The establishment of the Provisional Government of Panama was quickly decided, a multi-representative government and only a transitional government. It is only responsible for the administration of Panama during the war, and after the war, the president of Xindi will be determined through a general election, and the president will form a government. As a result, the interim government did not have a president, and there was no government army, only a police force that was responsible for maintaining order in the interior of Panama. In addition, all laws in Panama were temporarily abolished, and until a formal government was formed, everything was subject to the military laws of the Tang Empire.

This provisional government is mainly composed of representatives from five quarters. The first is a government official in exile, the second is a former Panamanian government official, the third is a high-ranking officer of the Panamanian "Freedom and Liberation" guerrillas, and the fourth is a representative of the Panamanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in exile in other countries. Finally, there are the representatives of the people in Panama. This can be said to be a hodgepodge, Tan Renhao also came up with this method in the absence of a way, anyway, the prime minister wants a government that can make Panama no civil unrest before the end of the war, and such a government also just meets the requirements of all parties, so that Panama can survive the war period smoothly.

The problem of Panama was much more serious than Tan Renhao imagined, and in fact, it was an extremely difficult problem that the Tang Empire faced in the later stages of the war.

If it had been two or three hundred years ago, perhaps the Tang Empire would not have faced such a problem. At the beginning, the Tang Empire dominated the whole world, and the combined forces of all other countries were not as strong as the Tang Empire. Therefore, no country can challenge the Tang Empire, it can threaten the Tang Empire. But now, the Tang Empire must consider this issue, winning the war is not the same as controlling the whole world. And the Tang Empire does not have the ability to control the whole world again.

This is a fact that has to be accepted, as can be seen from a statistic decades later. Ten years after the war. The total economic output of the Tang Empire accounted for 42% of the total global economy, and by the twentieth year after the war, this proportion had dropped to 37%, and by the thirtieth year after the war, it had dropped to 33%, and before the outbreak of the Great War, this proportion was about 31%. Can be reprinted in Zhua ~ Xia Zhong%.

This is also the first time that Xue Xiyue realized that before the Tang Dynasty 1000 years ago, the Tang Empire's local economy had always accounted for more than half of the world's total economy. At its peak, it even accounted for more than seventy percent of the world's total economy. As you can imagine. How powerful the Tang Empire was in those days. However, with the rise of other powers, especially the completion of the industrialization process in many countries, the international status of the Tang Empire has been declining. Although the Tang Empire has always been the world's number one economic power, it is no longer possible for the Tang Empire to dominate the whole world by overwhelming all other countries. At the beginning, the Western powers united against the Tang Empire and fought with the Tang Empire for 100 years. It is precisely because the European powers were the first to catch up economically. Later, Japan fought against the Tang Empire for several more decades, also because Japan entered the era of industrialization and was strongly supported by the Western powers. It can be said that . The level of a country's status is determined by its economic level, and if it does not have a strong enough economy, it cannot become a strong enough country!

Perhaps, at the end of the war, the Tang Empire can get the opportunity to dominate the world, but this time will never last long. And this is true, and far-sighted politicians have long anticipated it. If the Tang Empire wanted to rely on victory in the war to dominate the world again. Then there is only one result, hostility with all countries and nations in the world, and being knocked to the ground in the third global war, thus completely losing the status of global hegemony, and may even be reduced to a second-rate power. Xue Xiyue also took this possibility into account, so when he was about to win the war, Xue Xiyue's first consideration was how to establish the post-war world order.

For all the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Empire. Maybe they're dreaming of returning to the prosperity of the past and becoming the world hegemon again. However, as a politician, Xue Xiyue had to give up this feeling, and he had to be more realistic. It is impossible for the Tang Empire to dominate the world after the war, so it can only take a step back, but regression means the loss of the fundamental interests of the empire, and finding a suitable balance between the two, or an effective way to reconcile the contradictions between the two, is a major matter that tests politicians.

Then. The only way to prevent the Tang Empire from becoming hostile to the whole world because of its monopoly on the whole world, and at the same time to protect the interests of the Tang Empire to the greatest extent, is to establish an international organization with a high degree of authority after the war, in which all countries, including those defeated countries, participate, and this international organization will deal with international disputes and resolve contradictions between countries. More crucially, this international organization must be controlled by the Tang Empire, or at least biased towards it. Otherwise, this organization itself will become a threat to the Tang Empire.

End of 26. Xue Xiyue put forward the idea of establishing an "international alliance" at the "Tehran Conference", that is, the second plenary meeting of the alliance during the war. That is, after the war, an international organization was established with the Allied bloc as the main body, with a wide range of other countries involved, and this organization was responsible for handling international affairs. At the time, this was only an assumption and was not included in the formal agenda because of serious disagreements over the terms of reference of the institution and whether the defeated countries should be included.

In the 27th year, at the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Allied Territories held in Colombo, the Imperial Foreign Minister conceived this idea and came up with a formal plan for the establishment of the agency. At that time, the most opposition was mainly Germany. And what Germany is worried about is. If defeated countries such as Britain and France also participate in the agency. Then it would not be possible for Germany to play a leading role in Europe. In the eyes of the Germans, this was proposed by the Tang Empire in order to contain Germany. Thus, the main disagreement between the Tang Empire and Germany centered on whether or not to absorb the defeated powers.

Then. The Persian Empire was also less interested in the Tang Empire's proposal to form an "international alliance", mainly because the Persian Empire was a multi-ethnic state, and the dominant Persians accounted for only about 30% of the country's population, and there were several ethnic groups, such as the Arabs. The proportion of Egyptians is very large. These peoples have been fighting for independence, and if this institution is formed, it is very likely that the Persian Empire will not be able to control the separatist forces in the country, which will eventually lead to the division of the country. However, because the Tang Empire has always been the largest ally of the Persian Empire, and has historically opposed the independence of other peoples. Therefore, the Persian Empire did not directly oppose it.

And so it was, because Germany was strongly opposed. The Persian Empire was uncooperative, and at this meeting of foreign ministers, the Allied bloc did not agree on the establishment of an international body after the war.

By the middle of '27, the Confederates had gained significant . As far as the Reich is concerned, it is imperative to establish an international body after the war as soon as possible. Then. The contradictions between the Tang Empire and Germany had been exposed, and the Tang Empire did not want Germany to dominate Europe. Through European countries. The contradiction between various nationalities to contain the development and growth of Europe was the basic national policy of the Tang Empire for hundreds of years, and it can be said that before the emergence of the United States, this was the basic policy of the Tang Empire towards European issues. Germany did not want to see the Tang Empire dominate the world. If it is not possible to set up an international organization with a high degree of authority after the war to balance and resolve the contradictions between countries, then the third global war is likely to break out between the Tang Empire and Germany!

Time in June. He visited Germany and the Persian Empire in the hope of using his influence to make concessions to the two most important allies. Xue Xiyue did not gain much in Berlin. The German Chancellor only agreed to negotiate the formation of an "international alliance", but did not set the ultimate goal. In Tehran, Xue Xiyue had to make huge concessions in order to gain the support of the Persian land, and promised that the Tang Empire would continue to oppose the separatist activities in the Persian land, and would assist the Persian Empire in fighting separatism in the country. only to receive limited support from the Persian Empire.

Shortly after Xue Xiyue returned to China. The Allied bloc made arrangements for the establishment of an "international alliance" for negotiations. The first round of negotiations was scheduled for October 27. At that time, the Tang Empire was preparing the relevant conference arrangements. The first round of meetings will be held in the capital of the Tang Empire. When Tan Renhao and the others successfully laid down the Panama Canal, Xue Xiyue immediately saw that this was an opportunity for other countries to agree to form an "international alliance", because for Germany, the Panama Canal is very important, and for many other countries. The Panama Canal is very important. Therefore, the issue of the jurisdiction of the Panama Canal has become a trump card in Xue Xiyue's hands. It is precisely because of this that Xue Xiyue did not let the government come forward directly. Instead, the army was put in charge of Panamanian politics, which gave him more leeway in future negotiations. Can be reprinted in Zhua ~ Xia Zhong%.

Through the question of the jurisdiction of the Panama Canal, more countries were involved in the war. For example, Brazil, the largest country in South America, has always maintained neutrality in the war, and now the Tang Empire's army has captured the Panama Canal, which is actually equivalent to cutting the rope of the United States to control South America, and Brazil's attitude has changed definitely. Like Brazil, several other South American countries have sided with the Allied bloc and have supported the establishment of an international condominium over the jurisdiction of the Panama Canal. And to make the Panama Canal an international condominium. A corresponding international organization would have to be established to exercise jurisdiction.

As a large number of neutral countries began to support the Tang Empire's proposal, and successively expressed their willingness to participate in the "international alliance", and began preparations for entering the battlefield. Germany's attitude soon softened, this kind of strong international political pressure is something that the Germans have to pay attention to, if all the neutral countries stand on the side of the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire can completely abandon Germany to set up an international organization, when the time comes. Germany doesn't even have a chance to speak, so how can it defend its national interests? But the Germans are not stupid, if everything goes according to the Tang Empire, then Germany will only be a second-rate country after the war. And it will never be possible to dominate European affairs, much less to unite Europe under the German flag. Therefore, the Germans were quick to come up . Now that the Panama Canal has become an international condominium, the Suez Canal, as well as several other important maritime chokepoints, should become an international condominium. Including the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Gibraltar, the English Channel and many more.

The Germans did take Xue Xiyue's army, and if these regions became international condominiums, it would be impossible for the Tang Empire to control the whole world through international institutions, and it would definitely allow other countries to rise rapidly, and even trigger a wave of national independence around the world. Before the first round of negotiations, the Tang Empire held several rounds of secret consultations with representatives of the German government, and in the end both sides made concessions, and Germany supported the establishment of an international organization on the basis of the establishment of an international condominium zone, and the international condominium zone was only for artificial canals, not for other natural straits. As a result, the Suez Canal will also become an international condominium.

This is where the "United Nations" comes from." The name "United Nations" was voted on by the Allied Powers and the other first neutral countries to join, after all, the name "League of Nations" is a bit old-fashioned, and its political connotation is not very good. As for the establishment of the United Nations, that's a matter for later. Ultimately. The United Nations did not become an international authority that could be controlled by the Tang Empire and serve the interests of the Tang Empire as Xue Xiyue envisioned, but with the rise of Germany and the rapid recovery of other defeated countries after the war, especially the United States, it became a stage for great power confrontation, and eventually inevitably lost its authority and became an ornamental institution. However, the role of the United Nations in the stability and development of the post-war world cannot be ignored, and at the same time, the United Nations has prevented the Tang Empire from becoming an enemy of the world, which is also undeniable.

Tan Renhao didn't expect that so many things would be caused from the Panama issue. At least he didn't think at the time that the Tang Empire would not control the whole world in the same way after the war, and perhaps every Tang Empire's military and civilians did not think of this. As far as Tan Renhao is concerned, everything he did at that time was only for the purpose of the war, after all, in Panama, there was a need for a government that could exercise the rights of the state normally, and similarly, he needed such a government to cooperate with the imperial army.
