At about eight o'clock in the morning of June 4, a fleet of seventeen warships and two transport ships arrived outside the military port of Ganyang City.

The seven warships of the coastal defense fleet also left the port at this time, blocking the front of this Red Tiger Empire naval fleet.

"Young Master Zhou, a Buran-class all-steel battleship and two Ice Blade-class armored cruisers have been sent over.

Another 2,000,000 silver coins of ammunition are also loaded on two transports, and now I ask you to allow three warships and two transports to dock. ”

The person who spoke was a lieutenant colonel of the Tiger Clan Navy who sold warships to Zhou Rui.

The seventeen warships that came over from the Red Tiger Empire's navy, in addition to one all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers that were about to be delivered to the coastal defense fleet.

There were also two new all-main-gun battleships, two all-steel battleships, two armored cruisers, four light cruisers and four large torpedo boats (destroyers).

The seven old ships of the coastal defense fleet, compared to this Red Tiger Empire naval fleet, are really a little weak.

"Old Song, send the flag and order our warships to get out of the way."

Song Limin of the Dawn was not on top of the Dawn, but on the side of the military port dock, waiting to receive the three warships.

When the seven warships of the coastal defense fleet gave way to the channel, soon a Buran-class all-steel battleship and two ice-blade-class armored cruisers, as well as two transport ships loaded with ammunition, docked at the dock of the Ganyang City Military Port.

Although Zhou Rui had not sent anyone to inspect the three warships before, the current state of the three warships made the officers and men of the coastal defense fleet very satisfied.

It's just that because the two transport ships are loaded with too much ammunition, and the naval officers and sailors of the Red Tiger Empire still need to carry 24,000 silver bricks onto the two transport ships, the transaction did not end until the evening.

Zhou Rui smiled and said to a Tiger Clan naval officer wearing a rear admiral's epaulettes: "General Fraso, you are very welcome to come to Ganyang City next time.

This time is too rushed, waiting for the next time you come to Ganyang City, I will definitely take you to taste the food of our Ganyang City. ”

This rear admiral of the Tiger Clan, named Flaso, is the logistics chief of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy, and because he can speak Han and Tang Chinese, he was sent to be in charge of today's handover between the two sides.

"Young Master Zhou is so polite, I am very much looking forward to coming to Ganyang City next time.

When I get back, I'll contact the Sixth Fleet as soon as possible, and I'm sure they'll be very interested in this business. ”

It turned out that Zhou Rui learned from Frasso that in the Battle of the Ghost Sea last year, in addition to one all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers that had been sold to Zhou Rui, the Red Tiger Imperial Navy also captured two all-steel battleships, three light cruisers and two destroyers of the Flying Leopard Imperial Navy.

At present, the other two all-steel battleships, three light cruisers, and two destroyers have been assigned to the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire's Navy by the Admiralty of the Red Tiger Empire.

Since the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is willing to sell the captured warships, it is likely that the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is also willing to sell a few warships.

After all, the Red Tiger Empire, as the second most powerful naval power among the six major beast countries, has a very developed shipbuilding industry in its own country, and hundreds of warships are launched every year, so there is no need to equip the slightly backward warships of the Flying Leopard Empire.

Zhou Rui is very willing to add a few more warships to his family's coastal defense fleet, even if it is at a high price!

In fact, the price of the three second-hand warships sold to Zhou Rui by the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is already very high, even if it is three new ships, there may not be 10 million silver coins.

However, due to the technical blockade of human countries by the six orc countries in many aspects, this makes it rare for the six orc countries to sell warships to human countries.

Zhou Rui was able to buy one capital ship and two secondary capital ships from the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, which was already very rare.

"General Flaso, then I'm sorry for you, as long as you can facilitate the transaction between our Zhou family and your country's Sixth Fleet, I will have a heart."

In order to let Flaso build a bridge, Zhou Rui had asked the officers and soldiers under his command to bring out an additional 400 silver bricks from the underground warehouse of the brigade headquarters building and give them to Flaso.

"Haha, Young Master Zhou, I like friends like you so much."

"Hehe, I'm also very honored to have a friend like General Flaso."

After Frasso boarded a transport ship and left, Zhou Xiaorong couldn't help but say worriedly: "Major General, are you really going to buy a few more warships from the Red Tiger Empire's navy?"

With the addition of these three warships, the annual military expenditure of the coastal defense fleet will cost millions of silver coins, which may not be enough.

If we buy a few more warships, even if our Zhou family has gold and silver mountains, it will not be enough to fill in the coastal defense fleet. ”

Zhou Rui looked at the sea in the distance, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, he could vaguely see the outlines of more than a dozen warships of the Red Tiger Empire's navy.

"Second uncle, just one detachment of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy can come up with so many warships, and with a detachment of this size, the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy can still form several.

There is an old saying, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, maybe in the future, our Han and Tang Empires will break out again in war with the Red Tiger Empire.

Ganyang City is a port city, in order to protect the foundation of our Zhou family, I feel that we must take precautions. ”

It was impossible for Zhou Rui to tell Zhou Xiaorong that in about six years, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire would join forces to invade the western coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empires.

In the last life, Wei Jie took advantage of this war to completely control Fengwu Town, and annexed Zhenwei Town and Boting Town, becoming the Wei Marshal of the Han and Tang Empires.

The fleet under Wei Jie's command also severely damaged the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, as well as the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire, in naval battles, shocking the entire world.

Now that Wei Dashuai is no longer possible, can he become the Zhou Dashuai of the Han and Tang Empires?

Zhou Rui felt that he should be able to do it, after all, his lottery system is an enhanced version!

Zhou Xiaorong frowned, "Major General, if our Han and Tang Empires really break out into war with the Red Tiger Empire again, even if our Zhou family goes bankrupt to expand the coastal defense fleet, it will not be able to resist any main fleet of the Red Tiger Empire's navy, even a sub-fleet." ”

"Hehe, second uncle, I'm just making an analogy.

Anyway, I'm not short of money now, so why not add a few more warships to the coastal defense fleet!

What's more, the original seven old ships of the coastal defense fleet should have been eliminated a long time ago, and the only ones that the coastal defense fleet could really use were one all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers that had just been bought. ”

Hearing Zhou Rui's sentence "It's not bad for money", Zhou Xiaorong couldn't help but ask: "Young General, could it be that you still have a lot of silver bricks in your hand?" ”

"Second uncle, it's so much that you can't imagine!"

The Zhou family's purchase of an all-steel battleship and two armored cruisers couldn't hide the eyes of the other families in Ganyang City at all, so in the process of handing over the three warships today, almost all the families in Ganyang City sent people to Ganyang Military Port to confirm whether this matter was true.

Not long after Zhou Rui put Frasso on the transport ship, a group of people came over.

"Haha, nephew Zhou Xian, your Zhou family is a big deal this time!

I heard that the three warships and the ammunition attached to them combined cost 12 million silver coins.

I really didn't expect that your Zhou family turned out to be the biggest tyrant in Ganyang City! ”

The person who spoke, although it had actually been more than ten years, Zhou Rui still recognized it at first sight.

Shen Zhi, the third son of Shen Xiao, the current envoy of Fengwu Jiedu, is the commander of the third division of the Fengwu Army.

The 3rd Division of the Fengwu Army was also the only descendant of the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion among the several troops stationed in Ganyang City.

In the previous life, when Wei Jie joined forces with several major families in Ganyang City to deal with the Zhou family, Fengwu Jiedu Mansion chose neutrality, and Shen Zhi's third division of the Fengwu Army did not attack the Zhou family's troops.

Later, Shen Zhi's father, Shen Xiao, died, and Shen Zhi defeated his two elder brothers with the help of Wei Jie's power and became the new envoy of the Fengwu Festival.

It's a pity that Shen Zhi only served as the envoy of the Fengwu Festival for more than a year, and then he died of a violent illness, and the entire Fengwu Town was immediately taken into Wei Jie's pocket.

Zhou Rui felt that Shen Zhi's death was probably inseparable from Wei Jie.

"The little nephew gave General Shen a salute.

I'm busy today, and I don't know when General Shen came over, so I ask General Shen for forgiveness for the neglect. ”

Shen Zhi looked at Zhou Rui with some surprise, and couldn't help but smile and said, "As the saying goes, don't be a scholar for three days, you should be impressed."

I didn't expect that after Zhou Xian's nephew became the head of the garrison brigade, his speech became civil, haha! ”

At this time, Cui Wentao, who was following Shen Zhi, said loudly: "Brother Zhou, this is just a blockbuster.

As soon as Brother Zhou made a move, he took down a Buran-class all-steel battleship and two ice blade-class armored cruisers captured by the Red Tiger Empire's Navy of the Flying Leopard Empire. ”
