The end of the military era

Zhou Rui then hesitated for a moment and asked: "Old Song, what level can the combat power of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet reach now?

After the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire entered Gaosnail Island, the enemy that your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will face next will be even stronger. "

Song Limin understood that the arrival of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire not only made him sleepless every night, but also lost a lot of hair. In fact, even Zhou Rui was under a lot of pressure.

After all, behind the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, there is still the behemoth of the Golden Lion Empire.

"Commander, although our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet still has the problem of too many new recruits, after the Xiangshi Island and Shark Island naval battles, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has trained a large number of officers and sailors who have experienced actual combat.

Even facing the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire, the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, and the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire at the same time, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is not afraid at all! "

As soon as Song Limin finished speaking, Hu Yi hurried over with a telegram, "Commander, Fengwu Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao was poisoned and died, Xiushui City is in chaos now."

On the evening of June 6th, in a study room in Fengwu Jiedu Mansion in Xiushui City, Shen Du asked his staff member Ding Lin in a deep voice: "What's the situation with the third child?"

Ding Lin said with a wry smile: "My lord, now Shen Zhi is sending people everywhere to spread the word that the Jiedu Envoy was

Now Shen Zhi's third division, the No. 20 Seventh Independent Brigade, and the No. 20 Eighth Independent Brigade have begun to deploy defenses in Beicheng District, posing as if they are about to start a fight. "

Although Ding Lin is Shen Xiao's confidant and aide, he has taken refuge in Shen Zhi in the dark.

Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao went to inspect the No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade and No.20 Eighth Independent Brigade newly formed in Fengwu Jiedu Mansion yesterday afternoon.

These two independent brigades were established by Shen Xiao's third son, Shen Zhi. Shen Xiao was very satisfied with the training of these two independent brigades. The meaning of succeeding Fengwu Jiedushi.

Unexpectedly, someone put poison in Shen Xiao's tea that night.

Although Shen Xiao has many sons, only the eldest son Shen Du and the third son Shen Zhi are really qualified to compete for the position of Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

Shen Xiao had just revealed that he wanted Shen Zhi to inherit the position of Fengwu Jiedu envoy in the future, but he was poisoned to death. Of course, Shen Du was most suspected.

At this moment, Shen Du's face was very ugly.

Although Shen Du felt very annoyed at his father's delay in appointing him as the next Fengwu Jiedu envoy, he never considered murdering his father.

Perhaps once in a while, such a thought flashed through his mind, but Shen Du strangled that thought to death in an instant.

Shen Du gritted his teeth and said: "What does the third child want to do? Do you want to fight with me in Xiushui City?"

"Eldest son, maybe Shen Zhi really thinks so.

After all, the Jiedushi did not make a will, and according to the rule of succession by the eldest son, the eldest son should be the new Fengwu Jiedushi.

But Shen Zhi should not be reconciled, and let the eldest son successfully inherit the position of Jiedushi. "

A fierce light flashed in Shen Du's eyes, "Mr. Ding, help me stabilize my second uncle and my three cousins, and try to get their troops to stand by my side.

If the third child really doesn't know what to do, I have to teach him a lesson for my father! "

Chapter 144

The cities that Fengwu Jiedu Mansion can completely control include Xiushui City, Yongtai City and Jingyang City that originally belonged to Zhenwei Town.

Yongtai City is located to the north of Xiushui City, and Jingyang City is located to the north of Yongtai City.

At present, the direct line troops of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion have increased to 10, including 3 infantry divisions and 7 independent brigades.

In addition to the 2 infantry divisions and 4 independent brigades directly controlled by the two brothers Shen Du and Shen Zhi, another 1 infantry division and 3 independent brigades were stationed in Jingyang City and Yongtai City respectively.

Among them, the troops stationed in Jingyang City are the Second Division of the Fengwu Army and the newly formed No.20 Sixth Independent Brigade.

Shen Mao, the commander of the Second Division, is Shen Du's second uncle. Shen Ji, the commander of the No. 20 Sixth Independence Brigade, is Shen Du's cousin. Shen Mao and Shen Ji are father and son.

The First Independent Brigade and the Second Independent Brigade of the Fengwu Army were stationed in Yongtai City. The two brigade commanders, Shen Xu and Shen Xian, were both sons of Shen Du's third uncle, Shen Xiang.

Since Shen Xiang died on the battlefield many years ago, Shen Xu and Shen Xian were brought up by Jiedu envoy Shen Xiao since they were young.

Shen Xiao has great trust in Shen Xu and Shen Xian, and Shen Xu and Shen Xian are indeed capable, so they can each control a direct line of troops in Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

Ding Lin, the staff member, heard that Shen Du asked him to stabilize Shen Du's second uncle, Shen Mao, and the other three brigade commanders of the independent brigade. With Shen Xu and Shen Xian, they will not stand in line easily.

The most important thing now is to prevent Shen Zhi from taking risks.

I suggest immediately ordering the No.20 Fifth Independent Brigade and No.20 Sixth Independent Brigade to withdraw to Xiushui City! "

Now the forces of all parties in Fengwu Town have already entered the first batch of troops in order to guard against the West Camp and East Camp formed by the Zhou family in Ganyang.

Shen Du's No.20 Fifth Independent Brigade was ordered to be transferred to the West Daying, and the No.20 Sixth Independent Brigade was ordered to be transferred to the East Daying.

Now Shen Du's troops in Xiushui City only have the first division left.

Originally, according to the arrangement of Shen Xiao of the Jiedu Mansion, the No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade and No.20 Eighth Independent Brigade will be stationed in the West Daying and East Daying respectively in the next step.

But before the No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade and No.20 Eighth Independent Brigade had time to set off, Shen Xiao was poisoned to death. At this time, in Xiushui City, compared with his elder brother Shen Du, Shen Zhi had a large number of troops. The advantages.

Shen Du said indifferently: "Mr. Ding, don't worry, even if the youngest dares to jump over the wall, relying on the first division is enough to control the situation in Xiushui City, not to mention that I am not completely unprepared."

Although the strength of the three infantry divisions in the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion's direct troops is around 3, the weapons and equipment of the first division far exceed those of the second and third divisions.

In particular, the Divisional Heavy Artillery Regiment under the First Division is equipped with 24 140mm large-caliber howitzers imported from the Manniu Empire.

In the Jingyang battle between the Fengwu Army and the Zhenwei Army, the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion finally forced the original Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion to cede the entire Jingyang area.

"My lord, there are some things that need to be resolved. Don't forget that there is still the Ganyang Zhou family watching over you!"

Shen Du understood what Ding Lin meant, and if he didn't settle down with his third brother Shen Zhi, he wouldn't be able to take the position of Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

"Mr. Ding, you said that my father was poisoned, does it have something to do with the Zhou family in Ganyang?"

"My lord, I can only say that the Ganyang Zhou family is also suspected."

Shen Du said viciously: "Don't let me find out that the Ganyang Zhou family did this, or I will never let the Ganyang Zhou family do it!"

Despite Shen Du's harsh words, he knew very well in his heart that even if it was found out that his father was poisoned to death by someone sent by Ganyang Zhou's family, he could only choose to be patient for the time being.

The Zhou family did not conceal the establishment of the Zhenwei Army and the Jinnan Army. Now the entire Han and Tang Empires know that the Zhou family in Ganyang already has millions of troops in their hands, and their weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated.

The millions of army troops are not scary. What is terrible is that among the millions of army troops, soldiers are equipped with hand-bolted repeating rifles, and the number of machine guns and artillery is even more terrifying.

The Heavy Artillery Regiment of the First Division, which Shen Du was so proud of, was much inferior in all aspects to the heavy artillery regiment of the Zhenwei Army or any of the Jinnan Army's heavy artillery regiments.

In Xiushui City, in the barracks of the Third Division of the Fengwu Army, Zhao Tianyou, the deputy commander of the third division, reported to Shen Zhihui in a deep voice: "Master, the first brigade, second brigade, third brigade, artillery Both regiment and guard regiment are ready.

No.20 Seventh Independent Brigade and No.20 Eighth Independent Brigade will serve as the general reserve. "

Shen Zhi said calmly: "Now that you are ready, let's do it!

Taking advantage of the fact that No.20 Fifth Independent Brigade and No.20 Sixth Independent Brigade are not in Xiushui City, this is our only chance! "
