Chapter 264 We, the Holy Human Race, also need to fight with a system of tactics!
Zhao Gang opened the tablet and announced the purchase limits for each store.
"The dwarves' total procurement amount is 17 billion US dollars!"
"The Elven race's total procurement amount is 9.33 billion US dollars!"
"The Holy Human Race, total procurement amount: 7.37 billion US dollars!"
Sorin and Balin exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.
Bahrain eagerly unfurled a thick parchment scroll, which was covered with a list written in dense dwarven script.
Sorin snatched the list away, pointed at it, and shouted at Zhao Gang:
"Sir! Tanks! All types of tanks, we need two hundred of them!" he roared, then pointed to the amphibious models in the corner.
"Forget about the one that can run on water; just bring one back for research. We don't have a sea where we live!"
"Two hundred 155mm self-propelled howitzers! And two hundred sets of those 'Land Shield 2000 and 3000' systems too!"
"Three hundred wheeled assault vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles!"
"And those swarm tanks that can shoot out a whole bunch of tiny planes from their bellies, let's start with fifty of them to try them out!"
Thorin became more and more excited as he spoke, like a child who had lost his way in a candy store.
"Damn it, why aren't you selling the helicopters! Forget it..." He waved his hand irritably.
"Transport vehicles, diesel fuel, maintenance parts... we need all of that! Rifles and machine guns, make sure they're all in place!"
After reciting a series of statements, he paused, then continued, spittle flying, to add to the list:
"The most important thing is the ammunition! That stuff called 'cubic nitrogen,' we'll start with the matching supplies... five billion US dollars to start!"
"What a damn shame, the list doesn't include one of your missiles that can explode like a mushroom cloud, otherwise we would have at least fired one to see what it was like!"
Finally, he grinned widely, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"And also, that kind of strong liquor you call 'baijiu,' it's fiery and potent!"
"Give us a thousand cases first!"
Zhao Gang's fingers flew across the tablet, ignoring Thorin's complaints and profanities, and he smiled as he said:
"no problem."
"Elder Thorin, since we're old friends, I'll give you ten extra cases of baijiu!"
"Oh! My good brother!" The Bahraini commander's eyes widened, and he rushed forward, almost giving Zhao Gang a bear hug.
"This is fantastic!"
On the other hand, Elder Muyu appeared much calmer.
Holding the list, he carefully compared it to the steel behemoth before him, reporting on each item one by one.
"We need a total of one hundred light and heavy tanks. One hundred self-propelled artillery pieces."
"Fifty tracked infantry fighting vehicles and fifty heavy infantry fighting vehicles."
"One hundred sets of the Land Shield 2000 system."
"Individual soldier drones, various transport vehicles, diesel fuel, engine oil... and the corresponding rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, and ammunition..."
Zhao Gang registered them one by one.
"Okay, I've noted it all down."
Finally, only Archbishop Kyle remained.
He held the list, staring at the $7.37 billion figure, his brow furrowed, deep in thought.
This number sounds astronomical, but looking at the price list, it seems like a pittance.
This time, the permanent portal was not limited by the width of the portal as before, and the Great Xia transported all its weapons and equipment over.
Looking at the descriptions of those new weapons, he was extremely tempted by each one, as each one was a powerful tool in the fight against the demons.
You only realize how little money you have when you need it!
Seeing his pained expression, Zhao Gang went over and said understandingly:
"Archbishop Kyle, are you troubled by how to allocate the quota?"
Kyle sighed and nodded.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Your weapons are too good, and there are too many of them. I'm having a hard time choosing."
Zhao Gang opened his tablet and brought up a dynamic tactical demonstration image.
"I have a suggestion you can listen to."
"In our Great Xia, there is a saying, 'Good steel should be used on the blade,' and another saying, 'Systematic warfare.'"
He pointed to the icons on the screen and began to explain.
On the screen, the green cube representing the tank was surrounded by a tidal wave of red demonic dots, making it impossible for it to move.
"You see, a simple tank formation is indeed a powerful assault force. But once caught in the Demon race's human wave tactics, they'll be trapped and starved to death like this."
"Without long-range artillery support, they will be picked off one by one by the throwing demons and corruptors from afar, like target practice."
"Without air defense, the winged demons and gargoyles in the sky are their nightmare."
Kyle's expression grew increasingly serious as Zhao Gang explained.
The Holy Knights have suffered similar crushing defeats before.
"So," Zhao Gang changed the subject, drawing a circle on the screen with his finger.
The icons for tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, box guns, and anti-aircraft missile vehicles have been integrated together.
The battle situation on the screen reversed instantly.
The self-propelled artillery roared, and the dense red dots were wiped out in large patches.
The infantry fighting vehicle followed closely behind the tank, using its onboard machine gun to clear out the approaching monsters.
The moment the flying light representing the Winged Demon appeared in the sky, it was torn to shreds by the dense net of fire rising from the ground.
"I recommend a 'package solution' to you, which we call—the Heavy Combined Arms Battalion."
"Fifty tanks will serve as the spearhead of the attack, while one hundred tracked infantry fighting vehicles will carry your knights to cooperate in the battle and protect the flanks."
"A battalion of self-propelled artillery provides continuous long-range fire suppression, coupled with a company of LD-3000 anti-aircraft missiles and short-range air defense missiles, providing a protective umbrella for the entire cluster."
"In addition, there are supporting rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, grenades, and sufficient ammunition and logistical supplies."
Zhao Gang closed the demo and looked at Kyle, who was dumbfounded.
"Such an 'Iron Fist' that integrates offense and defense and can operate independently costs more than seven billion US dollars. I will equip you with the complete set."
"The width of the battle line it can cover and its combat effectiveness far surpass that of one hundred or even two hundred tanks fighting independently!"
Kyle stared blankly at the tablet, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.
So this is how war is fought?
Isn't this... isn't this the ultimate evolution of the shield infantry, spearmen, archers, and mage phalanx?!
He suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.
"I understand...I understand!" Kyle's voice was filled with excitement.
"Sir, let's proceed according to your proposed plan!"
"We need a complete 'combination battalion'!"
"We, the Holy Human Race, must also employ systematic warfare!"
P.S.: Thank you to all the godfathers for the gifts these past few days, so I'm adding an extra chapter!
