Chapter XVIII The State of the Navy
The last naval battle ended in a crushing defeat on the side of the Ming Kingdom, but after all, such a large fleet, although the ships were sunk, the crew still survived a lot of people, although compared with the people who couldn't come back, the number was much worse.
After many people have seen the power of the deep sea, it is common for them to be frightened, after all, a few high-level deep sea with dozens of junior brothers, annihilating an entire fleet, human beings will always have an instinctive fear of the power they don't understand.
If in the first two years, it is impossible to say that the Navy Military Department will "recall" them one by one, and the soldiers who already have skills will always come faster than the newly trained, and of course they must be screened one by one, and after psychological counseling, education will be good and luring, so there is no such thing as "deserters" in the navy; after all, soldiers who have had this kind of experience must voluntarily go to the battlefield, and they must not force them with their lives.
When Zhao You inquired about Baidu's personal serial number, the relevant departments of the Navy responded, if it was usually the next day at the latest, someone would come over, and the pilots of the HNA were very "expensive", but now the Navy itself has been in chaos.
But the current situation is that the huge fleet built by tilting the financial resources of the Ming State for three years, with the last hope of the Ming Kingdom, still failed to become a bargaining chip for the reversal, but was wiped out.
Therefore, whether or not the navy is retained now is a debatable issue.
The capital of the Ming Kingdom is Shuntianfu.
A young naval officer sat upright on a chair sitting in a palatial corridor, with epaulettes of two bars and four stars, the rank of colonel.
But at this time, the soldier listened to the quarrel in the room, and his brow furrowed.
The meeting was not about abolishing the navy, but about whether to implement a ban on the sea, which prohibits sails from entering the sea.
Once the ban on the sea is implemented, the navy will exist in name only, perhaps called the rivers and lakes army or even the navy, and then the troops will be withdrawn and reduced, and there will be no vast coastline to defend, and such a huge naval system will be too bloated.
The door opened, and a group of people walked out with red faces either happy or sad, and it seemed that they had really made great efforts before.
Seeing the soldiers sitting in the corridor, different people have different emotions in their eyes.
An old man in a white navy uniform walked out, with some vicissitudes of life and sadness on his face.
Seeing this, the young soldier stood up, saluted, and followed without saying a word.
Outside, the young soldier opened the door, the old man sat in the back, he sat in the co-pilot, and the car started slowly.
"Lu Chang, Navy...... I'm afraid it's going to be over. The old man slumped weakly in the back seat, looking out the window, his eyes were very blank.
Lu Chang, who was in the co-pilot, heard this, and although he had to be prepared, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
The old man sitting in the back of the car is the current supreme naval officer Zhu Yuliang, is the commander of Lu Chang and is also Lu Chang's teacher, Lu Chang became the navy at the age of 16, a year later boarded the ship, at that time in Zhu Yuliang as the captain of the ship, seven years of wind and rain, the reason why the career is so smooth is on the one hand superhuman talent, extraordinary perseverance, on the other hand, it is also Zhu Yuliang's fancy and cultivation.
To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it can't be fought in this naval battle, Lu Chang can see it, and Zhu Yuliang can see it even more.
But this battle has to be fought, now human beings can no longer afford to lose the sea, the loss of the sea in the past three years, the economy of the Ming Kingdom has been greatly hit, the country has invested a lot of money in the navy, important to make some achievements, the people's call to recapture the sea is getting higher and higher, the navy has really survived in the cracks.
They were soldiers and had the obligation to go to the battlefield even if they died, so they went.
Going to the battlefield does not mean sending them to death, so the combat intention of the Navy General Staff Headquarters is to liberate the coastal waters first, and retaking the sea is just an inspirational slogan, but the sky does not obey people's wishes, and a team of 3rd order deep sea shatters their dreams.
"Lu Chang, let's start the compensation work for this battle, and it doesn't matter to the current navy to raise problems."
The news of the Navy's defeat is still being blocked, so the compensation for the casualties has not yet begun, and once the large-scale compensation begins, the Navy will probably become the target of public criticism, and the people's criticism will also become another new reason for politicians to dismantle the Navy, and it is really not important to the Navy now.
"Got it, sir!"
"And now that the navy is in chaos, the inspectorate and the law enforcement team will be handed over to you, if there are rats who want to steal our food at this time, no matter who deals with it directly, just give me a list afterwards."
"Hmm!" Lu Chang's eyes were also a little red.
"Lu Chang, I should have gone out with the fleet like you before."
"Chief,......" Lu Chang saw that his old chief was determined to die.
"Chief, we still have a chance!"
"Opportunity? I have been adrift at sea for 40 years, I have fought pirates, I have had friction with Maozi, and those countries in the south are constantly arguing, the most thrilling one is with the fleet on the other side of the sea, it is really two lines of array, just the order to fight, or the first shot of the sailors on both sides, I am not afraid of the fleet of any country on the earth, because we can win, there is a chance to win, this time I really can't see any hope at all. ”
"But it's okay, at least I can leave my name in history, the navy that has been inherited for 600+ years will finally be lost in the hands of my Zhu Yuliang."
"Xiao Liu, find a lake to stop for a while, I want to hear the sound of water waves."
"Yes, Chief."
A few people drove to a lake.
The lake has been treated for many years, the water is very clear, and there are weeping willows planted next to it, and there are some leisurely people fishing here, although there are warning signs erected next to the water that are dangerous and no swimming and fishing.
The three got out of the car, the guard also wanted to take out the folding chair, but was refused, the three walked to the shore, looked for the fishermen to fish not far from the steps and sat down, several fishermen looked at the three soldiers behind them with a little weakness, and saw that they did not come up to stop themselves and then relieved.
The sky is not beautiful, today's wind is very small, the waves are very weak, for Zhu Yuliang, who is used to hearing the waves, it is like a strong wine to white water, but he doesn't care now, he suddenly feels a little homesick, or thinks about the sea that has been drifting for decades, maybe after a while, the navy will decide that it is time to return to the old man and return to the sea.
Zhu Yuliang, who was immersed in his own sorrow, was disturbed from his thoughts by the quarrel of a few fishermen not far away.
The old man suddenly felt a little upset, looked at the sign next to him that was prohibiting fishing, and said faintly: "Fishing is prohibited here." ”
