The end of the military era

After the military meeting was over, Zhou Xiaorong dragged Zhou Rui to the office.

"Xiao Rui, if you follow your expansion plan for the four infantry regiments, our garrison brigade will have to recruit at least [-] soldiers, not counting the coastal defense fleet.

According to the usual practice, every soldier who joins the army will be given 100 silver coins for settlement, and 90 soldiers will need [-] silver coins for settlement.

And to buy weapons and equipment for 9000 people, plus you have to set up an artillery battalion for each infantry regiment, maybe 300 million silver coins will not be enough.

In the future, our garrison brigade's monthly military expenditure will more than triple. "

"Second uncle, money is not a problem!

By the way, have the 2.4 silver bricks been brought back to the military port? "

"It was pulled back overnight last night and placed in the underground warehouse of the brigade headquarters building."

"Second uncle, you can mobilize troops and horses. I still have 1.6 silver bricks weighing 50 jin in that small courtyard, which is enough for expanding the army."

"Huh? There are 1.6 silver bricks?"

"In addition, I have also purchased 1 new-style repeating rifles and 6000 million rounds of matching bullets through special channels, which should be arriving soon in the last few days."

"What? You've bought 1 repeating rifles and 6000 million rounds of ammunition?"

"Second Uncle, you have to learn to adapt, there will be more and more surprises in the future!"

Not long after the military meeting held by Zhou Rui ended, the expansion plan of the garrison brigade formulated by Zhou Rui, as well as the performance parameters of the snowstorm-class all-steel battleship and the two ice knife-class armored cruisers, had already been placed in Ganyang On the desk of Cui Hong, the head of the Cui family.

Although Cui Hong is over half a hundred years old, he still has a refined temperament, which shows that when he was young, he was absolutely romantic and suave.

At that time, Cui Hong was the most powerful suitor of Zhou Rui's mother Wen Yu by virtue of his family background, talent, learning and appearance, but it was Zhou Rui's father Zhou Xiaozheng who caught the beauty in the end.

"Tao, what do you think of the Zhou family's purchase of three warships and expansion of four infantry regiments?" Cui Hong frowned and asked his eldest son Cui Tao.

Cui Tao is 26 years old this year. He inherited his parents' looks and is extremely handsome.

Moreover, Cui Tao is regarded as a martial artist, not only graduated from the most famous military command academy in the Golden Lion Empire, but also a high-level warrior, and was even dubbed "the first son of Ganyang City".

Cui Tao can be said to be the representative of the young talents in Ganyang City, while the former Zhou Rui can only be regarded as an ordinary member of the dudes in Ganyang City.

Comparing two people, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

Now Cui Tao has taken over as the brigade commander of the Fengwu Army's third independent brigade, and is recognized by the Cui family in Ganyang as the next heir to the head of the family.

"Father, at least tens of millions of silver coins are needed to buy the three warships of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, and this expansion plan also requires several million silver coins. How could the Zhou family have so much money?" Cui Tao said with a puzzled face.

"My father also feels a little strange about this matter, even our Cui family can't come up with tens of millions of silver coins in cash.

Alas, if the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet adds an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers, and the Zhou family's garrison brigade has four reinforced regiments with a strength of 3000 people, then our Cui family will not be able to eat the Zhou family. easy. "

"Father, tomorrow morning, I will take people to the military port. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe that a family that has only risen for less than 20 years can buy three warships worth tens of millions of silver coins!"

"Then you go and have a look! By the way, Zhenwei Town is almost overwhelmed. The three infantry regiments that our Cui family participated in this time should be able to return to Ganyang City soon.

Although the losses of these three infantry regiments are not large, we can also take advantage of the opportunity to replenish these three infantry regiments and recruit more recruits.

Since the Zhou family can expand and create four reinforcement groups privately, then our Cui family can also organize several reinforcement groups! "

Cui Tao's eyes brightened, "Father is wise, the current domestic and foreign situations are becoming more and more turbulent.

Our Cui family really needs to control some troops in order to cope with possible changes. "

On the afternoon of June 6, Zhou Rui first went to the small courtyard in the west of the city, extracted 3 yuan from the lottery system, and then hurried back to the military port of Ganyang City.

In the future, Zhou Rui will inevitably extract a lot of things from the lottery system to the real world, and the small courtyard in the west of the city is not only small in size, but also located in a busy city, so it is not suitable as a place to extract system items.

Zhou Rui discovered that at the wharf of the Ganyang City Military Port, there are three material warehouses for the Coastal Defense Fleet, which are large in size and remote in location, making them very suitable as a place to extract system items.

So Zhou Rui ordered the coastal defense fleet to empty the three material warehouses, and asked Li Dongbao to lead the fourth company of the guard battalion to put barbed wire around the three material warehouses.

The main task of the fourth company of the guard battalion is to guard these three material warehouses. Except for Zhou Rui, no one is allowed to enter these three material warehouses without Zhou Rui's order.

When Zhou Rui returned to the military port, the three material warehouses had been emptied by the officers and soldiers of the coastal defense fleet, and the barbed wire fences around the three material warehouses were also pulled up.

Seeing Zhou Rui approaching, Li Dongbao hurried up to meet him, "Major General, everything here has been covered with barbed wire according to your request."

Zhou Rui nodded in satisfaction, "Huabao, in the future, Silian must guard these three material warehouses for me. Many weapons and equipment of our garrison brigade will be transported to these three material warehouses through secret passages in the future." .”

"Ah? There are secret passages in these three material warehouses?"

"It is because of the secret passage that I chose this place, so the defense here must be raised to the highest level!

In addition, it must be emphasized that without my order, no one from the fourth company is allowed to enter any material warehouse, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!

By the way, try not to let too many people know about secret ways! "

Of course there is no secret way. What Zhou Rui said was just an explanation to the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion guarding the three material warehouses, so as not to cause panic.

Just like the 1 German Mauser 98k rifles and the supporting 6000 million rounds of ammunition that Zhou Rui is going to take out, they cannot appear in the material warehouse out of thin air. After all, the officers and soldiers of these guard battalions will always guard outside the three material warehouses .

Chapter 10 Eliminate the inner ghost

On the evening of June 6rd, just as Zhou Rui entered the gate of the Zhou Mansion, the butler Zhou Fu stepped forward, "Young Master, Master asked you to go there."

Zhou Rui walked into the bedroom where his father Zhou Xiaozheng lived, and found that his second uncle Zhou Xiaorong was also here.

"Second Uncle, you're here too."

Zhou Xiaorong's face was a bit ugly at this time, "Young General, thanks to your reminder, otherwise our Zhou family will suffer a lot in the future."

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Second Uncle, have you found any evidence that Maitreya Buddha colluded with the Cui family?"

Zhou Xiaorong gritted his teeth and said: "We just finished the military meeting in the morning, and Jia An told the Cui family all about the performance parameters of the three warships purchased by our Zhou family and the expansion of the four infantry regiments!"

At this time, Zhou Xiaozheng who was lying on the bed sighed, "I never thought that my old brother who has been with me for more than ten years would betray me at this moment.

Tie Zhu, bring Jia An in! "

Tie Zhu is a strong man standing in the bedroom at this time, his full name is Ma Tie Zhu, and he is the battalion commander of the guard battalion of Ganyang City's garrison brigade.

Ma Tiezhu is a high-level warrior, loyal to the Zhou family, when Zhou Xiaozheng led his troops to break through, after he was seriously injured, it was Ma Tiezhu who carried Zhou Xiaozheng on his back and fought to the death to break out of the encirclement.

In the entire Zhou family, apart from Zhou Rui's late elder brother Zhou Kang, Ma Tiezhu was the most promising person to be promoted to grandmaster.

It's a pity that in the last life, with the demise of the Zhou family, Ma Tiezhu also died in battle in Ganyang City.

In the era of cold weapons in this world, there has been a mature system of warriors since ancient times. From low to high, they are divided into low-level warriors, intermediate warriors, high-level warriors, grandmasters, great masters, and legendary grandmasters.

When a martial artist becomes a master, he will have extraordinary strength, and a punch can even hit ten thousand catties of impact.
