Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe, who had already made a public appearance, found an excuse to return to Tokyo:

"Oh, I'm sorry, my wife has given birth, and I have to return to Tokyo immediately. The Governor-General of Australia and New Zealand, Lady Olympia, and Secretary General Gao will attend in my place."

The countries didn't seem to care much; it would be better if Li Xinghe didn't come.

On the plane, Li Xinghe personally deployed his men to investigate what the Americans were up to behind the scenes:

"Organize investigation teams to go to Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia. If they are indeed wavering on issues with the United States, then we'll cut them off, whether they stick their necks out or their legs out!"

The order was relayed to the Aoyama Command, who were busy with European affairs.

In the past six months, everyone has been busy dealing with things in Europe, and for a time they have neglected to collect intelligence on the areas they control in Southeast Asia.

As a top-tier intelligence analyst, Lin Mulan reminded Li Xinghe:

"What if it's just the US trying to win them over?"

In Lin Mulan's view, this is also the most likely outcome that is closest to the truth.

Vance has lacked significant diplomatic achievements; those who can manipulate diplomacy and conduct private negotiations are often small groups within the Republican Party. Their actions in Asia to antagonize Li Xinghe are highly likely a last-ditch effort by neoconservatives to contain him.

Li Xinghe said irritably:

"Then let them remember this, give them a profound lesson, so they can never even dream of it!"

Perhaps the warm and friendly exchanges between East Asian countries in the past have given smaller countries too much expectation, but Li Xinghe hopes they can recognize reality.

You'd better not expect anything now.

Li Xinghe wasn't lying; Valeria had indeed given birth.

After giving birth to her five-year-old daughter, Yai, for Li Xinghe, Valeria gave birth to her second child, a boy, this year. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

The plane landed at Yokota Airport, and Li Xinghe took a car to the Royal Hospital.

Valeria held the newborn boy and happily showed him to Li Xinghe:

"I want to name him 'Nikola'!"

Li Xinghe thought about it and felt it was alright.

Nicholas, originally Nicholas, is a name originating from Greece. It's a typical Greek compound word, a combination of 'people' and 'victory,' meaning "the victory of the people." From this perspective, the death of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia, indeed confirms the meaning of the name "the victory of the people."

Therefore, Valeria was eager to convey this sentiment to the Ukrainians. She believed that the child symbolized the victory of the Ukrainian people and was a name commemorating the return of the new CCP.

Valeria also had her representative in Ukraine, Anastasia, the Komsomol representative, spread the news of Valeria giving birth, telling Ukrainians why another country in the far east of the world would spend money and effort to revitalize Ukraine.

However, this kind of publicity was not very effective, since in the eyes of native Ukrainians, Valeria was probably just a representative of overseas diaspora.

Moreover, he was an old White Russian with a less-than-ideologically sound background.

Therefore, her wish was destined to be unfulfilled.

……

In today's world, because Europe and the United States control the discourse of international public opinion, the Turkish war has become a top global issue.

People see menacing Turkish fascists on the news every day.

'Turkish fascist Nazis captured Vidin and cut off Danube shipping,' 'Turkish Nazi army attacked Kraohua and committed genocide,' 'Turkey stood with Germany twice in history,' etc.

According to Western journalists, Türkiye is already on par with Nazi Germany during World War II.

Consequently, even the notorious traitor Winston Churchill appears much more positive, despite the numerous deaths he caused in the Garibaldi campaign, his betrayal of his country during World War II, and his role in orchestrating the Cold War confrontation after the war.

The world is not lacking in wars; it's just that nobody cares about Africa. Otherwise, the hellish scenes in many parts of Africa would have been sensationalized as top international news long ago.

The protracted civil wars in Sudan, Ethiopia, Chad, the Sahel War, and the Congo War have long since claimed tens of millions of Black lives and provided Europe with millions of illegal Black immigrants crossing the Mediterranean.

But Europe is not innocent. These wars were caused by Europeans' arbitrary drawing of borders, the remnants of colonialism, and the instigation of the murder of people of insight.

Turkey, meanwhile, held a 'merger ceremony' in Aleppo, Syria, in August.

Syria, as a special constituent republic, became part of Türkiye.

If the new Soviet Union's occupation of Moldova marked the beginning of a new process of piecing together the fragments of the Soviet Union, then the unification of Türkiye and Syria is also a process of piecing together the fragments of the Ottoman Empire.

When the news reached the Maria Palace in Kyiv, the new Soviet Union's central leadership began planning anew.

Looking at the chaotic scene on the map, Hu Zhantian suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Pointing to Israel, he said in a deep voice:

“I have a feeling that NATO and the EU will allow Israel to attack Damascus in exchange for Israel’s recognition of the annexation of Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Mount Hermon, and the Druze areas of Syria, or even control of Damascus, as compensation for Israel’s help in containing the Ottoman Empire.”

After careful consideration, the General Staff concluded that Hu Zhantian was right.

Israel has already encountered a difficult cycle of population loss, tax revenue decline, and fiscal deficit. If the regime wants to survive, it must continue to receive financial and human resources support from Europe.

Therefore, it seems quite reasonable for Israel to send its 100 Coca-Cola soldiers to the Syrian battlefield to face off against Türkiye's 10 Coca-Cola soldiers.

They're all cheap, low-quality soldiers; I doubt either country would pity them.

Whether it's 100 bottles of Coke or 10 bottles of Coke, this clash of titans still has a long way to go.

After intensive discussions at the Kyiv command, everyone agreed that if Türkiye annexed Syria, Israel would definitely join the war, becoming an electric anal plug in Turkey's ass.

Hu Zhantian called Li Xinghe:

“We have a feeling that as Vance has secured his position this year, there is a trend among America’s elite groups and political forces to rebuild a ‘second America’ around him. This is troublesome.”

Li Xinghe on the other end of the phone said coldly:

"Don't worry. I'll make sure his big ass blows to bits this year!"

Li Xinghe looked at a recording of the wiretapping in his hand.

Just now, Vance demanded that Queen Austin and the Billy Graham family, who have been on a six-month visit to the Asia-Pacific Consortium, return to Washington.

The little nun queen is leaving, how can this be allowed?

Chapter 1004: Li Xinghe's Confession and the Soviet Union's Boastful Remarks (4600 words)

"To be honest, how many times has Vance tried to fall out with Li Xinghe?"

At the White House in Washington, Vance's staff voiced their doubts.

"Is this the third time?"

Every time Vance tried to fall out with Li Xinghe, his situation would become extremely bad, and he would have to crawl back to beg Li Xinghe for help.

The price Vance paid was getting higher and higher. From recognizing the new US-Japan agreement to selling the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, it seems that Vance did not realize that every shell provided by Li Xinghe was a foundation stone for his throne, and he actually wanted to dismantle that foundation three times.

But in reality, this split has very real reasons.

Li Xinghe did not fail to help Vance consolidate imperial power.

But when the United States began to stabilize and the American elites finally stopped opposing Vance, they began to study anti-China and anti-Japanese sentiments.

Therefore, Vance's throne was inherently flawed.

He either accepts the collective support of the American elite and chooses to be anti-China and anti-Japan, or he continues to maintain relations with Japan, especially Li Xinghe, and breaks with the American elite.

For the United States, opposing China and Li Xinghe, and eliminating the second strongest power, has become ingrained in its very soul.

Given this situation, surrounded by various American political lobbyists and elites, Vance suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

“We are currently cooperating with Li Xinghe to dismantle the EU and extract profits from it. You could say we each get half. But if I were to ditch Li Xinghe, wouldn't I be able to take over Europe like a winner-takes-all market?”

In an instant, Vance, who was under the influence of drugs, suddenly felt that it made sense, very reasonable.

Türkiye is in chaos, and Europeans are paying trillions of euros in pledge of allegiance. If the winner-takes-all principle continues, wouldn't the whole of Europe be theirs?

Trillions?

Ten trillion!

Based on this idea, Vance felt happy.

He began sketching on a world map with a pencil, plotting his plan to conquer Europe.

"Greenland? I must have that."

"Iceland? Hmm... to be determined."

"Britain must give us at least five... ten nuclear submarine deployment bases."

"Denmark...the United States must control the Denmark Strait. Therefore, Denmark must cede Rice Island or Bornholm Island to the United States."

"Gibraltar! It must be handed over to the United States!"

"Malta must hand over its air force base!"

Basically, whatever Vance wants and deems suitable, he'll try to force Europe to cede. Like Trump demanding South Korea cede the Yongsan base. And now, the Yongsan base is Li Xinghe's personal property.

This decision was circulated by Vance in a rambling manner to Obama, who was responsible for managing national affairs and making a mess of national matters.

Although Obama didn't say it aloud, he used the Washington Post to name it:

"A new unipolar policy. The United States must maintain its global unipolar hegemony!"

This statement instantly gained the support of the elite and high-ranking officials across the United States.

In the minds of America's political elite, the balance of power in the world is not based on industrial production rankings.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott demonstrated unwavering loyalty to Vance, even going inside the Capitol to advocate for Vance's unilateral policies.

"Without a doubt, under God's blessing, the United States, which has recovered, is becoming incredibly real and powerful. China? It's nothing but a prison that grew by enslaving, forcing labor, and exploiting minorities. The Asia-Pacific region? It's nothing but a broken, incompetent island federation led by a mad and insane clown. No matter how powerful they boast, once they see the supreme greatness of America and shatter their self-delusions of being 'the strongest in industry,' 'the strongest in the seas,' and 'the strongest in population,' they will melt away like snowflakes in the sun under America's glory!"

This exemplary conduct earned unanimous praise from Republican lawmakers.

This statement is a classic summary of the self-image of the American political elite.

The United States just stumbled and fell. As long as the United States adjusts its situation slightly, countries like China, which are low-end, lack technology, and rely solely on the blood and flesh of forced laborers and ethnic minorities to grow stronger, will surely disintegrate into several small countries under the glory of the United States, and from then on, they will be extremely obsequious to the United States. This is the Soviet Union's collapse model in their minds.

And isn't an island federation like the Asia-Pacific Alliance led by Li Xinghe just another Japan? If the US were to knock down Japan's aircraft carrier with a single blow, they would be helpless on their small islands and ultimately submit to a five-star admiral sent by the US. This is the US's perception of Japan's disintegration.

These two formulas for victory against the Soviet Union and against Japan have been etched into the minds of the American political elite like a brand.

In the past, when the establishment was in power, a few high-ranking officials still had a certain assessment of China's strength. But since Trump took office, the American political elite has also begun a degree of populist transformation. They have become more fanatical and irrational.

Therefore, anyone who is relatively realistic, uses data and formulas to express China's strength, and has a clear mind, only deserves to be relegated to the garbage dump. American political elites only want to see reports and books like "Gordon Chang," "China Collapse Theory," and "End of History," believing that only such reports and books align with their own thoughts and beliefs.

The world should revolve around America.

Therefore, the American political elites, amidst the resurgence of the new Soviet Union in Ukraine, the Turkish war, the new Balkan war, and the crisis of Li Xinghe's sweep across Southeast Asia, have once again collectively and frantically moved towards a new Cold War.

……

After Vanse openly and secretly began to perform the story of "the third breakup" with Li Xinghe as expected, Li Xinghe, far away in Tokyo, was also very agitated.

He was getting a little tired of it.

It wasn't that Vance's betrayal surprised him, because Li Xinghe had stabbed Vance in the back many more times.

What Li Xinghe truly found tiresome was that Vance had become addicted to drugs and was gradually being controlled by the American elite in his decision-making. This man used to have his own methods, but today he had become a completely boring puppet.

With a lollipop in his mouth, Li Xinghe lay on a small chair in the woods of the Imperial Palace, complaining incessantly:

“I’m not surprised by Vance’s duplicity. America, ah, that’s America.”

Of course, for little Queen Austin, who was willing to 'atone' for Vance, life suddenly became wonderful. Her little face was adorable, her little bean was adorable, and her shy face was even more adorable.

"So what are you going to do?"

Little Austin looked down at Li Xinghe's trousers and asked the crucial question.

Based on the current situation, Austin really does have to go back to his home country.

But Li Xinghe thought, "Go back? What's the point of going back? Just stay in Tokyo. I'll build you the tallest and largest evangelical church in the world."

If we can't give the US face, we must detain the entire Billy Graham family.

Otherwise, the United States would think that Li Xinghe is weak.

Since its victory in the Cold War, the United States has regarded itself as the master of global hegemony.

Therefore, in a sense, the US, which doesn't attempt to dominate the world and suppress lesser powers, is mentally unstable. This is because the entire American elite shares a consensus on 'Cold War thinking.' Regardless of their political affiliation, their minds are linked together by this consensus. (The last two sentences appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated, so they are omitted from the translation.)

The reason we used to oppose Vance every day, trying to avoid causing trouble for China and the Asia-Pacific region, was because Vance was such a fool that the American elites couldn't accept him. They were too busy fighting amongst themselves.

Now that they've discovered Vance has managed to become somewhat anthropomorphic and has proposed and implemented his own plan to save the country, American political elites are no longer in a hurry to oppose Vance. Instead, they've begun to refocus their efforts on how to suppress China and Li Xinghe.

Holding little Austin, Li Xinghe showed no respect for Vance.

Just then, Lin Youzi walked over carrying a stack of military documents. She looked at Li Xinghe speechlessly and said:

"Can you please stop meddling in national policies?"
