After successfully signing agreements with various countries, Zhang Wei felt that the territory expansion was too great, and he had to develop steadily for a period of time, properly deal with the indigenous people in various places, increase immigration from various places, and stabilize the newly occupied areas.

British India is now under the siege of the Xia Empire, and it is relatively poor in land, coupled with a large population, after experiencing the destruction of war, it is difficult to develop in a short period of time, as long as the surveillance there is strengthened, there is no fear of all kinds of small actions of the British there.

Zhang Wei valued the Persian Gulf region the most, which was the source of ensuring the continued strength of the Xia Empire for the next hundred years, so Zhang Wei decided to focus on stabilizing the Persian Gulf region.

In this regard, Zhang Wei held a special meeting.

Zhang Wei first spoke at the meeting: "In this war against Britain and France, the empire occupied too much territory, and the speed of immigration could not keep up, and it was difficult for the empire to digest these occupied areas in a short period of time, so I think the empire can suspend foreign expeditions for a period of time, and first stabilize the existing occupied areas before making plans." ”

Prime Minister Chung Do-woo said: "Your Majesty's decision is very correct, if there is no external pressure from the Xia Empire, the internal contradictions in Europe will erupt, which is very beneficial to the Empire." ”

Zhang Wei said: "This is also one of the purposes, the important thing is that the empire has expanded rapidly in recent years, and it looks very strong on the outside, and all places rely on strong force to maintain the management of the natives, and the internal management is actually very weak, I want to take this opportunity to consolidate the foundation of the empire and lay the foundation for the next rapid development." ”

Lu Weimin said: "Now the military forces in various places can only maintain order, and the power of foreign conquest is not as strong as when the empire was first established, and the more territory is occupied, the more dispersed the forces are, which is very unfavorable to the development of the empire, and the troops should be reorganized by taking this opportunity." ”

Li Zhaoshui said: "Your Majesty, the navy has done a good job in this regard, the Central Fleet, the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet have become the three major naval backbones of the empire, but the strength of the Atlantic Fleet is too weak. ”

Zhang Wei said: "Take your time, gradually adjust, in the end the empire will only retain the establishment of the four fleets, and all battleships, battle cruisers, cruisers and submarines will all be under the jurisdiction of the four fleets, these things will be talked about later; Now I have decided to establish the African, West and South Asian theaters, to designate Afghanistan and Burma and the newly occupied British Indian region between them as the South Asian theater of operations, and to abolish the Burma Special Administrative Region; The Persian Gulf region was set up as a West Asian theater of operations, from the northern shore of the Red Sea to the area south of the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Iran; The African island of Madagascar, Djibouti, British Somalia and Portuguese East Africa were set up as African theaters. ”

Premier Zheng Daoyou said: "Your Majesty, the Myanmar Special Administrative Region has a relatively high degree of sinicization since ancient times, and the cultural gap between the east and west sides of the Rakhine Mountains is relatively large, and it is blocked by the Rakhine Mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, which is not conducive to unified management, and it belongs to the category of the Indochina Peninsula in terms of geographical location, so I do not recommend that Myanmar be assigned to the South Asian Theater, but to be assigned to the Yue State or under the unified jurisdiction of the Empire." ”

Lu Weimin also felt that after Burma was demarcated, it would be more convenient for the management of the South Asian theater, and the relationship between Myanmar and Vietnam would be closer, and after it was assigned to Vietnam, it would be more convenient for the management of Myanmar, so he said: "Your Majesty, assign Myanmar to Vietnam, Myanmar and Vietnam are more similar to each other, and they are easy to manage and develop together. ”

Zhang Wei asked: "Myanmar is not small, it is relatively stable now, it is very convenient to manage and rule, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east, west and north, which is convenient for defense, why not set up a separate kingdom?" Or is it directly under the jurisdiction of the Empire? ”

Lu Weimin said: "There is a big country in the north, the Chinese Empire, if it is set up separately, the territory of Myanmar and Yue is too small, which is not conducive to the development of the two countries, even if Myanmar is assigned to the Yue State, the area is less than 2 million square kilometers, there is no need to set up separately; It is better to assign it to the jurisdiction of the empire than to the jurisdiction of the Yue State, and the relationship between Myanmar and the Yue State is closer, and it is more conducive to management when put together. ”

Zhang Wei understood Lu Weimin's concerns, so he agreed to put Myanmar under the administration of Vietnam.

Seeing that the Burmese issue had been discussed, Hua Guoqiang interjected: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation in Africa and the relations between the empire and the European countries, I do not propose to immediately set up an African theater of operations, which will stimulate the hostile attitude of the European countries towards the empire. ”

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, Foreign Minister Hua's words are reasonable, and I do not recommend setting up an African theater, the territory is too scattered, which is not conducive to unified management; My view is that the island of Madagascar and Mozambique should be given one or two governors, respectively, under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff; In addition, Djibouti and Somalia were given a separate governor-general to the West Asia Theater of Operations, which would be more beneficial and convenient for the empire to manage. “

Seeing that everyone did not support his opinion, Zhang Wei gave up the idea of setting up an African theater, and the current establishment of an African theater is indeed not conducive to management, and it is not the best time.

Zhang Wei already had a mature idea about the candidates for the governors and governors of the metropolis, so he said: "Well, for the time being, there will be no African theater of operations, and two governors will be set up in Africa, namely the governor of East Africa and the governor of North Africa, the governor of East Africa will still be served by Han Xin, the former governor of Madagascar, and the governor of North Africa will be served by Zhang Liang; The governor of the South Asian Theater was Qin Fei, the former governor of the Burma Special Administrative Region, and the governor of West Asia was Qian Xiangyang, director of the Imperial Colonial Affairs Office. “

Han Xin and Zhang Liang were the first to follow Zhang Wei, so Zhang Wei appointed the two of them as governors this time, giving them the opportunity to expand their territory.

As for Qian Xiangyang, he is an elite-level army staff officer, who has been the director of the Imperial Colonial Affairs Office, assisting Zhang Wei for many years, and should be given the opportunity to be either side.

No one objected to Zhang Wei's appointment.

After that, the meeting discussed the troops stationed in various places.

Lu Weimin's opinion was to station one army in North Africa, two armies in East Africa, four armies in the West Asia theater, and three armies in the South Asian theater.

Now there are only 7 armies in India, and according to Lu Weimin's suggestion, there are still 2 armies, so Zhang Wei asked: "Where will the two armies that are missing be transferred?" “

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, I propose that the peninsula special region of the Chinese Empire be abolished and directly placed under the direct management of the Northern Theater, and the governor of the peninsula special region should be transferred to the West Asia Theater as deputy governor, and the two armies of the peninsula special region should be transferred to North Africa and South Africa respectively. “

Hua Guoqiang said: "Your Majesty, this is not bad, it can reduce the defensive psychology of the Russian Empire and temporarily ease the tension with the Russian Empire. ”

Zhang Wei felt that this was not bad, it could not only ease relations with Russia, but also strengthen relations with the Chinese Empire, so he said: "Okay, the General Staff will issue a transfer order according to what has just been agreed." (To be continued.) )
