The representative of the Northern Theater Command said: "It is very difficult for the Lelang Special Administrative Region to reach more than half of the Chinese, mainly because the local population of North Korea is too large, and there are still close to 20 million, and we must think of reducing the number of these people; Strengthening infrastructure and developing the economy are inseparable from the initial investment of the empire, such as the Lelang Special Administrative Region, which has a large number of coal mines and a large number of iron ores, and it will take huge investment to dig them out and transport them out. ”
Zhang Wei instructed: "It is necessary to reduce the number of Korean people in the Lelang Special Administrative Region, select all the beauties of the Korean nationality, conduct individual training, let them learn the Chinese language, learn the living habits of the Chinese, and then marry them to our soldiers, and after marriage, she can move into Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan, and allocate them land, and treat them as Chinese in the future; The same is true for the local beauties in Ezo Province and Xinzhou Province, and other provinces must refer to this method to deal with it, if we upgrade the system to the imperial level this year, we will need at least 1 million beauties to marry our officers and soldiers, the gap is very large, and all localities must prepare in advance, and the General Staff will also come up with a detailed plan and break down the task to each division. In addition, the empire will increase its investment in the newly occupied areas to help develop the local economy. The garrison and police recruited only Chinese, and the mercenaries only recruited people other than the Chinese and the ruffians, hooligans, bullies, and other misbeers among the Chinese. To strengthen local administration is to capture all those hostile to the empire and use them as free labor for local construction. ”
Lu Weimin continued to elaborate on the plan for 1907: "The supporting industries of the empire will be completed one after another this year, and the basic conditions for vigorously developing the military industry are basically met, so the General Staff has decided to set up a naval equipment department, an army equipment research and development base, and a tank and aircraft research and development center this year; This year, the Navy should achieve the capability of producing torpedo boats, destroyers, and light cruisers, the Army R&D base should attain the capability of producing guns, artillery bullets and shells, and the R&D center should achieve the capability of trial-producing tanks and airplanes. ”
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wei said: "Then directly set up the Army Armament Department and the Navy Armament Department under the General Staff Headquarters, and the Army Armament Department will be responsible for the development of tanks and aircraft. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support, then you will set up a research and design institute and a manufacturing plant under the Ministry of Equipment, and it will be much easier to manage. Since His Majesty supports the development of these areas, the corresponding disciplines should be added to the Army Military Academy to train junior and intermediate commanders; And set up a number of research institutes and naval colleges, the naval academy mainly studies the design of warships, warship armor materials, power system design and manufacturing and other disciplines, artillery systems can be combined with the army's artillery design to build a research institute, to other material mechanics, sealing, rotation, basic mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and other majors can share technology and laboratories with the Imperial Academy of Sciences, I hope that His Majesty will approve. ”
"This suggestion of yours is very good, we must increase the research and manufacturing capacity of the military industry, first of all, we must learn the production and manufacturing of our existing equipment, we must understand the technology thoroughly, and then develop, and then we must achieve a generation of production, research and development, and a generation of technical reserves, so as to ensure that the imperial military technology is leading in the world. In fact, many studies have the same place, such as the engine technology of aircraft and tanks overlaps with many research projects of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and they can learn from each other and share technology. I will give my full support to this plan of the General Staff. ”
Lu Weimin also proposed that the police and the army should be completely separated, and that in the future, the Army Military Academy will no longer recruit cadets from the police force, but will help the Government Affairs Yuan to establish a professional police training college; after all, the police and the army perform different tasks and require completely different skills, and they must be specialized in their professions.
Zhang Wei agreed with this suggestion and transferred all the police to the government council for management, including that in the future, the government will bear the funds of the police alone, and no longer pay from the royal family.
The conference continued to discuss a number of other military issues and internal management issues, and finally the General Staff summarized the plan approved by Zhang Wei for implementation, which mainly included the following contents:
