American Strategic Deception Bureau

　During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States faced the Iron Curtain in Europe.

　A huge number of nuclear weapons were deployed along the USSR, especially at the US military bases in Europe in West Germany. As a result, the USSR and the Eastern European bloc accused the US of deliberately destroying peace and threatening European security.

　But in fact, the United States is not that proactive in deploying nuclear weapons in Europe. Instead, European countries are much more proactive.

　Why? Because, unlike the European Union, which later superficially achieved initial unity, European countries, torn apart by the Iron Curtain during the Cold War and riddled with internal conflicts, truly lacked the power to compete with either the United States or the Soviet Union. Even theoretical independence was out of the question!

　Therefore, as a very ironic fact, for the second and third-rate countries in Western Europe during the Cold War, allowing the United States to deploy nuclear weapons on their own territory was actually a more reasonable choice, under the premise that "the United States must maintain a large-scale military presence in Europe."

　Because, according to the views of most Europeans at the time, once a nuclear war broke out between the United States and the Soviet Union, it would inevitably escalate and get out of control. Both the United States and the Soviet Union understood this, which increased the cost of the United States participating in the war, and in turn restrained the United States from rashly provoking a war in Europe.

　On the other hand, if the US military did not deploy nuclear weapons in Europe and simply fought a conventional war in Europe, then the United States could completely fight the Soviet Union to create ruins in Europe and then withdraw - for the United States, as long as the Soviet Union was defeated, no matter what price Europe had to bear, it could bear it.

　However, Europeans, who had experienced two world wars in less than half a century, could not bear to see their homes turned into scorched earth and rubble again.

　So, they decided to fight fire with fire: have the United States deploy nuclear weapons in Europe, with the lowest possible threshold for use, preferably immediately after the outbreak of war. This would deter the Soviet Union, but the more practical benefit was to use the danger of a war spiraling out of control to tie the United States down, and in turn use the Soviet Union to threaten the United States.

　As a result, during the Cold War, it was actually Europe that was the loudest in its calls for nuclear war, frequently threatening to use nuclear weapons against the Soviet Union. In order to appease its European allies and demonstrate its determination that "the United States must stick with its allies to the end," the United States had no choice but to delegate command of nuclear missiles to its front lines.

　Of course, just as the dog that bites doesn't bark, the dog that barks the loudest doesn't bite.

　The Europeans who frequently clamored for nuclear war in that era did not really want their own country to become a sea of ​​fire. It was just that in the context of Europe's inability to escape the military presence of the United States and the Soviet Union and its internal integration, they had to use the "cliff tactic" to ensure that the United States and the Soviet Union could not unilaterally ravage Europe.

　However, in this mutated timeline today, Europeans have discovered to their horror that their past plans seem to be going to fail!

　The outbreak of a nuclear war did not seem as difficult as they had previously imagined. Instead, it was as easy as a local conflict.

　In the 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union were already engaged in a nuclear war, with two nuclear wars breaking out, with a total of more than 200 million tons of TNT equivalent of nuclear bombs dropped. However, neither of them escalated completely and got out of control into a world-destroying war. Instead, they tacitly maintained the level and scale of "local nuclear war".

　The only countries and nations that are truly ravaged by nuclear explosions and whose homes are turned into radioactive scorched earth are those that are unfortunately caught in the war zone!

　Thanks to the widespread use of television in Europe, the European people can vividly remember the tragedy that Vietnam suffered and are horrified by it.

　——Who knows if the tragedies of nuclear war that occurred in Cuba and Southeast Asia will one day happen in Europe?

　Since the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, can fight a nuclear war in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, they can certainly fight a nuclear war in Europe!

　Who knows if the mushroom clouds that are rising over Hanoi and Bangkok will one day also rise over Frankfurt and Amsterdam?

　As a result, except for the two permanent members of the UN Security Council, Britain and France, which already possess nuclear weapons, the small and medium-sized countries in Western Europe that rely on the protection of the US military generally developed a nuclear panic, fearing that the nuclear weapons deployed by the US military on their own territory would attract a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.

　All of a sudden, the idea of ​​withdrawing US military nuclear weapons from Europe became a strong trend among the European people, intellectuals, and politicians!

　——Of course, similar anti-nuclear thoughts also occurred in Eastern European countries across the Iron Curtain.

　However, on the one hand, the Soviet Union had a stronger control over Eastern European countries. On the other hand, the Soviet Union's core territory was in Europe. Even if it only deployed nuclear weapons on its own territory, it could immediately bomb Western Europe in the event of a full-scale war.

　In other words, if the US military did not deploy nuclear weapons in its European allies, it would have to withdraw its nuclear umbrella to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and there would be no time to adjust once a war broke out. But even if the Soviet Union did not deploy nuclear weapons in its Eastern European allies, it only retreated a few hundred kilometers.

　Therefore, although it was the European allies who invited the US military to deploy nuclear weapons, it is now the US military that is unwilling to withdraw its nuclear weapons from Europe.

　Because it's just a matter of face: If you small countries want nuclear weapons stationed in the Pentagon, the US has to ship them in; if you don't want them anymore, the US has to ship them away? Hey, what's wrong with this lordly behavior? Do you really think the US military is just your hired bodyguards and doormen?

　More importantly, if nuclear weapons were withdrawn from Europe at a time when the US military was forced to withdraw from Vietnam, it would easily create a situation where the US was losing ground on both the eastern and western fronts, further weakening the world's confidence in the US as the "leader of the free world."

　To this end, the European

　Dr. Kissinger, who is active in Europe, would want to take various "abnormal channels" and try to use the title of the Space Force Commander-in-Chief to slightly reverse the anti-nuclear weapons trend in Europe that is trying to "disarm itself" through methods such as "academic exchanges."

　- Regardless of whether this effort is in vain, he must at least pretend to be working and let the White House know that even if he has no credit, he has worked hard.

　As a long-term partner, Fieri naturally had to give Kissinger face and help him when he faced a mess.

　But what Firi didn't know was that the "academic exchange" trip to Europe he was planning had to be canceled before it even started.

　Because, on the other side of the Pacific, there is a mess that is bigger and more urgent than that in Europe, waiting for him and Kissinger to clean up...

　Author's words: PS: The story of Israeli Mossad agents traveling thousands of miles to assassinate Nazi officials after World War II was initially glorified as national revenge.

　But it was later discovered that the Zionists who founded Israel were collaborators with Nazi Germany, whose anti-Semitism campaigns drove European Jews to Palestine. The Mossad assassinations after World War II were designed to silence Nazi officials who liaised with the Zionists. Horrifyingly, many of Israel's founding fathers had served in Nazi concentration camps, where their job was to identify their fellow Jews, stuff them into concentration camps, and then transport them to Palestine. However, with the sea route cut off, they were forced into gas chambers.

　Chapter 454: Goodbye Monroe

　"Marita!"

　"Marilyn!"

　In the warm afternoon sun, on the quiet streets of Eden Town, an experimental upscale nudist community in the San Fernando Valley, two voluptuous, naked red-haired beauties shouted with joy and threw themselves at each other.

　Completely ignoring the gazes of others, they embraced each other sweetly in broad daylight, their two pairs of round breasts pressed together, their pink buds pushing against each other... Then, the two naked women even... Wow, a wet kiss in public! Their tongues were tangled together!

　Phili stuck his head out of the second-floor window of the apartment and looked at his wife Marita in confusion. He suddenly met the sexy beauty Marilyn Monroe, who had already married and retired to become a housewife, at the door of the apartment. For a moment, they were "overjoyed" and hugged each other and began to bite each other passionately.

　I have to say that the scene of two naked beauties kissing each other passionately is really full of indescribable temptation.

　Especially when one of them is the sexy beauty with fiery red lips, Marilyn Monroe, whose fragrance is famous all over the world!

　——Even though Marilyn Monroe is now a mother of three children and is no longer young, she has not dyed her hair blonde...

　But thanks to her natural beauty and a bit of supernatural power bestowed upon her by a time traveler out of kindness and goodwill, even though she is over 40 years old, she still looks like an ageless beauty, exuding a mature charm like a fine wine.

　Add to that the fame of Marilyn Monroe, the "national treasure goddess"... uh...

　Even though Fili had just poured his essence into Marita, he suddenly felt something stirring between his legs.

　So, Filip awkwardly leaned on the second-floor window and waved with an awkward smile to his equally embarrassed old acquaintance on the street below, Monroe's big bootlicker husband DiMaggio. DiMaggio, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, had to wave back to Filip uncomfortably.

　"Okay, okay, Marilyn, we're just outside our house... Why are you here? Visiting?"

　It was not until this time that Marita realized that there were outsiders watching around, and she quickly pushed away the naked beauty in her arms with a blush.

　"No problem! The whole of America has seen my nude photos anyway! As for why I came here?"

　The naked Monroe patted her trembling breasts boldly, continued to hold Marita's hand, and said with a smile, "Of course it's because I bought a house here! It's right next door to yours! What do you think of this house?"

　She pointed to a small villa across from the apartment and said to Marita, "Let's continue to be good neighbors in the future!"

　"Huh? You moved into Eden Town, too? This nudist community?"

　Marita was stunned when she heard this. "Well... although I know you have always had a habit of being naked at home, and it does feel more relaxed and stress-relieving, but being naked at home is one thing, but how would your husband agree to move your home to a nudist camp?"

　She looked curiously at DiMaggio, who was standing shirtless and dragging a suitcase, and the naked black female nanny with the children, and asked curiously.

　As an old-school, traditional man, Monroe's current husband, the legendary baseball player DiMaggio, certainly doesn't mind his beloved wife staying naked at home. But he probably wouldn't be happy to see his wife go out naked.

　Previously, he moved his family to Los Angeles because there were always naked hippies camping around his house in San Francisco.

　Why did this gentleman, who was once old-fashioned, suddenly change his mind?

　"Ah, of course he had to agree, because he, like me, was already a 'Tantric Master'."

　Monroe curled her lips. "If he puts on clothes and shoes, he'll lose his super powers—so he'll have to get naked with me!"

　——Because of the

　His momentary kindness and generosity made DiMaggio the oldest "Tantric Master" in the world.

　Furthermore, thanks to the backdoor opened by Fili, the instigator, he and Monroe soared straight into the sky, not stopping at level 5 like the others. Instead, they gradually upgraded to the maximum level 10 Pink Class Tantric Master, gaining the full set of Tantric Master Pink skills, from Touch of Joy, "H Healing", "Immunity to H Disease", "Bonus H Skill", "H Purification", Pregnancy Control, to "Perfect Body"!

　So, after a brief ecstasy, DiMaggio fell into deep entanglement.

　This is not because he is a Christian and has a devout faith in God - there are really few devout people in the American cultural, sports and entertainment circles.

　Rather, it's because I want to be like the tantric master in "The Pink Book." While I don't have to abstain from alcohol, sex, or smoking, I do have to abstain from clothing, shoes, and socks—occasionally, if I briefly break the rules, I might be able to get away with it. But if I were to dress neatly and constantly like an ordinary person, I'd surely lose my way and become a mere mortal.

　In this case, wouldn't DiMaggio find himself becoming the hippie he once despised the most, wandering around barefoot and shirtless every day?

　But for DiMaggio to break his vow and give up this experience of returning to youth, feeling strong and energetic...

　Then, he would absolutely not agree to it.

　Since he didn't want to give up his health and youth, DiMaggio had no choice but to break the moral line and convince himself: nudity is not a sin, but lewdness is. Wearing less clothes is not necessarily unseemly, but being unkempt and slovenly is the sign of a barbarian.

　Just like the lifeguards on the beach, they don’t need to be ashamed to show off their muscles every day, and they should not be regarded as different...

　In this way, under self-hypnosis, DiMaggio, who was reluctant to give up his extraordinary power, finally gave up his shame and so-called "decency".

　But even if he convinced himself, social awkwardness was unavoidable.

　So, birds of a feather flock together, and to avoid the daily embarrassment and meet some extraordinary people like themselves, DiMaggio and the Monroes moved to the fashionable town of Eden in the San Fernando Valley and became neighbors with Ferry and Marita again...

　Listening to Marita and Ms. Monroe chattering downstairs, Phili, who had roughly figured out the whole story, couldn't help but smile mischievously.

　Sure enough, human beings are such creatures that are both very stubborn and very flexible.

　Sixteen years ago, DiMaggio couldn't stand seeing Monroe wearing revealing clothes on the movie screen.

　Eight years ago, even if Monroe wanted to take nude photos in Playboy, he would have accepted it.

　By now, he can live in a nudist camp with Monroe naked, and the bottom line of this gentleman has been lowered all the way.

　But in fact, there is still room for further downward adjustment - DiMaggio now regards himself as a loving model husband, at least he has never cheated on the surface.

　But he was now a high-level Tantric master capable of H therapy. If a terminally ill woman came to him with money and begged, and Monroe couldn't help but feel sympathy and nodded in approval... would DiMaggio treat her or not?

　I guess, influenced by the atmosphere of Eden Town, a "supernatural power training base", most people would still use the whip to save people, right?

　This obviously means once again significantly lowering the moral bottom line...

　Ah, this is the so-called broken window effect! Fili thought with a wicked smile.

　When the first person who breaks a moral bottom line is praised instead of punished, a second and third person will soon follow suit. Only after the arguments and struggles over a certain bottom line have come to an end can a new moral bottom line be re-established.

　At the same time, Firi also discovered that in order to maintain health and longevity, and to adapt to the sudden arrival of supernatural powers, Westerners are really able to change.

　——It has only been a few years since the movie "The Departure of the Gods" which he directed, and nudist camps are already everywhere in Europe and the United States. The rich and powerful in the Western upper class have quickly stopped caring about being well-dressed and are now showing off their muscular bodies, taking pride in wearing less.

　Japan has even stepped up its game. It is said that even the "nude schools" that were briefly popular during World War II are now everywhere in Tokyo!

　Well, could it be that Japan in this timeline has become the real-life H country of Xiaohuangyou?

　As for the censorship of nude photos and films, in the United States, it has plummeted to almost zero. Even programs like "nude news" and "nude variety shows" can be openly shown on television, allowing viewers of all ages to admire the female hosts' big breasts and round buttocks.

　Such a rapid and drastic change made Fili, the instigator, a little bit unbelievable and deeply pleased.

　Unfortunately, the scope of the broken window effect in this dimension not only involves sexy nudity, but also the horror of nuclear war.

　If we say that when World War II just ended, all countries regarded nuclear bombs as weapons of destruction of civilization, and only used them for deterrence and did not dare to use them easily.

　Since the Cuban battlefield set a precedent for nuclear war, followed by the mutual nuclear explosions on the Indochina Peninsula, the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons by both camps has clearly been greatly lowered—especially since nuclear proliferation has become a foregone conclusion and miniature nuclear bombs are being sold or distributed all over the world. Even if the five permanent members of the UN Security Council restrain themselves from launching a nuclear war, smaller countries will brazenly launch nuclear explosions to flatten their opponents.

　More

　Not to mention, Red China, which already possesses nuclear weapons, has not yet been able to return to the United Nations, and the constraints of various international treaties are ineffective against it.

　- Overall, after experiencing the two nuclear wars in Cuba and Vietnam, or after desensitization, the risk of a full-scale nuclear war breaking out directly between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the destruction of modern civilization, has actually been greatly reduced.

　But on the other hand, the risk of a local nuclear war breaking out on both sides of the Iron Curtain was suddenly raised a lot.

　Because everyone knows that dropping a few nuclear bombs on the battlefield will not immediately trigger the Third World War that will destroy the world.

　So, since it is just a local confrontation, why not use all the nuclear arsenals in our hands to see whose nuclear bomb is more powerful?

　Although many people on both sides of the Iron Curtain, including many high-ranking officials, wanted to control the game to a certain level of intensity, or at least maintain controllable rationality and avoid the occurrence of nuclear war, no one could easily stop the tank that was diving down.

　In other words, the US and the Soviet Union had indeed drawn a new Cold War bottom line: "no nuclear bombings on each other's home fronts," but without any restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons in other overseas battlefields. Each side was competing to see whose nuclear bombs were more powerful and whose nuclear strike tactics were more sophisticated.

　But this is almost impossible for countries other than the United States and the Soviet Union to accept: Who would want their own country to be turned into a nuclear test site?

　More importantly, they not only had to watch their homeland become a nuclear test site, but also had to serve as guinea pigs for nuclear radiation tests themselves...

　Therefore, when the United States' European allies discovered that "nuclear war" was no longer a paper tiger to scare people, but a "doomsday" that could happen at any time, they were naturally scared out of their wits, fearing that the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear attack because the US military had deployed nuclear bombs on their own territory!

　——The land crushed by the tracks of Soviet tanks can still be used to grow crops, but how can there be any human habitation in the radioactive wasteland that was hit by a Soviet nuclear bomb?

　At present, the United States is unable to ease the situation, guarantee its allies that there will be no accidental conflict with the Soviet Union, and has no ability to intercept Soviet nuclear bombs.

　——Even the most primitive anti-missile missile system could not be initially implemented until the 1980s, and it is still just a science fiction gimmick.

　In other words, after the US military deploys nuclear weapons, it is really possible that the top of the head will have to withstand Soviet nuclear bombs. Who can bear this?

　Of course, some spiritual Soviets or Americans don't care at all. After happily turning their homeland into a radioactive wasteland and turning their compatriots into mutants, they rush back to their spiritual homeland to claim credit for their deeds.

　However, foreigners with this kind of spirit usually have low IQ and poor abilities, and it is difficult for them to sit firmly on the throne of ruler for a long time in any country.

　Furthermore, the influence of McCarthyism in the United States had only been eradicated a mere decade ago, and the soft power in the cultural sphere was still far from sufficient. It was difficult to achieve deep manipulation and control over the political arenas of European countries. Even if one wanted to foster a puppet to power, it wouldn't be that easy.

　As for "speaking with strength" and relying on military pressure, the shameful performance on the battlefield in Vietnam also made American diplomats feel embarrassed:

　——The US military lost a battle with such a huge disparity in strength, so Washington naturally cannot speak with confidence.

　Therefore, regarding Dr. Kissinger's various "non-governmental diplomatic activities" to prevent European allies from expelling US nuclear weapons, Fieri expressed a profound pessimism about their prospects. While the US military could brazenly refuse to withdraw its nuclear weapons, expecting the allies not to protest was sheer wishful thinking.

　However, since Dr. Kissinger is still "pretending to work hard on public relations" in Europe, then as his old partner, Fieri naturally has no choice but to help.

　However, when Phiri made a long-distance call with Dr. Kissinger, who had just returned to Washington, at the agreed time to discuss his next European trip, he received an unexpected piece of news.

　"Eh? I don't need to go to Europe to help with PR? Because there's a more urgent mess in Asia?
