Hearing Cui Wentao's envious tone of envy for the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, Geng Junfeng sighed and said: "Brigade commander, in fact, the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet is just a tree without roots, and it is difficult to recover once it suffers a heavy blow, just like the Wen family's fleet back then.

Only by building its own shipbuilding industry can it truly have a strong navy.

The navy of Shuonan Town suffered heavy losses back then, but now it is almost as famous as the navy of the Liang Yan Empire. ”

Cui Wentao smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that even if there is prosperity in front of us, our Cui family has never had it."

After the coastal defense fleet added those two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers, it was basically impossible for our Cui family to eradicate the Zhou family.

I'm worried now that after the strength of the Zhou family is getting bigger and bigger, will I make a move on our Cui family? ”

A cold light flashed in Geng Junfeng's eyes in an instant, "Brigade commander, rest assured, with the Third Independent Brigade here, the Cui family's position in Ganyang City will not be shaken!" ”

Cui Wentao also has confidence in the Third Independent Brigade under his command, "What Uncle Geng said is very true.

By the way, how's the recruiting thing going? ”

"More than five hundred people have been recruited."

Cui Wentao frowned slightly, "How can it be so little?"

This time, our 3rd Independent Brigade and the 9th Division will be reorganized into several reinforced regiments, and the number of each reinforced regiment will exceed 3,000.

Next, we must intensify our efforts to recruit troops, and strive to recruit them within two months...... Six thousand recruits! ”

Geng Junfeng's expression was a little hesitant, "Brigade commander, the Zhou family's garrison brigade has not stopped recruiting new recruits.

After our side began to recruit new soldiers, the Zhou family raised the settlement fee to 200 silver coins, so the recruitment speed on our side was relatively slow.

Are we also increasing the settling-in fee from 100 silver to 200 silver? ”

Cui Wentao shook his head helplessly, "You can't use such a local tyrant method to recruit troops, you still have to recruit step by step, and the Zhou family can't keep recruiting like this." ”

After Geng Junfeng left Cui Wentao's office, Cui Wentao found Cui Cheng, the head of the baggage regiment.

Cui Cheng is a collateral descendant of the Cui family, and according to his generation, he can be regarded as Cui Wentao's uncle.

"Brigadier Commander, what are you doing with me?" Cui Cheng's face was full of courteous smiles.

"Cui Cheng, who else knows about my little privacy except you?"

When Cui Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said with some nervousness: "Brigade commander, that matter was personally handled by me with a few henchmen, and I will never leak any news." ”

Cui Wentao snorted coldly, "Won't leak the news?"

My father must already know about this, so you secretly check on your subordinates and don't make any noise, understand? ”

"Huh? The head of the house knows! Brigade commander, do you need to dispose of those rabbit brothers and sisters? ”

"Don't you understand? I'll let you check on your subordinates secretly, and you don't have to worry about the rabbit brothers and sisters. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, brigade commander, if I find out who leaked the news, I will definitely screw off his head!"

"Wow-" Cui Wentao suddenly threw several documents on the desk on Cui Cheng's body.

"You're a pig! Can't understand people?

I'll let you look it up secretly, and you still don't understand what it means?

Among your henchmen should be my father's men!

You still dare to screw his head off, I think you should screw your head off first! ”

"Brigade...... Brigadier, now I understand, I really understand. ”

Cui Wentao let out a breath of turbidity, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately, "You should know that my younger brothers have been eyeing me all the time, and we can't allow any mistakes." ”

"Brigade Commander, will the matter of the rabbit brothers and sisters be known by the other young masters?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just some of my personal preferences, and it doesn't affect the overall situation.

However, we must learn a lesson in the future, and we must strictly screen the people under our hands. ”

When Cui Cheng left, Cui Wentao leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples with his hands.

Don't look at yourself, the eldest son of the Cui family, on the surface, the scenery is infinite, but every day, he is walking on thin ice.

Cui Wentao knows very well how cruel the competition for the position of head of the family is between the sons in law of the big family.

For example, his uncle Cui Yi, who inherited the position of the head of the Cui family back then, was almost a sure thing, but the uncle Cui Yi suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and his father Cui Hong became the head of the Cui family.

Although his father Cui Hong never admitted it, Cui Wentao felt that the disappearance of his uncle Cui Yi must be inseparable from his father.

Of course, Cui Wentao doesn't think that his father Cui Hong is at fault, but Cui Wentao doesn't want the matter of his uncle Cui Yi to fall on him.

Cui Wentao rubbed his temples for a while before opening his eyes, then picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a familiar number.

"Yiqiu, I'm Wen Tao, do you have time at night? I'll treat you to dinner. ”

Liu Yiqiu, who was on the other side of the phone, frowned slightly when she heard that it was Cui Wentao calling, "I'm sorry, Cui Gongzi, I have something to do tonight."

The situation of our Liujia Qianzhuang, presumably Cui Gongzi also understands, I will be very busy recently, I hope Cui Gongzi will not come to me again if he has nothing to do. ”

Liu Yiqiu hung up the phone after speaking.

Cui Wentao's face couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he called Liu Yiqiu to ask her to come out in the past few days, not only did he not succeed once, but Liu Yiqiu's attitude towards him became more and more cold.

Little girl, wait until I marry you, see how I clean you up!

Cui Wentao, who was holding back the fire in his belly, left the brigade headquarters of the Third Independent Brigade and took a car to a small courtyard in the east of the city.

In the small courtyard, a handsome rabbit guy and a bewitching rabbit beauty both showed happy expressions when they saw Cui Wentao walk in.

And Cui Wentao's gaze softened when he looked at the two of them, "Ugly, Xiaoxiu, don't you think of me these days?" ”

On the evening of June 21, in Zhou Xiaozheng's bedroom, Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "Dad, I have ordered the four infantry regiments, the fortress heavy artillery regiment and the coastal defense fleet to all enter a state of combat readiness.

However, the vast majority of the four infantry regiments are new recruits, and if they do fight, they may not be able to exert much combat effectiveness. ”

Just this afternoon, the Cui family suddenly announced that they had captured the four suspects who blew up the gun and ammunition factory, and learned from the mouths of these four suspects that the Zhou family was the mastermind behind the bombing of the gun and ammunition factory.

Immediately after that, the Chen family, the Pang family, the Dong family, and the Kong family in Ganyang City, as well as Shen Zhi, the commander of the Third Division, and Sun Quan, the city lord, called one after another to ask the Zhou family to explain this.

Immediately, the armies of various families in Ganyang City also began to deploy defenses in their respective jurisdictions, and the entire Ganyang City suddenly became a rumor.

Zhou Xiaozheng, who was lying on the bed, had a very relaxed expression, "The Cui family hit by mistake, the Cui family's gun and ammunition factory was originally blown up by us, and it is not wronged." ”

"Dad, the Cui family is the first wicked person to sue and try to use the matter of the gun and ammunition factory to cover up the fact that they colluded with pirates in an attempt to destroy the coastal defense fleet.

Hu Yi and a few of them stay by my side every day, and the four suspects arrested by the Cui family are obviously fake.

Should we release the evidence of the Cui family's collusion with the living Hades now? ”

Zhou Xiaozheng waved his hand, "If the evidence is useful, the families will not do their best to expand the army in their hands."

Don't panic, as long as our Zhou family has the coastal defense fleet and the fortress heavy artillery regiment, they don't dare to really do it.

What's more, now that Fengwu Town and Zhenwei Town have not ceased fighting, Jiedu Mansion will not allow Ganyang City to be in chaos.

Don't be affected by the recruit training plan you made, the Cui family, and several other big families, are just bluffing. ”
