Chapter 438 New Lighthouse
Although there are many newly built safe houses in the US military bases in the American Canal Country, they can avoid insect eavesdropping and surveillance.
However, it is obviously impossible to completely eliminate insects in the mountains and forests outside the base and in ordinary residential areas.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Field Division, the fact that the envoys of the Inca Empire and Santiago came secretly to the American Canal State was almost a blatant act.
Soon the news reached Cattelan Palace.
When Garfield heard the news, he laughed: "You are overestimating yourself!"
He turned to Aurora, who had just come over to report, and instructed: "Aurora."
"Please give me your orders, Mr. Manager." Aurora sat upright.
"You have now been transferred to the system of the Internal Affairs Division, responsible for the entire Latin American region's internal affairs department, and have begun to launch the Lighthouse Project."
"Yes, I will act immediately."
"Remember that the content must be targeted and offensive. Since they don't want to be decent, we will help them be decent."
"I will definitely keep a close eye on it."
After leaving the Cattelan Palace, Aurora went straight to the New Granada Radio Building, which is one of the special departments under the Internal Affairs Department. It is also the headquarters of the Internal Affairs Department for the Latin American region.
She quickly called together the heads of various departments.
More than twenty managers were sitting upright in the office.
"Dear colleagues, according to the instructions from the regional manager's office, the Lighthouse Project has officially been launched. Now let me report on your work progress."
Wu Haoran, the head of the Communication Airship Section, stood up and pulled up a map of Latin America on the holographic projection: "There is still a shortage of communication airships. We currently only have 17 of them, which can only cover the entire New Granada and some areas close to New Granada."
On the map, each airship is a flashing red dot, emitting ripples that simulate electromagnetic waves.
Look at the areas circled in red.
The eastern part of the American Canal State, the northwest of Little Venice, the northeast of the South American Equatorial State, the northern part of the Inca State, and the northwest of the Redwood Federation are all more or less covered by the red circle.
"Not enough, this is not enough." Aurora shook her head.
Wu Haoran is also a good cook who can't cook without rice: "I know it's not enough, but we only have so many communication airships. The next batch will arrive in early April."
“How many ships will be in the next batch?”
"There are 14."
Aurora frowned: "Didn't they say that the airship factory was expanding production?"
Wu Haoran spread his hands: "We also need branches in East Africa and North Africa, and the transport airships have also taken up part of the production line."
"Okay!" Aurora also understood the helplessness of the airship factory.
She looked at the head of another department.
Banderas, who is in charge of the radio section, stood up and said: "We have built four full-frequency radio stations. The equipment is self-sufficient locally. Now we are building a signal transmission tower at the border."
Aurora looked at the holographic map and said, "Select a group of key personnel and send them to Bolivar. The areas around Bolivar are all occupied by the liberal forces. We must strengthen the public opinion offensive there."
"Okay." Banderas nodded.
"In addition, the next batch of communication airships will be deployed in Bolivar for eight ships."
"I'll adjust the plan." Wu Haoran took note of this.
Then she communicated with the content production department, network management department and other departments.
The official language of New Granada is Spanish, and many surrounding areas also use Spanish, which is very beneficial to their work.
After all, public opinion in America is definitely dominated by English, and Homo sapiens needs to use local Spanish and Portuguese to establish a preconceived propaganda system.
After all, the entire Latin American region is mainly spoken in Spanish and Portuguese.
This is another important reason why America, although so close, has never been able to swallow up Latin America.
The culture and language of Latin America are very different from those of North America. Coupled with the historical grievances with North America, there are now widespread anti-American factions throughout Latin America.
Even in the South American Equatorial Countries, Inca Country, Santiago and Pampas, which have relatively good relations with America, there are a large number of anti-American factions.
These people are the ones that can be exploited by Sapiens Corporation.
It is also because of the existence of these people that the free association led by America has only successfully absorbed one American Canal State, and the wrangling among other Latin American forces is still continuing.
Including the Aztecs at America's doorstep, they are actually also in turmoil now. The middle and lower levels tend to work for the Homo sapiens company, while their top leaders and some gangsters tend to favor America.
This internal division is why it is difficult for them to make decisions.
If you force a merge, that's fine too.
The problem is that more than 100 million Aztecs will rush straight to America, and by then all the states within America will definitely be occupied by the Aztecs.
If America really dared to allow more than 100 million Aztecs to enter their homeland, the Field Division would probably wake up laughing in their sleep.
As long as we create more conflicts between the natives and the Hakkas, we can throw southern America into chaos, and maybe even cause another Civil War in North America.
Obviously, the Council of the City on the Hill is not stupid. They agreed to the conditions for the Aztec to join the Free Association. In fact, they wanted to further economically colonize the Aztec and strip the Aztec of its military and foreign affairs, but they would not allow the Aztecs to enter America on a large scale.
You want all the benefits but don't want to pay any price. There is no such good thing in this world.
Therefore, after learning of these conditions, the Field Division immediately exaggerated the situation, announced the news among the Aztec people, and continued to fan the flames.
Several congressmen who clamored to join the Liberal Alliance were shot in the street and died tragically.
This is another important reason why the Free Association of America was not accepted by various forces in Latin America.
After all, you, America, have taken all the benefits. After I joined, I got nothing and was even exploited and economically colonized by you. So why don't I just work for the Homo Sapiens company?
But the Hilltop City Council had no choice.
They are a capital system and they want to make money.
The previous reduction of benefits, increase in prices, and forcing North American natives to work hard have already made many people very unhappy.
If we want to provide good welfare to more than 500 million people in Latin America, it means that welfare in North America will have to be further compressed.
This kind of behavior is like robbing Peter to pay Paul, and that Peter is their own foundation. As long as the leaders of the major families on the council are not crazy, they will not do this, because to do so is to court their own destruction.
Welfare in North America can no longer be compressed.
Otherwise, those ordinary people would run away.
This is America’s dilemma at this stage. It wants to establish a closer regional alliance, but it cannot give up too many benefits to its younger brothers.
If this little brother is a force like Japan or the Maple Leaf Country, which already has good welfare, then America can still accept it.
As for forces like the Aztecs and the Redwood Federation, which have a large number of poor people and few high-quality talents, America's idea is to allow them to join with restrictions.
This is the American version of "take the essence and leave the dregs."
Latin America is now almost schizophrenic due to the competition between Sapiens and America.
Among the various factions within them, some prefer to cooperate with the Homo Sapiens Company, some prefer to join the Free Association, and some want to have it both ways or get free food and drinks.
That is why Garfield launched the Lighthouse Project to strengthen propaganda and public opinion offensive in the entire Latin American region.
However, the Lighthouse Project is not Garfield's trump card.
He also has another plan to cut off the source of the problem, but this plan can only be launched after all the supporting forces are in place.
