The end of the military era

"I didn't say that the new warship was built by the orc country, but where it was built is a secret."

Song Limin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Major General, is it possible that the new warship has the same weapons as the two brigades?"

"Yes, they were all bought through special channels!

It's just that these new warships can't see the light, and they may cause some troubles for our Zhou family. "

Zhou Rui, who was tangled and tangled, finally decided to extract the warships reserved in the lottery system.

Anyway, it is going to be taken out after all, so we can't let so many warships have been eating ashes in the lottery system just because they are concerned about the six great orc nations!

What's more, the lottery system has already reserved six battlecruisers with a firepower comparable to that of a battleship with full main guns. Even if any orc country takes any action against the Zhou family for this, the Zhou family will not be unreasonable with these six battlecruisers. There is no power to fight back!

At this time, in a luxurious private room of the Nine Stars Hotel, a young man said to Zhou Jingtong with some reluctance: "Grandpa, we took Xiangshi Island in exchange for a pile of scrap metal, this deal is too bad!

Zhou Xiaozheng, Zhou Rui and his son didn't even think about your kindness back then! "

This young man is Zhou Tao, the grandson of Zhou Jingtong, and he accompanied Zhou Jingtong to Ganyang City this time.

Zhou Tao has already been promoted to a high-level martial artist this year.

Zhou Jingtong stroked his beard and said: "The five all-steel battleships still have a certain combat effectiveness, otherwise the owner would not agree to this deal.

You must know that our Jinshui Zhou family's naval fleet didn't even have an all-steel battleship before.

After adding those five all-steel battleships, our Jinshui Zhou family's naval fleet, even if it faces Danyang Chang's naval fleet equipped with four fortress-level all-steel battleships, at least it will not be defenseless.

As for the kindness, Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Rui still thought about it, otherwise they would not have come up with five all-steel battleships to reach this deal with our Jinshui Zhou family.

What's more, didn't they give away so many heads for nothing, one must be content. "

"But I still think it's not worthwhile to exchange Xiangshi Island. There is a city on Xiangshi Island with a population of 10,000+."

Zhou Jingtong suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Silver Wolf Empire has been doing more and more activities on Xiangshi Island in the past few years. Our Jinshui Zhou family gave Xiangshi Island to Ganyang Zhou's family, which is equivalent to throwing a burden.

If Xiangshi Island is in the hands of our Jinshui Zhou family in the future, it will be snatched away by the Silver Wolf Empire.

The prestige of our Jinshui Zhou family in the country will definitely suffer a heavy blow.

The Ganyang Zhou family came from our Jinshui Zhou family. The Han and Tang Empires where the Ganyang Zhou family lived were also the suzerain of our Bajin Empire.

Now handing over Xiangshi Island to Ganyang Zhou's family is justified in terms of emotion and reason.

In this way, even if Xiangshi Island is occupied by the Silver Wolf Empire in the future, the pressure of public opinion does not need to be borne by our Jinshui Zhou family. "

Zhou Tao couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this, "I didn't expect there to be such a doorway inside."

"Hehe, Xiaotao, you still have a lot to learn."

Chapter 73 Mutiny

On the morning of September 9th, six violent-class all-steel battleships sent to Fengsha Island for maintenance, 7 large armored cruisers, 2 light cruisers and 4 destroyers dispatched by the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Imperial Navy, Escorted to Ganyang Military Port.

The cost of repairing the six fury-class all-steel battleships totaled 120 million silver coins. Zhou Rui directly chose to pay with the gold coupons from the Red Tiger Empire and handed it over to Fraso, the logistics minister of the Fifth Fleet.

"Master Zhou, Grideye and I have established a relationship with the Admiralty.

You only need to pay 1650 million silver coins to get five starry sky-class all-steel battleships of our Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire.

The unit price of each Starry Sky Class has been reduced to 330 million silver coins through the efforts of Grideye and me.

Because these five star-class ships have been in service for a long time, they are all in good condition, and they should not be a problem if they are used for more than ten years. I can assure Master Zhou of this. "

I just took out five all-steel battleships to exchange islands with Jinshui Zhou's family, but I didn't expect another five all-steel battleships to come to my door.

After Zhou Rui and Zhou Jingtong signed the exchange agreement, the lottery system reminded Zhou Rui to complete the task of "reaching an agreement to exchange Xiangshi Island".

A two-star lottery card given by completing the task has been used by Zhou Rui, and two German Moltke-class battlecruisers have been issued.

In this way, the number of battlecruisers reserved in the lottery system increased to eight.

Although there are eight more powerful battlecruisers, Zhou Rui is still very interested in the five starry sky-class all-steel battleships with a full load displacement of 11000 tons.

Even if the coastal defense fleet is not needed in the future, it can be exchanged for some good things.

Rare things are more expensive. At present, in all human countries, all-steel battleships are stronger than gold.

"Thank you General Fraso for your help. Don't worry, our Zhou family will not let General Fraso help you in vain."

"Hehe, I just like a straightforward and generous friend like Master Zhou!"

After Fraso left, Zhou Rui asked people to contact Xiyun Liu's family and Jinshui Zhou's family respectively, and agreed on a specific time to exchange warships for islands.

On the afternoon of September 9, Zhou Rui met his two friends Wang Kui and Xie Dong in the office.

Now Wang Kui and Xie Dong have joined the Zhou family's army under the influence of their respective families.

Although Zhou Rui once said that when Wang Kui and Xie Dong joined the Zhou family's army, they could only start from the top soldiers, but when Wang Kui and Xie Dong really joined the Zhou family's army, Zhou Rui took care of them.

Wang Kui was directly awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Navy and became a trainee officer of the Coastal Defense Fleet.

Xie Dong was directly awarded the rank of Second Lieutenant of the Army and became a trainee staff officer of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Garrison Brigade.

"Wang Shao, Xie Shao, how are you? Are you still used to it?" Zhou Rui asked with a smile.

Wang Kui hurriedly said, "Major General, please don't call us that in the future, just call me Da Kui."

Xie Dong followed up and said, "Young General, you can call me Dongzi from now on."

Seeing Wang Kui and Xie Dong's cautious appearance, Zhou Rui secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that once Wang Kui and Xie Dong joined the Zhou family's army, they would no longer be the same as before.

"You don't have to be restrained, just sit where you want.

Dakui, Dongzi, if you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly.

Although you joined my Zhou family's coastal defense army and garrison brigade respectively, which changed our identities, Nan Batian, Xi Batian, and Bei Batian remained unchanged. "

After the three chatted for a while, Wang Kui took the initiative to ask: "Major General, I was originally assigned to the all-steel battleship Yongjia, but now Yongjia is about to be given to Jinshui Zhou of the Bajin Empire." Home.

Then those of us officers and soldiers on the Yongjia, I don’t know what to do next? "

Zhou Rui smiled, "Don't worry, I've already bought a batch of new ships, and the officers and men of your Yongjia will be assigned to new battleships soon.

Da Kui, you have to study hard in the crash course at the Naval Academy. I hope that one day, I can personally award you the post of captain of a battleship! "

Wang Kui immediately stood up from the sofa and gave a military salute to Zhou Rui, "Don't worry, Major General, I will definitely study hard and not let the Major General down!"

No one wants to spend their whole life idling and waiting to die. Now Zhou Rui has given Wang Kui a chance to change, and Wang Kui cherishes it very much.
