Upon first seeing the email’s subject line, almost all Japanese social media influencers assumed it was a prank.


    The United States has deployed troops to Antarctica? It has also taken control of Japan’s Showa-era research station and even arrested and abused Japanese research team members?


    How is that possible?


    In their view, the US-Japan alliance is more solid than the alliances between most countries in the world.


    Moreover, Japan has always been subservient to the United States, even with utmost humility and worship. Every year, the Japanese people holdrge-scale events tomemorate and remember Matthew Perry, who invaded Japan and opened its doors to the world. Such subservience is rare in the world. Under these circumstances, how could the United States possibly harm their scientific expedition team in Antarctica?


    However, despite their doubts, human curiosity led them to open the video file in the email.


    Once they opened it, the scene in the video immediately left them speechless with astonishment.


    Armed Marines are at gunpoint at the Showa Research Station in Antarctica, where several Japanese researchers, who are only wearing underwear, are forced to expose themselves to the extreme cold.


    The Japanese research team members immediately erupted in frantic screams of pain, a truly horrific scene.


    As fellow Japanese, almost every Japanese inte celebrity felt extremely angry seeing their country’s scientific expedition members being mistreated in this way.


    They posted the received materials online almost immediately. Some posts directly condemned the atrocitiesmitted by the US military, while others questioned the authenticity of the video and hoped thatizens could help verify it. After all, AI is bing more and more popr and widespread, and the authenticity of AI videos is getting higher and higher. If this video is really made by AI, wouldn’t that be wronging our ally, the United States?


    These videos immediately caused a huge uproar on the Japanese inte upon release.


    Most people can tell that this video is definitely not fake, because it looks so real.


    Now that it can be determined that the video is not fake, all the questions are focused on why the US military would take action against the Japanese research team members? These research team members were all unarmed civilians!


    Japanese high-ranking officials also discovered the videos immediately, and the entire leadership was instantly overwhelmed,pletely unsure of how to respond.


    Through Goro Watanabe’s report, they naturally learned about the domineering behavior of the US military in Antarctica. However, they knew very well that they had no control over the US military’s actions in Antarctica, so they could only suffer in silence.


    I thought this matter could only be left to the United States to investigate, but I never expected that they would treat their own scientific expedition team members so cruelly.


    For the Japanese leadership, the mistreatment of their own research team members by the US military was not uneptable in itself; what was uneptable was that such an incident was filmed and posted online.


    After they did this, the Japanese highmand could no longer turn a blind eye.


    They immediately lodged a public protest with the United States through diplomatic channels, demanding that they immediately cease their aggression against the Japanese research team and withdraw their troops from Antarctica.


    Within a few dozen minutes, not only Japan lodged a protest, 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 that they provide a reasonable exnation for their secret deployment of troops to Antarctica and vition of the Antarctic Treaty.


    It waste at night in America.
