In his past life, he was president but faced various obstacles; in this life, he is president but is constrained by his pride.

At least in their past lives, those people were driven by dirty deals, but in this parallel world, American politicians still have dreams. These dreams are hindering their governance, which makes Trump, while unable to hold back, find it somewhat acceptable. At least the White House is relatively clean now, much cleaner than the White House of the bloody 2010s.

Then I should also burn myself a little.

But just as Trump was preparing to unleash his full potential, a bolt from the blue struck: Wernher von Braun was dead.

This is definitely a historical figure, the kind Trump specifically remembers. Along with him, a bunch of experts in the field of rockets and missiles, as well as a large number of other researchers, were killed by Jews.

To be precise, it's the Jewish extremist forces that the players are playing, but there are indeed traces of Jewish capital in them.

Since it's McCarthyism 2.0, how can it lack the persecution of identity politics? Wernher von Braun worked for the Nazis back then, so his death is just karma, a fitting end. As for the others, that's just splash damage. Anyway, Jewish capital doesn't see anything wrong with it, since many of these researchers are leftists.

Using them as the center, clean up their network of relationships; this is also part of McCarthyism. If you don't like it, don't play along.

"This is betrayal! This is a betrayal of America! Who gave them this permission? Who ordered them to do this? Investigate!"

Trump was furious. He knew very well what these people's deaths meant for America. They were the best talents of this era. Although there will be successors, how long will it take for them to arrive?

It is foreseeable that the United States' rocket, missile, and satellite programs will be delayed as a result; no one knows how long the delays will be.

What's even more infuriating for Trump is that McCarthyism is still going strong, showing no signs of stopping.

This also made Trump realize that Wall Street didn't want the chaos to stop because they were seizing power.

Alright, alright, so you want to play this game? Then don't force me to investigate you!

According to American urban legend, the gold held by the Federal Reserve has long been counterfeit, because Wall Street elites have taken it away to line their own pockets, and the figures on the books are just decorations for the American people and other countries in the world.

Ordinary people certainly wouldn't have the ability to verify the authenticity of this; it's gold, not a check that you can just pocket and leave. But Trump knew that while gold is valuable and difficult to move, that doesn't mean it can't be moved, especially by someone who's embezzling. Wouldn't it be difficult to open a back door?

But as I said before, there's no evidence.

"Why do we need evidence? Such an important matter doesn't need evidence at all; questioning is enough."

As a reborn transmigrator, Trump overcame the great terror of life and death and also gained some insights.

In a struggle, it's impossible to avoid death. Compromises always have an end, but bullets are always persuasive.

On Christmas Day 1953, a shocking news story that stunned the world appeared on the front pages of newspapers around the world.

US President Eisenhower deployed Marines to raid the Federal Reserve's vaults, whereupon one-tenth of the gold was missing. The incident is currently under investigation.

The world's public opinion and economy were instantly in an uproar.

Chapter 19: The Golden War

"The U.S. Marines raided the Federal Reserve's vaults. What is Eisenhower trying to do?"

Upon learning of the latest developments by the US government, Qin Shan, who was far away in Hanoi, Vietnam, immediately thought that the world had turned upside down.

This is outrageous! The US president dares to mess with the Federal Reserve!

This is something even President Roosevelt couldn't achieve. As the second US president after Roosevelt, although the degree of centralization in the United States was still there, and Eisenhower was a hero of World War I, he was still the second president after Roosevelt, so his authority was certainly not as great as Roosevelt's. Moreover, the American elite and Wall Street have always had an inextricable relationship. Even if the establishment elites did want to restrict Wall Street, Roosevelt had tried to target the Federal Reserve, but in the end, nothing came of it.

So the question arises: Eisenhower certainly didn't do this out of simple self-interest; he was considering the future of the United States, and even had a willingness to risk his entire family.

Yes, if things have gone this far, it's not surprising that the banker would kill the whole family. The United States is the inheritor and promoter of the Roman legal system, and many of its systems are actually grafted from Rome. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it modern Rome. How could a country that is young in appearance but old in spirit be without the Praetorian Guard succession law?

Looking at the number of US presidents assassinated, it's practically the old Roman Senate system.

You can be Caesar, but you should also consider how Caesar died.

“Perhaps he really wants to nationalize the Federal Reserve,” Washington said.

There's not much going on in World Eight, so whenever Washington has time, he'll come over and chat with Qin Shan.

As for how to stick them on, nobody's interested in that, so I won't go into detail to avoid wasting paper (laughs).

"I didn't expect that Eisenhower in this parallel universe would be such a man."

Qin Shan admired Eisenhower's actions, but if it was only this level, it was a pipe dream to overthrow the Federal Reserve. From the moment the Marines raided the Federal Reserve's vault, this matter turned into a life-or-death struggle between the US government and the capital factions. Even financial capital might not be firmly on the side of the US government at this point.

Capitalists generally prefer small governments, but they also hope that the government can cover the damages they cause.

Many people laugh at the idea of ​​wanting everything, but the prerequisite for wanting so much is that you have the means and the space to do so. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. And the American capitalists' practice of taking away the stove and the house along with it is truly excessive.

That being said, if the US government really had the ability to bail out the market, then it would be the American capitalists who would be kneeling down.

"Let the comrades continue to act according to the original plan. What the US government does is none of our business."

Eisenhower's courage is commendable, but it was his courage, and he was protecting American interests, not his own. As long as the United States exists, unless it disintegrates into fifty countries or becomes a true socialist country, it will remain the most solid backyard of imperialism.

The fact that European capitalists left themselves an escape route in the United States after World War II should tell us who the real enemy is that needs to be eliminated.

The existence of the Soviet Union and Roosevelt's rise to power fundamentally changed capitalism. The former forced capitalism to change, while the latter was the executor of this change, objectively extending the life of capitalism.

This also proves the importance of adapting to change when facing adversity. People are adaptable, so naturally, so are the social systems they create.

At the same time, players on missions in the United States also began discussing Eisenhower's courageous act.

"Holy crap, I didn't expect this world's Eisenhower to be so formidable. Is he going to war with the Federal Reserve?"

"This should be described as waging war against financial capital; it's digging up the roots of financial capital."

"If it really succeeds, wouldn't the federal government be able to control financial capital under a big government system?"

"That's a must. Indeed, parallel worlds are a collection of other possibilities, and we have no choice but to experience them."

"I love this juicy gossip, and I have the video footage. Next episode of 'The Bizarre Country' will be about a parallel world of America."

The player base has always been diverse, and everyone has their own profession in real life. In the past, the opening of player accounts was very strict, but now it has been much more relaxed. As long as you don't deliberately do anything inhumane, then there is no problem in completely treating the parallel world as your game life.

This also means that player behavior is unpredictable.

Some players think Eisenhower is cool and want to see how far he can go, so when doing things, they will lean slightly towards the Eisenhower administration. It's not that they hope America will be great again, they just want to know if the subsequent developments will be so incredible that they will leave people speechless. Everyone is just a spectator and a gossip, who doesn't like fresh and exciting gossip?

Then something very bizarre happened in American history.

Yes, players like to joke, use memes, and act recklessly, but when they actually take action for a goal, their execution is very strong. The players lurking in the United States, relying on their various advantages, have already gained considerable influence in the US government and among the American people. Objectively speaking, if the players are willing to serve the US government, then the US government will immediately gain the ability to implement policies effectively, which is equivalent to indirectly strengthening the US government.

However, this line may be shut down at any time for various bizarre reasons, but as long as it plays a role, it will create the illusion that the US federal government has effective control over the entire United States in a short period of time.

For example, now that Trump and Eisenhower have begun to target the Federal Reserve and are prepared for a fight to the death, half of the states in the United States have publicly expressed their support for the president's actions, adopting an attitude that "America has suffered under the Federal Reserve for too long," which has left a considerable number of American politicians bewildered.

Seriously, dude?

How outrageous is this scene? It's equivalent to the emergence of a powerful local force that advocates centralized power in the American political arena, where personal interests often take precedence over national interests. Although the idea of ​​states weakening their own power sounds absurd, it's an undeniable fact that strengthening the federal government's power weakens the states' power. Now, half of the states in the US support Eisenhower's nationalization of the Federal Reserve, which means that the economic power of the states is being weakened.

But wouldn't that turn it into a socialist big government model? Is the United States about to undergo a complete transformation?

Nobody knows, nobody knows, and even if someone expresses their concerns now, it would be meaningless in this situation.

It was obvious to everyone that President Eisenhower had unexpectedly received strong support from the American political forces.

Isn't it only half?

Dear friend, please note that this means half of them have publicly expressed their support. So what about the other half? As long as they don't openly oppose it, they are likely to be secretly supporting it, or at least not opposing it. This kind of influence can only be achieved by Roosevelt and Eisenhower.

So the Federal Reserve is hated that much?

This is truly a beautiful misunderstanding. It's true that the Federal Reserve is hated, but it's just too far removed from ordinary Americans. It's difficult for people to have a clear understanding of oppression that is outside their comprehension. It's like how in ancient times, rebels killed corrupt officials but not the emperor. When the emperor is high above and far enough away, the bloodsuckers can be well protected.

Those who have direct access to the Federal Reserve and establish relationships with it, whether based on shared interests or even adversarial ones, are generally at the same level. While there may occasionally be individuals who betray their class, there is no class that betrays its own. Everyone is a beneficiary of the system, so there's absolutely no need for them to fight desperately. How else would they make money?

However, due to the appearance of players, the most outrageous scene in world and even human history has been born. Ordinary vested interests, at least in dealing with the Federal Reserve, have betrayed their class.

Many of these politicians even have close ties to the Federal Reserve, which makes the Fed even more uneasy.

Are you guys some kind of time bombs that have infiltrated our area, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble?

Were your previous human-like behaviors all a disguise? Were you waiting for this betrayal today?

Damn, Eisenhower, how long have you been planning this? Otherwise, how can you explain the smooth and skillful execution of your subsequent actions?

In any case, the Federal Reserve, the Jewish capital behind it, and the Wall Street financial elites absolutely do not believe that Eisenhower's actions against them were due to a business-minded game, filled with some neurotic extreme pressure. According to their logic, Eisenhower had been laying the groundwork for a long time, and today was the harvest season.

The Federal Reserve desperately wants to focus its efforts on this issue, but it simply can't. They are now surrounded by enemies. Don't forget, after the Marines took control of the Federal Reserve's vaults, they discovered that one-tenth of the gold was missing.

First of all, Trump can be absolutely certain that he did not touch the gold. The subsequent inventory of the vault was conducted under the watchful eyes of the public, both day and night, with numerous sentries both visible and hidden. The subsequent inventory was conducted openly and transparently, with all the most prominent figures in the United States present. In such an environment, everyone who handled the gold went in naked. Therefore, any discrepancies must have been due to insider theft.

Some gold was even found to be counterfeit during the weighing process.

Very well, it seems that urban legend is true. Those damned Jews really did steal America's gold. As for what they did with the gold, there are too many things they could do. After it's remelted and recast, do you know whose gold it is?

After World War II, many countries stored their gold in the United States, which at least appeared to be the safest place in the world. In addition, as the world's largest industrial nation after World War II, the United States was involved in a lot of trade, so trading gold directly in the United States would save a lot of trouble.

But now that America's own gold has been stolen and out of control, a problem has arisen. What do you think other countries will think? Considering the US government's questionable character, damn it, it's likely that this deficit will have to be made up with our country's gold!

No, absolutely not! That's our country's gold, ours!

Therefore, NATO countries, led by Britain and France, immediately contacted the US government, expressing their desire to reclaim their gold reserves. Their reasons were quite compelling: if the US government cannot protect our country's gold, then we have no choice but to protect our own gold. This is the ballast stone of our national economy, so give it back to us!

After this incident escalated, the Federal Reserve was already stretched thin, and they became even more convinced that this was a conspiracy that Eisenhower had orchestrated long ago, and now everything was unfolding as it did.

I never knew you could be this cunning!

However, the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve after all. Having existed in the United States for so many years, it may not be able to say anything else, but it certainly has all sorts of underhanded and shady methods, such as making certain people who jump out to take sides disappear.

Assassinating the president requires some planning, but killing a governor is not that difficult.

That would normally be the case, but what if the governor was a player?

Now, the constructs controlled by players have all been upgraded to Tier 1 strength. On the battlefield, carrying a main battle tank and moving swiftly is no problem. They can fight, withstand attacks, and deal damage. Most importantly, the extraordinary beings possess extraordinary power, and the constructs can also share this power through the main body and direct connection.

Qin Shan's various efforts to cultivate the local world have now borne fruit, with everyone now capable of dual cultivation of both demons and monsters – no explanation needed.

The Federal Reserve will soon discover that those they thought were easy targets have all proven to be capable of breaking their teeth.

Section 20: Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill Kill

While the United States was in chaos, the People's Revolutionary Union (PRU), which had already completed the integration of Vietnam, began to spread its influence to the surrounding areas. Or to put it more bluntly, the PRU directly sent a declaration of war to France.

Haven't you heard? The People's Revolutionary Alliance directly declared war on France and clearly and explicitly conveyed to the world its message of completely expelling Asian colonial forces and their agents.

I want you all to die.

Meanwhile, the mechanized forces of the People's Revolutionary Union rolled across the border between Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. However, the "mechanization" of this mechanized force was quite different from the mechanization commonly understood by other major powers.

At that time, Laos and Cambodia were still protectorates of Vietnam.

Yes, Cambodia declared independence in 1953, but the French troops had not yet completely withdrawn from the country. Laos was in the same situation. Both countries experienced considerable internal turmoil after the withdrawal of their former colonial powers, mainly due to large power vacuums. However, during the colonial period, neither country had much civilian power to fill these vacuums, and since neither side was willing to submit to the other, the strongest party had to prevail.

This is also the tragedy of colonized countries. After the colonizers leave, many colonized countries find that their history and heritage have been interrupted and distorted to varying degrees, and the continuity of civilization has been destroyed. They have to rely on the inertia of the colonizers' rule before they left to maintain their legality.

The most classic example is India, which inherited everything left by Britain without regard to its merits or whether it could be retained. India certainly made mistakes, but the root cause was the evil created by the British.

However, India's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council is out of the question. Although the UK has failed to gain a permanent seat, it is at least a more normal country than India.

The French troops still stranded in Laos and Cambodia were truly in a panic. They thought they could finally go home peacefully, but the People's Revolutionary Alliance came knocking on their door again with goodwill. However, having no other choice, they had to fight for their own interests.

Because the People's Revolutionary Alliance has already stated that it does not recognize any interests of the former colonists in the colonies, and that once arrested, they must hand over the wealth plundered from the local people in the colonies, or else they will be sent to labor camps until death.

The French naturally imagined the labor reform as the kind of labor in Nazi concentration camps.

"I escaped from a Nazi concentration camp, not to choose another one to go into!"

A French veteran who survived World War II roared, and his courage certainly inspired many people.

For the sake of their own wallets and their own lives, they have no choice but to risk everything.

Southeast Asia in December is still warm and humid, only less hot and dry. Vast forests are good places to hide troops. The French army believed that deploying troops here could effectively contain the People's Revolutionary Alliance.

Moreover, France has many lackeys in Cambodia and Laos, and these lackeys should now make the most of their remaining influence.

In order to get the lackeys to fight to the death, the French government promised them that after they repelled the first wave of attacks from the People's Revolutionary Union, they could obtain French citizenship and take the money they had earned over the years to France to enjoy a good life.

Those warlords who served the colonizers thought about it, gritted their teeth, and did it!

Anyway, those big-time soldiers were blocking the front, and I just needed to wait in the rear. It was just about blocking the first wave of the People's Revolutionary Alliance's offensive, which was definitely not a problem. We had a million-strong army (often exaggerated), so the advantage was on my side! But after the People's Revolutionary Alliance crossed the border between Laos and Cambodia, it just stood there and didn't move.

Yes, it stopped moving and held out for more than half a month, leaving both the French and colonial armies baffled.

Should we fight or not? Brother, say something!

There was no response, no stance, no attack; it just stopped there.

During these two weeks, French and colonial troops did try to probe the strength of the People's Revolutionary Union's positions, but as soon as they dared to get within 20 kilometers, they would be immediately killed by artillery shells from who-knows-where, or maybe some other small projectiles. In any case, they all flew in from the sky, and the enemy had no idea what the enemy's position was like.

As for a counter-offensive, don't be ridiculous. The French army simply didn't have that kind of courage, at least not the French Republican Army after World War II.

This eerie silence lasted until January 11, 1954.

At three o'clock in the morning, when people are most tired, the People's Revolutionary Alliance launched its attack with a loud bang.
