Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

From beginning to end, it took less than 40 years.

Li Xinghe, sporting shoulder-length short hair from July, mocked:

"So what if it's broken? Who can punish me for it? Vance has been bragging about his two aircraft carriers for years, but he can't even fix his own ships."

Over the past 30 years, the U.S. military has not only stagnated but has also gradually fallen behind Asian countries in the most critical missile technology.

The days when the US military could defeat a country simply by setting up a few aircraft carriers on its doorstep are over.

Even sub-Saharan African countries are now going against the United States, using Russian anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down US aircraft. The US military not only cannot defeat these countries, but is forced to evade and bypass them.

Everything proves that the U.S. military has lost its deterrent military capability globally.

This is particularly evident in the conflict between Ukraine and the Houthi rebels.

Even the Houthi rebels can launch missiles daily to drive away US forces, and US aircraft carriers are avoiding Chinese carrier strike groups, practically turning themselves into an existentialist fleet. Unless the US military can immediately develop a hypersonic ballistic missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers and achieve a devastating strike against the Houthis, Russia, and other countries, all regional hegemons will no longer give the US much face.

When will the old order collapse?

Gao Tiao Wuyue wanted to know about Li Xinghe's current mental state.

Li Xinghe pondered:

"The dollar is about to depreciate drastically. This year, the world under the dollar system will finally shed blood for the arrival of a new order at the last moment when the old order, which is no longer sustainable, collapses."

The only reason people are still willing to remain within the US system and bear the consequences of its economic turmoil is because it remains profitable. However, if the dollar were to depreciate voluntarily in 27 years to create room for debt, only to suffer a second major depreciation in 30 years, then the very reason for the dollar system's existence would cease to exist.

The US dollar can no longer serve as the world's reserve currency.

Then everyone should find their own way out.

"So what's your view on continuing cooperation with China?" Takajo Satsuki asked, making an unnecessary probing question.

What she didn't expect was that the guy next to her was actually her real superior in Japan.

Li Xinghe couldn't help but laugh and quickly picked up a five-nut mooncake:

"Sweetie, have one more bite."

For the sake of her communist cause, Gao Tiao Wuyue pouted and ate another bite of the five-nut mooncake, and it didn't taste so bad anymore.

Then she discovered that all she had in front of her was five-nut filling, while the new flavors were all with her two younger sisters.

"Hey! Why am I the only one eating the five-nut mooncake?"

"They're still young."

Who knew that September would seriously refute it:

"Not small at all, my older sister is the youngest!"

Gao Tiao Wuyue, her brows furrowed in anger, jumped up and shouted:

"You've all gone too far! It seems I, Gao Tiao Wuyue, must establish my position in the family!"

With a scream, Takajo Satsuki was lifted up in a princess carry by her younger sister, Nanatsuki.

Then I was forced to eat more five-nut mooncakes. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

……

While Li Xinghe was forcing poor little Wuyue to eat a five-nut mooncake, the United States was deeply mired in chaos.

The city of Santiago has changed hands.

The National Guard, weak and lacking in the will to fight, was easily defeated.

This allowed the First Army to calmly control the streets and issue a joint statement to the entire United States, declaring that they were merely returning travelers and harbored no hostility.

But how could the Democrats let them off the hook?

The Party's propaganda department spared no effort in hyping this up in major newspapers:

"Mutinous troops are harassing the port and seizing the city!"

“The remnants of the First Army, brainwashed by the CCP, will create endless chaos in the United States.”

In short, the main point is the same: to eliminate the legitimacy of the First Army's existence.

Although the Democratic Party identifies itself as a left-wing party, a significant portion of its members are actually white men with blue skin from the judicial and prosecutorial systems across the country. These men, acting as local tyrants in their respective states and counties, infiltrate the Democratic Party under the guise of democracy and progress.

These legal tyrants from various places have long since mastered the art of manipulating American law. Their control over the judiciary, schools, and media hegemony allows them to encircle and attack this group—which was defeated in Taiwan, re-trained by the Chinese, and then sent back to the United States—from multiple dimensions, including culture, justice, and crime. There are simply too many places they can attack.

Faced with such a barrage of public criticism, the Pentagon is struggling to cope, and the White House is speechless.

"The Pentagon has not yet fully investigated the facts..."

The reporters pressed further:

When will Australia be rescued?

"Are you aware that the Japanese fleet is approaching Sydney and Melbourne?"

"China's dual-carrier strike group is docked in Cambodia, causing tension in Singapore. What is the reason for this...?"

Endless problems plague the White House and the Pentagon. As the center of American executive and military power, Vance is obsessed with his technological imperial rituals and is gradually neglecting his duties. The Pentagon, meanwhile, is indulging in cutting various shipbuilding plans from the previous year's administration and replacing them with its own so-called "New All-Round Ship Program" and "New 300-Ship Program," merely reinventing the wheel.

Amid this chaos, the Zhenhai air battleship group, accompanied by several destroyers and supply ships, approached the heart of Australia from the east coast.

He Yang shouted gloatingly:

"Initiate artillery attacks in the direction of Australia."

Then, amidst the panic of Sydney residents feeling as if they were being killed, they fired live ammunition 12 kilometers away from Sydney Harbour. The deterrent power of the 510mm cannon was unparalleled, and tens of thousands of Australian citizens were terrified in a single day, fleeing in all directions in their cars.

The Australian government cried out in despair, like a wild dog with its tail cut off:

"This is a ultimatum to Australia!"

Australian residents only then realized where all that military spending they receive each year goes.

Australia's annual military spending is $620 billion, a figure comparable to its father country, Great Britain, and on par with Japan and South Korea.

However, compared to its father, the United Kingdom, which has 119 generals (more than tanks), two aircraft carriers sharing one hull, and only two of its six missile destroyers are operational, the Australian military's wastefulness is arguably even greater.

With such a massive annual military expenditure, they only maintain 6 troops. In contrast, Japan, with the same expenditure, can maintain 23 Self-Defense Forces, and South Korea can maintain 56 ROK troops. Not to mention that the Japanese and ROK militaries still maintain a large amount of second-line, inexpensive equipment to enhance their combat self-sufficiency.

Not only are the number of soldiers extremely small, but the Australian army is essentially a small harem for American arms dealers. They haul in all sorts of expensive aircraft and tanks, yet few scrutinize the exorbitant prices and the enormous total expenditure that sustains a very weak force. Li Xinghe could easily find a heavily armed combined arms brigade and a Type 055 destroyer and crush the Australian army on the beach.

Therefore, in terms of wasting resources, the Australian army is even more shameful than the British and American armies.

At least Britain and the United States can still manage to build aircraft carriers, while the Australian patrol boats are still at the level of World War II machine guns.

After firing a few shots in Sydney, the Zhenhai warship sailed south to Melbourne and conducted live-fire exercises in the waters off Melbourne, terrifying Australian residents with its cannon fire.

This is so humiliating!

The Australian military was powerless to do anything about it.

Australian residents are constantly urging the government to resolve the issue quickly, but they are powerless to stop it.

The hull of the HMS Zhenhai is tough enough that none of Australia's missiles can penetrate it. It also has a large stockpile of anti-aircraft missiles, with 80 Type 12 anti-aircraft missiles in 120 slots, specifically designed to target F-35 fighters that dare to approach it.

As the saying goes, three Type 055 destroyers can wipe out the entire Australian military.

Now it's an aircraft battleship, which has left the Australian military dizzy and confused. Missiles can't penetrate it, planes dare not get close, coastal defense guns are practically useless, and the army can't even catch up with it when it moves along the coastal road. The tank tracks are worn out, and the tanks are stuck on the coast of Brisbane, calling for help to repair the ship.

If the Zhenhai warship were to circle Australia, it could exhaust most of the Australian military's mobile armored vehicles.

After three laps, the Australian troops will probably be no different from exhausted stray dogs.

For this reason, the Australian government has no interest in thinking about next year's election.

Let's first think about whether Australia can survive until Friday.

In a television program broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation tracking the Zhenhai's movements, they were forced to quote a famous saying by General Peng Dehuai to incite anti-yellow peril sentiment in white-majority countries, and also as a form of self-deprecation:

"The era has arrived where East Asian countries can force us to surrender simply by setting up a cannon and a giant warship at the doorstep of our white nation!"

Chapter 845: The New Treaty of Nanjing, Winning Over Australia (5900 words)

2030 9 Month 14 Day.

The aircraft carrier battleship Koryo sailed south from the west coast of Australia, patrolling along the way with the roar of its cannons.

Off the coast of Perth, artillery shells once landed 3 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline, vividly illustrating why countries later extended their territorial sea baselines to 12, 30, or even 200 nautical miles. This is because the range of artillery and missiles has increased significantly.

The terrifying roar of the 510mm naval guns caused endless panic and fear in every area it entered, and shattered the Australians' ideal of 'American invincible soldiers'.

The Americans don't care about them at all.

All the media outlets in Australia were begging for mercy, and only then did the global media matrix controlled by Britain and the United States slowly begin to report on the conflict between Japan and Australia over the withdrawal of troops.

In response to the nationwide panic in Australia, the Zhenhai and Gaoli warships issued notices demanding a response from the Australian government.

"We demand that Australia respond to the Darwin military issue and the official incidents of racial discrimination and exclusion against Asians!"

This question, however, left the white people confused.

In Li Xinghe's hands, this matter, which started as a conflict over troop withdrawal, turned into a topic of racial discrimination and genocide.

Indeed, Australia is a country with a strong racist gene in the white world of Europe and America, and the atrocities committed against children are still fresh in everyone's memory. Given Israel's continued persecution of Palestinians, once the topic of white genocide against Asians is raised, with the joint support of media from China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea, the baseline of the justice of this conflict begins to waver in international public opinion.

Australia attempted genocide against Asians, and Li Xinghe's troops rushed to the rescue; they were heroes.

Unfortunately, because of the racial unrest that did occur in Darwin, the coalition forces stationed there had a lot of photographic evidence, which they posted all over the world.

The Australian cabinet had to hold a meeting on this matter.

Prime Minister Albanese was deeply moved:

"Damn it. The Americans just fled Taiwan, and these Japanese can't wait to head south and invade our land. We're clearly allies."

As the most peripheral garrison in the Western world, Australia and Japan were once allies who could station troops under the leadership of the United States.

Right-leaning Special Minister of State Don Farrell criticized the Labour leader's foolishness:

"No, we're just dubious allies, like Britain and France, and have you forgotten how this all started? Are you trying to insult yourself?"

Australia instigated this incident. Following the US withdrawal from East Asia, Australia wanted to sever its military alliance with Japan, which led to today's shelling around the continent. Then Australia discovered that Li Xinghe's troops, once on the mainland, had no intention of leaving and were even planning to smash their skulls.

Just like how they treated Australian Aboriginal people in the past.

Deputy party leader Huang Yingxian kept quiet with his tail between his legs.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers proposed:

Is it too late to blame China now?

They're just shifting the blame.

But Cabinet Secretary Mark de Vries raised another objection:

"Of course there's still time. That freak's father is Chinese. And all of this was caused by the Chinese. Actually, I don't think this army is Japanese, because it's common knowledge that Japan doesn't have an army. These monsters driving warships and firing cannons are soldiers that the little freak recruited from his Chinese relatives."

Interior Secretary Claire O'Neill shrugged:

"Saying this won't work. It will only give more laughs to Chinese people on Xiaohongshu."

The controversy surrounding Xiaohongshu arose from the relentless dissemination of rumors by Australian politicians and news media during the 2022, 2025, and 2028 elections. These rumors claimed that Australian international students on Xiaohongshu were the main force behind political misinformation, fabricating numerous political rumors in an attempt to incite anti-China sentiment. However, it's clear to anyone with common sense that if sharing daily life and Australian experiences is considered spreading rumors, it's hard to imagine how different Australians' idealized selves are from their reality.

Of course, most Australians can't tell the difference; they just repeat what the government says: "Ah, Chinese. Ah, spies."

So what to do?

We had no choice but to talk.

The Australian Parliament extended an invitation to the coalition forces to negotiate peace.

……

The sea southeast of Sydney.

On the Zhenhai battleship.

He Yang and several staff officers are planning an operation to partition Australian territory.

He Yang said:

"Our goal is to gain control of the Northern Territory, including Darwin. We may not be able to do it in name, but we must get it in reality."

Australia's continental planning is very crude, given that the country has a total population of only 2700 million, so it is divided into six states and two territories.

Darwin is located in Australia's Northern Territory, which has the smallest population among the six states and two territories. In this vast land of 142 million square kilometers, which is as large as Xinjiang in terms of rainforest, grassland and desert, there are only 24 people.

Yes, only 24 people live on this vast land of 142 million square kilometers. There are only three major towns in the entire region, and 30% of the population are Aboriginal people living on vast, uninhabited reserves.
