From the accounting point of view, there are direct costs and indirect costs.
Direct cost. In other words, it is the money directly spelled out on the battlefield.

The money spent on weapons accounts for more than half of the direct cost. Many close friends mentioned the high cost of weapons, but they didn't understand why. The battlefield environment is far worse than the peaceful environment, and the reliability of weapons and equipment is much higher than that of ordinary industrial equipment, with high material grade, high gold content in science and technology and high research and development expenses.
Also equipped with crawler, tanks of the same size are far more expensive than tractors. First, the steel grade used for armor, suspension and crawler of tanks is much higher than that of tractors. Secondly, tanks have to carry a lot of electronic equipment and weapons and ammunition, and the oil used is incomparable to tractors. Even if a lot of things used in tanks are dismantled and pulled directly to cultivated land, they are at least ten times more resistant to operation than tractors. The demand of the battlefield gave birth to the high demand of technical materials, which is equal to the high consumption of development expenses.

Although we don't fight an unprepared war, one of the characteristics of war is that it will never follow the pre-war plan. On the battlefield with bad conditions, any kind of loss can happen. The weapons and ammunition produced at ordinary times are definitely not enough (the usual strategic reserve is a kind of advance), and it will cost more to start the production line after consuming the original reserve. Therefore, the U.S. military has been maintaining small-scale production of fighters and warships to maintain the operation of the production line and level the full-cycle cost.

The history of war is basically the history of weapons development. R&D is not a once-and-for-all thing. The consumption of war will not stop at the consumption of quantity. If quantity is put behind, we will definitely strive for quality and expand the exchange ratio between ourselves and the enemy by improving quality. After the American imperialists finished F-86, they also finished F-4, F-/KOOC-0/4, F-/KOOC-0/5, F-/KOOC-0/6, and the Russians finished MIG/KOOC-0/5 and MIG/KOOC-0/7.
The most obvious way to promote the escalation of wars is the long-lasting, large-scale and wide-ranging wars like World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War. The performance of weapons has been tested for a long time, and the requirement of upgrading is urgent. Modern warfare is characterized by short duration and relatively small scale, and there will be no obvious weapon upgrade. After upgrading, it is necessary to increase the output to the scale that can replace the old equipment in time as soon as possible, and the money will burn endlessly.

Conscription salary. Different levels of officers and men are different. Military school. Disposal of retired soldiers (schooling, employment, etc.). ).
Indirect costs. The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pool. Once the war begins, no one will be spared. Everyone is paying for the war.
1. The cost of disrupting the daily economic order.

(2) The elements that create economic value-labor, raw materials and capital-are dragged to the war activities that consume value. It's a small matter that no one has started production. If people come back after the war, it is certainly a good thing. What if people die? Recruiting the working-age workforce is not easy. War often profoundly changes a country's population composition and fertility concept. In ancient times, "we already know that it is unlucky to have a son, and it is much better to have a daughter ... who can get married and live in a neighbor's house, while we bury our boy under the grass? The" heroic mother "that appeared in the Soviet Union after World War II is the best example.

Land, sea and air transport will definitely be occupied. Want to travel during the war? Think too much. The blood bank of the hospital should be transferred to the front line first to launch blood donation. The school is closed. Who can say it's a good thing? It has slowed down the process of personnel training, and it is the same reason to fight with the front line, but the copper skin in the rear can't be supplied.
3. The price of diplomatic tension.
Where the method of fighting is used, a thousand cars gallop, a thousand cars ride, a hundred thousand armor belts, and a thousand miles feed. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the gift of car armor, thousands of dollars a day, and then hundreds of thousands of teachers to carry. -The Art of War was explained by an old man thousands of years ago.

We all went through a terrible World War I and World War II. If we can talk about it, we can talk about it. If we can't fight, we won't fight. It is precisely because the consumption of war is so great that the knowledge of major rogue countries in the world is to avoid wars as much as possible, especially wars between big powers; Inevitably, the scale and time of war should be as small as possible. It is best to start with a big gap in strength and crush it directly. Old Einstein also said that in World War III, people would fight with sticks and stones. Nobody wants this.
