At the end of the day, in East Africa's and America's eyes, Europe was still easier to deal with. Since neither country could bring the other down, they might as well collude like wolves and jackals. East Africa and America each held hegemony over a continent, and compared with the Eurasian continent, both occupied relatively "secluded corners."
One could well imagine that if the two countries became direct enemies, it would be an even more exhausting and troublesome affair than the America-Soviet Union rivalry of the previous life.
During the America-Soviet Union rivalry, America could still trip the Soviet Union at every turn, incite the countries around it to wear down Soviet national strength, and gradually dismantle its military advantage.
There was no shortage of players on the Eurasian continent, and every country had a long history; their ancestors had all once been glorious. Thus, none of them accepted another's supremacy. The European nations were the most typical example. They despised the Slavs, regarding them as "barbarians."
Between themselves, they were forever invoking "century-old blood feuds." Leaving aside the grand drama of love and hatred among Britain, France, and Germany, even the intrigues, alliances, and counter-alliances among the countries of the tiny Balkan Peninsula were impossible to fully recount.
Asia's historical, national, religious, and cultural disputes were even more spectacular than Europe's.
Only the Far East region had remained relatively stable, thanks to the historical presence of the Far East Empire as its "big brother." At least in terms of order, it had long suppressed a host of neighboring countries harboring sinister designs.
However, the Far East Empire's influence had, since ancient times, been confined to East Asia and Southeast Asia. Asia was vast; beyond those two regions, there were also the Middle East, South Asia, and Central Asia.
