I heard that the second uncle Zhou Xiaorong originally knew several orc arms dealers, and they were not happy to buy machinery and equipment from the artillery shell factory.

Zhou Rui said with some frustration: "Earlier, I sent a telegram to Flaso of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, asking him if he could help purchase a batch of machinery and equipment for manufacturing large-caliber artillery shells.

Vlasso also said that there was nothing he could do about it, and it seemed that the plan to build a shell factory would only come to naught. ”

Zhou Xiaorong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm asking someone to contact the Liang Yan Empire to see if I can order a batch of special caliber shells from the Liang Yan Empire's arsenal."

Or import a batch of machinery and equipment for the manufacture of large-caliber artillery shells from the Liang Yan Empire. ”

Zhou Rui shook his head and said, "With the urine nature of the Liang Yan Empire's broom, I'm afraid there is no drama." ”

The Liangyan Empire is the most industrially and technologically advanced country among human countries.

However, what makes people speechless is that the Liang Yan Empire actually learned from the six beast countries and carried out a technological blockade of other human countries, which also made the Liang Yan Empire have a very poor reputation in other human countries.

Just when Zhou Rui was worried about the shells, there was a person who was even more worried about sleeping.

On a small island more than 100 kilometers south of Xiangshi Island, the ghost saw that he was standing on the shore looking at the direction of Xiangshi Island, and said to himself with a sad face: "Even if I provoke your Ganyang Zhou family once, there is no need to do such a desperate thing, right?"

I've been hiding so far away, why don't you let me go?

Your Ganyang Zhou family occupies Xiangshi Island, why should I take my brothers to beg for a living in this sea area?

It's really forcing Lao Tzu to a dead end! ”

The ghost has learned that the Ganyang Zhou family exchanged five all-steel battleships and some old warships for Xiangshi Island of the Bajin Empire.

At this time, a henchman walked to the side of the ghost, "Big boss, now Xiangshi Island has also fallen into the hands of the Ganyang Zhou family, where are we going to hide next?" ”

Seeing this, the ghost's eyes stood up, and he scolded angrily: "Hide! Hide! Hide!

Just know how to hide! Is there any interest in it?

The surrounding sea area is either occupied by this family, or let that family occupy it, where else can we hide? ”

The henchman said with a wry smile: "But the big boss, this small island is only more than 100 kilometers away from Xiangshi Island, in case the Ganyang Zhou family doesn't like us, it's too late to hide when the time comes." ”

The ghost saw that he was angry and said, "Soft egg! The head is off, but the bowl has a big scar!

The Zhou family doesn't like Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu still looks at the Zhou family unpleasantly!

If it weren't for Lao Tzu's subordinates being cowards like you, Lao Tzu would have to order a war ship and go to Xiangshi Island in blood! ”

Seeing the ghost's angry appearance, this henchman did not dare to answer.

However, he has followed the big boss for many years, and he knows that the big boss is just shouting, don't say anything about the bloody Xiangshi Island, if the fleet of the Ganyang Zhou family comes, the first one to escape must be the big boss.

The ghost saw that he vented a few words, but his anger was a lot smoother, "Inform the brothers, pack your luggage, let's go to Xiangshi Island?" ”

When this henchman heard this, he was immediately frightened, he shouldn't be!

When did the big boss become so bloody?

"Think twice about the big boss! With our 20 or so ships, going to Xiangshi Island is equivalent to sending you to death! ”

The ghost glared at the henchman, "Who said that going to Xiangshi Island is to send you to death!" Lao Tzu took you to join the Zhou family in Ganyang, and they have to welcome us! ”

"Huh? Big...... The big boss, let's ...... Let's go to Ganyang Zhou's house? ”

"There's no place to do business, don't find a place to eat, more than 2,000 brothers drink the northwest wind!"

"The big boss, can the Ganyang Zhou family want us?"

"Lao Tzu has already inquired, the pirates under the hands of the Living Yama King who were captured by the Ganyang Zhou family, except for the orcs, the rest of the people were all absorbed by the coastal defense fleet of the Ganyang Zhou family.

Moreover, the coastal defense fleet of the Ganyang Zhou family has been recruiting new recruits in the past few months, and we happen to have no orcs now, so there is no reason why the Ganyang Zhou family should not take us in! ”

On the morning of October 12, Zhou Rui was in his office and saw the ghost who took the initiative to lead 24 pirate ships and more than 2,600 pirates to surrender.

"You don't have to be too restrained, I asked you to come to Ganyang City this time, just to ask you, what are your plans next?

Do you want to stay in the coastal defense fleet? Or take a sum of money to be an apartment in Ganyang City? ”

By the way, I only know that your bandit name is called Ghost Sorrow, what is your real name? ”

After seeing Zhou Rui, his attitude was very respectful, and after listening to Zhou Rui's question, he hurriedly replied: "Major General, my real name is Liu Ergou, and my father gave him a name, saying that it is a cheap name to make a living."

As for the plan, the ...... That ......"

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, you can lead more than 2,600 subordinates to join our Zhou family, and for our Zhou family, you are a meritorious man."

As long as your request is not excessive, our Zhou family will try our best to meet you. ”

Liu Ergou said with some embarrassment: "Major General, can I ask for money and stay in the coastal defense fleet?"

I'm only thirty-one this year, and I don't want to be an apartment so early in the morning, where I can only drink tea and read the newspaper every day. ”

"Haha, you're honest enough.

If there is no problem, then you will be rewarded with 500,000 silver coins, and the rank of lieutenant will be awarded in addition.

But then you have to enter the crash course of the Naval Academy and study it systematically. ”

When Liu Ergou heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Thank you Major General, I will definitely study hard."

In the future, I, Liu Ergou, will be loyal, loyal, loyal, and loyal to the young general and the Zhou family...... Disloyal......

Anyway, as long as the young general says a word, even if I let Liu Ergou go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, I Liu Ergou will not frown! ”

"Hehe, Ergou, can I call it that?"

"It's my honor for the young general to call me so affectionately, young general, you can call me that in the future, just call me a second dog."

"Okay, Ergou, I want to ask you, why don't you have any orcs under your hands?

Without orcs, where did your old ironclad battleship and that old armored cruiser come from? ”

Liu Ergou's 24 pirate ships included an ironclad battleship, an armored cruiser, three iron-ribbed and wooden-hulled warships, four gunboats, and fifteen armed merchant ships.

"Young General, let's be honest, originally there were many orcs under my hands, and my original second master was a leopard clan.

The ironclad battleship and the armored cruiser were both bought by the second master from the Flying Leopard Empire.

But that wolf-hearted guy, after I annexed the remaining forces of the Living Hades, actually united with the orcs under the hands of the Living Hades, and wanted to kill me and become the boss himself.

In the end, I was the one who got the better at chess and threw all those rebellious orcs into the sea to feed the sharks! ”

After Liu Ergou left, Song Limin said to Zhou Rui: "Young General, this ghost should really take refuge in our Zhou family."

Ghost Sorrow's parents, wife and children originally lived in a fishing village in Zhenwei Town, but now Ghost Sorrow's parents, wife and children have been placed in Ganyang City. ”

Zhou Rui nodded slightly, and then said: "Old Song, these pirates stay at sea all year round and have a foundation, I think it is a good way to recruit some pirates to enrich the coastal defense fleet."

Of course, we only need human pirates, and as for those orc pirates, we can dispose of them. ”

"It's a good idea, there are quite a few pirates along the southwest coast."

After Song Limin left the office, Zhou Rui brought Hu San over.

"Let you 'ghost' personnel in the coastal defense fleet closely monitor those pirates who have surrendered, especially the pirate leader."
