Even Sid Meier Looks Down on You!

"That guy Trudeau..."

While the chieftain of Can*da was being brutally raped by A Chuan, Kang De was catching up on his studies.

Senior Colonel Tian frowned, hesitating to speak, "Out of basic respect and courtesy, I shouldn't be making such a harsh assessment of a country's leader..."

Kang De raised his hand and said, "Please summarize it in one sentence."

Senior Colonel Tian hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "As the national leader of Can*da, he is handsome, has an excellent appearance, easily attracts attention, and can make people listen to his opinions. He is white."

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"... That's it?"

"That's all."

Kang De raised an eyebrow. "... You mean, this is a piece of iron waste?"

Senior Colonel Tian said in a low voice, "I didn't say that."

"So what are you going to say?"

"Mr. Trudeau lacks experience in political talent, interpersonal skills, governing ability, ability to recognize and appoint capable people, decisiveness, and handling criticism."

"You guys have a nicer way of speaking."

"Not at all, we really admire you. You can say whatever you want without fear of being beaten to death."

The two exchanged a glance, Senior Colonel Tian casually turned his head away.

Kang De smiled sarcastically and lowered his head to continue reading the documents.

He was reading about Trudeau, as well as dirt on Can*da and the China.

It helps to accumulate rage points.

The Parrot is controlling Titan, causing trouble all over the nuclear power plant. If Trudeau decides to call for help, he'll definitely make a second call... The question is, who instigated this idea of calling for help?

As Kang De read, his mind raced.

--Round Table, is that you?

The Can*da is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the British Round Table is the origin and headquarters of the Round Table.

In other words, it's not surprising that Canada has Round Table Organization and that it instigated Trudeau.

The Battle of London shocked many nations, after all, it was a leapfrog operation by an entire army of superhumans, but the most shocked were probably the ancient superhuman organizations hidden in the Shadow of the world... If official and civilian superhumans from Can*da were to participate in the Titan incident, it would be reasonable.

As he was pondering this, the phone rang. An intelligence officer answered it, immediately covered the receiver and said a few words. Senior Colonel Tian rushed over. "Kang De, it's calling again."

Kang De tossed the documents aside, his spirits lifting. "Give it to me! I just learned ten Can*da swear words!"

Senior Colonel Tian's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Trudeau is quite clever. He just called the Navy, begging his superiors to intervene, saying a lot of conciliatory things, and making some conditions and concessions..."

Kang De asked warily, "What, it's settled already?"

"Of course not, after all, we have to take your opinion into account," Senior Colonel Tian said. "Trudeau naturally hopes that the country will speak with you and ask you to come, but how can the higher-ups let go of such a good opportunity to extort money? Besides, even when it comes to our own country's affairs, we have to consider your personal feelings when asking you to come forward. What is he, Can*da, that we owe you a favor?"

"That's right, I'm relieved that the adults are so knowledgeable," Kang De said approvingly. "So, what do you mean?"

"Trudeau agreed to some trivial face-saving issues, namely that when anti-China voices rise in Can*da, he must maintain some control and not let it run rampant; at least he must make a gesture."

Senior Colonel Tian explained, "Of course, this is just a minor concession, so we've only agreed to a small, insignificant condition. We hope you'll cooperate."

Kang De glanced sideways and asked, "What?"

"... Don't swear," Senior Colonel Tian said with a strange expression. "Don't bring up his biological father or his stepfather's issues."

Kang De, a model student of manners and a recipient of the "Four Good Qualities" award in the new era and a five-time consecutive winner of the "Model of Courtesy" in his elementary school class, retorted angrily, "On such an important matter of principle, you only offer this small concession? How did you even negotiate?!"

"Calm down, calm down. After all, he's a national leader; we should give him some face," Senior Colonel Tian advised. "Besides, you're a prominent figure globally, and you might shoulder even greater responsibilities in the future. When dealing with these Western leaders, you still need to be mindful of your image..."

Kang De angrily retorted, "He hung up on me, and you expect me to give him face? No way! I'm going to..."

Senior Colonel Tian was extremely troubled by the situation. He pleaded, "Don't insult his family members, don't make personal attacks, and don't use any vulgar language. Just don't make things too ugly. Do us a favor. After all, Trudeau has already fought his way into the sea. We can't just stand by and watch him be humiliated by you, can we?"

Kang De's gaze shifted uncertainly.

Senior Colonel Tian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Telling the truth doesn't count as insulting someone."

"..."

"..."

Kang De immediately went from anger to joy. "That makes sense, that makes sense!"

Seeing that the old man had been calmed down, Senior Colonel Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't entirely agree with the above suggestion.

After all, it wasn't worth going against Kang De's wishes over such a small matter. Besides, they also had a tiny, insignificant personal motive: they were also somewhat inclined to record an episode titled "Kang De Rebukes Trudeau".

Ambassador Liu's film, "Kang De Rebukes Grand Secretary Yue," was naturally sent to the foreign affairs department. The department watched it in private and laughed hysterically, while other departments that wanted to see it made excuses.

Having finally managed to get through to the door, they still acted arrogantly, putting on an extremely high posture. As one of the victims, Senior Colonel Tian naturally wanted to retaliate.

After reaching an agreement with Kang De, Trudeau finally answered the phone.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Kang De, there was a communication problem just now." The Prime Minister's voice sounded somewhat uneasy. "I called back as soon as the problem was resolved. I hope you don't mind."

Kang De smiled and said, "Oh no, my friend, of course I don't mind. After all, even your state-owned telecommunications company's official leaf shops suffer huge losses, so I have no hope for the business quality and management level of your state-owned telecommunications company."

These words were so gentle that Trudeau was flattered and could only manage an awkward laugh, unable to get angry at all.

He had been tricked by A Chuan before, and even though he was furious but powerless, he still had to obey.

Can*da can retaliate against the Amerikkka's increased tariffs and wield the tariff weapon in a tit-for-tat manner, but in the nuclear power plant incident, it has no bargaining power or leverage.

Trudeau said sincerely, "Mr. Kang De, Chairman of AWSL, Can*da is facing danger, and I can only omit the tedious diplomatic rhetoric. I have heard your story, I know your miraculous power, and now, my country needs your help..."

"A mysterious and brutal monster is destroying our nuclear power plant. The potential nuclear leak could affect the health and lives of tens of millions in the Lake Huron. Our army is fighting bravely but cannot defeat it, because they are facing an incomprehensible enemy. Therefore, I can only ask for your help. You can consider this a business deal. The Can*da is ready to sign a contract with AWSL Company. You will receive generous compensation and the great friendship of a democratic nation..."

"--Before we get to that."

Kang De picked at his ear; the words "democratic country" triggered a bit of PTSD in him.

The extraordinary individual cut to the chase. "I would like to ask you, who instructed you to seek my help?"

Trudeau paused for a moment, then answered directly, "It's President Donald Trump."

Hold.

How could it be A Chuan!?

Kang De was initially puzzled, then became alert and fell into deep thought.

Did A Chuan see through my plan? No, that's impossible!

But why would he direct Trudeau to come find me?

And he doesn't mind Trudeau?

Is this some kind of hint? Or a warning? Is it a test?

The Amerikkka, couldn't possibly be that terrifying!

As he pondered, upon hearing Kang De's silence, Trudeau assumed that the prestige of the Amerikkka president had intimidated this China rascal, and couldn't help but secretly applaud his own answer.

Trudeau pressed his advantage. "I'm on good terms with A Chuan, and he suggested I seek your help..."

Upon hearing this, Kang De subconsciously replied, "I can see that. As a China person, I pay some attention to international politics and have made a point of learning about you and President A Chuan. I must say, as the heads of state of the United States and Canada, you have one significant thing in common."

Trudeau, then laughed and said, "We are all defenders of the free world?"

"No, that's not it."

"... So, we are all brave people who are unafraid of criticism for the sake of our ambitions?"

"Ha, Can*da has quite a sense of humor."

"We can't all be white, can we?"

"Macron Grand Secretary Yue are both white, but this commonality is unique to you and A Chuan."

Please tell me the answer.

"It's very simple, that is, as the leaders of the United States and Canada..." Kang De lowered his voice mysteriously, "--you all agree on United States First."

The staff members, unable to contain themselves any longer, stammered and tried to suppress their laughter.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Let's get down to business.

Trudeau ignored the previous topic. "Can*da wants to hire your company..."

"Wait, wait, sir, before we begin, I have a question for you. You want to do business with AWSL Company..." he inquired, "Is that alright?"

"What? I don't understand what you mean."

"That's right," Kang De said honestly. "You may not know this, but our company has a background with China Japanese military and has intricate connections with the China government. Most of our employees are from China official backgrounds, and we receive funding and support from the China government."

"We will launch global operations for the national interests of China. In any country, we will not fairly and honestly abide by the local market order, but will only consider the interests of China and ourselves. For this reason, we may deceive, lie, rob, steal, kill, frame others, and may also trample on local laws with impunity. Do you now understand what kind of company AWSL is?"

The honest China man earnestly asked, "So, do you still want to do business with us now?"

A long silence followed on the other end of the phone.

It seems that Mr. Justin Trudeau has never spoken to someone like that before.

To the point that they didn't know how to deal with it.

After a long pause, he said uncertainly, "... I think so."

Kang De slammed his hand on the table.

"This won't do!" he exclaimed, spitting as he spoke. "I, the chairman of AWSL, have personally acknowledged our company's relationship with the China government to the defenders of the free world. According to your usual methods, you should cancel orders, ban all transactions, and blacklist us."

Trudeau finally understood, and thankfully he still had some quick wit. "Mr. Kang De, the University of California, Can*da is a sovereign state with an independent judiciary..."

Kang De chuckled.

The other party pretended not to hear. "We will not take your one-sided words and claims as evidence. Instead, we will conduct a rigorous investigation before drawing a conclusion. Whether your company has any abnormal connection with China Chai Na Ga Wo Men will be determined and judged by our relevant departments. Until then, we can still do business."

Wow.

Is this what a capitalist country with its clear-cut black-and-white views, contractual spirit, and liberal democracy is like?

"I see."

Kang De patted his chest. "That puts my mind at ease. I was worried that if I ever had to travel abroad or transit through the Can*da, I would be detained without hesitation."

Trudeau understood again.

He said, "I see. If the nuclear power plant issue is resolved smoothly, I will use my power to request the court to expedite Ms. Meng's case so that this matter can have a good outcome."

"No need, Mr. Prime Minister," Kang De said calmly. "If I wanted to bring that lady back, she'd be in the capital in the next second, and my Xiangpiaopiao milk tea wouldn't even get cold. But I won't do that, and this matter has nothing to do with her. She's already suffered enough; a little more time won't make a difference. And bringing her home like this isn't the outcome we want..."

He tapped the table and said softly, "After all, we want you to kneel down and admit your mistake, return her with dignity, and offer the most sincere apology and the largest possible compensation."

Upon hearing Trudeau emphasized, "Mr. Kang De!"

"Since you want to do business, then let's do it," Kang De said loudly. "Since it's business, one party provides the money, and the other does the work. You said you'd give me sufficient compensation, so I'll name my price. Justin Trudeau, there are two price options; you choose one."

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone. "... What plan?"

"The first option is a fixed price. You give me the money, and I'll get started immediately."

"The second option is for our company's professionals to conduct precise calculations and provide you with a price list. They will explain why it's worth so much money."

Trudeau replied, "I want to hear it all."

"The first proposal asks for 1.2 trillion yuan," Kang De said calmly. "That's Huawei's valuation last year. Although it's ranked by Hurun, I don't think it's that low, but I don't have more accurate data, and I'm not that particular, so let's go with this... Isn't that reasonable?"

On Trudeau, there seemed to be the sound of writing, followed by the Prime Minister's shocked and angry voice. "Mr. Kang De, I have very sincerely wanted to discuss this matter with you..."

If you can't accept that, let's hear about another option.

Kang De's tone remained calm. "My team will calculate your country's expenses incurred due to the destruction of the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant and its subsequent leakage into Lake Huron, in accordance with your country's precedents and laws."

"The costs of relocating surrounding residents, settling their money, factory shutdowns, economic damage, industrial destruction due to nuclear contamination, skyrocketing medical expenses, and the loss of military equipment must all be factored in."

"As well as..."

Kang De sneered, "The anger and demands from the more greedy and affected Amerikkka."

"In short, my reliable and intelligent team will provide a detailed breakdown of all the expenses incurred by Can*da for this, which will serve as the basis for my compensation for taking action and mitigating your losses."

He tapped the table. "Since you told me two jokes today, I'll give you a 20% discount."

They were speechless on the other end.

All that could be heard was the Prime Minister's heavy breathing, like a bellows.

"This is not a sincere offer at all..."

"Let me make this clear first, I don't want the paper printed by A Chuan."

Kang De interrupted him, "The compensation for the Can*da construction can be secured by customs revenue, with priority given to offsetting it with your valuable state-owned assets. Given that you have already crippled almost all valuable industries, then use natural resources as collateral. Mines and oil resources are limited, and timber will also work, but we don't want leaf plantations; you can keep them for yourselves."

" --Kang De!"

It seems that every dialogue between Western world leaders and Kang De devolves into this angry roar; they are accustomed to the existing rules of the game and unable to adapt to the new challenges posed by people of another skin color.

Trudeau retorted angrily, "Don't humiliate a Civilization nation like this!"

"Civilization nation? What are you pretending for? You barely managed to become a nation in Civilization VI, and even Sid Meier looks down on you!"

"..."What is that?

The Prime Minister roared, "This kind of extortion is unacceptable!"

"Then you'll have to figure it out yourself," Kang De said calmly. "Our company favors free trade. If you can't stand this price, you can go find another bank."

Who could stand that! Two hundred billion US dollars—enough for A Chuan to lead troops to the front lines himself!

"You have no sincerity whatsoever, you're just insulting us!" Trudeau wanted to hang up, but remembering A Chuan's roar, he hesitated. "Kang De, you may Can*da, but the people are innocent. Let's put aside our prejudices and discuss some more valuable things—politics is very complex, and sometimes I have no choice. I hope you can understand, instead of..."

"Then we have nothing to talk about. Besides, I wasn't insulting you."

Kang De said, "As a former industrial and military power, you have now fallen to the level of a third-rate country that sells resources, and you are even unable to defend your own territory. Who is insulting yourselves?"

"You could have easily China US and American Empire, but you insisted on putting all your eggs in one basket. Now that you're in trouble, you come to us for help. But think back to what you've done for us. What reason do we have to help you without hesitation? Mr. Prime Minister, times have changed."

He stood up, leaned on the table, and spoke into the telephone in front of him.

"A defense agreement, the neighboring country's unparalleled naval and air power, and its superior geographical location might protect Can*da from invasion by another powerful nation, but times have changed. The nation's crisis is no longer from hostile nations invading from the sea and air. The American Empire can only confront that. The one who can rescue you from dangerous, extraordinary invasion and stabilize your regime..."

Kang De paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "It is me, it is us."

The entire intelligence operations room was completely silent. The camera faithfully recorded everything. Senior Colonel Tian held his breath and looked at Kang De, then at the five-star Hongqi hanging behind him.

Senior Colonel Tian felt a surge of emotion.

He suddenly realized Kang De's intention.

They realized the profound impact this event could have, even signifying a subtle shift in the international landscape... because times have indeed changed.

There is a kind of protection that the American Empire may find difficult to provide.

But China can.

"Hopefully, what happened on the Lake Huron will make you, your staff, your party, your Congress that constantly clamors for anti-China legislation, and some of your good friends internationally aware of this."

"You may not need a new ally, but you should find a new father."

He raised his hand and hung up the phone.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he turned and left as if nothing had happened. Those who passed by instinctively avoided his gaze, feeling that Kang De had become a complete stranger.

As he passed Senior Colonel Tian, Kang De said casually, "Please tell the country that you can Trudeau."

Senior Colonel Tian, quick-witted, instinctively stood at attention.

He said, "Yes!"
