American Strategic Deception Bureau

　After all, safety and food are fundamental human needs, not entertainment and gossip. When someone is unemployed and living off their savings, or their salary doesn't cover their expenses, they likely won't have the time to discuss aliens and monsters.

　If there were bullets flying and blood gushing around them, they would have no time to care about the strange things happening far away.

　Since the beginning of this year, Los Angeles has experienced a deteriorating security situation, with robbers and thieves rife. Riots have erupted in the black neighborhood of Compton, and there's hardly a supermarket or grocery store in the city that hasn't been looted. Even luxury homes in Beverly Hills are frequently ransacked.

　What's even more terrible is that these thugs not only rob, but also frequently kill. A total of more than 18,000 people in the city have died in violent incidents such as shootings, and more than 200,000 people have been injured in violent conflicts... This does not include those poor people who were kidnapped and disappeared, and inexplicably became sacrifices of the cult.

　Los Angeles, the former City of Angels, has almost fallen to the level of a violent neighborhood in the country, let alone other cities in the United States?

　Especially in New York, which has experienced wars, massacres and nuclear explosions. Even now, electricity and running water have not been restored!

　And with winter just around the corner, I wonder how New Yorkers are going to survive this year? Are they secretly chopping down trees in Central Park for firewood?

　It is conceivable that at this time when oil prices, food prices, water prices, and electricity prices are skyrocketing every day, the US dollar exchange rate is depreciating again and again, and the general public is complaining and indignant, any anecdotes that are not related to daily life are unlikely to attract much attention and pursuit.

　"

　What a mistake, what a mistake. It seems this tactic of fabricating fake news and pseudoscience is more suitable for use abroad."

　Looking at the calm reaction in the newspapers, Fili sighed, feeling that the auspicious blessing he had brought to President Nixon's hometown seemed to be wasted.

　——Although his auspicious sign was also perfunctory, he simply used the "magic hand" to draw a hexagram pattern on the lawn of the bankrupt golf course in Yorba Linda Town, then baked the ground with magical flames, leaving burn marks, and finally disguised a poisonous mushroom that had been magically transformed and ripened to look like an oversized Ganoderma lucidum... It was considered an auspicious sign that combined Chinese and Western elements, but unfortunately it could only last for a very short time.

　In fact, if this poisonous mushroom had not been discovered, it would only last until the evening of the same day, and then it would burst and wither on its own.

　Of course, if it were a peaceful and prosperous era, this big mushroom might have become a sensation for a long time.

　But this year in the United States, shocking news broke one after another. The White House was bombed countless times, and President Nixon was assassinated almost every week. Everyone was almost numb. Although reporters still came to Yorba Linda to grab news, it was difficult to create a sensation.

　"So, your auspicious omen was nothing but empty air, right? The only good thing is that Washington didn't realize it was you who was behind this?"

　Zhao Qiuniang, naked as usual, jokingly brought over a newspaper and pointed at the article about the "Yorba Linda Giant Poisonous Mushroom" that was smaller than dried tofu. She put her hands on her hips and said sarcastically,

　"It's a big failure to make trouble without anyone noticing!"

　"Hey, everything is difficult at the beginning. You see, when you first came to our house, you were very shy and blushed all the time."

　Fili snorted, reached out and grabbed her little butt, rubbing it hard twice, then skillfully lifted Zhao Qiuniang onto his thighs, stroking and caressing her while casually teasing, "Now you can jump around freely and tease your own master, right?"

　"Who told you not to give

　I have clothes on. Do you really want to make me die of embarrassment?"

　Zhao Qiuniang rolled her eyes, but still tenderly offered her breast to Fili's hand. "What are you going to do next? Or are you just going to stop here and concentrate on raping us poor slave girls and getting us all pregnant?"

　"Ah, your preparations for pregnancy will have to wait a while, I still have to get on with my work."

　Fili sighed.

　Although I dare not say that I am a patriot with a strong character, at least I am worthy of this job.

　Regardless, as Commander-in-Chief of the Space Force and Major General of the Federal Army, I have an obligation to contribute my part to the survival of the United States.

　Ever since the flames of war in Southeast Asia and the Middle East gradually died down, the world has suddenly become too quiet.

　If we can't quickly find a way to divert attention away from the turmoil in the United States, the troubles at home will only get worse! Most of the world is hoping the chaos in the United States continues!"

　——With the end of the Fourth Middle East War and the complete withdrawal of US troops from Southeast Asia, the current world tension is actually declining rapidly.

　Israel has been completely destroyed, and will not be able to recover for at least a decade. Arab states, similarly saturated with nuclear weapons, are fragmented and harboring ulterior motives. With the collapse of the Aswan Dam and the blockage of the Suez Canal, Egypt, as the leader of the Arab League, is essentially finished, and the Arab League is paralyzed.

　Under such circumstances, unless Iran takes the initiative to attack Iraq, the entire Arab world will not be able to fight a war.

　But it is obvious that Iran, which is now "moving towards Westernization" under the rule of the Pahlavi dynasty, has no intention of launching a large-scale war.

　The Soviet Union may have appeared aggressive and aggressive, but in reality, it was merely a coward, content with its mere scramble in the Middle East. At least during Brezhnev's term, the Soviets likely had no intention of directly shattering the Iron Curtain and launching a European war down to the English Channel.

　The old European powers had already lost their martial virtues in the two world wars, and could only look at the Soviet bear breathing on them in fear.

　It is absolutely impossible to get them to initiate World War III.

　Southeast Asia was scorched by countless nuclear bombs, leaving its people in unbearable suffering and a surge in war-weariness. Vietnam, known for its martial virtues, was also the country hardest hit. Even with support from external powers, Southeast Asian nations were no longer able to launch large-scale wars abroad.

　Although the Malayan Communist Party and the Kuala Lumpur government forces continued to fight in the tropical jungles of the Malay Peninsula, the intensity of the fighting between the two sides had actually decreased significantly with the withdrawal of the US military... The red tide with red flags would at most reach the Strait of Malacca.

　Therefore, with the large-scale strategic contraction of the United States, this war-torn world is actually slowly quieting down.

　On the other hand, everyone knows that the next world situation will inevitably be "the Soviet Union attacks and the United States defends."

　But judging from various signs, the Soviet Union's new round of strategic offensive is not expected to begin until several years later.

　In other words, over the next year or two, the world will be much more peaceful than it was in the turbulent 1960s.

　However, this state of world peace is not a good thing for the devastated United States.

　Because "bearing the disgrace of the country and being the master of the country" - since the United States is the world hegemon, it is bound to bear the attention and calculations of the whole world.

　When the United States itself is in turmoil and weakness, both its former enemies and allies will try their best to continue to cause trouble for the United States, attempting to slow down the time for the United States to recover, while taking the opportunity to expand their own sphere of influence and snatch food from the mouth of the world hegemon.

　If the United States wants to avoid the dilemma of being the focus of constant fire, it has to find ways to stir up trouble around the world to divert the attention of other forces.

　——Just like when a scandal occurs in the political arena and arouses public outrage, the news media will expose true and false entertainment scandals to divert attention.

　Obviously, when facing national forces rather than ignorant people, celebrity scandals are simply not enough.

　In order to confuse their vision and disrupt their thinking, Fili believed that the only way to do this was to come up with even more exciting supernatural events!

　"

　It seems that there are too many troubles happening in the United States right now. Even if there is another extraordinary event, the number of people paying attention to it will be relatively limited, and it will be difficult to spread it abroad. It may also attract the attention of certain intelligence experts.

　Fili said to Zhao Qiuniang in his arms, "

　So, I plan to go to Europe and show the Europeans my whole work.”

　"Are you going to Europe, Master? Then will you leave us to look after the house?" Zhao Qiuniang's breathing stagnated, and she asked tentatively.

　"How is that possible? Los Angeles is so chaotic right now, how could I possibly leave you lovely girls behind and go on a long journey alone?

　It doesn't matter if all my houses in Los Angeles get robbed, but I'd be heartbroken if I lost any of you.

　So, this time when I go to Europe on business, I must take you with me! We are all family, and we should never be separated! "

　Fili smiled and took out the "Love Slave Treasure Book" from the void, "Be good, go and call everyone over, it's time to be sealed in the book."

　"Hey, being your woman is such a hard life. Next I will be made into a specimen.

　I don’t know when I’ll wake up.”

　Zhao Qiuniang curled her lips and complained, but did not object. She stood up and prepared to go to the bedroom to gather the other female slaves.

　But before leaving the living room, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Master, what are you planning to do when you go to Europe this time?"

　"Alas, fantasy isn't very popular these days, but space science fiction is incredibly popular year after year. Everyone's thinking about aliens and UFOs."

　Firi replied, "In that case, I'll use magic to fake science fiction! Give Europeans a little alien shock!"

　As he spoke, he looked toward the distant West. "Don't the British tabloids always say that their crop circles have mysterious powers and are related to aliens? Well, I'll really give them an 'alien flying saucer'!"

　Chapter 528: Stonehenge and Alien UFOs

　Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, Southwest England

　This rural wilderness, far from the city, has been sparsely populated since ancient times, with rolling chalk hills as the only landscape.

　So, just as the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force has long used the Aokigahara Forest of Mount Fuji, where "there are more ghosts than people", as a training ground, the desolate and remote Salisbury Plain is also one of the most important actual combat training grounds for the British Army on its home soil since World War II.

　The last few remaining tanks of the British Empire usually run around on Salisbury Plain, leaking oil.

　However, ever since a pile of strange large rocks scattered on the Salisbury Plain gradually attracted the attention of historians and archaeologists, the originally unknown and sparsely visited Salisbury Plain has gradually attracted more tourists and even become a must-visit destination for foreigners visiting the UK.

　After all, not every country has such a large-scale prehistoric site called "Stonehenge".

　No one knows why the ancient inhabitants of Great Britain, who were still in the Stone Age around 2500 BC, spent enormous amounts of manpower and resources and worked so hard to create such a man-made wonder?

　In the absence of even metal, the British ancestors, armed with crude stone tools, first had to chisel out at least fifty large stones, each weighing 20 to 50 tons, from a quarry 28 kilometers away. They then painstakingly transported them another 28 kilometers, employing 600 people to pull each stone all the way to Salisbury Plain. Then, they erected the stones one by one to form this stone fence...

　Not to mention how they dragged the boulder such a long distance, what was the point of all this trouble?

　Unable to fathom why the island's ancient inhabitants, with their extremely underdeveloped productivity and technological background, could have built such a massive spectacle, Stonehenge became the subject of numerous mystical legends in 20th-century Europe and the United States, with theories ranging from lost ancient civilizations to the remains of alien visitors. The theories were endless and no consensus arose.

　In order to attract tourists and develop tourism, the locals simply used the mysterious legend of Stonehenge as a gimmick, and the legend became more and more outrageous, almost saying that it was the Atlanteans of the ancient civilization or some "ancient aliens" who built Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain.

　In addition to Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, 80% of the crop circles in the UK also appear in Wiltshire, where Stonehenge stands.

　Some of these crop circles even appear less than 300 meters away from Stonehenge!

　Therefore, Wiltshire has become a hotspot for "unsolved mysteries of the world" in the UK, and various prehistoric civilization enthusiasts, UFO enthusiasts, archaeologists and historians have flocked here.

　There are also some writers and poets who have never been here, but they talk nonsense based on a few photos. They use their imagination to connect Stonehenge and crop circles with concepts such as aliens, lost ancient civilizations, and Atlantis, and make up all kinds of fantastic legends.

　Of course, these unsolved mysteries of the world have largely lost their appeal since the 20th century, and ultimately, no eye-opening research has yielded anything more than the repetitive, outlandish theories of "folk scientists."

　But now, a certain time traveler who is eager to create chaos in the world is planning to "make" some of these things real...

　-

　Although the North Atlantic Current provides year-round heating, there is still a hint of coolness in the wind in southern England in the golden October.

　Especially when it is still late at night, standing in the wheat field next to Stonehenge, facing the howling evening wind, it feels even colder.

　"A-choo! We're at Stonehenge now. What should we do next? Where's the alien UFO you prepared?"

　Despite being wrapped in a black windbreaker with a hood, Marita sneezed in the evening breeze.

　She was gazing at the Stonehenge bathed in moonlight in the distance, shivering with her arms folded, and complaining, "I finally made it to England, but I didn't even get to go to the city of London. As soon as I got off the plane, they took me straight to this rural place!

　I also want to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London, and stroll around Hyde Park and Regent Street!

　This Stonehenge is said to be a popular tourist attraction, but it really doesn’t look that great!

　——Although in those magazines about the world's unsolved mysteries, the giant

　The Stonehenge is praised as a wonder, but in reality, the real Stonehenge is probably not that spectacular in the eyes of modern people:

　After all, it's just a pile of four-meter-high rocks, perhaps not even as tall as many residential gates, and it's all crooked. If you don't recognize the appearance of Stonehenge, then from a distance, at first glance, you might mistake it for an unfinished building!

　"My dear, the fact that the ancestors of Great Britain more than four thousand years ago were able to build something like this is already legendary. You can't expect these barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood to be able to build such magnificent pyramids as the Egyptians of the same era, right?

　Besides, we’re not here for tourism this time, we’re agents! Agents! We’re on a mission this time!”

　Fieri, also wearing a black trench coat, looked helplessly at the undeservedly named "CIA flower" beside him. "If we were really here for tourism, I wouldn't have to get a fake passport, dye my hair black, and come to the UK in disguise."

　- Although Firi nominally worked in the CIA for many years, he had never actually been a formal overseas spy.

　However, with the training he received in the bureau, the experience he had gained over the years, and the authority granted by the president, it was easy for him to get a fake passport and tourist visa for himself and Marita, and then secretly enter the UK via a passenger plane via Canada.

　In fact, even if he was not a CIA member, as long as he had some connections in society, he could also handle such a trivial matter as forging certificates.

　After all, from the 20th century to the 21st century, the United States has been a country where false certificates are rampant.

　In American schools alone, nearly half of all students have a jumble of fake documents, allowing them to buy cigarettes and alcohol, stay in hotels, enter bars, and visit adult clubs before reaching legal age. There are so many that it's impossible to keep track. And the police are too lazy to investigate—in the United States, identity issues are handled by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but ICE officials sit in offices all day and rarely go out on the streets to check people's documents.

　Even illegal immigrants are rarely caught after crossing the border and entering the United States - unless someone reports them.

　In the 2020s, the United States had a population of only 300 million, but the number of registered identities online exceeded one billion.

　So, where are the remaining 700 million people? Are they all ghosts? Obviously, these are just registered fake identities.

　In the United States at that time, there were even special fake license websites that could make you a fake driver's license for just fifteen dollars.

　Of course, half a century ago, in 1970, the fake ID business in the United States was also booming. There were powerful fake ID dealers in any major city. As long as you had money, you could make any kind of fake ID!

　——It is said that some agencies under the CIA and FBI are also secretly doing "high-end fake certificate" private work to earn extra money...

　"Of course I know you came to England for serious business, that's why I followed you to this rural area."

　Marita curled her lips and said, "So, could you please finish your work here quickly so that we can go sightseeing in London?"

　"OK! OK! My flying saucer is ready! Here, this is it."

　Firi nodded in response and took out a flying saucer model from his personal space... well, it was only 30 centimeters in diameter.

　Looking at the tiny flying saucer, Marita was stunned.

　"Uh, what use could such a small flying saucer have? Are you planning to use Stonehenge as a backdrop for a special photography video?"

　"Hey, don't underestimate it! This thing is a flying saucer model used in the filming of the Hollywood sci-fi movie 'Barbara'. The real thing is bigger than a car! Even though it's just an empty shell, it's enough to scare people.

　I managed to get it back, repainted it, renovated it, and reinforced it, until it became what it is today."

　Firi explained, "It looks smaller now because I used the Shrinking Technique to shrink it."

　Next, Fili crouched low and silently soared into the air. After confirming that no one was around, he flew directly to the stone beam between two stone pillars in Stonehenge. At the top of the beam, invisible from the ground, he lowered the flying saucer model that had been shrunk using the "shrinking magic".

　Then he returned to where he started and spoke to Marita, who was folding her arms.

　"Okay, dear, I'm going to remotely control the situation and give the British a wonderful "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" performance. Look, do I take you to a nearby hotel to sleep? Or do I seal you into the "Love Slave Treasure Book"? "
