Capítulo 1688: Chapter 765: Boss Wei Has a Big Head Too! (2)

Casare licked his somewhat dry lips, “The common saying is: ‘Our land is already big enough, the water issue has been resolved, why continue fighting?’ ‘Why not hold the border, maintain pressure, and let the Americans collapse on their own?’ ‘Now the whole world treats us like a plague, it’s hard to even go abroad. What will winning accomplish? Will it bring us a better life?’

He concluded, “War weariness is indeed brewing, Boss. Although it’s not yet shaking the foundation of our country, it’s like termites in wood; if not addressed, it will eventually cause problems. Moreover, NATO and the ‘Freedom Alliance’ propaganda machines aren’t idle; their signals can penetrate, constantly amplifying these negative emotions.”

Victor listened silently; he stood up, walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed at Cancun’s azure coastline and the bustling port in the distance.

Several cargo ships flying the Liberian and Panamanian flags were unloading, likely carrying embargoed goods brought in through various channels at prices three or even five times higher than usual.

“The US Dollar is diving…” he suddenly said, seemingly out of nowhere.

Casare was taken aback for a moment, then replied, “Yes, the briefings mentioned it, it’s plummeting hard, and Wall Street is in despair.”

“Not just Wall Street.”

Victor turned around, shaking his head, “The US Dollar’s crash means everything priced in dollars is soaring. Who is hit hardest by the skyrocketing prices of oil, food, and minerals?”

Casare quickly thought, “Importing countries, nations heavily reliant on imported energy and food, Europe, Japan…”

“And those countries whose foreign reserves are primarily dollar assets.” Victor returned to the table, picked up the report, and quickly flipped to the section on economic impact, “Inflation will be their undoing. The citizens can’t afford gas or bread; they won’t care about geopolitics, they’ll just curse the current government’s incompetence. NATO? NATO’s unity is built on a full belly. When German housewives find butter has doubled in price, and French truck drivers strike because diesel is too expensive… do you think Paris and Berlin will still be interested in fighting alongside the British and Polish in the Indiana quagmire?”

His speaking speed increased, “We’re under embargo, it’s tough. But them? Their currency weakens alongside the dollar; their inflation skyrockets due to war and sanctions; their soldiers die in endless urban warfare thousands of kilometers away… Their domestic pressures are greater than ours, not smaller.”

Casare’s eyes lit up, “Boss, you mean…”

“I’m saying, at this point in the war, it’s far beyond mere military confrontation.”

Victor forcefully tapped the report, “This is an economic war of attrition, testing who runs out of breath first; a political endurance contest of who collapses internally first. NATO thought they could achieve a quick victory by getting involved? Dream on! What they’ve stepped into is a deeper mire than Afghanistan or Vietnam, a mire connected to the global economic artery!”

He moved to the large world map on the wall, tracing Europe, East Asia with his finger. “The US Dollar’s credibility is shaken, the global trade system fractured, every nation is in self-preservation mode, finding their way out. At this time, whoever is more ruthless, willing to gamble, able to endure pain, will see it through to the end.”

“But… some people, after just a few decent meals, start to long for the days of eating shit again? A bunch of ungrateful wretches!”

He suddenly looked at Casare sharply, “What are the intelligence agencies doing?! And what about the propaganda department? We control so much media, and all they do is broadcast frontline victories and brilliance? Are they blind to the people’s worries, their bellies?”

Casare quickly responded, “The propaganda department is already making adjustments, increasing coverage on social security measures and exposing famine in the ‘Freedom Alliance’ controlled areas and NATO’s internal conflicts…”

“Not enough!”

Victor waved his hand, “Find some examples of families in hardship being effectively helped by the government, make them into documentaries, play them on repeat. Combine tales of frontline heroism with the sacrifices and support of families back home. Don’t just focus on building lone heroes. Also, in terms of economy, have our economists educate the public through media!”

He quickly issued orders, “Explain why the dollar is falling, why global inflation is happening. This isn’t our fault; it’s the inevitable collapse of the old order! It’s the United States and NATO clinging to hegemony, waging reckless wars, dragging down the entire world. However, Mexico is breaking this unjust old order. Our current struggles are growing pains, the darkness before dawn! Endure, and Mexicans will stand up truly, no longer oppressed and discriminated against by the Anglo-Saxons!”

He paused, squinting his eyes, “As for those truly daring to incite, arrest them. Not many, but quickly, and conduct public trials. The charge… ‘Colluding with external forces, undermining wartime unity, spreading defeatist sentiments.’ Let everyone know the consequence of internal betrayal, undermining military morale.”

“Yes, Boss!” Casare responded solemnly.

“Militarily…”

Victor returned to the sand table, examining the intricate battle lines in Indiana, “Tell Kitchener, continue the ‘porcupine’ tactics, but be more flexible. Don’t just hold your ground. Have small units go on the offensive; raid their supply lines, harass their camps, focus on attacking their command nodes, logistics depots, artillery positions. We need to wear them down with frequent, low-intensity but continuous raids, and amplify their casualty numbers. Especially sow discord among them.”
