Zhou Rui's categorical words made the two Tiger Clan naval officers look at each other for a moment, and their faces showed shocked expressions.

Could it be that the intelligence department's investigation of the Zhou family in Ganyang City was inaccurate?

You know, if you want to buy an all-steel battleship and two large armored cruisers, it will cost tens of millions of silver coins!

The Zhou family in Ganyang City can really come up with such a huge sum of money?

"Young Master Zhou, I'd better introduce you to the data of this Buran-class all-steel battleship first!

The Buran-class all-steel battleship had a full load displacement of 15,700 tons and a maximum speed of 19 knots.

It is equipped with 2 twin 40x caliber 300 mm main guns, 12 45x caliber 150 mm secondary guns, 12 45x caliber 80 mm rapid-fire guns, and 4 500 mm torpedo tubes.

In addition, in order to deal with the flying beasts that may appear on the sea, the Buran-class all-steel battleships are also equipped with 16 30mm anti-aircraft guns and 24 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

The broadside armor belt was from 150 mm to 240 mm, the main deck armor was 60 mm, the main turret armor was 300 mm, and the full crew was 820 people.

The Buran-class all-steel battleship, which was also badly damaged in naval battles, was completely repaired, but in terms of speed, it suffered a little, and the top speed dropped to about 16.5 knots, and there were no problems in other aspects.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the speed was affected, our Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire would not have sold this all-steel battleship to the outside world. ”

Zhou Rui also knew that he was a little too anxious, he eased his excitement and asked, "So how many silver coins are you going to sell for this all-steel battleship?" ”

"6 million silver coins, no counteroffer!"

"An all-steel battleship, two armored cruisers, I want them all! You guys offer a low price! ”

"10 million silver coins, if the major general is willing to buy the three warships together, we are willing to reduce the total price to 10 million silver coins."

"Good! At this price, we have no problem paying for silver bricks, right? All silver bricks weighing 50 pounds! ”

"A silver brick weighing 50 pounds? Oh, no problem, but it has to be a silver brick of sterling silver. ”

"It's definitely sterling silver, you can inspect it on site.

By the way, what about the shells? You don't just sell warships and don't give away shells, do you? ”

"Major General, I'm very sorry, but if you want shells, you'll have to pay an additional fee."

Zhou Rui then agreed with two Tiger Navy officers to purchase 2,000 300-mm artillery shells, 4,000 200-mm artillery shells, 20,000 150-mm artillery shells, 20,000 80-mm artillery shells, 40,000 30-mm anti-aircraft artillery shells, 500,000 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and 200 500-mm torpedoes from the Red Tiger Empire's navy.

Although Zhou Rui knew that on the ammunition attached to the three warships, the two Tiger Clan naval officers could be described as lions with their mouths wide open and slaughtered themselves fiercely.

But since no feudal town in the Han and Tang Empires could make large-caliber shells, Zhou Rui could only stretch his neck and let the other party slaughter the knife.

After Zhou Rui signed a purchase contract and left, one of the Tiger Clan naval officers frowned and said, "This Zhou family in Ganyang City won't buy a Buran-class all-steel battleship and two Ice Blade-class armored cruisers and sell them to the Flying Leopard Empire, right?"

The reason why our Royal Navy did not sell the three warships to those hunting groups this time was because they were afraid that those hunting groups would resell the three warships to the Flying Leopard Empire under the drive of profits. ”

Another Tiger Clan naval officer shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, we were ordered to sell the three warships to the various feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires, even if something goes wrong in the future, it has nothing to do with us."

Let's hurry up and report to Your Excellency the Commander by telegram!

I didn't expect that a small family under a feudal town in the Han and Tang Empires would be so wealthy that they bought all three warships and purchased 2 million silver coins of ammunition.

With this funding, the Admiralty will definitely be able to add a new type of all-main gun battleship to our Fifth Fleet! ”

"Then send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander!

According to the agreement with the major general, at 9 o'clock in the morning of June 4, outside the military port of Ganyang City, we handed over three warships and ammunition with one hand, and delivered 24,000 silver bricks weighing 50 catties with the other. ”

In the process of Zhou Rui's bargaining with the two Tiger Clan naval officers, Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu and Li Dongbao stood behind Zhou Rui.

The whole whole process of the four of them were blinded.

Where are they?

What are they doing?

Are you dreaming?

The second young master actually purchased an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers from the navy of the Red Tiger Empire, plus the ammunition for three battleships, and the transaction price was as high as 12 million silver coins.

They tried to stop it, but Zhou Rui ordered the four of them not to speak with his eyes.

Finished! Something big is coming!

If you sell the entire Zhou family's property, you may not be able to make up 12 million silver coins!

As soon as he walked out of the luxurious room, Song Shenghe couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you ......"

Zhou Rui waved his hand and interrupted what Song Shenghe was about to say, "I know what I'm doing, you don't have to worry, I'm ready for the money to buy the boat." ”

Before Zhou Rui left the nine-star hotel, he used the landline of the nine-star hotel to make a call to his second uncle Zhou Xiaorong.

Then Zhou Rui led Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao to a small courtyard in the west of the city.

This small courtyard was bought by Zhou Rui, and it was originally intended to house a Qing singer in Wanhualou.

The name of the singer is Liu Menglu, not only has a sweet singing voice, but also looks quite beautiful, and her figure is even taller and charming.

If Sun Xiushu is a beauty with a score of 95, then Liu Menglu is at least a beauty with a score of 90.

Zhou Rui used to go to Wanhualou often, mainly to listen to Liu Menglu sing, and Zhou Rui eagerly hoped to redeem Liu Menglu and accept him as his concubine.

It's a pity that in the last life, Wanhualou never agreed to Zhou Rui to redeem Liu Menglu, even if Zhou Rui raised the price to 50,000 silver coins.

Later, Zhou Rui escaped from Ganyang City, and he never heard of Liu Menglu again.

Zhou Rui asked Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao to guard outside the gate of the small courtyard, and Zhou Rui walked into the small courtyard alone and closed the gate casually.

Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao looked at each other, not knowing what this eldest young master was going to do?

About half an hour later, Zhou Xiaorong and Song Limin hurried over with four or five hundred soldiers loaded with guns.

At this time, Zhou Rui suddenly opened the gate of the small courtyard, "Second uncle, Captain Song, come in and show you a surprise!"

Big Head, Scar, Black Tiger, Leopard, all come in! ”

After Zhou Rui opened the door of a side room, Zhou Xiaorong, Song Limin and Zhou Rui's four personal bodyguards were all dumbfounded.

Silver Mountain! A mountain of silver!

At this time, the spacious wing room was already filled with silver bricks.

"Major General, this ...... This...... This is? ”

Zhou Xiaorong felt that his tongue was a little bad.

How much silver is a room full of silver bricks worth?

Zhou Xiaorong didn't feel that his tongue was good, as if his brain was not good.

"Second uncle, Captain Song, there are 24,000 silver bricks in this room, and the weight of each silver brick is 50 catties, which is equivalent to 12 million silver coins.

I have signed a purchase contract with the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, and I have purchased one Buran-class all-steel battleship and two Ice Blade-class armored cruisers from the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire for 10 million silver coins, as well as 2 million silver coins of auxiliary ammunition.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the day after tomorrow, outside the military port of our Ganyang City, the two sides handed over money with one hand and delivered three warships and 2 million silver coins of ammunition with the other.

What do you think? Is this a big surprise? ”

"What? A Buran-class? Two skate-class?

Major General, you're not kidding, are you? ”

Song Limin was already a little trembling with excitement at this time.

At this time, Zhou Rui's personal bodyguard Song Shenghe said: "Uncle, the second young master really bought an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers!" The contracts are all signed! ”

Song Shenghe is Song Limin's own nephew.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Our coastal defense fleet is going to add an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers!

Major General, in the future, my Song Limin's life will be yours, you say to the east, I will never go west! ”

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Old Song, the warship has been bought for you, and then I ask the coastal defense fleet to make these three warships combat effective as soon as possible!"

I don't know if three months is enough? ”

When Song Limin heard this, he said with a serious expression: "Major General, now that an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers have been added, the personnel of our coastal defense fleet must be expanded.

If there is no problem with military spending......"

Zhou Rui waved his hand, "How much military spending does the coastal defense fleet need, Lao Song, even if you open your mouth, I only ask that after three months, the three warships must have at least a certain amount of combat effectiveness." ”

"Major General, as long as there is no problem with military spending, after three months, I guarantee that three warships can be put into battle at any time! I would like to make a military order! ”
