Upgrade Platoon Leader

1,000 grams, that's one kilogram!

These three gold bricks, that's three kilograms!

Three kilograms of gold, that also represents 3,000 funds!

You have to know, [Xiao Fan] upgrading to platoon leader only requires 2,000 funds!

Building a tank factory also costs 2,000 funds, which also means that [Xiao Fan] can choose to complete either one.

[Xiao Fan] had already decided, he won't build a tank factory for the time being, because tanks are undoubtedly very expensive, and he wouldn't have money to produce them even if he built it.

The most urgent task at hand is to upgrade to platoon leader as soon as possible. As long as he upgrades to platoon leader, he can continue to train soldiers.

Picking up the three gold bricks, [Annie]'s prompt tone came: "Valuable metal detected, convert to system funds immediately?"

"Convert!"

"Conversion completed, obtained 3,000 gold!"

As expected, the bank is still trustworthy, this is pure gold, and there is no shoddy work and material substitution.

With 3,000 funds in hand, [Xiao Fan] immediately chose to upgrade to platoon leader.

2,000 funds were deducted, and the platoon leader was upgraded instantly!

After the upgrade was completed, [Xiao Fan] immediately opened the soldier page, ready to produce new soldiers.

However, when he opened the system page, new soldier types appeared here!

Army infantryman, price 200.

[Engineer], price 800.

Seeing these two new Red Alert units, [Xiao Fan] immediately recalled the unit types in the game.

Army infantrymen are easy to understand, they are the main combat troops of the army. In the game, this unit is also the main force of the army.

Especially in [China] and [Three Star], the army infantrymen can even fight tanks, which shows how powerful they are.

Although this is probably impossible in reality, [Xiao Fan] believed that no matter when, this unit will be one of the main forces on the ground.

In many cases, they can undertake tasks that tanks and armored vehicles cannot undertake, and will never be eliminated.

And [engineers] are also one of the iconic units of Red Alert. This unit has little combat power, but is extremely useful.

Occupying enemy buildings, occupying oil wells, occupying airports, and even quickly repairing bridges.

[Engineers] in reality may have even more uses, they are absolutely indispensable.

But for now [Xiao Fan] had no use for engineers yet, the first soldiers he produced were five army infantrymen!

It takes ten minutes to produce five army infantrymen.

During this process, [Annie] prompted: "Commander, congratulations on your promotion to platoon leader, now please set the personnel number for a platoon."

"What does setting personnel mean?"

"Setting personnel means determining the upper limit of the number of troops. Once determined, the maximum number of people in a platoon will be the number you set. If you want to exceed this number, you will have to expand to a company."

[Xiao Fan] pondered briefly: "Are we on a ternary system?"

"Yes."

The so-called ternary system means that the upper-level combat unit commands three lower-level combat units. A platoon will have three squads.

[Xiao Fan]'s squad had eight people, so a platoon with three squads would be 24 people.

But [Xiao Fan] didn't want to set the personnel to 24. There may be some other units in the platoon, such as [engineers], scouts, and even more units to be unlocked in the future.

"Set personnel to 30 people."

"Confirmed, the personnel limit for a Red Alert combat platoon is 30 people, personnel setting complete!"

After the personnel setting was completed, [Xiao Fan] looked again at the new gift package that appeared in the system page, which was the platoon leader gift package.

Opening the package immediately revealed some new items.

[Platoon Leader's Uniform: A uniform made for the commander that can resist knife attacks and has excellent warmth. Note: When a new uniform appears, it will automatically replace the previous uniform.]

[Platoon Leader's Medical Kit: Automatically refreshes three doses of medicine for healing, three bandages, and three serums every day.]

[Platoon Leader's Sidearm: Domestically produced NP22 military pistol, the gun comes loaded with 9 rounds, effective range 50 meters. Note: When a new sidearm appears, the original one will be automatically recalled.]

[Platoon Leader's Vehicle: Domestically produced 212 military jeep, curb weight 1.4 tons, 100 horsepower, top speed 150 km/h, seats four. Note: The vehicle has been improved by the Red Alert system, enhancing comfort, horsepower and speed, and is equipped with a layer of bulletproof glass to provide the commander with a more comfortable and safe experience. Note: When a new vehicle appears, the original one will not be recalled and can continue to be used.]

Note: To upgrade from platoon leader to company commander, the commander's troops must reach full personnel, and 10,000 funds must be provided.

Looking at this series of introductions, [Xiao Fan] felt a surge in his chest.

He had finally been promoted to platoon leader after all, this was undoubtedly very different from the treatment of a squad leader.

New clothes that can even resist stabs, new guns with greatly increased power that can finally be used in combat.

There was also a new car. He knew this old 212 model, it was very sturdy and durable. He didn't expect that after the improvement, there was also bulletproof functionality.

And the troops under his command could now be increased to 30 people, this was like going from a shotgun to a cannon.

Looking downstairs, on the other side of the gas station, a brand new green 212 jeep was parked there. It was rare to see this kind of car now, but this one looked a little different, it felt more robust.

Touching the new gun at his waist again, [Xiao Fan] wanted to participate in combat right away.

Just as he was about to take the gun and shoot at zombies, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Army infantryman Bai Xiaochuan reporting to the commander!"

[Xiao Fan] turned around and saw a vigorous young man appearing behind him.

Different from infantrymen and scouts, this army infantryman was wearing a steel helmet on his head, camouflage uniform, without the burly physique of infantrymen or the assortment of equipment of scouts.

Apart from the kitbag, his only equipment was a light machine gun!

[Xiao Fan] immediately said, "Get ready to enter a combat position, and introduce yourself at the same time."

Bai Xiaochuan immediately ran to a window, while quickly saying, "Commander, army infantrymen have received strict military training. I use the domestically produced 95 light machine gun, the gun uses 5.8MM bullets, when I have no stars, I am equipped with a 30-round magazine and a 75-round drum magazine. It can fire in bursts or single shots, has an infrared sight, and a high rate of fire."

During his speech, he had already run to a window and mounted the machine gun.

[Xiao Fan]'s heart moved, and he issued another order: "Now go downstairs to the first floor and shoot that big zombie at the door for me!"
