Working as a police officer in Mexico
Chapter 908 - 478: Life Will Get Better, Won't It?

March 20, the first public holiday after the negotiations concluded.

The White House.

Mike McFarland, the press secretary, wore a serious expression as he looked at the sea of cameras and reporters before him. This elite figure, who had spent over two decades in journalism…

was nonetheless somewhat apprehensive.

He understood the significance of the words he was about to utter...

The United States' ambition to dominate the world was abruptly halted at this moment!

Mike McFarland took a deep breath. "The United States acknowledges the failure and wrongful nature of the US-Mexico War…"

"We apologize to Mexico and the Mexican people and will provide compensation for the victims!"

Clap, clap, clap~

The reporters remained silent, their eyes gleaming as they furiously snapped pictures.

Though the US-Mexico War lasted merely two and a half months, it gave rise to many prominent journalists who, fueled by bonuses, attained promotions, salaries, and even the favor of wealthy women.

Mexico City!

Within Victor National Park.

Thousands of people gathered, holding banners in their hands, their faces painted with Victor's portrait. They nervously watched the massive LED screen!

"We officially apologize to the Mexican people!"

When Mike McFarland slightly bowed toward the camera in apology, instantly…

The entire plaza erupted in jubilation!

No, the entire nation of Mexico did!

"Long live!"

Popcorn and soda were hurled into the sky as countless young individuals cheered loudly. Standing before Victor's statue, they adopted worshipful postures.

The elderly wept uncontrollably, tears and mucus streaming down their withered, speckled faces inspired by overwhelming emotion. One elderly man gestured fiercely at the camera, "146 years! We endured 146 years under American oppression, humiliating years spent in subjugation. Do you think we're unaware of the drug trafficking, smuggling, and human trafficking perpetuated by the U.S. Government?"

"We knew, but we were powerless before. Now, however!"

"The world has heard our suffering and sent us Victor! He's the best, the incomparable one, the eternal gem of the Mexican people!"

This seemingly 80-plus-year-old man used all his strength to shout at the camera, "General Victor, we love you! Long live! Long live!"

Others joined him in cheering, eventually spreading through the crowd until it enveloped the entire plaza.

Journalists from other countries watched this scene in astonishment...

They exchanged glances, their eyes showing unmistakable trepidation...

To condense such mighty power into a single figure!

In the post-World War II world, this has rarely been seen. North Country may count as an example, but that was based on its founding heroes; as for later generals... they had considerable methods too.

Attempting to overthrow the Victor regime through civilian power is now nearly impossible.

"A red-crested Cara Cara eagle devouring the White-headed Eagle!" exclaimed a journalist from Belgium.

Whoosh~!!

Fireworks, meticulously prepared beforehand, shot into the sky, illuminating the somewhat gloomy heavens in brilliant light!

The top floor of the National Palace.

Victor stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the crowd below chanting "Long live," his emotions a chaotic swirl!

Yet…

He undoubtedly felt immense pride.

The spoils from this war were overwhelming; over 30 warships from San Diego had already been hauled back to the port.

What?

Return them to the other side?

Absolutely not!

Spoils of war are never meant to be given back. Among them were 11 Zeus Shield Ships, and along with the previously "defected" one, Mexico now had 12 in total!

Additionally, there were supply ships, destroyers, frigates, and even a "Dolphin Submarine," a conventional diesel-electric submarine developed by the United States Navy in the 1960s.

It was once the world's deepest-diving conventional submarine capable of carrying multiple crew members.

Originally undergoing maintenance at San Diego's port during the outbreak of war, it barely had time to flee and was captured!

These warships provided Mexico's Navy with an abundance of resources, allowing them to retire older vessels and reassign them to the Coast Guard for anti-narcotics operations in territorial waters.

If only there had been an aircraft carrier, that would have been perfect... unfortunately, none were captured.

Nonetheless, Mexico's Navy instantly rose to rank among the world's top ten.

As for San Diego's North Island Naval Air Base, they confiscated seven F/A-18 fighter-bombers, eleven Bell-Boeing V-22 aircraft, and four E-2 reconnaissance planes, ensuring the Navy and Air Force had plenty to celebrate during the new year.

Rumor has it that Admiral Ivica Alonso couldn't stop smiling whenever he saw people, often chattering nonstop in Army Chief Erich Ludendorff's ear, infuriating the latter to the brink of a nervous breakdown.

As expected, the Army stays grounded, the Navy sails abroad, and the Air Force excels in flight.

Americans: Victor, when are you returning my equipment?

Victor: Next time, next time!

Moreover, the Rio Grande now belonged to Mexico, ensuring the downstream farmers access to adequate water supplies.

Mexico's history of water scarcity was to be left behind!

No longer would people be forced to choose soda, compromising their health.

To reverse the significance of "soda" in Mexican society, the Department of Justice issued a legal directive categorizing soda as an "addictive beverage," barring minors from purchasing it!

This decisively slashed soda companies' revenues…

Victor worked to sever American influence in Mexico, one of the many benefits reaped from the war victory.

Beyond these overt changes, behind the scenes…

Mexico had already been dubbed: "The Guide of the Third World."

The Human Progress and Innovation Convention Organization (Ren Lian), within a week, saw applications from over ten countries.

Most importantly…

Ren Lian truly offered funding…

Such influence was beyond calculation.
