Chapter 7182
It was morning in Japan.
Many internet celebrities who make a living by creating videos are currently brainstorming content for their videos.
With so much homogenized content online and plagiarism so common,
Top influencers are now investing more in content planning,
Trying to find more unique themes and angles to attract their followers.
Many influencers have even opened email addresses for submitting materials,
Offering substantial rewards, promising to pay out once the material is accepted.
Just as many bloggers and teams were racking their brains for todayβs work,
An email suddenly appeared in their inboxes with a horrifying subject line:
The United States violated the Antarctic Treaty, secretly deployed troops to Antarctica,
Controlled the Japanese Showa Research Station,
And arrested and abused Research Team members!
Upon first seeing the emailβs subject line,
Almost all Japanese online influencers assumed it was a prank.
Is the US sending troops to Antarctica?
Controlling Japanβs Showa-era research station, even arresting and abusing Researchers?
How could that be?
In their view, the US-Japan alliance was stronger than the alliances between most countries in the world.
Moreover, Japan had always been subservient to the US, even displaying utmost humility and worship.
These people even held annual events to commemorate Matthew Perry, who invaded their country and forced it to open its doors.
Under these circumstances, how could the US possibly harm its researchers in Antarctica?
However, despite their skepticism, human curiosity led them to open the video file in the email.
What they found immediately left them speechless.
Armed Marines at the Showa Research Station in Antarctica were forcing several Researchers,
All of them were dressed only in their underwear, enduring the extreme cold at gunpoint.
The Researchers immediately erupted in agonizing screams of pain.
The scene was utterly gruesome.
Witnessing their countrymen being treated this way ignited outrage among almost every internet celebrity.
They immediately posted the footage online,
Some directly condemn the atrocities,
Others are questioning the videoβs authenticity and urging netizens to hel
Given the increasing prevalence and sophistication of AI,
And the growing realism of AI-generated videos,
They worried that if the video were indeed AI-generated,
It would unfairly accuse their ally country.
These videos immediately caused a huge uproar on the internet.
Most people could tell the video was genuine,
It was undeniably realistic.
Since the video was deemed authentic, all the questions focused on why the US military would attack its researchers.
These research team members were all unarmed civilians!
The Japanese high command discovered the videos immediately,
And was instantly overwhelmed, completely unsure how to respond.
Through Goro Watanabeβs report, they were aware of the US militaryβs domineering actions in Antarctica,
But they knew they had no control over the US militaryβs activities there,
So they could only suffer in silence.
They initially thought they could let the US investigate,
But they never expected the US to treat their own research team members so cruelly.
For the Japanese high command, the abuse of their research team members by the US military wasnβt unacceptable in itself.
What was unacceptable was that such incidents were filmed and posted online.
This forced the Japanese high command to no longer turn a blind eye.
They immediately lodged a public protest with the US through diplomatic channels,
Demanding that they immediately cease their mistreatment of the research team members and withdraw their troops from Antarctica.
Within minutes, not only Japan protested, but also China, as well as the permanent members of the UN Security Council, including the UK, France, and Russia.
All lodged strong protests with the United States, demanding a reasonable explanation for their secret military intervention and violation of the Antarctic Treaty.
It was late at night in the United States.
The White House spokesperson, who was fast asleep, jumped out of bed after receiving the report on the phone, grabbed his phone, and hysterically demanded,
βWhat?! The military intervention in Antarctica has been exposed online?β
βWhatβs going on with the military?β
βHow could they make such a basic mistake?β
Her husband, more than thirty years her senior, was fast asleep when she suddenly jolted awake by her questioning.
He sat up abruptly and instinctively asked,
βWhat happened, honey? You startled me.β
The spokesperson smiled apologetically and said,
βThereβs been a slight emergency.β
βIβm going out to take this call.β
βHoney, you can continue to rest.β
With that, she quickly grabbed her phone and left the bedroom, angrily demanding into the phone,
βI want to know, how could someone film this clandestine operation and post it online?!β
The person on the other end of the line said helplessly,
βIβve already asked the person in charge.β
βThe departments have started investigating the posterβs identity.β
βBut theyβre hiding it too well.β
βThe video was uploaded and sent through an anonymous server.β
βItβs impossible to detect.β
βThereβs no way to trace it.β
βSo they donβt know who filmed the video and uploaded it online.β
The White House spokesperson paced anxiously back and forth in the room:
βWhat a bunch of useless idiots!β
βIβm heading to the White House right now.β
βTell the other staff to come over immediately.β
βI need to meet with them to discuss tomorrowβs public statement and see how to reasonably explain this!β
The other party said awkwardly, βThe most serious problem right now isnβt how to explain our deployment to Antarctica.β
βBut why were we subjected to the Research Teamβs inhumane torture and forced confessions?β
βThis is the biggest public relations crisis right now.β
βSome people are even saying that our soldiersβ actions are no different from what the Japanese fascists did back then!β
βWhat?!β
The White House spokesperson exclaimed in shock.
βYou mean our soldiers tortured the Japanese research team?β
βTortured them? They stripped them naked and took them outdoors in Antarctica at -60 degrees Celsius,β
βAnd the whole thing was filmed and posted online!β
βIβll send you the video now, take a look!β
βQuick, send me the video!β
βOkay, sent it, please check!β
The White House spokesperson quickly opened her messaging app,
And soon received a video.
She clicked play and watched the video bit by bit,
Then she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.
Forcing herself to adjust for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said,
βIβm going to the White House now.β
βImmediately notify all relevant personnel to assemble there.β
The other party said,
βBy the way, several permanent members of the Security Council have issued diplomatic notes demanding an explanation for our deployment to Antarctica.β
βJapan is also demanding an explanation for the mistreatment of research team members.β
βThereβs widespread outrage in their country,β
βAnd theyβve started organizing demonstrations.β
βShould we inform the President?β
The White House spokesperson thought for a moment and sighed,
βItβs too late now. Letβs not disturb the Presidentβs rest.β
βHeβs been overwhelmed with problems on the island lately.β
βNow is the time for us to do everything we can to ease the Presidentβs burden.β
βWe must do this well and not cause him any more trouble!β
The other party said, βOkay,β
βIβll notify the others to go to the White House now!β
βOkay!β
The White House spokesperson hung up the phone and immediately returned to his bedroom.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she rushed to the walk-in closet to change her clothes.
Her husband, dragging his tired body, came into the closet and asked her in surprise,
βHoney, what happened? Why are you going out so late?β
While changing her clothes, she said helplessly,
βSomething serious has happened,β
βAnd I have to go there as soon as possible to deal with it!β
