Li Zihao found an opportunity to go to the vault alone. The place had been cleaned and electric lights were installed. It was completely different from before. Rows of gold boxes had been arranged.
Player, have you thought about it? How much money do you want to spend? Don't tell me you want to borrow soldiers from the system to conquer the world? That's too inhumane.
Five hundred tons, no…600 tons, I want to crush Frunze
You're invincible from the start. Isn't it great? Player, your luck is really good.
Don't tell me you'll only be happy if I'm defeated like a mountain?
Suddenly, the vault shone with a golden light. Li Zihao was stimulated by the strong light and immediately closed his eyes.
In the System Store, Li Zihao saw a string of money and his eyes turned into money.
Tanks, tanks, I want planes, tanks, cannons, and armored trains.
Welcome! As long as you have money, you won't be able to buy any technological weapons that don't exceed this era.
Li Zihao scanned the map. First, infantry. This was a must. Whether it was now or in the future, infantry was the main force of the army.
Then, let's send twenty divisions first. The standard equipment would be Class A divisions. There would be an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, a division headquarters, a field hospital, and engineers.
Li Zihao had removed the Cavalry Regiment because he was planning to create a Cavalry Division. The number of Cavalry was not too large, and it would only be used as a mobile force.
In the army, the cavalry was not the most commonly used. The heavy artillery division that Li Zihao wanted the most was a strategic weapon in this era. If he had such a heavy artillery division, he would definitely be able to dominate the warlords when he returned to China and no one would dare to provoke him.
This heavy artillery was not cheap. The manpower, artillery, and the cost of the later stages were equivalent to the cost of ten infantry divisions. The sound of a cannon was worth ten thousand taels of gold.
Of course, he could also change it to a smaller caliber. If he changed it to a 100mm field cannon, the cost would be much lower. Moreover, this small caliber field cannon was less affected by the terrain and was more useful. However, its power would be somewhat unsatisfactory. After all, you get what you pay for.
The caliber of the heavy artillery was just right there. In the absence of trucks, they could only rely on the railway.
"Damn, it's too expensive. I'll just buy one.”Li Zihao's fingers were trembling. Buying a heavy cannon was like buying a car in modern times. Not only was the car expensive, but the fuel cost was also high. Moreover, there was a depreciable rate. If it was broken, it would have to be repaired. It would cost money!
The 22nd Division would cost less than half of the money if he bought them. Li Zihao looked at the tanks and planes. The performance of the tanks was too poor and it was troublesome to maintain them. However, he still bought dozens of Renault FT-17 tanks, all equipped with 75mm cannons. To be honest, such tanks would only move at a turtle speed on the battlefield. It was better to walk faster, with a speed of only 16 kilometers per hour.
For someone like Li Zihao who had seen the modern main battle tanks, such tanks were trash, the trash of trash. However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the times were different.
As for the planes, he definitely needed them. This was the second most expensive thing after the heavy artillery. He didn't have much money now, so he didn't dare to use too many soldiers at once. Otherwise, if he couldn't afford to raise them, the army would definitely disperse. At that time, he would have no place to cry.
Please pay the bill, thank you for your patronage
Li Zihao seemed to be able to see the System's profiteer face. He wondered if it had made a profit. He had spent 400 tons of gold on an army of about 300,000. Moreover, this was only the cost of buying it. It would also cost a lot of money to raise the army. With so many people, they had to eat the food of horses every day. The food expenses could not be less.
After paying the bill, the system quickly began its work.
Player, I'll give you some free items. You're an overlord after all. You have to dress up more handsomely and mightily. This will suit your identity. Marshal Li, Marshal Hao.
The warlords of the Republic of China were generally called commanders and marshals. There were countless warlords now, and commanders were everywhere. However, those who could be called marshals were mostly big warlords, which meant that only the big shots of the warlords of various factions were qualified to be called marshals. At the very least, they had to be the military governor of a province to be qualified to be called marshals.
You're too stingy. You bought so many things, and you want to send me away with just a tattered military uniform?
If you're unhappy, then do you want a woman? Nowadays, the warlords have many wives. As long as you have money, no one will dare to say anything even if you have a hundred wives.
If I want to find a woman, do I still need to buy it from you? Are you a human trafficker?
Alright, then send a famous general. However, there is only one quota.
There was also a general store, but Li Zihao didn't buy it because it was too expensive. It was better to use the system's own generals and officers. Anyway, their abilities were not bad, and each had their own specialties.
As it was given to him for free, Li Zihao did not have the chance to appoint a general. Famous generals were very important to him. Of course, he could command the army himself. However, there would always be times when he had to divide the troops. It was definitely impossible to rely on his sworn brother, Zhang Lin. He was born to be a peasant, and it was already his limit to command an army. He might not be able to lead it well. A month ago, Zhang Lin was still a platoon leader, and the former Li Zihao was a company commander.
The only thing he could be sure of was the Chinese. After all, Li Zihao's army was Chinese. It was impossible for him to have a foreign general.
Since it was a fictional history, the system pretended to be a strong man. Li Zihao felt that the possibility of drawing a Chinese general was very high.
When he was choosing his character, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he had drawn a famous anti-red general, the King of Jinmen, Hu Lian. He had once led a division to wipe out five columns of Huaye. In the end, he even sat on a tank and ran out of the encirclement. He could be considered a legendary general.
Even though it was just a fictional history, the generals of China and Russia had the same beliefs. The system would not do something so unreliable.
Now that Li Zihao was going to fight against the Russian army, it would be like adding wings to a tiger with a general like him.
After spending more than half of the money, the remaining gold in the vault was used as a precaution. The remaining money in the system store was naturally used to maintain the expenses of the army. Otherwise, would the hundreds of thousands of troops be left to fend for themselves?
However, when it came to money, as long as you came across something you liked, you would buy it. This was because money was not really spent. It was used to accompany you in another form. At that time, prostitution and eating and drinking did not count because those kinds of things could only be considered enjoyment. After spending it, it was really spent. It was not like buying things that always belonged to you.
Li Zihao felt that he should first conquer St. Petersburg and use it as his base camp because he could contact foreign forces here.
Moreover, the Winter Palace was also here. If Princess Tasha was in a hurry, she could also be crowned there. St. Petersburg was the capital of the Romanov Dynasty. After the end of the Russian rule, the Soviet government moved its capital to Moscow, which was also the westernmost city in the country.
Therefore, this city was very important to Princess Tasha.
