Under the fierce attack of the Chinese Empire, the United States struggled under the ravages of war. However, a series of heavy blows from the Chinese Empire have gradually lost the opportunity for the United States to even struggle to the death.

In mid-February 1918, the North American Front's Western Route Army and the Canadian Front successfully joined forces in Eugene, and the entire western coastal area of the United States was captured by the Chinese army.

In early March, the Atlantic Fleet, which was drawn from the European Expeditionary Fleet, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and merged with the Pacific Fleet to form the American Expeditionary Fleet, with Admiral Zhang Haiping, former commander-in-chief of the expeditionary fleet, as commander-in-chief.

From mid to late March, several large-scale naval battles broke out between the Chinese Empire's American Expeditionary Fleet and the U.S. Navy in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Although the U.S. Navy fleet resisted desperately, it faced the powerful Chinese Imperial Navy and lost successive battles, losing hundreds of warships with a total tonnage of more than 600,000 tons. In particular, the battleships, which were the main force of the fleet, were dealt a heavy blow by the fleet of the Chinese Empire and suffered heavy losses. By late March, the main force of the U.S. Navy fleet had been completely annihilated. The Chinese Empire successfully seized the sea supremacy in the Americas, and the main naval force was destroyed, which was like sounding the death knell of the United States.

At the same time, the South American Front, under the cover of the navy, captured Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba and other places. and prepare for a landing operation in Florida. The North American Front's Eastern Route Army, after capturing most of the territory of Texas, immediately marched eastward and invaded Louisiana. The North American Front, the Western Route Army, and the Canadian Front, also jointly launched a fierce offensive into the hinterland of the United States.

On 5 April, the first batch of troops drawn from the Western Expeditionary Army, a total of 400,000 troops of two armies, crossed the Atlantic Ocean and landed successfully in New Brunswick Province in southeastern Canada under the cover of the naval fleet. and quickly captured the province of New Brunswick and attacked the American state of Maine south. In the following period of about a month. The two fronts drawn by the Western Expeditionary Army, with a total of 2.4 million troops, landed here one after another and launched a fierce attack on the northeastern coastal areas of the United States.

The embattled United States could no longer struggle, and US President Wilson was forced to announce his resignation as US president on May 10 under tremendous pressure. The U.S. Congress immediately announced that it would take over the government, and on May 15, it officially announced its unconditional surrender to the Chinese Empire. The surrender of the United States marked the official end of World War I, which lasted nearly four years. The Allied side, led by the Chinese Empire, succeeded in winning the war. The Chinese Empire undoubtedly became the biggest winner of this world war, and it was precisely because of this war that it successfully established the status of the Chinese Empire as the world hegemon.

Europe's old powers, Britain and France, were greatly weakened by the war. Moreover, as a defeated country, it will not only lose its vast overseas colonies after the war, but will also suffer severe sanctions, so it has completely lost its status as a world power. The United States, an emerging power, will also suffer the same fate as Britain and France, and has lost the opportunity to dominate the world.

As for Germany and Austria-Hungary, although they were the victorious countries, the four-year war also depleted the vitality of these two countries. And in order to be able to win this war. These two countries were also burdened with huge war debts, and their creditors were their allies, the Chinese Empire.

October 1918. The Allied bloc, as the victorious party, convened the Beijing Peace Conference in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, in order to solve the problems caused by the war and lay for peace after the war.

At the meeting, the "Beijing Peace Treaty" was signed to deal with Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and other countries on the defeated side, and determined the post-war international political pattern dominated by the Chinese Empire.

Among them is about the post-war disposition of the British. After some discussion, the participating countries finally decided. After the war, Ireland became independent from the United Kingdom. The Kingdom of Ireland (including Northern Ireland) was formed. Britain was changed to the Kingdom of Great Britain, and the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland were vassals to the Chinese Empire and became vassal states of the Chinese Empire, and the above two countries enjoyed the rights of all other subject states, but the original British Navy and Army were all dissolved, and the Kingdom of Great Britain was occupied by the Chinese Empire, and the Kingdom of Great Britain was only allowed to retain the police, and no more than 80,000 land forces and no more than 20,000 navy, the total tonnage of naval warships shall not exceed 100,000 tons, and the tonnage of a single ship shall be limited to 10,000 tons.

In addition, the overseas colonies of the former Britain, among which the African colonies were taken over by the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and other countries. In the colonies of the Americas, Canada, Jamaica and other places were taken over by the Chinese Empire. The Arab region of the Middle East was included in the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire. India gained independence, but was overseen by the Chinese Empire, became a protectorate of the Chinese Empire, and a few years later became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. In Asia, Malay, Indonesia and other places were all incorporated into the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire established the Nanyang Governor's Office to govern the region. The central and western regions of the Australian mainland were included in the territory of the Chinese Empire and were under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Australia of the Chinese Empire. Places such as Australia and New Zealand were under the trusteeship of the Chinese Empire and became vassals of the Chinese Empire.

As for France, after the defeat, France was subject to both the Chinese Empire and German Germany, and the French mainland was occupied by the Chinese Empire and the German armies, with the northern part occupied by Germany and the southern part occupied by the Chinese Empire. The French Navy and Army were all disbanded, and after the war they were allowed to retain less than 150,000 security forces. Its overseas colonies, among which the colonies in Asia have become independent vassal states of the Chinese Empire, and some small colonies in Oceania and the Americas in France have all been taken over by the Chinese Empire. France's colonies in Africa were taken over by the Chinese Empire, the German Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The Kingdom of Italy, after the war, will be subject to the Chinese Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the same time, and its colonies in North Africa and other places will also be divided between the Chinese Empire, Austria-Hungary and other countries.

As for the post-war United States, it was even more miserable, and its already small overseas colonies were naturally all included in the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire. California, New Mexico, Texas, and other territories in the southern part of the United States that had been acquired through the Mexican-American War were to be returned to Mexico in accordance with the prior agreement with Mexico. But at this time, the internal political situation in Mexico is turbulent, and I can't manage my own one-third of an acre! There is simply no capacity to take over such a vast area. And there is also a general reluctance to return to Mexico in these areas. So the Chinese Empire naturally took over this part of the region and established the Autonomous Federal Government of Northern Mexico, which was responsible for governing this area, which nominally belonged to Mexico, but was actually under the supervision of the Chinese Empire. As a result, the United States lost about 2.4 million square kilometers of territory acquired through the Mexican-American War.

In addition, Alaska and Hawaii, which were originally part of the United States, were also directly included in the territory of the Chinese Empire. Even so, Ren Chao still thinks that the current United States is too big, the United States is not like India, although India also has a vast territory and a larger population, but India's industrial base is weak, poor and backward, and it does not pose any threat to the Chinese Empire, not to mention that India is under the nose of the Chinese Empire, and now it is also under the protection of the Chinese Empire, and it can't make any big waves at all. Before the war, the United States was an industrial power second only to the Chinese Empire, and its scientific and technological and economic level was always at the world's advanced level. Such a large country is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Chinese Empire.

In order to completely relieve this worry, under the instigation of the Chinese Empire, the states in the Midwest and the United States successively announced their secession from the United States Union and established the Democratic Republic of America, with the capital set as Seattle, commonly known as the Democratic United States or Western America. So far, the United States, which had a huge territory, has once again been divided in two. There are only 16 states left in the East Coast of the United States, which are called the Federal United States or East America.

At this point, the original powerful United States was divided into three, its strength was weakened by Yan zhòng, and it was sanctioned by Yan Zhan after the war. Not only was it burdened with huge war reparations, but the army was also disbanded, its territory was completely occupied by the Chinese army, and at the same time, the military industry was also severely restricted, and the United States was in a state of collapse. Although the United States, with its strong industrial base, gradually came out of the shadow of war after several years of recovery, its strength was severely weakened and could only gradually become a second-rate country. And compared with the Chinese Empire, the only superpower in the world at that time, the strength is not the same.

After the war, the Chinese Empire became a superpower spanning three states in Asia, North America, and the ocean, with a territory of more than 30 million square kilometers. In addition, the Chinese Empire also has more than 100 subject countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania, becoming the world's largest power.

On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire held a grand military parade in the capital. Heads of state and political leaders of more than 150 countries around the world attended the event. However, among the more than 150 countries, 108 countries were subject countries of the Chinese Empire, which means that only about 40 countries in the world still retained their completely independent status at that time, and the other countries have become vassals of the Chinese Empire.

At this military parade, the powerful military strength displayed by the Chinese Empire made the world tremble. His Majesty Ren Chao, the Shengwu Emperor of the Chinese Empire, stood on top of the city tower, looked at the cluster of tanks slowly passing below, looked up at the group of planes roaring across the sky and covering the sun, and turned his head to look at the heads of state of different colors on the viewing table, and couldn't help but be proud! At this time, Ren Chao suddenly remembered what he had said before, "I have a dream, I dream that one day Huaxia can recast the majesty of the Heavenly Empire, reproduce the four Yi guest clothes, and the prosperity of all nations!" And today, he finally did it!
