Girls und War

There are now calls in parliament for restrictions on the use of special forces to prevent the ecology of the virtual battlefield from being completely destroyed.

However, regardless of whether Congress passes a bill to restrict it, in this unrestricted vacuum period, the war zone that first establishes special forces will try its best to seize its own battlefield interests first.

Fortunately, the Flower District already has two special forces. Otherwise, there would be nothing we can do to them at this time.

Another piece of news that surprised Xia Shu was that the Hana District Air Force Department and the Hana District Navy Department seemed to have started to set up their own special forces.

Among the group of students Xia Shu had previously recruited from the special operations camp was the "monk" they had sent to learn from.

However, Xia Shu was not worried about his position being threatened.

Because their special forces, as a model force for special forces, are at the forefront of the world in all standards and development directions.

Even if others gradually catch up, their strategic significance as the most important benchmark is immeasurable.

You must know that whoever controls the standards has the right to speak - this is not just a casual statement.

By referring to the monetary taxes in finance and the trade flows in the market, we can know how powerful the hidden power of Xia Shu's special forces is.

Now they have the final say in the special forces, and all war zones want to come and study abroad to learn how they build their forces.

They are the first to grasp the latest and most accessible special forces combat capabilities, as well as the best countermeasures and counter-countermeasures.

However, these things have nothing to do with Xia Shu now.

The most important thing for her now is to make the most of her time to study at the Officer Academy.

But there is something urgent to do.

That is, after a year on the imaginary battlefield, the new 300 million military funds should be allocated to them.

You have to spend all the money quickly and then go to the headquarters to cry poor.

If you keep silent, no matter how good you are at fighting, you will be ignored.

Xia Shu is not the kind of good kid who is frugal and manages the household well. If you give her the chance, she will definitely keep on doing it! She will max out the CEO's credit card!

Only in this way can the military value of the special forces, this little scoundrel, be reflected.

Uncle Xia Shu, who has lived two lives, knows very well that crying children get candy.

So after the awarding ceremony that day, Xia Shu returned to the Officer Academy and took the time to prepare a new batch of equipment purchase orders.

Then sent it to Farner.

Fafna never asks why when she gives orders to Xia Shu.

So before the military funding from the Army Headquarters was sent, Xia Shu directly planned to spend all the money without leaving a single cent.

This greatly disappointed the Finance Department, which still wanted to bargain with the special forces, and they all called them insiders.

The army's regular troops and front-line combat troops can only hate this, but there is nothing they can do.

Because every penny of the special forces' military budget is taken from them.

It can be said that every bullet of the special forces is soaked in the blood of the regular troops.

But who can blame the special forces for now representing the future development direction of the battlefield?

So they can only be obedient and serve as a good backup for Xia Shu.

939. I want an aircraft carrier meal

After the first half of the semester, the academy added several elective courses for the officer cadets.

Most of these courses are applicable to the imaginary battlefield, such as command and technology.

Xia Shu felt that these courses were optional. Even if he didn't understand anything, there were still many auxiliary officers and non-commissioned officers who could help him understand the details.

However, graduation requires them to pass the 5+2 subjects, which means that in addition to the five required courses, they must also choose two elective courses.

After Xia Shu randomly chose two courses from the Army Department, he only attended one of the elective courses because of his rich practical experience.

The teachers of the elective courses themselves said that it doesn’t matter whether they come or not, as long as they can pass in the end, attendance and other things don’t matter.

So Xia Shu openly skipped these elective courses and spent all his time studying space warfare.

In addition, although there are more courses scheduled for the next semester, the school actually gives students much more free time than before.

Nowadays, learning relies more on the students' own initiative rather than on the supervision of teachers.

I think it's understandable. After all, they are already school officers. It's no big deal for them to have people chasing after them and telling them to study hard every day.

However, although the academy gave them a lot of free space, Xia Shu still arranged physical training every day in the name of class monitor for everyone to participate in.

This group of students were also afraid that Mai Sui would really fail their physical fitness test at the end, so they all participated enthusiastically.

As a result, during this period, the physical fitness of those office officers has made great progress.

As for those who have already met the qualification standards, Xia Shu doesn't care much about them.

Sometimes after finishing training, everyone would sit by the playground and start doing exercises together.

Judging from their appearance, they really do look a bit like students.

As for Natsuki, at this time, he wasn't just learning about space warfare.

Now that she has free time, she has time to study the situation on the imaginary battlefield.

During this period, the special forces have been assigned quite a few missions, some of which are mercenary-style bounty missions, while others are important missions assigned to them by the Army Headquarters.

In order to be safe, Fafna only accepts simple tasks for small teams or individuals.

As for those who asked them to mobilize all of them, even if the other party begged her to do so, Fafna would not agree.

Anyway, if nothing works, just push the blame onto Xia Shu, using the excuse that the main commander is not there and she can't make a decision.

Of course, the other party would not actually come to the military academy to discuss missions with a midshipman who was currently training. So in the end, many missions were left unfinished.

Xia Shu admired Fafner's firm attitude very much.

And because of this safe combat behavior, their special forces have maintained a good record of zero casualties so far.

The only loss was during a large oil field mission, when one of their armed helicopters was captured by fighter jets in the sea area.

Xia Shu could still accept the loss of this single piece of military equipment.

You know, in this military equipment expansion, Xia Shu ordered more than a dozen helicopters of various types, almost all of which were for expanding the air support force.

Xia Shu is now a complete helicopter fanatic.

Each squadron can now be equipped with one offensive attack helicopter and one support transport attack helicopter.

The logistics team also has large support transport aircraft, the kind that can drop an entire company on one aircraft.

They can directly clear the way with armed helicopters and then airdrop multiple military forces to a combat area.

All the armed helicopters combined would be an air suppression force that cannot be ignored.

In many cases, a small war zone cannot compete with the terrifying combat system designed by Xia Shu.

At the beginning, the armed helicopters swept the tanks, then the special forces advanced and called for two air force bombing support.

Maybe they don't even have to do anything themselves, the other party will surrender directly.

The only disadvantage of this kind of warfare is that it is expensive!

A formal deployment would probably cost tens or even hundreds of millions.

Therefore, the price they pay for each deployment is extremely high.

This made all the commanders on the front lines feel that special forces are useful but they are unaffordable.

But there was nothing Xia Shu could do.

The supporting facilities, ammunition and fuel for armed helicopters all cost money.

Even if it is not used, the annual maintenance cost of the unit alone is one to eight hundred thousand.

Xia Shu had no choice but to ask for a high price.

Moreover, their helicopters and a series of supporting supplies were transported by large transport aircraft from the Air Force.

I have to pay them for the postage and labor costs, right?

Otherwise, would their helicopters fly thousands of kilometers to fight on their own?

Xia Shu had also considered whether he should save money and order two transport planes from the Air Force Ministry.

But just think about it.

That thing is too expensive. It’s better to get it for free than to buy it yourself.

Many times, when they go on missions, the command center there will cover their air tickets.

If they bought their own plane, it would be convenient, but maintaining it would be a huge expense.

As for the airport, it is still just Xia Shu's idea.

Apart from the special operations headquarters, they haven't established any other branches yet.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu crossed out the item "large transport aircraft" in his notebook.

Seeing this, the student next to him turned around and asked, "Xia Shu, after you came here, are you still remotely commanding the special forces?"

Xia Shu smiled and replied, "I guess so."

"You're really working hard. No wonder you're the rising star of the Army Department." They curiously leaned over to Xia Shu's notebook and asked, "What are you doing now? Purchasing equipment?"

"Yeah." Xia Shu looked down at the last line of the notes.

The special forces now have enough helicopters, but if they want to form long-distance combat capabilities, they still need support from the Air Force.

So is there any solution to get rid of this constraint?

Still there.

The last line of the note reads, "Helicopter Carrier."

The students nearby were stunned and asked, "Your special forces are going to be equipped with a helicopter carrier!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Xia Shu replied somewhat sheepishly, "I do plan to order one next quarter. We have plenty of helicopters anyway."

The other students were speechless. Was this something a prospective school should consider?

Xia Shu seemed oblivious to those glances and continued, "But an aircraft carrier seems too weak, and its self-defense capabilities are insufficient. So I also want two missile destroyers. That's about it. However, destroyers are quite expensive, and I don't think I can afford them. Hahahaha..."

940. Take it, take it, take whatever you want

The students on the playground didn't find Xia Shu's self-deprecation funny at all.

Their perspective is different from Xia Shu's. They only know about the equipment and grassroots troops, and the resource consumption is there.

The total cost of a regular soldier's full set of uniforms is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

A million resources are more than enough to arm a company.

Even for those elite front-line combat troops, the equipment quotation will not exceed three times that of the regular troops, which is three million.

Moreover, their equipment does not need to be updated for a long time once it is put on, and maintenance costs only tens of thousands of dollars a year.

That's all the military spending they have access to.

Even in the navy and air force, there is no real ceiling for the rank of lieutenant.

But Xia Shu, the actual commander of the special forces, now talks about aircraft carriers and destroyers.

They don't know how much the special forces' military expenditure is.

Three hundred million per quarter? Five hundred million?

This is a number they dare not even imagine.

But even if the cost of a helicopter carrier does not reach the terrifying level of a regular aircraft carrier, it still costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

What about destroyers? Radar- and missile-specialized aircraft carrier frigates, wouldn't it cost at least 500 million?

According to Xia Shu, it doesn’t seem like a difficult thing?
