"I think, looking at the navies of all countries in the world, I'm afraid that no country's navy allows its generals to keep dogs on ships! Warships are used for combat, and although officials are required to live on the ship, after all, this is a place for combat, not for recreation. As a pipe band, Deng keeps dogs on the ship, which shows that he is not a good general. Deng can be regarded as the best general in the Beiyang Navy, and if he is still like this, the other generals and soldiers are even more corrupt. …… With such a navy, how can it be undefeated? It can be seen from the fact that Deng raised a dog on a warship, and he can understand the military situation of the Beiyang Navy and its combat capability. ……”

They sound righteous and strict, and they are the truth, and it really seems that there is a certain amount of truth in what they hear. The presence of pets such as cats and dogs on a warship of the modern navy is indeed a serious violation of discipline, and how can cats and dogs be defiled in such a solemn and sacred place as a warship? Then, a logic has been formed: since it is forbidden to keep cats and dogs on the current warships, the appearance of the "sun" on the latest warship of the Beiyang Navy Division "Zhiyuan" is simply a blasphemy against the navy, and the owner of the dog is precisely the leader in the officer corps of the Beiyang Navy -- Deng Shichang, a national hero and a registered admiral! Then another logic also leads from this: Since Deng Shichang, who is a leading officer of the Beiyang Navy and known for his strict management of the army, has so disregarded military discipline, then the military discipline of the entire Beiyang Navy can be imagined, and the answer to be proved in the end is nothing more than the "Mainstream" view of history, which has been propagated countless times by the "great, glorious, and correct" "Mainstream Historical View" of "The First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, not in terms of equipment, but in the inferior quality of the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division." This is in line with the long-held notion that "the role of man comes first".

Lin Yiqing had also heard all kinds of discussions about Deng Shichang and the "sun" dog in various media before, and he didn't care about it at first, thinking that it was just a mayfly, how could he shake the towering tree of "national hero"? However, the development of things later was far from being as simple as he imagined - in the later generations when the online media was highly developed, nothing was impossible. In an era when information sources were highly rapid and diversified, the people's ability to read and understand did not improve as rapidly as the rapid expansion of sources, and the consequence was that even if they were nonsense, they could have a very wide impact among the masses -- a large group of "people" and "patriotic youths" on the Internet strongly demanded that the "relevant departments" of Weihai City remove the "sun" dog in the bronze statue of Deng Shichang!

Fortunately, not everyone is so easy to fool, many people use practical actions to maintain the British name of Deng Shichang and the "Sun Dog", and the historical friends led by the Naval History Research Society have cited a large number of examples and historical photos, so that people can understand what else is walking on the deck of the warships of the navies of the world in the same period and even later days as Deng Shichang.

The navigator Magellan once said: "Loneliness, despair, and sustenance are synonymous with sailors." "In order to ease the mood and liven up the atmosphere on board, many sailors brought animals to the warship, which slowly evolved into a tradition. By the 19th century, pets on warships had become a common practice in navies around the world. Moreover, pets are no longer limited to cats and dogs used to catch rats, rabbits, monkeys, antelopes, cows, eagles, chickens, parrots, and even bears, tigers, lions, leopards and other animals have also appeared on the warships of the navies of various countries. Deng Shichang raised a dog on the "Zhiyuan" ship, which is actually a normal thing.

In the perilous seas of wartime, the role played by these shipboard pets must not be underestimated. They soothe the hearts and morale of war-torn officers and soldiers who yearn for a normal life, and their status is comparable to that of chaplains. As long as you experience the feelings of those crew members who are swimming on the line of life and death, no one will think that there is nothing wrong with having pets on a warship. However, in later generations of China, in order to achieve the goal of being unconventional and sensational, some people will talk about Deng Shichang and his "Taiyang" loyal dogs, but they will completely ignore the pet cows on the "Matsushima", the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the eagles on the "Takachiho", and the parrots on the "Akitsuzu".

Thinking of the unwarranted slander of Deng Shichang and his dog in later generations, and thinking of Lin Yizhe's untimely death by the so-called "Shilin Qingyi" since his crossing, Lin Yiqing's heart was both sad and resentful.

Since Lao Tzu has traveled to this era, if you don't eradicate your bullshit and angry ancestors, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Lin!

"Wang! Woof! The sun dog saw that Lin Yiqing was a human being, and immediately barked at him.

Lin Yiqing carefully looked at the huge black-backed and yellow-bellied giant dog in front of him, it looked very much like a German "blackback" military dog, but Lin Yiqing noticed that its mouth was shorter than the "blackback", and its ears were drooping, and he judged that it was actually a modified pastoral dog produced in the Central Plains.

The sailor leading the sun dog was afraid that it would hurt Lin Yiqing, so he tightened the rope, but the strength of this fierce dog was amazing, and it slammed it and almost tore the sailor down.

Lin Yiqing stared at the eyes of the sun dog, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at the sun dog, the sun dog looked at Lin Yiqing, suddenly stopped barking, and slowly quieted down.

Seeing that Lin Yiqing easily tamed the sun dog, a hint of surprise flashed in Deng Zhengqing's eyes.

"Mr. Luo also knows how to train dogs?" Deng Zhengqing looked at Lin Yiqing and asked.

"I just understand it." Lin Yiqing smiled slightly.

It was impossible for him to tell Deng Zhengqing that for him, subduing such a fierce dog was actually a trivial matter.

When he participated in the international training camp in the tropical jungle of South America, he had a special class to subdue the beast, but the object of the subdued beast was not a fierce dog and a wild wolf, but a black jaguar......

Deng Zhengqing looked directly into Lin Yiqing's eyes, and at this time, he found that the eyes of the young man in front of him seemed to be very similar to a person......

At that moment, Deng Zhengqing invited Lin Yiqing into the official cabin of the "Princess Heshuo", and seemed to be aware that Lin Yiqing had something important to say to himself, after entering the cabin, Deng Zhengqing withdrew the sailors, closed the hatch, and entertained Lin Yiqing himself.

The sailors of the "Princess Heshuo" were amazed by Deng Zhengqing's abnormal behavior, but they didn't say anything, but withdrew according to the order, but there were a few more guards at the door.

"Mr. Luo, please be seated." Deng Zhengqing invited Lin Yiqing to sit down on a chair, then picked up the coffee pot and poured Lin Yiqing a cup of steaming coffee.
