Chapter 2287 – 2287. God’S Atlantis
The citizens of the American civilization were proud of their civilization.
Capitalism.
Less than half of American citizens understood exactly what it was. But they knew that money was everything. They realized it in life before they learned it in school. It wasn’t a bad thing.
The citizens of the American civilization relatively easily accessed information about foreign civilizations through merchants who traveled around and weekly newspapers.
Great Britain, a civilization on a western island. It was the country that American citizens were most wary of. It was on par with the United States economically, culturally, and militarily.
The Aztec Empire to the south. Americans both ignored and feared the Aztecs. But the land of the Aztecs was so tempting that it made their mouths water. If developed, they could obtain many resources.
The Ultra-American civilization in the far south. It was a civilization with a similar name, but there was no information about it, perhaps because of the distance. What was certain was that it was a world where women, not men, were the leaders. American citizens had a strange fantasy about Ultra-America.
The Soviet civilization in the cold north. American citizens hated and were hostile to the Soviets. For Americans, the Soviets had been an enemy for 150 years. However, they had maintained peace recently since they had signed a non-aggression pact 70 years ago, but the moment the non-aggression pact ended, they would point their swords at each other.
The citizens of Washington, the capital of the United States, clicked their tongues as they watched the carriages speeding down the road.
“They’re really overworking those horses. It looks like a merchant’s carriage. Why are they doing that?”
“The Aztecs became a colony of Ultra-America, and their economy has declined. Especially the merchants who traded with the Aztecs are having a hard time. They’re just struggling to survive.”
“The Aztecs have fallen into a colony… I envy Ultra-America. I heard there are so many resources coming out of the Aztec.”
“I heard there are a lot of mines. There are even rumors that there are more than 10 gold mines. It’s a land of gold. A land of gold. A land of gold held by uncivilized cannibals.”
“I don’t know why the Quick Pioneer made a non-aggression pact with the Aztecs.”
“It’s because of the Soviets. If we carelessly take away military power, the Soviets might stab us in the back. And you, if you’re so sorry, why don’t you join the army?”
They glanced at a poster on the wall. There was an Uncle Sam poster that read, ‘I want you!’
“Soldier? Such a dangerous and difficult job doesn’t suit me. I like my current life as a worker.”
“Haha. That’s right. Well, let’s go back to the factory. If we’re too late, the foreman will go crazy again.”
They returned to the factory.
It wasn’t a factory that ran industrial-era machines. They didn’t have the complex technology to make complex machines. Their factory was a wood production factory. There was a river next to the factory, so they used the power of the waterwheel to easily process large trees. However, human hands were essential for delicate work.
Inside the factory, workers were carrying out their respective tasks. David’s job was to sand the wood. He was working while inhaling sawdust again today. The stern-faced foreman looked around the factory and went outside. It was certain that he was going to a nearby bar. Only then did the workers, who had been concentrating on their work, open their mouths.
“Did you know that Oliver died a week ago after being crushed by a log?”
“It was a sad thing.”
“Oliver’s family sued the foreman. They asked for compensation and an apology. I heard the foreman gave them $10. He didn’t even apologize. That’s why the family sued the foreman.”
“What? $10? That’s not even half of the monthly salary. Is that bastard going to jail?”
“No. The trial ended with the foreman’s acquittal. He spent $500 to hire a lawyer. He could have given half of that to Oliver’s family and just apologized.”
“…Damn it. That bastard sees us as black slaves. We’re white and we’re workers.”
“That’s how all the bourgeois bastards are.”
“Bourgeois? What’s that?”
“Ah. You don’t know?”
The colleague looked around and handed David a red book he had taken from his pocket.
“Try reading it. It’s a pretty interesting book.”
“I don’t like books. The last book I read was a textbook 20 years ago in school.”
“Everyone else has read it except you. Isn’t that right, friends?”
The workers around them nodded.
“If you’re a worker, you should definitely read it.”
“Damn it. Those bourgeois bastards. They’re really fucking annoying.”
“What’s the point of capitalism? The ones who actually make money aren’t workers like us, but bourgeois bastards.”
The workers all cursed the bourgeois. David nodded at their enthusiasm. He couldn’t be left behind like this. As soon as he got off work, he would go home and read this red book.
David arrived home only after it was dark. He was furious when he saw his wife, Matilda, dozing off in a chair. His hand, hardened by labor, slapped Matilda’s cheek.
“Kyaaaaak!”
“You fucking bitch! Your husband comes home after working all day, and you, my wife, are just sleeping at home?!”
“I, I just dozed off for a moment…”
“Shut up and bring me bread and alcohol!”
“Th, there’s no alcohol.”
“What?”
“I couldn’t get it because I don’t have any money.”
“Damn it, really.”
David beat his wife, ate the bread on the table roughly, and went into the room. Of course, he didn’t forget to curse Matilda.
“A woman who can’t even have a child is useless. A parasite.”
He clicked his tongue, holding the red book in his hand.
“Waaah!”
Matilda sat down on the floor and burst into tears. Until a few years ago, they were a happy family. But after Matilda had a miscarriage and became unable to get pregnant, her husband David had changed.
After crying for a long time, she took out a purple book from her pocket. It was a book that Jenny from next door had given her to read. She had read this book during the day and quickly became immersed in it. She turned the purple cover with trembling hands.
-Women can do everything.
-Humans were born from women.
-The feminist movement is about enduring the pain of contradiction.
-Ultra-America is a country for women. In Ultra-America, women are not ignored. All the leaders of society are women. Men are just slaves for women.
Matilda was immersed in the purple book. The country of Ultra-America was a country full of dreams and hopes.

The women of Ultra-America laughed at the red book.
“Workers? It’s obvious that it only refers to men.”
“I heard it’s a book from the north of America. Is it called the Soviet? They treat women like livestock there.”
“Shouldn’t we save the women who are suffering there?”
“We need to inform the Dongtan Women’s Council and save the women who are suffering from the Soviet men!”
“…I heard that war is impossible because it’s too far from the Soviet.”
“What? Those council bitches. Women are suffering, and that distance is a problem?!”
“Instead, they’re giving them asylum in the United States. There are women suffering in the United States too, so we have to go and help the American women.”
“That’s right. For a world for women! Feminist warriors, gather!”
The feminists with a great mission voluntarily defected and crossed over to the United States. They were shocked by the American civilization.
“You’re marrying a slave man? And the slave is the head of the household?!”
“There’s a council in the United States too. They vote to elect them… But why don’t women have the right to vote?”
“It’s a really uncivilized civilization.”
The defected feminist warriors walked the streets. Their muscular bodies and confident strides caught the attention of American citizens. Especially the men whistled at the women of Ultra-America.
“Oh. Look at those women. Their muscles are harder than yours.”
“I’ve never done it with muscle women like that… I wonder what it tastes like.”
Workers in work clothes approached the feminist warriors. A woman with muscles all over her body? After all, a woman was just a woman.
“Ladies. Is this your first time in this city? Shall we show you around?”
“Show us around? Then thank you.”
The feminists smiled. It seemed like they would get to taste some man’s dick after a long time. They were invited to the men’s houses, where they raped the men.
“You bastard! Make your dick harder!”
“P, please save me. Please! I can’t even get it up anymore!”
“If you don’t get your dick up in 10 seconds, I’ll kill you!”
“Aaaaaaah!”
“Are you trying to run away? You don’t know your place! I’ll show you your place!”

The leader of the American civilization, the Quick Pioneer, John Coleman, felt like he was going crazy these days.
From one day, the communists started gathering and protesting, talking about workers’ rights. It was definitely a trick by the Soviets. The problem was that the protests were getting more and more intense, and the feminists were also gathering to protest.
‘This isn’t the America I wanted!’
Even though war hadn’t broken out, time skip wasn’t progressing. John Coleman could easily guess the reason.
‘It’s because my life is in danger. The protesters are determined to kill me. If I make a mistake, it’s a guillotine ending.’
John tore at his hair. He understood the workers’ complaints. They wanted wages and welfare that matched their labor. But that wasn’t easy. John only presented the big direction of the civilization and couldn’t manage the details. He didn’t have time for that. Time was skipped.
‘I introduced capitalism too quickly.’
Those who have more, have more. That was a given in a capitalist country.
‘It’s a problem that those who have are exploiting those who don’t. The law should protect the workers… but the judiciary isn’t functioning properly. It’s corrupt. Those who have are on the side of those who have.’
It also took time to sweep away the judiciary and revise the law. It was something he couldn’t do right now.
‘I never thought feminism would break out here. Damn it. It’s clear that Ultra-America is behind this.’
He knew that there was widespread gender discrimination in American civilization. It couldn’t be helped. It was natural that men were physically superior to women. Since the United States hadn’t even entered the medieval era yet, the issue of gender discrimination was overlooked. He planned to fix it someday. But the problem had broken out.
“We are not slaves! We are workers! Guarantee workers’ rights!”
“We are not livestock! We are women! We are human beings like men! Guarantee women’s rights!”
The shouts of the protesters could be heard through the window. He couldn’t help but hear them since thousands of people were shouting and protesting.
‘Thousands of people have gathered, which means there are supplies to sustain them. The Soviets and Ultra-America must be supporting them. They’ll pretend they don’t know even if I protest… I’m really going crazy.’
Just when John was trying to figure out a solution.
Bang!
There was an explosion at the front gate of the White House.
