Chapter 2484
However, the Executive Committee is not disgusted with the recruitment behavior of various overseas colonial areas that is close to "poaching" in the country. Not only does it acquiesce to this practice, it will even take this opportunity to appoint some grassroots officials to each colonial area.
Due to the limitations of objective conditions, the Haihan Executive Committee's rule over overseas colonial areas can only be achieved through the transmission of various political and military orders. Each colonial area has great autonomy in politics, economy, trade, military and other aspects. In addition, there are only a small number of time travelers who are capable and willing to serve as senior officials in overseas colonial areas. Therefore, unless they take the initiative to request, they will generally not be replaced. Most of the colonial area chief officials have not been replaced since they took office. Moved over the pit.
Although this can ensure the continuity of various administrative policies in the colonial areas and is conducive to local construction and development, the problem it brings is also obvious, that is, it is easy to form a situation of local separatism. The military and political power of a colonial area has been concentrated in the hands of one or two people for a long time. Over time, the influence of the executive committee will inevitably become weaker and weaker. Therefore, some means and methods must be used to ensure that these overseas colonial areas have a strong influence on the colonial area. National loyalty will not be in question.
Controlling the supply of materials in the colonial areas, especially the supply of weapons and ammunition, is one of the most effective means used by the Executive Committee for many years. However, later, because of the inconvenience of supplying some distant overseas colonial areas and the objective need to prepare for war, the restrictions were gradually relaxed. For example, the Ministry of National Defense decentralized the manufacturing process of standard warships, allowing shipyards in various colonial areas to have the ability to build combat ships on their own.
Of course, the manufacturing process of some weapons and equipment with relatively advanced performance is still a high-level secret, and can only be produced in Tiandu Industrial Zone and Sanya Shipyard, in order to ensure that Haihan still retains absolute military power relative to overseas colonial areas. Advantages.
In addition to the field of armaments, personnel appointments are of course also one of the effective means for the Executive Committee to control overseas colonial areas. Although senior officials in colonial areas are generally not easily replaced, there are often hundreds of civil servants at various departments and levels in a colonial area. Some of the more professional positions are not suitable for everyone and can only be filled through domestic Solved by delegation.
Overseas colonial areas can also obtain a certain number of talents from the country through independent recruitment. But whether they are appointed or recruited by themselves, these people are basically based in the areas centered on Hainan Island and Fuguang. Their reliability is definitely much higher than those recruited from the local areas by the colonial areas. There are also some experienced people among them. The intelligence and internal affairs department placed spies in the colonial areas.
However, the employment method that really makes the Executive Committee jealous is that senior officials in various colonial areas will appoint their cronies and children locally, and then gradually manage these colonial areas into private territories and turn the garrisons into private armed forces. , forming a de facto local separatist regime.
The time-travelers are slowly getting older. It is actually human nature for these local officials who manage overseas colonial areas to want to pass on their power to future generations. But the Executive Committee must not allow this to happen, otherwise the country will return to feudal society within one or two generations at most, and may even lead to the country falling apart.
Therefore, the Executive Committee has already taken preventive measures against this situation, that is, it stipulates that the positions of military and political officials in various overseas colonial areas cannot be hereditary. Even if they want to train their children to pursue an official career in the future, they must work in other places to avoid family problems in the local area. The situation of the world.
Although local officials in each colonial area may not agree with such regulations, they also know that if such a system is not formulated, the country will start to have troubles before all the time travelers pass away, so even if they are dissatisfied, they still Such regulations will be observed.
Of course, with the power and wealth these high-ranking officials possess, it is not difficult to find a good future for their children. Most of these second-generation people who have received good education since childhood are far beyond ordinary people in terms of knowledge, and can get help from the previous generation's connections. They will still have a high probability of taking over the power left by their parents in the future, but they will have to change places. . So far, the number of descendants of time-travelers has greatly exceeded that of their parents. There are more than 1,400 second-generation time-travelers on record, and there are more than 200 third-generation children, which can be regarded as a prosperous population. And the successors who will govern this country in the future will basically come from this range.
These children who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths want to find an official job when they reach adulthood. Naturally, they do not have to go through the layers of selection like ordinary people. Regardless of which civil or military path they choose, most of them can find a good position in the country or in other overseas colonial areas ruled by their uncles and elders simply through the arrangements of their parents.
Situations like Tian Yeyou's personal trip to Nanhai to greet Roger and pave the way for his son are actually special cases, because Tian Yeyou himself does not have much actual power, and the only resources that can be exchanged with others are his professional skills. You have to be there in person to be effective. It is much easier for other senior officials with great power to do the same thing. Those who are also in Sanya can make private appointments to meet and discuss. If they contact overseas senior officials, they only need a handwritten letter or even a telegram. The children's future is well arranged.
On National Day this year, many second-generation children rushed back to Sanya from overseas. Taking advantage of the holidays of various departments, they went to visit a few uncles and elders with whom they had already contacted to finalize their future.
As for which places are good places to go, you don’t actually need to ask around. You just need to buy a few newspapers and take a look at the talent recruitment information in various regions, and you will have a rough idea.
Of course, there are also many children whose goal is not overseas colonial areas, but the national departments in Sanya. Although the threshold for these yamen is much higher, if you can get a position in them, your future development prospects will be very promising. It is no exaggeration to say that if you plan to join the executive committee in a few years and become one of the few big figures in charge of national power, serving in Sanya will indeed have the advantage of being first-come-first-served.
In addition to these young time-travelers, there was another group of people who came to Sanya at this time, namely officials from other places who returned to Beijing to report on their duties. Among them, most of them are officials from Fuzhou and Guangzhou who were annexed by Haihan in recent years.
Due to the limited scale of Haihan's own training of officials, it was unable to appoint enough personnel to Fuzhou and Guangzhou to take over local official positions. Therefore, a large number of local grassroots officials who originally served the Ming Dynasty were retained, including even state-level officials. Haihan's requirements for officials' abilities were different from those of the Ming Dynasty. It was not enough to just write memorials. Officials above the county level had to go to Sanya in batches to report on their duties.
Arrange two to three groups of officials to return to Beijing every year to report on their work. In a few years, the Executive Committee will be able to have a general understanding of the capabilities of these local officials. For some of them who are waiting to die, or even those who are dissatisfied, they can be punished. Those who should be replaced are replaced, and those who should be eliminated are eliminated.
