86_86661In response to the problem of talents, Chen Zhong has set up a human resources department. First, a large number www.biquge.info of talents are recruited at home and abroad, and the nationality of talents is not required except for individual departments. The second is to vigorously cultivate talents.
Therefore, the establishment of schools is also one of the most important things in Hainan. The Hainan royal government invested nearly one million taels of silver and set up nearly 50 primary, intermediate, and senior schools. According to the current average education level of Hainan, the teaching system and syllabus of Hainan have been formulated.
Children in Hainan go to school free of charge at the elementary level. Intermediate and senior schools have a fee-plus scholarship elimination system until graduation.
From these graduates, select outstanding students to join various industries in Hainan.
In order to cooperate with military and military talents, Hainan has established an army command school, an artillery school, a naval school, and a shipbuilding school. Among them, the Hainan Shipbuilding School was established the fastest.
The Ship Master School has two majors, ship construction and military command, and all students who are able to complete their studies must be required to attain the ability to build ships according to the plan and to serve as naval commanders.
Among them, the most outstanding and outstanding students will study in Britain, France, Germany and other countries at public expense to learn driving and shipbuilding technology.
Hainan Shipbuilding School is subordinate to the Hainan Shipbuilding Industry Bureau. The General Administration of Industry consists of an iron hammering plant, an iron drawing factory, a power workshop, a turbine factory, an installation workshop, an iron casting factory, a manufacturing instrument workshop, an iron-making factory, a sawing factory, etc., as well as the Haima Shipyard, which manufactures giant warships, and the Hainan Shipbuilding School.
The funds for the establishment of the Hainan Shipbuilding School were invested by the General Administration of Industry. At first, the General Directorate of Industry invested 500,000 taels of silver, and the hardware from the school building to the teaching facilities was built according to the most advanced naval teaching facilities in the world.
The faculty of the school is composed of non-military professors and military instructors.
Almost all non-military professors have graduated from professional naval schools around the world and are qualified to be hired for life.
The number of graduates of the professional colleges of military tutors is relatively small, and there are almost no lifelong military professors. Most of the tenured military professors were former lieutenant commanders of the Hainan Fleet, and some were captains of ships.
The teaching goal of the military command major of the Hainan Shipbuilding School is to enable the trainees to achieve the ability to achieve the tasks of the junior command and staff department after graduation.
The purpose is to improve the command level of the cadets and to enable them to understand the construction, role and working procedures of the staff organs in wartime, including the staff operations of the Coalition Command and the Combined Forces Command.
The duration of the department is 12 months, and the enrollment is one session per year, with about 300 students, of whom 60% are naval captain officers, and the rest are Marine Corps officers and civilian personnel of the Navy Department. Most of the cadets are selected from the active duty soldiers of the fleet, and the other 30% are recruited from the civilian selection.
The teaching of the junior command and staff department of the Hainan Shipbuilding School is divided into two major topics.
The first major issue is the basic elements of war. The second major topic is naval warfare, and at the end of the two major topics, each student must write a paper on naval operations and construction.
In addition, the school has set up a class of senior commanders in the military command major.
The teaching objectives of the advanced command class are to enable the cadets to further grasp the laws of war, enhance their ability to command operations, study and explore the basic principles of naval and land joint operations and the use of naval forces in future operations, and train senior commanders for the navy.
The duration of the first and second classes of naval warfare of the High Command Department is six months, and the two classes admit about 80 cadets, half of whom are naval major or lieutenant colonel officers, and the rest are officers of the Marine Corps, the Naval Guard, and civilian personnel of the Navy Military Department.
The first class of naval advanced command naval warfare mainly focuses on tactical, strategic, and logistical issues, and the focus of teaching is on the use of various arms of the navy. The second class of naval warfare mainly studies strategic issues.
The purpose of the shipbuilding class of the Shipbuilding School is to cultivate shipbuilding and design talents, and the main shipbuilding major is offered.
There are courses in French, basic mathematics, analytic geometry, calculus, physics, mechanics, hull construction, steam engine construction, etc. After graduating, particularly outstanding students are sent to the UK for further study.
The purpose of the ship piloting class is to train pilots and naval captains at sea, and the main majors are piloting and marine engineering.
There are courses in English, geography, nautical astronomy, navigation theory, etc., and those who excel in learning will be selected to study in the UK.
The establishment of the Hainan Shipbuilding School has effectively guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel for the expansion of the Hainan Fleet and has better coordinated with the upgrading of the large warships under construction.
The establishment of the Hainan Shipbuilding Industry Bureau has laid a magnificent framework for Hainan to build the world's first-class navy in the future, and in this huge structure, Hainan's naval development will enter a new historical era, which will also become a monumental symbol of the world's navy.
At the same time that Hainan is opening the era of shipbuilding, countries around the world are also in full swing to start a fierce shipbuilding competition.
With the support of the Hainan royal government for private shipyards, the navy has increasingly handed over the responsibility of new technology development and new warship design to private shipyards, and at the same time, more shipbuilding orders have begun to shift to the private shipbuilding industry.
In the face of huge interests, private shipyards also have many investment consortiums to provide sufficient funds for the expansion of docks and slipways and the upgrading and improvement of maintenance facilities, which will form a greater advantage for naval shipyards in terms of basic construction, and further enhance their competitiveness in various ship orders.
At the beginning of the 20th century, battleships were the most deterrent and complex of all warships, and the requirements for construction conditions were undoubtedly the most stringent, and at the same time, there were extremely high requirements for the design and manufacturing capabilities and integration capabilities of armament, armor, power plant, hull and other subsystems.
Therefore, in the era of giant warships, the navy spent on the construction of battleships, the materials and manpower, as well as the progress within the shipbuilding industry, are the key to the shipbuilding race of various countries.
It is obvious that the ability to build giant warships, both economically and in terms of prestige, will bring extremely high profits to civilian shipbuilding companies.
Therefore, whenever the Hainan Shipbuilding Industry Bureau issues a tender for a new battleship, all civilian shipyards will fight to the death to win the order and start a business war that is no less than real guns.
In addition to the competition in quotations, shipyards will also actively develop new technologies and equipment, and even build new docks and slipways to prove themselves superior and more reliable.
Based on the conditions in Hainan, all the shipyards and arsenals could not be filled with the task of this large-scale production, so Chen Zhong announced that all the Hainan royal government would invest part of the funds to participate in the construction and production.
In this way, private shipyards can have no worries, and at the same time, reasonable investment in the industrial chain avoids the waste of resources, and allows the Admiralty to directly control the entire shipbuilding system, thus gaining the power to concentrate limited human resources on an urgent project.
