Chapter 597: Sweeping Manhattan II

Now, just over seven years and more than ten days after the attack, the original ruins have long been cleared, and many small trees have been planted, and two large square swimming pools are in this small forest, and there is not a single swimmer in them. Actually, it wasn't a swimming pool, the two square recesses were the bases of the twin buildings, and although they have now been neatly repaired with black granite, you can still imagine the tragic situation when you look at the buildings next to them.

Around these two bases, several buildings of different heights have been rebuilt or renovated, and when the Twin Towers collapsed, the closest buildings were also affected.

It is said that the New York City government is going to rebuild a taller and safer building here, like a Freedom Tower, saying that it will be completed on the tenth anniversary of 911, but Hong Tao knows that this is all nonsense, at least 13 years ago, this Freedom Tower will not be completed, this place is not popular to pay tribute to anything, what gifts, assault for 100 days or something, should take a lunch break, should get off work, should go on strike, workers will not give you an extra second because of what is here, The bank will not charge you a penny less interest on any anniversary.

For this ruin, Hong Tao didn't even take a photo, and he didn't stop to find a bird's-eye view from a high place, this thing belongs to someone else's scar, it's not appropriate to joke, with a heavy feeling Hong Tao can't conceive it, just sweep it by, no one can be embarrassed for anyone.

After the ruins of the World Trade Center, in front of you is the famous Wall Street, which is the financial center of the world, and it feels like the earth has to sneeze, 100% heifer riding power lines, NB with lightning. However, Hong Tao came at the wrong time, since last year, Wall Street has caught a cold, although he has taken a lot of medicine, but the condition has not been controlled, but a bit of a trend of pneumonia.

Just a week ago. When Hong Tao, Fat Zibu and Sturgeon were still boating and fishing on the Amazon River, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, had filed for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch, the third largest investment bank, was acquired by Bank of America.

Although the huge Star-Spangled Banner on the door of the New York Stock Exchange was still clean, the elites in professional suits walking around the streets had a sad face, and even when they saw Erin and the three beauties, they couldn't arouse their interest in taking a few more looks.

Hong Tao is not very interested in this kind of financial street, according to Beijing dialect. The people here are in and out of 100,000 million every minute, and they are not at the same level as us. But the image that should be taken still has to be taken, first take a photo with the president of Washington in front of the federal building, this president is still very high in Hong Tao's own evaluation, and then go to find the copper bull coaxed by NB.

But Hong Tao and the four of them turned around the entire Wall Street, and they didn't even see the shadow of the copper bull, could it be that they were deceived? Didn't you say it was right at the door of the evidence exchange? Can it still run?

What should I do if I have difficulties? Find the police! The police officers in New York are all big-shouldered and round-waisted, and Hong Tao is reluctant to stimulate others with his slender figure. So this job has to be done by Nancy, who made her a New Yorker.

After asking 3 police officers in a row, Nancy could be regarded as asking about the whereabouts of the copper bull, and it turned out that the cow was not in Wall Street at all. It's on the extension at the intersection of Broadway and Wall Street Extension, which is three blocks away.

If the Americans really don't pay attention to it, it was when Hong Tao and the others walked out of the north exit of Wall Street, intending to walk along Broadway to see the copper bull. It was discovered that there was a tall spired church on the opposite side of the north entrance. Opposite the church is the materialistic Wall Street, you say that you just finished reading the scriptures when you enter the door, and you go out to look at futures stocks. Is this a comfort to the soul, or blasphemy?

The church is very beautiful, really beautiful, it is all made of big stones, high and pointed, like a short sword with the tip of the sword pointed upwards and poked there, it is said that when the World Trade Tower fell, it did not dare to fall to this side of the church, but a splashed debris smashed a tree in the backyard of the church, so it is not completely unbelievable to the gods.

TrinityChurch! This is the name of the church, it is easy to understand, Church is the church, Trinity is the meaning of trio, and there are the Father, the Son, and the living soul in the Christian doctrine, which is connected to the Trinity Church, commonly known as the Trinity Church, or the Holy Trinity Church.

The name is not unique to this church, there are churches with this name in many cities around the world. However, the owner of this Trinity Church is more powerful, it is the Anglican Church, and it is not clear what Hong Tao is doing specifically, it should be similar to the Buddhist Association of China, they are not only the owners of this church, but also the largest landlord in New York, many places are their property, in Chinese terms, it is a temple property!

The copper bull was found, and by the way, he also set up a very beautiful church, Hong Tao felt that he had earned it, so he was satisfied and came to the side of the copper bull, grabbed the horns of the cow and took a few photos. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that Nancy and Bonnie were gone, and it took a turn to find the two of them, and it turned out that they had run behind the cow's ass to take pictures.

"O whore!! How can you do such a nosebleed thing in broad daylight! Hong Tao also wanted to go behind the cow's ass to see what was to be seen, and when he turned around, he was immediately stunned by Nancy and Bonnie's movements.

Nancy and Bonnie are half-crouching behind the cow's butt, touching two balls from between the two cow's legs and posing happily! This cow is a bull! As soon as Hong Tao saw the two things they touched, he immediately determined the gender of the copper bull! These two girls are so arrogant that they dare to touch this directly in front of people on the street...... It's so exciting!

"You can touch it too! It has divine powers! Nancy saw Hong Tao staring at their movements and gritted her teeth, and very enthusiastically took Hong Tao's hand and pressed it up.

"I'll forget it...... I'm not quite a good fit! Hong Tao said in his heart, it must be a divine power! But it depends on the gender.

"Touch it, it can bless you with a son!" Erin also dragged a passerby at this time, asked him to help take pictures, and ran under the copper bull's buttocks, raised his hands like Dong Cunrui, and grabbed two directly!

"Oh, it's a son!" Only then did Hong Tao understand why the big girl dared to blatantly touch this part, it turned out that people's wishes were beautiful and pure, and what they thought was more dirty and vulgar.

In fact, the most famous attraction in New York is not Central Park, nor the many high-end shops on Wall Street and Fifth Avenue, but a statue of a girl, symbolizing a book in her left hand and a torch in her right hand, which means to tell students that even if the power goes out, they can't delay it!

Regardless of whether Hong Tao understands this implication or not, everyone knows who this girl is when you hear it, right? That's right, the Statue of Liberty, which often appears on film and television and represents the American spirit. But now Hong Tao can't see her up close, because she is not on Manhattan Island, but on a small island in the mouth of the Hudson River, several kilometers away from the southern tip of Manhattan Island, and at the National Museum where Hong Tao and the others stand, only a shadow can be seen in the distance.

Because you have to take a boat to see the Statue of Liberty, the place to take the boat is not on Manhattan Island, but in Jersey City across the Hudson River, so Hong Tao listed her as a scenic spot to see or not.

At this point, the essence of Lower Manhattan Island is basically finished, like South Street Port, South Street Port Museum or something, I don't go, mainly because parking is too troublesome. It's a long story, but in fact, it didn't take an hour from Erin's apartment to seeing the copper bull, and at least 10 minutes of it was to stop and pick up the car.

After seeing Downtown, it was time for Midtown, and Nancy drove straight onto Roosevelt Boulevard, sharply north along the east side of Manhattan Island, and then turned onto First Avenue on E42nd Street. On the approach bridge under the highway, Hong Tao saw that there was a tunnel entrance below, and it was very familiar, and Erin told him that this was the Midtown Queens Tunnel, which was the river bottom tunnel connecting Midtown Manhattan Island and Queens.

The reason why Hong Tao is familiar is because he has heard the name of this place in the movie, he has seen that movie many times, the name is "Die Hard", and it was written by Bruce. In a series of cop movies starring Willis, in the third episode, the terrorist Simon escapes from the tunnel after robbing the gold nuggets from the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank.

However, Nancy is not very familiar with this movie, and for her age, this film, which was shot more than ten years ago, seems a little old. She didn't take Hong Tao to see the tunnel, the purpose of coming here was to find a place to park, and the second was to let Hong Tao see the building on the north side of the street, but unfortunately Hong Tao didn't pay attention.

There are too many buildings here, all kinds, Hong Tao has aesthetic fatigue, he has seen the building opposite, the shape even he thinks is very earthy, there is no characteristic, it is a wide and high slab building, the outer layer is full of glass curtain walls.

"This is the UN headquarters?!" When the four people came out of the underground parking lot, Hong Tao finally saw the name on the building, and his original disdainful expression was more solemn, after all, this is the most powerful institution on the earth, although sometimes it is not so easy to speak, but legally it can be regarded as an earth-level institution.

Some areas of the United Nations headquarters are allowed to be visited by tourists, but they are not free, and they have to charge no one $12, which is really dark. Even if you pay the money, you can't enter casually, you have to go through a strict security check, and then about every 20 minutes, a temporary group will be allowed to enter the tour. (To be continued......)
