readx; "Okay, ambitious!" The captain of the Navy in the recruiting office continued: "Our navy is fighting for the people to eat meat every day! ”

"Of course, when you come to be a navy, the food is naturally top-notch, much better than the army, and when you mix with the non-commissioned officer, you can eat whatever you like in the non-commissioned officer canteen on the ship, and that is to eat beef and lobster every day!" The captain said this to everyone who came to the Navy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Navy, like the Army, has adopted a compulsory military system, which means that no military pay is paid, only a small amount of subsidies are given. To be honest, today is 1923, in recent years, the rapid economic development, there is also some inflation, the subsidy of four yuan is not high for the income of urban residents, generally in the big city even if it is a pure coolie who carries a bag at the dock or pulls a rickshaw, he can earn seven or eight yuan or even a dozen yuan a month. But what is the biggest advantage of joining the army, that is food!

Other ordinary jobs can earn 10 yuan a month, at least half of which has to be spent on eating, and this is still a variety of grains, and meat can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays. However, even if it is the army with the worst food among the three armies, it is full of white rice or white steamed buns every day, you can eat as much as you want, and the meat is also available at two ends in three days, not to mention those low-income personnel with a monthly income of less than ten yuan, and even those civil servants or teachers who get dozens of yuan a month cannot guarantee that they can eat like this every day, after all, their dozens of monthly salaries still have to support a large family, and it is good to be able to cut meat a few times a month. And the navy is even better, the navies of both countries are under the British division, in order to learn the essence of the naval power, the navy is fully Westernized, the combat orders in the navy that the people of the capital accuse of fake foreign devils are all in English, the officers even often talk with Chinese and English, and the diet is naturally completely Westernized and eat bread and steak. And eating steak every day is something that those middle-class petty bourgeoisie who talk about Western food, red wine and coffee every day can't enjoy.

In China and China, where the standard of living of the current society is skewed, in order to maintain the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the level of food provided by the armed forces is far higher than the average living standard of the people in their own countries. Because if you don't give such a high-level meal, you can't meet the training requirements of the soldiers, and if you don't give such a good food, it is estimated that these high-intensity training will not take a few days to train the soldiers to be skinny. In order to provide a high level of food supply for the army, whether it is China or the capital, it is basically maintained with the strength of the whole country, and this can only be achieved under the condition that railways and sea canals are popularized and there is no large amount of grain consumed on the road.

In order to be able to live a life of eating white rice every day and the employment arrangements after retirement, countless young people want to join the army, which is the reason why the supply of soldiers is still sufficient after changing the conscription system to the compulsory military system.

"The replenishment of troops must be ready, in addition, the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Shanghai Arsenal must also be fully prepared, and as soon as the fleet returns home, I will let the fleet immediately be able to carry out emergency repairs, and strive to restore combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time!" After Sa Zhenbing ordered a few of his subordinates, he hurried to the presidential office building.

After entering Chen Jingyun's office, the first thing Sa Zhenbing saw was Yan Jing Kuang, and Yu Shifeng, the director of the Presidential Office Secretariat, had too many official affairs to deal with, so most of the affairs accompanying Chen Jingyun were handled by Yan Jing Kuang. After seeing Yan Jing Kuang, Sa Zhenbing said, "Director Yan, is the president available?" ”

Although Yan Jing Kuang was also a little proud after becoming the deputy director of the secretariat, he didn't care much about other high-ranking political officials, but for Sa Zhenbing and Shen Gang or other commanders, Yan Jing Kuang still put his posture very low, and immediately personally served tea to Sa Zhenbing: "Sa Lao, wait a minute, the president is giving instructions on official business in the office!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang did not immediately go to Chen Jingyun's office to report after speaking, but continued to accompany Sa Zhenbing to drink tea, Sa Zhenbing is also an old bureaucrat, seeing Yan Jing Kuang so naturally, he knew that Chen Jingyun was dealing with important affairs at this time, although he came to report on naval affairs today, but it was not yesterday's kind of emergency military report, so this kind of waiting is not in the way. In addition, Yan Jing Kuang personally accompanied, so he also talked to Yan Jing Kuang.

Yan Jing Kuang said: "In yesterday's battle, your navy has a big face, and the president has been smiling since hearing the news, and even with a few of his subordinates, it is a lot easier!" ”

Shut down

Speaking of yesterday's naval battle in the East China Sea, Sa Zhenbing also smiled slowly, and did not shirk but said: "Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it has been more than 20 years since the rebuilding of the navy, and the officers and men of the navy have worked together for 20 years to achieve today's results, and this is also indispensable for the cooperation of the president's support and political axe, if it were not for the hundreds of millions of funds in the past few years, how could we achieve today's results!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang smiled and said: "That's right, your navy has taken so much military spending in recent years, and the army has a lot of grievances, and Shen Lao has been nagging in my ear!" ”

The battle between sea and land has long been clear, and Yan Jing Kuang's words are not considered to provoke the relationship between the two armies, and Sa Zhenbing also doesn't care: "The army takes a lot more military spending every year than our navy, and this takes so much military spending every year, if Brother Shen can't get a good result in the northeast, I'm afraid next year's military spending will not be so good!" Sa Zhenbing said with a smile.

Yan Jing Kuang also smiled: "This is also what I said!" ”

Yan Jing Kuang's identity is a little special, he is not a person from the military, nor is he a person with a political axe, he is just a person from the presidential palace like Yu Shifeng, Chen Cai, Chen Weitong and others, and there is only one boss above his head that is Chen Jingyun, and after sitting on the deputy director of the secretariat, he does all the private things related to Chen Jingyun, and the more secrets he comes into contact with Yu Shifeng, the more he knows, in addition to staying in Chen Jingyun in his life, there is basically no possibility of holding an important position in the political axe. So when it comes to talking, he doesn't care much about other things, although his posture is low in the face of these military and political bigwigs, it doesn't mean that he is inferior to them. Yu Shifeng, Chen Cai and even Chen Weitong didn't care about other people's eyes at all, Chen Cai dared to openly play the role of An Hualin and Zhuang Nan, the cabinet bigwigs, although he Yan Jing Kuang was only the last one in this small group of people, but he still dared to scold those so-called military and political bigwigs, and when these people asked to see Chen Jingyun in the future, they had to call him whether they wanted to or not: "Director Yan!" ”

Yu Shifeng, Chen Cai, Chen Weitong and Yanjing Kuang are the closest people to Chen Jingyun, and all of them are very old, and they are all people who have been with Chen Jingyun for more than ten years. Moreover, those presidents and deputy ministers are still held every five years, but they have been sitting in this position for more than ten years and have not moved their positions, and when it comes to power, they are much stronger than most of the presidents and deputy ministers of the government affairs council.

Although the two seem to be very different in age, these two are old officials who have been playing politics for more than ten years, which naturally does not worry about no topic, and after chatting for a long time, Yanjing Kuang's heart moved, and then said that his third brother is working in the Ministry of Communications, but now three out of twenty still haven't started a family, and if he doesn't get a family, he can't get back that surname, which makes him feel worried. And when Sa Zhenbing heard this, his mind was already turning quickly, looking at Yan Jing Kuang's tone, it seemed that he wanted to get married! Sa Zhenbing knew that he would soon retire from the position of chief of the Admiralty, although his sons were also considered to be successful, it would still be very difficult to support this family business, and if he married Yanjing Kuang at this time, I am afraid that there would be a lot of benefits. Speaking of which, there are many people who want to marry Yu Shifeng, Chen Cai, Chen Weitong and even Yanjing Kuang in the two terms of military and political affairs, and even Shen Gang, who has no daughter, hurriedly pulled his own niece to marry Chen Weitong, which can be regarded as tying up the Shen family and the Chen family, and Yu Shifeng himself has already married, and there are no younger brothers and sisters or anything like that, and his father is also a lone seedling, so there is no way to marry, and Chen Cai was born in the Chen family in Liuhe Lane, and this marriage has long been personally designated by Chen Yu's family. He was already an orphan, and he had no relatives.

This is still Yan Jing Kuang's advantage of marriage, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister below, the second brother married the daughter of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications a few years ago, and the younger sister married Rear Admiral Zhuang Dafu, the remaining third brother, Yan Jing Kuang just wants to climb the relationship with the navy, and the relationship with the navy is naturally the most reliable marriage with the chief of the navy, Sa Zhenbing, and at this time he didn't know that Sa Zhenbing was ready to resign and retreat behind the scenes.

After thinking about it for a while, although he didn't have a suitable daughter or granddaughter, he still had a granddaughter, and after thinking about it for a while, that is to say, one of his granddaughters was also very naughty, and he just graduated from Nanjing Girls' High School and went to Shanghai alone.

Speaking of this, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled very tacitly.

Just when the two of them were about to continue the next topic, the door of Chen Jingyun's office was pulled open from the inside, and Sa Zhenbing saw that Cai Ning came out of it, although he was dressed neatly, the flushing on his face still did not dissipate, and Sa Zhenbing, who had become a human spirit, immediately took his eyes back, and guessed what Chen Jingyun was doing in the office just now. However, Cai Ning is Chen Jingyun's woman, which has already been made public in the military and political leadership, although there is no official title, but outsiders seem to be husband and wife, and Cai Ning gave birth to a son to Chen Jingyun in 1920, but what a large group of people don't understand is that Cai Ning has no children at home, how can she continue to work if she is not at home, and she still does the work of a second secretary.

Seeing Cai Ning come out, Yan Jing Kuang and Sa Zhenbing stood up one after another, and when they stood up, Yan Jing Kuang lowered his voice: "Let the third brother who is not a weapon go to the house to sit in a few days!" ”

Sa Zhenbing nodded secretly when he heard this, at this time Cai Ning also stepped on high heels and walked out, although she had already given birth, Cai Ning's figure was not out of shape, which looked more charming, but even if it was charming, Sa Zhenbing and Yanjing Kuang didn't dare to look at it more, this woman is not an ordinary woman, but Chen Jingyun's woman, although she does not have the same reputation as the other three ladies, but she is still Chen Jingyun's serious woman, if this annoys this woman and makes her blow the pillow wind in Chen Jingyun's ears, maybe this career will come to an end.

Cai Ning smiled gracefully: "Sa Lao is here, he is waiting for you!" ”

Saying that, he also went out by himself, Sa Zhenbing immediately followed Yan Jing Kuang into Chen Jingyun's office, Chen Jingyun was dressed neatly in the office, and after seeing Sa Zhenbing, he said: "Chief Sa is here!" ”

Then Sa Zhenbing began to report the details of yesterday's naval battle and after the naval battle like Chen Jingyun!
