American Strategic Deception Bureau

　——Although Fili has no particular preference for this kind of play, he still has to open all the virgins that need to be opened.

　During this time, Fili found himself seemingly free of charge. If he were a heavy smoker, he would have been enjoying a casual "last cigarette." Unfortunately, Fili didn't smoke or drink much, and Marita and Alena were both busy dealing with Kate's ass.

　So... all we can do is sit and wait? Isn't that a bit boring?

　At this moment, the little maid Juanita brought a fragrant plate and handed it over like a treasure.

　"Hey, Master, this is the pizza I spent three hours making. I just heated it up. Would you like to try it and see if it tastes good?"

　Oh, is there any midnight snack?

　Although Fili was not very confident in the little guy's cooking skills, he couldn't refuse the kindness, so he smiled and picked up the pizza and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

　"Huh? It tastes delicious! Amazing! You're a genius, Juanita!"

　The mellow cheese combined with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes and the salty and fresh taste of ham slices made Phili's eyes light up and he felt unexpectedly surprised.

　"Really? I'd be glad if you like it! By the way, could you tell me where these photos are taken?

　Also, what do you think of New York? Such a famous city, it must be very, very interesting, right?

　Juanita smiled and skillfully sat down on Fili's knees, holding a photo album in her hand, and asked Fili.

　Fili looked down and found that they were photos he and Marita had taken of various New York attractions when they went to New York to visit his father-in-law - the bronze bull on Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty Island, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Wall Street, etc.

　Although Ferry didn't think much of these photos, Juanita's eyes lit up and she couldn't let go of them. In the eyes of Juanita, who had rarely seen the prosperity of the "big city", the New York in these photos was like a strange world, so bizarre and fascinating.

　"New York? How should I put it? America's largest city, the heart of the world's economy, home to one and a half million Jews, the world's largest Jewish community. It flows with endless wealth, sets fashion trends, has a lot of brilliance, and also a lot of ugliness."

　After thinking for a moment, Ferrillo replied with a line from the movie "Beijingers in New York", "If you love someone, send him to New York. Because it is heaven. If you hate someone, send him to New York, because it is hell..."

　——Of course, "Beijingers in New York" was produced twenty years later, and the New York described in the play is also very different from the New York in the 1960s.

　However, compared to his several trips to New York since his time travel, the one that left the deepest impression on Ferry was the New York he had witnessed before his time travel, a city he still vividly remembers. In 2023, before his time travel, he had joined a tour group and seen all of New York's famous sights, including Times Square, Broadway, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and Chinatown.

　My feeling after watching it, well, I can only say that it’s not as good as it seems in person, which is a bit disappointing.

　The Empire State Building, once ridden by King Kong to shoot down airplanes, has long since become dilapidated by the 21st century, with few major companies willing to move in. Broadway, once known for its extravagance and glittering beauty, now appears equally dilapidated, with theaters closing one after another. As for the famed Central Park, it's littered with garbage and homeless people during the day, and at night, it becomes a haven for crime, with people preferring to take longer detours rather than walk through it.

　The streets near Times Square are riddled with potholes, and Chinatown is shabby and filthy, reminiscent of a small county town in China from 30 years ago. The shelves of small supermarkets are completely devoid of merchandise, replaced only by photos, creating a scene reminiscent of a funeral hall. Even KFC and McDonald's takeout windows have to be covered with bulletproof glass.

　Even the most upscale luxury stores must board up their doors and windows after closing time, otherwise they will be broken open by stones at night.

　The legendary "Hell's Kitchen" is even more hellish than what is depicted in comics. The smell and environment in the New York subway station are even more terrible. It is simply a giant underground garbage bin and cesspool. There are even homeless people who occupy the carriages to sleep in them. The pungent stench of feces and hemp is everywhere.

　Aside from the Statue of Liberty and the bronze bull on Wall Street, which were somewhat worth seeing, the entire city seemed to lack any significant attractions. Well, the high-quality stocks on the Nasdaq might be good, but unfortunately, as a budget traveler, Fieri simply couldn't afford to buy them.

　To be honest, his impression of New York at that time was not even as good as some of the ancient medieval cities he saw during his subsequent travels in Europe - although the houses were old and the streets were narrow, they at least looked clean, tidy, peaceful and tranquil, with a certain elegant charm of a beauty in her twilight years.

　rather than like

　Like New York, although it has fallen behind the times, it is still busy boasting and has no self-awareness.

　I heard that since the Sleepy Holmes came to power, the Democrats' strong advocacy for legalized zero-dollar shopping, coupled with the constant dumping of illegal immigrants from southern states into New York by the truckload, has caused New York's cityscape to deteriorate further. It's full of drug addicts and robbers, feces and graffiti, and foreign illegal immigrants are so scared that they'd rather flee New York and seek their American dream in smaller cities...

　Of course, New York and the United States at this moment are far from the decadent and decadent state they will be in sixty years. Instead, they still carry a certain high spirit, vigor and vitality that are unique to a country's rise - there are not so many homeless people and drug addicts in Central Park, nor such a pungent smell. Broadway theaters are in their heyday, and supermarket shelves are filled with goods instead of photos, and they are not locked.

　The ladies wore beautiful colorful dresses and applied delicate and elegant classical makeup instead of dressing themselves up like monsters.

　Whether rich or poor, the mental outlook of most Americans was very different from what it would be sixty years later - after all, it was a golden age!

　During this era, most Americans grew up and matured almost in tandem with the United States' victory over the Great Depression, its journey through World War II, and its rise to become the world's greatest empire. They were filled with the self-proclaimed saviors of human civilization, imbued with heroic ambitions to conquer the world, believing that nothing was impossible for the United States, and filled with immense pride in their homeland.

　After World War II, the American economy experienced unprecedented rapid growth. Despite the White Terror of McCarthyism and the bloodshed of the Korean War, this period was undoubtedly the best "golden age" in American history in terms of economic prosperity and prosperity.

　Without the burden of student loans and mortgages, or the despairing burden of taxes and levies, an average engineer's salary can easily support a family: a big house, a car, a pet dog, household appliances, and overseas travel. For the American middle class, it has almost everything.

　Being born in such a prosperous era and living such a wealthy life, how can one not be full of high spirits and ambitions?

　—Americans in the Golden Age truly had light in their eyes, hope in their hearts, and drive in their actions!

　Such surging vitality also reflects the American spirit of this era.

　The Puritan tradition, which has been passed down since the founding of the country, continues to play a central role in society, even after experiencing the impact of the materialism and hedonism of the Gilded Age. Hard work, pragmatism, pioneering spirit, and the pursuit of freedom remain the mainstream values ​​of American society.

　The pride of being citizens of the world's number one superpower made them no longer feel inferior in front of the Europeans in the Old World, but more confident and proud.

　Therefore, Americans of this era are energetic, daring, idealistic, and even a little arrogant.

　They always hold the sense of mission of "who else but us to save the world" and set an example by spreading freedom and social justice to the world.

　Even if they come from ordinary backgrounds and are penniless, they still dream of changing the world and achieving success. Although most people fail in their efforts, as long as the brilliance of those who succeed illuminates the way forward, it is enough to make the United States a true "beacon of human civilization"!

　As Governor William Bradford, a signer of the Mayflower Compact, predicted: "From small beginnings have sprung great things; and as a single candle lights a thousand other candles, so the light which has been kindled here has illuminated many, and indeed, in some measure, our whole nation."

　So, how could such a vibrant and powerful country, like the rising sun, be reduced to the state it was in before Ferry traveled through time, with its decayed and sickly appearance, yet it still forced itself to wear heavy makeup and deceive others?

　Ferry thought about it carefully, and then was somewhat surprised to find that one of the driving forces behind this was the Irish community to which he currently belonged!

　The specific reason is to seize the dominance of American politics and economy from the hands of Anglo-Saxon Protestants!

　——It was from the election of President Kennedy that the Irish, Italians and Jews, these "non-traditional American whites" finally joined the upper class and launched a challenge to the main ethnic groups in the United States, the "Mayflower descendants" and "Boston Brahmins", to seize power!

　The surging black civil rights movement is only the surface of this era, and the battle between the new and old ruling classes beneath the surface is the essence of the struggle!

　Amidst this turbulent period, President Kennedy's "New Frontier" policy came to an abrupt end with his assassination. President Johnson's subsequent "Great Society" ideals were also abandoned midway due to various obstacles.

　The United States of America ultimately failed to become the touted "melting pot" of nations, but instead became an "ethnic palette" of ethnic conflicts.

　When everyone was exhausted from the fighting, the Jews who controlled finance and the media had the last laugh and became the apparent winners.

　But the unity and progress of American society is gone forever. The world-renowned "American Dream" and the American spirit of the Golden Age have gone with the wind, leaving only the distant barking of some future golden-haired Trump's "Make America Great Again" loser...

　but,

　Even if he could turn back time, Firi would still choose this path of social change.

　No matter how beautiful and glorious the America is, it means nothing to people of other nationalities.

　——Just as the glory and greatness of the Roman Empire had nothing to do with the Germanic slaves in the Colosseum; the arrogance and wealth of the British Empire could not make the soot-faced workers in the slums of East London and the Irish poor who went hungry for nine meals in three days stand up straight.

　He would rather let the United States degenerate into its previous state than see the Anglo-Saxon people always stand above all other American citizens!

　Just as Ferry was daydreaming, he suddenly felt a warm body pushing Juanita away and into his arms.

　Looking down, I saw that Kate was already ready, and was facing her butt towards me, trying to connect...

　Well, it's time to give her another course of anti-slut shots! Phiri muttered this as he stepped up to the plate and began the next round of melee.

　At this moment, he felt completely intoxicated by the temptation of the beautiful body, and even wanted to continue being happy like this forever.

　But soon, the cruel reality will pull him out of his sweet embrace and plunge him back into the vortex of the Cold War.

　Author's Note: PS: Some people refuse to acknowledge that Israel is America's fatherland. Clear evidence is that 37 of the 50 states prohibit criticism of the Israeli government. Anyone who criticizes the Israeli government is barred from public office, from receiving government funding, or from working for a company with a government contract—a privilege the federal government itself doesn't even offer!

　Even with the remaining thirteen states, criticizing Israel is not necessarily completely okay, the punishment will just be less severe.

　Only Hawaii, Washington, and New Mexico allow criticism of Israel. Utah forbids it, but there is no penalty for criticizing it.

　Even a hero like Musk only dared to say some ambiguous words, but he was still held hostage and pursued relentlessly.

　Wasn't North Korea so submissive to the Ming Dynasty? It shows that the United States is actually a vassal and concubine of Israel!

　Chapter 99, Storm Rising in Cuba!

　January 3, 1962, Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic

　Accompanied by the officers' urging, scolding and sharp whistles, the Cuban mercenaries of the 2506th Brigade, with their marching backpacks and Garand rifles lazily slung over their shoulders, lined up on the sun-baked dock, stepped on the gangplank, dragged their luggage, and got into the converted troop transport merchant ships one after another.

　Not far away, several rusty old cranes were also spewing black smoke and roaring as they lifted "large luggage" such as tanks, jeeps, field artillery, field dining cars, trucks, ambulances, etc. from the dock one by one and transported them to merchant ships or landing ships.

　Ricardo, a Cuban mercenary soldier who has been promoted to squad leader, leaned against the side of the merchant ship and waved to his lover who was seeing him off on the shore.

　Whether it was the people seeing them off at the dock or the soldiers boarding the ship, their expressions were relaxed. They all knew this wasn't some life-or-death farewell on the battlefield. The mercenaries of the 2506th Brigade had received notice a month earlier, stating they would be setting out en masse to Puerto Plata in the northern Dominican Republic in January of next year for a large-scale amphibious landing exercise.

　Now it was time to leave their comfortable base, say goodbye to the lovers they had found in Santo Domingo, and set off to participate in the exercises.

　Thinking of his lover, Ricardo, with a cigarette in his mouth, raised his head again and cast his gaze at Mi Wei, who was waving a handkerchief on the shore and saying goodbye to him.

　Recalling all the happiness that this stunning beauty had brought him over the past few months, Riccardo couldn't help but feel more nostalgic for her.

　Mi Wei was a slender, mixed-race woman with smooth, shiny skin. Her slender waist and round, plump hips formed a perfect S-curve, and her face was beautiful and delicate. Her captivating, almond-shaped eyes seemed half-closed all day long, and her fiery red tongue was always licking her lips seductively. Her long, curly black hair cascaded down her face like a waterfall, especially when drenched in sweat, making it appear even more shiny.

　The smooth skin like brown satin, after being wetted by sweat, was emitting a layer of attractive and strange luster, looking extremely sexy.

　She was originally from a middle-class family, the daughter of a respectable family. But during the economic collapse and reign of terror at the end of Trujillo's rule, Mi Wei's family business went bankrupt last year, her father committed suicide by hanging, and then her brother and mother were framed and arrested, and soon died in prison.

　Only Mi Wei managed to escape, but she had nowhere to go and was forced to work as a waitress in a bar, enduring the sexual harassment of drinkers every day.

　Otherwise, how could Ricardo, with his humble status as a mercenary squad leader, possibly win the heart of a girl from such a respectable family?

　In fact, even though she had fallen into working as a bar hostess, Mi Wei was still very popular because of her outstanding beauty and had many suitors. Ricardo almost used all his tricks to show his courtesy to Mi Wei before he finally "invaded" Mi Wei's heart.

　Later, Ricardo relied on his relative who was an officer in the 2506th Brigade, and found some connections. With the authority of the occupying forces, he helped Mi Wei get back her family's old house in Santo Domingo that had been confiscated - even though the house had been looted and even damaged during the turmoil.

　There are traces of arson, but the remaining walls and floors still hold many beautiful memories of this poor girl.

　So, Mi Wei, overjoyed, finally gave everything to Ricardo, allowing him to fully experience the hot style of this beauty.

　In the next few months, Ricardo rarely even spent the night in the barracks. Instead, he moved into Mi Wei's house, living and sleeping together, spending the whole day in each other's arms, just like a newlywed couple deeply in love.

　——Well, after all, they are mercenaries who work for money, and it is the tropical rainy season when they can’t move, so it is understandable that their discipline is a little lax.

　It's a pity that love always comes and goes so quickly.

　Good days are always short, and the time of parting will eventually come.

　This is the largest amphibious landing combat exercise since the establishment of the 2506th Brigade. It will take at least two weeks and possibly up to a month.

　By the time the exercise is over, I'm afraid that little slut Mi Wei will have been taken advantage of by someone else, right?

　But there was nothing that could be done about it. Mi Wei had always been wild, with the wild energy of a gypsy girl. It was said that she had already had a long list of boyfriends long before her family fell on hard times. It was already a great blessing for a soldier like Ricardo to have her all to himself for a few months. If he wanted her to stay alone in her empty room, waiting for them, it would be a bit ungrateful.

　What's more, even if this sexy girl Mi Wei is really willing to wait for him for a month, they probably won't have much time left to spend together.

　——Although the Dominican Republic is nice, it is not my hometown!

　The 2506th Brigade was destined to fight in Cuba after all. This was the mission given to this army by its financial backers since its inception.

　After this amphibious landing exercise, they could return to Santo Domingo to rest, but by April at the latest, before the end of the dry season, the entire brigade would have to set out on a journey, cross the sea back to Cuba, and fight Castro's Communist gang to the death.

　By then, it was still unknown whether Ricardo could survive the hail of bullets, so how could he care about his lover who was far away on the other side of the ocean?

　So, let this romantic relationship, born in troubled times, end at the most beautiful moment! This will be good for everyone...

　Ricardo thought so dejectedly, threw the Camel cigarette in his mouth into the sea, and then turned and walked into the cabin.

　-

　Soon, amid the sound of whistles, a huge transport fleet carrying about 4000 officers and soldiers of the 2506th Brigade, as well as two Jianghe-class frigates transferred from the Dominican Navy, flying the Cuban flag and assigned to the 2506th Brigade, set sail one after another from the dock of Santo Domingo Port.

　Next, after joining the US Navy's "Essex" aircraft carrier battle group and a Marine Corps responsible for escort, the entire fleet has become huge, with masts like a forest and various warships covering at least a dozen square kilometers of sea surface.

　If you look down from the air, this momentum and lineup are just like the US Navy Pacific Fleet that rushed towards Guadalcanal, Saipan and Iwo Jima in the Pacific battlefield more than ten years ago, fighting the Japanese devils to the death.

　However, what puzzled some of the junior and middle-ranking officers of the 2506th Brigade was that this impressive fleet, after completing its rendezvous, did not sail eastward into the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, it turned westward and began sailing deep into the Caribbean Sea.

　Well, although the Dominican Republic is an island country surrounded by sea, ships can sail from the port of Santo Domingo in the south to Puerto Plata in the north, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

　However, if the fleet went in a counterclockwise direction, it would have to pass through the Windward Channel between Cuba and Haiti.

　It's like showing off your power by sticking it in front of Castro's nostrils!

　Although the fleet carrying the 2506th Brigade had already passed through the Windward Channel during the previous surprise attack on the Dominican Republic, that time they had taken advantage of the surprise attack, and with harassment activities in other directions to divert attention, they were able to quickly pass through before Castro could react.

　However, the mercenaries' current operation was largely undisclosed. Castro's communist regime's military strength on the island of Cuba had been significantly strengthened over the past year thanks to massive Soviet aid, with the addition of numerous aircraft and missile boats.

　So, will the fleet carrying the 2506th Brigade accidentally clash with Castro's red Cuban navy and air force when passing through the Windward Strait?

　Many people have such doubts in their hearts, but when they look back at the American aircraft carrier behind them and the American carrier-based aircraft flying overhead from time to time... they put their hearts back in their stomachs - with the American aircraft carrier battle group escorting them all the way, Castro should not dare to offend easily, right?

　Uh, maybe?

　However, the next day, even more ominous signs appeared.

　When the ordinary soldiers of the 2506th Brigade, who had little experience, had not noticed anything wrong, the more educated officers were shocked when they saw that the fleet was still heading west instead of turning north, and had obviously passed the Windward Channel.

　——After passing the Windward Strait, the only land available for the fleet to land was the long and narrow island of Cuba!

　Could it be that... this exercise is just a cover?

　In fact, they can wait patiently for three or four months, but they want to attack Cuba now? Are they going to fight Castro to the death?

　Oh my God! Although fighting on the battlefield is a soldier's duty, this is too sudden! No one is mentally prepared!

　However, no matter how uneasy they are, what is coming will eventually come.

　——First, the officers on each ship were called to the conference room to listen to the US military advisers and CIA special envoys read out a secret order.
