The Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has seven main fleets in this world, but in order to lease the High Snail Island from the Red Tiger Empire, the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire specially established a new main fleet - the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire.

The Golden Lion Empire is worthy of being the world's largest naval power, and it didn't even transfer any warships from the seven main fleets in this world, but directly transferred a group of warships from the other side of the node in different time and space, and formed the Eighth Fleet.

In addition, the Golden Lion Empire also transferred the 8 battle cruisers that had just been built into the Eighth Fleet, making the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire have a total of 16 battleships with full main guns, 8 battle cruisers, 16 all-steel battleships, 24 large armored cruisers, 48 light cruisers and 48 destroyers.

The battlecruiser just built by the Golden Lion Empire was named the Agile class by the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, with a full load displacement of 27,000 tons and a maximum speed of 25 knots.

It was equipped with 4 twin 45x caliber 330 mm main guns, 16 50x caliber 160 mm secondary guns, 24 30 mm anti-aircraft guns, 24 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 4 550 mm torpedo tubes.

The broadside armor belt was from 100 mm to 220 mm, the main deck armor was 60 mm, the main turret armor was 220 mm, and the crew was 1080 people.

The Agile class battlecruiser is the first battle cruiser built in the Golden Lion Empire, which can only be regarded as a product to test the waters.

However, just to test the waters, the Golden Lion Empire built 12 agility-class battlecruisers at the same time.

According to Danid, the Admiral of the Golden Lion Empire, the Golden Lion Empire is not afraid to build warships with poor performance, and if the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire thinks that the shortcomings of the agile-class battlecruisers are too many, it should provide the Royal Navy with 12 target ships.

There is not only one Zhou Rui in the world.

In terms of building warships, the Golden Lion Empire can always be linked to the four words of wealth.

Sometimes a capital ship, the Golden Lion Empire will build more than thirty ships at the same time in two worlds, and this is not an isolated phenomenon, it is almost the norm of the Golden Lion Empire.

After the Golden Lion Empire and the Red Tiger Empire signed an agreement to lease High Worm Island, the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire soon stationed on High Worm Island, and began to build on High Worm Island, preparing to make High Worm Island the home port of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire.

The arrival of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire has increased the pressure on the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

Now the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet needs to face the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire on Gaowo Island, the Fifth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Red Tiger Empire on Phongsha Island, and the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire on Pusha Island, which can be said to be surrounded by a group of enemies.

On the morning of June 10, 1538, Song Limin, commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, accompanied Zhou Rui to visit the Southwest Naval Military Academy of the Han and Tang Empires, which had just been built in Jingshengcheng.

Standing in front of a six-story building, Song Limin introduced to Zhou Rui: "Marshal, the Southwest Naval Military Academy will directly convert the more than 2,000 cadets of the new crash course of the Naval Academy into the first batch of cadets.

Next, the first batch of cadets will receive a two-year professional study at the Southwest Naval Military Academy.

However, in order to cope with the current shortage of junior officers in the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, the first batch of cadets may be sent to various warships for internship in a few months. ”

Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "Old Song, I need the Southwest Naval Military Academy to continuously provide officers for the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, and the enrollment of the second phase of military cadets should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

In addition, it is necessary to formulate a subsidy standard for military cadets, which can be higher than that of the Southwest Army Military Academy. ”

As early as the end of last year, the Zhou family's Southwest Army Military Academy had been built in Linxing City.

In order to solve the problem of the shortage of officers in the Zhenwei Army and the Jinnan Army, the first phase of the Southwest Army Military Academy was even compressed to half a year.

Now more than 3,000 military cadets in the first phase of the Southwest Army Military Academy have obtained their completion certificates and have been assigned to the Zhenwei Army or the Jinnan Army.

"Marshal, since the Southwest Army Military Academy has set the subsidy for cadets as the standard for second lieutenant officers in the army.

Then our Southwest Naval Military Academy will set the allowance for cadets as the standard for second lieutenant officers of our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet! ”

The second lieutenant of Zhou Jiajun generally holds the position of platoon commander or deputy platoon commander.

Zhou Rui nodded, "Old Song, the subsidy standard, you can just get an idea, go back and make an application report and hand it to me." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Zhou Rui then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old Song, what level can the combat power of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet reach now?"

After the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire is stationed on Gaoluo Island, the enemy that your Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet will face next will be even stronger. ”

Song Limin understood that the arrival of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire not only made him sleep badly every night, but also lost a lot of hair, in fact, even Zhou Rui was under a lot of pressure.

After all, behind the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, there is the behemoth of the Golden Lion Empire.

"Marshal, although there are still too many recruits in our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, after the Battle of Xiangshi Island and the Battle of Shark Island, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet has trained a large number of officers and sailors who have been tested in actual combat.

Even if we face the Eighth Fleet of the Golden Lion Empire, the Fifth Fleet of the Red Tiger Empire, and the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire at the same time, our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet is not afraid at all! ”

As soon as Song Limin's words fell, Hu Yi hurriedly walked over with a telegram, "Dashuai, Fengwu Jiedu poisoned Shen Xiao to death, and now Xiushui City is in chaos." ”

On the evening of June 10, in a study room in the Fengwu Jiedu Mansion in Xiushui City, Shen Du asked his staff member Ding Lin in a deep voice: "What's the situation over there?" ”

Ding Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Eldest prince, now Shen Zhi has sent people everywhere to publicize that the festival envoy is being ......

Now Shen Zhi's Third Division, the 27th Independent Brigade, and the 28th Independent Brigade have begun to deploy defenses in Beicheng District, and they have put on a posture of starting a fight. ”

Although Ding Lin was a confidant of Shen Xiao, he had already secretly taken refuge in Shen Zhi.

Yesterday afternoon, Shen Xiao, the envoy of Jiedu, went to inspect the newly formed 27th Independent Brigade and the 28th Independent Brigade of Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.

These two independent brigades were formed by Shen Xiao's third son, Shen Zhi, Shen Xiao was very satisfied with the training of these two independent brigades, and when he praised Shen Zhi, he even revealed some meaning for Shen Zhi to succeed him as the envoy of Fengwu Festival in the future.

Unexpectedly, someone put poison in the tea that Shen Xiao drank that night.

Although Shen Xiao has many sons, only the eldest son Shen Du and the third son Shen Zhi are really qualified to compete for the position of Fengwu Jiedu.

As soon as Shen Xiao revealed that he wanted Shen Zhi to inherit the throne of Fengwu Jiedu in the future, he was poisoned, and of course Shen Du was the most suspicious.

At this time, Shen Du's face was very ugly.

Although Shen Du was very annoyed that his father had not yet determined that he would be the next Fengwu Festival Envoy, he had never considered murdering his father's life.

Maybe there was a thought like that occasionally flashed in his mind, but Shen Du strangled that thought in an instant.

Shen Du gritted his teeth and said, "What does he want to do, third child?" Do you want to do it with me in Silk City? ”

"Eldest Prince, maybe Shen Zhi really thinks so.

After all, the Jiedu envoy did not make a will, and according to the rules of inheritance of the eldest son, the eldest prince should be the new Fengwu Jiedu envoy.

However, Shen Zhi should not be reconciled and let the eldest prince smoothly inherit the position of the Jiedu envoy. ”

A fierce glint flashed in Shen Du's eyes, "Mr. Ding, you help me stabilize my second uncle and my three cousins, and strive to get a few of their troops to stand on my side."

If the third child really doesn't know what to do, I have to teach him a good lesson for my father! ”
