Chapter 31 Buying and Selling

The recruit training plan formulated by Zhou Rui is actually a plagiarism of the recruit training of the army under Wei Jie in the previous generation.

In the last life, when Zhou Rui was hiding in the Colosseum, a crippled veteran under the command of the former Wei Jie came to the Colosseum, and Zhou Rui got a lot of information about Wei Jie's army from the mouth of this crippled veteran, including Wei Jie's original recruit training method.

And Wei Jie's recruit training method, the most representative is queue training.

Facts have proven that seemingly useless platoon training can cultivate strict organizational discipline among officers and men and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army to a great extent.

After confirming that the pirates were about to attack, Zhou Rui's sense of crisis suddenly increased, and he found that some things had deviated from the original track, and he must know that the attack of the pirates was half a year ahead of the previous life.

Zhou Rui, who felt the crisis, immediately left Wenrou Township temporarily, and moved directly to the garrison brigade barracks near the military port, not only began to guide the four infantry regiments of the garrison brigade to conduct recruit training, but also practiced marksmanship and melee combat under the guidance of Hu Yi.

Due to taking the "Primary Physical Fitness Enhancement Medicine", Zhou Rui's physical fitness has greatly increased.

In just a few days, Zhou Rui's melee combat has been practiced well, and even his marksmanship has improved rapidly, and the target of fifty meters will no longer miss the target.

Father's words, Zhou Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, although the current Zhou family is much stronger than the previous life, but at this time, he is at war with the other five families in Ganyang City, Zhou Rui is not a little sure in his heart.

The family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, still doesn't know how much power will be hidden in secret.

For the other five families who have been entrenched in Ganyang City for hundreds of years, Zhou Rui will not have any contempt.

Then Zhou Xiaozheng, who was lying on the bed, handed Zhou Rui a piece of paper, "Xiao Rui, you take a look at this first." ”

Zhou Rui took it and looked at it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers purchased by the Zhenwei Army for 25 million silver coins have arrived in Jingsheng City!" ”

"Xiao Rui, I have been planning to leave a back road for our Zhou family outside of Ganyang City.

Although Jingsheng City in Zhenwei Town has a population of only more than 100,000 people, it cannot be compared with Ganyang City with a population of more than 2 million, but Jingsheng City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It also has a natural deep-sea port, which is very suitable for the development of the navy.

In addition, Jingsheng City is directly managed by Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, and there are no other family forces in the city, if our Zhou family can take Jingsheng City, even if our Zhou family loses power in Ganyang City in the future, there will not even be a place to retreat. ”

Zhou Rui admired his father's idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace, if the Zhou family in the previous life could gain another foothold outside Ganyang City, it would not end up in such a tragic ending.

Zhou Rui glanced at the piece of paper in his hand again, which indicated the current deployment of Jingsheng City's troops, including the second mixed brigade of the Zhenwei Army, the Jingshengcheng coastal defense battalion stationed in two forts, and the city defense battalion responsible for the security of Jingshengcheng, and the Zhenwei naval fleet directly under Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

Three months ago, the Zhenwei Navy fleet was beaten by the Xiyun fleet of the Liu family in Xiyun City, and several warships were sunk.

If it weren't for the two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers that had just been purchased from the Flying Leopard Empire, the entire Zhenwei naval fleet would have only one old armored cruiser, five iron-ribbed wood-hulled warships, and two offshore gunboats.

The strength will not even be much stronger than the previous coastal defense fleet of Ganyang City.

"Dad, do you want to attack Jingsheng City now?"

"Alas, it's a pity that even if the battle on the front line is tight, the Zhenwei Army did not transfer the second mixed brigade of the Zhenwei Army to the front line.

The second mixed brigade of the Zhenwei Army is one of the trump card units of the Zhenwei Army, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people, and it is well-armed and well-equipped, which is not something that our Zhou family can eat now.

After all, the vast majority of the garrison brigade are recruits, and the situation on the side of the coastal defense fleet is similar, don't look at the fact that the coastal defense fleet easily defeated the pirates this time, but it can't cover up the problem of insufficient training of the coastal defense fleet. ”

"Dad, what do you mean?"

As soon as Zhou Rui's voice fell, the housekeeper Zhou Fu suddenly walked in, "General, Sun Tong has replied." ”

When Zhou Xiaozheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "How much does he want?" ”

"6 million silver coins, he is willing to hand over the two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers newly allocated to the Zhenwei Navy Fleet to our Zhou family intact!"

"Haha, God help me!

Xiao Rui, with 6 million silver coins in exchange for two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers, do you say this deal is worth it? ”

Sun Tong is the commander of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet.

However, because of the previous fiasco of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet, Sun Tong has been removed from the position of Commander of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet by Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

The new commander of the Zhenwei Naval Fleet was succeeded by a close associate of the current Zhenwei Jiedu Envoy, but this cronie was from the army.

When Zhou Xiao was forming the coastal defense fleet, he tried to win over Sun Tong, but Sun Tong rejected at first.

But over the years, the connection between the Zhou family and Sun Tong has not been broken, and the two offshore gunboats of the original coastal defense fleet, the Golden Dragon and the Silver Dragon, were purchased by Sun Tong.

In Ganyang City, Sun Tong secretly purchased a lot of properties in private, and these industries would also be taken care of by the Zhou family.

Sun Tong was dismissed this time, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, after all, the strength of Zhenwei Naval Fleet was not small compared to the Xiyun Fleet of the Fengwu Army.

If it weren't for Sun Tong's decision to retreat, the entire Zhenwei naval fleet would have ceased to exist.

Sun Tong, who was dismissed, then took the initiative to contact the Zhou family and asked if the Zhou family was interested in the two all-steel battleships and two large armored cruisers purchased by Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

After Zhou Rui knew the ins and outs, he couldn't help but get excited, "Dad, it's so suitable to buy two 'Iron Fist Class' and two 'Seahorse Class' for 6 million silver coins!"

I just don't know if that Sun Tong is reliable or not? ”

The four warships that Zhenwei Town purchased from the Flying Leopard Empire were all captured by the Red Tiger Empire.

Two of the Iron Fist-class all-steel battleships were of the same model as the Jinghai of the Haiphong Fleet.

Two Seahorse-class armored cruisers with a full load displacement of 9500 tons and a maximum speed of 22 knots.

It has 3 twin 40x caliber 230 mm main guns, 6 40x caliber 150 mm secondary guns, 8 30 mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 3 500 mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt is from 40 mm to 100 mm, the main deck armor is 45 mm, the main turret armor is 160 mm, and the crew is 680 people.

Zhou Xiaozheng pondered for a while and said: "That Sun Tong has the ability, but there are more problems, especially greedy for money and lustful, plus he is 52 years old this year, I think he wants to rely on these four warships, and it is very likely that he will make a fortune in the end." ”

Zhou Rui said without hesitation when he heard this: "Since this is the case, how can the 6 million silver coins be handed over to that Sun Tong?" I'll send someone to pull the silver bricks right now! ”

Zhou Rui was so crisp that Zhou Xiaozheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "I really want to know, what a treasure you found?" Take out 6,000,000 silver coins, it's like 600 silver coins!

Sun Tong secretly bought a lot of properties in Ganyang City, and Sun Tong had several relatives in Ganyang City.

If you give money, you can leave it to Ah Fu to do. ”

"Hehe, Dad, anyway, as long as it can be solved with money, it won't matter to our Zhou family!"
