The end of the military era

Seeing that Zhou Rui and Chen Bin froze, Wang Kui hurriedly tried to persuade him, "We are all brothers, so please don't say a word.

By the way, both Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan have come to Ganyang City to shoot movies. I heard that they are staying at the Nine Stars Hotel. Let's go to the Nine Stars Hotel for dinner. Maybe we can meet these two popular movie stars! "

Chapter 38 Packaging

Because Chen Bin was angry with Zhou Rui, he walked away without going to the Jiuxing Hotel for dinner.

In a high-class private room of the Nine Stars Hotel, when Zhou Rui, Wang Kui, and Xie Dong were pushing glasses to change glasses, Wang Kui said to Zhou Rui: "Young Master Zhou, Chen Bin is that kind of virtue, don't be too fussy with him." , I will set up a table in a few days.

They've been brothers for many years, there's no need to turn their heads just because of two jokes. "

Zhou Rui put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said in a calm voice: "Young Master Wang, Young Master Xie, you also know that Chen Bin and I don't actually get along so well with you.

What's more, like me and Chen Bin's identities, some things cannot be avoided. "

Wang Kui and Xie Dong glanced at each other, and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xie Dong hesitated and said to Zhou Rui: "Young Master Zhou, now that you are the head of the Zhou family, I wonder if you can arrange a position for me in the garrison brigade.

You also know the situation of my family. It is impossible for my family to arrange anything for me except to eat and wait to die. "

Zhou Rui did not expect that Xie Dong would propose to join the garrison brigade, "Young Master Xie, are you kidding me?

You join our Zhou family's garrison brigade, can your family agree? "

Xie Dong laughed self-deprecatingly, "Some people may wish that I would stay away from Xie's business as much as possible."

Zhou Rui hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Master Xie, you should think carefully about this matter!

Although I am the head of the Zhou family, it is impossible for me to act recklessly in the garrison brigade. If you want to join the garrison brigade, you can only start as a soldier at the bottom. "

Xie Dong smiled and said: "Young Master Zhou, we have been in a relationship for so many years, you have to let me start as the monitor!"

"I'm worried that if you become the squad leader, you will bring down all the soldiers in my squad."

"Haha, Young Master Zhou still understands me.

Going to the garrison brigade can only be a soldier, so I really have to think about it. "

Wang Kui said with a smile at this time: "Young Master Zhou, if the garrison brigade is short of a quartermaster or something, you can consider me.

Don't worry, when I get the money, we can split the account fifty-fifty, haha! "

"Young Master Wang, you want to be greedy for my money and split the bill with me fifty-fifty. I can only say two words, righteousness!"

When Zhou Rui was talking to Wang Kui and Xie Dong, Li Donghu walked up to Zhou Rui and whispered something to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui immediately said to Wang Kui and Xie Dong: "Young Master Wang, Young Master Xie, what a coincidence, I have a friend who has just arrived in Ganyang City and has already checked into the Nine Stars Hotel, so I have lost my company."

Wang Kui said indifferently: "Go and do your work!

But don't forget to settle the bill! "

Xie Dong followed up and said: "Young Master Zhou, Young Master Wang and I are going to Wanhualou's casino to play some games.

How about we continue drinking at Wanhualou in the evening?Tonight please! "

With Wang Kui and Xie Dong, Zhou Rui felt very relaxed. Besides, Zhou Rui didn't have many friends. Zhou Rui still cherishes the friendship that has been tested in the previous life.

"Okay, go to Wanhualou tonight, I have to get back what I spent at noon today."

In a luxurious room of the Nine Stars Hotel, Flasso, the logistics chief of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, pointed to another rear admiral of the Red Tiger Empire and introduced to Zhou Rui: "Master Zhou, this is our Red Tiger Rear Admiral Gridayer, Chief of Logistics of the Sixth Fleet of the Imperial Royal Navy."

Grideye immediately smiled and said in a somewhat weird tone: "Master Zhou, it's a great honor to meet you."

Zhou Rui also hurriedly said with a smile: "Welcome General Grideye to Ganyang City as a guest, I wonder if General Grideye's visit to Ganyang City has brought me any surprises this time."

Flasso next to him answered, "Master Zhou, Grideye has brought you a very big surprise this time."

Grideye then said: "One tornado-class all-steel battleship of the Flying Leopard Empire, one blizzard-class all-steel battleship of the Flying Leopard Empire, three ice-class light cruisers of the Flying Leopard Empire, two Flying Leopard Empire I don’t know if this surprise is a big surprise for Young Master Zhou?”

Zhou Rui heard that the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire was planning to sell all the warships captured by the Flying Leopard Empire to him!

"This surprise is big enough. As long as the price is right, I am willing to accept all of these surprises."

The Tornado class is the next level of all-steel battleship built after the Flying Leopard Empire's Blizzard class.

满载排水量18900吨，最高航速20节，装备了2座双联装四十倍口径320毫米主炮，6座双联装45倍口径180毫米副炮。

20门45倍口径80毫米速射炮，20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 150 mm to 260 mm, the main deck armor is 65 mm, the main turret armor is 300 mm, and the crew is full of 900 people.

The Frozen-class light cruiser has a full load displacement of 4200 tons and a top speed of 26 knots.

装备有2座双联装三十倍口径180毫米主炮，10门三十倍口径80毫米副炮，6门30毫米高射炮，8挺13毫米高射机枪，4具500毫米鱼雷发射管，舰员满额为320人。

The Xia Tian class destroyer has a full load displacement of 1100 tons and a top speed of 30 knots.

装备有6门三十倍口径80毫米舰炮，4门30毫米高射炮，4挺13毫米高射机枪，4座双联装500毫米鱼雷发射管，舰员满额为130人。

Hearing that Zhou Rui was willing to buy all two all-steel battleships, three light cruisers and two destroyers, Grideye couldn't help showing a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"2000 million silver coins! Master Zhou, you only need to pay 2000 million silver coins, and these seven warships are all yours. In addition, our Sixth Fleet can also give you a batch of matching artillery shells, which are definitely worth more than 200 million silver coins. It is impossible to lower the price.”

"The price of 2000 million silver coins is not a problem, but I want to know, what is the current situation of the seven troops?"

"Master Zhou, although the seven warships were injured in the naval battle, they have been repaired and have not affected their combat effectiveness. I can assure you of this."

"I believe that General Grideye will not lie to me on this point, so the price is 2000 million silver coins as General Grideye said. When will the transaction be possible?"

Two all-steel battleships, three light cruisers, two destroyers, plus more than 200 million supporting shells, the price of 2000 million silver coins is still acceptable to Zhou Rui.

Hearing this, Grideye couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Master Zhou is indeed a good friend. This time, Master Zhou has helped our Sixth Fleet a lot."

Seeing that Grideye was so happy, Zhou Rui reckoned that maybe the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, like the Fifth Fleet, had a deficit in its accounts. In order to cope with the inspection by the Red Tiger Empire's General Staff Headquarters, they rushed to sell warships. .

What Grideye said next confirmed Zhou Rui's guess.

"Master Zhou, I think you also know that our Red Tiger Empire's staff headquarters will conduct a thorough investigation of the Royal Navy's six fleets.

So I hope you can announce to the public that the purchase of these seven warships only cost 1300 million silver coins. "

"No problem. I'd be more than happy to do this little favor for General Grideye."

After negotiating the deal, Zhou Rui asked the Nine Stars Hotel to prepare a large table of food and drink, and then began to exchange glasses with Fraso and Gridier.

At the wine table, Fraso asked Zhou Rui: "Master Zhou, after your Zhou family bought seven new warships this time, I wonder if you will buy other warships in the future?"
