The US military officers and men are much more valuable than Lao Maozi, and more than one million prisoners of war have "sold" more than one billion Chinese dollars, except for some of the real money paid directly by grain, livestock, and cloth, and most of them are paid directly in real money, and the US government naturally cannot afford to give it, but the US government's ability to pay is much stronger than that of the Tsarist government, so it is not worried that it will not find anyone to borrow money, and it has raised some of it in China and borrowed some from foreign countries, and in addition, Pershing has also looted a lot in Mexico, the "land of silver", and finally he has made up enough ransom.

Of course, this will further increase the debt, but Theodore Roosevelt is already "too many lice" to itch, and he is already determined to step down, so why worry about his successor?

And to Li Hui's delight, the US government's work efficiency is much higher than that of Lao Maozi, and with five railways transshipment at the same time, this arduous work was completed in less than a month, and there is no need to worry about the changes in the situation in Russia that will make this boiled duck fly. With so much gold and silver to buy, Li Hui didn't have to worry about the huge amount of money needed for the last level of system technology that he was going to start researching in a few years.

As for the residents west of the Rocky Mountains, after friendly consultations between the two governments, it was decided that they should make their own choices on a voluntary basis, and that the Chinese side did not set up obstacles, and of course the travel expenses had to be paid by the US government. Since Li Hui only gave them a month to make a decision, and because the land west of the Rocky Mountains already had a stable order, and some of the advantages of the Chinese system were gradually manifested, only a few hundred thousand people chose to return to the east, and the middle-aged and elderly people who were difficult to adapt to the Chinese system were the mainstays. However, Theodore Roosevelt at least helped him win a lot of people's hearts, so much so that after he officially stepped down, many Americans wept and lamented it......

There was still a problem between China and the United States that was difficult to solve, that is, which direction Mexico should go, although long before Theodore Roosevelt decided to sue for peace, Pershing's troops had completely retreated to the narrow coastal plain of eastern Mexico, but the US government could not tolerate Mexico completely falling under the control of China in any case, so the rise of the Mexican Datong Party was something they could not tolerate, but Li Hui would not easily betray his loyal little brother, even if the Chinese paid attention to reality, It is impossible to be completely shameless like Lao Maozi, so this problem is a headache.

"In this way, there are two options, one is that Mexico will form a coalition government with all political groups of more than 10,000 people, including the Pax Romana, and use the position of a neutral country as a buffer between China and the United States, and the troops of China and the United States will all withdraw from Mexico; Second, if the war continues, the Chinese government can withdraw the regular army, as long as the US troops do not reach Mexico City, but military and economic aid is not restricted...... "Theodore Roosevelt chose the second of the two plans drawn up by Li Hui himself, and he always believed that as long as the Chinese army did not personally end up, it would not be difficult for the US military to clean up Mexico. What's more, even if he is finally defeated and withdraws from Mexico, it will be the next president who will take the blame, and it will be too late for him to be happy!

Soon after the issue was settled, representatives of China and the United States signed a peace treaty in London, England, known as the Treaty of London. The signing of this treaty announced that the "Three Kingdoms War", which was unprecedented in human history, finally came to an end, and this brutal war triggered by the hegemonic behavior of the US Navy involved the three largest countries in the world, and six countries directly participated in the war (only Nepal and the Republic of Colombia in the Asian League directly sent troops to participate in the war, and the Japanese government repeatedly stated that it would send troops, but Li Hui rejected it as unnecessary). More than 800 million people were affected, almost comparable to a world war.

In fact, in later generations, historians of China, the United States, and Russia called this "Three Kingdoms War" the "First World War", but this view failed to become the mainstream after all, because many years later, the real world war was far from being comparable to the "Three Kingdoms War" in terms of coverage and the number of casualties, and told the world with extremely cruel facts what a world war is! Of course, that's another story......

But having said that, although the "Three Kingdoms War" is still a little short of the level of a world war, its impact on the world pattern is still unprecedented......

Before the outbreak of this war, the world pattern was typical of the juxtaposition of the giants: the British Empire, the former world hegemon, was a blessing in disguise through effective reforms after the disastrous defeat in the war, and although the decline in international influence was inevitable, the stronger power brought about by the increase in heavy industry gave the Chamberlain government more ample confidence. Including the colonies, before the war, Britain's total industrial output in 1906 accounted for one-fifth of the world's total, second only to the United States, ranking second in the world.

Although the industrial scale of the United States is not as exaggerated as it was in history, the total industrial output value in 1906 also accounted for almost a quarter of the world, ranking first in the world, and because the United States can be said to be the first in the West in terms of production management capabilities and strong innovation capabilities brought about by diversified characteristics, the potential for industrial production increase after mobilization is also the largest in the world. In addition, the United States still had a population of no less than 80 million in 1906 and a vast territory of more than 7 million square kilometers after the loss of Alaska and Hawaii, which was more concentrated than that of the United Kingdom. Before provoking a war, even compared with Britain, the United States could be said to be good at winning, and it was not necessarily much weaker than the former.

As for Erdezi, who is also more difficult than in history, relying on the world's third-largest industrial output value and the scientific and technological level and industrial base that are not inferior to Britain, they can still be regarded as the world's top first-class powers, not to mention that they still have a deep-rooted militarist tradition, and if they really want to fight, their strength will be stronger than that shown in peacetime. Even the British Empire, which showed signs of revival after the reforms of Chamberlain the Elder, dared to beat only to a limited extent, but did not dare to push people too much. Therefore, even if its overall strength is slightly weaker than that of Britain and the United States, Germany is still a first-class power at the same level, and not only a leader among second-class powers like France......
