On April 5, the eighth year of Gaia, Zhou Yu, the admiral of the Royal Fleet and the general of the Fu Army, was ordered to enter Beijing.

Zhou Yu entered Beijing this time to accept a new appointment.

A few days ago, in view of the imminent annexation of the Egyptian dynasty and the imminent return of Great Xia to the Mediterranean, Ouyang Shuo's proposal, the imperial court decided to restore the Atlantic Fleet from now on.

In fact, as early as April of Gaia's 6th year, the reconstruction of the Atlantic Fleet had already begun, and the training of relevant personnel and the construction of warships were already underway.

The African Protectorate is the base camp of the Atlantic Fleet.

It has been delayed until now that the number has not been restored, also because the situation in the Mediterranean Sea was unclear before, and even if the Atlantic Fleet was restored, nothing would be done, but it would cause the vigilance of European dynasties, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Zhou Yu is the new Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet.

At the same time as the Atlantic Fleet was restored, the Imperial Court would also remove the Royal Fleet. The Royal Fleet will be integrated into the Atlantic Fleet as a whole, becoming the first formation of the Atlantic Fleet.

This was also proposed by Ouyang Shuo.

The original intention of the formation of the royal fleet was to escort Ouyang Shuo and carry out ocean voyages. Ouyang Shuo's two ocean voyages before and after laid the foundation for the empire's domination of the sea.

In the meantime, the Royal Fleet has played an important role.

Today, Ouyang Shuo has no need to sail in the ocean, because the territory of Great Xia has long been spread all over the world, and it would be a waste to raise such a fleet.

In the past two years, the Royal Fleet has basically docked in the Gulf of Tonkin and rarely had the opportunity to go out.

The merger of the Royal Fleet into the Atlantic Fleet not only saves the expenses of the imperial court, but also sends a backbone formation to the Atlantic Fleet, which is very beneficial to improving the strength of the Atlantic Fleet.

In this way, the Great Xia Navy still maintained the establishment of five major fleets, the three ocean-going fleets operated independently, and the two major offshore fleets were subordinate to the Central Plains Theater and the South Sea Theater respectively, defending the coast of the empire.

Naval structure, which tends to be stable.

In addition to the Mediterranean, the defense area of the Atlantic Fleet will mainly operate in the Atlantic Ocean in the future, including South America in the west and Morocco in the east.

South America, in particular, will become a key defense area for the Atlantic Fleet in the future.

The flagship of the Atlantic Fleet, named the Álvaro, was named in honor of the fallen former Admiral.

This is also a kind of inheritance.

This transfer, for Zhou Yu himself, also gained a platform to show his strengths.

After accepting the appointment, Zhou Yu will lead the former Royal Fleet across the Indian Ocean to Africa, where it will join the other four formations and re-establish the name of the Atlantic Fleet.

The first battle was the struggle for control of the Mediterranean.

…………

After sending Zhou Yu away, Ouyang Shuo began to review the chapters.

After the opening of the government, the imperial court successively implemented the major events set by the military and political conference a year ago. In the past March, the Press and Publication Administration and the Sports Department were established one after another.

All kinds of newspapers and magazines have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, greatly enriching the lives of the people.

Subscribing to newspapers has become a new trend in market culture.

In the face of such a novelty, the Supervision Standards of the Press and Publication Administration are rather strict, requiring that no one should arbitrarily discuss major state affairs in newspapers, and that vulgar culture should not be propagated.

Ouyang Shuo's attitude was that he would rather walk slower than too fast, so as not to pull the calf.

Of course, the imperial court also gave great support to some excellent periodicals, such as "Poetry Weekly" and "Quyi Miscellaneous", which were founded by the Writers' Association, and received 10,000 yuan of cultural support funds respectively in order to distribute the journals overseas.

Ouyang Shuo even subscribed to these two publications, and read them when he had time.

The people below can also see that His Majesty has spared no effort to promote traditional Chinese culture.

As the saying goes: "If there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom." ”

Ouyang Shuo's attitude has set off a craze for Chinese studies in local provinces, especially in overseas regions, such as the African continent, where learning Chinese, learning to write Chinese characters, and reciting poems have become a trend.

Cultural assimilation is quietly sprouting.

Such a move, even in the era of the Federation, is difficult to implement, because the game world is a blank slate, let Ouyang Shuo paint, maybe it can really create a new situation.

The announcement of the first games of the empire has also been sent to the whole country, setting off a fitness boom in various places. According to the regulations, in order to ensure the fairness of the event, martial artists are not allowed to participate in sports competitions.

What Ouyang Shuo wants is national fitness and carry forward the spirit of sportsmanship, not let martial artists come out to show off. The stage of the martial arts is the martial arts tournament held every year by the Martial Arts Division.

Prior to the Imperial Games, the provinces will hold local games around June, both to promote this novelty and to select the best athletes to participate in the National Games.

To this end, the newly established Sports Department, for strangers, recruited a large number of professionals who have been engaged in sports in real life, guided the formulation of competition rules, and trained referees and other professionals.

The provincial sports department also followed suit, and solved the employment problem of many strangers at once.

Because of the hasty formation, there must be loopholes to be exploited, but Ouyang Shuo is not worried, as long as it is operational, cleaning up moths, and standardizing the order of the industry, it can be done slowly in the future.

In addition, after giving priority to the development of coastal cities such as Shencheng and Zhenhai City, the imperial court began to increase its support for these cities, in addition to financial allocations, but also to give preferential policies to attract talents.

The industrialization of the empire is moving on a different fast track than before.

The coastal city will burst out with the power of the world's attention and become the new engine of the imperial economy.

The work of abolishing the government is also progressing in an orderly manner.

At the same time as the abolition of a number of officials, the yamen at all levels will also recruit a number of professional officials, and the targets will naturally be non-human groups, so as to raise the professional level of the yamen at all levels.

Of course, recruiting strangers can only treat the symptoms.

Ouyang Shuo's strategy is to start education for all as soon as possible while paying attention to the construction of universities, kicking away private schools, ethnography and other institutions, and establishing a bottom-up education system.

Elementary schools, middle schools, and universities, all in one place.

"Let all school-age children enjoy free and compulsory education." It was Ouyang Shuo's promise.

As a wise old man said, "Education is the foundation of a century-old plan." ”

Gaia can instill knowledge in NPCs, but it can't replace the territory and establish a modern education system.

In the past seven years in Gaia, education spending has accounted for 5.5% of the empire's gross domestic product (GDP), and this year this indicator has been raised to 6%, which shows how much Ouyang Shuo attaches importance to education.

Ouyang Shuo's ambition for education doesn't stop there.

He hopes that in the near future, when he arrives on the planet of hope, NPC children will be able to sit in the same classroom in this virtual world like Inhuman children.

Since then, there has been no distinction between aliens and natives.

I have to say that such ambitions contain Ouyang Shuo's unknown earth-shattering calculations.

It is also the biggest conspiracy planted by Ouyang Shuo so far.

Ouyang Shuo is very sober, don't look at the current Inhuman group gradually integrating into Great Xia, and he also has a certain recognition of the empire. However, for this group of people who have lived in the federal era since childhood, it is impossible for them to recognize Ouyang Shuo's rule from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention, to perpetuate this reign from generation to generation.

If it weren't for Great Xia taking control of their distribution on the Planet of Hope, they would be dishonest now.

The Chinese elite's solicitation of Ouyang Shuo, pushing back and obstructing, and vainly trying to divide Ouyang Shuo's power, is a very obvious sign.

This was enough to arouse Ouyang Shuo's vigilance.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo has no expectations for this generation of strangers at all.

At most, the two sides can only be regarded as taking what they need, and it is a bundle of interests, not anything else.

But the aborigines are different.

Their fathers, from being in the wilderness to throwing themselves into the arms of the empire, the empire gave them a second life, and from the bottom of their hearts, they regarded the empire as their home country and Ouyang Shuo as a holy monarch.

Great Xia has become a kind of faith.

Their descendants have also grown up under the influence of the empire.

Some of them are under Ouyang Shuo's careful cultivation, and they have grown into feudal officials or giants in the army, and they are Ouyang Shuo's most trusted force.

They are the cornerstone of Ouyang Shuo's empire.

With this power firmly in his hands, Ouyang Shuo's position is unshakable.

Giving their offspring the same educational opportunities as the descendants of the Inhumans is diluting the influence of the Inhumans and assimilating them.

After two or three generations, there will be no difference between the two, and they will jointly recognize the only belief in Bactria .

This is Ouyang Shuo's ultimate pursuit.

Just as Ouyang Shuo was reviewing the recitals, Bing'er walked in with a bunch of recitals.
