Ridgway took office soon after passing the White House’s appointment.

After arriving in Nevada, Ridgway immediately asked local radio stations to start broadcasting the decisions of the Eagle Sauce government in turn, and launched a fishing boat propaganda offensive against Texas.

Killing people does not necessarily have to use knives and guns. Sometimes, the power of language is just as terrible!

Although there are many rednecks in Texas, these rednecks do not completely want independence.

Anthony, a descendant of General Lister, chose to collude with the German army for his own interests. Ridgway could not stop this, but Ridgway could win over most of the civilians who were not involved in the transaction!

It has been 150 years since the Eagle Sauce became independent. Although Texas was incorporated into the Eagle Sauce’s territory during the Mexican-American War 80 years ago, it has been 80 years after all!

Although Texas was briefly independent, their independence was originally supported and instructed by the American government. The purpose was to separate them from the territory of Mexico, and then find an excuse to annex them.

Therefore, Texas existed as a country for a very short time, only about a month. In such a short time, it is destined to be impossible to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and leave a deep impression in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, after the Civil War, a large number of immigrants from the North to the South benefited from the discovery and development of minerals such as California gold mines and Texas oil. A large number of northern immigrants entered here. Compared with the local rednecks, these northern immigrants must be more loyal to the American government! Moreover

, after the Civil War, the American government ushered in a new wave of international immigration. A large number of immigrants from Europe poured into North America, further diluting the proportion of local Texas people.

These new immigrants came for the good life of the Eagle Sauce.

If Texas splits from the Eagle Sauce territory, the kind of life they longed for before will be destroyed.

After all, the Eagle Sauce government did not hesitate to go to war with the more powerful Southern Federal Government in order to maintain the unity of the motherland.

Texas is independent this time, and the Eagle Sauce government is even less likely to sit idly by.

So their declaration of independence means the coming of war!

Therefore, Ridgway believes that as long as he can implement the will of the Eagle Sauce government, he can keep most of the people in Texas away from Anthony and his gang, isolate them, and make it easier for the US military to end the battle!

Since the beginning of January, residents of the state have received a large number of propaganda broadcasts one after another.

The content of these broadcast propaganda is mainly a carrot and stick strategy of both hard and soft!

The soft side is to persuade people with emotion, and to promote Texas as a part of the Eagle Sauce in theory, and to use data to show that Texas residents have a large number of relatives and friends in other states of the Eagle Sauce. Economic trade and other methods prove that Texas cannot do without the Eagle Sauce!

“Fellow citizens, 85% of Texas’ oil is exported to the federal government, and there are as many as 1 million Texas workers in oil and gas companies. If the state becomes independent, who will sell the oil and gas to? If these resources cannot be sold, how will those workers earn money to support their families?”

“Anthony and other gangs are trying to split the country for their own personal interests, but they have implicated innocent people like you. The government will not allow the split, so this will inevitably lead to a war between Texas and the government. The war is ruthless. Once the war starts, it will continue to destroy many families and cause many people to die in the war.

You don’t want your husband, son and father to die in the war, right?

So please put down your weapons and don’t make unnecessary resistance. We promise not to harm innocent civilians. As long as you don’t resist, there will be no danger!”

I have to say that these propaganda words are really deeply rooted in people’s hearts. No one likes war, unless they are warmongers!

War is a huge disaster for civilians, especially a war that happens around them. Maybe a bullet or a flying shell can take a person’s life.

Moreover, war will lead to the depression of agriculture, commerce and all economic activities. Factories will be destroyed, farmland will be burned, workers will lose their jobs and income, and then they will go hungry. Farmers will lose their output and cannot use crops to earn money to buy daily necessities. Everyone will live in hardship because of the war! The

Eagle Sauce people once experienced this kind of thing during the Civil War, especially the southern states that suffered more serious damage from the war.

Therefore, many people don’t want to fight this war from the bottom of their hearts when they think of the horror of war!

After the soft side was finished, the radio began to promote the tough side!

“Fellow countrymen, I know that many people are optimistic and think that Anthony and his gang are strong and have the support of the German army, so Texas may not lose in the war.

I admit that this possibility exists, but the American government still won the Civil War under such difficult circumstances.

Our determination to maintain national unity is unwavering.

We will never allow Texas to be independent.

As long as Texas insists on independence, the war will not stop.

The addition of the German army will only make the war in Texas more cruel and the casualties will become greater.

The southern states have already faced huge destruction in the civil war.

If the war comes again, the destruction this time will inevitably be greater than before!

Therefore, I hope everyone will abandon fantasy, recognize reality, and don’t make wrong choices, because such a choice may very likely affect the life and death of every person and every family!”

Ridgway’s fishing boat propaganda soon achieved results. After hearing about the arrival of the US military, many Texas residents near the Neva region took the initiative to come to them and expressed their willingness to lead them.

Texas is a large state, and the soldiers from the north are not familiar with the local terrain. If there are really local people as guides, this is obviously very good news for them.

Ridgway had no reason to refuse these people, so under the leadership of these people, the US military began to move south rapidly, heading towards the southern part of Texas.

Faced with the impending Northern Army, the rednecks in Texas were obviously a little panicked!
