Chapter 547 Sailors' Assault Team, Old Brooks' Compromise
New York, Mother Planet Joint Conference.

John Bolton, the North American representative, adjusted the microphone and looked across the room:

North America has consistently advocated for the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons, and adheres to a policy of not advocating, encouraging, or engaging in the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and not assisting other countries in developing nuclear weapons.

"The confrontation between the Mariners' Fleet and the Combined Fleet, and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons by both sides, violated the rules of humanitarian law, the principles of the law of war, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Convention, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons."

"We propose that international sanctions be imposed on the Tijuana Group behind the Mariners' Fleet and the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau economic entities behind the Joint Fleet, to urge and monitor both sides to destroy nuclear weapons and to compel both sides to eliminate all the negative impacts of nuclear weapons."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into complete silence.

If the two fleets do not use nuclear weapons, Western countries that are close to North America, including many fence-sitters, will certainly respond positively to North America's call.

But now, with Singapore and Kuala Lumpur serving as cautionary tales, everyone is worried that a religious fanatic might have a sudden lapse in judgment and take some of his own drugs.

for a long time.

The English representative, mindful of North America's image, broke the silence, saying, "Let's hear what the affected regions have to say."

The North American representative secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Now, let's welcome the representative from New Zealand to speak."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent once again.

A long time passed.

The South Vietnamese representative began, “Recently, New York has experienced heavy snowfall, and the municipal sanitation department has not been able to clean it up in time, resulting in many roads being frozen. The Singaporean representative drank too much one night, accidentally slipped into the river, fell onto the ice, and died.”

Countries around the world: "."

The representative from the Shili Camp reception office said sentimentally, "Indeed, the rope breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate."

Countries around the world: "."

The meeting was adjourned.

the other side.

Austin, Texas.

The chairman's office of the Carlisle Group.

Old Bu sat in his electric wheelchair, a cigar in his left hand and a remote control in his right, watching the live broadcast of the Mother Planet Joint Conference.

The purpose of using the White House to move the Tijuana Group's sailors' fleet eastward was to use other people's troops to do their own thing.

If the Mariners win or successfully enter the southern waters, it means that North America can take the opportunity to reclaim the First Island Chain.

If the sailors' fleet loses, it can weaken David, retreat to the Indian Ocean, and also reveal the true strength of the three naval armaments.

If the Mariners disobey orders, the military-industrial complex can use the Pentagon to determine that David is a traitor, thereby using the military to seize the Tijuana shipyard and divide up the Tijuana Group.

This plan can be described as brilliant.

Unexpectedly, the Mariners' Fleet and the Combined Fleet engaged in a fierce battle. In less than four hours, both sides unleashed over 4000 large ship-based missiles, expended an estimated 4 million rounds of close-in weapon system ammunition, and released a total of 320 million drones…

It not only nearly wiped out Singapore, but also completely disrupted the federal capital's strategic deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.

Yes, strategic deployment.

This deployment originated during the Cold War.

Although Singapore was a member of the Non-Aligned Movement at the time, it was forced by circumstances to side with North America.

Later, under the long-term manipulation of federal capital, Singapore moved closer to North America in many areas, including culture, politics, military, economy, science and technology, and international stance.

For example, more than 50% of Singapore's investment comes from North America.

For example, Singapore's weapons are all purchased from North America.

For example, on 600 square kilometers of land in Singapore, there are five North American military bases, including Blanney Naval Base, Changi Naval Base, Paya Lebar Air Force Base, Sembawang Shipyard Supply Base, and Sembawang Naval Base, as well as three dedicated North American piers capable of accommodating aircraft carriers.

These North American bases, coupled with the influence of federal capital on Singapore for over fifty years, have enabled North America to maintain an influence in Southeast Asia comparable to that of the three major powers, even after losing the first island chain, thanks to Singapore as a fulcrum.

This is the main reason why countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines fled at the mere sight of the sailors' fleet moving eastward.

Now, overnight, the base is gone, the foothold is gone, the influence is gone, everything is gone.

However, North America can never give up Singapore, and the same goes for Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines; otherwise, the second island chain will soon cease to exist.

When that time comes, the Japanese islands will be driven to desperation and defect, and North America may have to retreat to Midway Island.

So J.P. Morgan, the oil tycoon, and even Brooks all understood this very well.

Now, regardless of the circumstances, federal capital must have a place in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, the three major conglomerates, with the help of the remaining troops at the North American base in Singapore, quickly searched through the ruins of the Singaporean administrative center, found a surviving political figure who was close to North America, and then used Western media to portray him as the head of Singapore.

Then, they would make the other side speak on the international stage, accusing the two fleets of atrocities, exposing the current situation in Singapore, and highlighting the millions of casualties.

Following this, the three major conglomerates secretly launched a plan to 'purge David' by leveraging international public opinion.

The sailors' fleet was completely wiped out, and the Tijuana shipyard's armament was reduced to less than one-tenth.

If we don't seize Tijuana Group now, are we just going to foolishly wait for the religious fanatics to make a comeback?
Therefore, the Second Army of the North American Army, stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, along with the main force of the Texas National Guard, advanced towards the US-Mexico border in three columns.

Meanwhile, six coast guard units along the North American Pacific and Atlantic coasts, along with some frigates from the Seventh Fleet that have already returned to North America for rest and recuperation, spent four days rounding the Gulf of Mexico and gradually surrounding the Tijuana shipyard on the west coast.

It's safe to say David is doomed!
At this point, old Smith still didn't realize that something was wrong.

The other side still insists that although the sailor fleet was destroyed, it was a contributor to the federal capital, at least depleting the three factions' naval power in the South China Sea, and therefore requires federal funding.

Yes, old Smith is still pushing the Democratic faction to fund David.

"Granting funds? Hah."

Old Bush put down the remote control. "Find a representative for Singapore to speed up the liquidation process."

The family advisor nodded and took out a communicator...

Unexpectedly, before he could even dial, a piercing alarm sounded all around him.

Suddenly, the windows around the office flipped open, and thick metal plates fell down.

The family advisor paused for a moment, then instantly remembered that this was an explosion-proof system that the Old Bu family had invested heavily in.

Immediately, the indoor power supply switched to independent power, and a half-body projection of the head of security for the Carlisle Group was projected onto the left wall.

The other party looked urgent. "Mr. Bu, we need support, we need heavy weaponry support."

"what happened?"

"Just now, more than a dozen fully armed thugs dressed in black suddenly rushed out of the outdoor parking lot. Their firepower was extremely fierce. In a very short time, they seized the lobby. At the same time, eight mysterious V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft airdropped hundreds of thugs. They have now flooded into the office building."

"All passageways above the third floor of the office building are currently closed. You are safe for now, but we will hold out for as long as possible..."

Hiss hiss hiss...

With a soft thud, the security chief was riddled with bullets.

While Old Bu was stunned, the half-body projection transformed into a large, fat man with dark skin and a bald head.

The other man, a burly figure like a black bear, greeted him in fluent Mexican-accented American English, saying, "Good afternoon, Mr. Bu."

"who are you?"

The bald, fat man with dark skin smiled slightly and showed the anchor icon on his arm. "Let me introduce myself. I am Mundo. I founded the world's top mercenary company, Tokyo Security Co., Ltd. Four years ago, it was incorporated into Tijuana Shipyard. I am currently the captain of the Sailor Commando Team."

After hearing this, Old Bu had a bad feeling.

Since the other party dared to say that, there's a high chance they didn't intend to let him live.

“Mr. Brooks, I suggest you don’t make futile resistance. You should believe that with the religious power of our Tijuana Group, if we have taken action, it is definitely not only aimed at you, but also at your sons, who are certainly facing the same situation as you.”

The words have not yet fallen.

Old Brooks took out his communicator and saw the message that Jeb, Neil, and Marvin, their three sons, including their only daughter Dorothy, as well as their wife Barbara, numerous grandchildren, numerous relatives, numerous corporate executives, and even the financial magnate Walker family with whom they had an alliance, were all under attack.

Old Bu closed his eyes, calming himself down. "What do you want?"

"God said that you have disobeyed His will and should all go to hell."

"... "

“However, God also said that His power has not yet been restored and He needs more followers to offer faith.” Old Brooks opened his eyes. “Although the Brooks family is on the opposite side of the Tijuana Corporation and the Smith family, the Brooks family is an emerging force. Compared with the established capital, it is actually of the same kind as you.”

In the past, the Brooks family was too prominent, which aroused the hostility and vigilance of many established capitalists. Therefore, I decided to retreat to Texas and deliberately weaken the Republican faction's control over the North American Union, so that I would no longer be regarded as a thorn in the side by the established capitalists, while at the same time making them notice you. That is why I had the plan to settle accounts with David.

Now, if the Brooks family declines, you will definitely be the next target of established capital.

Mundo smiled slightly, "Sorry, I don't understand politics. I know I've disobeyed the divine decree, so I'll just kill him."

After saying this, he signaled to his subordinates to blow up the third layer of security system.

boom! ! !
The Carlisle Group's office building shook violently.

Old Bu knew that no matter how powerful a security system based on a reinforced concrete structure was, it would be difficult to withstand the violent dismantling by a high-tech company like Tijuana Group.

In particular, during the conversation between the two parties, their daughter Dorothy and wife Barbara were arrested.

Old Brooks compromised, saying, "I can terminate the plan to settle scores with David."

boom! ! !
An explosion sound came from the rooftop, coming from above.

The violent shockwave even affected communication signals, causing the projection to be briefly distorted.

Mundo spoke again, his voice crackling, "Mr. Old Bu, God wants me to have a face-to-face talk with you."

"... "

"Furthermore, Mr. Bush, we have information on the movements of the Second Army Corps at Fort Hood, as well as the exact location of the Coast Guard. Guess how many peaceful worlds we have at our disposal? And how many means we can plant the mushroom?"

Old Bu's pupils constricted sharply. "Madman!"

Mundo's laughter grew even more rampant, gradually becoming manic and distorted, "Hahahaha!"

...

Mother planet joint conference.

After the meeting resumed, the new Singaporean representative, arranged by the military-industrial complex, took the stage to speak.

While publicly releasing photos of the ruins in Singapore, they also denounced the various atrocities committed by the Marines Fleet and listed the preliminary estimates of the losses.

The global economy is currently divided into two main categories: the real economy and the financial economy.

Entities include agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, transportation, commercial services, construction and other industries.

It is both the foundation for solving people's livelihood issues and the most vulnerable to destruction by war.

Singapore lost 92% of its economy in this sector, and reconstruction will require at least $5700 billion (the size of a small county).

Finance includes banking, insurance, trust, securities, and so on.

It manifests its existence through certificates in the form of deposits, loans, foreign exchange, bonds, stocks, investments, etc.

Normally speaking, given the heavy casualties and the chaos in the deposit and loan system in Singapore, the overall losses should be considerable.

However, in capitalist societies, especially in small countries like New Zealand, the surviving capitalists essentially gain access to a greater redistribution of social resources.

At least their holdings of US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and various foreign currencies, including investments in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, oil-producing countries, and other Eastern countries, have not suffered any losses.

Therefore, this disaster was a carnival feast for capitalists.

For example, they could undertake reconstruction projects, or in the process of development after reconstruction, achieve a monopoly on a single industry in Singapore, and grow into an oligarch-like entity similar to the Ice Bear Group.

Therefore, the surviving capitalists need more resources and currency.

In Singapore today, the best way to obtain resources and currency is to seek compensation.

In particular, death benefits and disability allowances.

Imagine a family of eight who all die. Each person could receive $500,000 in compensation, which would amount to $4 million for all eight.

If this money remains unclaimed, it will eventually be confiscated and returned to the country.

Since Singapore is controlled by capital, this money naturally ends up in the pockets of capitalists.

So, what about 100 million people? 200 million people? 300 million people?
This is also called a new form of disaster capitalism.

The Singaporean representative, taking into account the cuts taken by the military-industrial complex, confidently concluded: "The two fleets need to pay Singapore $2.8 trillion in reparations."

Just as John Bolton, the North American representative, was about to offer his assistance, his secretary suddenly handed him a cell phone.

He quickly glanced through it, his expression strange.

After confirming again, straighten the microphone:

"Just now, we received an important message: this incident in the South China Sea is not a conflict between two fleets, nor is it the use of nuclear weapons, but rather a major disaster similar to the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004."

"When Sanyuan Agriculture issued a warning six months in advance, it saved at least 30 people in Southeast Asia from casualties."

"This disaster came without warning, making it difficult to alert the authorities, which resulted in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur being unable to respond in advance and suffering heavy losses."

"This is a very sad thing. We hope that both sides will take heart and actively bring in overseas resources for a full-scale rescue effort."

“If nuclear contamination cleanup and nuclear waste recycling are required, I believe Tijuana Corporation would be happy to undertake the project at a low price.”

New representative: "???"

Malaysian representative: "???"

Countries around the world were equally bewildered.

what happened?
Don't you see what you're saying?
Is it a loss of control or a mental breakdown?
How did a nuclear explosion turn into a natural disaster?!

soon.

Ice Bear was the first to receive news of the fight between Old Brooks and David.

The report also included information about members of the Brooks family provided by the oil tycoon to the Tijuana Corporation, as well as information about the operational routes of the Second Army of the North American Army and the location of the Coast Guard.

As for why the oil tycoon betrayed Bush…

The two sides were originally in a competitive relationship between old and new capital.

The Brooks family is currently quite powerful. If David dies, the Morgan Group, the oil tycoon, and the Brooks family will divide up Tijuana Corporation, and the Brooks family will definitely get more.

This is equivalent to strengthening the Brooks family even further.

Wouldn't the declining oil faction be in danger then?
So they tricked Brooks into going after Tijuana, causing the other party to drive David to the brink of despair. Then the oil tycoon betrayed Brooks and helped David, making the Brooks family and Tijuana a bitter enemy.

At the same time, the oil faction can also win over David.

This isn't a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

This is called winning over allies.

Of course, the Ice Bear was unaware of the oil faction's plans.

Considering that it had just joined the WTO and would need North America's help in the future, it immediately notified its representatives at the Mother Planet Joint Conference to speak on North America's behalf.

The representative from Ice Bear then broke the awkward silence, saying, "We can confirm the statement made by the North American representative, and we are willing to participate in the reconstruction projects in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and provide 150 tons of emergency food aid."

Although England didn't know what had happened, seeing the representatives of the Ten Mile Camp nodding tacitly, which meant that North America, the Ice Bear, and the East all accepted this inexplicable claim, they dared not stir up trouble. "May there be no missiles in heaven... no, may there be no natural disasters in heaven!"

The French representative, still quite righteous, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, ready to accuse several major powers of blatantly lying. But when he looked down, he saw his secretary tugging at his sleeve and handing him a multiple-choice question: "Doubling the cost of nuclear waste recycling and nuclear facility cleaning" or "Half-reducing the cost of nuclear waste recycling and nuclear equipment cleaning."

Question setter: Tijuana Group.

The French representative decisively chose the latter. "Singapore? What's that? Does our home planet have such a country? Why have I never heard of it?"

Countries around the world: “…”

After a while.

After that topic was concluded, the discussion moved on to the issue of Singapore's reconstruction.

The French representative spoke enthusiastically, saying, "Singapore and France have a friendly relationship and close exchanges in various fields. I believe that Singapore can seek loans from France and then invite French capital to participate in economic development."
