Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 5: Arms are indeed very profitable!

Barracks, power plant, ore refinery, important buildings in the early stage of Red Alert.

However, after seeing the construction costs of the three buildings, Lu Yuhua was silent for a long time.

In particular, the cost of building an ore refinery requires as much as 100,000 silver dollars and 100,000 kilowatts of electricity.

He is completely autistic.

Why is this crap so expensive?
However, when he saw that it came with three mining vehicles and that the mining vehicles could go deep underground to mine, he felt that the price was still acceptable.

"I have to save money again." Lu Yuhua sighed lightly, and then put all the 5,000 silver dollars on Dian Ma into the base vehicle.

"Build a barracks."

"Yes, Commander, the barracks are being built and are expected to be completed in 12 hours."

Seeing the money column drop from five thousand to two thousand, and at the same time, fifty thousand electricity was deducted, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but feel distressed.

But the next second I was confused again.

What the hell?
Not built in seconds?

He thought it would be built in seconds.

But think about it, it's a game.

This is limited in time. If it can be built in seconds, it would be no different from the methods of immortals.

"Build another military factory and another civilian factory."

Because it incorporates the games "Company of Heroes 2" and "Hearts of Iron", it is possible to build both military and civilian factories.

The former can produce weapons and equipment, and the latter can produce logistics-related materials, such as radio stations, first aid kits, etc.

"Yes, Commander. Military and civilian factories are under construction and are expected to be completed in 6 hours." The mechanical voice sounded again.

Looking at the money returning to zero again, Lu Yuhua felt a chill in his heart.

I originally thought that five thousand dollars was a lot, but now it seems like nothing.

Now we can only hope that Long Wenjian can fight back. Twenty boxes of opium should be able to sell for a good price.

This was the wealth that his predecessor had accumulated for a whole year, and now he has sold it all.

"Go back first. If I don't go back, I guess Lu Yuyan will suspect that I have run away." Because it can be controlled remotely, Lu Yuhua does not have to worry too much.

When I returned to the original place, I saw Lu Yuyan standing there with more than 20 people, looking around.

Obviously looking for him.

"Hehe, kid, you still thought I would run away, right?" Lu Yuhua's voice scared everyone.

When Lu Yuyan saw Lu Yuhua appear, his expression froze and he looked a little ashamed.

Because I did suspect that Lu Yuhua had run away with the money. After all, who would come out to recruit soldiers with 5,000 yuan?
He even thought about taking these twenty-odd people south to join the Fifth Army and fight against the Japanese.

Even if I die in battle, I will never live in disgrace.

Now seeing Lu Yuhua appear, I couldn't help but feel relieved, but also a little ashamed.

How could I doubt him?

"No, I just didn't see you and was a little worried." Lu Yuyan was obviously insincere. He took the opportunity to glance at the Dian Ma behind him and asked in confusion.

"Where's Dayang? You didn't bury him, did you?"

"Didn't you say you would use it to recruit soldiers? I have recruited more than 20 people. They all came here for the ocean. If there is no ocean, they will definitely run away."

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua did not answer immediately, but looked at the twenty or so people behind him.

I have to say that Lu Yuyan is quite capable, as he recruited more than 20 people so quickly.

It really surprised him.

Looking at these people's honest faces, it is obvious that they are ordinary people who have just put down their hoes.

Such soldiers are cannon fodder on the battlefield.

If he didn't have the golden finger, he would probably have really considered running away.

"When we get to Liuzhou City, we'll give you one dollar each." Lu Yuhua raised his voice. The people who were a little nervous at first felt much more at ease now.

Although Lu Yuhua is a bit of a scumbag, he still has a good reputation.

In other words, although the 714th Garrison Regiment is rotten, they are not short of money.

After hearing what Lu Yuhua said, Lu Yuyan was too embarrassed to refute, but he was still very confused about where the four boxes of dollars had gone.

"Don't guess. All the money was used to buy weapons on the black market." Lu Yuhua looked at him and talked nonsense seriously.

"what?"

black market?

Lu Yuyan was completely stunned.

How can there be a black market in this desolate mountain area?
And how could he not know about the black market near Liuzhou?
Are you treating him like a fool?
"Don't believe it?" Lu Yuhua knew that he didn't believe it, so he said confidently.

"How about making a bet? In three days, one hundred spears will be delivered to Liuzhou City."

When he heard the words "a hundred spears", Lu Yuyan was stunned. Is there really a black market nearby?

"Is it the Hanyang rifle or the Zhongzheng rifle? Aren't they both old rifles?"

Five thousand dollars for one hundred rifles, which means a rifle is only fifty dollars?
If this price was before the war, it might be a little more expensive.

But nowadays, it is extremely cheap.

You should know that the price of the Mauser K98 rifle soared to hundreds of French francs in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

According to the initial exchange rate of legal tender for silver dollars, that would be hundreds of silver dollars.

Bullets are calculated separately.

There is no doubt that bullets imported from various countries are more expensive because their craftsmanship is better.

However, due to China's relatively backward economy, the materials used to produce bullets are relatively cheap, and the average cost of each bullet is about 20 cents.

At that time, rice was ten cents per pound, and the cost of a bullet was equivalent to two pounds of rice.

One hundred rifles would need at least five thousand rounds of ammunition, which would cost one thousand dollars.

Five thousand dollars to purchase one hundred rifles and one thousand rounds of bullets?

Does he think he is a fool?
This is the pre-war price!
It will only be more expensive now!

For a moment, Lu Yuyan’s disappointment surged into his heart again.

It’s true that a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.

If he said fifty rifles and two thousand rounds of ammunition, he would believe it.

Lu Yuhua was a little puzzled. Did he quote too high a price?
He has already doubled it.

According to the cost given by the system, a Mauser K98 rifle costs only 30 yuan, and the bullets cost rounds for one silver dollar.

He has doubled his money, is it still low?
In fact, he did not report it too high, but too low.

The main reason is that he doesn't understand how profitable arms are.

"No, it's a brand new Mauser K98 rifle, and rounds of bullets." Lu Yuhua said with some guilt.

As expected, when Lu Yuyan heard his words, he was completely disappointed.

It turned out that he was deceived.

How could he be so stupid?

Believe that the other person has really changed.

"Get out of here! Don't you believe what I said? I told you that in three days, one hundred rifles and ten thousand rounds of bullets will be delivered to Liuzhou City. You will know whether they are there or not when the time comes if you go and take a look." Lu Yuhua couldn't stand the other party's disappointed look and kicked him.

"Now, follow me back to Liuzhou."

He now wished he could fly back to Liuzhou immediately, find Long Wenjian, and ask him how much the twenty boxes of opium were sold for.

I hope it’s at least ten thousand dollars.
