Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Li Xinghe pinched Austin's cheek and asked Lin Youzi:

"How's the nuclear warhead research going?"

Ah, speaking of this, Lin Youzi started complaining that Japanese researchers like to dodge the question.

That means the research and development wasn't very good.

Li Xinghe was already used to it; this was their level of incompetence. Even with nuclear warheads right in front of them, it was hard to say whether they could even figure out the principles of nuclear weapons this year.

However, Lin Youzi mentioned the latest discovery:

“We’ve found that the U.S. appears to be in a state of chronic nuclear fuel shortage. Their uranium and plutonium production is in a very poor and slow recovery phase. Of course, you know they’ve been planning this since 2025, but it’s still just a plan. U.S. Uranium Enrichment Corporation has long since shut down its uranium business and is now focused on selling oil.”

It's quite ironic that, due to the war dividends brought by the post-Cold War victory, America's own nuclear fuel production companies went bankrupt one after another. Later, 70% of uranium needed to be imported from overseas, with 28% coming from Russia (which was banned by US sanctions) and 40% from Canada. Now that Canada is under US control, its uranium industry has been directly impacted and effectively shut down. Even with nuclear fuel companies in France, the Netherlands, and Belgium operating at full capacity, they still couldn't meet the demand.

The demand for plutonium is even more strained. The United States stopped producing plutonium cores in 1989 and only began planning to resume production in 2024, with a phased resumption of production at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the Savannah River production site in South Carolina. But plans are just plans, and in reality, production has been slow to materialize.

Thus, by this time, the US nuclear arsenal was in the comical situation of production failing to keep up with decommissioning.

According to data currently available to the coalition forces, the U.S. military currently possesses approximately 1,300 nuclear warheads, of which 900 are on rotation on nuclear submarines, 300 are on land-based ballistic missiles, and more than 100 are reserved for strategic bombers.

Therefore, Li Xinghe is dedicated to causing trouble for the United States:

"The mandate was handed over to Sachs in Baja California, instructing him to continue purchasing raw materials for nuclear warheads from the U.S. military. The main objective was not to own them, but to prevent the U.S. from possessing them."

The core purpose is to create obstacles for the United States.

As long as the existing old nuclear materials are resold by the US military, it's fine.

When Li Xinghe and Vance break off relations, and when the United States wants to play the nuclear deterrence game, it will find that the warheads in the warehouse are gone.

At that time, Li Xinghe was very interested to see what the American soldiers' expressions would be like.

Of course, while stirring up trouble, Li Xinghe didn't forget to give the Balkans a jab:

"The situation of the U.S. nuclear arsenal was conveyed to European Command and Erdogan, and Erdogan was encouraged to continue."

"You... um..."

Lin Youzi sighed at Li Xinghe's unparalleled skill in stirring up trouble, and left speechlessly.

The young empress had her nun's long dress gently removed by Li Xinghe.

"Alas, there are so many sins to recount today."

It is well known that humans often confuse the word 'mouth' with female genitalia, using it as a form of profanity.

For Li Xinghe, this sin was skillfully interpreted as 'atonement to God'.

And so, the young Queen Austin lay prostrate on a chair on the forest path of the Royal Palace, allowing Li Xinghe to deeply 'explain his sins' to her private parts.

"Holy Mother, forgive him."

Little Austin prayed with his hands clasped together, his hands trembling.

……

Kyiv.

It's another new day for Cospaly, the European Command of the Soviet Union.

Just as summer was drawing to a close in August, and Ukraine was preparing for a bountiful autumn harvest, Kyiv convened a major meeting to determine the government's stance.

The First National Congress of the New USSR and the Conference on the Drafting of the Provisional Party Charter and Constitution were held at the Maria Palace.

Frankly speaking, this kind of meeting seems a bit outrageous.

Even after Ukraine annexed Moldova, its total population did not exceed 2000 million. The main core workforce consisted of various ethnic Chinese immigrants from China and Southeast Asia, totaling less than 400 million. In the past year alone, the number of people fleeing Ukraine and Moldova exceeded the number of immigrants by more than 100 million.

It is clear that only a minority of people are willing to follow the Communist Party.

But this small group of people, speaking in a ridiculous mix of Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian, were loudly discussing the end of European history in the conference hall:

"Comrades, considering the current international situation, we can clearly see that the old, outdated European bourgeois states are about to reach the end of their hegemonic life."

At the meeting, the participants elected and determined the new national leadership team.

President Zelensky, National Communist Party Representative Anastasia, and Party Chairman and Central Military Commission Chairman Hu Zhantian were all present. Father Ivan became Patriarch, and Manager Alex was crowned Minister of National Planning Economy.

Hu Zhantian and Alex, these two outrageous individuals, stood together and delivered their economic remarks to the national delegates:

"The Red Army once possessed the power to destroy the world, yet it could not protect its eternal homeland. We must be deeply aware of the drawbacks of the total mobilization economic system, and also pay attention to the effective combination of socialist economy and market. Lenin's New Economic Policy and the Soviet electrification policy laid the foundation for the rise of a great nation."

"Therefore, we decided to adopt the new economic policy, which focuses on socialist economic construction while embracing multiple economic modes of existence, and to continue to strengthen our Soviet."

Everyone clapped and cheered, praising him enthusiastically.

After all, the psychological shadow cast by the collapse of the Soviet Union was still too great, and the consensus that a comprehensive planned economy should not be adopted was already a post-traumatic stress disorder.

In a sense, this new Soviet Union Congress reverted to the state of Lenin's reform era in terms of constitution, policies, and national consciousness. A group of veteran communists, drawing lessons from the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's tragic experience of being exploited by Europeans in the first decade of the 21st century (from energy to wealthy capital), the lessons of the disintegration of Eastern European countries, and China's economic transformation after its reform and opening up, began to experiment with a "new economic policy," simply copying and modifying Lenin's old version.

Having learned from the mistakes of Stalinism and the disastrous diplomacy and wars before and after World War II, the new Soviet Union chose to both return to the original version and learn the latest version, thus completing what was rightfully its own.

At this victorious conference that established the new Soviet Union's ethnic, political, and economic policies, Hu Zhantian also boasted about his own ambitions:

"September is harvest season, and soybeans, wheat, and corn will be plentiful."

"October is also the harvest season. Our enemies will be covered in corpses, and red flags will surely be planted all over the sea and mountains! No one can stop us, not even the United States dropping nuclear bombs!"

He went on a rampage, that's all.

Chapter 1005: The Stray Dog Amuses Everyone, What Should Junbao Be Called? (4200 words)

Türkiye.

This country is undergoing a cataclysmic change.

Everywhere, the bright red Ottoman flag flies; mosques are increasingly filled with imprisoned 'educational masses'; and extremist religious extremists supporting Erdogan are expanding their reach. The controlled economic model serving the war effort is undergoing a difficult transformation, while the military-industrial complex, having received substantial investment, is eroding most industrial sectors. As a series of military-industrial enterprises operate at breakneck speed, the entire country becomes increasingly out of control.

In order to protect his regime, Erdogan established a fascist organization, the Ottoman Youth.

They are currently wreaking havoc throughout Asia Minor.

On this day, Ottoman youth militia and thugs surrounded the village of Almutlu, located in the central part of the Anatolian Peninsula, on the southern side of the Karamik Marsh. It was an arid plateau where farmers struggled to irrigate their barren land with the meager water from the marsh lake. Recently, many new citizens had been sent from the city; while they could help with farming, they were clearly wasting more food.

However, today, when the youths with gray Ottoman crescent and star flags on their armbands surrounded the village, a massacre began.

The "citizens" imprisoned here were suddenly beaten to death in their sleep with iron bars and swords. Fathers were killed, mothers were killed, and even the children had no chance to escape. The twilight of night concealed all the evil.

The leader calmly took out his phone to take a selfie as evidence.

"A major earthquake struck, and the ground around us began to shake."

In the background, flames and billowing smoke mingle with the screams of people being killed. Adding processed footage of collapsed buildings in post-production makes editing an earthquake video relatively easy.

Fascists left a collective message to prove their innocence:

"The tremors were strong in some areas."

At this moment, the priests in the mosque rushed out in a rage:

"What are you doing?!"

The Ottoman youths grinned mischievously and said:

"It's a real shame we couldn't save them in time."

The priests turned and saw the massacred people scattering in all directions. Their anger intensified as they condemned the youth: "You are demons! Fascists! Ibliss! There is no one more despicable than you!"

Even by the standards of traditional Islamic law and morality, these people are worse than animals.

The straightforward villagers in the mountains also despised the youth group's behavior and rushed to their aid.

So the youths, who were originally meant to eliminate the civilians, simply picked up pistols and machetes, and massacred even the mosque's priests and apprentices, as well as the entire village's mountain people. They completed their despicable population elimination plan at 200% speed.

This is the daily routine of a fascist organization: killing all normal people.

The body was thrown into the swamp, making the land more fertile the following year.

The leader raised his left hand, making a fist with his little and index fingers, and the rest of his fingers clenched into a wolf's head shape, and shouted passionately:

"Kill all these fools and win back land under the sun for us normal people."

Perhaps he was too excited, so his voice trembled, revealing his unusual accent.

At this point, many members of the youth group realized that their leader was actually the Gray Wolf organization, a traditional Turkish fascist organization notorious for Pan-Turkism and terrorist attacks, and therefore banned throughout the EU, China, Central Asia, and even Azerbaijan.

These individuals are now active in Turkey and Syria, and are key supporters of the unification of Turkey and Syria. Their goal is to create a Greater Turkestan encompassing Turkey, Azerbaijan, the five Central Asian republics, and Xinjiang, China.

Is this dark humor?

Some members of the Ottoman Youth looked at the corpses scattered throughout the swamp and remained silent.

In any case, in the existing records, there is only one: "In the autumn of 2032, a major earthquake occurred in central Asia Minor, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries."

An earthquake did occur near Eskişehir, but the actual death toll was only around 1,000. All other population losses are collectively referred to as 'catastrophic deaths'.

However, for the Turks, this was a catalyst for fascism.

The so-called 'major earthquake' disaster, coupled with the EU's escalating sanctions and NATO missiles constantly flying in from the sky, along with the continuous military control and economic recession, have all made the Turks feel desperate (don't ask how).

They had no choice but to obey Erdogan's cries:

"The earthquake destroyed our homes, and the Europeans want to crush our hopes! So we have no choice but to move forward!"

More Turks were brought into the army; the Grey Wolves and the Ottoman Youth were just the beginning of fascism. Soon, remnants of dozens of terrorist organizations, including ISIS from Syria, turned to join Turkey, pushing extreme fascism a significant step forward.

While Turkish troops are still engaged in street fighting in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, another Turkish army had advanced to the Siret-Danube line in northeastern Romania when they were warned by the Red Army on the opposite side.

The Red Army used artillery to warn the Turkish army:

"That's the end of it. Türkiye is not allowed to cross the Siret River and enter the Romanian-held Moldavia."

The reason is quite simple: if Turkey stops at the Siret River, the Red Army only needs to defend a 300-kilometer border along the river's centerline. However, if they control Romanian Moldova, the Red Army will face a 1500-kilometer-long border.

That's the truth, but the Turks just wouldn't listen.

So the Red Army had to show the Turks what real power was, and the air force formations that took off accurately bombed the Turkish troops who were trying to cross the border northward.

After being brutally beaten, the Turkish command ordered them not to cross the border, which enraged the Turkish army, who then raised an extremist flag on the other side.

"We crave the blood of the Chinese people!"

Clearly, the extremists in the Turkish army knew that the main force of the new CCP on the other side was Chinese.

Both sides maintain a persistent confrontational stance on the Xinjiang issue.

In 2015, when extremist sentiment surged in Turkey, the Grey Wolf organization, taking advantage of the situation and accusing China of enslaving and imprisoning ethnic minorities along with the EU, not only attacked tourists from East Asian countries but also displayed the same flag and went to the Chinese embassy to protest.

Of course, we later learned that the Turkish Grey Wolves organization had organized people to break into Chinese restaurants and injure Koreans and Uyghurs, and then went to the wrong place to demonstrate and hang flags in front of the Thai embassy. Basically, they only made themselves look more and more shameful.

It's one thing to not be able to distinguish between East Asian countries, but Turkish extremists have even gone so far as to oppose Russia and vandalize the Dutch embassy, ​​which shows they really aren't thinking straight.

The Red Army soldiers north of the border, watching the Turkish troops across the border screaming wildly, initially thought they were having an epileptic seizure. After taking photos and translating the flags they were displaying with their phones, they circulated the images among Ukrainians, Moldovans, and Russians.

Everyone burst into laughter, finding the Turkish threat utterly ridiculous.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from? It made everyone laugh."

……

end of 2032.

Li Xinghe's family didn't have many newborns this year, so he mainly focused his energy on the political situation in Europe.

Zhang Xiaoqian, who was in Japan, and Park Yoo-shin, who was in Singapore, flew back to Yokota Air Base one after another to hold a European seminar at the Joint Operations Headquarters.

Lin Youzi's usual role as the main speaker:

"Turkey has essentially taken control of the Varangian and Dobroga regions of Romania. They are currently hampered by resistance from the Romanian military and civilians in Bucharest, the southern Carpathian Mountains, and our prohibition on them from moving north across the Siret-Danube line."

This became the main reason for the friction between the two sides.

From the perspective of extreme Ottoman imperialists, the Red Army's failure to prevent them from entering Bessarabia was tantamount to preventing them from recapturing the Ottoman territory of Silastra province.

"Looking west, the Turkish army is stuck in North Macedonia and is now busy slaughtering Albanians. To the south, the Turkish army has only just entered annexed Syria, and in reality, they don't control much, they can only hold onto the Aleppo-Homs-Damascus line. To the east, the Turks are clashing with Armenia on the border."

After watching Türkiye's performance this year, Li Xinghe is a bit of a dud.

He said with great disappointment:

“I gave Turkey a year to run wild and howl like a rabid dog. And that’s all they’ve done so far. It’s basically the same as the territory they conquered in the first three months.”

This is similar to the early stages of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, when Russia appeared to be on a fierce offensive. However, two years later, it seems to have settled into the same areas, or even performed worse. Turkey is in a similar situation.

Zhang Xiaoqian pondered the map:
