The North American continent ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter in early December, shrouding the vast plains in a blanket of silver.

For the American people, the end of December is undoubtedly the happiest time of the year. In addition to examining their achievements in the past year, Christmas is the most important festival for them. After Thanksgiving in late November, they began to prepare for the celebrations that would take place on the day of Jesus' birth. On Christmas Eve, pubs, dance halls, churches and other public places are crowded, and major cities are illuminated with brilliant neon lights. If an alien spacecraft were to look down from space at this moment, it would be able to see the North American continent with its back to the sun shining brightly. With the exception of a few parts of Europe, there is no light to compete with!

However, in the current year of 1938, these actions of the Americans have almost completely disappeared. Neither the government nor the people involved in it have any desire to hold a celebration; Their eyes are focused on Houston, the capital of southern Texas. Delegations from Germany, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Mexico, and several other robber countries have been holding talks on the distribution of spoils in this land of their own for more than 10 days, and their attitude will determine the fate of the United States of America in the future. To the anger and sadness of the Americans, their government representatives were completely excluded from the negotiation room, and only when the victorious powers were satisfied that they reached a consensus on the partition would they summon themselves to announce the final result. And there is no third option left for me except to accept the order in full and refuse.

December 6th. The U.S. delegation, which had been hanging out of the negotiating table, finally received a note invitation from the allies. The US delegates headed by Secretary of State Borry walked into the meeting hall with extremely mixed feelings. Then he met a series of different foreign eyes. The German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Newright, was confident, as if everything was under Berlin's control; The Austro-Hungarian and Italian representatives looked as usual as if the meeting had little direct connection with them. The representatives of Japan and Mexico had green eyes, as if a jackal had been hungry for several days looking at the fat sheep with a lame leg in front of him; Seeing this battle, Borry couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the other party is definitely not good at coming this time, and the United States doesn't know how much wealth it will be looted by these robbers!

After a brief opening greeting, Newwright, who sat at the top, went straight to the point. A 4-centimeter-thick treaty paper was placed in front of Baoli. At this point, there was nothing to escape from Baori, he took the text and slowly opened the cover of the treaty written in many languages. Soon, a long list of indexes came into his eyes like a torrential rain.

"On the Change of the Division of the Territory of the United States after the War...... President Washington began with the U.S. being confined to the 13 eastern states, but it took a succession of foreign expansion and genocide to steal more than 10 million square kilometers of what is now more than 10 million square kilometers of domestic and foreign territory. This clause is intended to correct the gains of the barbaric wars of the United States in the past, and to bring back to life the fairness and justice that had been suppressed in the dust for more than a century. ”

"The three overseas territories of Cuba, Haiti and Puerto Rico shall be protected by the German Reich; The invaded Canada should be restored to its free and independent status. The United States is obliged to conclude a non-aggression pact with it that guarantees its territorial integrity. The United States should recognize Japan's occupation of the South Philippine Islands and surrender the Hawaiian Islands to Japanese rule; The Panama Canal and its surrounding bases are jointly supervised by Germany, Japan, Austria and Italy. The United States no longer enjoys any privileges in the State of Panama......" Bori took out a square towel from his coat pocket and quietly wiped the cold sweat that overflowed from his forehead: all the overseas gains that the United States had received since 1898 would be completely wiped out with this treaty, and the loss of the Panama Canal would be an unprecedented blow to American strategy!

Barry settled down and turned a new page on the terms in front of him; However, after a few moments, his pupils suddenly widened, and his chubby face was full of shock, anger, fear, and confusion.

"New Mexico and Arizona were returned to Mexico. The 10 southeastern states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina were ruled by Germany, North Carolina and Tennessee were occupied by Austria-Hungary and Italy respectively, and California was placed under Japanese control. The internal affairs, economy, judiciary, and military affairs of one of the above-mentioned states are all controlled by the Allies, and the US government has no right to interfere in any form...... "Seeing the brightly colored political map of the partition below, Borry's eyes were spinning in an instant, and his mind was shocked, and he fainted directly at the negotiating table with a "bang", unconscious. Newwright, who was sitting across from him, was taken aback and hurriedly called the doctor aloud to administer first aid; Ten minutes later, medical staff hurried to the scene and carefully injected a cardiotonic into it. After a short time, Borry, who had fainted, finally woke up, and before the people next to him could speak, two lines of old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his desolate and sad appearance made everyone next to him sour and silent, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.

The return of New Mexico and Arizona to Mexico, which was originally a plateau of mountains and hills; The U.S. took eight or nine large states from the Mexicans, and now two are still within the White House's acceptance of the White House. The next one, however, was utterly intolerable to Borry and to every American: almost all of the 10 states under German rule were fertile soil on the Mississippi Plains, a densely populated, well-equipped, and industrially powerful lands comparable to the Great Lakes industrial region and the northeastern coast. If this region is lost, the overall strength of the United States will have to slip by at least two notches, from the current world absolute to the ordinary first-class level!

Rao is Bori already knew the actual nature of this war and was ready to be strangled in infancy by the other side, but he still did not expect that the Germans would be so ruthless and not give himself any way to live! And in addition to the unbearable weight to be inflicted on the Southeast, California in the West was to fall into the hands of the Japanese; If this happens, the length of the U.S. coastline in the Pacific Ocean will be directly reduced by 60%, and considering that the only few western shipyards such as San Francisco are located in this area, the power of the U.S. Navy will almost be completely expelled from the Pacific Ocean, and it will have nothing to do with the vast sea area of 160 million square kilometers!

Due to Borry's fainting on the spot, the meeting had to be awkwardly interrupted. However, the victorious country had no intention of letting the Americans delay time, and they still handed the peace treaty to the Americans through the other side's lieutenants. After reconditioning his mind, he insisted on reading all the main contents of the treaty while lying on the hospital bed, and by the end, he was already trembling all over, his face was like gold paper, and his despair and depression completely engulfed his heart, making him hate to immediately abandon his current burden and return to his hometown to live in seclusion.

In addition to this clause, which caused the United States to lose 25 percent of its territory and more than one-third of its population, the victorious powers also imposed extremely perfect and severe restrictions on reparations and arms restrictions. The U.S. Navy shall not build or possess aircraft carriers and submarines, and the total number of officers and sailors shall not exceed 30,000; The total number of troops is limited to 150,000, and tanks with a total combat weight of more than 30 tons and heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 127 mm are not allowed to be produced or equipped. Heavy bombers, long-range transport aircraft, and long-range fighters with an offensive nature are absolutely off-limits, and the total size of their aviation is only allowed to exceed 10,000 people. Research in atomic energy technology and rocket technology is also strictly prohibited, and if the United States makes any transgression in these fields, it will certainly face extremely severe punishment. The United States must also pay the Allies a war reparations of up to $90 billion, to be paid over 30 years, with a total of $160 billion in principal and interest, which is already the entire gross national income of the United States for more than three years before the war.

In order to prevent the resurrection of the American war plane, Germany also directly controlled it in the economic field; According to the terms and conditions laid down by the financial magnate Schacht, Germany would directly influence the economic direction of the other side in its trade with the United States after the war, and put an end to any form of understatement of arms buildup through a strategy of comprehensive monitoring of its major banks. Historically, Schacht issued "military tickets" through guò, allowing most of Germany's military spending to escape the monitoring of the Entente, thus greatly concealing the true situation of military expansion. Although Qingying himself knew little about the economy, with the help of this genius saint, he was able to feel extremely relieved about the economic terms of the peace treaty.

"Whoever signs this treaty will have his fingers festering and rotting like peeling a banana!" U.S. Secretary of State Borry, who was on his sickbed, cursed in grief and indignation. The contract was more than he could have imagined, and signing it would be a nullification of all the gains that the United States had made since the Civil War. However, Wallace, who served as acting president, did not have the same barefoot affection as he did. The Germans gave an ultimatum with a time limit of 48 hours, and he was responsible for the fate of the American people; Once the war starts again, the US military, which has lost nearly half of its combat effectiveness in the armistice treaty, will not be an opponent of the enemy, and the United States will also face an even greater disaster!
