Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The huge war reparations and the proceeds captured during the war are enough to solve the urgent needs of the current empire!  Moreover, this is not the biggest gain in the war, the biggest gain is those fertile lands!  The Chinese have a deep attachment to the land, even more eager for the land than the Russians!  Compared with the war compensation and the looted wealth, these lands are the most important!

    "Your Majesty, after this war, the empire's territory has expanded again! First of all, British Canada has now been incorporated into the Icefield Province. The seven states in the western United States form the overseas province of the empire. Australia and New Zealand form  The Australian Province, and the Ganges Province and the Indus Province were also established in northern India! These were overseas colonies that originally belonged to the United Kingdom. Now they have been directly integrated into the Empire and become the territory of the Empire! However, currently, these territories  They are still vast and sparsely populated. If we want to completely annex and digest these territories, we will need a lot of time!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi!  The newly established provinces have increased China's territory by 20 million square kilometers, bringing the empire's territory to nearly 50 million square kilometers. It can be called a country with a larger territory in the world!

    "The current population of the empire is almost 600 million! Although we have carried out a large number of immigrants to Central Asia, Siberia and Southeast Asia before, the domestic population pressure is still very high! The imperial government must once again make a decision in the future.  To prepare for large-scale immigration, the vast territory of North America can accommodate at least 30 million immigrants! Australia has no problem with 20 million immigrants! And the fertile territory in northern India can immigrate 50 million to 100 million! Therefore, in  In the future, the empire will carry out at least 100 million immigrants, which is very necessary for the empire to consolidate its rule in these areas! I hope that the immigration work can be completed before the next war begins, and that the people of the empire will be in these areas.  The region will gain a firm foothold!" Wang Yuze said seriously!  In the future confrontation with Germany, to a large extent it will be equal to the confrontation of national power!  Although China's national power now exceeds Germany's, Germany's strength has been greatly improved after acquiring most of France's territory and some territories in Eastern Europe. In addition, the British have turned to Germany.  Countries all have a sound industrial base.  Once recovered, Germany's strength will undoubtedly grow rapidly.  At that time, it will be very difficult for China to continue to maintain its advantage over Germany!  Therefore, during this period, China must continue to develop and ensure its lead over Germany!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! The cabinet will come up with an immigration plan as soon as possible and strive to complete the immigration work within the next five years!" said Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang!

    Wang Yuze nodded, but at this moment, the Prime Minister Wu Tingfang is 71 years old, with a full head of white hair. Although he is still in good spirits, the work of the Prime Minister is already too heavy for him at his current age!  Wang Yuze is already considering appointing a new prime minister after this term ends, so that Wu Tingfang, who has devoted his whole life to the empire, can enjoy his old age in peace!

    "In addition to the territories directly incorporated into the empire, the empire now also has huge overseas colonies! According to the agreement between the empire and Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a large part of the overseas colonies of France and Britain has been assigned to the empire!  In addition to the land that the empire acquired directly from other countries during the war, this is already very vast! It mainly includes Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, southern Indian Peninsula, Sri Lanka, Maldives in Asia, Sicily, Sardinia,  Cyprus, Corsica, the Balearic Islands, the Maltese Islands and Gibraltar, the Channel Islands, Anglesey and the Isle of Man in the eastern Atlantic, the vast islands of the Caribbean and Central America, and many small islands in the Pacific,  As well as large colonies in Africa! These colonies need to be managed in a unified manner so that they can continuously provide benefits to the empire!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi continued!

    "As for the islands in the Mediterranean, their strategic locations are very important! The military believes that we should strengthen control of these areas. As long as we deploy enough troops on these islands, build airports and fortifications, we can turn these islands into  Fight against European bases!" said Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff!  These islands are almost spread across the entire Mediterranean. As long as the performance of the Air Force's fighter planes is further improved, almost the entire Mediterranean can be brought within the strike range of the Chinese Air Force and Navy's fighter planes. This is very important for curbing the penetration of Europe, especially Germany, into Africa and other regions.  Very helpful.  Of course, these places will also become the front line of confrontation between China and Germany!

    "Let's do this! Create a new Mediterranean province and bring all these islands in the Mediterranean into the empire's territory! This will make it easier for the empire to directly manage this!" Emperor Wang Yuze said!

    This proposal was supported by cabinet ministers and military giants.Same!  Once these islands all become the official territory of the empire, then this means that any violation of these territories is equivalent to a declaration of war against China!  This alone is enough to intimidate many countries!

    "In addition, for the vast colonies, should we follow the example of Western countries and set up a special department to manage them? For example, the Colonial Department, with the Colonial Secretary responsible for ensuring the empire's interests in these colonies!" Wang Yuze said!

    "Your Majesty, I think this is very feasible! In Western countries, there are special departments to manage these colonies to ensure their profits from these colonies! In the past, the empire did not have many overseas colonies, so there was no special management department.  Department! Now, the empire¡¯s overseas colonies have increased a lot, and it¡¯s time to establish a dedicated colonial department!¡± said Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang!

    "There are several governorates under the Colonial Department, such as the Viceroyalty of Oceania, which is responsible for managing the empire's islands in Oceania. The Caribbean Viceroyalty, which is responsible for managing the empire's colonies in the Caribbean and Central America. The Viceroyalty of the Middle East, which is responsible for managing the empire's colonies in the Middle East.  Colonies. The Viceroyalty of the Indian Ocean is responsible for managing the empire's colonies in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula and the Indian Ocean! As for the colonies in Africa, it is divided into two parts. The Viceroyalty of North Africa is responsible for managing the colonies of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Somalia and Sudan! The Viceroy of South Africa  The district is responsible for managing colonies such as Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius and South Africa! The governors of each governor-general are appointed by the emperor and are responsible to the emperor and the colonial minister!" Wang Yuze put forward his idea!

    Wang Yuze¡¯s proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.  Colonies are different from territories that have been incorporated into the Empire!  Territory incorporated into the empire, the empire mainly engaged in immigration and development.  As for those colonies, the main thing was to plunder and enslave the local indigenous people!  The natives of the colonies are not citizens of the empire, nor do they enjoy the rights that citizens of the empire should enjoy!  Although this is a bit cruel to the colonial natives, hasn't the Western world never treated these colonial natives as human beings?

    "Your Majesty, where are the Channel Islands, Anglesey and the Isle of Man in Europe?" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi asked.  He noticed that when Wang Yuze delimited the jurisdiction of several governor-general districts, he did not list these areas.

    "The Channel Islands, Anglesey and the Isle of Man should be handed over to the military to directly implement military control! This will be the front line of our confrontation with Germany. If you immigrate, it will be very dangerous! It is only used to deploy troops.  That¡¯s it!¡± Wang Yuze said!

    These islands are all close to France or the United Kingdom. Once there is a conflict between China and Germany, or even a war breaks out, these islands will be the first target of the Germans!  If you immigrate there, your safety will not be guaranteed!  Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to hand over the jurisdiction to the military and only carry out military deployment!

    "Your Majesty, what about the candidates for the Colonial Secretary and several Governor-Generals? Now these colonies are still under military control. The empire needs to establish the Colonial Department as soon as possible and then get the entire department up and running!" said Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang!

    "Is there a suitable candidate for the cabinet?" Wang Yuze asked.

    The main responsibility of the colonial minister and governor is to manage these colonies for the empire. Their task is to plunder these areas as much as possible and obtain huge profits for the empire!  Therefore, people with a soft personality are definitely not suitable and must be able to be ruthless.  Only in this way can the interests of the empire be guaranteed!  Aren¡¯t all the colonial governors in Western countries cruel and ruthless people?  Although this will be criticized by those rotten scholars, as long as the empire can obtain tangible benefits, that is enough!  Anyway, for the powerful China, these weak colonies, even if they resist, can't make any waves!

    "Your Majesty, the colonial minister and several colonial governors must be cautious when it comes to the interests of the empire!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!  Wang Yuze has said before that the imperial colonial ministers and colonial governors are appointed by the imperial emperor. Therefore, the cabinet is not willing to get involved!

    Wang Yuze thought about it for a while, and finally had to put the issue aside for the time being.  It was not until three days later that Xu Shichang, the former governor of Outer Mongolia Province of the empire, was appointed as colonial minister.  Xu Shichang, who is now 58 years old, performed very well when he served as governor of Outer Mongolia Province!  This time, Wang Yuze valued him and entrusted him with a special responsibility!  The facts are positive, Wang Yuze did not misjudge the person!  (To be continued.
