Chapter 583: Zhongyang Empire
At the moment when Colonel Kolchak's body fell, a terrifying howl suddenly sounded on the roof of this conference room, and Marshal Alikseev raised his head in astonishment, and saw that the reinforced concrete ceiling suddenly turned into countless fragments, like grapeshotfire fired from a breech gun, accompanied by a huge black shadow smashing down on the head.
Immediately after that, on the floor not far from him, there was an extra thick black cylinder, half of which was diagonally inserted under the concrete floor, and what remained on it was more than half a meter long.
"Three-eighty-zero cannonballs!" A rear admiral, covered in blood from the concrete blocks falling from the roof, burst into flames with a heart-rending scream as if he had a spring under him, but at the same time, the shell exploded.
A 380 shell in the middle of the Governor's Palace drew a sentence for the battle of Vladivostok, and the high-explosive shells loaded with sixty kilograms of antimony and antimony directly razed the building, and those Russian troops who were still insisting on resistance saw the huge fire mass rising in the direction of the Governor's Palace, the last bit of will to fight also collapsed, and the white flag was picked out from the remaining fortresses, and Vladivostok was completely conquered.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to give a name to our new territory, and how these places should be ruled, this is also up to you to decide." Attendant Yuan leaned over to Emperor Yang with a smile and said.
This problem really needs to be solved urgently, during this period of time China's territorial area is like blowing up balloons, what kind of identity is the new arrival of these territories, this is also a problem that the people of the whole country are unanimously concerned about, some of them are colonies of the Entente, some are protectorates, and some belong to the territories directly under the Yang, and now they are in the hands of Emperor Yang, whether they should continue their previous nature or simply become provinces directly under the Chinese Empire, or members of the Federal Empire, this must be determined.
In fact, Congress is more inclined to the states, because these territories are too large. Moreover, the situation in various places is complicated, and if it is changed to a province to which the Chinese Empire belongs, then it is necessary to carry out large-scale reforms to make it completely consistent with the original provinces, which is a difficult project, but if it becomes a state, it is much simpler, and it can be said that the method of British rule can be directly copied, and it should be said that this method is very effective.
"It's easy to say in the north, two provinces are directly managed, one is Beihai Province, and the provincial capital is located in Chita or Ulan-Ude. It's still Ulan-Ude, Chita let Wang Shizhen burn too hard, and Ulan-Ude is relatively easy to develop its economy by relying on Lake Baikal. Another Lingbei province was set up, the provincial capital was set up in Boli, and Sakhalin Island, Hokkaido, and Alaska were all assigned to Beihai Province.
After all Central Asia was taken, it was also changed to a province. It is called Ansi Province, and the provincial capital is located in Tashkent or Kokand.
The former Russian Luzon colony in the south was directly changed to Luzon Province directly under the Chinese Empire, and the provincial capital was naturally to be located in Manila, and the original British colony in northern Borneo was assigned to Lanfang Province. As for the Sultan of Brunei, give him the status of an imperial duke and revoke his title of sultan, but his property in Brunei will still belong to him. If you don't agree to do so, just scatter it.
Malaya and Singapore also had provinces, and the kings of the Brunei Darussalam gave imperial titles and surrendered their territories to retain their possessions. This part of the land was changed to Straits Province, with the provincial capital in Singapore.
The same is true of Ceylon, which was directly changed to Ceylon Province, and the provincial capital is located in Colombo.
In addition, I sent someone to ask the king of Siam if he would like to join the Empire of the Federal Republic of China, and if he wished, he would be given official state status according to the laws of Korea, Vietnam, etc., but he must carry out constitutional reform, and if he did not want to, then I did not say this. Emperor Yang smiled wickedly when he said this.
The chief attendant Yuan next to him naturally understood that Emperor Yang was giving face to the king of Siam, if he was not ashamed of his face, then he would have to give them some color to see, such as adding some condiments to their river water, and now Yuan attendant chief has a feeling of worshipping this simplest, direct, and effective method.
However, the king of Siam should not be so ignorant, after all, in addition to Persia, Ottomans, Afghanistan, and the emirate of Riyadh in the west, there are still two countries left in Asia, Siam and Japan, and they are like two humble ants in front of the giant dragon of China.
At this time, Burma, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal were all part of British India, and the supreme ruler of British India was the British king, and now it is ruled by China, so is this way continued?
"This issue is discussed and decided by the council!" Yang Feng thought for a while, and suddenly said with a sinister smile.
Leaving it to the parliament for discussion and decision means that the anarchy of India can continue, because if Yang Feng wears the Indian crown again, then he will definitely be responsible for the current chaos and plague in India, how can a great and benevolent monarch like him allow his subjects to live in misery? He had to work to end the chaos and plague in India, and that's what he directed behind the scenes, how could he do that.
Therefore, the easiest way is to leave the Indian question to the parliament to decide, whether to divide it into provinces belonging to the Chinese empire or become states, or even to the Indian people, these are all decided by the parliament, and then this meeting will be held again and again for an indefinite period of time, and Emperor Yang can continue to turn a blind eye to the miserable life of the Indian people, and he also has good reasons not to take over India for the time being, you must know that the crown of India is still in Buckingham Palace, and how can he be the emperor of India without even the crown? If the name is not right, it is not good!
Of course, if Edward VII had sent him the Indian crown, he might have considered urging Parliament to make a decision sooner.
"Your Majesty, should we consider swallowing Japan too?" Chief Yuan said, now there are only a few countries in the whole of Asia anyway, poor places like Afghanistan are not considered for the time being, Persia and China are allies, and the same is true of the Ottoman Empire, as for the Emirate of Riyadh of the Saudi family, to put it bluntly, it is a vassal of His Majesty the Emperor himself. After China declared war on Britain, the small countries of Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Trusil Oman (that is, the United Arab Emirates), and Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, which were originally under the British protectorate, were all naturally taken by the Chinese garrison in Kuwait and the Saudi family, and those monarchs also happily accepted the protection of Emperor Yang, but not by the Empire of the Federal Republic of China, but by the Chinese Emperor Xià himself.
If the King of Siam agrees to join the Empire of the Federal Republic of China, then the only country in the whole of Asia that is still free from Japan will be, although this country has been completely controlled by China economically, but after all, there is an emperor, and in the eyes of the Chinese people, who increasingly regard themselves as the Chinese Empire, this title alone is worth beating them again.
And the call for Japan itself to join the Empire of the Federal Republic of China is also very high, and even some Japanese have changed their surnames to Chinese surnames, because they are not Chinese, so they love to choose what surname the Chinese government can't care about themselves, so the surname Zhang, the surname Wang, and the surname Li are all there, especially with the surname of Emperor Yang, these guys often rely on this little trick to pretend to be Chinese to swagger outside, and the Chinese minister in Japan has repeatedly made representations to the Japanese government, but this kind of thing is really unmanageable.
"It's not impossible for them to join China, but if they have the conditions, either abolish the title of emperor and reduce it to the king of Japan, and the Japanese imperial family must issue a human declaration, and from then on, they don't play tricks like the emperor is a god, and the emperor or the king of Japan is an ordinary person, and it has nothing to do with fantasy things.
If they still want to keep the title of Emperor, it's very simple, kick the current Emperor aside, I will give him the status of a hereditary duke, a member of the hereditary House of Lords, keep the royal property, and then their Emperor's crown will be on my head. Yang Feng thought for a while and said, Japan's problem really needs to be solved, otherwise this country is too much of an eyesore in front of him, anyway, Japan at this time can never be a threat to China, so it is logical to swallow it.
Since His Majesty the Emperor prefers to turn the newly acquired territories into provinces directly under the Chinese Empire, then the Imperial Congress has no choice but to agree, of course, this is nothing more than a troublesome point, in the long run, the provinces are naturally much more advantageous than the states, but the reform of these places is a long and cumbersome work, this must be carried out slowly, but the work on Siam and Japan must be carried out immediately, to be honest, for these two countries, the Chinese Congress has long been in the way, especially Japan, a small broken country actually dares to call the emperor, This is also the mercy of our emperor, to drive over this kind of arrogance of the barbarians is to Xingwangshi to go over and crusade.
There is really no problem on the Siamese side, at this time, as long as they are not fools, the Siamese people have already understood their fate, and the Siamese king Rama V at this time is also a smart man, otherwise Siam would not have been left alone in the history of a bunch of colonists, although the main reason is that Britain and France want to leave a buffer zone, but he and his son Rama VI two generations of sober-mindedness is also indispensable.
Emperor Yang has conquered almost all of Asia, and the rest of him, a country with a big fart, can't stop a sneeze of this northern dragon, and if he doesn't want to perish, he can only give in, as for the constitutional monarchy reform, there is no problem with this, in fact, Rama V has been working hard in this direction for himself over the years, and it is not a big deal for him to become a virtual monarch, at least much stronger than the Sultan of Brunei and the kings of Malaya.
