On March 16, the twenty-ninth year of Qian Sheng, the frontline representatives of the Daheng Empire and the Kingdom of Krul signed a temporary armistice agreement. Starting from this day, the two sides entered the armistice stage in accordance with the agreement to maintain the current situation unchanged. End the battle for now.
On March 20, representatives of the two countries signed a formal armistice agreement, officially announcing the end of the war between the two countries. At the same time, they signed the Hengke Treaty of Friendship and Commerce and the Jingzhou Arms Limitation Treaty.
According to a series of armistice agreements, the Kingdom of Krull transferred most of its overseas colonies and islands to the Daheng Empire, but the Kingdom of Krull still retained some islands, and the East Pole Island and its islands were also included in the transfer.
The transfer of this part of the colonies and islands is a paid transfer. The Daheng Empire will pay a symbolic payment of 10 million yuan to buy out the sovereignty of the above-mentioned colonies and islands from the Kingdom of Krul and sign a separate purchase agreement.
The Krul Kingdom temporarily handed over the eight islands of Kingdom Island to the Daheng Empire for trusteeship. The Krul people moved all the people from the above-mentioned islands and allowed the Daheng Empire to station troops on them. The trusteeship period is ninety-nine years.
At the same time, according to this agreement, the Daheng Empire will actually give up most of the coastal islands of Kingdom Island that it has captured.
But this is not important. All the Daheng Empire wants is to build a blockade network. The eight islands surrounding Kingdom Island are enough.
In terms of reparations, there is no semblance of war reparations. The Kruls clamored that they were not defeated and would never pay reparations.
However, they also expressed their willingness to provide humanitarian compensation to the Daheng Empire's merchant ships and civilians who were accidentally injured by them in the war, amounting to 1.3 billion Heng Yuan.
This number is actually not much. It is not much compared to the tens of billions of war expenses between the two countries. However, once the war is over, it will still be a relatively heavy financial pressure for the Kingdom of Krul.
The restrictions on armaments are mainly focused on the navy. The two sides signed a naval restriction treaty. The specific terms are very simple. The first clause is that no new warships shall be built within five years. All warships already under construction must also be stopped and demolished. After five years, Later, new warships can be built, but the total tonnage of the fleet must not exceed one million tons.
In addition, there are some restrictions on the tonnage and main guns of battleships, restrictions on aircraft carriers, etc. The Krul Kingdom does not agree at all, even if the Daheng Empire follows them, because there are not only Daheng Empire and Daheng Empire in this world. The Krul Kingdom, as well as the Kokel Empire, Valia Empire, Garfia Empire, Oran Kingdom and other countries, if we want to make a naval restriction treaty, we need to get them all involved!
Therefore, it is acceptable not to build new warships for five years after the war. Anyway, we have to tighten our belts and live a hard life for the five years after the war, and there is no money to build new warships...
The total tonnage of one million tons is almost enough. At worst, it will be built secretly in the future.
As for the restrictions on the tonnage and performance of battleships, this is actually possible, but it cannot be restricted by me alone. We must all restrict it together...
In this regard, the Daheng Empire is planning to wait for the end of the war in the Western Continent to involve several other countries and formulate a Blue Star version of the naval restriction treaty. It cannot continue to play an endless naval race.
You know, the total tonnage of the ships of the Daheng Empire Navy has exceeded 10 million tons...
Lin Ziran himself was speechless about the tonnage of this navy. In the past few years, he wished to build more battleships. Now he wishes to decommission them earlier and seal up these warships. Damn it, the current navy is a veritable gold-swallowing beast, devouring a large number of ships every day.
of military spending.
As of the signing of the armistice agreement with the Kingdom of Krul, the Daheng Empire Navy has a total of thirty-seven battleships, nine battlecruisers, twenty-eight large aircraft carriers, more than sixty light aircraft carriers, and twenty-five heavy cruisers.
, fifty-nine light cruisers, more than five hundred destroyer leaders of various types (small light cruisers under 5,000 tons), destroyers, and hundreds of frigates.
Then there are a variety of transport ships, minelayers, minesweepers, supply ships, troop transports, hospital ships, maintenance ships, landing ships, etc., which add up to thousands.
Well, the above-mentioned warships and auxiliary ships do not include the early warships before the era of unified fire control. Because the navy is short of manpower and there is no need for them, these old warships have been decommissioned and stored in storage a few years ago.
The total tonnage of all kinds of messy naval ships exceeds 10 million tons.
Now the Daheng Empire’s navy has made the Kingdom of Krul despair!
The Daheng Empire's continuous strategic bombing caused the Krul Kingdom to collapse directly!
Otherwise, they would not have entered into armistice negotiations with the Daheng Empire and accepted a series of treaties that were humiliating and humiliating the country.
If there is no ceasefire, their domestic political, economic and people's livelihood systems will completely collapse, and it is possible that they will split into several countries.
However, such a huge fleet of the Daheng Empire cannot be maintained for a long time, otherwise the Daheng Empire will really go bankrupt!
Therefore, even if the Krul Kingdom had not surrendered and signed an armistice agreement with the Daheng Empire, the Daheng Empire had already begun to reduce orders for a large number of warships.
However, it is not orders for battleships that have been cut. Currently, the Daheng Empire is building only four battleships of the Monduke-class battleships. These are big guys with a standard displacement of 45,000 tons. Even if the war is over,
We will continue to complete the construction of several ships under construction to replace a large number of old battleships.
A large number of orders for cruisers, destroyers and other types of auxiliary warships have been cancelled.
Since last year, the Daheng Empire has almost cut off most of its orders for cruisers and destroyers, leaving only a handful of potential orders still under construction.
As for other auxiliary warships, even more were cut.
At the same time, the design plans of some new warships have also been temporarily frozen, and preparations are being made to continue polishing technology to design and build more advanced warships.
Cutting off orders for warships planned to be built is nothing.
The real big problem is the need to decommission a large number of active warships.
According to the Daheng Empire Navy's plan, once the war is over, a large number of warships will be decommissioned in order to control the size of the navy and reduce military expenditures.
For example, those light aircraft carriers are typical wartime emergency products. The Daheng Empire Navy specially built them for escort. Their speed is only about 20 knots and their tonnage is only seven or eight thousand tons. They carry twenty or thirty aircraft for escort operations.
.
The construction is simple and the cost is cheap. For the Daheng Empire, it is easier to build this kind of thing than to build a slightly larger destroyer of two to three thousand tons. Each one is built one by one.
Unfortunately, like many emergency warships, these escort aircraft carriers will basically have no use after the war, and will all be decommissioned by then.
The Daheng Empire is preparing to decommission a large number of warships. It cannot just decommission it on its own, but must also enlist other countries to decommission it together.
As for those who dare not accept it, just beat them until they do!
With the war between the Daheng Empire and the Kingdom of Krul officially ending, the war on the Western Continent has also come to an end. It has been fought for so many years, and in fact, all the participating countries are exhausted.
But now the Daheng Empire has come forward to mediate, and it has also put out a large fleet and hundreds of thousands of armies that can log in to fight at any time to mediate.
No country dares to say no!
As a result, under the mediation of the Daheng Empire, the participating countries in the Western Continent also ceased war one after another and restored peace.
Immediately afterwards, the Daheng Empire forced other countries to sign a global naval restriction treaty!
A total of six major countries, including the Daheng Empire, the Kingdom of Krul, the Kokel Empire, the Valia Empire, the Galfia Empire, and the Oran Kingdom, have signed a naval restriction agreement.
The naval tonnage limit of each country is 2 million tons for the Daheng Empire, 800,000 tons for the Krul Kingdom, 400,000 tons for the Kokel Empire, 300,000 tons for the Varia Empire, 250,000 tons for the Garfia Empire, and 250,000 tons for the Oran Empire.
Kingdom 250,000 tons.
This ratio is very interesting, that is, the naval tonnage of the Daheng Empire is equal to the sum of the navies of the other five countries!
There is no way, the current Daheng Empire Navy is so awesome, it has tens of millions of tons of naval tonnage, and the navies of other countries combined do not have so many!
In principle, the total naval tonnage of other non-signing countries shall not exceed 200,000 tons, otherwise they will be subject to joint military sanctions by the six major powers.
In other words, destroy you!
Other countries don't have any objections. Anyway, their navy's total tonnage is not large, and they can't use up all the tonnage given to them.
But the Kingdom of Krul has objections, but unfortunately, now that the war is over, there is nothing that the Kingdom of Krul can do about it.
They disagreed, and the Daheng Empire immediately issued a threat of war...
In the end, they could only sign this naval limitation treaty in humiliation.
In addition to limiting the total tonnage of the navy, there are not many other restrictions, such as the maximum displacement of battleships. The Daheng Empire's own battleships are the largest, and they cannot be reduced by themselves. Besides, the Daheng Empire does not have canals to limit the tonnage of battleships.
We must force other countries to also limit the maximum displacement of warships.
Regarding the issue of battleship displacement, the Daheng Empire said that you can build as many battleships as you like. Anyway, I have a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, and the full load of the Monduke-class battleship is expected to exceed 550 million tons.
Well, you can figure it out on your own...
Anyway, as long as the total tonnage of the battleship does not exceed the limit, it will be fine.
And Lin Ziran also knows that the world will be dominated by aircraft carriers in the future. Things like battleships, which look awesome now, will only play the role of bodyguards for large aircraft carriers in the future. Therefore, if countries want to build super battleships now, in the future
It's useless, so let them build it.
The only thing with the greatest restrictions is the aircraft carrier. The Daheng Empire forced all countries to sign a clause limiting the total tonnage of aircraft carriers. The total tonnage of the Krul Kingdom Navy's aircraft carriers is only 40,000 tons, which is only enough for two 20,000-ton aircraft carriers. For this reason,
The Daheng Empire also allowed them to increase the tonnage of their battleships.
Other countries have even less, basically 20,000 tons.
This limits the tonnage. Most countries can only build one aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20,000 tons. The Kingdom of Krul must either build two aircraft carriers with a displacement of 20,000 tons, or build one with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and one with a displacement of less than 20,000 tons.
tons, or simply build a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier.
In short, it is only a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier.
What Lin Ziran means is that the Daheng Empire can just play with things like aircraft carriers, while other countries can just get one or two of them if they want. If anyone dares to get a bunch of aircraft carriers, Lin Ziran thinks they will challenge Daheng
The sea power will be taken over directly when the time comes...
Finally, it is worth noting that the Naval Limitation Treaty also restricts countries from developing and building submarines. The Daheng Empire firmly believes that submarines, weapons specifically used to attack merchant ships, are inhumane and immoral and must be restricted or even banned.
What's the real reason? Submarines are weapons used by weak countries to break diplomatic relations. But who is the coachman of the sea now? It is necessary to carry out submarine operations and face huge submarine threats? The Daheng Empire.
If other countries acquire a bunch of submarines, doesn't this clearly indicate their intention to use submarines to attack their Daheng Empire's merchant fleet during the war?
This kind of weapon, which is only aimed at the Daheng Empire itself, must be vigorously restricted and banned.
Although many countries were not satisfied with the signing of a naval treaty, after the actual signing, countries around the world still breathed a sigh of relief after the war. They could justifiably retire old warships and stop building new warships. No need
It continues to consume huge naval expenditures.
This is even more important to the Daheng Empire, which has long wanted to decommission this large number of old warships.
Nowadays, as soon as the treaty is signed, some older warships are directly decommissioned and sealed. Some auxiliary warships are also decommissioned and sealed or simply sold to the private sector. Some of the older ones are sold and dismantled.
However, only some old battleships such as battleships, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers and other battleships have been decommissioned, while the cutting-edge and elite battleships are still preserved.
While promoting armistices among various countries and signing naval restriction agreements, the Daheng Empire naturally lost its own interests and signed various friendly and trade treaties with a number of countries, opening up the markets of various countries.
A large number of merchant ships began to travel between the Daheng Empire and other countries, transporting a large amount of industrial commodities and even some food for production recovery and daily life to various countries.
At the same time, a large amount of precious technical data, equipment, some mineral industrial raw materials that the Daheng Empire lacked, and specialty agricultural products from various countries were also shipped back to the Daheng Empire in large quantities.
The capital of the Daheng Empire was also in this process, and it invaded various countries, even the Kingdom of Krul!
Through capital, commodity dumping, raw material plundering and other means, the Daheng Empire was already full of food just a few months after the end of this world war!
This world war lasted for ten years and affected 90% of the population and regions on Blue Star. Every medium-sized and above country also participated in the war.
During this period, two large countries were directly killed and split into several small and medium-sized countries. At the same time, several other countries were directly destroyed.
The total number of soldiers from various countries who died during the war reached tens of millions. Well, not all at once, but cumulatively over the past ten years.

During the war, it is estimated that hundreds of millions of civilians were killed or injured as a result of the war, but no one can count the exact number.
But although this war is over, the Daheng Empire has successfully realized its ambition and became the world's leader.
However, the conflicts between countries around the world still exist. The Kingdom of Krull is still resentful about the Daheng Empire taking away their world hegemony. Many Krull people dream of revenge!
Countries on the Western Continent have been fighting for nearly ten years, resulting in countless casualties and losses of countless materials, but in the end it was nothing.
The countless hatreds are actually still there, but they are just covered up under the powerful army, navy and air force of the Daheng Empire!
The Daheng Empire can cover it up for a while, but it cannot cover it up forever.
Even within the Daheng Empire, many people were not very satisfied with the final result of the war. Although they gained world hegemony, they still failed to completely defeat the Kingdom of Krul and even split them.
For a long time in the future, the Kingdom of Krul will still be the biggest competitor of the Daheng Empire. After all, the Kingdom of Krul still retains strong technological research and development capabilities and industrial scale.
The strength of the Kele Empire on the Western Continent is very worrying.
The Garfia Empire still firmly controls most of the southwestern continent.
This world war, in the eyes of many Daheng people, is incomplete!
Therefore, although the world war is over, the Daheng Empire, especially the top military officials, have already begun to prepare for the next war.
Next time, they will completely dismember the Kingdom of Krul, return the Western Continent to a situation where there are many small and medium-sized countries, and completely crush the regional hegemony of the Garfia Empire in the southwest continent.
Next time, they will completely trample the entire Blue Star under their feet!
