- As World War II came to an end, the world seemed to have entered a new period of peace.
More than 100 countries and regions participated in the Second World War, affecting 2.2 billion people, accounting for 96% of the world's population. The war spread to Europe, America, Asia, Africa, the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. The combat area covers an area of ??31 million square kilometers. Both warring parties mobilized 120 million troops. Direct military expenditures totaled approximately 5 trillion dragon coins, accounting for 70% to 90% of the total national income of the warring countries. The total value of the total material losses of the participating countries reached 6 Trillions of dragon coins.
The Soviet Union suffered the greatest losses in the war. After more than 20 years of development, the Soviet Union once achieved great economic achievements, ranking third in the world. However, after the Soviet-German War, the economic losses of the Soviet Union were calculated based on the 1937 price ratio. The direct economic losses caused by the Nazi invaders to the Soviet Union were 720 billion yuan, and the indirect economic losses to the Soviet Union were 720 billion yuan. Economic losses reached 2.5 trillion dragon coins, causing the Soviet Union to set back 20 years.
?? 43% of all losses suffered by the participating countries in World War II were losses by the Soviet Union. Next is Nazi Germany, accounting for 32%. During World War I, the German mainland suffered almost no losses, but during World War II, the German mainland was heavily bombed by the Allied Forces. Especially when the Chinese Empire tried to prevent the German army from developing nuclear weapons, it sent more than 10,000 sorties every day to bomb major cities in Germany, causing heavy losses to Germany. According to materials released by the German Third Reich, Germany's material losses during World War II amounted to 21.6 trillion marks based on 1941 prices, equivalent to more than 580 billion dragon coins.
The Second World War was by far the deadliest war in history, with approximately 170 million people killed. Among them, more than 38 million people died in the Soviet Union, 29 million people died in Germany, more than 27 million people died in the United States, about 930,000 people died in Italy, 890,000 people died in France, and a total of 400,000 people died in the United Kingdom (including soldiers and civilians) Deaths, the majority of which were civilians.
"Only 13,000 people died in the Chinese Empire, the vast majority of whom were soldiers. There are less than a thousand civilians. This is mainly due to the fact that the Chinese Empire entered the war last, and the mainland was not attacked. There are also many servants who serve as cannon fodder for the Chinese Empire.
At least 130 million people were injured, but it is impossible to count.
After World War II, the Chinese Empire became the biggest winner of this war.
By the end of the 43rd year of Guanghua. The Imperial Cabinet of China publishes an annual report on national economic achievements. The report provides statistics on major projects measuring the national economy. The Chinese Empire continues to rank first in the world with a gross national product of 318 billion yuan. Accounting for 75% of the global economy. Germany continues to occupy the second position in the world, but the national consumption of the war has reduced its gross national product to 45 billion dragon coins. The United States, which ranked fourth before the war, even dropped out of the 20th place because it was split into 13 small countries.
The economic rankings of major powers such as Britain, France, and Italy have basically not changed, and they are still among the top ten in the world. It was damaged and dragged down by the war. The economies are all in collapse, all set back at least 15 to 25 years. But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although many countries in Asia and South America have not been affected by the war and have seen steady economic growth, compared with the old capitalist countries in Europe that have hundreds of years of primitive accumulation. It's still hard to catch up with.
During the war, the whole world knew that the Chinese Empire made huge war fortunes. This was highlighted by the fact that the steel output of the Chinese Empire exceeded the 80 million tons mark, reaching an astonishing 84.5 million tons. More than 60% of the steel was exported to various warring countries. Due to the destruction of the war, the annual steel output of Germany, which was originally the second largest country in the world, dropped from 19 million tons before the war to a pitiful 730,000 tons. Almost 88% of Germany's local steel plants were severely damaged.
With such a huge steel output, the Chinese Empire naturally made a fortune during the war. However, after the war, steel in various countries began to recover. Without the stimulation of the war, steel demand began to decline.
The situation of steel supply exceeding demand is taking shape. Either reduce production, destroy excess steel, or open new markets. The challenge is very serious. Therefore, the Chinese Imperial Cabinet actively promotes economic stimulus plans.
Production reduction affects employee employment and welfare distribution. Increase employment pressure. It is very distressing to destroy excess steel, so the only thing left is to open up new markets.
Europe and the United States are almost in ruins, and post-war reconstruction work is bound to proceed. However, European and American countries no longer have the ability to buy steel from the Chinese Empire, so price reductions are inevitable. But lowering prices is not a long-term solution. The recovery of the domestic steel industry in Europe and the United States would have a serious impact on the steel industry in the Chinese Empire.
??Similarly, the phenomenon of excess resources and commodities is not limited to the steel industry. The Chinese Empire ranks first in the world in terms of industrial commodity production in all walks of life, and the scale of commodity surplus is huge. The Economic Planning Administration of the Chinese Empire Cabinet has judged that if measures are not taken in time to solve the problem, a serious economic crisis will occur in the Chinese Empire in the next five years.
To this end, the Chinese Emperor Wang Chenhao proposed an imperial plan to assist Europe and the United States. The Imperial Project was intended to serve as a warning to the Chinese Empire inAllied countries of the United States have provided huge amounts of low-interest loans to help European and American countries restore their economic strength as soon as possible. But economic aid comes with political strings attached. That is to say, when European and American countries obtain aid loans from the Chinese Empire, they need to develop their domestic markets to the Chinese Empire. The loans provided by the Chinese Empire can only be used to purchase industrial products and technical assistance from the Chinese Empire. This ensures the industrial advantages of the Chinese Empire in the long run. occupy the European and American markets.
The Emperor¡¯s Plan was quickly welcomed by European and American countries, so the Chinese Empire launched a one trillion dragon coin aid plan to revitalize the European and American economies. According to the evaluation report of the Chinese Empire's cabinet, within twenty years, this trillion dragon coins will bring at least five times the profit to the Chinese Empire, that is, it can earn five trillion dragon coins for the Chinese Empire.
However, the Emperor Plan also has a political purpose, which is to strengthen the alliance between the member states of the United Nations, led by the Chinese Empire.
The Second World War ended, but the Allied Powers group headed by the German Third Reich was not completely eliminated. Hitler's war machine was not completely shut down.
As the Sino-German secret treaty came into effect, the Chinese Empire supported Free France and marched towards Sustain France, completely wiping out the remnants of Sustain France within a week and unifying the entire France.
Similarly, Germany blamed the Soviet army for massacring 30,000 German prisoners of war and raping hundreds of thousands of German women in German East Prussia, using this as an excuse to declare war on the Soviet Union again.
Stalin asked the Chinese Empire for help, but the Chinese Empire and the entire United Nations only called for an armistice and peace talks between the Soviet Union and Germany, and did not put real pressure on Germany. The coalition forces in the surrounding areas of Germany accelerated their withdrawal and watched the Soviet-German war begin.
Until this time, Stalin was already very aware of the political conspiracy of the Chinese Empire and other countries. They would not allow the existence of the Soviet Union as a red force, so they would allow Germany to continue to invade the Soviet Union.
Stalin could only call on the Soviet people to continue fighting against the German Nazi invading army. However, the elite Soviet army was exhausted. The remaining million Soviet soldiers were all new recruits whose average age was simply unable to resist the German attack. What's more, the German army has nuclear weapons and is invincible. No matter how this war is fought, the Soviet Union will be defeated.
On March 18, 1944, in the Third Battle of Kursk, the main Soviet army of more than 330,000 people was wiped out by the German First SS Army Group. At this point, the Soviet army was no longer able to fight the German army.
With military defeat, political system rejected by the whole world, economic collapse, and without any international assistance, the Soviets finally collapsed.
On March 20, Stalin sought peace with Hitler to no avail and announced his surrender that afternoon.
The surrender of the Soviet Union was as short-lived as the Paris Commune. After the German army took control of the entire Soviet Union, Hitler immediately ordered the dissolution of the Soviet political parties and arrested a large number of die-hard elements. At the same time, Hitler supported Nikolaevich, the leader of the Congress Party in the Duma Parliament of the former Tsarist Russia and a member of the Tsarist royal family, to restore the Tsarist Russian government, but changed it to a constitutional monarchy and was governed by the pro-German Congress Party.
On April 3, the new government of Tsarist Russia announced that it would join the German Confederation. At the same time, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland also joined the German Confederation.
On April 7, Hitler announced in Berlin the abolition of the Allied Treaty and the establishment of the Greater Federal Republic of Germany, referred to as the German Union. On the 11th, the member states of the German League signed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a political and military offensive and defensive alliance, in Berlin, referred to as NATO.
The newly born German League and NATO military organizations posed new threats to the whole world. Countries such as Britain and France faced new challenges. Under this situation, the Chinese Empire proposed the Imperial Assistance Plan, whose purpose was to draw Britain, France and other countries to the Chinese Empire. Come to the front.
Since after World War II, Germany and other original allied countries were also approved to join the United Nations, it is not up to the Chinese Empire to decide whether the United Nations is no longer a country. Therefore, the United Nations was no longer important to the Chinese Empire.
On May 5, the 44th year of Guanghua, the Chinese Empire convened a meeting of the federal member states in the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere. At the meeting, they unanimously agreed to establish a unanimous foreign political alliance among the member states of Greater China and signed a military offensive and defensive alliance treaty to target Germany. The imperial NATO military organization established the Warsaw Pact military organization headed by the Chinese Empire.
In this way, the newly born German League became the only country in the world that could fight against the Chinese Empire, announcing the formation of a two-level world structure between the Chinese Empire and the German League, and the Warsaw Pact and NATO established by both parties became new military groups and engage in confrontation.
Since the Chinese Empire and the German Federation have nuclear weapons, both sides are very careful to avoid the outbreak of frontal military conflict and avoid the outbreak of nuclear war, so China and Germany behave as a Cold War. It was difficult for a full-scale war to break out between the two major military blocs of the Warsaw Pact and NATO, and the battles between the two sides shifted to small-scale wars, mainly local wars.
