As soon as Zhang Wei returned to the Imperial Palace in Shangjing, Lu Weimin of the General Staff and Li Civilian of the Foreign Economic Investigation Bureau came to report that the South American War had begun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was something that had been arranged a long time ago, and Zhang Wei was not much surprised.

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, now that British and French ships are still transporting a large amount of supplies to support Venezuela, has the Empire protested and blockaded the sea surface of the entire West Indies?" ”

"You didn't get the Council to issue a declaration of war on Venezuela, did you?" Zhang Wei asked.

"A declaration of war has been issued, but Venezuela has not yet declared war on the Empire, and they are still taking chances and asking Britain, France and Germany to mediate." Lu Weimin explained.

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "In that case, the coast will be directly blocked, and the relevant ships will be directly sunk or captured, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will issue an ultimatum to the British and French ambassadors." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li civilians reported: "Your Majesty, Peru has put aside its old suspicions with Chile and has joined the six-nation alliance, while the situation in Ecuador is unclear, some people are in favor of surrendering, some are in favor of joining the six-nation alliance, and the intelligence officers ask for instructions on how to deal with it." ”

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "If they surrender, let the intelligence officers promise them a part of their personal interests, such as allowing them to continue to hold the existing property and land, etc., politically, the empire can canonize some middle and low-level titles to them, and if they want to leave South America, the empire will not stop them; This would set an example for the leaders of the rest of South America and reduce the resistance of the empire to conquer all of South America. You can even bribe some of the army commanders to reorganize them into mercenaries and let their officers continue to be treated accordingly; Anyway, your intelligence department has more ways than I do. ”

Li Minmin said with a smile: "There are many ways, but they can only be implemented with the consent of His Majesty." ”

Zhang Wei did not pay much attention to these problems, and he was most concerned about whether the United States would be able to hand over the 13 eastern states on time, so he asked: "Minister Li, what is the trend on the United States?" Will the relocation be completed on time? ”

Li civilians said: "Your Majesty, the United States is now in a mess with the six-nation alliance, but their immigration speed has not been affected, and they have purchased some cargo ships that have been eliminated by Europe to increase the speed of immigration. Now that the five northern states have been handed over to the Eastern Theater of Lu, the other states can be received by the empire on time, even if there is a little left that has not been immigrated, it will not affect the overall situation. ”

Zhang Wei asked again: "Well, what other important information is there?" ”

Li asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, now that a large number of whites in South America have fled to Europe, isn't it even more difficult when there is a war against Europe in the future?" ”

"Hehe, your worries are unfounded, can so much food be produced in the small territory of Europe at the present productive capacity? They won't go hungry to war. “

"Civilians can go hungry, military personnel will not be in this situation, and the needs of military personnel will be met no matter what." Lu Weimin said.

Zhang Wei said: "My purpose is to drive all the whites back to Europe, and then gradually weaken their power, with the strength of the empire, are you still afraid of war?" It is not in the interests of the empire to leave too many white people, and it is time for them to taste the same bitter fruit after hundreds of years of white Europeans have been rampant in the world, inflicting devastating blows and injuries on other races. ”

Lu Weimin asked: "Your Majesty, is the organization of large-scale mercenaries intended to be used in the war against Europe?" “

"Yes, I have this idea, first form some mercenaries in South America to see, they are all white, if they are against the whites, I don't know what their attitude is, so I want to first form a part of the mixed race or white mercenaries in South America to fight against the United States and the 6-nation alliance, if appropriate, and then form a large-scale mercenary army, so that whites and whites mixed race can fight with white Europeans." Zhang Wei explained.

Lu Weimin said with a smile: "Haha, Your Majesty's idea is very novel, I didn't dare to think like this before, it is already very good to be able to form a Japanese mercenary, if the mercenaries in South America can reach the level of Japanese mercenaries, then the empire will make a lot of money." “

"I've been thinking about how to consume white mixed-race groups and white people, this is the method I came up with when Li Minmin reported just now, let's test it first, whether it will work, I'm not sure. How is the war against Venezuela going now? “

Lu Weimin reported: "Your Majesty, the army has set up troops on the border in Guyana and Colombia respectively, and is ready for war, and has not yet entered the territory of the other side for the time being. “

"What's going on in Venezuela?"

Li said: "Your Majesty, the British and French merchants and the white merchants of other countries have mostly withdrawn, and production has been destroyed to a certain extent; Imported equipment of all kinds has been distributed to their servicemen, with about 1 million regular troops and nearly 1 million reservists on standby. “

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wei said: "You don't send the ground army to attack in a hurry, or send airships to bomb the big cities in the country first, and use some incendiary bombs to destroy their materials and property and hit their will to resist; At the same time, the intelligence personnel also need to divide and disintegrate their military and government officials, and it is best to instigate some of the troops to surrender, and with the leading party, the next war will be smoother, otherwise in that jungle-dense and humid area, there will be a lot of non-combat attrition of troops. “

Li civilians said: "Your Majesty's thoughts coincide with the battle plan of the General Staff; I immediately ordered the local intelligence agents to start the operation. “

Zhang Wei instructed: "The General Staff instructed the troops to go down and catch at least 2 million beautiful and healthy unmarried girls in Venezuela. “

Lu Weimin said with a smile: "Your Majesty don't worry, the army has a plan, even the beautiful little girls under the age of 10 can't be spared, it's a big deal that the country will raise them for a few more years, just use this time to train them in Chinese and Chinese life." “

"That's good, are there any difficulties for the troops?"

Lu Weimin said: "Your Majesty, for the time being, there are no other difficulties, that is, I am worried that the naval strength is not enough, first, the strength of the Atlantic Fleet is too weak, and if it is attacked by European countries, the losses will be very heavy; Second, to deal with the navy of the 6-nation alliance, now even the strength of the Pacific Fleet is not enough. “

"Is there any intention to sell the Shang-class battleship?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Your Majesty, the naval attachés of various countries in the empire have already transmitted the parameters of the Shang-class battleship back to China, and there is no news yet."

Zhang Wei said: "Then wait a little longer, as long as the war against Venezuela is over, no matter whether or not the Shang-class battleships can be sold, I will immediately strengthen the fleet strength of the Imperial Navy, at least so that each fleet has enough strength to protect itself." If the coalition of six countries in Europe or South America dares to attack the idea of the Imperial Navy, I will equip the Imperial Navy fleet at any time and give a fierce counterattack. Now let's clean up Venezuela and Ecuador. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."
