Chapter 489: The Victor's Gluttonous Feast: Crazy Looting On
This gathering of heads of state, which took place in the auditorium of Hanjing Imperial University, has gone down in history. It set several records, and one of the biggest battles would end with a conference that lasted only five days.
Hundreds of thousands of people are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, which may not be as good as a word from a politician at this time.
The whole meeting of heads of state is not as simple as the outside world thinks, and it is even full of debates and quarrels. They are convinced that maybe a louder voice will be able to win a little more profit. Maybe if you don't back down, you can protect a little more national interests.
On the first day of the meeting, Zhang Shusheng put forward various conditions for the Chinese side, which were in the position of China's strong position, and Britain and the United States did not agree to these conditions at the first time, except for the demand to garrison Britain and let the United States cede several states, including Hawaii. On the morning of the second day of the meeting, Britain and the United States, as the leading powers of the Central Powers, announced that they would accept the conditions put forward by Zhang Shusheng at the conference table.
"We agree that Canada, because of its vast and sparsely populated territory, is not suitable for permanent Canadian possession. As an atonement for the war, and as a condition of agreeing to the Chinese side, we will support the Chinese proposal to declare Canada owned by the Chinese side at the end of the war............ Canadians shall not move freely, and the Armistice Signatories shall be obliged to repatriate those who have moved out of the country without permission, and the Armistice Signatories shall not transfer from Canada any means, including but not limited to funds, technology, resources, machinery and equipment......"
Zhang Shusheng just sat there like that, without saying a word, Britain and the United States finished reading the report and handed over a draft. It was a draft of only about 10 pages, all provided by the Chinese side, which was signed by the heads of state of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and even Hitler asked for it, and even Mussolini signed it.
It is impossible for the summit to discuss all issues at once, so Zhang Shusheng believes that they can be divided into multiple links to be discussed. Canada's prime minister did not attend the meeting, and they did not even have a single representative, and their fate was decided by Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries.
As part of the treaty, the Americans not only signed this part of the treaty, but also on the day of signing and taking effect, Eisenhower issued an acting presidential decree mobilizing 15 US military divisions and 3 air divisions to march quickly into Canada.
In the evening local time, William was secretly controlled by the American garrison in the territory, and members of the political axe throughout Canada were secretly searched from their homes and placed under centralized custody.
At noon Hanking time, at about 8 o'clock in the morning local time in Ottawa, Canada, people who were awakened by the sound of gunfire at night took to the streets, as if they realized something.
Of course, they didn't just realize what they were standing in the streets, there were American tanks and heavily armed soldiers under martial law. Although the number of troops in the whole of Canada is partial, they are all fighting in Europe, due to the prototype of the large federation of North America, the entire belly region, many places do not even have troops, only the US military garrison, and now, the only remaining Canadians are the police who stand by the side of the US military to help maintain order, and they choose their position earlier than others.
“…… Please stay away from the cordon...... If you make any dangerous moves, we reserve the right to shoot......"
This is the American who is closer than his father in the eyes of Canadians, and he can't control them at this time, and he has already been sold. Although the steel guns held by American GIs could not beat the Chinese, they could be pointed at them. The tanks piloted by American GIs could not withstand a frontal shot from the Chinese Tiger No. 4 tank, but they could easily tear these civilians to shreds.
As a result, civilians who did not know the truth began to assemble near the Political Axe Building at the request of the Americans.
“…… The United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and Germany intended to sign the first important treaty with Chinese in Hanjing, in which they promised to fully integrate Canada into China's territory...... Woohoo......"
A homeless man rushed frantically down the street with a radio in his arms, and the radio in his arms was playing something in English, and many people realized that it was a current affairs broadcast from the United States, announcing that the First Treaty would come into force immediately.
Many Canadians don't know what's going on, and suddenly it's announced that Canada is gone, and they themselves become non-native citizens of China.
Some people are crying, some are confused, some are chanting, some are cursing, and some are clapping...... There are all kinds of people, all kinds of people, some happy and some angry.
Thirty minutes later, former Canadian Prime Minister William and a group of political axe officials appeared at the door of the political axe building, stood in front of the microphone, and announced on the spot: "...... Under the latest treaty concluded between the Allies and the Axis powers, Canada will cease to exist and we will continue to live on this land in a new capacity...... Although we have many complaints, we can be glad that we are still alive.
…… Perhaps we should not blame the Allies for abandoning us, but God for being on the side of Chinese......"
A simple speech of only ten minutes, without any embellishment, and without currying favor with the Americans, although the entire scene, including civilians, was under the guns of the American troops, William did not flinch, but expressed his dissatisfaction with the Americans. In the end, of course, he expressed his dissatisfaction with God.
He was ready to commit suicide and resolutely refused to declare Canada an overseas territory of China, but the head of the US military told him that if Canada tore up the armistice treaty made by various countries, he would become a war criminal and Canada might be retaliated by Chinese with nuclear weapons.
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, William chose to surrender, because, at least the Chinese promised that Canadian citizens would be treated as ordinary equal citizens, that is, third and fourth class citizens.
Moreover, the Chinese promised that during the reign period, they would rule Canada in accordance with the practice of Australia and other regions. Neither killing nor torture nor discrimination is used as a means of persecution.
As a result, when not a single soldier of the squadron had landed in Canada, the Americans took the place of China and performed the duties of temporary caretakers. Because Zhang Shusheng said that if Canada is out of control before it is officially taken over by China, China will make the land of the Americans a condition for compensation. In other words, how much harm is caused, the United States will have to cut out as many more states.
As a result, the Americans, although very reluctant, had to maintain the situation in Canada, although it was too vast and sparsely populated. The main population areas were treated by American GIs, and all problems were solved.
Canada's problems were announced to be resolved on the same day, and it was also the result of the Ring Thunder operation set by Zhang Shusheng.
First of all, there are very few troops in Canada, and secondly, it is convenient for the US military to be stationed, and it itself has troops stationed in Canada, and the prototype of the North American Federation has also made Canadians completely relax their vigilance against the American godfather.
In this way, without a single person attending the Hanjing Peace Conference, Canada became a quasi-territory for the Chinese.
Zhang Shusheng didn't talk to them, but publicly stated that he wanted it! It must be wanted, and if you don't agree, you will continue to fight, such a ruthless style is completely beyond the can afford of the Allies.
After the Canadian problem was settled, the matter of garrisoning Britain and occupying several American states became a problem, and there was no progress for the whole second day.
Zhang Shusheng also expected this, so the whole meeting first discussed the issue of war reparations and military sanctions.
The issue of war reparations is also a very acute issue, and the fact that the war is fought on the battlefield does not mean that it is so easy to solve at the negotiating table.
Originally, although the war reparations paid by Ben to various countries were only a few billion dollars, this figure did not include the war reparations that should have been given to China. Although China has forgone this war reparation, which could be tens of billions of dollars, for various reasons, it is indeed due. Of course, because the political axe compensation is gone, the total amount of private compensation may be hundreds of billions of US dollars, let alone talk about it.
In contrast, the Germans were still paying some war reparations into the 21st century. German politicians, individuals, and businesses are making reparations, and the Jews have even received tens of billions of dollars.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng never thought about reducing the war reparations from the beginning, whether you can afford to pay it or not, the war reparations are indispensable.
“…… To sum up, I believe that the amount of war reparations that China should receive should be no less than 33 billion new yuan (about 1 to 4 in the same period with the US dollar)......"
Zhang Shusheng threw out the specific amount of war reparations at the meeting on the second day.
In other words, the Allies would need to pay China up to $132 billion in total war reparations. Of course, this number will be less after subtracting the part of the book and Canada, but it will not be lower than 100 billion.
“…… This is a condition that we cannot accept, and if we agree to this condition of compensation, we will go bankrupt......"
And this was Eisenhower's first answer to stand up.
“…… You can pay in installments. As for the specific repayment method, you can mobilize the people and enterprises to use the reserve gold and resources of the political axe to repay, and of course, you can also use the machine ......"
This is a supplementary point put forward by the Chinese representative, and in fact it is also Zhang Shusheng's instruction.
Zhang Shusheng's meaning is very clear, I can't afford it, and I don't have to be cash. Machines, resources, reserve gold, precious metals are all possible.
For example, the United States, although defeated in the war, was not affected too much on its own soil, the industrial system is intact, the resources are extremely rich, and most importantly, they are too close to Canada.
Just imagine, when the time comes, the machines and machinery and equipment, resources, and precious metals compensated by the Americans will be transported to California, which is controlled by the Chinese side, or to the Chinese cities that will soon appear in Canada.
They have a complete railway line, which can be transported as quickly as possible, and the Chinese side does not have to spend a penny.
“…… We can consider such conditions......"
