Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, there are three issues to consider in advance.

First, Japan and Britain have the "Japan-Britain Alliance Treaty", which is a lackey of Britain's policy of balancing the continent, and will not watch us eliminate Japan; The United States and Japan are competing for control of the Pacific Ocean, and Japan opposes the implementation of the United States' open door policy in the northeast, causing contradictions between the United States and Japan, it is obvious that they do not want to destroy Japan and then a more powerful Lanfang Kingdom will threaten their interests, the United States just hopes that we will fight with Japan to lose both, otherwise they will not support us in a war with the Japanese, and buy our battleships and battlecruisers to weaken our strength, they will not watch Japan be destroyed, Of course, the United States did not want the Lanfang Kingdom to be destroyed by Japan; Therefore, if we don't want to be an enemy of the world this time, we will bite off a piece of meat from Japan and obtain practical benefits that is the focus of this war against Japan.

The second question is that now Japan is only the suzerainty of Korea, and Korea still has its own army and its own imperial court. This is a big problem, if the food is not good, it will affect us to occupy other places in the future.

The third issue is that I want to restore the Ryukyu royal family, or at least to free the former members of the Ryukyu royal family from Japan. ”

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "It is not bad to be able to obtain benefits from Japan, at least the rights and interests of Taiwan Island, the Ryukyu Islands, and Northeast China should be recovered, and the indemnity of the "Xinchou Treaty" should be canceled. Then divide the Korean Peninsula into our colony, let Japan compensate us for the huge amount of compensation, calculate, how much compensation Japan received from the Qing Dynasty, we don't want more, it will be 3 times, so many years, but the interest is not a small amount, it is really cheap for him; In addition, transfer Hokkaido, all the islands in northern Japan, and the southern part of Sakhalin Island to us, and establish Ezo Province, which will be a good place to block the Russian Navy in the future; After the Ryukyu royal family was rescued, let him live in Shangjing or live in the Qing Dynasty, and he could continue to live in Ryukyu, which is all a small thing, I remember that the Ryukyu royal family has no heir, so what to do depends on the meaning of the Ryukyu king; What do you think about the Joseon royal family? ”

Lu Weimin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it is best to cede Jiuzhou to us, so that their huge population can be crowded into this state, even if they starve to death, it will be difficult for Japan to develop in the future; As for the Joseon royal family, my opinion is to quietly kill it, and if anyone dares to resist the uprising, they will resolutely crack down, and they are worried that there is no excuse to kill people, and then implement a policy of division. ”

Zhang Wei said: "Japan has such a little territory, and it is too difficult to cut Hokkaido and Kyushu, and then it will be determined according to the situation; Transfer all the mercenaries to North Korea, let the natives of Nanyang and the Koreans fight, but kill the Korean royal family, does this taste good? ”

Lu Weimin said: "Of course, there are still a lot of superficial articles, how to say that they are also members of the royal family, if they are killed openly, then all other royal countries will have opinions on us, or take other means to kill him, for example, let people pretend to be Japanese, after the defeat of the war, they will sprinkle their anger on the Korean royal family, kill all the members of the Korean royal family, and then push the matter to the Japanese, we will save trouble, and we can also use the banner of revenge for the Korean royal family, killing multiple birds with one stone." ”

Li Civilians came to the spirit at this time: "Your Majesty, if you want to deal with the North Koreans, or my way is the most, North Korea has a population of more than 20 million, it is impossible to kill them all, let them report each other first, who is the "traitor", who is the lackey of the Japanese, reward the whistleblower with 300 catties of rice, regardless of whether the other party's report is correct or not, anyway, the whole family of the reported person will be arrested first, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be distributed to the Dominion, and the young and strong will go to open mines; Reducing the grain planting area of the DPRK, increasing mining and infrastructure construction, etc., and requisitioning a large number of young and strong; Chinese-speaking mercenaries were sent to Nanyang along with their families; Only Chinese schools are opened, and all land that does not speak Chinese is collected; Move all Koreans north of the Han River, etc. There are many ways to do this, so think about it slowly. ”

Zhang Wei let go of this question and continued to ask: "Minister Li, how is the strength of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet?" I want to dispatch 9 Lanfang-class battleships and 9 Lanfang-class battlecruisers, plus submarines, destroyers, torpedo boats, etc., do you feel that you can defeat the Japanese Navy? “

After hearing this, Li Zhaoshui burst out laughing.

"Seriously, this is a military meeting." Zhang Wei reprimanded.

Li Minmin glanced at Li Zhaoshui and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese Navy has 250,000 tons in terms of tonnage, and if you look at the combat strength, you can win without dispatching battleships, plus Your Majesty also plans to sneak attack, it is easier than bullying children, and you can definitely win the war, and now you should consider how to completely annihilate the Japanese fleet." “

Li Zhaoshui took over and said: "We can't compare them like this, the Japanese have a large number of warships, in addition to a few battleships and cruisers, there are also ironclad ships, destroyers, torpedo boats, and so on. “

Zhang Wei said: "Then sink all the troop carriers, and run a few destroyers and torpedo boats, as long as you don't let the battleships, ironclads and cruisers run away." Zhang Wei thought to himself, the lion fights the rabbit and still has to do his best, why not use this ability, he must take advantage of this naval battle, with a strong navy, to wipe out the main fleet of Japan, blockade Japan for half a year, so that they can't even eat, starve to death this group of Japanese, and fight this naval battle, but also to advertise for battleships and battlecruisers

Lu Weimin asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts on the distribution of troops?" ”

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "On the island of Taiwan, I want to use 3 divisions and 60,000 troops to crush the Japanese army with absolute superiority; On the Korean Peninsula, with 6 divisions of 120,000 troops, absolutely control the Korean Peninsula, and later send 10 regiments of 30,000 mercenaries and 5 divisions of 65,000 militia to replace the regular divisions of 5 divisions; In the northeast, either not send, if you want to send at least 3 divisions. How does the chief of staff feel? ”

"Your Majesty, we can't expose so many troops in this war, at most 5 divisions and thousands of cavalry, plus some mercenaries, I will negotiate with Li Zhaoshui on this."

"Okay, you just have to plan well, but before you go, a lot of things need to be done quickly; I will take some of the officers and men of the battleships and battlecruisers of the Navy, and now the Navy orders them to assemble; The Army transferred the 2nd Division to Shangjing; The Ministry of Intelligence has recently cleaned up the Japanese in the kingdom, and Japanese spies are pervasive; Clean up the natives of Java; If there is anything else within the purview of this department, dare to do it quickly, don't delay when the time comes. After the Navy returns, we will sum up the deployment of the newly purchased destroyers and submarines, and I will send you to the Western Military Port tomorrow night. ”
