Chapter 569 United Nations

Great Kyoto Wuhan, Abang Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Weiguo, who had been staying in the Daming Palace in Chang'an, had to return to Kyoto to personally convene an imperial meeting to provide guidance for the cabinet and civil and military officials in formulating the next five-year development plan because he had to deal with some important international issues.

Today, the military and political work of the Chinese Empire has long been on the right track, and under normal circumstances, there is no longer any need for Li Weiguo to do everything himself.

However, the civil and military officials are still a little lazy many times, and they like to run to Li Weiguo to ask for advice.

Of course, it is a bit too much to say that they are lazy, mainly because they have developed a habit for a long time, thinking that Li Weiguo is omnipotent, wise and martial, and this is not a compliment to Li Weiguo, but a policy that the civil and military officials really trust Li Weiguo's words and designate.

In the thirty-first year since the founding of the Chinese Empire, every word and everything Li Weiguo has basically been fulfilled, so the civil and military officials are full of awe for Li Weiguo from the bottom of their hearts, and sincerely shout the four words of wisdom and martial arts to Li Weiguo.

This time, Prime Minister Fu Xuexian and the officials of the six ministries did encounter a thorny problem, although Li Weiguo gave them power and asked them to formulate their own five-year development plan, but this time the problem was very thorny, forcing them to beg to invite Li Weiguo from Chang'an Daming Palace back to Wuhan Dajing.

The problem is none other than the international problem at hand.

With the defeat and surrender of Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and Japan one after another, the entire Entente has basically been defeated.

Just half a month ago, South American countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Peru also lost their will to fight one after another, and the leaders and people of several South American countries were completely desperate for the future of the world war, and even the great powers such as Britain, France, and the United States were defeated.

Because once the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation cannot win, then the other member states of the Allied Powers will obviously not allow their little partners to lose, because this will lose face for the Allied bloc.

At that time, not only Germany, Italy, Austria and other European allies will intervene in the South American battlefield, even the Chinese Empire may not sit idly by, after all, the Brazilian Empire and Colombia are both countries that the Chinese Empire has single-handedly supported, and now the younger brother is in trouble, and the Chinese Empire, as the eldest brother, cannot help but help.

The whole world knows very well how powerful the Chinese Empire is, the world war has only been a few months after the defeat of the United States and Japan, and now as the most powerful country in the world, the economic strength is the strongest in the world, and the military strength is not an opponent even if all the other countries in the world combined, which makes countries such as Argentina, Chile and Peru, which barely supported the war, completely desperate and have no chance of victory.

As a result, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and other members of the American Entente have submitted requests for defeat to the Chinese Empire in recent days, asking the Chinese Empire to spare them.

The reason why they chose to surrender to the Chinese Empire is also because they understand that the only boss in the world is the Chinese Empire, and as long as the Chinese Empire nods and agrees, it doesn't matter if Germany and other countries oppose it.

Of course, it is impossible to let it go unconditionally, because the envoys of Argentina, Chile, Peru and other countries secretly promised the Chinese empire rich economic benefits, such as land cession, war reparations, economic opening and other conditions, in order not to be completely occupied.

Previously, as the boss of the Central Powers, the Chinese Empire had to take care of the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation, and perhaps promised to hand over the interests of South America to them to divide up, but this did not mean that the Chinese Empire did not want to meddle in South America, but it just lacked an excuse.

Now that the traditional powers of South America, such as Chile, Argentina and Peru, have successively thrown olive branches and sent big gifts to the Chinese Empire, the Cabinet and the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Chinese Empire have accepted their request for surrender in order to protect the interests of the Chinese Empire.

However, in order to have a sufficient reason, the cabinet of the Chinese Empire sent a note to the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation, telling them that Germany, Italy and Austria and other countries demanded that the world war be ended as soon as possible in order to divide the fruits of victory, and at the same time, the Chinese Empire strongly demanded that Germany, Italy and Austria maintain their existing sphere of influence and actual control area, which had aroused strong dissatisfaction among Germany, Italy and Austria.

As a result, the Chinese Empire also informed Germany, Italy and Austria that as long as they persuaded the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation to cease fire, then the Chinese Empire would start negotiations on the division of the post-war order.

Regardless of whether they believed in the Chinese Empire or not, Germany, Italy, and Austria, who had been deflated in the negotiations with the Chinese Empire, still began to exert pressure on the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation in a believing attitude.

As a result, the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Confederation were under all-round political pressure from the Chinese Empire and Germany, Italy and Austria, so they launched a final war against Argentina, Peru and Chile, intending to destroy the three countries in one fell swoop.

However, what the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation never expected was that the Chinese Empire had secretly reached an agreement with Chile, Argentina, and Peru, and the Chinese Empire secretly revealed to them the battle plan of the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federal Army, so that they could calmly deploy military forces and smash the last military operation of the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the Imperial Brazilian Army and the Federal Army of Colombia suffered heavy losses, and the Chinese Empire suspended military aid to the two countries, making it impossible for the two countries to attack Argentina, Chile, and Peru.

As a result, Argentina, Chile and Peru quickly counterattacked and regained lost ground one after another.

However, the three countries did not dare to cross the border to attack the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation, but took the opportunity to quickly and openly sue for peace.

At this time, the Chinese Empire stood up and accepted the request of the Three Kingdoms for an armistice. Although the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation were very dissatisfied, they could not find an excuse to oppose it, and at the same time they did not dare to offend the Chinese Empire, and even Germany, Italy and Austria and other countries also supported the armistice, so the Brazilian Empire and the Colombian Federation had to agree.

At the same time, the Chinese Empire secretly promised benefits to the Brazilian Empire and the Confederation of Colombia, which led to a total ceasefire and an end to the world war.

Of course, Japan knew that the government and the Roosevelt administration of the United States were still resisting, but the Chinese empire no longer regarded the resistance of the United States and Japan as a world war, but as a continuation of the world war, calling it the Japanese Civil War and the American Civil War.

Thus, the world war ended formally.

The punishment of the defeated country, the Chinese Empire naturally calculated, although the Germans and Austrians were not happy, but as long as the Chinese Empire did not go too far, they could only choose to accept it.

On the question of the division of spheres of influence in Europe, the Chinese Empire itself retained control over the British Isles, including the island of Ireland, as well as the French island of Corsica, with Iceland as a protectorate.

This was the area actually controlled by the Chinese Empire, and Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries had no objections, and they were very happy to see that the Chinese Empire did not excessively ask to meddle in the division of spheres of influence on the European continent.

However, when dividing the sphere of influence to Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries, the Chinese Empire played a trick, not handing over all the French territories to the German Empire, but dividing part of southern France to the Kingdom of Italy as compensation, Corsica as compensation, East Prussia to the eastern part of Poland to the German Empire, but dividing the southwest to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the southwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula to Italy, and the southeastern part of the Balkans and northeastern Poland to the Ottoman Empire. The intersection of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire on the territory of the Balkans and Poland deliberately left hidden dangers.

This is a deliberate drive of wedge between Germany, Italy and Austria.

However, Germany, Italy and Austria had their own ambitions, and they all wanted to occupy all the territory and swallow up the territories of the other allies. And the four countries wanted to acquire the territory of other companions, there must be a legal excuse, and this excuse could only be made by the plan of division of spheres of influence drawn up by the Chinese Empire.

With ambitions and excuses, even if they know that it is deliberately set by the Chinese Empire, the four countries of Germany, Italy and Austria do not mean to drill into it.

On the South American issue, the Chinese Empire deliberately intervened as a mediator, facilitating armistice and peace treaties between the Brazilian Empire, the Colombian Federation, Argentina, Chile, Peru and other countries, and then signed treaties with the three countries in the form of "intermediary fees".

Peru, Chile, and Argentina had no money to pay compensation, so they had to compensate the Brazilian Empire, the Colombian Federation, and the Chinese Empire for their domestic mineral resources such as gold, silver, and copper.

The world war simply ended, but the world pattern changed dramatically.

The entire Entente bloc collapsed, the British Empire, the Confederate States of America, the French Empire, and the Tsarist Russian Empire all lost their right to speak in the world, Europe became the world of Germany, Italy and Austria, and Asia, the Americas, and Australia were the spheres of influence of the Chinese Empire.

There is only one voice in the whole world, and that is the voice of the Allies.

However, the Chinese Empire deliberately set up a trap on the issue of the distribution of interests in Europe, creating contradictions between Germany, Italy and Austria, which laid a huge hidden danger of war.

The German Empire wanted to unify Europe, so Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire were the next ones to annex.

Austria-Hungary didn't matter, they had intended to incorporate the German Empire, but it was the strong opposition of the Entente that had not succeeded in doing so.

With the defeat of the Entente, Austria-Hungary also initiated the legal process of annexation to the German Empire.

The Chinese Empire strongly opposed this, but the German Empire was equally tough.

As a result, the two sides launched more than a dozen rounds of negotiations, and finally the Chinese Empire deliberately relented and acquiesced in the merger of the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. Because this would pose a serious threat to the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Russian Empire, they did not want the German Empire to unify Europe, so they began to tilt their political stance towards the Chinese Empire, and militarily began to move towards the defense of the German Empire.

In this way, the contradictions in Europe were formed, and the Chinese Empire became the driving force behind them.

In order to prevent the German Empire from unifying Europe, the Chinese Empire began to encircle the German Empire from all sides, such as the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, and the Kingdom of Spain.

The Chinese Empire would not intervene directly, but would support these countries in their confrontation with the German Empire.

A new international order was formed, with the Allied bloc led by the Chinese Empire ruling the world. At this time, the nature of the Allied bloc was already similar to that of the United Nations in later generations.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Li Weiguo, the United Nations came into being, with the member states of the Allied Powers forming permanent members, and the countries that were neutral in the world war could directly join and supervise the Entente and the whole world together.

The Chinese Empire has the sole veto power, that is, a resolution adopted by any permanent member cannot be passed as long as the Chinese Empire is against it.

Although Germany and other countries were very unhappy with the sole veto power of the Chinese Empire, they were powerless to stop it, after all, the cost of preparing for the United Nations was huge, and the Allied member states that had just ended the war could not afford it.

As a result, the United Nations headquarters was located in Honolulu, the eastern capital of Hawaii of the Chinese Empire, and the United Nations building was funded by the Chinese Empire, and the other permanent members paid their dues for the first five years.

Coupled with the strong economic strength and terrifying military strength of the Chinese Empire, Germany, Italy and Austria and other countries had no way to oppose and did not dare to offend, thus acquiescing to the Chinese Empire getting the sole veto.

It's just that Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries do not realize how important this veto is, and today's concessions will lead to Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries being seriously checked and balanced by the Chinese Empire on various key global issues in the future, and as long as the Chinese Empire is unhappy, then it will use the right of veto, forcing Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries to make concessions to the Chinese Empire on various issues.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Abang Palace in Wuhan, Kyoto, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and the question they asked Li Weiguo was the economic development of the Chinese Empire after the World War.

With the end of the world war, the world pattern has been redivided, and the main energy of all countries in the world has returned to economic construction.

The Chinese Empire was no exception, and after a detailed investigation, the Cabinet found that although the Chinese Empire had become the biggest beneficiary of the world war, it was also facing a huge economic crisis.

This is because, in order to start a world war, the industrial capacity of the Chinese Empire operated at a high speed, resulting in a large number of industrial products surplus, and the mountains of various materials in the treasury were originally to be sold to the military or sold to the allies for war, but now most places are not fighting, and the military and the allies have canceled orders, resulting in a serious backlog of materials in a large number of companies and factories, and they have to reduce production capacity and reduce workers, resulting in a large number of company closures and unemployment.

In the main hall, Li Weiguo frowned slightly after hearing this, and he began to search for a solution.

After World War I, the United States used the Marshall Plan to aid Europe, and after World War II, it launched the Cold War, waging various wars to consume these surplus materials to solve the impending economic crisis.

So the question now before Li Weiguo is, to aid Europe or to start a war? (To be continued.) )
