Last night, Zhou Rui received a prompt from the lottery system, telling him that he had completed the task of "defeating the attacking pirates".

According to the results obtained, Zhou Rui was rewarded with a three-star lottery card and 30 points.

Zhou Rui immediately used up this three-star lottery card and got four rewards.

50 kg gold bricks (20,000 pieces)

German Mauser 98k rifle (40,000 units)

Czech ZB-26 light machine gun (2000 units)

Caliber 7.92×57 mm rifle cartridges (200,000 cases of 1,500 rounds each)

The lottery system also gave a brief introduction to Zhou Rui about the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun.

Czech ZB-26 light machine gun, is a Czech development of a light machine gun before World War II, the whole gun weighs 9.6 kg, uses a caliber of 7.92×57 mm rifle bullets, the effective range of 1000 meters, the body can be loaded with 20 rounds of magazines, the barrel can be quickly replaced, skilled shooters with the help of the secondary shooter, the whole step of replacing the barrel only takes less than ten seconds.

Czech Republic?

A country has popped up that there is no other country in the world.

Zhou Rui is quite satisfied with the performance of this Czech ZB-26 light machine gun, but the 20-round magazine is a little weak in terms of sustained firepower.

The Golden Lion Imperial machine gun purchased by the garrison brigade before is a machine gun that is being phased out by the army of the Golden Lion Empire, with a caliber of 11.5 mm and a 25-round cartridge feed, and its continuous firepower is much stronger than that of the Czech ZB-26 light machine gun.

However, the Golden Lion Imperial machine gun weighed up to 65 kilograms, which was very inconvenient to move, had a relatively high failure rate, and was very expensive.

In comparison, Zhou Rui feels that the ZB-26 light machine gun is better, not to mention that the bullet of the ZB-26 light machine gun can also be used with the Mauser 98k rifle.

As for the problem of continuous firepower, it is completely possible to equip it with a few more ZB-26 light machine guns.

40,000 Mauser 98k rifles, 2,000 Czech ZB-26 light machine guns and 200,000 boxes of ammunition are enough for the garrison brigade to expand, even if the garrison adds 10 infantry regiments with more than 3,000 troops, these rifles, machine guns and ammunition will be enough.

Being able to complete the task of "defeating the attacking pirates" is all due to the Coastal Defense Fleet, even if the reward of the Coastal Defense Fleet is 5 million silver coins, it is not much.

After all, just the first reward of this Samsung lottery card - 20,000 pieces of 50 catties of gold bricks is equivalent to 10 million gold coins, that is, 100 million silver coins.

In Zhou Rui's office in the garrison brigade headquarters building, Song Limin pointed to Hu Wei, the fourth master under Cui He, the living king of Yama, and introduced to Zhou Rui: "Major General, this is Zhu Shaoqing, he and me, and Wang Luozi, are all from the same period of the Shuonan Naval Academy.

Back then, we were all excluded from the navy in Shuonan Town, and Zhu Shaoqing was the first to leave, but I didn't expect him to take refuge in the living king of Hades and become a pirate. ”

Zhu Shaoqing, that is, Hu Wei, was a little embarrassed at this time, "I don't want to be a pirate either, I was going to try my luck in the Liangyan Empire by boat, but I didn't expect to encounter pirates and robbers on the way."

In order to survive, I had to take refuge in Cui He, under the pseudonym Hu Wei, and became the fourth master under Cui He.

However, over the years, I have not done anything unreasonable, I mainly helped Cui He train the sailors on several warships. ”

You must know that in the previous life, the group of pirates who led to the destruction of the coastal defense fleet was led by Cui He, the living king of Yama.

Zhou Rui looked at Zhu Shaoqing, not knowing if he knew in his previous life, his classmate and friend died at the hands of his pirate fleet.

"Mr. Zhu, don't you know that Song Limin and Wang Hongchun are in our Zhou family's coastal defense fleet?" Zhou Rui asked.

Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly replied: "Major General, I really don't know, I have never paid attention to any news from the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City.

The sea area near Ganyang City is not an area where we often move.

If Cui He wasn't for the Ganyang Cui family, he wouldn't have the idea of fighting the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet, after all, the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet is also a regular navy. ”

At this time, Song Limin gave Zhu Shaoqing a look, and Zhu Shaoqing continued: "Major General, I'm ...... I hope to abandon the darkness and join the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City.

I don't know if the major general can take in me, a down-and-out person, regardless of his past suspicions. ”

Song Limin said beside him: "Major General, Zhu Shaoqing's ability is outstanding among our classmates in the same period.

I hope the Major General will give him a chance, and I would like to vouch for him. ”

Hearing that his old classmate Song Limin was willing to vouch for himself, Zhu Shaoqing's heart was very moved, and he immediately said categorically: "Major General, my wife and two sons have been living in Shishui City in Shuonan Town.

I will repair a letter and ask the mother and son to come to Ganyang City as soon as possible.

From now on, I, Zhu Shaoqing, am willing to be a major general and a Zhou family, and I will do my best to die! ”

Hearing that Zhu Shaoqing was willing to move his family to Ganyang City, the last bit of doubt in Zhou Rui's heart was dispelled, not to mention that even for the sake of Song Limin's face, Zhou Rui could not refuse Zhu Shaoqing to join the coastal defense fleet.

"Since Mr. Zhu is willing to submit to our Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, of course I welcome it with both hands.

By the way, Mr. Zhu, can you introduce to me the four warships captured by the coastal defense fleet? ”

"Yes, Major General."

The two ironclad battleships, the General and the Fierce General, are both lighthouse-class ironclad battleships of the former Barbarian Empire, with a full load displacement of 7,100 tons and a maximum speed of 12 knots.

It is equipped with 2 twin 25x caliber 280 mm main guns, 6 30x caliber 120 mm secondary guns, 7 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 4 460 mm torpedo tubes, and a full crew of 540 people.

The armored cruiser Brave, also from the former Brute Bull Empire, has a full load displacement of 3,800 tons and a current top speed of about 13.2 knots.

It is equipped with 2 twin 25x caliber 200 mm main guns, 4 30x caliber 120 mm secondary guns, 4 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 4 400 mm torpedo tubes, and a full crew of 300 people.

The Purple Eagle light cruiser, also from the former Brute Bull Imperial Navy, has a full load displacement of 1,900 tons and a maximum speed of about 15 knots.

It is equipped with 2 twin 30-caliber 150-mm main guns, 4 30-caliber 100-mm secondary guns, 3 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 3 400-mm torpedo tubes, and a full crew of 170 people.

The four warships mentioned above are all more than 15 years old, and like the original seven warships of the coastal defense fleet, they are all old-fashioned warships.

However, for the coastal defense fleet, which lacks warships, these four warships still have some value.

Song Limin suggested to Zhou Rui: "Major General, these four warships can be completely classified into the sequence of the coastal defense fleet, so that they can continue to exert their residual heat."

Moreover, among the more than 1,000 pirates captured this time, many of them can be absorbed into the coastal defense fleet, and of course, our coastal defense fleet will not want some extremely vicious people.

In terms of picking people, with Shaoqing's help, there should be no mistakes. ”

Zhu Shaoqing nodded, "Major General, these more than 1,000 pirates are all human beings, and many of them are forced to be pirates like me.

Presumably, many people are very willing to join the coastal defense fleet. ”

In fact, among the pirates captured by the coastal defense fleet, there were originally more than 300 orcs, but Song Limin drove all these orc pirates to a surrendered armed merchant ship, and then ordered the armed merchant ship to be sunk.

Song Limin did this, and he couldn't blame him for being cruel.

If the coastal defense fleet brings these beast pirates back to Ganyang City, soon the people from the major beast countries will come to the door and ask the coastal defense fleet to release the hunters from these major beast countries.

In the six orc countries, the orcs who plundered human merchant ships were not pirates, but hunters, but the object of their raids was not fierce beasts but humans.

Zhou Rui nodded, "This matter, if you think it's okay, then deal with it according to your ideas, but you must be careful not to recruit some black sheep into the coastal defense fleet, so as to avoid a rat poop spoiling a pot of soup." ”

"Major General, rest assured, we will strictly control the matter of absorbing those pirate prisoners."

After Song Limin and Zhu Shaoqing walked out of Zhou Rui's office, Song Limin said to Zhu Shaoqing with a smile: "Brother Shaoqing, I gave you a package ticket in front of the young general, don't let me look up in front of the young general in the future." ”

Zhu Shaoqing hurriedly said: "Limin, don't worry, I, Zhu Shaoqing, am not an ungrateful person.

What's more, the current coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City is exactly the place where I dream of being able to put what I have learned into practice. ”

"Brother Shaoqing, you will never regret your choice today.

The Rear Admiral attached great importance to the coastal defense fleet, and the Rear Admiral was also in contact with the Red Tiger Empire to prepare for the purchase of several more warships, including all-steel battleships.

In the future, our coastal defense fleet will definitely occupy an important place in the naval sequence of the entire Han and Tang Empires. ”

"What? How many warships are more to buy from the Red Tiger Empire?

Limin, with the financial resources of the Zhou family, can they support a fleet of this size? ”

"Hehe, Brother Shaoqing, I can only tell you that the background of the Zhou family is simply unfathomable."
