"Recruit police officers."

"Recruiting translators..."

The coalition forces expanded in all directions across California, heading north to support the Bigfoot People's Army and south to find the Dune Independence Army in Baja California.

Californians were astonished to find that social order and the economy seemed to have improved.

......

In the former mayor's meeting room in San Francisco, Li Xinghe and Gao Tiaowuyue sat together, waiting for their booked guests.

They were waiting for former California governor Gavin Newsom.

This guy, known for his good looks, excellent family background, and empty talk but lack of real ability, is a useless person handpicked by Li Xinghe's team.

He's good at abstract concepts and comes from a good family; he'd be a perfect candidate for president.

Lacking ability indicates an inability to govern independently, which is precisely the kind of talent Li Xinghe needs.

Outside the door, Gavin Newsom and his aunt Pelosi were talking in hushed tones:

"Does he want our Pacific coast to become independent, or...?"

California's political families have a deep understanding of political realities. They share a consensus that Li Xinghe will inevitably divide the United States, allowing the West Coast and East Coast to become independent. It seems that only in this way can the United States be divided and ruled.

Therefore, before they arrived, the political families in California actually made many preparations, and they put forward a variety of independence plans, including 'West Coast Independence', 'California Independence', and 'Colorado Union'.

"Please come in."

As soon as the gate opened, Musashi Hachima, the woman standing at the entrance, smiled and pulled it open.

In the room at that moment, envoys from eight countries—China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the Soviet Union, and North Korea—stood together, with Gavin Newsom sitting in front of them like a big white woman.

The scene was so evocative that even the accompanying reporters couldn't resist taking photos discreetly.

Five Black One Hundred.avi.

Li Xinghe quickly came out of the lounge and shook hands with Gavin Newsom.

Newsom delivered an American-style fake smile:

"Ah, hello. Welcome back to your hometown, Prime Minister Lee."

Li Xinghe generously said:

"I congratulate you on your upcoming leadership of the United States."

Li Xinghe gave a very direct hint.

After internal discussions, the G8 concluded that dividing the United States was a foolish move, as it would only create enemies and breed hatred. Moreover, it was truly unnecessary; a financial tsunami involving trillions of dollars should be left for the Americans to experience.

Therefore, they should be allowed to engage in de facto political division, but not complete separation, while simultaneously bearing a huge debt and focusing their energy on internal strife.

"I..."

Gavin Newsom didn't expect such an unexpected bonus.

Li Xinghe smiled and waved his hand, eagerly offering his political preferential treatment:

"We come with a mission of justice, how can we talk about compensation? In fact, we want to help the United States with its political recovery. China and the Asia-Pacific complex will provide the United States with a very generous national loan program. We are willing to provide the US government with loans secured by US agricultural and industrial products, which will be used for the US government's stability maintenance expenses. We can also help you train your military and civil servants, especially the commissioners for the reconstruction of the devastated areas, to assist the US government in its recovery."

The California political families, witnessing this scene, blinked in disbelief, speechless for a moment.

No matter how you look at it, Li Xinghe is a classic example of repaying evil with kindness.

This is completely different from his past image as a little devil.

What's going on?

In fact, if Americans are familiar with the financial history of the Republic of China, they will remember that the main source of revenue for the Republic of China government was tariffs from European and American countries. Whenever tariffs were problematic, it was when the Republic of China government was at its weakest.

If Americans remember their history, they will recall how the Eight-Nation Alliance ravaged the Qing government. Now, all of that has come back in kind.

Moreover, East Asian retaliation is more elegant and benevolent, which means standing on the moral high ground to urinate and defecate anywhere, while also making Americans bear huge debts and keep paying them back.

The loans that Li Xinghe issued to the United States were all American money.

To demonstrate his benevolence, Li Xinghe even beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling that the Americans had misunderstood him:

"Why go any further? What could be better than this? We are all decent people. We can cooperate legally and reasonably, so why resort to trickery and extortion?"

There was no need for trickery or plunder, because at that time, the United States didn't have many valuable assets left. Besides the tracking satellites in the sky, several old aircraft carriers in dock, and a bunch of nuclear warheads whose remaining numbers were unknown, these things, including their less advanced technology labs and various laboratory projects, could simply be bought with money.

As for money, it was all free paper to Li Xinghe, and it was even an American quota, so he could just print it.

Only Takajo Satsuki, standing nearby, knew that this was less about tolerance and more about cruelty.

In the future, trillions of dollars will flow back from all over the world. If the US government wants to survive and doesn't want to be reduced to ashes, it must cooperate with China and the Asia-Pacific region to turn this massive, unpredictable flood into a noose around America's neck.

The United States will become an endless debt slave, following the lead of East Asian countries.

Some people might ask:

"What if America makes a comeback?"

That's impossible, of course.

Because they lack both a properly inherited industrial education system and a large number of industries and factories that can adapt to it, they only have a small part left in precision instrument processing, which is just one part of the world's vast industrial chain that is destined to be replaced.

Those once-renowned and top-tier American universities will soon go bankrupt or relocate due to a lack of government funding. The same applies to most laboratories and advanced technology departments.

The decline of intellectual resources will further exacerbate the already poor state of education in the United States.

These people, with an average IQ of 80 and who can't even do basic addition and subtraction within 100, can simply continue to lie happily on the North American plains. They don't need to figure out how many hidden pitfalls exist in their trade and financial dealings.

The future United States will be nothing more than a large agricultural and mining warehouse with relatively developed agriculture, relying on selling soybeans, corn, oil, and natural gas to slowly pay off its debts. It will lack advanced industry and university research centers, and its intellectually deficient population will be immersed in syrup, drugs, and endless debt. The dollar will fall steadily and systematically, burdened by an endless debt pit of compounding interest, becoming a super-sized North American Argentina.

People here still experience the enormous wealth gap, watching billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel frantically buy land and continue to cause trouble in American politics like freakish tycoons.

In this respect, the United States and India are quite similar.

The United States may still be considered a relatively large economy, and may still rank among the top five in the world, but its hegemony has been gone forever.

It will exist for a long time, but it will no longer be valued by people.

When the San Francisco talks concluded, the memorandum of understanding on funding and cooperation between the Eight-Nation Alliance and the United States, known as the "San Francisco Spirit," was made public across the country, causing a sensation throughout America.

Political families across the country began to stir up trouble, vying for a chance to be chosen by the Allied Forces.

Li Xinghe walked out of the conference room and, together with Gao Tiao Wuyue, gazed at the magnificent sunset over the Kinmen Strait:

"Take another look; this is America's last glance back."

Chapter 150 The Collapse of the Empire (4100 words)

2034 1 Month 10 Day.

The coalition forces occupied San Francisco and Los Angeles, and marched on Sacramento, the capital of California.

At this time, Li Xinghe was busy rebuilding social order in California, arresting drug dealers and criminal gangs everywhere. In order to solve the housing problem of these people, he temporarily transferred California judges to set up fast-track courts, where trials were conducted and executions were carried out on the same day.

Such brutality terrified the California criminal gang, who hurriedly fled to Nevada and Arizona. Meanwhile, the Californians felt that their fellow countrymen were indeed quick to take action.

In northern California, China, accompanied by the North Korean navy, landed in Seattle, the capital of Washington state. They apprehended a large number of wanted fugitives on Interpol's Red Notice list. That's fantastic—it's all money!

As a result, locals discovered that Chinese soldiers seemed to prefer tracking down wanted criminals rather than asking them for money. They carried thick lists of fugitives, which were then shared by locals and spread to cities in the Bay Area, including Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria.

Try your best to catch it, and you'll get a reward, in RMB!

In reality, arresting these fugitives on Interpol's Red Notice at this point would only mean bringing them back to China and executing them. Due to the sharp depreciation of the US dollar, the dollars held by these fugitives have become virtually worthless, while the RMB bounties offered for their capture have inflated several times over due to the exchange rate. However, given that these individuals committed extremely harmful acts against the people during China's difficult times, bringing them back to China and executing them is the best possible outcome.

Of course, being upright gentlemen, the Chinese Navy did steal some things. They secretly took the attack nuclear submarines and strategic nuclear submarines from the U.S. Navy's Bremerton submarine base west of Seattle back home to study and research them.

They didn't leave a single one for Li Xinghe, which led Li Xinghe to send Zhang Xiaoqian to argue with them, and only then did they manage to reclaim one of the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarines.

"We thought he had moved the entire Lockheed Martin nuclear submarine base in San Diego," the PLA representative explained confidently.

Lockheed Martin's naval base is in San Diego. Didn't you manage to get a single ship?

Li Xinghe really had nothing to say.

Several old attack submarines, such as the Santa Fe and Alexander, were indeed seized at the Loma Naval Base in San Diego, but he hadn't had time to pick them up. Moreover, these were all old ships from the 70s; there were no advanced models.

While the neighboring United States was in chaos, the Bigfoot army finally rose to power.

The Beastmen emerged from the forest and quickly reclaimed British Columbia, Alberta, and other areas.

The Canadian insurgents occupied Vancouver and, based on various ethnic groups including white Canadians and Chinese, began to establish a provisional constitutional government in Vancouver.

But they felt they should establish their own government on the west coast. Not wanting to be associated with the east coast of Canada, they were unwilling to continue calling themselves 'Canada' and began exploring more suitable names.

In particular, they wanted to expel those hateful, despicable immigrants from India. However, this was not a large number, because Indians had already been wiped out in previous waves of anti-Indian sentiment.

After secretly seizing American nuclear submarines, Li Xinghe started to get down to business.

In Sacramento, Li Xinghe invited Gavin Newsom and his family to a meeting to convene the 'American Justice Action Conference'.

Li Xinghe spoke about military discipline:

"Our first principle in making strategic arrangements with the United States is the U.S.-first policy. Wherever administrative or military arrangements are required, U.S. police officers and military personnel must be present. All publicly announced policy decisions must be made by U.S. officials on our behalf. Any officer conducting comprehensive law enforcement requires the presence of U.S. officials."

The lesson of the Iraq War is that the Americans must be at the forefront.

Only by letting Americans deal with Americans can we dispel the discontent in the hearts of the locals. As for who they hate, just don't hate us.

He went on to say:

"No soldier is allowed to create chaos without authorization. We encourage soldiers to do good rather than evil. Therefore, we reward goodness and severely punish evil. Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punishable by death. The Three Main Rules of Discipline must not be forgotten, and the Eight Points for Attention must be fair. In particular, we must pay attention to fair buying and selling, returning borrowed items, and compensating for damages."

Soldiers' misbehavior can lead to massive social unrest, a lesson learned from the Iraq War.

Of course, due to cultural differences, Li Xinghe did not emphasize that he would not harass women, beat people, or mistreat prisoners. In big American cities, who knows who might be harassing whom? And for criminals arrested in big American cities, beating them would most likely be considered gentle touching; even if they were tortured to death, it might be considered eliminating a menace for the people.

Therefore, of the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention, only a few key points need to be emphasized, and attention should be paid to the combination of theory and practice.

Li Xinghe also emphasized the issue of retaliation after an attack:

"Pay special attention to security precautions. Drones and radar should be kept on at all times. In the event of an attack by ED, light rifles, or pistols, do not open fire on civilians or conduct any large-scale search operations. Use our drone and cyber intelligence leads to deploy U.S. police to investigate. Whether we find them or not is not important; what is important is to let Americans see the justice, civilization, and order we bring."

This requirement stems from the fact that, most of the time, the US military was unable to effectively counter terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan. To vent their frustration, the US military resorted to massacring civilians, firing white phosphorus bombs into civilian villages, and slaughtering children—acts even more ruthless than those of the Japanese invaders. During their year in Iraq, over 95% of the shooting incidents reported by the US military were due to the indiscriminate killing of civilians when they couldn't find the enemy.

Therefore, the Allied Forces, the People's Liberation Army, and the Red Army must never learn from the Japanese tactics used by the US military, and must strictly enforce discipline within their troops.

In short, the United States has already learned from all the bad examples in Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone with a sound mind knows how to learn from these lessons and address the problems.

The speech was quickly summarized into the "Sacramento Military Discipline Requirements Handbook".

Incidentally, a large number of NGOs cultivated by Li Xinghe immediately translated "The San Francisco Spirit" and "Sacramento Military Discipline" into English, bombarding Americans with information and brainwashing messages.

Their arguments were very convincing:

"The Allied Forces are here to restore justice and eliminate the warlords!"

"The People's Liberation Army has come to liberate you!"

"Communism is not the enemy of the Americans; the enemy is the incompetent and shameless warlords, plutocrats, and politicians."

"You've all been fooled before!"

“You are trapped in an information cocoon created by the US government.”

"Don't be fooled, the most righteous world is outside the wall."

These emotional brainwashing messages spread widely on American social media platforms. Not only did TikTok manipulate its algorithm recommendations, but platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram also cleverly figured out what to do and began to openly and covertly echo the new government.

The force was like a mountain collapsing, and no one could resist it.

......

1 month 13 day.

A large number of old J-20 and J-10C fighter jets were transferred from an air force base in Alaska to Seattle.

Under the cover of the air force, the People's Liberation Army and the joint forces launched a simultaneous north-south advance eastward.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) joined forces with Xu Baofeng, who had departed from Alaska. They set off from Seattle, took Highway 84 onto Highway 94, and entered Montana, a state Americans called "a state that only exists on a map." They traversed the vast prairie, which covers 38 square kilometers but has only 100 million residents. They then crossed North and South Dakota, where there is more grass than people, via Highway 94, and entered Minnesota, where they occupied Minneapolis.

As Americans have complained, these agricultural states are, in their eyes, places that only exist on a map, with hardly anyone to be seen each day. The People's Liberation Army marched hundreds of kilometers without encountering much resistance; after finding some local church elders and conveying their wishes for peace, that was about it.

Aside from disciplining some mischievous kids and old folks, the People's Liberation Army didn't arrest a single person.

In the words of the accompanying reporter, this was a "refreshing road trip on the vast grasslands," except for the sore buttocks from sitting too long, and the only thing they did was help the local villagers solve some of their daily problems.

Southern route.
