Chapter 418: Battle!

At 7:59 a.m. EST on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 1 to Los Angeles took off from Boston, and then, at 8:14 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175 at the same airport and destination followed for the blue sky.

At 8:20 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77 to Los Angeles departed Washington, D.C., and 22 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 93, the target of San Francisco, took off from Newark, and by the time they stepped into the blue sky, Flight 175 in northwest New Jersey had been hijacked, turned around in the air, and headed for New York, 60 miles away.

Fifteen minutes later, at 9:02:57, the hijacked Flight 175 swept across the South Building of the World Trade Center.

Because no one knows, what's going on!

If the black smoke that could not be seen was a sight that the people of the lighthouse had never seen, then 56 minutes later, when the South Tower of the World Trade Center, which was cut off by Flight 175, collapsed, and an hour and 42 minutes later, the North Tower of the World Trade Center, which was pierced by Flight 11, collapsed, the tallest building in New York suddenly disappeared! The shattered building debris flying in all directions! The rolling dust that stirred up! While taking away countless lives, it also made the people of New York, who witnessed all this, stunned!

World Trade Center ......

Gone?

This is how New York's landmark, the World Trade Center, ......

Gone?

Oh My God!!!!!

When panicked people turn on the media equipment next to them and want to know the latest situation through the news broadcast, the real-time news broadcast by major radio stations makes their hands and feet cold!

Because before the collapse of the twin towers, the Pentagon, where the America Department of Defense is located, also suffered a suicide attack!

After the collapse of the Twin Towers, the last hijacked Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, not far from Washington!

And according to people familiar with the matter, the target of the crashed plane could be the White House!

A flurry of explosive news has sent the people of America into a frenzy!

No one thought that someone would dare to break ground on the head of the world's largest power?

No one thought that as the world's largest country, their homeland would be attacked?

No one thought that the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington were all targets of the other side?

You know, the last time Japan dared to drop a sailboat bomb on their homeland, it ended up eating two atomic bombs!

If these things are too long ago, what about Operation Blue Bat, which liberated Lebanon three months later? What about Operation Fury, which put down Grenada in eight days? What about the 'Golden Canyon Operation' that bloodbathed Libya in 23 minutes? What about Operation Just Cause, which dismembered Panama's military forces for eight hours, and Operation Desert Storm, which pacified Iraq for 42 days?

When they have the absolute strength to crush the world, who still dares to provoke them?

When they were able to sweep everything, there were still people who went straight to their native Americas?

This, this, this......

The three views of the people of the lighthouse country have collapsed!

Especially when at 10:53 a.m., Secretary of Defense Henry Rumsfeld, who had only worked for himself yesterday, gave an order to the entire army to raise the DEFCON level to 3 and also bring DEFCON 2 to standby......

The darkness that is about to come is even more enveloping the whole of America!

Because DEFCON 3 is the highest state of defense in the conventional state of the US military!

If it really rises to 2, it means that a nuclear war will break out in six hours!

Of course, if it is just an aimless vigilance, it will only add to the confusion of the people of the lighthouse who are in fear, so that finding the real culprit behind it will become the job of the small bush government.

And a little more than an hour later, when Elephant Party Senator Orin Hatch told CNN that the FBI had locked on its target, Afghanistan was hit by Northern Alliance helicopter gunships at 6 p.m.

Although at half past seven, the government of Little Bush said that it was not responsible for the bombing in Kabul, but at half past eight that night, in the national television speech of Little Bush, between the lines, it was full of murderous air -

"Today, our compatriots, our way of life, our freedoms are under attack by a series of deliberate and deadly acts of terrorism!

A Terrorism attack can shake the foundations of our largest buildings, but it can't touch the foundations of the United States!

These acts of terrorism have destroyed the steel, but they cannot weaken the steely determination of the United States in the slightest!

We are looking for those behind these acts of Terrorism!

We will not distinguish between the Terrorists who commit these crimes and the Terrorists who try to cover them up! ”

When such fiercely worded words appeared, the madness of revenge spread to all corners of America in an instant!

NBC host Jim Ryan, who has been broadcasting since eight o'clock in the morning, yelled at the camera -

"We'll find out who's behind it! And then make them pay! ”

George Webb, the ABC host who is also spinning in a row, is even more ferocious-

"None of the guys who have officially declared war on us will be able to escape!"

Briant Gubert, a former sports news anchor who broadcasts real-time news when disaster strikes, said—

"This is Pearl Harbor in the 21st century, and we must defend our country with guns and cannons like we did in World War II!"

David Assman, the anchor of the FOX channel, said-

"We will surely avenge our companions! Certain! ”

When the mainstream media such as NBC, ABC, CBS, AND FOX all exaggerated the mood of war and regarded the Terrorism attack as a declaration of war, the public opinion of America instantly became unanimous!

This approach is actually easy to understand.

After all, in "81192 received, I can't return, you keep going, repeat, you keep going!" "When it appears, who doesn't want us to go back?

Of course, the nature of the two things is different!

The former, that is able to marry a daughter like the people of Sichuan Province!

The latter, that can only be to discard illusions and prepare ____!

If the mainstream media such as NBC, ABC, CBS, AND FOX have the same view for the first time, hoping to step on the general trend and declare war on the enemy to help people who have fallen into panic to come out of the crisis, then CNN, the veteran news media that wears a pair of pants with the Elephant Party, is much more pragmatic, because they do not talk about it, nor do they cut off the connection with Washington like they did with the king, but on the basis of Washington's public information, they popularize the real problems faced by everyone at the moment.

And this popularity, there is a big problem with the special code!

"Based on CAI's intelligence, we have now been able to confirm that the Taliban militants in Afghanistan were behind the Terrorism attack, and that our enemies were hiding there."

"Even though we have military bases in the Persian Gulf that we can do directly, if we want to go to war, I'm afraid we have to have some procurement proposals approved by Congress first, because our Secretary of Defense Henry Rumsfeld has already made a speech on the 10th, and in his speech, he said that some of our military equipment is very old and must be upgraded."

"Even if he didn't specify in his speech what exactly the armaments need to be replaced, I personally feel that while we avenge the death of our compatriots, we must also pay attention to the safety of the soldiers."

"If we can deliver a long-range devastating blow to the enemy like in the Gulf War, then don't send our soldiers to get close to the enemy, because we don't want to let the Black Hawk incident continue to happen again while taking revenge!"

“……”

Speaking of which, CNN's anchor sensed that something was wrong.

"Black Hawk incident?"

After muttering the word repeatedly, he sat in the studio, his body stiffened!

At the same time, people who were watching CNN news broadcasts all remembered "Black Hawk Down", which was released only half a month ago!

And when the tragedy of '93 came into view-

Time, as if there is a standstill!

At this moment, America, who was still running like a machine, suddenly stopped.

Turning his head with difficulty and looking back at the past.

When it saw the 'Super 61' and 'Super 64' fall one after another, and the bodies of the Ranger Special Operations members being dragged on the ground by Somalis with ropes, the grievances of eight years ago came back to its heart!

"It must have been that defeat that showed the enemy that we were not invincible!"

The people of the Lighthouse Nation feel that they have seen the truth!

"It must have been that insult that made the enemy know that we actually have weaknesses!"

The people of the Lighthouse Nation feel that they have discovered the truth!

"It must have been that retreat that made the enemy think that we had lost the ability to control the situation in the world!"

The people of the Lighthouse Nation feel like they've found the key!

And when this sentiment burns like a wildfire, burning the entire American continent -

What democracy?

What freedom?

What racism?

None of this exists, okay?

Hit back!

Send those crooked guys to hell!

Make those who dare to provoke themselves pay!

That's what they want to do the most!

"Tear them apart! Avenge the dead!! ”

"Extinguish them! Let the world see what happens when we go against us!! ”

"We can't let the tragedy happen again! Make them fear at the root!! ”

If a simple slogan is not enough to reflect their anger, then when online and offline, countless awakened lighthouse citizens discovered that "Black Hawk Down" turned out to be an inspirational movie that made them feel ashamed and brave......

Something beyond common sense has appeared!

On September 12, people ignited by anger spontaneously walked into the theater!

The movie, which was released for almost three weeks and had a total box office of just over 60 million, earned 11 million on this day!

In the next few days, it was even more exaggerated!

On September 13, fourteen million!

On September 14, 19 million!

September 15, 22 million!

If that's all there is to it, then forget it!

By the time the extremists walked out of the theater with red eyes and copied out the guns they were carrying, some of the guys who had immigrated to America but were still wearing headscarves became their targets!

Chaos has begun!

On September 15, Sikhs living in Mesa, Arizona, were shot at......

On the same day, Coptic Christians in San Gabriel, California, were baptized......

Pakistani businessman living in Dallas, Texas, was shot dead in the street......

The Saudi, who studied in Boston, was shot in the head......

Those guys in hijabs have endured the wrath of the American people!

Bloodshed, one after another!

And when all this happened, all the media were stunned!

It's not that they don't know how to broadcast the news, it's that they don't dare to broadcast it at all!

Because—

"God is on Roland-Allen's side again?"

If the reversal of Simpson's wife murder in '94 is for a reason, and the whitewashing of "The Shawshank Redemption" can be traced back to the roots, then what about now? What is "Black Hawk Down"?

When everyone thought that the meaning of the existence of "Black Hawk Down" was to force Congress to pass the Department of Defense's arms replacement plan, the sudden arrival of the Terrorism attack added a different layer of meaning to it!

The current "Black Hawk Down" is not a promotional film for the replacement of armaments at all!

It's not a documentary that records historical facts!

The current "Black Hawk Down" is the source of suffering for people today!

It is also a strong bond that connects countless American peoples!

It is the best embodiment of patriotism for all the American people!

In this case, what if the media refutes the actions of the people?

That's it!

The guys who dare to pull out their guns and go to the street will definitely smash their headquarters!

Don't think it's impossible, 20 years later, CNN will be burned into something like a bird!

And what if you don't say anything, don't ask about all this?

That's the end of it!

Doesn't taking a stand in line when you have to stand in line mean that you are in the same group as the guy wearing the hijab?

As a result—

When the media found that the matter was too tricky for them to handle, reporting it all the way became their only option.

No way, who makes free speech in capitalist countries mean all speech and all capital?

When big capital feels that something is not good, even if it may be true, the people below cannot spread it.

What, someone wants to refute?

Let's first explain why Twitter blocked the speech of Understanding Wang, okay?

And when Time Warner, News Corp., Wiaccom, Disney, and General Motors learned about these things, those who had been in contact with Roland Allen naturally understood what to do now.

GM, which will be able to profit immediately, took the lead in guaranteeing people, and NBC publicly declared-

"Black Hawk Down is an excellent movie, it has suffered unfair treatment in the past half a month, because it is not the same as people think, with painful facts to awaken the grief in our hearts, but with a bloody lesson to tell us that the stronger we are, the more the enemy fears us, and the weaker we are, the more the enemy will retaliate against us!"

Waiting for Warcraft Films to help shoot DC superheroes, Time Warner said with CNN -

"Security has always been built on absolute strength! "Black Hawk Down" allows outsiders to see our exhaustion, so they feel that their opportunity has come, and if they want to change their minds, they have to fight back with more powerful means! ”

Disney, which has begun to make a profit, has begun to make a profit, ABC said-

"In the past, we have always borne the responsibility of maintaining world peace, because the war is outside the borders, so many people will feel that the price of maintaining world peace is far away from us, at best, it is like "Black Hawk Down", which was repelled by people, so when "Black Hawk Down" happened, we chose to retreat when we felt that the cost was too great.

But now, the facts tell us that when we, like Peter Parker, choose to defend the world and peace, ordinary life is already far away from us, and if we retreat, the enemy will continue to provoke until we pay a high price!

"Black Hawk Down" is an excellent movie, and he is a warning that we can't back down! ”

When these evaluations are transmitted to thousands of households through signals, people who are already in a state of excitement are even more excited.

And when the little bush in Washington learned that the people's enthusiasm for war was extremely strong, he was even more satisfied with Roland Allen, an ally of capital, after all, ten years ago, his father lost to the anti-war public opinion.

Now, the whole country is eager for him to make a move, and the guy who dares to refute is a mantis arm as a car!

So, on the 20th of September, the little bush announced to the whole country that America was officially at war!

The war in Afghanistan is about to begin!

However, some people are happy and some are sad.

When the majority of the media stood in line, and the White House had already attacked, there was a guy who was trembling......
