Chapter 1767 Old friends new life
Gefla's glory comes from the navy.

Now that the Secretary of the Navy has reiterated this point, people can't help but recall the glory of the past, as if as long as the Navy returns, it will definitely be able to lead them out of the haze again!
The Secretary of the Navy 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, and the navy has nothing to reform.

They have the most advanced battleships, the largest main guns, the world's best navy, and naval commanders.

From the perspective of the navy alone, they have no room for improvement, they are the ceiling of this world!
However, in other areas, they are somewhat lacking.

For example, the sea-based air force, Gefra's sea fortress has already launched into the sea, two ships, namely "Iris" and "Elberon".

Both of these two were very famous Grand Dukes of Gefra in the past, and of course, these two sea fortresses can be collectively referred to as "Grand Dukes".

Compared with the previous ship names such as the eldest princess and the knight commander, the "level" of these two sea fortresses has improved a lot.

There is a saying within the Navy that this naming method will continue to improve.

Right now, it is only at the Grand Duke level, and the next level should be at the prince level or the eldest son level, which can also be called the real "royal level", but there will not be any emperor or queen in it.

This is a respect for the emperor and the empress, and it is also to prevent the sinking of the "emperor" and "empress" in the war, which will seriously damage the morale of the navy!
Yes, losing a Grand Duke-class battleship, or even losing a fleet, is only a temporary failure.

But the sinking of the emperor-queen-class battleship, which represents the supreme power of the empire, will destroy the spirit of the soldiers!
So the navy wouldn't have warships named after emperors and empresses.

There is still a small problem with these two sea fortresses, the problem is the landing of the plane.

They didn't know how the Penteos did it, and they didn't quite know how the Federals did it, the Gefra design was to use cables and fall arrest nets.

But... Sometimes the pilot's speed and altitude adjustments are not right, and accidents happen when landing.

It's not that the hook lock didn't catch the lock buckle, the plane plunged into the anti-fall net.

It's just that the speed of the plane is too fast, and the hook lock directly tears the plane in half.

They need more advanced assisted landing equipment, but the Federation does not seem to intend 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 hadn't encountered an accident and caused some things to get out of control, the current situation may not be like this.

Now that the prime minister is in power, the generals of the military are being suppressed by the aristocratic group——

It's not that the aristocratic group is so great, but the generals of the navy are also of noble origin.

It's just that they are more loyal to the emperor and the royal family.

In the general environment of the aristocracy, the new emperor is a soft guy and at the same time a member of the aristocratic faction, the generals can only stick together.

They neither pledge allegiance to the royal family nor to the nobles, anyway, they are now being ordered to transfer.

This order came from the Navy and the Prime Minister, and this is what the Secretary of the Navy is very dissatisfied with.

He is the Minister of the Navy, and everyone is an old friend. Now the admiral of the navy looks businesslike, which makes it difficult for him to do.

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 Gefra system while controlling the full power of the navy.

It's not that he has no way to turn himself, the prime minister, into a real emperor!

Government orders and military power are all in his hands, even if he doesn't want to now, when he gets to that position, he will start to think about them 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 the captain, and put it in his hands.

Only in this way can he have the qualifications to wrestle with the prime minister!

However, this matter is not easy. It needs some opportunities and some conditions to be created.

The nobles supported the idea of ​​the Minister of the Navy.

If the Minister of the Navy has mastered the navy, it means that their circle has mastered the navy.

With the most powerful navy and Guafra's greatest guarantee of force, who else in this country can stop them from returning to the right path?

The Prime Minister, the Minister of War, the Secretary of the Navy and some nobles.

It's not entirely their fault, they just think they're right and everyone else is clearly wrong, that's all.

In April, the weather warmed up again, and girls on the road began to wear skirts.

Smooth thighs reflect a healthy luster.

Some people like thinner legs and think they look good without lines.

Lynch really likes slightly plump ones, too little ones don't feel good, and plump ones are not only more shiny, but also look better.

The Federation's economic situation has been good in the past few years. Don't look at the ridiculously high tax rates during the war, but the impact on ordinary people's lives 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 290 million soldiers, and will continue to recruit 50 soldiers in the next year.

In other words, just now, there are almost 300 million soldiers.

These 300 million soldiers come from about tens of millions of families, radiating about 500 million to 2000 million people. In other words, the tax rate of these 500 million people is actually not high.

And with new conscripts enlisting, and some other tax breaks, the initial "winter" is over.

Although the tax rates in most parts are still high, they are not so unsustainable.

Now the federal government is still distributing relief food on time, and any federal citizen can receive relief food for a week with their social security number.

This time it was not liquid food, but whole grains, dried fish and meat, some condiments, and some cooking oil.

Spring planting in western and central Nagalil started on time, which means a bumper crop this autumn.

The land full of blood is very fertile, and it must be a bumper harvest year!

A bumper harvest means that grain prices will fall further. Whether capitalists want to avoid the downward trend or the various risks of old grain reserves, they must empty their warehouses.

When food prices fall, people will be able to eat more, and the extra money can be saved or consumed.

Lynch was sitting on the open-air seat of a coffee shop by the side of the road, and he was wearing sunglasses.

He hasn't been on TV very much lately and people have kind of forgotten about him.

He doesn't wear sunglasses, and not so many people will recognize him.

Even if he recognized it, it 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.

Just when he thought he would never have any contact with that person again in his life, that guy suddenly jumped out.

That's right, it was Commissioner Johnson, the former Sabine City Revenue Commissioner, who was later promoted to a state tax consultant, a very leisurely job.

He retired last year, but the Bureau of Contraband Investigation was born in the context of Prohibition.

Now the whole country is strictly censoring the production, transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages, of course, including other things like ghost face mushrooms.

This is a brand new department. The General Administration's opinion is to find some experienced old people to second them, first set up the department's framework, and then gradually let go.

Johnson didn't know who got the light. He is now the deputy director, in charge of contraband and dangerous goods in York State.

Don't look at him as the deputy director. So far, the higher-ups have not intended to send a director. In a short time, he has the final say on matters in York State.

Today was the day when he came to Bu Paine to attend the meeting. He had a phone call with Lynch before that, hoping to have a private chat with him, and Lynch agreed.

Lynch is a nostalgic person, he will not look down on anyone just because his current status is different from the past, that is not his style.

At 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 a 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 concepts and needs are not as strong as those in developed regions, so our work is relatively easy, but only relatively speaking."

Lynch nodded.

He is very familiar with the situation in York State, and he came from there.

After losing several pillar industries, family workshops replaced some labor-intensive factories. In addition, it was the site of the Brothers Grimm, and the law and order in the entire area is now very good.

Law and order is good, rules are followed, and the grape-flavored syrup and candies sold by the Brothers Grimm are also very popular, basically nothing big.

However, there are many people who make wine in private, and the family workshop business method seems to have activated the self-employment thinking of Yorkers.

Many families secretly brew alcohol and sell it in other places, such as out-of-state places or some speakeasies.

That's their main job.

Catch it, you can't finish it, but you can't do it if you don't do it. It can only be said that the work is very hard and people will not welcome it.

Some people just brewed two gallons of ale and were sent in, and there was even a small riot in the local area.

When it comes to work, Director Johnson seems to have endless bitterness. As he talked, everything ended with a sigh.

He suddenly became a little awkward.

"Lynch, you know, I have a child, I... want him to come to Bupain..."
