Working as a police officer in Mexico.

Chapter 576 Chapter 575: Since ancient times...

"A letter to the descendants of free men in the thirteen states and to people of conscience throughout the world." As soon as it came out.

The whole world is in turmoil.

On June 6, Louisiana announced that it had joined the "Anti-Pentagon Alliance."

On June 6, Arkansas and Mississippi also announced that they would respect Paul Constantine Stuart of the "Republic of Texas" as the leader of the alliance and work together to accomplish great things.

On June 6, South Dakota and the newly independent state of Hawaii also joined in and expelled the rebels from the country under the slogan of "restoring the American system and restoring democracy."

In less than a week, this alliance that seemed like a joke turned the Pentagon into a joke!
In the Pentagon.

Deputy Defense Secretary Calvin Waller was standing in the conference room, summarizing a document. "In the past three months, we have sold more than 600 tons of drugs through global channels, earning more than 1123 billion U.S. dollars..."

The "partners" sitting below had ruddy complexions and bright eyes. Although the money had to be shared with many people, they could still get a lot.

It’s higher than what they have earned in the past decade or so.

It would be harder to ask them to stop now than to kill them all.

Calvin Waller was also in a good mood. He glanced at Defense Secretary Norman Schwarzkopf, who had no expression on his face and even a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Norman, Norman..." he called softly.

The next second, his eyes suddenly widened, and he saw Defense Minister Norman Schwarzkopf suddenly stand up and slam the table vigorously, "This is too much, this is too much!"

Talking, talking...

The tone became aggrieved.

This scene shocked everyone. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do, but Calvin Waller, his right-hand man, knew why.

Once the anti-"Norman" alliance emerged, his life became increasingly difficult, especially with Carter's authorization. Although the presidency is now just an empty title, the "halo" is still there, and many people still care about this orthodoxy.

After about three or five minutes, Norman Schwarzkopf adjusted himself and tapped the table with his hand, "Gentlemen, are you happy to make money?"

No one dared to give a direct answer.

"I'm also very happy. I got $1 million from this. Damn, it was faster than robbery."

"But I'm afraid these businesses will be like the moon in the water. Before long, they won't even belong to us."

As soon as he said this, the partners who were united by their interests panicked...

"Why do you say that, sir?" someone asked.

"Didn't you watch the news? Those ungrateful bastards formed an anti-Norman alliance. They plan to knock me down. If I fall, where will you go to make money? Do you think it will be your turn to share the cake after the new batch is replaced?"

In fact, everyone present knows what happened outside recently...

They are not all stupid. From those little things, you can feel that a storm is brewing. But there are also some people who just want to make a quick buck and run away. However, when the money is really in their hands, no one will be willing to let it go.

Like licking a dog...

You keep saying, just lick it once, and then your goddess gets a boyfriend and you have to cheer for others.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Kraft Waters, looked at Norman Schwarzkopf. He certainly knew why the latter said that, he wanted to borrow everyone's strength to resist.

"What are you going to do?"

"This is the intelligence we got from the CIA. In addition to the states, many cults, rebel organizations, and armed groups have emerged. In less than three months since Texas' independence, more than 600 armed groups have emerged, ranging from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of people. The small ones occupy the mountains and become kings, while the big ones have begun to capture cities and collect taxes privately..."

"Many big business owners and farmers are suffering!"

"The National Agricultural Association and the American Entrepreneurs Association have contacted me. They hope that our military can give them the power to recruit armed caravans on their own. They want to protect their land and business sectors."

! ! ! !
! ! ! !
Own armed forces?

Deputy Secretary of Defense Calvin Waller and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Kraft Waters were both stunned by this.

Especially the latter, he is a famous China expert, he knows that when power is decentralized, that's when it will become rampant, especially when military power is decentralized, then it's all over.

Why did many heroes rise up at the end of the Han Dynasty?
One reason is to allow powerful people to form their own troops.

These big farmers and business owners have plenty of money. As long as they get the appointment letter and the promise, it won't be long before the elite within the military are poached. With this kind of growth and decline, what is the use of the Pentagon?

"No, this is absolutely not possible, Norman. This is slow suicide." Kraft Waters shook his head vigorously and said, "If we hand over the military power to them, can you guarantee that they will not come to attack us?"

"The Entrepreneurs Association and the Farmers Association will each give us $60 billion a year and promise to be on the same page with us on all matters. I agreed," Norman Schwarzkopf said.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was so angry that he laughed. "Can we believe what they say? We don't lack the 120 billion US dollars. As long as we control the military power, we can control everything. It's not money that creates violence, but violence that drives money. Don't get it confused!!"

Perhaps it was this tone that made the other party very dissatisfied. Norman Schwarzkopf raised his head and said, "Then what do you say? Can you reject them? Will you reject them? In the United States, no one can reject the warnings brought by these two associations."

"I promised them, but I also limited the number of people they could recruit to no more than 1000. This number of armed forces cannot cause a big wave in the United States."

Norman Schwarzkopf saw that the other party wanted to speak, so he waved his hand impatiently, "Enough, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I have the final say."

"Also, since those independent states have declared rebellion, we don't have to be polite. We will order our troops to be on war footing and conduct all-round bombing of major cities in Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, and other regions. We will also demand that other states enter a state of war."

"The best way to wipe out the rebels is to kill them with the same means!"

After Norman Schwarzkopf finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and left without looking back.

After he left, other people gradually stood up. Those who knew each other lowered their heads and talked to each other, while more people had gloomy and serious expressions.

When only Deputy Defense Secretary Calvin Waller and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Kraft Waters were left in the conference room, the latter held his head with a look of regret, "It was a mistake for me to accept this position. Norman is such an arrogant person. Did he inform us or discuss it with us? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?"

"We offended Congress, and maybe ... he doesn't want to offend other organizations."

Calvin Waller was quiet for a moment. Although he was disappointed, he still explained for the other party.

"What we want to do is dictatorship! Those business owners are unarmed, and in the end, they will be our ATMs!!"

The Deputy Defense Minister looked at the emotional Kraft Waters and said something, very softly, but it instantly calmed the other person down.

"Kraft, you have also worked for Raytheon and Boeing, and you are also a representative of large business owners..."

Just these words left the other party speechless. Elite education cultivates the ruling class, and the ruling class itself is internal circulation. Who in the American system does not have a background?

Even Norman Schwarzkopf is the "Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association." Well... when he was in office, he listed the other party as a terrorist organization. So what?
It's just a constant flow of benefits to each other.

and so…

In the United States, there are basically no vegans.

"You have to understand him in some things."

Kraft Waters lowered his head and gritted his teeth. "But that's not the reality, is it?"

"It's no use telling me that I'm just the deputy defense minister."

The argument suddenly lost its meaning because of this sentence.

The initiative has never been in the hands of either of them.

What else is there to argue about?

……

1993 6 Month 13 Day.

The Pentagon announced that it had no choice but to enter a state of civil war. In order to maintain social stability and the stability of the financial order, it allowed companies and farmers to independently recruit armed forces of no more than 1000 people to eliminate local rebels, cults, and various extreme left organizations.

This news quickly became a hot topic.

On the Internet, Victor commented on his social media:

"Hats off to the great Norman Schwarzkopf and the brilliant Pentagon!"

It’s just that the words “great” and “clever” are in quotation marks, sounding sarcastic.

A group of media watching the fun began to convey his words to Norman Schwarzkopf, who looked slightly gloomy, "Then he should be humble. Young people should be grateful. Especially, you should know that without the help of the United States, Mexico could not even establish a country. Now they can achieve such success without our help. Victor should say thank you."

Mexico City, National Palace, Round Table Conference Room.

Victor threw the newspaper on the table and sighed. "I always thought my opponent was a smart man. He always kept himself calm, even indifferent, and didn't want to be conceited. But I never thought that Norman Schwarzkopf would dig his own grave."

"Chris, tell me the conclusion of your think tank."

He shouted, and everyone looked at the people sitting in the back.

In addition to the Mexican high-level officials, there were also some Asian faces present. The number was small, about four or five people, but they were not simple. They were the "think tank" formed by Victor. In the old saying, "mentor!"

The main thing to do is to provide Victor with opinions and suggestions based on historical trajectories and modern trends.

The leader was called Chris Russell Chi, a middle-aged man of about 45 years old, who was at the peak of his energy and spirit.

He is a simple man. He was originally from a farming family in northern Henan Province. In 1978, he was admitted to the History Department of Tsinghua University. After graduating from undergraduate school, he was admitted to the master's program of the same university, and then to Harvard with a full scholarship. After graduating with a doctorate, he interned at the Brookings Institution and became the first Asian vice president. His ability is beyond doubt.

Later, after civil unrest broke out in the United States, he was recruited by Mexico and has served as the president of the chief think tank and Victor's personal adviser.

Chris Russell Qi stood up and nodded to everyone. The people next to him quickly connected the computer and projected it on the big screen.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

He nodded humbly to everyone.

"According to the think tank's calculations, after Norman Schwarzkopf announced the 'right to self-defense', within a month, there will be about 3000 private armed forces, with more than hundreds of thousands of people. Similarly, PMC business will also be more developed in the United States. Although it seems that it can maintain social stability for a short time, this situation will quickly make the United States more chaotic."

“Violence consumes each other, and entrepreneurs will use violence to solve market share issues.”

"The signs of America's demise have already emerged."

What Chris Russell Chi did in his PPT was to quote from classics, from ancient China to the current warlords in Africa. The core of it is that the Pentagon made a wrong move.

After he finished speaking, Victor clapped softly, and everyone in the audience, whether they understood or not, followed suit.

Chris smiled and nodded, walked off the stage, and led his people out of the meeting room, very consciously.

After all, some of the things that happened next were not something they could interfere with.

"Mr. Carter has invited us to join the anti-Norman alliance. As a North American neighbor across the Grande River, I feel obligated to clean up the mess for the Pentagon."

"What do you think?"

Everyone nodded vigorously, and Casare even shouted, "We must make the Americans swallow the humiliation they have inflicted on us before."

The officers below were also ready to go.

You know, the most anxious ones are not the young and vigorous faction and the hawks, but those division-level cadres who are just one step away from becoming generals with the rank of colonel.

"At the end of June, a league meeting will be held in Texas. Kennedy will be the chief and Lieutenant General Edward Fritz Blomberg will be the vice chief. They will lead a delegation to attend the meeting."

The Minister of Defense and the Deputy Chief of Staff both stood up and responded.

"But before that, I think we have to take over California as an offensive enclave and to increase our strategic depth."

When these words came out, many people in the meeting were shocked, but they subconsciously looked at Casare, Kennedy, Quaukmote and others. They all had calm faces, and they knew that the top leaders had already been notified internally.

"I command!"

Everyone standing in the conference room stood up at once.

"I, the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense will serve as the temporary supreme war command. I order the commander of the Northern Theater, Rommel, to be the commander-in-chief of the front line and march quickly to California!"

“We must occupy more counties and complete our strategic goals before the meeting at the end of the month.”

"Gentlemen!"

"California has been separated from us for too long since the Bear Flag Rebellion in 1846. This has been our land since ancient times. It is time for us to return our children to their mother's arms!"
