Kang Lei Ding observed the food rationing process. He was pleased at how smooth it was going. People showed their ID cards and got their weekly allotment of food. No more going to the grocery store or supermarket. No more choosing one brand over another. Just efficient distribution of goods. Yes, he was very happy.
Now he could turn his attention to the rural areas. He did not want to sanitize the people, he wanted to bring them inline with the will of the Emperor. To do this he would need a plan. Propaganda was not working.This perplexed him. It had always worked in the past in other countries, why was America so different?
He needed to learn more about those people, why could they not see reason? Why would they not fall in line? Why was the drudgery of capitalism that appealing to them? He needed to get answers and the best way to get them would be to ask the couple that lived among them. Yes, that should work quite nicely.
As he was thinking there was a large explosion just outside the building his office was in. He ran outside to see an electric car had exploded. What could cause that? He wondered out loud. He watched as fire fighters began working on extinguishing the blaze.
He got an idea. It was brilliant, he thought. Let’s blame this on rural terrorism. If he got people to fear these rural savages it could make his job of bringing them into a more civilized lifestyle.
He ordered his subordinates to bring the couple to his office at their convenience. He did not wish to interrupt their work, after all being efficient was a hallmark of the Emperor and the new government. As he was working someone knocked on his door and entered his office.
He knew who the man was by reputation and was afraid for his life. “Hello, Kang Lei Ding. The Emperor is pleased with your work to date. Tell me of your plans going forward so I may be the eyes of most worthiness. Your request for a concubine is approved, the preacher woman is yours by the will of the Emperor. Use her as you wish.”
Kang Lei Ding told him “I am gathering intelligence on the mindset of the rural people. I am planning to lead them gently into line, a little here and a little there. The hardline approach will not work with these obstinate people. They are fiercely proud and independent. I plan to use that against them.”
The man smiled and told him “I look forward to your next report of victory.” he turned and walked out. Kang Lei Ding let out a sigh of relief. He truly felt his usefulness to the Emperor was in question.

Ray led Gordon into a part of his shop that was not in the building plans. Opening his safe he removed two long gun cases and two pistol cases and sat them on a table. “Gordon, I got these in a person to person transaction years ago and have been holding them for the twins. Each one gets a .410 pump shotgun and a .22 pistol with four extra mags with carriers and holsters . I am also sending you home a bunch of .410 ammo, a reloading kit with components. Just forget where this stuff came from. Take care of my nieces and marry my sister. It is written that it is not good for man to be alone and both of you have been alone for far too long.” Gordon and Ray loaded everything up and then they left for home.
Gordon was wrestling with a lot of questions about his relationship with God and Rhonda and the kids. He did care a great deal for Rhonda and he adored the twins. Ray telling him to marry Rhonda was a little different for him. Besides, how would he know if she wanted to marry him? That was a question for another day right now he needed to get this stuff home and stored. His job after that would be getting the girls checked out on their new weapons.
Gordon turned on the radio to get the latest propaganda from this world Emperor. “Subjects of the Emperor, we are pleased to announce that the reception of the new foods has gone well and the next stage of building our new civilization can begin. Many of you have worried about the long commute to and from your jobs. The Emperor has found a solution. Citizens will now be assigned jobs within walking distance of their homes. Some citizens will be relocated and others will be given new employment. Wages will be equalized and everyone will receive the same rewards no matter where they work or what job they will be doing. This is being implemented in the cities starting tomorrow.”
Rhonda observed “This is happening way too fast. They must have been planning it for years. I think this has been in the works for decades.” Gordon replied “Yeah, we are behind the eight ball. First it’s the cities and soon we will be next. It doesn’t matter if you paid for your property and built a life for yourself. It’s all about some imaginary fairness. We really need to make some plans.”
As they pulled into their drive the sheriff and Wylvin were waiting for them. “Have you heard the latest?” Wylvin asked. ”Yeah, we heard it seems that our new government is locking everyone down.” Jake said “That is just the beginning. We have been branded rural terrorists and will be gently led into the will of this so-called Emperor, at the point of a gun.”

“The question is what do we do about it?” asked Gordon Wylvin had a canary that ate the cat smile on his face and said “We are not going to be here, my fellow operatives have made plans for taking back our country and constitutional government. We must strike quickly for any chance of success. Our job is to deal with the enemy that is coming here. Others will deal with the enemy elsewhere.”
Jake asked him “How are we supposed to do that?” Wylvin laid out his plan “We will employ short jabs. I have people coming in with anti tank weapons and some other party favors. Our best bet is to take them out along the road a few at a time. We won’t have a problem with aircraft because we have the Air National Guard on our side and they will take out what few aircraft they will have left after our saboteurs get done.”
Gordon asked “Are there any plans for removing the Emperor?” Wlyvin told them “That is a special surprise. He will be handled by some experts. For now we must move all noncombatants out of the area. I have no desire to see innocent people harmed.”
“So where are we moving these people too?” asked Jake. “My people have established some underground shelters in the Hiawatha National Forest. There should be more than enough supplies to outlast the operation. After the enemy is defeated they can come home and America can begin rebuilding.”
Gordon wondered how he could sell this idea to Rhonda and the twins without scaring them to death. The answer hit him like a freight train. Tell them it is a camping trip to a special campground. Yes, he thought that should work.
As Gordon was thinking, Wylvin's phone rang. When he answered it, he turned to the men and said the operation had begun. Let’s move our people out to safety.”
The townspeople were notified and began packing for their little vacation trip. While this was happening the fighters prepared to answer the call to arms. This invasion and treason was about to come to an end. Gordon had one thing to do before the girls left. He got Rhonda alone and asked her “Rhonda, will you marry me?” Rhonda being the practical woman that she was, said “Yes” without hesitation.
While this was going on a convoy of military trucks showed up and parked in Gordon's drive way. A rough looking man stepped out and told Wylvin “We’re hare just like you asked when does the party start. We got party favors for everyone!”
Wylvin told nim “As soon as I heard about granny bringing in the chicken from the coop. It won’t be long now. Be patient Sergeant Major. You and your men will get their turn at bat.”

The Virginia class submarine spotted her target. Namely the Emperor’s private yacht. They tracked the yacht for two more days before commencing the operation to apprehend the Emperor and all aboard. That night they surfaced and launched a boarding party.
The boarding party consisted of a mix of Navy, Marine and Coastguard people due to the current political situation. Many of these were retired and came back during the current crisis. They were able to board the ship without trouble due to the high level of alcohol and recreational pharmaceuticals consumed by the Emperor’s crew and guests. People were being cuffed and made ready for transport to an undisclosed location.
The marine commander sent a message “Granny is bringing in the chicken from the coop.” The message would be relayed to commands as they needed to know. The Submarine traveled for a week until they reached the exchange point where the prisoners were handed over to the marine Guards of the Gerald R. Ford class carrier. All the prisoners were making rather vile threats but the only response they got was laughter from the crew.
They did have one visitor, a man in a black suit and sunglasses asked several questions of him none of them pleasant. By the time he was done he had a long list of people involved in this debacle. There were captains of industry, clergy, politicians, social media influencers, activists of all sorts. This mess would take years to sort out and many people would suffer.
Back at Pine Corners people were preparing for three things. The first one was the bugout and the second one was Gordon and Rhonda getting married. Gordon determined that his best move would be to let the women handle things while he would do everything in his power to make the day special for her.
Gordon was loading some “special ammunition” so he could show “proper hospitality” to the “guests” that would arrive soon. He turned some bullets on his small lathe, weighed them and loaded them. As far as he knew this was not legal. He also knew he did not care. He was actually quite happy to be doing this.
He just finished the last round when he got word from Ray to get to the church. It was time for his new ball and chain. He thought “So soon?” but got cleaned up and reported to the church.

The church looked like a typical country church. White clapboard siding a steeple with a working bell and a front entrance with ramp and stairs for people with mobility issues. The women had gone all out in their decorations. The parking lot was full and Gordon parked his truck. He was met by Ray and Jimmy. “Are you sure about this brother? Marrying a woman with two daughters is a rough lot.” Before Gordon could get a word out Ray chimed in “He’s sure, it’s not like he can get out of it now.” The three men laughed as they entered the church.
As the ceremony started the two front doors of the church swung open and a group of people entered carrying clubs and other improvised weapons. The “leader” shouted “We are here to rescue the oppressed person being forced into marriage by the patriarchy.” “You thugs should know better by now” Rhonda stated as she pulled her concealed pistol and shot the lead thug right between the eyes.
The rest of the wedding party was no less armed and began taking out the trash. Gordon insisted that one be left alive to experience Wylvin’s tender mercy, not that he had any for these guys. Amber and Andrea had stood by but now Amber chimed “Hey, you freaks wanted to ruin Mommy Daddy’s special day.” Andrea followed with “You freaks tried to kill our new daddy. That makes us very angry.” they both said in unison as if rehearsed “When our uncle arrives you will regret being born.”
The twins described in graphic detail what the future held in store for them. Amber said “Uncle will start at your feet and do a 12 gauge amputation for every answer he does not like.” Andrea added “He will make several cuts and drip in jalapeno sauce.” Amber took over and told him “Next he will cut into your chest and pour salt in the wound.” Rhonda spoke up “That’s enough girls we don’t want to give away all of the fun things they will experience with uncle.” The girls obeyed their mother and stopped their mental torture. Gordon wondered what he was getting himself into.
The rest of the wedding went off without interruption or problem. After everything was done he heard some of the older men talking. “This was the best wedding ever, not only did we see a new family made but we got some target practice in.” Another added “I can’t wait to see what they do over Christmas.” the men laughed.
The Sergeant Major pulled in and had several others in custody. “Well, looks like you folks have had some company.” The men began to compare notes and concluded that there was a mole problem.

The people of Pine Corners began their evacuation in preparation for the invasion. Rhonda packed her “Trauma kit” and told the girls “Only take what you need, we should only be gone for a few days. While the girls were packing Gordon pulled Rhonda aside and asked “How did the girls get to be so psycho at the church?”
Rhonda replied “You can blame that on a school bully and the school and legal system that refused to protect them. Ray got enough and took matters into his own hands. He taught the girls self defense, intimidation psychology as well as how and when to shoot in combat. One day the bully started in on them and the girl’s used a couple of ball bats on him. The school took the side of the bully and the girl’s employed the mental torture methods they learned on the teachers.” Gordon was shocked and angered that someone let those girls be hurt.
“So, what happened next?” Gordon asked. “They got suspended and had to see some woke psychologist who wasn’t worth what the school was paying him. Things didn’t change until Ray called in some favors from people who had enough drag to do something.” Gordon was not really surprised schools almost always punished the victims instead of the bullies. He came to it in his mind that if anyone ever thought of being mean to his girl’s there would be gallons of blood shed.
Gordon had made up his mind “Girl’s come out here when you finish packing. I have something for you.” he walked to the gun safe and removed the .410 shotguns and .22 caliber pistols. The girls came in all smiles "We're here new daddy.” he told them "I want you to be armed at all times from now on. So you each get a pistol and a shotgun that you used at the range the other day. We don’t know what the enemy can or will do and it seems someone is rating us out. So we will be armed at all times.
The twins checked their weapons and made them ready for use. The pistols were on their belts in holsters. Amber and Andrea were only nine years old but their firearm safety skills were impeccable. With the pistols on their hips and spare magazines in the carriers they were able to protect themselves. The shotguns were loaded with alternating slugs and buckshot.
Deputy Sarah Hodge had a standing invitation to enter the house whenever there was an urgent message. Now was such a time. She played back a message from Wylvin “Gordon and family, I am sending you some help in the form of a rather large soldier. She goes by the name of Battle Axe. you will understand why when you see her. Please allow her to help in the upcoming battle.”
A few minutes later a Humvee pulled into the drive and a lady stepped out “Hello Smith family my name is Henrietta Battle Axe and I have been sent to help you utterly annihilate the enemy.” Not only did she have an AR based rifle and a very large side arm she did indeed carry the biggest battle Axe that she could carry. Rhonda whispered in Gordon’s ear, "Is she really a woman?” Gordon was not sure himself.

Gordon invited Henrietta into the house. ”I know what you are thinking and I am a real girl despite my size and build. You see, I had a birth defect that made me grow like mad. Instead of whining and crying about it I embraced it. Probably why I never got married, I am a bit intimidating. When I turned 18 I enlisted in the army and was assigned to the infantry. It didn’t take long until I was given the order of the boot due to potential health problems due to my size. That is when Wylvin took me into his service. Since then I have helped him all over the world. Now he has assigned me to help protect your family.”
Gordon would have to thank Wylvin later. He knew that he needed all the shooters he could get. They had a few hours before the evacuation was to begin. So Gordon spent his time at the reloading bench he wanted to make sure the girl’s had enough ammo for their weapons. One of the things that Ray had sent home with him was a handloader tool for .410 shotshell and lots of components. He loaded up as much as he could in the time he had before the three girls would leave.
Gordon asked Henrietta “How did you get the idea for carrying a battle axe, if I may ask?” Henrietta answered him “My foster family are gaming nerds and we played a lot of tabletop roleplaying games so it just seemed natural to have one. You would think in this age of full auto weapons it would be an anachronism but my battle record would show otherwise.”
As Rhonda served tea and cookies she told Henrietta 'You are part of our family now and you will never be alone again.’ While the adults enjoyed tea and cookies, the twins were busy with packing what they needed for the evacuation.
They arrived at the designated place and Gordon got the girls settled in. The shelter was best described as a manmade series of tunnels and caves. It looked to Gordon that the builders used whatever materials were at hand in its construction. He thought “It may not be pretty but it’s stout.”
While the girls were playing a game with the other kids Gordon went to find Wylvan and get the battle plan. He found him talking with his assistant. “Hey Wylvin, what’s the plan” he asked? Wylvan replied “We will take a page from history and harass them along the road just like in the American Revolution. I have it on good authority that they will come in two waves. The first wave is made up of street gangs mostly armed with Glocks and AK-47’s. The second wave are supposed to be Chinese soldiers, they will be harder to deal with but not impossible.” The fighting force prepared to move out.

Things got a lot of crazy around here. Some idiot young doctor darn neared killed my friend's little girl. I watched their other children while the little one was getting fixed up here is a new chapter.
Kang Lei Ding received a call from the unnamed man. The enemy had been kidnapped and would be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The man simply said “Thin out the number of useless eaters.” Kang Lei Ding did not hesitate to obey. He placed several calls to waiting death squads and left his office.
On the roof a helicopter waited to take him out of the city to a secure location where he would be safe. He left instructions for his concubines to join him there. None of them would make it. Once the helicopter was out of town it was shot down. It seems civilian helicopters are no match for air to air missiles.
In the city Kang Lei Ding’s people were meeting little resistance from the woke crowd that had welcomed them early on. There were however still some people who were resisting using whatever firearms and improvised weapons they could scrape together.
Something rather strange happened next: seven men rolled out what appeared to be a cannon and fired canister shots at the invaders. This proved to be very effective against what amounted to uniformed thugs with AK 47’s and AK 74’s. The enemy suddenly began losing.
The cannon crew was soon joined by men dressed in uniforms of a different time. Each carrying a flintlock rifle. A voice commanded “FIRST RANK, MAKE READY!” in a clear and certain tone. Three ranks formed just as in the days of old “TAKE AIM!” came the next command followed by the order of “FIRE!” The patriots fired and the enemy stammered in confusion. The Next command the enemy heard was “SECOND RANK, MAKE READY!” At this point the enemy dropped their arms and surrendered, they all needed clean pants.
Across town more of the enemy and traitors were confronted by the men and women from the VFW and American Legion halls. The enemy stood no chance as the patriots unleashed with M1 Garands and every kind of small arm. The message sent this day was DO NOT MESS WITH FREE PEOPLE. This was a scene repeated in most states.
Back in pine creek no one knew what was happening elsewhere. They were concerned about what was coming to them.

While this was happening, Washington, District of Crime was seeing an exodus of elected officials up to and including President Burden. They boarded armored limos and headed for the airport. Little did they know that they were being tracked by Patriot forces. Each limo had not only a tracking device but a listening device as well. Soon they would get the shock of their elitist lives. That is if they saw it coming at all.
The airport had customized 747’s waiting for the traitors. Like the limo’s the 747’s had tracking devices and listening devices as well as one other very special feature. It is a sure bet that none of the traitors would like it.
The traitor politicians talked about their plans, it seems they had bribed and or purchased a certain Communist South American Country. The plan was they would take over most of South America using US taxpayers money.
Back in Michigan Wylvin looked up the twins. He had a little project for them. “Girls, I need you to talk on the radio to some traitors that are leaving the country. I want them to know how much we disapprove of that and that they will not escape." The girls were more than willing to help Wylvin with his plan.
Wylvin sat the girls in front of the radio with an outline and the girls went to town with it. “Dear traitorous scum. We know where you are and their no escape from our wrath. Surrender now and you get to rot in a nasty prison cell and become roommates with Rollo the mad dog serial killer. If you don't surrender, certain flaming death awaits you. Make your choice.”
A certain female leftist Senator needed a change of pants while the technicians tried to figure out how two little girls tapped into the aircrafts secure communications. The twins' response just never ended.
“Hey, President Burden, you cheated to get into office and now the bill has come due. look out the window and maybe you will get a glimpse of the fighter jets that will send you to the smoking section of the grave. Where you will burn, burn, burn, burn, burn for all eternity.”
The vice president sat in her seat crying. Unlike her boss she believed what the voices were saying. She knew the bill was due and there was no way to pay it. She looked out the window and saw her impending doom. This led to her having a psychotic break with reality. They never knew that two F-35 fighters had locked on to them and fired their air to air missiles. Wylvin received a report that all the traitors' aircraft had been destroyed. Wylvin reminded everyone the enemy was not yet done.
