Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

These parts were transported to a special warehouse, and then Kong Hao transported them directly to the factory in Kangaroo Country through the space gate to assemble various industrial products.

Because our energy and raw materials are very cheap, coupled with low labor costs, while the technological content contained in the parts is at a leading level in Blue Star.

Moreover, there is actually no transportation cost, which makes the industrial products we produce very competitive. Now even the military of Kangaroo Country has come to us and purchased a large amount of military supplies from our factory.

After all, the current situation is becoming more and more tense. A fierce air battle is taking place between Niu Niu Country and Hans Country. A large number of various aircraft are shot down every day. Both sides are consuming their respective resources, which has also led to a surge in the prices of military supplies internationally.

On the other hand, the Kangaroo Country mainly sent a large number of infantry and naval vessels to assist the Bull Country in the battle, and the demand for strategic materials was also very large.

The Kangaroo Country has about 50 to 60 infantrymen, most of whom were expanded in the last one or two years and are in urgent need of a large amount of military supplies.

For example, they use the Mk2 helmet, which is the standard helmet of the United States, and one costs about two pounds.

Kong Hao optimized the relevant helmets through the system, making them more comfortable to wear. The steel used in the helmets is also much better than the local ones, and has stronger protection against shrapnel.

The most important thing is that we are cheap. The Kangaroo Country has a vast land and a sparse population. Many mines are far away from steel mills, and steel mills and mechanical processing plants are not in the same place, so the transportation cost on the road is not low.

Unlike our base, most things are within a radius of ten kilometers, and the nearest one is even across the street. After the two factories produce parts, they can be directly shipped over, saving time and effort, so that costs can be reduced to a minimum.

Moreover, most of our small-item transportation uses modified human-powered tricycles. Apart from the wages and meals of the transportation personnel, there are no other expenses.

So we can completely reduce the cost of a helmet to five dollars, and the corresponding exchange rate is one pound equals four dollars, and one dollar is about four or five dollars. In this way, one pound is equal to about 13 dollars, and two pounds is about twenty-six dollars.

This was the price before we went to war with the Japanese. The ratio is better now. After all, our war with the invaders turned out to be such a mess, and a large amount of territory was lost. The exchange rate of the pound on the black market is even higher, about 35.

After all, any national currency issued by a country must be supported by strong national strength, otherwise everything will become waste paper and be worthless.

Although the Niu Niu country is now on the decline, at least its foundation is still there, and the currency it issues can be used to buy anything in the world.

One helmet costs five taels of silver. Kong Hao bought it for fifteen taels of silver and sold it to the Kangaroo Country for 1.5 pounds, which is worth about 25 taels of silver.

The reason why he dared to do this was because his portable space was so amazing that the transportation cost was basically zero. Without this convenience, it would be impossible for our industry to develop in a short period of time.

But then again, if a helmet only sells for eight dollars as per normal circumstances, this business can actually be done.

The main reason is that selling tens or even millions of helmets will obviously benefit our industrial development. Only by obtaining a large amount of resources from the outside can we better invest in the research and development of more advanced technologies, so that our technology can always be in the leading position.

Of course, we would be happy to see it if we could sell it at a high price. Using these military supplies to exchange for a large amount of food would be an extremely cost-effective deal.

In addition, our industrial zone has developed a medical first aid kit based on battlefield needs, which contains tourniquets, sterile gauze, triangular bandages or roll bandages, alcohol cotton, antibacterial ointment, small scissors and safety pins, etc.

Of course, the most important thing in the first aid kit is two sulfa tablets. If a soldier is injured on the battlefield, he can use this first aid kit for battlefield treatment, greatly increasing his chances of survival.

Once this first aid kit was successfully developed, it immediately received high praise from frontline commanders and soldiers. In particular, the researchers thoughtfully equipped the first aid kit with an illustrated instruction manual, which allowed soldiers who could not read to quickly learn some battlefield first aid knowledge and perform self-treatment when injured.

After this simple treatment on the battlefield, many seriously injured soldiers can wait for the stretcher team to carry them to the rear hospital for surgery, and their chances of survival will be greatly increased.

You know, in an army, soldiers who have been injured and recovered and returned to the team are treasures. The more people of this level, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops.

And those veterans who were seriously injured but survived are the most precious of treasures. These elite soldiers will become the cornerstone of a unit's stable combat effectiveness.

However, this kind of first aid kit is very expensive. The whole set costs at least twenty dollars. We now have a class equipped with three first aid kits at most, which is basically enough for the time being.

In fact, our army's medical treatment system has become increasingly perfect. We can produce all kinds of medical equipment by ourselves, and even the output of the most important penicillin drug has increased significantly. This is extremely important for an army.

Kong Hao shipped this first aid kit to Kangaroo Country and sold it for ten pounds a set. He was not too unscrupulous. When he first provided it in small quantities, it was immediately warmly welcomed by the grassroots soldiers of Kangaroo Country.

Everyone wants a set of this kind of thing that can save lives on the battlefield. After all, guns and cannons have no eyes, and no one can guarantee that they will not be injured after going to the battlefield. If you can be equipped with a set of such first aid kits, the probability of survival will increase significantly.

Although ten pounds for a set is a bit expensive, it is nothing compared to a soldier's life.

After trying it out for a period of time, the top military officials in Kangaroo Country felt that this first aid kit was a very necessary military supply, and that its large-scale deployment would greatly boost the morale of the troops, which indirectly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

So they sent purchasing staff to negotiate with Kong Hao, wanting to buy in large quantities and at a preferential price.

After much debate, 50,000 sets were purchased at a price of eight pounds per set, with a total value of four hundred thousand pounds.

Kong Hao was very satisfied with the price, which was almost seven times the profit. By this calculation, our army could get 350,000 first aid kits for free. It was basically equivalent to that the people of Kangaroo Country helped us build a medical system without spending any money.
