Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

However, after leaving the White House, Salz held Vance in even greater contempt:

"Haha, he really thinks he's the emperor..."

Regardless of what those involved thought, Vance's plan to become emperor was indeed progressing steadily. His backers invested hundreds of billions of dollars in propaganda, and following the coronation ceremony designed by Li Xinghe, they constructed temples representing Native American beliefs in the south and north of Washington, D.C., respectively, and a sacred cathedral on the base of a Mayan pyramid representing Christians. They used God to represent Heaven and Native American temples to represent Earth, forming a system of power bestowed between Heaven and Earth.

This large city with only a few hundred thousand residents was about to become the capital of the First American Empire in the name of George Washington, the first president of the United States.

Chapter 868: Vance's Young Wife is Fourteen Years Old, and the Seven Stars of the Cross Bring the Gospel (4700 words)

North Washington, D.C.

In the forested mountains beside Rock Creek, a wealthy neighborhood in Washington, D.C., the Rock Creek Golf Course, used by the wealthy, was suddenly occupied by an Army engineering team. They then began piling up large stone blocks to design and construct a massive pyramid structure, 33 meters high, with six layers of massive stones, 91 steps on each side, and a total of 365 layers including the top. Furthermore, the top level of the Mayan pyramid was intentionally left spacious, as a Christian church was to be built on top.

The wealthy people in Yanxi were stunned.

Do you understand that this golf course is private property?

However, the wealthy individuals had barely uttered a few complaints when they were immediately arrested by the Department of Homeland Security and thrown into prison to reflect on their intelligence.

Daring to confront President Vance, this guy is no ordinary rich person; we have to crack down hard. The NSA doesn't care what you do, just arrest him and torture him first.

Residents near Forest Hill were kept awake all night by army engineering vehicles and had to flee the neighborhood to find out what was going on.

Then they learned that Rock Creek Golf Course had been requisitioned for national construction to build a large Christian church in the style of Native Americans. The reason was simply that the site was located on 16th Avenue, north of the White House, at the northern end of the White House's central axis.

And speaking of this central axis, that's an even more hilarious joke.

Li Xinghe evaluated Washington's design concept and provided Vance with a design plan for the 'Washington Cross Seven Star Building'.

The traditional design of Washington, D.C.'s urban core is centered around the Washington Monument, with the White House to the north, the Capitol to the east, the Jefferson Memorial to the south, and the Lincoln Memorial to the west, forming a typical cross shape. This is the design proposed by an American architect.

But that's only five stars. To imitate Wu Zetian's seven-day central axis architecture in Luoyang and realize the characteristics of imperial power, two more should be added: a Mayan cathedral representing heaven and a Mayan temple representing earth.

Therefore, a Mayan cathedral was forcibly built on the northern end of 16th Avenue, the central axis of the White House.

What about the southern end?

The Jefferson Memorial occupies the southern end of this central axis, located on Potomac Island. This island is long and narrow, and this is the only suitable spot at its southern end. You can't exactly demolish the Jefferson Memorial, or even the viaduct further south, can you?

Even the engineer in charge of construction was stunned when he saw the blueprints: "Mei ne mei lin xiang ni kong ni lin zai zai mei ne..."

"We can't just tear down the Jefferson Memorial, can we?"

This is a historical figure who, in fact, created the basic political model of the United States.

Vance's answer was interesting.

He said, "Anyway, the Mayan temple can be built smaller, just up to the entrance of the Jefferson Memorial."

Vance proposed building a small Mayan temple on the open space in front of the Jefferson Memorial to enclose it, and that would solve everything.

Anyway, Jefferson couldn't possibly come back to life and cause trouble for Vance.

In addition, the expansion of the White House is also underway. The Federal Reserve and Federal Affairs Buildings on the left and right sides will be connected together, and the Oval Lawn will be modified to create a grand palace.

Don't ask whether the distances are symmetrical or not. By adding a point to the north and south, a total of seven points are formed, creating an inverted long cross-shaped national core building complex. For Americans, who have historically lacked traditional culture, this is one of the few royal building complexes that they can understand and find quite mysterious.

Especially for the Silicon Valley tech right-wing billionaires who are extremely wealthy but whose spiritual civilization is still at a low level, such a coronation ceremony looks both luxurious and culturally profound, which is pleasing.

Meanwhile, Vance and his friends were also planning the flag, coat of arms, and system of titles for their new empire, so that they could assign corresponding political status to each of his patrons, awarding them British-style noble titles, medals, and fiefdoms. Americans loved this kind of thing.

After all the preparations, the problem is back to square one.

My wife ran away.

“I know my wife ran away, but so what?” Vance said unhappily in the room.

However, Mark Burns, the president's personal religious advisor sitting opposite him, strongly advised: "A significant portion of your current support comes from evangelicals. They may not stop you from being crowned, but they are certainly very dissatisfied with your current marital status."

The Bible doesn't specify what a monarch should do, but in the eyes of traditional evangelicals, Christians should have wives. It would be ridiculous for a monarch who rules a country to not have a wife.

Therefore, Vance still needs to find a queen.

Moreover, in order to win over Southern evangelicals, this queen must be a white Christian woman from an evangelical background who identifies as a woman, and preferably is.

After a simple search, Mark Burns named the person he recommended:

"What about Billy Graham? He was a spiritual advisor to multiple presidents and had a great reputation throughout the American evangelical community. His grandson, Will Graham's daughter, Christine Jane Graham, is 30 years old this year, just right to be a saint."

Billy Graham is arguably one of the most well-known figures in American evangelicals. His pioneering model of large-scale evangelical meetings influenced later evangelical propaganda methods and laid the foundation for the comprehensive expansion of evangelicalism. Even the most charlatan-like figures who later preached on television had to call him their patriarch.

The evangelical movement in the United States is not a single denomination, but rather a broad group of evangelical churches, including the Southern Baptist Convention, Methodists, and Revivalists. Therefore, Billy Graham appears to be a highly respected and widely accepted figure in the propaganda field.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Billy Graham had five children, 21 grandchildren, and 45 great-grandchildren. As a typical example of evangelical families, almost every member of his family had more than two children. Therefore, there were many people to choose from.

"The only problem is ideology..."

Vance waved his hand, believing himself to be extremely magnanimous:

“Ideology is not an issue. Our pursuit is technological advancement. Why not use some small favors to win over these mindless evangelical believers?”

The United States has always been somewhat obsessed with ideology.

The United States even organized the Evangelical Crusade in the Far East.

Incidentally, Billy Graham's youngest son, Nelson Graham, spent his entire life in the Far East, particularly in China, engaging in evangelical missionary work. The global evangelical organization he founded, also known as the World Evangelical Crusade, served as a tool for their ideological crusade across the globe. Furthermore, it aligned perfectly with the neoconservatism promoted by the US government, which originated from Trotskyism, forming a global propaganda network for the United States.

But there was one thing that Vance was not satisfied with.

Thirty years old is too old, and it's almost impossible for her to still be, as it doesn't conform to the tradition of a chaste saint.

He raised the following question:

"How about virginity at an even younger age?"

Burns, the consultant, was in a very difficult position:

"Smaller ones are easier to find...but virgins are a bit too difficult, after all, um..."

Although Southern evangelicals advocate chastity and families are very conservative, in reality, Americans' daily behavior is often quite similar; the difference lies only in their views on it.

For example, many devout evangelical believers had sex with male church members when they were young. The difference is that they repent and feel ashamed for it, while urban residents would turn their backsides into midnight predators looking for sex. Another example is that the southern evangelical areas are a hotbed of inbreeding, with stories of siblings giving birth to idiots piling up.

Therefore, finding an absolutely chaste saint is indeed quite difficult. After all, if a rural woman in the Southern Evangelicals has never slept with her brother or had sex with her lover, she is most likely under high school age.

However, Vance really looked down on women over 30, so he insisted that the Billy Graham family provide a young girl.

Mark Burns was forced to go out and hold secret talks with the Billy Graham family.

An hour later, Burns returned, excitedly telling Vance:

“I’ve got it. Billy Graham’s other great-granddaughter, Austin Billy Graham. She’s 14 years old and just graduated from a Christian junior high school. She certainly has no history of dating or having sex; she’s a pure and chaste saint. But the problem is, she’s too young.”

Upon hearing that he was only 14 years old, Vance clapped his hands with a broad smile:

"So what if she's 14? That bastard Li Xinghe is clinging to a 15-year-old queen who just graduated from junior high school."

Seeing Vance's extreme hatred for Li Xinghe, Burns could only go along with it.

"And it got her pregnant for the first time."

Vance stood up excitedly and paced back and forth:

"Yes, that bastard got a 15-year-old British royal who had just graduated from junior high school pregnant. If he had even a shred of shame, he wouldn't be so shameless."

Another consultant mentioned:

"But he prepared the world's most luxurious coronation ceremony for this queen, with the most expensive crown and pearl-jeweled royal robes. Even the British royal family is eyeing these treasures."

The more he talked, the more envious he became, to the point of gritting his teeth in envy.

Everyone hates Li Xinghe so much. That bastard amassed hundreds of billions of dollars in a single year, which he squandered on war effortlessly. Meanwhile, the massive United States, with trillions in funding, can't even mobilize a few divisions and aircraft carriers.

This can't be interpreted as the direction of capital flow being the direction of civilization flow, can it?

In any case, the church, the palace, the ceremony, the queen, and the saint were all there.

Vance glanced at the calendar and said resolutely:

"Never mind, tell Billy Graham's son, Franklin Graham, that I wish to marry his granddaughter, Austen Jane Billy Graham."

Advisor Mark Burns reluctantly agreed to act as a mediator.

He couldn't understand why anyone would be so bored as to compare whether their newlywed wife was a little girl.

Does Vance lack confidence so much when facing Li Xinghe?

But it really is true. This is a personal flaw in Vance's character. Living in a blended family where his mother remarried multiple times, he lacks self-confidence and security, and desperately needs to compete to gain some advantage, otherwise he cannot maintain his already insufficient self-confidence. For example, his distinctive eyeliner and beard.

In the competition between himself and Li Xinghe, Vance at least managed to find a slight advantage for himself.

When news of Vance's marriage to Billy Graham's daughter spread, America was in an uproar once again.

This is child marriage, you son of a bitch!

But the people had no choice.

Prior to this, the Billy Graham family, Mark Burns, and the Southern Baptist Convention had already begun their sanctification propaganda, describing Usa's escape as "the villain revealing his true colors," and praising Austin Jane, who had just graduated from junior high school, as someone who dreamt of the Virgin Mary pointing at Vance and saying, "I have chosen him for you," claiming she was the incarnation of the Virgin Mary in this world.

Amid a series of religious propaganda efforts, evangelical churches expanded rapidly and received substantial financial donations. Believers were delighted, believing that although Vance had committed many sins, it was not too late for him to repent.

Of course, evangelicals were overjoyed, while the other 100 million Americans felt like they had been having a nightmare for six months.

Urban residents, Blue State residents, and intellectuals vehemently condemned Vance's outrageous behavior.

The Saturday Night Live (SNL) talk show, for which Vance wrote the script:

Father Vansby is slightly better.

"Where's the good?"

"At least he took a heterosexual stance when he sexually assaulted the young boy and did not harm him."

……

When news of Vance's impending marriage to a 14-year-old girl spread, cultural figures around the world were stunned.

No, buddy?

What are you doing?

We all turned off the lights!

From a behavioral psychology perspective, Vance's move also seems to be aimed at breaking with old political ideas and testing the level of public obedience.

Tokyo.

Inside the royal palace, Li Xinghe sat in Queen Charlotte's room, instructing the young queen on the current political situation:

"Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad. With the current political system in the United States, the dollar is on the verge of collapse, and the United States is about to enter the countdown to becoming the world's superpower."

In response to this situation, Queen Charlotte pouted and offered the kind of idiotic political opinion often found among white Europeans:

"I bet the Democrats will stop him. Obama will stop him too."

Li Xinghe offered a humorous comment on this:

"Saudi Arabia's pork consumption is by no means zero."

Although Saudi Arabia is an extreme Muslim country adhering to Wahhabism fundamentalism, it wasn't entirely Muslim itself while assisting the United States in exporting large amounts of extreme Islamism to the vicinity of the Soviet Union and China. Saudis like to buy pork from neighboring Bahrain on weekends, which they call 'veal'.

Saudi border officials, however, would only confiscate the pork if they found it, but would deport them for carrying alcohol. In extreme cases, some people even wrapped pork and bacon in condoms and stuffed them into their anuses in an attempt to smuggle it into Saudi Arabia. Israel once detained a Saudi prince, accusing him of smuggling 3000 kilograms of pork into Israel.

Of course, there is another negative example: two Muslims were suspected of smuggling beef and were burned alive by Hindus.

"What do you mean?"

Queen Charlotte didn't understand.

At this moment, Duchess Olympia, who was standing to the side, explained the Queen's question:

"There is no absolute impossibility in this world. Rather, people's perception of people and things often does not match reality. Although Obama is known to all as the last president who could unite all Americans, he also has a side that is not well known."

“I… Hmph, I’ll bet on whether Obama will oppose Vance.” Princess Charlotte, a 15-year-old pregnant woman, challenged two exceptionally intelligent young people.

Li Xinghe shrugged, indicating his agreement.

Duchess Olympia sighed, feeling that Her Majesty the Queen needed to be taught a lesson.

Soon, new news came from the United States:

"Obama demanded that Democratic National Committee Chairman Martin step down because he could no longer lead the Democratic Party to achieve its demand for unity against Vance's attempt to become emperor."

It seems to be against Vance.

But dissolving the Democratic National Committee at this critical moment would be tantamount to paralyzing the core of the entire Democratic Party.
