Even though Lin Xuan indicated for them to sit down, none of the seven core members of the navy sat down.
Even their superior, the king, wasn't sitting down, so how could they just sit down and talk to the king?
"Pay attention!" Lin Xuan looked at the crowd and smiled.
It wasn't that he didn't want to sit, but he had been sitting on the plane for six to seven hours. After getting off the plane, he rushed to the Admiralty without stopping. Standing now was more comfortable than sitting.
"Your Majesty!"
Chief of the Navy Su Dinghai moved aside and invited Lin Xuan to sit on the main sofa.
Understanding that no one would dare to sit if he didn't, Lin Xuan smiled helplessly. He walked to the sofa and sat down.
Lin Xuan's butt had yet to warm up when Lieutenant General Zhao Guoxian of the coastal fleet straightened his legs and looked at Lin Xuan. He gave Lin Xuan a standard military salute.
Then,
Zhao Guoxian said loudly," Your Majesty, the coastal fleet was established in 1886. It was adapted from the Great Ocean Navy of Xia Country. The coastal fleet is the first truly modern navy in the history of Xia Country's navy.”
"It can be said that it was the coastal fleet that opened the pace of China's transformation from a navy to a navy!”
"The coastal fleet has a history of 136 years. It is the number one fleet in the hearts of the Chinese navy.”
" As the commander of the coastal fleet, I am entrusted by tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers to ask Your Majesty not to disband the coastal fleet!”
Su Dinghai, Yang Bingyou, Zheng Haili, Wu Wanquan, and Wang Anxu were all shocked.
Isn't Old Zhao a little too aggressive? Isn't it adding to the mess if you insist on disbanding the coastal fleet?
The ancients often said: good medicine is bitter, and good advice is unpleasant to the ear!
His Majesty was only 22 years old, the prime of his youth.
How could His Majesty at this age tolerate you forcing him to abdicate?
Are you out of your mind? We can only coaxed him!
Before the five of them could think too much, Zhu Rihe, the deputy commander of the coastal fleet, saw Zhao Guoxian bite the bullet and charge forward. How could he, the deputy commander, hide behind him? He could only follow.
"Hu ~~"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Rihe looked straight ahead and raised his hand to salute Lin Xuan in a very standard manner, saying loudly,""Your Majesty, China is an island country. Even if China needs to focus on developing its economy and reducing military spending, our navy cannot be weakened!”
" The army has been at peace all year round, but the navy often needs to send ships to the four seas to protect our country's overseas interests and citizens. If the navy changes from three fleets to two fleets, some countries will definitely have evil thoughts. Your Majesty, please think twice!”
" This…" The other five admirals were all stunned.
What's wrong with you two?
Forget about one!
Why are you, Zhu Rihe, joining in the fun?
Can't you wait for us to ease the atmosphere before you speak!
"Your Majesty…"
Su Dinghai was just about to step out to smooth things over, but before he could say anything, Lin Xuan stopped him with a gesture.
Looking around at the crowd, Lin Xuan's gaze fell on Zhao Guoxian, who was standing straight. He smiled and said,"The world is surging, and China can't stop moving forward. China needs to make changes, and the coastal fleet needs to be disbanded. There's no need to say anything more about this!”
" Your Majesty…" Zhao Guoxian could no longer sit still, but he was interrupted by Lin Xuan.
"Disbanding the coastal fleet doesn't mean that China will weaken its navy. Not only will I not weaken the navy, but I will continue to strengthen it. The disappearance of the coastal fleet means that China will officially move from a passive defensive navy to an active offensive navy!”
As soon as he said this.
The seven core members of the navy were stunned.
There was no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there was a bright spring in the dark. This was the truest reflection of the seven of them.
The disbanding of the coastal fleet was not to weaken the navy? Instead, it was to further strengthen the navy?
Everyone was very puzzled. According to China's economic size and national potential, the navy had almost reached its peak. Strengthening it further seemed to be a bit of a militaristic move.
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Lin Xuan didn't say anything else. He was thinking in his heart whether the reason he thought of earlier was reasonable or not. Wasn't it a little too shocking?
Everyone, China has been developing at a high speed for 30 years. My wise and mighty king has long made arrangements. In some hidden ocean islands, China has opened up the mountains and secretly built a super-large naval shipyard, so we…
Fortunately, the military industry in Xia country was solely owned by the royal family, which was equivalent to the private property of the royal family. Whether it was the Administrative Council or the Military and Political Council, both parties had no right to interfere. It was equivalent to you being in charge of ordering and I being in charge of manufacturing.
With this prerequisite, Lin Xuan's reason was not unreasonable, but it seemed a little too ridiculous!
Thinking of this.
Lin Xuan moistened his throat." Everyone, the royal family of Xia Country has existed for 332 years. It has been three centuries. Many people are guessing how much wealth the royal family of Xia Country has.”
"Since the disintegration of the former Su Xiong, China has obtained many Su Xiong military technology experts. This has allowed the military manufacturing group of China, which is solely owned by the royal family, to embark on a path of rebirth.”
"There's a saying that goes,'The weak should never reveal their trump cards. Everything needs a backup plan.”
"China is a small country. We can't be like America, who can rely on our own strength to directly play chess.”
" The current Su Xiong collapsed and disintegrated, and Amilijian became the only superpower. No one can compete with it. The two polar oppositions have since become the dominance of Amilijian.”
"Because of this, since 1992, the royal family has been liquidating most of their assets year by year. All of this money has been used to build a secret underground military factory. This is the last trump card of China!”
"For a full 30 years, the royal family has invested hundreds of billions of Xia Yuan for this. Now, these investments will gradually begin to return to Xia Country.”
"Perhaps you will find it hard to believe, but I still have to solemnly inform you that the Chinese navy is about to expand.”
"The secret ship-building factory built by the royal family has already built two fully fleets of nuclear aircraft carriers for China.”
"They are composed of two aircraft carriers, 28 warships of various levels, four strategic nuclear submarines, and eight attack nuclear submarines.”
After listening to Lin Xuan, Su Dinghai, Zhao Guoxian, Yang Bingyou, and the rest all had expressions as if they were talking about a fantasy.
The royal family spent 30 years?
Spending more than 300 billion?
A secret warship factory that no one knew about?
Two full fleets of nuclear aircraft carriers?
The seven of them wanted to say,"Your Majesty! Can we not joke around? The matter of the coastal fleet has not been resolved yet!”
At this moment, everyone's hearts were 20% convinced and 80% suspicious.
This kind of thing was too ridiculous, and they were the core higher-ups of the navy. Why had they never heard of this?
The royal family's secrecy was so good?
For a whole thirty years, he didn't even let out a single word?
