But it was too late. The rooms had blocked off the roads, and the numerous wooden structures and furniture had sealed the doors and windows, creating an ideal ignition point for the already flammable building. The flames ignited the wooden structures and then spread outwards along the walls. The White House's alarm and fire suppression systems had been preemptively shut down by the rebels, thus failing to stop the fires.

Secret Service agents and insurgents are still engaged in gun battles, making it difficult for the army to advance smoothly.

The entire West Wing of the White House gradually engulfed in flames.

The wooden and iron filing cabinets piled up in front of the basement door, which were used as barricades to resist the rebels, now blocked the road to the bunker while the fire was raging. In addition, many parts of the old building had collapsed due to disrepair, making it impossible for everyone to enter and rescue them.

Residents around Washington, D.C., live-streamed the insurrection on their phones. After finally managing to drive away and scatter Secret Service agents, the rebels hurriedly began firefighting efforts.

But it was too late. Once the fire started, it was difficult to put out. It burned for most of the day before the rebels found fire trucks and sprayed water to extinguish the fire.

After the fire, the White House became the Black House.

The rebels opened the gates, looked down, used large iron hooks to pull open the warped, charred iron cabinets, pushed aside the smoldering charcoal, and stormed into the White House bunker.

In the basement of the West Wing of the White House, the fire was smoldering and the poor ventilation made it feel like a stuffy canister. The area was deformed in many places, and several unidentifiable bodies lay in the corridor.

The worst thing happened.

Pushing open the door to the Oval Office, Obama sat at his desk, his body charred beyond recognition by the fire. It resembled Kobe Bryant's remains, burned to ashes after a helicopter crash.

If it weren't for the confirmation that he was the only one in the office, no one would even know who was who among the many people who were burned to death in the bunker.

This time, it really is 'obama out'.

When the mad dog Soltz saw this, his expression changed drastically:

"broken..."

That wasn't the original plan.

In Chinese culture, this is called "punishing someone without cause is cruelty".

In American culture, this is absolutely blatant 'betrayal'.

In other words, the Pentagon, the First Army, the Presidential Defense Force, and the CIA orchestrated an extreme and brutal murder of the president without charge.

In any country, this is an undeniable crime of treason.

......

"Alarm...alarm..."

Under the heavy, gray clouds that blanketed Washington, residents received news that they were not allowed to leave their homes on Christmas Day and that a fire had broken out at the White House.

But such lies are somewhat unhelpful.

Because anyone had already seen the scene of the gunfight between the rebels and the Secret Service at the White House through platforms such as Twitter and TikTok, and even from several social media platforms in China.

The rebels claim that the White House fire killed Obama.

Therefore, they had to urgently form a temporary governing committee, with Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Grady serving as acting chairman.

But the people simply couldn't believe that on this auspicious day, the president was inexplicably killed by the rebels. They thought it was clearly them who set fire to the White House and burned Obama black.

"Treason!"

The citizens shouted at the rebels.

Americans are instinctively guided by a binary view of things as either black or white.

Regardless, Obama was arguably a relatively human president. Moreover, his performance in his final year seemed very much in line with Protestant philosophy; he managed to clean up the massive social wounds inflicted by Trump's shock therapy and mend the mess left by Vance's haphazard military operations—a commendable achievement. His latest national clothing project, reminiscent of old-school Puritan religious philosophy, is well-suited to New England tastes, while the leaked Industrial Dollar plan reflects an ambition similar to Roosevelt's New Deal reforms.

Moreover, Obama's personal morality was relatively acceptable, unlike Trump's entire family, who were all corrupt and took advantage of the country, and who were extremely abstract in their approach to abstract matters.

When a person who seemed to have decent public and private morals, who had messed up a lot but hadn't made any major mistakes recently and even seemed to have achieved some political success, was burned alive by the US military in his office in the basement of the White House, and who was rumored to be trying his best to outline a blueprint for American revival before he died, the anger of the American public inevitably flared up.

Obama was once considered the greatest common denominator among Americans.

The US military, which has aided and abetted evildoers and committed numerous atrocities over the years, has really nothing to boast about, nor can it be called great.

"Oppose the rebels!"

Anti-rebel movements have sprung up in more major cities.

Especially in New York, where the Communist Party was active, the Rat People crawled out from underground and formed the first Communist Peace Army of New York. They began to organize citizens to disrupt traffic and prevent the rebels from attacking New York.

Amid a nationwide wave of opposition, the rebels gradually began to feel that they were losing ground.

And more importantly, Obama was Black. While he had a significant number of Black opponents, many more Black people instinctively supported him. He hadn't committed any major wrongdoing, yet he was burned alive in the White House by the Pentagon. Is that reasonable?

The Black community's consistent tendency to suddenly riot has failed. This time, high-ranking members of Black churches, including the Black Methodist Church, the Detroit Black Baptist Church, the African Methodist Church, the Holy Church, the Pentecostal Church, and the National Baptist Church, have mobilized collectively, sending a massive number of pastors and personnel at the highest frequency, calling on all Black people to unite and fight to the end against the Pentagon rebels.

As is well known, the civil rights movement of the 60s gave rise to a privileged class of Black churches, whose status among Black people was roughly equivalent to that of various white political families among white people. Politicians from Black church families monopolized the political status of the Black community.

Therefore, the Black people did not cause chaos this time, but instead collectively stormed the local government and police stations, demanding that they not obey the orders of the rebels.

The dark Christmas season is over.

White snowflakes covered Obama's blackened remains. The rebels hastily held a state funeral for Obama in Washington, D.C., with drums and gongs, and buried the burned-out Obama in a cemetery in the snow.

But the resentment in the eyes of the citizens on the roadside was burning as fiercely as the fire that destroyed the White House.

......

It's also Christmas.

European media outlets across the country expressed their regret, saying:

"The entire year of 2034 will be a year of war."

In just one year, the situation in Europe and the United States has undergone such tremendous political changes: the EU has disintegrated, the Blue Flag has fallen, and political turmoil has swept across the Atlantic like an 18-magnitude earthquake, eroding the defenses of all countries.

The news of Obama's death at the hands of rebels burning down the White House once again shocked the world.

Regardless, this is one of the worst international news stories of the year, and it has drawn attention to the fact that the United States, as a world power, now seems to have entered a period of extreme turmoil.

Li Xinghe, who had just returned to Tokyo and landed a few days prior, heard the terrible news:

"Obama is dead."

"He was burned to death in the White House bunker, scorched by the fire until he was a dried-up human mummy."

May was amazed by Gaotiao.

When Obama left office, he jokingly said "Obama out," imitating Kobe Bryant's "Mamba out." Now he really is out, just like Kobe.

Li Xinghe tapped the table:

"Finally...it finally erupted..."

Throughout the past winter, the coalition forces have been deploying as many mobile troops as possible, stockpiling them in Hawaii, Alaska, and Baja California.

Meanwhile, the European command was also mobilizing troops in an attempt to enter the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean.

The goal is simple: to prevent the US coup team from messing things up.

Because this is not a good thing.

The repatriation of $300 trillion from the United States is a figure even more insane than the explosion of an atomic bomb. So much currency cannot all become worthless at once; the Americans must be made to reclaim the entire mess left by their ancestors in order to maintain social stability.

In other words, Li Xinghe had to intervene urgently to save the United States.

If they refuse to recognize the dollar, or if they completely destroy the dollar market, the resulting explosion of these currencies would be far more devastating than the detonation of one or two atomic bombs. It could trigger a global economic crisis, derailing the process of China and Li Xinghe's attempt to create a new global political and economic system, and dragging the entire world into a quagmire.

Li Xinghe had no choice but to abandon his New Year's plans and begin urgently mobilizing various troops to intervene in the American rebellion.

"Should we attack the American insurgents?" Takajo Satsuki asked.

"How can we be the only ones going?"

Li Xinghe believes that China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the new Soviet Union, and North Korea should all work together.

Russia is out of the question; the Russians are known for their ruthlessness during wartime and are more likely to cause trouble abroad.

After listing the troops, Li Xinghe raised his eyebrows:

"This is called the new Eight-Nation Alliance entering the United States."

After watching it, Gao Tiao Wuyue couldn't help but laugh. It's a very Chinese-style meme.

From 1900 to 2034, 134 years have passed, and we have returned to a new starting point for dramatic changes in the historical landscape.

Chapter 148 The Justice League marches on America! (4000 words)

"Who would like to be the next president...?"

"Nobody's here..."

The Pentagon, or rather the core of the coup group, experienced a major internal split.

Mad Dog Solz is the most speechless.

He himself was an unlucky fellow, having been arrested by Li Xinghe, imprisoned in a Taipei military training camp, and stripped of his military command by Vance after completing the conquest of Canada and Mexico. Now, he is being ordered by the Pentagon to bear the enormous infamy of assassinating the president because of some idiotic quartermasters' reckless arms dealing.

After doing all this, the Pentagon actually dared to tell him, "We can't find anyone willing to take on the role of president at the moment?"

“Politicians are everywhere on the streets, those shameful politicians are as numerous as cockroaches in my toilet, and you’re saying you can’t find a suitable person right now?” Solz was really going to turn into a mad dog.

Are you suggesting I, a soldier, should take the blame for such a huge burden?

Can I carry it?

Bald Grady remained silent; he truly couldn't find a suitable person.

This despicable act is arguably the most fundamentally destabilizing act in American history.

Former US presidents, including the Clintons and the Bush family, all immediately fled to their respective roots. The Clintons went to Pennsylvania, and George W. Bush fled to the Texas border. In addition, Pelosi and Harris rushed back to California to seek refuge, while populist figures like AOC and Omar went into hiding among the general public.

Almost all the politicians fled in all directions. The most fanatical group of Liberal Party members in the legislature were unwilling to stay and make peace with the coup forces, and fled to their home state of Florida.

There is only one word to describe the current situation.

out of control.

Everything is rapidly spiraling out of control.

The original goal was to kidnap Obama, end the American recovery period, and allow the US military to resume operations and restore the global status of the dollar.

All of these decisions came to naught when Obama's plane crashed.

By the time the U.S. military quickly identified the cause of the accident and located the quartermaster who had been reselling grenades to underground gangs, it was too late.

Although the quartermaster was immediately imprisoned on charges of 'accidentally causing the president's death,' the outcome was darkly ironic. No one believed he was responsible for Obama's death.

Even he himself didn't believe it.

At this moment, Chairman Christopher Grady uttered a Napoleonic lament:

"The loss of a horseshoe is the loss of an empire. The U.S. military must pay attention to ammunition conservation."

If that damned quartermaster hadn't smuggled that box of smoke grenade launchers, things wouldn't be like this today. But then again, if it weren't for all this shoddy weaponry being sold around, the American officers wouldn't even be able to maintain themselves.

The US military leadership, which caused all of this, has never reflected on whether they should stop their insatiable demands and give their junior officers and soldiers a way to survive.

Amidst the thick fog of strategic uncertainty, the CIA, accustomed to operating invisibly, has already made its escape.

The FBI became the second to announce a defection.

The states, counties, cities, and government personnel of various departments, who used tribal-style boundaries to distinguish the status of the two sides, gradually began to defect.

With the United States seemingly on the verge of collapse, Chairman Grady could only find an unlucky scapegoat in the chaos.

"We found Michael Jackson."

A former Speaker of the House, a lurking, polite little leader of the MAGA movement, who rose to the top as the youngest Speaker thanks to Trump's influence.

People occasionally call him Mike Johnson. Before he was supported by Trump to become Speaker of the House, he was unknown. Nobody knew who Mike Jackson was. If you didn't know, you might think that MJ had flown back from the underworld.

In fact, he served as Speaker of the House for many years, but in the later years, the House of Representatives became less important, so his main business now is providing political consulting in Washington, helping people who want to get in touch with the White House to smooth things over.

Chairman Grady, accompanied by a group of generals and intelligence chiefs, broke into Michael Jackson's room:

"We've made our decision, you'll be the President of the United States!"

It was indeed pried open; the red paint residue from the friction on the pry bar was still clearly visible.

"No, I'm not going."

Mr. Mike was very resistant.

He lacked his own policy stance; he was a far-right imposter, a lawyer and political participant in far-right organizations despite his university education. In America at that time, a man without immense personal and political charisma was unfit to step onto the most cutting-edge political stage.

But he couldn't stop it.
