Chapter 615: The Five Great Capitals Command the Envoys
"All of them!"
"Salute!"
The wind rode by, the steel guns were like a forest, and the soldiers accepted Zhu Dashuai's review with the fullest spirit and the most high-spirited attitude.
After the fork in the Xinjin Agricultural Reclamation Area, Highway 1 continues to the core area of the Xinjin Peninsula and Xincaofeidian.
Along the way, the fortresses suddenly became dense.
At each checkpoint, there are sentinels who need to be checked for identity.
In fact, when you get here, there is still a lot of traffic on the road, but most of them are red military vehicles.
Xinjin is the gateway of Gongwei Fengdu, and it is also the location of a series of military enterprises such as the Third Iron and Steel Plant of the Ming Dynasty, the First and Second Shipyards, the Xinjin Gun Factory, and the Xinjin Airship Factory.
Nowadays there are no nuclear bombs, no strategic bombers, and no threat to dense buildings, so bringing these military-industrial enterprises together can maximize cost savings.
Not only the cost of industrial chain and logistics, but also the cost of military defense.
Based on the Jukino Defense Line of the year, Xinjin relied on the winding and fragmented terrain to build a series of pillboxes and towers, bringing the spirit of Ningyuan to the extreme.
Zhu Fugui's old friend Robert Lee once had the honor to visit Xinjin.
He stood for a long time, and said, "If my Northern Virginia Corps were to take care of this, I think I would need 30 million men." โ
Robert Lee called Xinjin "the unfallable city" and "the Vienna of North America".
Fortunately, he didn't say anything "Constantinople of North America", otherwise Zhu Fugui would have to add some condiments to his nutritious cereal.
However, Zhu Fugui still prefers to call this place "the fishing city of Shangyinzhou".
With the promotion of the Voice of the Ming Dynasty and initiatives including access to history textbooks at German primary schools, Diaoyu City now has some fame in Europe.
At least the German kids, they may not know Beijing, they don't know Fengdu, but they must know the Diaoyu City.
The small city in Chongqing has gone to the world without anyone knowing.
All in all, Xinjin's defense forces, like Diaoyu City, are infallible enough to serve as the most important military port and R&D base in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Fugui did not come here today to inspect the arsenal and military research institutes, but to drive directly across the sea-crossing bridge to Xincaofeidian.
Of course, it is said to be a sea-crossing bridge, but in fact it is only a little more than 2 kilometers away, and in an instant, a white building appears in view.
The banner with the word "justice" written on it hunted and sounded.
"Your Majesty, why is it that only the Navy has a 'Justice' coat of arms?"
Just now, Zhu Fugui and Xiao Liu were talking about fertility, and Yin Susu remained silent all the way, and now he finally asked a question that he had always been very curious about.
"Well...... this"
Zhu Fugui did not hide it, saying,
"The duty of a soldier is obedience, and it does not matter whether it is just or not.
But because the cause of the Ming Dynasty to revive the Chinese nation is natural and just, the army of the Ming Dynasty is also natural and just.
So the Royal Army does not need to flaunt justice at all.
But the Navy is different......"
Zhu Fugui paused and asked, "Do you think that some time ago, the Ming Royal Navy participated in the conquest of Catholic and Voodoo blacks by the Black Worship of God in West Africa, and even the vendetta, is this just?" โ
"This ......"
Yin Susu thought for a moment and said, "The concubine thinks that if you look at the grand narrative of the final decisive battle between the Huaxia and the Aryans, this is just, but if you talk about the facts, I am afraid it is difficult to call it justice. โ
"Exactly."
Zhu Fugui nodded, "The navy is different from the army, in addition to defending the empire's maritime frontier and shipping routes from threat, the Ming Royal Navy will inevitably be involved in complex incidents that the strength of the 'Blackwater Security Company' is not enough to deal with."
The adult world is like this, sometimes, the more you lack something, the more you have to emphasize something, it's not just to convince the locals, but to make your own people believe, so ......"
Yin Susu nodded, then smiled, covered her mouth and said, "The concubine understands, so Your Majesty always says that she is an oriental cannon, right?" โ
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
Zhu Fugui angrily grabbed her into his arms and pinched her face fiercely: "Oh, damn Ms. Susu, if you're still so naughty, I'm going to slap your ass with my cannon tonight!" โ

Conference Room of the Headquarters of the Navy.
Today's award ceremony is not large-scale, and it is not held in Tianziyan Square or other open-air venues, but only an indoor ceremony.
There were only about 20 officers attending the meeting.
But the standard of today's investiture ceremony is extremely high.
Because today's title is not awarded by the Navy, but by the whole army.
At the same time, it was also a meeting to announce the names of the commanders of the major theaters.
As a matter of fact, there are great drawbacks to the Navy and Army being formed separately.
In the previous wars of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the War to Resist France and Aid the Japanese, it was difficult for the sea and land to integrate and coordinate, and the signs of not being able to reach a tacit understanding between each other have already appeared.
This situation has developed to the extreme, and it is the bad situation in history that the Japanese Navy and Army have been red deer and stumbling on each other.
Of course, the hatred between the Japanese navy and the army can be appealed to the grievances of the powerful feudal period in the southwest, and the Ming Dynasty did not have such historical baggage.
However, it is common for the separation of land and sea to be difficult to coordinate, and it is not uncommon for one side to misjudge and injure the other.
Therefore, Daming learned a lesson and decided to replace the original vertical management with the theater system.
The Navy Headquarters and the Army Headquarters under the Ministry of War are only the units in charge of logistics and personnel.
The Generalissimo's Office has commanding envoys in all theaters, and it is the unit in charge of training and operations that is truly in charge.
The only exception is that among the provincial-level units, each provincial government and the Propaganda Department retain a small number of active combat units directly under them to deal with emergencies and eliminate rebellious mobile units, and they have the right to act cheaply.
Such an exception is, of course, a reluctant move.
After all, similar to Nanyang, the Western Regions, Mobei, and even Korea, Wa, Vietnam and other places, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must work together with civil and military forces to strike vigorously and resolutely.
Therefore, it cannot be disarmed in the short term.
Of course, the troops they retain are only some divisions of type B and type C, and it is impossible to create a fact of secession.
The most important combat force of the Ming Dynasty is the command of the five major theaters under the dual management of the Marshal's Mansion and the Ministry of War.
That is, the Northern Yin Theater is the commander of the embassy, the South Yin Theater is the commander of the embassy, the Pacific Theater is the commander of the Embassy, the Shenzhou Theater is the commander of the Mission, and the Atlantic Theater is the commander of the Mission. (pictured)
