Chapter 780: War and Peace
"Bang!" A series of fireworks burst into the sky over Berlin, illuminating the dark and dreary night sky. In the main hall of the palace in the center of the city, it is already a banquet scene with staggered and noble marquis. Accompanied by the cheerful and light waltz played by the band, the richly dressed dignitaries and the ladies with heavy makeup released their joyful hearts in pairs of dances; Waiters carrying wine trays weave through the crowd like butterflies, handing over delicacies and wines collected from various occupied countries to the guests. There is only one reason for this rare extravagant dinner in the palace: the newly formed US government had signed the armistice six hours earlier, and the ocean-going expedition that had lasted more than a year had finally come to a successful end!
Because this victory of the forced landing on the United States was of historic significance comparable to the defeat of Britain in the last war, not only all the military and political dignitaries in Berlin attended the meeting, but even the former Emperor Wilhelm, who had long since retired to the background, also appeared with Qingying at the banquet. The emergence of these two monarchs, who represented the German Empire in the age of coal and steel and the era of the internal combustion engine, respectively, also pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to the highest peak. As far as the eye can see, the crowd is full of good chanting and praying, and vaguely, Qingying seems to be in some extremely centralized socialist country, and as a man-made god-like leader, he has received the crazy thunderous cheers of the billions of people.
"These American nouveau riche were enemies of Germany as early as the last war, and provided war materials worth hundreds of billions of marks to Britain and France; Now, this criminal act of theirs has finally been justly punished. After tasting a little sweetness, William, with his silver hair, spoke in a tone full of vengeful pleasure. This time. We want to give Americans a taste of the terrible consequences of daring to interfere in European affairs. If they dare to say anything more, we will use force to bring them back to the colonial situation before independence. ”
Qingying smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Since the moment the Americans accepted this armistice condition, they have been deprived of all the ability to compete with Germany, and they have no choice but to accept the text of the peace treaty that we proposed later. At present, we are already negotiating with several allies about the situation in post-war North America, based on the national power of Deutsche Wailing and its absolute contribution to the war. The post-war fate of North America can also be said to be entirely up to us. ”
On July 9, with the signing of his name by U.S. Secretary of State Bowry to the armistice, the core combat strength of the U.S. armed forces ceased to exist. According to this armistice agreement, the US military will hand over 80 percent of its combat aircraft, 50 percent of its tanks and heavy artillery, 20,000 light artillery pieces and heavy machine guns, 2 million tons of light fuel oil, and 500,000 tons of ammunition as a guarantee of peace. The Manhattan Science and Technology Zone, where the bomb was made, and chemical weapons depots throughout the country were guarded by German troops, and the Manhattan campus suspended research and production activities on the day of the armistice. With the suspension of the operating nuclear reactors and uranium enrichment plants, and the looting of all nuclear materials, including uranium ore and all semi-finished enrichments, by the Germans, Qingying undoubtedly wanted to curb the United States' nuclear weapons manufacturing capabilities at the source. Always maintain a strong deterrent against them in this area.
Out of concern not to excessively irritate the American people, the terms of the armistice offered by Germany on the navy appeared to be quite mild. But in the eyes of professionals, it is undoubtedly still a knife to the flesh, directly depriving the US Navy of its aggressiveness to the point that there is nothing left behind. All aircraft carriers were to be towed to the German-controlled port of Havana, Cuba, for safekeeping, while unfinished aircraft carriers were dismantled on the spot under Allied supervision; The submarine force surrendered to the German Navy, and the submarines under construction were treated in the same way as the aircraft carriers. The U.S. artillery fleet was almost intact, including five 60,000-ton Montana-class battleships; However, after previous naval battles, the U.S. Navy was equally ungrateful for the mercy of the Germans.
In addition, the 100-page armistice treaty also contained many other aspects such as equipment production, weapons research and development, occupation management, and suppression of resistance, and was intended to make the United States an industrial country without normal defense rights, and at the mercy of the Allies. Although the newly formed U.S. government is deeply uneasy about this treaty with obvious intentions, it has no choice in the face of strong military pressure and nuclear deterrence. According to Wallace, is it necessary to waste the lives of millions of Americans for an end that is doomed to failure? His mission is to free the American people from the suffering of the current war!
Hearing Qingying's words, William didn't say anything more, he had already handed over the power to rule this empire to the bloodline descendants in front of him, and the other party had already proved his heroism and wisdom with countless facts. It would not be long before Germany would gain its place on the North American continent through a peace treaty, and the new order formed by this peace treaty would also mark the end of the German-American hegemony that had been formed after the Great War in Europe: with the corpse of the United States of America, Germany had finally stepped onto the top of the most powerful empire on the planet, and had an infinite view of the mountains. With the huge colonial territory that spreads all over the world and the strong support of the European continental core that unifies the Golden Ou, today's Germany has surpassed the British Empire in its heyday before Jiazi and has become the third superpower in the history of human civilization that can be awarded the title of "the sun never sets"!
"Now all our enemies are left is the Red Bolshevik demon of the East. Tens of millions of people have died at the hands of this unprecedentedly evil regime that has plagued Eastern Europe for more than 20 years, and we must not allow it to survive in the civilized world of mankind in the name of God. William seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes, which were originally full of joy, also revealed a little murderous hatred; Under the shroud of the imperial temperament accumulated by him in charge of imperial power for more than 30 years, everyone who witnessed his eyes felt a chill in their hearts.
Seeing William's sudden turn to coldness and abruptness, Qingying was clear in her heart about the reason: in 1914, Lord Elisabeth, who was known for her kindness and benevolence among the poor class of Russia, was buried alive by Bolshevik soldiers in her church residence in St. Petersburg on charges of "reactionary bloodsuckers", and she was the sweet and painful first love of his cousin who made William remember for life. After more than 60 years, this feeling has always been precipitated in his heart, and it is still as fiery as his youth after the mountains and rivers have changed. Whether it was sharply opposed ideologies or personal hatreds and old hatreds, William had a deep hatred for the Red Russian regime! (This is explained in detail in Chapter XXX, "William's Black History.") And this is not the author's fabrication, this emperor did have a secret abandoned by his beloved when he was a teenager. )
Qing Ying sighed quietly in his heart, and then said slowly: "Now that the war in the Americas is over, we don't need to devote all our energy to the battlefield in the west, and it is indeed time to settle accounts for the regime in the east that has created endless blood and terror." I have given orders through the General Staff that those units of ethnic Russians in the Imperial Army may voluntarily choose whether or not to join Alyosha the Younger's republican camp; These conscripted troops from Poland and Ukraine are very large, and even if only some of them are willing to fight, they will be a very strong force. In addition, the volunteer army is also a force to be reckoned with, and at present there are quite a few young people throughout Europe who want to fight to the death against the evil Bolsheviks, and we can draw a force of at least 10 divisions without the main force of the army. And in terms of weapons and equipment, we will also give Alyosha Jr. full support. After all, the empire's war industry is still running at full speed, and the massive amount of materials produced by these factories due to their own inertia can be supplied to the restoration army of Alyosha Jr. As long as our war materials are tilted a little to the east, and their surging total amount is beyond the squandering of the limited number of Restoration troops, the Red Russians will soon learn what an overwhelming steel bombardment is. ”
William's heart shook, and the trace of murderous hatred in his eyes quickly turned into joy and joy again.
"In fact, even if we do not participate in this war in the east, it will be difficult for the Red Russian army, which has no personnel and weapons and equipment to look at directly, to hold out for much longer. If it weren't for the fact that Alyosha Jr. would have owed us more debt, so that the restored Russian Empire could have been more easily controlled by Germany by economic means, we would have been able to sit back and watch the civil war between the Russians. Qing Ying added, "At present, the empire is also negotiating with the representatives of South Russia on the Lend-Lease bill for the provision of war materials, so as to find an outlet for our excess military production capacity, which is also very happy to be seen by both sides." ”
"So, we can already celebrate in advance for the fall of the last enemy?" William raised the delicate wine glass in front of him, and his silver-white pointed beard pointed straight to the sky with the joy in his heart. Smiling happily, Qingying drank all the wine in her glass, but the outline of another island country appeared in her heart: maybe in the next few years, there will be a confrontation between herself and them.
