When Bai Zhizhan entered, the room was already shrouded in smoke, as if it were on fire.
The two men were puffing away at their pipes.
Wang Kaiyuan was one thing; a forty-something lecherous uncle smoking a pipe wasn't strange.
But Li Qing was young, and smoking a pipe really didn't suit the Eldest Prince's noble status.
Seeing his "clack clack" practised manner, his smoking history was not short.
The most annoying people in the Navy were the smokers.
Smoking was absolutely prohibited on carriers, and even on other warships, smoking in the cabin was forbidden, at most one could sneak a few puffs on the open deck.
In the Navy, the proportion of smokers was not high.
At least, all the high-ranking officers that Bai Zhizhan knew were non-smokers.
Interestingly, on submarines, where conditions were worst, the proportion of smokers was even higher, nearly half among the officers.
