　As a result, housing prices and commodity prices in New York have continued to rise, and taxes and levies have also increased. Citizens have long been complaining.

　Of course, compared to the vampires on Wall Street, these newly arrived Israeli refugees seem too harmless.

　——When the situation in the capital is already decided, the United States has been unable to restore domestic peace so far, and it is all because of these financiers.

　They actually wanted to use New York, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve as hostages and force President Nixon to "lose even if he wins" at the negotiating table!

　“I wonder how Dr. Kissinger’s conversation with Mr. Nelson Rockefeller went?

　I hope those financial tycoons on Wall Street can calm down now and not continue to refuse to admit defeat and let things get out of hand.”

　Looking at Marita slumped on the sofa, Fili couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Otherwise, if we really start a New York War like in the Marvel movies, I feel like even if we win, we'll probably be infamous forever! The Jews still control the American media!"

　-

　According to common sense, after President Nixon had taken control of the capital, Washington, thoroughly purged the federal government through violence, and dissolved Congress, the financial tycoons on Wall Street in New York should have bowed to the White House and sought preferential conditions of "surrender and lose half."

　The problem is that the United States is a classic capitalist country, where capital is the primary power. Under normal circumstances, American political power is subordinate to the power of capital. Even the White House must bend to the will of Wall Street—the so-called "deep state."

　Throughout the 20th century, the White House had only one successful record of completely defeating and taming Wall Street, and that was during the era of President Roosevelt.

　It is obvious that President Roosevelt, who was in a wheelchair, was not ruling a normal America, and his path to success would be difficult for future generations to emulate.

　Therefore, even if they were defeated on the battlefield, the financial tycoons on Wall Street were still very arrogant and did not think they had lost at all.

　After the Capitol Army suffered three defeats in Washington, D.C., and its hastily retreated to Philadelphia, President Nixon, confident of victory, sent representatives to negotiate with the old Congress. He argued that they were all Americans, and they couldn't destroy the entire country for their own selfish interests. Therefore, President Nixon planned to pardon all members of the Capitol Army, but only dismiss them from their posts and demand that Wall Street tycoons relinquish control of the Federal Reserve.

　Well, of course, the impeached congressman can run for congressman or governor again in the future, and if he is elected, President Nixon will not stop him.

　However, the Nixon administration does not recognize their current status as senators and representatives.

　New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which are currently rebelling in support of the Capitol Army, must all replace their members with a new group of congressmen and send them to Congress in Washington.

　According to President Nixon's thinking, this was already a very lenient condition - after all, traitors should not be allowed to return to the country.

　Back to Congress?

　As for an institution as important as the Federal Reserve, it cannot be controlled by a group of traitorous remnants. Otherwise, what if they abuse the money supply?

　Forget about the restrictions of laws and regulations. If Wall Street financiers really abide by the law, would they have attempted to kidnap the president before?

　He hasn't even compiled a "public enemies list" yet, so Wall Street should be able to understand the White House's goodwill.

　However, the Congressional Military did not accept the olive branch extended by President Nixon, as they felt that the president's conditions were too harsh.

　Speaker Hugh Scott said that his side was the legitimate Congress, Nixon was an illegal president, and he should be the one to pardon Nixon!

　The other leaders of the Congressional Army who fled to Philadelphia did not accept President Nixon's "goodwill", but instead ridiculed him.

　Furthermore, the Capitol Army claimed that all the ministers appointed by Nixon's administration, except Nixon himself, were currently in Philadelphia. Therefore, the government Nixon formed in Washington had no legitimacy at all, and the Capitol Army could legally elect a new president at any time!

　Well, you "remnants of the old times" are unwilling to quietly step down from the stage of history, right?

　Then, I will negotiate with the real masters behind you puppets!

　President Nixon then sought to bypass the Congressional Army in Philadelphia and contact Wall Street tycoons and Jewish financial groups in New York, hoping to learn from the Congressional Army's backers what conditions they would consider for restoring domestic peace.

　Unexpectedly, the Wall Street tycoons had an insanely good self-esteem, believing themselves to be "too big to fail." Consequently, they felt utterly confident and had no intention of cutting their losses. Instead, they demanded that President Nixon "surrender half" and apologize to Wall Street. Not only did Wall Street refuse to hand over the Federal Reserve, it also threatened to fill Nixon's administration with numerous people, even planning to appoint Nixon as his vice president.

　He really has no awareness of defeat at all, he is really going against Tiangang!

　What made President Nixon even more angry was that just as he was negotiating with the remaining 47 states and overseas territories to prepare to reopen a new Congress and establish a new government, the Federal Reserve, which stood in support of the Congressional Army, suddenly issued an additional $50 billion to be used as military expenses for the Congressional Army!

　As soon as this incident happened, the already soaring prices in the United States suddenly soared again, and European countries even began to refuse to accept US dollar bills.

　It's outrageous that the US government's printing press is in the hands of rebels! What kind of situation is this?

　What if the Federal Reserve retaliates by printing money and implementing $10 trillion in quantitative easing? What will the US government do with its fiscal budget?

　President Nixon, who had originally wanted to slowly resolve domestic issues through negotiations, finally lost his patience and sent Fieri and Kissinger, the "expert duo" to clean up the mess, to New York, intending to let Kissinger conduct final negotiations with Wall Street first.

　If no agreement can be reached, let Fieri, who comes from the CIA, find a way to stir up some trouble in New York to put extreme pressure on Wall Street.

　——If New York, the "rebellious city", remains peaceful, how can the cautious White House achieve peaceful reunification?

　They raised their glasses to toast them, and there was also a cheerful young girl playing the piano in a corner of the restaurant and singing a cheerful toast song, while the whole family sang the harmony with laughter.

　Ah, actually it sounds pretty good, but it's just too noisy, and that kind of passionate and unrestrained lack of a sense of distance is really daunting.

　"Hi! I wish you good health!"

　“I wish you good health!”

　“I wish you good health too!”

　With the sound of clinking glasses again and again, the guests, Fili and Marita, were both given a lot of wine by the landlord's family. Fortunately, the alcoholic beverages were not too strong, and Fili and Marita, one of them Irish and the other German, were both good drinkers, so they didn't make a fool of themselves.

　Just as Marita was feeling a little dizzy and Fili began to secretly use magic to sober himself up, the news program finally started on TV.

　——Although the United States is theoretically in the midst of a civil war, unlike the last Civil War that completely tore the two sides apart, this civil war is being fought much more "gently", giving people the feeling that it is a bit like playing house, or a more intense armed parade political show.

　Therefore, Washington did not use the navy to blockade New York Harbor or the airspace over New York. In fact, except for the highway from New York to Washington, which was blocked by the presidential and congressional armies, the highways from New York to other states remained unimpeded.

　On the other hand, the Congressional Army did not intend to impose any news censorship, so major news media in New York continued to operate as usual during the Civil War.

　Even because the federal government suffered a violent purge, the agencies originally responsible for censoring news became illegal organizations. As a result, the major news media in New York became more free and became more unscrupulous when reporting domestic and international news, like wild dogs on the loose.

　For example, in the domestic news on New York TV tonight, there are reporters interviewing politicians in Washington, reporting on the preparations for the establishment of the new Congress, disagreements, quarrels and even fights among representatives from various states in the capital, and various threats and inducements from the White House against "rebellious states."

　At the same time, war correspondents went to Philadelphia to interview the Congressional Army commanded by General LeMay, and listened to the various bold words of the congressmen and military commanders who escaped from Washington, such as "fight back to Washington and kill on Capitol Hill", "one month of preparation, three months of counterattack", etc.

　Although it was a loud battle, there was almost no fighting. It was a bit like the Kansas Civil War before the Civil War. The Northern and Southern armies fought for four years, but the total casualties were only 150. On average, one unlucky person died every week or so - this was a typical show war.

　In addition, New Yorkers complained that prices were soaring and their incomes were not keeping up with inflation, so they could not afford to eat out or fill up their gas tanks.

　How should I put it? It's all old stuff, and it doesn't arouse any interest. I just know that both sides of the civil war are still bluffing.

　Both Washington and Philadelphia were desperately making harsh remarks at this time, but there was no active military action.

　After all, the two sides actually control less than 10% of the US land together, and the remaining 90% of the territory is still in a neutral and wavering state.

　The most important thing now is not to fight for supremacy on the battlefield, but to see who is more capable of recruiting surrenders and traitors!

　Furthermore, in California, Fieri's hometown, the California Civil War had erupted. The city council of Sacramento, the capital, declared its support for the Capitol Army. However, other cities, such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, were either neutral or supported President Nixon.

　The rural farmers and the city's skid row gangs are fighting each other, making people feel as if they have returned to the era of westerns when gangsters were rampant.

　I wonder what's happening in Los Angeles? Is it still peaceful and tranquil, or is it also caught up in the violence?

　Several of my properties are now deserted. I've set up security barriers, but they can only scare off thieves. If a large group of thugs really break in with open arms, there's no way to stop them... Never mind, if they were bought for nothing, so be it!

　Anyway, there's nothing shameful in his house. Fili carries his most precious women with him now...

　After feeling the magic book "Love Slave Treasure Mirror" in his personal space, he thought so with an open mind.

　The most fascinating news in the following international news was naturally the Soviet army's rapid advance and invincibility in the Middle East battlefield.

　Israel, this seemingly invincible cockroach...was defeated in the end!

　—Watching the TV news, the Soviet armored troops that had landed in Egypt a few days ago finally crushed the desperate resistance of the Israeli army, flattened the entire Sinai Peninsula, and planted the red flag on the roof of St. Porphyry's Church, the oldest Orthodox church in the Gaza Strip...

　Fili couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

　Although Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was still clamoring for a "national decisive battle" and making up stories about "God's chosen people will never be defeated", the remaining Israeli troops and militias were fighting desperately against the Soviet army on the border, even using nuclear mines to block the Soviet offensive.

　Even though the Soviet army used nuclear bombs to clear the way and burned entire battalions or even brigades of Israeli troops to ashes, there was no large-scale surrender of the Israeli army.

　Local Israeli militias were also fighting with the armed forces of the Palestine Liberation Organization, massacring each other's villages and towns and burning them into scorched earth.

　But it's too late.

　For example, the Israeli defenders on the Golan Heights are indeed very tenacious.

　Even in this desperate situation where they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, they still hold their positions firmly and do not let the Syrian army in front or the Palestine Liberation Organization forces behind them gain any advantage.

　But the question is, what’s the point?

　By the time the Soviet army entered Tel Aviv, which had already been in ruins, and by the time the Golan Heights' pre-war stockpiles of ammunition and supplies were completely exhausted, the Israeli defenders stationed on the Golan Heights had no choice but to either surrender or, like the Jewish rebels in the ancient Masada fortress, commit mass suicide before the Roman legions broke into the city.

　However, such a forged victory, or a victory obtained with Soviet charity, was not good for the Arab national spirit.

　Why is it said that the Soviet Union's involvement in helping the Arabs win the Fourth Arab-Israeli War was actually detrimental to the Arab national spirit?

　Because victory must be won by one's own efforts, so that one can be confident. If victory is won by relying on rich people, then one will be soft-hearted.

　For example, the Kim family in North Korea brags about their military achievements in defeating the United States all day long, but who in the international community takes it seriously?

　In short, at this moment, watching the images of Soviet tanks appearing in Palestine on TV, the landlord Bruno and his family felt very complicated.

　"Oh my God! The Russians are about to invade the Holy Land of Jerusalem! Can this be considered another Crusade?"

　"Of course not. The Soviets are all evil atheists!"

　"But the Christians in the Holy Land were all killed by our army and the Jews! Didn't the Soviets attack Israel to avenge them?"

　“The martyrs of Jerusalem would probably rather have no one avenge them than see atheists invade the Holy Land!”

　"Didn't the Pope also condemn the Soviet Union's invasion of the Middle East?"

　"Go tell those Christians who were gassed to death in Jerusalem! And I don't recognize that Jewish lackey as the legitimate pope!"

　"What I'm more worried about is that if Israel is destroyed, won't all the millions of Jews there flee to New York?"

　"My God! Don't let these cunning misers come here! There are too many Jews in New York already!"

　"Yeah, they're hoarding everything! Gasoline prices have skyrocketed, and it's still out of stock!"

　What is interesting is that although the Bruno family expressed their own opinions, no one mentioned the grand narrative of American hegemony in the Middle East.

　It can be seen that the sense of identity and cohesion of foreign immigrants in this country does not seem to be very high...

　-

　After dinner and watching the news program, seeing that the landlord's family was still drinking one drink after another, and even smoking a very suspicious hookah, and might do something inappropriate for children next, Fili and Marita wisely said goodbye in time and returned to their residence.

　But after returning to the rented apartment, Marita rolled around on the bed like a salted fish, making salted fish noises: "Ah, so boring..."

　——Well, the shabby little suite, the noisy old apartment, and the lack of nightlife do make people feel irritated.

　So, let's have some fun ourselves, shall we?

　Fili smiled and rushed over, hugging Marita on the bed.

　However, before they had time to take off their clothes, they heard a "beeping" sound coming from Fili's trouser pocket. Feeling disappointed, Fili scratched his hair, stood up, took out a signal receiver from his pocket, and took a look at it. His expression suddenly became serious.

　"Honey, we have to go out right now!"

　As Firi opened the suitcase and searched for the spy gear inside, he said, "Dr. Kissinger has finished his secret talks with Nelson Rockefeller and other Wall Street bigwigs and returned to the Plaza Hotel. He's summoning us to explain the situation and discuss countermeasures!"

　"Dr. Kissinger is calling us over? Well, then we should definitely get ready to go out."

　Marita nodded and hurriedly got up, about to take out a mirror to put on her makeup. But then she thought of something and hesitated, "Wait, dear, New York is now the territory of the rebels. Dr. Kissinger might be watched by local spies!"

　If we went straight to his house, would we be stopped or even arrested for interrogation before we even met Dr. Kissinger?

　But you can’t use magic directly in front of Dr. Kissinger…”

　"There is indeed such a risk, so we will go to see him in disguise this time. I have already prepared for this!"

　Fili took out two skirts from the suitcase and spread them on the bed. "Honey, what do you think of these skirts?"

　"A black silk dress embroidered with red flowers? The style is really tacky. And why did you bring out two identical dresses?"

　Marita was a little confused at first, but then she saw Fili pick up a skirt and gesture towards herself. She immediately understood and her eyes began to sparkle. "Wow! So one of them is for you! Hurry up and dress up! Let me see what you look like in women's clothes!"

　"No, no! This is the shade you want for the slogan! Let me apply it for you!"

　"That's great! My husband looks the most handsome even in women's clothes!"

　"

　Your hair is still too short. Do you have a wig ready? Uh, can you actually make long hair with magic? That's so convenient! "

　"It's so beautiful! Should we take a photo?

　A photo as a souvenir? What? Let's talk about it when we get back? We can't keep Dr. Kissinger waiting? Okay..."

　Just like that, after Marita treated Fili like a big doll, putting on makeup in front of the mirror and fiddling with her for a full hour, two "call girls" dressed seductively, wearing black stockings, mink furs, and carrying leather bags, walked out of this shabby apartment in "Little Italy".

　Then, “they” took a taxi on Sixth Avenue, and accompanied by the black driver’s amazing whistle, drove to the Plaza Hotel in New York…

　——In order to hide his identity and avoid being seen, the temporary Major General Ferry King, the commander of the Federal Space Army, decisively chose to appear in women's clothing in New York!

　Chapter 490: Illegal President vs. Illegal Congress

　"Wow! Brother Ferry, you're so beautiful!"

　In his suite at the Plaza Hotel in New York, Dr. Kissinger couldn't help but let a playful expression cross his chubby face as he gazed at the voluptuous couple standing beside his bed. Dr. Kissinger had often seen the beauty of Marita, the "flower of the CIA," in the past. But now, to impersonate a high-class call girl, Marita had adopted heavy smoky makeup, dyed her hair black, applied dark eye circles, and donned a black dress, black stockings, and a mink coat. This gave her a somewhat worldly air, a more alluring quality than her usual ladylike attire.
