Chapter 119 Da Mao: How much? How much is this?
As the head of the Mao army, Shaosigu's every move has attracted attention from all parties.

Naturally, he sent a delegation to the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory to purchase 2,000 tricycles, which was criticized by many people.

Even Commander Alexander convened a debate specifically for this matter.

Even the front-line commander Surolaf rushed back by plane.

Before the debate began, he blocked Shaosugu at the gate of the Parliament Building and dragged him into a small room.

"Davri, we have suffered heavy losses of troop carriers on the front line. In the past month alone, I have lost thirty BTR-80A troop carriers."

"Tell me, where are our reinforcements? There are not enough troops, personnel planning for the front line, and equipment transportation. Am I supposed to transport them with my mouth?" After Suralov sat down, he began to chatter and nag.

The BTR-80A troop carrier is an upgraded and improved version of the troop carrier designed and produced during the Soviet era.

The biggest feature of this car is that it is cheap, durable, and has a large storage capacity. It can be used by simply pulling it out of the parking lot during the Soviet era and making some minor modifications.

In this special operation, Ermao had a lot of advanced weapons supported by outside forces.

Among them, small drones are particularly lethal to this type of troop carrier.

After all, tanks have thick skin and tough flesh, while this type of troop carrier has thin skin and large fillings, making it the favorite target of small drones, no doubt about it.

Up to now, both sides have been fighting a pure battle of attrition. It just depends on who can hold on longer.

Although the BTR troop carrier is cheap, costing only $50 per unit, even Russia, with its wealth and power, clearly feels overwhelmed by the current situation.

But in actual combat.

The importance of troop carriers is no less than that of tanks.

The rapid mobility and material transportation of frontline soldiers, without troop carriers, would basically be equivalent to sitting ducks in a battlefield full of flying drones.

In current combat, the high mobility of soldiers has become increasingly important, and the importance of troop carriers has naturally been greatly enhanced.

One of the important reasons why Surolaf was willing to come back from the front line this time was to urge his troop carriers to arrive as soon as possible.

When Shao Sigu heard the complaint, he rubbed his brows with a headache and said, "I have purchased 2,000 troop carriers from Rabbit."

"It's just that this purchase was obstructed by some people in the Capitol. Surolaf, you are the commander on the front line."

"So I hope you can stand on my side in the debate later."

After listening to this, Surolaf nodded and agreed without thinking.

Although Shao Sigu had no combat experience, he was quite qualified as the head of the Russian military and even worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

He is definitely the top operations master in the field of budget allocation.

After all, the United States spends 800 billion U.S. dollars a year on its military, while Russia spends only 60 to 70 billion U.S. dollars a year on its military.

During the ten years that Shao Sigu has been in power, he has produced 400 third-generation fighter jets, more than 400 new tanks, and modified 1000 old tanks with a military budget of to billion yuan.

At the same time, 30 tons of ships were launched, a number equivalent to the total tonnage of the entire Gallic Navy.

He also completed military reforms, increased troop incomes, developed new equipment, and made some money for himself by taking care of the upper and lower levels.

This coordination ability is absolutely amazing no matter where or when.

At least this damn special operation has been fought to the point where both sides have reached the end of their rope, except for our side, which can still hold on, while the other side is almost at the point of being reduced to nothing.

"Why is there no news about the troop carrier transaction? What is its unit price?" Surolaf asked curiously.

Two thousand troop carriers, no matter where they are placed, is an enormous order and will surely make the news.

He was very curious, does Russia really have enough military funds to buy 2,000 troop carriers?
Shao Sigu took out all the information about the Warwick tricycle and said, "This is the troop carrier I purchased for the front line. The current estimated unit price is no more than 1500 US dollars."

"Ah? This..."

Surolaf looked at the tricycle and felt a little shocked at first. He then took a look at the performance data and fell silent.

The performance of this thing seems to fully match the needs of the front line. It has a small target, strong maneuverability, is not picky about roads, and has a good loading capacity.

With 40 rockets, recoilless guns, machine guns for the mine squad, and grenades at the back, it is entirely possible to achieve a quick attack and quick retreat.

"How much, how much do you think this thing costs?"

"Less than 1,500 US dollars per car!" Shaosugu emphasized again without getting tired of it.

Surolaf grinned and laughed, saying, "My dear Davari, two thousand are not enough. I need at least ten thousand."

"This thing is simply too cheap. Fifteen million US dollars, the price of a few main battle tanks, can greatly enhance the mobility of the front-line troops."

"It's worth it! It's worth it!"

Shao Sigu looked at the ecstatic Surolaf and said helplessly: "Ten thousand are too many. I will only buy two thousand."

"Those bastards in the Capitol started to obstruct it. Ten thousand cars. It's hard. It's really hard!"

"I will send those bastards to the front line later!" Surafo cursed angrily.

When the dialectic begins.

Soon, people from the Parliament House started challenging Shao Sigu regarding the purchase of the tricycle.

Although the details of the transaction are unclear, these people firmly believe that there must be some unknown shady dealings in this transaction.

Two thousand troop carriers, such a large-scale transaction, and no one got the slightest news about it, how is this possible?

"This troop carrier transaction must be stopped immediately!"

"You're going to buy two thousand troop carriers in such a hurry, Shao Sigu, how much kickbacks did you take from this?"

Before the questioner could finish his words, Surolaf looked at him with murderous eyes.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you obstructing the order and suspending the deal for the troop carrier?"

"Yes, it's me!"

"Sokabile, you bastard, I will definitely push you into the toilet and drown you with my own hands!"

"We're fighting and bleeding on the front line, and you dare to hold us back from behind?" After Surafo finished roaring, he took off his leather shoes and threw them at him angrily.

His leather shoes were very thick, with thick soles, and when he smashed them over, they were like a cannonball and hit the opponent right in the face.

The other party was caught off guard and was hit on the head, bleeding. He didn't react for a long time.

This scene also stunned everyone present.

Commander-in-Chief Alexander looked at the furious frontline commander and immediately tried to appease him. Then he looked at Shao Sigu and asked, "My dear Davari, what is going on with this order?"

Shaosgu was a loyal follower of Alexander and his most trusted confidant. He had strong personal abilities and was a very reliable person.

Today's dialectic is just Alexander's way of appeasing the opposition.

Shao Sigu then took out the information about the Warwick Agricultural Vehicle Factory and had people distribute it, saying innocently, "This troop carrier costs less than $1,500 and is worth less than $3 million. What kickbacks can you get?"

"My dear Davari, you must trust your comrades!"

The meeting room was completely silent, and everyone was shocked at this moment.

A troop carrier costing fifteen hundred dollars, this was beyond the limits of their imagination.
