In the current lottery system, in addition to the four British Invincible-class battlecruisers and six German York-class armored cruisers, a two-star lottery card given by the lottery system in September was opened by Zhou Rui for two German Moltke-class battlecruisers.

The German Moltke-class battle cruiser had a full load displacement of 25,400 tons, 2 steam turbines and 24 boilers, and a maximum speed of 25.5 knots.

It is equipped with 5 twin 50-caliber 280-mm main guns, 12 45-caliber 150-mm secondary guns, 12 45-caliber 88-mm high-level dual-purpose guns, and 4 500-mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt was from 100 mm to 270 mm, the main deck armor was 65 mm, the main turret armor was 250 mm, and the crew was 1050 people.

Now the lottery system has stored two types of battlecruisers, the British Invincible-class battlecruisers have a larger caliber of main guns, and the German Moltke-class battlecruisers have thicker armor and a larger number of main guns.

I don't know the combat effectiveness of these two battlecruisers, who is stronger and who is weak?

It's a pity that Zhou Rui didn't dare to extract the warships stored in the lottery system to the real world for the time being because of his scruples about the six beast countries.

Which of these two battlecruisers is stronger will only be seen later.

But how long will this "future" take, Zhou Rui also felt very entangled.

He didn't know when it would be appropriate to extract the warships in the lottery system.

Although the Three Towns Oilfield and the Heigou Coal Mine were all pocketed by Zhou Rui, Zhou Rui could cover up the real reserves of the Three Towns Oilfield and the Heigou Coal Mine.

But six years later, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire joined forces to invade the western coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires, not just targeting the Three Towns Oil Fields and the Heigou Coal Mine.

As far as Zhou Rui knew, after the end of this war, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire forced several feudal towns on the western coast, ceded many oil fields and mines, and demanded huge war reparations.

This means that six years later, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire may still invade the western coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires in order to seize other oil fields and mines.

As the largest port city in the west, Ganyang City will definitely bear the brunt of the time.

Without a strong fleet, there is no way to defend Ganyang City under the attack of the orc army.

And Zhou Rui only relied on buying second-hand warships, but it was difficult to build a powerful fleet that could compete with the Red Tiger Empire Navy and the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

Therefore, if Zhou Rui wants to build a powerful fleet, he will have to rely on the battleships opened by the lottery system.

The problem is that extracting the warships from the lottery system may provoke more orc countries.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?

Zhou Rui shook his head, and when he thought about it, his brain hurt.

"Lao Wang, how is the crash course of the Naval Academy going?"

With the sufficient funds provided by Zhou Rui, Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin recruited more than 30 army instructors and more than 20 naval instructors from the Shuonan Army Academy and the Shuonan Naval Academy with high salaries and high settling-in allowances.

Now the Zhou family's naval academy and army academy have been initially established, and according to Zhou Rui's requirements, both academies have opened crash courses, and the students are selected from the garrison brigade, the 22nd independent brigade and the coastal defense fleet.

In addition, the cadets who graduated from the Shuonan Army Academy and the Shuonan Naval Academy this year were also attracted by the Zhou family's high military salary and high settling-in allowance, and came to Ganyang City one after another.

Because too many military academy graduates chose to come to Ganyang City to join the Zhou family, it also attracted the attention of Shuonan Jiedu Mansion.

For this reason, Shuonan Jiedu Mansion also sent a harshly worded telegram to Zhou Rui, warning the Zhou family in Ganyang not to "raise prices"!

Zhou Rui didn't pay attention to Shuonan Jiedu Mansion's warning at all, but asked Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin to continue to recruit graduates of Shuonan Army Academy and Shuonan Naval Academy through all relationships.

Fresh, past, all want! The minimum settling-in fee is 3,000 silver coins!

Wang Hongchun couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Rui mention the Zhou family's naval academy, "Major General, our Zhou family's naval academy, the first crash course has enrolled more than 600 students.

When these more than 600 cadets graduate, the shortage of junior officers in the coastal defense fleet will be greatly alleviated. ”

Zhou Rui frowned slightly, "How come there are only more than 600 students?" Didn't I tell Lao Song that the first crash course of the Naval Academy would recruit as many cadets as possible?

The crash course of the Army Academy of the Garrison Brigade and the 22nd Independent Brigade recruited 2,000 people in one go. ”

Wang Hongchun said with a wry smile: "Major General, the training of grassroots officers in the Navy is much more difficult than that of grassroots officers in the Army, so the recruited cadets must be literate.

At present, all the literate soldiers of our coastal defense fleet have been recruited to the first crash course of the Naval Academy. ”

When Zhou Rui heard this, he groaned for a while and said, "I have time to discuss with Lao Song.

In addition to recruiting students from within the coastal defense fleet, the Naval Academy also had to recruit literate students from the outside world.

In addition, I feel that the coastal defense fleet, the garrison brigade, and the 22nd Independent Brigade can carry out an operation to eradicate illiteracy.

It doesn't hurt to let the soldiers know a few more words. ”

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon of September 2, the Jinghai, Weihai, Tonghai, and Jiehai docked at the wharf of Ganyang Military Port.

Zhou Rui walked down the suspension ladder of the all-steel battleship Jinghai, and hurriedly said to Zhou Xiaozheng, who was in a wheelchair: "Dad, it's windy here in the military port, why did you come here in person?" ”

At this time, Wen Yu, who was pushing a wheelchair, said with a smile: "Your father has to come to greet you, a great hero, and he can't persuade him!"

The doctor said that your father has recovered well recently, and it is okay to come out to bask in the sun and blow the wind. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng immediately laughed and said, "Xiao Rui, you have made a great contribution to our Zhou family this time!"

not only captured Jingsheng City, but also incorporated the ace unit of the Zhenwei Army, the Second Mixed Brigade, which is worthy of being the son of my Zhou Xiaozheng! Hahaha! ”

At this time, an old man who followed Zhou Rui's parents said to Zhou Rui with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a hero out of a teenager!"

The head of the family and the elders of the clan, if they knew that our Jinshui Zhou family had another talent like Xiao Rui, I don't know how happy they would be! ”

Listening to this old man's words, Zhou Rui knew that he was from the Jinshui Zhou family of the Bajin Empire.

But sir, when did I become the hero of your Jinshui Zhou family?

Zhou Xiaozheng introduced Zhou Rui: "Xiao Rui, this is your seventh uncle Zhou Jingtong.

Your seventh uncle is one of the elders of the Jinshui Zhou family of the Bajin Empire. ”

Father's face still has to be given, Zhou Rui hurriedly gave Zhou Jing a junior salute, "Zhou Rui has seen the seventh uncle. ”

"Hehe, the old man admires young talents like you Xiao Rui the most, and we will be closer to each other in the future.

Presumably Xiaorui, you also know, the old man is here this time......"

Before Zhou Jingtong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhou Xiaozheng, "Uncle Seven, Xiao Rui has been on the boat for a day and a night, let Xiao Rui rest first, and talk about other things tomorrow!" ”

"Hehe, Xiaozheng is right, I have to let Xiao Rui rest well, and the old man will discuss with Xiao Rui tomorrow about buying a boat."

Back in Zhou's mansion, the room where Zhou Xiaozheng lived, Zhou Rui couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what's going on with this seventh uncle?" ”

Zhou Xiaozheng sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the Jinshui Zhou family would take the initiative to come to the door, which confirms that sentence, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks."

If the Jinshui Zhou family sent others to Ganyang City, and dared to brazenly buy the six all-steel battleships of the first formation of the coastal defense fleet, I would have to slap him a few ears.

The problem is that the Jinshui Zhou family sent the seventh uncle.

When your grandfather and grandmother were still alive, our family's conditions were not good, and if it weren't for the Seventh Uncle's frequent help, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to practice martial arts at all.

After your grandfather and grandmother died of illness, the funeral expenses were all paid by the seventh uncle.

Even the capital I used to form a hunting group in Ganyang City was given by Uncle Seventh when I left Jinshui City. ”

When Zhou Rui heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

, this favor is a big debt!
