Chapter 34: Improvisation

Bai Zhizhan relaxed, but Gui Boyong became nervous.

In less than half an hour, Gui Boyong wiped his sweat ten times, and he was already sweating. Whenever Bai Zhizhan raised his voice, he would hold his breath and concentrate.

In fact, I didn't dare to breathe out because I was nervous.

It's all to blame for stopping the war.

If it weren't for the Navy Headquarters, if he hadn't been in front of Zhu Shijian, Gui Boyong would definitely drag Bai Zhizhan down, and maybe he would beat him severely.

This guy has been analyzing, corroborating and explaining the views of the Cheng Conservative faction.

For half an hour, his every word was about how fast it would take to build a battleship in order to defeat the Western powers in the next big war.

These words that are as unnutritious as shit, do you want him to say them, let him go to the commander-in-chief and say them!?

If he only has this opinion, it is two hundred and five.

Until the end.

"The art of war says: The good attacker moves above the nine heavens. The first emperor Shiwu the Great had a hadith: Only practice can test the truth. While I don't know if change will bring the Imperial Navy back to power, we all know that without change, the Imperial Navy will certainly not be able to regain its strength. As mentioned before, if the navy is built in the original way, it is necessary to continue to maintain the standard of two powers, and the armistice cannot be signed, and the war must be fought. Since you still have to fight, why don't you need to endure humiliation and bear the burden for decades, why not go and fight the enemy to the death now!? ”

The front is okay, but the last sentence is obviously serious.

Bai Zhizhan is also very self-aware, and after venting, he closed his mouth.

At this time, there was silence in the conference room.

"Slap, slap, slapβ€”"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After He Yongxing took the lead in applauding, the officers of the Shaozhuang faction sitting here reacted and also applauded, expressing their support for Bai Zhizhan.

On the other side, the faces of Liu Changhe and other Chengwen faction officers were very ugly.

Bai Zhizhan touted the Cheng Wen faction for half an hour, and the last sentence took a big turn, saying that the Cheng Wen faction's point of view was worthless.

The point is, I can't refute it yet.

Do not forget that an armistice is the basic rhetoric.

I haven't even found the right tone, so what else is there to debate?

After more than ten seconds, Zhu Shijian coughed dryly, and the officer of the Shaozhuang faction stopped very interestingly.

Zhu Shijian did not comment on Bai Zhizhan's point of view, but just turned his attention to Liu Changhe.

In fact, Bai Zhizhan did not put forward a clear point of view. If you really want to say anything, only the first sentence of the summary paragraph, that is, the sentence in the Art of War, can be regarded as a point of view, but it is not emphasized, nor is it emphasized, let alone expanded to elaborate in detail.

It's not so much an opinion as an argument.

Liu Changhe didn't say anything, pretending not to notice Zhu Shijian's gaze.

"I thought the top 10 graduates of the Naval Academy were so good, but that's it. There is so much nonsense that there is not even a clear point of view. While Liu Changhe remained sinking, the brigadier sitting next to him spoke. Finding a problem is not a good thing. The Imperial Navy does not need to find problems, but not solve them, and if they have the ability, they will come up with solutions to solve them. ”

This weird tone of yin and yang made Bai Zhizhan have goosebumps all over his body.

It's just that before he could speak, Gui Boyong dragged the microphone over. It's just that Gui Boyong also didn't seize the opportunity to speak.

"Being able to identify problems and clearly understand the problem is also a skill!"

At this time, Zhu Shijian finally spoke.

If Gui Boyong is allowed to refute it, I am afraid that the scene will get out of control.

The brigadier general of the Southern Fleet was obviously stunned, and when he was about to refute, he suddenly closed his mouth again, perhaps Liu Changhe kicked him under the table.

It doesn't look like it's a light kick.

Actually, this kick saved him.

confronted his superiors in public, and he was still the commander-in-chief of the navy, even if Zhu Shijian pulled out his pistol and finished him with one shot, Liu Changhe could only stare dryly.

Do not forget, now is wartime, the wartime military law enforced!

"The problem is true, but what we need now is not to criticize our colleagues, but to find a solution." Liu Changhe personally took over the topic. "Until a more effective way is found, that is, before the path of change that Captain White said, continuing to build capital ships and expanding the size of the fleet is still an effective means to safeguard the interests of the empire and ensure the development of the navy, and it is still the only feasible way at present!"

"Captain Bai Zhizhan has already said that the good attacker moves above the nine heavens." He Yongxing stood up at this time. "The importance of aviation has long been proven, and it is an indisputable fact that aircraft can pose a threat to warships. In time, the air force will certainly be able to change the face of naval warfare. ”

"It's just a threat!" The brigitlet general on the other side snorted coldly.

He Yongxing didn't answer, and put on an unreasonable appearance.

"More than 20 years ago, we missed the opportunity to lead the trend of development because of our old ways, so that the kingdom of Bran and other powers had the opportunity to grow and develop. Could it be that we will once again miss the opportunity to let the Western powers lead the development trend of the navy? ”

After speaking, Gui Boyong still looked angry.

At this moment, the conference room was lively.

The two generals started the conversation, their top assistants started the conversation, and then the officers below spoke freely and performed with all their might.

Bai Zhizhan did not participate.

Actually, he regretted it a little.

If he had known that it would make the contradiction more serious, he would not have said it so directly, at least he would not have pointed the finger directly at the Conservatives and the Southern Fleet.

Is it useful to quarrel?

It doesn't work at all!

The reason is clear, don't say that the officers of the Cheng Conservative faction do not understand the correctness of the reform and the strength of the army, and the Imperial Navy can stand alone in the world by reform.

In fact, the Liangxia Empire was able to stand on top of the world because it was constantly changing.

The most representative is the constitutional reform half a century ago.

The reluctance of the Chengwen faction to face change is only driven by interests. Fundamentally, the Liu family does not want to see the He family grow up in the navy.

Negotiation can resolve conflicts, and quarrels have no effect.

At the beginning, Bai Zhizhan was also a hot head, or a quick tongue. Before those few words were uttered, no thought was given to the consequences at all.

Bai Zhizhan had to admit that he was still too tender.

Fortunately, the person who holds the decision-making power will never be rash.

"Enough!"

"Smack-"

While shouting loudly, Zhu Shijian also slapped on the table, and with a lot of strength, the teacups jumped up.

"You are all elegant navy, don't be like mud legs!"

After Zhu Shijian said this, the conference room immediately fell silent.

This is the famous quote of Marshal Chen Bingxun, and the mud leg refers to the army.

"The armistice will definitely be implemented, and we must also abandon the two-power standard, and we can no longer rely on brute force to bully our opponents as we did in the past. Change is an inevitable choice, but Admiral Liu Changhe is not wrong, we don't know how to change yet, so we must first find the direction of change. After glancing at the two generals, Zhu Shijiancai continued: "Today, we have swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat, but we can't let future generations, I believe that the two of you also think the same, and are forced to admit defeat again after decades." ”
