It turns out that the rebel forces of the six major beast countries have been united many years ago to form the general headquarters of the rebel army.

The rebel armies in each beast country were organized into a column and named after the six major beast countries, namely the Golden Lion Column, the Black Bear Column, the Red Tiger Column, the Silver Wolf Column, the Flying Leopard Column, and the Wild Bull Column.

Under each column of the Resistance, there will be several divisional units and several independent brigade units.

It's just that because of the encirclement and suppression of the six major beast countries, some division-level units of the rebel army may only have three or four hundred people, and some brigade-level units may even have only about one hundred or ten people.

Cheng Xianhou came to Zhou Rui, not only on behalf of the rebels in the Red Tiger Empire, but on behalf of the general headquarters of the rebels to ask for help.

"Mr. Cheng, how can I help?" Zhou Rui asked Cheng Xianhou.

"Young Master Zhou, due to the continuous encirclement and suppression of our rebels by the armies of various beast countries, our rebels are almost lacking in everything.

Nothing is more scarce than weapons, ammunition, food and medicine. ”

Zhou Rui pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Cheng, I can give the rebels 3,000 breech single-shot rifles, 200 repeating rifles, 500,000 rounds of ammunition, 1 million catties of rice, 1 million catties of flour and a batch of medicines for free.

But how do you get these things back? ”

The 3,000 breech single-shot rifles, 200 repeating rifles and 500,000 rounds of ammunition that Zhou Rui prepared for the rebels were all replaced by the garrison brigade, and now the various infantry regiments of the garrison brigade, including the fortress heavy artillery regiment and the guard battalion, are already equipped with guns and ammunition produced by the system.

After all, Zhou Rui dealt with the rebels for the first time, although Zhou Rui had a large number of sophisticated firearms produced by the system, but he did not plan to shake out his family wealth.

Cheng Xianhou heard that Zhou Rui was preparing to assist the rebels with so many weapons, ammunition and food, and secretly said in his heart: He has finally found the right person.

These things are worth at least hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and it seems that he can do more work on this local tyrant in the future.

Cheng Xianhou immediately said gratefully: "Young Master Zhou, your righteous deeds, our rebels will always remember them.

Our rebels have their own ocean-going freighters, which can secretly transport the aid of various human nations to our rebels back to the six orc countries. ”

Zhou Rui was not surprised by Cheng Xianhou's explanation.

Since the rebels dare to collect materials in various human countries, there must be a way to transport these collected materials back to the six orc countries.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng is polite, it is an honor for our Zhou family to be able to help the rebels with some small favors."

By the way, do you need the Golden Yuan coupons issued by the six orc countries? ”

"Yes! It's so needed!

I won't hide it from Young Master Zhou, our rebel army has its own secret channels in the territory of the six beast countries.

With enough funds, it is even possible to buy artillery and shells. ”

"That's much more convenient, in addition to the things I just said, I'll sponsor the rebels with 3 million silver coins!"

Hearing that Zhou Rui was going to take out a gold yuan coupon worth 3 million silver coins to sponsor the rebels, Cheng Xianhou was even more enthusiastic about Zhou Ruixian.

"Young Master Zhou, if you need our rebel army to help in the future, please feel free to speak.

From today onwards, you will be our Resistance's most trusted friend. ”

Zhou Rui pondered a little and said, "Mr. Cheng, I really have something to trouble you......

On the morning of July 11, 1536, the First Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade, which had just been formed for less than a week, was ready to set off to take over the oil fields of the Three Towns.

The first regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade was actually the 5th Infantry Regiment of the garrison brigade.

Due to the addition of the number of the 22nd Independent Brigade, Zhou Rui put the newly established infantry regiment into the sequence of the 22nd Independent Brigade.

Before leaving, Zhou Rui emphasized to the head of the regiment Li Donghu and the deputy head of the regiment Guan Guoren: "After you arrive at the Three Towns Oilfield, you must cooperate with Zhou Gong to take over the entire Three Towns Oilfield.

The next step is to pay close attention to training, and I hope that your regiment can become a well-deserved main regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade. ”

Zhou Gong is the eldest son of the housekeeper Zhou Fu, and has been working as the director of the Zhou family's textile factory.

Zhou Xiaozheng learned that Zhou Rui needed a person in charge of the Three Towns oilfield, so he recommended Zhou Gong to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui only knew that Zhou Gong was implicated by the Zhou family in his previous life and was also killed by the soldiers under Wei Jie's command, and he didn't know anything else about Zhou Gong.

After his father recommended Zhou Gong, Zhou Rui specially invited Zhou Gong to a meal.

During the casual conversation during the meal, Zhou Rui found that Zhou Gong was the first to say about all aspects of managing the factory.

When Zhou Rui proposed to let Zhou Gong serve as the chief manager of the Three Towns Oilfield, Zhou Gong was very excited and agreed, and then began to look forward to Zhou Rui After he took over the Three Towns Oilfield, how he would turn losses into profits as soon as possible.

Zhou Rui was taken aback by Zhou Gong's grand blueprint, according to Zhou Gong's example, the secret of the Three Towns Oilfield will soon be exposed.

With the current strength of the Zhou family, let alone the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, even in the face of the Fengwu Festival envoy, the Zhou family may not be able to keep the Three Towns Oilfield.

A super oil field with up to 120 billion barrels of oil reserves, who sees it is not blushing.

So Zhou Rui tactfully instructed Zhou Gong that as long as the Sanzhen Oilfield maintains the status quo, it doesn't matter if you make money or lose money, don't build new oil wells for the time being.

The main role of the Three Towns Oilfield in the future is to serve as a strategic support point for the Zhou family.

Zhou Gong's enthusiasm was extinguished by Zhou Rui, although he was a little disappointed, but he assured Zhou Rui that he would follow Zhou Rui's ideas to manage and operate the Three Towns Oilfield.

Listening to Zhou Rui's parting words, Li Donghu nodded with a serious face, "Major General, rest assured, the First Steps of the 22nd Independent Brigade will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

Guan Guoren also said: "Major General, Commander Li and I must bring out the First Infantry Corps!" ”

Zhou Rui said: "The Three Towns Oilfield is located at the intersection of Fengwu Town, Huanan Town, and Rongbei Town, and the surrounding environment is very complex.

Maybe some people don't want to see our Zhou family's troops, stationed in the Three Towns Oilfield. ”

Guan Guoren patted his chest and said: "Major General, rest assured, with the current strength and weapons and equipment of the First Rank Corps of our 22nd Independent Brigade, even if someone has the idea of attacking the Three Towns Oilfield."

Our 22nd Independent Brigade First Steps Corps is also confident that it will hold the Three Towns Oilfield! ”

Relying on the vigorous support of the three infantry regiments of the garrison brigade, the 1st Regiment of the 22nd Independent Brigade, which had just been established, was under the jurisdiction of eight infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, two baggage battalions, and a regimental guard company, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people, just like the 1st Regiment of the garrison brigade stationed at a different time and space node in Panlong Mountain.

In addition to the German Mauser 98k rifles and Huaxia 54 pistols equipped by soldiers and officers, Zhou Rui also equipped the first step of the 22nd Independent Brigade with 200 Czech ZB-26 light machine guns and 100 German MG-34 general-purpose machine guns, and the firepower can be called luxurious.

It's just that because the lottery card has not yet opened the cannon, the artillery battalion of the 1st Advance Corps of the 22nd Independent Brigade is only equipped with 12 65mm infantry guns, which is slightly weak in terms of artillery fire.

Zhou Rui nodded, "When you arrive at the Three Towns Oilfield, if you have any difficulties, send a telegram, and your family will definitely do their best to support you in an all-round way." ”

After instructing Li Donghu and Guan Guoren, Zhou Rui said to Zhou Gong next to him: "Brother Gong, as long as you don't build a new oil well, you can build the Three Towns Oilfield as much as you want, the money is not enough, send a telegram!" ”

Zhou Gong said with a wry smile: "Major General, the money is enough, in fact, I don't think I need to bring so much, after all, there are nearly 300 oil wells and a large oil refinery in the Sanzhen Oilfield, as long as it is managed properly, it should be able to break even soon." ”

Ganyang City is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the Three Towns Oilfield, and due to the territory of the entire Fengwu Town, there is not even a railway at present.

Therefore, Zhou Gong and Li Donghu can only go all the way to the Three Towns Oilfield.

In order to take over the oil fields of the three towns this time, Zhou Rui purchased more than 600 black horses, prepared more than 600 carriages pulled by black horses, and loaded a large amount of food, ammunition and various daily necessities.

In addition, 10 million silver coins and 2 million gold coins were exchanged, filling more than thirty horse-drawn carriages.

These gold and silver coins will be used for various expenses of the Three Towns Oilfield and the First Corps of the 22nd Independent Brigade, including the payment of military salaries to more than 5,000 officers and men of the First Corps of the 22nd Independent Brigade.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "After all, it is more than a thousand kilometers away, there is no harm in bringing more money, Brother Gong, the Three Towns Oilfield will entrust you." ”
