"What? Fauber, is the information you getting reliable? Zhou Rui asked the housekeeper Zhou Fu with a shocked face.

At this time, more than a week had passed since the meeting in the City Lord's Mansion.

The senior Xiong brothers were officially appointed by Zhou Rui as personal bodyguards, and the nine of them were also temporarily left by Zhou Rui.

Feelings are cultivated, although Zhou Rui very much hopes to let Hu Yi and them immediately form the ghosts of the previous life, but reason tells Zhou Rui that they can't let Hu Yi and them out yet.

Zhou Fu said with a solemn face: "Young General, this news is coming from within the Cui family, and it should be reliable." ”

At this time, Zhou Rui and Zhou Fu were in the bedroom where Zhou Xiaozheng lived, in addition to Zhou Xiaozheng who was lying on the bed, Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin were also there.

Zhou Xiaorong then said in a deep voice: "General, young general, as far as I know, there are many beast pirates under the command of Cui He, the living king of Yama.

Through these orc pirates, Cui He, the Living Yama King, purchased many second-hand warships of orc countries, including even two ironclad battleships.

If Cui He, the living king of Yama, contacts several other pirates, with the current situation of the coastal defense fleet, it is really difficult to be sure of victory. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng's face was very calm, and he asked Song Limin, "Limin, what do you say?" ”

Song Limin pondered for a moment, "General, Major General, although our coastal defense fleet has just received the Zhenhai, Pinghai and Anhai.

However, due to the transfer of a large number of officers and men from the original seven old ships, plus the transfer of many gunners from the fortress heavy artillery regiment, and the recruitment of many seamen from many civilian ships.

At this time, the crews of the Zhenhai, Pinghai, and Anhai had all reached full strength, and the three warships also initially possessed a certain degree of combat effectiveness.

I think our coastal defense fleet is still capable of fighting pirates! ”

Song Limin's words made Zhou Xiaozheng nod slightly, and then he asked Zhou Rui again: "Xiaorui, what is your opinion?" ”

Zhou Rui's heart is very chaotic now, in the last life, the pirate fleet will only invade Ganyang City after half a year, why is it advanced now?

"Dad, I can't think of anything good for a while.

Once the pirates blockade the Mingang side from the sea, the impact on the entire Ganyang City will be great, and at that time, the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion will definitely force the coastal defense fleet to fight.

Therefore, in this battle, the coastal defense fleet must be fought, and if it is not fought, it must be fought, unless our Zhou family can withstand the pressure exerted by the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Xiaozheng's mouth, "Xiao Rui's analysis is very correct, it seems that the coastal defense fleet can't avoid this tough battle."

Limin, the coastal defense fleet will go all out to prepare for war, and if you need anything, you will ask Xiaorong and Xiaorui, please. ”

Song Limin said with a serious face: "Please rest assured that the general and the major general, all the officers and men of our coastal defense fleet will definitely fight to the end and defeat the invading pirates!" ”

Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin walked out of the small courtyard where Zhou Xiaozheng lived, and Zhou Xiaorong couldn't help asking: "Limin, are you sure?" ”

Song Limin hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, "Xiaorong, I don't know how big the scale of pirates is now?" I don't know how many warships are in it?

So I don't know if I can win with Zhenhai, Pinghai and Anhai?

However, with these three warships, it is not so easy for pirates to eat the coastal defense fleet! ”

"Limin, I don't know much about the navy, I can only help the coastal defense fleet to ensure logistics, this time it's all up to you!"

"Xiaorong rest assured, the general has the grace of knowing me, the rear admiral has fulfilled my dream of being the captain of a battleship, I Song Limin is desperate this time, and I will lead the coastal defense fleet to defeat the invading pirates and keep our Zhou family's current good situation!"

After Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin left, Zhou Rui couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "Dad, the Cui family has repeatedly murdered our Zhou family, if our Zhou family continues to endure it, if we can't get the Cui family's vicious methods, they will come out one after another." ”

Zhou Xiaozheng sighed, "Xiao Rui, now is not the time for a full-scale war with the Cui family, and you know the reason."

The next most important thing is to keep the coastal defense fleet and defeat the pirates who are about to invade Ganyang City. ”

"Dad, I also know that our Zhou family does not have the strength to start a full-scale war with the Cui family now, but it can still be done by teaching the Cui family some lessons."

Zhou Xiaozheng pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Then you can do it!" It's time to ask the Cui family for a little interest. ”

In the middle of the night on June 13, with a series of explosions, the people of Ganyang City woke up in their sleep.

The next day, the people of Ganyang City learned that last night, there was an explosion in the gun and ammunition factory that the Cui family was building.

The rifle production equipment and bullet production line purchased by the Cui family at a high price have basically been scrapped.

In a study in Cui's mansion, Cui Hong asked Cui Wentao with a gloomy face, "Did you find any clues?" ”

Cui Wentao shook his head and said bitterly: "Father, I didn't find any clues, but it is certain that this explosion was man-made." ”

"What is the current situation with rifle production equipment and bullet production lines?"

"Father, according to the assessment of several wolf technicians, the rifle production equipment and the bullet production line ......"

"Go on!"

"It's basically all scrapped, and there's no even value for repair."

"Check! Keep checking! Even if you turn the entire Ganyang City over, you must find out who did it! ”

Cui Wentao pondered for a moment, "Father, who can use so many explosives, in addition to the other five major families in Ganyang City, only Shen Zhi remains.

These five major families and Shen Zhi all have motives for committing crimes, after all, none of them want our Cui family to become stronger and stronger. ”

"Send someone to keep an eye on these five major families and the third division to investigate, this matter must have been done by one of them."

In the small courtyard in the west of the city, Zhou Rui said to Hu Yi with a smile: "You did a beautiful job this time, the rifle production equipment and bullet production line that the Cui family spent 2.58 million silver coins to buy are completely scrapped." ”

Hu Yi said in a deep voice: "Young General, although we have not left any evidence, but with the relationship between our Zhou family and the Cui family, I am worried that the Cui family will soon suspect our Zhou family, and maybe they will retaliate against our Zhou family because of this." ”

Zhou Rui said indifferently: "If you are afraid of retaliation, our Zhou family might as well leave Ganyang City as soon as possible."

What's more, in Ganyang City, the other four major families and the Cui family are also at odds with each other, and Shen Zhi, the commander of the third division, often suppresses the Cui family.

In this bombing case, if there is no conclusive evidence, our Zhou family and the other four major families, as well as Shen Zhi, the commander of the Third Division, are all suspected. ”

As soon as Zhou Rui's words fell, Li Donghu hurriedly walked over, "Major General, Frasso of the Red Tiger Empire is here, and now he has stayed in the Nine-Star Hotel, he asked the Major General to meet as soon as possible." ”

When Zhou Rui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhou Rui originally entrusted the logistics minister of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, Fraso, to help him contact the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, hoping to buy a few more captured warships of the former Flying Leopard Empire Navy from the hands of the Sixth Fleet.

"Quick! Prepare the car, let's go to the Nine Star Hotel immediately! ”
