Chapter 573: The North American Version of Holding the Emperor Hostage to Command the Warlords! (Part 2)
I call on all citizens to stay vigilant and courageous:
Reject all illegal orders.
The Constitution is the supreme guideline, and any so-called "emergency measures" without my exclusive authorization are unconstitutional.
We demand all states to immediately initiate resistance!!!
"In the name of the President, I declare the Pentagon, the White House, and Congress as traitors!"
"The Texas Republic and the Illinois Republic are legitimate resistance organizations."
Carter paused, his voice trembling, taking a deep breath, with tears in his eyes...
He knew what he was doing.
From now on, in the United States, no, in global history, he would be discussed, a true beacon, dismantled...
"I also make an international appeal here!"
"Urging the United Nations Security Council to invoke Chapter Seven of the United Nations Charter, recognizing this incident as a threat to global security. Calling on NATO allies to initiate collective defense consultations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty."
"Fellow compatriots, the spirit of 1776 never succumbed to tyranny, 1865 never succumbed to division, 1941 never succumbed to fear, and today we shall not either. Regardless of how this message reaches you, please believe firmly:
United we stand, freedom forever!!"
After shouting with his last strength, Carter slumped into his wheelchair, completely drained.
Bramo slowly pushed his wheelchair down.
Cameras kept clicking from behind...
Bramo's upright figure and Carter's lonely silhouette looked like two eras.
"Ultimately, it's the young people's era."
Someone murmured, bringing a touch of sorrow.
But such melancholic remarks are just brushed aside, who cares about the feelings of old folks?
They want to rejoice, already envisioning the scene of money falling from the sky.
...
"Extra, extra! President Carter recognizes the legitimacy of the Texas Republic and the Illinois Republic and calls on all states to rise up and fight against the Pentagon's tumor!"
The newspaper boy shouted loudly at the busiest intersection in Mexico City, adding at the end, "The newspaper is free to distribute."
"Give me one!"
"Kid, kid, give me one, here, here."
The crowd surged forward, like a tide, wave after wave, the front people were almost being crushed down.
"Don't push! Don't push me, can't you see there are people in front?"
"Ow, damn! Who the hell touched my ass!!!!"
The police in the distance immediately blew their whistles, rushing over and pushing the crowd aside forcefully, knowing it would definitely turn into chaos.
The newspaper boy was obviously stunned by the scene, and when pulled out by the police, his face still showed signs of fear, a slap mark on his face from who knows who.
"Wah~~"
He burst into tears, hugging the policeman's leg and crying.
Which made the policeman feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Free things... are indeed so enticing.
This was just a snapshot, similar scenes were happening in other parts of Mexico City, with many people even tearing at a newspaper just to see the news on it.
For a while, it was truly "Luoyang Paper Price."
In the National Palace, busy staff took a rare moment to stop and chat upon seeing each other, with the first thing being:
"Did you hear? Carter declared the Pentagon a treasonous organization!"
"I heard! I always knew the Yanks were unreliable."
Almost every conversation started like this, and the entire National Palace had a festive atmosphere.
They didn't realize that unconsciously, the United States had become a rock weighing on their heads, and now that rock had loosened, everyone felt relieved all over.
Victor stood by the window, with a cigarette between his fingers. Next to him, Casare was very excited, "Boss, you didn't see on the streets, everyone is cheering, the United States is finally going to disintegrate like the Soviet Union!"
"North America belongs to Mexico!"
Victor exhaled smoke through his nostrils, frowning as he opened the window and flicked the ash outside.
Casare's smile gradually faded, "Boss?"
"It's different."
Victor shook his head, turning to look at his brother, "The weakness of capitalism is prominent, it will blame each other for a mistake, and in necessary times, throw away comrades just to secure their own interests. But you cannot deny, it is precisely this profit-driven nature of capitalism that makes it completely different from the Soviet Union. After the latter disintegrated, everyone went their own way, but after the United States disintegrates, many small and medium-sized enterprises will die, and the shares vacated by these enterprises will become the main battleground for big capitalists to fight over."
"Perhaps for a single dollar, it will turn from past commercial wars into hot wars."
"After all, when capital and violence are intertwined, the world will completely belong to darkness."
These words were full of philosophy.
But Casare was smart; he understood that when capital controls violence, violence becomes the lapdog of capitalism, and capitalism becomes uncontrollable!
When the three powers of the United States were independent, big capitalists could only find ways to cooperate and then compete for a piece of cake within the framework, but now...
Carter announced, Washington lacked legitimacy, and big entrepreneurs and big farm owners would definitely fight tooth and nail for their businesses.
Perhaps...
It will return to the era of slavery?
Of course, blacks are surely more than 1 US Dollar now.
"51 regions, 51 armed groups, 51 independent regimes, fighting each other on nearly 10 million lands, who will triumph, is still unknown."
"With our support for Texas and Illinois, there are definitely no issues," Casare said with conviction.
Victor tapped the desk with his finger, pushing a document on the table towards him, signaling him to look. Casare hesitated, although curious, still picked it up and read it carefully.
His eyes slowly widened.
"France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and other major European countries frequently contacted many state governments in the United States, even Germany is beginning to stir, wanting to break free from their chains, and second-tier countries like Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands are also starting to seek opportunities."
"Outside of Europe, some African countries have secretly formed interest alliances, understanding that separated they are shit, they plan to support a state with united forces to gain benefits during the American civil war."
"If penguins and polar bears could talk, they would also support Greenland Island independence."
"The fallen Soviet fed the entire underground world, gangs shone and heated up with Soviet weapons, and as for the fallen United States, who wouldn't want a share?"
Casare was stunned upon hearing this analysis, "Should we act first and secure more shares at this time?"
"The California State garrison was attacked, troops opened fire and killed many people. I received a call from Governor Aeguputos Ruiz, explaining to me, hoping I would restrain so as not to escalate the situation, for which he could even cede Rio Grande to us. Do you know what I heard from his tone?"
"Weakness and compromise, such people are the easiest to bully..."
Victor suddenly tossed the cigarette in his hand to the ground, stepping on it to extinguish the butt, "I've decided to take down California State, to become Mexico's 31st state besides Belize! (North and Lower California merged)."
"A US outlet is in our hands!"
He stretched out his hand, made a fist, and clenched it powerfully. Casare paused, breathing became somewhat chaotic, "When will we act?"
"This is just the plan. We need to carefully discuss it. I intend to call this plan..."
"Victor Overlord Action!"
