I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 191 Loyal Logan: I've Discovered the Mastermind

Others might be bragging when they say they don't want to be burdened by fame; but when Logan says it, everyone genuinely understands!
At the outset of the Southern rebellion, many voices declared, "Logan is right! The South is bound to descend into chaos! Logan foresaw this long ago!"

As the situation became increasingly turbulent, Logan's words, once seen as alarmist and "outrageous," were transformed into "prophetic insight"!
Then, the nationwide, almost frenzied arrests of "rebels" continued wave after wave, even developing into various bizarre and outlandish forms:
In some states, local law enforcement encourages informing, with neighbors, colleagues, and even family members being encouraged to report each other on "suspected insurgents."
In some states, schools have urgently dismissed teachers and students who have been labeled as “sympathizers of rebels” and required all teachers and students to take a daily “pledge of allegiance.”
In some states, even those already incarcerated as "suspects" have become a new source of arrests. Their relatives and friends who come to visit them in prison may be considered "accomplices" and thrown into jail as well.

These news reports, whether near or far, published in major newspapers, are transforming the public's initial desire for security and order into a broader sense of unease and fear.

The most direct consequence is the disruption of normal relationships between people.

Americans, who used to be outspoken, have now become cautious. People dare not say anything in public that might be misinterpreted, and they are even careful in private conversations with relatives and friends, for fear of being labeled as "rebels".

Everyone is afraid of and avoiding something, and trust between people has become much weaker.

At this moment, everyone unanimously thought of Logan, who always stepped forward to mend America's dilapidated state in his unique way—sometimes with sharp satire, sometimes with peaceful comfort, and sometimes from an unexpected angle!
Where is Logan?

Where is his "fireside chat" show?
We need him! We need him to talk to us about how America got to where it is now, what it will become, and what the future holds for this country.
The public outcry was overwhelming, and Voice of Freedom's phone lines were nearly overwhelmed. The editorial department of The Sun almost issued twelve urgent summonses to bring Logan back from his wanderings.

After the announcement, countless families across America finished their work early that evening, eagerly awaiting the moment in front of the radio with an almost reverent anticipation.

They needed that familiar voice to dispel the fog.

After a slight electrical noise, Logan's voice, tinged with weariness yet still steady and composed, came through the radio, like a lighthouse in a chaotic world.

"Good evening, listeners. This is Logan. I'm just back from the turbulent Southern front, exhausted, but I've seen and heard so much that I feel it's necessary, and I must, to sit down and have a good talk with you all."

"Many people are asking, why has our country, America, become what it is today?"

His opening remarks were direct and candid, instantly capturing the attention of all the listeners.

"Friends, I've said this many times before about some inherent, deep-seated problems—the founding spirit of America instilled equality in all people on this land, but there are always some who seem to be more equal—I don't want to repeat myself."

"But I must point out that these internal contradictions are not the biggest and most direct cause of this unrest—yes, I personally prefer to call it a serious unrest rather than a rebellion."

He paused for a moment to draw the audience's attention, then continued...
"After careful investigation, I can tell you with certainty: behind the turmoil in the south, there is a mastermind meticulously orchestrating all of this!"

This statement made countless radio listeners prick up their ears, and also made some people in Washington who were listening to the radio instantly anxious.

“Now, the answer can finally be revealed.” Logan’s voice remained steady, carrying a certainty of revealing the truth. “That’s right, the mastermind behind this scheming attempt to divide and weaken America is none other than our ‘old friend’ across the Atlantic—the British Empire!”

Ok? ? ?
In a short time, countless people across the United States raised the same question.

"I know everyone has seen in the newspapers that the Wakanda militia in the south is almost entirely armed with French weapons, but I don't believe this is the work of the French, just like bad people don't leave their signatures!"

"And as everyone knows, Britain's diplomatic goal has remained unchanged for at least the last 500 years: to create a divided Europe. To this end, they have allied with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, and with the French against the Germans and Italians..." "And now, they are using this dirty tactic, which they've been using for centuries, on us, America!"

"They not only want to incite Americans against the French, but also against Americans!"

"They are exploiting our existing domestic contradictions and fanning the flames, with the aim of turning our mighty America into a mess from within!"

"Friends, if you regularly follow the British media, you'll know that they curse the collapse of America almost every day, and that their ministers even openly support the division of America!"

Isn't this obvious enough?
In Logan's subsequent narrative: Our black brothers are good by nature and are being exploited; our working brothers' demands for rights are also reasonable and are being incited; even some of the mistakes made by our superiors may have been unknowingly falling into the trap of the British.

In short, it was all a scheme by those wicked British! We Americans are the victims!
As for what will happen to America?
Logan offered a pessimistic prediction: "Unfortunately, my friends, historical experience shows that countries and regions that fall into the traps of the British Empire often suffer heavy losses before they can break free. I suspect that the unrest in the South will not be quelled so easily."

"But please don't worry, don't despair! America will not collapse!"

In the end, Logan still gave the people hope, "because this country has countless loyal citizens who are working hard to repair and rebuild her from crisis time and time again!"

"And I, Logan, will once again head to the southern front tomorrow! I will continue to bring you the most authentic, firsthand battlefield reports, and, in order to quell this conflict, I will strive to find and expose the specific evidence of the British Empire's crimes in this conspiracy!"

Good night, my friends, and may God bless America!

This "fireside chat" did not solve any practical problems, but it provided countless confused, fearful, and angry people with a simple, clear, and easy-to-understand "enemy" and explanatory framework.

After hearing this, countless people suddenly realized that most of the pent-up frustration in their hearts had instantly dissipated, replaced by a shared sense of anger and indignation: So, it was all the British who were behind this!

Of course, there are also those who are clear-headed and scoff at this, believing that Logan's actions are based on the deep-seated hatred that Irish people have for Britain, or that he is shifting the blame for the real contradictions and responsibilities within the country.

Edgar Hoover was among them.

That very night, he called Logan and said, "You guys really are from the Bureau of Investigation. You've all got the same idea—to shift the blame to external forces, to put the blame on Europe, on the British Empire! This is excellent, it will help to heal the domestic situation!"

"However, you should think about how to explain the fact that the British plot was not discovered in the end."

By the way, let the Investigation Bureau take a look too.

Logan smiled silently upon hearing this well-intentioned reminder.

What's there to explain? I personally helped the British carry out their conspiracy, which proves that I was right all along, doesn't it?
