Chapter 588: Subtraction
Li Qingye is on his way to Thonburi for an investigation.
On the other hand, the U.S. Seventh Fleet stationed in Northeast Asia also ushered in the last moment, and Patton still did not give in to the Dongying people, he made a decision.
That is, a complete withdrawal from Northeast Asia, even the Guam base has been abandoned, and preparations are being made to return to Hawaii.
Obviously, as a former world hegemon, the Seventh Fleet will never surrender easily, especially to its own dogs.
Galaxy 4, January 19.
The Seventh Fleet, which had been assembled at the Guam base, did not dare to make any stops, and in order to obtain supplies, Patton even sold Guam and some islands in the western Pacific to Homo sapiens.
And not only did they get supplies, but they also got a batch of special drugs to treat super monkeypox, even if these special drugs were just developed and there were many side effects that had not been tested.
But now, no matter what the side effects, as long as the ability to reproduce can be preserved, it is already a blessing in misfortune.
The return of the Seventh Fleet this time will bring a strong increase in strength to the California consortium.
After all, the California consortium now controls six states: California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska, as well as the Third Fleet, and the soon-to-return Seventh Fleet.
This makes the California consortium the strongest of the major forces within America.
But at this time, the California consortium was also feeling anxious.
Although they stabilized the situation and quickly brought Hawaii and Alaska into their camp, the underlying problem remained unresolved.
For example, the problem of impotence, the problem of food, the problem of nuclear bombs, and the problem of rebels.
Among them, the problem of impotence and the problem of food are internal.
And the issue of nuclear bombs and the rebels are external.
These problems have left the California consortium exhausted and unable to spare the energy to dominate America.
In fact, the problem of impotence is too terrible for the internal destruction, those who have become eunuchs, some have accepted the reality, some have chosen to commit suicide, but some have become crazy.
San Francisco, the stronghold of the Californian consortium, has no way to avoid it.
The California consortium is inside its secret headquarters in the suburbs.
More than a dozen directors of the California consortium have been hiding here for months, and although they have obtained a batch of special drugs with great side effects from the Seventh Fleet by air, they have not taken them.
After all, special drugs can only be taken after infection, and 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 trustees of the California Consortium and the only remaining banker of the California Consortium, glanced at the others:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the safety is highest in Alaska right now, and I plan to let some people take refuge in Alaska."
"Alaska?" Jack, who controls Silicon Valley's tech capital? Francis thought for a moment, then nodded.
Others have no objection either, and their families also need a safe haven, and although Alaska's environment is harsh, it's not impossible to survive.
Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Hollande raised another issue: "Ladies and gentlemen, the problem of impotence is getting worse and worse, and we cannot let it go, otherwise these people will destroy the results we have won so hard." ”
Riel, the man behind the California military's payroll? Simpson took a puff on his cigar: "Whew...... Hollande, what are your thoughts? ”
"Since they want to die, we will fulfill them." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Hollande's grim gaze.
"Kill directly?" Jack? Francis frowned.
Hollande shook his head, then smiled maliciously, "Use this thing!" ”
He placed something resembling a doughnut on the table.
"Isn't it?!" Riel? Simpson's eyes widened, this was a new product developed by his company.
Hollande picked up the model: "It's to control the collar, capture all the troublemakers, and then put on the control collar, dare to resist us, the collar can release electricity, and there are four miniature directional bombs." ”
Everyone looked at each other, but there was no objection.
Although this will lead to the confrontation between the impotent and the normal, in the eyes of the Consortium Council, the impotence has lost its fundamental value.
After all, if the ability to reproduce is lost, then what is the use of this, except for being cannon fodder and assembly line workers, it does not have much effect.
A small number of scientific research elites have been protected by them, and now those infected people are actually garbage in the eyes of the directors.
If these impotent people obediently rot themselves, then the California consortium will not adopt such an extreme way, the problem is that some impotent people have gone crazy and attack normal people when they see them, which is never allowed by the consortium council.
That's why Hollande is ready to use the extreme means of controlling the collar, anyway, there will be no offspring for the impotent people, and normal talents are the foundation of the consortium.
"Now that 68 percent of our population is impotent, the rest of the normal population is concentrated in Washington State, Alaska and Hawaii, so we have to do that," he explained with a smile. ”
Others also understood.
As long as the part of the resources of the impotent person is lowered, then the resources that normal people can obtain will be more.
It's like if there are 10 people at a table and there are 5 loaves of bread on the table, and everyone has to eat 1 loaf of bread to not be hungry, if it is evenly distributed, it is half of each person, and everyone is hungry.
If you want everyone to have one loaf of bread, you need to keep making bread and increase the loaves to 10, the problem is that there is not enough flour in the kitchen right now.
If 6 of them eat only one-third of the bread, then the remaining 4 people will have 3.2 loaves of bread, and they don't need to continue making bread, and it's very simple to do so.
Rather than trying to make bread, it is better to keep the bread supply down for some people.
And that's what the California consortium thinks, anyway, the impotent people don't have much value anymore, otherwise they will be forced to install control collars and use them as slaves.
Of course, none of the directors present were fools, and they knew that by doing so, they might provoke conflicts in an instant, so they had to make some excuses to cover them up.
For example, it can be used on prisoners in prisons first, and those rebel prisoners can also be forced to install it.
Catch the problematic impotence in prison first, and let the localities settle down first.
The other is to fully recruit normal people as soldiers of the California Army to avoid the proportion of impotent people in the army being too high.
Other institutions that wield force should give priority to the use of normal people.
After some discussion, the vast majority of Hollande's proposals were adopted.
The California consortium began to deploy troops, while allowing asymptomatic normals who had no problems to join armed institutions such as prisons and the military.
And the company in charge of producing control collars also rapidly expanded production, using three shifts to produce 30 million control collars.
So far, 150,000 control collars have been produced and quickly put into use.
The prison was the first institution to fully use control collars, and many prisoners were forced to wear control collars.
In order to avoid the control collar being removed, not only the unlocking authority of the collar is received into a core mechanism, but also a lot of anti-disassembly and anti-shielding automatic trigger systems are also set up.
For example, if the wireless network of the collar is blocked, the collar will automatically explode after an hour, and the violent disassembly, not to mention, will explode directly.
