In the blink of an eye, the time entered the beginning of 1945.

The Sino-Japanese War has completely ended, whether it is the native Japanese army, the Mongolian Japanese army, the North Manchurian Japanese army or the Nanyang Japanese army, they have all surrendered to the local disarming, the 8th Army of Shiye that landed in Tokyo has been withdrawn to China, and the 3rd Army, as the first batch to be stationed in Japan, has been stationed in Japan for a long time.

When the war is over, China should enjoy the fruits of victory.

With regard to the handling of more than 2 million Japanese prisoners of war in Mongolia, Northeast China, and Nanyang, the central authorities also agreed to Yue Weihan's suggestion that all of them be prosecuted for war crimes, and then convicted in accordance with Chinese law, and sentenced to death if the circumstances were serious, and sentenced to 10 to 30 years of re-education through labor if the circumstances were relatively minor.

Immediately afterwards, the Central Committee set up a war loss investigation committee headed by Zhou Gong to count China's personnel and property losses in the war, the purpose of which was of course to claim compensation from Japan, and Japan, as a defeated country, naturally wanted to pay compensation, which was also an international practice, and it was estimated that the land would be ceded, at least the Ryukyus and Korea were determined to secede from Japan.

In fact, as a time-traveler, Yue Weihan knew the number of China's losses in World War II.

During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in history, the casualties of the Chinese people were as high as more than 35 million, and the various losses were as high as more than 100 billion in US dollars at that time! In today's China, due to Yue Weihan's crossing, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has only been fought for seven years, and the military and civilian casualties are relatively small, but no matter what, the loss of 80 billion US dollars is definitely more than that.

However, in the history of China, because Chiang Gong was busy with the civil war, he did not really care about the issue of reparations, because China was not tough enough, the small Southeast Asian countries that had just become independent after the war opened their mouths one after another, China naturally did not agree, and the matter dragged on like this, and after two or three years, Chiang Gong was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, and things became even more troublesome.

In addition, the world pattern soon entered the Cold War era of the United States and the Soviet Union vying for hegemony, and in order to support Japan to contain the Soviet Union, the United States directly exempted Japan from all indemnities without consulting China and other Southeast Asian countries, and only allowed Japan to provide compensation services to various countries in the form of labor exports.

At the end of the 70s, when the mainland established diplomatic relations with the United States, China tried to restart the compensation negotiations, but Japan refused, on the grounds that Japan had reached an agreement with the Nationalist Government in Taiwan on compensation matters, and Japan at that time was not even willing to admit the war reparations, which also laid the groundwork for the later non-recognition of aggression against China.

In today's China, because of Yue Weihan's crossing, it is impossible to cheapen Japan anymore.

First of all, the amount of compensation will never be just the amount in history, the allied countries in history, after two years of investigation, submitted a claim of $58 billion to Japan, in Yue Weihan's view, this is too cheap Japan, China alone has lost hundreds of billions of dollars, how can Japan only compensate $58 billion?

Second, China's share of total reparations must be adjusted.

In the eyes of Yue Weihan, China in the present world should account for at least 70% of the total amount of reparations, and as for the countries and regions in Southeast Asia, it is good to give 10% of the compensation, and the remaining 20% will naturally go to the United States.

Of course, the protagonists of the Asian battlefield are China and Japan, but the Americans are also an existence that cannot be ignored, so it is impossible for China to leave the United States aside in the distribution of reparations, and Roosevelt, the crippled man, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he specially sent Stilwell, an old acquaintance of Yue Weihan, to take full charge of the aftermath.

Zhou Gong is still quite rigorous and efficient, because there is not the interference of the civil war as in history, so it only took more than three months, the chairman of the war damage investigation committee roughly counted the loss figures, according to statistics, the Chinese people in the seven-year war of resistance in a total of more than 28 million casualties, all kinds of losses accumulated more than 50 billion US dollars!

As a result, with a stroke of the pen, the number of casualties among the Chinese people became 38 million, and the war losses became $150 billion, and as for the amount of claims, Yue Weihan even put forward an astronomical figure of $200 billion!

This figure frightened not only the Japanese, but even Stilwell.

According to Japan's GDP of $20 billion before the war (1937), its fiscal revenue will not exceed $2 billion at most, and the amount of $200 billion claimed by Yue Weihan is a full 100 times Japan's annual fiscal revenue, that is, more than 60 million Japanese people will not eat or drink, and it will take 100 years to pay off the reparations.

But as a traverser, Yue Weihan doesn't see it this way, because Yue Weihan knows that the world is developing, the world economy is constantly moving forward, but the dollar will continue to depreciate, and the $200 billion compensation looks extremely scary now, but in a few decades, it will never be as exaggerated as it is now.

After repeated protests by the Japanese Government and the strong mediation of the US Government, Yue Weihan reluctantly proposed a second set of compensation plans that had been prepared long ago: The Japanese Government will compensate 50 billion yuan in cash over 30 years, and in the next 70 years, 20 percent of the total annual fiscal revenue will be used as compensation for the shortfall until the end of the period.

Due to China's hard-line attitude, the Japanese government finally chose the second option, which, at least on paper, would have to repay more than $120 billion less than the first in war reparations.

Only Yue Weihan knows that this is not the case at all, if Japan's annual fiscal revenue has always remained at $2 billion in the next 100 years, then Japan will naturally take a big advantage, but what if Japan's annual fiscal revenue increases to 10 billion or even 100 billion US dollars? Then the Japanese will suffer a big loss!

Yue Weihan also knows that history is always moving forward, and that the information revolution will break out in the near future, and that the overall scale of the world economy will grow in a geometric progression, and with the national character of the Japanese, it is probably inevitable that the scale of Japan's economy will grow explosively, and in a few years, Japan's annual fiscal revenue will exceed its current gross domestic product!

At that time, the Japanese will suddenly realize that they will pay trillions of dollars more in war reparations because of the wrong choice made decades ago!

Once the compensation plan is finalized, the next question is how to distribute it.

Of course, this is mainly a matter between China and the United States, or a dispute between Yue Weihan and Stilwell, as for the situation of Southeast Asian countries, there is an essential difference from history, Southeast Asian countries in history, after Japan surrendered, they have gained national independence, but the Southeast Asian countries in this world are still military areas.

The various regions of Southeast Asia are not even sovereign states, so how can they be eligible to participate in the distribution of reparations?

Although Britain and France also suffered great losses in the Asian theater, they basically lost colonies, such as Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore, but the nature of the colonies cannot be equated with national territory, so although the two countries participated in the negotiations, they basically had little say.

In line with Roosevelt's instructions, Stilwell proposed that China and the United States should each receive $24 billion, and the remaining $2 billion should be compensated to Britain, France, and Southeast Asia respectively depending on the loss, and that the 20% compensation for the next 70 years would be completely shared by China and the United States, and that nothing else would happen to the rest of the countries and regions.

Naturally, this proposal was strongly opposed by the Chinese side and Yue Weihan.

Yue Weihan insisted that China was the main force in the Asian theater, and that the number of casualties and losses among the lieutenant officers was the heaviest, so it deserved the most compensation, and that although the US Government and people gave China great help in the war, and the Chinese Government and people will always remember it, the US aid to China cannot affect the distribution ratio of the reparations.

In the end, after half a year of arduous negotiations, China, the United States, Britain, France, and other countries finally reached an agreement, under which China received $26 billion in cash compensation, the United States received 20 billion yuan, and the remaining $4 billion was shared by more than 20 countries and regions, including Britain, France, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and China enjoyed 20 percent of the compensation for the next 70 years.

After the distribution of the reparations, the next step is to enter the final distribution of benefits, that is, the redivision of spheres of influence.

At this stage, Britain and France have nothing to do, because the colonies of the two countries in Southeast Asia have been completely lost, could it be that the current situation of the British Empire is still capable of retaking Burma, Singapore or Hong Kong? As for France, it is still only a government, and it has nothing to do with him.

Although the United States was deeply involved in the battlefield of the European War, Uncle Sam built the country on business, and never gave up any opportunity to grab benefits, and in the following negotiations, he brought the American rogue style to the extreme, and relied on the powerful strength of the Pacific Fleet to row away many islands in Southeast Asia and the southwest Pacific.

In terms of naval power, China has no way to compete with the United States.

But then again, the U.S. Navy's role in the Asian theater of operations is indeed irreplaceable, and it is understandable to take away most of the islands in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific, and in any case, China controls Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and the four Japanese islands, so that in the event of a conflict between China and the United States in the future, it can guarantee that the enemy will be kept out of the first island chain.

As for Burma, Siam, Indochina, and Korea, although they are nominally independent, they have in fact become completely protected by China, and China will never withdraw its troops, at least for the foreseeable short term.

Finally, it has to be mentioned that although the Sino-Japanese war is over, the Sino-Russian war is not over.

At the same time as the 8th Army of Siye withdrew from Japan, Sanye under the command of General Xue Yue and Yiye under the command of General Peng launched an attack on the Central Asian and Far Eastern Military Districts of Russia at the same time.
