Chapter 331 - 321 Happy Event
The arrival of the warship also signifies that the Navy’s establishment has entered a new phase.
Yang Zhenshan is quite satisfied with the current efficiency of the Navy’s formation.
Of course, this is largely thanks to Yu Tonghai, a seasoned veteran of the Navy.
Don’t be fooled by Yu Tonghai’s previous position as a mere Commander; he is undoubtedly a qualified naval officer, not only possessing his own understanding of naval training but also having rich experience in naval warfare.
The reason why he was only a Commander previously has two aspects, the first being that Da Rong did not place enough importance on the Navy, focusing manpower and resources on the northern border towns due to the threat from the Hu Clan, resulting in less support for the Navy.
The second reason is that there are few opportunities for the Navy to earn distinctions, although there are many pirates in the East South Sea Domain of Da Rong, and these pirates occasionally land and invade the coastal areas of Da Rong, most are minor disturbances and never form a serious threat.
Additionally, since the main purpose of the Da Rong Navy is defensive, there are seldom opportunities for maritime combat, naturally resulting in fewer chances to earn distinctions.
It is because of these two reasons that the Navy of Da Rong has been in decline over the years.
Despite Da Rong’s impressive shipbuilding technology and having many commercial fleets among its civilians, the Da Rong Navy still fails to develop.
In Yang Zhenshan’s view, this is extremely irrational. As a nation with a long coastline, it should have several strong naval forces.
