Chapter XXXIII

Although Sun Tong is no longer the commander of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet, Sun Tong is still a one-handed man in the Zhenwei Naval Fleet.

The new commander of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet, because he has just taken office and is from the Army, has not yet established any prestige in the Zhenwei Naval Fleet.

Under Sun Tong's arrangement, Zhenwei Town spent 25 million silver coins to purchase two Iron Fist-class all-steel battleships and two Seahorse-class armored cruisers, which were successfully received by more than 3,000 officers and men of the coastal defense fleet.

Before dawn on June 26, these four warships and one armored cruiser slowly left the dock of Jingsheng Port and joined the Pinghai and Anhai.

The extra armored cruiser is the Ryan of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet, with a full load displacement of 3,500 tons and a maximum speed of 14 knots.

It is equipped with 2 twin 25x caliber 180 mm main guns, 6 30x caliber 120 mm secondary guns, 8 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 3 380 mm torpedo tubes, and a full crew of 290 people.

Now the Ruian has become the addition of Sun Tong and the Zhou family's transaction, at this time, in addition to the more than 400 naval officers and soldiers under Sun Tong and their families, it also pulled a lot of property, of which Sun Tong's property accounted for most of it.

After the seven warships converged, Zhou Rui immediately received a prompt from the lottery system, telling him to complete the task of "personally receiving four warships", and rewarded him with a one-star lottery card and 10 points.

Zhou Rui's points have reached 60 points, and with another 40 points, he will be able to upgrade to the second level in the lottery system, and when the time comes, he will get a two-star lottery card in the early morning of the first day of every month.

This one-star lottery card was immediately used by Zhou Rui.

What Zhou Rui didn't expect was that this one-star lottery card did not reward silver bricks, but gave Zhou Rui 5 bottles of "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Medicine".

Of the 5 bottles of "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Elixir" that were drawn before, except for Zhou Rui who took one bottle himself, the other 4 bottles were also extracted by Zhou Rui and distributed to four people.

Among these four people, there are no fox and bear.

If you want to say that after Zhou Rui is reborn, the people who can make him trust, Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu, and Li Dongbao must be included in it.

4 bottles of "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Elixir" were given by Zhou Rui to Song Shenghe, Huang Zhigang, Li Donghu and Li Dongbao respectively.

The effect of the "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Elixir" is indeed very strong, and the four of Song Shenghe were originally intermediate martial artists, but after taking the "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Elixir", they were even promoted to senior martial artists one after another.

This made Song Shenghe and the four of them very grateful to Zhou Rui, because Zhou Rui fooled them and said that this elixir was extremely precious, and the main ingredient in it was the dragon crystal of the giant dragon, and each bottle was worth millions of silver coins.

Among the fierce beasts that enter this world from different time and space nodes, there are giant dragons, and every adult dragon is at least a king-level fierce beast, and there are even some adult dragons who are powerful god-level fierce beasts.

The king-level fierce beast is already comparable to the great grandmaster, and the god-level fierce beast is even more comparable to the legendary grandmaster.

There have been several successful dragon slaying operations in the world, and whether it was humans or orcs who slayed dragons, they all paid a very heavy price.

Of course, after the success of slaying the dragon, the harvest is also huge.

Dragonskins can be crafted into leather armor, which is difficult to penetrate even machine gun bullets.

Dragon flesh and dragon blood can promote the cultivation of human warriors and beast warriors.

After the keel is ground into bone meal, it has the same effect as dragon meat and dragon blood.

And the dragon crystal powder ground by the dragon crystal has the greatest effect on the cultivation of human warriors and beast warriors.

The corpse of a king-level dragon, only the most precious dragon skin and dragon crystal, can be sold for tens of millions of silver coins, and it is still priceless.

Song Shenghe and the four of them had no doubts about Zhou Rui's fooling at all, and they could make an intermediate martial artist instantly promoted to a senior martial artist, maybe only the potion made of dragon crystal would have such a magical function.

Instead of Sun Tong, the person who replaced the commander of the Zhenwei naval fleet was called Zhang Ke, and his sister was the twelfth concubine of Xu Wanpeng, the current envoy of Zhenwei Jiedu.

It is precisely by virtue of this relationship that Zhang Ke can be thriving around Xu Wanpeng, and this time Xu Wanpeng even handed over the Zhenwei Navy fleet to Zhang Ke.

Early in the morning of June 26, Zhang Ke had just woken up with a beautiful concubine in his arms, and was about to do some morning exercises, when he was suddenly ruined by a quick knock on the door.

Zhang Ke put on his pajamas, opened the door, looked at the sweaty adjutant and asked coldly, "What's wrong?" It's like losing your soul. ”

"Will ...... General, no! Warship...... The warships are gone! ”

"What warship is missing? Make it clear! ”

"General, the two Iron Fist-class all-steel battleships, the two Seahorse-class armored cruisers, and the original Ruian armored cruiser of the Zhenwei fleet are suddenly all gone early this morning!"

"What? That's impossible! How could five warships suddenly disappear? ”

Although Zhang Ke's words were conclusive, his face was full of nervousness.

"General, not only those five warships, Sun Tong, but also hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Zhenwei fleet are also missing!"

When Zhang Ke heard this, he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the whole person suddenly became depressed.

"It's over! It must have been Sun Tong who drove away the five warships! How can I explain this to the festival envoys! ”

Early in the morning of June 27, Zhou Rui led seven warships back to the military port in Ganyang City.

Song Limin, who came to the dock to greet Zhou Rui, saw Zhou Rui walking down the suspension ladder of the Pinghai armored cruiser and immediately greeted him.

"The Major General has worked hard, plus the five warships brought back by the Major General, the strength of our coastal defense fleet is almost doubled, haha!"

Speaking of which, Song Limin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "Old Song, now there is no shortage of warships in the coastal defense fleet, but there is a serious shortage of personnel, next you must pay close attention to training new soldiers, don't forget that I am also going to buy a few more warships from the Sixth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy!" ”

Song Limin patted his chest and assured Zhou Rui, "Rest assured, the coastal defense fleet will definitely step up training in the future, and will recruit more recruits."

No matter how many warships the Major General buys, the coastal defense fleet will definitely be fully staffed! ”

Zhou Rui then discussed with Song Limin and decided to form the battleship formation of the coastal defense fleet with the flagship Zhenhai and the Jinghai all-steel battleship, as well as the newly acquired two ironfist-class all-steel battleships named Weihai and Yanghai, in the first formation.

The captains of the Weihai and Yanghai were respectively held by Hao Desheng, the captain of the original Golden Dragon, and Liu Tiecheng, the captain of the Yinlong, and Song Limin concurrently served as the commander of the first formation.

The Pinghai and Anhai, as well as the two Seahorse-class armored cruisers named Tonghai and Jiehai, will form an armored cruiser formation, which will be the second formation in the sequence.

The captain of the Tonghai was Chen Yongchang, the captain of the original Beifeng iron-ribbed wooden hull ship, and the captain of the Jiehai, under the strong recommendation of Song Limin, Zhou Rui agreed to be Zhu Shaoqing.

Cai Ming'an, the captain of the Pinghai, will also serve as the commander of the second formation.

The ironclad battleship USS General, the ironclad battleship USS Fierce General, and the armored cruiser USS Brave captured from the pirates will form the third formation with the newly added armored cruiser USS Ryan, which has joined the coastal defense fleet.

The captains of these four warships are all the first mates of the original coastal defense fleet, and the captain of the general, Shi Shan, will also serve as the commander of the third formation.

The light cruisers Dawn and Purple Eagle, the iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships Dongfeng, Nanfeng, Xifeng, and Beifeng, and the offshore gunboats Jinlong and Yinlong will form the fourth formation.

The captains of these eight warships are all the first or second officers of the former coastal defense fleet, and Xue Tai, the captain of the Dawn, will also serve as the commander of the fourth formation.

The first and second formations, as the main formations of the coastal defense fleet, will undertake the tasks of the coastal defense fleet mainly fighting against the enemy.

The main task of the third and fourth formations in the future is to cooperate with the five batteries to guard the Ganyang military port and the Ganyang civilian port, and if necessary, they will also cooperate with the main formation to carry out operations.
