Chapter Thirty-Six: Factions and British Cuisine

"Factions?" Mo Yan felt a little puzzled and asked Nelson:

"Am I not a Navy man now?"

"Of course you're from the Navy, but the Navy isn't monolithic! If you think about it carefully, even the shipwives under an admiral will be divided into different factions such as Britain, Germany, the United States, and Japan according to the prototypes of their old generations. Ship mothers, let alone the admirals who are humans. ”

Nelson gently shook the tea in his cup and continued:

"The Navy is the most important and largest force of the Commonwealth, both militarily and politically. I believe you also have experienced the status and treatment of the Admiralty of the Navy, whether it is the army or the political faction in the interior, it is completely incomparable with the navy. ”

"However, in this way, the power that was originally a constant control of each other will lose its constant system, and the stronger and stronger navy will gradually escape the control of the Federation."

"However, as long as the deep sea exists in this world, the status and importance of the navy will continue to increase, and it is completely impossible to limit and weaken the navy. The group of inland dignitaries who had the most fierce attitude towards the navy were even directly bombarded by the ship's mother! ”

"Can you imagine that scene? The ship's mother unfolded her ship's outfit and fired directly into the crowd! ”

"Unlike the deep sea, human beings do not have the ability to resist the ship's mother, let alone the determination to oppose it!"

"The admiral who ordered his ship's wife to fire into the crowd was not punished, and the political faction that opposed the naval system has been in ruins."

"However, the ship's mother who fired at the crowd lost control after three months and was finally secretly executed within the navy."

"Since it is not advisable to directly confront the navy, the only way to do this is to divide the navy and involve all the forces in the navy."

"That's where the many factions in the Navy come from."

"And all you have to do is choose one of these factions to join."

"Only a naval admiral with factional support can support and maintain the normal operation of a town guard."

"I've learned from my conversations with Draco that you seem to be eager to build a town guard of your own. So, make your choice! ”

Nelson said everything he didn't know what to say or what not to say in one fell swoop.

"Even if you say so...... I don't even know what factions are in the navy! Mo Yan smiled wryly and looked at Nelson.

"Didn't Tianlong tell you?" Nelson was a little strange, Tenryu had discussed this matter with her more than once or twice.

"Maybe it's not time yet! Tenryu-sensei, she didn't know that I would build Akagi. ”

It seems that the communication between himself and Teacher Tianlong is still not in place, Mo Yan sighed secretly.

"Then let me introduce you!" Nelson put down his half-empty teacup and motioned for Penelope to refill her tea.

"Although the factions within the navy may seem complicated, they can actually be classified into the three major factions."

"Aristocrats, dignitaries, armies!" Nelson dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote these six words on the table.

"The aristocratic faction, as the name suggests, mainly represents the interests of the aristocratic system handed down from the old generation, and some capitalists and businessmen also rely on the aristocratic faction. The advantage of the aristocratic faction is that it has a deep heritage and a wide network of contacts and connections. ”

"The faction of politicians represents the federal government itself! Most of the big capitalists, bankers, and officials in the interior are under this faction. This faction is also the one with the most abundant resources and the deepest political capital, and from the perspective of establishing a town guard alone, the political faction has the greatest advantage. ”

"The army faction represents the interests of the navy itself and the ship's mother, and the free admiral and independent shipwrecks like Tianlong, who don't want to be clamped down, rely on this faction. This faction has the advantage of being extremely influential along the coast, and its armed forces are also the most powerful of the three factions, but the disadvantage is that resources, equipment, and funds are controlled by the other two factions. In recent years, although due to the gradual stabilization of the front line and the recovery of sea transportation, there has been some self-protection ability, but the situation on the front line and sea transportation has been deteriorating recently. ”

After Nelson had roughly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the three factions, he fell silent, waiting for Mo Yan's choice.

"I said I was going to choose for myself, but I didn't have to choose it at all!" Mo Yan smiled bitterly, "I'm like this, I've been branded as an army since I became a commander, even if I want to join the other two factions, do you think they'll want me?" ”

"If only you understood!"

Nelson nodded. She was about to say something more when Galatea suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sir Nelson, dinner is ready, when are you going to eat?"

"Is it already done? Then I'll go to the restaurant first, and I'll just talk while eating the rest of the content. Nelson looked at Mo Yan, "I remember that you Orientals like to talk about things at the dinner table, right?" ”

"I don't like it, do you...... Mainly because the atmosphere at the dinner table is a little more relaxed. So it's not so much that I like to talk about things at the dinner table, but that it's easier to get things done in a more relaxed atmosphere. Mo Yan thought for a while and said.

"Whether it is or not." Nelson stood up and gestured to the restaurant, "Let's fill our stomachs first!" ”

Mo Yan, who was already a little hungry, naturally had no opinion on Nelson's proposal, and after beckoning the three shipwives to let them come together, he followed Nelson into the restaurant not far away.

The decoration layout of the restaurant is relatively simple in modern style, with bright windows and spacious.

The dining table is a long teak strip table, about four meters long, enough to accommodate a dozen or so people to dine together.

The meal had been laid out long before Mo Yan and the others came in, and they could be eaten directly when they were seated.

After taking a seat with the ship's girls, Mo Yan quickly glanced at the food on the table.

Fish, chips, broccoli, carrots, mashed potatoes, sausages, bread, tomatoes, and pies that I don't know what to use.

It's all very quintessentially British food, and while there's nothing dark about stargazing and chocolate eggplant, it's not much better than the one in the cafeteria, as Nelson boasted.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept, after all, it's a British system that has been cursed by cooking, and the food made can actually be eaten.

Thinking like this, Mo Yan picked up the knife and fork, first cut a piece of roast sausage, threw it into his mouth and tasted it, and then cut a piece of browned unknown pie, and after eating, he tasted the mashed potatoes mixed with fried fish and curry sauce.

"Well, it's not as unpalatable as I imagined, I always feel a little disappointed......"
