Chapter 1134: 2 Plans

The autumn chill is deepening.

There is a hint of cold in the wind from the North Territory, and there is frost in the early mornings.

After promising Wang Chong to provide Petroleum for the Great Song's petrochemical industry, Zhao Xu began to formulate a plan to dismantle the Tusman Empire.

Together with this plan is the plan for the Indian national restoration movement.

At the same time.

Chang Wei and Qin Shan each led their troops back from Wumu City and Tianzhu.

The Azure Dragon Army returned to its garrison in Jinling, while the Central Army returned to Yancheng.

As for the navy, Zhou Yi left six Ironclad Warships in Tianzhu, and with a combination of twelve Sailing Warships and Steamships, he led the remaining warships back to the Great Song Navy, resuming the navy's routine patrols.

Taking advantage of their return, Zhao Xu summoned the three of them.

Because the upcoming plans all require the cooperation of the three.

"Hello, Liu Fu, that's right, it's me again, Chang Wei, hahaha..."

In the Imperial Study, Chang Wei held the receiver, a mischievous grin on his face.

Just a moment ago, he had already made three calls to Liu Fu.

Including those from Qin Shan and Zhou Yi, they had called the Cabinet a total of eight or nine times.

At first, Liu Fu answered cordially, but by the end, he was roaring.

This time, just as Chang Wei finished speaking, he heard the sound of the phone being hung up.

"Heh, ever since this guy became the Chief Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, his temper has really grown. When I see him, I must spar with him," Chang Wei said, baring his teeth.

He was completely unaware that his prank calls were causing Liu Fu considerable distress.

However, this could not be blamed on him.

After returning from campaigning abroad for over half a year, the first thing he saw upon entering Emperor Zhao Xu's Imperial Study was a new object called a "Telephone."

Through this telephone, one could actually speak directly to people far away.

At the time, when he, Qin Shan, and Zhou Yi entered and saw Zhao Xu holding the receiver and talking, they thought Zhao Xu was talking to himself.

The three of them were nearly scared to death.

After all, they still had fresh memories of Yan Wang being insane for three years, and they did not want this Emperor to have a relapse.

"Alright, stop harassing others everywhere; your offices will all be installed with them soon," Zhao Xu said, having grown accustomed to it.

Since his Imperial Study was installed with a Hand-cranked Telephone, this place seemed to have become a tourist attraction.

First came Yang Susu, Feng'er, and Luan'er to get a taste of the novelty, followed by Empress Dowager Mi, Zhao Heng, and others.

Important officials like Liu Fu and Yang Feng were naturally no exception.

It wasn't until Wang Chong had the Seventh Laboratory use the remaining materials to build three more—one for the Hougong, one for the Cabinet, and one for Zhao Heng—that everyone finally had their fill.

Of course, there were still many waiting eagerly, but they would not have to wait too long.

Many parts for the Hand-cranked Telephone could now be produced by the Yancheng Accessory Factory.

As long as the technicians from the Research Institute coordinated dimensions and other data with the factory, the telephones could be mass-produced.

"That is truly wonderful. Our Great Song is changing with each passing day. If we had stayed on the frontier for a few more days, I fear we wouldn't even have been able to find the gates of the Imperial Palace upon our return," Zhou Yi sighed with emotion.

This Hand-cranked Telephone was indeed magical, but it was only a part of the changes in Yancheng.

After the Steam Locomotive entered Yancheng, the first things they saw were towering high-rise buildings.

Between the high-rises were spacious roads, and some roads were even laid with rails thinner than railway tracks.

Gushi, it is said that this is the Light Rail Locomotive currently under construction, intended for travel within Yancheng.

Besides these, he also noticed that there were significantly more Bicycles in Yancheng.

Everywhere, there were commoners riding bikes to get around.

"Indeed," Qin Shan also added.

The three then sat down opposite Zhao Xu, as the Emperor had summoned them for serious business.

Once the three were seated, Zhao Xu said, "At present, the Western Lands Allied Forces have been driven out of Tianzhu by us, and after the Tusman Empire was routed at Tianshan, they have also retreated. It can be said that the Great Song no longer has border threats."

"That is indeed the case, but although the border threats are gone, our enemies remain. Whether it is the various countries of the Western Lands or the Tusman Empire, they have merely coiled up like venomous snakes. If given the chance, they will come out to bite again," Chang Wei said loudly.

Zhou Yi echoed, "Although the Western Lands Allied Forces' navy suffered a crushing defeat this time, it was only one-third of the Western Lands' naval strength. They still have two-thirds maintaining their spheres of influence. We must eliminate them all; otherwise, they will be unstable Bombs on the trade routes."

He hated the fact that the Sam Country had broken its fleet into smaller units to harass trade routes.

Although, during this period, the Sam Country's warships had been basically completely destroyed.

But to him, the piratical behavior of the Westerners after their hysteria could not be ignored.

And sometimes, offense is the best defense.

"You are right, that is what I think as well. Our war is far from over, but there is no need to mobilize troops on a large scale as before. Instead, we must adopt flexible strategies to subdue the enemy without fighting as much as possible," Zhao Xu said slowly.

Then, he pushed two documents to the front, asking the three to take a look.

Chang Wei understood and took the documents. After reading them, the three nodded repeatedly.

One of these two documents concerned Zhongtu, and the other concerned the North America continent across the Great Song's seas.

Regarding Zhongtu, Emperor Zhao Xu turned his gaze toward the Persian Empire.

Ten years ago, fearing the power of the Tusman Empire, the Persian Empire chose to submit to the Tusman Empire.

However, unlike other small countries that had their names directly abolished and became one of the Grand Dukes.

Persia still retained relative independence, merely acting as a vassal state to the Tusman Empire.

In this regard, Emperor Zhao Xu believed that one could start with the Persian state to dismantle the Tusman Empire.

The content of this plan had two key parts.

The first part was to first establish diplomatic relations with the Persian state, and then provide firearms and Artillery to help them train their troops.

The second was that after the first point was executed, Chen Hu's Western Regions Protectorate and the Persian state would launch a pincer attack on the Tusman Empire from the north and south.

The second plan is the Indian Restoration Plan.

Regarding the Indians, they had heard Zhao Xu speak of them.

They are the yellow-skinned, black-eyed indigenous people living in North America.

It is highly likely that they are ancient Easterners who migrated there via the northern strait.

After Britain established colonies in North America, they carried out cruel massacres against these indigenous people, just as they had once done in the Nanzhan Continent.

Currently, the situation of these indigenous people can be described as extremely difficult, with their population decreasing sharply; according to the confessions of the captured Sam Country people, it would be good if there were five or six hundred thousand Indians left.

This Indian Restoration Plan also proceeds in two steps.

The first step is for the Great Song Navy to head to Sam Country, and after further destroying their fleet, occupy Hawaii Island and build it into a naval base.

Afterwards, they will coordinate with the personnel of the Silver Fox Plan to find Indian tribes, win their trust, and then use the fleet to transport them to Great Song for training, formally proposing to them the concept of Great Song supporting the founding of an Indian nation.

The second step is naturally to have these trained cadres go to Hawaii, where the navy will assist them in transferring the young and strong Indians from North America to establish an Indian army.

With a formal army, the Indians will be able to confront Sam Country.

By recognizing the Indian Nation, the Azure Dragon Army of Great Song can also support the Indian army at any time, ultimately achieving the goal of driving all the Angsa out of North America.
