Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

But now, after years of border conflicts and bombings, Mexico is more united than ever.

Li Xinghe also made a secret guarantee to Mexico:

"I can help Mexico arm itself and assist you in political restructuring. I will support your factories and provide you with the raw materials and blueprints needed for the war. We have countless supplies to transport to the Americas to ensure you fight until victory."

Mexico naturally had no choice but to respond positively.

They supplied Li Xinghe with 20 tons of gold to purchase a series of blueprints, raw materials, and technical guidance for the production of war weapons, as promised by Li Xinghe.

2031 8 Month 1 Day.

The U.S. military crossed the border and launched a large-scale ground offensive against Mexico.

Several major cities along the Mexican border, such as Tijuana and Mexilica, fell instantly, and Mexico entered a state of war.

The United Nations was powerless to do anything about it and became even more paralyzed. As a result, it had to accelerate its relocation to the Lanfang Republic and rely on China and the Asia-Pacific Community to maintain its existence.

When news of the US military's southward advance reached Alaska, Xu Baofeng was very excited:

"The US military is moving south and attacking Mexico. Quickly, it's time to take the initiative and enter Canada."

Xu Baofeng was not very satisfied with hiding in Alaska and secretly transporting Asians here to consolidate their foundation, like rats moving house.

What kind of reputation does "rat delivery" have?

Even if hundreds of thousands of people are brought in, and the local population structure is restored to a state where yellow people dominate, it will only serve to defend the country's borders and increase future wealth within the Arctic Circle.

But as the Canadian resistance grew weaker and weaker, Xu Baofeng became extremely anxious.

However, their army is insufficient; maintaining soldiers is still too costly these days. Although they recently signed a $5 million investment contract with a natural gas producer, this amount is still far too small compared to the cost of war.

The General Staff is discussing how to respond.

Faced with the General Staff's discussion, Xu Baofeng issued his traditional slogan:

"Go deep inside and mobilize the people!"

Upon hearing this phrase, spoken in a Northeastern accent, "mobilize the people," the members of the North American General Staff nearly collapsed.

After all, it's hard to imagine expecting a group of Canadians to obey party rules and regulations while fighting a life-or-death battle with the United States. Judging from their swift surrender after the First Army's attack on Ottawa, it's a miracle they didn't betray themselves.

Moreover, Canadians tend to favor the Democratic Party, so it's hard to say whether they can organize themselves.

Xu Baofeng, however, felt that:

"Why not? I don't believe that Canadians whose assets were taken away by a one-to-five forced pricing scheme can tolerate such humiliation. Ordinary Canadians whose businesses were seized by American tycoons are willing to kneel down. As long as you are willing to try, there is definitely a way."

He organized 50 young new cadres and sent them to Vancouver, Canada:

“You are to go to Vancouver to establish a branch of the Progressive Party, organize local people to launch strikes and demonstrations, and prepare weapons for battle.”

Chapter 946: Beastmen Appear in America, Li Xinghe's Cultural Integration (4000 words)

Vancouver.

As a city with a large Chinese population, the local Chinese are now facing a dire situation: either fleeing back home or suffering significant financial losses. Furthermore, with the escalating rift between the US and China, trade between Canada and China has shrunk dramatically, leading to a decline in the living standards of locals. For the Chinese community, the most painful experience is the collapse in housing prices and the devaluation of their assets.

"But that doesn't mean we can easily mobilize them."

"First, we should go to poor communities to spread awareness and mobilize people."

However, after deliberation, the Progressive Party branch concluded that it was not advisable to overtly mobilize the Chinese to fight for the time being. As urban residents, the living standards of the local Chinese had not yet fallen to the level of the New York middle class who defected to the Communists, and not all of them supported armed struggle. Instead, they should first target the nearly bankrupt poor people in the suburbs. They were so poor they had no food to eat, unlike the Chinese who could at least return to their hometowns (moreover, some Chinese dared not return to their hometowns).

While they were secretly searching, the team that had previously made the gun purchase with them quickly arrived.

Despite being a small bay, this area has seen numerous independence movements. The most prevalent is Gulfism, which aims to unite the Canadian states of Vancouver, Washington, and Oregon in the vicinity of this bay, where Vancouver and Seattle are located, to form a new independent nation.

Gulfism argues that the Canadian province of British Columbia, the US states of Washington and Oregon, situated in the same bay and sharing similar lifestyles, should be united and declared independent. (The last part, "你林在有我你空你林在在没呢," is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly. It's left as is.)

Another Cascadian independence movement had a similar slogan and territory to the Gulf movement, but their movement was based on the unity of this geographical plate, which is a geographical plate origin.

The militias of the Cascadia independence movement often referred to themselves as the 'Bigfoot People's Corps'.

Normally, these people would just get together for fun, living a very rural redneck lifestyle. But no one expected that when it came time to fight the Americans, these big fat guys weighing hundreds of pounds would actually have to go to the battlefield.

So, when the Progressive Party branch arrived in Vancouver with 4000 tons of grain and luncheon meat, they found that what they could immediately mobilize was this large group of 'Bigfoot' savages weighing over 300 pounds each.

"Even if they're savages, at least they have military experience and the ability to form teams."

After discussing it, everyone decided to continue fighting like this for now, and to conduct several more ambushes to see how effective it was.

The starving suburbanites, having received food from the Communist Party, were quickly willing to cooperate and fight against the American invaders. However, they also raised questions:

How to protect yourself?

After brainstorming, the Bigfoot tribe finally came up with a very peculiar idea.

And so, the Furei store in Vancouver suffered a major setback.

The Bigfoot savages secretly moved all of their Fury leather suitcase inventory under cover of night, leaving behind only a large pile of Canadian dollars that were no longer worth much.

Then their playful ambush began.

In the pitch-black night, the militia, gathered on the outskirts of the city and guided by their flags, abandoned their cell phones and Google Maps, relying solely on non-electronic devices to maneuver on foot through familiar groves. Donning brightly colored Fury stunt suits, they prepared to attack American police and troops.

American patrol officers have relatively fixed procedures, so they first arranged for a few people to lie down on the road, which stopped a police car.

"attack!"

With a loud shout, dozens of 300-pound fat men in leather suits charged out.

"Holy crap!?"

The patrolling officers were terrified when they saw the colorful, Fury-clad, cannibalistic gunmen emerge from the forest and open fire on them, experiencing a strange fear akin to Teletubbies flying right in front of them.

The police officers reversed their car and fled, resulting in one death and one injury.

The 180P video from the dashcam brought back by the fleeing police officer, showing a large group of bizarre-looking beastmen wielding rifles and pistols chasing after a car, quickly became a hot topic in American entertainment news.

"There are wild beastmen in the jungle!"

People were so intrigued that they didn't see it as a Canadian rebellion, but rather as some kind of strange, supernatural phenomenon. They believed that fantastical creatures lurked within Canada's millions of square kilometers of northwestern forests.

Some of these mysterious groups, obsessed with this, have even organized expeditions to the hidden northwestern regions of Canada in search of the Beastman.

Initially, no one took the reports of the jungle beastman sightings seriously; a pro-Democratic talk show even used it to mock Vance.

"Our America has fallen into a truly bizarre state. There's an incredibly fat emperor, communist ratmen operating underground in New York, and colorful beastmen roaming the Canadian jungle. Aha, if someone told me tomorrow that America is about to be overrun by the undead, and that the Japanese kamikaze pilots will crash into the Twin Towers, I'd believe it."

Japan's kamikaze pilots are unlikely to appear, but the Beastmen of the Northwest and the underground ratmen of the developed cities in the Northeast are gradually developing partnerships and establishing organizations to completely overthrow the Vance Dynasty.

……

Tokyo.

The heat wave in August swept through the shipyard.

Repair work on the Tamamo-no-Mae is still ongoing, while the Shinano has conducted its third sea trial. According to the Maritime Self-Defense Force's assessment, the Shinano is ready to enter service and be deployed strategically.

Zhang Xiaoqian stood beside Dock No. 6, where the battleship Shinano was historically built, and was talking with a representative of the Japan Shipbuilding Company:

"Can this place be reopened?"

"Of course, but is it really necessary? Japan has many units capable of building large ships now."

"Let's do an assessment first."

What Zhang Xiaoqian was actually thinking about was restarting this cradle of Japanese World War II aircraft carriers to build missile submarines for the Allied Forces, supplementing the most lacking underwater forces.

Despite some military staff shouting "Death to the underwater villains!", no one dares to underestimate the power of submarines. Especially the large fleet of American nuclear submarines, whose design and capabilities far surpass those of China's. They are designed to function as modern battleships.

However, lacking the necessary submarine design and capabilities, they have no choice but to continue relying on domestic resources. The only area where the US currently holds a leading edge is in the unique arena of nuclear submarines.

Speaking of such important matters, Zhang Xiaoqian asked Lin Youzi:

Where is our boss?

Lin Youzi took out her phone from her pocket and showed everyone a video her daughter had sent:

"The boss... is filming a trashy TV series, sigh, it's a bit idiotic."

Everyone covered their mouths and tried to suppress their laughter after watching it.

You mustn't laugh out loud, or you'll have to clean toilets tomorrow.

In fact, it is quite idiotic.

The TV series that Li Xinghe participated in is the Taiga drama "Wai Lang 600 Years Ago" which aired this year.

Of course, Lee Sung-ha was actually filming the second half of "The Story of a Female Civil Servant" on set, which happened to be in the same location as the studio for the Taiga drama.

So, as a hobby, Li Xinghe and Jian Meili's mother would go to the film set to look for cameo roles when they had nothing to do.

The TV series production team gave Li Xinghe a very clichéd design.

He plays Chen Yanyou, the founder of the Wai Lang family. As a miraculous doctor from China, he uses the "Tou Ding Xiang" to cure the stroke of a wealthy merchant in Kyoto. The merchant then immediately presents him with his beautiful daughter. After marrying the beautiful girl, he has children and becomes famous, and then establishes the Wai Lang family and Wai Lang Pharmacy.

Li Xinghe was stunned after hearing this:

"No, why is this so cliché?"

However, the director and screenwriter did not think it was bad.

In just a few minutes of footage, the essence of Chinese short dramas was brought in.

A foreign expert, a sudden appearance that humiliates the local doctor, healing a beautiful girl, rising from nothing to fame – this well-formulated short drama formula instantly and vividly establishes Chen Yanyou's journey to Japan. Moreover, Li Xinghe only makes two cameo appearances, so these ridiculous plot points don't actually require much acting skill.

After democratic discussion, when the production team invited Haru to make a cameo appearance as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Li Xinghe shrugged and agreed.

Then they filmed a truly awful opening sequence for the drama.

The director was shouting, "Don't worry about it being corny, it's all about being corny yet funny. This part of the story is going to be edited into a video to create a buzz."

Therefore, Li Xinghe and Haru's performances were also quite outrageous, with a focus on being both rustic and trendy, making the novel-level face-slapping plot incredibly hilarious.

Even Misato Ma, looking at this script, was speechless and asked the director:

"This is so tacky!"

"Don't rush, just shoot this part."

That's definitely the only part.

Because the next scene is a sex scene.

The TV series production team has taken silliness to the extreme.

The second storyline they arranged for Li Xinghe involved Uno Sadaharu, a descendant of Chen Yanyou, who, after being invited by Hojo Soun to serve as a physician in Odawara City, received a territory of 200 kan (a unit of currency) due to his tall stature and martial prowess. The production team then portrayed this historical event, saying that Uno Sadaharu developed a latent affection for Hojo Soun's sister, Kitagawa-dono, but Kitagawa-dono was forced by Hojo Soun to marry Imagawa Yoshitada as a concubine, giving birth to Imagawa Ujichika (the first "headhunter" of the Tokaido, father of Imagawa Yoshimoto). The two were deeply grieved and consummated their relationship in a secluded room, where Kitagawa-dono gave herself to the Imagawa family.

In this segment, the production team embellished history to the point of being a historical fiction, clearly implying to the audience that Imagawa Yoshitada was cuckolded by Uno Sadaharu, a Chinese descendant who had an affair with Kitagawa-dono, and that Imagawa Ujichika and Imagawa Yoshimoto were both descendants of Uno Sadaharu.

Of course, among the many unofficial histories and terrible scripts created for Taiga dramas over the years, this kind of crazy unofficial history is not the wildest; the screenwriters even think it's good.

Misato's speechless comment:

"It feels even more tacky, and it's really stupid."

The rest of the story is utterly absurd.

Purely meat-selling level.

It's not just about selling the woman's body, but also Li Xinghe's sexuality.

The camera showed a young and handsome man named Li Xinghe shirtless, revealing his beautiful upper body. He then embraced Yui Aragaki, who played Kitagawa in a cameo role in a TV series, and they began to rub against each other, their bodies touching.

Then, a few suggestive scenes of 'fertilization' are shown, followed by touching the belly, thus conveying to the audience the unofficial history that the Imagawa family has been cuckolded by the Chinese.

The plot is utterly idiotic, and the content is purely about selling sex appeal.

Moreover, it's one thing for the production team to call Haru over, but they also brought in Yui Aragaki, who was rumored to have been forced to divorce by Lee Seong-ha. This is clearly just a shameless attempt to hype up the drama.

Looking at this script, Misato asked the director of the TV series:

"Is this what you call cultural export? Can exporting this kind of 'idiotic' culture really be effective?"

The production team didn't hide their determination to generate hype, frankly stating:

"Madam, pond and lake content is the mainstream consumer product of this era. If you make a Taiga drama and there's no living pond or lake scene in it, do you think anyone will watch it? Think about the Chinese market. Japanese dramas have been declining for years, and we must find our new future."

Indeed, compared to Chinese and Korean dramas, Japanese dramas have experienced a significant decline in quality in terms of scripts, acting, and content. They have lacked hits for years and are now competing with Korean dramas to see who can decline more severely.

The production team crafted this storyline because the practice of seeking sperm donation from Chinese people did exist at that time, and they could also use this clichéd swamp plot to tap into the Chinese market. The scriptwriters' use of dramatic techniques was clearly influenced by the recent popularity of Chinese short dramas and novels.

Therefore, it's more accurate to call it cultural integration rather than cultural export.

There are already a lot of actresses in the Japanese film and television industry who rely on the Chinese market. Leveraging this is enough to open up the two markets and achieve economic exchange.
