I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 47 The US Military is Invincible
In America during this era, going to the movies became a fashion, with millions of people flocking to cinemas across the country every night to watch the latest films.

The release of the documentary film "World War II (Mini Version) 1" was a huge success!

This isn't a particularly exciting movie, or even a movie, but it's undeniably relatable to current events.

Newspapers contain a lot of content, but they are ultimately just text; radio broadcasts are highly real-time, but they still require imagination.

Movies, on the other hand, use dynamic visuals to seemingly bring the war closer to the audience!

Not to mention, the amount of information in this movie is absolutely explosive!

If the Prohibition Bureau battling gangsters is still within people's imagination, then the idea of ​​the US military taking on soldiers from more than a dozen European countries and waging a mini-world war on American soil is truly unsettling!

The ones who couldn't hold on the longest weren't the Americans, but the Europeans.

When the Chicago "ring battle" reached the European continent, Europeans were initially speechless, then burst into laughter that nearly lifted the roof off.

"Hahahaha! My God, what an American spirit! They really... they can always come up with something new!"

"Seriously? Prohibition was already funny enough, but using a wrestling match to resist Prohibition? I never thought America could produce this kind of humor!"

"Yes, this is so American! Reality is even more exciting than drama!"

When the documentary "World War II (Mini Version) 1" was introduced to Europe, the Europeans were practically laughing to tears!
Ever since those American soldiers who arrived on troop transport ships set foot on European soil with an arrogant attitude of "I saved the world," and returned home with bulging wallets and the illusion of being "number one in the world," everyone has been annoyed by those nouveau riche from the New World for a long time.

Well, now that Europe has formed a "coalition" to beat up the American soldiers, it's truly gratifying!
Soldiers from the Allied forces were alright, at least they had fought against the American forces on the battlefield, but soldiers from the Entente forces didn't have that opportunity.

Now we've finally got our chance!
The European veterans featured in the documentary "World War II (Mini Version) 1" all became "heroes" in their respective countries and received support from the entire nation!

"Well done, warriors! Take down the American soldiers!"

There was only one minor dispute:

The Germans believed that the Italians, who were prone to defections, did not belong to the Central Powers and should instead team up with Britain and France.

The British and the Gallic Rooster, however, disliked the Italians' fighting prowess and expelled them from the Allied camp.

Italian: ...

But this is just a minor internal conflict within Europe; when it comes to the United States, everyone is united.

These days, world opinion is still in the hands of old Europe. When Europe got excited, journalists from all over the world, including from the mysterious ancient country of the East, rushed to the United States to witness the “Second World War” firsthand!
European millionaires acted even faster, and first-class cabins on transoceanic cruise ships were booked out instantly.

Nobles, industrial tycoons, socialites... all wanted to be there in person to watch this unprecedented, live-action, and high-octane "New Century Roman Gladiator" performance.

Chicago quickly became the most fashionable tourist destination for the Old World elites.

No, it should be said to be the most concentrated tourist destination for the world's elites.

In the United States, ordinary people flocked to Chicago, and train tickets to Chicago sold out even after prices had increased several times over.

Cars lined the highways in long queues, and gas stations and hotels experienced their busiest period in history.

This wave of "war boom" has made Chicago business people very happy, with all consumer prices skyrocketing.

The Sun's "VIP viewing area" near the "ring" has seen each seat go for $10,000 and is still in high demand!
But do you think The Sun only makes money from this, or from newspapers and movies?

You're underestimating the "monetization" capabilities of capitalist countries!

The fact that the Mafia and Irish gangs go to such great lengths to hire European veterans is nothing more than a propaganda tactic!

The real money was made from the betting platforms that The Sun partnered with Donald and Al Capone!
Gambling is truly a habit that is very difficult for humans to break.

Especially for Americans, everything is a gamble.

There are no legitimate casinos in the United States yet, only underground gambling operations that operate in the legal, illegal, and gray markets.

And how could such an underground casino possibly let go of such a momentous event as World War II!
After the Chicago vote results came out, Donald received countless unidentified people and conducted numerous shady deals—for a market manipulator to win, he first had to manipulate the market well.

In Donald's words, if he had the means, tanks and planes would have been delivered to him. And after the PY deal, various forces, both overt and covert, helped promote and publicize this "world war."

Only with effective promotion can more gamblers be attracted to the market, allowing them to earn more money!

And the influence and channels of these black, white and gray forces are indeed extensive.

For modern Americans, the most enjoyable and interesting thing is watching Chicago's big shows and then betting their way to riches in underground casinos.

They paid attention to the information about the "arena"—the "arena" in the north and south districts were two adjacent two-story warehouse buildings, backed by the river and flanked by reinforced concrete warehouses, which greatly enhanced the convenience of the defending side and made it almost impossible for the attacking side to engage directly!

The "arena" warehouse has been blocked with doors and windows and its walls reinforced. There are several defensive fortifications made of iron barricades and sandbags at the outer intersections... Overall, it is not easy to attack, but it is not a "meat grinder".

The personnel and weapons of both sides in the conflict have also been exposed by the media, each with its own unique skills.

Needless to say, the defending side has even released a documentary to promote themselves. The participants are all European veterans, and their weapons are the submachine guns, light machine guns, grenades, etc. that have already been revealed.

The attacking side, the team brought in by the Prohibition Bureau, almost had their underwear exposed by Washington newspapers.

The team ultimately selected to support the Prohibition Bureau came from the 361st Regiment of the 91st Infantry Division of the United States Army.

To meet the manpower requirement, the Prohibition Board brought in a battalion (about 500 men) to face off against 200 European veterans in each "ring".

In terms of experience, the 361st Regiment had participated in the Meuse-Argun Offensive during World War I and withstood the test of the German army's bloody battles.

In terms of firepower, this battalion not only possesses individual weapons comparable to those of the defending side, but also carries heavy machine guns...

In short, it can be summed up in one word: awesome!

This can also be seen from the odds offered by various underground betting companies.

The odds for "US military win" are the lowest of all, at 1 in 100, meaning you only earn one dollar if you bet $100 and win.

"US military sweeps through" and "US military successfully attacks within half an hour/one hour/two hours" are the mainstream betting options.

Subsequently, the Chicago gangs announced that the defenders would surrender as soon as the Prohibition Bureau forces stormed the warehouse, further diminishing the gamblers' confidence in the defenders.

European newspapers also praised the Chicago gangs, calling them "quite humanitarian..."

Even The Sun, which initiated the "battle," seemed to lack confidence in the defending side.

On the eve of the war, The Sun published a powerful article written by Logan—

The European coalition suffered ten defeats, while the US military achieved ten victories!

"The European coalition forces suffered from language barriers and coordination difficulties, which was a setback."

"The European coalition, playing away from home, lacked confidence, resulting in their second defeat."

"The European coalition forces are out-equipped, this is the third defeat..."

"On the other hand, the US military is an invincible force; this is one victory."

"Furthermore, they are the invincible US military, which is a double victory..."

"Finally, they are the invincible US military, that's ten wins!"

"Rejoice! Behold the invincible American military, utterly crushing those annoying Europeans!"

Such a magnificent piece of writing left readers speechless!
—Say something if you get kidnapped by the US military.

Regardless, this kind of public opinion guidance is everywhere, greatly influencing betting tendencies.

Most of the "I can be patriotic too" American gamblers placed their bets on a major victory for the US military.
