American Strategic Deception Bureau

　As a nation lacking experience in colonial rule, the United States is still navigating the process of controlling its vassal states. Faced with these unstable and chaotic smaller nations, the US, the dominant power, is at a loss, unsure how to intervene and fearing a potential blunder.

　Especially after the Cuban Revolution, when the CIA was deceived by Castro and forced the United States to provide financial and manpower support for an anti-American regime, and even fought a nuclear war on its doorstep, the White House and the Pentagon have become more cautious about interfering in the internal affairs of their allies.

　Next, Japan, which seems to have become a running dog of the United States, has actually launched a massive "anti-security movement" in the past two years.

　The so-called anti-security movement is actually the Japanese people's fight for independence and opposition to the continuation of the unequal Japan-US alliance.

　In 1951, the Japanese government and 48 countries signed the San Francisco Peace Treaty in the United States, declaring a state of military occupation and restoring normal national status.

　However, this was only a theoretical restoration of independence. In reality, Japan was still under the occupation of the US military. In order to legalize this occupation, the United States and Japan subsequently signed the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the United States, or the Security Treaty for short.

　In 1960, the first Security Treaty was about to expire, and the Japanese government began to negotiate with the United States about its renewal. After the news came out, the whole country of Japan was in an uproar. Students took to the streets and workers went on strike to protest, opposing Japan's continued status as a vassal of the United States.

　From May to June, the streets of Tokyo became a battlefield, filled with protesters and demonstrators. The scene was like the May Fourth Movement in China.

　Unfortunately, the student marches in Beijing could not drive away imperialism, and the student marches in Tokyo could not drive away the US troops either.

　The May Fourth Movement at least led Gu Weijun to refuse to sign the Paris Peace Treaty, but Japan's anti-security movement did not even achieve the minimum goal.

　——After a huge uproar by Japan's left-wing workers and students, the Security Treaty was signed and took effect, and the US military will remain in Japan as the emperor until the 21st century.

　Afterwards, Japan's left-wing forces became demoralized, most of them became silent, and a few formed terrorist organizations such as the "Red Army".

　Over the next half century, Japan's left-wing political forces gradually accepted reality and never launched a larger-scale anti-American movement.

　It was Japan's right-wing elements who shouted "Japan can say no" in the 1980s.

　However, the US government at that time was unable to predict the future development of the situation in Japan. Therefore, it was very dissatisfied and felt that this was a precursor to Japan's rebellion.

　A mere defeated nation burdened with original sin, a semi-colony effectively controlled by garrison troops, dares to demand national dignity and equal treatment from the American suzerain? Are you Japanese kidding me? Do you have any awareness of your status as pariahs of a defeated nation?

　Fortunately, the outbreak of Japan's anti-security movement happened to be the year of the US presidential election. For election reasons, President Eisenhower did not immediately take drastic action, but remained calm and watched from the sidelines. He did not care much about it afterwards: anyway, the Japan-US Security Treaty eventually came into effect.

　Later, when Kennedy was elected president, Japan's anti-security movement had long since disappeared, and the United States naturally had no intention of bringing up old scores - at that time, the Japanese were slapping the Republican government in the face, so what did it have to do with him, a Democratic president?

　But since the White House is now engaged in friendly diplomacy, it also plans to let Miss Monroe sing in Japan as a national spokesperson.

　Song compensates for laughter.

　The generals in the Pentagon recalled the little incident of Japan's anti-security movement two years ago and thought it would be a good idea to send General LeMay to Japan to scare people, so that those Japanese dwarfs wouldn't become so arrogant and lose their sense of the world after not being put on the fire for more than a decade.

　Another factor is that General LeMay, nicknamed the "Cold War Eagle," was severely injured in the Pentagon attack. His health deteriorated after his recovery, forcing him to end his career early and he is expected to retire next year.

　In order to allow General LeMay to have one last moment of glory before his retirement, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff specially arranged a series of tours for him, allowing him to represent the Pentagon and visit air force bases at home and abroad, putting a perfect end to his military career.

　Among them, Tokyo, which he had burned to the ground with his own hands, must be shown to General LeMay with his own eyes so that he could show off his power.

　After all, this was the glorious culmination of General LeMay's life's work. As for the subsequent nuclear explosion in Cuba, it was just a devastation of the weak that was not worth boasting about.

　And making Japan's political leaders kowtow before him can fully satisfy the vanity of this barbecue master.

　——It’s like dancing on the enemy’s grave. It feels great just thinking about it.

　"But won't Japan overreact to General LeMay's visit?"

　Firi frowned and asked, although he was well aware of how submissive the Japanese political circles were to the United States after the war. But could Dr. Kissinger be completely sure?

　"It was precisely to observe the reactions of the Japanese government and the people that the White House deliberately sent General LeMay to Japan."

　Dr. Kissinger smiled and said, “If the Japanese side behaves very respectfully throughout the process, it proves that this country is still relatively docile and controllable.

　If Japan's rejection reaction is strong, and they are even unwilling to comply for the sake of appearance, then it means that we need to adjust our strategy towards Japan..."

　"Just like training a pet dog...an obedience test?" Fili frowned and thought for a moment, then gave a similar example.

　"Yes, I rubbed the dog's head and yelled, 'Good boy!' While I was holding up the stick, I warned the dog not to show its teeth."

　Dr. Kissinger replied, "If a dog still bares its teeth at the sight of a stick, it's not yet tamed. It must be beaten with a stick."

　"You're absolutely right, Doctor. President Roosevelt's famous quote is always true!"

　At this point, both of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

　Facts have proven that Japan's official attitude toward the United States remains remarkably deferential. Upon learning of General LeMay's upcoming visit to Japan with Marilyn Monroe, Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda, who once predicted the advent of a "tripolar era of the US, Japan, and Europe," was not at all offended. Instead, he expressed genuine delight, declaring he would greet them with the utmost respect.

　It can be seen that his big words are probably just bragging during the election to gain some patriotic traffic.

　And so, in the last week of June, Miss Marilyn Monroe and her comprehensive team boarded a Boeing passenger plane that had not been cut corners at this time and flew to Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii...

　The author's words:

　higher.

　It has to be said that as the most famous Hollywood actress of this era, Marilyn Monroe still has a strong appeal in the entertainment industry.

　The title of "American National Ambassador" is not as worthless as some people with water in their brains think.

　When they heard that she was going to give a performance to entertain the troops in Hawaii, and recalled the glorious occasion when Marilyn Monroe became a world-famous star eight years ago when she entertained the troops on the front lines in Korea, many American singers and stars who had recent free time rushed over to support her.

　Of course, in order to boost Monroe's image, Miss Monroe's ex-husband, the legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio, also picked up his bat after arriving at Pearl Harbor and played several coaching and exhibition games with local naval sailors, winning applause with his superb skills.

　For a time, the military fortress of Pearl Harbor became a gathering place of stars and became the hottest top-tier entertainment show.

　What attracted the most attention was that even Elizabeth Taylor, later known as "The Queen of Pearl Harbor", came to Pearl Harbor to join in the fun - what's more, she was wearing the costume of Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, with eye shadow like a female pharaoh, and appeared on the stage to the whistles of sailors.

　According to Elizabeth Taylor herself, after more than five years of filming, "Cleopatra" is now basically completed. All that remains is some post-production and music composition work. As the heroine, she has nothing much to do, so it's a good opportunity for her to come to Pearl Harbor for a fashion show and roadshow.

　By the way, it is also a promotional event for the movie "Cleopatra" which will be released next year and in which she plays the leading role.

　Seeing the two goddesses of Hollywood's golden age, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, appearing on the same stage at Pearl Harbor wearing their iconic diamond dresses and ancient Egyptian long skirts respectively, the sailors watching below were all very excited and whistled continuously.

　Even Major Ferry King couldn't help but be intoxicated by their combined beauty.

　—Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor! Appearing on the same stage! This is a scene that symbolizes an era!

　Unfortunately, in addition to the eye-catching female stars and handsome male stars, some annoying guys also came along.

　Watching a certain old man with gray hair and squinty eyes, speaking broken English with a strong "Xiba" accent, approach Marilyn Monroe and pester her endlessly, mumbling nonsense like "My country needs me" and "I have made contributions to the United States"...

　Ferry couldn't help but feel his blood pressure starting to soar.

　"Dr. Kissinger, why did you let this old man in? And let him run to Miss Monroe and whine?"

　Fili pointed at the sleazy old Asian man who had run onto the stage without permission and made sexual advances towards Marilyn Monroe, and complained to Dr. Kissinger, who was sitting next to him, "Look at that fake smile on Marilyn Monroe's face. She can hardly hold it!"

　"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this old man to be so disgusting!"

　Dr. Kissinger couldn't help but take out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat from his forehead. "I thought he was a former president after all, so he would have some respect. Besides, he also said that Miss Monroe had met him once when she visited Korea to entertain the troops eight years ago..."

　But now it seems that it is not the case at all, Miss Monroe seems to not know him at all..."

　Looking at Monroe's embarrassed expression as if she had encountered a pervert when facing the Korean old man on the stage, Dr. Kissinger was also a little confused.

　"Baga! You really believe the bragging of South Korean politicians? Especially this former president. He's been lying since he was a kid. There's not a single word of truth in his mouth!"

　Fili rubbed his temple and lamented, "This old guy is shameless and loves to talk nonsense. Back then, because he didn't get the amount of aid he wanted, he actually lay down and rolled around crying in front of the White House, like an 80-year-old naughty boy."

　"Ah? He's so old, but he's still acting like a child. He thinks crying kids get candy?"

　Marita, who was sitting on the other side, blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked curiously, "Can a guy like this become president?"

　"Yes, this is our free world partner supported by the United States, a shameless, selfish old brat, a gender-reversed fairy. But compared to others, this guy is actually not bad.

　Although he is disobedient, incompetent, and petty, he is at least a normal person."

　Fili sighed, "In other places, the liberal camp seems to have supported a cannibal who should have been in a mental hospital to be president!

　Hey, some people even say that this represents the superiority of the American electoral system, that even letting a dog become president is no problem..."

　"Unfortunately, not to mention that letting a dog become the president of the United States will definitely cause problems, and as far as I know, the ability levels of many rulers in history are probably not as good as those of a dog..." Dr. Kissinger said with a wry smile.

　——At this moment, the old Korean man who was shamelessly harassing Miss Monroe on the stage of the Pearl Harbor entertainment performance was the founding president of the Republic of Korea, the old thief Syngman Rhee who was later "honored" by Koreans as the sinner of the peninsula.

　Of course, he is now a former president.

　Since the April 19th Movement in 1960, the Korean people, the rebel government officials and the defected Koreans have

　After being driven out of power by the Kuomintang army, President Syngman Rhee went into exile in Hawaii, the United States, and lived in a villa in Honolulu, the capital.

　People originally thought that this guy was already in his twilight years and should be quietly writing his memoirs in the sea breeze, waiting for the day he would be put into the coffin.

　Who would have thought that although Syngman Rhee is already 87 years old this year, he still has evil intentions and wants to make his presence felt whenever he finds an opportunity.

　When President Rhee heard that Marilyn Monroe, President Kennedy's "chief mistress" and the United States' national image spokesperson of the year, was coming to Hawaii to perform for the troops, he immediately came over and shamelessly said that he wanted to join in the fun.

　Dr. Kissinger thought that the old Korean man wanted to chase stars, so considering that he was the president, he arranged a VIP seat for him.

　Unexpectedly, Syngman Rhee jumped onto the stage during the performance, took out a petition, and asked Marilyn Monroe to deliver it to President Kennedy. He tearfully stated that he was old and frail and wanted to return to his roots in South Korea. Therefore, he asked the White House to help him communicate with the South Korean side.

　Well, you said you wanted to pass on the petition, so let's pass it on. Although it sounded outrageous, Miss Monroe still bit the bullet and accepted the petition - whether to put it in a safe or a shredder was another matter.

　But this shameless old man refused to bow and step down. Instead, he grabbed the microphone and talked about his achievements in South Korea's independence and "fighting against the North puppets (South Korea's derogatory name for North Korea)." The general meaning was that apart from him, no one was more qualified to rule South Korea!

　Oh, it seems that you not only want to return to Korea to retire, but are also still obsessed with the presidential residence, the Blue House?

　You old thief Syngman Rhee, don't you see what kind of occasion this is?

　Please, everyone comes here to see beautiful stars, not to listen to nonsense from an old man like you!

　Didn’t you see that the young men in the navy below were almost burning with anger in their eyes?

　Be careful or they might rush over and drag you out and beat you up!

　As for the squinty-eyed Korean father's delusion of hoping that his American father would help him again, Phil could only roll his eyes.

　Let's not even talk about whether Park Chung-hee, now firmly established in Seoul, would be willing to see your face again. More importantly, are you playing dumb or are you truly unaware? Getting rid of Syngman Rhee is not only the unanimous wish of the Korean people, but also something the US government has long awaited.

　From the Truman administration to the Eisenhower administration, the White House and Capitol Hill have long been irritated by you to the point of being unable to tolerate it!

　Although from the perspective of the socialist camp, South Korea's Syngman Rhee was a staunch lackey of American imperialism, the White House was left with no choice but to suffer. Only after using him did they realize how treacherous this damned old dog was: useless in normal times, yet capable of biting its master quite viciously.

　On the surface, as an agent supported by the United States with all its might, Syngman Rhee should be the embodiment of the United States' will in South Korea and the safeguard of American interests.

　Syngman Rhee also repeatedly thanked the United States for its great kindness and said that he wanted to pick up the "big powerism" of the Lee Dynasty and let South Korea serve the United States like a son, just like the successive Korean kings served the Ming and Qing dynasties.

　——Yes, this old man is indeed a descendant of the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty. But he is not a close relative, but he is very distant from the king's lineage.

　How distant is that? It's about as distant as the blood relationship between Liu Bei, the first emperor of Shu Han, and Liu Xie, the Emperor Xian of Han.

　The problem, however, was that during Syngman Rhee's administration, so-called "big powerism" remained little more than lip service. President Rhee selectively implemented the various orders of his American masters, eventually even creating trouble for the United States at every turn, openly defying American wishes.

　As a puppet of the United States, Syngman Rhee had an extremely poor relationship with the US ambassador to South Korea. During his presidency, the US replaced several ambassadors to South Korea, all of whom were driven back home by Syngman Rhee. When many US ambassadors arrived, no one from the South Korean side came to greet them.

　Even though he was the commander of the US forces in South Korea, President Syngman Rhee never treated him well, always making things difficult for him and never bowing down to him.

　During the Korean War, Syngman Rhee fought a terrible battle and could only cry for help from the US military. On the other hand, he insisted on opposing a ceasefire and deliberately set up obstacles to prevent peace talks between China and the United States. He was determined to let millions of US soldiers bring their own food and sacrifice their lives for him for free, so as to unify the peninsula and lay the foundation for the Lee family's rule.

　Even after the signing of the Korean War Armistice Agreement, he openly refused to sign the agreement, embarrassing his American master.

　After the Korean War, the United States sought to tie Japan and South Korea together to secure its position as a bridgehead in East Asia. However, Syngman Rhee refused to comply. Instead, he openly chanted anti-Japanese slogans, provoked the Dokdo conflict, and completely ignored U.S. intentions, infuriating President Eisenhower.

　It would be fine if they just didn't obey. There are many countries in the world that don't follow the American baton, and South Korea is no exception.

　The problem was that, despite being disobedient and incompetent, Syngman Rhee was still tirelessly trying to get money from the United States. Every time this old man asked for aid from the United States, he would ask for exorbitant amounts of money, and he would act so confidently as if the United States owed him something, which made people want to get angry.

　In the seven years between the end of the Korean War and the fall of Syngman Rhee, not counting military aid such as weapons and ammunition, the United States alone provided $17.45 billion in economic aid to South Korea. The United Nations also provided $1.2 million in relief aid.

　Not to mention, the consumption of US troops stationed in South Korea

　The ability and logistical supplies also allowed the Koreans to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money - at least in the form of kitchen waste from US military bases, allowing hungry Koreans to find the main ingredients of the famous Korean dish "Army Stew" from the garbage dump.

　Without the kindness of the US military stationed in South Korea, where would South Koreans get canned Spam? They would just have to boil two-legged sheep and eat human flesh!

　But what was the result? Despite receiving so much US aid, South Korea wasn't plagued by the Red guerrillas of South Vietnam. However, under President Syngman Rhee, South Korea's per capita GDP was only $82 by 1960, only one-third of North Korea's, making it one of the poorest countries in the world.

　The huge aid provided by the United States was either embezzled by Syngman Rhee and his cronies, or used to buy weapons and ammunition in preparation for the Northern Expedition to Korea.

　As a result, the United States provided hundreds of millions of dollars in aid every year, but Syngman Rhee still felt it was not enough. He flew to Washington from time to time and clamored for money in the White House and Capitol Hill, as if he was asking for alimony from an unfilial son. This made President Eisenhower very worried: Who is the father between the two of us?

　Once, when he really couldn't get the money, Syngman Rhee didn't care about the embarrassment and just rolled around on the South Lawn of the White House, attracting reporters and tourists to watch.

　One has to admire that this old man is in such good health that he can still perform monkey shows in public at the age of over 80 - of course, he himself is the monkey.

　Lee Seung-man performed various difficult crying and rolling techniques vividly in front of everyone. It would be a shame if he didn't join the Beggars' Sect with such skills.

　The US government is naturally fed up with a South Korean president who is never satisfied with what he eats, is incompetent at everything he does, and refuses to listen to anything he is told.

　During the Cold War, China was criticized for its support of Albania, a "beacon of Europe." But during the same period, the United States, through its generous support, often provided support to those who were just as deceptive as Albania, or even worse. Albania simply begged for money, while those the US supported often required the Pentagon to send troops to their deaths.

　In short, South Korea during Syngman Rhee's era was not an obedient little brother of the United States or a fat sheep to be harvested, but a bleeding trough for the United States!

　President Syngman Rhee was certainly well aware of this, but he stubbornly believed that as long as he remained irreconcilable with the communist bandits, the United States would have no choice but to work hard to protect him. What was there to worry about if he was short of money? He could get everything if he cried a little louder!

　But the problem is that the United States is not simply "suppressing communism" for the sake of "suppressing communism", but also has its own interests!

　The United States wants to be a world hegemon that eats flesh and drinks blood, not a living Lei Feng who works for the "free world" for free!

　No matter how actively you fight against communism, as long as you are not pro-American enough, the Americans will still get rid of you! They may even join forces with the "Red Bandits" to get rid of you!
