Chapter Twelve: The War Factory

  The Maregeshus Mountains became the best cover for the Red Alert warriors to retreat, and after dawn, they entered the mountains. Zhong Yicai let the soldiers who had been running all night hide in the woods to rest. Leaving the flat desert terrain, even if Kargul's army contacted the Federal Air Force of Persia, they couldn't find any traces among the stacked mountains.

  Zhong Yi also knew that after this raid on the Super Pit mine, the base would not have much time to secretly develop without being disturbed. Under Australia's current social system, if a privately-owned mine was robbed and the federal army still did nothing, even the government would be impeached by Congress. Those politicians in Canberra wouldn't just sit back and watch this happen. Even if the base's location was hidden well enough, the changes at Ailsa Rock would make it only a matter of time before the base was exposed.

  This feeling of being chased is really depressing, Zhong Yi has been thinking about what to do to make the base develop faster. After some thought, it's still a problem with military rank, ah, this headache-inducing military rank... If I could start again, I would definitely play Red Alert seriously in college, if I had to say how long, Zhong Yi let out a sigh and said, at least until I'm a senior colonel.

  Colonel, can have the power to recruit a regiment, this is indeed the commander's current biggest dream. Promoting to lieutenant colonel is so difficult, almost got killed, and then one level at a time, there are still four levels to go before promoting to colonel and leading a regiment, just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm going crazy.

  On the way home, Jiang Yunzhi insisted on getting a stretcher for his superior officer. Zhong Yiqiang argued that his body was fine, but he couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to lie down on the stretcher. As a result, Lieutenant Zhong began to indulge in wild and fanciful thoughts.

  The food problem has not been well resolved, and what is produced in the mine is only enough for dozens of people to eat for a few days. There is no good solution, and during the march, several sharpshooters occasionally catch some wild animals to supplement everyone's diet. Fortunately, there are no animal protection laws in this era, and even if there were, no one would care. Commander Zhong Da is arrogant enough to think that he will be the one to make the laws on this land in the future.

  A day and night of rapid march made the iron-made men all show fatigue, but when they saw the black gold-colored main building of the base, even Jiang Zhongshi, known as "poker face", showed a slight smile. Zhong Yi raised his left wrist, 37 hours, the entire raid operation from departure to annihilating the guard team and returning to the base took only 37 hours, and this was because he was hit by a bullet and delayed some marching time. Looking up at the somewhat excited troops, just in time to see Qian Zhihao's sneaky glance, with a slight smile, somewhat mysterious, a bit profound, Qian Zhongshi couldn't help but shudder, "Not good, been remembered by the boss!"

  Actually, Zhong Yi's smile was a satisfied smile, a proud smile. Seeing such elite soldiers, Zhong Yi even felt a sense of grandeur: lend me three thousand tiger-like warriors, and I will restore the vast expanse of China; my sword will point to the Tian Shan mountains in the west, and my horse will trample the northern shores of the Black Sea; Lake Baikal's surface will be filled with drawn bows, and the Kuril Islands will be covered with snow; I will visit the ancient lands of Indochina, and pay respects to my ancestors at the ruins of Tokyo; wherever the Han flag points, those who dare to offend the mighty Han will be annihilated, no matter how far away they may be!

  As I walked into the base hall of Little Departure for two days, the voice of Tianya Bird came in time, "Congratulations, officer, successfully won the first battle!"

  "Smooth sailing!" After the ordeal, being able to hear the female anchor's voice again made Zhong Yi very happy, and he couldn't help but blurt out a curse. "The gold has been retrieved, take a look, is there enough funds?"

  "No problem, sir. Jiang Zhongshi has already put the 44 gold bricks into the smelting furnace. The base has obtained a funding of 880,000. Adding to the mining funds from these few days, the base's available funds have now reached 900,000."

  "What? So many? A mining cart digs out a big red stone in one day, and it's only 120,000 funds. One gold brick is worth 200,000?"

  It's not a gold mine, it's pure gold! How many cars of gold ore can be refined to produce such a large piece of pure gold? Haha, Zhong Yi was almost knocked down by the sudden happiness, humming "Little Monster, Little Monster, Little Monster".

  "What's this song?" The bird was puzzled, searched the database for half a day but couldn't find it. Zhong Yi despised him, "Don't you even understand? Happiness is when cats eat fish and dogs eat meat, Ultraman fights little monsters, little monsters, little monsters."

  ……

  As soon as the buttocks touched the leather chair in front of the console, the female anchor's very formal voice came: Congratulations, Commander, within the specified time limit, the base can use funds exceeding 50,000 to complete the promotion mission. The commander is promoted to Army Lieutenant and the base opens the War Factory building.

  Things are like this, before achieving it, there will be a lot of motivation to toss around, once achieved, there won't be much pleasure left. Commander Comrade has already been tossed around very comfortably, calmly opening the military camp, summoning soldiers, we have money now, directly recruiting up to the maximum limit, huh, the highest is just seventy people (company level one hundred people, already thirty people). Switched to the building interface, suddenly there are three more icons, "Isn't it just a tank factory? How did three more pop out at once!"

  "Sir, you've misunderstood. The permission that's been opened up this time is for the War Factory. The Tank Factory you mentioned is just one part of it." The female anchor's gentle tone was as usual.

  "Huh?" This is refreshing, there's no war factory in the game. Open the icon and take a closer look at the introduction. Zhong Yile was delighted, "I said I couldn't always be unlucky! Haha, my luck has turned around!"

  The three icons are Tank Factory, Gun Factory and Logistics Factory.

  Construction Unit: Chariot Factory

  Funds: 2000

  Power demand: 100

  Construction area: 100 * 100

  Construction time: hour

  A land-based combat vehicle manufacturing unit that can produce various tanks and armored personnel carriers based on the base's technological level.

  Finally, we're going to have armor! Zhong Yi's expression suddenly changed to one of excitement. What kind of armored officer doesn't have a tank? Suddenly remembering that the soldiers recruited earlier were all first-class enhanced infantry combat capabilities, he switched to the character interface and chose to cancel. The number of recruits remained the same, but only ten had first-class enhanced infantry combat capabilities, thirty had third-class enhanced vehicle driving capabilities, and thirty had second-class enhanced artillery operation capabilities. With tanks, we also need drivers and gunners.

  It's all set, switch back to the building interface and click on the gun factory.

  Arsenal Factory

  Funds: 1500

  Power demand: 50

  Construction area: 20 * 50

  Construction time: 6 hours

  Light weapon and artillery manufacturing units can produce various rifles, machine guns, artillery and other weapons based on the base's technological level.

  "Haha! I'll never have to hold that broken 54 again! Once it's built, my left hand will be holding an 05 silent assault rifle and my right hand a 92 gold-plated..."

  Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the female anchor's voice came through in a timely manner, "Commander, I suggest you build a logistics factory first. The base's military rations are currently less than ten days' worth."

  "Damn it, don't you know that being interrupted when you're halfway to climax is the most annoying thing?!" Angrily and helplessly clicked on the third icon, entering the diligent factory.

  Construction Unit: Logistics Factory

  Funds: 5000

  Power demand: 100

  Construction area: 1000 * 1000

  Construction time: 12 hours

  The outcome of war is determined by logistics.

  Is that it? Just one sentence? You can build anything, but you didn't say that, however this sentence is very correct.

  After some consideration, Zhong Yi still adopted the suggestion of the Heavenly Bird, first building a logistics factory. The number of people in the base was increasing, and it was necessary to satisfy everyone's needs for supplies. Fortunately, the construction time was only 12 hours, but the occupied area was quite large, covering an area of one square kilometer. It couldn't be placed in the mountain valley, so it had to be put outside the valley. Anyway, it would eventually be discovered by people, so they might as well take a bold step and directly encircle the base with walls. According to the previous budget, they would rely on the mountain valley and encircle an area of one hundred square kilometers outside. If there was not enough money, they would send tanks to that place called Huangjinying, occupy it by force, and mine for gold.

  "My dad has a war factory, who am I afraid of?" Niu said with a loud laugh. The commander made up his mind and clicked to build the logistics factory. Then he ordered Tian Tang Niao to let the intelligent system take charge of building the wall and fencing the land. He became a absentee owner and went back to the third floor. It's been two days, but I miss my big bed so much!
