"A new international order based on strength is taking shape. Countries lacking combat capability must admit that the protection afforded by the United States is a thing of the past. Without Li Xinghe's security protection and China's economic support, no one can claim to be safe."

The international community has also begun to reflect deeply on this issue.

Why was it that Li Xinghe could harass Australia so much by sending just two ironclad warships that Australia was forced to sign a humiliating treaty and hand over 30% of its annual military budget as tribute? (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial question.)

It was clearly because Australia's military technology was insufficient to stop Li Xinghe.

To date, no country has developed heavy missiles specifically designed to target ironclad battleships. This naturally provides Li Xinghe with a perfect opportunity to stir up trouble. Furthermore, no country has objected to Li Xinghe dispatching his powerful army.

China remains silent.

The US had nothing to say.

Amid the major trend of competition between China and the United States, the heyday of regional hegemons is reviving.

Australia's manufacturing sector is practically nonexistent, and its shipbuilding industry is entirely dependent on others. Its domestically built submarines are completely incapable of combat and sink on their own if they get excited.

Li Xinghe can mobilize the resources of industrialized nations to equip them with superior steel plates with incredible yield strength, capable of withstanding high-explosive warheads with 500-kilogram warheads and resisting almost all American missiles. He can also mobilize experienced research institutes to help develop the ammunition feed mechanism for the largest naval guns and to design the internal layout of the ships.

These are things that Australia does not have.

So, faced with two massive enemy ships, the Australian forces wore out the tracks of their M1A2 tanks, but could only watch helplessly as the sea and sky receded. Their F-35 fighter squadrons not only couldn't catch up, but also lacked independent combat capabilities. Once they got close, they were locked onto by the coalition's advanced radar and faced the constant risk of being shot down by anti-aircraft missiles.

What about the two financial superpowers, the US and the UK?

Industry is mathematics; if you can't make it, you can't make it.

Isn't this exactly the situation the Qing army faced when confronting the giant warships and cannons of foreigners 180 years ago?

Australia is a country rich in raw materials, much like the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Of course, once white pride was shattered, social order was severely disrupted.

Gao Tiao Wuyue ran over and told Li Xinghe:

"The Australian government is on the verge of collapse, and there's localized social unrest, not to mention New Zealand."

"what?"

Li Xinghe wasn't surprised by the former; those naive Australians still harbored many illusions about their status. He simply hadn't expected that New Zealand, usually so rational, would also get involved.

Takajo May read the news aloud:

"The New Zealand government has declared that it does not recognize the terms of the Treaty of Canberra and believes that our military presence in Darwin is tantamount to an invasion of the countries of the Southern Pacific."

The political climate in New Zealand is somewhat opposite to that in Australia. While the more pragmatic Labour Party came to power in Australia, it lost power in New Zealand, replaced by a new coalition government led by the pro-American Republican Party. This new coalition government is still a red-light combination, comprising the pro-capitalist laissez-faire National Party, the New Zealand First Party which opposes immigration and capital, and the New Zealand ACT Party, which strongly supports free markets.

It's hard to imagine a three-party government, one supporting a complete lifting of restrictions, one supporting restrictions on immigration and capital, and one demanding tax cuts to loosen the reins on large corporations, sitting down together without fighting.

Compared to previous governments that were more rational and cautious, the current New Zealand government seems more like a makeshift operation.

Li Xinghe believes that such a person who sticks out must be dealt with severely:

"Don't trouble two masters with one matter. Have He Yang block the waterway in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, and demand that the New Zealand Prime Minister explain his racially discriminatory remarks in diplomatic terms. We believe that New Zealand may be facing an anti-immigrant humanitarian crisis unless it joins an alliance of countries including Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand to jointly adjust tariffs, industrial policies, immigration restrictions, and military security. After dealing with New Zealand, go back and deal with the protesters in Australia."

Regarding this bizarre new military alliance, Li Xinghe simply stated:

"Let's call it Jkan. It's the first letter of the four countries."

Chicken looking?

It doesn't sound very elegant.

The order was transmitted to Australian waters.

He Yang's hand gestures were like cleavers:

"We have new orders. We're to go to Wellington, New Zealand, to make an example of them."

Slaughter a chicken from New Zealand, and give the white people of Australia a little psychological shock.

If white Australians do not stop the riots, then the coalition forces will have no choice but to land.

Chapter 848: The Humiliation of a Virgin, and the Suggestion to Offer Up the Princess (4700 words)

In September, an unexpected sandstorm from Mongolia swept in, carrying with it icy winds from the frozen plains, drawing criticism from Japan and South Korea.

Japanese media have now learned to accurately report the facts of 'Mongolia's ecological collapse,' while South Koreans are more inclined to 'go to Mongolia to seek revenge by soliciting prostitutes.'

The international community is also full of criticism.

Everyone is criticizing Li Xinghe.

Despite the criticism, local tyrants are also eager to join this wave.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Professor Katayama Mizuo read the latest international situation to Li Xinghe:

"The border conflict between Russia and Ukraine has started again. Russian and Ukrainian troops exchanged thousands of shots across a forest, injuring two people."

"A standoff broke out between Cambodia and Thailand near their undetermined border, resulting in three people being shot and wounded."

"Türkiye probably thought it was invincible again and went to provoke the Greeks, but its air force made a fool of itself and lost a plane... Was this written in May?"

All of the above belong to the queues that have broken away from the conflict after testing the waters.

In the Caucasus region, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia again, attempting to seize a mountainous area of ​​approximately tens of square kilometers to continue their advance towards Türkiye and their ambitious goal of linking up with Türkiye.

"A bunch of penniless bastards."

Li Xinghe's evaluation.

Compared to the East, regional conflicts in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus appear rather meager and unprofitable. Each conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia costs billions of dollars in military expenditures, yet the profits are far less than the war expenses. But they still have to fight; without fighting, there is no future.

Li Xinghe could kick Australia across the ocean and unleash hundreds of billions of dollars in gold coins, while all the conflicting countries mentioned above, even if squeezed dry, could not immediately produce more than 10 billion dollars and 142 million square kilometers of land resources.

It can only be said that these small countries in East Asia, especially Australia which occupies a continent and New Zealand which is isolated overseas, enjoy the peaceful order created by the United States in East Asia. They hide behind the shield of Japan, South Korea and China and North Korea, and the United States is abusing the peaceful benefits brought by the order to enrich themselves, to the point that they have forgotten their own strength and status.

The United States raised these two lumps of fat meat so well that they didn't even have time to slaughter them themselves, and Li Xinghe seized the opportunity to bite them.

Higashikawa Yukami came in carrying a bunch of intelligence on the anti-Li organization and said to Li Xinghe:

"Rie Fuji is already sleeping in your legendary little delivery room. Should you tell her you've been having some troubles lately?"

Li Xinghe could only sigh:

"Don't cause her any trouble. Let Mom take care of her."

Higashikawa Yukami rubbed his forehead:

"Isn't the international pressure a bit intense? These past few days, media outlets from Europe, America, France, and Germany have been attacking us like a storm."

Li Xinghe shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not worried about that:

"The international diplomatic pressure is indeed quite significant. But they're just all talk; they don't even dare to criticize me at the United Nations. They're not worth mentioning. My only concern is whether the United States will wake up before November."

The political pressure exerted on Li Xinghe by the international community is not as strong as the Israeli genocide.

Netanyahu could hold back for over twenty years, so why should Li Xinghe fear their public pressure?

Takajo Satsuki came in carrying a large bag of documents, but asked:

"I still don't understand why New Zealand would provoke us into this."

No one could understand it.

Why has the current New Zealand government provoked Li Xinghe?

This introduces additional variables into the entire process.

The reason was actually quite bizarre: they felt that Li Xinghe was short of troops and wouldn't bother going to Wellington to deal with them for no reason.

New Zealand's political landscape is highly volatile, with dissatisfied citizens constantly demanding the resignation and dissolution of the current government. Public support remains low, so the New Zealand National Party government wants to boost its tough image by relying on foreign invasion.

The Australian Labor government had thought the same way before, which is why they were attacked by Li Xinghe. When New Zealand saw the situation in Australia, they made the exact same choice as the Australian government.

They argued that New Zealand, being isolated overseas, was unlikely to be attacked.

New Zealand has always maintained a narrative that resonates with both itself and the outside world: "New Zealand is a country where war will never happen, a pristine paradise."

This strange traditional mindset meant that no one in New Zealand's political circles realized that if Li Xinghe's ship fired a missile in Australia, it could send New Zealanders into air-raid shelters.

Therefore, when He Yang and the First Joint Army and the Naval Assault Brigade approached New Zealand aboard two battleships, New Zealand had not yet made any response.

What's the situation in New Zealand right now?

The staff officers replied:

"Just like in the United States. Inflation, high housing prices, intense conflict between big capitalists and the public, and government dysfunction. Populist right and establishment left are locked in a struggle."

Australia and New Zealand have a relationship with the United States that is almost like a carbon copy. After all, the multinational capital here is mostly Anglo-American.

It might be a bit inaccurate to say that New Zealand residents are turning right, but it's true that public anger in New Zealand is growing.

Because the entire country's economy is supported by farms, real estate, and tourism, regardless of which government is elected or which party forms the government, they will always be the spokespeople for American multinational corporations, large ranchers, and real estate companies. As a result, major manufactured goods are exported, infrastructure is in a terrible state despite the sparse population, housing prices keep rising, and the number of immigrants from across the country has surged to the point of social explosion.

Therefore, New Zealand's social contradictions are quite complex. Despite its sparse population, Auckland's median house price of over a million New Zealand dollars is driving many young people to flee to Australia (only to find the same thing there). Political parties come to power by relying on tax cuts and welfare programs for the lazy, resulting in the same outcome every nine years. With 17% Maori and 15% Asian in the society, there are undercurrents of conflict between new immigrants and white immigrants.

He Yang was very satisfied with this situation:

“Very good. Release more conflict information and stir up civil unrest. We will take this opportunity to enter Wellington.”

First, create a public opinion conflict, then launch a surprise attack.

This is already standard procedure.

Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, is located on the north side of the North Island. In order to alleviate population pressure and regulate political order, the political capital was moved to Wellington, the southernmost city on the North Island.

When the unexpected cyber conflict arrived as expected, two giant battleships brazenly intruded into New Zealand waters.

The intrusion happened, and New Zealand didn't even react.

The New Zealand government did not realize it had been invaded until two battleships entered the strait.

Then the New Zealanders watched helplessly as two massive battleships rammed the tugboat that stood frozen in front of them and plunged into Evans Bay, the capital of Wellington.

The New Zealand soldiers and police on the shore were dumbfounded and at a loss.

Fun fact: The New Zealand Defence Force has only 9000 personnel. The entire navy is stationed in Devon Harbour near Auckland on the North Island and will not be deployed south to defend the capital.

The New Zealand Air Force's combat capability is even more pitiful, with only a few trainer aircraft and helicopters as defense tools, which are actually used for emergency rescue and have little combat capability.

Another little-known fact is that the New Zealand Army has only 4000 personnel, roughly divided into two brigade-level combat groups. The army lacks heavy firepower; its strongest weaponry consists of 24 105mm howitzers. (The remaining text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

So when the missile, whose origin was unknown, was intercepted, the naval assault brigade disembarked, calmly boarded armored vehicles, and stormed the New Zealand Parliament's Hive building. The members of the New Zealand Parliament had no time to resist and were all arrested.

They left Wellington with an air of nonchalance, as if they were in their own backyard, infuriating the New Zealanders.

Are you here for a spring outing?

At least fire a shot.

Once on board, the New Zealand cabinet was terrified and dared not even sit down.

He Yang and his group chuckled maliciously as they looked at the New Zealand cabinet members they had arrested:

"Thank you for your warm hospitality."

"Forehead……"

"The New Zealanders' resistance to us was probably weaker than the way we broke through the membrane of a New Zealand girl."

Simply put, although you resisted, we did not feel that we were being resisted by the New Zealand army.

This is the greatest humiliation.

It is also the ultimate indifference.

They presented the New Zealanders with the same treaty:

"The Wellington Agreement, with the same terms as the Canberra Treaty, stipulates 30% of the annual military procurement budget, security guidance from us, and inclusion in the Aukus framework. You can see for yourselves. We are too lazy to fight wars all over the world, and we don't ask you to cede territory under our jurisdiction, lift immigration restrictions, or open the military port of Wellington, New Zealand to us."

The timid and fearful New Zealand cabinet looked at the peace treaty, still wanting to offer a feeble resistance:

"Immigration restrictions..."

He Yang easily offered a compromise:

"How about we only ask for immigration rights to the sparsely populated South Island, for 20 Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and North Koreans each year?"

New Zealand has a disproportionately large population. The North Island, though smaller, has 400 million people, while the South Island, though larger, has only 100 million residents.

In South Korea, many young people are forced to work at sea; North Korea is poor, so there are many young people available for sea labor. New Zealand and Australia have farms that can accommodate far too many people. So why not allocate immigration quotas to the sparsely populated South Island?

American multinational corporations have no say in their infrastructure projects aimed at accommodating a larger population.

The New Zealand cabinet is in a state of panic.
