American Strategic Deception Bureau

　Being forced to leave the familiar environment, becoming a commodity, and being resold to a completely unfamiliar place...it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no fear in one's heart.

　Even Marita, who has escaped from the suffering, feels sad when she thinks of the nightmares she experienced last year.

　The intermittent sobbing and wailing intertwined into a huge, heavy cumulonimbus cloud that filled the restaurant, making the meal boring.

　Looking at these graceful naked women, crying at the table, Fili couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with words. But he kept himself from saying anything, feeling that no matter what he said, it would be problematic.

　Finally, he said only one sentence: "Don't cry yourself sick, hurry up and eat! The food is getting cold!"

　That night, Fili slept in a bedroom with all the women, huddled close together. Despite the lush, beautiful bodies entwined and overlapping, their delicate skin rubbing against each other, Fili did nothing with them. He simply listened to them sob and chatter about their past.

　Although he is a bit of a "teacher bitch", when it comes to caring for the beautiful bodies of young female students, Principal Fili is really impeccable.

　Over the next few days, Firi and a group of women carefully explored and inspected the shelter.

　As the first generation of early products after the rise of the "doomsday survival craze", the CIA underground shelter in the San Fernando Valley was dug into the rock. It was originally an underground ammunition depot of the Army. It is 12 meters underground and is entirely constructed of reinforced concrete. In some key locations, navy armored steel plates are also used.

　In addition, its ventilation system has been strengthened and improved, and can deliver filtered fresh air to every corner, so that people in it will not feel the stuffiness of being underground at all.

　On this basis, the construction team hired by the CIA carried out luxurious decoration of the internal living space - murals were painted on the ceiling, the walls were painted snow-white, the marble floor was extremely smooth, there were comfortable sofas and spring beds, as well as separate toilets and bathrooms.

　A dedicated telephone connects the underground shelter and the camouflaged building on the surface, allowing people in the shelter to communicate with the outposts outside.

　However, at the same time, this shelter also has many problems.

　For example, although there is an independent well in the shelter, it often dries up during the dry summer, making it feel unreliable.

　Furthermore, the shelter didn't have the kind of indoor soilless cultivation farms you'd see in science fiction. Because the shelter was too small, the underground space was insufficient, so they ended up building a glass greenhouse in the courtyard outside—as if the shockwaves of a nuclear explosion wouldn't destroy it.

　Inside the shelter, there's only a four-square-meter mushroom cultivation room: unlike fruits and vegetables, mushrooms can grow even in the dark...

　The more critical problem is that the entire shelter is too small. Excluding the space for storing supplies, it can only accommodate five or six people for long-term living.

　No wonder the CIA director was not satisfied with it and turned around to dig a larger underground shelter in Virginia.

　But if it is just used as a training base, or an underground shelter-themed training camp, it is barely sufficient.

　So, after a thorough cleaning, clearing away the accumulated dust, and replacing the light bulbs and bedding, Fili officially threw the four naked female students in, announcing that their isolated and sunlight-free cellar life would begin from then on, hoping that they would be able to adapt as soon as possible.

　Then, with their faces filled with confusion, as if they wanted to complain but didn't know how, the door of the shelter was closed from the outside.

　Then, Fieri left Alena and Juanita to take care of the baby, and took Marita to the Kim family's ancestral home in Hollywood to meet his parents...

　Author's Note: PS: My mom returned from a trip to Singapore and lamented that the previously boasted-about light trees and the Marina Bay Sands skyscrapers now looked quite ordinary. The Garden Airport is indeed well-built, but there are many similar imitations of the same indoor gardens and artificial waterfalls in China.

　The streets of Singapore are not as clean as people say. There are black Indians lying everywhere on the roadside. The airport is also full of people lying down, with no place to sit.

　The final conclusion is that the cost is too high and I don’t want to go a second time after going there once.

　Chapter 77: The Committee on Un-American Activities is targeting you!

　"Oh my God! Ferry, so you really live in Hollywood? I thought you were just bragging!"

　Pushing open the car door and standing on the lawn in the courtyard of the Jin family's old house, Marita Lorenz looked around at this Mediterranean-style mansion with white walls and red tiles, and then looked up at the huge "HOLLYWOOD" sign with white letters on the distant hill. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and let out a small cry of surprise.

　Looking at the bustling Sunset Boulevard behind her and the luxury houses lined up on the street, she suddenly felt a little anxious.

　Today, Marita was wearing a pair of white silk gloves, a pair of crystal-decorated high heels, and a red off-shoulder evening dress that revealed her charming collarbone and neck, like a blooming red rose - all of which were the clothes that Ferry had just taken her to the fashion store to buy.

　If you are attending a social event such as a party or a cocktail party, this outfit is naturally very fashionable.

　But if I were to go with Fili to meet his parents, wouldn't this bright and eye-catching outfit look a little... too flirty?

　"Don't worry, in Hollywood, dressing like you is considered very conservative. Besides, today isn't some grand family gathering."

　While throwing the car keys to the housekeeper who came to greet us, Ferry said to Marita, "Bernard (eldest brother) is working in Washington now, Anthony (second brother) is filming a movie in the Mojave Desert, and Maria (youngest sister) and her classmates went to Palm Springs for an autumn outing.

　Right now, there are only my dad and mom at home, and they are both very open-minded and easy to talk to... Where are the conservatives in a place like Hollywood?"

　Next, in the living room of the King family's old house, Marita met Ferry's parents - his cigar-chomping father Patrick and his still charming mother Kate, and received their warm welcome and concern.

　Even though Marita hesitantly revealed her name and background, Fili's parents didn't recognize her at all. They just thought she was an ordinary female colleague of Fili's at the CIA. Because of her beauty, their son had taken a fancy to her and had started an office romance with Fili.

　Besides, although Marita was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow, bright teeth and eyes, long hair, and a relatively elegant demeanor, she looked rather silly, not very bright, and timid, like a little rabbit. At first glance, she looked like the traditional lady in "Gone with the Wind" from a hundred years ago, and there was no way she could handle a clever guy like Ferry.

　Especially when they learned that Marita only had a junior high school education, Jin's parents felt more relieved.

　Later, I heard that Marita was also from a good family. Her father was a cruise ship captain and her brother was

　A diplomat, and another brother studied music. After thinking about it, Jin's parents felt that this identity was just so-so, probably a little bit inferior to their eldest son, but not bad compared to their youngest son.

　Specifically, there's no need to interfere, just let things develop naturally, and what happens in the end depends on Fili's wishes...

　—Well, to be honest, Marita Lorenz is not nearly as famous as she thinks.

　She visited the United States with Castro and almost became the first lady of Cuba, but that was more than three years ago.

　There were no news replays on the Internet these days, and Marita was not a Hollywood star, with no film or television works of her own.

　Three years after the news died down, she had naturally become obscured from public consciousness. Who knew who Marita Lorenz was?

　Anyway, after having a sumptuous dinner at the Jin family, Marita officially entered the family and became a lover recognized by the elders.

　As a constraint, after getting the approval of her elders, Marita must be tied to Feri and cannot fool around with other men before breaking up.

　——Marita, who had signed a soul contract and became a slave, of course could no longer cuckold Ferry, but others didn't know that.

　In Hollywood, a place of decadence and indulgence, there are neither gentle and virtuous chaste ladies nor moral gentlemen who can remain calm even when a woman's sensual embrace is revealed.

　Most celebrities, directors, and bosses live open private lives, often sharing the same bed with multiple men or women, and engaging in sex parties every night. Even among those who are married, fidelity is rare, with frequent marriages, divorces, and remarriages as commonplace.

　As Hollywood natives, Patrick and Kate have been exposed to too many outrageous scandals in the Hollywood world. So they don't really like seeing their children marry actresses - dating is one thing, but getting married and starting a family is another.

　Seeing that Fili had found a beautiful, naive German girl, his father and mother were so happy that they couldn't wait to object.

　Of course, Kim's parents still support Fieri's desire to take his girlfriend to a few parties and experience the glamorous world of Hollywood.

　-

　In general, as long as you have a little status and face, there will never be a shortage of parties in Hollywood.

　With the connections that Fili has accumulated over the years, getting a few party invitations is not difficult, if not easy.

　Who says Americans love to party?

　There is a Christmas party at Christmas, a New Year's party at Chinese New Year, a birthday party at birthdays, a promotion party when you get promoted, a farewell party when you go on a long journey, a bachelor party when you are about to get married, and even a discharge party when you are discharged from the hospital after recovering from an illness.

　——The richer and more free time people have, the more parties they host and attend, thus forming the famous "party culture."

　However, even though they are both Hollywood parties, the levels vary greatly from high to low.

　There are low-end parties where a minor celebrity sets up a barbecue grill in his backyard and gathers a few random people to drink beer, chat and have fun; there are also high-end parties with luxury villas and swimming pools, well-dressed people, popular stars, business leaders and political elites gathered, and the conspiracy and spy scenes are surging.

　Of course, there are also private parties with many beauties, pills and fine wine, deafening gunfire, chaos and excitement.

　Since Fili wanted to show his girlfriend the world this time, he naturally took Marita to the most high-end party he could attend.

　——625 Oceanside Boulevard in Santa Monica Beach, a weekend party hosted by the Kennedy family!

　Since John F. Kennedy became president, this seaside villa belonging to the president's sister Patricia Kennedy has become increasingly prosperous and lively. Almost every weekend it is packed with guests and celebrities, including Hollywood stars and dignitaries.

　Compared to those celebrities and socialites with big breasts, long legs, blonde hair, blue eyes, flaming red lips, and every smile and frown exuding all kinds of charm, even with Marita Lorenz's exquisite beauty and slender figure, she seemed to be overshadowed and lost in the crowd.

　——Forget about being the most beautiful woman in the whole audience and attracting everyone's attention. Few people even bothered to pay attention to her. She was almost invisible.

　After all, in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels", what is most in demand is handsome men and beautiful women with good looks!

　Without the added bonus of fame, power and wealth, ordinary beauties would be no different from vases and decorations at such high-end parties.

　However, Marita did not feel depressed. She had long known that she would have no hope of rising to the upper class in her lifetime.

　Being able to attend this world-class social gathering is enough for her to brag about it to her family for the whole year.

　So, she just sat in the corner of the party with a glass of sparkling wine, admiring the shining stars from afar:

　Rita Hayworth, the first Hollywood actress to become a princess, was bright and beautiful; Judy Garland, the heroine of "The Wizard of Oz"; Jane Fonda, who was just emerging; Elizabeth Taylor, who had violet eyes and elegant appearance... Of course, there was also the symbol of this golden age, the sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe, who was like a moon surrounded by stars and undoubtedly outshined all others!

　To put it bluntly, any one of them here can instantly beat her who is so proud of her beauty.

　These are just people from the entertainment industry, and the politicians and

　The business celebrities were even more eye-opening for her - Howard Hughes, who was known as the second great inventor after Edison; Jacqueline Kennedy, the fashionable, elegant and charming First Lady of the United States; Ford II, the boss of Ford Motor Company... and presidents or executives of several other top companies.

　Compared with these powerful bosses, Marita Lorenz could only shrink in the corner, her body stiff, trying her best to avoid making any movements that would attract attention. She looked at the partygoers chatting and laughing with surprise and admiration, talking about all kinds of profound topics that she could not understand at all.

　She had attended similar social gatherings when she was with Castro, but they were clearly not as high-end and classy as the ones here.

　Excitement, excitement, nervousness, uneasiness...all these emotions mixed in her heart, making Marita unable to help but drink one glass after another, and soon she was half drunk.

　As you can imagine, at such a high-end party, Ferry King, the "Pentagon's ace salesman," was clearly not a big deal. Aside from offering flattering remarks and making himself known to certain influential figures, he had little to do.

　However, just when Ferry discovered that Marita was drunk and was about to take her out to sober up, he saw that his eldest brother Bernard was also at the party.

　"Hey! Brother! When did you return to Los Angeles? Why didn't you inform our family in advance?"

　Fili immediately went up to him with a smile and punched his brother on the shoulder enthusiastically, "Do you want to go see Mom and Dad together later?"

　"Ah, Fili, I just got off a plane this evening and have to go back to Washington tomorrow, so I won't be going home this time."

　Seeing his younger brother, Bernard forced a smile and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, he quietly bit his ear and whispered, "By the way, there's something I need to remind you of. Things are getting a bit tense lately. You must be more restrained. The Committee on Un-American Activities might be targeting you!"

　"What? Committee on Un-American Activities?!" Ferry was shocked when he heard that.

　-

　The Committee on Un-American Activities, the most notorious far-right organization during the McCarthy era, was initially established at the behest of President Roosevelt.

　Because, with World War II about to break out, the United States was also in turmoil. German, Italian and Japanese immigrants in the United States were secretly colluding and trying to cause trouble. Various fascist organizations such as the "Silver Shirts" also took root in the United States, causing serious social chaos.

　Therefore, Roosevelt set up the Committee on Un-American Activities in 1938 to crack down on various "un-American" behaviors, conduct loyalty investigations on immigrants who lack a sense of identity with the United States, eliminate local fascist organizations, prevent Axis spies from taking up important positions in the US government, and so on.

　Therefore, the original Un-American Committee was not a right-wing group, but rather a left-wing organization that suppressed the extreme right.

　With the victory of World War II, the Committee on Un-American Activities had basically completed its mission and should have been gradually marginalized.

　However, President Roosevelt's sudden death in the spring of 1945 disrupted many plans.

　What's even worse is that with the rise of McCarthyism, Senator McCarthy and a group of extreme right-wing elements took control of the Un-American Activities Committee. From then on, the Un-American Activities Committee became the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the American cultural, intellectual and entertainment circles, and they could catch a bunch of spies wherever they went.

　The literary inquisition, book burning, persecution of intellectuals, closure of newspapers and radio stations, film censorship, arrest of progressive students, suppression of people of color, etc. were all spearheaded by this organization, which resulted in countless false and unjust cases and even got to the point of allocating Soviet spy quotas to each state.

　But it should be noted that the Un-American Activities Committee was not only anti-left, it was also anti-right.

　At the end of World War II, the United States recruited a group of Japanese and German scientists from the Axis powers, including a Japanese biological and chemical weapons expert ("Dr. Evil") and a German rocket expert, with the intention of placing them in important positions. However, due to the intervention of the Un-American Committee, these individuals' loyalty was questioned. Consequently, these Axis scientists with questionable "loyalty checks" were left idle for a long time after the war, with no further appointments.

　This was equivalent to delaying the United States' technological development process in the early days of the Cold War.

　If it weren't for the sabotage and interference of the Committee on Un-American Activities in the scientific community, the Soviet Union might not have been able to launch the first artificial satellite before the United States.

　At its peak, the UN-American Committee's reputation in the United States was almost comparable to that of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Great Purge.

　The problem was that the Americans were clearly more militant than the Soviets. By the late 1950s, the U.S. Un-American Activities Committee had become so outraged that riots erupted wherever it investigated, and its purges were met with collective resistance from top to bottom.

　While it's possible to label someone a "communist spy," if everyone takes pride in being a communist spy, then being a communist spy would only bring them fame and fortune...

　Then, the deterrent effect of the Committee on Un-American Activities would become a joke.

　Robert Kennedy attempted to transform the organization into a crime-fighting group, focusing on the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan and various black violent groups, as well as some labor unions that had evolved into mafia-style organizations. Overall, the results were acceptable and restored some of the organization's reputation.

　But as Robert Kennedy became Attorney General and entered the cabinet, the Un-American Activities Committee stagnated in combating crime. Its conservative members tried to continue the white terror, but were completely unsuccessful.

　Even with the support of the White House, he could only lie low for a few years and did not accomplish anything decent.

　Moreover, a few years later during the Johnson administration, as the Vietnam War expanded, anti-war movements in the United States emerged one after another. The Un-American Committee quickly became a public enemy among students because of its persecution of anti-war students and advocacy of compulsory conscription. At least half of the United States hated it.

　What is even more embarrassing is that anti-war eventually became politically correct in the United States, while the non-American committee became a negative asset that urgently needed to be cut off and abandoned.

　In 1969, the Committee on Un-American Activities was renamed the Committee on Internal Security, hoping to refocus its work on crime prevention. However, its success was limited, and a few years later, its involvement in Nixon's Watergate scandal further tarnished its reputation. In 1975, the committee was officially disbanded and has ceased to exist.

　At this point, the cultural butcher who once caused panic in Hollywood and almost destroyed America's soft power has finally come to an end.

　It is now 1961, and the Committee on Un-American Activities, while still in existence, has fallen into disrepute and entered a period of decline.

　So, why would this organization, which has long been reduced to a state of decline, target him?

　Could it be that the news that he slept with Marita had reached Congress, so he was accused of being "collaborative with the Communist Party"?

　Is the CIA also a part-time tabloid? They're so quick to spread employee secrets. How do they keep secrets?

　"Wait, brother, please explain clearly, why is the Committee on Un-American Activities bothering me?"

　Fili wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm just a nobody!"

　"A small figure? How can a key figure who can change national strategy and instigate a 'crusade' be considered a small figure?"

　Bernard reached out and tapped Fili's forehead. "The news that you successfully persuaded the cabinet to change the CIA's Cuban mercenaries' strategy, let Cuba go, and attack the Dominican Republic instead, has spread all over Washington! Everyone says you're the Doge of Venice of our time!"
