Zhou Shixiong knew this all too well. "Yes, it seems we were a bit too hasty.
But in your opinion, Brother Gu, when will this Navy actually be established?"
Wenheng replied, "Brother Zhou, you give me too much credit. How could a marginal figure like myself possibly fathom His Majesty's intentions or know the political climate of the court?
However, this voyage has already been a step forward. Once you take the first step, the next will naturally follow. Why not just wait and see, Brother Zhou?"
Watching the two "brothers" go back and forth, Vice General Wang said with a smile, "Regardless of how your debate turns out, I can count myself as one of the pioneers of this voyage. I imagine I'll get a mention in the history books for it."
Wenheng said, "General Wang has a point. It seems I'll have to order a few extra dishes for this meal, or it won't be fitting for a celebrity from the history books like you."
