Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

In a conference room at the CIA headquarters in Langley, which is said to have control over the dark world, a group of people began their meeting by candlelight.

Looking at the tiny candle, Li Xinghe couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"At least there's some light at the end of the tunnel."

At the same time, Chief Mora revealed the true purpose of this meeting:

"You are all the cream of the crop in the intelligence community. You have our influence spread all over the world. Some of you even like to throw bombs at government agencies. You control hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flow. You can overthrow a country at any time. But now I have a question: what should we do in this election?"

"We" refers to the entire CIA, excluding those two rubber stamps.

The author says:

Author's Note: Thank you all for your support. Here's 4700 words. Americans are yearning for an all-powerful savior. This isn't just my own speculation, but a summary of various observations. Trump carries the aura of a savior, which is why he keeps creating drama, and even Maga can tolerate it. After all, they can't find another person with that savior persona.

Chapter 612: Defend Washington, Support Trump (4200 words)

On a day of power outage, the CIA, like a sharp knife, somehow developed self-awareness and secretly plotted its own fate.

The assistant deputy director of the European branch was the first to protest:

"Under President Trump, our global policies have become a complete mess. We dislike Trump and will not allow him to violate the Constitution."

The Intelligence Analysis Bureau, on the other hand, was complaining bitterly:

"We can't let a second Trump come to power. We don't want to see him arbitrarily adjust policies and act on his whims again. Are we going to let Musk continue to illegally extract data from the Social Security database, fabricate stories, and deceive people?"

Li Xinghe quietly made a funny comment from behind:

"What's wrong with a vampire who fought alongside Washington collecting a pension? We should invite them to speak to Congress. After all, a 360-year-old man should be among the first Spanish pioneers to land in America, maybe even Columbus himself."

Everyone burst into laughter. Maga's idiotic jokes are endless.

Of course, this matter is not very serious.

The United States does not have a unified social security database. Musk illegally stole social security data using web crawlers, merged it, and then used it to spread rumors without proper processing. This is a rather low-level act that everyone can tolerate. After all, data can be easily manipulated: delete blank cells, merge interstate individuals, deduct from green card holders, and finally, arrest elderly people illegally receiving social security benefits.

As early as the beginning of the 21st century, the problem of elderly insurance fraud in the United States was rampant and frequently depicted in various TV dramas. Low-level methods included hiding the bodies of elderly people; high-level methods involved terminating relationships during working hours to ensure the victim could receive the compensation money.

If Musk could get his hands on the CIA's internal budget statements and show them to people, that would be truly impressive.

At this point, the attendees' inclinations were clear. The intelligence system naturally has close ties with the Democratic Party, not only because the Democrats actively interfered with the Intelligence Committee during the 2000 reforms, but also because the Democratic Party's global strategy better suits the needs of intelligence agencies.

Despite everyone leaning towards the pro-Democratic Party direction, Chief Mora's expression remained unchanged.

Li Xinghe astutely judged that this old lady must have higher aspirations, not just limited to which party she sided with, but that Ruidao had her own thoughts.

Since he was the only Asian present, he dared to speak up:

"But if a Democratic president were in charge, the intelligence committee would have jurisdiction over us. They would send intelligence experts to tighten their oversight authority, cut our funding and operational direction, and then continue to create crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, where we have barely maintained a balance of power."

The CIA clearly does not want further turmoil in the Middle East and Ukraine, as this is not in their interest.

The CIA went to great lengths to clean up the mess left by Israel and Ukraine, managing to suppress various anti-American and anti-Israeli armed groups and achieve a temporary freeze on the Ukraine issue.

Everyone's opinions changed along with Li Xinghe:

"If Ukraine is truly occupied by Russia, our European strategy will also fail."

"Nobody wants to clean up Israel's mess!"

"Ah, the sad news. Just three hours ago, before our power went out, unrest broke out again in the Middle East. New armed groups have emerged on the Iraqi-Syrian border, and rockets have been fired in Lebanon and the West Bank. Israel has demanded that the US military provide them with more bombs. But, as fate would have it, our warehouses are now so empty that rats could run across them."

"Their slogans are to support Okinawa, defend a second Gaza, and establish a global anti-American arc."

Li Xinghe then cracked a lame joke:

"What a huge arc! It stretches from Yemen all the way to Japan. Does India agree to this?"

"Let India go eat shit, they've been licking the ass of the Chinese for a long time (not absolutely anti-China = absolutely pro-China)."

The office was noisy and chaotic.

In Li Xinghe's view, this den of thieves perfectly embodied the characteristics of thieves: spineless and indecisive. They wielded dark blades, yet only followed the crowd blindly to opinions.

They were in charge of the CIA's underground power in a certain country, but they were not as good at setting the pace as Li Xinghe.

Chief Mora asked:

"Raise your hand if you support the Democratic Party."

Half the people raised their hands.

She asked again:

"Raise your hand if you support the Republican Party."

A small percentage of people raised their hands.

What does this mean?

This shows that everyone enjoys an environment where neither party can control the situation; only in murky waters can one fish. To a large extent, the CIA, a severely overstaffed agency that relies on itself to balance its overseas budget, thrives precisely because the central government is weak.

Therefore, after clarifying the department's opinion, the Great Chief announced:

“I understand. Now, each of you state your views, but don’t say them aloud. Write them down and give them to me. Japanese kid, come to my office; we’ll talk first.”

She stood up, and Li Xinghe followed behind her, like an orc chieftain leading goblin ghouls.

Upon arriving at the office, before the Great Chief could say anything, Li Xinghe immediately proposed:

"I suggested that I take charge of liaising with Trump and Vice President Vance. I have good relationships with both sides, especially since President Trump is currently isolated and has few important supporters, while Vice President Vance, although in power, lacks support."

Ms. Mora thought for a moment and commented on Li Xinghe:

"You're well-suited for politics."

Li Xinghe continued to praise:

"Of course, Obama wants to see me, but I'm afraid of being manipulated by him. And I'm sure Obama wants to see you."

After boasting for a while, Li Xinghe left the CIA.

Jill asked curiously:

"You went in 2"

How was the harvest in the past hour?

Li Xinghe replied:

"She promised to make me the underground king of East Asia's intelligence community and let us send people to Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines to cause trouble."

"What a great find!"

Jill got on the bus first, and Li Xinghe got on the bus after her.

Li Xinghe closed the door, started the car, and said:

"They're all in cahoots."

The car sped out of Langley headquarters. Jill mounted her M4 rifle on the passenger seat, fired at a group of extreme Greens, and fled.

……

Maliki's squad is even busier.

The phones were constantly ringing with calls about wounded soldiers, departmental expansions, and liaison with top Democrats and Republicans.

If it weren't for breastfeeding, Aiman ​​would habitually pull out an energy drink.

Li Xinghe could only be thankful that he had given all of Aiman's painkiller boxes to the homeless veterans.

But the explosive news seems to keep coming.

After Trump insisted on staying in the White House, the troop movements in various states were no secret.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was the first to step forward and announce:

"In order to protect the national security of the United States, to ensure a fair and peaceful election, and to prevent those with ulterior motives from seizing power, I hereby declare that the Pennsylvania National Guard is to be immediately assembled and placed on high alert!"

As a National Guard under state command, Pennsylvania has the largest armed force on the East Coast, an entire 28th Infantry Division, including the 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 56th Stryker Armored Brigade, and the 28th Combat Aviation Brigade, totaling more than 20,000 men. It is also rich in armored forces and can cut through Washington, D.C. in a matter of hours along Highway 70.

But if it's just Pennsylvania mobilizing, that's not much.

As a region with a traditional concentration of blue states, Washington, D.C., and its surrounding areas are all blue states.

纽约州宣布动员第27步兵旅、第42战航旅；新泽西州宣布动员44步兵旅；马里兰州宣布动员第29战航旅；弗吉尼亚宣布动员第116步兵旅。

In the surrounding states, everyone claims it's to 'defend the country and our democracy' and 'defend America,' but the troop movements are clearly aimed at encircling Washington.

This time, the Democratic Party has abandoned rational struggle and adopted a more aggressive and intimidating approach.

A massive army is pressing in.

This is not the first time the Democratic Party has mobilized in this way. Back in 2024, several states mobilized the National Guard, ostensibly to control the situation and prevent violent clashes from threatening the election, but in reality, they were allowing far-left violent groups to storm polling stations, burn Republican voters' ballot boxes, and go to great lengths to secure benefits for the Democratic Party.

Li Xinghe's phone rang again as expected.

"Come to the White House."

"Yes, President Trump."

On a stormy night, as the raging storm swept down, engulfing everything in its path, Li Xinghe drove to the White House. Guided by the Secret Service, he listened in a small room to Trump and his supporters' impotent rage in their office.

"They've deployed over 40,000 troops near Washington, a full 40,000! Two reinforced divisions have completely surrounded us!"

"Order the Pentagon to send regular troops to disperse them!"

Trump's supporters are going crazy.

After leaving the conference room, Trump met with Li Xinghe alone.

He asked with concern:

What do I have now?

Trump doesn't know what military forces he can use.

Li Xinghe then replied to him:

"Um... considering that the Pentagon is probably not so harmonious and compliant, you now have the Washington, D.C. National Guard, which is about... a full 3400 people, including a command headquarters, a military police battalion, an air company, a military band, a hospital, a training center, several transport convoys, and so on."

Trump emphasized:

"Most of them are not capable of fighting."

Li Xinghe responded:

"Well... at least their determination to protect the president is very strong."

Chuanbao was unusually dejected, staring blankly at the torrential rain outside the window.

This is Trump's time for backroom politics. The old man has few people around him, and even his most steadfast Florida friends are starting to waver. This is the perfect moment for Li Xinghe to make his mark.

Trump turned back and asked Li Xinghe again:

"Many people have told me that we should try to stage a coup and wipe out the Democratic Party. What do you think?"

This is exactly what he has always thought.

But Li Xinghe refuted him again, and his words were just like those of a loyal minister offering advice:

"You mean... those YouTubers outside who spout nonsense and promote condoms are suggesting you attack the Democratic Party headquarters? You're the president, you clearly have unlimited executive power, yet you can only fight like a loser? There are plenty of other ways."

Trump's biggest problem now, or rather, his biggest problem all along, is the lack of support from legitimate figures.

Even now, those still around Trump are either sycophants or mentally unstable individuals like far-right YouTube bloggers.

When Yin Xiyue was in jail, he was completely fooled by these far-right YouTubers. In the end, he found that the number of people who actually helped him offline was far less than the number of people who talked nonsense online.

Trump immediately sat down and asked Li Xinghe to explain how to break the deadlock in a situation where he was surrounded by enemies.

There was no third person in the room.

Li Xinghe had already checked the listening device beforehand, so he confidently began to give his instructions:

"Now we can only mobilize the militia. I believe that if the president is willing to give them official designations, the number of people eager to enlist will be quite large. In fact, the Treasury Department should still have plenty of funds, the White House in Washington has ample spare cash, many capitalists in New York City and Silicon Valley are willing to provide some assistance, and you also have your own assistance account. Of course, all of this must be fully compliant with regulations."

At 83, Chuanbao's brain had become rigid; he followed mechanically.

How to achieve compliance?

In theory, there are no more troops that he can mobilize.

But Li Xinghe still had a way; he unearthed a small, largely ignored organization:
