Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 155 Civil War
The special security detail that the internet celebrity president had always dreamed of made its debut in a way he never imagined.

C-17s and Hercules aircraft kept landing at the airport, airlifting nearly an entire infantry division of National Guard troops to their capital in a single day…

Although they were just light infantry.

Even light infantry would be enough to control the city.

After all, the city didn't have many garrison troops.

These National Guard troops were primarily from Southern states, especially former Confederate states. These soldiers, carrying old state flags with thirteen stars preserved in various ways, quickly took control of the presidential palace and Capitol Hill, and then other key city buildings, including the iconic Capitol Building. A small-scale firefight occurred during the takeover, but ultimately, faced with orders from the popular president, the garrison there ceased its resistance and allowed the National Guard to enter the building.

Similarly, key departments such as the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, and the IRS were all taken into control.

Even the intelligence agency wasn't spared.

That same evening, the internet celebrity president delivered another public speech.

He accused some members of Congress of bribing military generals, especially some fleet commanders in the Navy, to deliberately attack National Guard troops who were carrying out counterinsurgency operations, and he even presented some key evidence...

There were actually witnesses.

Several military generals testified beside him that they had received such bribes.

It shouldn't be fake.

After all, there's no point in faking something like this.

Furthermore, the raid on the capital allowed the National Guard to seize a large amount of evidence, and some of the named members of Congress were even detained. These people are not tough nuts to crack; they have already confessed what they could.

Then the internet celebrity president announced the removal of the commanders of the two carrier strike groups currently in the exercise, their respective fleet commanders, as well as some ship captains and air force commanders, and ordered the exercise to be stopped by the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, with all warships immediately returning to Norfolk. At the same time, the states that support him issued orders to their officers and soldiers serving in the military, requiring them to carry out arrest warrants for the president or face deportation of their families from the state.

That's a ruthless move.

Ultimately, their soldiers are recruited from various states, and their families are all under the control of their respective states.

disobedient?
Those fanatical patriots should come knocking.

You non-citizens all deserve to die. Leave us your money, houses, land, and even cars, and then get out of our state like vagrants.

This kind of thing is simple.

They easily incited a group of unemployed people to do it.

Ultimately, even if they were bribed, the money would be used to enjoy a life of luxury. But the patriots of this state could destroy their families. Besides, even if they were bribed, how much would ordinary soldiers get? Losing their entire family or even their property for such a small amount of money would be a complete loss.

But just an hour later, the Senate opposition leader, who had managed to escape, claimed at the airport before boarding his plane to the West Coast that the president and Congress were now under the control of the mutinous National Guard, and that all orders issued from the capital, regardless of the manner or type, were coerced. He would travel to White Bear and demand that the remaining members of Congress and key officials not yet abducted go there to form a provisional Congress and discuss the next steps.

Since the vice president, who also serves as the president of the Senate, and the speaker of the House of Representatives have also been kidnapped by insurgents, they will elect a new president of the Senate as interim president in turn.

Meanwhile, the former Speaker of the House, who claimed to be ill at home, and the current incumbent Congresswoman, Mafia Princess, also made a swift comeback, citing the kidnapping of the House Opposition Leader as the reason, and announced that she would convene the members of the House who were not kidnapped to White Bear State to discuss important matters.

And you could tell he was very excited.

After all, she had been feeling quite anxious during this period.

So a few hours later, she could join the Senate opposition leader in her home city to announce the formation of a provisional parliament.

They also demanded that each state legislature immediately elect new senators and representatives to attend their provisional congress in the White Bear states. This demand was, of course, categorically rejected by the Red states, which accused them of attempting to divide the country. However, some deep Blue states, especially those in the West, readily agreed, and some announced that they would send National Guard troops to fight the insurgents under the orders of the provisional congress.

Of course, the internet celebrity president continued to prove through public speeches that he had not been kidnapped.

Then he demanded that all members of parliament who were abroad return to the capital for a meeting.

Dissolve the provisional parliament.

Otherwise it will be considered rebellion.

But it's no longer of any use.

The division of this country has become a reality.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Yang Feng anymore. He was leading his disciples to plunder the museums in this country, and no one dared to stop them. The internet celebrity president neither ordered them to stop nor ordered them not to stop...

He couldn't care less about that.

Furthermore, even when he leaves the Presidential Palace, he is surrounded by special guards, or rather, fervent supporters. These supporters are so devoted to the president that they follow him wherever he goes, and some even live directly in the Presidential Palace. Of course, this is at the invitation of the popular president, since trespassing on the Presidential Palace is wrong, but the president is so approachable that inviting supporters to stay in the Presidential Palace is a heartwarming story of sharing joy with the people.

In short, everyone ignored Yang Xianren, who cleared out cities and museums throughout the country.

The media doesn't mention it.

The government pretends not to know.

The only thing the museum owner could do was call the police.

Ultimately, Yang Feng collected all the cultural relics looted by this country during its colonial period, including modern artworks they acquired legally.

Of course, if it is determined that the money was obtained through legal means, it will be returned to them.

Even now, the artifacts that Chameleon sent to the city designated by Yang Feng are being authenticated by experts from various countries. A large portion of those identified as belonging to their original countries were not taken away; instead, they were entrusted to Chameleon for exhibition through agreements, with revenue sharing to follow. Only the bronzes designated by Yang Feng were placed in a separate warehouse, awaiting his personal handling upon his return. Since this was with Chameleon's consent, most of the countries victimized by colonial rule, including the Eastern Power, sent experts. As for the Eastern Power, those identified were naturally taken back home; there was no need to leave them for other countries to exhibit.

Now I've got this too.

Yang Feng already possesses bronze artifacts from three of the major colonial powers of that era.

There's still Big Hair left.

That depends on whether Pugou is sensible or not.

That city at the heart of the war.

"They're still holding on?" Yang Feng looked down at the still war-torn city with surprise.

The bombing has resumed.

So the fighter jets in the sky continued to drop bombs.

The recent arrest of the carrier strike group commander by a group of officers from his own state, and the suicide of the destroyer captain who ordered the missile to shoot down the transport plane, but he shot himself first and then fell into the sea, so his body was not found.

A firefight broke out between soldiers from red and blue states on a destroyer, but the red side ultimately won.

Currently, over thirty states support the "celebrity president," or rather, recognize the capital's government. Even within the military, they hold a numerical advantage. In reality, only a few states have publicly supported the provisional congress, primarily the three West Coast states. Others are observing or waiting for a better offer, even if they are blue states. Ultimately, this is purely a matter of self-interest. The three West Coast states are already reaching their breaking point with the "celebrity president." Those waiting for a better offer are mainly the northeastern states, especially the country's ancestral homeland, including battleground states. These are all deep blue states, but the problem is their isolated location and the increasing presence of the National Guard. Supporting the provisional congress would mean facing these "bandits," but supporting the "celebrity president" doesn't align with his public image, so they remain hesitant and observing.

But they can't wait and see for long.

Because the Southern National Guard has repeatedly crossed the border and looted their towns.

Of course, we went the wrong way.

We kept making the wrong moves.

Anyway, now that the internet celebrity president is under control and no one is really interfering, these Southern rednecks are still enthusiastic about going to the Northeast states to loot, even if they're not after money.

This was once the core area of ​​the Northern Army. These descendants of smugglers from back then now consider themselves old-school blue-blooded aristocrats. They looked down on Southerners back then, and now they look down on rednecks. It's time to let them taste the brutality of rednecks.

Therefore, even the National Guard of the battleground states has withdrawn from the cities. This is mainly because the National Guards of the Southern states were also attacking them. In fact, even the National Guard of the neighboring state, which was among the first to join the war, was brutally attacked by rednecks. They are discussing mutual protection with several northeastern states, which means forming another coalition to stop the National Guards of the Southern states from crossing the border and looting.

As for their backing...

"Master, our northern neighbor has announced a large-scale military exercise along the St. Lawrence River. It is a joint military exercise, with several European countries participating in addition to their own. Transport planes carrying soldiers for the exercise are flying over. In addition, there are videos online showing a large number of vehicles transporting munitions southward from there and handing them over to the National Guard of the battlefield state."

Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that there might be regular soldiers among them who have changed their clothes.

Moreover, their northern neighbor has clearly expressed its support for the interim parliament.

"That's what the attendant said."

“It’s really getting more and more chaotic.”

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, things are getting more and more chaotic.

It's clear that Europeans have realized they need to do something.

Their northern neighbor, in particular, deeply resents the internet-famous president. After all, this guy has openly declared his intention to annex them. While it's true that if he were to forcefully take them over, the northern neighbor would have no choice but to submit, they should still fight back if given the chance, and now is clearly the perfect opportunity. Of course, this is none of Yang Feng's concern. As a qualified arsonist, all he needs to do is start the fire; how it burns afterward is none of his business. He can simply watch from the sidelines.

However, he then remembered that the northern country also had a small amount that he needed.

Mosquito legs are meat too!
"Let's go shopping!"

He said.

A week later.

Having finished his shopping spree in the Americas, Yang Feng finally arrived at the neutral country he had designated.

Although it is a pseudo-neutral country.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, civil war was on the verge of breaking out. Each state had even issued recall orders to its officers and soldiers, effectively paralyzing their military. Troops stationed at overseas bases were at a loss, and soldiers at domestic bases were constantly leaving their respective states to return home due to the forceful recalls by their home states.

The National Guard continues to expand, and under the guise of raising funds, states are targeting their "fat pigs"—the newly wealthy immigrants. Since they've come to their states, they feel obligated to demonstrate their love for the state through their actions. The National Guard is preparing for battle, so it's reasonable for states to contribute funds, right? Therefore, states have introduced various taxes and levies specifically targeting new immigrants, especially those from certain countries, and have even resorted to confiscating their homes.

For example, those who absconded with the money.

These fat pigs are really easy to slaughter, since there's no one to supervise them.

As for the reason...

Aren't corrupt officials and fraudsters universally despised?
The crimes these guys committed in their homeland were also serious crimes under the laws of the New World. Although they weren't committed in the New World, that doesn't change the fact that they were a group of morally corrupt criminals.

We, the people of the New World, are very pure. What we hate most are corrupt officials and fraudsters. We didn't know you were such criminals in the past, so we accepted you. But now that we know, of course we can't let your filthy feet tread on our clean land. You must be expelled. Of course, only the people will be expelled; their property certainly cannot be taken. Their savings will be confiscated, and their houses and land will be auctioned off.

This kind of thing doesn't require traditional procedures like bank bankruptcy.

Just grab it.

In this situation, even a wealthy nation has become a target.

Ultimately, everyone knows what kind of people they are.

They've been doing this for over a thousand years; it's no secret. It's not that they're clever; it's just that the rulers need it. After all, it's inconvenient for the rulers to directly make money, but by keeping them in charge of making money, they can take money from them without having to bear the anger of the people.

If necessary, their heads can be used to demonstrate one's own wisdom.

Just like the Ninth Prince and the Grand Secretary.

Such characters have existed throughout history. The reason why they could develop to the point of wicked servants bullying their masters in the New World is mainly because the special national form of the New World provided them with a perfect parasite. In any other political system, even a feudal monarchy or even under a tribal chief, they could only kneel and be good slaves.

Under feudal monarchy, killing their entire family was as simple as saying a word.

Back then, the Tsar simply allowed Cossacks to massacre entire villages.

But it's different now.

On the rapidly evolving New World, which was becoming increasingly fragmented and controlled by regional warlords, they were like fat sheep. The rednecks who had already taken up arms were drooling with envy, waiting to pull the trigger like hunters.
