    Ten months later, Germany also signed the final peace treaty with Japan.  ¡Ê¡âAccording to the provisions of the treaty, Japan will fully withdraw its troops from foreign occupied areas and completely give up its rule over the area; this means that whether it is North Korea that it invaded and annexed in its early years, or the southern Philippines, Hawaii, and California that it acquired in recent years  , and the fertile land of East Asia will all break away from Tokyo's domineering and fierce rule and usher in their own new life.  Japanese living on these lands must sell or bring their inherent assets back to the country within 15 days, otherwise they will be regarded as prisoners of war and arrested.  Through this method, Japan's basis of rule in these areas was completely uprooted. From now on, they no longer have an objective basis for controlling these areas.  In the military field, the treaty also placed a strict iron hoop on Japan after the war.  Japan's annual military spending must not exceed 5% of government revenue, and the number of active-duty personnel in the army and navy is limited to 80,000 and 25,000 respectively; cutting-edge weapons such as heavy bombers, ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, and aircraft carriers are prohibited from research and development.  possesses, the air force is prohibited from forming, and Germany has the right to permanently station a monitoring organization in Japan to strictly prevent it from violating the treaty.  All research and development projects that are contrary to the previous regulations are immediately terminated, personnel disbandment data are destroyed; and existing weapons that violate the regulations are immediately handed over as part of war reparations.  The aviation force that the Japanese Navy had worked so hard to develop was cut off, and there was no longer any aircraft carrier that could carry them soaring across the blue sea and sky.  In addition, Japan¡¯s personnel and political structure also suffered a fundamental cleansing impact in the treaty.  The base camp was disbanded, and the war-obsessed Imperial soldiers and far-right individuals were comprehensively liquidated: a large number of them were detained and detained, and dozens of them were prosecuted as core war criminals.  And those grassroots officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who had been violent and violent on foreign battlefields and committed numerous bloody crimes.  Old accounts will also be turned over without exception.  and pushed to a military court for trial.  As for the political realm.  The collapsed constitutional system was reshaped, and party leaders once again became the core first choice of the prime minister and cabinet members; the emperor issued a decree to amend the constitution, defining himself as an ordinary man and not a god, and his inherent military and political power also changed with the constitution  As most of them were decentralized, they gradually became only symbolic totems.  Although this treaty, which aims to completely "discapacitate" Japan in the field of external expansion, triggered a roar of grief and indignation from right-wing forces in Japan once it was launched; however, after a day of intense meetings, the base camp still announced that all  Accepted the other party's conditions.  There is no other reason. Japan can no longer bear the kind of apocalyptic destruction and disaster that happened on December 16 last year.  Whether it's a meat bomb attack or 100 million pieces of jade.  It is meaningless in the face of the nuclear missiles launched from a distance by the other side; after all, there are only a very small number of crazy people who want to make the entire country die for "arming all directions", and the vast majority of the people want to live their lives peacefully.  After the vote, the peace talks faction finally occupied an absolute dominant position.  Now that the traditional harsh military government has fallen, Japan¡¯s domestic propaganda, which was once suppressed to silence, finally begins to have contrary voices.  With the strong promotion of Germany, some newspapers and broadcasts in Japan began to expose the dark background of the military government: in addition to internal oppression and exploitation and making the people pay painfully for its high military expenditures, it also committed a large number of brutal crimes during its external expansion.  It was also exposed, and reports of various burnings, killings, and looting were endless.  Although this still cannot completely change Japan's domestic social trend of not admitting its defeat, it also provides a conclusive rationale for Germany's severe punishment of Japan in the treaty.  The Japanese Empire, which once dominated the Far East and became the only emerging imperialist power in Asia, collapsed after the signing of this peace treaty.  It became a fleeting wave in the long river of history.  With the rapid decline of its national power after being hit by a salvo of nuclear bombs, and the fundamental difference between the new government and the imperial army in the field of domestic and foreign affairs.  The huge armed force that was once second only to Germany also began its process of disintegration.  Soldiers were demobilized in large numbers, equipment was sealed and destroyed, and naval warships were dragged to shipyards in batches for dismantling after transporting Japanese civilians from foreign occupied areas back to the homeland.  The fluttering red and white rising sun flags gradually disappeared from the Pacific Ocean, replaced by black iron crosses; although their number was far less than that of the former in its heyday, no country could look askance at it.  Qingying also properly handled and distributed the legacy of the old Japanese Empire.  The southern Philippines and Hawaiian Islands were taken over by Germany, thus achieving complete control of the world's oceans.  The Korean Peninsula made it independent, and Germany had no need or willingness to find a new colony in Northeast Asia.  California, located on the west coast of North America, was merged into the "Democratic Republic of America" ??composed of 12 southern states to compete with the United States in the north, with Washington as its capital.  In response to the latter's participation in the sanctions embargo against Japan initiated by Germany two years ago, and in response to the failed request for territory in California,??, Germany exempted the northern United States from paying huge reparations to Japan, and returned some of the former U.S. Pacific Fleet ships captured by Japan to the White House government.  However, these economic sweeteners are only small favors after all, and Germany, which dominates all this, is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary in the overall strategy.  Time is like water, years are like songs, and time flows quickly through Qingying¡¯s fingers like fine sand.  During this period, except for some frictions between Austria-Hungary and Italy, Imperial Russia and Siberia, and the Balkan countries, which required Germany to take center stage, there were no important matters worthy of Qingying's troubles, and he thus truly  I lived the most relaxing and comfortable life.  With the fall of all powerful enemies on all sides, the Qingying began to gradually promote Germany's transformation towards a more superior constitutional system in peace: the entire country no longer needed to be under the centralized rule of the military Junckers headed by the emperor.  Tighten the war nerves, strengthen propaganda for peaceful development, and separate major decision-making powers from the emperor.  Although this was contrary to the historical origins of the modern German states and was obviously very harmful to the imperial power, Qingying was still determined to promote this reform train in his imperial years and transform the country from the inside out.  A little bit of transformation.  This is not only to allow this country to obtain better development prospects in the future, but more importantly, to prevent it from embarking on the same old path as the old Japanese Empire, losing itself in the endless victory and intoxication of external expansion.  If the German war machine is allowed to continue running endlessly, it will not only cause huge harm to the world, but its transcendent national power today is also very likely to be dragged down by the massive war expenditures that are raging on all sides.  null.  The sudden collapse of the Soviets in later generations after their prosperity is a lesson that the current Qingying needs to try to avoid.  On June 7, 1944, Wilhelm II died in the Royal General Hospital in Berlin.  Flags across Germany flew at half-mast in mourning, and countless sirens and horns roared in unison for three minutes at the same time.  Qingying, who also had looming wrinkles, silently stared at the calm face that had lost its vitality, with soreness and stasis in his throat as if it were stuck by a boulder; 51 years of time passed by, and he had already treated each other in this half-century of getting along.  As his real biological father.  The voice and smile, care and expectation, cultivation and trust, thunder and rain Countless memories swept him up like a tide, leaving him in a whirlpool of sadness and pain that was difficult to extricate himself from.  According to William¡¯s last words, his funeral should be as simple as possible and only royal relatives should be present.  According to this request, Qingying watched his coffin being buried in the cross-covered lawn of the Old Palace in East Prussia amidst the prayers of the priest, and he was buried together with the previous kings of Prussia.  Qingying, who deeply felt that time was not forgiving, also began to pave the way to seclusion: Crown Prince Splinter began to enter the center and was specifically responsible for all affairs in one area. Some outstanding young people with great potential in the military and political fields  They were also recruited to his side as the core team of the future emperor.  Qingying plans to spend ten years training his still immature son to become a qualified emperor; by then, he will no longer be a porcelain vase with an empty appearance, but a truly tempered weapon.  Time flies by, and Qingying, who is more than seventy years old, finally shows the face that an old man should have.  In order to prevent his youngest son from repeating the tragedy of the 60-year-old prince in later generations, he also chose to abdicate and retire into seclusion, fully handing over all his imperial power to his heirs as he felt that he was still strong.  In fact, after ten years of reform preparation, the power of the emperor today has been significantly weakened compared to the prime of the Qing Dynasty; the people have gradually accepted the new system of party elections, and the emperor is no longer a dictatorial existence who can decide everything with one word.  Under Qingying's painstaking cultivation and years of warning, the new emperor Splinter also faithfully inherited Qingying's will and continued to promote this process through a series of gentle and silent orders.  Qingying, who was relieved of her heavy burden, traveled around with her wife to recuperate and appreciate this unique scenery that was completely different from the historical world.  ¡°Perhaps due to the special physique of the time traveler that rewrote the rules, Qingying¡¯s longevity was unusually abundant. However, one day, he also felt that his consciousness could no longer control his body.  The wife's cold hand that had lost its temperature was in her fingers, and her heart was filled with mixed flavors of sour happiness.  In a daze, he seemed to see an angel with holy white feathers leading him onto a dazzling road to the sky. The girl-like Sonia was waving in front of her, as if urging him to follow her footsteps.  A warm current flowing into Qingying's soul flowed through his heart. He smiled slightly and strode onto the heavenly road emerging in the void.  The holy light shone before my eyes, incandescently, and then I couldn¡¯t feel anything anymore.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thanks to book friends oang, igna, Xiaoxiang Yeyu Stranger for their monthly ticket support, and kleinen_a, zhouyu1976 for their rewards~~~
