The end of the military era

Zhou Rui heard that Song Limin didn't pay attention to the navy of the Manniu Empire, so he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Old Song, you have been getting more and more bloated recently.

Don't forget that the navy of the Bull Empire is equipped with a very large number of destroyers and torpedo boats. "

Song Limin smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the commander that I was able to inflate. If the commander hadn't added so many warships to our Southwest Coast Defense Fleet, I don't think I would be able to inflate.

Our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has never fought against the Navy of the Bull Empire before, otherwise our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will let the Navy of the Bull Empire know how ridiculous their "fish plan" is. "

"Old Song, what's your opinion on the second all-main-gun battleship designed by Ganyang Shipyard?"

The second all-main-gun battleship designed by Ganyang Shipyard refers to the American New Mexico-class all-main-gun battleship, with a full load displacement of 33200 tons and a maximum speed of 19 knots.

装备4座三联装五十倍口径356毫米主炮，20门120毫米副炮，24门30毫米高射炮，24挺13毫米高射机枪，4具500毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 200 mm to 350 mm, the main deck armor is 90 mm, the main turret armor is 450 mm, and the crew is full of 1220 people.

Song Limin said, "I am very satisfied with the second full main gun battleship designed by Ganyang Shipyard. I wonder if there are any technical difficulties in Ganyang Shipyard?

How many ships of this all-main-gun battleship can be built at the same time? "

Zhou Rui pondered for a while and said, "By building the first battleship with all main guns, Ganyang Shipyard has accumulated a certain amount of technology.

Since the shipbuilders of Ganyang Shipyard dared to design a battleship with all main guns equipped with four triple-mounted 4-caliber 356 mm main guns, they must be able to overcome some technical difficulties.

Now Ganyang Shipyard has eight 8-ton floating docks, and I plan to free up four for the construction of this new battleship with all main guns. "

The eight 8-ton floating docks were built by Zhou Rui from the system. There are also 4 12-ton floating docks at the naval base on Crescent Island.

It is practical to use a floating dock of 3 tons, and it can also build a battleship with full main guns and a displacement of 33200 tons. However, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has 218 battleships with full main guns and 96 battlecruisers. These large floating docks must be provided for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. maintain.

Song Limin sighed and said, "Marshal, we still have too few large docks. I wonder when Jingsheng Shipyard will be built?"

The construction of Jingsheng Shipyard was ordered by Zhou Rui, and the first phase of Jingsheng Shipyard built 12 docks of 4 tons and 12 docks of 35 tons.

According to Zhou Rui's plan, Jingsheng Shipyard will mainly be used to build full main gun battleships and battlecruisers in the future.

The Ganyang Shipyard is mainly engaged in the construction of large armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and submarines, and the Ganyang Shipyard will also be the main maintenance base of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Zhou Rui said, "Even if the 24 large docks in the first phase of Jingsheng Shipyard are completed, compared with the entire Southwest Coast Defense Fleet, the large docks are still seriously insufficient.

Now that we have been able to build large docks ourselves, we can choose several suitable sites and build several shipyards.

With the current shipbuilding capabilities of our Zhou family, compared with those orc nations, the gap is really too big. "

Then Zhou Rui turned his head and said to Zhou Xiaorong, "Second Uncle, once the supply channel with the Silver Wolf Column is reopened, the eight front armies will continue to mobilize troops and spare no effort to support the Silver Wolf Column."

The eight front armies mentioned by Zhou Rui refer to Fengwu Army, Zhenwei Army, Kangyang Army, Jinzhong Army, Jindong Army, Jinnan Army, Jinxi Army and Jinbei Army.

Now these eight front armies have 15 infantry divisions and several garrison regiments under their jurisdiction. Zhou Rui also assigned commanders to these eight front armies.

The commander of the Fengwu Army is Zhou Xiaorong, the commander of the Zhenwei Army is Song Shenghe, the commander of the Kangyang Army is Wang Biao, and the commander of the Jinzhong Army is Liu Mo.

The commander of the Eastern Jin Army was Huang Zhigang, the commander of the Southern Jin Army was Li Donghu, the commander of the Western Jin Army was Ma Tiezhu, and the commander of the Northern Jin Army was Guan Guoren.

Zhou Xiaorong nodded, "Don't worry, Commander, as long as the Silver Wolf Column needs it, the eight front armies will have no problem supporting millions of people."

Zhou Rui then said, "I brought the three of you here today, mainly to discuss with you, which direction our Zhou family should expand next."

Now the feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires have been divided into eight major forces, and the Zhou family occupies one of them.

In November of last year, the imperial imperial army, aided by the Golden Lion Empire, annexed Pingyue Town in the Northeast with lightning speed, making the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empire, in addition to the Tiansheng City area, also He took control of Pushan Town and Pingyue Town and became one of the eight major forces.

Seeing that the imperial court of the Han and Tang Empires annexed Pingyue Town so quickly, Jinggu Town, Zhongfang Town and Yongwei Town in the Northeast immediately formed the Northeast Alliance with great fanfare, hoping to resist the imperial court's invasion.

Originally there was a Shuodong Town in the Northeast, but when the Northeast Alliance was formed, due to leadership issues, Shuodong Town did not join the Northeast Alliance.

However, Shuodong Town's own strength is too strong, and Shuodong Town has entered one of the eight major powers of the Han and Tang Empires just by virtue of its own vassal town.

Of course, the Northeast Alliance was also included in one of the eight major powers of the Han and Tang Empires.

In addition, in order to guard against the Zhou family, the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance were formed, which also occupied two seats of the eight major forces of the Han and Tang Empire.

Shuonan Jiedu Shi Desheng, after receiving the aid of the Red Tiger Empire, started the mode of crazy military expansion, and then with a tough stance, began to confiscate the military power of the families in Shuonan Town.

Now the military power in Shuonan Town has basically been taken back by the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion.

Seeing that the Shuonan Jiedu Mansion took back the military power of the entire Shuonan Army, the other five towns among the six towns in the southeast couldn't sit still.

So Lechang Town, Longnan Town, Anlu Town, Dongling Town, and Puxing Town in the southeastern region formed the Southeast Alliance against Shuonan Town.

The Southeast Alliance and Shuonan Town occupied the last two seats of the eight major powers of the Han and Tang Empires.

Hu Yi immediately said in a deep voice, "Commander, if our Zhou family wants to continue to expand in the country, there are only two options for the time being, the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance.

However, according to the information obtained by our 'Ghost Shadow', it seems that some kind of agreement has been reached between the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance. Maybe our Zhou family will attack one of them, and the other side will choose to declare war on our Zhou family.

So I suggest taking down the Baji Empire first, our "Ghost Shadow" has completed the deployment in the Baji Empire. "

The Baji Empire is located to the west of the original Bajin Empire, adjacent to the current Jinxi Town and Jinbei Town, with an area of ​​about 230 square kilometers. Before the emergence of different time and space nodes, the Baji Empire was also a vassal state of the Han and Tang Empires.

After the disaster of beasts appeared, the generals who controlled the military power of the Baji Empire no longer obeyed the orders of the royal family of the Baji Empire, and began to separate one side.

After more than 200 years of annexation and fighting, there are only three big families left in the Baji Empire, forming a three-family confrontation, namely the Chengguan family in Jingzhou, the Xia family in Guling City, and the Jiang family in Chong'an City.

These three big families of the Baji Empire want to eat the other two and unify the Baji Empire.

Just last year, a scuffle broke out among the three big families of the Baji Empire. The combined armies of the three families had more than one million casualties.

After completely annexing the last two provinces of the Ba-Jin Empire, Zhou Rui turned his attention to the Ba-Ji Empire, and then ordered "Ghost Shadow" to spend a lot of money in the Ba-Ji Empire to buy off the leaders of the three big families generals.

Zhou Rui asked Zhou Xiaorong, "Second Uncle, what do you think?"

Zhou Xiaorong said slowly, "Now that our Zhou family is in the Han and Tang Empires, it can be said that we have become the target of public criticism.

I think the time is not ripe for attacking the Southwest Alliance or the Northwest Alliance, and the Baji Empire is a good choice.

Moreover, the armies of the three families of the Baji Empire all lost a lot last year, and our Zhou family happened to be able to take advantage of it. "

Song Limin then said, "I also agree with taking the Baji Empire first. If our Zhou family can win the Baji Empire, it will be equivalent to adding three more feudal towns."

Chapter 192

After Zhou Rui decided to annex the Bayi Empire's plan, the war machines of the Eight Towns Jiedu Mansion quickly started to activate.

At the station of the Sixth Infantry Division of the Jinxi Army outside Yancheng, Jinxi Township, the division commander Xie Dong looked at the soldiers who were undergoing shooting training, and turned to Liu Erga, commander of the 61st Brigade of the Jinxi Army, and said: "Erga, recently For a period of time, the holidays of all officers and soldiers were cancelled.

You should have heard something too, right? "
