Marshal Zhu Shijian, commander-in-chief of the Liangxia Imperial Navy, returned to his hometown and immediately made headlines of the day.

Even if you look at the world, Zhu Shijian's influence on the contemporary navy will definitely be ranked first, and it is absolutely unparalleled in the same generation.

Even Western military scientists admit that Zhu Shijian is the first person in the navy after Fisher.

In fact, he was the only commander-in-chief of the Navy who served for 20 years after the Great War.

In Zhu Shijian's own words, no matter what it is, if you persevere for 20 years, even if you are a fool, you can become an expert.

Of course, this is mainly self-deprecating.

In a sense, Zhu Shijian represents an era, that is, an era in which the naval arms race died down after the end of the Great War.

A relatively peaceful, but equally thrilling era.

In hindsight, every major event and strategic decision made during the fifteen years of the so-called "naval holiday", that is, between 82 and 96 years of the imperial calendar, will have an impact on the development of the navy, the future global pattern, and even the direction of human civilization.

However, these effects will not be felt until years, if not decades, are delayed.

Also from the perspective of hindsight, in the 20 years that Zhu Shijian served as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, he did not take a wrong step, and all of his strategic decisions and personnel appointments and dismissals without exception made the most ideal, at least the most correct or ideal choice, which was simply impeccable.

Even in the end, there are no exceptions.

There were two headlines of the day, the other being the new commander-in-chief of the navy.

It's still a piece of breaking news.

It is not He Yongxing, who everyone expected, but Liu Changxun, who only became the commander of the Southern Fleet three years ago, and his qualifications and abilities are a lot worse!

Strictly speaking, that's the number one news.

Before this, absolutely no one believed that the commander-in-chief of the Navy after Zhu Shijian would be someone other than He Yongxing.

Although Zhu Shijian's relationship with the He family is not very good, his experience when he was young and what happened during his tenure as commander-in-chief of the Navy made the outside world generally believe that He Yongxing is Zhu Shijian's designated successor. Because the Imperial Navy has a tradition of recommending successors, under normal circumstances, He Yongxing will be the first commander-in-chief surnamed He, and it is very likely that he will lead the Imperial Navy into the next big war.

As for ability, there is nothing to say.

Don't forget, in the last war, He Yongxing earned the nickname "Guia Tiger" and was recognized as the leader of the Young Zhuang faction.

The key is that after Liu Changhe, no one can compete with him.

Liu Changxun? It's so tender!

Before taking the position of commander of the Southern Fleet, Liu Changxun successively served in the Sunset Ocean Local Fleet, the Fanyanyang Local Fleet, and the Southern Fleet Equipment Department. Although he has the experience of commanding fleet operations, he is also a regular professional background, and he also served as a captain on various types of warships before taking up the post of fleet commander, and even went to the submarine detachment for several years to train, but if he really wants to say, he has not served long enough in any position, has no basic plate to speak of, and is far inferior to his cousin Liu Changhe in terms of vital influence.

Not to mention anything else, before he became the commander of the Southern Fleet, many officers and men at the grassroots level did not know him at all.

In the next three years, Liu Changxun did not make commendable achievements.

If you really want to count it carefully, his biggest credit in the position of commander of the Southern Fleet may be the reuse of Liu Xiangzhen and keeping up with the trend of reform.

Of course, this is a bit biased, because before his arrival, Liu Xiangzhen had already been reused.

It's just that it can't be said that Liu Changxun is useless.

Compared with He Yongxing, Liu Changxun's most obvious characteristic is that he has no characteristics, so in terms of combat tactics, he is very good at listening to other people's opinions.

In other words, it is to dare to employ people, and to give extensive authorization.

In his own words, since he doesn't understand, then leave it alone, let the insider do it, and blind command will only show his ignorance.

Under him, Liu Xiangzhen can be said to be like a fish in water.

In addition, he does not have Liu Changhe's kind of gateway view that goes deep into the bone marrow. For example, in the three years after he took office, he invited Bai Zhizhan to go 12 times in the name of exchange, almost once a quarter. In the more than ten years before him, Bai Zhizhan had not gone to the Southern Fleet for exchanges a total of ten times, and almost all of them were going through the motions, saying a few casual words at the reception, and then going home.

In any case, the appointment of Liu Changxun as commander-in-chief of the Navy is definitely an accident within an accident.

It was this accident that diluted the third news of the day.

After the mediation of the Locke Republic, the Luosha Federation expressed its willingness to negotiate with the three countries of the Gulf and the Sea with the joint participation of the international community.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Liangxia Empire issued a call and offered to facilitate the negotiations.

As a result, later in the day, the foreign minister of the Lockham Federation officially said that the deadline would be postponed until before Christmas.

What do you mean?

The Luosha Federation accepted the Liangxia Empire's invitation to negotiate with the three Gulf and Sea powers, but had to achieve substantive results by December 24.

In the evening of the same day, it was noon on the side of the Luosha Federation, and the Luosha army in the border area was relieved of the fighting state and retreated to the rear camp.

At the same time, the airport on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

After watching the plane of Bai Zhizhan and the others take off, He Yongxing let out a long breath, and then pulled his fur coat hard.

It had been snowing heavily all day, which made the chill in the imperial capital a little worse.

"Even now, I have the feeling that I am dreaming."

Hearing this, He Yongxing turned around and looked at Liu Changxun, who had already walked behind him.

A few minutes ago, Liu Changxun sent Liu Xiangzhen and the others away.

"The principal told me that he was going to let me come, and I thought something was wrong with my ears." Liu Changxun smiled bitterly and sighed. "If you really want to say it, it's still appropriate for you."

"I don't know how to do this kind of drudgery of being put on the fire and roasted."

"What about them?"

He Yongxing was stunned, looked up at the southern sky, and saw that the transport plane had already disappeared in the wind and snow.

They!?

"Now, it makes sense?" He Yongxing sighed. "The principal said that if you have the ability, you will go to the battlefield to see the real chapter, and it is useless to talk about it on paper."

"You ...... man"

"It's been 20 years, and it's not too late. Even if it's about to be seen, this play still has to be performed, don't you say? ”

"Well, you say so, it seems that those jars of good wine at home will have to be left for a few years."

After dropping these words, Liu Changxun turned around and walked away.

"We'll say it's okay, we won't drink until we win, don't be foolish!" Shouting at Liu Changxun's leaving, He Yongxing shook his head with a smile.

Everyone knows that Liu Changxun is a member of the Liu family, and he is Liu Changhe's cousin, but few people know that he has been a classmate with He Yongxing for five years, and he is a brother in the upper and lower bunks. In the year of graduation, which was actually the month of graduation, Liu Changxun was admitted to the hospital because of appendicitis and did not attend the graduation ceremony. By the time he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, everyone else had already flown away, and he had gone to the Southern Fleet under the family's arrangement.

At that time, the Imperial Naval Academy was nowhere near as famous as it is now.

Letting Liu Changxun take over is just a step in this big game of chess, a wonderful step.
