Zhang Wei felt that the affairs of the Qin State and the North African Special Region were almost busy, so he said goodbye to everyone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
First, it reached the South Asian theater and put down 700,000 systematic civilians, including 350,000 couples and 200,000 single men; Zhang Wei confessed that the South Asian Theater was responsible for finding a daughter-in-law for them.
"Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing me by doing this? There are still many people in the army who are not married, and there are so many bachelors who have been sent, and I can't conjure so many girls to be their daughters-in-law. Qin Fei said with a sad face.
"You still have the face to be the Grand Governor? It's hard to do such a simple thing, so you might as well go home and pick up your baby as soon as possible. ”
Qin Fei was overjoyed, "Your Majesty must have a good know-how?" Teach it to me. “
Zhang Wei said: "In fact, there are many girls of mixed Indian race who are very beautiful, and there are also many beauties in Central Asia, the only regret is that they can't speak Chinese for the time being, in fact, as long as they are beautiful and healthy, these are secondary; You can make a rule that all unmarried women in Afghanistan must first accept the selection of the Chinese before they can get married, and if anyone violates it, both men and women will be subject to labor reform; Accept the selection once a year before the end of the year, let these bachelors choose, and if they are selected, they will be taken home as daughters-in-law; And you can also import daughters-in-law from Central Asia, it's a big deal to spend some money, and you still feel sorry for this money? “
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but these 2 methods may not work, many people don't like to ask outsiders to be daughters-in-law, and they are willing to find Chinese, what if they are lacking again?"
"How can there be so many Chinese unmarried girls, as long as they are married to Chinese girls as daughters-in-law, they will all be Chinese in the future; Besides, many officers in Qilu and Qi also marry Japanese girls or Thai girls as daughters-in-law, and some people marry South American mixed-race girls as daughters-in-law. “
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Wei said: "As the governor of the theater, you don't put your mind on preparing for war and construction, and it's not a good thing that you have too much to think about in this regard. “
Qin Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me, I am now thinking every day about how to seize the Central Asian region from the Russian Empire, for government affairs and construction, it is not my strong point, or Your Majesty will also send a few administrative officials and professionals to assist me?" “
"Well, I'll think about it when I get back. Are there still Indians in the Indian occupation zone now? “
"Back to Your Majesty, there are only scattered Dai people in the mountainous areas in the northeast of India, they say that they are descendants of Yunnan people, I didn't deal with them, and continue to let them live in the local area, in addition, there are no people of other nationalities, but the immigration speed is too slow, a lot of fertile land is barren, and it hurts to look at it."
"What about the Afghans?"
Qin Fei said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, the army drove a large number of Afghans to Iran, and then a large number of Indians entered Afghanistan, and now I can't tell the difference between Afghans and Indians, so I can't say how many Afghans remain in Afghanistan." ”
Zhang Wei thought to himself, this is not a difficult matter, after the first division of the mercenaries and the first cavalry army arrive in Afghanistan, all these people will be driven out of the country, so that there is no need to distinguish between Indians and Afghans.
When Zhang Wei returned to the palace in Shangjing, Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang immediately rushed to report to Zhang Wei.
In Mr. Zhang's office, Mr. Hua sat across from Mr. Zhang's desk.
Zhang Wei said solemnly: "What's the situation so urgent, I just got home, and I didn't care about seeing the children, so you rushed to report it." “
Hua Guoqiang said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to disturb you, but recently, the British and French ambassadors in Shanghai have protested to me several times, saying that we have too many troops stationed in West Asia, which has disrupted the military balance in the region, and asked when we will withdraw our troops." “
"You won't tell them that this is our internal affair and no one has the right to interfere."
Hua Guoqiang said: "Your Majesty, I said it, but they still came to me one after another, this is a question raised at their cabinet meeting, the empire must give them a clear answer, so that they can make a difference to the country." “
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Haha, I haven't looked for trouble with them yet, they came to our trouble first, you ask them, why did you take in a few families who fled from the West Asian region, they are all enemies of the empire, and they must be handed over to the empire to deal with." “
"Your Majesty, I have said it all, they said that they were out of humanitarian principles, and they saw that they were too pitiful, so they set up refugee camps, and only gave them a little food, or they would starve to death."
Zhang Wei asked rhetorically, "Do you believe what they say?" When did the British have such a kind heart? They must not have done it well. “
Hua Guoqiang explained: "Your Majesty, you can't blame them for their kindness, in fact, they are doing this to test the attitude of the empire; His Majesty sold all the Xia-class battleships and King-class battleships, even the Lanfang-class battleships and battlecruisers were not many, and His Majesty did not replenish more advanced battleships as soon as possible, which made the Imperial Navy very weak, and now everyone is very worried. “
Zhang Wei knew that they were testing the attitude of the empire, and he was unwilling to have conflicts with them now, and he didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, so he said: "Then you tell him that when the West Asian region is stable, the empire will withdraw troops one after another, and by the end of this year, the empire will withdraw 30,000 cavalry and 16,000 mercenaries; In July next year, eight divisions and a garrison of 128,000 troops will be withdrawn depending on the situation. “
"Yes, Your Majesty, but will the withdrawal of so many troops have a bad impact on the West Asia Theater?"
"These troops went to West Asia for training, not counting the military strength of the West Asia Theater, and of course they had to be transferred back after their tasks were completed, so it would not have a bad impact on the West Asia Theater."
Hua Guoqiang said: "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will tell them this number and the withdrawal plan, which can be regarded as appeasing their frightened little hearts first, so that they can also give an explanation to the country." “
"What's the reaction of other countries?" Zhang Wei asked.
Hua Guoqiang said: "Your Majesty, Germany also reacted that we have stationed too many troops in the North African Special Economic Region and the East African Special Administrative Region, and surrounded their colonies, which is a serious threat to them, but the attitude is not very strong; The Ottoman Empire welcomes us to station more troops there to maintain stability in West Asia and reduce their military pressure; The Russian Empire had just signed an agreement with the Empire, and it was still at peace with the Empire, so there was no protest for the time being, but they certainly did not feel good in their hearts, so Britain, France, and Russia are now very close. “
Zhang Wei said to Hua Guoqiang: "Diplomatic protest is the most incompetent performance, Britain and France have successively raised diplomatic protests, which shows that they have no unfavorable thoughts for the empire, and we have no need to contradict them, and coexist peacefully for a period of time, which is beneficial to both sides; In accordance with the established policy, the empire used this period of peace to digest the existing territory and consolidate the current management foundation. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, the main thing is to pacify the countries of Europe."
