The end of the military era

Soon the identities of the five werewolves were found out, and they were all active soldiers of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

To the dismay of the senior executives in Fragrant Stone City, one of the werewolves killed was actually the nephew of Longela, commander of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

To make matters worse, the incident happened in a riot, and it is very likely that other werewolves witnessed the whole incident, and it is impossible to block the news.

The senior officials of Xiangshi City knew that the matter was serious, and immediately reported it to Ganyang City.

Zhou Rui learned that the nephew of Longla, the commander of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, died in Xiangshi City, and was beaten to death by soldiers from the city defense battalion.

Immediately telegram Ma Tiezhu, commander of the No.20 Second Independent Brigade in Jingsheng City, to order Ma Tiezhu to conscript all civilian ships in Jingsheng Port, and must lead the two infantry regiments of the No.20 Second Independent Brigade in the shortest possible time He and the brigade guard battalion rushed to Xiangshi Island.

At this time on Xiangshi Island, the Zhou family's army had only one infantry regiment of the No. 20 Second Independent Brigade, and the newly established Xiangshi City Defense Battalion.

In Jingsheng City, in addition to the No.20 Second Independent Brigade, the [-]st Garrison Infantry Brigade of the garrison division has also entered Jingsheng City.

At the same time, Zhou Rui also ordered the two all-steel battleships Jinghai and Longhai in the first formation of the coastal defense fleet stationed in Jingsheng Port, and the four iron-clad battleships Zhenjia, Zhenyi and Zhenc in the fourth formation. Hezhen Ding, escorting the 20 infantry regiments and the brigade-affiliated guard battalion of the No.2 Second Independent Brigade to Hong Kong.

Subsequently, these 6 battleships, together with the 8 warships stationed in Xiangshi Port, will cooperate with the No.20 Second Independent Brigade to guard the entire Xiangshi Island.

However, Jingsheng City's reinforcements were intercepted by several warships from the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy in the waters near Xiangshi Port, and they had no choice but to retreat.

Xiangshi Hong Kong has been completely blocked by the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

Zhou Xiaorong hesitated for a moment and said: "Major General, it is best to resolve this matter peacefully, after all, we are not only facing the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, but also the Silver Wolf Empire behind them.

Once there is a real fight, the consequences could be very serious. "

As soon as Zhou Xiaorong finished speaking, Wang Biao, the brigade commander of the second infantry brigade of the garrison division, said loudly: "Young general, our Zhou family can't admit cowardice!

The soldiers of the Xiangshi City Defense Battalion were not at fault, and they must not be handed over! "

Liu Mo, the brigade commander of the [-]rd Infantry Brigade of the Garrison Division, immediately said: "Major General, whether we fight or not, our Zhou family's attitude must not be soft. This matter has already made the headlines of newspapers everywhere.

If our Zhou family is submissive, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to our Zhou family's reputation. "

After that, several high-level officers of the Zhou family's navy and army also expressed their attitudes and opposed the handing over of the soldiers from the Xiangshi City Defense Battalion.

Zhou Rui waved his hand, and the conference room became quiet again.

Zhou Rui asked Song Limin in a deep voice, "Old Song, what do you think?"

Song Limin said with a wry smile: "Major General, although the strength of the coastal defense fleet appears to be very strong on paper, the number of recruits on many warships is even as high as [-]%.

The Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy is quite strong, with more than 100 warships, including seven full main gun battleships and twelve all steel battleships.

If we really want to fight, I really don't have any confidence in my heart.

But as long as the major general gives the order, all the officers and soldiers of our coastal defense fleet will fight to the end! "

Zhou Rui then asked Zhou Xiaorong again: "Second Uncle, do you think this matter can be resolved peacefully?"

Zhou Xiaorong smiled wryly and said: "Although intellectually, I think our Zhou family should endure the humiliation, but emotionally, I would rather die on the battlefield than hand over our Zhou family's soldiers."

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, then stood up slowly, looked around the dozens of officers in the meeting room, and then said loudly: "Now the headlines on the front pages of newspapers in various parts of the Han and Tang Empire are all about the number three of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy. Fleet soldiers encircling Xiangshi Island report.

It can be said that hundreds of millions of people in the Han and Tang Empires are all concerned about whether our Zhou family will bow down to the Silver Wolf Empire?

To be honest, thinking of fighting the Silver Wolf Empire makes my calves tremble.

But I was afraid that the problem would not be solved, so our Zhou family backed down this time, so what about next time?

This time we pay people to lose money, next time if the Silver Wolf Empire wants Xiangshi Island, will the Zhou family give it or not?

So man, I ain't gonna hand it in!

Money, I won't pay a single copper!

If the Silver Wolf Empire wants to fight!The Ganyang Zhou family will accompany you to the end! "

Chapter 94 Armed Parade at Sea

On the night of January 1rd, in a study room of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Xiaozheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sighed and said, "I never thought that our Zhou family would face the Silver Wolf Empire directly one day."

Zhou Rui said helplessly: "Father, I don't want to confront the Silver Wolf Empire now, after all, the expansion of several army units and coastal defense fleets has just been completed.

But once our Zhou family backs down this time, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but our Zhou family will have to be stabbed in the back by hundreds of millions of Han and Tang Empire people. "

Of course Zhou Rui was unwilling to fight against the orc nation prematurely. If it wasn't for the fact that the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy was too strong, forcing the Zhou family to have no way out, Zhou Rui would even rather spend money to eliminate disasters.

It's a pity that the top management of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy ignored the goodwill released by the Zhou family before, and insisted on demanding that the Zhou family must meet all their requirements.

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed and said, "Son, you are right!

Our Zhou family would rather die standing than live kneeling!

The dream of your father and me is to lead the army one day and have a good fight with the orcs, so that those orcs with animal heads understand what is the majestic Han and Tang!What is Jagged Han Tang!

It's a pity... son, dad supports you, even if because of this incident, the Zhou family in Ganyang will be wiped out in smoke, our father and son will have face when we meet our ancestors! "

Hearing what his father Zhou Xiaozheng said, Zhou Rui said comfortingly: "Father, don't worry, even if the worst happens, our Zhou family will not be wiped out.

Big deal, if our Zhou family retreats to Longshan City, I don't believe that the Silver Wolf Empire will send troops to chase them all the way to Longshan City! "

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded. The Zhou family in Ganyang now has a different background than it did half a year ago. In Longshan City, which is more than 1000 kilometers away, the Zhou family still has two brigades of troops.

"Xiao Rui, now that Xiangshi Island has been surrounded by the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, what are your plans next?"

"Father, although the coastal defense fleet already has 6 battleships with full main guns and 8 battlecruisers with firepower comparable to battleships with full main guns.

However, if the Coastal Defense Fleet were to face the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy head-on, the Coastal Defense Fleet's chances of winning were not great. After all, there were too many new recruits, and it was impossible for these warships to exert their due combat effectiveness.

So I hope that I can defeat others without fighting, and prepare for an armed parade at sea.

Of course, if the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy still wants to fight, the Coastal Defense Fleet will not be afraid. "

"Xiao Rui, dad has always been curious, where did you get those 6 battleships with full main guns and 8 battlecruisers?"

"Hey, Dad, there are some secrets, if you tell them, it won't be called a secret."

"You brat, if it weren't for your father, I wouldn't be able to stand up, I would have kicked you twice, and you even kept it from me.

By the way, Xiangshi Island has to be prepared. I am worried that the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy will launch an attack on Xiangshi Island before your sea parade. "

"I have ordered the No.20 Second Independent Brigade and the Third Infantry Regiment to build fortifications on Xiangshi Island to prevent the troops of the Silver Wolf Empire from launching a landing operation.

The Coastal Defense Fleet has already started to fully mobilize. The eighth, fifth, and seventh formations of Crescent Island, as well as some warships from Ganyang Naval Port and Jingsheng Port, will all assemble within two days and head to Xiangshi. island. "

The six French Corbet-class battleships extracted from the lottery system were named Longjiang, Longwu, Longlin, Longsheng, Longrui and Longyin respectively, and were organized into the eighth formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet .
