Qian Xiangyang, the governor of the West Asian Theater, was very excited, Jiang Baoshan, who had worked with him before, served as the premier of the State Council of Vietnam, Qin Fei served as the governor of the Burma Special Administrative Region, and now he was transferred to the governor of the South Asian Theater.

He made up his mind that he must do his job well and must not live up to His Majesty's expectations of him.

Before General Qian Xiangyang took office, Zhang Wei had a special conversation with him.

Zhang Wei said: "Congratulations, but as the first barrier between the western part of the empire and Europe, the geographical location of the West Asia Theater is very important, and it is also very critical to the future development of the empire. ”

After Qian Xiangyang saluted Zhang Wei, he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, and you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

"Sit down and talk, now let's talk about what you plan to do when you come to West Asia." Zhang Wei said.

Qian Xiangyang sat down on the chair opposite Zhang Wei's desk and began to talk about his plan: "Your Majesty, I plan to place the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Kuwait, where the port facilities are relatively good and convenient for material supply;

An army stationed in Abbas mainly controls the northern shore of the Persian Gulf, occupies the area south of the Zagros Mountains, expels all the local natives into the territory of the Kingdom of Iran, and gradually brings the entire Zagros Mountains under the control of the Empire, opens the passage with Afghanistan, and at the same time assists the navy in building and defending the Abbas military port and holding the Strait of Holms;

An army was stationed in the port of Daman, which mainly controlled the northern part of the West Asian Peninsula and the southern shore of the Persian Gulf all the way to the southern shore of the Gulf of Oman and the northern part of the western shore of the West Asian Sea (formerly the Arabian Sea);

One corps was stationed in Aden, which controlled the northern shore of the Red Sea and the southern part of the western coast of the West Asian Sea;

One army is stationed in Kuwait, mainly controlling Basra and Baghdad in Mosul;

One cavalry division is deployed to patrol the border area on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, and the other two cavalry divisions are the main mobile forces, ready to support several surrounding operations;

The SAR was primarily responsible for stabilizing the region and building infrastructure, such as ports, railways, roads, etc., in preparation for the expansion of the empire's territory in Africa, while occupying all of Somalia and gradually encroaching on Ethiopian territory. ”

Zhang Wei looked at the map, and after a while, he said: "Your plan is not bad, but not only to build the infrastructure of North Africa, but also to build a large amount of infrastructure within the jurisdiction of the entire West Asia Theater, which is the forward position to encircle Europe, build ports everywhere, and at the same time build the railway network to prepare for the future war against Europe; Only by opening the passage with Afghanistan and connecting the railway with the railway in the South Asian theater can you become an organic whole, otherwise you will be alone overseas, and if the sea route cannot be replenished in time, you will be very dangerous; In addition, all local natives must be expelled, especially since not a single native is left along the Persian Gulf coast. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wei continued: "Be prepared for war with the Russian Empire at any time, and after the war between the Empire and the Russian Empire in the future, I plan that the West Asian theater of operations will seize the western part of Iran and the southern part of the Caucasus Mountains of the Russian Empire, occupy the oil fields there, cut off the energy supply of the Russian Empire, and launch an attack on the Russian Empire from there; At that time, the armies of the South Asian Theater and the Western Xinjiang Special Region will enter Central Asia to fight against the Russian Empire, and the Northern Theater will launch an attack from the eastern part of Russia. ”

Qian Xiangyang asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to occupy the entire territory of Iran in advance?" The construction of the railway network to the frontier regions of the Russian Empire in advance will facilitate the future deployment of troops and the transportation of logistical supplies. ”

Zhang Wei explained: "There is no need now, the Russian Empire now controls the northern part of Iran, and the central part is a buffer zone, and you are only responsible for occupying the southern and northern regions of the Zagros Mountains and opening up the passage with Afghanistan, and you can't let the Russian Empire have an excessive reaction for the time being; Now that the territory occupied by the Empire is large enough, it must be stabilized for a while, and the Empire does not want to have another major war until the newly occupied territory is completely stabilized and digested. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, in addition, I am afraid that the British-backed chieftains of the Hejaz, Najd and other chieftains on the West Asian Peninsula will have a confrontation war with the Empire, these wars are not large-scale, but they will be very frequent, if the Empire strikes hard, they will retreat to the territory of the Ottoman Empire on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, if the Empire has fewer troops on the border, they will come to harass them at any time, it will be very annoying." Qian Xiangyang said.

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Even the British regular army is not the opponent of the empire, are you still afraid of the forces they support?" If they dare to resist, they can use the war to consume the Arab population, besides, now that the Arabs have not completed the unification, the strength of each chieftain is not strong, even with the support of the British, it will not be too strong, and it is the best time to destroy them; If they retreat into the confines of the Ottoman Empire and continue to harass the Empire's garrisons, then the Empire will have a reason to start a war against the Ottoman Empire and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, but this will be after you stabilize your existing territory. ”

Zhang Wei also felt that the troops in the West Asian theater were insufficient, and could only guard the most important areas, Qian Xiangyang's arrangement was already very reasonable, only 1 cavalry division was arranged in the border area of the Ottoman Empire, it was difficult to protect the security of the border, but at present, it could not stimulate the Europeans, and it was impossible to arrange heavy troops on the border, and he also hoped that after the external threat of the Xia Empire, the internal contradictions in Europe would intensify, and he hoped that his weakness would be effective.

Even if there are chieftains supported by Britain and France to resist or harass, the scale will not be too intense, and I believe that Qian Xiangyang can deal with it freely; After the construction of the air base, it will be relatively simple to have the air force to carry out patrol missions.

Qian Xiangyang continued to ask: "Your Majesty, drive the Arabs to the Ottoman Empire and the Afghans to Central Asia, so that European countries will continue to support these nations to form armies and wage skirmishes with the empire, and the empire will never be at peace, it is better to rule them on the spot and cut them off from the outside world, which will be a lot less trouble." ”

Zhang Wei explained: "There are many people who will have this kind of thought about you, in fact, you don't understand the horrors of these peoples, they have been confused and brainwashed by religion, they are completely afraid of death, and they are shells that may explode at any time within the territory of the empire, and if these people are expelled to the enemy's territory, they will be a heavy burden on the enemy country, weakening the strength of other countries, and it is good for the empire; In addition, I am not afraid of this kind of open war, I am afraid of the unknown enemy hidden within the empire, and more importantly, I hope that this kind of war will be fought for a hundred years, and all the wealth of other countries will be consumed in the war, and the population of other nations will be consumed in the war, and in the end, the best outcome is only the Chinese in the world; The West Asian theater is very special, I estimate that there will be such small-scale wars every day in the future, and you don't have any scruples, you can arrange for troops to take turns to move forward, and it will be regarded as military training, so that the Europeans still think that the empire is in trouble, so they can relax their hostility and attention to the empire. ”

Zhang Wei knew that the Soviet Union and the United States in the previous life had all suffered heavy losses in the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and no one had the ability to occupy there, so he asked the South Asian Theater to expel all Afghans to the Russian Empire. After filling the territory of the Kingdom of Afghanistan with Indians and squeezing out all the Afghans, it is relatively much easier to deal with the Indians.

For the Arabs, the terrorist attack in his previous life made Zhang Wei feel uneasy now, which was really crazy, so now he ordered that not a single Arab should be left in the territory controlled by the Xia Empire, and even those who have followers of the Yi * Lan * religion will also be monitored.

After the air base is built and the air force can patrol normally, all the forces that have infiltrated the West Asian theater will be under the surveillance of the air force and can easily surround them at any time, and there is no need to worry at all.

"Your Majesty, if you expel all the local natives, and the Chinese probably don't like that kind of desert area, it will be very difficult to settle. I would suggest that some of the indigenous people should be left to do the infrastructure, such as the construction of railways, which would require a lot of labor. ”

Zhang Wei explained: "You don't have to worry about immigration, I don't plan to immigrate to West Asia, after you stabilize there, I will send you 1 million people to go, and a certain number of system people will be arranged to arrive there every year in the future, and only system people in West Asia can obtain citizenship in the future, and only outstanding female Chinese can marry citizens in the West Asia War Zone to obtain citizenship." As for the labor force, there are black people in captivity in the East African Special Administrative Region and the indigenous people of the Papuan Dominion, and as long as your side is stable, the free labor here will arrive one after another. In Zhang Wei's mind, in order to build the bay area into a base for the people of the system, in principle, only the people of the system can obtain the citizenship of the people, and in the future, a separate administrative unit will be set up to serve only him and the people of the system.

Local religious aborigines should dissociate themselves from them as soon as possible, and use free labor to build infrastructure, which will be less expensive; If some of the natives are left, they will definitely drag their families with them, not to mention the high cost, and there will be no less troubles in the future.

Qian Xiangyang continued to ask: "Your Majesty, how to configure the navy and air force?" ”

"The location of the West Asian theater is very important, the empire will attach great importance to the construction of military ports and air bases there, and air bases will be set up in various military ports and important cities, you can rest assured that the specific details also need you to communicate with the Admiralty and the Air Force, they will give the most professional advice, and will send professionals there in time for construction. Still have questions? Zhang Wei asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, not for the time being."

"Okay, you communicate with the General Staff to see what other arrangements the Chief of General Staff Lu has, you must take the troops to take up your post as soon as possible, and I will go to the West Asia Theater to inspect within 3 months, I hope you will not let me down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
