While the atmosphere in Ganyang City was still very tense, the two armored cruisers of the coastal defense fleet, Pinghai and Anhai, quietly left the dock of Ganyang Military Port on the night of 24 June.

At this time, in addition to the original officers and men of the two armored cruisers, there were also more than 3,000 officers and men of the coastal defense fleet, including more than 1,000 pirates who had just joined the coastal defense fleet.

Most of the human pirates under the command of Cui He, the living king of Yama, have escaped from the beast country and have become homeless.

The more than 1,000 human pirates who were captured learned that they could join the coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City, and they still had a good salary every month, so they were not willing to do so.

So except for the dozens of vicious people who were picked out by Zhu Shaoqing, the remaining pirates all turned into soldiers of the coastal defense fleet.

The more than 3,000 officers and men of the coastal defense fleet on board the Pinghai and the Anhai were ready to receive the two Iron Fist-class and the two Seahorse-class.

This time Zhou Rui also followed, originally Zhou Xiaorong strongly opposed Zhou Rui to take the risk in person, after all, no one knew whether Sun Tong could really do what he said, and hand over the two Iron Fist class and two Seahorse class to the coastal defense fleet intact.

In case this is a trap set by Zhenwei Army, Zhou Ruike will be sent to the door by himself.

Zhou Rui said to Zhou Xiaorong in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Second uncle, I, the head of the Zhou family, can't always shrink back, I will go to the battlefield after all."

What's more, this time it's not going to war, even if something happens, with the speed of the Pinghai and Anhai, they can be safely evacuated. ”

Standing in the bridge of the Pinghai, Zhou Rui looked at the dark sea through the observation window, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

What can't be kept in the back, what is going to go to the battlefield after all, that's all false!

The reason why Zhou Rui had to follow him in person was because the taskbar of the lottery system was refreshed again.

Mission: Personally go and receive four warships. (Reward 1-star lucky draw card, 10 points)

To be honest, because there are 20,000 gold bricks worth 100 million silver coins, which have not yet been withdrawn by Zhou Rui, he doesn't care much about the one-star lottery card rewarded for this mission.

But Zhou Rui didn't know what punishment the lottery system would have if he couldn't complete the task, which Zhou Rui asked about the lottery system, but unfortunately the lottery system did not give a clear answer to this.

Just reminded Zhou Rui that he must work hard to complete all the tasks released by the system.

It was precisely because of this prompt of the lottery system that Zhou Rui had to take the risk of boarding the Pinghai.

This lottery system taken from Wei Jie can be said to be Zhou Rui's biggest reliance after his rebirth, and he doesn't want to let any mistakes in the lottery system.

In the previous life, Zhou Rui was just a gentleman for more than 20 years, and he had been hiding in the Colosseum for more than ten years to feed the beasts.

If eating, drinking, having fun or feeding the beast is also a skill, Zhou Rui has it, as for the rest, he can only hehe.

If there is no lottery system, even if there are more than ten years of memory, Zhou Rui may not be able to think of any way to change the crisis faced by the Zhou family.

Zhou Rui still has a clear understanding of his own ability, so even if he takes some risks, he must complete the task released by the lottery system this time, and he must not let the lottery system have any accidents.

Cai Ming'an, the captain of the Pinghai, saw that Zhou Rui's expression was a little dazed, so he asked with concern: "Major General, are you boarding the ship for the first time?" Are you feeling sick? ”

Cai Ming'an was originally the captain of the iron-ribbed wood-hulled ship Xifeng of the coastal defense fleet, and after Wang Hongchun went to the all-steel battleship Jinghai as the captain, Cai Mingan took over the position of captain of the Pinghai armored cruiser.

In the previous battle with the pirates, the light cruiser that Cui He, the living king of Yama, was riding on when he fled, which was sunk by the Pinghai commanded by Cai Ming'an.

Originally, Cai Ming'an had a very bad impression of Zhou Rui, a gentleman, thinking that Zhou Xiaozheng was seriously injured and disabled, and after Zhou Kang also died on the battlefield, the Zhou family was about to sink.

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Rui took power, the strength of the Zhou family began to soar, and he also became the captain of a large armored cruiser.

This made Cai Ming'an's attitude towards Zhou Rui reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, and now who dares to say that Zhou Rui is not good, Cai Mingan is the first to refuse.

"It's the first time I've been out on a boat, but I'm fine now, I don't feel seasick.

I'm worried about that Sun Tong, whether we can smoothly receive the two Iron Fist class and two Seahorse class as planned. ”

Cai Ming'an pondered for a moment and said, "The two all-steel battleships and the two large armored cruisers of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet have just arrived at Jingsheng Port, and they may not even have much personnel.

Even if something happens, those four battleships should not have any combat effectiveness.

As long as there is no threat from those four warships, the Pinghai and Anhai can get out smoothly. ”

Zhou Rui smiled, "I'm just worried, since that Sun Tong dares to pack tickets and dare to offer 6 million silver coins to our Zhou family, he must have already arranged it."

However, once the situation is not right, let's try not to entangle with each other, and withdraw to Ganyang City first. ”

The sea route between Ganyang City and Jingsheng City is only about 500 kilometers, which is almost 270 nautical miles.

Zhou Rui and the others traveled day and night, and in the early morning of June 26, they rushed to the sea near Jingsheng City.

To Zhou Rui's surprise, Sun Tong directly took three transport ships to the sea to meet the Pinghai and Anhai.

In the bridge of the Pinghai, Sun Tong said to Zhou Rui with a flattering face: "I didn't expect the major general to come over in person."

I've already made arrangements on my side, but in order to avoid any disturbance, the Major General will have to ask your men to take the three transport ships I have brought with me to the port to take over the four warships. ”

Zhou Rui nodded and said, "Okay, I will order the officers and soldiers who received the four warships to board the three transport ships immediately." ”

Zhou Rui is now very relieved of Sun Tong, at this time, not only Sun Tong is on the Pinghai, but Sun Tong's family members are also on the Pinghai.

After selling the four warships of the Zhenwei naval fleet to the Zhou family, Sun Tong had no way to stay in Jingsheng City, and he would take his family to settle in Ganyang City in the future.

In addition, a group of Sun Tong's henchmen in the Zhenwei Navy Fleet will also leave Jingsheng City with their families this time and follow Sun Tong to Ganyang City.

Zhou Rui then said to Sun Tong with a smile: "This time, our Zhou family was able to get two Iron Fist-class and two Seahorse-class, thanks to General Sun.

After returning to Ganyang City, I will immediately deliver the remaining 5 million silver coins to General Sun. ”

The 6 million silver coins promised to Sun Tong were not all delivered to Sun Tong's relatives who were doing business in Ganyang City at once, and the housekeeper Zhou Fu only gave a deposit of 1 million silver coins first.

"Hehe, no hurry, no hurry.

Young General, in the future, the old man is going to live in Ganyang City for a long time, and he has to ask the young general to take care of him. ”

"General Sun is only in his early fifties, where can he be called old, if General Sun is willing, he can serve in my Zhou family's coastal defense fleet."

"I'll forget it, but the more than 400 officers and men of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet who are willing to leave with me, I hope that the Rear Admiral can be arranged to the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet, they are all outstanding in their respective specialties."

"There is no problem at all, our Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, with the expansion of scale, is in urgent need of naval talents.

The coastal defense fleet is willing to accept all of the more than 400 people under General Sun's command, and will retain their original military ranks, and the treatment in all aspects will only be higher, not lower. ”
