Chuong: This duo symbolizes the historical time when Vietnam was a part of China. Then came the rise of the brutal Yuan Dynasty, where despite their army of armored horses and well-equipped armored troops, failed to conquer Vietnam three times.
Jack: Which is incredible for the Vietnamese military at the time since they only had limited resources. However, their homeland advantage with the jungles is what gave them the ultimate victory against their enemies. This is also true for America, during our colonial days, where our forests provided our troops cover against the British military at the time.
Alexis: Except we helped you beat the British. After that, there was the Louisiana Purchase, in which Napoleon sold off a big chunk of land to you to fund our revolution. At the time, you basically owe a huge thanks to us, which was of course paid off when you saved us from the Nazis during WWII.
Zax: The 20th century was a wild ride. We fought in Vietnam to fight against communism only to learn that their major goal is national independence. After that, their last war was with China and they won. Soon, Vietnam was on a quick road to recovery and decided to become a key ally of ours. Today, our relations with Vietnam is closer than ever!
Chuong: Don't forget the unexpected overthrow of Jinping for Liu to take his place as President of China. Our relations with America and China together has been smooth sailing since then. Luong, Liu, and Leo. I never thought I'd see them as presidents of their respective countries simultaneously but they really made the world a much better place to live in.

Sandstormer: Is that why you are Luong the Hidden Lion? I see you!
Luong: That's the question I get asked the most, and I get that joke a lot. But I don't mind. And yes, that is exactly why I am Luong the Hidden Lion. Everything Jack said is the truth.
Cripto: Is that the dynasty of your time period, Liu?
Liu: No, it isn't. Good guess, though. My period is the Qing Dynasty, which historians credit 1636 as the beginning and 1912 as the ending. The Yuan dynasty happened from 1271 to 1368. Thus, we had the Mongols attacking Vietnam, and they failed.
