Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

"Sure, we can take over for Mexico for a while. We'll return it after the war."

If Vance can't afford the military funds, then I'll pay for them for him.

So, the Allied headquarters told Wallace:

"The boss said that if it really can't be sold, he's willing to help temporarily take over this poor and dilapidated peninsula. However, he has a decent relationship with Mexico, so he can only temporarily manage it. Based on the local GDP of $540 billion, the boss can provide you with $5 million worth of military supplies every year, as well as dozens of times that amount in trade. No matter how much you sell, you'll make a profit."

Fighting in the front and doing business in the back makes perfect sense.

Chapter 963: The Army Pot of Gratitude, the Dwarf Fortress of the Americas and Korea (4300 words)

"Boom!"

As September passed, Li Xinghe's military aid finally landed.

The US military not only obtained the coveted 155mm artillery shells, but also acquired K9 self-propelled howitzers, second-hand US-made M777 howitzers, and even old US-made tanks such as M48 and M60 that Li Xinghe had scavenged from various warehouses, as well as a large number of drones.

Although it might seem embarrassing, it's actually quite compatible with the educational level of the newly recruited American soldiers. They're all old, bulky, and unrefined equipment; there's no worry about them breaking them.

"Forward! Forward!"

General Wallace, driving a Taiwanese M48H Brave Tiger tank, commanded a massive force in a human wave assault on Mexico.

The Second Army used heavy artillery fire, firing more than 8,000 shells in a single day, to bombard the last enemy stronghold on the plains at the mouth of the Colorado River, located in San Luis Rio Colorado, at the junction of farmland and desert along the riverbank.

The city is home to the remnants of Mexico's 18th and 17th Military Districts. Each district originally had an infantry battalion of 350 men, but now only about 500 remain, fighting a protracted war in the city, clinging to various detached houses.

There were only a little over 500 people in total. The Second Army, with over 10,000 men, couldn't even make it through before, which shows the trouble caused by the lack of military pay and supplies.

Fortunately, Mexican soldiers are paid even less; they only receive a few thousand pesos or a few hundred dollars a month.

So after the artillery bombarded the area, the Mexicans fled the town, but they couldn't go far because behind them lay the El Pinacata Ecological Reserve, which was essentially a vast desert hundreds of kilometers wide. There was nothing there except for a single road.

After successfully gaining full control of the Colorado River estuary region, General Wallace received a $500 million gift from Li Xinghe in recognition of his outstanding performance in not forgetting his former master.

At this point, the entire Baja California peninsula was under the control of the Second Army. The nearest enemy was hundreds of kilometers away in Hermosillo, Sonora province, separated by a vast desert hundreds of kilometers wide, lacking fresh water and supplies, with only a narrow coastal pass.

Although surrounded by desert and mountains, the Colorado River, a vital waterway shared by the United States and Mexico, barely sustains a small patch of green space thanks to continuous water extraction. However, the Americans' brutal appropriation of most of the river's resources and their unsustainable pumping for irrigation have caused even larger-scale desertification of the bay area.

Even Li Xinghe thought it was outrageous.

It's not environmentally friendly.

For these uneducated soldiers, all they knew was that there were no enemies in front of them anymore.

You can eat as much as you want.

Tonight's dinner was quite special. It was a hodgepodge of several boxes of White Elephant instant noodles, expired braised pork, canned hot pot ingredients, expired luncheon meat, and various small sausages, all mixed together with a hot pot helper. The cooks also threw in some vegetables and radishes they'd picked from the field, and for the dipping sauces, they used various Mexican-made taco sauces and barbecue sauces to enhance the flavor.

This big pot of stew became increasingly fragrant with the addition of salt and sugar.

Each soldier was given a large bag of sour supermarket bread slices, 12 slices per bag. When eating, they would first scoop out the broth and instant noodles, then dip the bread slices in the broth to soak up the sauce before enjoying them.

Believe it or not, this pot of food has carbohydrates, oil, and meat, and the sugar and salt content isn't excessive even when stewed in a large pot. In a country like the United States with its high-oil, high-sugar, and high-salt diet, it could even be considered a healthy meal for weight loss.

After many impoverished soldiers had eaten their fill, they drank from expired coconut juice cans and cola bottles while reminiscing:

"What a heartwarming army stew!"

Everyone was on the verge of tears.

Even though the luncheon meat was expired, the bread was sour, and the vegetables were grown in the fields of a Mexican countryman, who wouldn't get dizzy after eating this huge pot?

The procurement department, far from being ashamed, proudly assured the soldiers:

"You'll get to eat even more in the future!"

The Second Army's logistics procurement department no longer cooperates with American suppliers. Their daily task now is to go on Chinese video and shopping websites such as Douyin, Bilibili, and Pinduoduo to find cheap food suppliers, and purchase them in containers under the guise of "purchasing pig feed" and "UN aid to African refugees." The goods are then shipped directly to Long Beach, Los Angeles, and the military takes the containers away duty-free.

Anyway, the procurement funds are limited. The officers get a share, the logistics personnel get a share, and the soldiers are lucky to get even this much to eat.

Do you expect to get a "military stew" (a type of stew) if you follow the standard procurement procedures of the U.S. military's logistics department?

You won't even get to eat hot shit.

Before going to sleep, one should pray to Li Xinghe, thanking him for the bread, honey, clothes, guns, ammunition, and shells he provided to the Second Army. Li Xinghe is still in charge of all the Second Army's logistical supplies to this day; if not thanking him, should we thank Vance instead?

"Thank you."

After everyone finished praying together, they ended their daily communal life and returned to their respective barracks.

Of course, some soldiers would sneak out to find ways to satisfy their physical needs in the town.

What Mexico finds most incomprehensible is that these people are trying to persuade Cao Pi while simultaneously holding a crucifix and praying to a strange Asian man. Who starts reciting the Bible at this time?

"That's so perverted."

……

Tokyo.

Shigeru Ishiba, who has always acted as a mascot in the parliament and considers himself the successor to Kakuei Tanaka, receives a strange order.

Go to the California peninsula, form a provisional government, and take over the port of Ensenada to conduct duty-free export business.

Shigeru Ishiba probably never expected that he would be assigned to serve as a regional governor in Baja California.

This is not the only one. Former Prime Minister Okitoshi Motegi went to Haiti, and he is still the most powerful living former prime minister, overseeing several million black people.

"me?"

He stood in Li Xinghe's temporary office at the Royal Hospital, his face full of questions.

Are you sure you're not just sending me there to my death?

Li Xinghe waved his hand, indicating:

“You can go and negotiate cooperation with Claudia Sinbaum. And regarding aid to Mexico, let China take the lead; you are weak and shouldn't take the blame. I will send North Koreans to help you.”

Li Xinghe is internationally recognized as a typical example of a person lacking in manners, but it wouldn't be accurate to say he's not human at all. At least on the issue of supporting Mexico's opposition to the US invasion, Mexicans are truly speechless.

Since three years ago, Li Xinghe has been exporting East Asian-standard weapons to support the Mexicans in their fight against the invading American forces. In this regard, his strength has grown increasingly formidable, and several warlord factions along the border, controlled by drug lords, smugglers, and anti-American forces, have all grown up with Li Xinghe's military aid.

Therefore, Mexican President Claudia Sinbaum and Li Xinghe had frequent private exchanges and a pleasant working relationship.

Of course, with the signing of the US-Japan aircraft carrier agreement, many military supplies that the US intelligence system already knew about, which Li Xinghe was providing to Mexico, will temporarily have to be transferred to a different supplier.

Li Xinghe was responsible for providing the United States with several months' worth of artillery ammunition, and then, under the guise of China, selling weapons and supplies to Mexico at a price several times higher than that.

"But Mexico..."

Shigeru Ishiba felt that this was still open to discussion.

But Li Xinghe has already confirmed:

"Given the United States' current strength, if they are determined to conquer Mexico, they will certainly succeed; it's just a matter of how much they have to pay."

The situation in North America has entered a phase of escalating conflict.

Given the current weakness of the Mexican army, if it really comes down to heavy firepower and aerial bombs raining down, it will definitely not be able to defeat the United States.

The entire Mexican army had only a few F-5 fighter jets, a few small cruisers in the navy, and 19 troops divided into ten brigades and several independent battalions, further subdivided into 12 military districts. Their main tactic for engaging the US military was to rely on major cities, forcing drug cartels to fight the US forces in urban warfare. When the US forces began to rapidly increase their numbers, eventually outnumbering the Mexicans several times over, the Mexican army was bound to lose in open field battles.

But resistance will occur after a fierce conquest.

Because Vance will only exploit Mexicans to satisfy his own needs for domination, and will not show any kindness to Mexicans.

Mexico, already rife with warlords, is bound to rise up in rebellion because of the ruthless exploitation by the Americans.

At that time, it will truly be a massive Mexican people's war against aggression.

Shigeru Ishiba couldn't refuse, so he packed his bags and flew to Ensenada with his secretary and translator.

Before he set off, Li Xinghe had already privately spread the message to the coalition's suppliers: America is empty, I have ports, you have goods, matchmaking begins, come quickly.

Currently, everyone is experiencing weak exports and can only dump excess production capacity into the United States and import American agricultural products to offset their debts.

As for how to maintain control of the Baja California Peninsula, Li Xinghe naturally had his own methods.

He brought in Nan Hao, who was already pregnant.

Li Xinghe pinched the little beauty's cheeks, kneading them to create a pitiful and adorable look:

"I need a large influx of immigrants, including veterans with combat and infrastructure capabilities—at least 30. In return, the profits from Baja California could allow the North Korean community to remit their earnings back to North Korea. How about I personally sponsor a squadron of F-15 fighter jets for North Korea?"

Let the North Koreans be on the front lines!

"what?"

Nan Haonu seemed to have a mental lapse.

How did it suddenly cross the Pacific Ocean, bypass Hawaii, and end up right behind the United States?

"No, report to North Korea that I have indeed gained control of that land and now we urgently need workers and soldiers, especially those who know how to dig tunnels and caves."

Li Xinghe took out a map and pointed it out to Nan Haonu:

"Once you arrive in Baja California, you should notice the continuous mountain ranges there. You are also familiar with the tactic of digging through mountains to build underground fortifications in an arid region with less than 250 millimeters of rainfall per year. The tactics used by Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Palestine were taught to you. Therefore, I hope you will build mountain fortifications in Baja California, construct resistance camps in the mountains, and prepare for a future major war with the United States at close range. Of course, in daily operations, you will also maintain Ensenada's import and export trade."

Baja California is connected to mainland Mexico only by a small peninsula, and is further separated by the Colorado River. If the banks of the Colorado River were locked down and a network of fortified strongholds were built in the mountains, this 1223-kilometer-long "chopsticks" peninsula could be considered an independent kingdom.

There were only so many people in the area. The North Korean immigrants were carving roads through the mountains, building fortresses and arsenals, and nobody noticed them.

This method of resistance by digging tunnels was learned by the Koreans from China, then spread to the Middle East, and is now going to the Americas, which is very much in line with the general pattern of transmission.

After Mexico was conquered by the United States, its terrain was ideal for building resistance fortresses. The arid mountains and vast deserts, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, which allowed the Americans to launch a bloodbath against the United States from the southwestern corner, became a deep and inescapable fortress for the Americans.

No matter how many people they rush in, they will all perish in the raging mountains.

In this way, Li Xinghe completed the encirclement of the United States from all four sides.

In the northeast corner are the underground ratmen communists of New York, in the northwest are the forest beastmen of Canada, and in the southwest is the North Korean immigrant area, which plays the role of the mountain dwarfs and whose height is indeed not ideal.

It must be said that their skills in digging tunnels, building underground fortresses, mining, smelting, and farming, their short stature, their ability to hold grudges, their advanced combat skills, and their united organizational structure are indeed very characteristic of dwarves.

I wonder if dwarves who worship the sun raising their hands are praising the sun?

To the southeast lies Trump, a veteran with undiminished ambitions. Behind him lies the Republic of Haiti, controlled by soldiers dispatched by Li Xinghe, where Mandarin is now being spoken.

Li Xinghe is eloquent and persuasive.

"North Korea has nearly 30 million people living on such a small peninsula. It's time to move some of them to fight the Americans."

“I can subsidize every person who immigrates. If we can reach 30 immigrants, I will sponsor the general with a Boeing 737 business jet. I will ensure he flies comfortably.”

Nam Ho-nyeo, watching Lee Sung-ha incessantly recount the benefits he would bring to North Korea, grew increasingly annoyed.

"what about me?"

Li Xinghe immediately understood that the little girl was being coquettish.

So he picked up Nan Hao and kissed her: "You Lin, I Lin, I Lin, I'm empty, you Lin, are you here or not..."

"I'll sponsor you to have two more adorable little girls just like you."

The woman from the south half-heartedly resisted, pretending to struggle while secretly unbuttoning her skirt:

"She's pregnant..."

Li Xinghe made a move to pull his hand away, but Nan Haonu immediately bit his finger and grabbed him, preventing him from leaving.

"Don't go, five months is just the right time to stabilize the situation."

As she said this, Nan Hao lay down on Li Xinghe's desk, her small left leg and skirt naturally slipping down.

What could Li Xinghe say?

Gently part the little beauty's buttocks with tiger teeth, first gently guide her, then probe into her wet little hole, stimulating her grinding.

While comfortably sipping mugwort, Nam Ho-nyeo used her phone to send a request to General Kim to establish an American Korea on America's backside and build a resistance core in the mountain fortresses.

If you consider the United States as a person lying down and curled up, then the Baja California Peninsula is like an anal plug with a long, fluffy tail, inserted into the American's ass. Li Xinghe still values ​​this anal plug highly; as long as it's secure, even the slightest movement will make the American's ass go limp and unable to move.

Just like her now.

"Be gentle, you've misspelled the words!"

Nan Hao gritted her little tiger teeth and, with her body swaying, randomly tapped the phone screen.

Finally, my whole body went limp, my mind went blank, my little butt trembled with pleasure, and I let go of the device, giving up on sending it.

Upon hearing this news, the North Korean central government in Pyongyang hurriedly gathered for a meeting to discuss the important intelligence, only to find a string of garbled characters on the screen.

Everyone is confused.

Is the satellite signal weak?
