I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

However, Xinhua's response went unanswered, while America's allies displayed a "backbone" that was very much in line with Western standards.

"If the United States really goes to war with Xinhua, France will not join the nuclear war."

"Our British nuclear weapons are for self-defense, and we have no intention of getting involved in this conflict."

"This matter has nothing to do with Germany, and Germany is not involved?"

"Italy is willing to act as a mediator, but has no intention of intervening in this conflict."

Other NATO member states also began to issue statements, practically telling Xinhua: Your nuclear weapons shouldn't harm innocent people. NATO is a defensive organization with no intention of attacking. Don't misjudge us! Please don't misjudge us!!!

The allies' "righteous" behavior was so blatant that they were practically kicking him when he was down, which infuriated Meilian Zong.

But anger solves nothing; the US must choose between taking a hard line and acting in accordance with its conscience.

Then the US government chose to take a hard line.

Xinhua was wrong, I'm leaving!

Yes, the US Navy withdrew.

On the one hand, capitalists are indeed more afraid of death; on the other hand, the technological strength demonstrated by Xinhua has led American researchers to proclaim that it is invincible and to clearly state that once the war begins, their fleet will become a sitting duck.

The fact that the other side's aircraft were not displayed on the radar even when they were visible to the pilots meant that the US missiles were all just decorations, and their effect was even worse than that of rockets. However, the US military had absolutely no idea about the missile technology of Xinhua.

Putting everything else aside, in the current situation where the US Navy is at war with Xinhua in Cuban waters, the most optimistic scenario would be severely damaging one of Xinhua's aircraft carriers. If nuclear weapons were allowed to be used, sinking them wouldn't be a problem (according to the US military itself). But if nuclear weapons were actually used, can you bet that Xinhua didn't bring any, or even if they did, they wouldn't dare use them?

No, I really wouldn't dare. If even one missile were to land in the United States, let alone hit any core area, or even just explode over a city in a state, America's golden image would become a joke. The image of a god on earth built up during the Gulf War would instantly lose its health bar, and then the cost of maintaining the imperial hegemony would skyrocket.

It's a losing proposition from both sides, so why not choose a more dignified approach?

The US was tough back then because it had Kennedy, who inherited Roosevelt's policies, but Clinton was clearly not, and he didn't have that kind of courage.

Since that's the case, let's stop talking nonsense. It's better to be laughed at than to be bombarded with nuclear weapons.

As the old saying goes, if you don't work hard, how will you make money?

Section 16: Ms. Washington in America

"Unsurprisingly, this is the nature of America: a company that owns a nation."

Inside the DuPont family's estate villa, an elegantly dressed woman is gracefully sipping black tea, while opposite her stands the respectful William DuPont.

This person was originally from the most insignificant branch of the DuPont family, so insignificant that he had no right to inherit the family business.

But one day, this woman suddenly invited him to succeed her as head of the DuPont family.

The reason is very simple: all the other members of the DuPont family have been killed, and now he is the only member of the DuPont family with the right to inherit. Anyway, Ms. Washington just needs a puppet, so his original identity is not important at all. To put it bluntly, he could be replaced by a dog.

From slaughter to control, this woman, who shares a name with one of the founding fathers of the United States (not Louis VI, huh? Ironically), demonstrated extraordinary strength and skill. In just six months, the entire DuPont family was completely subservient to her. Because anyone who disobeyed was killed—their entire family was wiped out.

With the big stick already in place, the next step is naturally the sweet treat. Ms. Washington is a generous woman; as long as you work for her sincerely, you can receive a real reward. This is something she promised herself and has kept.

Who wouldn't want their boss to be like that? As for gender and age, they don't matter when it comes to power and profit; they'd be willing to give their hearts to Ms. Washington!

For William DuPont, the arrival of Ms. Washington was like the coming of an angel.

This woman indeed possessed an angelic face and unfathomable power.

As for his current status, please, his life before was completely different from now. Although he was just the nominal patriarch of the DuPont family and a puppet in reality, at least he was never short of money and could enjoy whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't go against Ms. Washington's will, what's wrong with being a dog? Woof woof woof!

Of course, as a representative of the DuPont family, William still needs to learn some things, otherwise how can he complete the task with high quality? Therefore, he has some understanding of the current political situation in the United States and naturally understands how incisive Ms. Washington's criticism is. This is the current state of America.

Won the Cold War? Please, the Soviet Union destroyed itself.

After criticizing the actions of the U.S. government, Ms. Washington issued new instructions.

“Let us shift our investments to Xinhua, where we can make more profits. As for the United States, we will move all the manufacturing industries away, leaving only the financial sector, and transfer all other business focus to Xinhua.”

"Yes, Ms. Washington."

William expressed no dissatisfaction or doubt whatsoever; it was not his concern.

With such a sensible person placed in the position of head of the DuPont family, one has to admit that Washington is very good at picking people.

After the others left, Mrs. Washington went to the window and murmured, "It's time to go see the Admiral with a gift."

With the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1994, the US government completely lost its ability to blockade Cuba. Xinhua's fleet began to enter and leave Cuba without restraint and began to conduct various trade with Cuba. This allowed Cuba's economy, which had been damaged by the collapse of the Soviet Union, to recover at an extremely fast pace.

One thing you have to admit is that Cuba is incredibly resilient. Without the intervention of the US government, the country would have become prosperous on its own. The locals are not incompetent or lack courage; their suffering is entirely caused by imperialist colonization, which is fundamentally different from Haiti, which is completely rotten.

Haiti, oh Haiti, what a unique country.

It is clear that not every country and nation in this world deserves its own heroes and history; most simply fade into obscurity in the long river of history.

Latest little-known fact: Our history spans eight thousand years. If we continue our efforts, it's very likely that only one of the four ancient civilizations will remain. After all, Western archaeology... those who know, know.

This makes one seriously doubt the credibility of the other three of the four ancient civilizations.

The moisture content is likely to be quite high.

For the US government, this meant losing Cuba, having their own backyard snatched away. For Americans, whose homeland hadn't been attacked much, this was truly a cause for constant anxiety.

But that's okay. Just like the first time, it will hurt, bleed, and feel uncomfortable at first. But as long as you go in and out a few more times, the other person will take your shape. The key is the frequency, number of times, and size.

This refers to a carrier strike group patrol; those who have impure thoughts should go stand in the corner.

While the world secretly despised the United States for its apparent inaction, it also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there was no nuclear war, and the world remains peaceful and prosperous.

But the US government will soon realize what losing Cuba means.

The Soviet Union might have only deployed some submarines here, but Qinshan will deploy players here—a lot of players—and these players will use Cuba as a base to begin exporting revolution throughout the Americas.

However, before the players who went to the Americas began their activities, the players who had already entered the former Soviet republics had begun a revolutionary movement that turned the world upside down. Centered on the three cities of Kiev, Moscow, and Berlin, a new revolutionary trend that swept across Europe was unfolding in full force.

In short: Georgian macho Caucasian classical finance.

Translated: Robin Hood-like behavior: robbing the rich to help the poor.

If Comrade Stalin could fleece capitalists, why can't players who care about the world do the same?

Streetlight ornaments, it's time to collect coins!

In the former East Germany, near a car manufacturing plant, a voice asked, "Are you sure they're here?"

"I'm absolutely certain, and quite a few people have come."

"Great, that saves us trouble. Let's send their whole family on their way!"

"But if we just act like this, we probably won't be able to raise much money."

"First, we'll take down these large streetlight fixtures, and then they'll start fighting amongst themselves over the profits."

"Isn't this plan a bit too simplistic?"

"The most effective plan is the simplest and most effective one; it's all about surprise attacks."

"Understood. Now, let's prepare to take action."

Soon, the battle began, with an infantry fighting vehicle crashing into the gathering of West German capitalists.

Their purpose in coming here was to acquire, or rather, to seize, valuable assets from East Germany. They were clinking glasses and celebrating their impending profits when a BMP-2 armored vehicle charged in...

They came in.

A capitalist who values ​​his life would certainly have bodyguards, but the question is, what bodyguard could stop a BMP-2?! This question is beyond my comprehension!

After the BMP-2 pilots vaporized several streetlight ornaments that tried to escape with a few shots, the remaining capitalists strangely gave French military salutes, and some even lost control of their bladders on the spot. The scene was quite awful.

"Very good, all the big fish are here, take them all."

Section 17: "Players" in Action

"Reinforcements? We need reinforcements! The more the better!"

"The police are useless; we need the army, we need tanks and armored vehicles!"

"What?! The army was attacked too? East Germany has rebelled?!"

"Can someone explain what exactly happened?!"

With players' actions, which were not particularly sophisticated but certainly quite insane, the whole of Germany was thrown into chaos. There were already a lot of internal problems after the reunification of East and West Germany. The reason they did not erupt all at once was because Germany benefited from the collapse of the Soviet Union. In addition, East Germany had its own interests and created a seemingly humane welfare system, which suppressed many conflicts. Over time, with more than a decade of benefits from the Soviet Union, the reunification of East and West Germany was finally completed smoothly.

However, at this point in time, the situation in East Germany can only be described as not having any conflicts, not that there were no conflicts. But if someone were to set off a firecracker in the powder keg of conflict, that would be a different story.

Qinshan sent out players for this purpose: even if they couldn't do anything, they could still cause trouble.

For a country, the most important thing is stability. Development and order both arise on the basis of stability. If stability cannot be guaranteed, then everything else is in vain.

So what did the players do?

They attacked West Germany under the guise of East Germany, and then attacked East Germany under the guise of West Germany, telling both sides that the other was going to carry out a major purge, while constantly assassinating high-ranking officials on both sides.

This is absolutely necessary because high-ranking military officers and politicians often have access to more information, and a lot of intelligence converges on them. Anyone with a sound mind can spot problems. But if they die, the vacant positions can't be handed over quickly enough. Even if they are handed over, the lower-level personnel will have to adapt; they can't simply work with the mastermind controlling the swarm.

Okay, the next instruction will make everything OK.

Why is a decapitation strike so cost-effective? This is the reason.

At this point, not only could people within Germany not find their living superiors, but they could not effectively contact high-ranking German officials even from abroad.

The crazed players conducted a precise, genealogical purge of members of the German parliament, killing off large numbers of them. The information deliberately leaked by the players mostly contained extremely harsh terms such as "anti-revolutionary purge" and "purification of the 'purity of capitalism'." The outside world's initial reaction was that West Germany was trying to cleanse East Germany, and the East Germans, unwilling to sit idly by, fought back. Now the two sides are fighting, and Germany is about to enter civil war!

No, it's not a civil war anymore, it's already started—the East-West German War!

Even US troops stationed in Germany were attacked, but the attack was quickly escalated into a state of war.

Have you ever seen an entire armored division attack? That's an act of war!

If Germany goes into civil war, then the first to suffer will be...

It must be foreign troops stationed here. East and West Germany teaming up to beat them up—is there any justice in this world?!

Actually, it started with players slightly inciting some troops to attack foreign troops stationed in Germany. However, because the two sides were flying the flags of East Germany and West Germany respectively, more and more local troops were drawn in, eventually turning into a joint effort between East and West Germany to completely eliminate the US military.

Who told the US military to act so inhumanely in the area? Did they really think the title of "virgin terminator" was just for show? They actually did it with real guns and ammunition. In terms of shooting and exploding, the US is even more explosive than a small-time stunt (American underground films are a prime example of the lowest limits of humanity).

The final result was that in 1994, the two US divisions stationed in Germany were completely wiped out, with no one surviving.

This is just a historical tragedy. Anyway, the victors will pin the blame on the losers and then express their condolences. If the US government can't accept it, the new German government will send them origami cranes, and you can choose the colors yourself.

After Germany descended into chaos, Poland was undoubtedly the most excited. Now that the Soviet Union has collapsed, Russia is in a state of shock, and Germany is in a state of civil war, could it be that the legendary era of "pacifying independence, suppressing Russia, and defeating Poland" is about to arrive?

The more I think about it, the more excited I get. Fortune turns, and it's time for Poland to prove itself. The Polish-Lithuanian Grand Duchy (the classic Polish Winged Hussars were born during this period) – let's get started!

Don't be ridiculous. When Qin Shan started targeting Europe, Eastern European countries were his primary focus. The new Soviet Union needed their reintegration, but before that, he needed to make them understand that capitalism could not provide them with order and stability, and that socialism and the future communism were their only options.

Therefore, Poland has no chance, because the players have already started to act.

The next day, the news, which was quite explosive for the whole world, made the front page of newspapers in various countries.

The Polish Communists were all killed.

Yes, literally, they were all killed, leaving no one alive, including former members of the Polish Communist Party. The reason given was that they were not loyal enough to the Polish Communist Party, and that capitalist Poland did not need the remnants of the Soviet era; they had to be completely purged.

Under normal circumstances, the Polish government would definitely come out to explain. Although they also want to get rid of the Polish Communist Party and let the new capitalists, oligarchs and compradors take more and more, and let them inherit their positions, this is not fifty years ago when they were shouting for war. The new order cannot be maintained by killing, because that would be tantamount to telling others that a new round of reshuffling is about to begin, and a full-scale battle royale mode is about to begin.

But this is an abnormal situation. The player has already killed the newly elected Polish president and replaced him with one of their own, whom they have already customized. The next step is to escalate the conflict.

However, some observant people have noticed that although those killed were all members of the Polish Communist Party, they were all members of the Polish Communist Party who had betrayed the party, as well as members of the Polish Communist Party who, on the surface, had not betrayed the party, but had secretly begun to collude with the "streetlight cloaks" (a derogatory term for members of the Polish Communist Party). However, these discoveries are meaningless to the already chaotic situation in Poland. The surviving members of the Polish Communist Party would not think that way. They would believe that the newly established capitalist party wanted to settle scores with them and launch a white terror.

The methods used by the players were so horrific that the heads of the Polish Communist Party members who were killed were cut off and hung on lampposts, reminiscent of Chiang Kai-shek's imprisonment in the past, which greatly aroused the Polish people.

Immediately afterwards, the player, acting as the Polish president, delivers a national address. The main stage is located in a square in Warsaw, surrounded by a crowd listening. Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the Polish president declares that he will "thoroughly eradicate the poison of the Soviet era and give the Polish people a new world belonging to the free world."

Now that he's said that, wow, it's confirmed—it was the current Polish capitalist government that did it.

Alright, alright, is this how you play the game? You really think our Polish Communist Party won't resist?

At that very moment, under the watchful eyes of the public, the Polish president, who was giving a passionate speech, suddenly had a sudden inspiration.

Yes, he died.

After a brief silence, order at the scene quickly spiraled out of control, with over 10,000 people killed or injured in the stampede that day. This also marked the beginning of a full-blown battle for survival between the red and blue factions within Poland.

These were all orchestrated by the players themselves, but it doesn't matter anymore. The Polish Communist Party won't listen to the capitalist government's explanations. To them, this is capitalism's persistent attempt to destroy them. As for the new Polish government, the Polish Communist Party has already demonstrated its determination to fight to the end through the assassination of the president. Neither side can turn back now.

Meanwhile, players are assassinating anyone willing to communicate on both sides. To confuse the issue, even the most extreme hawks are being killed. In any case, they have to fight it out; how could the annual drama be complete without Poland?

With Germany and Poland successively launching civil wars, the whole of Europe was thrown into chaos, and the United States was in the most chaotic state.

One important NATO member state here, a NATO member state that will definitely develop in the future, is one where the United States has not yet degenerated to the point of needing to shamelessly exploit its allies. Yes, they were indeed hostile to the rise of the European Union and subsequently launched the Kosovo War, but that was after they had almost completely drained the Soviet legacy. What the United States needs now is a relatively stable Europe, especially before it finishes exploiting the Soviet Union. It must not be chaotic, because chaos will give the communist parties of various countries an opportunity. Haven't you seen those red-headed people getting stronger the more they fight? Let them decay to the point of being completely beyond saving before talking about anything else, rather than NATO starting a civil war before the spoils have even been divided.
