War is Good for Profit

Plot
As Milo and Trademaster are traveling through California to invite the cities there to join the new US, they hear reports of the cartels coming up from Mexico into Southern California. The cartels are led by Kaleb Brewer, an American taking advantage of the lack of authorities to commit all the crimes he wanted.

As the state of California joins the US, they bring down the army, by now a couple thousand strong, to fight the cartels. As the fight gets worse, they are saved by the brand new US Navy, led by Admiral X and the USS Portland, who bombard the cartel from off the coast. The cartel retreats to fight another day.
