most of them have little useful military experience and lose every engagement with the ISA.”
The Secretary of DHS stood up and blurted out, “Are you saying that the DHS can’t stand up to a rag tag bunch of criminals?”
“That’s exactly what we are saying. Those criminals have most of the remaining people behind them plus 80 percent of the remaining US military. You may put up a good fight, but you will lose and each time we will get weaker and chance an internal rebellion.”
The president got mad, turned red then calmed down and said, “You are the experts on warfare and insurrection, so I must go along with your recommendation not to attack South and North Dakota.”
The president turned to the Secretary of State and Secretary of DHS and said, “I want you to set up a meeting with Secretary Amaii and ask him to send UN troops to assist in stopping this rebellion. Together we will crush the enemies of the USA.”
The Joint Chiefs were ushered out of the room so the president and his Secretaries of War, DHS and State could plan their next move.
“Sir, do you trust the Joint Chiefs? If they rebel against us we will be unable to defend our country or even keep control of our own people.”
The Secretary of DHS took offense to that statement and started on a three minute rant.
The president looked at him and said, “I hope that you feel better getting that off your chest, but he is right. We only have a few people with military experience and you have none at all. Your group is suited to keeping our problem children working on collective farms and rounding up criminals, but you are not prepared to fight a real war with these rebels. I will shore up the general’s support or replace them. The UN will give us the muscle we need and I only need to bribe Amaii to get fifty thousand troops. Let’s also take all of the Pacific Coast States back in this one operation. I want a joint UN and DHS operation to capture the leadership of the PCS and we will execute them right here in Harrisburg.”

Port Arthur
Port Arthur, Texas
August, 2021
The helicopter landed on the parking lot of the Port Arthur City Building and Charlie Adam’s staff ran out to greet him. He introduced Captain Roy Grimes, the new military advisor assigned to his territory. His staff had already heard about Charlie’s promotion to territorial governor of Texas and Louisiana. He had just moved into the mayor’s job after Jack was killed by the bombs from the USA that also leveled his house and killed his wife. He was not sure that he was young enough or smart enough to do the job of clearing out the riff raff and rebuilding the two states. His first duty was to promote Joe to police chief and find a mayor for Port Arthur. Joe was his right arm and his only downfall was that he had been sleeping with Charlie’s daughter who also worked in the police station for Charlie. Charlie had a blunt conversation with Joe and the result was an engagement and an upcoming wedding. Charlie knew that he would catch some opposition for promoting his soon to be son in law, but knew that Joe was the right man for the job.
He saw Jenny first and gave her a kiss and hug, then asked her to set up a quick meeting with Joe and then a meeting with the town council in about two hours. He asked his administrative assistant to introduce the captain to the City council and to the business leaders around town and have him back for the afternoon meeting.
“Joe, come on in and sit a spell. Catch me up on the last few days of Port Arthur news.”
“We caught Greg Allgood, but that damned Gabe Daniels has disappeared. We have half the town looking for him and will catch the bastard eventually. The rest is the same old same old. Nothing big. I do want to tell you that I had to tune up Earl Bonner again for getting drunk and beating on his wife and kids. Unless you
