Chapter 147, Do you know how expensive Orbital Strike is?
"The greenskins are born for war. As long as the war continues, the greenskin spores of the same tribe will develop faster, and the more greenskins will be produced. It's not just a matter of quantity, their technology will also be rapid growth in the process.”
Martins carefully supplemented Gu Hang's knowledge about the 'cancer of the universe'.
"It's a good thing you didn't lose. If they win a key battle, their growth rate will become faster. In fact, these guys in Trash Town have already given those green skins a victory , is equivalent to stepping on the accelerator of development for their clan."
"Fortunately, the development time of this greenskin clan is not long enough, and the starting point of development is in the ruins of the city. It is said that waste energy storms often blow here... If it is in a warm forest area with fertile land In terms of places, perhaps what we have to face is the tide of millions of green skins."
"In the face of this kind of enemy, it is not a wise choice to continue to fight a war of attrition. It takes 20 years for a human soldier to become a qualified fighter from birth; those green skins can fight when they grow out of the ground."
"If we don't solve the problem as soon as possible, what we will face next may not be [-] green-skinned orcs, but double the number of green-skinned creatures, and low-level green-skinned creatures such as grits with ten times the number. Their technology will even have higher progress, the artillery may become more powerful and shoot farther, and the armed trucks will become bigger and more ferocious. Even if there are any ghosts and snakes, they will not let them Surprisingly. Among the green-skinned race, sometimes there will be an existence that can tie a space warrior just by relying on physical strength."
……
After listening to a lot of information about the green skins told by Martins, Gu Hang's complexion has completely darkened.
Some previous plans had to be overturned.
Just like what Martins said about the green skin characteristics, the best way to deal with this kind of enemy is to flatten him in one wave, don't fight any war of attrition, and don't expect to reduce the number of enemies.Even if there is a wave of injustice, the number should be kept to a very low level.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future.
"I understand what you mean, thank you for the information." After thanking Martins, Gu Hang made a request by the way, "I will contact the 'Quintet' immediately, Brigadier General Yelicia will provide us with orbital strike support .We will launch an attack immediately after the orbital strike firepower is covered, and the time will be set in three days."
Martins nodded: "Three days, it's not a big problem."
"Then it's settled like this, and I still need your help at that time."
……
Three days is the time it takes for Gu Hang to distribute the equipment of those garrison divisions, consume the gift points, and train them to the T5 level.
This is necessary for troop preparation.
At the same time, he also took advantage of this time to have an in-depth communication with Yelicia in the sky.
When Yelicia's holographic image appeared in front of him, he saw the blond-haired female captain elegantly cutting a piece of steak with a glass of red wine in hand.
Gu Hang's mouth twitched slightly.
These things are the supplies he sent up to the Quintet.
The 'Quintet' has its own synthetic starch production capacity, and it also has military logistics supplies to be replenished before it sets out to carry out missions on Star Fury. Even if it does not replenish any logistics during the two-year mission, it will not be hungry. How wonderful it is.
They helped a lot, so on Gu Hang's side, there should always be a little expression.
When he was very poor before, Gu Hang would always remember to replenish some consumables for the transport spacecraft on the way back when he got the wool from Yelicia’s hand, and it will be even more so now.
Of course, the Quintet will not specifically send a spacecraft to transport logistical supplies.Otherwise, if you just transport some food, that little food can’t cover the cost of transporting the spaceship for one take-off and landing...
When the transport spacecraft came last time, it was on business.
A group of combat nuns from the Holy Lily came down from the spaceship, which was the support that Sister Gerrit called for.From the Sisters headquarters on Kologa 3, twenty Battle Sisters arrived on Fury Owl.
Counting the two who died in battle, there were 29 of them in total.
Gruite is at odds with the original Angry Owl Sect. Some time ago, they had completed the investigation of Fuxing City, and they had also caught some cultists who had been hiding relatively deep.
Some time ago, the 29 battle nuns had all left Fuxing City, followed the clues they had obtained, and headed north.
Gu Hang wished them good luck.
It would be the best thing if they could solve the cult problem from Fu Xiaoxing by themselves.And if they need any help, Gu Hang will not be stingy.
To put it bluntly, they are helping themselves with work.
On the return journey, the spaceship that transported twenty battle nuns also brought with it something that Brigadier General Yelicia valued most: a letter of commendation.
The letter of commendation was written by Gu Hang himself, to the effect that he, in the name of the governor of Fury Owl Star, thanked Brigadier General Yelicia for his outstanding contribution in fighting against and eradicating believers of evil gods and projections of evil gods who did not obey the emperor.
Of course, if this letter was only written by Gu Hang himself, it would not be of much use.
The letter of commendation from the planetary governor can indeed be used as a reference for military generals to obtain meritorious service after their actions.In other words, if Yelicia took this commendation letter and reported it, the imperial military would approve it.
But the degree of recognition is not necessarily the case.
A powerful governor, or even some foundry generals in the foundry world, needless to say, a letter is enough for a promotion; someone like Gu Hang... is not very successful, and the gold content is not enough.
But it would be different if the letter of commendation was accompanied by the signatures and seals of a Space Marine Chapter Master and a nun of the Order of Sisters.
Gu Hang wasn't sure how valuable such a commendation letter was, but at least seeing Yelicia's smiling face at the time, he knew it shouldn't be bad.
Of course, when the transport spacecraft returned that time, it was impossible to bring only one letter.Although the letter of commendation is the most important thing, the cabin can't always be empty, so it's better to transport some scarce logistics supplies up.
To please this rich woman in the sky a little bit.
It included some red wine, which was copied from the houses of the rich and powerful in Fuxing City, and it was said to be a local craft brewed product in the Qinggu area.
As for the steak, it comes from the bull beast.After the production of trucks in Weixing City rose to almost two hundred per month, the demand for animal power dropped significantly.
Not only the large number of commercial bulls in the caravans of Fuxing City lost their service value and returned to livestock farms to breed beef cattle and dairy cattle.
And that's how the steak Yelicia was eating now came from.
"Miss Commodore, you seem to be in a good mood."
"It's really not bad." Yelicia swallowed the beef slowly, took another sip of red wine, and commented: "However, the quality of your beef is not good, the meat is too rough; the taste of red wine is also slightly inferior."
"You still picked it up."
"Just a moment of emotion." The waiter next to him took away the tableware, and Yelicia continued, "This is the most difficult time in my life. In fact, I still thank you for sending these supplies, otherwise I would bring Those collections can’t last more than two years.”
"..."
Gu Hang coughed lightly, and didn't want to chat with Yelicia about these corrupt lives anymore, and turned to the business: "I hope to get support from an orbital strike."
"What specification?" Yelicia was still slow.
"Full strength."
"What?" Yelicia was not so calm now, "What enemy are you going to encounter on the surface that requires me to carry out a full orbital strike?"
"Green skin."
Gu Hang spoke concisely, while Yelicia frowned deeply.
"Or those green skins? Has there been any major changes?"
Yelicia asked this question because she had paid attention to the green-skinned threat on Fury owl before.Relevant information, as the war progresses, will be sorted out every once in a while and sent to the starship.
She understands what's going on on the ground.It was also because of this that she had doubts.
According to the latest situation she had seen before, the fight was relatively stalemate, but it was far from the level of a major incident.
Gu Hang coughed lightly, and said, "We can't keep fighting the war of attrition with those green skins here. If we don't solve the problem thoroughly, after a while, these green skins will grow again, and we will have to face another A war on a larger scale and with a more formidable enemy, we may not be able to win it by then."
"I understand that, but... do you know how much the Quintet costs to fire a full-scale shot?"
Gu Hang didn't expect Yelicia to ask this question.
He waited silently for Yelicia to continue speaking.Obviously, this is not really asking him, but a self-answering sentence.
Yelicia continued: "The last time you asked me to help with precision strikes was the least powerful and cheapest strike method on the 'Quintet': the 'Scalpel' ship-borne missile. The price of such a missile is three A hundred tax coins, a round of full-scale bombardment, is hundreds of 'scalpels';”
"The next level up is the 'Hot Hammer' macro cannon, which is a small macro cannon. The price of one shell is [-] tax coins, and there are twenty shells in one round."
"The highest level is the 'Wrath of Loyalty' macro cannon. The price of one shell is [-] tax coins. There are only two on my ship."
"Do you know how expensive it is now?"
The more he listened, the uglier Gu Hang's face became.
He knew it was expensive, but he didn't know it was so expensive.
The so-called 'tax currency' is not a currency concept in the conventional sense.That is the tool used by the imperial tax department to measure the value of the supplies provided by the planets when they collect taxes on various planets.A tax currency can be roughly equivalent to the minimum standard output value of a year's population in an ordinary world that the empire considers.
Turn in a healthy adult population, worth five tax coins; a well-trained soldier with a full set of individual equipment, worth ten tax coins.
In the registration records of the empire, Fu Xiaoxing pays taxes according to the lowest record - 1000 million tax coins for two years.Moreover, due to the preferential treatment Gu Hang received, he only had to pay a quarter of it for the first time, which is 250 million tax coins.
According to Yelicia, after such a round of shelling, the total consumption was 21 tax coins.
Fifty rounds, the ammunition money alone is enough for Nu Xiaoxing to pay the full imperial tax; twelve rounds, enough for Gu Hang's first tax payment; four rounds, it is enough for Gu Hang All the soldiers of the nine division brigade units created under Hang Hang's command were killed.
He understood the implication of Brigadier General Yelicia's words: Orbital strike can be launched, but after the strike is over, are your soldiers who died less worth my shell money?
This is the "spirit" of the first-class people in the navy: people calculate the price of shells based on human fate.
A round of artillery fire is worth the lives of [-] well-trained soldiers.If you take a hole that can be filled with [-] lives, don't ask the noble navy master to blow it up for you.
but……
Gu Hang suddenly smiled, and he understood a truth deeply in his heart: the navy's money is not my money, and the dead soldiers are really my soldiers!
So he said, "It's still going to explode."
Yelicia shook her head helplessly: "I knew you would say that. If you insist, then I will help you."
Anyway, the navy's money is not my mother's money.
Of course, it can't be too much.
So Yelicia added: "But...you have to do two things. The first is to determine the target. I read your original plan. It is impossible for me to let the expensive artillery fire aimlessly towards the ruins of the entire city. The cost ratio is too high. You need to give me accurate strike targets and improve strike efficiency. This is for your own good. Facing a target of this level, a full-scale strike can only come once at most. You have to Cherish this opportunity and strive for the best results."
"In addition, you need to give me a copy of the post-war effect statistics. Afterwards, the Military Affairs Department will review these things, and there needs to be a reasonable statement about the results and costs. If the results are too outrageous, the Military Affairs Department will trouble you. The consumption of shells may cost you, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. And I will also take responsibility, don't make it difficult for me."
"I understand. Thank you, Yelicia."
This time to thank, Gu Hang removed the honorific title and appeared closer.
He knew that Yelicia still helped.
Otherwise, if Yelicia really cherishes her life, doesn't want to take too much responsibility, and insists on following the rules, she really won't be able to apply for this round of orbital strikes.
Since she helped, Gu Hang would not intentionally trick her.
Isn't it just to find the target accurately?
Brothers of the Phoenix Warband help out.
Compared with the special forces, the interstellar fighters of the special forces sneak into the enemy's rear, mark important strategic targets, and facilitate the implementation of orbital strikes. Isn't this a common usage?
