The third group to be summoned were three Japanese brigade commanders.

Zhang Wei read the resumes of these three people in advance and was very satisfied with them.

Of the three brigades, two are from New Island Province and one is from Ezo Province, and their families are still living in New Island and Ezo Provinces, but now their families have no worries about food and clothing.

The age of these three brigade commanders are all in their 50s, they have participated in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and they are the official to Dazuo, because of their age, they were transferred to the reserve after the Russo-Japanese War, and later these two places were occupied by the Xia Empire, and they were forced by life to join the mercenaries of the Xia Empire.

Now all three of them can understand Mandarin, and they are all fluent in Mandarin.

After the three people came in, Feng Guohua introduced them.

First of all, Zhang Wei highly praised their bravery in the war against Canada and their fruitful results, and the empire recognized their command skills very much.

Zhang Wei's words made the three brigade commanders feel very embarrassed, and they immediately expressed their loyalty: "Your Majesty, we are recruited by the empire, absolutely obey orders and obey commands, we will fight wherever the empire directs, this is our mission." ”

Zhang Wei looked at them approvingly, and suddenly said, "Now I announce!" ”

When the three brigade commanders heard this, they immediately got up, their legs together and their arms deep, ready to receive orders.

Zhang Wei continued: "The 1st, 3rd and 5th Brigades of the Lu mercenary army, because of their bravery, excellent command, and loyalty to the empire, are specially given the title of first-class barons of the empire to the three brigade commanders, and the deputy brigade commanders and chiefs of staff of the three brigades are all given the title of third-class barons of the empire, from now on, 12 imperial warriors and their families can immigrate to the country of Lu and enjoy the treatment of imperial citizens, and the empire will give them houses and land. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The three brigade commanders immediately replied with red faces, and their voices were a little choked up because of their excitement.

Zhang Wei ordered again: "In the future, the three brigades will be transferred to the Southern Theater and placed under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Bai Yuqing, and will fight with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the Southern Theater respectively. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" This made the three brigade commanders very happy, and they had another opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Zhang Wei exchanged three baronesial medals from the system, handed them to Feng Guohua, and motioned for him to wear them for the three Japanese.

Feng Guohua stood up, took the medal, walked to the three Japanese, dressed them in turn, and said to the three people: "Congratulations! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Excellency! The three Japanese brigade commanders hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhang Wei continued: "I will ask General Bai to knight the other 9 warriors for me, and after I go back, I will manage the troops well and wait patiently, and then the empire will take all your family members to the Lu country, as long as you fight bravely for the empire, the empire will not forget your merits." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" In the hearts of the 3 Japanese brigade commanders, they are very grateful to the Xia Empire, giving them the opportunity to command the troops to fight again, you must know that they have been in the army since they were children, and they can't do anything other than wars, and their income has plummeted after turning into reserves, resulting in family hardship, wives and children are cold and hungry, and they will become nobles of the empire in the future, and all their families will immigrate to Lu and enjoy the treatment of the empire, which can be said to be worry-free for a lifetime.

To be able to accept the knighthood from His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire is the most glorious moment of their lives, they used to pay their youth for the Great Japanese Empire, fought so many hard battles, and finally were transferred to the reserves, the gap between the front and back is too big, so that they are determined to fight for the Great Xia Empire for the rest of their lives, and live up to the honor of the nobility.

After the three Japanese brigade commanders withdrew, Zhang Wei said to Bai Yuqing: "Chief of Staff Bai, so that the Southern Theater has jurisdiction over 3 armies, each army has 1 division of the Praetorian Guard, 2 divisions of the National Defense Army, 1 cavalry division, and a brigade of Japanese mercenaries, each army has 72,000 people, and there are 2 garrison armies, each army has 54,000 people, the 3rd Cavalry Division directly under the jurisdiction of the theater, 1 heavy artillery brigade of 5,000 people, and 1 baggage regiment of 3,500 people, and there are also 4 air bases, 4 airships and 25 aircraft, The naval fleet will be matched later, and now it will be coordinated by the Atlantic Fleet of the Republic of China, and you will be asked to occupy Mexico and the whole of Central America, including Panama and all the areas north of Panama, what do you think are the difficulties? ”

Bai Yuqing felt that this force was very strong, and there was absolutely no problem with only dealing with the natives, so he promised: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no difficulty, and I promise to complete the task." ”

Zhang Wei asked again: "What tactics are you going to use?" ”

Bai Yuqing has been studying the Mexican issue for the past few months, and immediately replied: "I am ready to take a step-by-step and step-by-step strategy; Mexico has a total population of more than 13 million, most of which are distributed in the three major cities of Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey in the center, and the rest of the population is relatively small. “

"And what are you going to do with Mexico's population?"

Bai Yuqing said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the population issue should still be treated differently; The Indo-European mestizo is 90 per cent white, the Indians 10 per cent, and a very small number of black mulattoes; My opinion is to keep the Indians in captivity as our constant labor; Blacks and mulattoes were all arrested and sent to the mines for life forced labor; Indo-European people and whites were allowed to leave on their own, and those who did not leave were to be taken up by the strongest men for a lifetime of labor reform, mainly responsible for the construction of houses, railways, roads, docks, and other infrastructure; For beautiful unmarried young women, it is still the old practice to gather together for training, and those who are qualified are married to soldiers as wives, and the remaining old people, women, and children are allowed to migrate south to Colombia, where they are left to fend for themselves. ”

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "After the Spanish-American War, it is difficult to say how many Mexicans are left, but it must be that there are heavy casualties, and the remaining old people, children, etc. will find a way to secretly execute, and put the responsibility on the Americans, otherwise if they are allowed to move south, it will have a bad international impact on the empire, and it will not be conducive to the empire's occupation of other regions in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, all the remaining secret executions! Put the blame on the Americans. ”

Zhang Wei asked again: "Then where are the remaining 2 armies and heavy artillery brigades waiting for you?" Where is the airbase? ”

Bai Yuqing replied: "Your Majesty, the First Army is now stationed in Tucson, Arizona, the Second Army and the Third Army are planned to be located in El Paso and San Antonio, Texas, the headquarters is temporarily located in San Antonio, and the garrison, heavy artillery brigade, and air base are also temporarily located in San Antonio. ”

Zhang Wei arranged: "Okay, then in the next two days, I will put the troops in place first, establish the 2nd Army and the 3rd Army, and the troops under the command will also be placed in San Antonio, and you will also go to San Antonio to establish the headquarters first, and choose a site to establish an air base; By the way, I will sort out the information about the Spanish-American War, and when I return, we will discuss the dispatch of troops. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Feng Guohua asked suspiciously after Zhang Wei was busy: "Your Majesty, how can you give the Japanese a knighthood?" ”

Zhang Wei explained: "In the next step of fighting Britain, France and Russia, these Japanese are the main force, and now they must be given a little sweetness and hope, and then they can fight bravely, and it is really insignificant to pay this point compared to gaining the loyalty of all Japanese mercenaries." “

In the following two days, Zhang Wei deployed the system army to El Paso and San Antonio to establish the San Antonio Air Force Base.

The garrisons and mercenaries were also on their way to their respective stations.

The 3rd Cavalry Division was temporarily stationed in Tucson and did not have to go to San Antonio to converge.

Xiao Xuguang is assembling troops, and after the assembly is completed, the troops will go to Lu by boat.

At this point, the Southern Theater was basically established. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
