In the Second Global War, the surrender of Britain was one of the most significant events in the post-war world. It can be said that the surrender of Britain not only finally determined the post-war situation in Europe and the relationship between the Tang Empire and Germany, but also produced a series of political and diplomatic measures implemented by the Tang Empire to help the world restore the economy after the war. And this can be traced back to the surrender of the British.

The first is the post-war situation in Europe. Britain was the last country in Europe to surrender, and by this time, the situation in Europe had been largely decided. With the exception of England, Portugal, and parts of Spain and Italy, the whole of Europe (in the geopolitical sense of mainland Europe, not in the actual geographical sense of Europe) was already under German control. At that time, with the exception of the European part of the Persian Empire, Germany and the German occupation zone accounted for 70% of the total area of Europe, and the population of this region also accounted for 70% of the total population of Europe. In other words, most of Europe is already under the control of Germany, and Germany has become the hegemon of the new land in Europe.

If Britain is also occupied by Germany, then there is no country in Europe that can compete with Germany, Portugal cannot be Germany's opponent, Spain, Italy, and Russia are not Germany's competitors, and France, which has been trampled by the German subway hooves, has long lost the opportunity to become a great power. Outcome. It is precisely because Britain is still alone overseas that it finally stopped Germany from rushing out of Europe and going to the world. It was precisely because of the existence of Britain that the Germans had to focus more on Britain after the war, rather than competing with the Tang Empire for world hegemony.

The importance of Britain is self-evident, and it is precisely because the Tang Empire has long known the importance of Britain in Europe that it wants to control Britain at all costs. At the beginning, Prime Minister Xue Xiyue, in addition to making every effort to win the "unilateral surrender" of Britain to the Tang Empire, and prescribing conditions sufficient for Britain to maintain a strong position after the war, even secretly acquiesced to the Imperial Navy to prevent the German army from entering Britain by force. That is, if at that time the German Airborne Forces were going to force a breakthrough through the English Channel . Conducting airborne ground speech over the British mainland, Tan Renhao will not be blamed by the prime minister for any interception measures taken, but just in line with the prime minister's requirements. Other than that. In a secret phone call with the German Prime Minister, Prime Minister Xue Xiyue repeatedly hinted at the use of force to safeguard the fundamental interests of the Tang Empire in Britain, and this is exactly what happened. In the end, the German prime minister was very cautious when making relevant decisions, and did not dare to rashly enter into a military conflict with the Tang Empire.

When the British surrendered. Most of its towns, military bases, and industrial facilities were bombed into ruins. Judging from the statistical results of the Tang Empire at that time, throughout the Great War, the Luftwaffe. and the expeditionary air force of the Tang Empire destroyed a total of 2,100,000 buildings, and more than eighty percent of the industrial facilities in the British mainland. More than 70 percent of military installations and about 60 percent of civilian buildings were blown up. Or was it once blown up. If the bombing had continued for another year, or if the U.S. aid had not been so comprehensive, Britain would have been bombed back into the Stone Age. It can be said that it was not the Imperial Navy that really destroyed Britain and forced Britain to surrender, but the continuous strategic bombing from 24 years.

In order for Britain to be able to compete with Germany after the war, and to contain the pace of Germany. Then it is necessary to allow the British economy to recover quickly, so that Britain has an army that is not weak. Thus having the ability to confront Germany. Most importantly, and most crucially, it is necessary to revive the British economy first after the war.

As early as the defeat of Japan, there was a proposal in the Imperial Cabinet government to help Japan recover its economy and reduce the amount of land aid provided to Japan. This plan was proposed by a high-ranking official of the Ministry of the Interior, who made a detailed calculation in his proposal and concluded that it would be much more cost-effective to help Japan recover its economy than it would be for the Imperial Government to raise tens of millions of Japanese at the expense of the Imperial Government, and that it would bring more benefits to the Empire in the future. But the question is. At that time, Prime Minister Xue Xiyue had not read this proposal at all, and even if he did, he would not have paid attention to it.

At the time of Japan's defeat, the war between the Empire and the United States was entering a critical period, and the Empire was not required to take on greater obligations in Japan in addition to sending essential food and other daily necessities to Japan. In addition, it is debatable whether Japan has withdrawn from the war since the Japanese government had gone into exile in the United States before the war. Most importantly. Historically, the Tang Empire used several words to help Japan carry out economic construction, and Japan was able to enter the industrial age by relying on the assistance of the Tang Empire, but as a result, Japan used the help of the Tang Empire several times to challenge the Tang Empire after developing strong, wanting to defeat the Tang Empire and become the hegemon of the western Pacific, which eventually led to the Tang Empire being dragged into the global war twice, and both times it took great effort to defeat Japan. So when Japan was defeated again . Prime Minister Xue Xiyue will certainly not think about helping Japan recover its economy first, or even put the Japanese economy in the affairs that the imperial government needs to deal with.

On the eve of the defeat of the British. That is, at the end of 26, when there was no suspense about the British defeat soon, General Shi Xuexing, who had commanded the Imperial Expeditionary Force and established a major meritorious place on the Russian battlefield, put forward a plan to help Britain restore its economy, which is the famous "Shi Zhixing Plan".

In fact, the "Shi Gengxing Plan" was not proposed by Shi Gengxing alone, but was crystallized by the cooperation of many officers in the Army Command at that time. In this plan, Shi expounded in detail the importance of helping defeated countries recover economically, and at the same time, with his in-depth knowledge of Western countries, he proved that it is better to help former enemies and make them allies than to suppress them. It's much better to always be an enemy of the Empire. Furthermore. The plan also details ways and means to help the UK get back to economic recovery, and what should be done at each step. Finally, Shi proposed the formation of a military and political alliance bloc. In order to control the defeated countries that have received Imperial assistance, and eventually become allies of the Empire, rather than enemies of the Empire.

The core idea of this plan is to replace suppression with aid, and through the restoration of the economy, the world can quickly get rid of the influence of war and enter a relatively peaceful period, so as to reduce the pressure on the empire, and will also enhance the international status of the empire, and finally the empire will become the hegemon of the new world with Huairou. This strategy is the same as the Empire's pre-ground ground grounds. It can be said that since the colonial era, the empire has always used "fists" to convince the enemy, and after experiencing the glory of the early stage, the wandering of the middle period, and the pain of the later period, it is finally realized that it is impossible to rule the world with only "fists". It can be said that . The second global war was not only a continuation of the "War of the Tang Dynasty", but also a war that brought about a fundamental change in the foreign policy of the Tang Empire, and the "Shi Qixing Plan" marked this change.

Unlike three years ago, this time, Xue Xiyue carefully read the plan submitted by the Army Command. At the time, the Prime Minister was in need of a solution to the British problem. Subsequently, Xue Xiyue summoned Shi Qixing, and after talking with Shi Qixing for several hours, Xue Xiyue basically adopted Shi Qixing's proposal and asked Shi Qixing to set up a special organization within the Army Command to prepare for work related to the organization. Later, Shi Qixing became the commander of the army after Yan Dingyu, and led the "Postwar World Economic Recovery Plan", which was the place where the empire was promoted. At that time, Xue Xiyue did not let Shi Xuxing take immediate action, first, the war was not over, and the plan could not only be aimed at Britain, a defeated country, the most important thing was that this was just a plan, and many details had not been solved, and it would take time.

After the war, Britain was the first to receive economic aid from the Empire, and was one of the largest recipients of aid. To a large extent. It was precisely because of the economic aid of the Empire that Britain was able to quickly emerge from the shadow of the war, and its economy developed rapidly. Within a decade of the war, the British economy returned to pre-war levels, and by the end of the 40s, it became the second largest economic power in Europe and the fifth largest in the world. At the same time, relations between the Tang Empire and Britain also improved rapidly. With the signing of the relevant military and political alliance treaties between the Tang Empire and Britain, Britain became the most important ally of the Tang Empire in Europe and the North Atlantic, and also became the most important ally of the Tang Empire in the world. What is even more unbelievable is that the Tang Empire spent more than 100 years colonizing Britain in the end, but as a result, it was not able to assimilate the British. However, in just 30 years after the end of World War II, the local culture of the Tang Empire penetrated deep into British society and became the mainstream culture of Britain. It was this cultural identity that deepened the Tang Empire's alliance with the British, and ultimately made Britain the most stable and loyal ally of the Tang Empire after the Great War.

The beneficiaries of the Post-War World Economic Recovery Plan are not just Britain, nor are they just defeated countries. Countries including Germany and the Persian Empire have become beneficiaries. Although Germany and the Tang Empire quickly parted ways after the war, the successful experience in Britain made the Tang Empire realize. A stable economic order is the basis for maintaining peace in the world. Germany was not excluded from the development of the relevant aid programmes. After all, the recovery of the German economy is a key force to prevent Germany from entering a direct confrontation with the Tang Empire, or even the outbreak of war. In the end, even Japan, a country that was spurned by the Tang Empire, received considerable assistance and thus recovered its economy.

While adopting the policy of softness, there must also be a strong enough force to maintain the world order of the new earth. Military strength is naturally very important, which is also the main reason why the Tang Empire did not immediately disarm on a large scale after the war. It is not enough to rely on the military power of a country alone. Therefore, in the post-war . The Tang Empire set about forming two military-political alliances. One is the "Songjiang West Pacific Treaty Organization," or "Western Treaty Organization," which is centered on the western Pacific Ocean, and the other is the "North Atlantic Military Treaty Organization," or "NATO," which is centered on the North Atlantic.

Both of these military and political alliances were established after the war, and according to geographical division, the allies during the war and the defeated countries controlled by the Tang Empire were divided into two groups. Although within the League. The Tang Empire is the absolute core, and mainly relies on the military strength of the Tang Empire to maintain the collective security of the alliance and realize the collective interests of the alliance. To a large extent, these were two alliance blocs, each of which enjoyed sufficient benefits and assumed the obligations set forth in the treaty of alliance. Subsequently, Germany formed a similar alliance, and the Tang Empire merged the two alliances. More than 30 member countries signed the "Pan-Pacific and Atlantic Military Alliance Treaty" in Songjiang, the territory of the Tang Empire, referred to as the "Songjiang Group", and this became the beginning of the "Cold War". Of course, that's all for later.

It can be seen that whether it is the post-war economic aid operation or the establishment of a military-political alliance bloc, these are all starting from the United Kingdom. It was when the Tang Empire accepted the British surrender in early 27 years and began to think about how to reorganize the post-war world order that these aspects were taken into account, and finally took action.

On a global scale, it was Britain's post-war position that eventually allowed the Tang Empire to become a true world hegemon by acknowledging the interests of other countries. At the same time, it also finally developed the pace of the Germans, so that Germany lost the ability to compete with the Tang Empire for world hegemony in the world.

Within the limits of Europe. Great Britain made it impossible for Germany to succeed in unifying the whole of Europe, and because Portugal, Spain, Italy, Russia and other countries worked together. In the end, Germany had to abandon the idea of annexing other countries, and after the war, it recognized the independence of France, Italy, Spain, Russia and other countries. Even if Germany still has a large number of troops stationed in these countries in the end, and maintains the ability to intervene in these countries through the establishment of military and political alliances, Germany has not completed the unification of Europe, and Europe is still fragmented, and it is impossible to become a unified world power that can compete with the Tang Empire.

In fact, the experience gained in solving the British problem was later applied to the United States. and had a great impact on the foreign policy of the Tang Empire. These effects will be felt after the war. From this point of view, the significance of Britain is even more significant, the Tang Empire did not fall into the previous reincarnation, and finally recognized as the world's number one power, and became an absolute force to maintain world stability and peace.
