The Military Department had prepared for Yang Ming not only a flagship worthy of a nearly Heavy Battleship class but also a military escort squadron consisting of twelve Main Battle Ships.
When Yang Ming arrived at the flagship, two Major Generals from the Military Department had already led a large troop of soldiers to welcome him in formation at the rear hangar.
The scene befitting an Honorary Earl was in full display.
The Major General on the left was a brawny man with graying hair, tall and burly. He was the overall commander of the squadron, responsible for planning the navigation route, maintaining the safety of the voyage, and handling emergency affairs of the fleet.
The other female Major General, named Qiulisha, had a dignified appearance with an elegant demeanor. She lacked the typical military bearing, with traces of age-defying surgery evident on her face; her mannerisms were more akin to a lady of the Imperial Nobles.
