Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

The white-haired president sighed and said: "Since it is irreparable, then give them a dilapidated California!"

The afterglow of the setting sun became even more dim, and the face of the white-haired president became increasingly gloomy.

......

Another week passed.

As the governor of California, James officially signed an order to start hosting the California referendum for a week.

For a time, the mood of the California public was high, and almost everyone with a California household registration participated, even a large number of slum residents and homeless people joined in.

The middle and high-level leaders have reached an agreement, and the bottom-level people are eager to change the status quo. Therefore, an independent California has become the hope of the vast majority of Californians.

At the polling place, Julie, an 83-year-old retired teacher from a community college in California, stated to reporters: "In this society, there is no chance to realize justice and ideals. In the past, people may think that birth does not determine what kind of person you will become. "

"But I think we've failed terribly on that front, so I'm looking forward to a fair and just California!"

And Robert, a 69-year-old retired worker, said: "The current oil price is ridiculously high, I am very angry and very disappointed about it,"

“但我期待新加利福利亚，因为我们有了可控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！核聚变......我们有了无限、高效、清洁、廉价的可控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！核聚变电站！”

Vincent Johnson, a 57-year-old retired worker, said: "Politicians talk about race and often ignore the difficulty of low-income people moving up in society. People of color usually have no opportunities for upward mobility in this terrible country... ..."

"So we all desperately want a more just California!"

Mather, a 54-year-old Los Angeles resident, believes: "As a self-employed person, I often feel a little helpless. I can't guess the trend of the market, because Congress and the Federal Reserve are like a harvesting sickle, harvesting our property!".

"These sons of a bitch capitalists and politicians are sucking our flesh and blood all the time..."

"So I'm very much looking forward to the economic policies of New California..."

For a while, the eyes of the whole world were cast over. As the most powerful superpower in the post-Cold War era, Laomei is now the most powerful younger brother clamoring for a separation. The people who eat melons may think it is a joke.

But countries like Britain, France, and Australia, which claim to be the younger brothers of the old America, also choose to watch the fire from the other side at this time, ready to move.

They can't express their position on this matter. First, the camel is bigger than a horse, and the background is still very strong. Second, since California has the confidence to fight for independence, it obviously has two brushes.

They didn't dare to offend Lao Mei, and even California, who was struggling with separation, didn't dare to offend easily.

California's economy even exceeds theirs. What if it succeeds?

Does my own economic ranking have to lean back?

And these years, under the guise of human rights, they have instigated troubles in Kosovo, Kuwait and other places, aren't they all using the same excuses and methods?

The younger brothers watched the fire from the other side, and the big brother obviously couldn't remain indifferent. Within three days, a large number of troops assembled towards the California border.

A number of White House politicians said that once California announced the result, they would raze California to the ground.

The original one-week referendum date was completed in three days.

A total of 3918 million California citizens and 3121 million adults participated in the voting. The final statistical results were sent to James on the morning of the fourth day.

In fact, he knew the result a long time ago, and stood up with a slight smile.

He looked at his staff and said, "How is the security situation at the venue?"

"Mr. President, don't worry, it can be said that it is solid and safe!" The staff changed their titles in advance.

The corners of James' mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Then wish us the best of luck!"

A large crowd gathered in the square outside the state capital, and they were all looking forward to the appearance of Governor James and his announcement of a brand new result.

They held high the flag, no longer the Stars and Stripes, but a variety of patterns.

Some held aloft a cardboard with the words Democratic California or Liberal California written on it.

There are also many rhythmic people sent by James to guide the people and shout various slogans.

In the eyes of everyone, James appeared on the rostrum, escorted by four Xiongan soldiers to ensure his safety.

With a gentle wave, James finally reached the podium to announce the results of the referendum.

"In the name of the Governor of California, I announce that a total of 3121 people participated in this referendum, and 3000 million people voted for California independence!"

James shouted in a passionate tone: "This is the result that our people expect together. I declare that California will become independent from the United States from today onwards."

"I declare that we now form the Democratic Republic of California, with a Provisional Government..."

The interim government will formulate new policies, regulations and policies.

Wow~!

The people in the square cheered enthusiastically, as if this moment belonged entirely to their victory.

They succeeded, they interpreted freedom to the extreme, and they were 'in charge of their own affairs'!

......

At the same time, domestically.

Zhao An bid farewell to Li Zhiyuan in the early hours of the morning. He kissed her forehead, smiled and said calmly, "I'm going to do something, and I'll be back soon!"

Li Zhiyuan kissed her passionately back, and finally said: "I'll wait for you~!"

At this moment, Zhao An no longer had the slightest concealment, and was directly teleported to the Xiong'an regiment base in Valuatu.

Most of the soldiers had already set out, carrying weapons from Mexico under the leadership of Liu Hanghan, entering the country and lurking in various parts of California. The only ones left behind were Gao Qiang, Wang Bing, Zhu Tian, ​​and Dominique.

Zhao An looked at his capable generals, and said with a chuckle: "You four have been with me the longest, and I trust you the most. Now I will take you to fight devils!"

Chapter 934

Texas, state capital of Austin.

Governor Greg Abbott, 65, went to the police station in person and met with Jeff Maxwell, who was in custody.

Ke Jeff was still a little dissatisfied when he saw Greg: "Why, it's just disturbing the law and order. Does the former Texas prosecutor and the current governor need to personally try it?"

Greg didn't feel annoyed at all, he calmly sat opposite Ke Jeff and smiled slightly: "I know that you will be a little bit resentful when you are detained here, but you must know that I am protecting you, not violating you s right."

Kejieff snorted and said, "Protection? Are there any protections like yours?"

"It's not good for me to live in my 800-square-meter villa. I ran to you for protection?"

Greg said patiently: "That's the fact. With the current situation, if I don't detain you, maybe you will cause some trouble."

"But it's not necessary now..."

"What do you mean?" Ke Jeff frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean you don't need it anymore?"

Greg laughed and said, "California held an independence referendum three days ago, and now the results have come out. The California referendum voted through California to declare the establishment of the California Democratic Republic."

Kejieff's shocked eyes almost popped out, and there was a sudden buzz in his head as if something exploded inside.

Only then did he think of the topic that the Russian beauty told him, and when the time was right, the problem would be solved naturally.

But he suddenly frowned again, looked at Greg in front of him and said, "What does the governor think?"

He understood that Greg didn't come to him for no reason, otherwise, how could he, the governor of the state, come to a place like the police station in person.

Greg smiled and said, "It's so easy to talk to smart people, Jeff Maxwell, compared to you, you have also been in contact with DT people."

"DT?"

Ke Jeff shook his head, but said, "I've only been in contact with a woman named Anna recently."

Greg said: "Yes, that's her, Anna Barnov. She used to be a French model, and now she's one of the directors of DT. Has she promised you anything?"

Ke Jeff said lightly: "She just asked me to wait for the good news, but I didn't expect that it was the governor who waited..."

Greg changed his sitting position, raised his legs and said, "Three days ago, the Third and Sixth Armies and some National Guards tried to pass through the territory of Texas, but I strongly refused."

"So they can only take a detour. Now they are stationed on the border in Nevada and are ready to move. It is estimated that they are also preparing to attack now."

Ke Jeff said impatiently: "Governor Greg is better to be direct, I don't like a long-winded person talking in front of me..."

Greg cursed inwardly, and then said: "You know the history of our state of Texas. It was originally an independent republic, but for various reasons, it has to submit to the Constitution now."

"Now that California has achieved independence through a referendum, it's an act of democracy that we should emulate."

"So?" Ke Jeff actually agreed in his heart, but his face was still unmoved: "You also want to follow the road of California?"

Greg laughed and said, "We don't have to follow the old path of California. Anyway, there have always been voices supporting independence in this territory,"

"If you can completely control the source" 发;自;小.说,Group:9;8!0?2'05:8! !To control the local armed forces, we can seek recognition from Mexico. After all, Texas used to belong to Mexico. Once Mexico recognizes independence, there will be more room for manipulation. "

"Texas originally belonged to Mexico, but it became an independent country under the influence of the old US, and was forcibly annexed. If Texas is independent, it is reasonable and legal, and it is in the interests of the people of Texas."

This trick is very familiar to old American politicians.

This is still learned from the Kosovo issue, including how Texas was annexed by the United States, and local politicians must be very clear about it.

Therefore, it can be said that Texas has a wealth of independent experience, and the state's economic strength is also strong enough to support the independent operation of the state.

There was a smile on Jeff Maxwell's face: "So, you want me to help you build your own armed forces?"

Greg said frankly: "Yes, Mr. Maxwell, your family has a wide range of influence in Texas, and Control Source" issued; 9! !It has controlled a large range of underground forces, and the family has a military industrial enterprise on the surface. This is what our Republican Party is worth fighting for. "

"Then what good can I do?" Ke Jeff responded indifferently.

Greg: "Lots of military orders, and... future Speaker of Parliament!"

This is already the best condition. Ke Jeff does not need to consider the room for bargaining at all, and the Republicans will not let him be president.

So he stood up immediately, forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and stretched out his hand: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Greg shook hands with him with a triumphant smile and said, "Happy cooperation!"

......

The U.S. military moved much faster than expected.

The moment James declared California's independence, the Third Army began to cross the border from Reno, Nevada, and Surkilet, near Las Vegas, and attacked California from two directions.

The first road is not very far from Sacramento, the state capital of California. It is estimated that it will take three to four hours to arrive at the fastest.

The Sixth Army is temporarily stationed on the border of Arizona, which can be considered as a support for the Third Army.

But the advance of the Third Army was soon met with strong resistance.

The National Guard in California had been reorganized under the influence of the Dark Friars more than a month ago, and now they are all armed forces loyal to James.

They used a month to build a large number of bunkers and barriers on the Sierra Nevada, and when the US army attacked, they mobilized heavy artillery to blow up the interstate highway from Reno to Sacramento.

The terrain of California generally looks magnificent and simple, with the coastal mountains at an altitude of hundreds to more than 2000 meters on the west side, and the taller and undulating Sierra Nevada mountains on the east side.

Two series of mountains with very similar trends form a central valley about 700 kilometers long in the middle.

Therefore, if you attack from Nevada, you can go from Reno, but once the Canadian army blocks the road, the Sierra Nevada is a natural barrier.

The army was frustrated and stagnated, and the third army decisively called for air support. More than 100 fighter planes took off and headed towards the defense line of the Canadian army in the Sierra Nevada area.

Chapter 935 Declaring War

The outbreak of the civil war defined by the old Americans naturally attracted the greatest degree of attention internationally.

As the only superpower in the world today, any movement of it affects the whole body.

What's more, it has so many younger brothers watching, if this can't clean up a small California, how will it mess around in front of younger brothers in the future?

So from the beginning, the strongest combat power was used.

The army gathered forces to attack the Sierra Nevada Pass fiercely, intending to open up this passage, so that they could drive straight in and take Sacramento, the core of California.

However, the Sierra Nevada Pass was organized by the Dark Friars to build a large number of bunkers and barriers, and it was not so easy to break through for a while.

The Third Army quickly replaced the heavy artillery, coupled with air force bombing, a large number of shells and missiles poured on this gap in the Sierra Nevada as if free of money.

The California side didn't just get beaten and didn't fight back. The anti-aircraft firepower was fully fired, and missiles were also used to attack the opponent's artillery positions.

Third Army Command.

The lieutenant general and commander-in-chief Karak calmly looked at the satellite map and analyzed the situation based on the intelligence fed back from the front line.

"Your Excellency, within one hour, we destroyed 48 enemy bunkers and 3 artillery positions..."

The intelligence officer reported the battle situation to him. The current battle situation is superior to the Third Army, and they don't want to completely destroy California. After all, it is a relatively developed state in the old United States.

Clark snorted coldly and said: "Send engineers to repair the road with all their strength. We must open this passage before sunset, and we will take down Sacramento today!"

In addition to the army, the air force and navy also dispatched troops to attack.

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana dispatched hundreds of bombers to attack, and sent more than 20 fighter escorts.
