The retirement of Marshal Zhu Shijian, the Imperial Navy Commander of the Liangxia Empire, immediately became the day's headline news.
Even on a global scale, the influence that Zhu Shijian had on contemporary navies was definitely unmatched, ranking first among his peers.
Even Western military scholars admitted that Zhu Shijian was the foremost naval figure after Fisher.
In fact, he was the only Navy Commander who had served for twenty years after the great war.
In Zhu's own words, no matter what it is, if you persistently work at it for twenty years, even a fool can become an expert.
Of course, these words are mainly self-deprecating.
In a sense, Zhu Shijian represented an era, that is, the era after the great war when the naval arms race came to a quiet halt.
An era that was relatively peaceful but equally precarious.
