Chapter 2590
When Ha Jianyi heard that the process was so complicated, he couldn't help but feel frustrated: "This is so troublesome! Send the application report to Sanya and wait for the Ministry of Culture and Education to approve it. Wouldn't it take a month or two to complete the back and forth process?"
Bai Letong said: "With the system being like this, there is nothing we can do about it. However, we can ask Wang Anguo to send a telegram directly to the executive committee to see if special cases can be handled, and we can make up the application report afterwards."
Ha Jianyi hesitated and said: "With Wang Anguo's level, can he directly make demands to the executive committee?"
"Although his official position is not high, after all, he still has the identity of being a special envoy representing the advance fleet. I think we can give it a try." After Bai Letong said this, he probably felt unsure, and added: "Maybe let him Go find Uncle Shi and think of a solution. If Uncle Shi comes forward to contact Sanya, things will be easier to handle.”
Ha Jianyi sighed and said: "It seems that this is the only way."
He originally wanted to find a shortcut for Wang Anguo from Bai Letong, but due to system constraints, Bai Letong obviously couldn't be of much help. Now he can only tell Wang Anguo the truth about the situation.
Bai Letong asked: "Wang Anguo was traveling with you, why didn't he come back together?"
Ha Jianyi responded: "Yes, he is back, but he still has many tasks to raise supplies. Now he is looking for Shi Chengwu to do something. By the way, the brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. I called Hongfang and Zijing to get together in the evening. Let’s get together. I gained a lot of knowledge during this trip to Zhoushan, and I will share it with you when the time comes.”
In addition to the four young people from Sanya, Wang Anguo and Shi Chengwu also came to the party that night. Wang Anguo was invited by Ha Jianyi, while Shi Chengwu was attracted by Wang Anguo. However, everyone is in the same circle and is of similar age, so it doesn’t look out of place when they are together.
After Wang Anguo saw Bai Letong, he took the initiative to thank him: "Thank you, Brother Bai, for your guidance. Otherwise, I would have wasted all my efforts in Hangzhou."
Bai Letong hurriedly said some polite words. Ning Zijing listened curiously and asked what Wang Anguo was doing. Only then did he learn that Wang Anguo planned to recruit teachers and take them overseas.
Of the six people present, three are serving in the military, two are engaged in business-related work, and only Bai Letong works in the cultural and educational yamen, so there are many doors here, and the others do not have much say. But now that Bai Letong is guiding him, Wang Anguo's job will be done with twice the result with half the effort.
However, Tao Hongfang and others were more concerned about Ha Jianyi's trip to Zhoushan and what new gains he had gained there.
When it comes to this topic, Ha Jianyi is also a little excited: "This trip to Zhoushan coincides with the large-scale defense change of the East China Sea Fleet, which can be regarded as a true experience of the strength of the East China Sea Fleet!"
When their group passed through Zhoushan on their way north, they met the returning fleet at Dinghai Port. Among them was the only Glorious-class battleship currently in service in Haihan, the Zhoushan, which left a very deep impression on them. Ha Jianyi returned to Zhoushan again for inspection. One of his purposes was to find an opportunity to take a look at this new warship, which represents Haihan's highest level of shipbuilding.
When Ha Jianyi arrived at Dinghai Port, the Zhoushan was undergoing two months of maintenance in the port, giving him enough time to take a leisurely tour. So Ha Jianyi stayed on the Zhoushan for several days and gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of this new warship, which was still in the running-in period. Before that, Ha Jianyi thought that the ship was built independently by Zhoushan Shipyard and only relied on Hainan Island for power, weapons and other equipment, but in fact he saw many technicians from Sanya Shipyard on the ship. Responsible for maintenance and repairs, and these people are involved from the design and construction stage.
After some understanding, Ha Jianyi learned that Sanya was indeed deeply involved in the development and construction of the Glory-class warship, but almost all the relevant capital investment came from the East China Sea Region, so the final construction site and service troops were placed in To the East China Sea Region.
Whoever contributes the money benefits, and there's nothing wrong with that. Moreover, the relevant technology is not unique to Zhoushan Shipyard. If necessary in the future, Sanya can also build warships of the same level. The purpose of building the Zhoushan is to carry out technical verification to a greater extent, and then make subsequent improvements and improvements based on its service in the East China Sea Fleet.
Of course, with such a new warship to support the appearance, the deterrent power of the East China Sea Fleet at sea has also been greatly increased. After completing this maintenance, the Zhoushan will lead the defense fleet to the Japanese archipelago and be stationed in Sasebo Bay for about a year. It will also visit major coastal cities such as Osaka, Nagoya, and Edo as a cruising fleet. , as well as Busan Port in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and other places, showing Haihan's maritime power to Japan and North Korea.
When Tao Hongfang heard this, he couldn't help but asked: "Aren't these two countries very honest in recent years? What's going on?"
Ha Jianyi shook his head and said: "It's not that anything happened. Showing force to them from time to time will help maintain the stability of international relations. It will prevent people from being unstable and thinking about things they shouldn't think about."
Tao Hongfang suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly to express his understanding.
Wang Anguo said: "These small countries in the East China Sea eat hard rather than soft, and fight more than eat. They send armed fleets to patrol every now and then, which can keep them awake. By the way, it also allows our navy to conduct ocean-going operations training. More recently The Navy’s combat operations have decreased in 2017, and the East China Sea Fleet only operates in offshore areas most of the time. Such training opportunities are also relatively rare.”
After entering the mid-seventeenth century, Haihan had few rivals of equal strength in the waters of East Asia and even Southeast Asia. Therefore, the navy's mission gradually shifted from strategic offensive to maintaining regional stability, and the number of times it carried out combat operations was limited.
In order to maintain the navy's combat effectiveness, daily training at sea still needs to be maintained, but the costly offshore training has been relatively reduced. However, the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Region spans the waters of the Three Kingdoms. Both Japan and North Korea have naval units stationed. There will be large-scale defense changes every once in a while. This is a rare training opportunity for the navy.
Ning Zijing asked: "Does it mean that the larger the fleet participating in the parade, the better the deterrent effect?"
Wang Anguo explained: "Generally speaking, considering the issue of funding, we will still strike a balance point. The bigger the better, not the bigger. However, the timing of this defense change coincides with my return overseas, so by then my fleet will It may operate together with the East China Sea Fleet. This year’s cruise fleet will be larger than in previous years... It should probably keep these two countries honest for a while.”
