Faced with his own threats, Li Hao had no intention of relenting.
Instead, he stared at himself, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked in a mocking tone: "General Zhou, you seem to have missed something."
"Twenty thousand recruits go to the battlefield and pan for gold. It is true that four to five thousand veterans can be trained. But you can't just ignore those recruits who died or were disabled in the battle. The pensions and compensation that should be given should not exceed an ocean.
Less!"
"If you add up these pensions, the cost for you to train 5,000 veterans will be at least 2 million oceans, and it will also take several months more."
"As for the five hundred officers, the price is even higher. The average price per person may be more than a thousand oceans."
"this……"
The major general was blinded and his mouth was open, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Li Hao decided to pursue the victory and continued: "Since General Zhou doesn't know much about the army, let me calculate with you how much it costs to train a qualified veteran starting from new recruits."
"New recruits are recruited and trained for at least three months before they can participate in combat. After two or three baptisms of fire, they can grow from recruits to veterans. If you are lucky, you can be directly promoted to squad leader. This process takes another three months."
"General Zhou, you just said that people will die in war."
"When new recruits go to the battlefield for the first time, if there are not enough veterans to take them with them, the normal elimination rate is more than 30%."
"After three consecutive battles, usually only one veteran will emerge from the three recruits, and the remaining two recruits will either die or be injured and lose their combat effectiveness."
"This means that you have to recruit three new recruits at once to train a veteran in half a year."
"This is still the most ideal state. If the battlefield is cruel enough and some troops are wiped out in their organized form or surrender to the Japs, four new recruits may not produce a veteran. General Zhou doesn't deny this!"
Seeing that everyone on the other side had expressions of approval, Li Hao continued.
"We will calculate based on the ideal situation, which is three recruits."
"You recruit three new soldiers, and the settlement fee is a hundred dollars."
"A soldier's monthly salary, meals, and ammunition for training all add up to ten oceans. I think the real figure should be more than ten oceans."
"Excluding the time it takes for someone to die in battle, the total cost of three soldiers in half a year is at least 150 yuan."
"After two recruits are killed or injured in battle, the pension and various compensations will cost another 200 yuan, which adds up to 350 yuan."
"This is just the cost of training an ordinary veteran."
"If a veteran wants to grow into a platoon leader, it will take at least half a year of training and consumption. There is also a high elimination rate during this period."
"According to the calculation just now, if you want to train a platoon leader, the cost of a thousand yuan will definitely be indispensable."
"If nothing else, the cost of a company commander is at least 3,000 yuan."
"As for the battalion commander, there are more, and they must all be upwards of 10,000."
"Calculating this, if you want to train a cadre of 4,000 veterans, you will need at least 1.4 million oceans."
"Five hundred officers, despite being a small number of people, will cost a lot of money. They will definitely cost seven to eight million yuan."
"More importantly, you still need to spend a lot of time."
"Ordinary veterans need half a year, and officers above the platoon need at least one year."
"And I only ask you for one million oceans, and I also save you a lot of waiting time. You make everything."
"Does General Zhou still think that I am talking nonsense?"
Facing Li Hao's analysis, the major general was stunned and wanted to refute all these analyses.
But after racking his brains, he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Looking at the subordinates behind him, they all frowned and looked helpless.
After a full five minutes of silence, the major general spoke: "Captain Li, your asking price is too high. I must report it to Commander Yan. Only Commander Yan has the final say on this price."
"No problem, you can use the radio to report now, I'm not in a hurry." Li Hao did not refuse.
Seeing the Jinsui Army negotiators all leaving the conference room with frowns, Wang Hong became worried: "Captain, our asking price must have exceeded the Jinsui Army's expectations, and it exceeded by a lot, otherwise these people's reaction would not have been the same.
It's such a big company, and they didn't bargain with us and just left and reported to their superiors."
"Do you think they'll agree to the price?"
"This is one million yuan. On average, each person has more than two hundred yuan."
"It's too much for me to decide, let alone the Jinsui Army."
Li Hao did not answer directly, but asked with confidence: "Political Commissar, please tell me first, whether the analysis just now makes sense, and whether it costs so much to train a veteran!"
Wang Hong nodded and replied: "It makes sense, and the cost is only a lot more. The Jinsui Army has a better casualty rate on the battlefield. In many large-scale battles, their troops were wiped out in their entirety, or surrendered to the Japs."
"That's no problem." Li Hao replied.
"Chief Yan is a businessman, and what he is best at is settling accounts."
"Giving us one million oceans will not only save them money, but also save them time. They will definitely choose to trade with us."
"But they will definitely not be willing to be led by our noses, and they will definitely come up with something to force us to lower the price."
"So we must be fully prepared. The troops will come to cover up the water and the earth, and we will bite the ocean with a million dollars and not let go."
"Anyway, the food of these people has been taken care of by the Jinsui Army. The longer the negotiation is delayed, the better it is for us."
Wang Hong frowned and asked: "What the hell, Captain, have you already thought of something?"
Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a thoughtful look on his face: "Captain, is this what you are asking me to prepare?"
Wang Hong also reacted, looked at Li Hao and asked: "The identities of these more than 4,000 Jinsui troops?"
Li Hao nodded and replied: "It's very possible."
"It is not ruled out that the Jinsui Army will make a fuss about their identities."
"I asked you to prepare everything as soon as possible."
"It's best if nothing goes wrong in the following negotiations. If something unexpected happens, we'd better be prepared."
Hong Linfeng quickly replied: "Don't worry, captain, all the relevant evidence is ready."
"The little devils have planned this siege in advance. In order to maximize the results, they bought and installed a lot of internal agents in advance. There are also several officers inside. Now we have captured them all. We have all the witnesses and material evidence. It will definitely not happen.
has a problem."
