Chapter 702: The Sino-German Cold War Era Comes

Although the Chinese Empire was extremely reluctant to negotiate an armistice, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union were very afraid of the German army's nuclear weapons, so negotiations became inevitable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese Empire held a decisive Paris Peace Conference during World War I, it would not have provided a pretext for other countries to demand another World War II.
The negotiations between the United Nations and the Allies were held on November 2, 1943 at the United Nations Headquarters in Shanghai, and all countries in the world sent representatives to participate, but basically only Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Italy and other countries put forward their opinions, and then the Chinese Empire and the German Empire held consultations and decided, and other countries only had the right to observe, and had no right to speak.
Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, and other countries proposed to use the Paris Peace Conference in World War I to determine the general direction of the Shanghai Peace Conference in World War II, that is, the belligerents should return to the status quo ante before the full-scale outbreak of World War II.
Germany naturally agreed with this proposal, but the Chinese Empire was resolutely against it. This is manifested in the fact that the Chinese Empire does not want to return to the status quo ante before World War II, but demands the restoration of the territorial integrity of the UN member states, the withdrawal of German troops from all the occupying countries, and war reparations. But Germany was clearly unwilling to withdraw its troops from all occupied territories, and reparations were out of the question.
In the end, after dozens of closed-door meetings between China and Germany, China and Germany finally reached an agreement. The German Empire agreed to withdraw its troops from the occupying powers, but the Allied forces were not allowed to enter the previously occupied territories of the Germans. The countries of the occupied territories should settle the bloc question on their own, and neither the Allies nor the United Nations could get involved.
In fact, the negotiations have always revolved around the most critical major powers. The most generous was Britain, because Britain and Germany did not have the problem of territorial occupation, Germany did not compensate for the war losses, Britain was also afraid of being attacked by the German army, and Britain was really unable to fight, resources, funds and investment were unprecedentedly scarce, and the war almost dragged Britain down, so Britain and Germany were the first to reach a peace treaty to end the war.
As for Italy, Germany has never given up on its ally, and is willing to withdraw its troops from Italy, hoping that one day it will be able to restore the German-Italian alliance. Therefore, the German-Italian contract was concluded very quickly.
This was followed by the Soviet Union. Originally, the Soviet army planned to take a ride on the joint ** attack on the German mainland, expecting to invade Germany and get a piece of the pie, so Stalin sent the last elite unit of the Soviet army to fight in Germany, but unexpectedly the whole army was wiped out in the Warsaw nuclear bombing. Since then, the Soviet army has no sharpness to speak of, and there are less than 900,000 Soviet recruits left in the homeland, and they are even more afraid that the German army will drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union again. Therefore, the Soviet Union, the only one to suffer a nuclear attack, also reached a peace treaty with Germany, and the armies of both sides returned to the state they were in before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, and at the same time did not station troops in Poland. A demilitarized zone that formed a buffer between the Soviet Union and Germany.
The hardest part is France. Since France was defeated at the beginning of World War II, France had Vichy France, which was supported by Germany, and Ziyou France, which was supported by the Chinese Empire, both of which claimed the only legitimacy to France. At this time, the Allied forces controlled most of France, and only a small part of the north was under the control of Vichy France. Germany was willing to withdraw its troops from France, but did not want Vichy France to fall, and wanted to keep Vichy France. Naturally, this was not something that the Chinese Empire was willing to do. The Chinese Empire demanded that Ziyou France be the only legal zhengf of France.
The differences between China and Germany led to an impasse in the negotiations. However, after closed-door negotiations between China and Germany. The two sides agreed to let France into their own settlement, which meant that France would go to civil war.
But it was clear that Ziyou France was strong with the support of the Chinese Empire, and Vichy France could not count on German support at all, so the results were self-evident.
But Germany was not the one who suffered the loss, and also benefited from the Chinese Empire.
Since Germany had mastered nuclear weapons technology, the Chinese Empire demanded that Germany strictly control the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to other countries. Therefore, Germany took advantage of this to ask the Chinese Empire for an overseas oil field, because Germany was seriously short of oil, and oil was the foundation of the country. However, the Chinese Empire did not want to give Germany oil, and it was a basic policy toward Germany to pinch Germany's oil lifeline. But in order to appease Germany, the Chinese Empire acquiesced to the fact that Germany could be obtained from the Soviet Union.
The original intention of the Chinese Empire was to acquiesce in Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, because the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao never believed that Germany could defeat the Soviet Union, so he did not have a good heart to let the Soviet Union and Germany fight to the end, and at the same time weaken the two enemies. However, Hitler always believed that Germany could defeat the Soviet Union, so he accepted the Chinese Empire and promised to make concessions on the French question.
China and Germany then reached an agreement at the negotiating table to destroy the Soviet Union. The Chinese Empire would not allow the Soviet Union to join the United Nations, and if the German army invaded the Soviet Union, the United States would not be involved. Germany, on the other hand, supported the decision of the Chinese Empire on the American issue, recognized the division of the United States into thirteen states, and severed all contact with the remnants of the former Roosevelt. But the most crucial commitment was that Germany would not allow nuclear weapons to proliferate, and China and Germany signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty and pledged not to attack each other with nuclear weapons.
Despite the signing of a peace treaty between China and Germany, the hostility between the two countries has not improved significantly, but rather because both nuclear-armed states will become more targeted in the future. However, politics is like this, it does not care about the future, but only demands the maximization of immediate benefits or the minimization of losses.
The Chinese Empire maximized its benefits at the negotiating table, while Germany minimized the loss of interests as much as possible, and it was a good thing for the world that the two sides could find a compromise balance, otherwise in the event of a nuclear war, the living environment would be seriously damaged. Neither the Chinese Empire nor Germany would benefit each other, and the rest of the world would suffer even more.
On the seventh day of the first month of the 44th year of Guanghua, on February 8, 1944 A.D., China and Germany finally signed a peace treaty. So far, the peace treaties or armistice agreements between the United Nations and the member states of the allies involved in the "Shanghai Treaty" have all been signed, and there are more than 1,500 treaty clauses, large and small, involving more than 2 billion imports.
The Shanghai Treaty came into force, marking the official end of World War II. As in the First World War, neither camp completely eliminated the other. The Chinese Empire released water twice at the most critical moment, so that Germany, the culprit of the two world wars, avoided the tragedy of becoming a defeated country.
Of course, this is also another political machinations of the Chinese Empire. The fact that Germany was not completely defeated meant that Nazi militarism in Germany had not been eliminated. The German Nazis led by Hitler were just a respite, and their white-spoon aggressive ambitions did not disappear, which laid the foundation for the next war.
If the Chinese Empire wants to maintain the undefeated momentum of a strong country, it must always set up a strong enemy for itself, and the soldiers will always have a sense of crisis, so as not to be decadent.
When World War II ended, the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Wang Chenhao, proposed the idea of the next war at the Imperial Council.
"It is very difficult for the next world war to break out, and the hostilities between China and Germany will eventually manifest themselves as the Sino-German Cold War, both sides have nuclear weapons, and if they fight, it will be the destruction of the world, so it is very difficult to fight. However, there is a possibility that a war may break out in the small countries supported by the two camps of China and Germany, but the scale of the war will be controlled at the level of local wars. ”
Wang Chenhao's instructions became the yardstick used by the Imperial Cabinet and the General Staff of the Chinese Empire to handle major international affairs in the future, and heralded the advent of a new era -- the Sino-German Cold War era.
