On the evening of January 3, 1906, Zhang Wei received a telegram from Feng Yutian that the 7th and 8th Divisions had completely occupied Sillom and Bandung, and were preparing to occupy the surrounding counties and cities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Zhang Wei didn't pay too much attention to this, there were no Dutch soldiers there at all, at most a few policemen, and there was no suspense about occupying there.

On the morning of January 4, in Zhang Wei's study, Lu Weimin sat opposite Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei said: "Chief of General Staff Lu, this is a telegram sent yesterday by Feng Yutian, chief of staff of the Java Provincial Military Region. As he spoke, he handed the telegram to Lu Weimin on the occupation of Semarang, Surabaya, Silang, and Bandung.

"Yes, young master" Lu Weimin asked after reading the telegram, "Does the young master have any plans for the next step?" “

"I think for the time being, let's occupy the three provinces of Kalimantan and Java."

"I thought about it all night last night, and now my opinion is to leave only the northern part of Sumatra for the Netherlands, and we will occupy the rest of the island."

"I also thought about occupying Sulawesi and the western part of Papua as soon as possible, but if we send more troops, our forces will be too dispersed, and if we send fewer troops, it will be easy to be wiped out, so I haven't thought about it." Zhang Wei said: "As for Sumatra, there are three Dutch divisions stationed there, and it is so close to Singapore, the British will never let us occupy Sumatra, and if we go to fight, the British will definitely send troops to participate in the war." Now that 10 divisions have been released, I don't dare to send out any more troops for the time being, so I must leave some guarantees. “

"Young master, there is no need to send so many troops to the three provinces on Kalimantan Island, one division in each province is enough, you can transfer the 6th Division to Sulawesi, the 4th Division to Papua Island, and the 2nd Division to Sumatra, so that there is no need to set up a provincial military district staff in the three provinces of Kalimantan; Besides, there is a young master sitting in Batavia, and if there is a strong enemy in any direction, we can reinforce them in a very short time, and the advantage of this is that the enemy can't figure out how many troops we have, and if there is less, it is not enough for 1 division to destroy, and if there is more, the young master can block their back road and annihilate them all. Besides, if you occupy these regions, you can directly upgrade to kingdom level. “

"Alright then, you make a battle plan. Also, do we announce the founding of the country? You can't just keep it going. “

"Young master, no, since Britain, France and other countries already know about our existence, soon the Kingdom of the Netherlands will also know about the situation here, and when we return to Batavia, we can announce the establishment of the Lanfang Kingdom."

"Alright then, you make a plan to coordinate the fleet escort with the navy, and use the captured merchant ships to transport troops first."

"Okay"

Zhang Wei thought to himself, wipe out all the armies on the other islands of the Netherlands, and fight with the Dutch army on Sumatra Island in the future. Look at how many troops such a small country as the Netherlands can consume.

After Lu Weimin left, Zhang Wei ordered Xiao Yuer to synthesize 3 special government officials and let them serve as governors of 3 provinces on Kalimantan Island; 3 high-ranking merchants were synthesized to open grain stores with the governor; Synthesized 3 as a special merchant, temporarily serving as the director of the Commerce and Finance Bureau of the 3 provinces. After they met with Zheng Daoping and Lu Sifu, they were immediately put in office.

Soon Lu Weimin made a plan and sent a telegram to the divisions, as well as to Han Xin and Zhang Cheng;

ordered the headquarters of the 1st Division to be stationed in Pontianak in the future, and the defense of the entire West Kalimantan Province was to be taken care of by the 1st Division in the future, and the division headquarters must arrive in Pontianak on the morning of the 4th to receive the defense; The 2nd Division had to assemble quickly, and after handing over to the 1st Division on the 4th, it would evacuate the Western Province, and of course Zhang Wei picked them up in the system hall.

The 3rd Division was responsible for the defense of the entire province of South Kalimantan, and Zhang Cheng and the 4th Division were to occupy Papua and the surrounding islands under the escort of the fleet.

The 5th Division was responsible for the defense of the entire province of East Kalimantan, and Han Shin and the 6th Division were to occupy Sulawesi and the surrounding islands under the escort of the fleet.

On the afternoon of 3 July, Li Chunsheng, the governor of West Kalimantan Province, took office, and the provincial government was set up in the official residence of the former Dutch political official. In the afternoon of the same day, the grain wholesale store in Western Province officially opened, mainly selling rice, white flour and salt, and the price was 2% lower than the market.

On the morning of the 3rd, Li Mengran, commander of the 1st Division, received a telegram asking him to lead the division headquarters back to Pontianak and take charge of the defense of the entire western province in the future. The chief of staff and the deputy division commander of the division were immediately invited to discuss relocation and defense matters. It was decided that on the morning of the 4th, Li Mengran would lead the reconnaissance battalion and guard battalion directly under the division to Pontianak first, and the chief of staff of the division would lead the troops directly under the division and the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment to set off later; Let the 4th Regiment be stationed in Yamaguchiyang in the future, and only 1 battalion can be stationed in Sanfa, and then the deputy division commander will lead the 3rd Regiment back to Pontianak after the 4th Regiment arrives at Yamaguchiyang.

The 2nd Division has been assembled and can be evacuated as soon as the handover of the 1st Regiment is completed.

The Government Council, the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Staff Department and the Ministry of Commerce and Finance are all ready to relocate.

As for the Admiralty and the War Department, only the names have been established, and these two departments have not yet been formed.

For James's Bank of Asia, it is still located in Pontianak for the time being, and will not be relocated for the time being. James said to Zhang Wei: "Young master, if the Bank of Asia is not relocated, how will the gold be shipped in the future?" This amount is too large to be transported every day. ”

"You hold on here for a while, and when the Batavia side is stable, and after we establish the state, you can relocate to Batavia, and now it will be too obvious to relocate."

"I see, young master," James replied, "it just so happens that there are no large transactions during this time, just a small amount of exchange, which will not be affected for a short time." ”

On the afternoon of the 3rd, Pontianak received a telegram from Li Zhaoshui, who meant to equip each province with 1 Novik-class destroyer, 2 S6 and 2 G5 motor-torpedo boats, and all submarines would return to Batavia for stationing.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Wei felt that the submarine could only play a greater role if it was used in a centralized manner, so he agreed. So I bought another 1 Novik-class destroyer, which was enough for 5. Now there are still 10 G5 and 9 S6 stationed in Pontianak, and Zhang Wei released the S6 used by himself in the system warehouse, which is just enough for 10 S6s.

Han Xin and Zhang Chengdu telegraphed that the local merchant ships were now sufficient to transport troops, but there were no warships to escort them, so they only needed to send warships to them.

So Zhang Wei formed a fleet of 4 destroyers, 8 S6 and 8 G5, and took the staff of the subordinate departments of the governors of the two provinces to take office.

As for Sulawesi and Papua, for the time being, they can only implement military control, and then send administrative personnel when they are stable.
