I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 198: The lower levels only need science, the upper levels embrace the gods (Bonus Chapter 1726)

The British, who tried to take advantage of the Americans, ended up taking advantage of themselves. Thinking about it carefully, it seems this isn't the first time.

The land of America seems to possess some kind of strange magnetic field, always managing to drag Britain, who stands by watching from the sidelines, into the fray.

Moreover, this latest scandal seems to be inextricably linked to Great Britain itself.

We British are civilized people, and we generally like to reflect on ourselves when things happen.

So—how do you run your business, 10 Downing Street?
Supporting American Black independence and causing trouble for Washington is not an unforgivable sin; it is a traditional imperial tactic.

The real sin is how could things be handled so undignifiedly and without secrecy? They actually managed to get solid photos taken and published in the Sun, a newspaper known for its hatred of Britain!
This was a double failure in intelligence work and colonial administration, and an insult to the "professionalism" that the British Empire had accumulated over centuries of stirring up trouble!

But the newly formed Labor government said that this was none of their business and that it was the fault of the Liberal government that had just resigned due to its crushing defeat in the general election!
To be more precise, it's all a mess left by that reckless and adventurous former Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs!

Well, our great British minister Churchill ultimately failed to retain his position as cabinet minister by "supporting the independence of black Americans".

He was just preparing to run for a seat in the House of Commons to return to the center of politics when he was immediately labeled as "more trouble than he's worth".

At this moment, Fatty Qiu was almost furious!

Damn America!

In his view, who else could have leaked the photos of weapons and ammunition being transported through Nassau Port, besides the American black rebels who were in contact with him?
I wholeheartedly supported your independence, and you bunch of black devils with no credibility actually betrayed me afterwards?

In America, you can't trust anyone, from top to bottom, not even dogs!

Well, on this point, the British media has surprisingly reached a consensus with the angry former minister.

Americans are certainly not trustworthy; you can't even trust them to be rational, otherwise there wouldn't be discussions about how to avoid getting splattered with blood by the ever-present threat of self-destruction in America.

In particular, the sphere of influence of their British Empire is closest to the United States!

To the north lies the vast but poorly defended Dominion of Canada, and to the south are scattered island colonies in the Caribbean Sea.

If America were to completely collapse, these nearby British territories would be the first to suffer.

Sure enough, even though the United States is only embroiled in a localized civil war, their Bahamian colony has already been "impacted"!
European countries are quite interested in how to avoid getting splattered with blood.

Previously, everyone was only discussing when the United States would collapse, but no one had thought about what would happen if the United States went crazy and started exporting itself after it collapsed.
Now, after all the media discussions, the most practical and convenient solution seems to be just one thing—stay away from him!
Otherwise, what if you go up to him and try to hug him so you can self-destruct together? The other powers that follow behind and try to profit from the chaos will laugh themselves to death.

The new Labour cabinet seems to have carried this principle through to the end. After carefully weighing the enormous expenses required to send the main Royal Navy fleet to the Caribbean to confront the US Navy head-on, as well as the risk of uncontrollable escalation that might be triggered, the cabinet quickly reached a consensus: lie low!

We in Great Britain have to spend money everywhere, but our finances are tight. We don't have time to play "coward games" with a madman like you!
If you, the American fleet, want to surround the Bahamas, go ahead. Anyway, even if the black devils on board starve to death, Great Britain won't care.

I don't believe you'd actually go and log on, and then go and "fight" with Black people overseas after you've already "mixed up" with Black people in China!
Thus, faced with the U.S. Navy's aggressive blockade of the Bahamas, the Labor cabinet's official statement was merely—

"We have taken note of the tensions in the relevant waters and call on the United States to remain calm and exercise restraint, and to resolve differences through diplomatic channels..."

Upon learning of Britain's reaction, President Coolidge exclaimed in his heart, "God is on my side!"
However, before revealing his hand, he needed to reach an agreement with the country's bosses, the real bosses. A top-secret meeting was held in Washington.

There were no attendees, no assistants, only President Coolidge himself, key representatives from the country's major financial groups, the Speaker of the House, and the majority and minority leaders of both houses of Congress...

In the secret meeting, after everyone was seated, Coolidge, in a tone unlike his predecessors—dull and inflection—went straight to the point, dropping the first bombshell:
"Gentlemen, I have decided to make peace with the Black organization Wakanda!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the delegates' eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with the expression of "Are you crazy?"

However, Coolidge did not give them time to retaliate.

He made a downward pressing gesture with a blank expression, while pushing a thick stack of documents in front of him to the center of the table.

This was his second consecutive strike.

“Before you say anything, please take a look at this!”

"This is the Bureau of Investigation's top-secret investigation report! And, the Army Intelligence Department's military assessment report, which was produced after mobilizing all resources and cross-verifying all survivor testimonies, battlefield traces, and material flows!"

He leaned forward, his voice low, yet carrying an eerie, penetrating quality:

"I don't know if you believe in God, or any other deity. Based on all the information we have at the moment, and through the most scientific analysis, the conclusion points to one possibility—a true God has appeared on American soil!"

The meeting fell silent.

In the midst of this deathly silence, Coolidge slowed his speech, lowered his voice, and, like an ancient soul chanting in the shadows, unleashed a three-part attack:

"Now, let me ask you another frank question..."

"You, and the bosses you represent, don't you want to coexist with the gods and seek immortality?"

The word "immortality" echoes like the serpent's cry in the Garden of Eden, reverberating in a secluded room where you could hear a pin drop.

Even those who stand at the pinnacle of power and possess boundless wealth appear utterly powerless when faced with the ultimate question of "death."

If the "miracles" of Mississippi are truly related to some kind of supernatural power, then the value of pursuing it, understanding it, and even... controlling it will far exceed the outcome of a civil war or the ownership of a state!
After a long silence, a representative of a conglomerate, who was also a financial tycoon, closed the top-secret assessment report and asked a seemingly unwelcome question, "Mr. President, but I remember you said it was science!"

Coolidge seemed to have no intention of putting on airs in front of these figures who could truly influence the direction of the country: "The lower classes only need science, and only then will the upper classes be qualified to embrace the true God!"

"If he is a true god, why can he be embraced by people?" someone else asked.

Coolidge laughed. "What kind of place is America? It's a capitalist country! Since the true God has chosen to manifest himself here, he must at least understand the art of the deal!"
