The end of the military era

Zhou Rui's heart skipped a beat at Flasso's words, "General Flasso, General Grideye, and the situation of the Han and Tang Empires, you all must be very clear.

Each feudal town has a huge army, so our Zhou family will find another way, and want to rely on a naval fleet to gain a foothold in the Han and Tang Empire.

In the future, as long as the two generals can build a bridge for our Zhou family and allow our Zhou family to purchase more warships, our Zhou family will not let the two generals help for nothing. "

Flasso and Grideye glanced at each other, and then Flasso lowered his voice and said, "I don't know if Master Zhou is interested in the starry sky-class all-steel battleship of our Red Tiger Empire?

According to the plan of the Ministry of the Navy, the existing five starry sky-class all-steel battleships of the six fleets of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire will all be retired from active service. "

Chapter 39 Film Company

The Xingkong class is the first all-steel battleship of the Red Tiger Empire, and a total of 14 ships have been built.

However, 9 of them were sunk in several foreign wars of the Red Tiger Empire, and were accidentally sunk during training.

星空级全钢制战列舰，满载排水量11000吨，最高航速16节，装备了2座双联装35倍口径280毫米主炮，6门35倍口径200毫米副炮。

12门四十倍口径65毫米速射炮，10门30毫米高射炮，12挺13毫米高射机枪，4具450毫米鱼雷发射管。

The side armor belt is 100 mm to 180 mm, the main deck armor is 50 mm, the main turret armor is 240 mm, and the crew is full of 680 people.

According to the various performances of the starry sky-class all-steel battleships, the navies of the six major orc countries are relatively backward, especially after the navies of the six major orc countries have equipped all-main gun battleships one after another.

But no matter what, the starry sky class also belongs to the category of all-steel battleships, and it is still one of the most powerful battleships in the navies of various human countries.

You must know that among the navies of many human countries, iron-clad battleships are well-deserved capital ships.

Five starry sky-class all-steel battleships were suddenly placed in front of Zhou Rui, Zhou Rui would not be interested.

"General Fraso, as long as the price is right, I am very willing to buy all five Starry Sky-class all-steel battleships."

Grideye next to him couldn't help but said with emotion at this time: "Master Zhou is really rich and powerful. If Master Zhou is really willing to buy those five starry sky-class all-steel battleships, Fraso and I should be able to help."

When Zhou Rui said goodbye to Flasso and Grideye, in the pockets of Frasso and Grideye, there were five more Liu Family Gold Tickets with a face value of 1000 gold coins.

As for whether Zhou Rui can buy the five starry sky-class all-steel battleships?

How much does each star-class all-steel battleship cost?

It all depends on Fraso and Grideye to operate through relationships. They promised Zhou Rui that they would try their best to facilitate this deal and would try their best to help Zhou Rui get a low price.

After Zhou Rui left, Grideye frowned and asked Fraso: "The empire's embargo on the sale of human countries has not been lifted. We have spared no effort to sell so many all-steel battleships to this young master Zhou. What could go wrong?"

Fraso smiled and said, "What could go wrong?

We sold warships to the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City before, but all of them were approved by the Imperial Navy Department.

Besides, selling some outdated warships to humans in exchange for large sums of money can build more battleships with full main guns.

The outcome of future naval battles will depend on the number of battleships with full main guns!

What's more, it is not only our Red Tiger Empire that sells warships to humans, other orc nations seem to have begun to sell some retired warships to some human countries and forces. "

Grideye still frowned, "I'm worried that if this continues, the human navy will become stronger and stronger."

Fraso laughed suddenly and said, "My lord general, aren't you worrying a little too much.

Human forces like the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet, even if they sell them dozens of all-steel battleships, so what?

Without shipbuilding capabilities, there is almost no ability to repair warships, and even artillery shells have to be imported. What kind of threat can such a fleet pose to our six orc nations? "

Grideye shrugged, "Maybe what you said makes sense, of course I'm just worried, the money should still be earned."

"Haha, Grideye, you are right. If we can facilitate the transaction of five Starry Sky-class all-steel battleships, the two of us will definitely make a lot of money!"

Zhou Rui's drinking capacity skyrocketed because of taking the "Elementary Physical Fitness Enhancement Potion". After two consecutive drinks, Zhou Rui was only slightly drunk.

Zhou Rui took his younger sister Zhou Yue, Annie, Aisha and a large group of bodyguards. Just as they were about to leave the Nine Stars Hotel, Hulk, the chief manager of the Nine Stars Hotel, led a 40-year-old human and suddenly stopped him. Zhou Rui.

"Master Zhou, this is director Fang Dongru, he has something to ask you for." Hulk said to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui is no stranger to Fang Dongru. Now Fang Dongru is already a well-known film director, and he will become even more famous in the future. He even made two films with a box office of more than 2000 million silver coins.

"Master Zhou, my humble Fang Dongru, I wonder if I can take up a little of your time, so I invite you to have a cup of tea.

Miss Chu Yingying and Miss Zhao Yan are also waiting for Master Zhou. "

Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan are both popular movie actresses in the Han and Tang Empires. Until Zhou Rui was reborn, these two movie actresses were still active in the movie industry, and they had already become movie queens.

What would a great director and two popular movie stars do for him?

Could it be that you let yourself invest in making movies?

No matter what he is looking for, Zhou Rui is still very willing to meet two beautiful female movie stars.

"I admire Director Fang's name, and it is my honor to drink tea with Director Fang, Miss Chu Yingying, and Miss Zhao Yan."

In another private room of the Nine Stars Hotel, Zhou Rui met Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan, two female movie stars, and felt that they were more beautiful in real life than in the movies.

Chu Yingying is definitely a beauty of Liu Yiqiu's level, and Zhao Yan is at least a beauty of Sun Xiushu's level.

"I don't know what the hell Director Fang, Ms. Chu and Ms. Zhao invited me to come over for? It's not really for tea! Hehe."

Fang Dongru hurriedly gave Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan a look, and Chu Yingying said softly, "Master Zhou, I take the liberty of inviting you here this time, and I hope to invite you to join the Zixing Films founded by the three of us."

Zhao Yan followed up and said: "Master Zhou, to be honest, Purple Star Films is currently in a huge financial crisis and urgently needs a large amount of capital investment.

Sister Chu and I learned that Young Master Zhou is the biggest local tyrant in Ganyang City, so we asked Director Fang to invite you here. "

It turned out that Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan each invested 100 million silver coins to establish a film company two years ago, and later brought the famous director Fang Dongru into this film company.

However, the three of them were busy making movies, so they handed over the company to a person named Xia Zhang to manage it.

This Xia Zhang is definitely a capable person. Relying on the influence of Chu Yingying, Zhao Yan, and Fang Dongru, through continuous mortgage loans from banks in various places, using only the principal of 200 million silver coins, In less than two years, a theater chain was established for Zixing Pictures.

Today, there are 160 movie theaters under Zixing Films, covering most of the cities in the six towns in Southwest China.

The Six Southwest Towns refer to the six vassal towns in the southwestern region of the Han and Tang Empires, including Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town, Boting Town, Weinan Town, Weibei Town and Deyang Town.

Since the film industry of the Han and Tang Empires is currently in a booming stage, the people of the Han and Tang Empires are also willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch movies. The theater chain of Zixing Films can be said to be making money every day.

However, in order to build these 160 movie theaters, Zixing Films has already borrowed more than 4000 million silver coins from various banks.

Next, Xia Zhang is still not satisfied, and hopes to continue to use leveraged commercial methods to expand the theater chain of Zixing Films to the remaining eighteen towns of the Han and Tang Empire, as well as Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empire.

The problem is that Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan are only in their 20s after all, and Xia Zhang's aggressive business operations have scared them into sleepless nights. The loan of more than 4000 million silver coins has almost overwhelmed Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan.

The two of them only hope to maintain the scale of Zixing Films, relying on the ticket sales of 160 movie theaters, and repay the loan of more than 4000 million silver coins as soon as possible.
