Chapter 576: War and Chaos
California.
The new city of San Francisco, as the core area of the California consortium, naturally did not experience chaos.
Although they were also not feeling well under the impact of super monkeypox, fortunately the person in charge of the California consortium was very ruthless and directly ordered the local garrison to launch missiles, turning several rebellious towns into ruins.
Through this terrifying deterrent, the entire California was quickly stabilized.
As the largest military production base in America, the California Consortium is extremely powerful. Even though it was hit hard by a major earthquake before, it still retains a strong military industry.
Faced with the chaos on the mainland, the California Consortium acted quickly, mobilizing the Third Fleet stationed near San Francisco, and quickly moved north to control Oregon and Washington, two Pacific coastal states, and then waited for the situation in other regions.
At the same time, the California consortium is also contacting Alaska and Hawaii, hoping that they can follow their arrangements.
The Texas consortium and the Chicago consortium also had the same idea. They each used their own unique skills to control many areas.
However, the central, northern, and southeastern regions of America are almost completely out of control.
Especially in the state of Texas, which is originally very strong, due to its relatively warm weather, it has become a hard-hit area of super monkeypox.
Now the Texas consortium is still desperately trying to put down local rebellions and thugs, and has no time to seize territory.
However, the Texas, California and Chicago consortiums are still okay, at least much better than the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums.
After all, as a financial group, the Morgan Consortium's core assets are actually banking, insurance, finance, and then military industry and medical care.
The Rockefeller Foundation, which has undergone a facelift, also learned from the Morgan Foundation and formed an industrial layout with finance as the core and then flourishing in all aspects.
The advantage of this complex industrial layout is that it enables comprehensive development and basically remains invincible in peacetime.
But the disadvantage is that once faced with such an internal collapse, the consortium without a core control area may collapse.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums’ industries are spread all over America and even the entire free world.
However, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter how powerful the Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums are, they will definitely not be able to defeat the California consortium in California.
Also arriving, they couldn't beat the Texas Consortium in Texas.
The Morgan and Rockefeller consortiums, which did not have a core area, were the ones that suffered the most losses in this chaos and did not control an entire state.
Inside an underground base in the suburbs of New York State.
Thomas Morgan looked extremely unhappy as he listened to his men's reports.
The butler said anxiously: "Boss! Our arsenal in Texas was forcibly taken over by the Texas Consortium, and the same is true in California..."
"Bastards! These bastards!" Thomas was furious.
But there's no use being angry.
From the very beginning, America was a consortium of companies that came together for profit, not for some lard.
This naked interest relationship is destined to make them unwilling to sacrifice themselves for others.
Although local consortiums such as the California Consortium, the Texas Consortium and the Chicago Consortium have stated that they will not infringe on the assets of the Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium, and will return the assets to their original owners when things return to normal in the future.
The problem is that the chaos is still going on and is getting worse.
Thomas knew that these local consortiums were definitely coveting the assets of the Morgan Consortium, and that the local consortiums were already taking action.
…
The other side.
Western Kansas.
After seizing a warehouse, the bald man is leading his team back to the city under his control.
Although this is a small city, the bald man knows that the safety of such a small city is still not enough.
But at this stage he has no way to capture big cities. After all, Kansas is covered with snow and ice. The three small towns he controls have a population of 18,000. With the talents and troops he has gathered in recent days, the total population is close to 24,000.
The town’s original grain and food could not last for a month.
The bald man then led his troops to seize the strategic warehouse.
However, they did not get much food from the strategic warehouse, which was used to store combat uniforms and helmets, as well as a small amount of gasoline and diesel. The food was very scarce.
This result left the bald man speechless.
“Are there any other warehouses nearby?”
His deputy looked thoughtful, and several other people were also racking their brains.
Suddenly a young man with tattoos raised his hand and said, "Chief, I have a clue."
The bald man turned his head and looked at the young man: "Speak."
"I've seen large container trucks frequently entering and exiting the mountains and forests northwest of Danina Town. There might be a secret base there." Huabi quickly gave his clues.
The bald man's eyes flashed with excitement: "Map."
A young man quickly handed over a very detailed local map.
“ Is this the town?”
Huabi nodded quickly and pointed to a mountain area near the town and explained, "It's right here. There's no road marked on the map because there's no cement road there, only a dirt road."
The bald man thought for a moment, then ordered, "Matthew, take a squad and drive to the vicinity to scout, but don't alert the people inside."
Flower Arm swallowed and nodded, "Yes, Chief."
Soon, a squad, along with two armed pickup trucks, drove quickly along the road towards the town of Danina.
This inconspicuous town is only about 147 kilometers away.
An hour and a half later.
Armed pickup trucks arrived at the town of Danina.
"Matthew, is this the dirt road?" The squad leader Huangmao turned his head and asked.
Matthew looked around and recognized the approximate location of the dirt road, still in the snow-covered mountains and forests. "It's here, but I don't know exactly where the base is."
"It doesn't matter. We can drive along the dirt road and we will definitely find it." Huang Mao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
The pickup truck drove quickly into the forest on the frozen dirt road. After about half an hour, it drove carefully for about 12 kilometers.
Huangmao finally found a forest farm surrounded by barbed wire. He picked up the telescope and carefully observed the situation inside the forest farm.
There are several large iron gates on the small hill in front of us.
Suddenly one of the iron gates opened and three armored vehicles rushed out.
"Oh no! Turn around immediately!" Huangmao was shocked.
The driver also knew the danger, so he immediately reversed the car, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and quickly drove towards the dirt road.
Bang, bang, bang…
A streak of tracer bullets calibrated the firing direction and swept around the pickup truck.
Immediately, dense bullets sprayed over.
Bang, bang, bang…
The armed pickup truck behind had no time to react and its driver's seat was blown up. The driver died on the spot. The remaining four militiamen immediately took out their rifles and pistols and fought back.
The two sides engaged in fierce firefight in the silent snowy mountains and forests.
But the yellow-haired man threw his little brother aside and said, "Hurry up! Speed up!"
In less than ten minutes, the gunshots in the forest gradually stopped, and Huangmao ran out of the dirt road. Once on the highway, he fled frantically towards the base camp.
