The end of the military era

After the church worship was over, Zhou Rui couldn't help but use up the four-star lottery cards he got, and even gave out fifteen rewards at once.

98 German Mauser 60k rifles

26 Czech zb6 light machine guns

34 German G2 general-purpose machine guns

54 Huaxia Type 20 pistols

1897 French 75-type 3000 field guns

1913 French Schneider 105 1500mm howitzers

1929 French Schneider 155 750mm howitzers

18 million German 3000 grenades

79257 million boxes of 800mm rifle bullets, 1500 rounds per box

76225 boxes of 40mm pistol bullets, 2000 rounds per box

75 million rounds of 600mm shells

105 million rounds of 300mm shells

155 million rounds of 150mm shells

4 German König-class battleships

4 British Iron Duke-class battleships

With the army weapons and ammunition issued by this four-star lottery card, plus the army weapons issued by the lottery system before, it is enough for Zhou Rui to expand the number of army troops under his command to more than one million.

And this time a new artillery was developed, the more powerful 155mm howitzer.

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the French Schneider 1929 155mm howitzer has a maximum range of 175 kilometers and a full gun weight of 56 tons. It is definitely a powerful suppressive artillery.

Next, Zhou Rui plans to equip the French 1897 Type 75 field artillery with the regiment-level artillery firepower in Zhou's army.

The brigade-level artillery firepower is equipped with the French Schneider 1913-style 105mm howitzer, and the division-level artillery firepower is equipped with the French Schneider 1929-style 155mm howitzer.

Such artillery equipment is definitely comparable to the armies of the Black Bear Empire and the Golden Lion Empire.

Among the armies of the six major orc nations, the Black Bear Empire and the Golden Lion Empire are considered the strongest.

As for the armies of these two orc countries, there are different opinions on who is better. Perhaps only when a war breaks out between the armies of these two countries can we determine who is number one and who is number two.

The third army in the world, without much controversy, was captured by the army of the Bull Empire.

Next, in order of army ranking, they are the Silver Wolf Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Flying Leopard Empire.

The German König-class battleship, with a full load displacement of 29200 tons, has 3 steam engines, 12 coal-fired boilers, and 3 oil-fired boilers, with a maximum speed of 21 knots.

装备了5座双联装五十倍口径305毫米主炮，14门45倍口径150毫米副炮，10门45倍口径88毫米高平两用炮，5具500毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 150mm to 350mm, three armored decks, each layer is 30mm, the main turret armor is 300mm, and the crew is full of 1136 people.

The British Iron Duke-class battleship has a full load displacement of 30380 tons and a top speed of 216 knots.

装备了5座双联装45倍口径343毫米主炮，12门五十倍口径152毫米副炮，4门47毫米速射炮，4具533毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 152 mm to 305 mm, the main deck armor is 76 mm, the main turret armor is 279 mm, and the crew is full of 995 people.

Obviously, the two battleships released are also all-main-gun battleships, and they are stronger than the several full-main-gun battleships issued by the previous lottery system.

According to the introduction of the lottery system, the German König-class battleship is an upgraded version of the German Kaiser-class battleship, and the British Iron Duke-class battleship is an enhanced version of the British Toza-class battleship.

A two-star lottery card given for free in June was used by Zhou Rui to draw out two British Invincible-class battlecruisers.

In this way, the number of warships reserved in the lottery system has increased to 10.

Zhou Rui can also immediately add another 10 capital ships to the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Zhou family.

However, Zhou Rui thought of Song Limin's haggard face, so he decided to take it easy, because Zhou Rui had added a full 58 new warships to the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet, and the Coastal Defense Fleet was going to be reorganized, which almost made Song Limin Hit the back of the head for busy feet.

Zhou Rui was a little worried, adding 8 full main gun battleships and 2 battlecruisers to the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet so soon, would Song Limin, who had officially taken over as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet, be exhausted.

This time Zhou Rui got married, many generals of the Zhou family army rushed back to Ganyang City to attend the wedding, even Zhou Xiaorong who was in Linxing City, and Song Limin who had been staying in Crescent Island also rushed back.

That night, although the generals of Zhou's army did not dare to go to the bridal chamber, they also gathered together to drink and fight. Many of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Due to health reasons, Zhou Xiaorong only drank a glass of wine and stopped drinking, while Song Limin, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, did not drink much.

When the atmosphere at the wine table was getting more and more lively, Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin hid in the next room and had someone bring a pot of hot tea.

Zhou Xiaorong poured a cup of tea for Song Limin, and said, "Old Song, you have to pay attention to rest, you don't look very good!"

Song Limin picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a wry smile: "The affairs of the coastal defense fleet are piled up like a mountain, and now I can't even sleep for 4 hours a day.

Even on the way to Ganyang City this time, I didn't relax. "

"Old Song, you have to take it easy. If you are exhausted, no one will take care of the big mess of the Coastal Defense Fleet."

"When the coastal defense fleet had only seven old ships, I hoped that the general would add new warships to the coastal defense fleet.

Well now, I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief will send new warships to our coastal defense fleet.

For almost a year, our coastal defense fleet has hardly stopped recruiting recruits, but the result is still unable to keep up with the speed at which the commander-in-chief adds new warships to our coastal defense fleet. "

"Hehe, Lao Song, why do I listen, it seems that you are showing off to me."

Song Limin sighed and said: "Although I am exhausted because of the reorganization of the Coastal Defense Fleet this time, every time I see the data of the five major formations of the Coastal Defense Fleet, I feel that I have endless energy again."

"How many warships are there in the five formations of the Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet?"

“如果只算五大编队，目前一共有22艘全主炮战列舰、12艘战列巡洋舰、5艘全钢制战列舰、17艘大型装甲巡洋舰、18艘轻巡洋舰和24艘驱逐舰。

In addition, our Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet also has several squadrons stationed in the port all year round. In total, there are 11 armored battleships, 5 armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers, and 6 offshore gunboats.

If only in terms of the size of the navy, our Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet is enough to rank as the fifth navy in the world, surpassing the navy of the Black Bear Empire and the Bull Empire, and second only to the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire. "

In terms of navies alone, among the six major orc nations, the navy of the Golden Lion Empire is the strongest, and the ranking of the navies of the next five nations, from high to low, is the Red Tiger Empire, the Flying Leopard Empire, the Silver Wolf Empire, and the Black Bear Empire. , Bull Empire.

After a pause, Song Limin continued: "Although I don't know where the commander-in-chief got so many warships, the commander-in-chief must have paid a heavy price for it.

So I can't let the commander down, our Northwest Coastal Defense Fleet can't let the commander down.

The naval battles of Xiangshi Island and Shark Island exposed too many problems, and now I wish I could do the avatar technique. "
