Chen Xin's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a loud voice, "Adjutant, record the order." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes" Without superfluous words, an adjutant opened his briefcase, took out a pen and paper, and with the assistance of others, began to take notes.

"In the next period of time, I asked the Navy Department to prepare for the preliminary reconnaissance of North America and Australia, make nautical charts, and make preliminary preparations.

After the construction of the five-masted transport ship is completed and the sea trials are successfully completed, the cabinet will take the lead in the next step of the overseas immigration plan. ”

"Yes. The subordinates were immediately sent to the cabinet. ”

"Wait."

"Dare to ask what else the king commands?"

"Forget it, don't convey it yet, immigration overseas is a very important and difficult thing, and it is necessary to set up a responsible unit to deal with special things. I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

The adjutant didn't have the slightest nonsense, and said "Yes." He stepped aside.

Then, Chen Xin personally walked on the five-masted sail carrier under construction, and began to start Lao Bai, scanning the overall structure, wanting to see if there were any problems in the manufacturing process.

While inspecting, I chatted with Lao Bai about the construction period.

"Lao Bai, calculate, at the current speed, how long will it take for this ship to be built?"

"Master, this involves the production and cooperation of dozens of manufacturers of all sizes across the country, the technical guidance ability of hundreds of technicians, and the overall work of thousands of craftsmen.

The quality of these personnel is high and low, and there is no way to record the efficiency of various production in detail, so there is no way to accurately count the specific time.

However, based on the previous construction period and construction speed, it will take about three months to six months to complete all the work. ”

"The number you calculated is really big. Forget it, it's good to know a lid, and then, there is still more time, and we can prepare slowly.

With just a few more large ships like this, we will soon be able to get a large number of immigrants to those fertile lands, and one day the flag of the kingdom will be flown all over the world. ”

After finishing his inspection of the Navy Shipyard, Chen Xin attended the banquet for the launch of the new ship.

This is a banquet for all the technical staff of the shipyard, and it is a banquet for the Navy and government departments to express their appreciation for their hard work.

At the same time, it is also a "ritual" banquet specially prepared in order to reverse the previous social discrimination against the craftsman industry.

Chen Xin personally participated in this "ceremonial" banquet in order to convey to the outside world the importance that the kingdom attaches to technical talents.

The banquet took the form of a buffet that was already popular in the kingdom.

The spacious Admiralty mobilization hall was packed with people, and the corners were filled with all kinds of food and drinks.

The kingdom's army forbade alcohol, so even at a banquet, it would not be put on the table.

Of course, there is also a distinction between the prohibition of alcohol in the military, and it is not true that everyone does not drink at all, which is simply unrealistic.

The Navy's ocean-going combat units have the power to be exempt from alcohol prohibition during ocean voyages.

After all, fresh water at sea is inconvenient to preserve, and it will deteriorate in a few days, but alcohol can be stored for a long time due to fermentation.

Moreover, the mental pressure when going to sea was too great, and in later generations, when the army strictly enforced the prohibition of alcohol, even those submariners in the United States were secretly drinking the alcohol in the torpedo.

In order to prevent the sailors from stealing the alcohol in the torpedo, the U.S. Navy Department also made up the fact that toxic substances were added to it in the past, causing its own non-combat attrition.

This kind of secret drinking is unavoidable after being away from the supervision of the locals.

Later, the U.S. Navy had no choice but to make a beer day to solve this problem.

Therefore, Chen Xin also believes that in the high-pressure service, a certain degree of relaxation should be appropriately given, which will be beneficial to military discipline.

For the sake of the safety of the navy's ocean-going sailors, Chen Xin personally presided over a meeting of the Ministry of National Defense and made a resolution that the navy department could fill ships with low-alcohol beverages such as beer and fruit wine during ocean voyages.

However, once they return to the motherland and go ashore, no matter what kind of military rank, no matter what position, as long as they are in government units and barracks and other military facilities, they must be strictly constrained by the prohibition of alcohol, and there is no room for bargaining.

This has always been strictly enforced, and Chen Xin specially organized a military team composed of tiger ben to supervise the army's prohibition of alcohol.

Chen Xin really didn't want to see his army become the sloppy appearance of those drunks in the East and the West during the Cold War.

He had heard enough stories of stealing internal alcohol such as airplanes and missiles, mixing them and drinking them, causing accidents.

If you don't have alcohol, you steal state property and exchange tens of thousands of yuan of military supplies for dozens of yuan to buy alcohol and drink, then you are no longer considered an army, it is a moth.

Therefore, Chen Xin knew that he must not develop the bad habit of drinking in his own army.

Of course, at a banquet, there is nothing to cheer up, and it is not very good.

In order not to make the banquet without alcohol appear awkward and have a negative impact on the overall publicity effect of the banquet, the kingdom has long developed some drinks as substitutes.

Chen Xin looked at the many participants from the navy and shipyards below, looking at each other and getting along with each other, and nodded with satisfaction, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite good.

Chen Xin hopes to use this banquet to send a signal to the outside world that the kingdom attaches great importance to technical talents, and remove some social obstacles for the future development of industrialization.

However, Chen Xin also knew that if he had been there, I was afraid that this banquet would only be a "formality", and everyone would not be able to relax.

So, after giving a short speech and thanking the craftsmen and craftsmen, he left the banquet hall and returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the palace directly?"

Chen Xin nodded with a smile and quipped, "Yes, seeing that in two or three hours, it will be dark, and it is time to go back to the palace, we can't cause trouble to the place." ”

The person in charge of the shipyard also came over to make fun, "Whatever your lord says, as long as you are willing, the shipyard will do its best to sweep the bed." ”

"It's no problem for me to stay here, but I'm afraid that the surrounding military, police and other departments will have a major adjustment of thousands of people. Forget it, forget it, I won't trouble you. ”

"The king waits, and the minister immediately arranges for personnel to go and prepare the carriage."
