Chapter 1469: Chapter 478: Warm Welcome, Enthusiastic Welcome_3

Now the populace of New America is eager to celebrate nationwide, even though many of them do not truly understand what the victory in the drug war means for them, but that doesn’t stop them from being happy.

Victory is essentially an important component in building a collective consciousness.

Especially when you genuinely win, it greatly enhances the cohesion of the collective, making the entire group cheer for you, while swaying more of the original centrists to lean towards you, forming a larger group with your ideas at its core.

Even that great man only established his unshakable central position and absolute trust through one victory after another.

This has caused Lin Miao’s reputation to soar among New America’s citizens.

Originally, due to the Detroit incident, senators who bombarded Lin Miao daily in the National Assembly began to waver.

Do not underestimate these senators; the groups behind them are the actual masters of New America, sharing the power equally with military technology.

The federal-state system and power division of New America can to some degree be compared to the Eastern Jin.

In short—it’s clan politics.

Many people can only see the surface party fighting politics, but actually, what is truly rooted in North America is a collection of old money families that have existed even before the establishment of the United States, who absolutely advocate for elite governance rather than democratic rule.

In the eyes of these old money families, Boss Ma, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg are merely new money aristocrats who have climbed up in recent years, not worthy of their attention.

These new money individuals are attempting various ways to become old money or enter the circle of old money.

More notable old money families, like the Roosevelt family, Kennedy family, have ascended to the presidential throne.

There are also many who haven’t ascended to the presidency but actually dominate behind the scenes, known as the ’Five Outstanding Families’ and ’Seven Surnames.’

For instance, the Winthrop family, Payne family, Henry Lodge family, Dutton family, Starr family...

These families have dominated political forces in the states for a full three hundred years, with many rooted here before the establishment of New America. Senator and representative positions are often passed down from father to son, forming a bona fide Brahman class.

Back in the day, Ted Kennedy, the younger brother of President John F. Kennedy, was a senator in Massachusetts for a full fifty years, immovable even when his brother was shot.

These people not only hold the ownership of the entire state’s land resources in their hands but also have their own armed forces ranging from 8000 to 10,000 people, truly local tyrants.

Behind the President, there is a considerable group of old money families backing him; otherwise, he would have been done for long ago.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Miao couldn’t possibly fight against them. Without these people’s permission, the Federation Government’s orders wouldn’t even reach the ears of the grassroots.

Therefore, in the United States, there is no real royalty or nobility distinction, but rather an emperor rotates, this year it’s my family’s turn.

But now, the tremendous political reputation gained from directly piercing through the European Alliance Army in Cuba has forcibly suppressed the emerging signs of division within New America.

The political capital gained through troops and war is incomparable to the money brought by economic development. ℴ

We genuinely have guns in our hands.

Not only these old money families but even Miles and the military science people are dumbfounded.

Come on, bro, I just wanted you to rub against the Europeans in Cuba, bleed them a little, let them find the situation difficult, and leave New America’s backyard, the Latin American Region.

What does it mean to directly smash the Europeans?

The script wasn’t written like this.

And it was amid the artillery exchange between the player and the European Alliance Army that Lin Miao already established ICE headquarters in Detroit.

In a mere week, nearly a thousand retired veterans have been re-recruited, and more and more New America soldiers choose to join Lin Miao’s camp. With the help of wandering retired soldiers from various states waiting eagerly, Detroit’s turmoil was quickly subdued, and the three automotive companies were directly forcibly nationalized into state enterprises, starting a new round of aggressive industrial recovery.

Furthermore, under Lin Miao and Miles’s vigorous promotion, a bill named the [Complete Employment Act] was advanced, shouting another slogan, [America is just one step away from being great again].

The act aims to prescribe the minimum wage for workers, and require the maximum working hours be 40 hours per week, with doubled overtime pay. The United States Government has an obligation to ensure everyone has a job, and if private companies can’t do it, the government needs to directly create jobs, and the government has the authority to revoke corporate licenses and reclaim corporate governance rights over cities.

This bill originally faced huge resistance, with many places directly declaring it invalid, refusing to adhere, letting things be.

If you really did this, damn it, wouldn’t the Federation Government ascend to the heavens directly? What’s the role of me as the State Government then?

Moreover, ensuring everyone has a job?

Do you know what level of price drop we’d face with the current factory productivity?

Why don’t you just ask me to die?

So they tried everything on the public front to attack the Federation Government and Lin Miao.

They know that Lin Miao is very hard to kill; several assassination plans were countered by Lin Miao and the Intelligence Bureau, otherwise, Lin Miao would have had his brains blasted by now.

Yet despite this, Lin Miao continually argued face to face with state senators, at times dragging people to give speeches state by state, although these people looked at Lin Miao with disdain in their eyes.

As if saying, "How can you, a stinky outsider Asian, have the qualification to stand with us and speak?"

If not for knowing killing won’t solve the problem, Lin Miao truly wanted to chop off these people’s heads and stack them outside the White House to play golf.

But now, Cuba’s victory has ultimately shaken the stance of some of them, with people beginning to privately invite Lin Miao for meetings and discuss the proposal.

This is good news, but it doesn’t mean Lin Miao intends to let these people off.

Damn it, none of them will get away.

Just as he stood up to prepare for the next work, a stranger’s call interrupted his action.

Upon connecting, a bearded African-American strong man appeared in the video call, looking at Lin Miao.

"Song asked you to find me, what’s the matter?"
