The Second American Revolution - The Building of an Empire Page 33

  Then President Davis trotted towards his dad’s desk to the Whitehouse’s Oval Office.

  As Aric approached the desk, he lightly patted the head of a carved lion that jutted out from the side. This desk was his father’s favorite, and a former possession of Hugo Chavez, and even a Czar from Russia.

  Aric loved the hand-carved lions and banners, and the dark-green velvet top. As a kid, his father let him sit behind this desk on his lap while he pretended he was a ruler. Now, he had become the new ruler of the American Empire.

  Aric already sent the military to conquer the last two South American countries: Chile and Argentina. They were easy pickings, just like his father said. They fell within hours of the invasion if you can call it that. As the armies strolled onshore, the people celebrated in the streets with parades and parties.

  Aric kept his dad’s staff and professionals. They were experts at annexing and developing invaded countries, turning it into an art form. After each conquest, the Empire added millions of more citizens while the Empire’s military became larger, creating more jobs and redeveloping the large Latin cities. The Empire constructed new housing, government buildings, schools, highways, and dams.

  However, President Aric Davis wanted history to record him as a great conqueror like his father. His picture would lie across the page in history books from his dad, recorded as a great ruler and doubled the size of the American Empire.

  Aric unrolled a map of the world, sprawling across the whole surface of the desk. His finger slid over the map, searching for new conquests.

  Aric settled on Africa, a continent brimming with natural resources and minerals. However, violence and civil wars plagued Africa for the last century. Annexing Argentina and Chile, he would send the Empire’s military across the Atlantic Ocean to Nigeria and South Africa.

  The Empire would pursue Nigeria’s petroleum and South Africa’s gold and diamond mines. Then Aric would spend his remaining life conquering and developing Africa, forming new rich states of the American Empire.

  Afterwards, he would send the armies to the Middle East, seizing their petroleum. In time, the Empire would own the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

  After that, who knew? If Aric marries and has a son, his son would lead the Empire’s armies north into Europe. Europe would make a fine addition to the American Empire. Since many Americans’ roots originate from both Africa and Europe, the powerful son would return home to take care of their aging, ailing parents.
