Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

However, this AR sight combat plan seems much more realistic than the electronic sight that supposedly allows you to "kill a Japanese soldier with a single shot from 800 meters away." Combined with the new helmet, it will be quite useful, at least in close-quarters indoor combat, riot control by special police, and multi-dimensional warfare.

As for the rifles, even using American-made rifles wouldn't be a big problem. It was only because of the issue of unified supply and command that the decision was made to replace them all.

"And the price?"

Li Xinghe asked the most crucial question.

The arms industry representative said awkwardly:

"Rifle...15 yen...scope...20 yen..."

That's 35 yen for a gun, which is about 1.2 yuan.

Li Xinghe's blood pressure rose again.

He angrily asked Representative Feng:

"Tell me, what did you design?"

"We...designed the shape of the new rifle and combat helmet!"

Upon closer inspection, it appears that Howa Arms Industry had simply changed its label. This suggests that the main design work was actually carried out by the Chinese arms industry, perhaps simply dumping their technological reserves for researching new rifles and combat techniques onto Li Xinghe. And Howa Arms Industry, unsurprisingly, leveraged Japan's military supply chain to inflate prices to a level that Li Xinghe disliked.

But it's not unacceptable, after all, the US military's MX7 rifle with an electronic sight starts at $7000.

But perhaps just to show off, the representative from Fenghe Arms Industry even pulled out the labels on the guns and boasted about them:

"This is a brand new label! It uses a special overlay labeling technology, so when the coalition forces receive the weapons, nothing will need to be changed. When the Japanese Self-Defense Forces receive the weapons, they can simply use nail clippers to scrape off the coalition forces' names, revealing the Self-Defense Forces' insignia underneath."

Li Xinghe clenched his fists, wanting to punch someone.

Sigh, just have to be patient.

Who can blame them when this lousy company is the only one in Japan that specializes in supplying arms?

"Here's the order, let's get production started."

Gao Tiao Wuyue gestured to Fenghe Arms Industry to get out of there, or Li Xinghe would kill them.

Fortunately, the representatives from Mitsubishi and other companies did not disappoint Li Xinghe in the following situations:

"The modified version of the Type 16 wheeled vehicle is out."

This is the kind of weaponry that can prevent Li Xinghe from having such high blood pressure.

As the only decent weapon the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have produced in recent years, the Type 16 wheeled assault rifle, while of good quality, also has many shortcomings.

Therefore, this facelift has made many changes.

For example, it has been equipped with more advanced electronic warfare equipment, including electronic observation, artillery reconnaissance drones, panoramic sights, and the Internet of Things.

And the most advanced automatic loading machine!

Finally, it's no longer the 'Blackman' (black manual) loading system.

The extra personnel space was used to modify and add more weaponry, giving this wheeled assault vehicle a reserve of vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft missiles and vehicle-mounted suicide drones. The external armor was also upgraded to withstand 20-30mm autocannon fire without significantly increasing weight.

Seeing how disliked Howa Arms Industry was, the Mitsubishi representative briefly said:

"Unfortunately, in order to improve its armament, there are significant restrictions on the height and weight of the drivers; hopefully, they won't be too tall or too fat..."

Li Xinghe climbed up, glanced at the commander's position, turned around and picked up Gao Tiao Wuyue, placing her in the commander's position of the wheeled vehicle.

A 1.48-meter-tall girl couldn't even reach the height of the panoramic surround view device when she sat inside, while a soldier who looked to be about 1.65 meters tall would fit perfectly.

Li Xinghe gave the Mitsubishi representative a thumbs up:

"It's not a big problem."

"Ugh! How awful!"

Enraged, Gao Tiao Wuyue jumped up and punched Li Xinghe in the knee.

……

In the afternoon, Li Xinghe arrived at the Qingshan Command Headquarters.

“It’s true what they say, a new generation replaces the old. Our dear husband was out playing with underage girls on Christmas.” Ayman and a few other women pretended to cry, leaving Li Xinghe completely bewildered.

He didn't do anything bad at Christmas, and the little queen hasn't entered the stable period yet.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Li Xinghe patted their bottoms, telling them to stop fooling around.

The international situation has changed drastically.

After Christmas, the New Year holiday is actually over for Christian countries.

At this time, as the dollar plummeted and the flood of dollars dragged their economies and the euro into a deep abyss, various European and American countries began to be very angry about the Canadian issue.

Not only did Vance forcibly annex Canada, but he also wanted to start a G7 to force Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy to recognize the merger of the US and Canada? Ironically, one of the G7 countries is Canada!

At this moment, all countries are truly feeling like they have a mouthful of blood stuck in their throats.

This level of shamelessness is comparable to that of the European Union itself.

The EU Foreign Affairs Committee tearfully complained to reporters:

"Europe has absorbed at least trillions of dollars of money flowing in from the United States!"

She looks just like a bullied young wife.

While Wall Street has temporarily suffered losses from the dollar's depreciation, the massive depreciation and the resulting flood of dollars from previous interest rate cuts have truly wreaked havoc on Europe. The euro's exchange rate has been continuously pushed up by the influx of dollars, but in reality, it's being besieged by the dollar on all sides. In international trade settlements across the Eurozone, major financial settlement businesses are beginning to be strangled by the dollar. Many companies are increasingly preferring to use cheaper dollars.

In short, the EU has given everything for the US, but it won't budge an inch on Canada's political standing.

At this time, the ruling parties in France and Germany, whether Macron's suppression of the French National Front or the German civil servants' crackdown on the Alternative for Germany (AfD), adopted an increasingly cruel and ruthless approach to the opposition through iron-fisted suppression and judicial persecution, gradually resembling the Franco-German governments of World War II.

This is the direct reason why, in the past decade, right-wing leaders in Germany and France, acting as challengers, have been repeatedly imprisoned. The ruling parties and civil servants in France and Germany are increasingly inclined towards a model of direct judicial suppression, eliminating these right-wing challengers who oppose the United States and the Western alliance.

If elderly Germans and French people from World War I and World War II were to return to Germany and France today, they would probably be astonished: "My God, this is simply a capitalist regime suppressing communism."

In reality, it is the pro-American faction and the pro-American government that are brutally suppressing nativist political factions.

This does not prove that the nativist political faction is correct, because both the French National Front and the German Afd were merely groups of pro-American nativists. The true nativists in Germany and France had by this time been labeled Nazis and were basically happily meeting up in prison, preparing for their enlightenment in Longchang.

Despite their pro-American stance, the EU and the UK, having witnessed the US's easy annexation of Canada, have become international clowns and are unwilling to tarnish their reputations anytime soon. Therefore, they resolutely refuse to recognize Canada's annexation.

Britain, France, and Germany issued a statement simultaneously:

"We do not recognize the United States' annexation of Canada, as this violates the mutual protection clause in the North Atlantic Treaty!"

Anyway, Europe has finally shown some backbone this time... a little bit.

France firmly refuses to recognize the United States' illegal annexation of its ally. Germany, after suffering a severe financial blow from the influx of dollars, has finally become somewhat more sober. The ruling coalition led by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has managed to conceal its core essence as a pro-American party disguised as a patriotic party, and has also given the United States a piece of its mind.

Britain is the main force of online trolls, passionately criticizing the United States.

After all, when Li Xinghe confronted Britain, it didn't involve a change of sovereignty. But Vance's move swallowed up the world's second-largest country—a core member of the Commonwealth!

While sitting down to read the news, Li Xinghe also saw the news that Weidel of the Alternative for Taiwan party was under investigation again:

"Wait, am I seeing things? The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has become the ruling party in Germany, but German civil servants are still suppressing them and sending them to prison?"

Lin Mulan humorously remarked:

"That's right. That's how it is in Germany. Although the Alternative for Germany (AfD) became the ruling party, Alice Weidel did not immediately take the position of Chancellor. They are still busy fighting among themselves, while the old civil servant government of Germany, which has been completely trained by the United States for 80 years, is still dealing with the Nazis in their eyes using methods similar to those of the Nazi government."

This may be the most bizarre scene in the history of world politics.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, as the ruling party, is embroiled in internal strife over who should become chancellor, while the German civil service government they are about to govern continues to relentlessly arrest party members, throwing them into prison or bringing them to court on charges of 'Nazi ideology'.

For the German civil service government, their mission is not to build Germany, but to eradicate Nazism. Given that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been constantly smeared with Nazi accusations and does indeed contain a large number of far-right groups, it is naturally a target that the civil service government must eliminate. As for what would happen if they became the ruling party, that's not a conflict for them.

In a sense, when the ruling party in Germany is unable to take a firm stance, the highest authority of the German civil service is the U.S. European Command, not the German parliament.

"All countries are resisting."

Li Xinghe pondered.

At this moment, Vance was being scolded.

Vance was sprayed in the face with spittle at a NATO emergency summit in Washington and left the venue in a disheveled state.

Suddenly, Vance discovers that his aggressive expansionist policies of the United States are being firmly resisted by the international order that the United States has long shaped.

Furthermore, a large number of Democratic Party figures whom Vance had been pursuing domestically fled to the EU, and many large business owners who opposed Vance also went to the EU. Suddenly, the EU, which had been a dumping ground for the Democratic Party, became a vessel for the party's revival.

With the support of the Democratic Party, no country recognized this massive annexation.

Vance discovered the situation was more complicated than he had imagined. Mei Nene Lin is busy, Lin is busy...

Oh no.

What should we do? They won't acknowledge it.

If Canada's annexation is not recognized by European countries and cannot be approved by the United Nations, it means that Canadian companies and trade will still have to use the old Canadian national flag. This touches a nerve with Vance.

Why did Vance go to such lengths to send troops to annex and then promote himself?

It's all for the sake of promoting their own success, expanding their territory into the United States, and acquiring Canadian resources and tax revenue.

But if Canada still exists legally and continues to use its own name and trade sector, wouldn't that be tantamount to the United States sending troops to occupy Canada and getting nothing in return?

Vance was in a real bind.

Maria handed a piece of intelligence to Li Xinghe.

Intelligence indicates that a large number of democratic parties are active in Europe, and they are even plotting a military coup.

Li Xinghe exclaimed in amazement:

"So it's not that the EU is really fighting against Vance out of a sense of justice and fairness. It's because members of the Democratic Party have come to Europe to form alliances and build up an anti-Vance encirclement network... It's really amazing."

Ayman said definitively:

"That's right. Although both Trump and Vance are cultivating right-wing political forces in Europe to rise to power, Vance's actions of declaring himself emperor and annexing Canada have made these right-wing parties feel threatened with national extinction. They dare not easily express their support for Vance's proposals."

The EU is the EU, and each country is its own country. The Democrats within the EU, using the national names of their respective countries, are barking at Vance from across the Atlantic, and Vance really can't do anything about it.

Who can blame them when they have a loud voice and their reasoning is sound?

Meanwhile, Vance in Washington began sending messages to the Qingshan Command, hoping that Li Xinghe would be the first to recognize the United States' annexation of Canada.

Li Xinghe immediately started shifting the blame:

"I only tacitly acknowledged the US annexation of Canada, but I didn't say I would definitely recognize the US annexation of Canada."

Then, Vance called angrily:

"This isn't what we agreed on! You liar!"

Li Xinghe then declined:

"What? What did you say? Sorry, it's almost Chinese New Year, we're on holiday, please don't contact us outside of work hours, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xinghe smiled and made arrangements:

"Immediately organize civilian anti-American armed forces against Canada."

How to organize it?

"Arms smuggling. There are so many Chinese people in Vancouver, why don't you organize a Chinese-American anti-American armed force, have them stay in Alaska, and remotely supply Canada with large quantities of guns, ammunition, artillery, and drones? Incite a movement to reclaim Canada."

To reiterate, Canada should be America's bloodsucking tank.

Li Xinghe then began writing military orders.

Xu Baofeng, far away in the Bering Strait, received even more radical orders.

He was tasked with leading troops directly to Anchorage, Alaska, to prepare secret military support for the Canadian resistance.

Chapter 888: God is a Darwinist, the Dynamic Equilibrium of Deformity (4500 words)

On the southern coast of the Aleutian Peninsula, a small fleet flying the American flag is slowly moving forward.

"Old Bao, this is Alaska, maybe the very place your ancestor found with the Russian expedition he joined. Aren't you going to say something?"

Xu Baofeng's subordinates pulled him aside, wanting him to express his impressions of Alaska.

"Bullshit! I don't even know who my parents are." Xu Baofeng was already used to everyone's teasing; having grown up in a compound in Northeast China, he was used to it.

They then gradually moved into Cook Bay.

While military enthusiasts around the world often focus on large aircraft carriers and battleships when observing warships, the vessels that most diligently carry out missions are more common, such as destroyers, supply ships, and transport ships. Sometimes, even ordinary civilians may not be able to recognize what their own country's smaller warships look like.

So they arrived in Anchorage without any problems.
