The Star Class was the first all-steel battleship in the Red Tiger Empire, with a total of 14 units built.

However, 9 of them were sunk in several foreign wars of the Red Tiger Empire, and accidentally sank during training.

The star-class all-steel battleship, with a full load displacement of 11,000 tons and a maximum speed of 16 knots, is equipped with 2 twin 35-caliber 280 mm main guns and 6 35 times caliber 200 mm secondary guns.

12 40-caliber 65-mm rapid-fire guns, 10 30-mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 13-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 4 450-mm torpedo tubes.

Broadside armor belts from 100 mm to 180 mm, main deck armor 50 mm, main turret armor 240 mm, full crew of 680 people.

According to the performance of the star-class all-steel battleships, among the navies of the six major beast countries, they are relatively backward, especially after the navies of the six major beast countries have been equipped with all-main gun battleships.

But no matter how you say it, the Star class also belongs to the category of all-steel battleships, and it is still one of the most powerful warships in the navies of various human countries.

You must know that in the navies of many human countries, ironclad battleships are well-deserved capital ships.

5 Star-class all-steel battleships were suddenly placed in front of Zhou Rui, where would Zhou Rui not be interested.

"General Fraso, as long as the price is right, I am very willing to buy all 5 Star-class all-steel battleships."

Gridye next to him couldn't help but say with emotion at this time: "Young Master Zhou is really rich, if Young Master Zhou is really willing to buy those 5 star-class all-steel battleships, Flaso and I should be able to help." ”

When Zhou Rui said goodbye to Frasso and Grideye, Flaso and Gridye each had five more Liu family golden tickets with a face value of 1,000 gold coins in their pockets.

As for whether Zhou Rui can buy those 5 star-class all-steel battleships?

How much does a Star-class all-steel battleship cost?

They all had to rely on Frasso and Gridye to operate through their relationship, and they promised Zhou Rui that they would do their best to facilitate the deal, and would try their best to help Zhou Rui get a low price.

After Zhou Rui left, Gridye frowned and asked Fraso: "The empire's embargo on human countries has not been lifted, we have spared no effort to sell so many all-steel battleships to this Young Master Zhou, there will be no problems, right?" ”

Frasso smiled and said, "What could go wrong?"

We have sold warships to the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City before, but they have all been approved by the Imperial Admiralty.

Besides, by selling some outdated warships to humans in exchange for large sums of money, you can build more battleships with full main guns.

The victory or defeat of the future naval battle will inevitably depend on the number of battleships with all main guns!

What's more, now it's not just our Red Tiger Empire that sells warships to humans, other beast countries seem to have begun to sell some decommissioned warships to some countries and forces of the human race. ”

Gridye was still frowning, "I'm worried that if this continues, the human navy will become stronger and stronger. ”

Frasso suddenly laughed and said, "My Excellency, you are a little worried.

What if a human force like the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City sold them dozens of all-steel battleships?

Without the ability to build ships, even the ability to repair warships is almost non-existent, and even artillery shells have to rely on imports, what threat can such a fleet pose to our six major beast countries? ”

Gridye shrugged, "Maybe you have a point, but of course I'm just worried, the money should be earned or earned." ”

"Haha, Gridye, what you said is right, if we can facilitate the transaction of 5 Star-class all-steel battleships, the two of us will definitely make a lot of money!"

Because of taking the "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Drug", Zhou Rui's alcohol consumption soared, and after drinking two meals in a row, Zhou Rui was only slightly drunk.

Zhou Rui took his sister Zhou Yue and a large group of bodyguards, and was about to leave the nine-star hotel, when the chief steward of the nine-star hotel, the lion man Holke, with a human about forty years old, suddenly stopped Zhou Rui.

"Young Master Zhou, this is Director Fang Dongru, he has something to do with you." Holke said to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui is no stranger to Fang Dongru, now Fang Dongru is already a very well-known film director, he will be more famous in the future, and even shot two movies with a box office of more than 20 million silver coins.

"Young Master Zhou, contemptible Fang Dongru, I don't know if I can delay your time a little, please have a cup of tea.

Miss Chu Yingying and Miss Zhao Yan are also waiting for Young Master Zhou. ”

Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan are both popular female movie stars in the Han and Tang Empires today, until Zhou Rui was reborn, these two female movie stars were still active in the film industry, and they had already become movie queens.

What are a big director and two popular movie stars looking for themselves?

Do you want to invest in making movies?

No matter what he is looking for, Zhou Rui is still very willing to meet two beautiful movie stars.

"I admire Director Fang's name, and it is my honor to have tea with Director Fang, as well as Miss Chu Yingying and Miss Zhao Yan."

In another private room of the Nine Star Hotel, Zhou Rui met Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan, two female movie stars, and felt that their real people seemed to be more beautiful than in the movie.

Chu Yingying is definitely a beauty of Liu Yiqiu's level, and Zhao Yan is at least a beauty of Sun Xiushu's level.

"I don't know what happened to Director Fang, Miss Chu and Miss Zhao inviting me over? It's not really for tea! Hehe. ”

Fang Dongru hurriedly gave Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan a look, and Chu Yingying immediately said in a coquettish voice: "Young Master Zhou, I took the liberty of inviting you over this time to invite you to join the Purple Star Pictures founded by the three of us. ”

Zhao Yan followed and said: "Young Master Zhou, let's not hide it, Purple Star Pictures is currently in a huge financial crisis and urgently needs a large amount of money to invest.

Sister Chu and I learned that Young Master Zhou was the biggest local tyrant in Ganyang City, so we asked Director Fang to invite you over. ”

It turned out that Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan each invested 1 million silver coins two years ago to create a film company, and later pulled the well-known director Fang Dongru into this film company.

However, the three of them were busy filming movies, so they handed over the company to a person named Xia Wenwen to run it.

With the influence of Chu Yingying, Zhao Yan, and Fang Dongru, by constantly taking mortgages from money banks in various places, and using only the principal of 2 million silver coins, a cinema line has been established for Purple Star Pictures in less than two years.

Today, there are 160 movie theaters under Purple Star Pictures, covering most of the cities in the six towns in the southwest.

The Six Towns in the Southwest refers to the six feudal towns in the southwest of the Han and Tang Empires, including Fengwu Town, Zhenwei Town, Boting Town, Huanan Town, Rongbei Town, and Deyang Town.

Since the film industry of the Han and Tang Empires is currently in a stage of vigorous development, the common people of the Han and Tang Empires are also willing to spend money to watch movies in the cinema.

However, in order to build these 160 movie theaters, Purple Star Pictures has borrowed more than 40 million silver coins from money banks in various places.

Next, Xia Wenwen was still not satisfied, and hoped to continue to use leveraged commercial means to expand the theater chain of Purple Star Pictures to the remaining eighteen feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires, as well as Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires.

The problem is that Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan are only in their twenties after all, and they have already been frightened by Xia Wenwen's radical business operations, and the loan of more than 40 million silver coins almost overwhelmed Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan.

The two of them only hope to maintain the scale of Purple Star Pictures, relying on the ticket income of 160 movie theaters, and pay off the loan of more than 40 million silver coins as soon as possible.

In the end, at Fang Dongru's suggestion, Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan fired Xia Wenwen's squid and appointed a relative of Fang Dongru to take charge of Purple Star Pictures.

never expected that after Fang Dongru's relative took control of Purple Star Pictures, he not only allowed cronyism and filled his own pockets, but also turned the originally profitable Purple Star Pictures into a loss.

What makes people cheat is that this relative of Fang Dongru also defrauded Chu Yingying and Zhao Yan of the power of attorney, and borrowed a high-interest loan of 8 million silver coins from a bank in the Silver Wolf Empire, with a monthly interest rate of up to ten percent.

After the high-interest loan of 8 million silver coins arrived, Fang Dongru's relative disappeared directly with the 8 million silver coins, and even swept away the little funds left in Purple Star Pictures' account.
