The end of the military era

"Seventh brother, you only need to lead the 22 pirate ships under your command to seal off the Ganyang civilian port first, then the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, under the pressure of the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion, will have to go to sea to fight.

The second brother knows that you have always thought that the disappearance of the eldest brother has something to do with me, and you are very dissatisfied with me taking over the position of Patriarch.

But the second brother hopes that you can stand on the side of the whole family, and help our Cui family no matter what, and unplug the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet.

The addition of an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers to the coastal defense fleet is like a choke in the throat for our Cui family. "

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then said to Cui Hong in a deep voice: "Since you have said so, for the sake of the Cui family, I can give it a try.

But you have to prepare 200 million silver coins for me to deal with the three new warships of the Coastal Defense Fleet. I only rely on the 22 ships under my command. I am not sure. I must join forces with several other pirates. "

"Two million silver coins? Seventh brother, you also participated in yesterday's auction.

In order to buy the breech-loading single-shot rifle production equipment and bullet production line, the Cui family had almost used up all the cash they could use. Next, they had to continue to invest a lot of money in order to build the bullet factory. "

"Second boy, don't cry about being poor with me here, you want the horse to run, and you want the horse not to eat grass, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

If you want me to take action to destroy the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, you must give me 200 million silver coins! "

"Okay! Within three days, I will raise 200 million silver coins and hand them over to you."

When the middle-aged strong man was about to leave, he suddenly asked Cui Hong, "Where is the body of the elder brother?"

Cui Hong smiled wryly and said, "Seventh brother, how many times do I have to say that the disappearance of elder brother really has nothing to do with me. I still don't know whether elder brother is dead or alive."

The middle-aged strong man said gloomily: "Second brother, I hope what you said is true. If one day I find out that you really did what happened to elder brother, I will let you know why my nickname is Live Hades!"

After the middle-aged strong man left, Cui Hong's face darkened instantly, and a frightening cold light appeared in his eyes.

At this time, a secret door in the study was pushed open, and Cui Tao came out from the secret room.

"Father, can the group of pirates under Seventh Uncle beat the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet?

Many officers and soldiers of the Coastal Defense Fleet were recruited by the Zhou family from Shuonan Town, not to mention that the Coastal Defense Fleet has now added an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers. "

"You, Seventh Uncle, are not weak. You have several second-hand warships under your command, including two iron-clad battleships originally from the Bull Empire.

If he joins forces with several other pirates, it is still very possible to destroy the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet.

Besides, if you don't try it, who knows if you can beat it?

As a father, I actually hope that it will be a lose-lose ending! "

Ironclad battleships are warships made of wood or mixed materials. The outer layer is covered with thick iron armor. They generally use steam power. There are also a small number of ironclad battleships that are equipped with sails as an auxiliary.

Today, the iron-clad battleship has basically withdrawn from the naval sequence of the six major orc nations, but in the navies of various human nations, the iron-clad battleship is still a well-deserved capital ship.

Chapter 19 Bank Crisis

Hearing that his father Cui Hong hoped that the coastal defense fleet of the Zhou family would be defeated by the pirate fleet under the command of his seventh uncle Cui He, Cui Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cui Hong and Cui He are half-brothers. Cui Yi, who was a compatriot with Cui He's mother, suddenly disappeared mysteriously. As the second son of the same generation, Cui Hong can inherit the position of head of the Cui family.

Cui He has always believed that his elder brother's disappearance must be caused by Cui Hong.

He has always been aggrieved by Cui Hong's succession as the head of the family, and later he left the Cui family, became a pirate, and became the living King of Hades who ruled the coast of the Han and Tang Empires.

The 22 pirate ships under Cui He's hands are all owned by Cui He himself, and have no direct affiliation with the Cui family.

"Father, is it true that the misunderstanding between you and Seventh Uncle cannot be resolved?

If Uncle Qi can return to the family, our Cui family will add another fleet. "

"Untie it? Huh, he has been holding your uncle's missing shit bowl on his father's head. If he hadn't taken care of his brother's affection, what kind of king of Hades is he? I would have turned him into a king of hell!"

Seeing his father getting angry, Cui Tao quickly changed the subject, "Father, the rifle production equipment and the bullet production line have all been pulled to the factory, and several wolf technicians hired with high salaries have begun to guide the workers to install them."

Cui Hong nodded slightly, "Tao, this bullet factory is very important to our Cui family. Next, you need to spend more time on the bullet factory."

"Father, don't worry, I will go to the factory to watch every day before the rifle production equipment and bullet production line are put into production."

Then Cui Tao said: "Father, last night, that prodigal son of the Zhou family threw more than 200 million silver coins at the auction.

Four high-level warriors of human-bear hybrid blood, three high-level warriors, six mid-level warriors, and two beauties from the fox tribe were photographed.

According to that prodigal son's way of spending money, I suspect that the Zhou family may have acquired a huge amount of wealth recently. "

"It's really suspicious, because my father has sent someone to investigate.

Recently, you have to pay more attention to that girl from the Liu family. When you marry her, it will be no problem for you to be even more prodigal than that Zhou Rui! "

At the Liu's car dealership in the south of the city, Zhou Rui did not expect to meet Liu Yiqiu, the eldest lady of the Liu family, and Sun Xiushu, who he admired very much before.

Of course, the current Zhou Rui will not immediately stick to it and continue to kneel and lick Sun Xiushu like before.

Zhou Rui just nodded to Sun Xiushu and Liu Yiqiu, two beauties, and then concentrated on choosing a car.

Instead, Liu Yiqiu took the initiative to come over and greet Zhou Rui.

Knowing that Zhou Rui wanted to buy a car, Liu Yiqiu also asked the shopkeeper of the car dealership to give Zhou Rui a preferential price. Liu's car dealership is also owned by Liu Yiqiu's family.

After Zhou Rui spent 24 silver coins to buy eight jeeps produced by the Silver Wolf Empire and left, Sun Xiushu said to Liu Yiqiu angrily, "Sister Yiqiu, why are you giving that prodigal son a discount? The posture is not short of 4 silver coins at all."

The jeep that Zhou Rui bought was priced at 3.5 silver coins each at Liu's car dealership. Because of Liu Yiqiu's greeting, each car was 5000 silver coins cheaper.

Liu Yiqiu chuckled, "Xiu Shu, could it be that you are jealous when you see two more fox beauties beside Zhou Rui?"

"What? I'm jealous of that prodigal son? Sister Yiqiu, you don't know how much I hate that prodigal son!

Look at the way he was walking unsteadily just now, it's obvious that he didn't talk to those two vixens, it's really disgusting.

Sister Yiqiu, can we not mention that prodigal son, and mention him again, I will not be able to eat at night. "

"Hehe, Xiu Shu, then you can continue to choose a car, which one you like, I will give you an ex-factory price today.

I still have some things to go to shopkeeper Hu, so I'll find me in the office after I've chosen. "

"Sister Yiqiu, you are the best!"

In an office of Liu’s car dealership, shopkeeper Hu said to Liu Yiqiu with a sad face: “Miss, these 360 million silver coins are the last bit of working capital of the head office and 27 branches. , the whole car dealership doesn’t even have the money to purchase the goods.”

The Liu family has opened a Liu family car dealership in the 28 cities under the jurisdiction of Fengwu Town, which are used to sell cars imported from the six major orc countries, and also provide various after-sales services, including vehicle maintenance.

The Liujia Automobile dealership in Ganyang City is the main store, and the Liujia Automobile dealerships in the other 27 cities are all branches.

Liu Yiqiu said helplessly: "Uncle Hu, you also know what's going on at the bank.

Although we have tried our best to block the news about the real loss, we can’t hide it from everyone. Now many big families and orc merchants in Fengwu Town are flocking to various banks to exchange silver and gold coins. . "
