Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

And so, peace was restored in the North.

The negotiators from all three parties met in the Imperial City of Hue.

Hu Zhantian, who came on behalf of the Allied Forces, said with a smile:

"Ho Chi Minh City has been renamed Saigon. We hope you will change the name accordingly."

Saigon is the name commonly used by Chinese people; the name was established by the French.

Then, the coalition forces handed over various terms that Vietnam had no choice but to accept.

The treaty stipulated that the Vietnamese authorities recognized the semi-independent autonomous status of the Southern Bureau and would not interfere with or seek to change the status quo. The Vietnamese army was reduced to about 100,000 men. North Vietnam accepted the assistance of the Guangxi Military Region, and although it did not directly send troops, it wielded considerable influence. South Vietnam thus became the Southeast Asian headquarters of the Allied Forces, which planned to station over 100,000 troops there to deter the Indochina Peninsula.

Because Vietnam's finances will be greatly affected, the CPTPP Clearing Bank will provide the Vietnamese government with billions of dollars in aid annually after entering North and South Vietnam. However, this aid is not free; the North Vietnamese government must abide by various agreements, amend anti-China restrictions, recognize sovereignty over islands, resume teaching Chinese characters, allow the activities of the NGOs under the UN coalition, and modify many policies to suit South Vietnam.

The Vietnamese representative hoped that China would speak, but the Chinese side remained silent.

Thus, the negotiations, which appeared to be a one-against-one conflict but were in reality a two-against-one conflict, ended with a resounding victory for the coalition forces.

When Hu Zhantian signed the document, he even joked with a smile:

“I think it’s fair to call it the Treaty of Hue, but we are all people who grew up in socialism, so it’s better not to call it that. Let’s just call it the Declaration of Unconditional Armistice at Hue. You can also omit the secret treaty part and just announce our unconditional armistice to the outside world, and that’s it.”

Vietnam is divided into three regions: the northern part centered on the Red River Delta, the central part resembling chopsticks, and the southern part resembling a loaf of bread, like a chopstick with a steamed bun stuck on either side. If a high-speed railway could be built in the middle, connecting the north and south economic arteries, Vietnam's economy could very well take off. Even if it doesn't reach the level of South Korea, it could still become a small power in Southeast Asia.

But that's no longer the case.

The north was shrouded in silence, having lost its vast tax base, grain-producing areas, industrial zones, and port areas. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed near Hanoi, serving as a mere burden.

After the South shed the North and retained all tax revenue, it seems poised to leverage its combined advantages in grain, industry, and port to develop Ho Chi Minh City into a future jewel of Southeast Asia.

The Vietnamese people's accidental determination to resist brought them a devastating fate.

This decisive move severed Vietnam's future potential, effectively breaking its very foundation.

Emerging from the negotiation site, the Vietnamese looked utterly dejected, knowing their country's fate was like that of a broken-backed dog, with nowhere to hide.

The representatives of the coalition forces and the Chinese representative shook hands without saying a word.

It was a pleasure working with you.

Although Vietnam is divided in two, it is still under its own control.

In this major war, a large number of coalition officers who have actually participated in modern three-dimensional warfare will soon be transferred back to their home countries for experience exchange and sharing, and new supplementary officers and soldiers will also come to the coalition forces to provide replenishment as various 'retirements' occur.

That's when funny situations like this will occur.

The officers here participated in the joint forces' thrashing of the Vietnamese army. They then changed into military uniforms and went back to China to exchange systematic combat experience. When the Vietnamese officers who were sent to learn from them arrived, they were shocked to find that the same officer who had attacked them was also the one who had taught them.

……

The international community was bewildered by the brief Vietnam War.

Yes, I feel lost and helpless.

The Gulf War was resolved in just 100 hours of ground operations after a long period of air attacks.

Li Xinghe acted even faster than during the Gulf War, forcing Vietnam to acknowledge the status quo and admit defeat in less than 72 hours.

The war between Russia and Ukraine next door has been going on for several years, bringing the war situation back to the level of World War I, and at one point the whole world mistakenly believed that the US military, which had once been invincible, had disappeared.

While the East Asian region appears to have enjoyed long-term peace, it actually maintains a high level of multi-dimensional warfare capabilities comparable to those of the Gulf War.

Li Xinghe redefined the new landscape of world military power through the Vietnam War.

This left even the Russians speechless at the combination of Li Xinghe's intensive shuttle bombing and the doctrine of firepower superiority.

Medvedev was at a loss for words and grumbled on social media: "I was just giving a number off the cuff, and it really was resolved in three days."

International media, instead of excessively publicizing Li Xinghe to maintain the deceptive cocoon of self-proclaimed power in the Western world, began to report on him in a low-key manner.

"Vietnam has yielded."

"Within three days, half the country collapsed."

“The South Vietnamese local government was established, but in reality, it was almost another South Korean government under Lee Sung-ha’s control.”

The United States neither confirmed nor denied this.

After all, it was Vietnam that got beaten this time.

The White House, on the contrary, greatly admired Li Xinghe's combat abilities.

Lockheed Martin was furious. In their intelligence report for the operation, they discovered a bizarre modified aircraft that they had never built before: the F-35CN.

The Lockheed Martin representative was furious: "Damn it, last time they modified our F-15EX and didn't even give us the blueprints. What kind of weird modification is this F-35CN? No way, we have to get our researchers in! Let them copy the blueprints!"

Boeing, the neighboring company, also chimed in: "We also want to copy the blueprints; our F-47 project hasn't made any progress yet!"

Li Xinghe responded:

"Make them get out."

……

Seeing the devastation in Vietnam, where 150,000 troops were wiped out in an instant, Singapore was finally unable to resist and returned to the negotiating table.

They dispatched their Foreign Minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, an American elite of Tamil and Chinese descent, to the garrison in Ho Chi Minh City, entering the headquarters of the South Vietnamese forces of the Allied Forces. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

Upon seeing the representative lead the delegation in, Zhang Xiaoqian and He Yang sat down together.

Park Yu-sin from North Korea was the first to ask a question:

Does urine taste good?

The Singaporean representatives were taken aback.

He Yang then reminded Park Yoo-shin from the side:

"No, urine is clean water after sewage treatment. But Singapore's sewage treatment plants have been destroyed by shelling. So you should ask, does urine taste good?"

Singapore is truly out of water; the entire city is experiencing a water shortage, and many impoverished elderly people are being forced to drink urine to survive.

The fragility of modern cities is starkly apparent.

Vivian scratched his head awkwardly:

"Um... it doesn't taste good. But that's precisely why we hope to get back together and resolve this unfounded conflict."

The generals of the coalition forces were laughing so hard they almost lost their teeth.

The Singapore representative's speech was quite funny.

In order to slap Singapore, the coalition forces went to Vietnam to make an example of them. However, Vietnam's resistance was stronger than expected, so they had to use all their strength to defeat Vietnam in one fell swoop, spending billions of dollars in military expenses, including most of the military expenses they had earned from Australia this year. Now you're just throwing your nose at us and saying you want to go back to the way things were before?

Zhang Xiaoqian's face remained icy, and he went straight to the point:

"Since the establishment of the United Nations system after World War II, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China have been coordinating the dismantling of the system, leading more and more small countries that should not exist to mistakenly believe that their current status is earned by themselves. However, they do not realize that before the establishment of a new world order, such small countries are no longer needed."

Vivian's expression was stiff:

"what?"

The coalition's attitude was very complete and resolute.

Singapore is no longer needed.

Chapter 863: Singapore Special Autonomous Region, Asia Dollar Grand Plan (5000 words)

The city center of Ho Chi Minh City, or more accurately Saigon, features numerous luxurious skyscrapers.

The headquarters of the Allied Forces was located near the former General Staff Headquarters in Block 9 of the Furun District, controlling an entire block.

As Vietnam's economic center with housing prices approaching those of China's first-tier cities, Saigon's economy recovered very quickly. Even as Nguyen Thanh Nghi organized the Southern Bureau and began investing and constructing projects with funding from Li Xinghe, the daily commutes of this motorcycle city with over seven million motorcycles continued unabated.

However, the motorcycles on the main street, the commercial area of ​​the embankment street, and even the various hidden red-light districts, as well as all kinds of people and things, have undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Chinese language training courses are hiring teachers and students!"

"Don't ask anymore, it's hopeless. They're much more sought after now."

"By next year, the South Vietnamese authorities plan to add 35 Chinese language teachers. It is said that they are now going to China to recruit recent college graduates to become Chinese language teachers, and their salaries are three to five times that of ordinary workers. It's really enviable."

The shopkeepers on the street muttered amongst themselves, unspokenly avoiding any mention of their national grievances in their language, discussing the changing economy and political situation. "Mei ne wo wo Mei Mei kong ni Lin zai zai me ne..."

Upstairs in the building, amidst the beeping of motorcycles outside the window, several staff officers silently closed the window and drew the curtains.

"They should really ban motorcycles."

"Ho Chi Minh City must undergo massive demolition and reconstruction, widening roads, banning motorcycles, and increasing public transportation and subway systems..."

The staff officers spoke in hushed tones about what had happened in cities like Guangdong and Nanning in China.

Inside the room, the Singaporean negotiators remained silent, while Hu Zhantian read from his prepared script:

"Our previous negotiation proposals demanded that Singapore accept the CPTPP clearing bank, quickly change its current political stance, open Changi Harbour to the coalition forces as a military base, and restore Chinese language teaching and related content on Chinese history education..."

This was a very lenient cooperation agreement at the time, and no one expected it would cost billions of dollars to fight a war to establish our authority.

“Agreed, agreed, very much agreed.” Vivian nodded repeatedly.

Singapore, of course, agrees.

In retrospect, this condition was far more than acceptable. The only problem was the Singaporean government's strong aversion to the CPTPP clearing bank's demand to switch to a non-US dollar settlement route, which ultimately led to the current predicament.

It wasn't just the crisis of thirst and starvation due to water, electricity, and food shortages, but also the rapid deterioration of the geopolitical situation. The Malaysian government, across the sea, was making moves, attempting through private communications to demand that Singapore become a vassal state of Malaysia.

If Singapore doesn't resolve its issues quickly, the regional anger it's stirring up will be difficult to quell. For example, Vietnam is undoubtedly harboring resentment, and Malaysia also wants to tear it apart. At that point, it won't be a coalition besieging the city, but rather a brawl involving Southeast Asian nations.

However, the Singapore government thought it could hide its predicament, but in reality, the coalition forces already knew through inside intelligence that Malaysia had assembled four divisions around Singapore.

So Hu Zhantian snapped the original manuscript to pieces.

He laughed and asked:

"It's hilarious. If Singapore wants to maintain its independent status, then think about the anger of the Vietnamese people, and what Malaysia will do in the process. You should all know very well that after causing this mess, the neighboring countries will not easily allow you to pass through without any consequences. How can you sleep soundly without our aircraft carriers and battleships docked at Changi Port?"

Singapore instigated everyone to oppose it, and now Vietnam has been punched in two, and Malaysia, Brunei, and other countries are facing retaliation. Meanwhile, Singapore has been left unscathed after the negotiations. How can things be so easy?

"This……"

"Therefore, there will be no more Republic of Singapore. The Lee family will no longer be allowed to continue their authoritarian politics in Singapore with the People's Action Party. The Lee family must completely and absolutely withdraw from power and get out of Singapore."

The idea that Singapore must perish is no longer just the opinion of Li Xinghe and the Allied Forces, but a shared, bloodshot intent among Southeast Asian nations.

Even if Li Xinghe doesn't deal with Singapore, Malaysia will continue to cut off its water, electricity, and maids, slapping Singapore hard several times to extract huge sums of compensation, or even invading its sovereignty.

Therefore, Hu Zhantian, representing the Allied Forces Headquarters, directly issued an ultimatum.

Singapore must surrender completely and unconditionally.

The government must be dissolved, all existing government documents must be handed over, and the original political forces must be eliminated.

Vivian himself is of Tamil and Chinese descent. He wiped the sweat from his brow and tried to make a final stand:

"However, considering the multicultural factors of Southeast Asia, there are other ethnic groups on the island..."

Hu Zhantian slammed his fist on the table and announced:

“Allow Malay and Indian immigrants in Singapore who are not influenced by Han culture to leave. If they have somewhere to go, they can go on their own and communicate with the Malaysian or Indian governments. But before they leave, they must cut up their citizen identity cards and passports. Make sure they can never come back.”

The birth rate among Singapore's Chinese population has always been low, while the number of Malays and Indians in the country is not small. The Singaporean government has adopted an interesting dual-balancing strategy. It continues to introduce Chinese to maintain the Chinese population at 70%, while also ensuring that the Malay and Indian populations remain relatively stable. At the same time, it often relegates Malays and Indians to a nominal but powerless position.

They play this game because, in the unique political environment of Southeast Asia, the Chinese, as the marginalized capitalists, must show some degree of compromise and reduce their perceived threat. Li Xinghe, however, doesn't need to play this game. Malays and Indians all have to get out.

Considering the local cultural integration and mixed-race issues, those who have already integrated into the Chinese community can be retained. However, for those Malay and Indian immigrants who cannot speak Chinese, do not have Chinese names, and whose economic status and cultural understanding are completely unrelated to the Chinese-speaking world, Li Xinghe can take advantage of the siege to drive them away and cut up their identity cards.

In addition, the issue of name changes in Singapore is also involved:

"Singapore, this is the phonetic spelling of the Sanskrit word. In the future, it should be renamed according to the common Chinese name and the standard Chinese characters, called the Xingzhou Special Administrative Region. In terms of administrative level, it is equivalent to a provincial level. In name, sovereignty should belong to all countries and peoples under the Greater China Federation, including the residents of Xingzhou."

Although the so-called Super Federation of China has not yet been signed, Japan and South Korea have gradually come to realize what kind of new world Li Xinghe is trying to create as he continues to expand his influence.

Singapore is about to become the first de facto administrative region of this non-existent federation.

Vivian and the other negotiators looked ashen-faced.

Hu Zhantian turned around and lay back in his chair, tilting his chin towards them:

"If Singapore still refuses to surrender, we will withdraw the fleet besieging Singapore and open the way for Malaysian troops to enter Singapore. Do you dare to accept?"

The Malaysian government has long coveted Singapore's prosperous economy, and right-wing groups have repeatedly incited aggressive slogans, making an attack on Singapore inevitable. In terms of the aggressiveness of Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia are like three wolves in a ditch, exhibiting the same vile behavior despite differences in culture and religion.

"Please give us some time..."

“You have two days to consider this. In addition, you must immediately expedite the departure of non-Chinese ethnic groups. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of the agreement.”
