Chapter 702: State of Emergency
The premise of distinguishing things from each other is the existence of boundaries. In this interdependent world, boundaries have only relative meaning. By overrun, we mean transcending everything that is called or can be understood as a limit. It doesn't matter if it's material, spiritual or technical, because the transcendence of boundaries is the transcendence of methods.
This passage is a bit awkward, and the translation is plain, that is, for the sake of victory, you can do anything.
For example, in the Western world, the rules of warfare are laid down, and civilians are not allowed to be harmed, and attacks are only aimed at the enemy's troops, and the enemy's living forces are destroyed as much as possible by means of precision strikes. However, there is a prerequisite for such a battle, that is, science and technology are highly developed and all kinds of precision-guided weapons are possessed.
Moreover, the Americans' wars are fought on the territory of other countries, and no matter what boundaries the Americans propose, they will only bring disaster to the civilians of the other country, and even if they do not harm the civilians, those civilians will inevitably leave their homes in order to escape the war, resulting in a wave of refugees.
Beyond boundaries! How to surpass? Naturally, let the flames of war ignite on American soil! Let the Americans know that they are waging war everywhere and that eventually the war will be fought on their homeland as well! When bullets fly over their heads, when roadside bombs explode where their vehicles pass, they will feel the fear of the wars that their country has waged, and they will experience the pain of civilians in other countries!
In order to launch this unrestricted war, the Iraqi side prepared for a long time, and even with the help of the Soviet Union's intelligence agencies, it transported so many personnel and weapons to the United States.
The action led by the bearded Ben in later generations is just a drizzle compared to the current action!
For the first time. The U.S. military did not react at all, and for the time being, it is still a public order issue, which should be handled by the U.S. police.
It's a pity that the police are okay with one or two gangsters, and they can deal with this kind of warrior who has been specially trained to fight specifically for unrestricted warfare. It's just too backward, and even the weapons of the police are only pistols.
In this way, the situation in the United States fell into chaos for a time, and gunfire broke out in various places.
It was only the people who were lurking in the world who began to make trouble, but after discovering that American society was beginning to be in turmoil. Some restless guys immediately joined in.
The United States is rich and the people live a stable life, but that is only for the rich and the middle class, and under the glamorous appearance of the United States, there are still many poor Americans living in slums, and although there is a perfect social welfare system, many people still do not have access to sufficient social resources. Living in hardship.
These people are dissatisfied with society. In particular, black people in the United States are the most.
And in addition to these people with American citizenship, in the United States, there are tens of millions of people living in the shadows, that is, poor people smuggled from other countries, in order to earn more money, sell their labor. He overcame all kinds of difficulties, came to the United States, did the lowest job, earned the least wage, and went into hiding. At any time, they are afraid that they will be found by the police and repatriated.
Some of them are ambitious.
Now, seeing that American society is beginning to be in turmoil, they do not hesitate to follow behind the saboteurs, anyway, American guns are too easy to get, they came to the United States, originally to make a fortune, and now they have such a good opportunity to make a fortune, how could they miss it?
"Buzz, buzz." The sound of motorcycles sounded, and a large-displacement motorcycle, carrying two Mexicans and carrying guns, drove quickly through the streets.
The front dashboard of this motorcycle has been smashed, and apparently, this large-displacement toy was also snatched by them.
"Crunch." With the sharp sound of brakes, the motorcycle stopped next to a gold shop on the outskirts of New York City, and the two men rushed into the gold shop with guns.
"Boom!" A grenade blew open the fence gate where the gold shop fell, and the two rushed in.
"Da-da-da-da." A shuttle of bullets swept over, and the security guard of the gold store fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
Although they learned that there was chaos in New York City and that the gold store was closed in a hurry, they just didn't expect that someone would rob it with a gun in broad daylight!
The security guard was killed in an instant, and the owner of the gold shop looked at the two guys who came in, his legs trembling.
The two black men didn't bother with the shopkeeper, and now they need to snatch all the gold items from the gold shop in the shortest possible time!
"Smack!" The butt of the gun smashed hard, the glass counter shattered, and they quickly took out the various jewelry inside and stuffed it into their bags.
The owner of the gold shop watched with wide eyes, and at this time, the fear of death had disappeared, and instead he was saddened by the loss of his wealth.
At this moment, the son of the owner of the gold shop, a sixteen-year-old boy, ran in through the back door, with an M4 rifle in his hand.
"Bang bang." Two bursts flew over the heads of the two black men.
It was then that the blacks realized the danger, and they quickly hid by a counter and fired at the boy, alternating backwards.
After not completing all the robberies and only grabbing two counters, the two were still very satisfied, escaped from the store, jumped on the motorcycle, and the two of them sped away.
In the United States, private ownership of firearms is allowed, in fact, this is a practice of hiding soldiers from the people, once a new conscription is needed, these civilians who can master shooting skills will be reserve soldiers.
Of course, private ownership of guns has also led to some shootings, and as it is now, the guns of these two gangsters were obtained from private individuals in the United States.
Such scenes are constantly being staged, and vicious incidents have occurred in New York, Los Angeles, from the East Coast to the West Coast, in various big cities.
The domestic situation in the United States as a whole is rapidly deteriorating.
The news, which was also constantly converging on Air Force One flying in the sky, recovered from the initial shock, and as the news increased, the elder Bush finally understood what was happening.
It was a premeditated terrorist attack! Damn it! Since the Civil War, there has not been such a vicious incident on American soil! Even in World War II, where the most people died, the United States did not receive any harm!
Now, in the United States, there are gunshots everywhere!
"Who did it? Be sure to check it out thoroughly! Bush Sr. said: "The FBI and the CIA must take action to investigate the real culprits behind the scenes, and they will pay a price for doing so!" ”
This was a great humiliation, even more humiliating than Pakistan's test of a nuclear bomb. After all, Pakistan's test of a nuclear bomb is only a diplomatic influence, and these terrorist attacks in the United States will completely make the American people feel that war is so close.
The most powerful symbol of the United States, just like the ancient Romans, the American government will protect every one of its people in the world! But now, the U.S. government can't even defend the people on its own soil!
The latest data has not yet been counted, but the current data shows that nearly 10,000 Americans have been killed or injured in these attacks, and an atmosphere of panic has begun to spread in the country!
"Mr. President, our country has reached the most dangerous juncture, and now, the most important thing is to stabilize order in our country, and it may be time for us to declare a national emergency." That's when the sober-minded Vice President Dan Quill said.
A state of emergency was declared! This is simply an announcement that the US Government has not properly handled the problem of domestic law and order, and will not be able to raise its head in front of the whole world.
However, there is no other choice, and the sudden outbreak of the Internet virus in the past has dealt a heavy blow to the financial order of the United States. And now, this kind of violence that has erupted everywhere in the United States has thrown the entire national order of the United States into chaos.
In this case, the US economy will also suffer a heavy blow, and once there is a big problem in the US economy, the United States will lose its current hegemonic status!
The Soviet Union will watch the excitement from the sidelines, while Europe will try in vain to claim more power, and Saddam Hussein in the Middle East will watch the American jokes.
Saddam! Thinking of this guy, Bush Sr. suddenly had a stirring spirit in his head, and all this now should not be caused by Saddam's madman, right?
"At this time, it's time to send our troops." Defense Secretary Cheney followed: "Our police force is simply unable to cope with the current situation, so we can only declare a state of emergency in the country, let the army take over the security and prevention work, and as long as there are rioters, we will immediately correct the law on the spot!" ”
The police are simply not able to deal with this large-scale disorder of law and order, and can only deter these people by stationing them in major cities, conducting security patrols, and killing anyone as soon as they dare to continue to cause disorder.
Those who are unemployed, rioters, and smugglers should be subject to the strictest control!
"Okay, let me sign a presidential decree to impose martial law throughout the country and comprehensively investigate the rioters in the country!" Bush Sr. said: "Let us act immediately to restore order in the country!" ”
Whether it is the Iraq war or the deterrence of Pakistan, it must be put aside for the time being, and the domestic situation must be maintained first.
"Mr. President, we have the latest information." At this moment, Robert Jimmitt, the national security adviser who hurriedly walked over from the cabin next to him, said and turned on the TV on the plane. (To be continued.) )
