The crew of Zheng He returned to Thenedos and found that the Zhili Fleet and the Fourth Fleet many old sergeants and old sailors cast envious eyes at this group of young juniors.

Among the two fleets, there were also officers from the Navy Martial Arts Hall, who were older than Zheng Chenggong and others.

However, they did not have the opportunity to participate in a war of this scale during their internship. Many people even participated in real actual combat for the first time after they came out of the Navy Martial Arts Hall.

Zheng Chenggong, Hannah and other crew members felt the eyes of their predecessors, and an unprecedented sense of honor and sacredness surged in their chests, making them feel that the achievements they had achieved through hard fighting before were worth it!

"It's so nervous. We students are not qualified to meet the military leader in normal times. We didn't expect to make military achievements in the battle in the Mediterranean and be summoned by the military leader."

"What does the military master look like? It is said that the naval martial arts lecture hall was built by the military master. If you can see him here, this round-the-world voyage is worth it."

Among the crew members of the Zheng He, only Zheng Chenggong had the opportunity to meet Chu Yun several times, and the rest had never met. Therefore, only Zheng Chenggong seemed calm about Chu Yun's reception, while the other students were very excited, and even Hannah was a little nervous.

"He probably won't be a strict person, right?" Hannah asked nervously.

Zheng Chenggong shook his head: "On the contrary, it is easy for him to get along with. He changed my name to Zheng Chenggong for me. I have never seen him angry when I met him several times, or few people have ever seen him angry."

The senior officers of the Admiralty are all on the tiny Thenedos Island, and the Zhili Fleet and the Fourth Fleet have already occupied half of the Admiralty's troops.

Navy Secretary Nelson, Fourth Fleet Commander Sun Xu, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, they are all people who have made great achievements in military achievements, one to two generations older than Zheng Chenggong.

A group of Naval Academy, generally under 20 years old, seemed quite nervous in front of this group of senior naval officers of the empire, while Chu Yun was among a kind of naval officer. He was wearing the uniform of an army officer, so Zheng Chenggong and others recognized Chu Yun at a glance.

Chu Yun was born in the infantry, so he would give priority to the uniforms of the army officers if he wore military uniforms.

"The Zheng He performed well in this naval battle in the Mediterranean. He captured two Turkish sailing ships and three Turkish merchant ships with a low firepower configuration. According to the regulations of the Navy Department, graduates of the Navy Martial Arts Hall need to have a year of internship at the sea before they can become reserve officers. The reserve officer will be converted to a naval lieutenant two years after serving. However, your cadets in this period are a bit special. The global sailing and participation in the Mediterranean battle have extended your internship period, so after the war is over, you will be directly converted to a formal naval lieutenant after you return to the local Navy Department. In addition, your military merits will be included in your resume after you officially serve."

Chu Yun announced this news to them that was good for them.

The time of sailing around the world was too long, and it had exceeded the one-year internship required after graduation from the Naval Martial Arts Hall. In addition, this group of Naval Martial Arts Hall students had richer experience than the students in the past few years, so Chu Yun did not hesitate to let them become formal naval officers as soon as possible.

The Navy of the Jiuzhou Army is expanding and constantly manufacturing new ships, and is in need of a group of excellent middle and lower-level officers.

The crew of the Zheng He showed joy. They could skip the quite long assessment process after returning to the local area and become the official naval lieutenant of the Navy.

Although the second lieutenant of the Navy is just a grassroots officer in the Navy Department and is not qualified to command a large ship, it only takes a few years of experience to be promoted to a self-contained naval officer.

"In addition, everyone can receive the Iron Anchor Medal from the Admiralty to commemorate your outstanding performance in this battle." Chu Yun gave them another nominal honor.

Several naval soldiers were carrying wooden support, and there were iron anchor medals unique to the Navy.

Of course, this kind of medal was invented by Chu Yun to reward the naval officers and soldiers who fought bravely in the Navy.

Chu Yun personally wore medals for these future mainstays of the Navy, which made the young trainees so excited that they could not express their feelings!

The consuls of the Empire personally wore the medals of the Navy for them, which was a treatment that many naval captains, majors, and lieutenant colonels were not necessarily treated!

"..." When Chu Yun came to Hannah, he found that among the students in this period of the Navy Lecture Hall, there was a woman of French or German descent. She hesitated for a moment. How should she help her wear medals?

He even forgot about the fact that in order to win over the Knights of the Hospital on Malta Island, Admiral Hannah turned into the Navy Martial Arts Hall.

As if seeing Chu Yun’s embarrassment, Ella stood up in time: “Sir, let me wear a medal for her.”

Fortunately, she came out to rescue the situation, and Chu Yun felt relieved.

At present, almost all men are all men in the Navy, and female sailors are rarely seen. After all, in this era, in the East or the West, there are few women in the army, let alone sailors who are much more difficult than infantry.

"If I remember correctly, you are Hannah of the Knights of the Hospital. Your Knights of the Hospital are not under the jurisdiction of any kingdom and live independently on the Island of Malta." Chu Yun asked casually while Ella was helping her wear the Iron Anchor Medal.

"Yes." Hannah didn't know how to answer when she saw this extremely powerful man, but she just responded like a conditioned reflex.

"Since the Knights of the Hospital do not belong to any kingdom, then when you become a formal officer, you go to the Immigration Administration to register our nationality." Chu Yun said.

"...Yes!" Hannah saw that the other party took the initiative to mention this kind of thing, she didn't dare to say no.

Not far away, the English officers George Monk, Black, William Payne, Venice veteran Capelo, Pope General Ludovich, and the Grand Commander of the Knights of Malta were all watching this ceremony in which the Kyushu Army inspired the naval reserve officers to fight bravely. They were more or less infected by this atmosphere.

The attack on the Dardanelles is about to be launched. Convening such a commendation ceremony before the attack can play an inspiring role.

"I think it is necessary for our Royal Fleet to set up a special naval academy to commend the brave naval officers and soldiers who fight bravely." The officers of the Royal Fleet discussed in private.
