American Strategic Deception Bureau

　Similarly, regarding the current criticism of the profession of "Tantric Master", we should also learn to be flexible and look at the problem from a developmental perspective.

　As for other extraordinary powers, extraordinary phenomena that transcend time and space, magic from other worlds, etc., we should also adopt a learning attitude and conduct research cautiously but not conservatively, rather than closing our eyes and covering our ears, choosing to turn a blind eye and pretend that none of this happened..."

　After another round of rambling speeches, Fili finally began presenting this year's Snow Wind Awards to the extraordinary individuals. These awards were presented using traditional round, gold-plated medals, each roughly the size of a palm, like an athlete's medal, and hung around the winner's neck with a ribbon. The front of each gold-plated medal was engraved with the name of the award, while the back featured a cartoon snowflake and a pattern representing a strong wind.

　First up was the "Model Worker Award," presented to Margot Lavoisier from Florida, a 22-year-old blonde nude beauty or "female tantric master" who arrived barefoot to receive her award. She had already slept with countless men at such a young age. By high school, Margot was already a household name in her hometown, a bitch so well-known that her father couldn't even go out to buy a pack of cigarettes without encountering several men who had slept with her.

　After becoming a "Tantric Master", Margot achieved the epic achievement of "killing a thousand people in bed" in just over two years. She used the H healing technique of her crotch to successfully save more than 1000 patients of various diseases, and transformed from a little bitch into a "white meat angel" who saves lives and heals the wounded.

　If even a level 5 "Tantric Master" could only use "Sexual Healing Technique" 1 to 2 times a day, she would probably be able to achieve "Ten Thousand Kills".

　Just based on the number of treatments she received that topped the annual U.S. list, it was only natural for Fieri to award her the "Model Worker in Bed" award.

　Uh, I wonder if the "Tantric Masters" in the Soviet Union also have a similar "Model Workers in Bed" selection activity?

　Anyway, the naked and bold female "Level 5 Tantric Master" Margot came up to receive the award, shaking her breasts, took a photo with Ferry, gave him a kiss as if no one was around, and then ran away giggling.

　Through hard training, they became people with super powers by practicing the "Tantric Heart Method". To date, they have trained more than 200 Tantric masters, making them the best among similar training institutions in the United States and widely acclaimed.

　Though already in her thirties, the headmistress, a master of tantric Buddhism, still possesses straight, slender legs, a slender waist, a graceful mermaid line, eight-pack abs, and a firm, perky bust. Her pretty features tinged with a certain determination, reminiscent of a heroic Amazon warrior. When she came to receive her award, she brought along four tanned female students, all of whom were completely naked, boasting large breasts, round hips, and well-proportioned figures, radiating youth. Even on the Yukikaze yacht, teeming with beauties, her youth and youthfulness were a striking sight.

　Then came the "Minority Excellence Award," and the recipient was the rising star Bruce Lee.

　Unlike the situation in the other dimension, Bruce Lee in this dimension, having become a "Tantra Master" early on, focused more on filming late-night "educational" films and "documentaries," becoming a frequent guest on television talk shows, often appearing shirtless and engaging in conversation. He even personally taught American teenagers, who lacked access to Tantra techniques, how to practice proper intercourse with their partners.

　Well, going from a martial arts star to a sex scene star seems to be a rather alternative path to success?

　The next award was for the "Best Creativity Award," which was given to a quick-witted California businessman named George. He was not a supernatural being, but he was a fan of supernatural events. His home was stocked with a bunch of street literature books about UFOs, Bigfoot, Atlantis civilization, etc.

　When he is on vacation, Mr. George would even go to the northern mountains alone with his hunting rifle and hounds to look for traces of Bigfoot.

　Of course, he ended up with nothing.

　Later, extraordinary powers descended and the "Tantric Buddhism" craze swept across the United States. George tried to practice the "Tantric Buddhism" for a while, but his waist and kidney functions were not very good, and he could not reach the threshold of becoming a "master". He never made any progress and gradually gave up.

　Last year, there was explosive news about "time travel" and "traveling to another world". The "future information" brought by the British frigate Leander from a hundred years later, and the survivors who returned from the bizarre other world, made George's heart beat again.

　He tried his best and hooked up with a woman who "returned from another world". He also tried to get to know more "female time travelers" who "returned from another world" in an attempt to find out the secret of "traveling to another world" from them, but in the end he still couldn't get the point.

　It seems that traveling to another world is completely random, with no discernible pattern. Whenever a "celestial conjunction" occurs, some unlucky or lucky person will be swept away to another world, along with their car or even their house, like a real-life version of "The Wizard of Oz." But even so, you can't just go into a tornado just to get there, right? What if you die?

　Seeing that he couldn't find a way to cross to the other world, George had no choice but to take his girlfriend to the bar to drink, but he met a Manson girl from the Manson family - now she has become a level 0 priest of the Cyric Order.

　After talking (deceiving) the other party for a while, George somehow had a flash of inspiration in his mind and started thinking in reverse:

　Although I don't know when I can travel to the magical other world, why can't I make money by preparing for the other world travel in advance?

　——In order to prepare for a nuclear war that may come at any time, Americans can spend huge amounts of wealth to build underground shelters everywhere, hold doomsday survival training camps, and store guns, canned food, bullets and medicines at home, forming a large-scale "doomsday survival mania" culture.

　So, should American citizens also take precautions and make preparations for the journey to a magical other world that may also come at an unknown time?

　Many scientists and science fiction writers have described what a post-nuclear apocalypse would look like over the years, and most Americans who care a bit about such things have some understanding of it. Furthermore, schools offer extensive education on the three defenses.

　But what does the magical world look like? How can we avoid risks, survive and develop when we travel to it?

　Well, not many people know about this yet, and quite a lot of Americans don't even have a detailed concept of it in their minds.

　Therefore, it is up to the "survivors returning from another world" to teach those ignorant and foolish mortals how to face the endless variety of monsters, the dirty and dilapidated environment, the ignorant and bizarre customs, the greedy and cunning villagers, the arrogant nobles, wizards and priests, etc.

　So, George rented a deserted costume drama film set on the outskirts of Los Angeles, got a lot of discarded Halloween party decorations, as well as unwanted outdated costume movie props and costumes, and hired a group of extras to dress it up as an "alternative world paradise" similar to the movie "Westworld" to promote a set of "alternative world adventure immersive experience tour", which is equivalent to an early version of "script killing".

　All visitors who visit his "Other World Paradise" can experience a "time-travel" simulation journey of a different level.

　After hearing about this, Firi praised George's idea. Not only did he provide him with a sum of money, but he also provided him with a lot of "secret government information" - in fact, it was the setting collection of "The Witcher" and "The Witcher 3".

　The award given to George moved this veteran paranormal enthusiast so much that he almost burst into tears in public.

　However, while Fili was saying these polite words to comfort him, he was secretly laughing in his heart: "Haha, he believed it, he really believed it!"

　Author's words: PS: In a miraculous case in Wuhan, four men secretly dismantled 12 high-voltage power towers and sold the scrap metal to make money. Their ability to make a living is comparable to that of people in Floridians.

　I've been busy with work and family lately, and my writing has hit a bottleneck. I might update fewer words every day, so please forgive me.

　Chapter 638: Australians Following the Trend

　After presenting the awards, Firi announced that the annual meeting would enter the next stage - the display of supernatural items!

　In fact, since the rise of the "travel to another world" trend last year, various "other world items" that are difficult to distinguish between true and false have become popular in the collecting world.

　However, unlike antique collections, which have evolved over the years and have many mature ways to distinguish the authenticity, there is currently no very reliable way to distinguish the authenticity of "otherworldly objects" - unless the forgery is so careless that even the serial number and origin are not worn off.

　As long as it is a handmade product made of stone, wood or bone, or homemade pottery, who can tell where it comes from?

　In the United States, labor costs are very expensive, resulting in a large number of handicraft masters among the people. Isn't it easy to make a few handicrafts and daily necessities by hand?

　So, just like Germany was full of fake Nazi Third Reich relics, the United States was also full of people selling all kinds of handmade "otherworldly items", and because the quantity was too large and too excessive, it quickly overwhelmed the potential market that had just been formed.

　Today, those "ordinary" otherworldly items have almost become synonymous with fakes in the United States, and no one takes them seriously anymore.

　However, while pottery, wooden objects, bone objects, stone objects, and handmade bronze objects are easy to copy, magical items from "another world" are simply impossible to replicate. And the items on display today aboard the Yukikaze are precisely those officially certified "magic items from another world"!

　This quickly perked up the guests present, and they all rushed forward, craning their necks to watch.

　"Is this... an infinite water cup? Can it really hold an infinite amount of fresh water?"

　Looking at the staff of the Strategic Deception Bureau displaying magic items, and watching a silver water cup about the size of a palm inlaid with a circle of gems pouring out a steady stream of gurgling spring water, Hugh Hefner couldn't help but ask Fili curiously.

　"How can it possibly produce unlimited water? At most, it can only hold about 100 gallons," Fili replied.

　"That's already pretty good. If we had this thing during the Pacific War, many of my colleagues wouldn't have gone without water for several days on the tropical islands occupied by the Japanese, and even died of thirst," Hugh Hefner said with emotion.

　——Although the styles seem to be out of place at first glance, Hugh Hefner, the "bunny girl breeder" who is full of luxury, debauchery, money and power, also served in the army during World War II, participated in the island-taking battles in the Pacific, and fought against the Japanese devils.

　Next is a "light wand," which Ferry calls a "glow stick." It's about 7 inches long and made of glass. It absorbs sunlight and converts it into magic, driving it to emit dazzling light. It's said to have the ability to drive away ghosts.

　Sounds pretty good, right?

　But the problem is that this "glow stick" cannot store energy. After absorbing sunlight, it can only turn into bright light immediately.

　When it is really night or a dark place, the "glow stick" will not light up because it cannot absorb light from the outside world.

　"It glows in the sun and goes out in the dark? Isn't that just as weird and useless as an electric light that turns on during the day and goes out at night?"

　George, who founded the "Other World Paradise", looked at the "Glow Stick" for a while and complained to Fili, and Fili was speechless.

　In addition to the "glow stick", there is also a "frozen stick" made of similar material - it is actually an ice element magic wand. As long as it is inserted into the cup and activated, it can freeze a cup of drink and even cover the cup with a layer of frost... It is also only for showing off.

　The next exhibits were two magic rings, one of which was inlaid with a ruby ​​and could eject a small flame - in fact, it was a magic lighter. It could only be lit once a day, and then you had to wait for it to slowly recover its magic power. It was not as useful as an ordinary lighter.

　Of course, if you want to show off by lighting a glass of vodka in a bar, this thing is definitely more stylish than lighters and matches.

　The other ring is inlaid with a blue gem, which stores the energy of the water element. It can condense one or two water balls every day and launch them three meters away, splashing water on the target's face - it is obviously more symbolic than practical, and may be useful for navigators and desert travelers.

　After seeing two less than exciting magic rings, Fieri finally unveiled the highlight of this exhibition – Daisy, one of the protagonists of the “Monster Outing” event in Los Angeles a few days ago, the only survivor among the three tiefling half-demons, and a woman with the blood of a “succubus”!

　This pink-skinned half-succubus beauty appeared naked in a crystal glass coffin, with her limbs firmly tied with iron chains, like a specimen exhibit in a museum's glass case.

　Even so careful

　Of the men who witnessed the perfect body of the half-succubus Daisy and heard her charming pleas, at least half of them instantly became lustful, their eyes filled with lust. Some, their heads controlled by their smaller heads, even smashed the glass coffin on the spot, trying to force Daisy out and indulge in her flesh... before being dragged away by amulet-bearing guards.

　But even so, because of the extraordinary charm brought by the succubus bloodline, the exhibition site of the Snow Wind was still restless and chaos could break out at any time.

　Upon seeing this, Zoe, a diviner who had also arrived as a guest, immediately, in her capacity as the Dark Sun Archbishop of Los Angeles, distributed a number of amulets shaped like the holy emblem of the Prince of Lies, Cyric, to everyone aboard the Snow Wind. Those who attached the amulets felt a sudden surge of coolness, instantly alleviating the sudden heat and the near-dizzying excitement.

　After calming down, Hugh Hefner squeezed the amulet hanging on his chest and sighed to Fili, "Is this... the legendary 'Lilith' who sucks away a man's essence? She's really hot! She can draw out a man's soul!"

　By the way, if I really sleep with her, will anything happen? Such a hot girl is really a novelty. "

　He looked at Daisy in the crystal glass coffin, licked his lips, and whispered to Fili in a salty tone.

　"Ah, under normal circumstances nothing would happen, except that there's a chance that this half-succubus lady might drain you dry."

　Ferry narrowed his eyes, looked at the Playboy owner, and smiled ambiguously, "Why? Want to try her?"

　"Yes, can you arrange it for me? I prefer new experiences."

　Hugh Hefner laughed shamelessly, rubbing his hands like flies. "Although I have slept with women of all colors and ethnicities, I have never tasted the pleasure of a beauty like this, who is half human, half demon!"

　"Well, it's possible, but not now. You'll probably have to wait at least three or four months." Fili thought for a moment and replied.

　"What? Are there already so many men ahead of me in line? Can't you arrange for me to cut in line?"

　"It's not about queuing or cutting in line. It's that after today's annual meeting, this half-succubus tiefling beauty and the magical items I just showed you will all be sent to the airport and flown to Australia for a touring exhibition."

　Fili spread his hands and said, "By the time it's sent back from Australia, it'll take at least a few months, right?"

　"What? These precious things are going to be shipped to Australia soon?"

　Hugh Hefner was stunned. "Why Australia?"

　"Why Australia? First of all, old Europe has already fallen out with us, and Japan is also uncooperative and making trouble. Only Australia remains loyal to the United States. Therefore, we must carry out some goodwill and appeasement activities, such as sharing research results in the extraordinary field."

　Fili sighed. "Secondly, conducting paranormal research is actually quite expensive if there are no supernatural incidents occurring within one's own territory. And on the other side of the Pacific, the only truly wealthy and developed countries are Australia and New Zealand.

　Since Australia is interested in joining this supernatural trend, the United States will naturally try its best to satisfy the wishes of the Australian kangaroos.

　After all, from World War II to the present, the Australian military has been paying a blood tax to the Pentagon!"

　-

　As of 1971, although Japan had become the second largest industrial country as early as the 1960s, due to its large population, its per capita GDP did not enter the ranks of developed countries until 1975. In other words, Japan before 1975 was also considered a developing country.

　Today, the only developed countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean are Australia and New Zealand.

　As we all know, all developed capitalist countries generally have a history of being industrial countries.

　So why is Australia, which has natural conditions unsuitable for industry and basically no advanced industries, recognized as a developed country?

　If you only think that Australia has a small population and abundant resources, you are totally wrong.

　For a long time, many public intellectuals have tried to use Australia to prove that not all countries need to industrialize and can survive well by just selling resources.

　Some people have even carefully calculated how long Australia's resources can be sold and how many years the descendants of Australia's exiles can enjoy themselves.

　But in fact, these people have made a huge mistake, which is to subconsciously think that Australia’s resources all belong to Australia!

　Hmm? Isn't that right? Aren't the resources in my home mine?

　Really not!

　After World War II, there were many countries in the world that sold resources, but few were as rich as Australia.

　If a West African miner were thinking about this problem, his first reaction would be that the French would definitely take more than 90%; if a Latin American farmer were thinking about this problem, he would also consider how much he would have left after United Fruit and other American companies took the lion's share?

　Both are selling resources, why is Australia's fate so different?

　——The fundamental reason why Australians live a comfortable life is not because there are few people but because Australians have white skin, speak English,

　They occupy a high position in the "Western civilized world" and are protected by a "caste-like system", and are not cruelly exploited like in Africa and Latin America!

　As members of the "Five Eyes" alliance, Australia and the United States, despite being separated by a vast ocean, are actually one in terms of culture and social identity. This is why the United States, after World War II, showed exceptional leniency and graciously allowed Australia to keep a large portion of the profits from resource sales.

　With the permission and protection of the United States, Australia can sell resources unscrupulously, and even make things difficult for buyers while selling resources, raising prices and imposing sanctions at every turn. In turn, the store bullies customers and threatens buyers, to an astonishing degree.

　If the world system dominated by English-speaking countries collapses, the United States retreats to North America, or simply collapses, then with Australia's limited population and manufacturing industry, can it transform from a resource-rich country to an industrialized one in a short period of time and build a strong army capable of protecting its own resources?

　Obviously not, and the densely populated Southeast Asian countries have long been eyeing Australia and have always wanted to get a piece of the pie!

　Without the protection of the US and UK world hegemony, Australia would be nothing more than a wild dog on the roadside.

　Therefore, when it comes to maintaining the world hegemony of the Anglo-Saxon nation, Australians are even more enthusiastic and active than the British Empire and the United States of America.

　After the English-speaking people came to the top and dominated the world, Australia, like Canada, has been paying blood tax to the boss of the Western white world.

　From World War I to World War II, Australians have been fighting for Britain. From the Dardanelles to the deserts of the Middle East, from the jungles of the Malay Peninsula to the mountains of Papua New Guinea, tens of thousands of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers have shed blood on the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties.

　After World War II, the United States became the boss of the white English-speaking world, and Australia began to pay a blood tax to the United States. After fighting North Korea, it fought Vietnam.

　If the bloody battles fought by Australians against the Japanese in Papua New Guinea during the Pacific War could be considered close-knit battles, then why did Australians sacrifice their lives in more distant battlefields such as Burma, the Middle East, Turkey, and North Africa?

　Because behind the world order is a strict hierarchy, and there is a price to pay.

　Even in the first-tier white English world, this is true—nothing comes easy.

　Australian athletes travelled to foreign lands for the American and British giants, their blood staining the sands. This was both a blood tax that had to be paid and Australia's lifeline!

　If Australia is unwilling to send troops to foreign countries and work for the boss of the white world, then the boss of the white world will not bother to protect Australia.

　Australia itself cannot protect its own territory. As time goes by, it will definitely be infiltrated and torn apart by Southeast Asian countries!

　In short, there is not much difference between Australia and other resource-rich countries in Africa and Latin America.

　The only difference is that Australia's identity as an Anglo-Saxon nation and an English-speaking country gives it extra preferential treatment in the international order.

　Once this privileged status is lost, it means Australia has lost everything.

　——In South America, there is an example that is very similar to Australia, and that is Argentina.
