Chapter 1143: Chapter 564: Hey! Mexico, Open the Door, It’s Your Son!
Fort Hood Military Base.
Located near Killing City, Texas, it is one of the largest active armored forces bases of the U.S. Army and an important training and deployment center.
At this moment, Major General Hu Meiers, the base’s commander, slams the table with a fierce and dissatisfied expression, glaring at the so-called “Texas Republic” ambassador in front of him, “We will not withdraw!”
“Then be prepared for war!”
The opponent, unwilling to show weakness, snarls with a gloomy face, “I want to see how the US Military will evaluate you after we blow you to pieces—missing? Killed? Or just a regular loss?!”
These words were cruel.
It’s the same old issue; different outcomes result in different pensions.
Hu Meiers’ mouth trembles with anger, “I will crush you remnants with armored forces!”
The ambassador takes a deep breath, shaking his head, “It looks like you’re truly stubborn.”
Just as he finishes speaking, oh dear!
The deputy commander of Fort Hood who stood silently behind Major General Hu Meiers suddenly flashes his eyes, pulls out a gun, and decisively shoots his leader in the back of the head.
Bang—
A close-range assassination, what can you use to resist?
Major General Hu Meiers doesn’t even let out a groan, collapsing onto the table, blood mixed with brain matter flows out continuously.
This sudden scene shocks the entire meeting room.
“Philip, what are you doing!”
“Philip!!”
A crowd shouts in horror, but some also draw guns and target their former colleagues.
“This is called knowing how to adapt, accompanying the U.S. Government to the grave for what?!” Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip roars.
“All officers willing to serve the Texas Republic will be promoted one level, benefits increased by 30%, unwilling ones will get 100 thousand US dollars for a clean break.” The ambassador timely offers his price.
He… salary hike yay.
The crowd looks at each other hesitantly.
Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip reprimands, “Why hesitate? Has President Paul not been benevolent enough to us? If they block our supply lines and don’t allow us to procure, how long do you think the base can hold out?”
“You! Gavin, your household still relies on your salary, don’t be foolish!” He points to a bespectacled staff officer, who bites his lip and reluctantly moves his hand away from the gun holster on his waist.
Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip points to the next one, “Eric, haven’t you always complained about injustice in the army? Appointing you as the Director of Armored Forces Training Bureau, I know your ability, how about it!”
Another senior officer takes a deep breath and lets go of his hand.
He names them one by one, and every officer from Hu Meiers faction or the undecided all surrendered.
The process was intense, but only Major General Hu Meiers died, and the power was seized smoothly.
“Now, it’s time to appease the soldiers below, they also get a 20% pay rise, those who don’t want to work can leave.” The ambassador’s eyes flash, “I have just one requirement, obedience!”
“Understood.”
The response comes sporadically, scattered.
After leaving the meeting room, although many furrowed their brows, they also knew that the fact couldn’t be changed, Fort Hood Base in the central region of Texas has nobody to help them.
“This place is entrusted to you.”
After only two people remain in the office, the ambassador speaks.
Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip’s face is heavy, nods vigorously, “I hope the Mexican side won’t forget their promise to me.”
“Rest assured, the first sum of 2 million US dollars will be transferred to your son’s account in Germany for his studies.”
“Also remember, you are now serving the Texas Republic, not Mexico.”
Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip nods, perhaps wanting to have a taste of words, he mocks, “Who would have thought Paul Constantine Stuart’s Secretary-General, no no no, the current Minister of Internal Affairs Yude Wallace is a Mexican spy.”
Yude Wallace isn’t annoyed, but replies meaningfully, “I can also be bought.”
“As long as the price is right, the President of the United States is just a whoremonger’s price.”
Such straightforward admission of low morals makes Deputy Brigadier General Older Philip open his mouth, but he ends up with a grim face sending the guest away.
After leaving the office, Yude Wallace takes a phone from his bag and makes a call, “Mr. President, yes, Fort Hood is under control, yes yes yes, other military bases will also be taken, victory and achievement belong to the Texas Republic!”
“I will do my utmost to stabilize the military base’s leaders.”
Paul Constantine Stuart on the other end is very pleased, praises him a lot, even paints him a picture saying he sees potential in him and will nominate him for Vice President.
Yude Wallace listens obediently until the other party finishes and hangs up, he seems to hear what’s happening on the other end during the call.
A wine party?!!
Entertaining some high officials, aristocrats, gentlemen, and tycoons of Texas, the sound of glasses clinking can be heard.
Yude Wallace sighs quietly to himself.
“It’s all business!”
Then he gets into the car and leaves.
…
Mexico City, National Palace.
Victor holds a Camel cigarette, lighting it before handing it back to Kennedy, and the two old smokers continue smoking away.
The latter is in a good mood.
“In the original few Texas military bases, our people are installed and placed in high positions, Mr. Paul Constantine Stuart may still be enjoying his presidential days now.”
