Chapter 619: "Stealing a Country" Is the Most Profitable!
Victor was dumbfounded by the news and pulled up a chair, "Tell me in detail."
It turned out that on that day, the US 7th Infantry Division's 32nd Infantry Regiment and 17th Infantry Regiment looted Albuquerque, scattered and ran off, with some taking weapons and equipment home while others surrendered to local gangs.
Of course, there were also those who returned to Lewis-McCord Joint Base in Washington State.
When Mexico demanded that the United States hand over the culprits, these bastards panicked. When The Pentagon sent people over to inquire, the audacious Major William Hudson, the commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, shot and killed the "imperial envoy."
Riling up the soldiers, they gathered around the division commander and stormed into Tacoma City, Washington, just 15 kilometers away, and started looting!
"They killed anyone they saw, regardless of gender or age. The gangs in Tacoma City couldn't stand it and fought them in the city, but the disparity between them was huge. After three hours, the gangs were scattered, and the 7th Infantry Division officially occupied Tacoma City, declaring themselves in 'revolt'!"
"They backed Major General Wall Nash as the president of the rebel army, conquering other cities in Washington State, looting every city and town they encountered!"
Rohus Mishi finished speaking, while Casare glanced at his boss.
"Interesting."
Victor couldn't help but laugh, "So they knew they wanted to die, so they started rebelling with the masses? They've got brains, but not much."
In this day and age, you're still playing this game of looting with your soldiers?
In the past, communication was not advanced, and the brothers only had leaders above them, but now it's different. While they're having fun looting, if the U.S. really sends troops to suppress them, someone will surrender in minutes, and everyone understands that this kind of 'terrorist organization' has no way out.
Even the sandal-wearing soldiers in the Middle East know that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
"Actually, the rebellion of the 7th Infantry Division is not so sudden," Casare suddenly said from the side.
Victor turned his gaze to him, indicating for him to continue.
"It's said that the U.S. Army hasn't been paid in three months, the Navy for more than a month, overseas bases have canceled subsidies and so on, and the promised compensation has been heavily discounted. While the instability of the military is unexpected, it is also to be expected."
Haven't been paid for 3 months?
How the hell can they endure that?
But honestly speaking, during peacetime it might have been tolerable, but now with America's internal strife and the US-Mexico conflict, how can you owe me money during wartime?
And it's my buddy in the Army too!
Do you really think I'm an idiot?
Three months of upheaval is already being lenient with the big shots; in wilder places, they would have already beheaded the leaders.
"But that's not right, the U.S. Military shouldn't be short on money. They're trafficking drugs globally with the Three-leaf Association, so how could they be short on cash?" Rohus Mishi asked sullenly.
"When you make money yourself, do you share it with the guys watching the door?"
Casare retorted, looking disdainful, "The elites have never regarded soldiers and the public as human beings. This money, this money is not military funding; it's the private wallet of the lords."
Too greedy...
You've all had your fill of meat, and after eating, you even smashed the bowl, not even giving the brothers a chance to lick it clean.
What does it mean to be a president?
Throughout history, it has always belonged to those with strong soldiers and plenty of resources!
Casare looked rather serious, "Boss, I suggest that we immediately send troops to maintain stability in the two states. The US 7th Infantry Division has set a bad example. I fear that if this continues, other US troops may also rebel, and by then, the security situation in the U.S. could affect California and New Mexico."
This statement made a lot of sense.
When you see your neighbor suddenly getting rich, you never ask if their wealth was acquired legally; you ask if they can help you get a piece of the action.
Especially when violence starts to generate benefits, it's the most enticing and addictive.
If you look at thousands of years of Asian history, those military leaders knew that looting with soldiers was not good, but why did they all indulge in it?
Because it allows people to expose their inner ruthlessness and brutality, to enjoy the thrill brought by that moment, to dominate others' lives and deaths.
Victor's expression turned solemn, "Get me on the phone with the Northern and Eastern Theater Command."
"Yes!"
...
During World War II, the U.S. Military internally had units of black troops. Why? Because you black dogs weren't worthy of working with us.
Not even worthy of dying together!
Although these groups were disbanded after World War II, led by the 24th Regiment, the 92nd Division, the 6888th Battalion, and the 383rd Marine Corps Platoon, there is still quite a bit of racial discrimination within the U.S. Military.
No discrimination, no U.S. Military!
So the issue with the 7th Infantry Division cannot be suppressed.
As soon as it's revealed by American media, the ever "trouble-making" black community starts to stir. No one knows zero-dollar shopping better than us blacks!
On September 4th, The Pentagon declared the 7th Infantry Division as rebels and ordered a full crackdown!
On the night of September 6th, high-ranking officials from The Pentagon inspected the 10th Infantry Division at Fort Drum, New York. That night, some gathered for gambling were caught by the inspecting personnel, and the accompanying 10th Infantry Division staff immediately gave several gamblers a couple of slaps, with angry shouts echoing.
No one expected one of them to angrily unlock the safety, shoot the officers, and kill the leading division commander, deputy division commander, and chief of staff, shouting, "The Pentagon is muddle-headed and immoral, march into Virginia and kill Norman Schwarzkopf!"
That night, hundreds to thousands of soldiers looted Jefferson County and had intense clashes with the local National Guard, with gangs joining in to protect their homes.
What a... farcical dark comedy.
