    Although the severity of this peace treaty far exceeded the imagination of the U.S. government and people, after a fierce debate, the voices in Congress advocating acceptance of the treaty still prevailed.  If it continues to drag on, the situation will only become more out of control under the opponent's absolute force superiority; now that he can survive, it is already good, where can he have the capital to excessively pursue a comfortable life in the future?  On December 8, 1938, the new U.S. Secretary of State Chris signed the peace treaty on behalf of the White House government.  And this also marks the complete end of the bipolar confrontation between Germany and the United States.  By directly launching a preventive war shortly after the economic crisis ended, Germany used the accumulated advantages of the first-mover country to successfully defeat the potential enemy that posed the greatest threat to itself.  Although the United States, which has lost 15 southern states, is still the world's second largest industry and economy after Germany, there is a qualitative gap in strength between the two sides; not to mention that Germany still occupies an overwhelming position in the conventional military and nuclear fields.  It is almost impossible for the United States to regain its position as a world pole comparable to Germany without the impact of revolutionary technologies that make all the accumulation of wealth and power in the past worth mentioning.  The dream!  After the peace treaty with the United States was concluded, Germany signed the final peace treaty with Britain and France within a week.  Although these two countries were defeated a year ago, because their back-end ally the United States is still at war with Germany, the agreement they reached with Berlin is still a basic armistice agreement, which is far from rising to the level of the war.  The extent to which legal arbitration is conducted.  However, with the final fall of the United States, Britain and France, which had long been under German control, had no power to resist.  After some feeble protest.  In the end, they could only silently accept each other's mercy.  France, which has been unified for nearly 500 years, has ushered in the moment when it must be divided.  The northern region of France controlled by the German army accounted for 40% of the total area.  The "French Democratic Republic" was established in Paris, and former French Prime Minister Laval, who advocated all-round cooperation with Germany, became its national leader; and the latter, like Voroshilov under the guidance of Stalin, was responsible for those appointed in accordance with the Basic Law.  My boss is grateful and does his best to repay his benefactor.  Soon, Germany signed a series of bills with its puppet regime aimed at total control and economic plunder; through the relay of the Paris government, Berlin could radiate its will to the entire northern France.  In addition, it is located in the Port of Saint-Nazaire, the most complete facility in the Bay of Biscay.  It will also be leased to the German Navy for 99 years at an extremely low price, thus giving Germany, which is located in Central Europe, the most ideal platform to directly enter the North Atlantic.  This form of supporting agents to rule is undoubtedly much more efficient than Germany going into battle in person and seizing French territory as its own; although Qingying lost the glorious reputation of opening up territory on its old enemy, it still managed to  Enjoy the actual rights and interests of controlling the entire northern France!  Although southern France, with Vichy as its capital, still maintains complete and sound government functions and powers, their overall national strength has dropped to an unprecedented low with the loss of the northern industrial region.  They are also bound by layers of restrictions and have no choice but to follow the Berlin government currently in charge of Europe.  This powerful country that once overwhelmed the Prussian states and even the entire Europe has now been completely reduced to the bottom, and its comprehensive national strength is far lower than Italy, the weakest link among the Allies.  If Napoleon knew what he was doing, how would he feel about the injustice of his descendants?  And the British Empire, which once stood at its peak on this planet for nearly three hundred years, was known as "the sun never sets over Britain".  Now, 360 years after the victory over the Spanish Armada, we finally have that fateful moment when the sunset slowly sinks below the horizon.  If the British Empire still maintains its status as a superpower after the end of the European War.  So this world war that spread to the Americas destroyed all the capital it relied on to gain a foothold on the world stage.  The main force of the Royal Navy was nearly wiped out in the Battle of the Atlantic. From then on, the maritime shipping between its homeland and the outside world was completely under the coverage of German power; as long as the Qing Dynasty issued an order to go to war, Britain and the outside world would  All contact with the outside world will be completely cut off within half a month.  The German air and land forces have the overwhelming military power to wipe out the British Isles in one fell swoop. With just a few nuclear bombs dropped, England, which has a very high population density, will turn into a hell on earth in an instant!  Due to this situation, Britain, which is only separated by a narrow strip of water from Germany, is undoubtedly a piece of meat on the chopping block, and has no power to resist Germany, which has strangled its absolute destiny in all aspects.  Qingying did not show too much mercy to this former world hegemon; he had decided to follow the strategy implemented by the United States after the Suez Canal Crisis, that is, by depriving it of all the colonies it owned, the island country was freed from external threats.  The market declined sharply due to massive losses and eventually degenerated.It has become a second-rate country that can only exert a certain influence in Europe, thereby completely burying the dream existence that once played a decisive role in all parts of the world.  According to the formal peace treaty signed between Germany and Britain in Hamburg, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will receive full status. Although they can choose whether to continue to be members of the Commonwealth according to their own wishes, the United Kingdom must guarantee that no matter what the outcome,  These new countries had the right to absolute equality in all fields.  In addition, all overseas colonies, including Gibraltar, South Africa, India, Singapore, and Malaysia, were placed under the control of the Allies. All future changes in these lands would have nothing to do with the London government.  Britain must hand over all existing facilities and wealth in the above-mentioned colonies intact, and must not carry away the inventory reserves in any form; in return, Germany will also give up its demand for war reparations from Britain.  Since Britain will lose its former strength after losing its colonies, Qingying will not impose too many restrictions on the other side in the military field.  Apart from a ban on the development and possession of nuclear weapons, there are no requirements for the British armed forces.  Behind this seemingly magnanimous attitude is the absolute suppression of the other country's national power: even if it expands its armaments freely, it can no longer pose any threat to Germany, whose economic and industrial strength far exceeds that of Germany.  The British negotiators are naturally aware of this. However, the era of the Anglo-Saxon nation is gone forever. Unable to reverse the trend, they can only choose to accept the reality and hold more than three hundred people in their hands.  The crown imperial seal of the year was handed over to the emerging German state!  With the dancing frost and snow, the melodious ringing of bells, and the fireworks blooming in the night sky, the great wheel of time sailed past Christmas Eve in 1938, and officially entered a new era a few days later.  For the German people, they have countless reasons to revel all night long in these two festival celebrations: the new world order has been formed, and they have already gone one step further on the basis of the British Empire and become the most prosperous in the world.  Super nation.  Rolling out the long map, looking down into the universe, you can firmly grasp the vast land of more than 22 million square kilometers, and you will feel an unspeakable excitement surging in your heart.  All the enemies are crawling at their feet, living a life in the cracks of relying on their own breath to survive; looking back at the 70-year journey since Emperor William unified Germany, every time,  Every step is the most exciting and immortal note in this magnificent and epic movement!  On New Year¡¯s Day in 1939, Germany held a large-scale military parade to celebrate victory in Berlin. The rolling torrent of armed troops arrived from the Brandenburg Gate to the palace. The cheers of hundreds of thousands of people in the square were deafening.  Under the blue sky and white clouds, countless red, white and black Iron Cross flags fluttered in the morning wind, and the entire city of Berlin seemed to turn into a sea of ??three colors; and for the two generations on the viewing platform who led the country to today's victory and status  Emperor, the German people have no other way to express their reverence and support. They can only use the continuous cheers like landslides and tsunamis to vent their raging emotions.  In order to show its invincible military power to the people and the world, and to establish its peak status as the third empire on which the sun never sets, the German army and air force even showed off some skills that had never been seen on the battlefield before during this military parade.  The latest weapons used on.  The Panther tank, with a total combat weight of 35 tons, formed the second armored formation after the Tiger tank. It rumbled past the palace amid the surprised eyes of thousands of people; the air was filled with the unique smell of burning diesel.  But this does not reduce their strong interest in this new tank at all.  This tank is a revolutionary attempt made by the General Staff in the field of main battle tanks in later generations according to Qingying's instructions; it adopts a completely new internal layout that is completely different from previous tanks, and compresses the height and height of the vehicle as much as possible.  Utilize the internal space to improve the performance of the tank under limited tonnage and cost.  Although its weight is only 3 tons heavier than the current main tank IV H, and only about 70% of the Tiger tank, its offensive and defensive performance is basically at the same level as the latter, and its mobility is even improved due to the reduced weight.  Even better!  In comparison, this lightweight tank is obviously more suitable for mass production than the Tiger, and it is fully capable of the latter's breakthrough effect in actual combat.  (To be continued) ps: Thanks to book friends Bookworm Harmless and Hidden Holy Spirit for their monthly ticket support, and Golden Crab and zhouyu1976 for their rewards~~~ Chapter 787 Peak of Victory:
