   Chapter 696 New York that has not experienced two airliners

   end of June

  Yang Chen finally came to New York City in the United States under the urging of Goldman Sachs.

   For New York, I believe many people are familiar with it.

  New York City is located on the Atlantic coast of southeastern New York State, the United States, and is the largest city and largest port in the United States.

  The New York metropolitan area is known as one of the largest urban circles in the world, with a population of more than 10 million. It ranks as the world's top international metropolis with London, England.

   Since the Second World War, New York's economy has continued to prosper, becoming the leading city in the world economy after London, and its Wall Street has become the leader of American economic hegemony.

   In addition to the economy, since the early 1950s, the United Nations headquarters officially settled in New York, which further established New York's influence in world politics.

   Of course, Yang Chen is not interested in the city of New York because of its influence in the economic and political fields.

  After all, the two are too high-end for ordinary people to get in touch with. Even if New York’s economy and politics are awesome, ordinary people won’t pay attention, especially ordinary people like Yang Chen who like to stay at home and never go abroad in the past life.

  New York in later generations is well known to people all over the world, mainly from a major event, which shocked the whole world, and it can also be said to shock all mankind.

  It was the second year of the 21st century in the world, that is, 2001, a special year, a year destined to be unforgettable for Americans and enough to go down in history.

   On a beautiful morning, the people of New York ate tasteless white bread and drank tasteless pure milk.

  Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

  Uh, it seems to be two.

   Two loud bangs made the people of New York, the people of America, the people of Europe, the people of Asia, and the people of Africa all stunned, dumbfounded, and shocked...

   solemnly declare that this is definitely not an atom & bomb…

  It is just two ordinary airliners.

   When we got here, we don’t need to talk nonsense anymore, everyone should have guessed it in our hearts.

  Yes, that's right, our pig's foot's great understanding of New York comes from the '9.11 terrorist attack that shocked the world in the future.

   "9.11 Incident, also known as "9.11 Terrorist Attack", is a terrorist attack that took place in New York City, USA.

process

   On the morning of September 11, 2001,

  There are two civil airliners hijacked by terrorists in the United States, and one crashed into Building One of the World Trade Center and Building Two of the World Trade Center in New York, USA.

After being attacked, two buildings collapsed one after another, and the remaining five buildings of the World Trade Center were also damaged by the earthquake.

  Another hijacked airliner crashed into the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense in Washington, USA. Part of the Pentagon's structure was damaged and collapsed.

   According to rumors, after the incident, the military all over the United States entered the highest alert state. At the same time, the Taliban issued a solemn statement, saying that the terrorist incident had nothing to do with Ben **.

   But the U.S. government determined that Ben ** was the number one suspect in the terrorist attack.

   In response to this attack, the United States later launched the "War on Terror", invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban harboring al Qaeda terrorists, and passed the Patriot Act, announcing the start of a military offensive against Afghanistan.

The 9/11 incident was the most serious terrorist attack in the United States. The total number of victims was nearly 3,000. The damage to the US economy reached 200 billion US dollars, and the damage to the global economy even reached 1 trillion US dollars. about.

  From this incident, we can clearly see the influence of New York on the world economy.

  A city in the United States loses $200 billion to the economy, and the global economy loses $1 trillion, a full five-fold difference. It is hard to imagine what the world will look like if the United States falls one day.

  Although Yang Chen doesn't like the hegemony of the United States, especially the hegemonism pursued by the United States. But it is undeniable that the existence of the United States is still necessary until the dollar is not replaced by other currencies.

   After all, currency transactions are much simpler than commodity transactions.

The   9.11 incident had a profound psychological impact on the American people. The American people's sense of economic and political security was severely weakened by the terrorist attack.

  Among the various arguments in the American intellectual circle, the theory of clash of civilizations has become one of the main arguments for interpreting the origin of the "9.11" incident.

  The United States intervened in the Middle East countries for the petrodollar policy. In later generations, the United States, as the developed country most seriously attacked by terrorism, was largely due to this.

   Of course, there is a view in later generations that the attack was a political conspiracy. Such a large terrorist attack did not happen in the war years, but happened in the peaceful years.

   In particular, many of the unexplained doubts have made the world always suspicious of the attack.

   This kind of suspicion is not only the foreign media, but also the local American media and some people from all walks of life are more or less skeptical.

The main doubts among the    include the possibility of the plane crashing into a skyscraper, and the diameter of the notch in the Pentagon does not match the diameter of the plane.

   The debris of the United Airlines flight and the life and death of the hijackers are doubtful points. Conspiracy theorists believe that the purpose of the attack was not to fool the government, but to maintain the international status of the United States, to achieve hegemony and peace, and to control the world.

   You must know that not everyone in the American people longs for war, and most of the American people want peace.

   After all, fighting is killing people, and no one wants to see their relatives die in war.

  The number of deaths caused by shooting incidents in the United States every year is enough for the society and the American people to reflect deeply.

  In the 21st century, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the polar bear power was greatly weakened, and after the end of the Cold War, which affected people all over the world, the United States became the only superpower in the world.

   At that time, what the American people longed for was peace, and no one wanted to see the government use taxpayer money to buy weapons and send troops out to fight every day.

  My own country has become a superpower, and it is also the only superpower in the world. What kind of war is there?

  In ancient times, after the reunification of our Great Celestial Dynasty, the first thing was to put the swords and guns in the warehouse, and put the horses on the Nanshan Mountain.

   At that time, most Americans also had the same idea, and peace was the mainstream idea of ​​the bottom American society at that time.

   However, the government and some consortiums in the United States do not think so. American hegemony has always been very popular among the elites.

  The United States is a country that advertises democracy, and officials such as the president rely on popular elections.

   The people at the bottom of the United States do not want wars. Although it is impossible to directly decide the actions of the upper levels, it will have some influence.

   Therefore, many people think that the U.S. government has directed and acted a good show to get the people at the bottom of the United States to support the government’s military operations.

   Since then, the US Middle East strategy has been going very smoothly. Whenever it encounters obstacles, it will be brought up to talk about the 9.11 incident.

   Conspiracy theories have always been an ongoing topic.
