American Strategic Deception Bureau

　Compared to the Yamato Nadeshiko girls of Japan and the tropical hotties of Bali, is there anything particularly attractive about Korean girls?

　You have to remember that the plastic surgery industry in South Korea isn't very developed these days, and global medical aesthetics technology is still in its infancy, far from the 21st century's ubiquitous artificial beauties. Most tea girls probably don't look nearly as good as their Japanese counterparts.

　The future of K-Pop idols is undoubtedly a buzzword with little impact. The annual net profits of several major Korean idol companies are less than the sum of the game Genshin Impact. But right now, K-Pop is practically silent, and using idols as a brand is impossible!

　The software is not good, and the hardware is even worse - how can the messy and dilapidated houses in Itaewon compare with the tropical beaches and Japanese hot springs?

　Just because it's cheap? Then why don't American soldiers go to the red-light district in Mumbai, India? The curry girls there are probably even cheaper!

　Regarding this issue, Dr. Kissinger said that President Park Chung-hee was a decent man and did not say anything explicitly.

　But some chaebols and officials from South Korea came to him and secretly discussed the possibility of opening up a differentiated market. In addition to the standard erotic services, the red-light district in South Korea could also offer some more intense and exciting activities, from bloody death fights to erotic nude fights, psychedelic drug parties, horrific death gambling, and killing games. Everything was available in Itaewon.

　In addition, there are various S&M series of punishments and training, various cults' living blood sacrifices and sexual sacrifices, and howling little loli and little boys...

　Given the rampant nature of Korean cults, there are all kinds of crazy ways of playing that foreign consumers can't imagine, but there is nothing that Koreans can't do!

　Even if there are really customers who like transgender people, South Korea can also produce a group of transsexuals and eunuchs.

　Such explicit words made Fili gasp in surprise:

　Are we going to play the real version of the squid game? Koreans are still crazy and inhumane.

　It's so cruel!

　However, as the saying goes, "To be successful, you must first go crazy."

　After going to such a crazy extent to make money in US dollars, Itaewon in Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea may really surpass other competitors in this market. By taking a dark and cruel route and using the flesh and blood of its people, it has carved out a bloody road to making money.

　After all, Bali's nudist camp, while ostensibly a place of revelry and debauchery, is actually a "superpower training base." Americans can indeed have as much fun as they want with the nude female prisoners in Bali. But they must behave with utmost respect and absolutely no violence, or they will be severely punished by the military police. These are the superpowers who will save the lives of wealthy men in the future. How could you possibly mess with them?

　Therefore, those well-behaved soldiers and tourists can naturally hold the docile Javanese girls in Bali and have fun every day.

　But for those who have dark desires in their hearts, they will feel that this place is not violent enough, bloody enough, or exciting enough.

　In addition, there are only adult women on Bali (although the adult standard is fourteen years old), no little loli or little shota, and no "wrong posture (backdoor)" sexual services are provided, which may make some guys with strange fetishes feel bored.

　In short, because Bali's scenery is not sunny enough and not hot enough, many perverts cannot be satisfied.

　Similarly, in today's economically booming Japan, while there are numerous entertainment venues, with Tokyo's Kabukicho having been renowned since the Meiji Restoration, Japanese prostitutes are generally reluctant to serve European and American clients, or are keen to overcharge. Furthermore, even if ordinary American soldiers wanted to have fun in Japan, they generally had to abide by certain basic rules and were not allowed to do whatever they wanted.

　Even though American soldiers often raped Japanese female students with impunity, and the Japanese courts simply ignored the verdicts, they were usually transferred back to Japan afterward, and their future prospects were greatly affected—they just didn't go to jail, but the criminal record remained.

　In this way, American soldiers who don't want to pay too much but want to satisfy their dark desires, as well as ordinary American tourists, will probably be attracted by Itaewon in South Korea, which is preparing to take a dark, perverted and cruel route, and are willing to come here and spend a lot of money.

　However, even the now impoverished Koreans, driven to earn foreign exchange, have completely lost their dignity and are even planning to set up slave arenas and torture shows in Seoul to attract tourists. But what does this have to do with Ferry and Colonel Alexander Haig?

　Listening to Dr. Kissinger's detailed explanation, Phiri was very interested at first, but soon he began to have the above doubts.

　However, before he could ask, Dr. Kissinger took the initiative to solve the mystery: "In short, this is roughly the situation in South Korea. In the future, a large part of the unused land and buildings at the Yongsan US military base will be converted into a special entertainment venue. So, I want to ask, does either of you want to be the commander of the US forces in Korea?"

　Ferry and Colonel Alexander Haig: Me? Commander of the United States Forces Korea? Are you kidding me?!

　, which are held by two people respectively.

　At that time, the commander of the US Forces Korea will only be responsible for managing the US troops stationed there, and the commander of the US-ROK Combined Forces will be responsible for supervising the South Korean troops..."

　According to Dr. Kissinger, the number of U.S. troops stationed in South Korea would be reduced to about 2,000 during the remainder of President Nixon's term.

　Such a small number of troops is obviously not enough to control hundreds of thousands of South Korean troops in South Korea, where universal military service is practiced.

　Therefore, even if South Korea pleads with the US military to continue commanding its forces, the next US Army four-star general appointed to replace the soon-to-be-removed commander of US Forces Korea would be expected to moderate his authority and delegate responsibility to the South Koreans, relegating him to a more "general advisor" role. In this scenario, the next commander of the combined US-ROK forces could assume command with a small team and would not necessarily be required to concurrently serve as commander of US Forces Korea.

　Of the remaining 2,000 US troops in South Korea, over half were Marines directly under the embassy's command, along with guards and civilian personnel from the Combined Forces Korea Command. In other words, the US military personnel actually under the command of the US Forces Korea commander totaled only a few hundred, no more than a regiment, barely enough to serve as bodyguards for the Itaewon entertainment district. Therefore, the US Forces Korea commander only needed to hold the rank of brigadier general or major general.

　Kissinger predicted that Itaewon would become a paradise of decadence, like the Colosseum, Las Vegas, and London's Soho. While it would likely be bloody and brutal, with scores of people killed and maimed daily, at least there would be real money to be made.

　As the American military commander in charge of the local area, he can definitely make some money and take the opportunity to build a lot of connections.

　——Just like Epstein who created Lolita Island and P. Diddy who held wild parties in later generations.

　The reputation is certainly not good, but the United States' reputation has already fallen to the bottom, so it doesn't matter if it is smeared a little bit.

　Moreover, if he becomes the commander of the US forces in South Korea, according to convention, his rank will definitely be raised by one or even two levels.

　In other words, if Phili goes to South Korea, he can become lieutenant general, and Colonel Haig can become brigadier general or major general if he goes to South Korea.

　Fili wasn't particularly interested in a promotion. After all, he was already a major general, and without the corresponding authority, a promotion would be nothing more than a face-saving gesture. He didn't see a chance of becoming a four-star general in his lifetime, but he did have some hope of becoming a cabinet minister.

　As a cult "son," Firi was somewhat interested in the future of cults in South Korea. In particular, the Unification Church, which had driven countless Japanese people to the point of destruction and created "Reiwa's top assassin and Japan's top male gunner," Tetsuya Yamagami, was probably already taking shape.

　Fili was very curious about this and wanted to know how the Korean leader broke through the barriers of national culture and spread his cult all over the world.

　(When I first heard the name of the Unification Church, I thought it was an organization dedicated to the unification of North and South Korea. However, I didn't know that the South Korean leader's ambition was much greater. The "unification" in the church's name doesn't mean unifying the Korean Peninsula, but unifying the world!)

　However, South Korea is currently too poor, too run-down, and too backward. Its cityscapes resemble those of 21st-century Central America, and plastic surgery hasn't yet developed its own unique Korean aesthetic, not even the rock-hard "jelly wife hard boobs." And the natural beauty of Korean women is... well, not so good.

　If I had gone to South Korea seven or eight years later, I would have had the opportunity to closely observe the "

　Fili, who was once an online "Five Scholars" before traveling through time, might be a little interested in "Hand Cannon Osamu" and a certain all-star general's "Sibisibi Kudieta".

　But it is still a long way from now for Park Chung-hee to be "eradicated". Even if Firi becomes the commander of the US forces in South Korea, he will not be able to stay until that time.

　What's more, Fieri, a kind-hearted person, is somewhat unable to accept the heavy-tasting alternative dark entertainment project that Itaewon is planning to launch.

　——Although the female slaves he collected and molested were all naked and had no clothes to wear, not even one of them was played to death!

　It's so gentle that it doesn't seem like a cult, but rather a true love affair.

　Although he wasn't a messenger of justice and could turn a blind eye to such dark atrocities, asking him to personally participate in it, even designing various aspects of the death arena and the slaughter show, was a bit too much... The benefits were not enough to drive him to endure such disgusting work.

　You know, half a year ago, even the New York Federal Reserve's vault allowed him to move money at will. Would he still be interested in this little money now?

　Next, during the Park Chung-hee military regime in South Korea, the overall social atmosphere was not stagnant, but at least it was definitely not as chaotic as in the 21st century. It was actually quite difficult to stir up trouble - you couldn't really provoke a second Korean War, right?

　As the earthquake center of Northeast Asia, once a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, it will be a collision between major powers. The intensity of this war is not comparable to the Vietnam War!

　Moreover, with the US military now retreating in large strides, if a real fight breaks out on the 38th parallel, President Nixon will be furious.

　Firi is not the Showa staff officer of the old Japanese Empire, and he is not willing to do such provocative things alone.

　As a result, serving as commander in South Korea after the Great Withdrawal would not only fail to achieve any merit, but also yield limited benefits. The allure of a promotion to lieutenant general would also be muted. Furthermore, once he became commander of US Forces Korea, he would be in the spotlight and would not be able to act freely as he does now.

　So, after thinking it over again and again, Fili chose

　I declined, thinking it would be more interesting for me to continue working in the Strategic Deception Bureau.

　Of course, if I have the spare capacity in the future, I might be able to open a branch of the Strategic Deception Bureau in South Korea.

　After all, Koreans are truly geniuses in the world of deception when it comes to fabricating history, registering intangible cultural heritage, and deceiving themselves!

　——Note: Koreans’ large-scale fabrication of history and “historical map expansion” began with President Park Chung-hee.

　When Park Chung-hee rebelled and came to power, his regime was not stable. There were many forces that did not submit to him, and the South Korean army was not necessarily very loyal to him.

　Therefore, Park Kaka wanted to promote the glorious history of the Korean nation and use the method of inspiring nationalism to highlight the legitimacy of the military government.

　But the problem is that since its establishment, Korea has been a vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty, serving the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties' servility throughout the late Goryeo period and the entire Joseon Dynasty. After getting rid of China's influence in the late Qing Dynasty, Korea directly became a Japanese colony.

　For hundreds of years, they either served China as their father or lived as slaves to Japan.

　Even after the establishment of South Korea, the upper class that ruled South Korea was still the descendants of the Korean traitors who sold out their country and pro-Japan.

　For example, Park Chung-hee himself was also known as Takagi Masao, and he fought in World War II under the sun while wearing a Japanese military uniform.

　If we tell the truth...is this building national self-esteem or destroying it?

　What to do? Park Chung-hee secretly hired people to fabricate unofficial history, writing off-the-beaten-path literature, and producing street-level reading materials such as "The History of the Great Joseon Empire."

　——If we say that some of the writings of Korean literati in the past that praised their ancestors were still limited to the Spring and Autumn style of the literati and the avoidance of words for respected people.

　So, when it came to Park Chung-hee, he was exaggerating to the extreme.

　For example, all the land north of the Yangtze River in China was once the territory of ancient Korea, and half of western Japan was once a colony of ancient Korea.

　Moreover, these outrageous Korean unofficial histories are not nonsense like China's "Xia Dynasty is ancient Egypt", which is just circulated among the people as entertainment memes, but have been included in the questions of South Korea's national civil service examination. If you want to eat the emperor's food, you have to remember these unofficial histories firmly in your mind.

　Since it has been included in the imperial examination questions, no matter how outrageous the content is, after being tested several times, it has become a public consensus in South Korea.

　Thus, "Korea once ruled most of China in ancient times" and "Asian civilization originated in Korea" have become unquestionable historical truths in the minds of a considerable number of Koreans, just like the "Three Dynasties" exaggerated by ancient Chinese Confucian scholars (which described the tribal era of Yao, Shun and Yu as a paradise-like golden age), and have created a hilarious image of Koreans as a "cosmic superpower" in the Internet age.

　I have to say that Koreans are really successful in brainwashing and fooling their own people!

　Definitely worthy of the blessing of Cyric, Prince of Lies! And by the way, it will make Tzeentch very happy!

　Therefore, Firi felt that after the Strategic Deception Bureau was developed, more Koreans and Indians should be recruited to ensure that they had the right professional match.

　Chapter 561: My chicken ribs, his honey

　However, even though Fieri, already a major general, was somewhat dismissive of the reduced position of commander of US Forces Korea, Colonel Alexander Haig, deputy director of the Strategic Deception Office, was quite enticed by Kissinger's bait, his eyes sparkling with excitement:

　No matter how much the next commander of US Forces Korea's power is reduced, it is still a springboard for him to quickly become a general!

　You know, the difficulty of being promoted from major general to lieutenant general and the resistance of a colonel to getting a general star are different in the military.

　Going from colonel to brigadier general/major general is a hurdle. Without any merit, it is not easy to climb up even if you have a deep network of connections.

　In the original historical narrative, Operation Lam Son 719, orchestrated by Colonel Alexander Haig, ran headlong into an ambush of 100,000 Viet Cong troops, inflicting heavy casualties on both the South Vietnamese and American forces involved, and losing over half of the South Vietnamese elite troops that had been painstakingly trained. However, on the surface, this costly raid did, at least, temporarily sever the Ho Chi Minh Trail and incinerate a significant amount of North Vietnamese war supplies that had been transported southward.

　Therefore, with the help of Dr. Kissinger and the Pentagon's whitewashing of military achievements, Operation Blue Mountain 719, the "final offensive of the Vietnam War" that did not make up for the cost, was packaged as a glorious victory, serving as a stepping stone for Alexander Haig to become a general and then soar to the sky.

　But in this time and space, the East Timor campaign planned by Colonel Haig not only suffered an even more devastating defeat, but also allowed the 1st Marine Division, which had been driven into retreat by the atomic bomb, to play the role of transport captain, using the massive amount of discarded American guns, artillery and ammunition to greatly enhance the firepower of the rebels.

　The Portuguese even protested because the natives used artillery left over from the US military to bombard the Portuguese colonial army positions.

　Things have become so disgraceful and embarrassing that the Pentagon has lost face internationally. Even if it wants to turn a defeat into a victory, it has no idea where to start.

　No matter how reluctant the superiors were, they had no choice but to transfer Colonel Haig to a sinecure and put him on ice temporarily as a face-saving punishment.

　So, under normal circumstances, there was no hope for Colonel Alexander Haig to become a general in the short term.

　But Dr. Henry Kissinger, the national security advisor, was sent to South Korea as the president's confidant. In addition to appeasing the allies, he also split the commander of the US Forces Korea and the commander of the US-ROK combined forces, which were originally tied together, into two.

　The position is equivalent to freeing up a vacancy for a general officer!

　As long as Colonel Alexander Haig gives the nod and Kissinger makes some arrangements, he will soon be able to go to Korea and become a general!

　The glittering star general! Which soldier could resist such temptation?

　A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!

　Even if some dirty work needs to be done for this, it seems acceptable - after all, the blame can be put on the Koreans in the future!

　Therefore, after Feeley declined, Colonel Alexander Haig immediately seized the olive branch thrown by Dr. Kissinger, saying that he was very eager to make progress and would be happy to be promoted and go to South Korea to serve as the commander of the greatly reduced US Forces Korea.

　Colonel Alexander Haig also promised that in the process of converting the Yongsan U.S. military base into the Itaewon "Special Entertainment District", he would live up to Kissinger's trust, do his best to provide escort, and eliminate all interference to achieve a win-win situation for both the United States and South Korea.

　Dr. Kissinger was also very happy and said that he would arrange this matter as soon as President Nixon returned from Europe, and hoped that Haig would do a good job in South Korea.

　Wait, is Kissinger so kind that he came all the way to Los Angeles just to give benefits and seek promotions for his new and old partners?

　No, no, no, he is actually passing the buck!

　Because, when Kissinger finished his diplomatic mission in South Korea and went to the Ryukyu Islands to inspect for President Nixon whether there was a risk of trouble on the islands scheduled to be "transferred" to the Japanese government the following year, he suddenly learned a rumor that horrified him:

　Secretary of State Rogers, who had always disliked Dr. Kissinger for his secret visit to China without the knowledge of the diplomatic system, recently seemed to be interested in having Dr. Kissinger serve as ambassador to South Korea, with the task of overseeing the demolition of the Yongsan U.S. military base and the construction and trial operation of the Itaewon "Special Entertainment Zone."

　After all, matters involving US troops stationed abroad and the host government are generally handled either by the garrison commander or the embassy.

　Since Kissinger went to South Korea and negotiated a heavy-tasting red-light district project, Secretary of State Rogers, who had long wanted to kick this Jew out of the White House, immediately took advantage of the situation and said: This matter was negotiated by Kissinger and the South Korean government, so let him be responsible for it!

　Secretary of State Rogers suggested that the president remove Kissinger from the White House as a powerful ambassador to South Korea, assigning him control of the Yongsan base and the remaining US troops stationed there, as a way to reward him for his earlier secret visit to China, which sealed the thaw in diplomatic relations between the two countries.

　The Secretary of State also told President Nixon that Dr. Kissinger had previously managed a nudist camp for female prisoners of war in Bali for a long time!

　According to Secretary of State Rogers' logic, this shows that Kissinger, this fat Jewish man, really has the potential to be a brothel madam!

　Now, isn't it a perfect match for his expertise for him to work on the project that he negotiated with the Koreans to convert the military base into a red-light district?

　But the problem is, Kissinger is determined to become Secretary of State. How could he be willing to be kicked out of the White House, the core of power?

　In front of the South Korean president, the American ambassador seemed to be arrogant and dignified, like an imperial envoy. But in the circle of power in Washington, he was at the outer edge of the outer circle.

　Just like in the old Hong Kong movies in China, the Governor of Hong Kong who seems to be as supreme and all-powerful as a local emperor, is actually just a very marginal role in the civil service system of the British Empire, and may not even get a title.

　Kissinger has worked hard for a full decade since he entered office to gain the status of "President's confidant". How could he be willing to leave the White House?

　Fortunately, President Nixon truly trusted Dr. Kissinger and ignored Secretary Rogers's slander. However, he did send someone to tip Kissinger off, instructing him to wrap up this mess as soon as possible and find a trustworthy person to go to Korea to complete the rest of the work.

　So Kissinger rushed to Los Angeles, wanting to invite Phiri or Haig to go to South Korea to help him clean up the mess.

　As it turned out, Ferry, who had already been promoted to general, showed little interest, but Haig, still a colonel, finally took the bait.

　Anyway, someone cleaned up the mess in South Korea, and Dr. Kissinger felt relieved.

　Then, he walked into the small screening room next door and watched with great interest the "alternative world pseudo-documentary" just produced by the "American Strategic Deception Bureau." Or, in other words, a dark version of "The Wizard of Oz"...
