Chapter 245: Freedom That Collapsed with a Bang

PS: The monthly pass is more zuihou a change, and 4,000 words are sent.

I faithfully hope that everyone will not take it out of context. There is a change to be sent later, and the ticket cannot be broken.

――――――

Inside the presidential plane, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Everyone didn't dare to gasp loudly, let alone make a sound.

Because on the way back to Washington, they have received the latest satellite pictures of Washington, the Pentagon, Capitol Hill, and the White House, and there is no place where they can see the original appearance.

Whether it was Obama or Hagel, or the staff and secretaries on the plane, when they saw the satellite pictures, they instantly thought of rejoicing instead of anger. Because only a few minutes ago, they left the White House. And a few minutes later, the White House was gone.

Of course, anger also comes quickly, and it is still a mid-rise rage. As Obama, who personally ended bin Laden, there is a lot of popular prestige that comes to end the terrorist threat, and today, it is a complete slap in the face, or the kind of "pop" sound that can be clearly heard by the whole shijie, and you can also see a pair of big palms heavily incited on the faces of Obama and the whole United States.

The Empire State Building was hijacked by terrorists, and Washington was hit by the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Even if war breaks out, the scene is nothing more than that. If the previous terrorist attacks were just rats in the dark, then the current terrorist attacks are poisonous snakes in the dark, and the lethality is even greater.

"There are also two hijacked airliners, leave it alone, just destroy it." Combined with the latest news, Obama immediately asked, it is no longer possible to afford greater losses.

The secretary hurried away. However, in less than twenty seconds, he walked in with an even more ugly face. Seeing the secretary's face twisted together. Everyone's hearts trembled again, could it be .......

"Get the latest news. The FBI's headquarters in Washington, D.C., was hit thirty seconds earlier by one of three hijacked Dreamliners. There is also a Zuihou Dreamliner, which was originally flying in Virginia and crashed into the CIA headquarters in Virginia at the same time. At present, the two buildings have caught fire and burned, and because the passenger planes are all hitting the waist, the buildings may collapse at any time. A bleak voice came from the secretary's mouth. Everyone was silent again.

Obama even pinched himself to see if he was dreaming or if God was playing a joke on him. However, the perception of pain made it clear to him that dreaming was nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

"Mr. President, the most important thing for us now is to calm the hearts of the people and prevent new terrorist attacks." Hagel whispered after half a sound.

Obama nodded a little lonely. Agreed to Hagel's suggestion, and then his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said sharply: "Issue the highest alert order in the country, and all troops and any overseas bases will be raised to the highest alert level, all troops." All in real combat condition. The telegram ordered the Supreme Command of the National Guard to station live ammunition in major cities, all customs and flights. All flights were grounded and all borders were sealed. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Civil Affairs Bureau, National Police Agency, ....... Listen to the entire network and all phone calls, sift through any suspicious objects, and rather kill the wrong ones. ”

"And the terrorists in the Empire State Building in New York?"

"Resolutely knock it out."

As one order after another was given, everyone could feel the boundless anger that flowed from the order.

No one tries to persuade anything, and once you find your target, war is inevitable.

――――――

At this moment, in New York, they did not feel what was happening in Washington, and three minutes after the attack on Washington, all the media in the United States simultaneously inserted the time of the attack on Washington. No matter who you are, you can deeply feel the depression that precedes the storm.

On the Empire State Building, however, there was a moment of tranquility.

The man in glasses stood quietly on the observation deck, his eyes closed, listening to all kinds of chaotic sounds coming from the headphones, searching for the code he was interested in. After the Washington attack, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled rarely.

"Second course!" I don't know who he's talking to, maybe it's talking to himself. But the passengers around them who were still squatting trembled in their hearts. Although they don't know exactly what's going on in the United States right now, just seeing the crazy look in the eyes of the man with glasses is enough to terrify each of them.

By this time, the police below had all been withdrawn, and the army had taken over completely. The crowd of onlookers around them also disappeared consciously. The Empire State Building, three or four blocks around, has gradually emptied itself in just a few minutes.

Because fear has begun to spread, whether it is the confrontation of heavy firepower, or the recent news of the terrorist attack on Washington, D.C., has already made everyone's heart breed the idea of self-defense from danger. Who knows, what will happen here next.

Especially when the army took over, the atmosphere became extremely tense. However, in Hudson Point Park, which is more than ten kilometers away from the Empire State Building, in Hudson Point Park, which is only seven or eight hundred meters away northwest of Liberty Island, many tourists are on the breakwater, holding cameras, taking pictures of the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

The Statue of Liberty is located at the western end of Liberty Island, and visitors must pass through a transition wheel to get to the island. Every day, a large crowd gathers here, and a large number of tourists come to Liberty Island to visit the inside of the Statue of Liberty.

Today, the terrorist attack on the Empire State Building has had a huge impact here, Liberty Island was closed urgently, and all travelers began to leave the island, and by now, more than a dozen waves of travelers have left by boat. The number of stranded travelers on the entire island, except for the staff, is not very large.

And Hudson Point Park, which was already crowded with people, those who had just left the island, travelers, after disembarking, gathered here and had not yet left.

The crowd is also talking, whether it is American tourists or foreign tourists. Now the object of conversation is the terrorist attack on the Empire State Building in New York. There are quite a few travelers with binoculars. They all began to look toward the Empire State Building, though they probably didn't know anything. But that doesn't hinder their curiosity.

At this time, five or six wandering artists dressed as Americans also attracted the attention of many people. Especially the huge guitar case on the back of each of them, which stops at the very corner of the breakwater. The crowd consciously dispersed, this kind of small procession, which is common in the United States, and people only cast curious glances. They prefer these self-reliant people to the homeless people on the streets, if they sing well. That people don't skimp on dollars in their pockets.

The six "singers" dressed in ordinary clothes began to get busy, and under the watchful eyes of the surrounding people, they opened the boxes they were carrying, however, when the contents were revealed, fear instantly spread through the crowd.

"Ahh After screaming, the crowd began to rush backwards in a panic, and at the same time, more and more people followed. Maybe they didn't see the contents of the box. But you can see the muzzles of the guns shaking in the crowd.

As one gunshot rang out, the crowd became even more chaotic. Hudson Point Park, which was already densely populated, has now become a mass escape. Every shot rang out. It all rang in their minds, and their hearts trembled.

After a series of shots in the sky, see the chaotic crowd and the park. Six terrorists have three alerts, and the police will arrive soon. The remaining three were quick to carry the individual anti-tank missiles in the huge guitar box.

The shells were on their way. It's already filled in. The sighting device was turned on, and the microcomputer had locked on to the Statue of Liberty more than 700 meters away.

Three anti-tank missiles. Dragging the blazing tail flames, it swooped down on the base of the Statue of Liberty. Three shells hit the base of the statue of the god in granite at the same time, engraved with the American poetess Emma Brown. Nasa Lochi's famous poem "The New Giant": "Let those who have been exhausted and penniless after a long journey because they want to breathe the air of freedom snuggle up to each other and throw themselves into my arms!" I stood at the golden gate, holding aloft the lamp of freedom. ”

There was no chance of any chance, and after a violent explosion, debris flew, and the waters around Liberty Island seemed to have encountered a sudden rainstorm, and there were circles of ripples everywhere. It was the masonry of the Statue of Liberty pedestal, and when the smoke cleared, a piercing "crunch" sound of steel tearing was heard in the distance.

Hudson Point Park, all the tourists couldn't help but stop, many people have taken out their cameras or mobile phones, recording the spectacular scene in front of them, the base of the Statue of Liberty was blown off half, missing most of the bearing point, coupled with the huge shock caused by the explosion, the Statue of Liberty, which weighs 225 tons of steel copper structure, began to tilt.

The "crunch" sound was getting louder and louder, and the Statue of Liberty had poured nearly fifteen degrees, and just after everyone raised their hearts, the sound disappeared, and the Statue of Liberty did not continue to tilt. It turned out that on the other side, the rivets that held the idol in place played a role in saving the Statue of Liberty, which was facing collapse.

It doesn't end there, though.

At this moment, the police had arrived, but their steps were blocked by three other terrorists, and the other three terrorists who operated the anti-tank missiles did not stop their movements. The second attack had already begun, and under numerous exclamations and heavy police gunfire, three anti-tank missiles, once again hit the crumbling Statue of Liberty.

After the huge explosion, an even more piercing "crunch" sound spread throughout the venue, and under everyone's gaze, the Statue of Liberty smashed directly into the Hudson River estuary, and on the statue, three huge openings were clearly visible, and the outer layer of copper had disappeared, revealing various twisted steel bars inside. And the whole idol was rumbling and splashing, and it began to sink.

At the same time, the shootout in Hudson Park is coming to an end. In the brief exchange between the police and the terrorists, all six terrorists were killed, while the police lost five or six. The main point is that the Statue of Liberty has collapsed, and nearly half of it has sunk to the bottom of the river, only half of the head is exposed to the water, and the right hand of the torch has long been broken, and the torch has become a twisted twist.

It is not like the bronze statue of the great shore of Greece

Have the arms to conquer territory

You stand majestically at the gate of the red glow and falling waves

Hold aloft the lamp and spray a thin light

The name of your condensed streamer, the Mother of the Vault Dweller

Illuminate the vastness of the land

Gaze at the long bridge harbor sprinkled with gentleness

"Hold on to your ancient and vain land and feats!" She shouted

Trembling silent lips: Put you,

The laborious, poor and lowly outcasts

The yearning to breathe freely was ruthlessly abandoned

The miserable groaning that crowded on the other side

The horror of the storm and the tumbling of the wind

Give it all to me!

I hold aloft the golden gate with my lamp held high!

For more than a century, the bronze statue of Lady Liberty towering over Liberty Island has become a symbol of friendship between the American nation and the American and French peoples, and forever expresses the lofty ideals of the American people in striving for democracy and yearning for freedom. Passengers on ships entering New York Harbor can see the standing Statue of Liberty holding the Torch of Liberty aloft. For the thousands of immigrants who came to the United States, the Statue of Liberty was a guarantee of freedom from the poverty and oppression of the old Shijie, and the Statue of Liberty became a symbol of the United States.

Today, however, the symbol of the United States, under the watchful eye of his people, falls.

Whether it was tourists or policemen, they all looked stunned. Two minutes ago, no one would have thought of this, and after two minutes, it has become a fact. Three anti-tank missiles blew up more than half of the statue's pedestal. The other three anti-tank missiles were directly attacked at the idol.

Three anti-tank missiles passed through the heavy steel structure of the idol, and there was an explosion inside the idol, and under the huge shock, it ripped off the Zuihou fixed liliang, and the idol collapsed with a bang. This scene was recorded by countless tourists.

However, they do not yet know that in the face of the United States, where the entire government is already in ruins, this Statue of Liberty is only a target for terrorist attacks. However, for ordinary Americans, the crackdown on government agencies may be sad, but it will soon pass.

But this statue, which carries the dreams of countless Americans for freedom, is simply the most noble belief in their hearts, and it collapsed like this. This is absolutely intolerable for every American. Freedom is what they worship, the government represents the nation, and the statue represents every American.

The collapse of the Statue of Liberty has brought down the freedom in the hearts of all Americans.

Li Lan's decision to attack the Statue of Liberty is to tell the United States not to put on the appearance of freedom and do things that are completely incompatible with freedom. (To be continued......)
