Chapter 171, Summary Report on World Wars

[-]. East Asia

In the ten-year war that just ended, East Asia, with its large population and vast land, is obviously another main battlefield no less than Europe.However, when counting war losses in East Asia, the committee encountered many troubles and controversies, the biggest trouble being the Chinese battlefield.

First of all, there are many debates on how to define the time point when China began to enter a state of war.Because since the last feudal dynasty that ruled China fell in [-], China has fallen into continuous civil wars and famines. These civil wars have not subsided until the outbreak of the Third World War.The Chinese comrades think it should be counted from the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War, but in the opinion of the committee, this is as absurd as counting the casualties of the First World War into the following two World Wars - when the Chinese Civil War started , World War I has not yet broken out!

In the end, under the mutual compromise of the two sides, the time point of China's entry into the world war was determined as September [-], [-], the date when the Japanese army launched an attack on Manchuria.As a result, among all countries in the world, China and Japan were the first to participate in the war.

Secondly, regarding China's population loss during the 18-year war, it is also an unconvincing and unbelievably confused account.According to the Chinese comrades, before the war with Japan, China had a total population of about 8000 million, and then because of the war that lasted for so many years and the catastrophe during the period of abnormally low temperature in the world, 9000 million to 3 million people died.The Commission initially accepted the above argument.But the problem is that according to the first census completed by the new Chinese government in December 3000, China's current population is not more than 3000 million as expected by the committee, but a jaw-dropping [-] million ——In other words, if the previous data is correct, it means that China has fought two world wars with bloody rivers and corpses everywhere, and experienced two "years without summer" global abnormally low temperature climate After the famine, the total population not only did not decrease, but increased by a full [-] million, which is equivalent to the total population of three pre-war Frances!

Regarding this absurd result, the statistical experts in the committee all expressed that they could not accept it at all. They claimed that human beings are not mice and rabbits with super reproductive ability, and it is absolutely impossible to have such an exaggerated birth rate. No exception - so, there must be a big problem with these numbers.However, despite the above-mentioned controversies, until further investigation results are obtained, the committee can only temporarily adopt the existing preliminary conclusions, that is, China lost 8000 million to 9000 million yuan in the war and famine that swept the world. million population.

Then, in the early days of World War Three, the two most prosperous port cities in China, Shanghai and Hong Kong, were successively destroyed by US nuclear strikes, and then, the battle between Chinese comrades and their reactionary government and frontier separatist rebels, It continued on and off until [-].

However, although China has been in war for quite a long time, in general, the intensity of the war is much lower than that of the European battlefield.During World War II, China only had a large-scale war with Japan, and the confrontation time was far more than the fierce battle.As for the intensity of the Chinese civil war, it is not worth mentioning in Europe. It is said that hundreds of thousands of troops often fight, and the casualties are only a few hundred, and the winner is already determined.Next, except for the two nuclear strikes suffered in the early days of World War III, and the small-scale intervention and invasion operations of tens of thousands of American and British motley troops for a few months, the Chinese Red Army did not really participate in World War III. During the same period, the battles against various rebel forces in the northwest and southwest of the country were only as strong as the suppression of bandits, or the suppression of colonial rebellions by European troops in the past.The combination of all these factors made China finally preserve such a large population.

Therefore, starting from 12, the new Chinese government, which has gained a firm foothold, has started a large-scale post-war reconstruction work. At present, all the railways owned before the war have been basically restored, and the nuclear power plants in Shanghai and Hong Kong have been repaired. The blast ruins have been cleaned up.Even though it encountered a large-scale famine caused by abnormally low temperature in the world, it did not cause serious riots in China.Although the current China is still only a backward agricultural country, as long as you see that among the [-] billion people in the post-war world, the Chinese accounted for nearly half of them.The population that uses Chinese in the world exceeds that of any other language in the world, and we can understand the pivotal position that this country will have in the future world.

As the origin of the second and third world wars in the east, Japan won extremely brilliant results in the war. Although it lost Korea and Taiwan, which it had already owned before the war, and failed to occupy Manchuria in China, it has always been Swallowed the entire Oceania in one breath, and expanded the territory to a level that can be compared with China!But as a price, Japan's Yamato nation also paid a tragic and terrifying price during the war.

When the war ended, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, had been razed to the ground by the atomic bomb, and a series of big cities such as Nagoya, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Sendai, Sapporo, Nagasaki, etc. were either destroyed by nuclear explosions or destroyed. The strategic bombing by the U.S. military burned everything, and the new government had no room to use, so it was forced to set up tents in the wilderness to work.Japan's domestic railways, highways, factories, and mines were completely destroyed during the war, and less than one-fifth of them have been repaired so far. The industrial foundation accumulated in the past century has been destroyed.Also, the Kanto Plain, the most fertile agricultural area in Japan, was severely polluted by nuclear pollution during the war, and will be forced to abandon farming for a long time to come.Japan had a population of 200 million before the war, but only 600 million remained after the war.Due to the collapse of the local economy and the inability to support too many people, about half of the remaining 600 million Japanese, that is, 800 million people, were relocated to many islands in the South Pacific, and there were also newly occupied Japanese living in Australia and New Zealand.To make matters worse, among the 600 million surviving Japanese, there is still a serious sex ratio imbalance. The ratio of healthy men and women of childbearing age is almost one to four!In other words, a man needs to marry four women to ensure that there are not too many leftover women.

Japan's new government had to amend the Marriage Law for this reason, announcing the restoration of polygamy within 20 years.In addition, in order to increase the population as soon as possible, the Japanese government even lowered the legal marriage age of Japanese women to the unbelievable nine years old, which caused great controversy.

Therefore, although it was the winner of the World War, Japan was already dying after the war.In addition, due to the incomplete revolution of the new Japanese regime, too many remnants of the old era have been retained, and the future internal struggles and divisions are likely to be very serious.Therefore, whether Japan can continue to maintain its strength after the war and become one of the main leaders in the new world, the committee believes that it remains to be observed and studied.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the Korean Peninsula, under the rule of the Imperial Japanese Government, had a population of approximately 400 million.

After the outbreak of World War II, North Korea was thrown into the war as part of the Japanese Empire at the time, and 300 million Koreans were killed, injured and relocated overseas during the war.After the collapse of the old Japanese imperial regime, the Korean peninsula won freedom and independence, but soon a bloody civil war broke out between the revolutionary forces and the reactionary forces.At least 100 million North Koreans died during the Korean Civil War and the ensuing Great Purges.

Then, like all other countries in the world, the newly-born Korean Republic encountered an abnormally low temperature in the world caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption, and domestic food production, especially rice production, dropped sharply. sex******.

In addition, the Republic of Korea has also suffered four nuclear explosions by the US strategic air force. The capital of North Korea, Seoul, the accompanying capital, Pyongyang, the largest port in North Korea, Busan, and the northern port of North Korea, Chongjin, a total of four important cities. They were completely destroyed in the mushroom cloud, and the number of direct deaths in the nuclear explosion alone exceeded 200 million.At the same time, the bacterial bombs dropped by the US military on the Korean Peninsula led to the outbreak and spread of a nationwide plague on the Korean Peninsula.Under the repeated blows of so many disasters, the current population of North Korea is only about 500 million.

The interim capital of the Republic of Korea has to be temporarily moved to Gwangju in the southwest because of the nuclear explosions in Pyongyang and Seoul.Most of the industrial and mining enterprises and railway traffic in North Korea have also been paralyzed. Due to the weak foundation, North Korea has not yet fully resumed railway operation.

However, the level of loss of the Korean Republic is not very serious, which is the average level in Europe.

In general, East Asia lost about 2000 million to 3000 million people (including emigrated population) during World War II and World War III, but the number of East Asian yellow people who survived Still about half of the post-war global population.

Considering the outstanding performance of the Japanese navy and army in the world war, if there are no huge changes in the future, it is expected that the international status of the yellow race in the future world will inevitably increase to a considerable extent.

[-]. South and Southeast Asia

In the world war that has just ended, South and Southeast Asia are also important battlegrounds in terms of global population loss.Especially when the President of the United States signed his surrender under the Golden Gate Bridge, the civil war in Hindustan in South Asia was still raging.

In fact, when the Second World War just broke out, some Indian colonial troops, under the flag of the British Empire, came to the front lines of North Africa and Europe to participate in the war.When the Japanese army swept across Malaya and captured Singapore, tens of thousands of Indian soldiers were killed or captured.

However, the real large-scale bloodshed in South Asia began when the Japanese army landed on Ceylon Island in [-] and supported Chandra Bose, the former chairman of the Indian National Congress Party, to launch the Indian national uprising.In the next three years, the National Congress Party, the Muslim League, the Sovereign Lords, the British colonial army, the invading Japanese army, and even some of the expeditionary forces of the old Chinese reactionary government stranded in India smashed the entire South Asian subcontinent into one piece. A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In this vigorous Hindustan melee, the camp divisions of the various forces are very chaotic. It can no longer be divided by simple invasion and resistance, or colonial suppression and liberation uprising, nor can it be completely divided by faith, nationality and behind-the-scenes supporters to divide.

In fact, for any leader on this battlefield, the battle situation in front of them and the situation behind them are dizzying: the roles of allies and enemies are changing at any time, and mutiny and usurpation within various forces are also emerging one after another .Sometimes, the victory of a battle is often not good news for the leader, because it will lead to the betrayal and defection of some allies.

Although the war that took place in the South Asian subcontinent was initially considered by many to be a dog-eat-dog fight between the Japanese and British armies revolving around colonies.But in fact, most of the time, it is still the Indians themselves who stand on this stage of war.Especially in recent years when the Japanese army has already withdrawn and Britain has also collapsed, this war has turned into a complete civil war among the Hindustan ethnic groups.All the conflicts accumulated over the centuries in Hindustan, religious contradictions, class contradictions, colonization and colonization, aggression and anti-aggression contradictions broke out all at once in this war. So much so that it is almost impossible to analyze, even from the standpoint of a bystander.

However, despite the chaos of the Indian Civil War, one thing is clear.That is, the tragic civil war severely damaged India's agricultural production, created tens of millions of war refugees, and countless massacres and famines.Especially when the world's abnormally low temperature weather came and India's food production fell sharply again, the Indian civil war further intensified, causing the whole of India to fall into the hell of hunger and death.

When the Third World War came to an end, the South Asian subcontinent also had a glimmer of hope to end the war and restore peace: in the spring of [-], the Muslim League army from Punjab and the Indian army led by Chandra Bose The national army jointly invaded the Ganges River Basin from the west of India, and achieved a series of brilliant victories in this traditionally elite hinterland of India. They also entered Calcutta in April and completed the great march "from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal". Controlling more than half of India's land and population, it gained a decisive advantage in the civil war.

But the problem is that, following the death of Jinnah, the leader of the Indian Muslim League in September [-], and Chandra Bose, the radical leader of the Indian National Congress Party, died in November [-]. Yue's assassination and death dimmed this ray of dawn again - the successors of the two forces immediately had fierce conflicts. The successors of the Muslim League declared that they would separate from India and establish a "Pakistan state" in Punjab and Bangladesh. This expressed fierce opposition, and even a bloody conflict broke out with the army of the Muslim League. The previous cooperation between the two parties has become difficult to maintain.

Nehru, who had already been beaten to the brink of extinction, and the Indian maharajah who was allied with him, gained a precious respite.Nehru's army even took the opportunity to launch a large-scale counter-offensive in Bihar in the Ganges River Valley and won.Coupled with another rebellion by the Sikh army in the Punjab region, the situation of the Indian civil war has once again become chaotic and unclear, and it seems that the war is protracted and tends to split.

All in all, during the unprecedented wars, famines and plagues in the past few years, the entire South Asian subcontinent has lost about 6000 million people, and the remaining 2 million people are still fighting fiercely and chaotically. No one can know when is the end.

At the same time, during the years of the World War, the countries of Southeast Asia also lived through the vicissitudes, chaos and turmoil, and the raging flames of war.

However, during World War II before the collapse of Japan's old empire, the situation in Southeast Asia was somewhat stable.Because the Japanese army in the early Pacific took only a very short time to successfully capture the entire Southeast Asia from the British, Dutch and American colonists, and the war damage during the period was relatively slight.

During the subsequent Japanese occupation period, although national uprisings and guerrilla wars broke out to a certain extent in the Philippines, Malaya, and Indonesia, and led to encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army.There are also some local aborigines who were forcibly recruited by the Japanese occupation army as coolies, and died of overwork in mine sites and military fortresses.But generally speaking, the scale of the population deaths caused by all these is not particularly large.According to statistics provided by the Japanese wartime base camp, during the four years before and after the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia, a total of only 150 million to 200 million population losses were caused.

After the old Japanese Empire collapsed and the Japanese army withdrew from Southeast Asia, the Pandora's box called Total War was officially opened on this land.All kinds of revolutionaries, warlords, princes and sultans, religious groups, tribal chiefs, and European and American colonists who returned to the East all appeared in a very short period of time, vying to fill the power vacuum formed after the Japanese army withdrew. .The atomic bombs dropped by the U.S. strategic air force on Hanoi and Jakarta, especially the latter, further exacerbated the chaos in Southeast Asia—before the Jakarta nuclear explosion, all parties in Indonesia had basically recognized the central government led by Sukarno , but as the entire Sukarno government turned into radioactive dust in the mushroom cloud of Jakarta, more than [-] revolutionary governments, nine sultanates and unknown How many emirates.

So far, within the scope of Southeast Asia, only Vietnam and the Philippines have initially stabilized the domestic situation and established socialist regimes, but they still face extremely difficult tasks of countering rebellion and suppressing bandits.After Thailand expelled the king and completely withdrew from the world war, it once established a military government, but it collapsed in [-] due to the peasant uprising and internal strife in the army. It is currently in the midst of warlord melee.As for Malaya and Indonesia, after these years of melee, the general trend is to disintegrate, and it is likely that they will eventually split into thirty to forty small countries.

As for the number of people lost in the wars and famines throughout Southeast Asia in these years, and how many people are left, there is currently no more accurate data.The committee can only roughly estimate that about 2000 million residents of Southeast Asian countries died during this period.

[-]. Oceania
In the past eight years, there has been another bloody race change in Oceania.

More than 100 years ago, the British Anglo-Saxons landed in Australia, exterminated the local aborigines of color, established the colonies of Australia and New Zealand, and washed this land tens of thousands of kilometers away from Europe into white with blood and gunpowder smoke.A hundred years later, a more brutal Japanese army landed in Australia from the north and carried out a more brutal and bloody massacre, once again dyeing the land yellow with blood.

According to the occupation policy of the Japanese Australian occupation army "leaving no land but leaving no one", after the fall of Australia, all of the 700 million white Australians were massacred by the Japanese army except for some young women.Then, as New Zealand changed hands, it seemed that 200 million white New Zealanders were about to suffer the same fate.However, compared to their neighbors in Australia, white New Zealanders were a little luckier. Because of the intervention of the Communist International, about 100 million white New Zealanders survived in the end. They were not directly slaughtered by the Japanese army, but were put on ships and deported to Japan. The Commonwealth of South Africa that is happy to receive them.

However, although the white residents of Australia and New Zealand were basically wiped out or deported to South Africa.But in terms of numbers, it is only 700 million to 800 million deaths.Compared with the devastating catastrophe that the whole world has just experienced, it is really not worth mentioning.

In addition, in the Pacific War in the past few years, 80 to 100 million indigenous people in Oceania were killed.The largest of these was the blanket nuclear strike by the Soviet strategic air force on the Hawaiian Islands. After that, the entire Hawaiian Islands basically became a no-man's land.

Therefore, during the war, the entire Oceania lost a total of 800 to 900 million people, and more accurate figures need to be further verified.

However, at the same time, there were 800 million Japanese, and millions of Chinese and Koreans, a total of more than 2000 million East Asian immigrants of yellow race, who quickly poured into Australia, New Zealand and South Korea under Japanese occupation in the past few years. The Pacific islands were settled, and large-scale development and construction were carried out.

Therefore, after the war, the population of Oceania not only did not decrease, but doubled dramatically.And Oceania's agricultural and animal husbandry production, factories, mines, railways, highways, and port traffic have all been restored under the occupation of the Japanese army. Large areas of wilderness have been reclaimed into pastures and farms. Many cities in Australia and New Zealand even Become more prosperous than before, just a resident of the city, but no longer the original face.
