The end of the military era

Of course, the rebel army will not help this favor in vain. Zhou Rui promised to help the rebel army with a large amount of weapons, ammunition, food and medicine.

Because there are army weapons and equipment produced by the lottery system, Zhou Rui doesn't like the weapons of the original Zhenwei army at all.

The 8000 breech-loading single-shot rifles, 2000 continuous-fire rifles, 80 heavy machine guns, and 300 million rounds of ammunition that Zhou Rui promised to help the rebels were all eliminated after the reorganization of several direct-line troops of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion. down the weapon ammunition.

Hearing that the Silver Wolf Column has such a large establishment, but the total number of combat troops is only more than 7000 people, Zhou Rui said with some emotion: "It seems that Commander Wei has a very difficult life in the Silver Wolf Empire!"

Wei Zhao sighed and said, "Marshal Zhou, I'm telling you the truth.

Maybe it's because of my lack of ability. In the past few years, under my leadership, the Silver Wolf Column has fought fewer and fewer troops. Now the Silver Wolf Column can be said to be the column with the fewest troops and the weakest combat effectiveness among the six major columns of the Rebel Army. It's also the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to see Marshal Zhou. "

Chapter 134

Although the six major columns of the rebel army are all under the command of the general headquarters of the rebel army, because each of the six major columns is in the territory of an orc country, they are naturally isolated, so the six major columns have a lot of autonomy.

So some columns found another backer for themselves outside the general headquarters of the rebel army.

For example, the Flying Leopard Column, currently the strongest in the rebel army, secretly hooked up with the Liangyan Empire, and received strong support from the Liangyan Empire in all aspects.

At present, the combat force of the Flying Leopard Column has a combined strength of more than 5 people, which is several times that of the Silver Wolf Column.

And like the Red Tiger Column, although they didn't find any backing, the general headquarters of the rebel army was in the Red Tiger Empire, and Gu Longpeng, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, directly served as the commander of the Red Tiger Column.

For example, most of the funds, weapons, food, and medicine that Zhou Rui donated to the rebels before went to the Red Tiger Column, and the other five columns didn't get much.

Cheng Xianhou then said to Zhou Rui: "Marshal Zhou, Wei Zhao's father and I had a fatal friendship. If it wasn't for Wei Zhao's father back then, I might have become a pile of bones.

The current situation of the Silver Wolf Column can be said to be very bad. There is an extreme shortage of various materials, especially weapons and ammunition.

Although I have some face with Commander Gu, when it comes to the distribution of supplies, Commander Gu has no way to allocate too much share to the Silver Wolf Column.

Wei Zhao came to see Marshal Zhou this time because he actually hoped that Marshal Zhou would fully support the Silver Wolf Column. "

Zhou Rui frowned and asked, "What is comprehensive support?"

Wei Zhao hurriedly said: "Marshal Zhou, comprehensive support refers to other than weapons and supplies, Marshal Zhou will also send officers and soldiers to help the Silver Wolf Column reorganize and comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of each unit.

As long as Commander Zhou is willing to fully support the Silver Wolf Column, Commander Zhou will have the final say on the Silver Wolf Column in the future, and I can also give up the position of Commander of the Silver Wolf Column to Commander Zhou.

To put it more clearly, our Silver Wolf Column wants to seek refuge with Commander Zhou. "

At this moment, Zhou Rui couldn't help being surprised. Although the military strength of the Silver Wolf Column was not considered strong, as Wei Zhao said, the Silver Wolf Column had hundreds of thousands of peripheral personnel. With a very complete intelligence network, the entire Silver Wolf Column can be regarded as a considerable force.

"Guard commander, if you do this, will the general command of the rebel army agree?"

"The current situation of the Silver Wolf Column is actually more serious than what Uncle Cheng said.

The combat troops of our Silver Wolf Column are now all divided among several deep mountains by the army of the Silver Wolf Empire, and some troops are almost out of ammunition and food.

Since the general headquarters can't control our Silver Wolf Column, then our Silver Wolf Column can only find a way to survive by ourselves! "

Zhou Rui is actually very interested in the Silver Wolf Column that controls the rebel army.

If the Silver Wolf Column is controlled by Zhou Rui, once the Silver Wolf Empire invades again, Zhou Rui can let the Silver Wolf Column do some things in the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire, so as to hinder the Silver Wolf Empire.

Moreover, taking control of the Silver Wolf Column is equivalent to having an additional intelligence network all over the Silver Wolf Empire. No matter how you look at this deal, it is not a loss.

However, Zhou Rui didn't make any promises to Wei Zhao on the spot, but said that the matter was very important, and the Zhou family needed to discuss it carefully.

Cheng Xianhou and Wei Zhao did not live in the Zhou Mansion, but were arranged by Zhou Rui in another courtyard in Xicheng District.

After Cheng Xianhou and Wei Zhao returned to their residence, Cheng Xianhou couldn't help asking Wei Zhao, "Zhaozi, are you really willing to give the Silver Wolf Column to Zhou Rui?"

Wei Zhao said bitterly: "Uncle Cheng, since the establishment of the Silver Wolf Column, it has left the imprint of our Wei family.

For the sake of the Silver Wolf Column, we Wei family disciples have sacrificed a lot. It is impossible to say that we are not at all reluctant.

However, the Silver Wolf Empire has intensified its efforts to encircle and suppress our Silver Wolf Column in the past few years. If we don't get strong support, we might not have the name Silver Wolf Column in the future. "

Cheng Xianhou nodded, "The strength of the Zhou family is unfathomable and their financial resources are very strong.

It might be a good thing if the Zhou family could take over the Silver Wolf Column, at least the soldiers of the Silver Wolf Column would not have to worry about starvation. "

In a study room of Zhou Mansion, after Zhou Rui told his father Zhou Xiaozheng about the silver wolf column, Zhou Xiaozheng said in a deep voice: "You have to think about this matter yourself.

After all, the Silver Wolf Empire is thousands of miles away from the Han and Tang Empires across the sea, so don't waste your last effort. "

Zhou Rui nodded, "I also have scruples about this, but if our Zhou family can control the Silver Wolf Column, it will be like driving a nail into the heart of the Silver Wolf Empire.

This time, because of the Flying Leopard Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire had to sign an armistice agreement with our Zhou family. When the Silver Wolf Empire is free in the future, maybe our Zhou family will have to fight the Silver Wolf Empire. "

After a pause, Zhou Rui continued: "If our Zhou family takes over the Silver Wolf Column, I plan to transfer a group of officers and veterans to the Silver Wolf Empire, and directly reorganize the Silver Wolf Column into the Zhou Family's Silver Wolf Column. on par.

Of course, according to the actual situation of the Silver Wolf Empire, the various benefits of the Silver Wolf Column in the future may be somewhat different from those of the Zhou Family Army. "

"Then who are you going to send to take over the Silver Wolf Column?"

"Li Dongbao and Hu Qi."

Li Dongbao is now the head of the Ganyang garrison guard regiment, and Hu Qi is one of the top executives of the "Ghost Shadow" intelligence organization, and he is directly under Zhou Rui's orders.

Li Dongbao and Hu Qi were called together by Zhou Rui, and when they learned that they would be sent to the Silver Wolf Empire, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

Li Dongbao hesitated and said: "Commander, can I go to the Silver Wolf Column to take the lead?"

Zhou Rui saw that Li Dongbao was a bit unwilling to go to the Silver Wolf Empire, so he sighed and said, "Hua Bao, you also know why the Silver Wolf Empire has given up on our Zhou family this time.

When the Silver Wolf Empire resolves its conflict with the Flying Leopard Empire, it is likely to make a comeback.

So the Silver Wolf Column of the Rebel Army is actually very important to our Zhou family. Once the Silver Wolf Empire invades again, the Silver Wolf Column can completely set the backyard of the Silver Wolf Empire on fire and involve the energy of the Silver Wolf Empire.

Now you understand, why did I have to send you there? "

Li Dongbao scratched his head, "Marshal, I still don't quite understand.

I feel that in our Zhou family, there are too many candidates who are more suitable than me, but I have never even been on the battlefield. "

"Because the Silver Wolf Empire is too far away from the Han and Tang Empires, I must send someone I absolutely trust to firmly control the Silver Wolf Column for our Zhou family.

Don't wait until the end, our Zhou family contributes money and effort to this silver wolf column, but we make wedding dresses for others. "

When Li Dongbao heard what Zhou Rui said, he could only nod his head and said, "Marshal, I'll go!"

Zhou Rui nodded, "This time, more than 1000 mid- and low-level officers and veterans will be dispatched to follow you to the Silver Wolf Column.

In addition, I will assign Xiang Tao to you as your deputy. Although that kid is greedy for money and lust, he has a good brain. If you encounter any problems, you should listen to his opinions.

As for weapons and equipment, in order to avoid exposing the relationship between our Zhou family and the Silver Wolf Column, we can only give you some captured guns and ammunition to use first.
