Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Not only governments, but also the public, businesses, and cultural circles have tacitly begun to sideline the UN headquarters in New York, working together to promote the good news of the UN's relocation to Asia. Foreign ministries around the world have also been secretly holding tea parties to discuss the new diplomatic landscape and changes following the UN's move to Asia.

While the relocation of the United Nations may not make May's bra size bigger, it can greatly boost the confidence of East Asian countries.

I have a feeling that the center of the world has shifted.

So when Lao Wu and Li Xinghe were discussing this matter, all the major newspapers and television stations outside, whether it was NHK, Fuji, or South Korea's KBS, SBS, and MBC, or the large array of local media in China, had launched a tsunami-like media offensive to obtain the United Nations' approval.

"Borneo is now the heart of the world!" many media outlets exclaimed.

"Why can't Sin Chew University take over the United Nations?" Many radicals have even proposed bringing the United Nations to China.

Many companies flocked to register branches in the Lanfang Republic, hoping to take advantage of the United Nations' reputation, procurement, and advertising opportunities.

Many people also moved to Lanfang Mansion, hoping to get a closer look at the United Nations and invest in the future.

Nearly 20 billion people across East Asia, let's work together to welcome the relocation of the United Nations!

Even A-shares have surged!

Confidence is a good thing; with confidence, many things will fall into place naturally.

After receiving Li Xinghe's assurance, Old Wu patted his chest and sighed with relief:

"It's fortunate that we moved to a place like Borneo with plenty of land and few people. I can't even imagine what it would be like if we moved to a densely populated place like China, Japan, South Korea, or North Korea."

China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are all densely populated countries, yet none of them have large cities suitable for hosting the United Nations or possessing abundant land resources. Yes, none of them.

This also involves a very traditional dilemma.

The fact that a major capital city is popular does not necessarily mean that local residents like it.

Despite the constant stories of "just a few votes short of becoming the capital" and "capital relocation plans" circulating in many places, such as Nanjing, Xi'an, Luoyang, Chongqing, and Harbin, the pressure on local residents when relocation actually takes place is unspeakable and unbearable.

If the United Nations were located in China or Japan, the influx of foreigners would be difficult for the locals to accept. After all, both their lifestyles and the general sense of rejection based on distrust would be very off-putting.

This is evident in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Conflicts between immigrants and locals have at times escalated to the point where military and police intervention was necessary. Black, white, and Asian Americans share similar anxieties in their racial struggles. Crucially, different ethnic groups are not only different in skin color, but they can never achieve reconciliation or compromise.

The more subtle manifestations, such as the conflicts between Beijing residents and migrants after the capital was established in Beijing, highlight the scarcity of resources. Beijing already suffered from water shortages, and the presence of these "outsiders" further exacerbated the situation, leading to numerous social problems. In the 80s and 90s, these conflicts fueled a surge in youth crime in Beijing, a problem similar to that in Shanghai. Fortunately, these conflicts were internal, allowing for more effective mediation and mitigation.

Li Xinghe nodded affirmatively and said:

“A small city like Lanfangfu, with a small population, is within the influence of China, Japan, and South Korea, is very close to Guangdong and Singapore Special Economic Zone, and has abundant resources for survival. This would prevent conflicts between diverse delegations from various countries and locals, making it the perfect place.”

Old Wu was very happy. Recalling the jubilation of the various diplomatic departments when he returned to Shanghai for a meeting, he couldn't help but tease Li Xinghe:

"This time, the American strategic community probably really hates you to death."

Li Xinghe humorously said:

"American strategic scholars? Even the US government and Americans don't like them. Haha. Maybe they'll come looking for jobs here in the future. If those old men dare to curse me, I won't pay them."

The reason is quite simple. All the long-term vision, future development, and international order discussed in strategic studies are far less pressing than the intense social conflicts we face right now.

Biden was arguably the last US president to pursue a long-term strategy aimed at containing China, but he was ousted by the Americans. Americans have every reason to be angry. Burdened by student loans, mortgages, and car loans, who would willingly follow the strategic advisors' plan to sacrifice their own interests for Chinese capitalists and immigrants, allowing them to live comfortably in the US while stepping on Americans to get their meals? What kind of logic is that?

Therefore, the current Trump and Vance are the result of their vigorous resistance.

That's their good fortune too.

……

The United Nations is running away!

As the movement to welcome the United Nations to the Republic of Lanfang grows louder in Asia, many UN departments are also moving there, making the situation increasingly dangerous.

Insightful people in the United States are distraught and urging the government to ensure that the United Nations does not let them escape. They are better off losing them than losing them, as this is of paramount importance to the global governance strategy!

Since World War II, over a hundred countries have gained independence through the legal processes of the United Nations, with their independence legal procedures largely concluding at the UN level. This is precisely the secret the United States uses to maintain global control.

For East Asian countries, acquiring the United Nations is tantamount to acquiring the world's highest legal code of the past 80 years. This comprehensive code not only encompasses the legal independence and legitimacy of over a hundred countries but also includes numerous international cooperation treaties, such as those concerning environmental protection, children, and women. It can be used to make supreme and legitimate rulings on international affairs and to assist the CCP and Li Xinghe in continuously adjusting the status quo and finding the international order most suitable for them.

To borrow a magical definition, this is America's Ring of God and All-Seeing Eye, but China has taken it away!

Most importantly, they didn't use the Fellowship of the Ring, nor did they spend much magic crystals; they simply stayed home and waited, and the American corpses just floated down from upstream, giving them a free United Nations.

what is the reason?

It turns out that Vance demanded that the United Nations submit to him, and New York, this fortress of capitalism, had already been turned red ahead of time. The intense social contradictions created a huge potential communist party, and now all the wealthy people in New York are surrounded by countless potential communists.

The skyscrapers above ground are the offices and beautiful homes of the wealthy and international elites, while the low-rise buildings, subways, and sewers below are the battlegrounds of New York's middle class, filled with rage.

They slowed down the US military and sent the United Nations out.

The American strategic community is deeply saddened by this!

If it really comes down to a head-on confrontation with China and the Asia-Pacific region, with each side sending ten aircraft carriers to fight in the Pacific, then it would be a sacrifice, and a loss is a loss (although the Americans will not admit that they will lose).

It would be such a humiliating loss to lose the United Nations because of the New York Communist Party's unrest!

Even a strategic thinker like Mearsheimer, who talks about 'realism' but is full of 'ideal plans,' couldn't help but cry on television, wiping away tears and sobbing as he said:

"Never before has a day felt so bleak to me!"

Strategic scholars have jointly petitioned the government, hoping that Vance will stop pressuring the United Nations to submit, otherwise they will all run away.

Fortunately, no one in the US government listens to the American strategic community.

Can a normal person survive in Washington? No way. If you're not here to make money, why do you want to be a Washington bureaucrat? People work in Washington for a few years and then quit to go to New York to make money. You're just sitting here rambling on and on. It can't be because you love America, can it?

Those who still love America while mired in the bureaucratic quagmire of Washington deserve only to sit at the same table with rednecks, sycophants, and Western-worshipping lackeys. They even have to share bunk beds.

Vance didn't care what these international elites thought; he only demanded that the United Nations submit quickly, or else he would die.

American strategic think tanks and elites can only watch Asia with despair:

"Don't put up the sign!"

So Lanfang Mansion was given a sign that read "United Nations (Asia) Headquarters," with the word "Asia" compressed to a size that was barely visible to the naked eye.

"Quack, stop operating!"

Several departments dedicated to women's and children's rights have already set up offices there and are sending supplies to UN branches in parts of Asia, particularly for women in India and children in the Middle East. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly spam/advertisement.)

"Croak! Stop the UN people from passing by!"

Although those inside the UN headquarters in New York couldn't escape, the UN had numerous branches around the world, leaving them nowhere to go. After China, Japan, South Korea, and North Korea promised to provide them with ample funds and supplies, they flew to Lanfang.

Seeing that the United Nations Headquarters building in Lanfangfu has reached the top in just a few months, with complete supporting facilities and various departments already in operation.

On this day, countless scholars in the American strategic community issued extremely pessimistic predictions.

"It's over! America, America has lost its kidney."

In their view, this was tantamount to Li Xinghe secretly cutting off America's kidneys.

The United States has lost the filtering and control organ it relied on to maintain global order.

Some people sadly mentioned the UN's independence and legitimacy: "It's over, America's testicles have been cut off by Li Xinghe!"

The United Nations holds the supreme legal authority to recognize national independence, which is tantamount to the United States creating testicles for its vassal states. Now that it's in Li Xinghe's hands, can't he just decide who gets independent and carve up whose territory he wants? Indonesia has been dismantled like that, so what about the Philippines? Myanmar? Aren't they just meat on Li Xinghe's plate?

Of course, no one paid attention to their cries of despair.

While they wept, Vance's supporters, those intellectually challenged Magas, were still marching and cheering in the streets, supporting the destruction of the United Nations.

Chapter 952: Maria for a Day, I Want Missouri, Grass on the Emperor's Grave (3600 words)

I woke up in the morning.

Maria Miyake, Japan's most beautiful female idol, wakes up to the sound of birdsong in the forest.

She lives on the third floor, so when she opens the window, she sees sunshine, birds, and summer flowers.

After putting on the suit placed on the stool, Maria, with a toothbrush in her mouth, went downstairs and saw Ms. Hirai calmly baking bread in the kitchen, while Chinese takeout from the restaurant was on the table.

"Today's meal is spicy soup and steamed buns~" Yi Hua and Mei Ji didn't stay in bed. They knelt down beside the dining table and distributed the food to everyone who woke up.

"Oh, then I won't brush my teeth for now."

Maria brushed her bangs aside, rinsed her mouth, and began to eat breakfast.

Now that she has become the speaker of the Tokyo State Assembly, she has many things to do.

Unlike Mayu Takajo, who is under a lot of pressure and often goes out in public to relieve stress and criticize idiotic companies like Sony, Takajo is different.

Maria Miyake, a popular Japanese idol known for her pure and innocent image, is the de facto queen of Tokyo Prefecture, holding the position of Speaker of the Tokyo State Assembly. The local government's annual budget of tens of trillions of yen, as well as the allocation of industrial zones in Tokyo Bay and the planning of reclaimed land areas, are all under her control.

There weren't this many approvals in May.

Therefore, Maria couldn't wait for Lee Sung-ha, who reportedly only fell asleep at 4 a.m. last night, to wake up, so she and her secretaries hurriedly left to go to work at the state government and parliament in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Upon arriving at her office, Maria Miyake looked at the reports and pondered.

She's the smart type, so she works even harder, spending a lot of time reviewing reports every day to make sure the projects she approves pass.

As she was engrossed in reading about a development zone project, she suddenly felt her face get wet.

When I turned around, it turned out to be a child.

Miss Yuzhi held the child in one arm and patted her right hand, which was pressed against her chest:

"That's a hand from a billionaire, don't press it down."

She deliberately emphasized the word "billions," so most people would just assume she was referring to the annual trillion-dollar fiscal budget approvals. However, since Yuzhi and Maria are family, there was an underlying, teasing tone. She was implying that this hand had once controlled Li Xinghe's billions of descendants.

At first, Miyake Maria didn't understand. But when she suddenly grasped the meaning of 'the hand of a billion,' she immediately and angrily punched Hanabatake Oowashi Tamae:

"Ugh, how mean! Don't turn into a greasy, wicked old lady after having a baby."

Yuzhi mischievously took two steps back and continued teasing Maria:

"Hehe, everyone says you're the queen of BYD. You need to be as composed as a queen."

During their time in power in Tokyo, Maria Miyake and Osamu Hanabatake did virtually nothing but continuously approve one cooperation project after another with China on behalf of the state legislature, with BYD's businesses being the most numerous.

Maria Miyake rolled her eyes:

"Ugh...it sounds like they're insulting me."

It's almost there.

Under Li Xinghe's impetus, a large number of joint ventures were established. The purpose of these joint ventures was not to exchange market access for technology, but to achieve supply chain integration.

Toyota remains the world's most profitable automaker, but a large number of its Japanese suppliers have gone bankrupt and been acquired by Chinese companies. The former small business owners of these Japanese companies are now senior managers within the supply chain. While they have lost their businesses, at least the debts and operations are being handled by Chinese companies, preventing workers from losing their jobs and facing financial ruin.

Three years ago, when Li Xinghe was not yet Prime Minister, he massively sold off Japanese assets, leaving Japanese business owners like hostesses in a nightclub, for Chinese buyers to choose from. This drew much criticism at the time, with many arguing that Li Xinghe was essentially treating these business owners like nightclub hostesses, behaving with extreme disrespect. [The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly spam: "You Lin think about Lin Lin empty you Lin are here or not..."]

Despicable.

Now that Li Xinghe is the Prime Minister of Japan, he's become more cautious when selling off Japanese assets. Li Xinghe has begun having relevant companies facilitate investment deals through the Chinese-language departments directly under the Cabinet, with secret one-on-one negotiations between the parties. After all, even when selling out one's country, one should sell its value; we're not Chiang Kai-shek, who wouldn't sell out his country.

This is also jokingly referred to as a matchmaking event.

Although the business owners were all selling their bodies, they had gone from being nightclub hostesses to respectable women. They got a good price for it.

Upper class.

Seeing Maria had a headache, Ms. Tamae gave her a mental massage:

"Don't be so serious. It's just that a few more industrial projects were approved, and some people are making a fuss because they're jealous. Xinghe won't punish you. I'll send a message to Rie later and ask Section 9 of the Public Security Bureau to help you deal with these bastards."

Maria gently swayed her stylish medium-length hair and explained:

"It has nothing to do with those people. I'm just angry. Sigh, things can't always be perfect."

This symptom is common among people from unhappy families; being too serious can lead to mental exhaustion.

Yuzhi's eyes darted around, and she pulled her aside, saying:

"Then I have some good news for you. Xinghe salvaged an aircraft carrier from the United States and brought it back to be exhibited in a museum. Now they won't have time to bother you. I guess they'll be arguing about who gets the money for the aircraft carrier's docking and the museum for the next few months."

"Ugh?"

Maria Miyake jumped up, stretched, and followed Ms. Tamae to the port.

……

"Please be aware of navigational safety!"

"Right turn left...left..."

Amidst the rising and falling sounds, four harbor tugboats propelled the massive aircraft carrier into Tokyo Bay.

Li Xinghe, Lin Youzi, and others stood by the harbor, watching the USS Midway enter Yokosuka Port.

With its massive 306-meter-long body, three elevators, a maximum knot of 33 knots, and the ability to carry 75 fighter jets, the 6.5-ton supercarrier Midway slowly entered Yokosuka Naval Base.
