If the warship is compared to a cruise ship, the commander's cabin is the only special cabin, and it is actually more appropriate to say that it is a super luxurious imperial suite.

Even if the only one of the ships is only twenty square meters in square meters, after a bathroom is divided, a bed and a set of office tables and chairs can be placed. Large furniture such as wardrobe are all standard pieces, and are directly welded to the floor or walls, without any special things.

When Bai Zhizhan arrived, He Yongxing sat behind the desk and dumbfounded his head to review the documents.

"Report!"

"You can read these two documents now. If there is no problem, sign the documents."

Although Bai Zhizhan shouted, He Yongxing did not look up at him at all. When he approached, He Yongxing threw a folder over.

"Sit down, you're welcome."

As he said that, He Yongxing pointed to the pen holder with the pen inserted.

Sitting down, turning on the folder, and taking a look at it, Bai Zhizhan showed a look of surprise.

It's a promotion order!

In fact, getting the promotion did not surprise Bai Zhizhan, after all, it was a reward for merit, and the most valuable reward that He Yongxing could give was promotion to the military rank.

Although power is more important in the Imperial Navy, that is, military positions are more important, but power corresponds to military ranks. Only when you obtain a sufficiently high rank can you be qualified to assume corresponding powers. For example, the lowest rank corresponding to the commander of the squadron is a major general. He Yongxing was promoted from brigade general to major general more than two years ago, and then he removed the word "responsible" in front of the commander and firmly sat firmly on the throne of the commander.

What surprised Bai Zhizhan was that this was a promotion order for the second lieutenant to be promoted directly to the captain.

Even if the captain is a lieutenant, it is not ordinary to go from a lieutenant to a lieutenant. For a civilian officer, the captain is the first hurdle on the road to promotion.

The reason is very simple. The captain has the lowest military rank corresponding to the command post of "Chief". The captain of the submarine, the captain of the destroyer, and the chief department heads of the large warship are all captains. Therefore, no matter how capable they are, they must first achieve some results in the captain's position.

In fact, generals like He Yongxing performed well when they were captains and were able to rise to the top.

In addition, promotion beyond the level is of great significance.

At the beginning, He Yongxing commanded the 21st Squadron as the presiding commander. He wore the rank of brigadier general for half a year before he was promoted to major general.

For decades, the Imperial Navy has always emphasized the promotion method step by step, not rigid or strict, but will have different gains at different levels. These knowledge and skills will definitely play a role in the future, and they will even be indispensable.

Take the lieutenant who skipped Bai Zhizhan this time for example. The rank mainly corresponds to the deputy positions in various departments. Although the importance of the deputy positions is not high, only by practicing in the deputy positions in different departments can we have enough intuitive and profound understanding of the organizational structure and operation methods of a warship or even a fleet, and only by entering a higher command position can we better exert our personal abilities.

To put it bluntly, the Imperial Navy's promotion system has been in operation for decades and has not changed much. It has been widely used by the navies of other countries and has become a general promotion system for global navies. It can itself illustrate the advancedness and rationality of this system.

There is a promotion beyond level, but it often happens in wartime.

The war is not over yet, so it is considered wartime.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhan picked up the pen placed in the pen holder.

Relatively speaking, this order of promotion gave Bai Zhizhan far more surprise than shock, because skipping the lieutenant would mean that he would have struggled for at least five years.

When Bai Zhizhan took off the pen cover and was preparing to sign the signature, he remembered that He Yongxing said there were two documents.

Bai Zhizhan didn't think much about it and turned to the second page.

Just a glance, he was stunned.

This is a transfer order!

After a few glances, Bai Zhizhan's face turned pale and colorless.

In fact, this is a position appointment and removal order, and there is only one sentence.

Captain Bai Zhizhan was removed from his post as a staff officer in the 21st Squadron Command, and was transferred to the local fleet equipment command, and temporarily served as senior project director of the Construction Department.

What's the point of doing this?

He made contributions and was exiled after being promoted?

The staff officer of the squadron headquarters is a combat position that directly participates in command operations. The Construction Department of the Equipment Command is Qingshui Yamen, and the senior project manager is actually a civilian position.

What is it that I am transferred from a combat position to a civilian position?

For any naval officer who graduated from a regular professional class, being thrown into a civilian position is equivalent to exile or even an insult!

The pen was hanging above the file and had not fallen.

"I have signed an order. After returning to the port of Mai Chuan, the Beihe and Nanjiang will go to the Naval Shipyards in Puzhou and Tuzhou for maintenance. You can prepare first, and follow the Beihe to the Puzhou Naval Shipyard to report to Colonel Liu Xiangdong." He Yongxing signed the documents he had just read, and then pushed them to Bai Zhizhan. "He is the supervisor of the Longjiang."

The last sentence woke Bai Zhizhan up.

"Commander He, you start talking..."

"You heard it right." He Yongxing smiled and said, "When the 'Longjiang' is completed, you will be the first combat staff member."

Now, Bai Zhizhan did not hesitate anymore and signed the two documents a few times.

The "Longjiang" is the No. 4 of the "Beihe" class battlecruiser. It will be started at the same time as the No. 3 "Mohe", the No. 5 "Linghe" and the No. 6 "Hengjiang", but the latter two are built in Shizhou. According to the initial plan, these four battleships should be built this year, plus two sister ships to form the 21st squadron, and the four replaced battlecruisers will form the 22nd squadron.

Unfortunately, due to various factors such as production capacity, the construction of the four warships has been repeatedly delayed.

At the end of last year, because several battleships were to be overhauled, the Tutzhou Shipyard could only stop the construction of two battlecruisers.

Until now, these two warships are still on the platform of the Shipyard in the Shipzhou Shipyard.

As for when the construction will be reopened, let alone the shipyard, even the Imperial Navy Command is not clear.

The two ships in Puzhou Shipyard are better, at least they have not completely stopped.

According to the adjusted construction plan, the delivery date of these two warships was postponed to the 80th year of the New Calendar, and it could be launched at the end of the 79th year at the earliest.

"Commander He, is there anything else?"

At this time, Bai Zhizhan's mood was not very excited, and at most he had just returned to normal.

As a supervisor, participating in the construction of warships or the main battleship is an honor for any naval officer.

However, Bai Zhizhan felt that he might not see what the "Longjiang" looks like after it is built.

Can the war be delayed for two years?

In addition, Bai Zhizhan has discovered that in his promotion order and appointment order, the signature section in the lower left corner was stamped with the seal of the local fleet commander.

Obviously, the rumors were not fake, and He Yongxing was already the commander of the local fleet.
Chapter completed!
