Ottawa, the capital of Canada

The Parliament of the Self-Government of Canada was engaged in a fierce quarrel, and the after-effects of the defeat of this war came, and the resolution of the Sofia Peace Conference was very unfavorable to them, this time not only to pay reparations, but also to cede land.

Although Canada had declared independence from the British Commonwealth, the Canadian self-government had sent troops to South Africa and pilots to the British Isles during the war.

These have become the reasons for the Holy Alliance to hold them accountable for the war, and if they don't take off their skin, they don't want to get out.

"Silence!"

"Silence!"

Speaker Peter Cole's voice rang out, and the councillor finally fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are aware of the Sofia Peace Conference resolution, Bulgaria has made territorial claims to us.

After the delegation's struggle, the Bulgarians agreed to renounce their territorial claims to Labrador and Newfoundland.

But they still have a lot of interest in the Queen Elizabeth Islands, the Parry Islands, Baffin Island, Victoria Island, Southampton Islands, and the Queen Charlotte Islands...... Forever keep in mind.

In the evening of yesterday, the Bulgarian government gave an ultimatum either to cede the islands mentioned above, or to pay war reparations of five hundred billion leva, and they renounced their territorial claims! ”

There is a third way, but Peter Cole did not say it, so continue the war.

Obviously, it is impossible to continue fighting, but Canada has sent people to Japan to conduct field investigations, and the materials brought back are still terrifying to recall them.

"What? Five billion leva, why don't they grab it? One of the lawmakers immediately roared

Canada's population is now just over 10 million, which means that it has to bear a huge debt of nearly 5,000 leva per capita, which is the gross domestic product of the Dominion of Canada for two years.

The Canadian government's current fiscal revenues are not enough to pay the interest on the 50 billion leva indemnity, and even if they are willing to give money, they will not be able to come up with it.

Don't think that's the end of it, the problem is that these 50 billion are not all the war reparations. The Commonwealth was defeated this time, and all Dominions had to share their debts with the Mainland, even if they were already independent.

Although the exact amount is still being discussed, rumors have already come out that the Dominion of Canada will have to work hard to repay its debts for decades to come.

"Rob, is that easy? Even if all our cities were to be ransacked, it would be impossible to snatch out 50 billion leva! Another lawmaker scoffed

"This simply doesn't give us a choice, and sure enough, it's the offspring of polar bears who inherited their greed!"

"Since they want land, give it to them, it's a wilderness anyway, and we have decided that we can't accept their blackmail!"

……

The crowd was talking endlessly, but no one could come up with a solution.

"Silence!"

"The time has come to decide the fate of Canada, and every member of parliament is invited to cast his sacred vote, this time by secret ballot.

Pick up your pen and write down the answer in your mind, whether it is to cede the land, pay reparations, or fight another battle with the Holy Alliance! Peter Cole said solemnly

There is no way, the newly independent Canadian government does not yet have a strong central government.

The provisional government is the Dominion government that has changed its vest, and in order not to become war criminals, the top leaders have gone to Sofia to operate.

The current vote is undoubtedly to make the parliament take responsibility for ceding the territory.

Don't look at everyone making a fuss, in fact, many people are relieved in their hearts, and what they are most afraid of is that there is no result, which means that the Holy Alliance will directly turn Canada into a colony.

Now they have to cede some of the islands in the Arctic Ocean, they don't have to feel the pain, these areas are only nominally Canada's, in fact they don't really rule at all.

In the midst of the chaos, on September 24, 1941, the Canadian Parliament voted to approve the Bulgarian territorial claim.

……

"Your Majesty, the Canadians have agreed to all of our demands, but Odalia is in trouble, now they are just a Japanese colony!" Coleman said embarrassedly

The Japanese government surrendered, but the later territorial handover was still underway, and the Holy Alliance had not yet had time to take over Australia.

Australia is now in a very awkward position, they once belonged to the British Commonwealth, they belonged to the defeated country.

In the war, the British ceded Australia to the Japanese, which belonged to the Japanese colony, and now it is the Japanese colonial government that rules Australia, or the defeated country.

There are now two governments in Australia, one is the former Austrian Autonomous Government, which is currently fighting guerrilla warfare in the hinterland, and the other is the Japanese colonial government.

Everyone is busy with the Sofia Peace Conference, and Australia has not yet been positioned, and their legitimacy is still unknown. Even if it were to negotiate with Odalia, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry did not know who to turn to.

According to the meaning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is to recognize the Japanese colonial government, and then treat it as the spoils of the Holy Alliance, and directly annex it.

"Did the former Austrian self-government send someone to the meeting?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

If no representatives are sent, then they can be ignored.

"Your Majesty, the former Australian Self-Government has also sent a delegation, because their status is currently unknown and they have not yet been accepted by the Holy Alliance!" Coleman thought for a moment and said

"Damn it!" Little Ferdinand rubbed his forehead

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to worry about this, as long as the Autonomous Government of Austria does not exist, then we don't have to worry about it!" Coleman whispered

Little Ferdinand's eyes lit up, yes, as long as this Australian self-government no longer exists, then Australia is a complete colony.

"I'll leave this matter to you, deal with all the resistance forces as much as possible, and I will order the coalition forces to delay the takeover of Australia!" Ferdinand Jr. said in a deep voice

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Coleman replied calmly

Unbeknownst to them, it was this decision that caused the world-shattering Australian tragedy, which killed millions of Otalians.

"Your Majesty, after the war, our colonies are too scattered, if we want to be incorporated into the mainland in the future, we need to make adjustments, and the cabinet has decided to replace some of the colonies in Africa with Portugal, Belgium, and France!" Prime Minister Tolsky spoke

"How to exchange, and what if they don't agree?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

Centralizing the colonies is certainly a good thing, which will make it easier to rule and save administrative overhead.

"Your Majesty, we can exchange Liberia and Ghana for the Portuguese Mozambique, support Belgium for Malaysia in exchange for their colonies in Africa, and Nigeria for the French island of Madasgar!

If they don't agree to the land deal, we can buy the said area with money, presumably not much! Tolsky said confidently

Ferdinand Jr. opened the map and looked at it carefully, once these land deals were concluded, from Libya, Chad, and Cameroon to the demarcation line of the Protectorate colonies.

"Well, the government is going to promote this plan, and I guess they won't refuse our kindness!" Ferdinand Jr. pondered for a moment and said

Now is the time when Bulgaria is in full swing, and no one wants to oppose them as long as it does not harm their own interests.

Economically, they didn't suffer a loss in this colonial deal. From a strategic point of view, after the exchange of colonies, a direct conflict with Bulgaria could be avoided, and no one could refuse.

……

On December 2, 1941, the Sofia Peace Conference finally came to an end, with France, West Russia, and Austria-Hungary dividing up India, with the Spaniards gaining Burma, the Belgians gaining Malaysia, and Finland gaining Guyana.

The rest of the European countries can only play soy sauce, and the treatment of active participation in the war and passive participation in the war is completely different, and Ferdinand Jr. is very clear in this regard.

In the later period, they were forced to participate in the war in Switzerland, Portugal, Denmark, Norway and other countries, except for a little war reparations, the colonies had nothing to do with them.

Poland, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, which fell in the early stage, were naturally not qualified to divide the spoils, and Belgium originally had to play soy sauce, but because of the deal with Bulgaria, it was only because of the deal with Bulgaria that it was compensated by Malaysia.

In the following war reparations, the amount of reparations calculated in advance will not be changed, but considering the actual situation, the defeated countries cannot afford to pay so much money, so the method of reparations has been changed.

Within 100 years after the war, Britain, Germany, and Japan were to pay 18.3 percent of their fiscal revenues each year as war reparations to the victorious countries.

For example, the reparations of the Germans were mainly divided between France, Western Russia, and Austria-Hungary, and Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, and Luxembourg also received a part.

Bulgaria only symbolically drew a point from this war reparation, because the Bulgarian air force had participated in the war against Germany, and this was the spoils they deserved.

For example, the reparations of the British were mainly received by Bulgaria, Spain, and France, and other countries that had sent pilots to the war could also share a share, of which Bulgaria received the lion's share.

The other defeated countries in the latter were also dealt with, and according to the actual situation, the allies who did not participate in the war naturally did not have war reparations.

The defeated countries in the Americas, who fought hard at the Sofia Peace Conference, still had to pay 5 percent of their financial revenues as war reparations, and taught them a good lesson with facts, and the team did not stand in chaos.

Of course, if within a hundred years, the governments of various countries have paid off the total amount of war reparations in advance, then it will end early.

However, considering the war reparations, interest is also calculated, and unless the economies of various countries are closed after the war, it will be difficult for them to pay off their debts in advance.

In the same way, if countries have not paid off their debts in a hundred years, the time will come and the remaining war reparations will be wiped out.
