Ghost was actually very worried about whether the eight warships of the Ganyang Zhou family would attack when the pirate ships under their hands were withdrawn.

It wasn't until Oni Jianchou took more than 20 pirate ships and was more than 20 kilometers away from the island that Onimichou put down the heart he had been carrying.

In the bridge of the ironclad battleship that was the flagship of the Devil's Sorrow, a henchman asked Devil's Sorrow, "Big boss, where are we going next?" ”

The ghost said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the isolated island more than 100 kilometers south of Xiangshi Island!"

The Zhou family in Ganyang seized Jingsheng City and occupied Xiwei Island, and it will be difficult to make a living in this sea area in the future.

Since we can't afford to provoke it, then we can only hide farther away, let's go to the sea area of the Bajin Empire to reopen, and still eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl. ”

After running away all night, early the next morning, eight warships of the coastal defense fleet entered the port of this small island.

Zhou Rui was very satisfied with the topography of this small island port, and that night, according to Zhou Rui's order, eight warships of the coastal defense fleet left the port again and conducted a night combat readiness exercise in the sea area about 30 kilometers north of this small island.

When the morning dawned and the coastal defense fleet returned to the port of the island, there were already fourteen more huge ships on the berths of the port.

In the bridge of a German Moltke-class battlecruiser, Song Limin said excitedly to Zhou Rui: "Major General, the logos and operation manuals of these warships are actually the words of our Han and Tang Empires.

In this way, the fourteen warships can form combat effectiveness faster! ”

After the 4 German Moltke-class battlecruisers, 4 British Invincible-class battlecruisers and 6 German York-class armored cruisers were extracted, all the logos and operation manuals were the same as the army weapons produced by the lottery system, and all the logos and operation manuals were the text of the Han and Tang Empires.

Although Song Limin was very puzzled about the fourteen warships that appeared out of thin air overnight, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Since Zhou Rui was reluctant to explain too much, Song Limin consciously suppressed his doubts in his heart.

For Song Limin, the most important thing is that the coastal defense fleet has added 14 new warships.

"Old Song, the reason why I chose to hand over the fourteen warships here is because I am worried that these fourteen warships will attract the attention of the six beast nations and cause trouble for our Zhou family.

In particular, eight battlecruisers that had both the powerful firepower of battleships with full main guns and the high maneuverability of armored cruisers. ”

Song Limin said disappreciatively: "Young General, don't worry too much.

Even if these fourteen warships are exposed, there is no need for our Zhou family to explain their origin to outsiders.

What's more, with these eight battle cruisers, the strength of our coastal defense fleet has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Even in the face of the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy stationed on Phongsha Island, our coastal defense fleet no longer needs to be afraid.

You must know that the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire Navy is only equipped with three battleships with full main guns, while our coastal defense fleet now has eight!

As long as we don't take the initiative to reveal it, just looking at the appearance of the eight battlecruisers, the outside world should think that these are eight battleships with all main guns! ”

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up, "Indeed, just looking at the appearance, isn't this just eight battleships with full main guns."

If the coastal defense fleet has eight battleships with full main guns, presumably no matter which beast country's navy, it will have to think carefully before provoking our Zhou family. ”

"What the Major General said is extremely true!

As long as the strength is strong enough in these years, even the six major beast empires have to avoid their edge, such as the navy of the Liang Yan Empire. ”

With a land area of about 3.18 million square kilometers, the Liang Yan Empire is one of the few human countries where the royal family still controls the whole country.

Don't look at the land area of the Liang Yan Empire, it is less than one-fifth of the Han and Tang Empires, but the Liang Yan Empire is the most industrially and technologically developed country among human countries.

The navy of the Liang Yan Empire, in recent years, has been crowned as the strongest navy in mankind.

Just a few months ago, the first all-main-gun battleship independently built by the Liangyan Empire has officially entered the naval service of the Liangyan Empire, and it is three full-main-gun battleships in service at the same time.

Perhaps the navy of any beast country is stronger than the navy of the Liang Yan Empire, but due to the contradictions between the six major beast countries, no one is willing to take the initiative to provoke the Liang Yan Empire, lest their own naval strength be damaged and let the hostile beast country take advantage.

Listening to Song Limin's words, Zhou Rui felt a lot more relaxed, "Old Song, next I need the coastal defense fleet to secretly transfer personnel into this small island, so that these eight battle cruisers and six large armored cruisers can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

Hide the secrets of this small island as much as possible before the eight battlecruisers become combat ready.

In addition, the matter of building a naval base on this small island will also be entrusted to your coastal defense fleet, and you should send me a report on the funds and materials needed.

By the way, do we have to give this island a name? ”

"I heard Zhu Shaoqing say that the pirates call this island Hades Island, it is better for the major general to change the name of this island."

"I look at the port of this small island, which is shaped like a crescent moon, so it might as well be called Crescent Island!"

In the middle of the night on September 17, in a study room in Cui's Mansion in Ganyang City, Cui Wentao said to Cui Hong with a solemn face: "Father, it has been confirmed that the Zhou family has purchased five more star-class all-steel battleships from the Red Tiger Empire!"

Next month, those five Star-class all-steel battleships will be sent to Ganyang Military Port. ”

Cui Hong sighed and said, "Don't those tiger people in the Red Tiger Empire understand the truth of raising tigers?

Why did you sell five all-steel battleships to the Zhou family? ”

Cui Wentao immediately said: "Father, now the six major beast nations have sold some old all-steel battleships to human countries in order to build an arms race of all-main gun battleships.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Zhou family to buy so many all-steel battleships, and they were even willing to exchange the all-steel battleships for two large islands. ”

Cui Hong said with some bitterness: "The Zhou family captured Jingsheng City in Zhenwei Town, and exchanged the warship for the Xiangshi Island of the Zhou family of Jinshui of the Bajin Empire, as well as the Xiwei Island of the Xiyun Liu family.

In terms of strength comparison, our Cui family is obviously in an absolute weakness, and it seems that in the future, our Cui family can only choose to temporarily avoid its edge in the face of the Zhou family. ”

After a pause, Cui Hong continued: "But don't look at the Zhou family's joy now, when the Zhou family cries in the future, our Cui family just needs to wait patiently." ”

"What does Father mean?"

"Xiangshi Island and Xiwei Island are not so easy to swallow, I can't figure out what the Zhou family will choke this time.

By the way, the affairs of the Liu family, don't get involved, the Liu family is completely finished, and the Jiedu Mansion has already given up on the Liu family. ”

Cui Wentao said with some unwillingness: "Father, after all, the Zeyang Yan family is a family over there in Huanan Town, and the Liu family's money village was swallowed by the Zeyang Yan family like this, is Jiedu Mansion really standing by and watching?" ”

"The Zeyang Yan family should have promised enough benefits to Shen Xiao, the envoy of Jiedu, and the Liu family is now only an empty shell, how do you say Shen Xiao will choose?

Liu Yiqiu's girl, don't worry about it anymore, even if you marry Liu Yiqiu's girl, you won't get anything from the Liu family. ”

Zhou Rui had just returned to Ganyang City from Crescent Island when he heard a shocking news.

In the past few days since Zhou Rui left, Liu Yiqiu's second uncle Liu Donghua guarded and stole gold tickets and silver tickets worth more than 100 million silver coins from the Liu family's bank, and then sold them to Yan Shaoqiu of the Yan family in Zeyang at a low price.

Now Yan Shaoqiu is holding the Liujia Golden Ticket and the Liujia Silver Ticket worth more than 100 million silver coins, and asks the Liujia Money Village to exchange it.

Although under the operation of Liu Yiqiu, the Liujia Money Village, which originally had a serious deficit, can be regarded as surviving the crisis caused by the raid of dozens of Liujia Money Houses in Zhenwei Town.

But Liujia Qianzhuang can only be barely maintained, after all, after the crisis of trust occurs, it cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Now there are gold tickets and silver tickets worth more than 100 million silver coins that need to be exchanged, not to mention selling the Liu family's money village, even if all the properties of the Liu family are sold, it will not be possible to exchange gold tickets and silver tickets worth more than 100 million silver coins at all.
