Chapter 314: A Great Change in the Military
During the Xiaoice period, the freezing time on the sea surface was exceptionally early, although it was only the end of October, but the northern sea area of Daming was already a spectacular scene of thousands of miles of ice.
In the Bohai Bay, along the coastline of Liaodong region, in the deep-sea area, an icebreaker flying the red flag of the Chinese Kingdom is slowly clearing the thick ice that has been frozen in this coastal area along the direction of the coastline.
As the icebreaker machines placed on the bow and sides of the ship moved regularly, steel smashed on the ice, violently cracking the freezing problem in front of us, which was originally regarded as unsolvable by manpower.
At the same time, a plume of rich gray smoke erupted from the chimney, and then slowly faded until it was blown away by the sea breeze and drifted down in all directions.
Behind this icebreaker, about a kilometer apart, is a fleet that is not too large, and it also bears the red flag of the Huaxia Kingdom, as well as the military flag of the navy.
Chen Xin stood on the bridge of the all-steel test ship numbered 01, frowned, shook his hands slightly, and dusted off the soot that had fallen on his body, but in an instant, the original white military uniform was dyed irregular black.
"As the old saying goes, if the fork is struck by lightning, don't deceive me." Chen Xin silently complained about this, and at the same time, he looked at this naval dress that he had only worn once.
Originally, the military uniforms of the Royal Navy, except for the initial period, shared the uniform with the army, and later, basically black was used as the main color.
However, Chen Xin, who had not inspected or visited a naval warship for more than a year, thought of the navy soldiers of various countries he had seen before the later generations had passed through, and they were all wearing extremely white military uniforms, and they were extremely handsome.
Therefore, Chen Xin, who had a big brain, privately asked Anya to customize a moon-white naval uniform for him, ready to take the opportunity of this operation to show off to everyone in the navy, and then make another name as a pioneer in military uniform reform.
The moon-white uniform, at the moment of appearance, was indeed amazing, making all the officers who saw this color military uniform for the first time feel a heartfelt love.
However, when Chen Xin stepped on the warship, everything changed.
When I was in the command room, I didn't feel anything, after all, the sealing measures in the command room were extremely in place.
But once the ship was opened, the boiler began to burn, and the steam engine was officially started, when Chen Xin wanted to blow the sea breeze, appreciate the navigation state of the kingdom's navy, and go to the bridge to breathe by the way, he knew that today, it could not be installed.
"Alas, fortunately, the old-fashioned navy uniforms were also brought along, otherwise it would have become a laughing stock when the ships docked and did the pre-war mobilization."
Pinching his nose and slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Chen Xin instructed the people around him to change his clothes, and then strode towards the cabin prepared for him to rest.
When Chen Xin changed into a black naval military uniform, polished his military boots again, and regained the momentum of a monarch, the adjutant reported that the captain of the No. 01 all-steel test ship asked to see him.
"Jun Shang Wan'an, I heard that Jun Shang went back to the room, and the last general was afraid that Jun Shang was in poor health, so he came to greet him."
Hearing this, Chen Xin felt extremely uncomfortable, "Li Qing, this is not your style of speaking, why, you have only been the captain for a year, and you are ready to move closer to the bureaucratic style!" ”
In the face of Chen Xin's ridicule, Captain Li was also helpless, although Chen Xin's tone was still intimate, but he still didn't dare to be the slightest undignified, after all, their military life has been very bad recently.
Originally, they, the senior generals of the military, relied on Chen Xin's favor and even dared not buy the cabinet's accounts.
You must know that except for the operational command of the General Staff Department, which is under the jurisdiction of a department that has nothing to do with the cabinet, all other powers, such as conscription, training of recruits and veterans, transfer of troops, promotion of ranks, research and development of equipment, logistical support, and so on, are in the hands of the Ministry of War, which is really an important department under the jurisdiction of Your Excellency.
The constant greetings of the cabinet were slapping the faces of the ministers of the Ministry of War, but relying on Chen Xin's trust, they insisted on doing so.
The military is so arrogant, why does Chen Xin trust them so much, instead of restricting the military like the monarchs of other countries?
In addition to the fact that the military is basically completely controlled by the tigers, Chen Xin, the rookie king, also has other considerations.
Yes, the military is arrogant and domineering, constantly greeting the cabinet, and the supreme obeys the orders of Chen Xin himself, which destroys the stability and unity within the kingdom, and also disrupts the internal political structure of the kingdom.
However, the military is completely under his control, and the military has not suffered a single defeat so far.
Since Chen Xin personally formed the Xuan Army, the predecessor of the kingdom's army, six years ago, they have been invincible in more than a dozen battles and more than 1,000 battles.
For these victories, thousands of martyrs have been laid in the martyrs' cemeteries that have been established throughout the country, as well as at least the same number of disabled soldiers and officers, who serve as the mouthpiece of the kingdom at the grassroots level everywhere.
These martyrs who are buried underground and remembered are the biggest reason why Chen Xin has always indulged in what the military has done.
Influenced by various literary works before the time travel, Chen Xin originally believed that in this world, the winner is not guilty.
However, since the military itself made a big mistake and almost caused the kingdom's finances to collapse, Chen Xin suddenly realized that this kind of connivance was problematic.
It is precisely this kind of connivance that is destroying the foundation of the kingdom step by step, and destroying the good situation that those martyrs and martyrs sacrificed their lives for.
At this time, Chen Xin discovered that the principle of "not taking evil as a small thing" that the sages knew thousands of years ago had actually been ignored by him.
Now, because of the problems of the military themselves, which have caused a huge crisis to the kingdom, Chen Xin has reflected on his mistakes and quickly made adjustments before the situation deteriorated further.
All the powers of the military that are not within the laws and regulations will be withdrawn, and all the powers that should be attributed to the military department will also be returned to the hands of the military department.
The military justice department, which had not been in use for more than a year, was reorganized, and the gendarmerie, a branch of the armed forces independent of the military, was once again introduced into the armed forces at all levels.
The life of non-tiger officers at all levels, who were arrogant and loosely accustomed to it, suddenly became difficult.
Many officers who had dared to brag and fart in front of Chen Xin in the past were silent in the face of this sudden adjustment, and did not dare to make the slightest change.
Originally, Captain Li was the founder of the Naval Kingdom, a hero of the kingdom, a first-class medal winner, a martyr, and a person who was valued by Kanshu.
Since Kan Shu's death, Captain Li has worked very hard himself, so Chen Xin has taken proper care of him, allowing him to stand out in a few years and serve as the captain of the first all-steel test ship.
Piloting the most powerful warship in the Kingdom Navy, and being one of the highest-ranking people in the navy, this qualification made Captain Li have enough confidence when facing Chen Xin, and dared to joke with Chen Xin.
However, since Chen Xin reorganized the army, when several officers of the same rank around him were taken away by the Department of Military Justice, his mentality changed instantly, and his consciousness was completely sober, no matter how Chen Xin trusted him, he was just a courtier, and they were not friends.
In this way, in the face of Chen Xin's ridicule, he naturally didn't dare to be as unscrupulous as before.
