American Strategic Deception Bureau

　——During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army was undergoing a groundbreaking military reform under the strong promotion of Secretary of Defense McNamara.

　Given the lessons learned during the Korean War, where the US military's powerful heavy armored and mechanized forces could only maneuver along roads and were unable to move a single step away from them, and where infantry could only engage in a tug-of-war with the Chinese People's Volunteer Army hill by hill, unable to leverage the advantages of mechanization, some young US military staff officers attempted to bring the highly effective "island-hopping" tactics of the Pacific War to land, replacing landing craft and aircraft carriers with helicopters. They proposed a new military concept that relied on helicopters for aerial maneuvering, avoiding ground obstacles, and thus conducting operations more flexibly and efficiently.

　According to these young staff officers, helicopters could transport troops and supplies like armored vehicles and provide firepower like tanks, while simultaneously being free from the terrain constraints of vehicles. Even in muddy swamps and deltas, rugged canyons and hills, and dense forests, helicopters could fly freely, unfazed by enemy ambushes and surprise attacks, and faster than cars.

　Theoretically, helicopters can hover in place on any terrain, lowering ladders to transport personnel or hoisting artillery and ammunition. Aside from their fuel consumption, using helicopters to move ground troops offers numerous advantages and should be the future direction of the Army.

　To this end, the Pentagon integrated the 11th Airborne Division, the 10th Airlift Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Division into the 1st Cavalry Division in 1965.

　——Just like the American cavalry after World War II, which were basically armored cavalry, instead of riding horses, they "rode" tanks and armored vehicles. The integrated 1st Cavalry Division also replaced horses with mechanical vehicles: except that they rode helicopters, so it was also called the "1st Air Cavalry Division."

　According to the Ministry of National Defense's plan, the division will be used to experiment with air mobility tactics for ground combat forces, namely, using helicopters to complete the deployment, support, and evacuation of battalion-level troops, and obtain fire support from attack aircraft, artillery, and helicopter external weapon systems, as well as air coordinated command, tactical reconnaissance, etc.

　Next, the 1st Cavalry Division, which relied on helicopters for air mobility and was known as the "Sons of McNamara," soon became a shining star on the battlefields of Southeast Asia: since the US troops in the division were all mobilized by air and the logistics line was also maintained by air transport, the Viet Cong guerrillas could neither use the terrain to set ambushes to block the division's air jump advance, nor could they harass and cut off the helicopter transport lines in the air. They could only rely on mobile artillery bombardments of airports to barely save their reputation.

　——Individual air defense missiles at this time are far from being practical. The poorly equipped Viet Cong guerrillas cannot use "Stingers" to shoot down helicopters like the Afghan mujahideen. They can only "sigh to the sky" while digging tunnels and becoming ground rats, maxing out their talents in concealment and camouflage.

　If helicopters could avoid rice paddies and villages where Vietcong lay in ambush in Vietnam, they could also bypass congested highways in China.

　So, even though Estelion had never commanded airborne troops or flown a helicopter, he immediately understood why the newly formed "Terrorist Mobile Unit" would use helicopters for aerial maneuvers, just like the 1st Air Cavalry Division.

　"The only thing I can't understand is why this important experimental unit uses Asian and Hispanic soldiers?"

　Esterline frowned at Firi, who smiled in response. "Are you playing dumb? You really don't understand? Senior Esterline, if you knew why France had the Foreign Legion and why Tsarist Russia used the Cossacks to suppress the revolution, you'd understand why the Pentagon wanted you to form a terrorist squad like this."

　Chapter 379: Marita, the Flower of the CIA, also wants to improve

　Ferry's Sanctuary Villa, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles

　"Anyway, this is the situation now. The Battle of Los Angeles is over. Over four hundred ordinary citizens and college students have died. Nearly a thousand Compton niggers and other thugs have died. Five thousand houses have burned throughout the city, and over twenty local insurance companies have gone bankrupt.

　But in the industrial Great Lakes region, in Seattle, and in the Southern states, riots and fighting continue.”

　In the spacious basement covered with thick plush carpet and filled with the fragrance of a woman's body as usual, Fili lay lazily on Alena's smooth thighs, enjoying Zhao Qiuniang's oral service under his crotch, while telling the woman at home about his work situation in recent days.

　"Next, those newly recruited Asian and Hispanic recruits won't have to bask in the sunshine of Southeast Asia. Instead, they'll be assigned to the Terrorist Squad, tasked with suppressing insurgents domestically—the equivalent of being a federal SWAT officer, much better than serving as a private in Vietnam. Senior Esteline, who had previously been crippled in Cuba, received an exceptional promotion from Secretary of Defense McNamara, rising to the rank of colonel in command of the Terrorist Squad.

　Even former President Yoshitaka Shimbun, who had just resigned from office in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States with his family, was

　With his extensive experience fighting Vietcong guerrillas and conducting public security operations, he was hired as a consultant for the Terrorist Mobile Squad and found employment in the United States. Everyone has a bright future..."

　Talking about the fate of everyone after experiencing this chaos, Fili couldn't help but sigh and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

　Thinking back to five years ago, my old boss Jacob Esterline was so high-spirited and ambitious - he had nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, was responsible for destroying two countries, and his reputation resounded throughout the Western Hemisphere. He was ambitiously planning to conquer Cuba and achieve a great feat on the battlefield.

　Unexpectedly, they hit a wall in Cuba and were hit by a Soviet atomic bomb. Decades of achievements turned to dust under the mushroom cloud.

　After finally escaping from a Cuban prisoner-of-war camp, he was ruthlessly expelled from the CIA and became a "talent exported to society". At one point, he almost became a homeless person, and finally could only work as a worker under his former subordinate, Colonel Ferry King.

　I don’t know where this face has gone!

　However, no one expected that Estelion, whose fate seemed to have hit rock bottom, could actually turn things around. Relying on a group of Latino and Asian recruits, he beat the rebellious blacks in the country and made them flee in fear. By the way, he also put himself in the Pentagon's sight again.

　When Estelline returned to Washington with the rank of colonel on his shoulders, there were even flatterers at social gatherings in Los Angeles praising Ferry and Estelline as the Bradley and Patton of the 1960s!

　During World War II, the US Army's most famous "Iron Triangle" in the European Theater of Operations was Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley. Eisenhower was the commander-in-chief, while Patton, with greater experience, had long been Bradley's superior. Bradley, in turn, considered himself Patton's junior.

　However, Patton was widely criticized in the US during the Sicily Campaign in 1943 for the "Slap Incident," which nearly cut short his career. By the time of the Normandy Landings in 1944, Patton's and Bradley's positions had reversed, with Patton now serving as Bradley's subordinate. Many worried that their relationship would become strained, leading to internal friction within the Allied command.

　Even Bradley himself had this concern. In the movie "Patton", he simply pointed out this issue to Patton in person.

　Of course, great generals are great because they can break free from the shackles of mediocrity. In the year that followed, Patton and Bradley didn't harbor any grudges over the reversal of status. Instead, they worked hard to tolerate each other for the sake of their country, everything for victory, and they worked closely together, complementing each other.

　It is unknown whether the two had any conflicts after the war, as Patton died shortly after Germany surrendered.

　Anyway, Firi felt that Estelion was definitely not as good as Patton - his ability was far inferior, and his arrogance was even greater.

　And he himself did not seem to have Bradley's ability. At least Ferry did not think he would have the honor of being named after a tank.

　Finally, his relationship with Estelion wasn't that good. Back when they were both in charge of the Cuban strategy, things had gotten pretty bad together...

　"Ah, Estline is a colonel again? What kind of bright future is this? I'm not happy at all!"

　Marita, who had been burying her head in Kate's crotch, kissing her petals with her tongue, immediately raised her head in anger upon hearing this and reached out to tidy up her scattered hair. "It was he who forced me into the CIA, and after forcing me to assassinate Castro and failing, he threw me into a black jail and almost sold me to a brothel! Such a rotten man should be thrown into the garbage dump and slowly rotted away. How can we let him get back on his feet?"

　A misnomer for the "flower of the CIA," Marita, this red-haired beauty, is actually quite mean-spirited and vindictive. At first glance, she might seem like a femme fatale. However, she is incredibly weak and timid, both physically and mentally, making her ruthless even if she wants to be.

　Don't be fooled by the fact that when she mentioned Jacob Esterline, her face was full of hatred, as if she wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

　But if Estelian really became a homeless man, curled up in a garbage dump on the street corner and was dying, then even if Fili handed Marita a pistol, Marita would most likely become scared and would not have the courage to shoot her enemy to relieve her hatred.

　Therefore, Fili regarded Marita's complaint as a kitten's threatening behavior and said casually, "Well, it's been so many years, let the past be the past! Anyway, you have already left the CIA, so why bother about it?"

　Besides, if Estelion hadn't thrown you into the dungeon, how could you have become my possession?

　Come to think of it, I should thank him for being the matchmaker that allowed me to meet you..."

　He smiled and reached out to touch Marita's wet crotch. He was satisfied to see a shy expression on Marita's face. "Let me ask you a question. Why did Secretary of Defense McNamara use Latino and Asian soldiers to form a terrorist mobile team, let a veteran spy with no sense of military honor be the commander, conduct urban suppression operations in the United States, and condone these people of color to ride in helicopters and strike hard all over the United States?"

　"Isn't this simple? Just like the Tsar raising Cossacks and Hitler forming the foreign SS, in the face of the anti-war movement and urban riots throughout the United States, the Pentagon must also form a barbarian team to do the dirty work, specifically to attack American citizens!

　"

　Marita shrugged. "But having Vietnamese soldiers brutally suppress the American citizens' anti-war movement in the United States, forcing them to go to Vietnam and kill Vietnamese, using Vietnamese as supervisors to force Americans to fight Vietnam... Haha, why does this sound like a kind of black humor?"

　-

　In modern history, there is a very strange and common phenomenon.

　That is, when faced with the "revolutionary masses" taking to the streets, the army, which seems to be able to easily massacre the mob, is often so weak that it is vulnerable!

　This led to the French writer Alexis de Tocqueville's comment: "Soldiers are easily panicked during a revolution and become extremely weak when faced with mobs." He ultimately came to the conclusion that many armies can withstand the test of war, but few can withstand the test of revolution!

　For example, the February Revolution of 1917, which ended Tsarist Russia, began with women in the capital, St. Petersburg, taking to the streets, shouting "I want bread." The protests were quickly suppressed by the army. But just one night later, the army's defections and rebellion spread with alarming speed. A day later, the Russian army, tasked with suppressing the rebellion, collapsed before the mob, quickly spreading to the police, ultimately leading to the overthrow of the empire.

　Then, in August 1991, during the "August 8th Coup", the last effort of Soviet conservatives to save the country, the Soviet coup troops ordered to arrest Yeltsin were surrounded by Moscow mobs and defected one after another, allowing Yeltsin to leave the famous scene of giving a speech while standing on a tank.

　Why are many armies able to face the test of war and death, but often cannot withstand the slightest attack from the mob?

　It's very simple, because the conscription-based armies of modern countries are actually ordinary people with guns, and they are not immune to revolutionary ideas.

　Since a conscription-based army comes from the people, we cannot expect such an army to be willing to become enemies of the people for the sake of its rulers.

　If you want the army to be able to resist revolution, you must sever the connection between the army and the people, so that the army has no empathy for the people's suffering.

　Therefore, for the reactionary rulers, in the face of the revolutionary wave, foreign mercenaries are far more reliable than their own citizen militia.

　Successive Eastern Roman emperors liked to hire barbarian soldiers, such as the Varangian Guard composed of Vikings, to suppress the people in the capital.

　The Russian Tsar raised Cossacks from the steppes and mobilized mountain people from the Caucasus to suppress protesting citizens in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

　During the Spanish Civil War, Franco ignored the ancient religious conflicts and sent a large number of Moorish Muslim mercenaries across the sea to invade the Spanish mainland. He suppressed and massacred left-wing people, built skull towers, and made people who supported the Spanish Republic tremble with fear.

　Facts have proven that the effectiveness of a government army against the rising revolutionary masses has nothing to do with its equipment and training. Rather, it lies in the depth of the linguistic, cultural, ethnic, religious, regional, and economic class divide between the soldiers and the masses they suppress. The deeper this divide, the more indifferent the army becomes to the masses, the more immune it becomes to the "revolutionary virus," and the greater its ability to suppress the mob.

　Only the huge barriers in language, culture, religion and geography can prevent mutual communication and recognition between soldiers and the people, allowing these armies to attack the rebel mobs as if they were the enemy, and to earnestly "integrate" with the people and win the battle.

　——The more reactionary the regime’s army is, the less likely it is to have “close ties between the military and the people”. Instead, there should be estrangement between the military and the people, and mutual hatred.

　Otherwise, if the army is too popular among the people, it may stand with the people at a critical moment and turn against the government!

　At present, what appears to be riots among black people have already begun to unfold across the United States. In fact, it has already been a class struggle, with black people just taking the lead.

　Among the lower-class white people, there are also many groups that oppose the government. Whenever there are riots, they will take to the streets to buy things for free and cause trouble.

　In this way, if the Pentagon uses black troops to suppress black mobs, there is a risk of the army defecting. If white troops are used to suppress them, it may induce the rise of extremists such as the Ku Klux Klan, which is also not conducive to the stability of the existing ruling order.

　——Later generations only remember that the KKK wore dunce caps and burned black people, but they don’t know that the KKK was originally an organization that opposed Jews!

　For the Jews who are currently rapidly expanding their influence in the upper echelons of the United States, they must guard against black mobs and even more severely suppress white mobs!

　During Kennedy's presidency, the White House was able to control the Jews. But by the time of Johnson's presidency, Jews had already deeply infiltrated American politics and were beginning to turn the tables, manipulating Congress and the president like puppets... However, this "inviolable" status of Jews in the United States is only just beginning to take shape, far from stable, and the backlash it has provoked is severe, leading to a certain level of nervousness.

　Compared with the insignificant black riots, Jews are more afraid that white conservatives will use the name of "anti-blackness" to implicate themselves as well!

　Thus, the Asian and Latino soldiers recently recruited by Firi and Estelion, who barely spoke English, suddenly went from being despised "inferior soldiers" to being highly sought-after in Washington. Washington saw them as potentially tamed barbarian mercenaries and Varangian guardsmen for a "New Rome," ready to be used in the creation of a specialized civil war suppression force for "special attacks against traditional Americans"...

　So, Estelion

　He became successful again, and the former president was able to find a job again.

　"Ahem, after all this talk, everyone else has been promoted, everyone else has been promoted, only you, the master, have nothing good going on!"

　Although she had been lying naked under Fili's crotch and giving him oral sex, Zhao Qiuniang, who had been listening attentively, suddenly spat out the fleshy stick in her mouth and asked in confusion, "After all, you won the battle, why didn't you get promoted to a general?"

　So, Fili, who suddenly became depressed, pushed her back and said, "I didn't ask you to talk! Keep sucking it, don't stop!"

　Just like that, Zhao Qiuniang rolled her eyes and continued to let something fill her cherry mouth.

　But Marita's interest had been piqued. A curious smile appeared on her lips. She stood up, gently stretched out her arms, hooked them around Fili's neck, and whispered in his ear, "Tell me, dear, when can you become a general? I also want to be a general's wife!"

　Facing this CIA flower that wanted to make progress, Colonel Filikin suddenly revealed a helpless bitter smile...

　Author's words: PS: The Vietnam War in this dimension will be very magical, with a large number of Vietnamese soldiers suppressing the American anti-war movement in the United States.

　Chapter 380: "Battleground State" has really become a battlefield state

　"There's a story in Russia about how to become a general's wife. I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing it, dear."

　Looking at Marita, who came towards him with a look of "I want to make progress" written all over her face, Firi, who had been "making no progress" recently, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered the famous line from "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears", and said it out loud.

　"Two Soviet girls left the ball. One girl recalled what she had seen and complained to her companion, 'Why were the wives of the generals all old and ugly? Instead of beautiful girls like herself? It was so unfair!'"

　Another slightly older girl replied, "If you want to be a general's wife, you have to marry a lieutenant first and live with him for twenty years in the snow, forests, deserts, and even in the midst of gunfire. You need to accompany a man to grow up before you can become a general's wife."

　However, Marita's reaction next was completely beyond Fili's expectations.

　“Ah, this is the Soviet way of thinking, which is completely inconsistent with the realities in the United States and Europe!”

　The red-haired daughter of the Nazi submarine commander rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Whether in Europe or America, what general needs to spend their time in the wilderness to gain experience? Unless a world war breaks out, those without a good background will never even dream of becoming a general!"

　Firi: ...

　Well, the United States, where wealthy families have been in power for generations, is indeed different from the Soviet Union, where "everyone is equal" at least on the surface.

　At this time, a considerable number of Soviet generals who had experienced the test of World War II came from humble backgrounds and climbed up step by step from the grassroots level based on their merits.

　But the generals on the American side have their own promotion model. They don’t need to climb on ice and snow, guard the border, and start from the bottom.

　On the contrary, most American generals are generally seriously out of touch with the masses. They are either born into wealthy families and have good luck in life - there are military families similar to the German Junker Officer Corps in the United States; or they started out as high-IQ top test-takers and have already distanced themselves from their classmates in school.

　Other generals have joined the ranks of politicians: separation of the military and politics is one thing, but whether politicians have influence in the military is another.

　Putting aside those less-than-legal activities, the millions of votes from the military alone are worth many politicians trying their best to win over.

　Although it does not mean that in the United States, as long as you have a good background, you can easily get a military star through the back door even if you have no military merits.

　In 19th-century America, this kind of thing happened a lot: during the Civil War, local tycoons used their influence to raise a militia, and the president would immediately reward them with a generalship. Even if you had never attended military school and had no military experience, it didn't matter; as long as you could recruit people, it was enough.

　However, by the 20th century, with the gradual formalization of the US military, it was almost impossible for children from wealthy families to easily become generals just by relying on their family background - no matter how they gilded their achievements, they had to have some merits before the Ministry of Defense would promote them!

　(History is cyclical. In the 21st century, the US military once again became politically driven, and there are more and more generals with bizarre resumes.)

　However, this does not mean that as long as one's achievements are great enough, one will be promoted to general. Instead, certain prerequisites must be met.

　If one wants to make a name for himself in the US military through meritorious service, his family background must at least be middle class or above, and he must be able to reach the threshold of a wealthy family.

　Otherwise, you can't get promoted just by making meritorious contributions - of course, there are always some exceptions, but compared to the whole, they are so few that they can be ignored.

　Therefore, the wives of American generals naturally do not need to follow their husbands to suffer in some harsh desert areas.

　Because, officers who can become generals do not need to endure hardships, and officers who need to endure hardships cannot become generals at all.

　In other words, the wife who accompanies an American lieutenant through hardships will never become a general's wife. What awaits them is only endless suffering.

　This is the difference between Soviet and American ideas.

　"Well, and even if the officer uses twenty

　Even if he was promoted to general within a few years and stayed with his wife, he might not be able to stay with her until the end."

　Zhao Qiuniang, who was lying on Fili's crotch and continuing to serve him with her tongue, couldn't help but spit out the contents in her mouth again and interrupted again, "Those who become officials all hope to get promoted, get rich, and kill their wives, or find a reason to divorce their wives and get a new young and beautiful wife.

　I'm afraid there aren't even half as many officials who can stay with their wives through their poverty and hardships until the end, right?"

　Hearing this, Marita looked around at the dazzling array of beautiful bodies with a complicated expression. She put her arm around Fili's neck and sighed, "Ah, you're right. When I almost became the First Lady of Cuba, I didn't accompany Castro into the jungle to fight guerrilla warfare!"

　Feri suddenly felt even more embarrassed when Marita used her own example to prove her point.

　When Castro first seized power in Cuba and wanted to marry Marita, he actually had many mistresses. Even back when he was a bandit in the mountains, he had already slept with several female guerrillas and had more than one child with them.

　But in the end, Castro did not end up with any of his female comrades from the revolutionary period, but instead married a younger woman.

　-Even if he broke up with Marita, the person who became the First Lady of Cuba would not be some ex-girlfriend who fought guerrillas with Castro.

　Therefore, the national conditions of the United States and the Soviet Union are different. If a girl wants to be a general's wife, she does not need to marry a lieutenant first and then suffer in the frontier...

　In other words, the wives of military officers who followed their husbands to the frontier to suffer hardships had little hope of becoming generals' wives in the future. Those generals' wives were all in the upper-class social circles of New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and Chicago, drinking and dancing all day long, building connections and increasing their presence for their husbands!
