Chapter 348: Shelling Jinzhou Wei 1
In the business, the superiors and subordinates obey the superiors, and everyone is equal in terms of living treatment. This is a principle and policy that the Baath Party has always adhered to. Nowhere is this more direct and evident than in the Baath Party's troops.
Let's take the advance fleet that executes the Terminator plan, for example. On ships, ordinary soldiers and officer cadres were treated exactly the same. Officers eating alone in their own diners did not exist in the Revath Navy.
It doesn't matter if you eat well or badly, whether you eat fresh meals or hairy military rations. Whether it is an officer cadre or an ordinary soldier, they eat together on the deck, and they eat the same thing.
On the ships of the Navy of the Renaissance Army, perhaps the officers, cadres and technicians do not need to do those tasks such as washing decks. But this is only a difference in business, not a difference in status. The equality of all officers and men is the same basic principle that must be adhered to in all units of the Ba'ath Party.
In addition to the basic things of food and housing, there is no difference in status in terms of salary and allowance income. However, there are differences in the level of business.
In the Baath Army, rank is tied to position. Only the corresponding military rank can hold the corresponding position. However, it is not the position that determines the rank, but the comprehensive results of the three major assessments of ideological and theoretical knowledge, professional knowledge, and military skills. That is to say, no matter who the person is, as long as the results of the three major assessments and the corresponding practice accumulation time, these fully quantified data meet the standards, they can obtain the corresponding military rank. Only after obtaining the corresponding military rank can you assume the corresponding position.
In this way, the officers of the Renaissance Army will first pass the examination and assessment and then obtain their ranks, and then arrange the corresponding positions according to their ranks. At the same time, whether it is the division of houses, salary levels and welfare levels, they are also paid according to military ranks. It was not uncommon for soldiers who were paid higher salaries and salaries than captains and commissars for technical work in the naval fleet of the Renaissance Army.
Power and status have nothing to do with economic income, but the level of business and technology is directly linked to economic income. Such a system is the same in all the institutions of the Ba'ath Party.
After three months of sea trials and a comprehensive survey of the navigation route from the fleet base to the Liaodong region according to the charts provided by the headquarters, the first naval fleet of the Baath Party, consisting of five 1,000-ton ships with hybrid sails and steam, returned to their home port of Zhijiang.
In the 17th century, seafaring was already a somewhat technical job. However, unlike modern society, due to the limitation of the level of development of productive forces, navigation technology has not yet reached the level of high-end that ordinary people cannot master.
That is, under natural circumstances, as long as he can swim and the seasickness is not so bad, a person with better physical fitness, if he adapts to the sea ship for a few months, and is lucky enough not to die, then he can become a basically qualified sailor.
Compared with ordinary crews, the captains of sea ships in this era did master certain skills. Of course, this technique is not even mastered by every captain. Generally speaking, only the captain of the ship who is responsible for the work of the ocean will master the skills of reading the nautical chart and defending the position.
However, these technologies are not high-end. The reason why these are illiterate seagoing captains who are very careful to keep their sailing skills secret is that as long as they are individuals and have received a certain amount of training, they can have such skills.
In terms of technical level, the current ship technology of the Baath Party is comprehensively superior to this era. Whether it was the structure of a ship with an iron-ribbed wooden shell or the self-propelled power provided by a steam engine, these things were more than two hundred years ahead of the world.
However, in an absolute sense, apart from the increase in the speed of shipbuilding, there is no absolute superiority or disadvantage between the two in terms of sturdiness compared to the traditional wooden hull. In a way, the flute-shaped boats currently used by the Western colonizers, made of high-quality wood, may be stronger than the Saathist-made shear-type boats.
From the point of view of ship power, although due to the size of the boat, the speed of the clipper using Chinese hard sails is faster than that of all the ships in the world at present. And because of the installation of steam engines, these steamers could also sail with steam engines in the absence of wind.
However, on the one hand, because of the limitations between the tonnage of the current ships and the power that the steam engines could provide, and on the other hand, because the Baath Party had not been able to build a large number of ports and bases for these ships that could provide coal and water supplies. So, even if the ship is steam-powered, most of the time the ship's main power is sail-powered, except when it is necessary, such as during combat and port entry.
The insufficient output power of the steam engine, the insufficient coal that the ships themselves could carry, and the lack of sufficient coal-water supply bases were all problems that currently confronted the Baath Navy.
Even the Baath Party is now able to produce qualified, even very sophisticated steam locomotives (Dragon locomotives) of the early twentieth century. However, because the mechanical department of the Baath Party has not yet mastered and skillfully produced high-quality marine steam engines, the production of large-tonnage steam-powered steamships in the past ten years has been a key target of the Baath Party's shipbuilding industry department.
At the end of 1627, the Central Military Council of the Baath Party convened a meeting to discuss the next phase of the Terminator program.
After summarizing the materials brought back by the advance fleet, the Military Commission asked Wang Shuhui a question, that is, what is the goal of the first phase of the Terminator program?
One of the problems of the Baath Party is that its members now have the ability to discuss, analyze, and implement specific issues, but the Baath Party members do not yet have a relatively high level of decision-making ability.
At the present stage, the lack of decision-making power of Baath Party members has begun to become a relatively big problem.
Even though the ruling area has been expanded to the whole of Hubei Province, and local party and government institutions have been established in each county of Hubei. However, when it comes to specific work, when it comes to making decisions, local party committees are still accustomed to pushing issues up and asking the central authorities for their attitude and opinions.
If special circumstances arise in the course of work, and if there are situations that are not mentioned in the work manual and corresponding documents, the local party and government organs will be in a hurry. In many cases, they would rather wait for the decisions and opinions of the central authorities than make decisions and decisions on their own. This is the reason why the work of the Central Committee of the Baath Party is getting busier and more complicated.
The Central Committee of the Ba'ath Party has shown itself to be more methodical and methodical in making decisions on local issues, but when it comes to the overall decision-making and decision-making of the Ba'ath Party as a whole, the performance of the Ba'ath Party's top leadership is not much better than that of the Ba'ath Party's local party and government organs.
Asking Wang Shuhui, waiting for Wang Shuhui to make a decision, and then studying, analyzing, and implementing the decision made by Wang Shuhui is the practice of the top level of the Baath Party.
As usual, after the completion of the advance part of the Terminator plan, the Military Commission of the Renaissance Army directly asked Wang Shuhui what the goals and tasks of the next stage were. Space-Time Gate 1619
