Chapter 1770: old friends new life
Gavra's brilliance comes from the navy.
Now that the Admiralty has reiterated this point, people can't help but recall the past glory, as if as long as the Navy comes back, they will be able to lead them out of the haze again!
The Admiralty then talked about some plans for naval reform.
It is not correct to say that it is a reform. It is too late to reform the navy now, and the navy honestly has nothing to reform.
They have the most advanced battleships, the largest guns, the best navy in the world, and naval commanders.
From a purely naval point of view, they have no room for improvement, they are the ceiling of this world!
However, in other respects, they are still somewhat lacking.
For example, the sea-based air force, Gavra's sea fortress has been launched, and the two ships are "Inlis" and "Elberron".
Both of them are very famous grand dukes in the past of Gefra, and of course, these two sea fortresses can also be collectively referred to as "Grand Dukes".
Compared with the previous ship names such as Princess Princess and Knight Commander, the "level" of these two sea fortresses has been improved a lot.
There is a saying in the Navy that this naming method will continue to improve.
It is still only the Grand Duke level, the next level should be the prince level or the eldest son level, which can also be called the real "royal level", but there will be no emperor or queen in it.
This is to respect the emperor and the queen, and at the same time to avoid the sinking of the "Emperor" and "Queen" in the war, which will severely damage the morale of the navy!
Yes, losing a Grand Duke-class battleship, or even a fleet, is only a temporary failure.
But the sinking of the Emperor Empress-class battleship, which represents the supreme power of the empire, will destroy the spirit of the soldiers!
So the navy will not have warships named after emperors and queens.
There is still a small problem with these two sea fortresses. The problem is the landing of the plane.
They don't know how the Pengios did it, and they don't quite know how the Federals did it. The Gafra people's design was to use cables and anti-fall nets.
But...sometimes the pilot's speed and altitude are not adjusted correctly, and an accident occurs when landing.
It wasn't that the hook lock was not hooked to the lock, and the plane was plunged into the anti-fall net.
That is, the speed of the plane was too fast, and the hook lock directly tore the plane in half.
They need more advanced assisted landing gear, but the Federals don't seem to be planning to sell or transfer their technology.
In addition, the slow speed is also a problem.
These need to be improved in the future, and now they can be launched, which is the best good news.
The change mentioned by the Secretary of the Navy is that the current structure of the Navy needs to be changed.
In the past, the generals of the military belonged directly to His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty had not suffered an accident and caused some things to go out of control, the current situation might not be like this.
Now that the Prime Minister is in power, the military generals are being suppressed by the aristocratic group——
It's not that the aristocratic group is amazing, but the generals in the navy are all from aristocratic backgrounds.
It's just that they are more loyal to the emperor and the royal family.
In the aristocratic environment, the new emperor was a softie and also belonged to the aristocracy, so the generals could only stick together.
They are neither loyal to the royal family nor the nobles, anyway, they are mobilized by orders.
This order comes from the navy and the prime minister, and this is also what the Secretary of the Navy is very dissatisfied with.
He is the Minister of the Navy. Everyone is an old friend. Now the admiral looks like a businessman, which makes it difficult for him to do it.
He may not have no idea about that position in his heart, if he can become the second prime minister after the reform of the Guevla system while grasping all the power of the navy.
It's not that he has no way to make himself, the prime minister, a real emperor!
Government orders and military power are all in his hands. Even if he doesn't want to do it now, when he gets to that position, he will start to think about it subconsciously.
But no matter what happens in the future, what he wants to do now is to seize the military power of the navy.
Take back the power of the navy from the admiral and captain, and put it into his hands.
Only in this way can he have the qualification to wrestle arms with the Prime Minister!
However, this is not an easy matter. It needs some opportunities and creates some conditions.
The nobles are supportive of the idea of the Minister of the Navy.
When the Lord of the Navy has mastered the navy, it means that their circle has mastered the navy.
With the most powerful navy and Guevra's greatest guarantee of force, who else in this country can stop them from returning to the right path?
Prime Minister, Minister of War, Minister of the Navy and some nobles.
It's not entirely their responsibility, they just think they're right and others are clearly wrong, that's all.
In April, when the weather warms up again, the girls on the road also begin to wear skirts.
Clear thighs reflect a healthy glow.
Some people like thinner legs, they think it looks good if they have lines.
Lynch, however, really likes the slightly plump ones. Too few ones don't feel good in the hand. The plump ones are not only more shiny, but also better-looking.
The economic situation of the Federation has been good in recent years. Don't look at the ridiculously high tax rates during the war, but the impact on the lives of ordinary people is actually not that huge.
According to the data released by the Ministry of Defense to the outside world, the Federation now has a total of more than 2.9 million soldiers, and will continue to expand by 500,000 in the next year.
In other words, just now, there are almost three million soldiers.
These 3 million soldiers come from about 10,000,000 families, and radiate about 15 million to 20 million people. In other words, the tax rate of these 15 million people is actually not high.
And with the enlistment of newly drafted soldiers and some other tax breaks, the initial "winter" has passed.
Although most of the tax rates are still very high, they are not unsustainable.
Now the federal government is still distributing relief food on time, and any federal person can receive a week's relief food with a social security number.
This time it wasn't runny food, but whole grains, dried fish and dried meat, some condiments, some cooking oil.
Spring plantings have started on time in western and central Nagalil, which means a bumper grain harvest this autumn.
The land full of blood is very fertile, it must be a harvest year!
A bumper harvest means that grain prices will fall further, and capitalists must empty their warehouses to avoid the downward trend or the various risks of old grain reserves.
When food prices fall, people will be able to eat more, and the excess money can be saved or consumed.
Lynch was sitting on the outdoor seat of the roadside coffee house, wearing sunglasses.
He hasn't been on TV very often recently, and people have forgotten him a bit.
He doesn't wear sunglasses, and so many people won't recognize him.
Even if he recognized it, he might not be able to harass him.
He has a date this morning, don't get me wrong, not with a woman, but with an old acquaintance.
When he thought he would never have any contact with that person in his life, that guy suddenly jumped out.
That's right, it's Commissioner Johnson, the former Commissioner of the Tax Bureau of Sabine City, who was later promoted to a state tax advisor, a very leisurely job.
He retired last year, but the Bureau of Contraband Investigation came into being in the context of Prohibition.
Now the whole country is strictly investigating the production, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages, and of course other things like grimace.
This is a brand-new department. The General Administration's suggestion is to find some experienced seniors on secondment to build the department framework first, and then gradually let go.
Johnson doesn't know who got his light. He is now the deputy commissioner, in charge of contraband and dangerous goods in York State.
Don't look at him as the deputy director. So far, there is no intention to send the director. In a short period of time, he has the final say in this aspect of York State.
Today was the day he came to Bopein to attend the meeting. He and Lynch had a phone call before that, hoping to chat with him privately, and Lynch agreed.
Lynch is a nostalgic person. He will not look down on anyone because his status is different now than in the past. That is not his style.
About ten o'clock, Johnson appeared in Lynch's sight.
He was much older than the last time Lynch saw him, his hair was mostly gray, and he lost a lot of weight, but he was in good spirits!
As soon as the two met, Johnson was very enthusiastic. After the slightly unfamiliar greeting, Johnson talked about his current job.
"The situation in York State is relatively stable. Although it is in the South, it is not an economically developed area."
"People's consumption concept and demand are not as strong as those in developed areas, so our work is relatively easy~lightnovelpub.net~ but only in relative terms."
Lynch nodded.
He is very familiar with the situation in York State, and he came out from there.
After losing several pillar industries, family workshops replaced part of the labor-intensive factories. In addition, it was the site of the Brothers Grimm. Now the whole area is very safe.
The law and order are good, and the rules are followed. The grape-flavored syrup and candy sold by the Brothers Grimm are also very popular. Basically, there is no big deal.
However, there are many people who make wine in private, and the way of operating a family workshop seems to have activated the self-employment thinking of Yorkers.
Many families secretly brew wine, and then take it to other places to sell it, such as out-of-state places, or some speakeasy bars.
This is their main job.
Let’s catch it, it can’t be finished, but it’s not enough if you don’t do it. It can only be said that the work is very hard and people are not welcome.
It seems that some people just brewed two gallons of ale and were sent in, and there was even a small-scale disturbance in the local area.
When it comes to work, Director Johnson seems to have endless hardships. As he talks, everything ends with a sigh.
He suddenly became a little twitchy.
"Lynch, you know, I have a child, I... want him to come to Bupen..."
