MasukThe agreement in the room was unanimous, so the press secretary continued, "I'll reach the Oval Office in fifteen. Notify every reporter stationed in Washington and have them at the White House press briefing room within the hour. We'll use the extra forty-five minutes to come up with the best possible explanation for the actions exposed in that video.""Yes, ma'am!" Seeing how composed and clear-headed she remained under pressure, everyone seemed to find a sense of direction and confidence.The press secretary then added, "Also call SecDef to come over in twenty—we need to be on the level in the details, including their next steps, whether it's a full withdrawal or remaining at the south pole."And tell him to call the Japanese—the blame will go to them. Whether it's the research station's supervisory agency, the defense establishment, or even the cabinet itself, don't give them any room to refuse." -While the White House made calls, the military was feeling a migraine.They
As the press secretary rushed to the White House, the news of American military presence in Antarctica and subjecting the Japanese to advanced interrogation had made headlines across the world.Naturally, global interest skyrocketed because it was such a sensational scandal.It was not like the US never got rough, and they were definitely caught red-handed doing worse things than what they did to the Japanese researchers. It was why Guantanamo Bay remained ever infamous, but none of those incidents seized global attention like this one.The main reason is that the situation is simply strange, when Japan-American ties were stronger than even British-American relations, so it really left one baffled that the American military was suddenly caught giving some Japanese a whooping.In addition, America's military presence in the Antarctic meant its warmongering reached even the last place untouched by war. One might even say that the moment they landed, their iron fist had covered the wh
The press secretary sprang out of bed after getting the call, screaming hysterically, "What?! The Antarctic deployment somehow made the internet?! How the hell did the military commit such a rookie mistake?!"Her outburst jolted her thirtyish husband awake, and he sat up and asked, "What's wrong, babe? You scared me."The press secretary smiled apologetically, "Sorry, emergency. I need to take this—stay in bed, babe."With that, she hurried out of her bedroom with her phone, snapping angrily, "What I want to know is how evidence of a covert operation ended up on the internet!"Her assistant sighed on the other end. "I've made inquiries, while the NSA and CIA also tried to track down the original uploader, but whoever did it covered their tracks well. Everything from the server to the IP address was untraceable, and the base crew can't even tell who recorded those videos and photos."Pacing around anxiously, the press secretary groaned, "Those incompetent losers! Get everyone to t
Naturally, the title led most popular Japanese influencers to presume it was a prank.The Americans, sending their army to the South Pole? Taking over the Showa research base and torturing their research crew?Was that even possible, when Japan-US relations were stronger than a lot of other alliances between countries?Moreover, Japan had always deferred to US leadership with humility, and big-brother worshiped to the point that they commemorate Matthew Perry, who invaded their own country and forced them to open their borders. With such elements in mind, why would the Americans be motivated to harm some research crew in the Antarctic?Still, doubts aside, curiosity drove them to click into the media files.Some immediately thought it would have been better if they hadn't, as what they saw shocked them to the core: fully-armed Navy SEALS, standing outside Showa research base, forcing the Japanese research crew to stand outside in the winter cold, wearing nothing but their underpan
The more stubborn the research crew was, the more motivated the Americans were to make them talk.The White House even issued directives—they were to seize the base and subdue and interrogate the entire crew, while confiscating all their equipment, which would be sent to experts for analysis of usage and the like.With orders direct from the White House, the colonel rallied the American forces and began searching the trail the rogue convoy had left behind while exploring the Antarctic.Charlie waited until they were all gone before leaving the Showa Base too. Still, he didn't return to the Norwegian base right away, instead connecting to satellite networks to send Merlin videos of the Americans abusing the Japanese research crew, along with them boarding armored vehicles and leaving Showa Base.Then, he called Merlin and instructed, "Have the AI module gather contact details of major online influencers—preferably emails, and send them the videos through secure links."Naturally,
After being exposed to sub-zero temperatures, the Japanese crew returned indoors with normal temperatures. The difference of over a hundred degrees immediately left their skin flushed like it was burnt, and the itch got worse than when they were outside, some of them scratching themselves so hard they were bleeding all over.The colonel was surprised that less than a minute outside was enough to inflict such damage.Even he began to worry that he had overdone it.If the Japanese cranked up their protests and the White House felt compelled to do something, he's going to be punished for it.Still, he soon decided he didn't care—the more they dug into this incident, the more suspicious everything looked.If they gave up, they would be missing a huge opportunity—but if they pressed on, he might just score big.They were supposed to move the Japanese crew here to McMurdo base anyway. Since they were hurt, he just had to keep them here a little while until they recover. If they complai

Porter was also a little excited at this time.Although he had been running Ten Thousand Armies for many years, he never imagined that Ten Thousand Armies could have its own satellite communication system.This was definitely a qualitative improvement!Since Hugo had agreed to his
Hugo’s expression was obviously a little unnatural when work was mentioned.To be exact, he was proud of his status as a student who had been sponsored by the government, but he suddenly had low self-esteem when he mentioned that he was going to Mexico to work.Charlie was keenly aware of his changes.
