Liu Zunshan was a total fool.
Just like when he used to fight in his younger days, he fought with a reckless ferocity.
In fact, of the three of them, only Liu Zunshan had been on the battlefield.
It's not that Liu Zunshan was more formidable, but that he had the support of the Marine Corps.
Initially, when the Army Air Force became independent to form the Air Force to prevent the Navy from becoming the biggest winner and to balance the military branches, the Marine Corps, originally a branch under the Navy, was promoted to an independent branch directly led by the Cabinet and nearly became an independent military service.
The Marine Corps couldn't become a separate military service because it still depended on the Navy's ships.
This event also led to the creation of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff Department, which nominally belonged to the Ministry of Defense but operated independently, led directly by the Cabinet Chief and answerable to the Privy Council.
