Logically, things shouldn't have gotten this far, so why did they turn out this way?

It seemed as if an invisible force was influencing the political situation within the United States, but when he observed carefully, he couldn't find where this force was.

Unless he's willing to come to the chilling conclusion that America's upper-middle-class elites betrayed the country and were perfectly happy to have turned it into what it is today.

Why? What benefit would they gain from doing this? Chaos, for the old order, means the destruction of their vested interests. This is why those who benefited from the old order are often conservatives; they wish their good fortune could remain forever, because they truly have two powerful allies.

Such outrageous inferences cannot explain the current situation in the United States at all, or even if they could, they would make the whole problem even more outrageous and create even bigger problems.

"Henry (Kissinger's full name is Henry Kissinger), why do you think America has become like this? Am I wrong?"

"Your Excellency, you have not done anything wrong, but some things will not go wrong just because you have not done anything wrong."

During this time, Kissinger stayed by the president's side. He knew very well that the president in front of him was ambitious and capable. Although he might sometimes seem a bit unconventional, he was truly considering the future of the entire United States, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was working tirelessly for it.

This can be seen from the development of the entire western United States.

Eisenhower was a typical president who built the nation on industrial strength. He unconditionally supported all industrial development projects that could promote the growth of American power, while his attitude towards financial capital was one of control and suppression. As a result, the West, which was relatively weak in industrial strength during the American Civil War, actually achieved great development in the industrial field and was even able to effectively suppress the industrial capacity of the East (of course, there was also the help of players to balance the production capacity).

This would have been almost impossible in the past, but look at the huge number of blue-collar workers in the American West today. That is all thanks to the wise leadership of the President and the foundation of an industrial powerhouse.

In contrast, the Democratic Party in the East did many astonishingly bad things, but even though things had developed to this point, they still had enough power to rival the West, causing the Civil War to drag on in a stalemate. The war of attrition turned into an even more brutal war of attrition, constantly devouring all the resources and lives on American soil.

Both sides are now completely enraged and compromise or negotiation is impossible, at least for now. Both sides are thinking of tearing the other apart, devouring everything in the other's possession to strengthen themselves, and then rebuilding the entire United States according to their own model.

Indeed, both the Democratic and Republican parties, along with the industrial and financial capital they represent, believe they are the future of America and are steadfastly fulfilling this sacred mission.

This is the most unsettling thing: when did you capitalists and politicians develop such a strange sense of sanctity?

Greedy people have a sense of mission, which is quite twisted, but it is this twistedness that greatly prolongs the confrontation between the United States and the West, and turns the war from a war of interests into a war of beliefs. And the cruelty of a war of beliefs is often greater than that of a war of interests.

In short, I don't understand it at all. After all, you can't see into someone's heart. When a bunch of people think this way, you can't just crack open their skulls to see what's inside, can you?

Silence fell over the Oval Office; neither the robot nor Trump seemed to be thinking anything.

Just then, the president's secretary knocked on the door and came in, his face filled with anxiety and fear.

"Mr. President, the enemy has used nuclear weapons on the front lines."

"What did you say!?"

Trump and Kissinger were shocked.

After verifying the authenticity of the intelligence, both men realized that the American Civil War was completely out of control, and what followed was a fight to the death between the enemy and themselves.

Although the two sides fought fiercely before, neither side used weapons of mass destruction. This can be considered a tacit understanding, even if it wasn't a tacit agreement. After all, if nuclear bombs were to appear on the battlefield of a civil war, then the war could only end if one side were completely wiped out.

Capitalists are very afraid of death. They can accept artillery shells flying around within a range of tens or hundreds of kilometers, but they cannot accept nuclear bombs flying over their heads. Only when they are far enough away from the front line do capitalists have the courage to support a war.

But who could have imagined that the Democratic Party and Jewish financial capital on the other side would actually have the audacity to use nuclear weapons to gain a local advantage on the battlefield? They've completely overturned the table.

The news quickly spread throughout the American West. The idea that the Democratic Jewish capitalist group had used nuclear weapons immediately broke the defenses of the Republican industrial capitalist group.

Okay, okay, so this is how you play the game, is it? When we're following the rules, you pull this stunt on us. Do you really think we'll be scared and kneel down in front of you? Don't even think about it. Even negotiations will only begin after we've beaten you to a pulp!

Compared to the "good sons" of the Democratic Party, the "rednecks" of the Republican Party are clearly more combative.

Or to put it more extremely, they are less afraid of death; to die for their beliefs is, in their view, a very honorable thing.

Therefore, after the United States in the East used nuclear weapons, the United States in the West quickly retaliated on the battlefield.

Do you think I don't have nuclear weapons? Do you think I wouldn't dare use them?

Now both sides understand that things have progressed to the point where it comes down to who is more afraid of death, and the one who is least afraid of death will win everything after the war.

It's like the cowardly games that American gangsters often play.

Both sides are putting maximum pressure on each other, and Trump has once again delivered a tough speech through various channels.

He knew very well that if he didn't take a tough stance, the interests of western America would not be protected, and the American people would neither be able nor willing to support a coward who couldn't protect their interests.

With a nuclear bomb detonating on the American front lines, both sides experienced varying degrees of turmoil. However, during the initial assault, American soldiers on both sides bypassed the radiation zone, resulting in the actual battlefield impact of the nuclear bomb not being as significant as initially thought.

Back then, the Soviet Union knew that if it wanted to quickly sweep across Europe with its steel might, the simplest way would be to use nuclear weapons to pave the way, and then have tanks equipped with NBC protection systems rush through the nuclear radiation zone and advance deep into enemy territory.

However, American tanks were clearly not equipped with such comprehensive NBC protection systems, or perhaps the American Civil War started too quickly, and the modernization and upgrading of the American military had not kept up. American soldiers obviously lacked the courage to charge into the radiation-filled positions after a nuclear explosion with steel monsters that had no NBC protection systems.

Of course, there are still some daredevils who dare to do this, but their fate is often very tragic, because radiation sickness is now considered a terminal illness in the United States, and one that will make you die in excruciating pain.

After many heroes sacrificed themselves, those remaining were mostly rational cowards. As a result, the two American armies on the front lines reached a tacit agreement: they would never go to the area where a nuclear bomb had exploded. Consequently, the area of ​​the battle between the two sides became smaller and smaller, even forming a battlefield spectacle resembling thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

With the war progressing to such a brutal stage, even the soldiers on the front lines had their own thoughts.

It's worth noting that towards the end of World War I, French frontline troops even considered mutiny, intending to overthrow the government in the rear by force.

Similarly, American soldiers also wanted to use their weapons to reason with the politicians.

The pressure building up on the front lines has increased the likelihood of this happening dramatically; all that's missing is a catalyst.

Despite such a repressive atmosphere, there were still forces that thrived: the reorganized Communist Party of the United States.

That's right, it's the Communist Party of the United States. You didn't expect that, did you? They are still surviving and have embarked on the right revolutionary path.

If the United States enjoys internal harmony and stability, and economic prosperity, the development of the Communist Party of the United States will be difficult. After all, as long as people have food to eat, the vast majority of them will remain obedient.

But in the United States today, let alone having food to eat, you might even be forcibly conscripted while walking down the street and then die unexpectedly on the front lines.

In terms of being inhumane, the Democratic and Republican parties are no different. In order to solve their own manpower problems, both sides have not only crammed a large number of illegal immigrants into the military, but also added a great many mentally ill, disabled, and homeless people.

Such an army, composed almost entirely of scum and scoundrels, can only be called a bandit army.

Is this a country's army? It can only be called exile to the army.

These guys even killed more of their own people than the enemy in the army. In some units with a high proportion of scoundrels, the other American troops around them were unwilling to be stationed with them. Even though it was a straight temporary trench, they were thrown out as a protrusion.

In the end, a strange tacit understanding even formed between the two sides: to take out the group in the protruding part first, because these people deserved to die, and other enemy troops in the surrounding area would not come to reinforce them while they were being attacked.

Once they have annihilated this salient force, they can use their dog tags to claim their reward.

You love me, I love you, our love is so sweet~

The two sides helped each other gain battle merits, and even developed a bond of camaraderie in the process.

But the congressmen sitting in the rear see that the battle lines on the front have not changed much, which makes them seriously unhappy.

I'll provide the money, you'll risk your lives—that's perfectly fair. Now you're all standing still? Are you trying to embezzle my money? You deserve to die!

So both sides' U.S. governments sent supervisory teams to the front lines. You might think this was a great idea, but to their surprise, the supervisory teams were killed by artillery fire on the way, and the reported reason was that the enemy had done it.

It was definitely the enemy who did it, but who gave us the coordinates is another matter.

As a president who lost two key accountants during an audit of the U.S. military's accounts, Trump immediately realized the danger of the situation.

The frontline troops, having been forged into fierce and arrogant soldiers through the American Civil War, are now starting to become somewhat unruly.

But the United States cannot afford to lose a powerful military. In other words, it has no choice but to tolerate this, even if it doesn't want to. Otherwise, its own military might turn on its own people, resulting in a US version of punishing traitors.

As expected of the father of Japan, the US is so fashionable too.

Trump immediately reassured the military leaders, saying that the incident was just an accident and that he would have complete faith in the performance of the US troops on the front lines. He assured them that no more supervisory teams would be sent, and that they could rest assured.

After making his verbal statement, Trump immediately instructed Kissinger to begin privately assembling his own presidential guard.

He had a feeling that this unit would be useful in a critical moment; at the very least, it could cover his escape.

At this time, another problem caused by the civil war gradually surfaced: the loss of control over the country's internal military forces.

War will gradually give the army independence. After all, the battlefield is ever-changing. If you expect the rear to constantly interfere with the front and disrupt the micromanagement of the troops, you can only end up like Chiang Kai-shek and Wanyan Gou.

Therefore, you must give frontline generals enough power. Through these temporary authorizations, the frontline troops will gradually gain control of the local economy, finance, and personnel. After all, the guns are in their hands, and most people will think that what the other side says makes a lot of sense when faced with the dark muzzle of a gun.

Historical experience tells us that such armies were the prelude to regional warlordism.

Yes, America's knife is starting to get out of control.

Section 46: The Faith Terminator

For imperialist countries, military force is everything; without overwhelming military force, they have nothing.

If one engages in imperialism without overwhelming military power, it will become like India, getting brutally beaten by a powerful force that should never have been its enemy, and subsequently paying a huge price in defense costs.

This kind of mess shouldn't have happened in the first place, which is why India is so amazing.

The new India certainly wouldn't do such a mess. They have a good relationship with Xinhua and the United People's Revolutionary Alliance. Other small countries that have gained independence from India don't have the ability to compete for regional hegemony, and Pakistan is even less capable. It's even busy dealing with its own internal chaos, which is incredibly stressful.

In contrast, the United States is clearly a country that perfectly embodies the characteristics of imperialism. Unfortunately, they are now speeding down the road to the abyss. The US military, which has grown stronger due to war, is on the verge of spiraling out of control, and some of them are already eager to taste what it's like to sit on the US presidential throne.

An emperor can be whoever has the strongest army and the most powerful troops, and so can a president.

In modern imperialist countries that inherited the Roman system of slavery, the succession to the presidency should also be decided by the Imperial Guard.

This is the situation on the Republican side as well; it will only be worse on the Democratic side. When the players are willing to help the two parties in the US fight each other, the US military can definitely maintain stability, and even if problems arise, it can be quickly suppressed. But if the players feel they've reached their limit and don't want to continue, or simply become part of the chaos, the US military will immediately spiral out of control. A storm is brewing.

Meanwhile, the US military bases abroad have already been shut down by local governments or by the red camp. Without the support of their motherland, these overseas bases of the United States are extremely vulnerable. In fact, if locals cut off the water and electricity to the US military bases and stage a strong protest, the US military itself will not be able to hold on.

The thing is quite ridiculous: even though things have developed to this point, some countries' leaders are still crying and begging the US military to stay, clinging to their coattails and refusing to let go.

Can't you guys have any backbone?!

Sorry, not even a little bit.

These countries share a common characteristic: they are "forced independence countries." They were previously merely resource colonies of Western colonialists, lacking any national development and infrastructure that only served the purpose of resource extraction. In essence, these so-called countries are just regions that are unable to maintain their own stability. Although the US military is known as the "virgin terminator" and a top-tier military force, often refusing to engage in any human-like activities, their presence has indeed maintained stability in the region through force. Local warlords and tribal chiefs must give them face.

The worst order is better than no order at all.

But now, Xinhua and the Soviet Union have helped them stand up, but their bones haven't fully grown yet. You can't expect a baby to learn to run immediately.

Some areas are still primitive tribes; expecting them to jump straight into modern society is really asking too much.

The Soviet Union was currently infatuated with Miss Europe and had no interest in taking any action in other regions. The polar bear, which was in a state of overeating, was too lazy to move. However, these regions that had lost the US military really needed order from a powerful country.

For example, the Middle East.

This place is chaotic not only when Israel and the United States are there, but also when these two countries are not there. Within the Arab countries, people often fight each other to the death. Sunnis and Shiites don't get along, Persians and Arabs don't get along, Islam and other religions don't get along, and conservatives and radicals within each religion's faction don't get along either. Then, even the smallest issues can lead to various intense conflicts.

Honestly, even the Manchu Han Imperial Feast isn't this dazzling and colorful. The endless variety of Sichuan cuisine is truly a must-try.

Although there is oil there, to be honest, with the United Nations' synthetic oil technology, the cost of those oil resources is not even as low as the cost of the United Nations' synthetic oil. Moreover, this oil is converted from various kinds of waste, which can be said to have squeezed the resource utilization rate to the extreme, thus minimizing the allure of Middle Eastern oil in advance.

At this point, the benefits of intervening in the local conflict become negligible, but doing so will certainly result in deaths.

However, universal harmony is the inevitable path to communism, so the Soviet Union, Xinhua, and the People's Revolutionary Committee held a private meeting and divided up their respective areas of responsibility.

In Asia, the Soviet Union simply abandoned the idea, knowing it couldn't compete with Xinhua and the People's Revolutionary Alliance. If things really turned sour, the People's Revolutionary Alliance could easily crush the Soviet Union. They even fully opened up the Central Asian corridor to facilitate Xinhua and the People's Revolutionary Alliance's Belt and Road Initiative. However, this time, the Belt and Road Initiative would need to increase its armed forces, as the security environment along the route would severely test the survival ability of carbon-based life forms.

"My personal attitude toward Israel is very simple: the Jews can't be wiped out. Massacres won't solve any problems; they'll only create more. But we can shatter their faith." Qin Shan revealed his trump card—the disintegration of their faith.

Look at what players are doing in India. Judaism, a religion with symbolic faith, is not easy to dismantle. Moreover, Judaism itself is too radical and highly exclusive, which is wrong for modern civilization. Such extreme sentiments should be eliminated.

Burning books directly is useless; faith is a very stubborn thing. But you can use new doctrines to cover up the original doctrines and then add the content we want.

Soon, a group of carefully selected, highly professional superhuman players began to enter Jewish communities to preach, and they were also present in Israel. While preaching, they also targeted Jewish extremists.

The earliest form of terrorism was created by Jews, and behind these dark events, there are the shadows of large Jewish financial groups.

They must pay the price for their actions, and that price is the lives of their entire family.

A family should always be together; that's true love (I'm sure of it).

However, the introduction of so many extraordinary individuals into the Jewish community at once would cause another major problem: Judaism would experience severe ideological confusion.

There's a Jesus here performing a ritual of cooking himself in an iron pot—it's a miracle!

There's also a Jesus performance with a ten-ton cross and windmill over there—it's a miracle!

Holy crap! Look, there's even a Jesus bathing in lava! This is absolutely a miracle!

From the perspective of the extraordinary, this is clearly abstract art, but to ordinary Jews, they are convinced that this is indeed God himself. As for what he is called, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he is God, who has done things that ordinary people cannot do, and can really resurrect.

If a single God did this, the Jews would immediately kneel at that person's feet. But now, a bunch of Gods have suddenly descended, displaying various miracles and punishing disloyal believers on the spot, such as "Burning Familiars," "Hiroshima Warmth," "Nagasaki Burning," and "Tokyo Thief Hot," etc. Burning at the stake is an important part of Christianity. If you don't like it, don't play it.

If a person is truly wicked, God himself will execute him, tearing out his heart and lungs on the spot.

As a result, when Arab countries were planning a new holy war against Israel, a major internal religious infighting broke out within Israel. Various factions accused each other of being heretics and then used the terrorist attacks that had been used against Arabs in the past on their own people, resulting in a very lively and chaotic conflict.

Some shrewd Jewish leaders sensed a conspiracy, but it was no use. Those "Gods" could perform genuine miracles. Some Jewish leaders had sent assassins to kill these Gods, but some Gods caught bullets with their bare hands, and some Gods, even after being shot in the head, calmly communicated with their followers. One even demonstrated how to drill his temple with his index finger and then heal his wound in full view of everyone.

You're saying they're vampires or demons in disguise?

Honey, they're preaching and spreading their teachings in front of everyone under the blazing sun. What kind of demon or vampire is so arrogant?

So you're not even afraid of the sun anymore? Fine, fine, this isn't your average vampire. We can't hesitate, we have to strike hard.

So someone sent a self-destructing truck to God, but after the explosion, God himself was unharmed and even helped believers, resurrecting those whom God called "meritorious" and "unworthy of death".

Actually, the player knew healing spells, but was powerless to do anything about the completely shattered corpses, so he could only choose a few relatively intact corpses to use.
