Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Therefore, Vance followed Li Xinghe's policy.

Didn't Lee Sung-ha pull out former prime ministers from Japan and South Korea, either as advisors or to serve as prime ministers of colonial powers?

Then Vance is also an option.

Vance brought out the amazing Obama:

"I will appoint former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, as Prime Minister of the Empire."

Obama walked out with a refined and courteous demeanor, like the wise prime minister beside the fat pig king in One Thousand and One Nights.

He spoke to the camera with deep emotion:

"Residents of America, thank you very much for your support. In view of the current political and economic turmoil, I have decided to temporarily accept Emperor Vance's invitation to organize government affairs. At this time, let us put aside our past prejudices and join hands to overcome the difficulties together."

Obama is quite clever. Although he promotes happy education, he himself is a typical product of elite education.

He knew about the problems the US faced in 2008, as well as the problems it encountered in 2012 and 2016. The problem, however, lay in Obama's lack of a decisive, all-or-nothing approach and the willingness to offend certain political forces. Therefore, while his policies might seem correct, they often went awry during implementation. Ultimately, he could see the problems, but could only superficially address their surface, not their core essence.

But isn't this a perfect fit for Vans?

Vance also sees many social problems. He is also a pure high-class elite, but like Obama, he also lacks the determination and powerful background to burn his bridges.

Now the two of them have joined forces to act as patchers, determined to make America's turbulent political and national situation look glamorous. Whether the core issues are truly rotten is another matter, but at the very least, they want to rebuild America's global media hegemony and make themselves look good.

The idea of ​​awarding medals and recognizing the assets of prominent Canadian political families was suggested by Obama and Bannon, one on his left and the other on his right.

Looking at the television, Enola's family all expressed their disdain:

"Wow, Obama... the dark-skinned magician has finally revealed his ever-changing nature."

This is, of course, a derogatory term.

From the public's perspective, Obama's return to power was a betrayal of all Democrats and an insult to many who had previously supported him, such as the Kennedy family.

But Obama did it anyway.

He divorced his girlfriend Michelle, dumped her, and remarried the blonde beauty he had loved since he was young. He can organize cabinet meetings in the White House and go golfing in luxury cars, showing his true colors as a black man with a white heart.

The second news item is also political:

"Second piece of news: 'Red Ratmen Communists' have appeared in the sewers of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. They use the five-star red flag and the fifty-star red flag, respectively representing their ideological origins and the flag for their future nation-building. The government will impose severe sanctions on the Ratmen and further prohibit the spread of communist ideology..."

"Ratmen" is a derogatory term used by the Imperial government to refer to these communists who lurk in the underground sewers.

These underground bastards have really gone against the imperial government. Not only are they sabotaging city police stations everywhere, but they are also gradually forming an underground smuggling system, making it very difficult for the police to deal with them.

During the conversation, the mother asked Lin Mulan:

"When are you and your Chinese husband going to have a child? I heard he already has quite a few. Listen up, child, a family without children cannot be happy."

Lin Mulan touched her belly and felt that it was indeed time for her to have a baby.

A family without children is unstable. The Maleki family also needs to have many children.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Mulan walked to the door and saw an old woman with a square head coming to visit:

"Chief Mora, wow. Please come in."

Lin Mulan extended an invitation.

But Chief Mora waved his hand and declined, saying, "Let's talk at the door."

Having become the interim Director of Intelligence, and having control over the CIA as well as more than a dozen intelligence agencies such as the FBI, NSA, and CIS, Chief Mora can now be considered the true orc chieftain, the real Warboss.

In other words, Obama's return to power and the control of public opinion were all orchestrated by Chief Mollah, preventing Obama from being overthrown by the Democrats simply because he had defected.

she says:

"The intelligence agencies, not just me, but also the FBI and a dozen or so other intelligence agencies, all believe it's time to attack Mexico, deploy more troops south, and wear down the damn Pentagon's forces. I hope to cooperate with you to obtain sufficient weapons supplies."

The Pentagon doesn't want to move south.

But for the intelligence agencies, they hated the presence of the U.S. military even more. It was time for them to die.

Lin Mulan leaned against the doorframe and asked in a low voice:

"Of course we can cooperate. But the problem is, we have conflicts everywhere: Subic Bay base in the Philippines, the USS Kennedy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Alaska, Hawaii, Pacific islands."

These issues must be addressed.

Chief Mora avoided these questions:

"To correct one point, it is the United States and Japan that have conflicts. We do not. We are the shadow of humanity; we are one, and we can continue to cooperate."

Of course, she didn't avoid all of them, but answered them all:

"I support the future Obama and the current Vance. Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific are all open to discussion. We can't control the military bases in the Philippines, but we can talk about them after the Pentagon collapses."

Intelligence agencies believed that Obama, as prime minister, held immense political and economic power and would soon be able to control the country's political situation from within.

Once they figure out how to deal with Vance and Trump, these two like-minded political leaders of the Maga movement, a rational, complex, and multi-dimensional old United States government will be rebuilt.

Lin Mulan thought for a moment and said she would tell Li Xinghe.

Chief Mora then turned and left.

That night, while the ratmen emerged from their burrows to carry out explosive attacks, Lin Mulan was secretly contacting Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe referred to his approach to the intelligence system as:

"Tch, an excessive reliance on intelligence agencies, and the desire to fulfill Hoover's illusory ultimate dream."

But he also agreed:

"Let's agree for now. Let Obama drive this out-of-control wrecked car a little longer; we still need some time."

Lin Mulan then proposed:

Aren't you afraid Obama will lose control?

Li Xinghe laughed heartily:

"Haha, Vance will notice this even sooner than we do."

Politicians understand politicians best, and emperors understand emperors best. Li Xinghe knew that Vance would definitely guard against Obama's actual control of power.

Time, everyone needs time now.

Vance needs to consolidate the overflowing dollar, the occupied Canada, and adjust the timing of American politics and economics.

Li Xinghe needs to integrate the Pacific and Southeast Asia, expand industrialization, and seize the time to exploit Europeans' gold coins.

The older generation is relatively stable; they are currently busy protecting employment and finding jobs for young people. However, it has been very difficult for young people to find good jobs recently, so going to Japan or heading south to Southeast Asia to develop their careers, taking advantage of the war and the independence movements of various island nations, has become a new option for young people to go overseas.

The thought of Vance and Trump battling it out while Obama stands to the left and right seems rather peculiar.

Li Xinghe clenched his fist:

"That's so interesting."

Meanwhile, sitting at her desk reading a left-wing newspaper, May Takajo exclaimed in even greater surprise:

"Wow, a transnational underground anti-war workers' movement has been exposed in France. The world is one step closer to the Lostbelt."

Chapter 903: The Republic of Lanfang, the Direction of Civilization (5200 words)

The next morning, Lin Mulan drove her cousin's seventh-hand Corolla to Langley's headquarters.

After a series of complex political deals, Li Xinghe, representing the Qingshan Command, reached a secret cooperation agreement with the US intelligence agencies. More than a dozen intelligence departments unanimously agreed to assist in concealing Li Xinghe's military operations and to submit false intelligence to the US government, in return for Li Xinghe's support for the politicization of the intelligence agencies.

"Therefore, we have reached a cooperation agreement."

Lin Mulan shakes hands with Chief Mora.

What she was really thinking was that, finally, after acquiring the Red Communist ratmen, the United States had also acquired the cunning orcs lurking in the shadows.

After all, Chieftain Mora looks far too much like the stereotypical orc.

After completing the cooperation and confirming that Obama remained the intelligence community's top choice, Lin Mulan had to head to the airport immediately to fly back to Tokyo. In these chaotic times, she didn't even want to risk coming to New York; the thought of running into some lunatic would be disastrous.

After returning home, Lin Mulan's cousin firmly stated:

“I just sold my house, and now I’m going to sell my car so I can go to China with you.”

After all, her mortgage was about to be overdue, her car loan was already overdue, and with fixed monthly expenses exceeding $8000, working 80 hours a week was not enough to cover the bills, so she had to run around with her sister.

Lin Mulan reminded her:

"Japan. I'm in Japan right now." (You, Linlin, miss me, but I'm busy...)

My cousin nodded very firmly:

"I know, it's the kind of China that likes anime characters."

Lin Mulan shrugged, giving up on further arguing about the shortcomings of American geography education.

She patted the car and asked:

"Your seven-times-handed Corolla? How much is it worth now?"

My cousin counted on her fingers:

“Um, it’s an 11-year-old Corolla. I bought it for $40,000 in 2029, and before I bought it, before Trump went crazy and started imposing tariffs everywhere in 2025, it was only worth $20,000. Before the 2020 pandemic, it was only worth $3000-$7000.”

Lin Mulan asked:

How many are you planning to sell now?

"$7. This isn't the border, unlike California, Texas, Florida, or Canada, where you can smuggle cheaper cars across the border. And even if you could, the price would be much higher after dealers add taxes."

"Huh?" Lin Mulan was still stunned by America's absurdity.

A Corolla that is nearly 30 years old has seen its value balloon from $7 at age 20 to $7 at age 30, just as it was about to turn 30. The ups and downs of the past 10 years have left Lin Mulan feeling as if she were in a dream.

The fact that used cars can appreciate in value as they age is a ridiculous and shameful thing for an industrialized country.

Back in Tokyo, Lin Mulan would usually send cars in this condition to a scrapyard.

Of course, Lin Mulan also had to thank this bizarre tariff and import policy. Li Xinghe was able to maintain the crumbling shipbuilding and automobile industries of Japan and South Korea thanks to the huge North American market. Large quantities of smuggled cars entered the country duty-free, driving prices down to pre-existing exchange rate levels.

My cousin still doesn't understand:

What are you trying to say?

"It's nothing. If you come and live with me in Tokyo, $7 is enough for you to buy a luxury car. You can choose any good car from joint ventures like BYD Toyota, SAIC Nissan, GAC Honda, Geely Subaru, or JAC Mazda."

"So... what suggestions do you have?"

"Suggestion? Hmm... Don't buy a Mazda, it gets stuck in traffic."

Lin Mulan solemnly uttered a joke that only Chinese people would understand.

Then they boarded a plane and returned to Tokyo.

Unlike in the past, more people are now going to Tokyo and fewer are returning to New York.

As some have said, the direction of population movement is the direction of civilization.

As the world gradually descends into chaos, the flow of people to the most stable regions of East Asia becomes increasingly unique. From the United States, Canada, and Mexico to Latin America, from Iran and Turkey to Armenia and the Balkan countries, and even to Italy, Germany, and the United States, middle-class and even wealthy families with the ability and funds to emigrate are seeking ways to move towards civilization.

To maintain a decent life in New York, you need at least tens of thousands of dollars in daily expenses. But if you take your savings to Tokyo, even with a significant devaluation of the currency, it would be enough to live in Tokyo for six months.

When entering customs, issues related to immigration and business relocation are frequently mentioned in the newspapers.

"150 million Filipino domestic helpers have applied to join the East Asian Community. The government is considering preparing full-time care visas for them."

"Four major German chemical groups are relocating eastward."

"It is said that the number of transnational marriages in China has increased eightfold in recent years, approaching 80 cases per year."

"The marriage scheme of immigrating from China to Singapore and then marrying a Southeast Asian woman is becoming popular. — Hongyuan, your marriage concierge."

"The immigration program that allows people to marry a Japanese woman for five years and then obtain permanent residency is still underway."

In short, as some have said, they are heading towards civilization.

The influx of wealthy middle-class people from overseas into Tokyo was met with resistance from locals. Meanwhile, Li Xinghe's large-scale construction of new towns inadvertently spurred the development of satellite cities. This, of course, also forced some people to move south to Singapore in search of a new life.

……

Washington.

Obama made his first public appearance after transforming from black to white, much like a chameleon.
