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

It may not sound like much, but imagine the bizarre situation in African countries where two people, or even just one person, can stage a coup. Ten thousand people—that's like starting a world war in Africa!

Moreover, the initiative of 10,000 players is much stronger than that of the locals. The players themselves have no need for the resources of this world. All they want is to complete tasks or gain points through the regional development index. Therefore, they are full of enthusiasm for cultivating the wonderful new world. Anyone who dares to cause them trouble in this regard will become scum under the wheels of time.

The players first targeted the local drug lords in Mexico. These people definitely deserved to die, and the players felt no qualms about killing them. Moreover, these people controlled territory and armed forces, which were exactly what the players needed. As for the maintenance and treatment of the army, didn't they like the US dollar? The players would help the US with monetary easing, providing as much as they wanted.

Thanks to the backward physical currency transactions in the United States, the vast majority of people at the bottom of society still use tangible US dollars. As long as counterfeit money can bypass the US security system, then these counterfeit bills are all real money. Players lurking in the US banking system will help other players avoid the risk of their serial numbers being discovered, and when necessary, they can also help US banks balance their accounts.

The US government also likes things like burning warehouses with fire; it's a two-way street.

So who will bear the cost?

Need you even ask? Of course, it's the bank depositors. Do you really expect American capitalists to pay back their money? But no matter how much they lose, it's putting pressure on the domestic boilers in the US. The US has to swallow this poison pill no matter what.

So when the players started their operation in Mexico, several banks in the United States caught fire one after another, and the reported losses were enormous, much larger than the actual figures the players had. As for where the extra money went, that's not very clear. Depositors didn't receive it, nor did they receive any compensation, or the compensation was very limited. Who got it? It's hard to guess.

A brutal gunfight is taking place inside a mountain villa in Mexico.

The reason it is so tragic is that drug lords spare no expense on their personal safety. Not only are the people around them trusted confidants, but they are also equipped with the best weapons available, at least among the most advanced available. There are even families attached to them, for example, sending their children abroad to study, and then having them work for the drug lord's company after they return. In short, they are all in the same boat, whether they prosper or suffer together.

Compared to the US government's unsustainable and exploitative approach, drug lords seem much more compassionate.

But they still have to die. Before, Mexico left them with virtually no way out, but now Mexico has a better option, so they can go in peace. Mexico will be taken care of by the players and will live well.

The fierce resistance lasted only a dozen minutes before it ended. After all, they were just mortals. Facing humanoid tanks that could smash through walls while wearing heavy armor, they couldn't win no matter how they fought. Even if they managed to exchange a few players, they were still doomed to die in the face of an all-round siege with superior troops, superior weapons, and superior tactical skills.

"Target located, drug kingpin Guzman, confirmed dead. We can proceed with the next step of the plan."

"Received. Begin the second phase of the plan."

The second phase of the plan is to take over everything from the drug lords and transform this place into a revolutionary base. This is a relatively long process, and many people will die. But mass work still needs to be done. Whether it is war or peace, someone needs to stand up and become a vanguard to guide more people onto the right path.

This is also part of the world revolution of the Eighth World.

But the most heated battleground isn't just Mexico. Since they've chosen to take action, they need to keep the US preoccupied, ignite the entire Americas, and get the US military bogged down on their own doorstep.

The Americas have very diverse terrains, including deserts, plains, and rainforests. There's bound to be a place that can remind the United States of its "good" memories of Vietnam. Hopefully, the US military can gain an advantage in environmental adaptability when fighting on its own doorstep.

This is of course impossible. In reality, the US military's actual control over the entire Americas mainly relies on local compradors and pro-American forces. However, the Americans themselves don't know how many of these people are truly willing to be pro-American and how many are just doing it for their own benefit and could defect at any time.

When the United States is powerful, this is not a problem. You can oppose the United States in your heart, but it is best not to take action, because the United States will kill you. Apart from Castro, the United States has a pretty good record of killing other anti-American figures in Latin America. Besides, Castro had the KGB protecting him, but they did not.

However, things are different now. One of the most important reasons why the Soviet Union suffered a major defeat in its exports to the Americas was that the United States still had its own industrial base and the US government had strong execution capabilities. But now, these have been weakened, and Reagan deserves much credit for this.

The previous war with Iran has proven that the United States has a zero chance of winning when facing players. Now, their opponents are not only players, but also the anti-American armed forces in the region that players have mobilized.

With the rise of revolutionary forces in Mexico and the growing anti-American forces across South America, the CIA finally realized that its primary mission was to protect American interests overseas, rather than trying to traffic drugs.

The new flashpoint in the anti-American struggle in the Americas was the Brazilian People's Revolutionary Army's storming of the US embassy in Brazil. In front of journalists from around the world, they presented numerous evidence of the US ambassador's interference in local politics and then hanged him on charges of aggression, drug trafficking, and crimes against humanity.

The US embassy was occupied by anti-government forces, and the ambassador and his staff were hung from streetlights to dry. This happened in Brazil, which is like a billionaire being slapped twice by a beggar and then having excrement dumped on him.

The shit inside was definitely produced by the US government, but what level are you, Brazil, to dare to criticize the US?

The US government was furious. This was no longer an ordinary anti-government armed group; it was a terrorist organization. There was no time to hesitate; a heavy blow had to be dealt. What about our air force? Deploy it!

This time, the US government is truly enraged. Being humiliated in Asia is no different from being humiliated on its own doorstep. If it can't even protect its own backyard, given the US government's "good reputation" over the years, anti-American forces will surely push to the US's doorstep in the shortest possible time, making America never have peace.

Well, the US government does have a clear self-awareness regarding its own inhumanity.

Before the United States could take any action, the same scenario played out in Mexico. However, this time the Mexican people were clearly very enthusiastic. After the U.S. ambassador was exposed for his various crimes in Mexico and presented the evidence to the world, the U.S. ambassador was beaten to death by the angry Mexican people, along with other traitors arrested by the Mexican People's Front.

The situation in Latin America deteriorated rapidly within a single day, escalating directly to the doorstep of the United States.

No, we're already at our doorstep!

Section 58: God bless America

Do you believe in the conscience of the US government?

Okay, this is a laughable topic. Conscience? For the US government, having a conscience is just a means to sell it off; they'll make even more money after selling their conscience.

Even the CIA director openly and proudly told everyone: "My killing and arson are justified. As long as it is for the benefit of the United States, I can do anything. This is a right given to us by God."

This is the arrogance of the US government, or rather, the American elites. They believe that the world is their pasture, and that they, as God's shepherds, have absolute power over the flock, while the sheep have no right to protest what humans do to them.

It sounds unbelievable, but that's just the arrogant attitude of the Anglo-Saxons.

Of course, it's not impossible to get them to give up their arrogant attitude, but there's a prerequisite: you must be stronger than them.

If, unfortunately, you are seen as vulnerable by them, then I regret to inform you that you are merely food in their eyes, and you will inevitably have a place on their menu.

Japan and South Korea are trembling with fear.

It's pitiful that Canada, which once had the power to easily defeat the US military with its militia, has now become a mere lackey of the United States, while Mexico is a servant, entitled to obey all of its master's orders but not to resist.

The proud Queen of America wielded unlimited power in the Americas and the world.

But now, the flow has changed.

"Take up your weapons. From the day you embarked on the path of resistance against American hegemony, there has been no turning back. It is either victory and glory or darkness and abyss. The choice is in your hands: to live a life of ignominy or to fight with all your might? Answer me, warriors who yearn for freedom!"

In Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, a player, acting as the commander of the Mexican Popular Front, is giving a speech.

A mere speech is meaningless; words are the most powerless adornment in the face of guns and cannons. But what if it's about sharing tangible benefits?

Mexico also had its own system of redistributing land from the wealthy to the poor.

The most distinctive feature of the Americas is the abundance of compradors and traitors. They are all agents supported by the United States, deeply intertwined with American interests. Their sole value lies in transferring profits to the US and ensuring their families reap substantial gains.

In our country's terms, this means hereditary privilege and joining the gluttonous feast of capitalist exploitation.

Therefore, revolutions in the Americas required a complete purge of the upper classes of these countries. Of course, this doesn't mean that all leaders of American countries were bad people. Rather, the proportion of good people in this group was so low that, to put it more concretely, it was like finding 24K pure gold in a toilet.

Given our insufficient strength, we must unite all forces that can be united at present, even if it might become a poison pill in the future. We must absorb it now, digest it, and turn it into our own strength.

The problem is that players don't need these things. They have plenty of people, resources, and armies.

War is a perfect opportunity to purify everything. Keeping those monsters and demons around is pointless; we can't kill them for meat during the New Year. It's best to quickly sweep them into the dustbin of history, so everyone can see a cleaner picture.

After these people are purged, the vacated positions and resources will be redistributed, and the Mexican people will truly own their own wealth and control their own destiny. Anyone who tries to seize these resources will become their mortal enemy.

Of course, not everyone has the courage to rebel, but there will definitely be people who dare to rebel.

The Mexican people are a constant source of soldiers. They may not be mature enough yet and there is still much for them to learn, but once people have felt the pride of standing up, it is hard for them to kneel down again, unless they are born with a servile nature. Such people are an absolute minority in any country.

What's more, now there are people leading them in rebellion, not just talking, but actually eliminating America's agents and distributing money to the poor. Seeing the benefits delivered to their doorstep and the promised bright future, and then thinking back to the miserable days of exploitation and oppression in the past.

Fuck you, America! I'll fight you to the death!

If the enthusiasm of the locals can be mobilized, things will be much easier. Although it is only the revolutionary enthusiasm of a portion of the Mexicans, at least more than half of the Mexicans are indifferent to or even resistant to the wealth allocated to them, unless the Mexican Popular Front led by the player can truly achieve a victory over the US military.

Let's fight! We can win if we fight!

For the US government, Mexico is a backdoor that they absolutely cannot give up.

This sounds a bit strange, but as you can see from the map, Mexico is located just south of the United States, looking like the back door of the country.

The US government in 1997 was not as outrageous as the Trump administration in the 21st century. The president in power was not the incompetent Emperor Xi Jinping, who could not control his back door. Naturally, he would not allow something to rupture his anus, not to mention that the Mexican Popular Front was extremely popular.

Many pro-American locals have had their streetlights hung, much to the delight of the Mexican people, who hope that every traitor and comprador can find their own rope to pull them down.

When it comes to anti-communist efforts, the United States is second to none; just look at McCarthy the Mad Dog of yesteryear.

“The Soviet Union has already collapsed, how could it have turned out like this? It’s like a persistent red ghost.” Little Albert said devastatedly, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by several husbands.

“Mr. President, I must remind you that Mexico is a vital strategic node for the United States, and it is right on our border. If it were to become a communist regime, it would be a disaster for the United States.”

What the US president's advisor did not explicitly say was that if Mexico were to become an enemy regime of the United States, given the current anti-American sentiment in Mexico, it could very well become the United States' biggest enemy on the American continent.

Compared to Cuba, Mexico is much larger in area.

As for why Mexico has such strong opinions about the United States, that's a question for the United States itself to answer.

Fun fact: Mexico lost 230 million square kilometers of land after the Mexican-American War, and now Mexico has less than two million square kilometers. The war was caused by the US government constantly inciting immigrants to cause trouble for the Mexican government.

Does this look familiar? That's right, Israel is doing the same thing now.

They're all cut from the same cloth.

In other words, the US provoked Mexico, a pushover, and ended up reaping a huge benefit. If this hatred had been felt during the Han Dynasty, the grass on America's grave would probably have grown into a tropical rainforest.

“I know it, I know it better than anyone else.”

Albert sighed. It seemed that the original plan to stir up trouble in the Balkans was going to fall through. After all, if the US government couldn't even protect its own backdoors, then other countries would basically not take the US seriously.

The greatest predicament of hegemonic countries is that they must always export military power and maintain their unparalleled military strength, constantly building their invincible status so that all other countries kneel and look up to them.

Unfortunately, no country in the world is invincible. The United States is certainly not invincible either, let alone capable of fighting on multiple fronts.

What? You mean the US fought on two fronts during World War II?

Good heavens! Don't forget that during World War II, the United States still had its allies, Britain and the Soviet Union, to contain Germany, and Japan's main land military forces were tied down by China. The United States was essentially facing a crippled Germany and a Japan whose elite army was largely tied down. Even under these circumstances, the United States still suffered millions of casualties in World War II.

Moreover, the United States did not suffer any fatal blows throughout World War II, and it was basically a war without any damage. With a stable rear base, you can fight on two fronts, or even a spider web, as long as the resources and population can support it.

"Let's move our soldiers and prepared equipment to Mexico. Next, we'll defend America's backyard. God bless America."

President Albert Jr. made the sign of the cross on his chest, his devout expression suggesting he could truly receive God's blessing.

Section 59: The Theory of a Quick Victory for Imperialism

As long as the top leadership in the United States reaches a consensus, the efficiency of the US military is still very high. There is just one small problem: their next enemy does not intend to engage in conventional warfare with them.

It's not impossible for players to engage in direct combat with the US military, but the cost-effectiveness is too low. Moreover, the items exchanged for completing missions in another world also require points, which are the players' lifeline.

Local production only requires US dollars, but Mexico's manufacturing level is at best only sufficient for the production of small arms. They can't very well use their outdated military equipment to compete with the US military at its peak; the exchange ratio would be extremely poor.

Even if it's a 1:1 ratio, the players are still at a loss.

The most economical method is guerrilla warfare. In this process, it is easy to see who sides with the US military and who insists on resistance. The US military's guerrilla warfare nature will help the Mexican people recognize reality and know which side they should choose in the shortest amount of time.

"Don't worry about it. Our ancestors taught us how to fight tunnel warfare, landmine warfare, transportation warfare, and guerrilla warfare. Now we just need to replicate them according to local conditions."

The players' biggest advantage is their unlimited margin for error; if it doesn't work this time, there's always next time, and if that doesn't work, there's always the time after that. Turn the entire country of Mexico into a meat grinder, grinding and crushing American troops bit by bit.

Before the arrival of the US military, the Mexican government's original army naturally had to help its masters, but the combat effectiveness of these puppet troops was truly questionable. They couldn't even defeat armed drug lords, let alone fight against the guerrillas led by the player. What's with all the food? You're so drunk. Should we give you some cephalosporin?

The battle was akin to an 18th-century performance of 21st-century light weapons. The Mexican government forces' performance was disastrous: their deployment was disjointed, their flanks were empty, reinforcements were slow, and their retreat was disorganized. They fell into every pitfall an army should never have, and repeatedly, without any intention of learning from or reflecting on their mistakes.

This is the true combat quality of the puppet army. Now Mexico City has been liberated by the Popular Front of Mexico. At this time, the Mexican government is in a state of chaos... a group of insects without a leader. It was already a group of insects, and now it doesn't even have a basic upper command system. The result of fighting each other is that the group is being torn apart. In every direction, it has achieved the goal of remaining unmoved when friendly forces are in trouble.

Zhang Lingfu was in tears, thinking, "I am not alone on this path."

Seeing the Mexican government forces collapse one after another, the US government didn't even have the energy to curse anymore.

Dude, are you fucking lame?!

The US military in this world has never witnessed the scale of the Mexican drug war. Drug lords, by binding the Mexican people with their interests, launched a unique people's war that kept the Mexican government busy and ultimately failed. Let alone a truly fully armed and rebuilt popular front in Mexico.

Players not only brought advanced ideas and organization, but also achieved effective government execution.

A force of this caliber would be a formidable opponent not only in the Americas, but in any continent or country. Within just one week of the start of the war, the Mexican Popular Front had pushed its front line to the US-Mexico border, prompting the US to scramble a massive bomber force, thus preventing a complete collapse of the government forces.

Yes, it's not a retreat, it's a complete rout. The Mexican government's armed forces in various regions have now been reduced to conscripting men, and their performance is even worse than that of Chiang Kai-shek.

Faced with the performance of America's other underlings, Chiang Kai-shek could truly laugh with a crooked grin.

It's a pity that the United States only had such a Dior-level scumbag once in its entire history, and then never had the chance to have him again. It's truly regrettable. But the Mexican government should still try to save him. He's their own dog, and they can't just let him be cooked by the Popular Front.

After this round of bombing, the US military began to arrogantly announce how many Mexican terrorists they had eliminated and how they had protected the legitimate Mexican government. It was just one bombing, yet they were making a show of force as if they were Jesus.

This is a common practice of the US government, and people are used to it.

Soon, the US government began its follow-up actions. Ground troops were deployed to Mexico, and a large number of strategic bombers began bombing the strongholds and controlled areas of the Popular Front of Mexico, quickly turning the entire country into a living hell.

The Mexican Popular Front also followed Iran's example, purchasing Xinhua's global live streaming service and then accusing the US military of inhumane behavior.

The US government denies all of this, calling it fake news, all fake news, and claiming that terrorists are scum who lie all the time. They assert that all the ammunition used by the American army is for eliminating terrorists, and that those who died were terrorists.

There is a frequent sense of déjà vu that "all those who died in Israel were Hamas."

Claims are claims, facts are facts. International public opinion is no longer solely dominated by the US government. Therefore, the US's actions have been unanimously condemned by many Third World countries at the United Nations. However, that's all there is to it. The US itself certainly doesn't care, especially since this matter involves the stability of its own backyard, leaving even less room for negotiation.

"The Americas belong to the Americans, and the United States is protecting the Americas!"

This is the speech given by the United States at the United Nations General Assembly, delivered with such certainty, as if it were acting on divine pronouncements.

Believe it or not, the American public actually believes it's a divine message. Their government has been promoting this domestically for many years, and even the US president adds "God bless America" ​​at the end of his speeches.

Whether or not God blessed them is unclear, but after the US forces advanced to the nearest border town, they began to encounter counterattacks from the Mexican Popular Front, and their advance slowed down noticeably.

Initially, the US military didn't pay much attention to these small-scale harassments. However, when these harassments continued from morning till night, the US military began to get restless. No soldier can be on standby 24 hours a day without rest. Besides, did these Mexicans just crawl out of the ground? How come they're everywhere!

They really did emerge from the ground. The speed at which players dug tunnels was comparable to Steve in Minecraft. After the constructs were connected and positioned, the three-dimensional tunnel structure was very easy to dig. The depth was basically thirty or forty meters, and the deepest could reach one hundred or even two hundred meters. The tunnel area and various defensive structures were scattered everywhere. There were real and fake entrances everywhere. Some looked like fake entrances, but they were actually real exits. Behind some real entrances, there were hidden tunnel defense systems (such as traps or landmines, or maybe something else. Anyway, they were all surprises).
