American Strategic Deception Bureau

　From then on, Cuba moved its capital to Guantanamo and imitated the United States, adopting a presidential system. Mr. Kakarot was the first president.

　The Cuban Constitution will also be revised. Regardless of its actual content, at least its form will try to conceal its socialist color.

　Furthermore, the senior military and political officials of the Cuban revolutionary regime have also recently been in Castro's presence. No, following the Kakarot brothers' lead, they have all changed their names, shaved their beards, and grown beards. They have also collectively changed their hairstyles, ensuring that written records and public photos would make it difficult to directly identify this ruling group with any connection to the Cuban revolutionary regime.

　Radicals who oppose the name change and peace talks, such as Che Guevara – who was originally Argentinian – will resign and leave Cuba.”

　Fili continued, "In addition, the Cuban Revolutionary Army was renamed the Cuban Defense Army - according to Castro, no, Mr. Kakarot. If the Bureau deems it necessary, even if it is renamed

　Batiantang Army, it’s not impossible to discuss…”

　"Sweet Sugar Army? That's not necessary. There's really no need to go to this extent, making it like a Disney animation."

　Deputy Director Bissell, who had been stunned by what he had heard, curled his lips at the words, then his expression turned serious. "Those word games and fraudulent things are fine no matter what. After all, even if it goes wrong, the one who will suffer in the end is still that Cuban bearded man, no, that Cuban bald man."

　What you really have to worry about is when will the Cubans be willing to hand over the Soviet nuclear mine they have?

　This is the most basic prerequisite for reaching a peace agreement! There will be no peace unless the Cubans surrender their nuclear bombs!"

　"Regarding the last Soviet nuclear mine on the island of Cuba, the Cuban revolutionary regime stated that it was dismantled and transported from Havana and is currently hidden in the mountains and forests south of Havana. However, because the roads and bridges on the island were severely damaged by our military's bombing, they are unable to safely transport it to Guantanamo, over 800 kilometers away. Therefore, they want to find a different transfer location."

　"Well, that's negotiable. When and where are the Cubans prepared to hand over the nuclear bomb?"

　"The time will be after the handover of Guantanamo Bay is completed and the new government is formally established. The location will be..."

　At this point, Fili couldn't help but pause and said with a tone of emotion, "Jilong Beach in the Bay of Pigs!"

　——I don’t know if it was the fate of history or a coincidence, but the Cuban Crisis in this time and space finally came to an end in the Bay of Pigs.

　Author's words: PS: Recently someone came up with the idea of ​​having the gold medal lecturer Lei Sen, who is begging in California, have a live broadcast connection with the internet celebrity wolf on the Hoh Xil National Highway.

　Now the situation of this man and this wolf is quite similar, both of them are wandering around begging with their two apprentices.

　The difference is that the internet celebrity wolf opened the Three Wolves Begging Company, and the more he ate, the fatter he got. He led his apprentices to become fatter first and then the others, but the lecturer was still dark and thin.

　The common point is that whether it is wolves or humans, there are nosy guys who don't want them to beg for food properly.

　The internet celebrity wolf was given anesthesia by experts and thrown back into the wild. The gold medal lecturer was also reported and could no longer stay in Los Angeles, so he is walking to San Francisco.

　A voiceover from the beginning of the video popped up in my mind, preferably a child's voice: Look at that person, how come he lives worse than a dog/wolf? !

　Chapter 136: Red Drug Lord Castro

　After a brief inspection, Deputy Director Bissell didn't even meet with the Cuban representatives. He just packed up his bags, got on the plane and left without leaving a trace.

　This only left Fili with one huge problem: making money!

　——The CIA suffered so much loss in Operation Tropic Thunder that it actually wanted to get money from Cuba to make up for it!

　According to Deputy Director Bissell, in order to plan this Cuban war, the CIA not only invested almost all the assets it had looted from the Dominican Republic's "benefactor" Trujillo during the "Operation Crusade", but also looked for sponsors and venture capital.

　The result was that nothing was gained, and even the gain was not enough but the rice was lost.

　The mercenaries that the CIA had finally gathered through deception and fraud were basically wiped out in Cuba, and the agency also owed a lot of favors.

　To make matters worse, just as the US military constantly oscillates between extreme bellicosity and war-weariness, with virtually no in-between, CIA agents are optimistic to the point of hubris when favorable conditions prevail, and pessimistic to the point of fleeing when unfavorable ones arise.

　However, from Director Dulles down to the CIA's senior executives, whether it was the CIA's slush fund or their personal assets, according to American practice, they did not keep them in banks to rot, but instead made various investments and bought a variety of financial products.

　So many people bought futures, bonds and stocks of the corresponding sectors on the eve of Operation Tropical Thunder, waiting to make a fortune.

　Even those who do not personally trade stocks often leak some insider information to their respective financial funds in order to achieve a win-win situation.

　——At this moment, FBI Director Hoover is respected by gangsters all over the United States, while CIA Director Dulles is much poorer. The government's funding is always insufficient, and it is difficult for him to make money by doing illegal things. Being able to find a legal way to make money is a rare opportunity that can only be encountered by chance.

　It is obvious that the CIA released some extremely confident good news before the war, each one louder than the other, exaggerating to the extreme.

　However, due to a series of coincidences and the CIA's carelessness and inadequate intelligence collection, the "Tropic Thunder" operation that was supposed to bring back Guatemala amid laughter and joy turned out to be more and more embarrassing, and eventually evolved into a small-scale nuclear war that shocked the world.

　The American who originally just wanted to hunt a little wild boar ended up provoking a Tyrannosaurus Rex at his doorstep and was bitten by it until his face was covered in blood!

　——Although nuclear bombs basically exploded abroad, the Pentagon in the United States was destroyed and the president fled the White House!

　The Pearl Harbor incident, when a small volcanic island halfway across the Pacific Ocean was bombed by Japanese naval aircraft, had already caused widespread outrage in American society. But what about the fact that this time, the blaze of fire was directed directly at Washington?

　Therefore, during the crisis, the entire European and American financial markets plummeted, and gold took the opportunity to rise sharply. As soon as the market opened on Wall Street, traders were almost going crazy, forcibly closing their positions.

　The calls for insurance came like a tsunami, and suicidal speculators jumped from the rooftops like a torrential rain. It was said that they were no longer jumping from individual rooftops, but piles of them. To get to the rooftops, you had to queue because there was not enough space to stand...

　In just two months after the outbreak of the Cuban nuclear crisis, countries around the world submitted a total of US$45 billion worth of gold exchange requests to the United States.

　If the Fed agreed to all the demands, it would have to withdraw nearly 20% of the US gold reserves. If the Fed refused to redeem, it would have to declare the gold-dollar peg broken, thus dismantling the Bretton Woods system and unleashing an even more devastating financial crisis.

　The utterly beleaguered Kennedy administration could only rack its brains for excuses to stall, while forcing the Federal Reserve to tearfully provide some gold to mitigate the bank run. They also fully experienced the despair and pain felt by the two established imperialist powers, Britain and France, during the Suez Canal War six years earlier, facing a combined attack from the US and the Soviet Union: the Soviet Union flexing its muscles and intimidating them from the front, while the US stabbed them in the back, shorting the financial markets.

　The traders who managed the CIA's finances thought they had inside information and used too much leverage, which naturally led to their positions being liquidated!

　Thus, even though Director Dulles and Deputy Director Bissell were destined to resign and retire due to the terrible state of the war on the island of Cuba, they still had to find a way to fill the financial hole in the bureau.

　Even if we can't make up for it, we must at least show the attitude of trying to save the financial crisis and open up new sources of income for everyone.

　Otherwise, it is hard to say what terrible things a group of CIA executives, each of whom is heavily in debt, will do when facing doomsday.

　Deputy Chief Bissell definitely doesn't want to be shot eight times in the back and "commit suicide" after retirement!

　Well, it's best not to have plane crashes, drunk truck drivers, or Marine snipers suffering from intermittent psychosis.

　So, adhering to his usual leadership style, he passed the glorious task of making money for the bureau to Firi.

　According to the deputy director, the CIA recruited Fieri from the Pentagon for his ability to generate revenue. However, while Fieri did come up with some money-making ideas after his transfer, they were insufficient to generate immediate revenue for the agency.

　Phiri: I haven't paid the CIA in over a year? Are you kidding me?!

　If I hadn't turned the tide and changed course last year, you CIA bastards would have been defeated in the Bay of Pigs and become a laughing stock. How could you have had the good fortune to rob the $800 million fortune saved by Trujillo, the "benefactor of the motherland" of the Dominican Republic?

　So, who in the world is more worthy of being called the annual sales champion than me?

　Chief, you are not some one-eyed bald black man, so how can you use your butt to hit people when you don’t have to face them?

　However, Deputy Director Bissell was completely unaware of Fieri's criticism, or rather, he deliberately ignored Fieri's complaints and continued to talk about the new money-making task assigned to him. The deputy director said that after the end of "Operation Crusade" last year, Estelline, who led the operation, plundered $1 billion from the Dominican Republic. Even if some of the profits had to be shared with the military and other departments, the CIA still received more than $500 million in extra income.

　So, by analogy, after this year's "Tropic Thunder" operation is over, Firi, who is in charge of this operation, should also extort at least $500 million from Cuba to fill the financial hole in the agency - of course, it would be even better if he could extort more money.

　The CIA has never been afraid of having too much gray income!

　For a moment, Fili felt… unworthy of the responsibility entrusted to him by the deputy director! He truly didn't deserve it!

　Or rather, it's simply outrageous?

　Deputy Director Bissell! Others might squeeze oil from rocks, but why are you even plundering radioactive wastelands?

　Do you want highly lethal radioactive fallout?

　Then, before Fili could figure out a way to make money in the Cuban wasteland, he met the second guy who asked him for money.

　——Fidel Castro’s younger brother, Raul Castro!

　Well, once the peace talks are complete, he'll change his name to Saiyan Kakarot...

　-

　Unlike his tall, handsome, fair-skinned brother Fidel Castro, Raul Castro is short and plain-looking. From his skin color to his face, he looks more like an Asian, which led to his nickname "Chinese".

　Well, although in the eyes of authentic Chinese people, Raul's small eyes, flat nose and round face seem more like a Mongolian.

　Therefore, since Raúl was a child, there have been rumors in his hometown of Biran that Raúl is not the biological son of Fidel Castro, or Angel Castro, but the "illegitimate child" born from an affair between Mrs. Lina and a Cuban-Chinese businessman.

　——Who made it so that among the nine children of the Castro family (six of whom are still alive), only Raul looks like neither his father nor his mother?

　According to the thinking of those ignorant women in the Cuban countryside these days, Raul's Asian-looking face must look like an adulterer!

　Unfortunately, there is no technology to do paternity testing these days, and only a few of the most unlucky people will be found out because of their blood type.

　As a result, even Angel Castro heard the letter

　He was suspicious and had always been lukewarm towards his youngest son during his lifetime.

　At this moment, Raul Castro appeared before Fili. He had just shaved his head for a makeover, leaving only a small mustache on his lips and wearing a pair of round black-framed old-fashioned glasses. At first glance, he looked like a common Japanese sergeant in old movies.

　How should I put it? It really makes me want to laugh!

　After finally suppressing his smile, Fieri quickly put on a businesslike expression and began with a string of Foreign Ministry-style clichés: "Despite all the contradictions and conflicts, we have finally reached a preliminary consensus. From now on, a new chapter will begin in the exchanges between the peoples of our two countries. The economic development of the Caribbean region will also usher in a new journey. We will face various opportunities and challenges together."

　Although it was not a formal occasion, he was still full of unoriginal formal remarks, all about being balanced but without any substance.

　Naturally, Raul Castro didn't buy it at all - although he was a peace advocate in Cuba, as a revolutionary whose hometown had just been flattened by a US hydrogen bomb, it would be crazy for him to really believe in the "goodwill" of the United States.

　He and his brother were well aware that withdrawing from Cuba did represent a significant strategic contraction of the United States in the South, but that was all. In the long term, the future of relations between Cuba and the United States remained fraught with uncertainty, and it was entirely possible that the US military would return in a few years.

　However, this did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to beg for some benefits from the United States, such as issuing a sky-high list of post-war aid.

　"Yes, opportunities and challenges coexist! Even though the war is over, our challenges have just begun! If the United States hopes to maintain long-term peace in the Caribbean and not repeat the same mistakes, then in addition to lifting the economic blockade against Cuba, it also needs to provide us with sufficiently generous humanitarian aid! Only in this way can we avoid the next disaster!"

　As he spoke, he handed over a list of forms. When Fili took it and looked at it, he couldn't help but curse.

　"Eight hundred million dollars just for economic aid? And they want the US to provide food for free and help Cuba build reservoirs, roads, and power plants?

　Did Cuba think it had won the war? This is the first time I've heard of a defeated country demanding reparations from the victorious country!

　"This isn't war reparations, it's humanitarian aid!" Raul emphasized, carefully wording his words. "After experiencing a brutal nuclear war, Cuba's national economy has completely collapsed. Seven million, no, now there are only six million Cubans left crying out for food.

　If the United States does not provide a way for the Cuban people to survive, then we can no longer control them and let them starve to death at home. We can only issue letters of marque and allow them to go out to sea and rob for a living! Or let them flood into the United States as illegal refugees! Then the victim will still be the US government..."

　Well, Firi has understood that the Castro brothers are shouting at the United States: I can't survive! Give me money!

　If you don't pay, they're going to turn Cuba into a Caribbean pirate nation, with everyone going to sea and robbing Americans for a living...

　——Well, about two hundred and fifty years ago, it seems that there really was a "Pirate Republic" in the Caribbean!

　Firi's first reaction to the Castro brothers' threats and extortion was to refuse.

　If you Cubans want to be pirates, then go ahead and be pirates! The navy and coast guard will be responsible for clearing them out. What does that have to do with a spy like me?

　Anyway, no matter how powerful the Pirates of the Caribbean are, they can't seize California where the Kim family lives - there is a Rocky Mountains between them!

　But the problem is that Firi still has to continue to maintain relations with Cuba and find ways to help the CIA gain benefits from the island of Cuba!

　Therefore, in order to prevent the talks from collapsing, Firi really has to come up with a win-win solution as soon as possible - of course, it is impossible to give Cuba another Marshall Plan transfusion. There are no US troops stationed in Cuba anymore, so how can Congress invest a lot of money?

　"Unfortunately, with just this formal surrender, it will be difficult for the Bureau to convince President Kennedy to provide any financial assistance to Cuba or carry out any post-war reconstruction projects. The most we can do is distribute some food and medicine to you through the United Nations," Firi replied, shaking his head.

　"If there's really no free aid, shouldn't there at least be some investment in building some industries for the Cuban people?"

　Raul sighed, "The land on the island of Cuba is contaminated by nuclear radiation. Neither tobacco nor sugar can be sold. If the United States does not want to see all Cubans become stowaways and pirates, it had better find a way for us to make a living. You have to let your neighbors live so that you can live too!"

　After hearing what Raul said, Ferry also had a headache.

　Under the constant bombardment of nuclear weapons from both the US and the Soviet Union, Cuba is no longer the "Sugar Bowl of the Caribbean," but a world-renowned radioactive wasteland. Even if Cuban agricultural products were grown, they would be impossible to sell at a reasonable price.

　After all, what do people think of when they think of a radioactive wasteland? Mushroom clouds?

　Wait! A mushroom cloud? Mushrooms?! Toxic mushrooms in a radioactive wasteland?!

　When talking about poisonous mushrooms, people think of taking drugs, anesthetics, and drug trafficking... This black industry seems to have some potential!

　Anyway, the buyers have fallen into drug addiction, so why would they care whether the "goods" are radioactive?

　Was it grown in the wasteland?

　Maybe it will even become more popular, and people will think that the poisonous seedlings in the wasteland are more powerful!

　Engaging in this kind of illegal business in Cuba might actually result in a win-win situation for the CIA and the Castro brothers.

　They have already changed the party name to Sugar Party, so it seems normal to sell "moon candy"?

　Fili thought for a moment and decided to go straight to the point. "Given Cuba's current state as a radioactive wasteland, it's very difficult for the United States to invest in any legal industry. I wonder if you're interested in developing some illegal industries?"

　"Illegal industry?" Raul blinked in confusion. "Can you be more specific?"

　"It's simple. To save the desperate Cuban people, are you and your brother willing to become drug lords?"

　Chapter 137: The vast wasteland has great potential!

　Raul Castro was confused by Major Ferry King's suggestion that the Cuban revolutionary regime be transformed into a "national drug lord."

　It’s not that he had any disgust or resistance, but he simply couldn’t understand the CIA’s thinking.

　Supporting a communist leader as a drug lord to export drugs to one's own country? What kind of strange Cold War strategy is this?

　Before, the Soviet Union had been assisting Cuba in building hospitals, developing industries and building refineries; after the United States took over, did it assist Cuba in growing drugs?

　Is this a technological upgrade for Cuba? Or a technological downgrade?

　Isn’t this operation too shady?

　After hearing Raul's questioning, Firi said that this matter had nothing to do with the Cold War or international games, but was only related to the CIA's slush fund.

　As we all know, the US's cover during the Cold War was "freedom." Since freedom was being advocated, the next step was to allow for unchecked freedom, allowing for arbitrary actions, and ultimately, a "small government, big society" mentality. Even if the CIA didn't traffic drugs, given the US's abysmal social management capabilities, a steady stream of foreign drugs would enter the US market through various bizarre channels, poisoning its citizens.
