Retired Navy SEAL Sergeant Jill Robinson, a thirty-three-year-old manly man with blonde hair, a deep, melancholy gaze, and an angular face like a knife, is the focus of women's attention wherever Robinson goes. A man is handsome is an advantage, and in addition to being handsome, there are other capital is ability.

At 6 feet 2 inches, Robinson is not like most of the SEALs, he has a muscular body and can fight, but he usually flirts with girls like a straw bag. He took advantage of the military tuition and went on to attend an Ivy League university to study international trade and economics, and earned an MBA. His good image coupled with good eloquence, keen thinking ability and decisive courage cultivated in his military career make him invincible in the workplace.

Both the Navy SEALs and the military regard Robinson as an excellent representative of U.S. military veterans, and often participates in some of the social activities organized by the military. Of course, the purpose is nothing more than to cover up the poverty and poverty of a large number of retired US soldiers, and it is difficult to integrate into society, and there are many problems.

Robinson is now working for a multinational company as a middle manager, and his future is bright, perhaps not long before he becomes an executive at the company, and is sent to Europe or Asia for two or three years, and then returns to the top of the company's headquarters.

In the bustling city of Manhattan, New York, it is crowded and busy, and Robinson, who works the city, will not drive over because finding a parking space can be a headache. Coming out of the subway station, Robinson bought a newspaper at a newsstand, flipped through a few as he walked, and he had a wide range of interests and many things, from economic and social affairs to sports politics.

"Ah, is China in a trade dispute with the United States again? It's been getting more and more frequent in the past two years! Robinson saw a piece of news and couldn't help but mutter. Thinking of the company he worked for, it was also frequently chased and blocked by competitors from China, and American companies had to join forces to resist the attacks of Chinese companies over the years. However, although the cost of production in China has increased relative with the appreciation of the new renminbi, in general, almost any commodity made in China is cheaper than that of the United States.

This allows China to take advantage of its price advantage to sweep the global market, especially the United States, which has huge consumption power, and Chinese goods have been poor for 10 years, and even exceed the market share of domestic goods in most areas. The U.S. government has to come up with rounds of anti-dumping, anti-monopoly, green barriers, and other means under various names to protect its domestic enterprises and prevent Chinese from making money in the United States.

Since the end of the 90s, the trade friction between China and the United States has become normalized, and the tone of the two sides has become more and more. In particular, in the past two years, the US Government has disregarded even the basic face of the US authorities, and in the lawsuits filed by China against the US authorities and some enterprises in the United States, it has openly shown favoritism and disregarded the truth, and forcibly ruled against the Chinese enterprises, causing heavy losses to the Chinese enterprises.

Robinson, as a middle-level manager of a multinational company involved in trade, has naturally been exposed to a lot of these contents, and even his company has been involved in one such lawsuit, which is a case against a Chinese company for dumping in the United States. In the lawsuit, the U.S. court directly ruled against the Chinese company, and his company could receive a huge amount of damages. However, if the company did not get the money, the Chinese company would not accept the fine so easily, and the fine amounted to billions of dollars, and it was an unfair judgment, and the Chinese company withdrew from the US market in anger, and it was impossible to admit the account.

Robinson thought: "China and the United States have come to this point, normal laws and rules can no longer restrain these two hostile countries, economic contradictions, ideological differences, and global interests competition, so that China and the United States can maneuver less and less." If one is not careful, it can be a big war. ”

To some extent, Robinson felt that the contradictions between China and the United States were more urgent and acute than those between the United States and the Soviet Union. China, on the other hand, has clearly shown a strong mentality of gaining dominance on a global scale, which is a clear challenge to US hegemony. Moreover, the exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union were not close back then, but there were frequent economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States, and the United States has seriously harmed China's practical interests by making this move, and if the United States is allowed to bully itself in such a shameless manner, China may suffer in more places in the future, and obviously China cannot accept this.

Robinson felt that he could not solve such a problem with his own intelligence and talent, and it was obvious that China and the United States did not intend to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, but had a life-and-death mentality, and it was impossible to mediate the contradictions between the two sides. Thinking of this, he didn't think about it anymore, continued to flip through the newspapers, and saw another new big news -- the Shia-controlled areas of southern Iraq declared their independence, established the Babylonian Republic, denied the authority of the Iraqi central government, and marched northward to Baghdad.

"Obviously, this is a counterattack from the Chinese!" Robinson, who has a keen sense of politics, thinks that the United States has run Baghdad for many years, and although it is not as good as China's operation of the Southern Special Economic Zone, it can be regarded as a strong stronghold in the Middle East. Now, at a time when Kurdistan is still in turmoil, Babylon's independence and attempt to eliminate the central power in Iraq are clearly aimed at striking at American power in the Middle East. It can also be regarded as a kind of retaliation for the United States for constantly playing tricks in trade disputes.

"Now it's going to be troublesome, if the Iraqi regime is eliminated, the United States will be severely affected in the Middle East. Now Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and other countries recognize China more, and China also has a large fleet blockading the Persian Gulf, in order to solve its own oil hidden dangers, the United States has to contact the ban on domestic oil production. ”

Robinson bought another sandwich from the side of the street and strode briskly to the World Trade Center, where he worked. He was a bachelor and had no one to take care of his own life, so he lived a more casual life, and he seemed to have lost interest in the rest of the newspaper in his hand, and threw the newspaper into a waste newspaper recycling bin on the side of the road, with a small line printed on the headline: September 11, 2001.

After eating, holding his briefcase, Robinson hurried and glanced at Vacheron Constantin in his hand, if he didn't hurry up, he would be late. But just as he was about to hurry to the company, he suddenly heard a commotion from people.

"Look, why is the plane flying so low?"

"Damn, that's dangerous, this is Manhattan!"

The people were in an uproar, and Robinson saw the large airliner flying at a high altitude in the sky, like a drunken bird, which seemed to have lost its way.

A premonition of danger filled Robinson's body, which had been born and died on the battlefield, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he shouted, "Oh no, this is coming this way!" ”

Needless to say, everyone could see that in this direction and at this speed, the plane would crash headlong into the World Trade Tower, the landmark building in New York, where Robinson worked. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Robinson's mind, and as a former warrior, he was able to free his brain and allow himself to think quickly in a crisis situation. And even if he can think of a lot of things now, he thinks of the colleagues he sees every day in that building, and all kinds of familiar people, but in the next second, they will all be attacked!

At a high speed of 490 miles per hour, it directly hit the Boeing 767 airliner in the north building of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, and at the moment of collision with the building, a large amount of smoke and dust gushed out from the 94th-98th floors of the building, and immediately caught fire as it hit the building, and the fuel leaked from the plane was also poured on the building, thus exacerbating the fire.

Robinson couldn't believe what he saw, he kept scratching the cross on his chest, and his mouth repeatedly: "Oh my God, oh my God, oh damn God, what the hell is going on, who did it!" ”

Seeing the scene of the World Trade Center being hit by an airplane, Robinson fell into a frenzy, and began to drop building materials and other things from the building, and the crowd standing under the World Trade Center began to panic, and panic spread among the crowd. The few policemen here struggled to maintain order, but some of the same fearful cops fled with the crowd. Only a few people who still had a little composure began to flee their mobile phones to call the police and fire brigades.

When he saw the people fleeing, Robinson did not flee with everyone, but went against the crowd to rush into the building that was about to collapse to save the people there, Robinson, who was deeply influenced by personal heroism, also cultivated his courage and skills in the army, even in this scene, his fear could not overwhelm his will, he knew that as long as he went in a little earlier, he might be able to save one more person.

But before he could rush into the north building of the World Trade Tower, he saw another civil airliner in the sky flying towards the south building of the World Trade Center Building in a similar posture as the Boeing 767 just now.

"Hell, how could this be!" Robinson was desperate, there was absolutely nothing in the sky over New York to stop the faster Boeing 767, he knew it must be full of passengers, and he knew that there were at least a few thousand people working there in the south tower of the World Trade Center at this time.

The plane crashed into the building without any suspense, and an even stronger explosion was heard. And at this moment, the north building began to collapse violently, and Robinson couldn't hold back tears.

"Whoever it is, it's going to pay for it!"
