"Report to the Chief of the General Staff, Li Mengran, commander of the First Division, was ordered to report for duty."

After saluting each other, Lu Weimin said to Li Mengran: "Sit down, I will explain some things to you." “

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff," he said, sitting opposite Lu Weimin.

"You also know that Kalimantan Island is poor in land, sparsely populated, and at the forefront of the war, it is not suitable to build a capital here, and now the young master has asked for the establishment of a state on Java Island, and the General Staff and the Government Council and the departments directly under it must retreat to Java Island, and 3 provinces have been set up on Kalimantan Island according to the topography, Pontianak belongs to West Kalimantan Province, and the provincial government is located in Pontianak. Originally, a provincial military district was set up here, but later, considering that the strength was tight and it was not appropriate to disperse, one division was stationed in each province, and the division commander was fully responsible for the defense of the province, and in addition, one Novik-class destroyer, two S6 and two G5 motorized fast torpedo boats were left to you, which were also under your command. Questions? “

"Guarantee the completion of the mission and defend the province of West Kalimantan."

"I have discussed this with the young master, the young master means that a small number of enemies are eliminated by you, if a large number of enemies come to invade, you must not fight hard with the enemy, and act with personal heroism, you must notify the general staff in time, and at the same time move inland, block the enemy step by step, at least block the enemy for 2 days without being annihilated, the young master can lead the troops here in the fastest time, and strive to surround and annihilate the enemy in the western province. Do you understand the young master's intentions? “

"I understand, just don't fight hard with the enemy, drag the enemy here, and then the young master will copy their back road and annihilate the enemy in the Western Province."

"Okay, just get it. For the local natives, it is necessary to strengthen management, and if there is trouble, regardless of the severity of the situation, let him become points, and the non-ethnic group will have different hearts, so there is no need to show mercy to them, but pay attention to the strategy, it is best to solve it secretly, and do not leave traces. “

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff, the 1st Division has experience in dealing with indigenous people, this is the tradition of our division."

"Okay, so I'm relieved. But the young master is busy, so I won't see you, go, hurry up and hand over, we will evacuate tonight. ”

"Yes, Chief of the General Staff", Li Mengran withdrew after saluting, and then led the troops to handle the handover with the 2nd Division.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, everything was handed over, and Zhang Wei and others waited for the Moltke-class battle cruisers, accompanied by two 1935-style torpedo boats.

Pontianak is more than 700 kilometers from Batavia, about 380 nautical miles, and at a speed of 20 knots, it will take 19 hours to sail, and it is estimated that it will arrive at 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the 5th.

On the warship, everyone had nothing to do, so Zhang Wei called everyone to the command room and began to discuss the issues that were not discussed yesterday, "Everyone has time tonight, so let's discuss the issues that were not finished yesterday." The first question is what city is Dingdu? ”

As soon as Zhang Wei raised this question, almost all the people present agreed with Batavia as the capital, and Zhang Wei consciously did not mention Bandung, since everyone felt that Batavia was good, it would be Batavia.

Li Minmin said: "I have no objection to the capital in Batavia, but this place is not very easy to defend, and Sumatra is across the strait in the west." ”

Lu Weimin said: "Don't worry about this, soon I will send troops to occupy Sumatra, but I can't completely occupy it, at least I have to occupy the southeast, so that there will be a barrier." ”

Li Minmin said: "Young master, Belitung Island is on this route, and I always feel uncomfortable if I don't occupy it, so let's arrange for the navy to occupy this place as soon as possible." ”

"No problem, I am also optimistic about the tin mines on Belitung Island and Bangka Island, if you occupy it, you can make money by mining, so many natives, you have to arrange some work for them, and let the navy and army occupy it, but you have to occupy the eastern part of Sumatra to occupy these two islands, or you can't hold it." Let's not talk about this first, the second question is the national flag, I'll draw it for everyone to see. As he spoke, Zhang Wei began to draw on the paper, and said while drawing: "The name of the national flag is the five-star red flag, and the background color of the national flag is red, among which the largest yellow five-star represents our synthetic people, and the other four small five-star represent the four classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, red represents our country is a country established through war, and red is dyed red with the blood of martyrs." What do you think? ”

Everyone felt that the synth man was put first, and they were all satisfied and gladly accepted.

Zheng Daoping asked: "Young master, we are going to build a country, so how do you set up the government department?" ”

"That's how I think about it, reducing government departments as much as possible and centralizing power to a high degree; In addition, I would like to replace some of the national ministries with large companies, such as the establishment of a transportation company to replace the Ministry of Railways; Establishment of a mining company to replace the Ministry of Mines; the establishment of coal companies and oil companies to replace the Ministry of Energy; the establishment of a telegraph company to replace the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications; Let's set up steel companies, food companies, construction companies, pharmaceutical companies, weapons companies, chemical companies, etc., and we synthetics will not only control the important enterprises of the entire Xinhua Empire, but also become the ones in power to control the world economy. ”

"Young Master, your goal is too ambitious, and the rest of the world will not agree to us doing this."

"Whoever doesn't agree will fight, let's become the maker of the world's rules, they can only passively accept, otherwise they will accept it. Of course, we have to implement the rules we have formulated as much as possible, and we still have to do superficial articles, so from the very beginning, I was ready to establish large enterprises, use the strength of the whole country to support the development of these enterprises, and then participate in international competition. Of course, we are still young and still need to develop slowly, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. As for departments, it is necessary to have a foreign ministry for the time being; The Ministry of Commerce and Finance is responsible for commerce, finance, and taxation, and will be split up later; The Ministry of Education must also have; The Ministry of Civil Affairs should be set up, and all matters related to the people's livelihood should be set up in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then a Ministry of Development and Reform should be set up to be responsible for development and reform, and it should be responsible for matters related to industry, mining, agriculture, water conservancy, electric power, transportation, energy, and so on. As for the rest of the departments, you can do it. Zhang Wei thought of the small state/council/institute in his previous life, and also set up such a department in order to save trouble.

"Then young master, when are we going to announce it?"

"Now that the blockade of Pontianak and other places has been lifted, it won't take 2 days for the whole world to know, so let's just do it, and when we return to Batavia, you can prepare for this matter, and directly announce the establishment of the Lanfang Kingdom."

"Yes," the crowd replied excitedly.

On the ship, Zhang Wei set the general policy for the future, and now it is how to occupy some more territory, how to make the world accept this Lanfang Kingdom, and how to develop the Lanfang Kingdom.
