Chapter 2506
As the most conspicuous landmark in Sanya Victory Port, the New World has been anchored in Sanya Victory Port for more than 20 years. In fact, it has basically never moved since the day it docked in Yulin Bay. However, this does not prevent the New World from becoming one of the spiritual totems of the Haihan Kingdom, and its status is even as high as the Victory Fort, the seat of the Haihan Executive Committee.
These young people on the official ship were taken to the New World by their parents when they were very young to see the engineering miracles from another world. Like their fathers, they firmly believe that the Haihan Kingdom can one day build such a giant steel ship to conquer the endless ocean.
But the foundation for building giant steel ships is developed industry, which is also the direction Haihan has been working hard to move forward in recent years. In the early years, the official slogan of opening borders with force and rejuvenating the country with business has gradually been adjusted to the new theory of "building a country with industry", which shows that the Executive Committee attaches great importance to industrialization.
The education that Tao Hongfang and others received since childhood was to build Haihan into an industrialized country. Therefore, their knowledge of industry is much better than that of ordinary people, and they also understand that industrial technologies such as shipbuilding have an important impact on national strength. What contribution will the improvement make. Even Bai Letong, who had previously argued with Ha Jianyi about the significance of building warships, could not deny the importance of shipbuilding technology.
Tao Hongfang continued: "The Donghai Region has always been the most prosperous overseas region. General Shi has indeed invested a lot of money in the research and development of shipbuilding technology during the years he has been in charge of the Donghai Region. If he really has mastered the capabilities of Sanya Shipbuilding I think it’s also a good thing to improve the factory’s technology. Elders often say that only with competition can we make progress!”
Ning Zijing smiled and shook his head and said: "Whether it is the Sanya Shipyard or the Zhoushan Shipyard in Zhejiang, the Zhang family is the backbone. After all, it is just a competition within the Zhang family."
The Zhang family that Ning Zijing refers to naturally refers to the family of Zhang Tiangui, a shipbuilder who took refuge in Haihan. With his rich shipbuilding experience and superb craftsmanship, Zhang Tiangui has served as the technical director of Haihan Shipbuilding Industry for a long time after joining the company, becoming a master-level figure in this field. Over the years, Zhang Tiangui has played a key role in the development and construction of both civilian and military ships.
After Haihan occupied Zhoushan, out of strategic considerations, he wanted to build a large shipyard there. Zhang Qianxiang, Zhang Tiangui's second son, was sent to Zhoushan to take charge of the work.
It has been twenty years since the Zhoushan Shipyard was completed and put into operation. From the beginning, it could only build small civilian ships, and now it has become the leading large-scale shipyard in the East China Sea, competing with Sanya Shipyard in the south and north. Zhang Qianxiang, as The factory director certainly deserves a lot of credit.
However, compared to the traditional shipbuilding technology that Zhang Tiangui is good at, the Zhoushan Shipyard chaired by Zhang Qianxiang is more inclined to develop and use new technologies and apply them to the construction of military ships. For example, based on the Black Shark iron-clad experimental ship back then, a large-scale iron-clad ship with greater tonnage, stronger power, and stronger firepower was built.
These advanced shipbuilding technologies are naturally important secrets, but nowadays, almost all the large shipyards in Haihan are handled by Zhang Tiangui's disciples and disciples. Ning Zijing's assessment is not wrong.
However, the understanding of the shipbuilding industry among these people present seemed to stop there. It was difficult to discuss this topic in depth, and the topic returned to the purpose of this trip to Hangzhou.
Although the transfer orders from their superiors clearly stated their respective tasks, it was not the first day that these people entered the officialdom. After communicating with each other, they naturally realized that this arrangement was unusual.
"It just so happened that we all received a temporary mission that required immediate departure on the same day. It happened that there was an official ship going to Hangzhou, and it happened that we were all good friends. How could there be so many coincidences in the world? Hong Hong Fang, are you right?" Ning Zijing asked the question to Tao Hongfang with a smile. Tao Hongfang felt that Ning Zijing seemed to have noticed something, but he would definitely not admit that everyone's itinerary was related to him on this occasion. He shook his head and said: "I think it is not important whether it is a coincidence. What we should pay attention to is, The superiors arranged for the four of us to go to Hangzhou. What exactly do we need to do there? In other words, we should think about what kind of situation there is and make the superiors think that the four of us need to work together to deal with it. "< br>
Tao Hongfang's rhetoric indeed succeeded in diverting everyone's attention. Bai Letong responded: "General Shi has been in charge of the Donghai Region for more than 20 years, and has always been safe and sound. Last year, he proposed to the Executive Committee to move the capital to Hangzhou, and it was recognized by the Executive Committee. Logically speaking, nothing will happen. .”
Ha Jianyi also responded: "The troops stationed in the Donghai Region are strong and strong. Even if someone is in trouble locally, General Shi should be able to deal with it calmly."
Ning Zijing said: "But if someone is plotting rebellion, then they probably won't send a few of us there, right? I don't think things are that simple."
Although the four of them have extraordinary status and their own strengths, their influence outside Hainan Island is almost zero, and they are indeed not suitable for being sent out to complete some risky tasks.
Tao Hongfang said: "I have an idea. The local problems in Hangzhou may not only exist in a certain field, so Sanya needs to send professional officials from various departments to discover and deal with the problems. After selecting a few of us, I think one is Because our identities can withstand pressure, the second is that we are not susceptible to external temptations, and the third is related to our respective departments. ”
"Fourth, we should take this opportunity to leave Hainan Island and go to the outside world to exercise!" Ning Zijing added to Tao Hongfang's opinion, and it was obvious that he also agreed with Tao Hongfang's opinion.
If Sanya sends ordinary officials to deal with difficult affairs in other places, they may not be able to get the cooperation of the local government because of insufficient weight, and may even receive various coercion and inducements from the local area. This has not been the case in the past 20 years of governance history. rare.
Obviously, these people will not have such a problem. Although their official positions are not high, their status and background are enough to dissuade ordinary monsters and monsters. If someone wants to use money to bribe them, it is even more miscalculated. The wealth of their family is unimaginable to outsiders, and the price to impress them will probably be astronomical.
Tao Hongfang, Ha Jianyi, and Bai Letong are respectively engaged in work in the fields of business, military, and publicity. Together with Ning Zijing, who knows a little bit about everything and is very smart, this combination can indeed be considered comprehensive. , enough to set up a temporary team to deal with most of the problems encountered in an unfamiliar environment.
