Reincarnated with a Military System in Another World

Chapter 64: Shopping Time



When Vincent uttered the words 'Shopping Time' what he really meant was that it's time for him to fulfill his obligations, and start fortifying Akarios Island as in the next two days, he would have to go back to the continent and travel along with Eamon and his associates.

He browsed in the land units, and the first thing he went on was in transportation. Vincent realized that he had only a few units of logistical vehicles, making transportation of troops to a different location difficult. It was the first issue he noticed during the wave, and he wouldn't want it again.

The M-ATV Oshkosh was his preferred choice, but they were expensive so he opted for the suggestion General Harper made on the note. The M939 Trucks.

[M939 Truck: Cost 8,000 gold coins]

Vincent looked at his budget in his system.

[2,209,525 gold coins.]

Since Vincent planned on keeping 400 units of his soldiers and replacing those that perished in the wave, he estimated that a total of 40 M939 Trucks would be required to effectively transport his troops and equipment.

[Total Cost for M939 Trucks: 320,000 gold coins]

Next, Vincent browsed through tanks. Now, at this point, Vincent was at a loss regarding the performance of the Challenger Tank during the wave. Although it was effective, he believed that a highly-advanced tank would have made the job more efficient. Luckily for him, he had just unlocked one of the second iteration of Abrams tanks.

[Abrams M1A2 SEP v3: Cost 35,000 gold coins]

The Abrams tank was ten thousand more expensive than the Challenger Tank, but that's an investment Vincent was willing to make for superior performance.

He estimated that 10 Abrams tanks would provide a formidable defense force for the island.

[Total Cost for Abrams Tanks: 350,000 gold coins]

With 1,539,525 gold coins remaining, Vincent turned his attention to air support. He knew that having versatile aircraft capable of both transport and combat would be crucial for rapid response and mobility.

"This will do," Vincent said, closing his system shop and heaving a sigh of relief. It took him

about thirty minutes to browse all those military hardwares and now they are all in his inventory. He'd summon all of them in the next 24 hours.
