Zhang Wei spoke first: "Minister Li, let's talk about what are the major international events during my absence? ”

Li Minmin said: "Your Majesty, first of all, I will not say much about the "Yellow Peril Theory" mentioned in the morning; Because the empire defeated Japan and occupied a large area of the United States and Canada in succession, the countries in the world implemented a second round of military expansion, the German army plan to expand from 800,000 to 1.2 million, France planned to expand from 1.2 million to 1.6 million, Russia directly expanded to 2 million, Britain is also expanding its army, other second-rate countries are also carrying out military expansion operations, and the empire's rifles and mountain artillery field artillery have been selling well recently; Russia has increased its troops to 300,000 on the Miaojie to Boli to Vladivostok line of the Far Eastern Military District, and to 300,000 troops on the Ulan-Ude to Chita line of the Siberian Military District. “

Zhang Wei said: "It seems that the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful, so the empire will add fire to them; In the morning, when I discussed the "Yellow Peril", I decided to use this as a pretext to start a war against Britain and France, to prepare to occupy Australia and New Zealand, and to recover the northern part of Kalimantan, as well as Burma and the whole of South Asia to the east; The situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense, and the naval guard competition is in full swing, and there may be a fight at any time, and if the empire wants to take advantage of Europe, it must first stabilize the rear and expel Britain and France from South Asia, so that there will be no worries when it goes to war with foreign countries in the future. “

Lu Weimin said: "Since His Majesty has decided to start a war, and the General Staff has fully supported it, eliminating the threat that is close at hand, it will be much easier for the empire to act in the future, what if it is just an excuse?" It's better not to be unknown. “

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "With Minister Li here, can he be famous?" My preliminary suggestion is that Minister Lee should send people to create violent incidents against the Chinese in Sydney and Melbourne in the Australian Commonwealth, Wellington in New Zealand, and Sarawak in Kalimantan, so that the Empire would have an excuse to go to war in these places. Similar incidents should be created in Saigon, Hanoi, Yangon, Bangkok, Singapore and other places, anyway, there are many cases of Chinese people being attacked because of the "Yellow Peril theory" around the world, and it is easier to fish in troubled waters. “

Li Minmin said: "Your Majesty, it is too simple to do these things, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied." “

Lu Weimin asked, "Are you so sure?" Don't show your feet, otherwise public opinion will be unfavorable to the empire. “

Li Minmin said with a smile: "The British political prisoners who were rescued from Port Blair at the beginning, after so many years of training, have been raised with good food and drink, it is time for them to show their talents, if they can't even do this little thing, then there is no need for them to exist; Besides, there have been a lot of spies sent out by the empire over the years, and in major cities in the world, there are basically our branches, and with their support, it is absolutely foolproof, and the chief of the general staff can rest assured. “

Lu Weimin asked, "Your Majesty, how many troops are you going to use this time?" “

Zhang Wei said: "The Australian Military Region has three armies, and the strength is enough to occupy the Australian Commonwealth and New Zealand, and when the time comes, the Southwest Dominion will assist in dispatching a group of mercenaries and navies, and there will be no need to send additional troops;

The Kalimantan Military Region has 3 corps, and there is still a surplus of military forces to occupy the northern region, so there is no need to help them;

On the Burmese side, Zhao Liangong, the governor of southern Xinjiang, was personally in charge, leading the 35th Army, 3 garrison divisions and military heavy artillery brigades, with a total of 125,000 people, enough to occupy the entire Burma;

The cavalry divisions and mercenaries of the 36th Army, as well as 1 garrison division, occupied the Lao region;

In addition to the 39th Army stationed in Haikou, one national defense division and garrison division were left to maintain local law and order, and the remaining troops landed from Haiphong to occupy Hanoi and northern Vietnam, and the Marine Division stationed in Manila was transferred to Haikou and temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the 39th Army;

Four armies were transferred from Shangjing to land from the Malay Peninsula and Saigon respectively, and to occupy the Malay Peninsula, Thailand, Cambodia and southern Vietnam;

The entire campaign was under the direct command of the General Staff, and this was a training exercise for the General Staff, and it must be well organized. “

Lu Weimin hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task." “

Zhang Wei continued: "Since the establishment of the General Staff, I have never fully organized a complete campaign, and I have wronged you as my auxiliary existence; In the future, the empire will have to face the challenges of the whole world, and it will be difficult for me myself to appear on every front at the same time, and it must be under the unified command of the General Staff; Now that all the troops participating in the Imperial War have been reorganized, the logistics are very sufficient, and the enemy is still very weak, it is a very good opportunity for exercise, I hope you will not let me down. “

Lu Weimin was very excited, indeed, as Zhang Wei said, since the establishment of the General Staff, it has always existed as Zhang Wei's think tank, and has never commanded a single operation, whether it is the war against Japan or the war against the United States, Zhang Wei personally participated in the front line, and now he has given the General Staff a chance to exercise, he finally has the opportunity to show his skills, and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the General Staff will definitely be able to command this battle well; However, the railways and highways in the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region have not yet been completely repaired, and it is inconvenient to move from the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region to Burma and Laos to fight, and it is difficult to guarantee logistics. “

Zhang Wei said again: "You have to contact Governor Zhao Liangong on this issue, if it is like what you said, your General Staff must adjust the direction of the army's attack in time; Now the empire has a lot of troops stationed on the island of Java, and the troops of the Sumatra Military District can also be mobilized, you can deploy them according to the actual situation, my opinion is for reference only, after all, winning the war is fundamental, not limited by troops. “

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that Thailand is an independent country, and this time it will also be destroyed?" Lu Weimin asked.

Zhang Wei did not have any psychological barriers to destroy other countries, and said with a smile: "Nepal, Bhutan and other kingdoms, so far away from the empire, are recognized as vassal states of the empire, pay tribute to the empire every year, and also send a prince to the empire to Beijing as a hostage, Thailand is so close to the empire, it doesn't even say anything, thinking that with the protection of Britain and France, the existence of the empire can be ignored?" I was angry about this, and the consequences were severe; Besides, the current Thai royal family is not orthodox, it has seized the imperial power of the Zheng family, and it has not been canonized, it is illegal, and it must be eliminated to set an example. ”

Lu Weimin asked: "Your Majesty, will you continue to attack India after the Burma campaign is over?" “

"Don't march into India for the time being, India is the treasure of the British, if he occupies India, he will have to fight desperately with the empire, and now is not the time for a decisive battle with the British; As long as troops were sent to defend the pass of Dongge Mountain, the British army would lose the way to attack the empire, and at the same time cut off the escape route of the British and French troops in the east, so they could only surrender to the empire; We have only bullied Britain in recent years, occupying the Dominion of Canada, the Dominion of Newfoundland, and then the Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand, Burma and the Straits Settlements, and there are not many British colonies left, and India and South Africa are better; The next step is to start repairing Russia and France, the colonies and territories of these two countries are not small, and we can't always recognize the British efforts. Zhang Wei explained.

Zhang Wei's words caused the people in the conference room to burst into laughter, and the loss of these colonies had reduced the British colonies by half.

Li Zhaoshui asked: "Your Majesty, have we occupied all the islands in the Pacific Ocean, and wiped out all the forces of Britain, Germany, France, etc., and the Pacific Ocean will be the back garden of the empire in the future. “

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "What's the hurry, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, you can't choke; As long as it occupies Burma and controls Singapore, the empire will be able to attack and retreat in the future; Every territory occupied by the empire must be carefully digested, for example, Myanmar is rich in rice and oil, we must develop it well and use it for the empire, and after occupying Thailand, we must also build it into the empire's grain base, so that the empire will become stronger and stronger; As for the small islands you mentioned, whether they can survive depends on the face of the empire, otherwise, they won't even be able to eat, so your worries are unnecessary. “

Lu Weimin asked: "Your Majesty, after the war, there will be no external threat to the Southern Xinjiang Special Administrative Region, will it be returned to the Chinese Empire?" “

Zhang Wei said: "Not for the time being, Nepal, Bhutan and other vassal countries are still under the threat of the British army, we have no other road to connect with it, we can only aid it through Tibet, and we have to return the Southern Xinjiang Special Region, what if there is a war there?" It would be better to wait until we have occupied the Gangetic plain and the plains of India and then return them; Besides, there are still many people waiting to emigrate in the Southern Xinjiang Special Zone, which is just used to fill the population gap in the newly occupied areas, and to return what will affect the speed of migration. “

Everyone nodded unanimously, agreeing with Zhang Wei's words, only by immigrating to the newly occupied areas, and the Chinese are dominant, can they permanently occupy it and become the territory of the empire, and these immigrants can stabilize and strengthen the strength of the empire, and the empire will continue to grow at a snowballing speed; The reason why Western countries practice colonization is because their population is too small, there is no way to carry out large-scale immigration, there is no way to achieve de facto occupation, and when they are forced to do so, they can only use the way of local people to rule the local people, which is a very unstable rule.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to ask, Zhang Wei continued: "The General Staff must come up with a detailed battle plan as soon as possible, and we must send troops as soon as possible; In this war, the aircraft can only be used as reconnaissance aircraft, and are not allowed to participate in actual combat, and I do not want to attract the attention of other countries to the aircraft; At the same time, the indigenous mercenaries will no longer be recruited in the future, their combat effectiveness is too poor, they are really not suitable for battlefield combat, and they are not even qualified to do artillery fire. “

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will consider the use of aircraft when we plan our war." Lu Weimin replied.

Zhang Wei ordered Li civilian: "After the meeting is dismissed, Minister Li should act quickly, don't delay, your task is very critical; The spies arranged by the empire should not be exposed, they will still be useful in the future, which is very important to the empire. “

Li replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! I will make careful arrangements, and after the war, I will let these spies find opportunities to return to Britain and France and other countries, as one of the Reich's spies in Britain and France, and make greater contributions to the Reich. (To be continued.) )
