Chapter 660: A Successful Assembly
September 18, 1878
At the Summit of the Americas held in Panama, the participating countries unanimously agreed to formally establish the "Organization for Cooperation of the American Union," or "American Alliance" for short.
This is the first permanent international organization established between states in the world today, and it is also the first intercontinental cooperation organization, which is of great guiding significance for regulating the international order.
There are three countries in North America: the Tang Empire, the United States of America, and the United States of America. In South America, there are 8 countries in total: Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Venezuela, a total of 11 countries forming the "American Alliance".
As an observer country, Canada attended the summit as observer along with envoys from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Fuso, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, Lanfang, and Amami, as well as the governors of Dominica, Suriname, French Guiana, British Guiana, and Belgian Guiana.
On the issue of Canada's formal statehood, Datang, Canada, and the United Kingdom have repeatedly wrestled for more than 4 years, but no one has been convinced, and the suspense of the status is still to be determined.
Because of this
Canada was only then excluded from the inaugural meeting of the first "American Alliance" organization, unable to become a founding member and unable to enjoy the convenience of negotiating the entire agenda, and could only appear in ceremonial meetings.
This greatly restricts Canada's right to speak, making him stare dryly and unable to exert his energy.
Since Emperor Richard wants to hold a perfect diplomatic event, all the members unanimously agree on the establishment of the "American Alliance", and a number of institutional charters have been implemented, he must vigorously push down Canada, the biggest variable.
Don't let him play the characteristics of a-stirring stick, and don't give him a chance to get on and off his hands.
Three days later
After several days of closed-door meetings between the heads of state of the US Union, the constitution of the "US Alliance", the purpose of the organization, the location of its headquarters, the political, economic, cultural, educational, and diplomatic fields of close cooperation among the member states, the dispute mediation mechanism of the member states, the Inter-American Cooperation and Development Bank, the status of the only permanent member of Datang, the rotation mechanism of the other two non-permanent members, and the secretary-general and various institutions of the US Union under it, were all agreed.
A discerning person can see it
The fact that the United States and the United States have not agreed on the most sensitive military cooperation shows that there are large differences within the countries, and that cooperation in many fields is now the biggest concession, which finally makes Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other powers breathe a sigh of relief.
It would be terrible to really form a huge military alliance for the whole of America.
Let's be honest
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and other world powers are completely unaware of the tremendous power of the establishment of the "American Alliance".
They also did not realize that the establishment of the "US Alliance" was completely different from the European military alliance, but an all-round cooperation in politics, economy, culture, education, and even diplomacy, and even subtly changed the political pattern of the world.
The "American Union" is a new thing, which is completely beyond the general understanding of the world powers.
Europeans are no strangers to alliances, from the seven anti-French alliances at the beginning of this century to the German, Russian, and Austrian alliances in Europe today, which are typical examples of national alliances.
But the world powers ignored the difference between the "American Union" and the European Union mentioned above.
That is, after the establishment of the "American Union", there is no time limit for its termination. This means that as long as it is not unanimously opposed by all member States, this permanent international organization among States will continue to exist forever.
On the other hand, the German-Russian-Austrian Three Emperors Alliance must be renewed every five years, and if it is not renewed, it will be equivalent to dissolution.
At the beginning of this century, the anti-French alliance, which mainly opposed the military orientation of France, was dissolved every time it was defeated, and it was very time-sensitive.
The "American Union" is an all-round cooperation between the inter-state joint institutions, from politics, customs union, economic cooperation, cultural and educational exchanges, poverty alleviation and disaster reduction, to the establishment of national dispute mediation mechanisms, inter-American regional banks, etc., covering almost all aspects of political and economic life, is a comprehensive cooperation of the Inter-American Union.
This is conducive to the unimpeded export of oriental culture, soft power, and national ideology of the Tang Empire, which imperceptibly influences various American countries.
With a long history of 5,000 years, Oriental culture is rich in connotation, and is an independent cultural system completely different from Western culture.
Through the subtle influence of tens of hundreds of years, the gradual Chineseization of American countries has become an irresistible trend.
The Spaniards and Portuguese colonized the Americas for more than 300 years, and most of the countries in South America use Spanish or Portuguese, which is the influence of a strong culture.
The British colonized North America for more than 100 years, and most of the inhabitants of North America used English, which became the most important lingua franca.
In the 32 years since the rise of the Tang Empire, the Chinese language has been extended to most of the Americas, as well as Central and South America.
In time
It is fully foreseeable that Chinese will become the first common popular language in the Americas, and it will become one of the main languages used in the world in harmony with the Chinese cultural circle on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and its status will be greatly enhanced compared with the original history.
In South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Peru, in the United States of America, the Confederation of Milan, and Canada, the Chinese language is now the second most spoken language, thanks to the fact that the Chinese population far exceeds the original historical level.
The economically prosperous and powerful Tang Empire has become a beacon of yearning for all countries, with strong attraction and temptation.
Many upper-class families in North and South American countries have asked their children to learn Bahasa Malaysia, be able to use fluent dialogue in Bahasa Malaysia, and be able to study in Datang's colleges and universities in the future, which is also a manifestation of the country's soft power.
In addition to far surpassing the European alliances in terms of time and comprehensiveness, the "US Alliance" organization also has a more tangible organizational charter, the purpose of the alliance, and a strong subordinate secretarial body, which are all incomparable to a single military alliance in Europe.
In the military sphere
The leaders of the American countries unanimously agreed to establish the "American Alliance Peacekeeping Force," whose members are drawn from the armed forces of various countries, and the total number of troops is maintained at about 5,000.
As a military organization under the permanent secretariat of the United States Alliance, the "U.S. Peacekeepers" have the right to intervene in regional hotspot disputes with the consent of the majority of member states to prevent conflicts from turning into wars.
This is a compromise of the member states of the Americas to the Tang Empire's strong demand for military cooperation, especially the Chilean junta and the Venezuelan junta, which are far more sensitive to military power than political and economic cooperation.
Under the pressure of the Tang Empire, this nondescript "U.S. Alliance Peacekeeping Army" was finally created, which can be regarded as leaving a back door for expanding cooperation in the military field in the future.
After all, it is the heads of state who sit down to talk together, even if the Tang Empire is strong, and has just destroyed Colombia, Ecuador and Cuba, and there are two thugs around Uruguay and Paraguay, it is impossible to force countries to give up their dominance in the military field.
The military sphere is a matter of national sovereignty, especially the military dictatorships of South America, which cannot be backed down under any circumstances.
Fortunately, the Tang Empire is not too much, and it will harvest when it is good, and most of the fruits of victory will be in the bag.
So, this became what Emperor Richard said; "A triumphant congress, a perfect congress, a congress of American solidarity and cooperation, will surely usher in a new chapter in history......"
After most of the results of the conference were settled, the heads of state of the Americas attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the headquarters of the "American Alliance," and Emperor Richard, surrounded by the heads of state, symbolically shoveled the first shovel of soil.
The headquarters of "Meimeng" is a 12-storey semi-circular skyscraper, the roof has a distinctive Chinese eaves style, is a large-scale building complex integrating modern and Han and Tang architectural styles, with 7 auxiliary buildings of different heights, showing the trend of "seven stars and the moon".
The entire U.S. Alliance headquarters is spread over 136 acres and is located on the banks of the scenic Panama River.
In addition to one main building and seven auxiliary buildings, there are also buildings such as the headquarters of the Inter-American Bank, the headquarters of the U.S. Union Peacekeepers, the living quarters of the permanent secretariat, the international block, and the representative area of various countries in the U.S. Union.
The cost of all the construction was covered by the Tang royal family, and Emperor Richard approved 2.2 million Tang Yuan with a stroke of his pen for the construction of various buildings of the headquarters of the "United States", which were given to the "United States" free of charge after they were completed.
Emperor Richard paid great attention to this cooperative organization of the American Alliance, which demonstrated the hegemonic foundation of the Tang Empire, and put forward many decision-making opinions on the architectural design and layout of the headquarters of the "American Alliance".
For example, it is necessary to build some pavilions and pavilions that are very rich in oriental garden style, so that the officials of the "American League" can enjoy themselves and have the opportunity to get in touch with oriental tea culture, music, calligraphy and opera. Accept the unique oriental food culture and other aspects, cultivate the body and mind, and also be influenced by the culture.
The 12-storey main building of the headquarters of the United States Alliance is shaped like a bending moon, that is, the layout of "seven stars and the moon", with the help of the surging water of the Panama River, forming a feng shui bureau of "wind borrowing water potential, water helping popularity, seven stars arching the moon, and prosperity on top of prosperity".
This "Seven Stars Arch Moon" Feng Shui Bureau is rich in oriental philosophy, and it has some wonderful points when studied carefully.
The seven stars symbolize the countries of the Americas, and the moon is naturally the Tang Empire, which is nothing to say.
As the only permanent member of the "American Alliance" organization, the Tang Empire has a chair higher than others and a higher table during talks, and it is the main seat every time.
This made Prime Minister Dong Jie, who attended the summit talks, extremely bright, and in the closed-door talks, he played an extraordinary level, and finally forced the heads of state of the Americas to submit to the rules, and basically achieved the predetermined goal.
Emperor Richard did not attend the closed-door talks of the summit, and his position in Panama City was like a god's residence, which became the cornerstone of the success of the entire Summit of the Americas.
This is how the President of the Chilean military junta, General Andyvar Pinto Gamondia, who participated in the closed-door summit talks, described his feelings;
"Whenever there is an argument over an anxious issue, Prime Minister Dong Jie will make no secret of his threats; Think about whether your country, your people, can withstand the wrath of His Majesty the Holy Emperor?
This is like a huge cannon with a black hole on the back, and a wrong answer is the end of the country's ruin, no one can not give in, and neither can I. ”
