As a result, it would be a bit difficult for the chief executive or the military department to rebel and establish a dictatorship.
Of course, at this stage, it is relatively easy to do this. After all, Xinghai Kingdom has just been established, the system is not yet perfect, and there is no military supervision system. The power of the military is still in the hands of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
But at least with this starter, the system will gradually improve in the future, and the Ministry of Military Affairs will not be able to cause trouble.
There are two plans given by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
One is to take the initiative, use the navy to surround Guangzhou Prefecture, and march troops to the city to give the Shaowu regime a good look, and then use war to promote peace.
The second is that after the Shaowu regime sends troops to land, the Star Navy, which has fast mobile tools such as trucks, will directly surround them and annihilate them.
Well, actually, both options are relatively simple.
After all, it does not require more than one regiment to use troops, so there is no need to study too carefully in all aspects.
The biggest difference between these two plans is that one uses the navy and the other uses the army.
After Zheng Xiangdong briefly introduced the two plans, the Senate immediately initiated a vote.
This is also one of the systems of the Senate. Bills that can be voted on immediately, especially bills related to military matters, etc., cannot be delayed.
If the vote is re-voted because the vote difference is not enough, the time cannot exceed 24 hours at the latest.
That is, within 24 hours, the results must be available.
Even if the vote difference between two motions or multiple motions is not enough to reach 60% of the votes in favor, the result must be reached and the motion with more votes will be implemented.
This system is mainly to avoid delays caused by too many people talking.
Regardless of any system, if there are too many people who can make decisions, procrastination will inevitably occur.
And this procrastination will consume human wealth and resources all the time in future generations.
Fortunately, this time, because the elders were extremely angry that the Zhaowu regime dared to send troops to invade their newly established country, the voting process ended quickly.
In the first vote, due to the different opinions of the senators, the vote gap was 55% to 45%. Neither motion reached 60% of the votes.
But before the second vote, Deputy Military Affairs Commissioner Wang Haitao asked to speak, describing the progress of naval construction, and asked Fang Xiaoyue to speak to demonstrate whether new artillery can be installed on existing steel ships.
Fang Xiaoyue gave Wang Haitao strong support at this time.
To be honest, it is definitely unrealistic for the new artillery he is designing to be put into industrial production.
Although many time-travelers still have some data and shapes of later generations of artillery in their minds, they do not have relevant information on the artillery.
Just relying on that little bit of data and shape, there wouldn't be much of a problem in casting some front-loading artillery pieces.
But breech-loading artillery, especially breech-loading artillery that can use explosive shells, is not so easy to industrialize.
but! It would be easy if we just asked Fang Xiaoyue to hand-make a few breech-loaded artillery pieces.
After all, with Fang Xiaoyue's extremely powerful metal manufacturing and processing capabilities, even if there are some problems with the hand-made breech-loaded cannon, these problems will be forcibly smoothed away by the addition of metal effects.
No way, some special abilities are so unreasonable and unscientific.
After receiving strong support from Fang Xiaoyue, the proposal to dispatch the navy to solve the problem undoubtedly quickly gained support in the hearts of most elders.
After all, Fang Xiaoyue is still very famous in the former dock area and now in the Xinghai Kingdom, and is the most top-notch industrial master.
The words spoken by such a person are very persuasive.
What's more, even Sun Xuebin did not stand up to oppose the naval plan.
The reason is simple. As a military affairs committee member, Sun Xuebin cannot only speak from the perspective of the army and ignore the navy.
What's more, the current navy is still in its infancy, and it needs some actual combat to temper it!
You must know that Xinghai Kingdom will definitely be a maritime country from now to the future. Its territory and sea areas now and in the future need to be protected by the navy.
There is no doubt that the Shaowu regime of Nanming, which has a relatively weak navy, is the most suitable training target.
This is just like the novice monsters in the game. If the novice monsters are too strong, it will definitely not work, but if the novice monsters are weak and the number is small, it will be even worse.
And Nanming is definitely a newbie monster with a large number of naval forces, but a weak one.
"Old Ma, I'll leave it to you this time. Whether our navy can stand up or not depends on your work."
After the Senate unanimously approved the naval plan, Xinghai Kingdom immediately implemented resource tilt.
As chief engineer, Fang Xiaoyue is responsible for the transformation of existing ships and the development of new naval guns and shells.
Wang Haitao, who always walked alone and seemed to be wandering outside the crowd, found Fang Xiaoyue with two bottles of red wine and a somewhat blushing face.
Okay, is this a gift?
But even if Wang Haitao didn't come to give gifts, Fang Xiaoyue would still do it well.
After all, for him, he will do anything that can improve the completion of the task.
What's more, he had focused on the artillery before.
After all, if the Mauser G98 rifle is not currently equipped, if you want to improve the military power of the Star Sea Kingdom, you can only buy artillery.
There are still many types of breech-loaded artillery in later generations.
Especially after the initial production of mercury fulminate and nitrocellulose began, the types of artillery available for Fang Xiaoyue's design increased significantly.
However, in view of the purity problem after nitrocellulose passivation, Fang Xiaoyue finally integrated some characteristics of breech-mounted artillery and designed a new breech-mounted naval gun.
No way, the front-loaded naval gun has a great impact on manpower and even the shooting speed.
The rear-mounted naval gun is an enhancement in all aspects.
Thanks to the commissioning of the new steelmaking plant, the new naval gun is made of carbonized steel, is 2.6 meters long, has a caliber of 12 pounds, uses a rear-mounted gunpowder bag, has a unique steel ignition trigger, and can fire solid ball shells and blooms. bomb.
However, due to the slow progress of the research on explosive shells and the urgent urging of the Navy, after the new naval gun was developed and brought to the shooting range for test firing, it began to be hurriedly equipped on the ship.
"With explosive shells, this operation will definitely not be able to catch up."
As the chief engineer, Fang Xiaoyue supervised the technicians who were welding the rotating base gun mount on the fishing boat. Waves of dazzling sparks continued to sputter out, attracting some naturalized laborers who were busy carrying goods on the dock in the distance. He looked dumbfounded.
For these naturalized laborers, the sparks splashed out from the hands of those elders were beyond their imagination.
Facing Wang Haitao's longing gaze, Fang Xiaoyue could only smile helplessly.
