Chapter 632 The Event That Shocked the World
"Wake up," Feng Yiping gently pushed Huang Jingping, who was soundly asleep.
"What's the matter?" She only blinked her eyes, and then covered her arms in front of her eyes, "I'll sleep for a while,
"Go to bed later, hurry up and call home,"
"I won't call, didn't I agree not to tell my family?" Huang Jingping was completely awake now.
"It's not this," Feng Yiping took her hand, "Something happened, do you still remember the World Trade Center? We took a photo in front of it, and we were just hit by two planes,"
"Ah, no way!" Huang Jingping's first reaction was disbelief.
"The TV is live, come out and watch it,"
"Really?" She grabbed a piece of clothing casually and came to the living room. It was around 9:40 Eastern Time in the United States. On the Pentagon.
Huang Jingping was completely dumbfounded, "Is this true?" She suddenly pointed at the TV and shouted, "Look, what is that?"
I saw a small black spot falling down next to the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Feng Yiping didn't need to say anything, she immediately understood, "That's someone jumping off the building," she said, covering her mouth.
"Don't watch," Feng Yiping turned off the TV, "Hurry up and call home, lest they know the news and worry,"
In the middle of the night, the two families in their sleep were woken up by the phone call. They were very nervous. They thought something happened to them. After hearing their explanation, their first reaction was, "It's so chaotic over there, come back quickly!"
How come, do you dare to fly now? Besides, the United States has closed its airspace, prohibiting any civil aircraft from taking off, and it is impossible to fly even if you want to.
"Our side is very safe, don't worry, we won't go anywhere these days,"
However, Feng Yiping could tell that the parents were just worried about them, and they didn't seem to have much sympathy for this matter.
This is also understandable. The year before last, the United States bombed our Yugoslav embassy. In the first half of this year, there was another plane collision incident in the South China Sea. The United States, which sounds so good at first, has now been punished by others.
It turned out that at the time of 9/11, he was still working in the company. There was no broadband or cable TV in the dormitory. A 14-inch Toshiba TV bought from a flea market could only receive a few TVs in the city. Well, when he hit the building, he was already asleep, and he didn't know about it until he went to work the next morning.
My first reaction at the time was the same as Huang Jingping's, I couldn't believe it, but after reading the news in newspapers and online, I realized that it was true.
In other words, after confirming the news, he suddenly felt a... unharmonious mood.
In fact, most Chinese people seem to have a similar idea to him, and the posts under the news are all likes.
A colleague who lives next to the Normal University said that he was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night. The teacher’s dormitory not far from his home was very sensational. Many students threw hot water bottles and other things downstairs. It seemed that there were firecrackers. There is a fight with the successful Olympic bid.
It should be noon later, the official media set the tone and expressed their condolences, and then those posts that were not harmonious, although they expressed their hearts directly, were harmonized one by one, and the public opinion on the Internet turned around.
However, this time, Feng Yiping, who got up early in the morning and waited to see, was really not happy.
If in another place, for example, these three planes hit the Pentagon at the same time (don’t expect to hit the White House, such a large Boeing 757, without guidance, would like to fall accurately on a place that is not high and occupies a small area Above the White House, the requirements are not generally high, and even the world's top ace pilots may not be able to do it), that might make him happy for a while.
But when he attacked a civilian target like the World Trade Center, especially when he saw desperate people jumping from a height of more than 400 meters on the roof of the building, he really couldn't be happy.
Like the talk shows in the United States, the people of our country are still kind.
Maybe they will be unharmoniously happy when they hear that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have been hit, but they will still express sympathy for these things after knowing the specific situation and knowing that there are so many civilians killed in heaven and earth.
Fully dressed Huang Jingping came over and nestled in his arms, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the details, but it's a terrorist attack. Don't worry, nothing will happen to us here," Feng Yiping comforted her by patting her on the back, and at the same time turned off the TV again.
Just now, amidst the exclamation of the host, the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.
So far, the official has only said that it was a terrorist attack on this incident, without any other specific explanation.
This should be the first time since the United States, the number one empire in the world, has been attacked by such a large-scale foreign enemy since the War of Independence. They also couldn't react, and were a little confused.
When the news was received, Mr. Bush Jr. was in an elementary school classroom in Florida. The documentary broadcast later showed that Mr. President sat on a small stool at the back of the classroom in a daze for a long time. , can't say a word.
Then, he started roaming aimlessly across the country, from one military base to another, and he should not arrive at the White House until late at night.
"Don't think too much, let's go, let's make breakfast, we can't starve you,"
At a time like this, it was obviously not good to leave Huang Jingping alone at home. Besides, they had made an appointment to see a doctor, so Feng Yiping simply took her to the school to have a look.
In today's school, everyone is herding sheep. Those hard-working students are obviously not interested in class. Their faces are all the same as Feng Yiping's. The expressions on the faces of the ordinary people are the same, shocked Uneasy, can't believe it.
Yes, the United States is an empire that claims to be stronger than the Roman Empire (Western scholars will never think of our strong Qin Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty). How could such a thing happen.
"Let's go to the company first and then go to the hospital, shall we?"
"Okay, now it's time to go to the company to see,"
It's the same in the company, no one is working, everyone is watching the live broadcast in front of the TV.
In the past few minutes, the north building had just collapsed, and some nearby buildings were also damaged. It seemed that there was a huge cloud of smoke and dust there.
Meanwhile, following the evacuation of the United Nations headquarters, the mayor of New York ordered the evacuation of the entire Manhattan area.
Mike said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, there are no business trips arranged for these two days,"
Carter just said this to Feng Yiping on the phone. You know, the two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center were both destined for Los Angeles, and finally "crashed" (some say it was shot down by the U.S. Air Force) on No. 93 in Pennsylvania. The destination of the flight is San Francisco.
Feng Yiping looked at the angry employees outside, "If there is no important work, why don't you let everyone go home today? At this time, they should stay with their families and support each other."
"Fung is right, it should be," Buchanan said.
"Okay," Mike immediately went out to inform everyone.
Buchanan keenly saw the opportunity, "The construction of NEXTDOOR should be easier to get the support of relevant departments."
"After today's matter becomes clear, you should immediately go to NAVTEQ to assist Collins," Feng Yiping said.
"Why?" Buchanan didn't understand, and immediately asked by analogy, "Do you mean that there will be a war?"
"Think about it, don't say that you want to give an explanation to the people. Is the US government the kind of character that doesn't fight back when it suffers?"
"Okay, I understand, I'll get in touch with my Pentagon acquaintance now,"
On the way to the hospital, they saw that many houses on the side of the road had American flags on the windows. Such encounters successfully aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the American people.
"Tell me, why did they choose a day like today?" Huang Jingping asked, rubbing her stomach.
That's right, the emergency call in the United States is 911. They chose this day, so they want to be humorous?
The efficiency of the private hospital is very high, and soon they got the news, "Congratulations," the doctor said to them with the test report.
Because they were already mentally prepared, Feng Yiping and the others were not overjoyed at this meeting, but when they got in the car, Huang Jingping still couldn't help hugging Feng Yiping and said, "We have a baby!"
"Yes, we have a baby," Feng Yiping carefully fastened her seat belt, "Remember, keep a peaceful mind, let's go, let's go home,"
The whole afternoon, the two of them stayed in the backyard and didn't go anywhere. Feng Yiping occasionally went to read the news on the Internet. Under the situation of condolences from all over the world, the Iraqi government was like the child in the fairy tale, the emperor's new clothes, It said in a statement that it was "retribution for America's crimes against humanity".
Comrade Saddam Hussein and the Bush family must be old enemies in previous lives. He has already fought with Bush Sr., and now he jumped out to fight against Bush Jr. Who can say that Bush Jr. conquered Iraq while cleaning up Afghanistan? , isn't there a reason for this?
I wonder if Comrade Sa, when he was dragged out of the tunnel and stood under the gallows, regretted these willful actions now.
