I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

As a coastal city, San Francisco frantically began searching for the enemy's direction of attack: from the sea or on land? Where was the enemy coming from?

Their doubts were quickly answered: the enemy came from where the sea and sky met.

"A large number of flying objects have been detected approaching us!"

"Damn it, the radar is malfunctioning and can't identify the type of aircraft."

"The radars in Zones 3, 5, 7, and 9 have all malfunctioned!"

"Never mind, take off! Get all our planes off! Fly as many as you can! Hurry!"

The assessment was correct, but the American Socialist Party and the US military were already close at hand. At this point, even if the assessment was correct, it would be meaningless. There was simply not enough time. Even unmanned remote-controlled aircraft need preparation before takeoff, let alone manned fighter jets. Moreover, before the battle began, all the airfields on the US West Coast had already been identified, including the temporary field airfields under construction.

Bismarck personally went to check, and absolutely none of them escaped.

Moreover, the US Socialist Party's full-channel jamming was still on, the most brutal kind of high-power indiscriminate destruction. Anyway, the US Socialist Party's drone remote control system was all in Qinshan's system network, so it was not afraid of this kind of jamming. But the radios of the various US warlords on the West Coast were completely ruined, and they were directly rendered blind.

In such circumstances, the only available communication methods, besides primitive mediums like two legs and carrier pigeons, are wired telephones. However, wired telephones in the United States of World Two have been almost completely phased out by civilians and are also rare in the military. After all, given the technological level of World Two, even the interference intensity of an EMP attack would require a nuclear explosion to achieve. Ordinary EMP attacks are not enough to paralyze communications on a large scale, and their impact on the military is also very limited. As for full-channel blocking, the enemy would be reduced to being completely blind, and everyone would simply revert to primitive communication methods.

Therefore, the most unsolvable problem in the world is dimensional reduction attack, where you don't even understand the opponent's attack methods.

The American warlords on the West Coast could naturally tell that it was a full-channel jam, but at the same time they also thought that the enemy about to launch an attack was just as blind as they were. As a result, the enemy's remote-controlled drones and loitering munitions flew over directly, completely unaffected.

On the battlefield, being even one move behind can be fatal. One slow step leads to another, and after a few moves, you won't know what tactics your opponent will use to deal with you.

Unsurprisingly, the air power on the US West Coast was completely wiped out. As for the air forces in other places, they were unlikely to come to the aid. When the United States was unified, at least there was a federal government to give orders. Now that the American Civil War has broken the United States apart, how could other forces care about the life or death of the West Coast? We betray our allies, let alone enemies who were enemies in the chaos of war. Do you think I'm stupid enough to help you take the bullets?

It's obvious that the American dictionary doesn't contain the phrase "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." Even if they did have a similar concept, even if someone could recognize it, they can't do anything about it now, and even if they wanted to, it's too late.

Following the precise and deadly airstrikes, the American West Coast opened its arms to the People's Army.

Many games have witnessed the fall of the Golden Gate Bridge, but this time it truly witnessed the fall of old America.

Landing craft rushed toward the San Francisco harbor, with a swarm of drones covering the sky above them. Among them were self-destructing shuttle drones and loitering munitions waiting for their targets. But as soon as there was a high-energy reaction in the San Francisco city area, these little guys would swarm in until it was completely silenced.

As the first landing craft docked, the remote-controlled armored vehicles on board stepped ashore and drove into downtown San Francisco, marking the formal emergence of the American Socialist Revolutionary Party from behind the scenes.

Section 137: Gun Muzzle Pointing East

Besides San Francisco, the Socialist Party also targets Seattle, a city that leads in aerospace, computer software, bioinformatics, genetic science, electronic equipment, medical equipment, and environmental engineering. It is also a major city on the US West Coast, and any attack from other locations, except by sea, would be hampered by the city's easily defensible terrain.

Often, a place is easy to defend and difficult to attack not because the locals deliberately chose it, but because the nearby plains are only so big, and the rest are either lakes, mountains, hills and plateaus. The living environment is obviously challenging for carbon-based organisms. Human cities all need freshwater resources, so there must be villages near rivers and lakes. The size of the plains determines whether the villages will develop into cities in the future.

After controlling Seattle and San Francisco, two strategic strongholds on the US West Coast, the next step is to choose between road or water transport. Although unmanned forces have strong mobility and relatively simple requirements, moving across complex terrain will inevitably consume motor hours. Just look at the wear and tear of armored forces in various countries over 100 kilometers. Why do we need to use high-horsepower trailers for tanks and armored vehicles? It's because the powerful engines and tracked movement, combined with the heavy chassis, cause too much wear and tear on armored vehicles.

Moreover, unmanned units advancing also need to establish supply stations. Ammunition and energy supplies are essential. Rear production and transportation to the front lines, as well as ammunition that the front lines can produce themselves using the industries in the controlled areas, are all very important supplements. For any country's army to carry out a raid operation of more than 1,000 kilometers, the logistics management is an astronomical figure.

This is why only the five permanent members of the UN Security Council truly possess combat capabilities; the remaining countries will inevitably encounter various problems when engaging in modern warfare.

Putting aside everything else, just calculating the personnel and equipment requirements for logistics alone could bankrupt a small country on the spot.

This only covers part of the logistics functions. If we include medical care, transportation, logistics, and construction, this would be enough for a country outside the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to completely replace its own infrastructure.

After the rapid breakthrough, the American Socialist People's Army was about to face urban warfare. However, the brutal urban warfare was not brutal at this time, because a large number of remote-controlled robot dogs, remote-controlled armored vehicles, and remote-controlled gyroplanes used by the American Socialist Party entered the city, observing everything around them from all angles. Any attack launched by the enemy was just destroying these mass-produced machines that were made every five minutes. Qin Shan had prepared a huge number of them, a full 300 million.

Don't underestimate China's all-out efforts in production capacity.

If we were to put the industrial star system of World Three into production, let alone 300 million, we could have 3 trillion, enough to fill the entire United States. That's the production capacity of an interstellar civilization.

At this time, remote operators are actually quite rare.

It's okay. Many newbies have already started practicing. Although their remote control operation methods may be a bit clumsy and they lack practical experience, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of remote-controlled robots for you to use. There are as many as you want, whether they are in the sky, on the ground, or in the water. Use them as you like. After breaking a hundred or so, you will eventually learn how to use these remote-controlled weapons.

In the battle between steel and lives, the side that paid for lives clearly suffered a greater loss, because the American Socialist Party's tolerance for error had reached an unimaginable level. Therefore, in the street fighting in these two cities, the American Socialist People's Army directly adopted the tactic of exhaustion bombing.

People need rest, but our remote-controlled legions can attack in three shifts and maintain high-intensity bombardment of the target area at any time.

After the orders from China were fulfilled, the remaining demand was directly transported from the Industrial System. Qin Shan opened a portal in the warehouse of the People's Army's front-line command, from which various weapons and ammunition were continuously transported out to supply the front line. The American warlord forces soon discovered a despairing fact: the enemy was not only not decreasing, but was increasing in number.

Furthermore, the enemy's reaction efficiency is quite fast. When an unmanned combat unit is destroyed, its surrounding area will immediately be hit by a one-ton heavy aerial bomb. Even if the US soldiers in this range survive, they will basically be shocked and suffer internal injuries that render them unable to fight. They will either lie on the spot and wait to die, or wait for the People's Army's unmanned combat units to come and finish them off.

Meanwhile, the People's Army soldiers, who are remotely controlling operations from the rear, can even work in three shifts like a regular job, and even turn this combat mode into a game for everyone. Of course, with only a keyboard and mouse, they can at most operate loitering munitions or drones, but that is still amazing. In addition, the portal can replenish the unmanned units on the front line anytime and anywhere, so that the People's Army can always maintain more than 100,000 remotely controlled unmanned units on the front line that can be immediately deployed to the battle.

Furthermore, these unmanned remote-controlled units also include a large number of intelligent combat robots. They continuously iterate and absorb battlefield experience through evolutionary algorithms, and they will fill in where the remote control personnel cannot handle the situation. Therefore, the US military's perception on the front lines is that the enemy is everywhere, but they simply do not have enough ammunition to fire everywhere.

However, this does not mean that the U.S. People's Army is entirely composed of unmanned combat units. There are still commanders and soldiers, but they are responsible for the toughest tasks. In ordinary areas, there are only a few people, or one or two squads. The remaining areas are monitored by various remote-controlled robots. Any corner or disturbance that a drone can enter is monitored, and it is at the level of individual soldier radar scanning, truly achieving wall-penetrating and X-ray vision at the physical level.

This resulted in many US soldiers hiding behind walls to sneak up and snipe, only to be met with wall-breaking grenades from the People's Army, who were using 20mm sniper rifles in the sniper duel.

Originally, the US military's equipment was not bad. After all, the United States was the world's number two and the third strongest military power, with an independent military-industrial complex. However, the four-year civil war had almost depleted the United States' internal production capacity and high-tech products. Apart from a small number of elite troops, most US soldiers' equipment had regressed by at least ten years. Only light weapons and ammunition were in sufficient supply. Under these circumstances, it was only natural that the US People's Army would crush them.

From the moment they clashed, their combat strategies were on completely different levels, so it's normal for the opponent to be outmatched.

Another important point is that the current U.S. military is no longer the respectable federal U.S. military of the past, but rather a bandit army under the command of American warlords. Bandits were already trash, but they were bandits under the command of warlords. Expecting them to have the ideological awareness of Yue Fei's army is going too far. Locals think they are even more despicable than bandits and tyrants.

Such an army can turn a winning battle into a looting spree, let alone a losing one. To say they would be routed would be an insult to the term; they would simply be running all over the place in a rout.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender your arms or you will not be killed!"

Faced with the overwhelming comprehensive superiority of the People's Army, the already militarized US military quickly lost its ability to resist in an organized manner. Moreover, for two days, they were forced to fight against these steel-willed soldiers who attacked 24 hours a day. Both their mental and physical strength were pushed to the limit. After confirming that the other side would not make things difficult for them after they surrendered, the US military's surrender was immediately widespread.

Fight? What's there to fight about! How much are we paid? Why risk our lives for those big shots who don't treat us like human beings?

We could tolerate it when there were benefits to be had, but now that surrendering means certain death, why should we risk our lives for them? Are our lives so cheap?

Wave after wave of American soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered from their fortifications. The positions and fortifications on the outskirts of Seattle and San Francisco were all under the control of the People's Army. Even if reinforcements were rushing to the scene, they would be held back by layers of steel defenses. For at least the next month, the people inside the city would have no hope of breaking out.

Good heavens! A month, a big city locked down without any supplies for a month. With only the stock in the supermarkets, the people in the city will starve to death in half a month at most. At that time, the People's Army won't even need to lift a finger; they will have to start producing dried meat and fruit on their own.

When it comes to the question of how to conduct oneself, Europeans and Americans have always been very professional.

Isn't that right, Mr. Hannibal? (*-―)

After two days of intense fighting, the People's Army successfully liberated Seattle and San Francisco and began to expand its gains, determined to spread the light of liberation throughout the United States.

Section 138: Scraping the Bone to Remove Poison

"Putting aside the fact that war is difficult to control, war itself is indeed an effective means of eliminating the enemy."

It was a rare occasion for Qin Shan to come out with Rodney. The two stood on a high-rise building in Seattle, watching the upcoming public trial.

Having successfully landed on the West Coast and raised its flag, the American Socialist Party immediately began promoting the national ideals of a new America and launched a large-scale crackdown on organized crime.

The United States before the war was a den of iniquity. After the Civil War completely collapsed the American economy, all sorts of sins that were already half-hidden were directly exposed to the light of day. As a former superpower, the United States' own industrial capacity and advanced technology became the source of evil after the start of the Civil War.

After all, technology itself is neither good nor bad, but its users can be righteous or evil.

The most obvious examples are the buying and selling of people and organs.

There's a picture circulating online that says: if you're sold separately, you're very valuable; if you use the whole thing, you'll earn a monthly salary of 3,000.

This is certainly a joke, after all, if it were really that easy to sell, no one would be able to get a good price. Open free trade would inevitably lead to the exploitation of the strong by the weak.

This was the case even before the American Civil War, and it only accelerated its march toward hell after the war.

Now it has become something that leaves people speechless. If the United States in the past was at most a dim lighthouse, now this lighthouse has become a basement for R18G materials.

"Didn't the admiral say that for a country like the United States, the civil war was an effective way to scrape the bone and remove the poison?"

While Rodney isn't as politically as Richelieu or Bismarck, her skill level as a mainstay ship girl of the superhumans is undeniable. It's true that someone with a score of 100 is inferior to someone with a score of 1000. Ordinary people with scores below 100 shouldn't try to take advantage of her; they're not even on the same level in terms of physical dimensions.

Even if ship girls aren't good at politics and economics, they can still become a hidden Skynet or Red Queen by connecting to the internet through their ship equipment. At the very least, they can open a "Matrix" instance and have some fun. Their mechanical and fair management is definitely higher than the bottom line of humans.

"The main point is that anything can be done on the battlefield. Political enemies who are a headache on weekdays can be eliminated on the battlefield with any excuse of 'accidental bombing'. The power to reshape the rules must be strong enough to destroy the rules. Human nature is so contradictory."

Qin Shan merely offered a brief, temporary philosophical reflection: as long as the strongest military force remained in the hands of civilization, all that remained was to spend some time on the path to victory.

In the second world, on the west coast of the United States, there are more than 3,000 gangs and organizations. This refers to organizations with organized crime characteristics, that is, those involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs. If we only consider associations, let alone the west coast, there is no one in the entire United States who does not form an association, because in this chaotic world, one cannot survive without banding together.

All American cities now enforce strict curfews because the warlords in the United States simply don't have the resources to manage the cities in the rear, so they have to outsource many administrative functions to local gangs.

The lack of grassroots management to begin with, coupled with the direct handover of power, has led to the complete rampage of gangs in the United States. In some places, even official forces have had to back down, creating an exploitative ecosystem that leaves the lower classes in even greater despair.

Previously, it was only the US government that profited, but now everyone stronger than you is asking you for money. It would be strange if people could live like this.

Thus, those groups capable of resistance began to militarize, using force against force, and ultimately a new equilibrium was formed in the bloody struggle between the two sides. This is the social order of Civil War America.

Now, a new order will be established amidst gunfire, only this time on a slightly higher level.

"Open the gate! People's Army!"

"So you call yourselves the Cougar Gang? Take them all away!"

"Damn it, they dare to resist! Coordinates XXX, XXX, requesting backup!"

"Tank assault! The enemy has heavy weapons; destroy the building directly!"

"Fire at the window directly above the twelve o'clock position, with the blue curtains!"

The recent street battles in Seattle and San Francisco have reignited gunfire, but this time the gunfire has brought a sense of security to the local residents, as those who used to extort and blackmail them are now being punished with an iron fist.

This scene made them realize that this new U.S. military force was completely different from those of the past.

Perhaps this time, hope has truly arrived.

The resistance of gangs is naturally no match for the regular authorities. In fact, in most cases, gangs are no match for national armed forces, unless the country has been controlled by gangs and become a puppet of capital, and does not possess any real national power.

Forget Mexico, I'm talking about you.

The crackdown on prostitution and organized crime on the US West Coast lasted for half a month, resulting in the arrest of more than 10,000 people. More than 1,000 were publicly tried and executed. The rest were sent to repair bridges and roads. Including other people who also had to work to atone for their sins, the American Socialist Party added nearly 100,000 people to the construction sites. At the same time, it also recruited a large number of local workers, paid them the US version of the Great Unity RMB, and ensured that all local shopping malls were filled with a wide variety of goods.

For Americans who have been struggling through two years of chaos, having food and a job that guarantees they won't go out of business is practically heaven!

Although the United States was the third largest country in the world before the Civil War, it was unable to exploit the whole world. It even lost the right to give the poor a dollar for fried chicken, completely letting these people fend for themselves and making full use of its low human rights advantage to cultivate the path of inhumanity. With hundreds of millions of drug addicts, I would believe you if you said that this country was run by Mama, a brother of Ele.me.

The Socialist Party of America's ban on illicit goods, firearms and ammunition, legalization of gangs, and all forms of exploitation by the strong against the weak has resulted in a level of reform of public order in the United States that surpasses that of any previous US government.

Even if the American public doesn't understand something too profound, they can see the full shelves, feel the improved public safety, and have stable jobs that they are doing. Moreover, this is the treatment that is available to all classes of people in America, and everyone has the right to fight for a better life with their own hands.

Although all the infrastructure projects being carried out at this stage are for the purpose of war, every railway, highway and airport built now can be converted for civilian use after the war, creating more job opportunities and public facilities. Who could refuse such visible benefits?

As for whether these people deserved to die, curious students can Google the history of how American gangs rose to power, which will definitely open the back door of your worldview and make you even more desperate about this despairing world (humorous).

These insects only make rice expensive!

Section 139: The Dust Settles on the New America

There is a kind of victory called popular support, and there is another kind of victory called overwhelming victory; the two are not contradictory.

In the Chinese server, if you want to establish a unified new country, you need at least a hundred years of preparation time before, during, and after the initial stages. The cooldown period is very long. This is because East Asia is a monster zone. The villains here would be top-tier bosses in other countries, but in the Chinese server, they are at most just warlords.

If politicians of Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek were placed in Europe, they could easily turn the EU into a Western Zhou Dynasty.

Don't laugh, the Western Zhou Dynasty was more centralized than the European Union.

Today's European Union can only be compared to the very sacred and orthodox Roman Empire in terms of its degree of centralization.

The main reason for this situation is that there are far too many intelligent people in the Chinese server. Even those from the lower classes, even those who are illiterate in the eyes of intellectuals, have grown up with many stories of sages passed down from ancient times. Even if their cognitive level is not high, it depends on which country they are compared to. With more than 5,000 years of accumulated knowledge and culture, even the concentration of knowledge residue that is rampant among the people is stronger than the cultural atmosphere of many countries.

The simplest example is to look at which cultural sphere in the world is most focused and passionate about learning. The idea that knowledge is power is a constant theme and has become a truth recognized by the vast majority of people.

Knowledge may not be important, but learning this skill is very important.

These are things that the United States doesn't have at all. One important reason why the American people are so easily fooled is that the United States is too young. This kind of cultural depth can permeate the social atmosphere and takes time to ferment and influence. It can't be faked no matter how hard you try.

The brevity of their history also means that the local people have extremely low resilience. When disaster strikes, in their despair, they can only have two thoughts: "Let it all end, quickly," and "Anything, just get the chaos out of here quickly."

Therefore, when the American Socialist Party made its strong debut, it received a high level of support from the American people, truly achieving "a heartfelt welcome from the public."

This organization truly gave them hope of ending the war. As for how to end it or what to do in the process, they didn't care. As long as it ended, that was all that mattered. They were really fed up with the civil war.

The degree of freedom enjoyed by American soldiers became a strategic advantage for the American Socialist Party at this time. Many American soldiers, upon discovering the People's Army's offensive, immediately killed the supervisory teams and surrendered swiftly. Even before they took action, infighting broke out within the supervisory teams, with the victors announcing their surrender and welcoming the royal army with other American soldiers.

As a result, the progress of the American Civil War shocked Qin Shan. Many times, it wasn't a question of whether the People's Army could advance, but rather that some places couldn't be touched at all. Even the mere presence of a People's Army soldier would trigger a large-scale surrender of local American troops, leaving the area vacant, forcing the People's Army to advance and take control.

This plot doesn't make sense. Where are the capable, respectable men in the US military?

They had already died on the battlefields of the first American civil war.

Those who most deeply believe in the American spirit are naturally willing to fight for America, just like the most devoted Red Army soldiers in the Soviet army. When the brutal civil war wore these people down, those who remained felt only despair for the world.

They don't trust the government, the army, or salaries and rewards; they only trust themselves and the guns in their hands.

Everything that America was once proud of has been shattered, leaving behind only bewildered people. They are not even as armed as some cults, at least cults can arm them with outrageous beliefs and make them fight for a vague god. In this environment, God's influence is stronger than that of the military and the government.

The United States during the Civil War was degenerating, moving towards technological barbarism and religious politics.

The emergence of the American Socialist Party and the People's Army at this time is a devastating blow to the American warlords in this environment. Just look at the old Chinese version of the game; the Red Army, with its inferior equipment, was able to easily defeat the surrounding warlords. Now, the American Socialist Party and the People's Army, which are essentially a lower-tier Red Army in terms of ideology but have equipment on par with the 21st-century People's Liberation Army, should have no difficulty crushing the American version of the game.

As a result, the enemy was running faster than the People's Army and surrendering even faster. The People's Army originally planned to complete the liberation war in the United States in three years and then solve the internal problems in five years. However, because the enemy's collapse was too exaggerated, the vanguard had already reached the east coast of the United States in just three months.

Seriously, Qin Shan's eyes practically popped out of his head.
