The next morning, the early dynasty was changed to the Wuying Palace.

After the routine work summary and debriefing, a special meeting on military and political affairs began.

The main personnel of the Military Aircraft Department, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and the Military Department all participated.

Dai Quheng first presented a new map of the division of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

After the end of the world war, the scope of direct control of the Ming Dynasty increased significantly, and the key world situation changed greatly.

The original area in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is already a little inappropriate.

Originally, it should have been redistributed after the end of the war, but the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang deliberately left this job behind.

After Zhu Jianyan ascended the throne, the adjustment work officially began.

Zhu Jianyan looked at the map in front of him, and Dai Quheng next to him was responsible for explaining:

"Your Majesty, based on the opinions of all parties, it is basically agreed that the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies should not be limited to the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states, but should be strategically deployed in the entire world.

"The Governor's Office of the Chinese Military Governor is responsible for the Ming Dynasty, Tianzhu, Nanyang, Tiannan and the Daming Ocean Islands.

"The Houjun Governor's Office is in charge of Xianbei, Anxi, Lucia, and northwestern Thailand.

"The Right Army Governor's Office is responsible for the vicinity of the Great Qin Sea, the western and southern parts of the Taixi Continent, the Sahara region, the Great Food, Persia, and the Ottomans.

"The former military governor's office was in charge of the sub-Saharan region of Mozhou.

"The Left Military Governor's Office is in charge of Yinzhou, but in fact it is only in charge of Yinzhou north of Panama and the Central Yinzhou Islands.

"The Xintianfu Huangzhuang troops are actually responsible for the South Yinzhou strategy."

Zhu Jianyan has been staring at the adjustment process throughout the whole process, and he has a basic understanding of these situations, and now it is officially finalized.

Confirming that there was nothing beyond the plan, Zhu Jianyan looked at the map and nodded slightly:

"Okay, then it's decided, what about the situation of the new warships now?"

Dai Quheng immediately reported:

"The two new cruisers and two destroyers that were newly commissioned entered service, after completing the last round of tests, entered the Dinghai Shipyard at the Zhoushan Naval Base and began their first refit since they entered service.

"The main thing is to install a ship-wide public address system, and at the same time make adjustments to the problems found in recent use.

"The battleship Intrepid, the aircraft carrier Dinghai, which has not yet been officially commissioned, is being made similar adjustments at the shipyard dock."

For a warship, it is not a special thing to be transformed just after completion, and it is even more normal if it is a test ship.

It is not uncommon to change the drawings after the start of construction, change the design before completion, and add functions before entering service.

Except for some warships that were exhibited immediately after entering service and sank directly when they went out, the vast majority of warships spent their lives in repeated refits.

The warship itself is a huge integrated weapon system.

It's normal to adjust the ship's subsystems during use.

However, the magnitude of the adjustment varies from ship to ship.

In accordance with the agreement of the Daming Navy and the shipyard, the large-scale transformation and mid-term overhaul of the capital ship was completed by the shipyard.

Minor rebuilds of capital ships after they enter service, conversions of cruisers and below after they enter service, as well as routine maintenance and overhaul of all ships, are done by the Navy's own shipyards.

At the same time, the three most important naval bases in the Ming Dynasty, Zhoushan, Jiulong, and Lushun, were actually selected around the three complete shipbuilding bases.

The supporting facilities that can be used by the shipyards of the naval base are actually exactly the same as those used by the specialized shipyards.

It's just that the Navy Yard as a whole is smaller, mainly responsible for the repair and maintenance of ships, and occasionally builds some small boats.

Install the latest version. 】

Zhu Jianyan listened and asked casually:

"What do you think of these new cruisers and destroyers?

"The main thing is that there are enough obvious advantages over previous warships?"

Or Dai Quheng reported as a representative:

"On the whole, they are all satisfied, and the speed, endurance, and weapon projection are far more than the old ships of the same class.

"Although the failure rate is relatively high, it is foreseeable that it will gradually decrease as the construction and repair continues."

Zhu Jianyan asked the military department and the governor's office for their opinions, and then finally made a decision and said:

"Then let's start building in batches and replace the old ones with new ones one to one.

"The old ships are relatively early, and those in poor condition will be decommissioned and dismantled.

"If the ship is in good condition and the hull is relatively new, it will be sold to the countries of Tessie.

"Either send it to a vassal state, or use it as a defense fleet."

The relevant personnel immediately wrote down Zhu Jianyan's meaning, and then Dai Quheng continued to ask:

"Your Majesty, what about the capital ships? Is the construction of the second batch also begins? Is it also a one-to-one replacement for the old ship?

Zhu Jianyan obviously hesitated this time:

"The new 40,000-ton capital ship has doubled the tonnage of the original capital ship, and the cost has more than tripled.

"The cost of replacing the old ship one-to-one is prohibitive, and the point is that the two demonstrators have just been built and have not yet been extensively tested.

"The real same type, the same level of fearlessness, Zhenhai has just begun to try to build.

"It's better to be a little conservative and wait for the Dinghai and Intrepid to complete the basic verification tests before making a decision."

Zhu Jianyan directly took the idea, and this matter was basically decided.

The meeting continued to discuss a number of other issues and finalize more details until noon.

All major matters that needed to be made public on that day were sent to the vassal states around the world in accordance with the central court's practice of reporting important affairs.

Zhu Jingyuan of Liusha City, the Great Food Country, also received the reports of the past two days.

found that the first official video and video of the Ming Dynasty actually asked the Ministry of Rites to speak on the Analects, and Zhu Jingyuan was really a little speechless.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to education, but in many cases it was only superficial.

In fact, there is still no universal primary school education in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jingyuan talked about the habit of self-touching left by the old literati.

But when I think about it, even if it is superficially important, it is much better than not paying attention at all, and I am relieved.

What made Zhu Jingyuan even more emotional was the adjustment of the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

This time, the Ming troops really bluntly stated that they were going to "deploy force around the world".

All the land and sea of the entire region are directly divided into six parts.

It was under the responsibility of five prefectures and one Huangzhuang group army.

When the report was almost finished, Haruka came in from outside and reported:

"Your Highness, Mr. Cheng came to report that the polyethylene material you wanted was successfully made, and asked if you would like to take a look?"

"Good!"

Zhu Jingyuan stood up directly:

"I'll go over now!"

Polyethylene is a plastic, the earliest petrochemical plastic.

For Daming, who has mastered coal chemical industry and synthetic plastics made from natural organic materials, polyethylene may not have much impact before maturity.

But it is very important for the big food country.

With polyethylene plastics, Dashiguo also has a relatively convenient industrial base.

In this era, the vast majority of industries are highly dependent on raw materials.

The first industrial revolution can only be born where there is coal and steel, and the coal and steel conforming mining areas are the best industrial areas.

The Second Industrial Revolution required mastery of crude oil sources and refining technologies.

If the big food country wants to build coal-fired factories and steel factories, then coal and iron ore must be imported, and there is no competitive advantage in the Ming system.

However, if the industry is replaced by petrochemical industry, then the big food country is an absolute resource advantage.

Raw materials and energy can basically be produced in-house, and the main catalysts that need to be imported are needed.

The big food country can have its own advantageous industry.
