Chapter 138: The Final Problem

The poem continues with a few strategic strikes by Satsuki. [No pop-up novel network] plus the riots caused by tens of millions of US troops. The swift restoration of normal order on American soil has become a luxury.

According to the actual situation. In the bow of the old month 3! days ago, that is, before the United States officially signed the instrument of surrender. The republic persuaded all allies, including Ouzhou. After the war, military control over the United States continued until the United States was able to produce enough materials for the normal functioning of society. Because of European relations, it was stipulated that a comprehensive survey of the basic situation in the United States should be carried out two years after the end of the war, that is, before the date of the year of the injury. to determine whether there is a need for continued martial control.

Of course, power is tied to responsibility.

Although it is known that this is a deliberate action taken by the Republic in order to control the United States. But Europe was not strong enough to help the United States rebuild after the war. There is not even the ability to guarantee that hundreds of millions of Americans will be able to fill their bellies. So Europe can only make concessions on this issue. In order to avoid the republic taking advantage of the lack of hematopoietic capacity of the United States to control the United States for a long time, Europe left a hand, that is, after two years. If America's post-war reconstruction still hasn't improved. Most Americans are unable to lead normal lives. Or without the basic conditions for Americans to live a normal life, Europe will participate in the post-war reconstruction of the United States and work throughout the United States without restrictions.

Obviously, this is the two years that Europe has bought for itself

In the eyes of some, this is also a problem that Europe has given the republic, and it has plunged the republic into a new predicament.

As mentioned earlier, long before the outbreak of the war, the authorities of the Republic prepared for the chaos of the post-war period, such as the purchase of production equipment in advance by Indian grain production enterprises on the basis of advance ordering. Expansion of production capacity. in order to cope with the post-war food shortage. Arguably. This is a significant initiative. To know. Before the outbreak of the Great War. The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico are the world's major grain producers, among which the United States, Canada, Canada, and Australia are still the world's top five grain exporters, and the food produced in these three countries alone feeds nearly three-thirds of the world's population. Imagine this. If food production in these three countries were affected by the war, even a reduction in food production for even one season could lead to severe food shortages and even a global food panic. This was also true in the post-war period, when Australia was strategically attacked, starting with the ostrich. Food production has fallen sharply. Even in the bowing years and some recovery, it did not reach the pre-war scale. It was not until Ritsuda that he basically reached the pre-war level, and returned to normal in the year of injury. As a result, hundreds of millions of tons of food production have been reduced. This is because Australia's main production areas do not coincide with major population areas. So the damage to Australia's grain-producing regions is not too serious for a strategic strike. Relatively speaking, the grain producing areas and population areas of the United States and Canada basically coincide. Plus serious unrest. As a result, the impact on grain production in both countries has been even more severe. According to data published after the war. It wasn't until the drowning years that major agricultural infrastructure in the United States and Canada was fully restored. It was not until the year that the grain production of the two countries returned to the level of the pre-war jump, because during the war, both countries lost a large number of people, and there was no need for exports. Therefore, the level equivalent to the pre-war account is basically and can meet the basic living needs of the people of the two countries. It has been 3 years since the return to the pre-war level. It can be seen that after the end of the war, it took a lot of effort for the Republic to ensure the livelihood of Americans and more than 100 million Canadians. To know. These 700 million people need at least two tons of food a year, and before the year, the food gap between the two countries was as high as two tons. Let's not talk about how to produce so much food. Just transporting a ton of grain across the ocean and distributing it to the people is a huge project!

In fact, for post-war reconstruction. Food is only a very small issue. Anyway. The transportation of 600 million tons of grain was also a matter of the mysterious sub-10,000-ton bulk carriers, and by the end of the war, the Republic would have a must-have ship

Relatively speaking, the real challenge is to help the United States rebuild after the war.

Post-war reconstruction is primarily concerned with two issues. One is materials, and the other is manpower.

Although before the outbreak of the war, the United States was one of the largest industrial countries in the world, not only had a perfect industrial system, but also had abundant industrial resources and strong industrial technology, but at the end of the war, not only did the strategic attack destroy most of the industrial facilities in the United States, but the riot of the American army also destroyed the only remaining industrial base. At the time of the signing of the surrender agreement by the US authorities, not to mention the industrial system, there was not even a single factory in the United States capable of producing iron nails, and almost all industrial products had to be imported from abroad. What's even worse is that because of the four people in the big rules, it is like lying down. 8。 The experience of not understanding the book! The panicked lion is ready to strike. In order to break the war palpitations of the United States as quickly as possible, the authorities of the Republic "not only focused on the factories of the United States, but also targeted the American workers, especially the skilled workers. And it turned out. At the end of the Great War. Not only does the United States not have factories and industrial equipment, but it does not have enough skilled workers.In other words, even if the Republic were able to provide the United States with enough industrial equipment. In particular, it is difficult for the United States to restore its hematopoietic capacity in the short term, especially for basic industrial equipment such as machine tools. And so it goes. The Republic of China will have to directly provide the United States with materials for reconstruction, especially strategic materials and basic equipment such as steel, cement, synthetic plastics, and engineering equipment. and help the United States train a group of industrial workers and construction workers.

Relatively speaking, this is a relatively simple question.

In any case, the republic has long been not a low-end industrial producer, and most of the production of basic materials has long been transferred abroad, especially in the surrounding areas, for example, as early as Tian Nian, India has become the world's largest exporter of primary industrial products and industrial raw materials, not only producing basic products that are enough to meet the needs of the republic's market, but also selling various low-end industrial products to all over the world. What's more. Countries such as India are mostly members of intensive blocs. Moreover, these countries have signed treaties with the republic, that is, the basic industrial products are exchanged for the high-end technology of the republic, so as to upgrade the industrial structure. There is no doubt that this is a win-win deal, the republic exports the technology to get the product, and India sells the product to get the technology. In other words, the republic does not need to pay for it, at least not a lot of money, to buy the basic materials needed for the postwar reconstruction of the United States. All that needs to be taken out is some advanced technology. Advanced technology, to be precise, that is about to become obsolete. And in the entire industrial chain, with the recovery of hematopoietic capacity in the United States. The United States, which once stood at the top of the world, will fall to the bottom and eventually replace emerging countries such as India as the new low-end industrial country. In fact. The Republic did the same. Even with India, Pakistan, Burma, Bangladesh, Indonesia, with many technologies that seemed very advanced before the war. Even Japan and the Philippines, which were defeated in the early stages of the war or began to recover during the war, exchanged a large number of basic resources, and then used these resources to help the United States rebuild, and finally used the factories established in the United States and the recovered American market to obtain benefits. Because the main force involved in the reconstruction of the United States is the Republic enterprises, it is logical that the Republic enterprises occupy the American market, especially the high-end market. In the end, a huge profit was made from it.

In fact, it is also the scrambling of many members of the intensive group to participate in the post-war reconstruction of the United States. The root cause of even entering the U.S. market in the form of gratuitous assistance. To know. Counting Canada, or Mexico, the traditional North American market has a population, and in terms of geographical scope, number of resources, education level, traditional culture, etc., the North American market has the potential to expand beyond the South Asian market whose population is twice its calcium Only from the perspective of population, South Asia, which has a population of about 100 million, is the largest single market in the world. In the words of the post-war years. Whoever occupies the U.S. market owns the future.

Relatively speaking, the real problem is human resources.

Although, fundamentally, the republic did not lack human resources to help the United States in its post-war reconstruction. To know. Post-war reconstruction is, after all, a matter for the United States, and after the war is over, at least there is a hook. Wanmei ** people and military personnel need to be repatriated, and these people need a source of livelihood through labor, plus hundreds of millions of Americans who have lost their jobs because of strategic strikes. There is no shortage of labor in the United States itself. For the Republic, the only human resources needed to help and supervise the postwar reconstruction of the United States were manpower. In fact. Because the republic also has tens of millions of soldiers to be repatriated, the exact number is more than 10,000. And these people also need jobs, plus a drastic reduction in military production capacity within the Republic. There are not many jobs available in society, so it is not difficult for the authorities of the republic to recruit labor. But there is one thing that is fundamentally different from providing reconstruction materials. That is, the authorities of the republic cannot use technology to pay the salaries of retired soldiers. That is, to maintain a large reconstruction team, even if it is responsible for America's postwar reconstruction. In the end, it will be the United States, which has received help from reconstruction, to pay for it. But before that. The authorities of the Republic are required to pay their salaries, and they are paid in accordance with the labour standards of the Republic.

Without a doubt, this is a no-go expense! It can be said that in order to help the United States in its post-war reconstruction, the republic paid an extremely high price.

This is also the fundamental reason why Europe has created a difficult problem for the republic in the post-war reconstruction. The problem is that compared to the benefits of dominating the North American continent. In particular, it will have a significant impact on the future world pattern, and this price is nothing. So from the very beginning, the authorities of the republic did not think of intervening Europe in the reconstruction of the United States. And before the end of the war, plans were made for the reconstruction of the United States.

The first of these is the management of war refugees according to race.

In fact, the original intention of the Republic to set up war refugee camps in the United States and Canada was to facilitate post-war management. And bypass the hurdle of forced immigration. You must know that according to international law, even if the Republic is a victorious country and the United States is a defeated country, the authorities of the Republic have no right to take away the basic rights of American civilians, and during the period of running the United States, they will provide the most basic human counsel for American civilians and provide them with the most basic human rights. Other words. As long as the state of war ends, that is, the de jure state of wartime control, the authorities of the Republic will no longer have the right to interfere with the free movement of American civilians within the framework of the law, let alone to force Americans to emigrate or relocate. Of course, under a wartime regime. The authorities of the Republic may use the grounds of facilitating combat operations, ensuring the basic safety of the parties concerned, etc. Compulsory wartime protection, i.e., coercion of housing and other aspects for Americans entering war refugee camps

Place.

While Europe created problems for the republic, it also left the republic with two years.

This, of course, is a direct result of the great power game. According to some information that has been released one after another. In the negotiations with Europe, the Republic, before accepting the two-year demand, offered to continue to maintain wartime control during the two years, without which the Republic would not make any commitment to the postwar reconstruction of the United States and to the social order of the United States.

Because Europe did not insist on this issue. Therefore, the Republic also proposed in passing that after the end of the war, all Americans should decide the future of the United States, that is, to decide by referendum whether to maintain a united United States. Or break down the United States into multiple countries.

The Year of the Knife can change the vast majority of Americans' outlook on compassion and worldview, and two years can change the lifestyle and place of life of the vast majority of people.

According to some data disclosed after the war, at least one of the Americans accepted the forced resettlement of the Republic before the end of the year. To know. By the end of World War II, the U.S. population had fallen to 600 million, or half of Americans. Obviously, this is enough to change the distribution of the entire population of the United States, and thus create the conditions for the next fundamental division of the United States. For example, in the post-war reconstruction work, the predominantly white New England region has always received only the most basic assistance, that is, only to ensure that the vast majority of people will not starve to death, and the rest has to be left to creation. In the northwestern United States, where Asians, especially Chinese, are the concubines, the post-war reconstruction was at the highest level, with most of the infrastructure rebuilding completed within two years, and some large-scale projects have only started but not yet been completed. Basic industry was also restored, and it became an area where the U.S. mainland rate wells and restored hematopoietic capacity.

Europe can only be anxious about this arrangement of the republic.

In any case, it was the Republic of China that occupied the United States, and Europe was not a member of the Intensive Group. More importantly, even the members of the intensive bloc are working for their own interests and do not regard it as their duty to maintain the integrity and unity of the United States.

In order to determine the interests of the United States, the intensive group held an enlarged meeting before the introduction of the month.

There was only one topic of focus at the meeting, that is, how to divide the occupied areas and assign the responsibilities of the occupation. Although the Republic had already issued an invitation before that, all bloc member countries were welcome to send troops to participate in the occupation of the United States. And the member states that pledged to send troops would be given an occupied zone, but the most important question was whether to divide the zone of military control according to the occupied zone. Or the division of the occupied territories according to the administrative divisions of the United States, the authorities of the Republic have never given a clear answer, and have not even given any clarification on this issue. No doubt. If this issue cannot be clarified, then for the members of the intensive bloc, the occupation of the United States will be just an empty phrase, or a thankless chore, and few countries will be willing to suffer this loss. The problem is that if this opportunity is missed, not only will it offend the Republic, but it is also very likely that it will miss the opportunity to flourish after the war. Taken together, the members of the bloc were torn between a reluctance to give up and a republic's decision to do so alone.

In fact, this is also the thing that the authorities of the republic are most concerned about in the old months.

After rounds of high-intensity brain-level consultations. It was not until the first day of the old month, two days before the United States formally signed the instrument of surrender, that the main members of the intensive bloc agreed with the Republic on the most crucial issue, that is, the occupied territories would be the main basis for each country's share of the post-war American market according to factors such as size, population, etc., and that it would be combined with other factors to determine the post-war interests of each country. In other words, it is not up to the occupied territories to determine the areas of control and the methods of control, but to administer the occupied territories in a unified manner in accordance with the requirements of the republic.

The next day, the resolution was adopted at the expanded meeting of the intensive group.

It was only at this time that the collective group, as the victorious side, solved the last key issue before the end of the war, and it was also a key question related to whether the war would end.

After almost 6 years of fierce fighting, at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives, the Third World War has finally come to an end.

Strictly speaking, the 3rd of the old month is the anniversary of the end of the Third World War. Until the morning of this day, when the representative of the United States signed the instrument of unconditional surrender, and the victorious countries, represented by the republic, signed the same instrument of agreement. The war is officially over!

For "Heroes of Troubled Times", I would like to ask you brothers. A guaranteed monthly pass for the month, as well as a monthly pass for the oral month. Let's fight together for the new book in Kouyue!
