Fox San nodded, "Major General, the 'Ghost Shadow' has already set up a monitoring network inside the coastal defense fleet, which is enough to monitor those pirates who defected.

In addition, the 'ghost' is constantly absorbing more personnel to improve this monitoring network, which will definitely ensure the stability of the coastal defense fleet. ”

After the establishment of the "ghost," in addition to laying out an intelligence network externally, it also set up monitoring departments in various army units and coastal defense fleets internally.

Since Zhou Rui can use money to buy others, then there may also be people who use money to buy Zhou Rui's subordinates, and it is still very necessary to supervise and review internally.

With the support of Zhou Rui, many young officers or soldiers in the army and navy have secretly joined the "ghost".

At present, Fox 3 is in charge of the internal monitoring department of the coastal defense fleet, and the internal monitoring department of each army unit is in charge of Fox 4.

Because Zhou Rui got another 15 bottles of primary physical fitness enhancement potions at once, Hu San had already been promoted to Grandmaster Martial Artist at this time.

In addition to Fox Three, Fox Two, Fox Four, and Fox Six also successfully advanced to Grandmaster Martial Artist after taking a bottle of primary physical fitness enhancement potion.

Only Fox Five and Fox Seven, since they have not yet been promoted to the realm of high-level martial artists, they have not taken primary physical fitness enhancement potions for the time being.

In addition, Zhou Rui also gave this so-called "Dragon Crystal Elixir" to Ma Tiezhu, Wang Biao, and Liu Mo with a bottle each.

Ma Tiezhu, Wang Biao, and Liu Mo all proved their loyalty to the Zhou family with their lives in their previous lives, and Zhou Rui trusted the three of them very much and was willing to help the three of them improve their cultivation.

The three of them were originally high-level martial artists, and after taking the primary physical fitness enhancement potion, they were also promoted to grandmaster martial artists.

So far, the Zhou family is only a master at the grandmaster level, and the number has reached 15.

Although with the increasing power of firearms, the warriors in the human race and the warriors in the beast race can no longer be as dazzling on the battlefield as in the era of cold weapons.

But a master at the grandmaster level is still synonymous with the world's top martial arts.

Especially for grandmaster-level masters, their speed and reflexes are much higher than ordinary people, and their chances of survival are much higher than those of ordinary soldiers under the same conditions on the battlefield.

This time, he got more primary physical fitness enhancement pills, so Zhou Rui took another bottle by himself, but unfortunately the improvement of strength, physique, and agility was very limited.

Because Zhou Rui insists on exercising every day these days, his strength has increased to 2.9, his physique has increased to 4.0, and his agility has increased to 1.8.

Compared to the time when I finished taking the first bottle of the primary physical fitness enhancement potion, these three physical values increased slightly.

After taking another bottle of medicine, the strength became 3.2, the constitution became 4.2, and the agility became 1.9.

But no matter what, it's not a waste to be able to increase.

The remaining 7 bottles of primary physical fitness enhancement elixir were not extracted by Zhou Rui from the lottery system.

I don't know when this potion will be prescribed next time, you must know that one bottle almost represents the creation of a grandmaster-level master, so the remaining 7 bottles of primary physical fitness enhancement elixir, Zhou Rui does not dare to waste it at will.

Zhou Rui then said to Hu San: "Although the more than 2,600 pirates who surrendered to Cheng this time have been accepted by the coastal defense fleet, it does not mean that we will tolerate the black sheep inside.

I don't want to spoil a pot of porridge because of a grain of rat droppings.

In addition, the next thing you need to focus on is the secrecy work on the Crescent Island.

Before the eight battlecruisers have formed combat effectiveness, the existence of the eight battlecruisers must not be known to the outside world in any case. ”

"The major general can rest assured, now Crescent Island can only enter and not leave, basically blocking all channels for leaking news."

"It's basically not enough, I want to be foolproof.

Once the matter of the eight battle cruisers is exposed in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Yes, Major General, you must be foolproof!"

Three days later, Liu Ergou and his original more than 2,000 pirates, as well as more than 3,000 recruits recently recruited by the coastal defense fleet, arrived near Crescent Island on three freighters, escorted by the large armored cruiser Jiehai and the destroyer Kuaishun of the coastal defense fleet.

The Jiehai, Kuaishun and the three freighters did not enter the port of Crescent Island, and in the sea area about a dozen kilometers away from Crescent Island, more than 2,000 pirates and more than 3,000 recruits were transferred to three other freighters from the port of Crescent Island.

When these three freighters entered the entrance of the port of Crescent Island, Liu Ergou, who was standing on the deck of the freighter, looked at the row of brand-new warships in the port of Crescent Island in amazement, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

At this time, Hu San, who was standing next to Liu Ergou, said with a smile: "Brother Liu, didn't I tell you, I will give you a big surprise when I arrive at Crescent Island."

What do you think? That's big enough of a surprise, right? ”

In order to ensure that the matter of the eight battlecruisers on Crescent Island does not leak out, Fox San is going to personally sit on Crescent Island in the next period of time.

Liu Ergou said excitedly: "Brother Fox, I'm not dreaming, right? Our Zhou family actually has eight battleships with full main guns? ”

Hu San said with some pride: "Brother Liu, otherwise I would say that you are lucky!"

Your joining the Ganyang Zhou family is definitely the wisest choice in your life. ”

Liu Ergou rubbed his hands, "Originally, I thought that being the captain of an all-steel battleship was already the highest pursuit of my life.

Now I have found that the highest pursuit of my life can be sublimated to a higher level, and I must be the captain of an all-main gun battleship in my life! ”

"Hehe, where there is a will, there is a way, Brother Liu, I am optimistic about you!"

"Brother Fox, which country built these eight all-main gun battleships?"

"Brother Liu, there are some things that are confidential to our Zhou family, so don't inquire."

"Got it, got it.

Thank you for the reminder of the three fox brothers, I just asked in passing. ”

When Hu San and Liu Ergou landed on the improvised dock at the port of Crescent Island, Wang Hongchun greeted them with a large group of officers from the coastal defense fleet.

"Lieutenant Colonel Fox, with the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers you brought over, the fifth and seventh formations can finally be considered to be fully formed." Wang Hongchun said with a smile.

In order to facilitate Hu San's work, Zhou Rui set up a supervision department in the coastal defense fleet, and appointed Hu San as the head of the supervision department of the coastal defense fleet, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

However, the personnel on the surface of the Ministry of Supervision have no affiliation with the "ghost".

Wang Hongchun is now the commander of the fifth formation of the coastal defense fleet, and Wang Hongchun, who was originally reluctant to leave the Jinghai armored cruiser, learned that the coastal defense fleet has eight battle cruisers comparable to all main gun battleships.

immediately ran to Zhou Rui, and wanted to go to the battle cruiser with a dead face.

And Wang Hongchun also said that even if he burned the boiler on the top of the battle cruiser, he was willing.

Of course, Zhou Rui would not let Wang Hongchun burn the boiler, so Wang Hongchun was transferred to the Moltke-class battle cruiser Wusheng and served as the captain of the Wusheng.

The other three Moltke-class battlecruisers were named Wugong, Wude, and Wurui.

The four Invincible-class battlecruisers were named Yongsui, Yongwei, Yongxi, and Yong'an.

Since the three all-steel battleships of the original fifth formation of the coastal defense fleet, Yong A, Yong B, and Yong C, were all taken to Xiangshi Island, the fifth formation no longer has a single warship.

So Zhou Rui attributed all eight battle cruisers to the fifth formation, and Wang Hongchun would concurrently serve as the commander of the fifth formation.

The six York-class armored cruisers were named Haifu, Haichou, Haiwei, Hairong, Haiqiang, and Haitong.

The six York-class armored cruisers were organized into the seventh formation of the coastal defense fleet, and the commander was Chen Yongchang, the captain of the Haifu.

Chen Yongchang was the captain of the iron-ribbed wood-hulled ship of the Beifeng at first, and later served as the captain of the large armored cruiser Tonghai, and this time he was transferred by Zhou Rui and promoted to the commander of the seventh formation.

Hu San smiled and said to Wang Hongchun: "Commander Wang, I came this time mainly to strengthen the secrecy of Crescent Island, and I still need Commander Wang's cooperation in this regard." ”

Because Wang Hongchun is also the commander of the fifth formation, Hu San called him Commander Wang.

"That's a must, Lieutenant Colonel Fox, rest assured, before the fifth and seventh formations form combat effectiveness, not a single fly will fly out of Crescent Island!"
