Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

No matter how you look at it, the Indonesian army, with its more than 300,000 troops and numerous missile boats, should be able to hold off Li Xinghe for a long time.

Unfortunately, the Pentagon couldn't provide more military resources, so it could only engage in low-key rhetoric with the Indonesian military government, encouraging them to continue their wrangling with Li Xinghe, since previous military production capacity had been completely consumed by the Yemeni civil war and the Russia-Ukraine war.

At this moment, Vance, as the emperor of the empire with the largest territory and the strongest national power (in his own opinion), was pleased to believe that his old rival had fallen into a trap.

This year, Vance is 46 years old, which can be considered young and promising.

In American politics, this age is considered incredibly valuable.

Trump is only 85 years old, which is well into his prime in American politics. There are many people older than him who are still active in politics. For example, Sanders, who is approaching 90, and a large group of senators who are over 90.

According to a journalist who frequently attends senators' press conferences, it was like a nursing home, filled with living dead people with lividity and reeking of the stench of old age.

His Majesty Vance agreed with the reporters' descriptions, and he also felt that the place was similar to a morgue.

However, His Majesty's good mood was quickly ruined by a warning from Chancellor of the Exchequer, Bessant:

"The government still doesn't have any money."

The rapid depreciation of the dollar suffered from the collapse of its credibility following Vance's inauguration and the massive surge in dollar liquidity that followed. These enormous amounts of dollars went overseas to exploit other countries, causing them distress, but also reduced the amount of dollars available domestically. Ordinary people were left impoverished, unable to generate any wealth, while the wealthy benefited from Trump's tax cuts, paying less tax.

what is it now?

It's truly ridiculous that the first year of His Majesty Vance's reign was the first year of his reign when he couldn't collect any money.

The investigation report submitted by Bessant highlighted the issue of local states intercepting federal tax revenues.

The main problem is that powerful and wealthy states like California, Texas, and Florida resolutely refuse to pay federal taxes. They use various state legislations to circumvent the nearly paralyzed federal tax authorities, creating an image of independent kingdoms.

Naturally, without the strong tax revenue from these wealthy states, subsidies for the various poor states in the Midwest could not be distributed, and local militias seized control of the main local governments. As a result, His Majesty Vance's American Empire was in a situation where his decrees only carried out on the East Coast, and the Emperor's command had little effect on the Western and Southern states.

"Marefak, pay your taxes!"

Having lost a testicle and his ability to father children and have an erection, and amidst the increasingly obese and shrill screams of the emperor, Vance angrily ordered the Pentagon to march on the capitals of those states:

"Tax California!"

"Tax Texas!"

"Tax Florida!"

"Tax all of Canada! Tax tax! Tax tax!"

Chapter 896: Massive Devaluation and Inflation, Even the Trees of Papua Can Talk (5100 words)

"Hasn't the dollar been severely devalued? Why not just print money at full capacity?"

Many government officials have questioned the state of the financial difficulties.

As we all know, the United States has more than 30 million federal and state civil servants, but most of them are under the jurisdiction of the states. These people are in zombie positions that are only kept alive by federal subsidies. Now they are on the verge of not being able to get paid, and they are starting to petition and make a fuss.

No matter if the person above you is an emperor or a president, you still have to pay their salary, right?

At least 40% of the US domestic economy is driven by government spending.

Therefore, when Vance's health improved slightly and he convened the second 2031 budget review meeting, various departments had already begun to pressure him to resign.

The Pentagon generals came demanding money, and this time they even went so far as to ask for an exorbitant amount:

"Please approve a little more budget. Due to the tight military budget, please give us 2 trillion this year."

"2 trillion?"

Even his Vans underwear couldn't hold up and ripped.

The Pentagon's calculation is simple: if the dollar depreciates by half, let's just multiply it by two, that's two trillion.

In reality, devaluation is not simply a matter of multiplying by two. Considering the phenomenal rate of inflation, the Pentagon even felt that these two trillion dollars were less sustainable than the previous one trillion dollars.

"The Miller can't wait any longer. As long as the $2 trillion is approved, we have a way to get the Enterprise launched this year."

The Pentagon is still concealing the truth about why it couldn't launch the Enterprise.

The problem was that some parts suppliers went bankrupt, and others lacked the technology to fix the old problems that existed on the Ford-class ships, which turned shipbuilding into a mystery and a craft.

The mystery lies in the idea of ​​burning incense and praying to God, begging that the ship's parts can function.

The essence of handicrafts lies in the fact that experienced craftsmen need to personally hammer and adjust the system bit by bit to improve its compatibility.

Meanwhile, the Canadian occupation forces in Ottawa sent a report requesting an increase in military spending.

Chief of Staff Grady appears to have made contact with First Army Corps Commander Mad Dog Soltz, and there seems to be a tacit understanding between them to make money together.

If Vanceken approves two trillion dollars, printing more money to make everyone rich, then the Pentagon will agree to deploy regular U.S. troops to launch a tax-collecting campaign against California and Texas.

Not only local power brokers, but also intelligence agencies, represented by Chief Mora, are subtly present among them.

This is a combination of soft and hard tactics.

Your success in turning from president to emperor was entirely guaranteed by the comprehensive cooperation between the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA. Now that the economy is in dire straits, you're not even feeding us properly. If you can't feed us, we'll have to find another way.

"Fine……"

Considering the importance of the military to him, Vance nodded hesitantly.

Meanwhile, Pentagon Chief of Staff Grady suddenly proposed a good solution:

"We can change the name of the Miller to His Majesty Vance!"

This is no longer the era of LGBT; it's time to revert to racism and turn back the clock.

Miller? He was just a brave black cook who resisted the attack on Pearl Harbor. How could he be as noble as His Majesty Vance, who usurped the American Empire?

This flattery was very well done, and Vance immediately nodded in agreement.

He then turned around and warned Bessant, who refused to print money:

"Do you want a bullet to go down your throat tomorrow?"

Under pressure from Vance and threats from military thugs, Finance Minister Bessant was forced to agree to the insane measure of printing money.

Upon returning to the Federal Reserve, Bessant couldn't resist starting to write his resignation letter.

But as he wrote, he couldn't bear to give up his combined fiscal power with that of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, so he sat down to think about how to print money in a clever way.

The dollar, which had just stopped its decline and even slowly recovered to 65% of its pre-depreciation value, suffered another huge blow. The Federal Reserve is about to inject trillions of dollars of liquidity into the market, all of which will be used for government fiscal spending.

Although the news has not yet spread widely, the exchange rate of the US dollar in the market has already plummeted since the contents of the second national budget meeting were made public.

Unintentionally, the drastic fluctuations in exchange rates, after two consecutive major swings, wiped out a large number of remaining industrial sectors that had taken advantage of the dollar's depreciation to start exporting, causing them to go bankrupt completely.

An unprecedented and massive devaluation and inflation, beyond the government's control, is imminent.

Chiang Kai-shek silently gave a thumbs up in the underworld.

……

Tokyo.

In view of the lack of coordination among the various communist parties in Japan, Kannon-taki Aotori, with the support of Li Xinghe, convened a national conference.

"Now, let's convene a joint national congress of all Japanese communist parties. We will discuss our collective platform and make our voices heard."

Guanyinlong Qingniao is unreliable when she's being irresponsible, but she doesn't ramble when she's doing something serious. She really does want to bring these messy Communist Party members together.

Then, the Communist Party began their most routine criticism session.

Don't get me wrong, Li Xinghe definitely won't be the first one to get scolded.

The Communist Party members, enraged, immediately pulled out dozens of drafts and rushed onto the stage, shouting insults:

"Criticize Israel!"

Down with the Israeli wolf!

"Israeli Nazis!"

Anyway, the Eastern world is getting increasingly impatient with the political correctness of Europe and America, and the Japanese Communist Party really did launch terrorist attacks against Israel, so everyone is very happy to criticize them.

Representatives from dozens of Trotskyist, Leninist, Maoist, and anarchist organizations took to the stage to vehemently denounce Israel as a living devil, a hellish force, whose evil cannot be described by any human language. No adjective could adequately express their indignation.

After speaking for 16 hours straight, the last member of the An faction from the Overlord Society roared:

"I wish I could use every single shell in the world to turn Israel to ashes!"

This lengthy critique of Israel has now come to an end.

Of course, some people have also pointed out: "Our Prime Minister Chiyo Machiyo should be criticized. He rejected and expelled the extreme ideas of a certain faction, and advocated the republican line of the Greater China Federation. He was obviously heading towards chauvinistic imperialism. This is wrong and should be corrected."

Everyone looked at each other awkwardly.

To be honest, due to the ravages of imperialism and the objective reason of the existence of the Emperor, the various factions of the Japanese Communist Party were basically unable to be absorbed into social production and gradually disappeared. The Japanese Communist Party became an officially conservative opposition party.

They are only able to emerge from their underground nests and operate openly now thanks to Li Xinghe's protection. Their acts of smashing pots and cursing had already greatly displeased Li Xinghe and Guanyinlong Qingniao during the previous few instances of small groups causing trouble.

If they cause trouble for Li Xinghe at an official conference, they can expect to be sent to Alaska to mine.

Someone quickly changed the subject:

"Let's criticize Israel again."

Finally, Guanyin Takizaki couldn't hold back any longer; she stepped forward to take control of the rhythm:

"We must also criticize Indonesia's colonial imperialism!"

Although his ideas are not entirely appropriate, to be fair, Li Xinghe's approach has been well-aligned in opposing Israel, Indonesian colonialism, and Indian colonialism.

So after some mediation, the basic integration of the various factions of the Japanese Communist Party was finally completed, preventing them from making a rash fuss against Li Xinghe.

Incidentally, this conference also produced a consensus article:

"A joint statement from all Japanese communist parties criticizing the atrocities of Israeli and Indonesian colonialism"

Israel, thousands of miles away, never expected to be criticized for something like this.

The Japanese Communist Party not only criticized them, but also organized young communists to go to Papua Island to participate in the national liberation war against chauvinistic imperialism.

Higashikawa Yukami brought this news to the Cabinet Office.

Looking at the note handed to him by Higashikawa Yukami, Li Xinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sigh. At least this time they didn't cause me any trouble."

"Tch, I should overthrow my mother and lock her and Nan Jiaduo in a small dungeon to punish these two underground female communists severely." Dongchuan Xue Shi was probably frustrated at home again, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Li Xinghe shrugged; the punishment had already been given.

……

Indonesia.

It's somewhat unfair to put Indonesia and Israel side by side. After all, the era when Indonesia killed millions is long gone, while Israel is currently taking action.

Li Xinghe's reluctance to deploy his core troops to the Papuan Islands has given the Indonesian military hope for localized confrontation.

Therefore, they dispatched 60,000 mobile troops to land at the port of Nabire in northwestern Papua, intending to divide their forces into two groups to wipe out the Papuan National Liberation Organization and the white volunteer army from the north and south.

Unfortunately, they encountered heavy artillery fire as soon as they landed.

PLO guerrillas drove K9 self-propelled guns and fired at the port from the nearby rainforest.

The 155mm and 52-caliber heavy artillery roared across the position, firing dozens of shells in rapid succession towards the makeshift ferry crossing at Nabile port. Many Javanese soldiers still submerged in the water were killed by the shockwaves, while other boats capsized and military supplies burned.

Having finally landed, the enemy before them seemed like tree-men lurking in the forest.

Once they get close to the rainforest, they will be ambushed by talking trees.

They ran out of the woods and could only stay in a small area by the sea, where they were bombarded by the enemy.

That's right, this wave was the Vietnamese People's Army that Li Xinghe brought from South Vietnam. They made full use of their old skills of fighting in the rainforest and taught the PLO how to fight island guerrilla warfare against the Indonesian mobile forces.

"No, no, no..."

The landing force was in a dilemma; the small, old two-lane road was not enough to transport 60,000 troops in different directions.

When they tried to turn back, they found that the sea behind them had been blocked by two Allied light ships, the Ryujo and the Hosho.

"We're trapped..."

They urgently requested assistance from Jakarta.

Wait a minute, isn't island warfare supposed to be one of the Indonesian military's strengths? Why are we facing such difficulties on our own soil, as if we were in enemy-occupied territory?

Elsewhere on Papua Island, in the original villages and tribes, a coalition version of national reforms is underway.

The grassroots governance personnel dispatched by Li Xinghe to these places were all from Japan and South Korea. With strange expressions on their faces, they enthusiastically and kindly organized the Papuan people of various ethnic groups, who were at the level of primitive tribes, to start building churches, expanding roads, and establishing settlements.
