American Strategic Deception Bureau

　Then, furious, the CIA agents stormed Diem's ​​presidential palace, demanding an explanation. Diem offered no explanation, but instead fiercely threatened the CIA's Saigon station. If the Americans dared to arm the Hmong mountain people of South Vietnam again, or even send General Vang Pao to aid the war, he would dispatch troops to execute both the "mountain barbarians" and the CIA agents, regardless of the reason.

　Such a tough attitude made the CIA confused. Considering that there have been many recent

　The South Vietnamese officers who won victories during the "anti-communist" campaign were dismissed without cause by Diem, while those who passively avoided fighting and watched the Vietcong grow stronger were rewarded and promoted by Diem...

　After a long discussion, the CIA agents at the Saigon station came to an incredible conclusion: Ngo Dinh Diem might have been in contact with the Communists!

　So, the CIA agents and US military advisers, who were scared out of their wits, immediately set out to file a complaint with the agency or the Pentagon.

　On the plane to Tokyo, after listening to the CIA agent's tearful complaints, Dr. Kissinger pondered for a moment and guessed at some of the reasons. He said that Ngo Dinh Diem was probably an extremely selfish individual who loved to take advantage of others. For such an extremely selfish ruler, the army was used to protect his power, not to fight the Viet Cong. As long as he was not forced into a desperate situation, he would be determined to preserve his strength.

　As for fighting the Viet Cong? In Diem's ​​view, that was not his job, but the responsibility of the American boss!

　As long as he is defeated by the Viet Cong like Syngman Rhee of South Korea, the US military will definitely come in to protect him!

　Therefore, Diem would cling to his own army tightly, passively suppress the communists, and wait for the US military to come and fight on his behalf...

　Well, he wanted the United States to pay for his army and squander it, and he also wanted the US military to send troops to help him fight... Who is the father between the United States and South Vietnam?

　Regarding Dr. Kissinger's speculation, everyone on the plane thought for a moment and said that it made sense.

　However, Bill Lyle argues that if this were the case, the CIA's out-of-pocket recruitment of Hmong troops in Bang Nganao to fight for Diem against the Viet Cong would have effectively been a substitute for Diem. Why, instead of embracing the initiative, did Diem forcibly sabotage it, even resorting to using the Viet Cong to annihilate the CIA's painstakingly trained Hmong army?

　Once this news spreads in South Vietnam, how will the CIA find partners in the future?

　"Why did they use the Vietcong to wipe out Bang Ngan's Hmong army? Because Diem was a nationalist!"

　Fili spread his hands. "Whether it was Ngo Dinh Diem or Ho Chi Minh, even if they were ideologically hostile to each other, in terms of blood, they were all Kinh people of Vietnam. And the Vietcong guerrillas who rebelled against the South Vietnamese government were also Kinh people.

　As a nationalist, Ngo Dinh Diem would probably rather hand over Dak Lak Province to the Viet Cong than see the province occupied by the Hmong people!

　Of course, this was not in the best interests of the United States, but we could not change the mind of the South Vietnamese president..."

　After hearing what Fili said, everyone chatting in the cabin seemed to be thinking about something.

　Firi sighed: "South Vietnam's Ngoc regime is neither obedient nor expensive. It lacks the ability to survive independently. It relies on the United States for everything, but it has no self-awareness of being plied by others and still maintains a rebellious and stubborn character..."

　When the White House and the Pentagon run out of their last bit of patience, the death star of this regime will rise, right?

　The history of many of the attractions can be traced back to the Edo period - which makes people sigh that the Tokyo bombing presided over by General LeMay did not seem to burn the city thoroughly enough.

　Of course, overall, postwar Tokyo has long since bid farewell to the past and entered a new era. Looking down from the recently completed Tokyo Tower observation deck, one sees construction sites and scaffolding everywhere, along with gleaming glass walls. It's a modern metropolis brimming with vitality and a sense of the times. Even more so than New York City, it looks newer, more advanced, and even more "sci-fi"...

　No wonder that in 1970, when the Soviet Union was filming a science fiction movie with the theme of "future city", it chose Tokyo as the shooting location.

　Probably at that time, among all the cities in the world, Tokyo had the most advanced and cyberpunk style, right?

　In this way, Miss Marilyn Monroe and her ex-husband DiMaggio, with a large group of followers, sometimes went to the suburbs of Tokyo to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and sometimes spent money in Ginza. They watched the calendar turn from September to October, and from October to November... Miss Monroe, who was bored, even went to the University of Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture to hold two "Japan-US Friendship" concerts respectively, but General LeMay did not come back for a long time.

　Seeing that Blonde Monroe's face was getting uglier and uglier and her temper was getting worse, Dr. Kissinger had to inquire about General LeMay's whereabouts through the embassy. He was then shocked to learn that the hot-tempered General LeMay, after hearing the complaints of Southeast Asian frontline agents such as Bill Lyell in Taiwan, immediately changed his itinerary and boarded a plane to Saigon, intending to settle accounts with the "brain-sick" President Ngo Dinh Diem.

　As a result, the American plane carrying General LeMay had just landed at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Saigon when it was attacked by rockets from the Viet Cong guerrillas, and both the plane and the people were almost blown into a fireball.

　After much difficulty, he finally met with President Ngo Dinh Diem at the Independence Palace, but the talks were extremely unpleasant. Ngo Dinh Diem neither agreed with the political reform proposals of the American think tanks, refused to compromise with other forces in Vietnam, nor agreed with the United States arming the "barbarians" such as the Hmong in South Vietnam to resist the growth of the Viet Cong. Instead, he urged the United States to send troops to South Vietnam as soon as possible, take over the Vietnam War in full, and help him wipe out the Viet Cong and other monsters.

　Just like Syngman Rhee of South Korea back then, even though he was forced to flee Seoul twice by the Communist army, the US military would fight for their lives and fight for him to win back his country twice!

　Therefore, it was the responsibility of the US military to wipe out the Viet Cong, not his responsibility as the president of South Vietnam. He only needed to focus on seizing power and corruption.

　Why wouldn't they send troops to strangle the Vietcong, and why wouldn't they agree to the CIA paying for the Hmong warlords to serve as a bulwark against the Vietcong?

　Because the Americans, like the French, only stayed in Vietnam for a few decades to a hundred years at most. But the Miao people in the mountains have been neighbors with the Kinh people in Vietnam for thousands of years, and they have attacked and killed each other countless times.

　Up to now, both South Vietnam and North Vietnam have been continuously confiscating the Miao people’s land and continuing to “drive the Miao people to expand their business.”

　If the Miao people really want to become powerful, it would be better to hand over the land to the Viet Cong. At least this way we won't betray our nation and will be worthy of our ancestors...

　After understanding Diem's ​​plan, General Curtis LeMay was furious and immediately turned hostile and roared, "Syngman Rhee is in Honolulu, Hawaii! Do you want to be his neighbor?"

　President Ngo Dinh Diem also bluntly said that President Truman was tortured by McCarthy because of the "loss of China". Can President Kennedy today bear the responsibility for "losing South Vietnam"?

　- In fact, in the eyes of many international observers, the successive US governments acted arbitrarily, even disregarding their own social stability, and forcing some very bad people to maintain their rule in South Vietnam. This was really stupid.

　Kennedy had even visited Vietnam as early as 1951 and concluded, based on his own observations, that the Vietcong were destined to seize the country.

　But the problem was that President Eisenhower had already published the "domino theory," drawing a 17th parallel north through central Vietnam.

　This effectively blocked the room for maneuver for subsequent US presidents, making it impossible for them to easily abandon South Vietnam unless they risked their own political lives.

　——American hawks generally believe that the United States has "lost" China before and must not "lose" Southeast Asia again.

　Diem was well aware of this and maintained close ties with hawkish figures in the US, constantly campaigning in the US to demand that the White House increase its investment in Vietnam. This political pressure forced the White House to tearfully send money to South Vietnam: after all, it was the country's money, so it was just given away!

　What’s even more outrageous is that even if the Viet Cong had entered Saigon and destroyed South Vietnam, the losses suffered by the American president would have been greater than those suffered by the South Vietnamese president!

　Because once Saigon fell and the entire Indochina became communist, the US president would be at risk of losing his political career due to public criticism.

　However, Ngo Dinh Diem, the president of South Vietnam, was able to take the millions of family assets he had embezzled, buy properties in the United States, and live a luxurious life of wealth.

　What? As long as Ngo Dinh Diem comes to the United States, the White House can retaliate against him severely?

　What a joke! How can the President of the United States have such great power? This kind of thing is simply impossible!

　President Truman hated the four great families of the Republic of China and publicly vowed to confiscate the Song family and

　All the Kong family's assets in the United States were lost in the end, and even FBI Director Hoover defected. The president was helpless against these two foreign parasites on American soil.

　If Ngo Dinh Diem fled to the United States with a huge sum of money in the future, as long as he didn't do anything too reckless, would President Kennedy be able to do anything to him?

　Since President Kennedy couldn't do anything to Ngo Dinh Diem unless he risked his political life, General Le May was even more helpless.

　Therefore, after the meeting with Ngo Dinh Diem ended in a bad mood and he left the Independence Palace, General Le May had no choice but to bypass the South Vietnamese authorities and order the US Air Force transport aircraft to airdrop a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies to the Wang Bao Miao armed forces in Laos and the Bang En Nao Miao village in Dak Lak Province.

　He then personally went to the South Vietnamese military's General Staff headquarters near Tan Son Nhat Airport and issued a vicious threat. If any South Vietnamese troops dared to go to Bang Nganao in Dak Lak Province and cause trouble for the local Hmong people again, the US agents would kill their commander!

　Well, it is not known whether the above threats were effective. But at least the two air transports were successful and were not intercepted by the South Vietnamese Air Force.

　Then, on October 26, during the South Vietnamese National Day ceremony, Ngo Dinh Diem organized a grand military parade in Saigon, the capital, to show off his military might and invited US troops stationed in Vietnam to participate. General Le May, having received an invitation, reluctantly attended the parade.

　Unexpectedly, as if to slap Ngo Dinh Diem in the face, underground members of the Viet Cong sneaked into the parade site that day and fired RPG rockets at the VIP seats. Two guards also rebelled at this time, shooting at the crowd with their guns, killing several South Vietnamese officials and American advisers on the spot.

　Amidst the chaos, General LeMay, who was in a wheelchair, was shot. Although it was only a scratch, it made him so angry that he almost had a stroke.

　What's even more terrible is that the Viet Cong attack that General LeMay witnessed in Saigon was not just this one. There were terrorist attacks 369 times a day, assassinations and bombings every day: today they blew up American military vehicles, tomorrow they poisoned American military cafeterias, the day after tomorrow they sent frogmen to plant bombs under American warships docked at the pier, or they used time bombs from underground to blow up the hotel building where American military advisers lived, burying American officers and soldiers alive in the rubble (Kiritsugu Emiya gave a thumbs up).

　The most outrageous thing is that the Viet Cong guerrillas actually successfully "bombed the United States" - they installed a time bomb on a Boeing passenger plane, which was detonated after the plane landed in San Francisco, and the passengers who had not yet got off the plane and the ground staff on the runway were blown to pieces on the spot!

　The war in South Vietnam had become so utterly awful that the Vietcong even launched a "counterattack on the United States." Besides the fact that the South Vietnamese authorities were a bunch of cowards, the two highest-ranking American officials in Saigon—the ambassador to Vietnam and the commander of US Forces Vietnam—seemed to be behaving just as cowardly.

　Generally speaking, there are two types of American ambassadors stationed abroad. One type is assigned to "hotspots" such as hostile or troubled countries, where they are constantly on the lookout for unexpected crises. While this carries significant risks, it also offers the potential for success, and these ambassadors are typically experienced career bureaucrats.

　The other type is to be stationed in developed and stable allied countries like the UK and Japan, where they usually don't cause any trouble. However, they also don't achieve any merit and are often used by the president to reward wealthy people who contributed money and effort to his campaign, bestowing them with gilded titles.

　Logically speaking, a war-torn frontline country like South Vietnam should never send a wealthy layman as an ambassador.

　But the problem is that the current US Ambassador to South Vietnam, Nolting, happens to be the latter type. He is a playboy from a wealthy family in Virginia. He has always been conservative and his mind seems to be stuck in the last century. He knows nothing about Asia and has no interest in it.

　Even more outrageous was his extreme negativity. When General LeMay was inspecting South Vietnam, Ambassador Naulding deserted his post and went on vacation to Greece. He is still leisurely drifting on a luxury yacht in the Aegean Sea, and no one knows when he will return to Saigon.

　At the same time, General Paul Huggins, the current commander of the US forces in Vietnam, was also considered a complete insect by General LeMay:

　This guy is not a veteran with solid academic background or someone who has climbed up from the grassroots level and is rich in practical experience. Instead, he is a good-for-nothing prodigal son of a wealthy family in Boston. He dropped out of school before finishing high school and is said to have dyslexia.

　The reason he became a general was simply because he was skilled in equestrianism and was a very good polo player. He often accompanied General Patton in horseback riding.

　During World War II, Paul Huggins, thanks to his family background and horseback riding prowess, was promoted by Patton to deputy chief of staff. He essentially served as a messenger, earning him the nickname "Gun Sweep." He never thought about anything, only implementing Patton's orders with swift and decisive action.

　But now that it was the insect's turn to make his own decisions, General Paul Huggins was no longer so honest, especially not wanting to report bad news to his superiors. Upon arriving in Saigon, he told his subordinates and reporters that he was an "optimist" and liked to see optimists around him. So it was best not to let him hear any bad news, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

　So, under General Hutchinson's instructions, the US military stationed in Vietnam had been lying to the Pentagon about military intelligence, such as fabricating various victory reports out of thin air and trying their best to cover up every defeat, so that the reports from reporters and the CIA's secret intelligence were completely inconsistent.

　It wasn't until General Le May personally flew to Saigon that the conspiracy was completely exposed...

　Oh, I hope he won’t be pissed off to death by these insects?

　Author's Note: PS: What a joke! A US court announced that Biden will not be prosecuted for the crimes of hiding classified documents and stuffing them into a doghouse because of his severe memory and cognitive impairment. This old Biden is clearly mentally ill, yet he's still president? And running for re-election?

　It feels like the first novel I wrote, where officials of a certain country, in order to avoid responsibility, each held a mental illness diagnosis in hand, claiming that "the country is ruled by madmen." The Congress directly hung a sign that read "a mental hospital," and if you wanted to go into politics, you had to go crazy first. At the time, I didn't think this would come true, but it actually did.

　Then, the American media seemed to want to glorify this matter as a real-life version of "Forrest Gump", where even a fool can become president.

　I really don't know what to say about this whitewashing angle. It would be great if we could make a satirical film about "President Forrest Gump"!

　Do you remember the famous line from a movie: "To be successful, go crazy first"?

　Chapter 182: Hakone's Fantasy Mushrooms

　November 13, 1962, Hakone

　"Ah! This hot spring is only comfortable when it's cold! What do the Japanese say? Utter bliss, bliss!"

　Under the starry night sky, Marilyn Monroe returned to Mount Hakone, stretched out her limbs lazily, squinted her eyes like a cat, and deeply immersed her curvy body in the steaming hot spring bath, with an expression of satisfaction and enjoyment on her face.

　The natural hot springs with a slight scent of volcanic sulfur effectively soothed her accumulated fatigue during this long journey, as well as the anxiety and sorrow of being forced to stay in a foreign country and unable to return; and the fresh evening breeze blowing from afar from time to time made her feel refreshed and energetic.

　In addition, there was a cute light yellow inflatable duck toy floating in front of her, rising and falling with the shaking of the water.

　Marilyn Monroe felt quite childlike watching it, as if she was twenty years younger and had returned to her teenage years.

　I have to say that the "enema hydrotherapy" and massage that a CIA major recommended to her recently have really good effects.

　These days, she hasn't taken a single amphetamine pill or the "vitamin injection" prepared by Dr. Max Jacobson. Yet, her energy is incredibly high. She no longer experiences daytime drowsiness or loss of appetite, nor does she suffer from insomnia at night. She no longer experiences menstrual cramps, stomach aches, body aches, or other discomforts. Her mood is now euphoric and a bit euphoric.

　It was as if she was back in the days when she worked in the radio factory, staying up late to work overtime and strive to be a model worker, and her whole body was full of energy.

　During the day, he enthusiastically trekked through mountains and rivers, never feeling tired at all. At night, he would ride DiMaggio, the former baseball star, in his bedroom for an hour or two. Even if he screamed until he was hoarse and sweated profusely, he would wake up radiant and energetic again.

　Right now, apart from being a little bored of staying in Japan and not knowing when I can return to the United States to continue making movies, I don’t have any other worries.

　- You know, from January 1960 to now, she has been away from the screen for almost two years, and her former popularity is fading rapidly.

　But the problem is, and precisely because of this, she was very worried that 20th Century Fox would just do a perfunctory job and just find her a low-budget movie to star in.

　After all, everyone knows that these days, because of the huge budget and six-year production of Cleopatra, even 20th Century Fox has been deeply in debt and its capital chain is on the verge of breaking, and it can't even pay dividends to shareholders!

　In this case, even with the personal guarantee from the company president, it is still unknown how much money the company can provide for her to make a movie.

　Therefore, Marilyn Monroe had secretly decided: if the new movie that 20th Century Fox arranged for her to star in was invested with less than one million US dollars and the content and subject matter did not satisfy her, she would simply set up a "Marilyn Monroe Beauty Spa Club".

　With her "personal experience" with the efficacy of the product over the past period of time, coupled with her own fame, she should have no problem finding business...

　Marilyn Monroe thought so as she looked up at the poolside.

　——Behind a low table next to the open-air hot spring, Marita, who was also naked, was waving her delicate hands, like a bartender behind the bar, mixing colorful mushroom powder, cocoa powder, milk, honey and vanilla juice into the beaker according to the proportions.

　Under the dim light, amidst the lingering mist, one could clearly see the beautiful silhouette of this German girl—bright red hair, a white neck, a smooth back, plump buttocks, and beneath her round shoulders, her arms swayed from time to time, vaguely revealing the heavy fat balls on her chest...

　Even if it is just a beautiful silhouette, it is like a dream and enough to captivate everyone!

　Even Marilyn Monroe felt that this red-haired beauty, who was more than ten years younger than her, was so gorgeous and dazzling!

　Even though Marilyn Monroe prided herself on her beauty and took great care of herself, the ravages of time inevitably left her skin rough and aged. And among the female celebrities she knew, many appeared fine from a distance, but up close, their skin was as rough as sandpaper...

　However, Marita, the red-haired beauty, has skin that is so flawless that it seems unreal.

　Her face was impeccably clean from head to toe. She had neither the freckles and pimples of a young girl nor the wrinkles of a mature woman; it was as delicate as the finest porcelain.

　The scorching sun and hot wind of Los Angeles did not seem to leave any traces on her skin. Her rosy, fair and delicate skin reflected light under the dim light as if it was covered with oil, making people want to pinch her skin to see if they could squeeze out water.

　Damn it! What on earth does this red-haired cow eat? Even sixteen years ago, I didn't have skin this good!

　Looking at Marita's skin that was so white that it reflected light, Monroe, a 36-year-old young woman, bit her lip, her face full of envy and jealousy.

　What made Monroe even more envious and amazed was that in addition to her beautiful and flawless skin, Marita also had an excellent figure.

　At this moment, Marita, who was making herbal tea, sat on a small stool, with the weight of her whole body pressed on her soft and round buttocks, making the elastic flesh press out tender curves, and the buttocks, which were already plump, became even more firm and attractive.

　Of course, her breasts looked even more alluring. The pair of swaying white balls were obviously overnourished, heavy like two soft milk puddings, and kept shaking slightly with the red-haired beauty's breathing.

　It’s hard to imagine how soft and comfortable it would feel if you kneaded it with your hands!

　Ah, I really want to rub it!

　—According to some inviolable cosmic law, hot spring bathing and breast-grabbing are inseparable.

　So, staring at the pair of "human breasts" on Marita's chest that were almost as big as a cow's, Marilyn Monroe couldn't help but feel playful. She licked her lips, quietly got up and climbed out of the bathtub, then jumped in, reached out and grabbed Marita's breasts, and began to rub them hard!

　"Hmm—Huh—Ah—"

　Caught off guard, Marita was suddenly attacked on the chest. She couldn't help but gasp with a hint of eroticism.

　Monroe not only showed a wicked smile of success, but also looked at the white juice in her hand and whistled.

　"Wow! It really is a cow!"

　But the next moment, Marita, who had recovered from the stimulation, also launched a counterattack against Monroe.

　She just picked up the small wooden basin next to her and poured the full basin of cold water on Monroe's head!
