Lu Weimin also suggested: "Your Majesty, the West Asia Theater is vast, sparsely populated, and backward in transportation, and it is too difficult for the infantry to march. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei said: "The 7th Army stationed in the Malay Peninsula and the various armies of the Yue Kingdom, the role of the cavalry units is not very large, so 3 cavalry divisions are transferred from the Yue Kingdom, plus the cavalry divisions of the 7th Army, a total of 4 cavalry divisions are transferred, 3 cavalry divisions are to the West Asia Theater, and 1 cavalry division is to the Australian Theater. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Weimin replied that if the three cavalry divisions in the West Asia Theater were strengthened, there would be seven cavalry divisions in the West Asia Theater, which would be enough to clear the local aborigines.

Zhang Wei continued: "The Indian region occupied by the empire is now relatively small in number of natives, and it will be the territory of the Chinese in the future, and it is necessary to establish provinces, appoint provincial governors to manage administration, and implement the separation of military and political affairs, and the Afghan region still needs to be under military control, and the Indian natives of the South Asian Special Region will be driven out of Afghanistan, and the aborigines of Afghanistan will be expelled to the Kingdom of Iran or Central Asia; The East African, North African, and West Asian theaters should also be under military control; to transport all the indigenous people of the island of Madagascar to Mozambique, all the indigenous people of Djibouti and Somalia to Ethiopia, and all the indigenous people of the West Asian theater of operations to the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Iran; Among them, strong men can be used as free labor, and the next step is to strengthen the infrastructure in these places and kill those who do not obey the managers; In this war against Britain and France, the mercenaries performed well in India, so it is still necessary to give full play to the role of mercenaries when dealing with the natives, and the General Staff should count the merits of the war and reward the mercenaries. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Weimin replied that if most of the territory in the South Asian Theater is set up as provincial administration, then at least one national defense division in each province will be reorganized into an armed police, and the three regular armies will all be used for external defense, which is sufficient.

Zheng Daoyou asked, "Does Your Majesty have any suggestions for the setting up of various provinces?" ”

Zhang Wei said: "There is now sparsely populated, so don't set the province too small, in the setting to fully consider the traffic problems, etc., let me give an example, east of the Ganges, east of the Brahmaputra River and east of the Ista River, you can set up a southern Tibetan province in the north, and a Rakhine province in the south, so that it is easy to manage; The remaining parts of Bengal can set up a Kasai province around the city of Kolkata; On the banks of the Ganges in the north, a northern province can be set up; The area of Punjab is large enough to remain unchanged; The entire northern mountainous area can set up Himalayan provinces, and you should discuss and determine the specific situation according to the actual situation, and it is advisable to take about 10 provinces. ”

Premier Chung Dao-woo asked, "Your Majesty, what about the territory of the Pacific Ocean and the Australian Commonwealth?" ”

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "The territory exchanged with the Germans on the island of Papua is assigned to the Southwest Dominion for management; The Australian continent was changed to the Golden State continent, and the Australian theater was changed to the Golden State theater; New Zealand was set up as Haizhou Province, and Wellington City was changed to Haizhou City; Queensland in the Commonwealth of Australia was changed to Eastern States, and Brisbane was changed to Zhendong City; Victoria and Tasmania were set up as the province of Mount Kinaba, and the city of Melbourne was changed to Mount Mt. New South Wales was changed to Anding Province, and Sydney City was changed to Anding City; The four newly established provinces were under the direct jurisdiction of the Empire, and all military defenses were under the administration of the Golden State Theater; The remaining islands, including the Solomon Islands and the Marshall Islands, are all under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Theater, and the commander of the Pacific Fleet, General Gan Pinghai, is concurrently the Metropolitan Governor of the Pacific Theater; What is the objection to this division? ”

Lu Weimin asked: "Your Majesty, how do you arrange the army?" ”

"Based on the 41st Division of the Praetorian Guard stationed in Hawaii, the 41st Army is set up, with 4 national defense divisions under its jurisdiction, and the commander is represented by Xia Shuanglong, the commander of the 41st Division, and is no longer equipped with mercenaries and cavalry divisions; The four regiments on the island of Madagascar were reorganized into the 42nd Division, and in turn into the 42nd Army; The Jinzhou Theater still has the strength of two armies, one corps is stationed in the east and west, and one cavalry division is added, and one national defense division is arranged in each newly established province to be reorganized into an armed police force. Zhang Wei arranged.

Zheng Daoyou, Lu Weimin and others have no objection to such an arrangement.

Li Zhaoshui said: "Your Majesty, should the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet also be handled according to this method?" ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "You know that to fight for the interests of the navy, the Atlantic Fleet is still very weak, and it does not have such conditions, in order not to provoke the European countries, it is better not to change, and the Atlantic Fleet will definitely be strengthened in the future, don't worry;

The Indian Ocean Fleet can install this method to deal with it, set up the Indian Ocean Theater, assign Sri Lanka Island, the Maldives Islands and other islands in the Indian Ocean to the Indian Ocean Fleet for management, and the islands where the ports of Sabang and Port Blair are located also belong to them, and also set up many military ports in the coastal areas, which can also be managed by the navy, such as the construction of the Abbas military port in southern Iran, the port of Aden in the Arabian Peninsula, the construction of the Manama military port in the Persian Gulf, and the construction of several military ports in North and East Africa, such as the Djibouti military port. Mogadishu military port, etc.;

As for the Central Fleet, it can be referred to this method, for example, the Cam Ranh Bay Military Port in Annam Province, the Subic Bay Military Port in Luzon, and the Nasna Military Port can be brought under the jurisdiction of the Navy. ”

Li Zhaoshui continued: "Your Majesty, my opinion is that either the Northern Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Northern Theater of Operations should be assigned to the Central Fleet, or the Northern Fleet should be strengthened, and at least 1 battleship and 2 battlecruisers should be arranged, otherwise it will not have a deterrent effect on the Russian Empire and Japan. ”

Zhang Wei explained: "Now the Vladivostok military port of the Russian Empire and the whole of Japan are surrounded by the empire, no matter how great their strength is, they are not the opponents of the empire, there is no need to deter, the northern fleet is mainly patrolling, besides, if there is any emergency, it is still very convenient to transfer the navy from the Subic military port of the Central Fleet to the north, and concentrate all the capital ships in the Central Fleet, its deterrent effect is greater, and it is not good to disperse the forces." ”

Zheng Daoyou suggested: "Your Majesty, in order to dilute the sovereignty of the Arabs of West Asia over the Arabian Peninsula, I propose to rename the Arabian Peninsula to the West Asian Peninsula, like some religious holy places, such as Mecca, Medina and other places should also be named after our Chinese habits. ”

Zhang Wei said: "This suggestion is very good, but it is not appropriate to change the name on a large scale, or we will not be able to cope with it ourselves, or only change the name of the place where the religious power is stronger, and this matter will be the responsibility of the Government Council;

In addition, I do not allow a single local indigenous person to exist on the islands under the jurisdiction of the Indian Ocean Theater and the Pacific Theater, that is, the laborers will be sent away separately or secretly disposed of after completing their tasks, and I do not want anyone in these places to come out and claim sovereignty in the future. ”

Li Zhaoshui continued: "Your Majesty, in this case, the army strength of the Indian Ocean Theater needs to be strengthened. ”

"Then add 1 more national defense division, mainly to maintain order and defend the military ports on the island, and the military ports on the mainland are still guarded by various theaters, and these forces are enough for the navy." Zhang Wei said.

No one else had any objections to the arrangements for the Pacific Theater and the Indian Ocean Theater, and it was thus determined. (To be continued.) )
