The end of the military era

Before leaving, Zhou Rui had already confirmed the names of the three warships with several captains of the Coastal Defense Fleet.

The all-steel battleship was named Zhenhai, and it would serve as the flagship of the coastal defense fleet.

The two armored cruisers were named Pinghai and Anhai respectively.

Song Limin, the former captain of the Shuguang, will serve as the captain of the Zhenhai, and Song Limin was also appointed by Zhou Rui as the deputy commander of the coastal defense fleet, and Zhou Rui will also serve as the commander of the coastal defense fleet.

Wang Hongchun, the former captain of Dongfeng, will serve as the captain of Pinghai.

Wang Xue, the former captain of Nanfeng, will serve as the captain of Anhai.

Most of the officers and men of the original seven old ships of the Coastal Defense Fleet will be transferred to the Zhenhai, Pinghai, and Anhai. In addition, the Coastal Defense Fleet will recruit a group of new recruits as soon as possible to fill the gap in the current Coastal Defense Fleet.

When Zhou Rui left, 1000 boxes of German Mauser 98k rifles had been piled up in a material warehouse connected to the fourth guard battalion. Ten rifles and ten matching bayonets were placed in each box.

In addition, there are 4 boxes of 7.9257mm rifle bullets stacked in this material warehouse.

"Master, are you going home now?" Li Donghu asked.

Today, only Li Donghu and Li Dongbao are the bodyguards who follow Zhou Rui inseparably every day.

However, Li Donghu and Li Dongbao selected sixteen veterans with good marksmanship and skill from the first company and the fourth company of the guard battalion, and they followed Zhou Rui every day.

In the process of supplementing the first and fourth companies of the guard battalion, the officers and soldiers are all veterans drawn from other units of the garrison brigade.

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment, "Let's go to Wanhualou to have a look!"

Wanhualou is located in the south of the city, and it can be regarded as the largest place for fireworks in Ganyang City, but Wanhualou is very different from ordinary brothels.

Wanhua Building is a four-story building, the first floor is a ballroom with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, the second floor is a restaurant and casino, and the third and fourth floors are guest rooms.

In Wanhualou, there are a large number of young and beautiful dancers and singers. The dancers can dance with the guests in the ballroom, and the singers will sing for the dancing guests and dancers with the cooperation of the band.

Of course, as long as the guests can afford the money, they can take the dancers or singers to the guest room to rest.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Rui saw sixteen soldiers from the guard battalion outside the car running along with the car, so he said to Li Dongbao who was driving: "Huabao, drive slowly!

Remember to remind me tomorrow, go to Liu's car dealership and buy a few more cars! "

After getting off the car at Wanhualou, Zhou Rui only took Li Donghu and Li Dongbao to the gate of Wanhualou.

"Master Zhou, you haven't come here for several days." A manager who greeted the guests at the gate of Wanhua Building saw Zhou Rui and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Rui directly threw three silver coins to the steward, and then asked, "Is Miss Meng Lu on stage?"

"Thank you Master Zhou for the reward! Speaking of Master Zhou, Miss Menglu hasn't appeared on stage yet, but Miss Menglu should be here soon."

"Oh, all right."

"Master Zhou, please, I will arrange a private seat for you."

Zhou Rui walked into the crowded ballroom, the scene in front of him made Zhou Rui feel like a lifetime away.

If the previous life is included, it has been more than ten years since Zhou Rui came to Wanhualou last time.

"Master Zhou, this way please."

"okay."

The steward of Wanhua Building led Zhou Rui to an elegant seat near the concert stage. This elegant seat can be regarded as one of the best seats in the ballroom, and the semi-curved couch can seat at least a dozen people.

After Zhou Rui sat down, he asked the steward, "What's your name?"

The steward was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said with a smile: "Master Zhou is really a noble man who forgets his affairs, and the young one's surname is Kong!"

"Boss Kong, bring us a few bottles of ice wine from the Golden Lion Empire. I want the Golden Noble brand. The older the better."

"Master Zhou, are you sure? Our Wanhualou has 10-year-old Golden Noble Ice Wine, and the price of each bottle is 1500 silver coins."

"Then four bottles, don't worry, I brought money today."

As he spoke, Zhou Rui took out a stack of gold tickets from his pocket, and threw them on the table in front of him.

Zhou Rui sent Li Donghu to take people to Liu's bank to exchange these golden tickets during the day.

The Liu Family Bank is located in 28 cities under the jurisdiction of Fengwu Town. It is the most powerful bank in Fengwu Town. The gold and silver notes issued by the Liu Family Bank are almost equivalent to gold and silver coins on the territory of Fengwu Town.

For the convenience of use, Zhou Rui exchanged the remaining 1 silver bricks in the lottery system for gold tickets of 1000 gold coins at the Liu Family Bank, a total of 500 pieces.

With his experience, the steward of Wanhualou could tell at a glance that this stack of gold tickets was definitely the genuine Liu Family Bank gold tickets, so he immediately shouted: "No. bottle!"

For a moment, many people in the ballroom, including the guests and dancers who were dancing on the dance floor, were all focused on Zhou Rui.

After all, the Golden Noble Ice Wine produced by the Golden Lion Empire is known as the aristocrat among wines, and each bottle is quite expensive, and the 10-year-old Golden Noble Ice Wine is the most expensive among all the wines in Wanhualou.

I ordered four bottles of 10-year-old Golden Aristocratic ice wine at once, what a rich man!

"Master Zhou, do you want to find some beautiful dancers to accompany you?"

"No, I just came here today to listen to Miss Menglu sing."

"Master Zhou, don't worry, when Miss Menglu finishes singing, I will immediately invite Miss Menglu to come over and have a few drinks with Master Zhou."

"By the way, is Boss Wan here?"

"The boss has gone out to do some errands. Does Master Zhou have anything to do with our boss?"

"If Boss Wan comes back before I leave, please invite her over. I have something to discuss with her."

On the singing stage, after four young and beautiful singers sang two more songs together, a graceful figure finally stepped onto the singing stage.

Seeing Liu Menglu again, Zhou Rui couldn't help feeling a little excited.

I will never let go of this woman I have missed in this life.

Just when Zhou Rui was obsessed with Liu Menglu's singing, a middle-aged woman who still had a charm came over, "Master Zhou, I don't know why you are looking for me?

If it's about redeeming Menglu's body, then there's no need to talk about it. Menglu is the pillar of Wanhualou, no matter how much Young Master Zhou pays, I can't let Menglu leave. "

Zhou Rui smiled, "Boss Wan, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated with money, how about 20 silver coins?"

The owner of Wanhualou is Wan Ruyi. The reason why she was able to open Wanhualou in Ganyang City is because she has the backing of Shen Zhi, the commander of the Third Division of Fengwu Army.

Hearing that Zhou Rui offered 20 silver coins, Wan Ruyi couldn't help being taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Young master Zhou, your money is too big. 20 silver coins are enough to buy a beautiful woman from the fox clan."

Although the orcs who came to this world through different time and space nodes are all intelligent races, most of them retain some symbols of beasts.

For example, in this world, the six orc tribes of the six orc tribes were established, namely, the lion tribe, the bear tribe, the tiger tribe, the wolf tribe, the leopard tribe and the cow tribe.
