The end of the military era

On the afternoon of March 3, in a study room in the Cui Mansion in Ganyang City, Cui Hong, the patriarch of the Cui family, said in a deep voice to Chen Xian, the patriarch of the Chen family: "Brother Chen, some of our recent actions in Ganyang City, All must be stopped.

Our Cui family has received news that the gunpowder between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire is getting stronger and stronger. If not, these two orc nations may fight.

Coupled with this sea battle on Shark Island, I am worried that the Silver Wolf Empire will calm down. "

Chen Xian frowned and said, "Is it possible that the Silver Wolf Empire will give in? That's the Silver Wolf Empire!"

"Don't forget the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, even if five battleships with full main guns were sunk in the sea battle of Shark Island, they still have 5 battleships with full main guns.

With such a large number of battleships with full main guns, they are no longer the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, and they can be destroyed if they are said to be destroyed.

What's more, the Silver Wolf Empire also has to consider that if its navy loses too much, the Flying Leopard Empire's navy can take advantage of it. "

The Silver Wolf Empire did not announce to the outside world that the coastal defense fleet had battlecruisers, so the outside world believed that the coastal defense fleet dispatched 25 battleships with full main guns during the Battle of Shark Island.

Chen Xian said with a wry smile: "The Zhou family is really weird. Where did the battleships with full main guns in the Shark Island naval battle come from?"

Cui Hong sighed, "No matter where the Zhou family got those all-main-gun battleships, it's terrible news for you and me."

As soon as Cui Hong finished speaking, the door of the study was suddenly opened, and Cui Tao walked in with a telegram, "Father, just got the news that the Zhou family captured Huitong City and Yiguang City!"

Cui Hong was taken aback for a moment, then snatched the telegram from Cui Tao's hand, and after reading it quickly, he said to Chen Xian a little lonely: "Brother Chen, the Zhou family is no longer something we can compete with. It's better for you and my family to make plans early!"

Zhao Yan, who was on the way, also learned the news that the coastal defense fleet had won the naval battle on Shark Island.

"Sister Dan, do you think this is possible?" Zhao Yan asked assistant Zou Dan in disbelief.

Zou Dan put down the newspaper in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, since it's all on the front page of the newspaper, it shouldn't be a fake."

"But how could the Zhou family have so many battleships with full main guns? The Zhou family is just a local family!

In order to increase the strength of the coastal defense fleet, Zhou Rui even bought some armored battleships eliminated by the Silver Wolf Empire Navy at a high price.

With so many battleships with full main guns, why pay high prices for those junks? "

Zou Dan shook his head, "Miss, even if you don't know, I don't even know.

However, after the naval battle on Shark Island, it was no longer so easy for the Silver Wolf Empire to destroy the Zhou family. "

"Yes! Even if some warships were lost in the sea battle on Shark Island, the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet still has 20 battleships with full main guns. Maybe the Zhou family can create a miracle when facing the Silver Wolf Empire this time."

"Miss, shall we continue to the Heavenly Holy City?"

Zhao Yan shook her head, "Even if we go back now, it's impossible for Zhou Rui and I to go back to the past.

What's more, whether the Zhou family can survive this hurdle ultimately depends on the choice of the Silver Wolf Empire.

If the Silver Wolf Empire insisted on destroying the Zhou family, it would be impossible to protect the Zhou family through this crisis with only 20 battleships with full main guns.

Let's continue on our way, let's go back to Heavenly Holy City first. "

To be honest, Zhao Yan even felt a little disappointed in her heart because Zhou's coastal defense fleet won the naval battle on Shark Island.

Did I make the wrong choice?

Chapter 126 Armistice Conditions

On the evening of March 3, in the Zhou family’s army’s position on Xiangshi Island, Liu Erga was wiping an MG6 general-purpose machine gun while he said to Xie Dong: “Battalion Commander, why haven’t the wolves made any movement these two days.

Since our reinforced battalion entered this position in rotation, the wolf tribe has not even launched an attack. "

Xie Dong took a cigarette, put it under his nose, sniffed it vigorously, and then carefully put the cigarette back into the empty cigarette case, "Isn't it better not to attack?"

"It's also strange. Once the wolf tribe stopped attacking, I always feel uneasy in my heart."

After a pause, Liu Erga looked at the cigarette case in Xie Dong's hand and said, "Commander, if you don't smoke that cigarette, why don't you give it to me!"

"Get out! This is the last one I have in stock, and I can't bear to smoke it."

Xie Dong immediately put the cigarette case into the jacket pocket of the military uniform inside the leather armor, and then said to Liu Erga: "If the wolves don't attack, we can't relax our vigilance.

After a while, the two of us will go to inspect again. Although our reinforced battalion can be called strong and strong, there are too many recruits, so don't make any mistakes.

Especially at night, we must guard against the sneak attack of the werewolves! "

With Xie Dong as the battalion commander and Liu Erga as the deputy battalion commander, the special strengthened battalion of the First Infantry Regiment of the Xiangshi Garrison Brigade has more than 600 officers and soldiers. The configuration of light and heavy machine guns even exceeds the two standard infantry of the Zhou family army camp.

However, among the more than 600 officers and soldiers in the reinforced battalion, more than 500 were recruits from the civilian population of Xiangshi Island, and the number of veterans was only about 120.

"Battalion Commander, didn't our Zhou family's coastal defense fleet just win a big victory? Do you think the wolf tribe is going to run away?"

"I feel bad enough, after all, the third fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy is the weakest of the three major fleets of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

Moreover, after the sea battle on Shark Island, the strength of the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy still exists. It is not so easy to make the Silver Wolf Empire subdued. "

At this time, on the opposite side of Zhou's army's position, No.14 Army Commander Bullitt has been observing Zhou's army's position with a telescope.

Standing next to Bullitt, Prato, deputy commander of the No.14 Army, hesitated and said, "Commander, why don't we try to attack again?"

Bullitt put down the binoculars slowly, and shook his head, "Since we have received the order from the Ministry of War, organizing an attack is to disobey the military order.

What's more, according to the combat effectiveness of this human army, it is impossible for our No.14 Army to defeat them. "

It turned out that Bullitt had received a telegram from the Army Department of the Silver Wolf Empire that "stop attacking and stand by." If it wasn't for the Army Department of the Silver Wolf Empire, who would have considered putting pressure on the Zhou family at the negotiating table, maybe Bullitt The order to evacuate Xiangshi Island has been received.

The deputy commander, Prato, said somewhat unwillingly: "I didn't expect that our No.14 Army would suffer a loss in the hands of a human army.

This will become an indelible stain on our No.14 Army! "

Bullitt put his hand on Prato's shoulder, "Remember this human army, sooner or later, our No.14 Army will get back this face!

I promise! "

On the morning of March 3th, Hu Yi took a telegram and said to Zhou Rui: "Major General, this is the three-point truce condition proposed by the Silver Wolf Empire from Ganyang City.

However, the conditions for these three truces are very harsh, which means extortionate prices. "

Zhou Rui took the telegram and saw that the first truce condition proposed by the Silver Wolf Empire was to ask the Zhou family in Ganyang to cede Xiangshi Island to the Silver Wolf Empire.

The second armistice condition is to ask the Ganyang Zhou family to compensate the losses of the Silver Wolf Empire's navy and army, totaling 15 billion silver coins.

The third armistice condition is to ask the Ganyang Zhou family to compensate the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire for the existing 20 full-armor battleships or battlecruisers in the coastal defense fleet.

Zhou Rui laughed angrily, "Did the Silver Wolf Empire fail to figure out who won the Shark Island naval battle?

Are you asking for such harsh conditions to make fun of my Ganyang Zhou family? "

"Major General, according to the news we got from Guiying, the conflict between the Silver Wolf Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire has recently intensified, and it is likely to turn into a war.
