The huge war reparations, as well as the proceeds captured during the war, are enough to solve the urgent needs of the current empire! And this is not the biggest gain in the war, the biggest gain is the rich land! The Chinese have a deep attachment to the land, even more than the Russians! These lands are the most important things compared to the wealth that has been plundered by the war reparations obtained!

"Your Majesty, after this war, the territory of the empire has expanded again! First of all, British Canada has now been incorporated into the Icefields, the seven states of the western United States that form the Overseas Provinces of the Empire, Australia and New Zealand form the Provinces of Australia, and the Ganges and Indus Provinces in northern India! These were all overseas colonies that originally belonged to the British, but now they have been directly incorporated into the Empire and have become the territory of the Empire! It's just that these territories are still vast and sparsely populated, and it will take a lot of time for us to completely annex and digest them! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said! 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, which can be called the largest country in the world!

"The population of the empire is now almost 600 million! Despite the fact that we have already made a large number of migrants to Central Asia, Siberia and Southeast Asia, the population pressure in the country is still very high! In the coming time, the imperial government must once again prepare for large-scale immigration, and the vast territory of North America can immigrate at least more than 30 million! There is no problem with 20 million immigrants to Australia! And in the fertile territory of northern India, 50 million to 100 million immigrants are perfectly fine! Therefore, in the future, the empire will carry out at least more than 100 million migrations, which is very necessary for the empire to consolidate its rule in these regions! I hope that before the next war begins, the emigration will be completed, and that the people of the empire will gain a foothold in these regions! Wang Yuze said sternly! In the future confrontation with Germany, a large number of dù is equal to the confrontation of national strength! Although China has now surpassed Germany in national strength, Germany has greatly improved their strength after acquiring most of the territory of France and part of Eastern Europe, and the British have turned to Germany, these countries have a well-established industrial base. Once recovered, it will undoubtedly lead to a rapid increase in Germany's strength. At that time, it will be very difficult for China to continue to maintain its superiority over Germany! Therefore, during this time, China must continue to develop, ensuring a leading edge over Germany!

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Cabinet will do its best to come up with a plan for immigration and strive to complete the immigration work in the next five years! Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

Wang Yuze nodded, but the prime minister Wu Tingfang at this moment is now 71 years old, full of gray hair, although the spirit is still relatively strong, but the prime minister's work is too heavy for his current age! Wang Yuze is already thinking about reappointing a new prime minister after the end of this one's term, so that Wu Tingfang, who has paid all his life for the empire, can enjoy his old age in peace!

"In addition to the territories that are directly incorporated into the Empire, the Empire now has a large overseas colony! According to the agreement between the Reich and Germany and Austria-Hungary, a large part of the overseas colonies of France and Great Britain were already owned by the Reich! Add to that the lands that the Empire acquired directly from other countries during the war, and that's a lot of land! These include Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, Sri Lanka, the 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, the many small islands in the Pacific Ocean, and a large colony in Africa! These colonies all need to be managed in a unified way in order to be able to provide a steady stream of benefits to the Empire! Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi continued!

"When it comes to the islands in the Mediterranean, the strategic location is very important! The military believes that we should tighten our grip on these areas. As long as enough troops are deployed on these islands, airfields and fortifications are built, the islands can be turned into bases against Europe! "Marshal Cai Yun, Chief of the General Staff, said! These islands are spread over almost the entire Mediterranean, and as long as the performance of the air force's fighters is further improved, almost the entire Mediterranean can be brought into the range of the Chinese air force and navy's fighter planes, which is very helpful in curbing the infiltration of Europe, especially Germany, into Africa and other regions. Of course, these places will also become the first line of confrontation between China and Germany!

"So be it! Create a new Mediterranean province and bring all these islands in the Mediterranean into the territory of the empire! It is convenient for the empire to directly manage this! Emperor Wang Yuze said!

This mention was approved by the cabinet ministers and military giants! Once all these islands become official territory of the Empire, then this means that any encroachment on these territories is tantamount to a declaration of war against China! That alone is enough to intimidate many countries!

"Also, should we follow the example of the West and set up a special department to manage the vast colonies? For example, the Ministry of Colonies, where the Minister of Colonies is responsible for ensuring the interests of the Empire in these colonies! Wang Yuze said!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is very feasible! In Western countries, there are special departments to manage these colonies in order to guarantee their benefits to these colonies! There weren't many overseas colonies of the empire before, so there was no special administration! Now that the Empire's overseas colonies have increased considerably, it's time to set up a dedicated Colonial Ministry! Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

"The Colonial Ministry had several viceroyalties, such as the Viceroyalty of Oceania, which were responsible for administering the Empire's islands in Oceania. The Viceroyalty of the Caribbean, which administered the Empire's colonies in the Caribbean and Central America. The Viceroyalty of the Middle East, which was responsible for administering the empire's colonies in the Middle East. The Viceroyalty of the Indian Ocean, which administers the Empire's colonies in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula and in the Indian Ocean! As for the colonies in Africa, they were divided into two parts, with the Viceroyalty of North Africa administering Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and colonies such as Somalia and Sudan! The Viceroyalty of South Africa administers the colonies of Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius and South Africa! The governors of the respective satrapies, appointed by the Emperor and accountable to the Emperor and the Ministers of the Colonies! Wang Yuze put forward the idea in his heart!

Wang Yuze's mention of yì has won everyone's unanimous approval. A colony is different from a territory that has been incorporated into the Empire! The territory incorporated into the empire, which was carried out mainly by immigration and exploitation. And for those colonies, it was mainly about plundering and enslaving the local natives! The natives of the colonies were not citizens of the Empire, nor did they enjoy the rights that citizens of the Empire should enjoy! Although this is a bit cruel to those colonial natives, hasn't the Western world always treated these colonial natives as human beings?

"What about the Channel Islands, Anglesey, and Isle of Man in Europe?" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi asked. He noted that Wang Yuze did not list the areas under the jurisdiction of several governorates.

"The Channel Islands, Anglesey and Isle of Man should be handed over to the military for direct military control! This will be the first line of our confrontation with Germany, and it will be very dangerous if we emigrate! Just use it to deploy troops! Wang Yuze said!

These islands, all close to France or England, will be the first target of the Germans in the event of a conflict between China and Germany, or even a war! If the immigrants pass, there is no guarantee of safety! Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to leave the military in charge of jurisdiction and only carry out military deployments!

"Your Majesty, what about the candidates for the Colonial Ministers and the Governors of the Governors? Now that these colonies are still under military control, the empire needs to do everything possible to establish the colony department, and then let the whole department run the whole department! Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!

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

Colonial ministers and governors are primarily tasked with administering these colonies for the Empire, and their mission is to plunder these areas as much as possible and reap the benefits of the Empire! Therefore, people with a soft personality are definitely not suitable, and they must be able to be ruthless. In this way, the interests of the empire can be guaranteed! Aren't all those colonial governors of Western countries ruthless? While this will be criticized by the corrupt, as long as the empire can reap tangible benefits, it will be enough! Anyway, for the powerful China, these weak colonies, even if they resist, they can't make any waves!

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Colonies and the Governors of several colonies, the interests of the Empire are at stake, and you must be cautious!" Prime Minister Wu Dinh Fong said! Wang Yuze had already said before that the Imperial Colonial Ministers and Colonial Governors were appointed by the Emperor, so the Cabinet was not willing to get involved!

Wang Yuze thought about it for a while, and finally had to put this issue aside for the time being. It was not until three days later that Xu Shichang, the former governor of the empire's Outer Mongolia Province, was appointed as colonial minister. Xu Shichang, who is 58 years old, was very good during his tenure as governor of Outer Mongolia Province! This time, he was valued by Wang Yuze and was specially entrusted with a heavy task! On the positive side of the facts, Wang Yuze really didn't look at the wrong person!
