Chapter 435: Establishing the Kingdom of Qin (2)

After Qian Xiangyang came back from sending the telegram, he first looked at the minutes of the meeting in the hands of the staff officers, and learned about the speeches of everyone in the conference room during this time, and felt that it was okay to set up the Government Council in Chittagong, but it was not conducive to defense, so he said: "Your Majesty, the West Asia Theater is huge, facing several enemies, and the troops themselves are not enough to defend such a large territory. Moreover, it is too remote to set up the government council in Chittagong, the northwest side of the Persian Gulf is too far away to be easy to manage, if it is located in Xijing, it is in the center, which is convenient for the management of the provinces, and the security is also guaranteed; Finally, how can there be a shortage of water at the mouth of the two river basins in Xijing? It's enough to build a waterway, and it's not difficult to have so much free labor anyway; If you are afraid of leaking military secrets, the General Staff can be relocated to Dammam, which is also close to the Navy Headquarters.

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while, it turned out that he thought too much, in the previous life, Kuwait was short of water because it was divided into several countries, and Kuwait could only import water from Iraq, but now it is its own territory, and water resources can be reasonably allocated, and there is no shortage of water.

After thinking about the crux of the matter, Zhang Wei said: "Your suggestion is very good, I think too much, the Government Council is still located in Xijing, without the Government Council, Xijing would not be Xijing, and the General Staff does not need to go to Dammam, it is inconvenient to command in Dammam; When the time comes, it will be sufficient to set up trade agencies in Chittagong and Aden ports. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qian Xiangyang replied very happily, and said: "Then let the Governor's Mansion be used by the Government Council, and we will choose another place to work, all of them are soldiers, which is easier to manage." ”

Zhang Wei said: "It's okay, then your General Staff will work directly at the base in the future, it will be more convenient, and build a few buildings in the south, and the navy, army, and air force will all be together, so it will save more trouble." “

Qian Xiangyang replied: "Okay, just follow Your Majesty's instructions." It will take a few more days for the others to arrive, does Your Majesty need to wait for them to arrive? “

"I'll wait for them to come, there are a lot of things to explain, I just took advantage of this time to settle the personnel, and I also want to go to the inland desert area to have a look." Zhang Wei was thinking about how to put a large amount of sand and soil from the desert into the system, and then put the sand into Luzon Province to reclaim the land, conduct experiments first, let scientists evaluate the effect, and then formulate the next action plan according to the effect.

"That's great, the affairs of the founding of the country will be busy with the huge mountain, so I don't have to worry about these miscellaneous things, so what does Your Majesty have to say about the placement of personnel?" Qian Xiangyang asked again.

"I want to put all these 1 million people in the two river basins and the coast of the Persian Gulf, which will be an oil-producing area in the future, and it must be firmly controlled; The families of the armies were placed in port cities and surrounding oases on the shores of the Red and West Asian Seas. “

"Your Majesty's arrangement is very reasonable, and it is conducive to secrecy to put their families in the southern coastal area, but I don't know if their families are willing to come to live in this desert area." Qian Xiangyang said with emotion.

"Haha, if you don't want to come, you won't use it, this should be according to personal wishes, and when the time comes, transfer the relevant officers and soldiers to other troops, and here I will add single officers and soldiers to you, which is very easy to solve." Zhang Wei feels that it is not just right to come, and this place will be rich in the future.

"In that case, it is convenient to deal with; Also, Your Majesty must strengthen the navy here, which is what worries me very much. “

"You haven't even built a naval base, and it's useless to give you a warship now; Wait for the end of the year, when the Central Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, and the Indian Ocean Fleet will be refitted, and then we can send you a batch of battleships and battle cruisers; The Indian Ocean Fleet is close at hand, there is not much danger on your side at sea, and as a buffer zone with Europe, it is impossible to build your military power very strong. “

Qian Xiangyang thought to himself, if the navy is not strengthened, then the army and air force must be strengthened, so he begged Zhang Wei: "Your Majesty, now that the troops are stationed in various places, even the capital does not have many troops to protect, after a while, I am also ready to transfer the 40th Army from Basra to Baghdad, the defense of Xijing is very empty, and the railway and factories will be built soon, and troops will be assigned to supervise and manage these hundreds of thousands of laborers, the strength of the troops is really insufficient, at least add an army to the Qin State, Otherwise, I really can't make it. The Air Force also needs to be strengthened, and now there are only 2 aircraft at each base, and even patrols cannot be arranged. “

"You people, you know that you need soldiers and equipment, don't you know that it costs a lot of money? Now the empire has more troops than any other country, which is really a heavy burden. Zhang Wei was very emotional.

"Your Majesty, it can't be compared like this, the empire is now the largest country in the world, and it will occupy more territory in the future, of course, more officers and soldiers will be needed to defend it, if it is calculated on average, the number of our officers and soldiers is not much."

"What you said is light, not counting the Americas, we just have 42 integrated armies, not counting the mercenaries, garrisons and police forces, and the whole army will have to change its outfits in 2 years, which is a huge expense, and the empire can't make ends meet." Without the help of the system, Zhang Wei would not have been able to raise so many troops and occupy so much territory.

Seeing that Zhang Wei was thinking about it, Qian Xiangyang did not continue to ask questions, and Zhang Liang and the others were also looking at Zhang Wei, expecting him to add 1 army to the Qin State and strengthen the Qin State's air force.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei felt that it was still necessary to add an army, and there was no room for loss here, and in the future, this would be the forward position against Russia and other European countries, and it would not be too much to increase the strength of one army, so he said: "Okay, then add one more army to you, and add two seaplanes to each air base for the air force, but we must do a good job of secrecy measures." “

This made all the officers in the conference room very happy, and if the military strength of the Qin State was increased, then they would not have to be so nervous when they took on combat missions in the future.

Qian Xiangyang immediately said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the secrecy measures of the Qin State are best done, outsiders are not allowed here, there are no natives, all are their own people." ”

Zhang Wei also said: "In addition, I suggest that the military headquarters of the 18th Army be located in the port of Jeddah, and it is enough to arrange one national defense division in the port of Aden, because the distance from the port of Aden to Djibouti is too close, and the army is too dense. In addition, the railway from Dammam to Jeddah Port will be built soon, so it will be very convenient for each other to support each other in the future. The headquarters of the 40th Army is still stationed in Basra, and the 43rd Army is stationed in Baghdad. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this arrangement can save the trouble of troop transfer, the 40th Army does not need to re-familiarize itself with the environment, the arrangement of the 18th Army is also very good, what is the matter in the port of Aden, the North African Special Zone is so close, and it can also support each other." Qian Xiangyang immediately agreed to Zhang Wei's arrangement, as long as he gave it to the army, he would be satisfied, and each air base would add two planes to meet the patrol requirements for the time being.

"Then let's do this today, I'm tired, let's get some sleep first. I'll talk about that tomorrow. “

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's all arranged, please come with me."
