The end of the military era

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Old Song, there is no shortage of warships in the coastal defense fleet, but there is a serious shortage of personnel. Next, you must train recruits as soon as possible. Don't forget that I plan to buy more from the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy." How many warships!"

Song Limin patted his chest and assured Zhou Rui, "Major General, don't worry, the Coastal Defense Fleet will step up training and will recruit more recruits.

No matter how many warships the major general buys, the coastal defense fleet will definitely be fully staffed! "

After discussing with Song Limin, Zhou Rui decided to combine the flagship Zhenhai, the all-steel battleship Jinghai, and the newly acquired two Iron Fist-class all-steel battleships named Weihai and Jinghai. The battleship formation of the Coastal Defense Fleet is the first formation.

The captains of the Weihai and Jinghai were held by Hao Desheng, the former captain of the Golden Dragon, and Liu Tiecheng, the captain of the Yinlong, respectively, and Song Limin was concurrently the commander of the first formation.

Pinghai, Anhai, and two Haima-class armored cruisers named Tonghai and Jiehai will form an armored cruiser formation, and the sequence is the second formation.

The captain of the Tonghai was Chen Yongchang, the former captain of the iron-ribbed wooden hull of the Beifeng, and the captain of the Jiehai, under the strong recommendation of Song Limin, Zhou Rui agreed to be Zhu Shaoqing.

Cai Mingan, the captain of Ping Hai, will also serve as the commander of the second formation.

The iron-clad battleship General, the iron-clad battleship Relentless, and the armored cruiser Brave, captured from the pirates, will form the third formation with the armored cruiser Ryan, which has newly joined the Coastal Defense Fleet.

The captains of these four warships were all the chief mates of the original coastal defense fleet. Shi Shan, the captain of the General, will also serve as the commander of the third formation.

The light cruiser Dawn, the light cruiser Ziying, the iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships Dongfeng, Nanfeng, Xifeng, and Beifeng, and the offshore gunships Jinlong and Yinlong will form the fourth formation.

The captains of these eight warships were all chief mates or second mates of the original coastal defense fleet. Xue Tai, the captain of the Shuguang, will also serve as the commander of the fourth formation.

The first formation and the second formation, as the main formations of the coastal defense fleet, will undertake the main task of the coastal defense fleet to fight against the enemy.

The main task of the third formation and the fourth formation after that is to cooperate with the five forts to guard the Ganyang military port and Ganyang civilian port, and will cooperate with the main formation to fight when necessary.

Chapter 34 departure

With the addition of two Iron Fist-class all-steel battleships and two Seahorse-class armored cruisers to the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, the undercurrent in Ganyang City against the Zhou family quickly disappeared.

On the evening of June 6th, in a study of the Cui family, Cui Tao said to Cui Hong in a deep voice: "Father, I have already checked.

The five warships Zhou Jiaxin got were all from the Zhenwei Navy Fleet.

These included the two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers that Zhenwei Town had just spent 2500 million silver coins from the Flying Leopard Empire.

The last one was the armored cruiser USS Ryan of the Zhenwei Navy Fleet.

The reason why the Zhou family was able to get these five warships was because of the help of Sun Tong, the commander of the original Zhenwei Navy Fleet.

Now Zhenwei Jiedu's mansion is in chaos. I heard that Zhenwei Jiedu made Xu Wanpeng faint because of this matter. "

Cui Hong said sadly: "The luck of the Zhou family is too good. The four warships were all captured by the Flying Leopard Empire and captured by the Red Tiger Empire Navy. ships and sub-capital ships.

Shen Xiao sent me a telegram this morning, ostensibly asking our Cui family to maintain the stability of Ganyang City. In fact, the meaning is to ask our Cui family not to provoke the Zhou family at this time.

With the Zhou family's four all-steel battleships and four large armored cruisers in their hands, even Shen Xiao now has to give the Zhou family some face.

It seems that the plan to suppress the Zhou family cannot continue. "

Shen Xiao is the current Fengwu Jiedu Envoy.

Cui Tao asked a little unwillingly: "Father, do you just look at the Zhou family's strength and grow up day by day?"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Cui Hong's eyes, "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, let the Zhou family run rampant for a while first!

Now for our Cui family, the most important thing is to expand a few reinforcement groups as soon as possible.

Only when our Cui family's own strength is strong, when the opportunity comes, can we launch a fatal blow to the Zhou family! "

In the early morning of June 6, thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment of the Garrison Brigade had already formed several neat square formations in the barracks.

Zhou Rui looked at the thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment, turned his head and told Song Shenghe, the head of the First Infantry Regiment, "Big head, there are many fierce beasts in Panlong Mountain.

Moreover, there has been no outbreak of beast tide in that space-time node for several years, and it may break out again at some point. You must be extra careful when you take the first infantry regiment to garrison this time, and you must not be careless. "

For the task of stationing at the different time and space node in Panlong Mountain in the second half of the year, Zhou Rui transferred many veterans from the other three infantry regiments, strengthened it to the first infantry regiment, and added more than 800 new recruits who had just been recruited. Into the [-]st Infantry Regiment.

Today, the First Infantry Regiment of the garrison brigade consists of eight infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, two supply battalions and one regiment-owned guard company, with a total strength of more than 5000 people.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the First Infantry Regiment, Zhou Rui also equipped the First Infantry Regiment with 200 Czech ZB26 light machine guns.

Coupled with the original 45 caliber 11.5mm heavy machine guns of the First Infantry Regiment, even the most elite army units of the six orc countries should not have such a luxurious machine gun configuration.

Zhou Rui knew that at the end of September, there would be a wave of beasts at the different time and space nodes of Panlong Mountain, and even a few lord-level beasts would appear.

But there is no way to explain this matter clearly, Zhou Rui can only try his best to strengthen the strength and weaponry of the First Infantry Regiment.

Song Shenghe nodded with a serious face, "After entering Panlong Mountain, the First Infantry Regiment will always be in a state of first-level combat readiness."

Zhou Rui also said: "Don't slacken the training of recruits, pay special attention to live ammunition training, and don't be afraid of the consumption of ammunition. The brigade headquarters will replenish ammunition and other supplies to the First Infantry Regiment at any time."

"Don't worry, Major General. After half a year, I will definitely bring back a real main force."

After the first infantry regiment set off, Wang Biao, the commander of the second infantry regiment, and Liu Mo, the commander of the third infantry regiment, joined Zhou Rui together.

"Major General, you can't favor one group over another. Since the first regiment can expand to more than 5000 people, do the second, third, and fourth regiments have to expand again according to the organization of the first regiment?"

As Wang Biao spoke, he carefully looked at Zhou Rui's expression.

Today's Zhou Rui is no longer the former second young master of the Zhou family. Zhou Rui now has great prestige in the entire garrison brigade, including the coastal defense fleet, so Wang Biao is a little cautious when talking to Zhou Rui .

Liu Mo then said, "Major General, when will that light machine gun be equipped with the other three infantry regiments?"

Zhou Rui trusted Wang Biao and Liu Mo very much. After all, in the last life, they had already proved their loyalty to the Zhou family with their lives, so Zhou Rui didn't care about their petty thoughts.

What's more, as long as you are a competent officer, who doesn't want to have more troops and better weapons.

Zhou Rui then smiled and said: "Since Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu asked, I just happened to study it with you.

Next, the garrison brigade will continue to recruit recruits, so I plan to expand the establishment of the second, third, and fourth regiments to be the same as the first regiment.

It's just that in this way, the proportion of veterans in the second, third, and fourth regiments will drop a lot. I'm a little worried about this. "

Upon hearing this, Wang Biao hurriedly said: "Young general, veterans are trained from recruits.

Now our garrison brigade has the conditions in all aspects. After about half a year of hard training, recruits can basically be called veterans. "

Liu Mo also quickly echoed, "Young General, what Wang Dabiao said is reasonable, it's all about training anyway, why not train more recruits."

"That's good! I will tell my second uncle that the second, third, and fourth regiments will be expanded again, and the organization will refer to the first regiment.

By the way, I have already prepared that light machine gun for the other three regiments. With my warrant, you can go to the material warehouse in the military port, and each regiment will receive 200 guns. "

Wang Biao and Liu Mo didn't expect Zhou Rui to agree to expand the other three infantry regiments so readily. The next two complimented Zhou Rui, and praised Zhou Rui as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.

It wasn't until Zhou Rui wrote two warrants to receive 200 Czech ZB26 light machine guns that Wang Biao and Liu Mo were sent away.
