Spring Festival is everyone's festival.
Although affected by the war, the Navy of the Empire did not hold the New Year's party on the third day of the lunar year as usual and canceled the public open day activities scheduled for the fifth day. But according to the first New Year directive issued by Liu Changxun, the commander-in-chief, all the officers and soldiers at the headquarters had rotating leaves based on wartime principles.
To use Liu Changxun's words in the directive, "The battle must be fought, but Spring Festival must also be celebrated."
However, Bai Zhizhan was not among those who took turns for a leave.
On the morning of the second day, Bai Zhizhan was called over by Liu Changxun, who informed him that Xue Yuanzheng had officially approved the reform plan for the Navy's command system.
