Awesome, awesome.
4.17 million viewers tipped 130 million yuan in ten minutes, with an average of more than 30 yuan per person.
Looking at the balance of 2.29 billion silver coins in his account, Zhu Lingye straightened his back and was extremely confident about the future.
An infantry regiment would cost about 360 million. Tonight's reward was equivalent to giving him a fully armed infantry battalion.
In fact, the cost could still be reduced. For an infantry regiment with a price of 360 million, the ordinary soldiers would be Level 2 Bio-Humans, and the squad leaders would be Level 3 Bio-Humans.
If the ordinary soldiers were replaced by Level 1 Bio-Humans and the squad leaders were replaced by Level 2 Bio-Humans, the price would drop to 260 million!
Should he summon two more infantry regiments and an artillery regiment to fill up the 1st division?
Thinking of the wild boar hide army, Zhu Lingye made up his mind to buy three more regiments to make up for the first division.
With a fully mechanized infantry division, even 100,000 Qing troops would not be afraid.
The two infantry regiments were easy to purchase, and they spent a total of 520 million silver coins.
What about the artillery regiment?
Looking at the dazzling array of cannons, he fell into a dilemma.
FH18 105mm Howitzer!
Model TL-20 152mm Cannon Howitzer!
M1 155mm Howitzer!
The HH-18 150mm Howitzer!
Bofors M-31/39 150mm Howitzer!
……
The hundreds of cannons were dazzling, and they didn't know what to choose.
In his mind, the Heavy Artillery Regiment needed to be equipped with three types of cannons: 105mm, 120mm, and 150mm.
As for a larger caliber, there was no need for that at all.
To deal with the wild boar skin, could it be that you still pulled out the Gustav cannon?
Combined with his understanding as a military fan before he transmigrated, Zhu Lingye finally chose three types of artillery.
M101 105mm Light Howitzer.
The muzzle velocity was 472 meters per second, the maximum range was 11 kilometers, and the maximum firing rate was 16 rounds per minute. It was a towed medium-caliber howitzer with a caliber of 105 millimeters and a total weight of 2030 kilograms.
The gun frame was made of welded steel and had an open structure. It was reinforced with reinforcement ribs. The gun barrel was made of high-strength steel and had a service life of 5,000 to 7,500 rounds.
There were many types of ammunition. In addition to the commonly used grenades, there were also armor-piercing bullets, armor-shattering bullets, rocket-propelled grenades, smoke bombs, and so on.
In addition, there were chemical bombs and arrow stun bombs. The chemical bombs were divided into mustard gas and sarin gas. The arrow stun bomb was mainly aimed at personnel. An M546 arrow stun bomb weighing 17.3 kilograms had 8000 small steel arrows inside. When it exploded, it spread in all directions and had amazing lethality to the gathering point of personnel.
A-19S heavy howitzer.
The cannon weighed 7117 kilograms and was equipped with a variety of ammunition such as killing grenades, concrete blasting bombs, and armor-piercing grenades. Its maximum range was 20.4 kilometers. In addition to its conventional fire suppression ability, it also had a powerful anti-armor ability.
The initial speed of the armor-piercing grenade was 800 meters per second, and the direct aim range was 4000 meters. The penetration force against the vertical armor was 130 millimeters at a distance of 1000 meters, and 100 millimeters at a distance of 2000 meters.
In other words, within the effective combat range, the famous Tiger tank's frontal armor could not withstand the attack.
The third was the M-1 155mm Howitzer.
As a famous cannon from World War II, the M1 was 7.32 meters long, 2.44 meters wide, 1.8 meters high, and weighed 5.8 tons. It had a barrel that was 23.4 times longer than its original diameter. There were 48 rifling lines inside, and the initial velocity of the shell was 563.9 meters per second. Its maximum range was 14.6 kilometers.
Compared to the famous type 150mm howitzer, the M1 howitzer was lighter and had a longer range when used with normal grenades.
Therefore, Zhu Lingye chose the M1 Long-legged Tom.
30 M101s, 40 A-19S, 30 M1s, 100 towing trucks, 40 heavy-duty transport trucks, 100 tons of fuel, 8000 shells, maintenance tools, accessories, etc., plus 1600 artillery, a total of 600 million silver coins.
F * ck, so expensive!
Looking at the account balance reduced by half, Zhu Lingye raised his eyebrows in pain.
Compared to buying military equipment to produce weapons and ammunition, buying finished products was simply a sky-high price!
Unfortunately, it was impossible to establish a sound industrial system in a short period of time.
Let's start the war. We'll first conquer the southwestern provinces and immediately start building an industrial system. We'll be able to produce our own weapons and equipment within two years and reduce our dependence on the system store as much as possible.
The finished product was too expensive. It was better to buy industrial equipment.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
While Zhu Lingye was thinking about his future plans, footsteps sounded.
He turned around and saw Chu Yunlong walking over with two middle-aged westerners. One of them was wearing the army uniform of the Sun Never Sets Empire and his rank was a colonel.
Needless to say, it was definitely the person in charge of Sasun Trading Company in Qinzhou and the commander of the Empire's garrison at the southern port.
Sure enough, when the three of them came closer, Chu Yunlong saluted and introduced them.
"Commander-in-chief, these two are Isaac, the person-in-charge of Sasun Trading Company, and Colonel Elvis, the commander of the 26th Regiment of the Third Cavalry Division of the Imperial Army of the Empire!”
Zhu Lingye nodded and asked in fluent English.
"Hello, I am Zhu Lingye, the Commander-in-Chief of the Yan Huang National Defense Force.”
