Working as a police officer in Mexico-Chapter 1684 - 764: Boss Wei’s Headache! (Part 2)

Capítulo 1684: Chapter 764: Boss Wei’s Headache! (Part 2)

Casare licked his dry lips, “The common sayings are: ‘Our land is big enough, the water issue is resolved, why continue fighting?’ ‘Guard the borders, maintain high pressure, let the Americans mess themselves up, wouldn’t that be better?’ ‘Now the whole world treats us like a plague, it’s hard to go abroad, what good would winning bring? Can it bring a better life?’

He concluded lastly, “The anti-war sentiment is indeed brewing, boss. Although it’s not yet to a point that shakes the foundation of the country, it’s like termites in the wood; if left unchecked, there will be problems sooner or later. Moreover, NATO and the ‘Freedom Alliance’ propaganda machines aren’t idle, their signals can penetrate, constantly amplifying these negative emotions.”

Victor silently listened, stood up, walked toward the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking Cancun’s blue coastline and the bustling port in the distance.

Several cargo ships with flags of Liberia and Panama were unloading, and they were likely carrying embargoed goods brought in through various channels, priced three times, even five times, the usual.

“The US Dollar is in free fall…” he suddenly said, without preamble.

Casare was taken aback for a moment and replied, “Yes, as mentioned in the brief, it has fallen sharply, and Wall Street is crying out.”

“Not just Wall Street.”

Victor turned around and shook his head, “The plunging US Dollar means everything priced in dollars is spiking. Oil, food, minerals—who is hit hardest by this?”

Casare quickly thought, “Import countries, countries heavily dependent on imported energy and food, Europe, Japan…”

“And those countries whose foreign reserves are mainly dollar assets.” Victor went back to the table, picked up the report, quickly flipped to the economic impact section, “Inflation will be the death of them. The common people can’t afford gas, can’t afford bread, they don’t care about geopolitical issues, they’ll just blame the current government for incompetence. NATO? NATO’s unity is built on economic abundance. When German housewives find the price of butter doubling, French truck drivers strike because diesel is too expensive… Do you think Paris and Berlin still have the heart to accompany the British and Polish to chew hard bones in Indiana’s muddy fields?”

His pace quickened, “We are embargoed, it’s tough. But what about them? Their currency softens along with the dollar, their inflation skyrockets because of war and sanctions, their soldiers die in unseen street battles thousands of kilometers away… Their domestic pressure is no less than ours.”

Casare’s eyes lit up: “Boss, you mean…” 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

“I mean, at this stage, this war is long beyond simple military confrontation.”

Victor pointed forcefully at the report, “It’s a war of economic attrition to see who can hold their breath the longest, a political endurance test to see who collapses internally first. NATO thinks they can settle it quickly once they step in? Dream on! What they’ve stepped into is a mire deeper than Afghanistan, deeper than Vietnam, and this mire is connected to the global economy’s veins!”

He walked to a massive world map on the wall, his finger tracing over Europe, East Asia. “With US Dollar’s credibility shaken, cracks appear in global trade systems, every country is self-preserving, searching for an exit. At this moment, whoever is bolder, more daring to gamble, more able to bear pain, will last until the end.”

“But… after just a few days of full belly, some people start reminiscing about the days of eating shit? A pack of thankless wolves!”

He suddenly looked at Casare, “What are the intelligence agencies doing?! Also, what about the propaganda department? We’ve controlled so many media yet all they do is broadcast frontline victories and brilliance? Isn’t the public stomach, public anxiety visible to them?!”

Casare quickly said, “The propaganda department is already adjusting, increased coverage on civil affairs safeguard measures, also exposing famine within ‘Freedom Alliance’ control zones and internal contradictions within NATO…”

“Not enough!”

Victor waved his hand, “Find some typical cases, families in hardship getting properly helped by the government, make them into documentaries, play them on a loop. Frontline soldiers’ heroic deeds must be tied with families’ sacrifices and support behind the scenes, don’t just create lone heroes. Moreover, economically tell our economists to properly educate the public on the media!”

He rapidly issued orders, “Explain clearly why the US Dollar falls, why global inflation comes, this isn’t our fault, it’s the inevitable collapse of the old order! It’s the United States and NATO, in their pursuit of hegemony, engaging in warmongering that drags the entire world down, while Mexico is breaking this unjust old order. Our current challenges are growing pains, the darkness before dawn! Persevere, and Mexicans can truly stand up, no longer subjected to Anglo-Saxon exploitation and discrimination!”

He paused and squinted his eyes. “As for those truly daring to incite turmoil, arrest them. Not many, but be quick, conduct public trials. The charge… ‘Colluding with external forces, undermining wartime unity, spreading defeatist sentiment.’ Let everyone know the consequences of betrayal and demoralization.”

“Yes, boss!” Casare solemnly replied.

“Militarily…”

Victor walked back to the sand table, looking at the complex frontline in Indiana, “Tell Kitchener, the ‘hedgehog’ tactics continue but be more flexible. Don’t just hold rigid positions. Small units should take the initiative to attack, raid their logistic lines, harass their camps, especially targeting their command nodes, logistical warehouses, artillery positions. We need to use high-frequency, low-intensity but sustained attacks to wear down their nerves, amplify their casualty numbers. Particularly sow discord among them.”
