Xiao Lie replied, "The Northwest Region still has a population of over ten million, so the migration here won't be quick."
Zhang Yi clasped his hands together in a pagoda shape and said earnestly, "Use all available fighter jets, snowmobiles, and special trains from the Snow Country. Don't worry about energy; the current Huaxu Kingdom has plenty of those."
"Moreover, we have just negotiated with the alien race, and even if it slows down the progress a bit, they will not launch a large-scale attack for the time being."
Xiao Lie fell silent.
Zhang Yi meant that the more than ten million people in the Northwest region should be relocated to the vicinity of the Central Plains region no matter what.
Even if it causes some losses, it doesn't matter. All he needs is the result; the execution is Xiao Lie's business.
Xiao Lie understood that the so-called Northwest Gateway was no longer that important in the grand scheme of things.
If the overall situation is to be unified, then personal feelings about one's region must indeed give way.
The same applies to the Northeast region.
Zhang Yi turned to look at Ji Changhai, "Those ice fields near the border in Northeast China have been repeatedly probed by unknown cold-region creatures. There's no need for us to stubbornly hold onto an entire city cluster on the edge of the extreme cold death zone."
"Commander Ji, you lead your men and slowly move south, transferring the main urban clusters into the central area we've designated. Don't let the people scatter. The more remote the small settlements, the tighter the control should be."
Ji Changhai crossed his arms, his expression as if he had swallowed a mouthful of wine. His Adam's apple bobbed, and finally he said in a muffled voice, "Fine."
Being away from home can inevitably make people feel sad.
But now is not the time for sentimental feelings.
“East China Sea Region,” Zhang Yi turned to Li Guangxiao, “the same applies. The naval port can be retained, but don’t place the research center there. Xuanwu and Zhuque, you two must guard the coastline at all costs and prevent anyone from breaking in. Don’t even think about fighting it out at sea.”
“I know,” Li Guangxiao sighed. “We’ve made our own preparations, and what you’ve said really resonates with me.”
"Southwest Region".
Zhang Yi looked at Jueguo and Luozhuo, "You border Bharata, and that direction is the most unstable right now."
“You all know Indra, but he never cares about neighborly harmony; instead, he believes in divine authority. I don’t expect him to behave himself.”
"First, stabilize the morale of the people and avoid direct confrontation with Bharata. Leave people to keep watch on the border, but do not station a large army on the other side of the border. Retreat the major cities inland and connect them with the heartland."
Jueguo stared at Zhang Yi, hesitatingly asking, "But what about our Tantric Buddhist temples?"
As a reincarnated Living Buddha, his primary concern is the faith and lineage of Tantric Buddhism.
The Jokhang Temple still stands, and so does the people's faith.
If they were to move south, the temples would be destroyed, and the foundation of their faith would disappear.
"That's easy to handle."
Zhang Yi seemed to be fully prepared.
"I know that your Southwest Region is industrially backward. I will send a mechanized legion to help you when the time comes."
“Those ancient Buddhist temples marked each brick and beam with a number, disassembled them, transported them to the mainland, and reassembled them. They were guaranteed to be exactly the same!”
The two brothers who were buried were finally relieved.
“Amitabha, since that’s the case, we have no further objections.”
As for the Jiangnan region, the relocation was originally centered around the Jiangnan region, so there is no need to change it.
The same principle applies to the Shengjing region.
The entire Huaxu Kingdom essentially contracted its outer perimeter inward, becoming more solid.
After Zhang Yi finished explaining his plans, he glanced at each of them.
“I know,” he said, “that each of you will have some resistance in your hearts.”
"Who wants to retreat from the land they've conquered? Who wants to tell the people themselves, 'We're moving inward'? Who wants to admit that we can't be the guardians of the entire territory at this stage?"
"But let me explain clearly—"
"We are shrinking our lines, not surrendering."
"This is the first time in a chaotic situation that our six regions have been truly bound together as a whole."
"From now on, we will no longer be six regional alliances; we will be one entity!"
