Chapter 1273 Unexpected Harvest
Director Yu, who is in a high position at a young age, is naturally Yu Xiaobao, who immigrated very early in life. Yu Xiaobao had already joined Haihan along with his father Yu Dashan when the travelers landed at Yulin Bay in 1627. Counting their working years, he was one of the longest-serving people among the naturalized people. In his early years, he studied under Tao Donglai, Ning Qi, He Xi, Malike and others. He has been working for big shots since he was sixteen years old. This resume is also rare in Haihan.
Under the words and deeds of the time-travelers, the skills Yu Xiaobao learned were much better than those who came after him, and his loyalty to Haihan was high enough, so the executive committee trusted him very much and appointed him as Haihan. Official in charge of the Han Youth League.
Contrary to the first impression, the Haihan Youth League is not a military organization, but a political organization. The purpose of this organization is very simple, which is to make young citizens under Haihan's rule loyal to the country and the Executive Committee, and become the "Political Guards" of the Executive Committee. The establishment of the youth league is not restricted by industry or department. It only depends on the two conditions of nationality and age. If you meet the requirements, you can join. Therefore, the Youth League has become a large cross-industry and cross-department organization with many members. According to statistics during this year's National Day, the number of members of the Youth League has even far exceeded the strength of the Haihan Army, and its influence among the people can be imagined.
Although joining the Youth League will bring many benefits to your future personal future, the Youth League does not have administrative power over individuals. Therefore, Yu Xiaobao's official position can be said to be very influential and can influence the future of thousands of people. , but at the same time, the actual power is very small, and it cannot even directly determine a person's position promotion. But anyone who is familiar with the Haihan system will understand that Yu Xiaobao's position seems to have no real power, but his influence among the people is already the number one naturalized citizen. He is currently unable to be promoted, otherwise he will have to A certain leader was removed from his position.
Yu Xiaobao became a minister at a young age, and has worked and lived with the time travelers all year round. Whether it is dressing or speaking and behaving, he has basically left the state of Ming people. There are even many newcomers who have just arrived in Sanya. Immigrants will equate him with a real "Haihan man". However, neither Yu Xiaobao nor the big shots above seemed to have any scruples about this. Treatments such as being equipped with security guards were indeed only available to time travellers in the past, but now naturalized senior officials like Yu Xiaobao also enjoy them when traveling. Guards are in place. Of course, in Sanya's good public security environment, this kind of staffing function is more of a status symbol.
The purpose of Yu Xiaobao's visit to the training base today was to inspect the work and to see if there were any young talents worth noting among the recent recruits of prospective civil servants. With his current status, the staff here naturally have to treat him with care, lest anything go wrong. But when Yu Xiaobao came here, he noticed Liu Shang lying on the lawn, so he sent the staff over to ask what was going on.
Due to the special nature of the work of the Youth League, the Propaganda Department has always been one of the main cooperative units. Moreover, many young officials in the Haihan Propaganda Department who were naturalized earlier studied under Ning Qi. Speaking of which, they also have brothers with Yu Xiaobao. relationship. For example, Hong Jingwen from the Publicity Department of the Sanya Port District Administrative Committee once studied the same art as him, and they have a bit of a personal relationship. Since this unaccomplished newcomer was Hong Jingwen's subordinate, he naturally had to ask more questions.
Liu Shang didn't know why the other party wanted to ask about his previous occupation, but he still told the standard answer honestly. He once made a living as a speaker somewhere in Guangdong. He heard that people in Haihan especially liked listening to books, so he took a boat to Sanya. To make a living, he later received a call from Changdegao.
Yu Xiaobao nodded and then asked: "Can you read and hyphenate?"
Liu Shang bowed and responded: "The villain is proficient in writing, and the books I mentioned before were all written by myself."
"When will the Propaganda Department's classes start?" Yu Xiaobao no longer asked Liu Shang, but the staff next to him.
The official next to him muttered and responded: "The Propaganda Department has been recruiting very few people recently and cannot recruit enough students. In addition, all part-time lecturers also have their own work to do, so... it will probably have to wait until next month."
There is nothing that can be done about this situation. The training base cannot just call in lecturers to hold classes just for a student like Liu Shang. The lecturers who teach these students are not full-time, they are basically serving officials from relevant departments. To arrange training courses, you must first coordinate the schedule of the lecturers. Liu Shangke does not have such a big weight to attract so many people. He turns. The Propaganda Department handed the person over, but the person in charge of the formalities here accepted the person directly because he didn't know the arrangement. They could only make the mistake and let him stay here temporarily. Anyway, taking Liu Shang in is just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. This extra cost will not be a burden to the training base.
However, Yu Xiaobao noticed and asked about this matter, which means that someone may be responsible for it. Although Yu Xiaobao's official position is with the Youth League, anyone with a discerning eye knows that what he usually does represents the intention of the executive committee. Especially when he came out to inspect local work, he had almost the same status as an imperial envoy. When something went wrong in the training base, he discovered that although it was a minor matter, the relevant personnel couldn't help but become nervous.
But Yu Xiaobao was obviously in a good mood today. He did not immediately blame the staff for their improper arrangements. Instead, he turned to Liu Shang and said: "In that case, you have nothing to do here recently. It just so happens that I have to go to various places on the island recently." The county inspection work requires a eloquent person to do the propaganda work. Are you willing to take over this task? ”
Before Liu Shang came back to his senses, Xiang Da Lian was already urging him: "Director Yu gave you a chance to show off, don't let this good intention go down!"
Seeing his hesitation, Yu Xiaobao continued: "It won't be too late for you to complete the induction training when you return from the inspection. I will just say hello to Section Chief Hong later."
Liu Shang felt that this might be a turning point in his mission, so he immediately bowed and responded: "That villain is more respectful than obeying orders, so I will just listen to the director's arrangements."
Yu Xiaobao fell in love with Liu Shang, of course, not because he has a keen eye for recognizing heroes, nor because Liu Shang has any outstanding appearance. The real reason is actually what he said, there is such a vacancy that needs to be filled by someone who can do things. Just go up. Originally, there were people in his entourage who were responsible for this work, but before setting off today, he suddenly fell ill and fell down. After he inspected the Luhuitou Peninsula, he would take a boat out to other places from here, and there were other people who could be transferred temporarily. There were many inconveniences, and it happened that this reserve cadre with a storyteller background was idle here with nothing to do. After reading the introducer's opinions in the registration information, Yu Xiaobao decided to temporarily recruit him as his entourage for this tour. Fill the vacancy of the one who was unable to make the trip due to illness. Having said that, Liu Shang also had to thank Chang Degao for such a coincidence. If he hadn't been a little negligent and helped Liu Shang complete the training procedures and then walked away, he would not have had the chance to meet Yu Xiaobao here. Or maybe the introduction to Liu Shang was written simply and did not mention his personal situation, so Yu Xiaobao might not be interested in him.
So Liu Shang accidentally changed from an idler to a temporary attaché of Director Yu of the Youth League, and then he had to follow him to inspect the operations of the Youth League across Hainan Island. Although Liu Shang still didn't quite understand the nature of this task and what tasks he would need to undertake in it, since he had the opportunity to get close to the senior figures in the Haihan court, he naturally tried his best to seize this opportunity. Being able to work with such a big shot naturally gives you the opportunity to come into contact with a lot of information that would otherwise be completely incomprehensible.
Of course, Liu Shang would not expect someone like him who was temporarily recruited to have access to real confidential information, but as long as he could learn some of the inside story of the Haihan Youth League through this temporary job, it would be a worthwhile trip. .
Regarding the existence of the Haihan Youth League, Liu Shang only got some superficial impressions from limited information. This organization has many members and they are generally younger. They have almost fanatical worship of the Haihan regime. It can be said that under the rule of Haihan One of the special products. How Haihan manages and operates this organization is a mystery to the outside world.
Liu Shang never thought that he would be able to deal with this department so quickly, and the person he came into contact with was the official in charge of the Youth League. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was God's favor. By the time he figured out the meaning of this matter, Xiang Dalian was already urging him to go back to the dormitory to pack his bags.
So Liu Shang started to pack his clothes for the second time in just three days. Yu Xiaobao did not tell him the specific itinerary, but after hearing what he said about visiting various parts of the island, it was obvious that he would not be able to return here in three to five days. . But this time, Yu Xiaobao came forward to give advice, and Liu Shang also enjoyed the blessing. He didn't even have to carry his luggage himself. After packing, Xiang Dalian asked him to take him to Yu Xiaothrone's boat docked on the nearby coast.
When Yu Xiaobao left the training base, Liu Shang had already joined the entourage. However, he was dressed in Ming Dynasty attire, which made him stand out in this team. The people headed by Yu Xiaobao all gave up the Ming style clothes with wide robes and large sleeves, and instead wore Haihan style clothes with a more slim fit. The clothes make the whole person look more energetic and capable. However, Yu Xiaobao didn't express any opinions on his clothing, which made Liu Shang, who had been secretly worried about this, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After leaving the training base, Yu Xiaobao led the team to the nearby Haihan Army School. Luhuitou Military Academy is currently the highest-level institution in the Haihan Army. All officers above the company level must complete relevant refresher courses here before they can be successfully promoted. Every year, hundreds of officers, including foreign military personnel, receive training here. It can be said to be the production line of Army officers.
How the Haihan Army's military power formed an invincible advantage in a short period of time has always been an unsolved mystery to the outside world, and very few non-military personnel are allowed to visit here. However, the Youth League in charge of Yu Xiaobao is obviously an exception. Almost 80% of the young officers and soldiers in the Haihan Army are members of the Youth League, and one of the necessary conditions for military personnel of appropriate age to be promoted to lieutenants, that is, company-level officers, is review. Whether you have youth league qualifications. If you don't join the Youth League, then the second lieutenant platoon leader has already reached the end of his career, or you have to wait beyond the Youth League years to get a chance to be promoted.
There are so many youth league members in the army, so it is only natural that Yu Xiaobao, the supervisor, should go to the front line to guide the work. Although he does not have the authority to command the army, his prestige is no less than that of some senior military officials. After Yu Xiaobao arrived at the military academy, all the students were gathered here for review, and their treatment was comparable to that of senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense.
Liu Shang is naturally interested in everything in the military academy, but he is only a temporary attaché now, so most of the time he can only follow and take a look around, and does not dare to interact with the students in the military academy on his own. Make contact.
What really surprised Liu Shang was that when he was reviewing the cadets of the military academy, he realized that there were so many foreign students here. In addition to the well-known Haihan vassals such as Annan and Champa, even the Ming Dynasty had officers training here, which was something he had never heard of before. Among the entire team of students undergoing review, foreigners accounted for almost one-third, and their nationalities were even more diverse, with at least seven or eight countries.
After Liu Shang noticed this, he had to re-examine Haihan's military influence in the South China Sea. Seeing that these foreign students all had the same actions and reactions as Haihan officers during the review process, it also shows that they have been deeply imprinted by Haihan's military system. If a war breaks out in the future, these countries will send troops to defend Haihan. Liu Shang would certainly not be surprised if he helped in the battle.
After the review, Yu Xiaobao held up a tin trumpet and delivered a brief lecture to the trainees. The general idea was to encourage them to study hard and be loyal to their country. But this was not the end. After the disbandment, Yu Xiaobao convened a group of young officers to hold a short meeting on the spot. It is said that these people are the backbone members of the Youth League and specialize in political work in the army.
After Liu Shang attended this meeting as an attaché, he finally had a general understanding of the existence of the Haihan Youth League in the military. These officers are the mouthpieces of the Youth League, and the grassroots soldiers are the targets of their propaganda and development. According to the establishment of the army, there are dedicated people at every level responsible for organizing the Youth League. Almost all of the people Yu Xiaobao met were senior officers above the company level. He only needed to hand over the affairs of the Youth League to them, and they would be organized like military orders. It was implemented step by step. All propaganda work of the Youth League in the military is also carried out around the center of "loyalty to Haihan". To put it bluntly, it means brainwashing and propaganda to the soldiers day after day, year after year. Let them be firm in their belief in loyalty to Haihan.
