After the agreement was signed, President Roosevelt ordered Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks and former Secretary of State Elihue Rutter to lead 50 senators and 100 representatives each to the port of Havana to take up their posts as interim governors.

The remaining 245 members of the House of Representatives were assigned to the Secretary of the Treasury George B. Kotliu, and a material handover committee was set up to count the review of materials needed by the United States, communication with the Xia Empire, and material handover.

In addition, President Roosevelt set up a special oversight committee and appointed his nephew, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, as the head of the committee, and the members were well-known lawyers in the National Bar Association, which was also to help his nephew achieve political success and gain fame.

Now is wartime, it is the time of life and death for the United States, the House of Representatives and the Senate have already existed in name only, have not been explicitly dissolved, but have nothing to do, and all military and political orders are issued directly after consultation between the president and the cabinet.

On the Xia Empire's side, Feng Guohua's General Staff directly manages all material handover matters with the United States, and Premier Song Shijie is responsible for the preparation of the required materials.

According to Zhang Wei's idea, all the old ships and coal-powered ships of the empire were eliminated and sold to the United States, and as for the rifles, they were the Mauser 1888 commission rifles that were originally eliminated by the Xia Empire, and the grain and artillery were directly purchased from the system and stored in Houston, Texas, where they could be loaded and delivered to the United States at any time.

The rest of the coal and oil supplies are provided by Houston and Birmingham, respectively.

Needed canned food and other food were transported from the provinces of the empire to Los Angeles or San Francisco, and then transported by train to the eastern ports.

The remaining supplies needed by the United States were first prepared from the state of Lu, and the insufficient things were replenished from the empire.

All the funds required were provided by Zhang Wei.

In early July, after arranging all the affairs, Zhang Wei felt that the time to come out this time was not short, and he was ready to return to the empire to go to Beijing.

After the farewell banquet on the eve of departure, at Zhang Wei's residence, Feng Guohua asked, "Your Majesty, when will the military operation against South America be launched?" At present, all countries in the world generally regard South America as a wild land, and the military strength of South American countries is also the weakest, so we must not miss the opportunity. ā€œ

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said: "Originally, I didn't plan to announce it now, since you asked, I will reveal a little bit to you first, after the handover of Central America and Colombia on July 31 next year, the South American Command will be established immediately, and then the military operation against South America will begin; In addition, I plan to readjust the existing military regions of the Lu State, reorganize the troops, and set up the Western Theater for the entire Lu State, which now governs 10 prefectures, and the troops under its jurisdiction will be reorganized into one army, and the remaining troops will be transferred. Merge the Eastern Theater and the Northeast Theater into the Northern Theater; Integrate the Southern Theater and the Southeastern Theater into the Southern Theater; The existing 13 states of the United States were merged into 6 states after the handover and set up as the Eastern Theater; With the addition of the Central Theater under your direct jurisdiction, there are 5 theaters in total, and each theater has 1 army under its jurisdiction; The Praetorian Guard and cavalry divisions in Zhongjing and Los Angeles were reorganized into two corps; Among them, the army that is now reorganized in the Northeast Theater has been transferred to the Eastern Theater; In the future, the Southeast Theater and the three armies reorganized by Zhongjing and Los Angeles will all be transferred abroad; Each general staff and two municipalities directly under the central government will each have one national defense division as a mobile force, and each theater will also have a heavy artillery brigade under its jurisdiction, and the remaining national defense divisions, garrisons, and mercenaries will also be transferred out. ć€ć€‘ā€œ

Feng Guohua not only gasped, but in this case, there was less than a third of the Lu army, and he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, Lu is in an important link in the encirclement of Europe, these troops are not enough, right?" Also, where will the transferred troops go? ā€œ

Zhang Wei said: "Before July next year, all the armies will be integrated into two commands in North America and South America, Qi State, Lu State and the Southern Theater will be unified into the North American Command, and all the troops transferred will be transferred to the South American Command, with Chen Yifeng as the commander in chief of the South American Command. There are a lot of garrisons in the whole of North America, plus the cooperation of various air bases and the navy, it is a million soldiers from Europe, can you resist it? ā€œ

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that the strength of the navy is too poor, and my confidence is insufficient." Feng Guohua explained.

Zhang Wei said: "Our navy is equipped with high-speed warships, enemy battleships and battlecruisers cannot catch up, and those who can catch up are not the opponents of our warships, and the role is to break the war, if the European countries really dare to send troops, just submarines and airships can send their troops to the sea to feed the fish, your worries are superfluous, you have time to study the navy more, the future war must be the close cooperation of the sea, land and air forces, otherwise you will fall behind." ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty! You won't be disappointed. Feng Guohua said, Zhang Wei's words reassured Feng Guohua, the Southern Theater will also be under the jurisdiction of the North American Command in the future, and the total number of troops is quite a lot, it depends on how to use it.

Zhang Wei continued: "It will take another year to completely occupy the territory from Colombia to Mexico, and the efficiency of the Americans is too slow, you can't relax, you can accept the land in stages, and after receiving it, you must clean up the place in time, and after receiving a piece of land, you must operate it into a stable rear, and the infrastructure such as railways and highways must keep up." ā€

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty! Every time you occupy a piece of land, it will be the territory of the empire and the home of the Chinese people! The same treatment mode as Lu and Qi. Feng Guohua assured.

Zhang Wei was very relieved about this, the officers and administrators at all levels were very clear about the requirements of the empire, and a convention had been formed, the land belonged to the empire, and foreigners either moved away or could only be slaves, unless they were particularly excellent, the empire would issue green cards, and they only had the right to live temporarily.

In mid-July, Zhang Wei returned to Beijing.

Now the weather in Shangjing is very comfortable, neither hot nor cold, it rains from time to time, and the air is very fresh.

On the first day, Zhang Wei informed that a cabinet meeting would be held tomorrow; Today I will only accompany my family and let everyone not come to disturb him.

Back at the palace, Zhang Wei first went to visit the queen and Zhengzheng, the child is 9 months old, he can already climb, chubby and very cute; Xiao Yuer is also 4 months pregnant, and it does not affect her movements.

The child didn't recognize life at all, Zhang Wei hugged him and made him laugh; Just after hugging for a while, the child couldn't bear to be upset and began to crawl on the bed again.

chatted with Xiao Yu'er for a while, and learned that nothing major had happened in the empire, and Xiao Yu'er managed the palace in an orderly manner, which made Zhang Wei very relieved.

I ate with the queen for lunch, and after the meal, I went to visit the two children, Hao Hao and Yangyang, who are now more than 4 months old and can sit up; The body is very healthy, the development is very good, and the growth is very fast, Zhang Wei estimates that it has a lot to do with genes.

Princess Anna is now very satisfied, she is 4 months pregnant, and under the care of everyone, she does not think about other problems at all, and hopes to give birth to a healthy boy.

Although Zhang Wei didn't like the Japanese, he finally went to visit the house and the two concubines Yunzi, and now they are gradually adapting to the Chinese clothing and Chinese eating habits, because they are not pregnant yet, they are very envious of Anna; Congzi went to school on time according to Zhang Wei's requirements.
