Chapter 123 Chapter [-] Future Plans

Although subjectively feeling that today's landing operations are very primitive and somewhat disregarded, objectively Zhou Changfeng is still studying the course more seriously.

Although I have a more advanced and complete theoretical knowledge reserve of amphibious warfare, I can't apply it mechanically. I should always integrate and connect with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

The next morning, with mustard and fermented bean curd for breakfast, Zhou Changfeng finished off a bowl of porridge and a big meat bun. Just as he was about to leave, he learned the latest military bulletin from the radio.

The commanders of the 34th Division and the [-]th Division were all accused of crimes - they did not execute the order to stop the attack, but continued to attack the enemy in depth, so that they almost lost their teachers and humiliated the country!

Although the original intention was good, wanting to wipe out as many enemies as possible to boost the country's prestige, but the process was shocking, and the result can only be said to be luck.

In fact, despite the saying that "military orders are like a mountain", the army is actually not that strict in this regard, and is often a little flexible.

If a front-line commander finds a fighter opportunity and chooses to disobey the military order and make a great contribution by making a decision on his own, then he can not be blamed;

Apparently the emperor Zhu Shiyan understood this well. This is the first battle worth mentioning in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and it may also be the preview and beginning of future wars, so it has a strong symbolic and reference significance.

Whether it is true for the country or false talk for personal gain, the trend of disobedience to military orders cannot last long, and it cannot just pass by with eyes open and closed.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess for other people to learn and behave in the future?

After the decree was issued, the commanders of the two divisions, the commander of the 34th division, were dismissed and transferred to the Shaanxi capital to take up idle positions, and the commander of the [-]th division was reprimanded by the whole army.

"It doesn't look serious, but it can be said to be a very severe punishment for the two of them, which is tantamount to cutting off their future."

After the day's practice was over, Zhou Changfeng, who had nothing to do, saw that it was still early, so he spontaneously thought of looking for Xia Xiaoshi.

Ever since, he managed to "squat" at the school gate to the latter who was off work.

"That's really heavy." Xia Xiaoshi blinked, "However, their faults made you a success."

"You think so...you're right."

The two found a nearby restaurant for dinner this time, and it seemed more casual than usual.

Steamed sea bass, broad beans in salt water, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables were served in a short while. There were not many diners around, there were about four or five tables, and most of them seemed to be off-duty workers.

While eating and chatting, there seemed to be countless topics. Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshiben were talking about the traffic problem in the capital, but they ended up talking about the house.

Speaking of this, the former is really a little embarrassed. Although he has a lot of money in his hands today, he has not yet occupied a house in this huge capital city.

After graduating from middle school, you don't have to worry about not having a place to live when you enroll in Beijing to study at the Armed Forces Academy: the same goes for taking up a post in the Imperial Army after graduating from martial arts.

After his eldest sister got married and his mother died of illness, the old house in his hometown in Wuchang County, Wuhan Prefecture became his property, and he also had a deposit of about [-] yuan.

Regardless of the option of selling the old house, Zhou Changfeng now has more than 5000 yuan in salary accumulated over the years of service, [-] yuan in military merit rewards, [-] yuan in "special allowances" from the Intelligence Department, and bonuses from the Armament Bureau. Five thousand yuan, adding up to a total of less than thirty-one thousand yuan.

But "living in the capital, it's not easy" is not just a joke. A standard small courtyard house in the urban area starts at [-] yuan, and if the location is good, it can be as much as [-] yuan!

Zhou Changfeng found helplessly that he could barely even buy a house, let alone a major event in life.

But the reason why he said "reluctantly" rather than "impossible" is because he still has a considerable amount of deposits.

Because the officers of the Imperial Army have special benefits in this regard-officers starting from captains will be given houses, but they are all the same kind of small courtyards with monotonous shapes, and they are all located in the suburbs, so everyone generally doesn’t like them, and they usually give them away after they get them. It was sold off, and so was "Zhou Changfeng".

The small courtyard that I issued was sold for 5 yuan, and with this deposit, I have a total of more than [-] yuan in disposable assets.

This huge sum of money is actually enough to go to a small county town to live in peace and stability for a lifetime, but in the capital, it can only buy a house and furniture.

"...When my sister got married back then, we seemed to only want a gift of one thousand and six hundred, but in the end we went back to eight or nine hundred." Zhou Changfeng said while picking up vegetables, pretending to ask casually: "There should be more here in the capital." some?"

"Not necessarily," Xia Xiaoshi sensed the intention of his words, and replied ambiguously on purpose: "Some ask for a lot but get back a lot of dowry; some seem to ask for little, but the dowry is very poor."

Seeing that the routine failed, Zhou Changfeng asked directly, and he smiled: "What about you?"

Xia Xiaoshi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said relaxedly: "I am the only one in my family, it depends on your sincerity."

Generally speaking, if the purpose is not to "extort money" in a disguised form, then usually the bride price will not be very high, and a lot will be returned at the same time; if it is more enlightened, the bride price may not even be given—no matter how much is received, the full amount will be added In the dowry, it means that there is only one process.

Zhou Changfeng didn't really care about this, there was absolutely no need to underestimate himself in this regard, he was a solid lieutenant colonel no matter what he thought, and it was impossible for the old man in the engineering department to not even have this bit of foresight.

The two continued to chat, and after a while, Xia Xiaoshi asked a very important question.

"Then... have you been serving in the army in the future?"

She felt that her mentality had changed a lot. It was good to stay in the Forbidden Army, at least it was safe and safe without taking risks, but it was Zhou Changfeng's choice to go to the Marine Corps, and she couldn't dissuade her.

But fighting on the battlefield is really dangerous, and one day people might be gone.

"How should I say it?" Zhou Changfeng said casually, "Yu private, I think it suits me well; Get on me."

In fact, this also involves a longer-term and grander plan.

As far as Daming's current dual-monarchy system with local characteristics has been compromised by multiple parties, let alone its lifetime, it may take another ten or twenty years to see her collapse.

The current prosperity is just an appearance, and there are countless disputes and contradictions inside. In a sense, this can be regarded as a flashback.

Before that, he had to gain a firm foothold, right?Little people can't control the general trend, and if you want to play a role in the future historical stage, you have to take advantage of these years to climb up.

The war is almost inevitable, so naturally this great opportunity cannot be missed.
