After the founding of the State of Qi, Zhang Wei and Chief of General Staff Chen Yifeng went to Calgary, put the 20th Army and the 21st Army in Calgary, and released a heavy artillery brigade and a national defense division ready to be reorganized into a police force.

In accordance with Chen Yifeng's requirements, the heavy artillery brigade was set up with 3 artillery regiments, 1 105mm howitzer regiment, and 2 155mm heavy howitzer regiments, and the selected models were all French Schneider 1919 type, and each regiment was 54 guns, which were dragged by mules and horses.

It seems that it is necessary to equip Lu with 2 heavy artillery brigades, otherwise it is better to be prepared if you are caught off guard when you fight against the United States or Mexico in the future. Of course, if there is no heavy artillery, the danger is not very great, and there are planes and airships, and it is completely possible to send airships to bombard the opponent's artillery positions under the escort of aircraft, but in that case, it always feels that there is no shock and deterrence from heavy artillery.

Then, there was a request for troops to build an air base in the suburbs of Calgary, leaving 10 planes and 1 airship, which could finally ensure that Qi had enough offensive capabilities.

After the army's work is completed, 50,000 married civilians will be gradually released, and they will be placed in towns along the railway line.

After that, Calgary will be a military center and material distribution center of the Qi country, and its role will be even more important after the construction of the rail line with Montana.

In his spare time, Zhang Wei has been thinking about whether the next step is to start a war with Russia and recover the Far East, or to recover the Indochina Peninsula and choose to go to war with Britain and France?

Whether it was a war with Britain and France or a war with Russia, it was the Germans who were cheaper in the end.

The war with the Russian Empire and the recovery of the Far East, but now that Yuan Shikai's government has just been established, his attitude towards the empire is still unclear, and after the recovery in his heart, there will be no pressure on the Chinese Empire, and it is not conducive to dealing with the relationship between the Xia Empire and the Chinese Empire.

It seems that it is better to recover Indochina first to ensure that there are no worries when fighting abroad in the future; At the same time, by the way, you can destroy all Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc., and eat the meat in your stomach first.

As for the cheap Germans, see how you can get some benefits from the Germans? You can't let the Germans keep making money in vain. As for the benefits to be taken from the Germans, at the moment it is nothing more than interest-free loans or low-interest commercial loans, which can be discussed between the Foreign Office and the Germans.

As for the war with Britain and France, it can be arranged in the second half of the year, and in the first half of the year, it is better to occupy Mexico first, Mexico is not small, the population is large, and it will take a long time to digest after the occupation.

With the big policy, then the plan on the side of Qi will be easy to do, is it to destroy Canada at once or occupy most of Canada's territory first, and then find an opportunity to eliminate him?

Zhang Wei felt that it was very difficult to destroy the country at one time, mainly because it was difficult to settle so many white people, so it was better to take two steps to drive all the Canadians to the eastern coastal areas, and wait for their personnel to move almost completely, and then wipe out Canada in one go.

Zhang Wei thought to himself that if Canada was gradually occupied, for example, by occupying one province every two months, and gradually spreading the war to the east, then the Canadians who were afraid of war would soon flee to the United States or Europe, and the decrease in population would be very conducive to the rule after occupying those areas.

Zhang Wei told Chen Yifeng his idea and asked him to see if it was feasible.

After listening to Zhang Wei's analysis, Chen Yifeng immediately shook his head against Zhang Wei's method, and suggested: "Your Majesty, our advantage is to fight blitzkrieg and sneak attack warfare, advance quickly, and not give the enemy time to prepare for blocking and counterattacking at all, let alone give them time to mobilize. And from west to east, the front is very long, and Canada's strategic depth is enough that they have enough time to mobilize, or seek outside help, which I don't agree with. ”

Zhang Wei said angrily: "Then what do you want?" “

"If Your Majesty wishes to take two steps, then the first step is to occupy the three eastern provinces, even the capital, so that the Canadians do not move? Therefore, His Majesty does not have to think about the population problem, if he does not drive them away when the time comes, they will run more urgently than rabbits. Chen Yifeng explained.

Zhang Wei thought to himself that maybe he cared too much about the population to make such an obvious mistake in the strategic arrangement.

Chen Yifeng continued: "Your Majesty, after occupying Ontario, you can reduce the border garrison of Lu, save them the strength to defend against Canada, and you can go all out to deal with the Americans, for example, Fort Detroit has always been in the hands of the Canadians, and it is always a very big threat to the city of Detroit. “

Zhang Wei still felt unsafe, so he sent his ideas to Lu Weimin and Feng Guohua respectively, and asked them to help him get his ideas.

Soon after, Lu Weimin replied with a telegram in which he agreed with Zhang Wei's idea of occupying Indochina and Australia, New Zealand, and Canada first, and then going to war with Russia; At the same time, he wanted to bring the war against Canada forward before the occupation of Mexico, because the United States would not occupy Mexico anytime soon; Moreover, the occupation of Ontario, Canada and the western part of the country, which can liberate at least 100,000 officers and soldiers of the country to defend Canada, is very calculating, and it is advisable to act as soon as possible.

At the same time, Lu Weimin also suggested that if there are too many war arrangements this year and the time is not easy to stagger in the end, the final choice can be to launch a war to occupy Indochina during the Christmas period, then the war against Britain can be placed next year, and the war against Russia can be placed the year after.

Zhang Wei felt that Lu Weimin's analysis was more comprehensive than his own thoughts, and he advanced the war against Canada before the occupation of Mexico, so as to avoid the embarrassment of fighting on two fronts.

Feng Guohua telegraphed back that he was very supportive of Qi to occupy Ontario and the territory to the west, and after the war was launched, Lu could help Qi to launch an attack on Canada from the east, contain Canada's troops, and enable Qi to advance quickly; At the same time, it was suggested that the war with Canada should be resolved quickly, and that it was best to end the war against Canada before the Lu State launched a war to occupy Mexico.

Feng Guohua also pointed out in the telegram that the core area of Canada is in the east, and if it occupies Ontario, it can not only obtain the wealth of Ontario, but also expand the strategic depth of Qi, so that the borders of Qi and Lu overlap, which is more conducive to jointly dealing with Western whites such as Canada and the United States.

Feng Guohua and Lu Weimin had the same views on the order of the war.

In this way, Zhang Wei and Chen Yifeng determined the plan for the war against Canada, Chen Yifeng considered the international influence, rejected Lu's request to join the war, he hoped to rely on his own strength, defeat Canada, if he really resisted, then seek Lu Guo's help.

At this point in time, the temperature in Canada was too low to allow for a rapid march, so the war was set for March, and the war against Canada was ended within two months.

As for the rest of the things, it is up to Chen Yifeng to continue to improve the plan, and carry out the deployment of troops and materials, I believe that with the troops of the two armies, he will definitely be able to catch Canada by surprise and successfully occupy Ontario and the west region.
