"The prices of goods at the supermarket have gone up again recently."

"The prices in the affluent areas haven't gone up."

"Pah, rich area. They even use different dollars than us. Those damn rich people."

"When will this end?"

"I've had enough, I want to go home."

"I remember you're from Texas, the situation there should be better."

"That was before, but now we're still involved."

"Do you think we'll survive until the war ends?"

"I don't know, today might be the end of the world for you and me."

"Can't you say something nice?"

"People are hardest to fool than themselves, so save your breath." "Sigh~ really, um! What's that?"

"Let me see, it looks like planes... Shit! How come there are so many planes!?"

The two American soldiers on duty did not know which country the planes belonged to, but such a large formation heading towards the Hawaiian naval base could not possibly be for a birthday celebration.

"Target detected, commence attack!"

At this moment, the attack on the Hawaiian naval base consisted of various loitering munitions and drones. A huge unmanned aerospace carrier launched these deadly swarms from a distance of 1,000 kilometers from Hawaii.

You heard right, they were launched. Apart from drones, the most common type was loitering munitions, specifically anti-ship loitering munitions. Compared to ordinary anti-ship missiles, human-operated anti-ship loitering munitions have greater flexibility and maneuverability, as well as the ability to resist interference in complex terrain. Although their speed is much slower than that of hypersonic anti-ship missiles, a missile remotely controlled by a human brain poses a greater threat than a simple anti-ship missile.

The more than 30,000 combatants operating them are all located in military bases in Alaska, not scattered across thousands of remote command centers. Even if the enemy were to strike Alaska, it would be extremely difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop, because the furthest distributed remote command centers are located near the Arctic Circle.

Anyway, the network system provided by the system is not afraid of interference at all. As long as the equipment is in place, everything else is fine.

After preparing the necessary hardware, the People's Army packed these combat units into groups of three, placing them inside specially designed containers equipped with toilets, shower facilities, and rest areas, along with three remote control devices. Once delivered to their designated locations, supplies were provided to these small units via long-range precision airdrops, transforming these combat units into remote polar villas. Furthermore, the optical camouflage and heat shielding of these specially designed containers, coupled with the power supply from small nuclear fusion reactors, significantly enhanced their endurance and combat strength.

They are absolutely the safest warriors in the world right now, and the enemy has no way to wipe them out.

The combination of remote-controlled unmanned units and auxiliary artificial intelligence has greatly reduced the operational threshold and learning difficulty. The three brigades of US remote-controlled combat personnel are equivalent to more than 30,000 drones and patrol missiles on the battlefield. When they rush towards the target in teams, no one can stop these terrifying enemies.

At least in a world of second-tier America, the US Navy wouldn't be able to instantly establish tens of thousands of fire channels and quickly destroy all of these enemies. Even if they could see them, their missiles and close-in weapon systems wouldn't be able to react in time, and those that could would run out of ammunition.

Faced with these agile warships that can fly close to the sea surface or even dive directly to act as cruise torpedoes, the US warships docked in port say they feel a lot of pressure.

There will certainly be counterattacks, but it's also true that they're meaningless. The US military stationed in Hawaii certainly has its own unmanned combat units and tactical dolls, but the numbers are laughable. As the American Civil War has dragged on, much of America's own armed forces have been worn down by internal conflicts or sold off by US forces stationed abroad through various "transactions." The once-massive military power of the United States is shrinking at a visible rate.

The greatest harm of civil war is that it doesn't eliminate the enemy, but as long as I can survive, I don't care about the state of the country. After all, anyone with a sense of shame rarely survives a civil war unless they take an unforeseen path. Unfortunately, the United States, a world number two, has not yet developed such a force.

So Qin Shan came to fill their gaps, and they should thank Brother Qin Shan (kind smile).

The battle quickly ended in the blood and tears of Pearl Harbor. After all, the US Pacific Fleet wasn't under Alaska's control. Since it wasn't up to me, you might as well just die.

But since it was war, it was essential to effectively weaken the enemy's strength. So after the bombers annihilated Pearl Harbor, they also bombed the local wealthy areas until they resembled the surface of the moon.

Who gave the local wealthy enough to support the war? Can you honestly say you didn't fund those warlords?

As for why the poor are not a problem, please, you said it yourself, they are poor. Poor people don't have money to give to warlords, and they are forced to join the army at gunpoint. How could the working class have the opportunity to wreak havoc on the world? Even if they did, it would be an extremely small minority. To eliminate the majority of innocent people for the sake of a tiny minority, are you out of your mind?

Conversely, the destructive power of the rich who are ruthless is much greater. In addition, your group does lack some human-like individuals, so proper cleanup is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the new America.

"Most people, as long as they have enough to eat and wear and can live a decent life, will live honestly and at most complain a little when they are dissatisfied. But capitalists are always eager to cause trouble. They will do anything to make money."

In Qin Shan's plan, most of the upper and middle classes in the old United States had to be eliminated. They were demanding, dishonest, and easily instigated others to do bad things. If Qin Shi Huang had sent all the powerful figures of the six kingdoms to the guillotine to sharpen their knives after unifying the country, the scale of the Chu-Han Contention would have been halved. Dishonest powerful figures were the biggest danger, but the dead could completely eliminate this danger.

Since that's the case, why be polite with them? Do they feel their lives lack excitement and need to increase the difficulty of the game? So, just like the politically astute Hawaiian fire years ago, the American Socialist Party's raid on Hawaii only targeted the military and the wealthy, leaving the poor untouched. They took all the money from the rich and powerful, leaving the poor penniless untouched.

That doesn't seem right either. The wealthy people's money was all burned. Who cares? It's a minor issue. Those people don't care about the money. That's true, but they lost their lives. Hawaii is far from the American mainland and has the protection of the Pacific Fleet. So after the American Civil War, it became a haven for the rich. Many prominent families in the United States moved there with their families, only to have their fortunes wiped out by a fire.

Many wealthy families were burned to a crisp, looking like human-shaped fried chicken. Around the flames were American citizens who were initially frightened but later laughed as they watched.

Those capitalists, you've finally met your match.

To increase the awareness of these humanoid beings, local Americans even stopped wealthy people who were trying to put out the fire.

"Make way, we need to get water!"

"This is our water. If you want to use it, you'll have to pay."

"Shit! Do you guys have any conscience?!"

"You vampires have no heart, do you think it matters whether we have a conscience or not?"

"Here's your money!"

"Ha, US dollars, who wants worthless paper these days!"

"Damn it, they're still trying to fool us at a time like this!"

"Stop these bastards! Don't let them get past!"

"Yes, our water isn't for the rich!"

"Don't go too far!" (Draws gun)

"Hey, who doesn't have a gun!" (Everyone draws their guns)

In the United States, where everyone owns a gun, guns are certainly not a rare item.

The problem is, if a bunch of people simultaneously draw their guns and aim at a small group of people, and any one of them loses control of their trigger, things could get...

Bang! A gunshot rang out from somewhere, and a millionaire fell to the ground.

The two sides already had conflicts, and now a direct armed conflict has broken out. After the chaotic battle, the wealthy area was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of people.

Do they even remember their own house was on fire? If they start fighting at a time like this, there's no way to put out the fire, and the result is that the entire wealthy neighborhood was reduced to ashes in the smoke of the brawl.

The story that takes place in Hawaii will become a microcosm of the entire United States going forward.

Chapter 136: Insectoids, here we come!

As a reborn individual, Qin Shan felt he had a historical mission.

For example, let the American people, who lack historical depth, experience the joy of trampling the bones of nobles on the streets.

Not all countries are like France, filled with a rebellious spirit from the inside out. For the United States, whose history is less than a piece of toilet paper, it lacks far too much. And the happy education under the system of keeping the people ignorant makes it difficult to truly supplement these missing elements to its own people.

The American authorities didn't want to add that, and they even turned compulsory education into something like "the best compulsory education school in America is the one where no one smokes marijuana."

Is this still education? This is a joke.

A collapsing education system, an ignorant lower class, a vertically divided society, and then corruption that relentlessly erodes upwards.

What is the foundation? It's the root of a nation, its foundation. If the foundation is rotten, how can you expect the magnificent buildings above to be castles in the air?

When the ruling class in the United States discovers that they can deceive the masses and fool the whole world with very simple methods, they will naturally become unwilling to use their brains and feel that they can possess everything in the world as long as they are simple-minded, pleasure-seeking primitives.

There's no way around it; using your brain is hard work. Even the smartest minds in the world sometimes want to slack off, let alone ordinary people. Many so-called elites are actually people who have accumulated enough resources to see the unspoken rules that ordinary people can't. Essentially, they profit from information asymmetry.

Any ordinary person with a passing IQ can become an elite by leveraging resources. Those exceptional individuals are extremely rare even among the wealthy. The reason why the proportion of successful people is higher among the wealthy is that they often use the resources of thousands of people to build up one person, along with various convenient channels and backdoors, which gives others the illusion that they cannot help but look up to them.

How can we dispel this misconception?

It's very simple: find a rich man and stab him in the back.

In the United States, this action can be adapted to local customs by pulling the trigger.

The fair Grim Reaper will make you understand the true nature of the world in an instant.

You and I are no different.

So go kill, go fight, go crazy! A chaotic world will bring terrifying equality, and in a country that has given birth to the Joker villain, this is the kind of awareness one should have.

Democracy has its own revolutions, and freedom has its own struggles.

The America of today is the America that best embodies your cowboy spirit, so what are you waiting for?

After all, you can't survive without fighting (smile).

The tragic sacrifices might awaken something that capitalists fear: faced with meaningless death and a hopeless future, looking at the gun in their hands, perhaps the enemy they should be aiming at is not in front of them, but behind them.

In the second world, the American Civil War has also begun to see a large number of oversight teams. However, while Wagner mercenaries still go to America for fun in the home world, the Soviet Union certainly won't provide mercenaries to the United States here, nor will the Soviet Union and South America. Australia is not as good as the United States now, so they can only select from their own country or hire from abroad.

Mexican drug lords have shown great enthusiasm on this issue.

Mexican drug cartels' armed forces act as overseers for American capitalists, forcing Americans to fight each other to the death.

Seriously, even Qin Shan, the mastermind behind it all, found this joke utterly horrific.

But Mexicans are quite willing. They've been harmed by the Americans for so many years, and they didn't dare to be angry or speak out in the past. Today, the tables have finally turned, and they can finally have some fun.

This is so awesome, I'd do it even if I had to pay for it myself, let alone get paid!!!

As a result, a large number of Mexican-American overseers appeared behind the lines of the various factions in the American Civil War. They felt no psychological pressure about shooting at Americans, and even felt that using guns alone was not enough, so they switched to rocket launchers or anti-aircraft machine guns, and some even drove self-propelled artillery to supervise American soldiers.

They were pleased, but the American soldiers were furious. They weren't just puppets who would charge forward. Besides, what were the Mexicans like? They used to be groveling scum who licked our boots. Now they dared to lay a hand on American soldiers.

You're rebelling against the Heavenly Generals, aren't you!

Faced with the Mexicans who were riding on their heads, the American soldiers also displayed extremely high tactical skills. There were even bizarre scenes where, upon meeting, the two sides in the American Civil War would rush directly to their respective commando units without saying a word, kill off all the Mexicans behind them, and then consider fighting. Moreover, after both sides had cleared out the Mexican commando units of the other side, they would basically shake hands and make peace on the spot, then fire a couple of shots or cannon shots into the open ground, which was considered to be worth the pay from the warlord. Afterwards, everyone would go back to what they were doing, and the day's fighting would end there.

This is truly a case of dawdling and procrastination.

So when the American Civil War got to this point, many of the troops on the front lines were actually not fighting much anymore. After all, the money might not be theirs, but their lives were. How much money did they get in a month? Why risk their lives like that?

So the two sides secretly communicated with each other, attacking one day and the other the next, lingering around each other's positions without actually advancing. The battle scene was very gentlemanly, reminiscent of the battlefields of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This is definitely not acceptable; it's not what American capitalists want to see.

Those at the bottom are starting to connect with each other. When they finally figure things out, won't we be the ones in danger?

No, absolutely not! This is no longer just a matter of procrastination; we can't hesitate, we must take decisive action!

So the clever capitalists came up with the idea of ​​mixing in the enemy forces. They began to randomly deploy troops at the front lines, while having Mexican mercenaries create chaos from time to time, such as firing artillery at enemy positions, or suddenly launching attacks when the two sides were making peace, thus creating trouble from within and without the other side's knowledge.

Initially, the results were remarkable, and it was indeed able to force the front-line battlefield to return to the bloody chaos of the past.

But it wasn't long before the American soldiers began to retaliate.

Although the United States has a "happy education" system, the grassroots officers and soldiers who frequently engage in practical operations on the front lines can still understand many things. For example, if someone orders an attack, they should first eliminate all officers above the rank of company commander in the army.

Some brave enough American soldiers assassinated officers and then reported this to the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties for our troops.

Next, they started making up names to report. After all, the American Civil War had been going on for so long that many systems and institutions had been destroyed by the emergency of war. In the past, fallen soldiers needed photos and documents, but now they could just report a name. Anyway, the compensation was given based on who-knows-what kind of US dollars they would be worth in minutes.

So things turned into a situation where capitalists in the rear were giving money half-heartedly, and American soldiers on the front lines were fighting half-heartedly. The documents that everyone was falsifying looked impressive, but the actual results were so exaggerated that even calling them battle achievements was an overstatement. It was like trying to salvage a battle record from nothing.

Haidilao stated that compared to this, their set meal is considered a high-value meal.

How many truly combat-ready soldiers are left in this American Civil War?

Those who could be fooled before, those who believed in the American system, and those who had hope for the future are mostly dead. Those who survived are people who look at the current state of America with confused and doubtful eyes.

The war, which lasted for more than four years, had turned the United States into the blank slate that Qin Shan wanted to see. Under the real threat of life and death, even religious beliefs became vulnerable.

The European Renaissance occurred after the Black Death; harsh reality can always effectively shatter all lies.

After eliminating the threat posed by the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, the American Socialist Party truly moved south.

Our first stop is San Francisco, a famous city on the west coast of the United States.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Put these here, put these here."

"Half an hour left, speed things up!"

Before a real offensive begins, effectively dismantling the enemy's weaponry is a necessary action. As the anchorage of the Pacific Fleet, the US West Coast not only has the entire US shipbuilding industry but also other supporting industrial systems. Therefore, its naval strength is not weak. Although a direct confrontation is possible, why not rely on internal forces to create trouble and effectively weaken the enemy's forces instead of simply piling on numbers?

While it's true that the headquarters of the American Social Party is currently in Alaska, that doesn't mean there aren't other forces within the United States. These underground workers are lurking in cities and towns, and some are even high-ranking government officials. They all share a common characteristic: a sense of despair about the United States today.

After four years of civil war, those loyal to the old America were almost all gone, leaving only those who were desperate for change.

When people's thoughts become the mainstream of society, new forces will be born, and history will be redrawn on the ruins of a blank sheet of paper. The spiraling upward history will usher in a period of significant growth.

Human beings have been wreaking havoc on America for far too long, and countless people are calling for new possibilities.

Let's make it a reality today.

"3, 2, 1, detonate!"

With a deafening roar, the largest maritime radar on the U.S. West Coast collapsed. At the same time, explosions were also heard at gun emplacements and outposts around San Francisco. Because the alarms had been cut off in advance, many San Francisco residents nervously stuck their heads out of their windows to search for the source of the explosions.

Where the smoke of war rose, the hearts of the locals sank to the bottom.

Those places look like permanent fortifications and defensive works near San Francisco. Could the enemy have advanced this far!?
