Working as a police officer in Mexico

The troop movements in New Mexico can't be hidden at all.

But it's quite funny, it wasn't even picked up by satellites—rather, it was a resident of Albuquerque who saw the massive military convoy start moving and couldn't help but use his Mexico-made 8848 phone to record it. Though due to its performance, he could only capture a small segment, about seven or eight seconds, but once he posted it on "social media"...

It went viral quickly!

If it was just the video, it would be fine, but the main issue was with this person's background commentary: "Look, the troops stationed outside my house have started a massive operation. No idea where they're headed? I guess they might be going to attack Texas or Chihuahua State, hahaha. I hope I'm wrong because I don't want to provoke Vic!"

!!!!

New Mexico's geographical position itself is quite awkward, neighboring Colorado to the north, Arizona to the west, Oklahoma to the northeast, Texas to the east and south, and Mexico's Chihuahua State to the southwest.

It's practically a battleground from all sides, and while the north and west are currently not troublesome, there are only the southeast positions left.

The troops can't be going on a spring outing, can they?

Especially during such sensitive times.

The folks online are really bold.

"Ask them where they're going, I can reward you with 200 Forum Coins!"

"Thanks, please ask what weapons they're carrying, where they're headed, and what the coordinates are. I have a package I'd like them to sign for."

"My God, it's so cool, if only we could have more close-up photos! Bro is so cool, can I trade my private photos for them?"

"OMG, you idiot, you're leaking secrets, leaking secrets, the FBI should arrest you and then shoot you!"

Seeing so many "female users" with suggestive tones, the male photographer couldn't help but get excited, "No problem! My ladies, I promise to ask them for you!"

Then...

The guy bought a pack of cigarettes and found a soldier maintaining order, handed the cigarettes over, and sneakily asked where they were headed.

The fellow was a real character too, directly telling him they were ordered to move towards the Mexico border.

No confidentiality measures whatsoever!

(Don't find it surprising, there was once a fool who met an online friend, and when the friend knew he worked at a confidential unit, they played games together, pretended to be a woman, and everything went naturally—as expected, it's referring to India.)

The photographer quickly posted what he knew online again.

Oh boy...

The whole world knew!

The troops hadn't even left the gate.

He even sent private messages to a few sexy-avatar ladies, hoping to get more photos, but they sank like stones in the sea, vanished without a trace.

Not everyone in the U.S. Military is a fool.

The Pentagon dispatched the former commander from the Army Training and Doctrine Command: Admiral Frederick Franks is now the frontline general, and when his subordinates passed the online news to him.

His face immediately changed.

He almost had the urge to shoot that bastard.

"The timing for a strike on Mexico is gone!"

He paced around the office, brows furrowed as he shook his head vigorously.

"So... should we stop the movement?" the adjutant asked softly, feeling uncertain himself; even though California next door has been hit like that, while New Mexico seems all fancy with special operations groups, only those within know how much of it is just bluster.

"No way!"

"We're not going to attack Mexico, we'll hit Texas instead!"

Admiral Frederick Franks suddenly turned around, walked to the map, and said to the adjutant, "Order the 58th Special Operations Regiment to raid Amarillo, secure key points and open the passage for subsequent forces."

"Also, order Oklahoma to advance, launch a two-pronged attack against Paul Constantine Stuart, targeting Plano and Cedar Mountain area, we must suppress the armed forces in Texas here."

"I want to beat his brains out!"

The adjutant froze for a moment, quickly pulling out his notebook to jot down. While operations plans must undergo repeated scrutiny by the staff, in the ever-changing battlefield, many decisions have to be made by the commander himself.

"What if Mexico's forces in Chihuahua State march south..."

Admiral Frederick Franks suddenly fell silent, his brows resembling a "chuan" shape, "Deploy the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg in North Carolina..."

"The Airborne Division isn't for defense; since we're fighting, let's go all in!"

"Airstrike Juarez." He said, circling a finger on the map, "Centralize tactical air support from the 377th Air Base Squadron, with swift infiltration into the border of Arkansas by the 101st Air Assault from Kentucky, and ensure they can't send reinforcements to Texas."

Going this big?

It's basically mobilizing the Southern States all together.

Even Li Yunlong didn't set such a huge scene back then.

What if it goes awry?

"General, isn't the battle kind of stretched too far?" The adjutant hesitated.

"Chihuahua State only has one Mexican unit, which must be spread out across the whole state, at most Juarez can have two divisions, by the time they redeploy from elsewhere, it'll take at least eight hours, during which our main attack will focus on the western side of Texas."

Paul Constantine Stuart is clearly easier to bully than Victor.

The most important thing is, hitting Texas will show the Pentagon's determination, and later when anyone within wants independence, they'll have to think twice.
