Chapter 2525
Over the years, Haihan has been able to effectively rule an increasingly large territory. In addition to the carefully established bureaucratic system, another very important condition is the long-distance information transmission system built through radio stations. With the telegraph network that transcends the times, various political orders from Fort Victory can be delivered to the ruling areas including overseas colonies in a very short time, and what is happening in various places can also be summarized in Sanya as soon as possible for the executive committee to Will be able to strategize and direct the overall situation.
Of course, there is no doubt about the military function of this black technology. Haihan has taken advantage of information transmission in large and small wars, allowing the Haihan army with limited troops to calmly defeat enemies from all walks of life. Although the radio itself cannot kill enemies like a weapon, any commander of the Haihan Army highly praises the role of this "artifact" on the battlefield and regards it as an indispensable part of the Haihan Army. important component.
The Executive Committee attaches great importance to the technical confidentiality of radio stations. Radio stations installed anywhere are directly controlled by the military, and only specially trained communications troops can master the use of this equipment. As a technical branch that is extremely difficult to train, the signal corps also enjoys a special status in the military, and its treatment is far better than that of ordinary soldiers.
Senior officials like Shi Diwen, who are in charge of the military and political power of the East China Sea Region, have a communications team around them all year round. They will follow Shi Diwen with communication equipment wherever he goes, so as to communicate with other parts of the empire. Keep information transmission timely and smooth at all times.
The message Yang Yun sent from Zhoushan was picked up and transcribed by the signal corps in a mansion outside Hangzhou a few moments later, and then immediately sent to Shi Diwen's office according to the level marked in the message.
When Shi Diwen saw that the sent message was marked with the words "First Class Confidential" and "Urgent", he put down the work at hand and browsed the contents of the message. A faint smile appeared on his face as he read it.
"This Yang Yun is still a little out of control!"
Shi Diwen made a judgment on Yang Yun's reaction, but this judgment did not affect his trust in Yang Yun. On the contrary, Yang Yun's "unbearable" behavior, in his opinion, But it is a manifestation of loyalty, which shows that Yang Yun's position is still more inclined to his own side, rather than blindly respecting the executive committee in Sanya and those names that only appear in official documents and Haihan Times.
Regarding Sanya's arrangement of sending several second-generation children to Hangzhou, Shi Diwen did not want to speculate too much on the true intentions of their parents, but he could not completely ignore the signal sent by this move.
The time-travelers are gradually getting older, and power and wealth will inevitably be handed over to the next generation. However, this handover process will be very long, and it may last twenty or thirty years. In this process, the time-travelers, especially those who hold the power of the country, naturally need to first train their descendants to become qualified rulers. Therefore, these young people will be slowly sent to various parts of the empire to gradually understand and become familiar with how the empire operates, and how the rulers use various means to govern the country and develop national strength.
At some point in the future, when the time-travelers believe that their abilities are sufficient to assume the position of ruler, they will gradually transfer power to them, allowing the country to enter the next generation.
This kind of training of successors is not just done by the big shots on the executive committee. In fact, the vast majority of time-travelers who have expectations for the next generation are doing similar things. It's just that there are specialties in the arts, and most of those time travelers who are engaged in technical work can only pass on some professional knowledge that transcends the times to their children; while senior officials with military and political power can mobilize more resources and hand them over to their subordinates. Things also vary from generation to generation. As a senior official stationed abroad all year round, Shi Diwen did not return to Sanya very frequently, so he did not know much about the plans and arrangements of the senior officials in Victory Fort for their children's future. But he knew that if those on the executive committee were determined to train future generations to take over, they would definitely not let these young people stay in the greenhouse on Hainan Island forever. It would be an inevitable arrangement to send them out to travel around the world.
Shi Diwen was so sure because he had arranged this for his children. After finishing middle school in Sanya, his three sons did not choose to continue their studies. Instead, they returned to Zhejiang and traveled to various parts of Northeast Asia under his arrangement to increase their knowledge and accumulate social experience.
Shi Diwen planned to give his sons a general understanding of the international situation in Northeast Asia and the social conditions of the former Ming Dynasty, and then arrange for them to enter officialdom for a few years as internships, and then go to Sanya to learn relevant knowledge.
This arrangement is probably a little different from the approach in Sanya. For example, these young people who visited Zhejiang this time, as far as Shi Diwen knows, all entered the officialdom directly after finishing school. Now they are working in Hainan Island. After serving as an official for several years, he began to be arranged to travel in the name of performing official duties. It's hard to say which approach is more effective, but Shi Diwen firmly believes that his arrangements for his children are more in line with his family's actual situation.
From the message sent by Yang Yun, it seems that these young people expressed some negative views about themselves during their stay at Dinghai Port in Zhoushan. Of course, these remarks were not made in public, so they did not have any impact. Yang Yun had also made arrangements to prevent insiders from leaking secrets.
Shi Diwen understood what Yang Yun was worried about. It was certainly possible that these young people's views on moving the capital were influenced by their parents, or even directly relayed their parents' views. If that's the case, maybe some people in the executive committee have a bad opinion of Shi Diwen, which of course may affect his future career and even the situation in the East China Sea region. As a subordinate he cultivated, Yang Yun would naturally be nervous about this.
Shi Diwen originally didn't want to make any special arrangements for the arrival of these young people. Being too enthusiastic would appear to be flattering, and being too indifferent might be interpreted as hostility. No matter what attitude he took the initiative to adopt, it might be interpreted negatively. Doing nothing and adapting to the ever-changing situation may be the safest way.
Shi Diwen also wanted to see if these young people would take the initiative to visit him after arriving in Zhejiang. The attitude they showed was likely to represent the attitude of their parents to a certain extent. Moreover, compared with the old foxes on the executive committee, these young people should be easier to deal with, and Shi Diwen does not need to spend too much time playing intrigues and testing tricks with them.
Of course, he still had to give recognition to Yang Yun's intentions. Immediately, he drafted a brief call back, asking Yang Yun not to alarm the other party and to carefully monitor their movements. His decision coincided with the instructions given by Yang Yun in Zhoushan.
