Nuts to these made up hypothetical, wanna be physics problems.

maximum range is when the angle is 45°
so, minimum velocity need for a given range is at 45°
Now just use your range formula using 45° to see what initial velocity has that range. That is your minimum required velocity.
Technically, a 1000km range has to include adjustments for the curvature of the earth, since it is so far.
