Chapter 587 Subtraction
Li Qingye is on his way to Thonburi for an inspection.
On the other hand, the US Seventh Fleet stationed in Northeast Asia also reached its final moment. Patton still did not give in to the Japanese and he made a decision.
That is a complete withdrawal from Northeast Asia, even abandoning the Guam base and preparing to return to Hawaii.
Obviously, as the former world hegemon, the Seventh Fleet would never surrender easily, especially to its own dogs.
January 19, Xinghe year 4.
The Seventh Fleet assembled at the Guam base did not dare to stop at all. In order to obtain supplies, Patton even sold Guam and some islands in the Western Pacific to the Homo Sapiens Company.
Not only did they receive supplies, they also got a batch of special medicines for treating super monkeypox, even though these special medicines had only just been developed and had many side effects that had not been tested.
But now we don’t care about the side effects. As long as we can maintain our reproductive ability, it is a blessing in disguise.
The return of the Seventh Fleet this time will bring great strength to the California Consortium.
After all, the California Consortium now controls six states: California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska. It also controls the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet which is about to return.
This makes the California Consortium the strongest among the major forces within America.
But the California consortium was also feeling overwhelmed at this time.
Although they stabilized the situation and quickly brought Hawaii and Alaska into their camp, the fundamental problem was not resolved.
For example, the problem of impotence, the problem of food, the problem of nuclear bombs and the problem of rebels.
Among them, the problems of impotence and food are internal.
The nuclear bomb problem and the rebel problem are external.
These problems have kept the California consortium busy and unable to spare the energy to unify America.
In fact, the problem of impotence is too destructive to the internal situation. Some of the impotent people who have become eunuchs have accepted the reality, some have chosen to commit suicide, and some have become crazy.
San Francisco, the headquarters , has no way to avoid it.
The California Consortium is located in its secret suburban headquarters.
More than a dozen directors of the California consortium have been hiding here for several months. Although they received a batch of special medicines with serious side effects from the Seventh Fleet via air transport, they did not take them.
After all, specific medicines can only be taken after infection. Now that they are not infected, they naturally don’t need to take them.
And today they held a secret meeting.
Hollande, one of the directors of the California Consortium and the only remaining banker in the California Consortium, glanced at the others:
"Everyone, Alaska is the safest place right now. I plan to let some people take refuge there."
"Alaska?" Jack Francis, who controls Silicon Valley's technology capital, thought for a while and then nodded.
Others had no objections, as their families also needed a safe haven. Although the environment in Alaska was harsh, it was not impossible to survive.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Hollande raised another topic: "Ladies and gentlemen, the problem of impotence is becoming more and more serious. We can't just leave it alone, otherwise these people will destroy the results we have worked so hard to achieve."
Riel Simpson, the man behind the California military payroll, took a puff of his cigar and said, "Hoo...Hollande, what do you think?"
"Since they want to die, we will grant their wish." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Hollande's vicious eyes.
"Kill directly?" Jack Francis frowned.
Hollande shook his head, then smiled maliciously: "Use this thing!"
He placed something that looked like a donut on the table.
"Isn't this?!" Riel Simpson's eyes widened. This thing was a new product developed by his company.
Hollande picked up the model and said, "It is a control collar. We will capture all the troublemakers and put them on control collars. If they dare to resist us, the collars can release electricity and have four micro directional bombs."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected.
Although doing so would lead to confrontation between the paralyzed and normal people, in the eyes of the foundation's board of directors, the paralyzed have lost their fundamental value.
After all, if they lose their ability to reproduce, what use are they? Apart from being cannon fodder and assembly line workers, they don't have much use.
A few scientific research elites have been protected by them, and now the infected population is actually garbage in the eyes of all the directors.
If these paralyzed people had just rotted away on their own, the California Consortium would not have adopted such extreme measures. The problem is that some of the paralyzed people have gone crazy and will attack normal people when they see them, which the Consortium's board of directors will never allow.
That is why Hollande is prepared to use such extreme measures as control collars. After all, impotent people will not have offspring, and normal people are the foundation of the consortium.
He smiled and explained to everyone: "Now 68% of our population has become impotent, and the remaining normal people are concentrated in Washington State, Alaska and Hawaii, so we must use this method."
Others also understood.
As long as the resources for impotent people are reduced, normal people will have more resources available.
It's like there are 10 people sitting at the table, and there are 5 loaves of bread on the table. Each person has to eat 1 loaf of bread to avoid being hungry. If it is distributed equally, that is, half a loaf per person, then everyone will be hungry.
If you want everyone to have a loaf of bread, you need to continue making bread and increase the amount of bread to 10. The problem is that there is not enough flour in the kitchen.
If 6 of them only eat one third of a loaf of bread, the remaining 4 people will have 3.2 loaves of bread, and there is no need to continue making bread. This is very simple to do.
Instead of trying to find ways to make bread, it is better to reduce the bread supply to some people.
This is what the California Consortium thinks. Since impotent people are no longer of much value, they would be forced to wear control collars and be used as slaves.
Of course, none of the directors present were fools. They knew that doing so might instantly cause conflict, so they had to make up some excuses to cover it up.
For example, it can be used on prisoners in prison first, and those rebel prisoners can also be forcibly installed.
First, capture the problematic impotent people and put them in prison, and then let the various places settle down.
Another thing is to recruit all normal people as soldiers of the California Army to avoid the situation where the number of paralyzed people in the army is too high.
Other agencies that have access to force should give priority to using normal people.
After some discussion, most of Hollande's proposals were passed.
The California consortium began to mobilize troops and at the same time, sent normal asymptomatic people with no problems to join armed institutions such as prisons and the military.
The company responsible for producing the control collars also rapidly expanded production, adopting a three-shift approach and planning to produce 30 million control collars.
The 150,000 control collars that have been produced so far have been quickly put into use.
The prison was the first institution to make widespread use of control collars, and many prisoners were forcibly fitted with them.
In order to prevent the control collar from being removed, not only is the unlocking authority of the collar unified in a core organization, but many automatic trigger systems are also set up to prevent disassembly and shielding.
For example, if the wireless network of the collar is blocked, the collar will automatically . Not to mention violent disassembly, it will explode directly.
