American Strategic Deception Bureau

　However, Lyle was short of money, so he asked Thai airborne instructors to help him organize a very simple three-day training course for the Hmong soldiers at the "Automated Defense Force" training base in Laos:

　On the first day, we learned how to shoot and clean guns, on the second day, we learned how to ambush and dig traps, on the third day, we learned how to communicate and command, and then we graduated and went into battle.

　——Pay 30 cents to train a Miao soldier, and the subsequent maintenance fee is only 10 cents a day... Hearing this, Fei

　I am speechless.

　This training method is even more sloppy than the Boy Scout summer camp. It sounds outrageous, right?

　But what was even more outrageous was that the Miao soldiers who had undergone this three-day intensive training could actually fight and win!

　From 1961 to 1962, Hmong soldiers trained by Laier for General Vang Pao repeatedly defeated Pathet Lao guerrillas in northern Laos' Plain of Jars (named after the scattered stone jars left by an ancient civilization). They even held their own against regular Vietcong troops, forcing the Vietcong to deploy an entire division to suppress the Hmong. However, they were still hampered by the rugged mountains and suffered repeated setbacks.

　These Miao soldiers who can fight one against three or even ten at a time are truly the descendants of the God of War Chi You!

　Recalling half a year ago, when he had $50 million in military funds in his hand but was still complaining about the small amount of money, Fili couldn't help but have an idea: If he had contacted Major Lyle in Laos at that time and transferred him $20 or 30 million, wouldn't he be able to recruit an army of Miao soldiers in an instant, and then throw them all onto the post-nuclear Cuban island to play a survival game of "Wasteland Domination" with Castro?

　Of course, Firi also knew that the combat effectiveness these Miao people could display in their hometown was different from that when they were fighting overseas.

　They fought against the Viet Cong in their hometown not for the interests of the United States, but to defend their hometown and fight for national independence.

　——From the perspective of these Laotian Miao people, they are not counter-revolutionary, but revolutionary!

　Because these simple Miao people simply could not believe that how could the Vietnamese, who had been calling for their death and slaughtering villages and exterminating clans at will throughout the entire feudal dynasty, treat these Miao people in the mountains as brothers after changing the red flag?

　Indians would feel a chill on their scalps when they saw American cowboys. The Miao people actually had a similar reaction when they saw the Kinh people in Vietnam.

　In addition, it must be said that the Communist Party of Vietnam has not done a good job on ethnic issues, sometimes even very badly. The Pathet Lao, which follows the Communist Party of Vietnam closely, has also failed to unite other ethnic minorities and has not been able to convince the Miao people to accept them as their own.

　In the past, the Miao people were trapped in the mountains, so poor they had no food or clothes. Faced with the Vietnamese coming to seize their territory, they had no choice but to retreat and hide in the mountains and forests. Now, with CIA-assisted military funds, supplies, weapons and ammunition, it would be strange if these Miao people did not fight back!

　Those who hold red flags are not necessarily revolutionaries, and those who receive American aid are not necessarily counter-revolutionaries. They may just as well be true freedom fighters.

　With the prestige gained from the victory against Vietnam, General Wang Bao had more than 20 Miao tribes come to join him, and his army expanded to 5,000 people.

　As long as more follow-up funds are injected, these brave Miao mountain warriors will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Viet Cong!

　But the problem is that Lyle can no longer come up with any more money.

　——Compared with the wealthy Cuban Special Task Force, which received all the resources from the CIA, the Laotian Miao anti-Vietnam war led by Lyle was no longer supported by a stepmother in terms of funding and logistics, but by the stepmother's pet cat.

　Even if he just wanted to apply for a pitiful $3 million in military funding each year, the bureau would not approve it and asked him to find a way to raise the money himself.

　To arm Vang Pao's Hmong soldiers, who lived on a mere ten cents a day, Lyle resorted to begging. He first seized a batch of weapons and ammunition from the US aid to South Vietnam. Then, through public relations in Thailand, he obtained some obsolete World War II weapons and ammunition, as well as old uniforms and tents. He even collected some Japanese weapons, which had been surrendered by Japan upon its surrender and had been gathering dust and rust for years.

　Even so, weapons and ammunition were scraped together here and there, and food could be "procured locally"—directly from the Laotian landowners' estates. But cash was truly difficult to come by: even a ten-cent daily salary, however modest, still had to be paid.

　But Lyle couldn't even raise that little money.

　Because they were so poor, when Fili visited the Cuban mercenaries of the 2506th Brigade, he would at least reward them with wine and barbecue, and preferably women and money to satisfy those soldiers. When Lyle visited Wang Bao's Miao army, he would give the soldiers some bread as a reward.

　——The soft bread baked with fine flour is a rare delicacy for the Miao people who are still using stone tools to dig the ground in the valley.

　Listening to Lyle recount the bitterness of the past two years, and recalling how he led a group of useless mercenaries last year, carrying baguettes and marching through the streets of Key West, Florida, and how they drank beer and ate barbecue on the beach... Fieri almost died of shame:

　Compared to myself, Lyle has it so hard!

　Because the CIA provided too little funding, Lyle had to rely on himself and opened a poppy plantation in the Miao area, trying to make money by selling opium.

　But the problem is that Laos itself is a landlocked country with no access to the sea, and Laer does not have its own drug trafficking channels, so even if he grows opium, he cannot sell it.

　Therefore, he could only try to act as a matchmaker and let Vang Pao cooperate with Ngo Dinh Nhu, a powerful figure in South Vietnam who had been trafficking drugs for many years to do business. He would transport the opium that Vang Pao had brought people to grow in Laos to the port of Hue in South Vietnam on a CIA plane and sell it at a wholesale price.

　Although the price Wu Tingxiu offered for opium was very low, at least the Miao people

　The soldiers can now receive a salary of one cent per day.

　However, as the Cuban invasion that nearly triggered World War III ended in farce under Firi's leadership, Castro changed his name to Kakarot and prepared to use the whole country's strength to grow hemp, poppies and poisonous mushrooms in Cuba... As a result, the global drug market is about to undergo severe shocks!

　Because it is foreseeable that a large part of the drug market in the United States will be taken away by Cuba, Ngo Dinh Nguyen, as the shipping end, will inevitably be greatly affected in terms of income - and if he, the largest legal drug lord in South Vietnam, loses his money, his brother Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​presidency will also be unstable!

　You must know that although Ngo Dinh Nhu actually controlled the central government of South Vietnam, in name only, he was still a commoner without any public office.

　In order to help his brother, the president, govern the country and suppress the troublemakers, Ngo Dinh Nhu formed the "Hardworking Party" and recruited powerful people from all sides to help maintain order; at the same time, he raised a team called the "Army Special Forces", which were actually elite soldiers from the Ngo family's household, to fight dissidents in Saigon.

　But why should the members of these two organizations, the civil and the military, obey Ngo Dinh Nhu? The only way was to pay them. And a lot of money.

　In order to subsidize this huge private team, Ngo Dinh Nhu opened opium dens all over South Vietnam, poisoning the people and making a fortune; at the same time, he exported opium overseas from the port of Hue, which was firmly controlled by the Ngo family, to make money to support his troops.

　However, in today's world of overproductivity, drugs themselves are not scarce; what is most lacking is the drug trafficking market that can consume drugs.

　Looking around the world, before the rise of Japan, where else was the world's most consumer-powerful high-end drug market, besides Europe and the United States?

　Seeing that Cuba, after turning from red to black, was about to produce and sell drugs nationwide, and under the protection of the CIA, it was frantically seizing the American drug market and even overflowing into the European drug market... How could Wu Tingniu sit still?

　So, Wu Dinh Nhu, who felt very good about himself, brought his wife and came to the United States on a "visit" in a rage, wanting to ask the CIA for an explanation.

　Because Ngo Dinh Nhu threatened to stop accepting opium from Wang Bao's Miao people, Wang Bao's Miao army's funding chain was broken and was subsequently defeated by the Viet Cong. Lyle, who had no other drug trafficking channels for a while, had no choice but to follow Ngo Dinh Nhu to the United States to help Ngo Dinh Nhu smooth out relations with the bureau.

　Although it was embarrassing and humiliating, Lyle had to come this time. The Soviets had also noticed this formidable Hmong militia occupying a strategic location, and they had come up with a rather simple and drastic plan: the Soviets shipped 15 tons of silver and millions of feet of red, green, and black cloth to Hanoi, Vietnam, allowing the Vietnamese to use this Hmong's favorite hard currency to bribe Vang Pao's army to switch sides!

　That's fifteen tons of silver! Wang Bao's army only has five thousand men, so each man gets three kilograms of silver!

　Not to mention the average of several hundred feet of high-quality cloth per person!

　After the news spread, Wang Bao's Miao army was in turmoil. Wang Bao worried every day about his men rebelling, and Lyle was also worried: What if the Miao troops he had worked so hard to recruit turned to the Communist Party because the United States did not pay them but the Soviet Union did?

　However, it turned out that both Lyle and Wang Bao were worrying too much.

　Because the Vietnamese Communist authorities in Hanoi embezzled all the silver and cloth sent by the Soviet Union, and did not use a single cent to bribe the Miao people in Laos.

　The Hmong people also confirmed that the Vietcong were truly determined to eradicate the Hmong. Otherwise, they would not have been so ruthless, and thus their fighting spirit became even stronger.

　——During the entire Vietnam War, South Vietnam was embezzling US aid on a large scale, and North Vietnam was also embezzling Soviet aid on a large scale.

　Although it is true that the Saigon government in the south is more corrupt and more rampant with corruption, it does not mean that the Hanoi government in the north is clean...

　Of course, at this time, Lyle was still unaware of the Viet Cong's outrageous move to divert fish from the deep, and was anxiously trying to get money to maintain the loyalty of his soldiers.

　As it turned out, Nguyen Dinh Nhu, Chen Lichun, and Lyle's group stopped in Hawaii before reaching Washington. While waiting for their connecting flight, they encountered Fili, the instigator of "Black Cuba." They decided to first inquire about the situation and get a feel for it.

　Unexpectedly, just as the conversation began, Wu Tingxiu's drug addiction came back, so he had to satisfy his addiction himself and let Lyle talk to Ferry.

　In short, after listening to Lyle's story, Fili couldn't help but sigh that although this guy made and sold drugs and seemed like a despicable person, considering the reasons why he became a despicable person, he could really be said to have devoted himself to his work until his death, and could be called a "lone loyalist overseas"!

　If there were not such a group of patriotic warriors who were willing to serve their country and work hard in the dark, how could the United States have developed into a world hegemon?

　However, what puzzled Firi was that, as far as he knew, the CIA had been trying to control a drug-producing area in recent years so that it could take a cut from the lucrative drug trafficking business to fill the always empty coffers of the spies, big and small - for this purpose, it even did not hesitate to turn enemies into friends and join forces with Cuba in drug trafficking!

　But this man Lyle has already opened up large poppy plantations in Laos. Why doesn't the bureau pay any attention to it?

　Lyle's explanation for this is that he is indeed a CIA agent, and he and his CIA colleagues do have poppy fields in Laos. However, the sale of opium in Laos is affiliated with the drug trafficking network of the French intelligence agency, and the growers only earn a hard-earned fee.

　Because Laos is a landlocked country and wants to export to the international market

　If they wanted to transport the drugs, they had to go through the ports of South Vietnam to be loaded onto ships and shipped out to sea.

　Next, while Ngo Dinh Diem was the US-backed president of South Vietnam, his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu was a Frenchman in spirit, and had recently been flirting with President Charles de Gaulle. The South Vietnamese regime's drug trafficking network now operated not with the CIA but with French intelligence.

　Therefore, after the opium from the mountainous areas of Indochina was loaded onto ships in Hue and shipped out to sea, it was not shipped to America across the ocean, but was shipped west to Marseille, France. After being refined and processed in local secret factories, it was made into morphine and then imported into New York, USA, and handed over to several mafia families for sale.

　This drug trafficking route, which encircled most of the Earth but completely skipped the CIA's control nodes, left Firi speechless:

　The opium grown by the CIA in Laos had to travel halfway around the world, passing through the French and making a profit before it could be sold to the US market?!

　Is this making the mighty CIA of the United States become a tenant and serf of the French Directorate-General for External Security?

　Who is the boss in the Western camp right now?

　At this point, Firi finally understood why drugs from Southeast Asia began to be imported into the United States in large quantities as soon as the Vietnam War broke out.

　It turned out that the CIA had already opened up a large number of poppy plantations in Southeast Asia and contacted many drug lords, but a group of pro-French elements controlled the ports and sales channels, resulting in the opium in the Golden Triangle not being able to be shipped directly to the United States, but instead had to be shipped to Marseille, France for further processing.

　Once the US military entered South Vietnam in force, violently breaking through the French colonial authorities' remaining influence in Southeast Asia and helping the CIA break through the last obstacle in the drug trafficking chain, the CIA would have become the king of the global drug trafficking world...

　Therefore, as long as Ngo Dinh Nhu refused to change his ways, abandon his "inappropriate" secret relationship with the French intelligence agency, and transform from a spiritual Frenchman to a spiritual American, the CIA would not give up the idea of ​​getting rid of him.

　The CIA's Miao militia, which relies on such a French agent for its financial resources, obviously has a bleak future.

　Fili then frankly told Lyle his opinion, stating that the CIA would not give up the nearby Cuban drug source to cater to the interests of Nguyen Dinh Nhu, the South Vietnamese drug lord, unless Nguyen directly shipped all the opium to the United States and handed it over to the CIA for refining and sales.

　As for the Miao militia in Laos...if the Soviets really took out more than ten tons of silver to bribe them, they would have no choice but to accept their fate.

　To do his part, Fili could write a letter, hoping the bureau would allocate some funds to Lerdo, but that wouldn't necessarily work...

　So, with a heavy heart, Lyle left the open-air cafe in Pearl Harbor, holding the letter written by Ferry.

　After sighing for a while, Ferry returned to Miss Monroe, who had finished her performance, and they returned to the hotel together.

　As a result, the next morning, he and Marita witnessed a rather explosive scene in the hotel...

　Chapter 169: The company president apologizes

　"Honey, am I seeing this right? Elizabeth Taylor, she, she just came out of Marilyn Monroe's room?

　Look, there's still a kiss mark on Miss Taylor's neck! And there's no other man behind her!"

　In the corridor of a luxury hotel in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, Marita, who had just finished dressing and walked out of the room, put her arm around her boyfriend Fili's shoulders, and raised her other hand in surprise and doubt, pointing at the graceful figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.

　"The noise in the next room last night was all caused by Miss Taylor and Miss Monroe? This is incredible!"

　She leaned close to Fili's ear in disbelief, biting Fili's ear and whispered.

　Last night, Fili and Marita, who lived in the room next to Miss Monroe, kept hearing all sorts of strange noises coming from Miss Monroe's room. They sounded like weeping, like singing, like the blood-soaked cuckoo, or the mournful cry of a swan...

　Fili and Marita were not surprised by this, because everyone living in Los Angeles knew that most Hollywood actresses had chaotic private lives, and Marilyn Monroe's private life was even more chaotic, as she had sex with at least five or six men at the same time.

　Now, her "ex-husband" Joe DiMaggio is by her side again, and he is also tirelessly trying to remarry Monroe...

　So, whether Miss Monroe accepted his proposal again or not, it seems normal to have sex with him first, right?

　Although they only heard women's moans throughout last night and no men's shouting or roaring, Fili and Marita didn't think there was anything wrong.

　——Maybe the man is more taciturn in bed and likes to use actions instead of words?

　But the next morning, Fili and Marita were confused to see DiMaggio come out of the room downstairs and go to the hotel garden for morning exercises.

　Eh? You, a big licker, slept alone last night? Then, who was the person who had sex with Miss Monroe all night?

　Just at this moment, there was another noise from next door. Fili and Marita stood guard at the door stealthily, peeking through the crack to see what was going on.

　——The eyes of both of them were sparkling, and their eyes were full of "I am very curious".

　Then they discovered that the person who walked out of Marilyn Monroe's room was not a man, but a woman.

　Or a girl as big as Marilyn Monroe

　A famous woman.

　——Elizabeth Taylor!

　Moreover, there were only the two of them in Marilyn Monroe's room, no other man.

　This was something that really made Marita feel a little bit out of her mind.

　Compared to Marita's surprise, Fili was quite calm. He only looked at Elizabeth Taylor's back with a playful look and said nonchalantly, "Ah, I think, as the two most shining female stars in Hollywood today, it's normal for them to be curious about each other. Although there are very few female stars in Hollywood who are openly gay, there have always been quite a few who are privately bisexual.

　Honey, when you were at home, didn't you always have fun with Alena, Isabelle, and Juanita?

　"It was you, a bad guy, who gave the order and forced me to play with them?" Marita's beautiful eyes moved and she gave him a reproachful look.

　"But now you've been enjoying it for a long time! I remember when I wasn't at home, you often made Isabelle and the others hold dicks in their mouths, face each other, and play the human centipede game; or you put ears and a tail on Juanita to pretend she was a pet cat..."

　Fili curled his lips. "So, it's perfectly normal for Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to occasionally have sex with each other and play lesbian games while drinking late at night. There's really no need for us followers to make a fuss about it."

　They're all women anyway, so there's no need to worry about pregnancy. At least it's healthier than smoking marijuana or taking drugs together... Oh, no! Are they really taking drugs? "

　——Suddenly, he smelled a pungent smell of hemp coming from Marilyn Monroe's room, and Ferry's expression changed instantly.

　Although drug abuse is no longer a taboo nowadays, it will have a negative impact if it is widely publicized.

　What? White House interns and congressmen are taking amphetamines?

　Please, nowadays people don’t think this is a drug at all, but regard it as a health product with relatively serious side effects!

　Since it is not a drug as generally understood by society, there is no drug abuse problem even if it is taken openly.

　So, Fili quickly dragged Marita inside. Then, amidst the grumbling of Miss Monroe, who lay on the bed, he opened the window to ventilate the room and began cleaning the mess, trying to erase all traces of last night's revelry before the hotel waiter arrived...

　In short, the story of two Hollywood goddesses, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor, taking drugs and having sex with prostitutes, while sensational and exciting to the public, was ultimately just a minor incident during their trip, and even the people involved didn't take it seriously. In fact, the day after sleeping with Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor flew back to Los Angeles to shoot the promotional posters for "Cleopatra" in the studio.

　The other stars and singers who came to Pearl Harbor to participate in the benefit performance for the troops and "joined in the celebration" with Monroe soon left one after another.

　However, Marilyn Monroe and her entourage continued to stay here - even though the performance for the troops at Pearl Harbor had ended successfully. However, the next leg of their journey to Tokyo, Japan, could not be started for the time being.

　General Curtis LeMay hadn't arrived yet. It was said that the Air Force had run into some trouble back home, delaying his scheduled trip.

　——Monroe, who was criticized for being always late in the past, is now her turn to be stood up!
