Chapter 1308 – Stability Trumps Everything

On the last day of the 6th month, Great Xia announced the organizational structure of South America and the personnel adjustments.

The Imperial Court decreed the division of the Brasilia Dynasty, including the Uruguay Region, into three provinces. From north to south, they were respectively the Amazon Province, the Brasilia Province, and the Uruguay Province.

Amazon and the Brasilia Province were separated by the original Brasilia City, which was now under the Amazon Province as its ruling city.

Original Minnan Province Fuyong Prefecture Governor Fang Xiaoru was promoted to Amazon Provincial Governor.

Out of the three provinces, the Amazon Province was the largest and the hardest to manage. At the same time, it had the weakest economic ability and the lowest development potential.

Of course, since Brasilia City was listed into this province, it had significant political meaning.

Even the America Governor-General House’s ruling city was chosen to be Brasilia City, signaling that this city would take over the historical duty of ruling South America.

This arrangement was also made with the aim of reducing the influence of the original dynasty to the greatest extent possible.

Ouyang Shuo had high hopes in putting Fang Xiaoru over. First, he had to open up a path between the Columbia Province and Amazon Province.

Only then could they connect the whole South America territory together.

Brasilia Province and Uruguay Province were separated by St Paulo, which was listed under the Brasilia Province and acted as the ruling city of the province.  ( NovelFull )

Between the positions of Provincial Governor and secretary-general, Rio chose Provincial Governor.

Ouyang Shuo did not express any opinions regarding this matter. He just directly gave Rio the role of Brasilia Provincial Governor. At this point, Rio became the first person to be appointed in the same place after submitting.

The only difference was his ruling region shrinking by half.

Uruguay on the south side included the south tip of the Brasilia Dynasty, the Uruguay Region, and the prefecture around Buenos Aires. The ruling city was naturally in Buenos Aires.

Such an arrangement naturally had its meaning; this allowed the Uruguay Province to have the ability to compete with the Brasilia Province. This was also Ouyang Shuo’s method to restrict the influence of Rio in the Brasilia Region.

He trusted him, but he also kept an eye on him.

This was how Ouyang Shuo usually acted.

Original Xiangnan Province Yongzhou Prefecture Governor Gu Hengxiao was promoted to Uruguay Provincial Governor.

Before submitting to Great Xia, he was also a Lord. This promotion to the Provincial Governor of such an important province was a huge leap for Gu Hengxiao.

From now on, his future was limitless.

This was how Ouyang Shuo used talents. He boldly made use of natives and Lord players, giving them chances to grow up and improve while allowing them to make a few mistakes.

Making mistakes in the game was better than making mistakes on Planet Hope.

The above three provinces along with the newly established Columbia Province formed the America Governor-General House; it was only the fifth of its kind in Great Xia and the third overseas one for them.

Original Xijiang Governor-General Wufu was shifted over.

As such, he became the first person in Great Xia’s history to have worked at two Governor-General Houses; this was destined to be recorded in the history books.

Compared to Xijiang, which was at the side and lacked life, South America was brimming with activity and potential. Although he received the same role after being moved there, it was actually a promotion for Wufu, giving him a bigger stage.

Original Shu Lands Chengdu Prefecture Governor Zheng Yi would be promoted to secretary-general.

Zheng Yi was a North Zhou high ranking official and had been a minister of the Chancellor Office. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he became the Longzhou and Jizhou governor.

Due to sickness, he died when he was on duty in Jizhou.

Ouyang Shuo chose him because of his experience in the Chancellor Office. With his ability, he would be able to assist Wufu in managing the huge America Governor-General House well.

Taking over the vacancy that Wufu left behind was original Zhongyuan Provincial Governor Feng Qiuhuang.

Ouyang Shuo had higher hopes for her than Wufu. However, he did not send her over. Although experience was one of the reasons, the more important factor was that Ouyang Shuo had other plans for her.

The Xijiang Governor-General House was just a temporary solution.

Her original position would be taken over by Guo Anbang. Guo Anbang was Old Guo and was one of the two giants of the China elite level. He had agreed to start working and had officially stepped into the Great Xia official field.

Last year, the other giant, Old Zhang, became the Great Xia civil affairs director.

Old Guo’s agreement meant that the China elite level had recognized Great Xia.

Of course, Old Guo’s appointment had far more meaning than practical use. First, Ouyang Shuo definitely could not put someone he did not understand and trust into the core of the Imperial Court.

Secondly, his age was evident, and his future potential could not be compared to AIs like Jiang Shang.

At this point, the Imperial Court’s arrangement in America came to a temporary end. Apart from the Provincial Governor level, the Prefecture Governor, county magistrates, and other levels followed the previous promise and mainly made use of locals.

Apart from that, the Administration Court moved a number of demoted prefects or county magistrates to America to help them build up the offices.

At the same time, they were also responsible for helping to spread Chinese culture.

In conclusion, Great Xia’s rule of South America had just begun, and they still had a long way to go.

…

Apart from internal affairs, military matters were also decided.

First, the navy.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th divisions of the Atlantic Squadron would frequent America. In the future, the Governor-General House would construct a navy base on the east shore of South America.  ( NovelFull )

As such, the Atlantic Squadron would do as its name suggests.

In the future, Ouyang Shuo would even consider moving the headquarters over. Once the European battlefield came to a conclusion, the main role of the Atlantic Squadron in the Mediterranean would be to protect ships.

If there were truly war needs, they could specifically build a Mediterranean Squadron.

If not, with just the Atlantic Squadron, managing the vast Atlantic Ocean while interfering in the Mediterranean ocean battle was impossible.

The Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea region had long been under the Indian Ocean Squadron. At the same time, with the help of the America warzone, the Atlantic Squadron had taken down the Lesser Antilles Islands and was now attacking the Greater Antilles Islands.

Due to the Greater Antilles being the gate to the Gulf of Mexico, and the gulf was the door to the Dawson Dynasty, it was not so easy to conquer.

The Dawson Dynasty would definitely defend it with their life. Ouyang Shuo had made preparations to fight a longm drawn out battle. He ordered the America warzone and the Pacific Squadron to nibble away at them, advancing slowly. He did not hope to end it in one battle.

Attacking the Greater Antilles Islands itself was a threat to the Dawson Dynasty.

After establishing the America Governor-General House, the defensive regions of the three legion corps in the warzone became really clear. The North America legion corps was housed in Columbia Province, and the South America legion corps managed the Amazon Province, Brasilia Province, and Uruguay Province.

As for the Tiger legion corps, they would temporarily be housed in Brasilia Province. After all, the Brasilia Dynasty had just submitted, and there were many uncertain factors. They needed to have a huge army to defend and take charge to work with the offices and clear out problems.

Once the America situation settled down, the Tiger legion corps would move based on their mission.

Lastly, it was how to deal with the 550 thousand Brasilia Army, which was also the toughest part. Luckily, the Privy Court proposed an interesting plan that Ouyang Shuo approved.
