Although the number of graduates from the Etajima Naval Academy is increasing and reliable personnel from the former Self-Defense Forces are being recalled, the combined forces' naval manpower is still starting to become strained, and they have even begun to compete with China and South Korea for students.

After resetting the old men's teaching index and their life index to zero, Lin Youzi accompanied Li Xinghe to the dock at Yokosuka Port.

The dock is now filled with all kinds of ships, almost all of them are ready to be commissioned.

Zhang Xiaoqian had arrived, and he pointed to several large iron lumps on his left:

"The third batch of amphibious assault ships has been unveiled. As previously named, they are the Jinghai, Lanfang, Xingzhou, Australia, and Maori."

This batch of amphibious assault ships underwent significant simplification, with their total tonnage reduced to less than 4 tons. The iconic 510mm massive naval gun was removed and replaced with two single-mounted 203mm rapid-fire naval guns. The number of vertical launch cells was increased from 120 to 240, allowing for the loading of large shipborne ballistic missiles. The aft flight deck and amphibious special operations bays were also enlarged.

In addition, their information modules have been significantly enhanced, enabling them to support electronic warfare networks with higher power and more complex spectrum. Moreover, they possess more advanced amphibious warfare command suites, which can assist aircraft carriers in overall command and control operations, or independently undertake amphibious task force missions.

Zhang Xiaoqian then pointed to the five guided-missile destroyers on his right:

"The second batch of guided-missile destroyers has also been launched and commissioned, and they have been named Kai, Owari, Echigo, Omi and Suruga."

These five guided-missile destroyers, each displacing around 2 tons, have made outstanding contributions to the trend towards larger warships. Their primary combat capability also relies on large ballistic missiles, possessing the ability to launch nuclear warheads at long range.

Li Xinghe asked casually:

"Why are most of them provinces under the jurisdiction of the Tokaido region?"

This caused a burst of laughter:

"They call it the 'Sengoku Daimyo Naming Method.' This time it's a Kanto special, so maybe they're watching Owari Daisakusen. Next time it'll probably be Kansai, like Kobayakawa Takakage or something."

To Li Xinghe's diagonal rear, in what was originally the berthing area for Nissan's roll-on/roll-off ships, two experimental light aircraft carriers were moored. These two 2-ton flat-deck carriers have not yet been named. They are large unmanned aerial vehicle carriers specifically designed for long-range air combat, carrying heavy aircraft such as the Attack-11, WZ-8, Rainbow, and Sharp Sword.

In terms of data alone, Li Xinghe's shipbuilding speed is second only to China next door, and the number of warships launched in recent years has frequently topped the list.

Looking at these massive machines, and the aircraft carriers taking shape diagonally opposite, Li Xinghe said with satisfaction:

"People say we are construction gods. If we build so many warships but don't use them, wouldn't that be a waste?"

Zhang Xiaoqian brought over a young military officer and introduced him:

"This is Chen Cheng, the reserve commander of the First Expeditionary Force, a Ryukyuan."

Ryukyuans are a general term for Japanese people of Chinese descent.

Li Xinghe patted him on the shoulder and asked:

"Ready? Time to land in Hawaii."

"Of course, I'm fully prepared to charge into the beach! As long as my partner isn't surnamed Nan Yun." Chen Cheng saluted, then cracked a little joke with Li Xinghe.

Crossing Hawaii and entering the eastern Pacific Ocean—this is the great future that so many people have been pursuing for countless days.

"Even landing in San Francisco."

Zhang Xiaoqian added:

"How does it feel to be returning to my birthplace? The people of San Francisco will certainly be overjoyed."

"Really?"

Chen Cheng was shocked, never expecting Li Xinghe to have such an effect in San Francisco.

Zhang Xiaoqian slipped a newspaper into Li Xinghe's hand.

This is the fantasy of a group of poor people from San Francisco. They propose that San Francisco should be granted the status of a free city, become independent from the United States and also from California, and then go to Li Xinghe, who was also born here, and pay him to get his army's assistance.

Similar sentiments were prevalent in California, as the call for Californian independence had been raised several times already. Californians were eager to build a completely new nation, breaking away from the current US government. At the same time, given their weak military, they believed seeking help from Li Xinghe was the best option.

Li Xinghe shrugged slightly:

"I'm so damn pissed off."

......

America.

The White House was in an uproar.

"They've betrayed us! They're going to attack us!"

After Trump fell seriously ill, the government was leaderless, especially the group led by Donald Trump Jr., who simply did not know how to stabilize politics.

Although they owned everything—the state defense force and an army composed of Haitian blacks—they effectively kicked all of these people out themselves, thinking it would allow them to embezzle more military funds.

As a result, state defense troops and Haitian Blacks deserted their posts and began to defect to Obama.

By August, when Obama's influence had extended to control the outskirts of Washington, the Republican Party naturally collapsed.

None of the Trump family's lackeys had a firm will to resist.

They hurriedly sent application letters to struggle groups, including the Democratic Party:

"We surrender!"

Donald Trump Jr., along with his wife and children, joined the reorganized Republican Party, hoping to gain political capital. Eric Trump, with Lara Trump, fled to Florida, seeking to reclaim the business empire left by his father. Trump's last wife, Melania, fled to Canada with their son, Barron.

Kushner and Ivanka divorced. As a Jew, Kushner's role had been abandoned by the Trump family, leaving him to fend for himself in the United States. Ivanka, on the other hand, fled to Tokyo with her eldest daughter, Arabella.

In fact, if they had been willing to resist at that point, with the assistance of the provincial defense forces, they still had the military means to defeat all enemies. However, just as the shogunate still had the power to resist after losing the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, the shogun himself led the way in surrendering.

The Trump family scattered and fled, while Obama moved into Washington, D.C.

Obama, already showing signs of aging, with paler skin and gray hair, appeared before the Americans.

This scene brought tears to the eyes of many who had lived through the Obama era.

Although many political issues became irrational at that time, at least the economy was stable, people were happy, the turmoil of the 08 subprime mortgage crisis had passed, and everything seemed to be thriving.

Obama outlined a key principle for the legitimacy of his regime in a speech to the public:

"I will serve as acting president. To be precise, people, I will begin a three-year period of national reform. The chaos that began in 2028 needs to be cleaned up, and I will do my utmost to ensure that the 2036 election is held as scheduled."

Strictly speaking, this was a coup d'état.

Trump himself was picked up by a special plane sent by Li Xinghe, the government was left by Vance, and Obama seized the presidency entirely through a coup.

People certainly know this is wrong.

"This is our third leader to come to power through illegal means."

“Starting in 2028, everything will be in chaos.”

But all we can do is hope that he will resolve everything.

What people most hope for is that Obama can resolve the current social polarization and stop the extremists from fighting.

Then comes the task of managing the economy.

Shock therapy has begun, and the US is in a severe shock, but its debt ratio is indeed decreasing, and various economic indicators are considered to show signs of recovery. As long as Obama can stabilize the economy during the three-year period of restructuring, he will be the only savior of the United States.

It is God.

A Black God.

Now, Mr. Obama's new politics has begun.

To support Obama, talk shows like The Jimmy Show have invited veteran anchors to come out and tell jokes.

"Do you know? There are 10 mass shootings every day in the US right now. Every day we see 'mentally unstable people,' 'internet trolls,' 'split personality lunatics,' 'copycats looking for instant fame,' and 'bisexual freaks whose gender is garbage bags' going on a shooting spree. Online, there are countless political lewds and trolls causing trouble every day. I even watch cat and dog videos and trolls comment 'Is this dog LGBT or cisgender?' I'm going crazy! Obama, stop them!"

In response to these calls, the Obama administration announced:

"We are introducing the Information Control Act to the whole society. This act authorizes the government to control information."

Since Obama actively expanded the LGBT+ issue, his response is to prohibit further "hate-mongering" on this issue, and those who disobey the executive order will be considered "instigators of social unrest."

Whether you support LGBT or oppose LGBT, arrest them all.

People started to feel that something was wrong.

Soon, television programming was drastically cut, with at least 30% dedicated to praising the government's effective governance. Most radio stations collapsed, and media professionals faced public restrictions. Many social media platforms were completely shut down from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Video games also experienced an eight-hour blackout.

In just over ten days, Obama finally revealed his true nature.

The United States' powerful agencies, including the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, CIS, U.S. Marshals and police, have almost all received the fullest authorization and political promises to join forces in a comprehensive crackdown on "all far-left and far-right groups" and "incitement of public opinion against social conflict."

Yes, he is indeed trying to bridge social conflicts.

But Obama's approach was not the kind of approach Americans preferred; he directly shut down the internet.

Netizens began to question:

"He controls newspapers, radio stations, and short video platforms. He also wants to put a shackle on the mouths of every media figure who can speak out. Eight hours of internet outage—what exactly does he want to do?"

Meanwhile, Obama's office continued to issue new laws:

"Political Speech Review Act. All public figures must obtain prior approval from the Presidential Office for Correct Information before making political statements on social media platforms."

"Specific website blocking law. Websites that may incite riots, such as 4chan, Reddit, Discord, Telgram, and other social media platforms, will be subject to a strict 30-day review. Platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will be subject to special review and ordered to prohibit the reappearance of relevant censored words."

"The Internet Game Blocking Law will ban video games that promote violence and hatred."

"Steam, get out of America! GOG, get out of America! Epic, get out of America!"

The dizzying array of political initiatives has left Americans feeling overwhelmed.

The so-called "Presidential Office for Correct Information" is an office responsible for the fastest official information verification and review, and for confirming whether the information is permissible for publication.

Obama invited many of his college friends to form a political editorial team of over 400 people to codify a new social morality to replace the LGBT and redneck narratives.

Its nickname is very straightforward; Americans simply call it:

"Ministry of Truth".

This behavior is generally referred to as:

"Salazarism, the desire to be a philosopher-king."

Chapter 139: Obama's Isolationist Strategy and the Abolition of the Five Major War Departments (4700 words)

"take off!"

The 88-year-old Trump was transported away from Washington by a transport plane while in a deep coma.

According to the doctor's assessment, Lao Chuanbao has fallen into a state of hemiplegia, with only a small part of his body still able to move. Although he has managed to survive for a few more years, he can only lie in bed reading newspapers.

It's hard to say whether Li Xinghe's act of taking in Lao Chuanbao was good or bad for him.

In the coming years, Trump will witness firsthand the gradual collapse of a once-powerful America, and see the MAGA movement he created, the money he sought, the fate of his family, and all his wealth crumble in this historical process.

After ousting Trump, Obama's path to governing, lacking a solid foundation, began.

Throughout his life, he strived to cultivate a philosopher-king-like temperament and governing approach, but he was never able to fully realize his ambitions.

"What are they saying outside?" Obama asked his staff.

"They're still talking about finance."

A new national development plan is being drafted in the president's office.

Spending in education, healthcare, social security, the military, and finance—after years of gradual economic decline—has finally plummeted to an unsustainable level. But precisely because of this, it may be a case of hitting rock bottom and then finding a way back up.

With the leaders of the MAGA movement falling one by one, American economists can finally admit that 'the current state of affairs in the United States represents a turning point in a decade-long economic recession since the stagflation caused by the 2020 pandemic.'

American scholars don’t need much proof to demonstrate that the economy 20 years after the pandemic is a major stagflation. Regardless of the depreciation of the dollar or government changes, the core issue that the struggle is about is only one: how to solve the major stagflation.

Vance addressed the overvaluation of the dollar, Trump crippled the medical complex and social security, and even the defeat in Hawaii led to cuts in military spending. The ultimate result they achieved was cutting government spending, draining national savings, and gradually filling the hole of stagflation.

Of course, the reason for being willing to face reality is that it has come to this point.

The stagflation that began in 08 with Obama's incomplete efforts to address the subprime mortgage crisis has finally come to an end with his return to power.

The business community is hoping that Obama's 'three-year reform period' will bring some positive changes to boost national confidence.

The financial sector and Wall Street spent a lot of money creating positive expectations for a rise in the market, encouraging Obama to adopt proactive fiscal policies to support a rapid recovery in the financial sector.

The financial and media circles have repeatedly urged Obama to begin an economic (financial) recovery.

So, after launching a strong crackdown on various extreme ideologies, Obama delivered a speech on 'American Patriot Day' on September 11.

On this day, Obama invited veteran political families, financial elites, and top professors from various industries in Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and other places to a place that people were very familiar with.

That is the Lincoln Memorial, where Li Xinghe appeared and fought twice.

The place is quite old; Lincoln was not favored during the Trump era, and the walls are covered with bullet holes from numerous battles.

People discovered there weren't even benches, so they sat on the wasteland, listening to Obama's teachings.
