Chapter 767, Battle Group Expenses
The bloodline composition of the blood shark gene seeds also surprised Gu Hang.
How did it come about that half of the bloodline came from the traitor legion?
Even when the army was founded, or when the battle group was expanded later, some other gene seeds were used and mixed into the battle group, but at most it was said that the warriors in the battle group had different bloodlines and were the same. Bastards' warband.
But I have never heard of a single gene seed being mixed with other bloodlines.
Normally something like this wouldn't happen. The bat seed is implanted and becomes a bat warrior. Whether it is a new seed that grows out five years later or a seed dug out from the body after death, they are all of the blood of the bat army and will not be related to the secret guard blood. If people stay for a long time, the two bloodlines will merge.
Space Marines do not reproduce sexually, and there is no natural union of two seeds.
Gu Hang suspected that it might be genetic technology.
Either it was that when the Blood Shark Chapter was founded, their gene seeds had changed; or was it that they had unintentionally or even intentionally modified their own gene seeds in the dark outer lands over the years?
It's possible.
Gu Hang wrote this down.
But no matter what, the blood sharks are now relieved. The alliance is now in control of six battle groups, and in the ultimate state, it can explode eight thousand space warriors.
This is already a force that cannot be underestimated.
This is true in terms of quantity, and even more so in terms of quality.
Dragon seeds, phoenix seeds, and blood shark seeds are not inferior. As long as the quality of blood shark seeds and dragon seeds is similar to that of phoenix, it means that as long as the capital is spent, the proportion of company champions can be increased to 10-15%.
That's six hundred to nine hundred people.
The fight was super fierce.
To put it in an exaggerated way, the company champion can be unparalleled in the most ordinary group of space warriors.
……
The cost of raising Space Marines is also high.
For four companies like Phoenix, Underworld Gull, New Age Torch, and Raging Flame, they don’t have much of a problem. If you don't have money, just give them some basic ammunition and the like to ensure that training can proceed normally.
There are not many brutal battles where they are needed now.
But for Dragon King's Spear and Blood Shark, this is not so easy.
Especially blood sharks.
The alliance has given people what they promised, and it's hard to break the promise.
For a Space Marine Chapter, the greatest cost of raising them comes from several aspects.
First is ‘people’.
The conditions for the selection of new blood of Space Marines are quite demanding. This is also the reason why the Chapter needs a home planet as a recruitment planet. It is true that the tax revenue provided by the home star is a stable income, but what is often more important is that the home star can provide a stable source of troops.
Some war groups find a remote planet with a particularly harsh natural environment as their home planet. What they seek is not income, but that this environment can naturally help select and cultivate suitable new blood.
Gene seeds are rare, and a warrior can only produce two when he dies. A failed operation will cause heavy losses; the probability of operation failure is high, and it may even lead to the death of the group and the extinction of the species.
Because of this, the selection of new blood in the battle group is a very serious matter, and even requires mobilizing the entire planet and all the people of the right age to carry out a selection activity that is very expensive and consumes a lot of losses. Even the selection activities of some battle groups can be called "bloody".
I don’t know how much money it will cost to hold such a global event during a selection, I don’t know how many young people will die or be maimed, and I don’t know what the success rate will be for the one who comes first... This is the dilemma faced by most war groups, and The costs they bear.
This cost is not even easy to measure in monetary terms.
A space warrior, with the most ordinary armor and a series of weapons, only costs about 100,000 tax coins, or at most 200,000 yuan. But how much is a Space Marine worth? It's hard for anyone to say. The seed, the cost behind success, the decades and centuries of experience and growth... are all difficult to quantify. But this cost is directly borne by the alliance here.
To be precise, it was erased by Gu Hang using the system's ability. By simply paying a few inexpensive gift points, you can get the best benefits with minimal movement.
This was also something Ewing attached great importance to when he finally chose the league.
In addition to the cost of the 'people' dimension, which is very expensive and difficult to quantify, the remaining equipment is easier to say.
A set of power armor and a set of individual equipment for one person is definitely not enough. But even if you include the batches of Terminator armors and all kinds of powerful equipment, it is only a one-thousand-person operation, so it is not too expensive.
What's more, Blood Shark doesn't really start from scratch and build from scratch. They all have these equipment in stock, and the alliance only needs to update and iterate them.
For expenses directly spent on the war group, 2 billion a year is enough, and 3 to 5 billion is considered a luxury.
But this only refers to the equipment of a thousand space warriors themselves, even if it includes all kinds of advanced armor and vehicles they need, after all, it is only a thousand people, so it is not much expensive to leave.
However, the other bulk of the battle group's expenditure is on the auxiliary army.
There are only a thousand people in the battle group. If we really have to rely on a thousand supermen to fight any battle, then the supermen will also be attrition. No war group is willing to suffer such losses.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Auxiliary troops must exist.
But this thing is where the upper and lower limits vary greatly for each war group.
Some don't pay much attention to it and use the auxiliary army as cannon fodder; some treat the auxiliary army as direct brothers; some want to build it well but have no money; some rich people build the auxiliary army as much as the top-level Astra Militarum. Let...
Gu Hang directly allocated two army groups to the blood sharks.
There is nothing wrong with having a role similar to that of an auxiliary army in nature, but before that, when Gu Hang was talking to Ewing, he made it clear to him that the Alliance Army was the Alliance Army, and the two armies acted in conjunction with each other, not for them. Cannon fodder. Their past attitude of not treating mortals as human beings must be corrected.
Ewing agreed.
They have seen the combat effectiveness of the Alliance Army.
Now even if he was allowed to use the army as cannon fodder, he would not be willing to do so. This is the power planned for him. It is so elite, why is it like that? It's so easy to use. If everyone cooperates a little bit, the victory will be won. There is no need to mess around.
Of course, when necessary, you have to fight hard and make sacrifices.
Not to mention the Alliance Army, sometimes the Space Marines themselves are just higher-end consumables.
Of course, the construction of the auxiliary army costs money, but it is not the most expensive.
The most expensive thing is the chapter fleet.
Ships are too expensive.
In response, the Alliance formulated a fifteen-year shipbuilding plan for the Blood Shark. Although in the first few years, due to financial difficulties, only minor repairs were possible, in the future, a number of ships will be delivered continuously. The ultimate goal is to increase the strength of the Blood Shark Fleet by more than 70% in fifteen years.
Moreover, all the logistics and consumption that caused Blood Shark the most headaches in the past were all borne by the Alliance on Bao Yuan.
Ewing is satisfied with this.
And even the wildest blood shark is satisfied, let alone the Dragon King's Spear who is treated similarly but slightly worse.
