Chapter 556

Why is the place name Tunis (Nis) also a banned word? Please explain.

*******

In the old time and space, the place name Tunisia is well known to the world because of the war of Africa during World War II. It is located at the northernmost end of the African continent, across the Turkish Strait and facing Sicily in Italy. It was a French colony in the late 19th and early 20th century. The capital Tunisia Port is the busiest commercial harbor on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the best coastal cities in Africa. In this parallel space and space where the Xiashu is located,

According to the armistice agreement signed by Germany and France in 1915, Tunisia became Germany's protection land. In the years after the war, Tunisia smoothly completed its transition and became another dazzling gem on the German scepter. Suitable resources, warm climate and preferential policies of the German government for its own people attracted thousands of Germans to settle here, and gradually became another popular place for Germans to spend the winter vacation.

In early 1919, the Irish naval training ship "Kuchulin" arrived in Turkish. The newlyweds of the Irish king and his wife, along with the officials and all the trainees, would enjoy a relaxing holiday here. Flower shirts, beach pants, black sunglasses, and Xia Tree rarely found the feeling of vacationing on the southern coast in this era. Charlotte, a British girl who was almost overwhelmed by the new identity of the Queen of Ireland, was able to put aside the constraints of various court etiquettes and wore a light gauze skirt and comfortable slippers, and wandered or played carefreely by the sea.

As night falls, the deep blue sky seems to be a velvet cloth specially used for gems in a jewelry store. It exudes a charming color against the backdrop of the stars in the sky. The pleasant sea breeze blows gently, and holidaymakers drinking and singing can be seen everywhere on the beach. The singing is not graceful, but it makes people feel particularly relaxed. All the troubles are thrown into the Java Sea thousands of miles away without realizing it.

After settling down, Xia Shu walked slowly on the beach with Charlotte in his arms. Their markings were so close and tacit. Perhaps in the eyes of others, they were married for many years and loving couples. The handsome and gentle lady said as she walked: "When I was ten years old, my father took my mother and me to travel to Canada. I thought the Vancouver Harbor in autumn was the most beautiful place in the world."

Xia Shu continued: "Later I found that there are many places as beautiful as fairyland?"

Charlotte leaned his head on Xia Shu's shoulder and said softly: "I realized later that the place with you is heaven."

This is the scene and the atmosphere. After hearing this, Xia Shu was drunk even if she didn't drink.

Charlotte said: "I recorded every place we have been to in detail and compiled it into a love map of our own. When our own children grow up, let them travel the world along the route we have taken now, so that they can appreciate the customs and natural scenery we have seen. Do you think it's okay?"

"I agree completely." Natsuki said, "Maybe they will meet someone they like during their trip, but...will you mind if they like Asians or Africans?"

Charlotte giggled, and she asked back, "Will you mind?"

Natsuki thought for a while: "If it's Asian, I won't mind, but if it's African, well... I might be a little psychologically repulsive."

Charlotte was not surprised, saying, "Joheng, I know you have always had a good impression of Asians, but why do you not like Africans? Is it because of their skin color?"

"I was Asian in my previous life... maybe!"

Xia Shu once told Charlotte half-true that he was from another world, and Charlotte seemed to believe but not. Of course, with their current life, there was no need to worry about this matter at all.

Perhaps it is related to the stubborn and picky character of the British. There have always been few Asians and Africans living in the UK. In a relatively remote small place like Thetford, Charlotte had very little contact with these non-European races. Now that she came to Tunis, she was only curious about the indigenous Africans living here but had no subjective preferences. However, due to the subtle influence of the Xia Shu, she had a little more understanding of Asians and had a good impression of the elegant and humble Oriental culture. However, this had some conflict with her childhood memories of traveling to India with her father, so she did not express any tendency position on the distant issue of her children's spouse.

"Look, Johen, that's Seger and the others? Ha, look, your guys are very favored by the opposite sex!"

The topic was just the time to change. On the beach beside the road, a group of men and women sat around the bonfire, making bursts of hearty laugh from time to time.

Natsuki noticed the students wearing white navy casual clothes earlier, but he still joked to Charlotte: "Dear Queen, my flagship lacks a lookout like you with a hawkish eye on my flagship. I wonder if I have the honor to get your help?"

Charlotte knew he was joking about himself and couldn't help but give him a pink punch. If it was in public, it would be an indecent move that affected the queen's image, but who would care about this in a place far from the Irish people's vision?

Xia Shu smiled satisfied and asked, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"

The kind Irish queen was a little worried: "Will we make them feel restrained in the past and destroy the pleasant atmosphere?"

Xia Shu stopped. After two months of getting along, he was already familiar with these naval cadets who were about to graduate. If it were not for Charlotte's kind reminder, with his personality and style, he would definitely join in without any scruples. However, the monarch and his subjects were separated by a secular boundary. Even if Xia Shu himself didn't mind, the cadets would still be somewhat restrained. Moreover, if you want to firmly control an army, there are many ways and methods. Putting down your posture and getting along with the officers and soldiers equally is not necessarily the best way. Sometimes, establishing enough prestige and using convincing decision-making lines can make officers and soldiers follow them with convincing conscience.

The young men have their own youthful fun, and the newlywed king and couple have their own warm moments, and enjoying each other is the real happiness.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu turned his head and nodded to his wife with a positive expression. Without any explanation, he held her arm and continued to walk along the road by the sea. The Irish Naval Craftsmen who are now driving the "Ku-Churin" are no longer significantly different from the basic quality of the naval qualities when Xia Shu was studying at the Kiel Naval Academy, but his understanding and application of tactical strategies are still lacking. This has nothing to do with the students' own conditions, but the teaching level of the Royal Naval Academy of Rymorick and the students

Primary education received at school age is closely related, reflecting the weaknesses of Ireland's national education and military heritage. These require years of accumulation and cannot be hesitated. In other words, Ireland cannot simply copy the military miracle created by the Swedes in the 17th century, and extend it from this. The current Irish economic miracle is bright on the surface, but there are many defects and hidden worries behind it. Only by steadily walking on the road of industrialization and modernization can the country's economic foundation be truly consolidated.

The peaceful and comfortable holiday just began, and the arrival of a group of uninvited guests brought Xia Shu from a paradise to the real world. These people wore the dark blue winter clothes of the German Navy, whether they were shirts, tie or sheepskin boots, and were incompatible with the temperature and environment here. Except for not wearing swords on their belts, they were simply the standard state of participating in military activities. Even so, German Navy officials led by German Navy Cabinet Chief Mueller and Shipbuilding Director Von Leyen Scarter still claimed to have come to inspect and take a vacation. The poor excuse made Xia Shu deeply frustrated with the adaptability of these German soldiers.

While chatting, the German naval generals quickly revealed their true intentions to get into trouble. Before this, Ireland not only did not take over the generous orders for the British aircraft carrier, but even the basically agreed economic and trade cooperation agreement was not postponed. William II should be satisfied with this. Just after the New Year, he urged the Navy to set up a suitable portion of the naval construction plan from 1919 to 1920 and handed over to the shipyards in Ireland to implement. As for selecting ship projects for cooperation, the German cabinet and the naval shipbuilding department have a great say, but it is not entirely up to them to decide. It also depends on whether Ireland has the conditions and is willing to accept the orders they arranged.

Among the shipbuilding projects that had been determined and signed by Germany and Ireland, the third standard heavy cruiser and the second batch of standard light cruisers started in 1919, and the No. 1 standard aircraft carrier and the first standard heavy cruiser, as well as the first 800-ton multi-functional frigate. After a fierce debate and competition, the experimental large destroyer project was finally won by the Royal William Shipyard in Germany. The high-speed gunboat project used for offshore patrol was acquired by Danze's Shuofei Shipyard. All super-dreadnoughts and most submarine projects were also built by the Kiel Navy, and several traditional military shipbuilding powerhouses, including Hamburg Bromfos, Bremenweissel, etc.

During his tenure in the German Navy, Xia Shu was regarded as Tirpitz's student and had close ties with front-line generals such as Schell, the commander of the High Seas Fleet. He was not a member of the group with Müller, who was in charge of naval administrative affairs, and Boer, who was in charge of strategic planning and combat training affairs. However, due to Xia Shu's identity as a member of the royal family, even when the naval power struggle was the most intense, Muller, Boer and others did not oppose Xia Shu. After that, Tirpitz regained the naval power, and the faction of Muller and Boer were dying.
