When Zhuang Jiuxia learned about it, he immediately laughed: "I deserve it! I dare to beat me up on the Air Force. I deserve it. You two should be scolded! Your Majesty is so wise!"

A storm passed like this. But a month later, Li Weiguo held a military meeting in the imperial front. Zhang Xiaoliu and Lin Jiyun once again mentioned the use of balloons or airships for reconnaissance for the army and navy.

This time, Li Weiguo did not get angry, but instead approved the request of the two of them. The Shence Army of the Chinese Empire thus established the Naval Aviation Corps and the Army Aviation Corps, which were under the jurisdiction of the Navy and the Army respectively.

However, due to the principle of strategic confidentiality, HNA and Land Airlines are not large in scale. The preliminary training work is left to the Air Force.

The focus of the military conference was not to establish naval aviation and army aviation, but to prepare to take action against the Dutch East Indies.

Previously, the Chinese Empire tactfully expressed its intention to purchase the Dutch East Indies through various channels, but all of them were rejected.

The Dutch East Indies has extremely important strategic significance for the Chinese Empire, especially the formation of a military alliance between Britain and Russia. I believe that in a few years, the five-country alliance group of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and Japan will be established.

This is a major trend in the international landscape and cannot be reversed.

Although Li Weiguo is not afraid of the five-country alliance group, he must also be fully prepared.

Once the Allies and the Allies go to war, the Netherlands will inevitably join the Allies, and the Dutch East Indies may become a bridgehead for the British Empire's Navy to enter the Asia-Pacific region.

At the same time, with the continuous growth of the industrial scale of the Chinese Empire, the dependence on oil is becoming increasingly serious. The crude oil production from Lanfangzhou, Papua Islands and Australia is in short supply. Although there are many domestic oil reserves, unfortunately the oil fields are buried too deeply, and the world's most advanced drilling equipment cannot produce oil.

Therefore, Li Weiguo had to consider that the Chinese Empire was an oil supply line.

Currently, the two largest oil bases in the world are: one is the Persian Gulf and the other is the Dutch East Indies.

Most of the Persian Gulf coasts were colonies of the British Empire. The British Royal Navy gathered a large number of troops in the region. Once the war broke out, the Chinese Empire's concessions in the region would be attacked, and the British army would cut off the Chinese Empire's oil supply as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Dutch East Indies became the oil supply base of the Chinese Empire. However, during the war, whether it was the Netherlands neutral or the British Empire, exports of oil would be prohibited.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of oil supply, Li Weiguo had to take action against the Dutch East India.

After thoroughly clearing the Dutch East Indies, the entire Asia-Pacific region except Japan will be included under the rule of the Chinese Empire.
