Chapter 8 Departure
"See Commander!"
After Zhang Fan walked out of the base, the soldiers who were still patrolling and resting immediately stood at attention.
Although they were wearing masks and couldn't see their faces clearly, Zhang Fan still felt the fiery gaze under the other's mask.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Facing the mobilized soldiers, Zhang Fan also returned a military salute.
"Loyalty to the commander is the only meaning of our existence!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel sad, but he suppressed his emotions immediately.
I am a commander, I can’t cry casually!
In his heart, Zhang Fan reminded himself over and over again.
I have just given the order to the processing factory to make military tents, and they will be distributed to these soldiers as soon as the processing is completed.
Not to mention this thing is quite cheap, a thousand tents only cost 500 system funds.
After saying hello to the mobilization soldiers, Zhang Fan hurried to the tank factory. At this time, eight shiny new tanks with metallic luster were waiting for his inspection in front of the tank factory.
The Rhino tank is the main armored unit of the Soviet army. Although it is not as powerful as the Apocalypse, it is still reasonably priced.
The construction cost is only 800 system funds. This price is undoubtedly quite cheap for Zhang Fan. If it were not limited by the manufacturing time, Zhang Fan would like to crush the opponent with a torrent of steel right now.
"By the way, Davari!"
Just when he saw the tank, Zhang Fan suddenly remembered a question, and immediately called Davari.
"Commander, I'm here!"
At this time, something similar to a watch suddenly made a sound on Zhang Fan's left wrist.
This was an item that was given as a gift when the radar was built. As long as Zhang Fan takes it with him, he can contact Davari to issue orders through the watch at any time. Moreover, this watch can also be operated with virtual projection, which is extremely convenient.
"Are there people in these tanks?"
Zhang Fan looked at the tank and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
In the game, tanks can move by themselves when they come out, but in reality, they definitely need people to operate them. However, there are no tank soldiers in the army. So if they are produced and cannot be used, wouldn't they become a big resentment?
"Report to the commander, tanks will automatically be equipped with tank crews when they are produced. After unlocking the combat laboratory, you can specifically manufacture tank crews in the barracks."
"That's good..."
Hearing Zhang Fan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. If there was no one here, it would be a tragedy for him. Such a big killer weapon can't be used just by looking at it. What a feeling...
After getting close to the tank, Zhang Fan first carefully looked at the appearance of the Rhino tank. The pattern in the game was relatively vague and was far less intense than the one in reality.
With the 125mm gun barrel and the powerful body, if this tank encounters cavalry, I don’t know what the scene will be like. Thinking about it, I am actually a little excited.
However, Zhang Fan suddenly remembered something. In the game, the damage done by the Rhino tank to infantry is not very high. Sometimes it may take several rounds to kill an infantry.
So this raises a question, can anyone really withstand a 125mm shell?
What kind of monster is that?
"Gun Squadron See Commander!"
Just as Zhang Fan approached the tank formation, a man in a green combat uniform suddenly emerged from the top of the tank and saluted him.
"Thank you for your hard work. You must be exhausted after waiting all night."
After seeing the looks of several people, Zhang Fan realized that they were all of Chinese origin, but he was relieved immediately. After all, he even spoke Chinese, so looks were not a big problem.
Zhang Fan now has some understanding of this system. Whether it is a problem that he has considered or a problem that he has not considered, the other party will help him solve it thoughtfully.
Take the issue of appearance as an example. Zhang Fan had never considered this at all before. If he really conquered the world later and ended up with a group of foreigners with green eyes and blond hair, he would be very happy.
"It is our bounden duty to serve the commander!"
Hearing Zhang Fan's condolences, several tank soldiers seemed extremely excited.
"Who among you is the squadron leader?" Zhang Fan nodded with satisfaction and then asked again.
"Report to Commander, Tank Corps No. 001 is accepting your review!"
At this time, the tank soldier closest to Zhang Fan immediately shouted loudly.
"Okay, you will take them to Xiasha Town later. How is the endurance of the tank?"
After making so many soldiers, Zhang Fan has now figured out the rules of the system. Generally, the first unit produced is the captain. If the scale increases, the military rank will also change accordingly.
For example, Infantry No. 001 was promoted from battalion commander to division commander after Zhang Fan attacked another thousand conscripts.
Although it seems quite unfair, this is the rule of the red alert system.
But now I have no way to change it, I can only let it go. As long as there is no problem with my ability, then let's use it for now.
"Report to the commander, the tank has two fuel tanks, a main and a auxiliary. It can travel four hundred kilometers and is equipped with 25 rounds of artillery shells!"
The tank soldier answered Zhang Fan's question loudly.
Zhang Fan is very satisfied with this data. This battery life is basically enough for him to cycle through the entire Jiangsu Province.
Although the number of artillery shells does not seem to be much, this is the ammunition provided by the tank itself. Later in the war, I will definitely have to add a few vehicles specifically to transport supplies.
In this way, the problem of ammunition limitation will be solved.
After inspecting the tank corps, Zhang Fan checked about the new buildings that could be built and found that industrial factories, combat laboratories and repair stations had all been unlocked for construction permission.
Zhang Fan did not hesitate and directly chose to build.
After all, the industrial factory can reduce the cost of manufacturing vehicles in the tank factory, and the combat laboratory can unlock more types of arms and special vehicles.
Although the last maintenance station looks a bit useless, its importance is self-evident.
After building a repair station, the tank factory will unlock a crucial function, which is the manufacturing of Soviet base vehicles!
As long as a few more base vehicles can be built and placed in each crucial town, then based on the technological level of this era, there will be no possibility of being trapped.
You must know that Zhang Fan plans to bring the entire country into modernization in the future. If there is only one base, it will take a lot of effort.
After all, transportation alone is very time-consuming and laborious, but if processing plants can be opened in different places, the concept will be completely different.
Of course, it’s not just factories, but also hospitals, farms, pastures, etc.
After choosing to build, Zhang Fan opened the list of military units and found that a new unit was listed on it.
【Military Doctor】
Cost: 500
HP:100
Equipment: None (needs to be paired with a hospital)
Function: Unlock medical services and send injured soldiers to the hospital for treatment!
Looking at the new military doctors, Zhang Fan directly made a hundred of them, fifty of them were placed in the hospital, and the other fifty were with the troops.
Although there should be no serious injuries when facing these ancient soldiers at this stage, nothing is absolute, and it is not a bad thing to be prepared for a rainy day.
In addition, Zhang Fan also built several additional medical vehicles newly unlocked in the tank factory, but since the tanks are not finished at this stage, we can only wait.
Chapter completed!
