I put monsters and super powers in America

The deep-sea monster tore the DDG-53 apart with its bare hands, causing an uproar in public opinion around the world.

The front page headline of the Asahi Shimbun, in shocking black bold font, featured a huge question mark: "'Aegis', Broken?"

The Times was even more direct: "The twilight of hegemony? Does the stunning reversal in the Western Pacific herald a new era of power transition?"

On the Internet, all kinds of bitter sarcasm and ridicule are overwhelming.

Some people with ulterior motives edited together the White House press secretary's previous impassioned speech that "supernatural powers come from freedom of speech and freedom of thought" with the live footage of the "Leviathan" dismantling the destroyer, and added some funny circus music to the mix.

At the end of the video, there is a huge, blood-red title - "LIAR!" (Liar!)

The "United States' Invincibility Theory," which was once touted to the sky, was shattered in front of this sea monster that appeared out of nowhere and did not belong to any known force.

"Supernatural power belongs to no country or ideology. It is like a plague or a gift that comes randomly. No one can predict its next appearance, and no one can monopolize its ultimate ownership."

A senior commentator from Al Jazeera said to the camera with a serious expression during a live broadcast.

The discussion within the United States is even more intense.

White House officials emphasized that this was an isolated and extreme attack by supernatural creatures; in this incident, the "Super Marun" team performed outstandingly, and it was precisely because of their heroic intervention and containment that precious time was gained for subsequent rescue and intelligence gathering.

This just proves the great power of the United States.

win!

The White House expressed "extreme shock and anger" over the incident and has authorized the Department of Defense to use all necessary means to track down and "eliminate" this terrorist creature that poses a serious threat to international navigation safety and freedom of navigation.

The military is confident it can kill or even capture this extremely dangerous creature.

Big win!

At the same time, we also condemn a certain major country for taking advantage of the situation and illegally extracting blood samples from "Super Marun", and demand that they return the blood samples immediately and unconditionally.

But the media in the United States is not so polite.

CNN's live interview program "Global Connection".

The atmosphere in the studio was unusually solemn. The host, a veteran media figure with graying hair and eagle-like eyes, was peppering the two guests with pointed questions in his magnetic baritone.

"General Johnson, as a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, could you explain to us from a military professional perspective what this incident means for the United States' global military strategy?"

The retired general in the picture had a clean-shaven face, and the star on his shoulder shone brightly under the studio lights, but his face at the moment was darker than the bottom of a pot.

He said in a heavy tone, "Chris, I must be honest. This is the heaviest and most humiliating blow the U.S. Navy has suffered since the Pearl Harbor attack. The problems it exposes are fatal."

"Our 'Super Marun' plan and our 'supernormal weapons' appear vulnerable in the face of higher-level, truly supernormal beings. This demonstrates that our understanding and application of 'supernormal power' is still at a very rudimentary, even... incorrect, stage. We are attempting to harness supernormal power with conventional military thinking, which is itself a paradox."

"More importantly," the general's tone grew more serious, "our military presence in the Western Pacific has gone from a strength to a weakness overnight. That 'Jiaolong' has demonstrated absolute, unrivaled regional control. In its presence, our aircraft carrier battle groups are no longer mobile sea fortresses, but expensive, iron targets waiting to be targeted. This means we must reassess all our military deployments and strategic objectives in the region."

The host nodded and turned his attention to another guest, a female professor of international relations from Harvard University who was famous for her sharp critical thinking.

"Professor Anderson, from a geopolitical perspective, what impact will this 'Jiaolong incident' have on the already fragile international order?"

Professor Anderson adjusted her unique black-framed glasses, with an undisguised sneer on her lips.

"Shock? Chris, I think 'subversion' is a more appropriate word." Her voice was cold and sharp, dissecting the essence of the problem like a scalpel. "This is not just a military failure; it's the complete bankruptcy of the United States' hegemonic narrative."

"Before this, the White House and the Pentagon had been peddling a theory to the world: that extraordinary power stemmed from the freedom and openness of the United States, a reflection of its institutional strengths. They attempted to brand this emerging power as 'Made in America,' using it as another new weapon to maintain their hegemony. However, the emergence of the 'Jiaolong' was like a resounding slap in the face, a resounding blow to their faces."

"It tells the world that supernatural power belongs to no nation; it is a more primitive, more chaotic, and more unpredictable natural law. It won't show leniency to you just because you shout 'freedom and democracy,' nor will it attack others just because they 'treat poisonous vegetables.' It follows its own logic, a logic that we currently cannot fully understand."

"So," Professor Anderson concluded, "the United States now faces an awkward situation. It has opened Pandora's box and released an extraordinary specter, only to find it is completely unable to control it. It tried to use this specter to scare the world, only to find that it has backfired and dealt a heavy blow to itself."

"I even suspect that the Pentagon bureaucrats still haven't figured out what that monster is."

The above is a calm pessimistic view.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the Fox News studio is much more radical and fanatical.

The blonde anchor, known for her inflammatory remarks, was facing the camera, waving her arms and spitting.

"Liar! A bunch of complete liars! Those so-called 'experts' hiding in their ivory towers and the incompetent bureaucrats in the deep government are trying to lull us into silence with platitudes like 'understandable' and 'it takes time'!" She slammed the table, her voice shrill. "They dare not admit a simple fact - that is, this attack was not some damn 'natural phenomenon' at all! This is a long-planned war against our United States!"

"Look at this video!" She pointed to the extremely high-definition footage on the screen behind her, captured by a drone aboard the Todai research vessel. "This so-called 'Leviathan' attacked the 'Super Marun' and destroyed our warships, but left the research vessel alone unharmed! Is this normal?! Is this reasonable?! Is there such a coincidence in the world?!"

"The only explanation is this monster is a secretly developed and controlled biological weapon! They stole our 'God-given Factor' technology and used it for evil purposes! They vainly attempt to challenge our sacred order in the Western Pacific with such despicable means! This is the Pearl Harbor of the new era! An undisguised act of war!"

"We must react immediately! We should immediately declare a comprehensive, unrestricted strike against the first provocateur! Use Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers to show them who is the true master of this world!"

These highly inflammatory remarks were like pouring a bucket of gasoline on dry wood, instantly igniting the already high xenophobia among the Mahadev supporters.

The hashtag #开战# quickly topped the Twitter trending search list.

On the Internet in the Eastern superpower, most netizens are refuting the theory that "the system determines fantasy biology."

The anonymous answer with the highest number of likes, which argued that "institutional advantages bring about fantasy mapping power", has been pushed to the bottom of the question, and the comment section below it has become a large-scale ridicule scene.

"Is the original poster still here? How did the Leviathan that grew from your free soil dismantle the watchdog of your own aircraft carrier? Is the soil a bit... salinized?"

"Don't ask. The answer is this dragon also yearns for freedom and democracy, so he came all the way here to surrender, but his way of expressing it is more enthusiastic."

"That's hilarious! Just a few days ago, a bunch of people were confidently saying we'd be doomed if we didn't reflect on this. And now? What should we reflect on? Should we reflect on why our ship didn't get sunk by that monster?"

But there is also a group of people who can really help the United States find a very unique angle to win, and they can always find an angle to make the Chinese people reflect carefully.

But there is also a group of people who can really help the United States find a very unique angle to win, and they can always find an angle to make the Chinese people reflect carefully.

For example, another highly-rated answer on “Do You Know?”

"Thank you for the invitation. I just got off the aircraft carrier and have a vested interest. Let me start with the conclusion. This incident may seem like a major setback for the US military, but if we look beyond the framework of a single incident and look at it from a broader strategic perspective, this is precisely an extremely clever, textbook-level display of weakness and concealment of strength by the US."

"Many people only saw the superficial aspects of the destroyer being dismantled and the Super Marun being captured, but overlooked several key details. First, why did the Jiaolong appear during the US military exercise instead of earlier? This in itself suggests that the activation of 'supernatural powers' and high-intensity energy activity or the concentrated display of human will have some coupling relationship we don't yet understand. Through this 'failed' exercise, the US successfully tested the conditions for eliciting and observing top-level supernatural creatures at minimal cost (a soon-to-be-decommissioned destroyer and twenty expendable soldiers, most of whom are still alive). This deal is a huge win!"

"Secondly, despite its formidable power, the Leviathan, after destroying the destroyer, did not inflict further damage to Luzon or other US military bases, but instead departed on its own. What does this indicate? It indicates that its range of action and its desire to attack are limited and predictable. Once its behavior patterns are understood, it will be possible to circumvent, guide, or even entrap it through specific means in the future. In contrast, the so-called 'Great Wall of the Sea', floating on the sea, like the University of Tokyo, is truly defenseless against this elusive and extraordinary entity!"

"In summary, the United States traded a minor tactical defeat for a vastly superior strategic advantage, successfully drawing global attention to the issue of 'how to deal with uncontrollable supernatural beings,' thereby cleverly mitigating the negative impact of its defeat in the tariff war. This drastic determination and superb strategic maneuvering skills are still worthy of our learning and... vigilance."

No, can this win?

Even if the American boss loses, he still wins, right? Even the American media wouldn't dare win like that; this guy's German winning style is definitely a master.

As for the bald UP host on Bilibili who is famous for being "too bold" and "good at defining", he has rushed out a 40-minute "in-depth analysis" video overnight. The text version was also published on "The Story of Minglan" at the same time, and the title was full of doomsday urgency.

In the video, he made no mention of his previous comments about "institutional determinism" or "autumn shock," but instead shifted the topic to: "Leviathan has appeared: the end of hegemony, or the end of civilization? Time really isn't running out for us."

In the video, the "media warrior" was still sitting at his iconic desk, his face solemn as if the sky had fallen, his tone filled with grief.

"I don't want to rehash those military technical details; they're no longer important! I simply want everyone to consider a fundamental question: when a godlike being, far beyond our ability to understand and confront, descends, will our existing order based on nation, state, and ideology still hold any meaning?"

"The 'Leviathan' incident completely shattered our last remaining illusions! It tells us that in the face of absolute, incomprehensible, transcendental power, the so-called 'national treasures' and the so-called 'great power game' are nothing more than children's sandbox games! Today it can easily dismantle an American destroyer, and tomorrow it can easily flatten one of our coastal cities!"

"We're still gloating over our pitiful tactical victory, still mocking our opponent's embarrassment. Little do we know that this isn't an equal confrontation at all! This is the gods looking down on two groups of fighting ants! And we are one of those ants that could be crushed at any moment!"

"What we should do most now is not to gloat over misfortune or to isolate ourselves from the world! Instead, we should set aside all prejudices and arrogance and immediately! Right now! Learn from the United States, which possesses the most advanced 'super-tech'! Cooperate with them! Establish a 'United Earth Government', even if it means giving up some existing, narrow interests. Let's pool the wisdom and resources of all mankind to face this unprecedented survival crisis together! This is the only correct path!"

"Otherwise, when the wrath of Leviathan descends upon us, it will be too late! By then, we won't even have the chance to shout out 'friendly visit'!"

Ah, yes, yes, when the big daddy of the beautiful country wins, he wins big, but when the big daddy of the beautiful country loses, he takes it all to the whole of humanity and drags Tokyo University down with him, right?

Of course, the main dragon didn't care about it. It was the weekend now, and he was sitting comfortably on the sofa, eating the tomato beef risotto made by Tifa, and counting the wish prompts that emerged in his mind.

He was as happy as a fisherman returning home with a full catch!

[+30K willpower, from the fear, pain, frustration, and relief and fear of the "Super Marun" team after surviving the disaster.]

The main dragon did not let the Dallas dragon kill "Super Marun"; after all, these guys are also extraordinary people, and only if they are alive can they provide a lot of willpower for themselves.

[+50000 wishes, heated discussions and arguments from the American people.]

[+250000 wishes, online carnival and various discussions from netizens in the Eastern country.]

[+60000 wishes, discussions from people in other parts of the world.]

[+10000 wishes, from the various government departments of the United States.]

……

Later, there were the 10,000 wishes contributed by the people of Anduriel, the 20,000 wishes contributed by naval officers and soldiers from various countries who participated in the exercise, the 20,000 wishes contributed by those who had experienced it firsthand, and so on.

Finally, at the end of the day, the number temporarily settled at 50!

I invested 100,000 yuan and earned 500,000 yuan in one day. That's a 500% return rate! I made a killing!

Moreover, this is only the income from the first two days.

Although the discussion will cool down later, it will still provide him with a lot of wish power.

At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind again.

[+80 Willpower, from the White House's murderous intent and frustration towards the Dallas Dragon.]

[+30 Willpower, from the White House's murderous intent against the Sioux.]

"Oh……"

The Dragon Master then remembered that he had a plan for "both China and the United States to bloom"; now that the flower of the University of Tokyo has bloomed, it is time to let the flower of the United States bloom as well!

30 (Part 1). If I can’t beat the foreigners, can I beat you?!

The Oval Office.

On the desk, scattered about were a thick stack of reports urgently written by the CIA and the Pentagon's Joint Intelligence Analysis Center.

On the cover of the report, the words "Top Secret" were marked in bold red font.

The report is titled "Preliminary Assessment and Response Plan for the 'Leviathan' Extraordinary Creature Incident in the Western Pacific." On the first page, several images of the behemoth, taken by satellites and drones, were printed, after being magnified and clarified several times. Next to them were various mind-numbing data analyses: "It is estimated to be over 120 meters long," "The maximum underwater speed may exceed 80 knots," "The epidermal scales can withstand direct hits from 127mm naval guns," and "The high-pressure water jets from the mouth... The energy level is inestimable." In the column for species attribution, there was a large, uncertain question mark, followed by a series of biologists' speculations: "A suspected surviving giant marine reptile? An unknown variant of the Mosasaur or Pliosaur family? A genetic mutation? Or... an alien creature?"

"Snapped."

The report was slammed on the table.

"Waste! A bunch of waste! We spent hundreds of billions of taxpayers' military dollars to raise a bunch of idiots who can't even deal with a giant deep-sea lizard! I don't care what it is! A dragon or a Leviathan! I just want to know, how can we kill it?!"

The Defense Minister stood aside, beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He swallowed hard and replied in a dry voice, "According to the estimates of our emergency assessment team composed of our top physicists and biologists... conventional weapons... are unlikely to be effective in inflicting a fatal blow on that behemoth."

"We may... need to mobilize..."

He paused and uttered the word that was enough to make the whole world tremble.

"Tactical nuclear weapons."

Of course, this proposal was met with only an angry rejection.

"No! It's too sensitive there!"

"Listen, we just want to kill that deep-sea monster, not go and poke the ass of the relevant major powers and let them jump three feet high and throw missiles at our bases on the island chain!"

"We're still waiting for their call! Can you come up with a more reliable idea?"

The defense minister pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can find a way to lure that monster to the South Pacific."

"If we use tactical nuclear weapons there, the Eastern powers will only make a few noises at the United Nations. Moreover, as long as our major allies in the South Pacific agree, the Eastern powers will have nothing to say."

This proposal is finally somewhat feasible.

"Okay! So what are you waiting for!? Waiting for me to praise you!? Why don't you just do it!?"

Just as the Secretary of Defense escaped from the Oval Office as if he had been pardoned, the Secretary of the Interior came in trembling.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but there's an urgent matter I need to report to you."

An impatient roar came out: "Speak! It better be something serious! Otherwise I will throw you out of this window!"

The Secretary of the Interior shuddered at the force and instinctively took a half step back. He swallowed, forced himself to remain calm, opened the folder, and reported rapidly, "It's...it's South Dakota. The Sioux Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation...their protests have escalated again."

"A bunch of Indians?" The old voice was filled with undisguised contempt and irritation. "How much trouble can those redskins who are drunk all day and live on government welfare cause? Didn't I approve the unlimited use of rubber bullets and tear gas last time? Send them back to their tents!"

"No, it's different from last time." The Minister of the Interior lowered his voice, sweat breaking out on his face. "They... they've started attacking the construction crew of the Keystone pipeline. Just this morning, they used rocks and... homemade Molotov cocktails to burn a brand new Caterpillar excavator! The local riot police fired tear gas, but they couldn't control the situation. Now the two sides are in a fierce standoff, and bloodshed could... break out at any moment."

"What?!" The voice suddenly rose, and at the same time, the photos sent back from the scene were spread out on the desk.

In the photo, a blazing excavator is emitting billowing black smoke. In the background, there is a group of Indians with traditional oil paint on their faces, waving sticks and Molotov cocktails. There is unyielding anger in their eyes. They are confronting rows of riot police holding riot shields. The scene is tense.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" The photo was thrown to the ground and crazy curses continued to be heard.

"Damn you! How dare you burn my excavator!"

The Keystone oil pipeline is the most critical part of the "Drill, baby, drill!" energy policy that the administration has been pushing since coming to power. It is an important political achievement project for him to fulfill his promise to the Texas oil tycoons and Midwestern blue-collar workers who supported him!

The planning of this pipeline existed as early as the O'Heid era.

At that time, in order to appease the Indians, the Ohei government had vowed that the pipeline would be rerouted to bypass their so-called "holy land" where no one lived.

But when the current president came to power, the actuarial report produced by his staff made him tear up the ridiculous agreement without hesitation!

A detour? That would mean billions of dollars in construction costs, the hassle of expropriating countless private territories along the way, and lawsuits from environmental groups! Going directly through the reservation would be the cheapest, and the federal government would have final say over the land on the reservation, eliminating the need to negotiate with the Indians!
