With the end of the Second Shijie War, the three victorious giants of Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union began to intrigue with each other, and the division of interests among the three defeated countries of Germany, Italy and Japan became the stage for the first contest of the three giants.

Because the Tang Empire played an infernal role throughout World War II, first with the alliance with Germany and Italy, and then with the United States and the Soviet Union, this put the original enemies of the Tang Empire, Britain, France, and Japan, in a very awkward position.

Britain and France were fortunate because of the relationship of American patronage, which allowed the two countries to participate in the post-war distribution of interests as victorious countries, while Japan was sad. Originally, Japan was allied with Britain and France, but it was defeated by the Tang Empire, and finally surrendered unconditionally, and the mainland was occupied by the Tang army.

When the United States entered the war, the Japanese once thought that the Tang Empire would not have a good life, but they never thought that the Tang Empire was so cheeky that it abandoned Germany and Italy and changed to an alliance with the United States.

The war trial against Japan was completely dominated by the Tang Empire, and the four countries of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, as well as other allies, directly recognized the results of the Tang Empire's trial. However, on the German-Italian issue, Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union tried their best to squeeze out the Tang Empire and prevent the Tang Empire from obtaining more benefits from Germany and Italy.

In fact, at the end of World War II, the economy of Germany and Italy had collapsed, and most of the wealth was earned by the Tang Empire, and the wealth that Hitler and Mussolini plundered throughout Europe and Africa was basically spent on the purchase of various weapons and equipment and strategic materials of the Tang Empire, and there was little left after the defeat. Even the looting of the Berlin vault was done by the Tang army, and the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France got almost nothing.

As for Germany's high-tech talents and jishu materials, most of them were also looted by the Tang Army. The United States and the Soviet Union did not grab much, so they naturally harbored a grudge.

Fortunately, the Tang Empire was not interested in the military occupation of Germany and Italy, and was only used as a bargaining chip. When the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France twisted into a rope and demanded that the Tang Empire share the German army's missiles, atomic bombs, space, biochemistry and other information on the grounds that evidence was needed to try German war criminals, the Tang Empire resolutely refused to share it, and in order to appease other countries, it took the initiative to abandon the military occupation of Germany. The Don Army was about to withdraw.

The four countries of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, which were still twisted into a rope, were a little surprised to learn that the Tang army was going to withdraw from Europe, but even more were happy. But. All parties wanted to get the areas occupied by the Tang Army, so they became a bargaining chip for the diplomacy of the Tang Empire, and the Soviet Union was the first to say that it would no longer ask the Tang Empire to share those jishu materials, and the United States, Britain and France also panicked. The USSR did not want half of Germany under the control of the Don Army. So there was no choice but to make concessions.

In this way, the Tang Empire divided half of Berlin into two parts, one to the Soviet Union and one to the United States, just so that the United States and the Soviet Union each occupied half and was in a state of equilibrium. At the same time, the rest of Germany controlled by the Don Army was similarly distributed, eventually dividing Germany into two parts. Part of it was given to the Soviet army for occupation, and part to the American army.

The Don Army withdrew from German-Italian territory. Jumping out of the encirclement of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, and instead strengthening the military presence of colonial territories in the periphery of Europe, and strategically continuing to encircle Europe.

With the withdrawal of the Tang Army, the American, Soviet, British, and French armies had been vigilant against the Tang Army, but they had lost their targets at the moment. However, the Soviet army occupied a huge amount of land in Europe, and the Soviet army took advantage of the war damage in Europe and the misery of the people's lives as an opportunity to establish red regimes in most European countries, which made the old capitalist countries such as the United States, Britain, and France very nervous.

In the face of the expansion of the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France temporarily forgot about the Tang Empire and turned to deal with the Soviet Union with all their might to prevent Europe from falling into the hands of the Soviet Union.

In this way, the United States and the Soviet Union gradually moved towards confrontation, while the Tang Empire jumped out of the circle and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

In the Daming Palace, the Tang Empire held a grand state banquet to celebrate the victory of the war, and Cai Zhenghua, Minister of National Defense, expressed his confusion about the withdrawal of the Tang army from Europe and asked Zhang Meng to solve his doubts.

Zhang Meng said with a smile: "Now the shijie pattern should be a three-legged situation between the three countries of Tang, the United States and the Soviet Union, the West and the Soviet Union are irreconcilable antagonisms, they can help each other to become allies during the war, and after the war they will move towards a full-scale confrontation, which is a matter of time." And our Tang Empire's military strength and economic strength are deeply feared by all countries, we forced the Soviet Union to sell the Far East, forced Britain and France to accept our occupation of their colonies, the empire is actually their common enemy, if we don't have the atomic bomb as a super weapon, they will definitely be the first to unite against us now, they only need to say that we were once the aggressors with the German-Italian alliance is enough to gag the mouth of the whole Shijie. ”

Cai Zhenghua nodded and said: "The United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France chose to temporarily forbear because they could not defeat the empire militarily, and at this time, the withdrawal of the imperial army from Germany can indeed make the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union eat dog, but they are secretly researching the atomic bomb, and when they also have the atomic bomb, the empire will inevitably suffer from their siege." ”

"That's a cause for concern!" Zhang Meng did not deny it, but he was helpless, he said: "Although the empire is now strong enough to deal with them militarily and economically, our foundation is unstable after all, the Far East and Australia, as well as the colonial strongholds all over the world, need to be consolidated, and it will take decades or even longer to completely assimilate the inhabitants of these places in a day." In ancient times, it would have been enough to kill all these aborigines, but the times are different! ”

It is true that the times are different, and Cai Zhenghua has to admit this.

"As for the United States and the Soviet Union, it is only a matter of time before they possess the atomic bomb, and even if we stop it for a while, we will not be able to stop it for a lifetime, and they have the ability to develop the atomic bomb."

"Your Highness thinks that what our future national strategy should do, the next war may be a nuclear war, which will destroy Shijie!"

Cai Zhenghua does have some vision, which impresses Zhang Meng.

He said: "What the empire needs to do in the future is to maintain neutrality, let the United States and the Soviet Union lose dog-eat-dog, and we need to develop more high-tech weapons, such as the homeland missile defense system to intercept atomic bombs to prevent them from attacking us, develop space to seize the commanding heights of space, and monitor their every move." We will study the precise strategic nuclear Liliang to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and once they show signs of attacking us, we will be the first to detect and deal them a devastating blow. ”

Zhang Meng's simple words have benefited Cai Zhenghua a lot, for people like them, they are limited by the times, but as long as they are mentioned, they can break through the limitations of the times and immediately make amazing achievements. (To be continued......)
