The end of the military era

Due to the joining of the Barbarian Empire army, the sea supply channel between us and the Silver Wolf Column was completely cut off.

After 10 months of anti-encirclement and suppression operations, although the Silver Wolf Column severely damaged the troops of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Barbarian Bull Empire, the Silver Wolf Column itself also suffered heavy losses.

To make matters worse, the silver wolf column was seriously short of ammunition, and many artillery units had even been reorganized as infantry. "

Zhou Rui frowned and asked: "Since the situation of the Silver Wolf Column is so bad, why doesn't the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet think of a way to reopen the sea supply channel?"

Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, sighed and said, "Commander, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has gathered several main formations, trying to forcibly open the sea supply channel with the Silver Wolf Column.

However, it was not expected that the navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the navy of the Scarlet Tiger Empire would both send out a large fleet to unite with the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire and the Navy of the Bull Empire to block the eastern coast of the Empire of the Bull.

Seeing the combined scale of the navies of the four orc nations, several main formations of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet had no choice but to escort the transport fleet back home. "

Hearing that even the navy of the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire participated in the blockade of the eastern coast of the Manniu Empire, Zhou Rui's brows could not help but tightened a little.

It seems that these orc nations have realized that the Silver Wolf Column not only threatens the Silver Wolf Empire, but also threatens the rule of other orc nations in this world.

Zhou Rui then turned to Hu Yi and asked, "What's the matter with the rebellion in Jidong Town, Jixi Town, and Jibei Town?"

Hu Yi hurriedly said: "Commander, when forming the Jidong Army, Jixi Army, and Jibei Army, he recruited some troops from the three original families of the Baji Empire.

It was some of them who were tempted by the Barbarian Empire and the Black Bear Empire to launch the rebellion at the beginning of the year. "

Chapter 199 New Warship

In January of Tianyuan 1542, some units of the Jidong Army, Jixi Army, and Jibei Army mutinied successively.

Thanks to Li Shengjun, the commander of the Eastern Ji Army, Wen Ximing, the commander of the Western Ji Army, and Hou Lian, the commander of the Northern Ji Army, they immediately dispatched troops loyal to the Zhou family to counter the rebellion. The rule of the town and Jibei town.

At this time, the disaster of the beast tide in the Barbarian Empire had basically been calmed down, and millions of barbarian troops were redeployed in the border area adjacent to Jibei Town.

If it weren't for the Zhou family's fast enough suppression of the rebellion, perhaps the barbarian army had already invaded Jibei Town.

Zhou Xiaozheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, immediately said to Zhou Rui: "At present, the establishment of the Jidong Army, Jixi Army, and Jibei Army has been fully restored, but the Barbarian Empire has been expanding its army recently.

It seems that the Barbarian Empire and the Black Bear Empire behind it have never given up on Jidong Town, Jixi Town and Jibei Town. "

Hu Yi followed up and said: "Commander, according to the information we have so far, the army size of the Barbarian Empire has reached 450 million.

As of mid-September, the Barbarian Empire had deployed approximately 9 million army troops in the border area adjacent to Jibei Town, and the Barbarian Empire's military expansion continued. "

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "The barbarian empire is nothing to worry about. If the barbarian empire dares to attack first, it will just take the barbarian empire and add a few new towns for our Zhou family."

Although there were some small episodes, after Zhou Rui passed out, the strength of the Zhou family was still increasing steadily.

Today, the eleven front armies in 11 feudal towns have a total of 165 infantry divisions and 550 garrison regiments under their jurisdiction, with a total strength of 770 million. This does not count the dozens of infantry divisions and dozens of independent brigades of the Silver Wolf Column.

Even if the Black Bear Empire behind the Barbarian Empire went shirtless, Zhou Rui was not afraid.

After the soul retraveled back, the gold bricks, silver bricks, warships, army weapons and food that were originally stored in the lottery system reappeared in the lottery system.

These gold bricks, silver bricks, warships, army weapons and equipment, and food are also where Zhou Rui's confidence is not afraid of the Barbarian Empire and even the Black Bear Empire.

Zhou Rui just woke up, and the lottery system gave him a Samsung lottery card for September this year.

After this three-star lottery card was used by Zhou Rui, 3 50-jin gold bricks and 4 German Bavarian-class battleships were drawn out.

The German Bavarian-class battleship is the first new warship to be released by the lottery system. Now Zhou Rui doesn't need the introduction of the lottery system to know the German Bavarian-class battleship very well.

The Bavarian-class battleship has a full load displacement of 32850 tons and a top speed of 22 knots.

装备了4座双联装45倍口径380毫米主炮，16门150毫米副炮，10门88毫米高射炮，5具600毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt has a maximum thickness of 350mm, three armored decks, each layer is 30mm to 40mm thick, the main turret armor is 450mm, and the crew is full of 1171 people.

In another time and space, the Bavarian-class battleship belonged to the super dreadnought battleship, and in the time and space of the Han and Tang Empire, it belonged to the full main gun battleship.

The two time-space dreadnought battleships and all main gun battleships are basically equivalent to one type of battleship, except that all main gun battleships are not divided into dreadnoughts and super dreadnoughts like dreadnought battleships.

In addition, among the warships reserved by the lottery system, there are 4 newly launched battleships, Zhou Rui has not had time to deliver them to the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

The British Queen Elizabeth-class battleship has a full load displacement of 33020 tons and a maximum speed of 25 knots.

装备了4座双联装42倍口径381毫米主炮，12门152毫米副炮，2门76毫米高射炮，4具533毫米鱼雷发射管。

The thickest side armor belt is 330 mm, the main deck armor is 127 mm, the main turret armor is 330 mm, and the full crew is 925 people.

Like the Bavarian-class battleships, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships belonged to super dreadnought battleships in another time and space, and they belonged to all main gun battleships in the time and space of the Han and Tang Empire.

In another time and space, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships were built before the First World War. Between the two world wars, the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships also underwent two large-scale modernizations.

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships drawn out by the lottery system have not been modified and belong to the original design.

"Have there been any changes in the other forces in our Han and Tang Empire this year?" Zhou Rui asked.

Hu Yi replied: "Commander, the situation in the Han and Tang Empires is fairly stable, but the feudal towns have been expanding their armies.

For example, the imperial court that controls Tiansheng City, Pushan Town, and Pingyue Town has now expanded to more than 150 million forbidden troops and more than 50 local troops.

In addition, the Southwest Alliance and the Northwest Alliance also officially announced the formation of the Nine-Towns Alliance. If all the troops of the Nine-Towns Alliance are counted, the total strength of the Nine-Towns Alliance will exceed 600 million at least. "

The Southwest Alliance includes Boting Town, Yannan Town, Beibei Town, and Deyang Town, and the Northwest Alliance includes Botai Town, Fuping Town, Xiangxi Town, Ding'an Town, and Luoshan Town, which add up to exactly nine feudal towns.

As for the so-called Nine Towns Alliance, it was obviously formed for the Zhou family.

Zhou Rui asked again: "What's going on with the buying plan that you Ghosting implemented in these nine feudal towns?"

"Some results have been achieved, but now all the feudal towns have strengthened the monitoring of the internal generals, so the implementation of the plan to buy these nine feudal towns is not very smooth, and there is still a long way to go from the goal set by our ghost distance."

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, "For the time being, our Zhou family will not annex these nine feudal towns, you can take your time with Ghosting's buying plan.

You have bought an extra general from these nine feudal towns, and in the future when our Zhou family attacks these nine feudal towns, it will reduce some of the resistance.

Again, don't be afraid to spend money. If 300 million silver coins can't impress the other party, then take out 400 million silver coins or 500 million silver coins until the other party is impressed. "

Then Zhou Rui turned his head to Song Limin and asked, "How about the performance of the four full-armor battleships built by Ganyang Shipyard?"

The first all-main-gun battleship built by Ganyang Shipyard has joined the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Song Limin said: "Commander, the performance of the four all-main-gun battleships is not bad in all aspects. At present, the four all-main-gun battleships have been organized into the eighth formation, forming a single team.

After discussing with the old commander, in order to commemorate the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City, the four full main gun battleships were named Dongfeng, Nanfeng, Xifeng and Beifeng respectively. "

Dongfeng, Nanfeng, Xifeng and Beifeng were originally the names of the four iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships that originated from the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City.

After a pause, Song Limin continued: "Currently, Ganyang Shipyard and Jingsheng Shipyard have started to build 20 battleships of the second type with full main guns at the same time.

This second full main gun battleship is tentatively designated as the Shuzi class, and the first ship will be named the Shuguang. "
