I, transformed into a vampire girl, sparked the Industrial Revolution.

Chapter 275 The Divided Nations

“Inside Colombia, it has actually reached its limit. Since Colombia was built on the ruins of the civil war, the country has ushered in its first glory.”

"But just look at those glories, look at the rubble beneath, look at New Town, Ferra del Fia, District of Columbia, look at the workers under those reinforced concrete skyscrapers."

"In Colombia, 95 percent of the wealth is owned by 4 percent of the population—multinational corporations, mega-corporations...they control our wealth on Wall Street in Xinxiang!"

The United States of Colombia spans a vast territory from west to east. This enormous nation was built on bloodshed. Although the Continental Army, led by indigenous people, won the Colombian War, the industrial strength of the coastal colonies dragged the country into rapid capitalist industrialization.

The Colombian elven tribes, originally organized in tribal units, rapidly disintegrated. The elves moved into cities, becoming fuel for factories. Several large cities were established in the west, central, and east. Amelansi's advanced exploration technology led them to discover abundant and vast resources beneath their feet, from oil to minerals, from the central plains to the corn and soybean belt... A decade of golden development made Colombia the Promised Land. However, when domestic and international markets became saturated, and when the Old World was busy dividing up markets and splitting profits, Colombia failed to do so.

The Confederate States of Texas in the south is traditional and warlike, while Canata in the north has a cold climate and a sparse population. Columbia has built a vast industrial zone, but as the global market gradually becomes saturated, industrial profits are declining year by year.

Should we maintain the status quo or expand outwards?

Should we break the chains or uphold tradition?

Colombia is a free country, founded on a fragile covenant from its inception, where people are free to express their opinions and form their own political parties.

Meanwhile, in the Colombian Congress, the old Federalist and Liberal parties are weakening, and the current government's ineffective economic recovery plan is leading Colombia's economy through a painful recovery. People are disappointed with the government, but many still believe that Colombia will recover from the stock market crash on Wall Street three years ago.

But just like the social trends in Colombia, not everyone still places their hopes on this system. The newly emerging Colombian Socialist Party and Colombian Supremacist Party are gaining more and more support. These two emerging forces represent two extremes, two societies, and two worlds, and they are incompatible.

The United States is being torn apart. The treatment of workers, the future of the nation, the direction of society... The United States is waiting for an answer, and perhaps, this answer will exceed everyone's expectations.

Alice summarized Colombia, once known as the "City on the Hill," the most developed country in the Old World. Although its industrial strength was inferior to that of Almería, Buría, and De Horan, it was still a powerful nation.

Alice saw both crisis and opportunity. Sometime later, she took out a small notebook and quietly began writing something.

The crew of the USS Chicago were transferred to a secret facility, which Alice predicted would plunge Columbia into the brink of civil war when the Great Collapse occurred.

At that time, they will have the opportunity to intervene in the transformation of this vast country.

Sogra Carter stood by the window, feeling that he might be one of the few outsiders allowed into this vast city. As a Colombian, he originally came from Tuscany, but his family, like many others, had moved to Colombia after Burnia's invasion of Northern Tuscany several years earlier.

He became a dockworker, later joined a trade union, and then came into contact with syndicalism. He swore an oath to join the Colombian Socialist Party and participated in the Ferra del Fía workers' movement on several occasions.

This time... he did not expect that he and his comrades would storm the warship, nor did he expect that they would escape alive and arrive here.

They were disarmed and brought here. The room was spacious and bright, unlike a prison cell, with clean water and even electrical appliances. But they were blocked by a wall, and he saw many armed men patrolling.

Perhaps this is a prison? Or perhaps it's just a necessary measure?

He wasn't sure.

But in any case, he will face it with equanimity—this movement, in which they fought for their fellow workers and dealt a heavy blow to the capitalist authorities.

Comrade Jack Reed and the Party will be proud of them. Sogra Carter thought, clenching his fist, "Columbia will become the home of all workers in their hands."

Alice had much more to think about. Just a week later, while the ship was still anchored, a Colombian delegation arrived aboard a destroyer. The delegation, dressed in suits, demanded "direct dialogue with the top management of the Universal Star Group to discuss the repatriation of the wanted criminal and the return of the United States Navy asset."

That's right, all of this was pushed onto Alice. The council of leaders unanimously voted "no decision" in the online poll, leaving the problem to Alice.

"This is indeed a troublesome problem!"

Alice looked at her past experiences; a certain writer in Amelia even wrote a biography for her, but the opening paragraph, "........Alice de la Leah was the only daughter of Alicia de la Leah.........", was obviously fabricated.

"Hmm~ Let Alice think about it. How about letting them visit some places first, and drag it out for a week?"

Alice told the head of human resources, Madheiko, via VoIP that she would show these people around first, and as for negotiations? They could talk about it in a week.

"Of course, we have low-density zones, we'll get on it right away."

While the reception team, accompanied by a group of Colombian diplomats in suits and carrying canes, strolled through the garden and even assigned quotas to other employees through Ocas for "accompanying extras in playing, shopping, and dining," Alice stepped out of her newly equipped office, wanting to see the revolutionaries.

After all, in her heart, it would be more rewarding to talk to the rebels than to talk to those lords.
