Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Mexican drug cartels now possess a large number of weapons exported from East Asia, and even some active-duty US military equipment. They are well-equipped and have even begun to build their own administration bureaus on the border, profiting from illegal smuggling of immigrants while continuously launching decapitation strikes into the United States.

It may appear as if Vanska is triumphantly celebrating, but in reality, blood is being shed silently everywhere along the long border. Few border guards remain dedicated to protecting the country; those left are either smugglers or drug traffickers. Beneath this seemingly calm surface lies a rapid drain on border revenue.

However, the Mexican drug cartel war is indeed the ballast that allows Vance to remain president.

at this time.

The discussions and speeches are still taking place in Congress.

Democrats displayed a spirit of congressional struggle, wearing diapers and stalling for time with all sorts of nonsense on the podium. Their core message was to delay the national debt issue until it collapsed after midnight.

Republicans are clamoring:

"Don't waste time!"

However, the Democrats are determined to thoroughly investigate Li Xinghe's attack on Yokota:

"If any country can attack our overseas military bases at will, then where exactly is America's strength? Where is our dignity?"

Democratic lawmakers are overjoyed.

The matter of Li Xinghe's brazen attack on the US military base has not yet been fully explained!

If we examine this closely, the attack on Yokota Air Base was no less significant than the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II!

Of course, the Democrats were also pleased that Ayako Aso had dealt a crushing blow to Rubio, rendering the core figure of the Liberal Party caucus a useless cripple in a hospital bed. It saved them a lot of trouble.

Time ticked by amidst the endless arguments.

No one is really holding Li Xinghe accountable, and no one really cares about the thousands of captured American soldiers and their families. Everyone is only focused on US debt.

The clock struck midnight.

As the members of parliament's phones kept ringing, everyone learned a fact.

It's past midnight.

As Vance's debt crisis passed midnight Eastern Time, the US Treasury bond defaulted once again, with $10 trillion in US Treasury bonds being frantically sold off in the market, and the US market's fear index soaring.

If Li Xinghe's attack on Yokota Air Base was a "brave climb to a new peak," then the US stock market's fear index has also been climbing to a new peak, reaching its highest level in nearly 10 years, or even nearly 20 years.

Endless bickering in Congress, and outside, clashes between left-wing and right-wing groups raging across the hills. The gunfire never truly left Washington.

Those members of Congress who can speak for hours in diapers might be beaten to death by gangsters next to a monument the next second they step outside.

It was as if the death knell of the empire was being tolled incessantly.

……

Obama, who has retired but never left and remains one of the biggest figures in the Democratic Party, began speaking to reporters:

"The current situation is like two stray dogs fighting in a mud pit, splattering excrement and urine everywhere."

The reporter asked curiously:

What are your thoughts on Super G?

Obama said unintentionally:

"He looks like an American, maybe Japanese, perhaps Korean, but upon closer inspection, he might be a little bastard sent by China to drag the US into a dogfight."

how to say?

In a sense, Obama has already identified Li Xinghe correctly.

But nobody, including Obama himself, took the "sent by China" seriously. After all, Li Xinghe's political stance seemed to have consistently and firmly swung along with Trump. On the contrary, many brainless MAGA members and Republicans liked to use Li Xinghe's Chinese-American identity to generate traffic.

Obama's main point was actually to accuse Li Xinghe of lowering America's national dignity and pushing everyone into the cesspool of low-level infighting within the Republican Party.

The biggest blow to the United States from Li Xinghe's emergence was not that he stole the fruits of American rule in Japan and South Korea—after all, the South Koreans and Japanese had long been trying to break free from American control. He actually delayed this process of decoupling, and to some extent helped the United States restrain the domestic forces in both countries.

The biggest problem with this bad boy is that he's dragged the United States into this cesspool of mud, making them tear each other apart like dogs. The once unrivaled world hegemon is now forced to fight with a few dogs in the mud.

And so the whole world saw:

The giant did not bleed, but its kidneys ran away on their own.

The giants didn't seem to be at war, but they had shrunk to the point of tearing each other apart in a mud pit with a few dogs.

It seems that America is still the same America.

But starting from 2017, the United States in 2029 will seem like a counterfeit product from another world.

However, it would be inaccurate to say that Li Xinghe was solely responsible. Even current American politicians have no reason to blame Li Xinghe for lowering America's fighting standards. He was merely an outsider, and often his interactions with women were simply spontaneous and impulsive.

Obama's long string of criticisms and accusations is understandable even to the average citizen.

This may seem like an attack on Li Xinghe, but it's actually a way of using the criticism of Li Xinghe to insult Trump, calling him nothing more than a mad dog from a cesspool.

Because the one who instigated this whole series of events, creating chaos through constitutional amendments, tariffs, and the demand for a third term, truly dragging the United States into a quagmire, tearing it apart like a dog with a bunch of small countries, is actually Trump, the best source of amusement for people.

Chuanbao, ah.

Chapter 734: Vance breaks down and begs for mercy; Taiko arrests people with STDs at night (4500 words)

Few people know that Obama had actually established contact with Li Xinghe.

Long before Li Xinghe had established his dominance in Japan, Obama had already recognized his troublemaking nature and secretly invested resources in him through Lin Mulan (Enola).

The unrest that day spread from villages to towns, from streets to supermarkets, with voices of anger heard everywhere.

The average American has nowhere to turn for help, and now they are ready to express their anger to the whole society.

In the supermarket, a Black woman was carrying a bag in one hand:

"The price of a bag of bread in the supermarket has risen to $20!"

The supporters behind them added screams:

"Bread in some New York supermarkets has already risen to $50!"

People's anger is burning amid the wild fluctuations in food prices.

In 2017, a bag of 20 slices of bread cost about $2. A housewife could stock up on many bags at home, fry an egg, spread some mayonnaise, and that was a meal.

In 2025, a bag of 20 slices of bread will cost about $7, forcing many families to shop more cautiously. While they try to find more bread options, not only bread, but almost all food, utilities, national taxes, and living expenses are skyrocketing, leaving people to search for easier ways to satisfy their hunger.

This year, the price has spiraled out of control, almost like a car flying into the sky.

Compared to ten years ago, the price of a 20-slice bag of bread has increased tenfold. The price of eggs has increased at least fourfold.

Meanwhile, the price of rice in Japan has only tripled.

Rising living costs have emboldened left-wing and right-wing groups to become more extreme.

kill!

It must be these worms that are preventing us from making America better.

They fired at each other; bullets were cheaper than bread.

They floored the gas pedal; gasoline was cheaper than beer.

In the dreams of most Americans, and indeed globally, the United States in 2017 was truly a paradise, a place where one-dollar fried chicken was a real possibility. The mistakes of the subprime crisis seemed to be behind them, Obama had stepped down, the economy looked good, and real estate was appreciating. Everyone was getting ready to prepare for the election.

Who would have thought that the 08 financial crisis and Obama's actions that tore apart American society would converge and explode to elect Trump!

The third underlying issue that Americans find even more unacceptable is that in 2017, China was continuously upgrading its industries, and its ability to support the United States was decreasing day by day.

When Trump launched the trade war, one-dollar fried chicken became a thing of the past; during the COVID-19 crisis, Trump and Biden showered money from helicopters, causing prices to skyrocket; Trump's tariff war sent prices to Mars; the accumulation of fifty trillion US dollars in US debt has completely crushed everyone's spirits.

Who wouldn't want to go back to America in 2017? Even though the seeds of all the troubles we face today were sown back then.

At this time, supporters of the Democratic Party and supporters of the Republican Party were clearly divided at opposite ends.

Democrats angrily denounced: "It's all Trump's fault!"

"It's clearly a conspiracy between the Democrats and the deep state!" Republicans retorted fiercely.

Frankly speaking, the Democrats are better at governing than the Republicans, but they are too elitist. The Trump administration, while atrocious in its governance, has managed to unite most lower- and middle-class white people.

The two parties are like cutting a person in half: one has a brain but no legs, and the other has legs but no brain.

One Trump destroyed everything.

There was nothing they could do; it was the Americans' choice.

Intense armed clashes, flames raging across the sky, smuggling convoys constantly heading north from the Mexican border, extortion and bribery by state traffic police blocking smuggling routes, and the confrontations between the Maga and Antifa militants in rural areas and towns—all these became the backdrop for the longest day in 29 years.

Thick black smoke billowed into the sky around the White House and the Capitol, these gleaming buildings.

……

Tokyo.

5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Having successfully rescued Trump across the ocean, delayed the US debt crisis past midnight, and demonstrated his boundless 'loyalty,' Li Xinghe now needs to showcase himself in front of the media once again.

They are always in front of the media, instead of doing business in the office.

This is the 21st century, and this is the magical populist politics pioneered by Trump.

Fortunately, the overall quality of people in East Asia is much higher than that in the United States.

Today's topic is "How Happy Was Life in Japan Under His Highness Prince Ri Taiko? Tokyo Rice Prices Plunge".

Li Xinghe, accompanied by Kai, arrived at a Communist-controlled discount supermarket amidst media scrutiny to inquire:

How much does a bag of rice cost?

The store manager immediately responded and quickly added some explanations:

"The retail price has stabilized at 3500 yen. As for distributors, there are more discounts and offers, and quite a lot of them. In addition, the government is now advocating the relocation of too many residents and the reduction of rents, so the price of set meals in the private sector can finally be stabilized at the 500 yen threshold."

In the past, landlords in Tokyo would never easily lower rents; they would rather raise them every year.

Fortunately, the economic crisis had lasted for more than half a year, with tens of thousands of businesses going bankrupt in Tokyo. More than 200,000 urban women were forced to marry new immigrants in the countryside in order to receive a subsidy of 600,000 yen. Even single women in the city were starting to struggle to make ends meet, and many ordinary families in Tokyo were even more unable to cope, leaving them no choice but to bow down to Li Xinghe and accept his new set of social reforms.

Lower food prices and forced rent reductions have helped stabilize soaring commodity prices. A 500-yen set meal has also allowed many impoverished families to finally manage their household expenses.

In other words, Japan's economy is relatively strong, which allows Li Xinghe to keep prices down during economic downturns to make room for people's living standards.

"Click-click-click..."

The media rushed to take pictures.

However, compared to the price of rice, they preferred to film shots of Li Xinghe and Kai standing together.

The Communist Party store manager hurriedly offered his advice, trying to remind Li Xinghe that there were many more grassroots issues:

"There are concerns, too. If the 500 yen set meal is consistently provided, the number of children visiting Tokyo will increase. There are already many young people smashing up shops, committing murder, and robbing at night; it's hard to control..."

This made Li Xinghe gasp.

Because the income from odd jobs in Tokyo is generally between 4 and 10 yen per month, many homeless children live on the edge of this income. Lower food prices will allow more lawless homeless children to roam freely in Tokyo, potentially leading them to use drugs, become prostitutes/street vendors, develop sexually transmitted diseases in their twenties, disappear from the world, or turn to crime, committing random murders.

This is a youth issue unique to developed countries.

Among the officials behind him, Hasegawa Taishi hurriedly reminded Li Xinghe:

"If we arrest them, they are minors..."

Alas, this again involves issues such as groups of underage children, underage girls being forced or induced into prostitution, and various streetwalkers.

But Li Xinghe didn't care about the law or the wrangling.

"Damn it, we have to hit them hard!"

He immediately ordered the Metropolitan Police Department:

"Go to Kabukicho, Toyoko Plaza, and Shibuya and crack down on gangs, pimps, and drug dealers. Arrest them all. As for the underage ones, take them to a rural farm for reformation. But don't send them too far, just leave them near Kanai-cho in Maebashi City. Have Koizumi... have Master Izumi teach them Chinese and Japanese. After a few months of training, contact their parents. Those who want to go home and attend school can go back, and those who are still incorrigible can continue training. If all else fails, put them in a factory as technicians."

Koizumi is a very charismatic person with high emotional intelligence. Since he is attached to Sennan and her unborn child, and also wants to become a monk, he should take care of these unruly children more often.

The Ministry of Justice was stunned:

How are legal issues explained?

Li Xinghe's eyes darted around, and he immediately said:

"What we're doing is... expanding the management authority of juvenile detention centers and juvenile management offices, and conducting a targeted crackdown on sexually transmitted diseases, street prostitution, and fatherhood in Tokyo. It's reasonable and legal."

Kai followed beside him like a little fangirl; although she didn't understand, she thought Li Xinghe was very handsome. (The last two lines appear to be random characters and are left untranslated.)

Arresting homeless minors all over the streets is nothing but a mess for an elected government and does no good for politicians.
