Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Shui Jingtianping pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and pointed out the biggest problem with the script:

"But why is there so much explicit content in the script?"

Lu Yuchi Hua Yingmei used the excuse of taking turns caring for her to evade the issue.

"Of course it's because...we'll be taking turns visiting the set later."

As she spoke, Shika Yuchi Hua Yingmei pinched Takajo Mayu's cheek:

"You have to go too."

Gao Tiao Wuyue was extremely shy.

Of course, her main fear was seeing a herd of large dairy cows that would flatten her.

……

Autumn of 2031. You Lin, I Mei, want to sing of emptiness, but is your Lin still here...?

The world is witnessing the rise of a different political order.

There's a guy named Li Xinghe in the east who kills without blinking an eye, tearing Indonesia apart with a flick of his wrist. But when he's not doing anything, he spends his days filming TV dramas and movies in Tokyo. As a descendant of a famous director, he has both acting skills and talent. When he gets serious, he delivers a performance with the aura of a movie star, reminiscent of the absurdity of the Qingyi Emperor Li Cunxu.

On the west side, there's Vance, whose relationship with Li Xinghe is on and off; his wife has even run off to Li Xinghe. Yet, he's able to leverage the legitimacy of the presidency to forcibly establish what he calls the American Empire, and has even annexed the unsuspecting Canada. Currently, he's engaged in a major border conflict with Mexico, and seems to harbor ambitions to unify North America.

In terms of the bizarre, Vance's life story might be even more insane than Li Xinghe's.

But when it comes to being mischievous, Li Xinghe seems to have the upper hand.

Therefore, when Li Xinghe released the teaser trailer for "MacArthur on Mount Fuji," it seemed to be telling the world that the true purpose of this film was to completely eliminate American influence over Japan and South Korea. The rumored "first bullet fired at America" ​​seems to further confirm Li Xinghe's propaganda objectives.

As Li Xinghe lay on the central soft bed, feeling like a toilet being used in turn, he received a secret phone call from Washington.

It's still a video.

Seemingly to show his solemnity, Vance put on an imperial robe that was already too tight, wrapped himself in a red cloak to hide his large belly.

Seeing his appearance, Li Xinghe asked in confusion:

Are you in the Southern Hemisphere?

Obviously, if this were in the Northern Hemisphere, unless one were to the Arctic, no one would dress like this at the end of summer.

Vance shamelessly said:

"Ahem, I'd like to have a chat with you. I've invited the Second Deputy Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor, and the Director of Strategic Studies..."

Li Xinghe tilted the camera back slightly, revealing to Vance that the pink room was filled with various Japanese and Korean actresses, then deliberately coughed:

"I'm busy."

He's busy being all lovey-dovey with female celebrities.

Unexpectedly, this scene didn't really bother the others, but it made Vance extremely angry.

You fucking...

Are you trying to imply that Vance is no longer viable?

Holding his breath, Vance began to speak in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh dear, no wonder you've been quiet lately. Is it because you've spent too much energy on women that you've stopped making moves?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xinghe felt it was like a primary school student arguing, so he retorted sarcastically:

"Didn't Canada win because of the troops I trained?"

Vance really had nothing to say.

The Northern Military District, established in Canada, is currently functioning well. The 1st Division of the 1st Corps has been expanded into the 1st Corps, and preparations are underway to expand the 2nd Division, which occupies Baja California, into the 2nd Corps. These troops, trained by Li Xinghe, have demonstrated the superior qualities of the old-style military units in combat.

But we can't afford to fall behind.

Vance then began to criticize Li Xinghe's taste in women, saying things that were not entirely true: "You brought that woman, Usha, back with you, didn't you? Sigh, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, even wanting an old woman in her forties. If you need, I can help you find some Hollywood actresses."

amount……

Considering the recent quality of Hollywood actresses, Li Xinghe naturally declined, saying they were not as good as the plastic surgery teams here.

Therefore, Li Xinghe went straight to the core:

"The only success you have achieved in the Mexican War so far is due to the troops I trained."

"You...you're still only focused on this? I've led America to become the world's largest country."

Vance got a little angry and started bragging.

Li Xinghe, naturally, struck a chord with Vance, hitting him hard in the heart once again:

"You can't even take down the UN headquarters. The Communists have already set up camp underground in Washington."

The underground ratmen even came up with a very peculiar idea: they wanted to start digging underground near Washington, D.C., and plant a massive amount of bombs beneath the White House to blow Vance into the sky. This idea was quite good, but unfortunately, they were caught by the Secret Service in Washington before they could carry it out.

Vance was furious, like a swollen, fat pig, but he was helpless in the face of Li Xinghe's sarcasm.

"Let's go back and talk about Mexico. I need some weapons."

Vance's imperial throne remains in a state of 'first citizen' cosplay. Although the midterm elections were forcibly resolved, the national election in 2032 is still being secretly pushed by many powerful American agencies, who are planning to oust him when the time comes.

Most importantly, if you can't win the battle, everything else is meaningless.

Apart from the First Army's Second Division, which had been trained by Li Xinghe and quickly completed the military occupation of the Baja California Peninsula, attacking Tijuana and Mesilica respectively, the 40th Infantry Division in the center attacking Juarez City and the 36th Infantry Division in the east attacking Laredo and Reynosa, all entered the predicament of fighting tunnel warfare and drone warfare against warlord forces in the city.

"Didn't we give you weapons? They were exchanged for the Midway."

"I need more!"

Li Xinghe had already guessed that if there was any progress, Vance would not compromise with Li Xinghe.

Then, a procurement intention document was passed over from the other side.

Li Xinghe was surprised:

“每个月采购30万发155炮弹、10万架穿梭无人机，采购K9自行火炮、各式旧美制的装甲车、10万枚航空炸弹、F35战斗机……我艹，连部队训练官都想和我采购？”

Surely it can't be that embarrassing?

Li Xinghe began to suspect that the Pentagon was deliberately sabotaging Vance by creating a shortage of weapons.

His eyes darted around, and he began to pose a difficult question to Vance:

"I don't want dollars right now. I only want technology transfer, commodities, and gold and silver. Or... you can sell me the Enterprise ship that's under construction. I'll supply you with military war materials for free for six months."

Theoretically, Li Xinghe should be at a disadvantage.

Because just 30 rounds of 155mm artillery shells per month would cost $12 billion in the United States, not to mention F-35s, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles and aerial bombs. Drones are also very expensive in the United States, but Li Xinghe can directly order cheap suicide drones from Huaqiangbei, bring them to Japan, assemble them slightly, and then give them to the US military.

Based on this calculation, if Li Xinghe supplies the US for free for six months, Li Xinghe's expenditure will exceed $20 billion, while the total cost of the US Ford-class aircraft carriers will be $125 billion. It seems that Vance will make a net profit.

Vance vehemently denied it:

"No, at most I can give you the USS Eisenhower."

"No, that's rubbish."

Li Xinghe already has the Tamamo-no-Mae; the expenses for extending and refurbishing the old ship are enough to start building a new aircraft carrier. Therefore, there's no need to salvage a second 50-year-old ship girl. One is enough to steal the technology from.

Therefore, he only needs to create a new enterprise account.

The Enterprise has maintained a 95% completion rate for many years. It's obvious to everyone that she could have been launched long ago. However, because parts need to be dismantled to support the Ford and Kennedy, which are not actually fully repaired, she has been repeatedly putting up sit-ups on the edge of leaving the factory and taking a break in the bathtub.

The port of Yokosuka in Tokyo Bay is not only capable of building and repairing aircraft carriers, but it also performs better maintenance work on US aircraft carriers than the US mainland.

Vance hung up the phone and began discussing the matter with his staff.

Valeria, who overheard the conversation, massaged Li Xinghe's forehead:

"Does it sound like we're at a disadvantage?"

"That's not how you do it."

Li Xinghe slyly shook his finger.

A 155mm artillery shell costs $4 in the US, but only $1 in South Korea—a 39-fold price difference. Similarly, Japan and South Korea have large stockpiles of armored vehicles needed by the US military, including M24 Chaffee tanks. This is all junk that can be taken away for free and returned to the US.

The same goes for drones. Can the price at the US terminal be the same as the price Li Xinghe paid for them?

别说200亿美元，20亿美元都够打发万斯了。只要他不买太多的F35。实际上李星河这边的F35产量也低，免费供应6个月，最多就给万斯12架。

Vance called again, but this time he didn't make a video call. He probably didn't want to see Li Xinghe surrounded by a bunch of women; it would be too heartbreaking.

The thought that the assassin of democracy had stabbed his own basket is especially heartbreaking.

After thinking for a while, Vance offered a second round of price:

"Can I withdraw my troops from Poland and Germany?"

This suggestion is quite profound.

It sounds like they're telling Li Xinghe, "You can take whatever you want from Europe, I won't object, I'll withdraw my troops and let you loot as you please." It's quite similar to the Eastern Roman emperor allowing his soldiers to buy things for free in his palace.

But at least in Li Xinghe's view, there was something more sinister about it. Alexei Grinkovich, the commander of U.S. European Command, was a Belarusian-American whose parents were scientific researchers who fled during the collapse of Tsarist Russia. This quintessential family background naturally placed him among the staunchly anti-Russian faction. The withdrawal of troops from Poland and Germany might seem like abandoning Europe, allowing Li Xinghe to plunder at will, but in practice, it was more akin to the U.S. using Li Xinghe to weaken the European Command.

This is to lure in the Eastern invaders and destroy the European vassal states.

Whether Li Xinghe's European Command or the U.S. European Command is destroyed, it will be a win-win situation for Vance on the home front.

Although he felt the terms were open to further negotiation, Li Xinghe remained adamant and refused to budge.

"No, I want the Enterprise. You have no idea how much I love the Enterprise."

That's the apple of the eye of American veterans! How could an NTR master like Li Xinghe let it go?

Chapter 960: 60 Billion for Enterprises, Ukraine Must Be Sinicized (4800 words)

"We must never hand over the Enterprise!"

When Li Xinghe requested to exchange the Enterprise for supplies, not only the White House, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff was in an uproar.

This is a ship's name that will never fade in the hearts of American soldiers, a great aspiration passed down from generation to generation to the new aircraft carrier. How could it be so easily exchanged for supplies? Especially for some basic shells of relatively low value. The veteran leaders still can't understand why such a great nation as America, capable of building the largest aircraft carrier in human history, can't even build the most basic shells?

"Actually, it's not just shells, we're even struggling with the construction of artillery... um..." The Joint Chiefs of Staff awkwardly refrained from revealing this fact.

Let alone artillery shells, even cannon barrels are difficult to manufacture. New ones are less desirable than salvaging Cold War stockpiles.

The US military is still using the M777 howitzer, which was developed and finalized by the UK in 1985, and its self-propelled howitzers are still the M109, which dates back to 1963. Meanwhile, the Army spent 30 years and countless funds on a bunch of projects with plans such as 'extended-range artillery', but they were all cut, only filling Commissioner Smith's pocket.

This is thanks to President Reagan, the standard-bearer of American deindustrialization who ushered in the era of neoliberalism.

When the Joint Chiefs of Staff was debating this issue, and many senior officials faced the pressure of reality, who could have imagined that when the Nimitz was sold to Li Xinghe under the guise of "dismantling and retiring an old ship," and everyone thought that Japan could only offer this much, Li Xinghe was still able to leverage his industrial capabilities to demand the Enterprise?

"It's all the Navy's fault for delaying the commissioning of the Enterprise!"

"Fool! If the Enterprise were in service now, it would expose the design flaws of the Ford and Kennedy again!"

The navy personnel were furious, their faces turning red and their necks bulging.

The USS Ford has consistently experienced major malfunctions when launching F-35s, preventing it from achieving full F-35 combat capability. Who wants to create such a mess? Everyone's spending time trying to fix it now (even though it's still not resolved).

At the same time, Vance's personal decision is also crucial.

Chief of Staff Christopher Grady made a private phone call to Li Xinghe while he was out using the restroom. After confirming that Li Xinghe really wanted the Enterprise, and that the Enterprise had been unable to enter the ocean and become combat-ready, and was practically a spare parts reserve, he rolled his eyes.

As the notification sound of "$50 received via Alipay" rang, the bald-headed chief of staff's mind raced.

This is a true story; Li Xinghe taught him. When Chief of Staff Grady received money from Li Xinghe, he used Chinese software to prevent the US intelligence agencies from finding any incriminating evidence. Li Xinghe then gave him another $50, hoping he would facilitate the transfer of the Enterprise.

Of course, 50 is just an appetizer; more high-priced orders will be sent to him later.

The bald man returned to his office and offered a more sophisticated explanation to His Majesty Vance and his many colleagues:

"Once we achieve global retrenchment, our existing aircraft carriers will be sufficient to protect the two oceans, East and West. In an era of global offensive, 11 aircraft carriers would still be insufficient. But if we are to hold the Americas and protect the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, I think 7 aircraft carriers are more than enough. It is important to hand over the Enterprise in exchange for enough military supplies to at least complete the conquest of Mexico."

Although no Alipay voice in Chinese was heard, the bald man was certain that many people present had taken money from Li Xinghe during the recess.

As soon as they received the money, the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff immediately brightened up.

The strategy of retreating to the Americas is being implemented, and the United States no longer needs so many aircraft carriers.

The reasons given, such as exchanging the Enterprise for Mexico and trading a ship for a country, were enough to convince the top U.S. leadership.

Meanwhile, high-ranking officials skilled in manipulating various revolving doors naturally had a thousand ways to persuade Vansdao:

"Given the current difficult situation, we could consider removing them from the list first, transferring the slots, and then handing them over... no, just like with the Midway, leasing them out."

The idea is to remove the Enterprise's name, retrieve the ship's bell, and then "rent" the aircraft carrier out under the name of an "anonymous" person.
