On the morning of June 2, Zhou Rui only took four personal bodyguards, and drove a car to the nine-star hotel in the west of the city according to the address given by Song Limin, the captain of the Shuguang.

The Nine Star Hotel can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in Ganyang City, with 12 floors and a manual elevator imported from the Golden Lion Empire.

Zhou Rui had heard that it seemed that the boss behind this nine-star hotel was a lion nobleman of the Golden Lion Empire.

The six orc countries used their powerful military deterrence to force most of the human countries to become the raw material source and commodity dumping ground of the six orc countries.

Due to the division of feudal towns in the Han and Tang Empires, the commercial power of the six major beast countries almost interfered in all walks of life in the Han and Tang Empires.

Zhou Rui's car, which was made by the Silver Wolf Empire, was given to him by his father Zhou Xiaozheng on Zhou Rui's eighteenth birthday, and it cost 8,000 silver coins when he bought it.

As soon as Zhou Rui and the four personal bodyguards got out of the car, a large group of people poured out of the gate of the Nine Star Hotel.

"Young master, it's Miss Sun." Bodyguard Huang Zhigang whispered to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui also saw the colorful figure in the crowd at the entrance of the hotel at this time.

Sun Xiushu, the second daughter of Sun Quan, the lord of Ganyang City, was rated as one of the four beauties of Ganyang City by the children of Ganyang City.

In the last life, Zhou Rui can be said to have been infatuated with Sun Xiushu to the point of going crazy, and even had a grudge with Wei Jie because of Sun Xiushu.

It's a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, and Sun Xiushu has always been quite resistant to Zhou Rui's pursuit.

After the collapse of the Zhou family's power, Sun Xiushu married Wei Jie and became one of Wei Jie's many wives.

Sun Xiushu had also seen Zhou Rui at this time, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

How can you see this annoying guy anywhere?

But what surprised Sun Xiushu a little next was that Zhou Rui didn't post it to be courteous to him as before, but just nodded to himself on the spot.

Until Sun Xiushu got into a car surrounded by several bodyguards, Zhou Rui still stood in place with four personal bodyguards.

This made Sun Xiushu can't help but look at Zhou Rui through the car window, what's wrong with this annoying guy today?

Waiting for Sun Xiushu's car to drive away, Zhou Rui said to the four personal bodyguards: "Let's go in." ”

Zhou Rui's abnormal behavior made Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao feel incredible, and no one knows better than them how obsessed Zhou Rui is with Sun Xiushu, which can be called Sun Xiushu's licking dog.

What's going on today?

Could it be that the sun is rising in the west?

To be honest, until Zhou Rui was reborn, he still thought of Sun Xiushu from time to time in his heart.

But Zhou Rui knew that if he wanted to get a beauty of Sun Xiushu's level, he couldn't do it without strength.

In the last life, why was Wei Jie able to hold a beauty?

That's because the several Fengwu troops stationed in Ganyang City have been captured by Wei Jie through various means, and Wei Jie has actually become the controller of Ganyang City.

Sun Xiushu's father, Sun Quan, if he wants to keep his position as the lord of the city and keep the glory and wealth of his family, he can only obediently marry his daughter to Wei Jie.

And as far as Zhou Rui knew, Sun Quan not only married his second daughter Sun Xiushu to Wei Jie, but also gave his eldest daughter Sun Xiufei and younger daughter Sun Xiuting, who became widows, to Wei Jie as concubines.

So now for Zhou Rui, the top priority is to keep the Zhou family's power in Ganyang City, and he is not ready to continue to kneel and lick Sun Xiushu as before.

In the previous life, it has been proved that kneeling and licking to the end is still nothing.

Sitting in a luxurious room of the Nine Star Hotel, Zhou Rui smiled at the two Tiger Clansmen with tiger heads and said, "Two lieutenant colonels, there may be some people who can afford an armored cruiser in the entire Fengwu Town, but the only one who is willing to buy it may be our Zhou family." ”

The military ranks of the armies of the various feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires were all imitations of the six major beast countries, such as Zhou Rui's father, Zhou Xiaozheng, who was awarded the rank of major general by the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

Major generals are also generals, which is why his subordinates call Zhou Xiaozheng a general and Zhou Rui a major general.

In fact, even the current military establishment of the various feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires is a copy of the six major beast countries.

Both of these Tiger Clansmen wore the uniforms of the Red Tiger Empire's Navy, and both had epaulettes with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

A Tiger Clan member asked in a very lame Han and Tang dialect: "Then your Zhou family, have you decided to buy that Flying Leopard Empire's Ice Blade-class armored cruiser?" ”

"Our Zhou family is very sincere in buying this armored cruiser, but in terms of price, I hope you can be cheaper."

Another Tiger Clan member said flatly: "Impossible! For such a large armored cruiser with excellent performance and short age, 2.2 million silver coins is already the lowest price.

If it weren't for the large number of large armored cruisers in our Red Tiger Empire's Royal Navy, you wouldn't have had a chance to buy them at all! ”

This Tiger Clansman's Han and Tang dialect is more fluent.

In fact, Zhou Rui knew that the opportunity to buy a second-hand secondary capital ship this time was very rare.

You must know that the warships eliminated by the navies of the six orc countries were basically sold to their own hunting groups.

Since the ferocious beast meat can assist the cultivation of human warriors and beast warriors, the higher the level of ferocious beast meat, the greater the auxiliary effect on human warriors and beast warriors.

In this way, the higher the level of beast meat, the higher the price, and the skin, bones, and blood of the beast are also useful, and can be sold for a lot of money.

As a result, both in human countries and in orc countries, there are many hunters who live by hunting fierce beasts, as well as hunting groups composed of hunters.

In the six major beast countries, there are many hunting groups involved in ocean trade, which are actually pirates, who will hunt human merchant ships on the sea, and even plunder the coastal areas of human countries.

The six orc nations not only do not attack these hunting groups that act as pirates, but also secretly support them, such as selling the warships eliminated by the navy to these hunting groups.

Just as Zhou Rui was about to agree to the offer of 2.2 million silver coins, the Tiger Clan who spoke first spoke: "Young Master Zhou, we have another captured Ice Blade-class armored cruiser, but that Ice Blade-class armored cruiser was seriously injured in the naval battle.

Of course, after repairs, the combat effectiveness of the Ice Blade-class armored cruiser will not be greatly affected.

If your Zhou family is willing to buy that Ice Blade-class armored cruiser, we can reduce the price to 2 million silver coins. ”

And another one? Why didn't I hear the second uncle Zhou Xiaorong mention it in the previous life?

Zhou Rui thought about it, maybe Song Limin, the captain of the Dawn in the previous life, did not contact the two naval representatives of the Red Tiger Empire after because of the price.

Therefore, the second uncle Zhou Xiaorong didn't know that the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire still had an armored cruiser of the same type to be sold.

"Where is the seriously wounded armored cruiser now?"

Zhou Rui's face did not show any expression, but he was very excited in his heart.

If you can add two armored cruisers with a full load displacement of up to 8400 tons to the coastal defense fleet, then you will be more sure to deal with the pirate fleet in half a year!

"This time, the three warships that our Red Tiger Empire's Royal Navy is going to sell to the outside world are all docked at the naval base on Phongsha Island."

Pungsa Island is only about 300 kilometers away from Ganyang City, with an area of 258 square kilometers.

Originally, Fengsha Island was also the territory of the Han and Tang Empires, but more than 60 years ago, the Red Tiger Empire occupied Fengsha Island and built a naval base on Fengsha Island.

"Three? So what is the rest of the ship? ”

"The last one is the Buran-class all-steel battleship that captured the Flying Leopard Empire."

The all-steel battleship is an upgraded version of the ironclad battleship, with all steel armor and equipped with a large-caliber main gun, as well as a large-caliber secondary or secondary main gun, and a coal-fired steam engine.

Although the navies of the six major beast nations have already built all-main gun battleships with unified main guns and steam turbine drive, that is, an upgraded version of the all-steel battleship.

However, the combat effectiveness of all-steel battleships is still not to be underestimated, and in the navies of the six major beast countries, many all-steel battleships still hold the position of capital ships.

Zhou Rui heard that there was also an all-steel battleship, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"How many silver coins is that all-steel battleship? I want it! And those two armored cruisers, I want them all too! ”
