Li Qingye was on his way to Thonburi for inspection.
On the other side, the US Seventh Fleet stationed in Northeast Asia also reached its final moments. Patton still did not surrender to the Japanese, and he made a decision.
That is to completely withdraw from Northeast Asia, even abandoning the Guam base, and prepare to return to Hawaii.
Obviously, as a former world overlord, the Seventh Fleet will never surrender easily, especially to its own dog.
Year 4 of Xinghe, January 19th.
The Seventh Fleet assembled at the Guam base did not dare to stop at any time. In order to obtain supplies, Patton even sold Guam and some islands in the Western Pacific to the Homo sapiens company.
And they not only received supplies, but also received a batch of special medicines to treat super monkey pox, even though these special medicines had just been developed and had many untested side effects.
But now, regardless of the side effects, as long as the ability to reproduce can be preserved, it is already a blessing among misfortunes.
The return of the Seventh Fleet this time will bring a strong strength increase 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 that is about to return.
This makes the California Consortium the strongest among the major forces within America.
But at this time, the California consortium was also feeling overwhelmed.
Although they stabilized the situation and quickly included Hawaii and Alaska in their camp, the fundamental problem was still not resolved.
For example, the problem of impotent people, food problem, nuclear bomb problem and rebel problem.
Among them, the problems of impotent people and food problems 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 impotent people is too terrible for internal damage. Some of those impotent people who became eunuchs have accepted the reality, some have chosen to commit suicide, but some have become madmen.
San Francisco, the home base of the California consortium, has no way to avoid it.
Inside the California syndicate's secret headquarters in the suburbs.
More than a dozen directors of the California consortium have been hiding here for several months. Although they obtained a batch of special medicines with serious side effects from the Seventh Fleet via air transport, they did not take them.
After all, special 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 of the California Consortium, glanced at the others:
"Everyone, Alaska is the safest place now. I plan to let some people go to Alaska to take refuge."
"Alaska?" Jack Francis, who controls Silicon Valley's technology capital, thought for a while and then nodded.
Others have no problem with it. Their families also need a safe haven. Although the environment in Alaska is harsh, it is not unsurvivable.
Seeing that no one had any opinions, Hollande raised another topic: "Everyone, the problem of impotent people is getting more and more serious now. We cannot let it go, otherwise these people will destroy the results we have finally achieved."
Riel Simpson, the man behind California's military capital, took a puff of his cigar: "Huh... Hollande, what do you think?"
"Since they want to die, we will help them." Hollande's sinister eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Kill directly?" Jack Francis frowned.
Hollande shook his head, then smiled maliciously and said: "Use this thing!"
He placed something similar to a donut on the table.
"Isn't this?!" Riel Simpson's eyes widened. This thing is a new product developed by his company.
Hollande picked up this model: "It is a control collar. Capture all the weak people who are causing trouble, and then install the control collar if they dare to resist us. The collar can release electric current, and there are four micro-directional bombs."
Everyone looked at each other, but did not object.
Although doing so will cause the impotent and normal people to confront each other, in the view of the consortium council, the impotent people have lost their fundamental value.
After all, it has lost its ability to reproduce, so what use is it? Apart from being cannon fodder and assembly line workers, it doesn't have much use.
A small number of scientific research elites have been protected by them, and now the infected population is actually trash in the eyes of the directors.
If these impotent people rotted away obediently, the California consortium would not adopt such an extreme method. The problem is that some impotent people have gone crazy and attack normal people when they see them. This is something that the consortium board of directors will never allow.
That's why Hollande is preparing to use the extreme method of control collars. Anyway, impotent people will not have offspring, and normal people are the foundation of the consortium.
He explained to everyone with a smile: "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 understand.
As long as the resources for impotent people are reduced, more resources will be available to normal people.
This is like there are 10 people sitting at a table and there are 5 loaves of bread on the table, and each person needs to eat 1 loaf of bread to not be hungry. If it is distributed equally, it is half for each person, then everyone is in a state of hunger.
If you want everyone to have one loaf, you need to continue making bread and increase the number of loaves to 10. The problem is that there is not enough flour in the kitchen now.
If 6 of them eat only one-third of the bread, then the remaining 4 people will have 3.2 pieces of bread. There is no need to continue making bread, and it is very simple to do so.
Rather than finding ways to make bread, it would be better to reduce the supply of bread to some people.
This is what the California consortium thinks. Anyway, impotent people no longer have much value, otherwise they will be forced to install control collars and use them as slaves.
Of course, none of the directors present was a fool. They knew that doing so might cause conflicts in an instant, so they had to make some excuses to cover it up.
For example, it can be used on prison prisoners first, and those rebel prisoners can also be forced to install it.
First capture the impotent people with problems and put them in prison, and let the various places settle down first.
In addition, it is necessary to fully recruit normal people as soldiers of the California Army to prevent the proportion of disabled people from being too high in the army.
Other agencies that control force must give priority to normal people.
After some discussion, most of Hollande's proposals were approved.
The California consortium began to deploy troops and generals, and at the same time let asymptomatic normal people with no problems join armed institutions such as prisons and the military.
The company responsible for producing control collars also rapidly expanded production, using three shifts, and planned to produce 30 million control collars.
So far, 150,000 control collars have been produced and put into use quickly.
The prison was the first institution to fully use control collars, and many prisoners were forced to wear control collars.
In order to prevent the control collar from being removed, not only the unlocking authority of the collar is unified into a core mechanism, but also many automatic triggering systems that prevent disassembly and shielding are set up.
For example, if the wireless network of a collar is blocked, the collar will automatically explode after an hour, and violent disassembly, not to mention, will explode directly.
