Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

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

    Robinson now works for a multinational company and is a middle-level manager of the company. He has a bright future. Maybe he will become a senior executive of the company in a short time. He will be sent to Europe or Asia for two or three years to gilt, and after returning, he will become a member of the company.  Headquarters executives.

    The bustling Manhattan, New York, is crowded and busy. Robinson, who goes to work, will not drive here because finding a parking space is also a headache.  After coming out of the subway station, Robinson bought a newspaper from a newsstand and flipped through a few pages as he walked. He has a wide range of interests and cares about many things, ranging from economics and society to sports and politics.

    "Ah, is China in a trade dispute lawsuit with the United States again? It has become more and more frequent in the past two years!" Robinson couldn't help but said to himself when he saw a piece of news.  Thinking about the company he works for, it has also been frequently pursued and intercepted by competitors from China. In recent years, American companies have had to unite to resist the attacks of Chinese companies.  However, although the production costs in China have increased relatively with the appreciation of the new renminbi, in general, almost any product made in China is cheaper than that in the United States.

    This allows China to use its price advantage to sweep the global market, especially the U.S. market with huge consumption power. Chinese products have been in decline for 10 years and have even surpassed the market share of U.S. products in most areas.  The U.S. government has to resort to rounds of anti-dumping, anti-monopoly, green barriers and other various measures to protect its domestic companies and prevent the Chinese from making money in the United States.

    Since the late 1990s, trade frictions between China and the United States have become normalized, and both sides have become more and more vocal.  Especially in the past two years, the U.S. government has not even cared about its basic dignity. In China's lawsuits against U.S. authorities and some companies in the United States, it has blatantly acted for personal gain, ignored the truth, and forcibly ruled against Chinese companies, causing major harm to Chinese companies.  loss.

    As a middle-level manager of a multinational company involved in trade, Robinson is naturally exposed to a lot of these contents. His company even participated in such a lawsuit, which was a case against Chinese companies for dumping in the United States.  In the lawsuit, the US court directly ruled against the Chinese company, and his company could receive huge compensation.  However, their company did not receive this money. Chinese companies will not accept the penalty so easily. The fine is up to billions of dollars, and it is an unfair judgment. The Chinese company withdrew from the U.S. market in anger, and there is no way it will accept the penalty.  account.

    Robinson thought: "China and the United States have reached this point. Normal laws and rules can no longer restrict these two countries that are hostile to each other. Economic conflicts, ideological differences, and competition for global interests have made the relationship between China and the United States more difficult.  The room for maneuver is getting smaller and smaller. If one is not careful, it may be a big war."

    To some extent, Robinson feels that the contradictions between China and the United States are more urgent and acute than those between the United States and the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union was terrible at the time, the area that could be radiated was actually relatively small, and the two sides mainly competed for  point in Europe.  However, China has clearly shown a strong desire to gain dominance on a global scale, which is an obvious challenge to the hegemony of the United States.  Moreover, the exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union were not close at that time, but economic and trade exchanges between China and the United States were frequent. What the United States has done now has seriously harmed China's actual interests. If the United States is allowed to bully itself shamelessly like this, China's future  It may be defeated in more places. Obviously China cannot accept this.

    Robinson feels that he cannot solve such a problem with his own IQ and talent. It is obvious that China and the United States have no intention of mutual benefit and win-win, but have a life-or-death mentality. In this case, there is no way to mediate the conflicts between the two sides.  Thinking of this, he stopped thinking about it and continued to flip through the newspaper and saw another new big news - the Shia-controlled areas in southern Iraq declared independence, established the Republic of Babylon, denied the authority of the Iraqi central government, and marched northward, approaching  Baghdad.

    "Obviously, this is a counterattack by the Chinese!" Robinson, who has a keen sense of politics, thought. The United States has run Baghdad for many years. Although it is not as good as China's running the Southern Zone, it can still be regarded as a strong stronghold in the Middle East.  Now, as chaos continues in Kurdistan, Babylon becomes independent and attempts to eliminate the central power of Iraq. It is obviously to attack the power of the United States in the Middle East.  It can also be regarded as a kind of revenge for the United States' continuous cheating in trade disputes.

    "It's going to be troublesome now. If the Iraqi regime is eliminated, the U.S. power in the Middle East will be severely hit. Now Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and other countries recognize China more, and China also has a large fleet blocking the Persian Gulf. In order to solve the problem  home countryDue to the hidden dangers of oil, the United States has no choice but to impose a ban on domestic oil production.  "

    Robinson bought another sandwich from the street, ate it and walked quickly towards the place where he worked, the World Trade Center.  He was a single man and had no one to take care of his life, so he lived a relatively casual life. He seemed to have lost interest in other contents in the newspaper and threw the newspaper into a newspaper recycling bin on the roadside.  Printed on the title of the newspaper was a line of small characters: September 11, 2001.

    After eating, with his briefcase under his arm, Robinson walked hurriedly and glanced at the Vacheron Constantin in his hand. If he didn't hurry up, he would be late.  But just when he was about to rush to the company, he suddenly heard a burst of noise from people.

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

    "Damn, this is so dangerous, this is Manhattan!"

    People were making noises, and Robinson also saw the large passenger plane flying rapidly and low in the sky, like a drunken bird, which seemed to have lost its direction.

    The premonition of danger filled the body of Robinson, who had experienced life and death on the battlefield. He subconsciously felt something was wrong, so he shouted: "Oh no, this is coming this way!"

    ¡°Needless to say, everyone could see at this moment that at this direction and speed, the plane would hit the World Trade Center, a landmark building in New York, where Robinson worked.  In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Robinson's mind. As a former soldier, he was able to free his brain and think quickly in crisis situations.  Now, even though he can think about many things, he is thinking about the colleagues he meets every day in that building, as well as all kinds of familiar people, but they will all be attacked in the next second!

    The Boeing 767 flew directly into the North Tower of the World Trade Center Twin Towers at a high speed of 490 miles per hour. At the moment of collision with the building, a large amount of smoke and dust spewed out from the 94th to 98th floors of the building's installation location. As it hit the building, it immediately  A fire broke out and was exacerbated by leaking fuel from the plane that rained down on the building.

    Robinson couldn't believe what he saw. He kept crossing himself on his chest and kept saying: "Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh damn God, what happened, who did it!"  "

    Seeing the scene of the World Trade Center being hit by a plane, Robinson fell into a frenzy. Building materials and other things began to fall from the building. The crowd standing below the World Trade Center began to flee in panic, panic among the crowd.  spread.  The small number of police here tried hard to maintain order, but some police officers who were also afraid ran away with the crowd.  The few who still retained any semblance of composure began to escape and call the police and fire brigade on their cell phones.

    When he saw people fleeing, Robinson did not flee with everyone. Instead, he went against the crowd and rushed into the collapsing building to rescue the people there. Robinson, who was deeply influenced by personal heroism, also cultivated himself in the army.  Even in this scene, his fear could not overcome his will. He knew that as long as he went in earlier, he might be able to save one more person.

    But before he rushed into the north tower of the World Trade Center, he saw another commercial airliner in the sky flying towards the south tower of the still standing World Trade Center with a similar attitude to the Boeing 767 just now.

    "Hell, how could this happen!" Robinson was already in despair. There was absolutely nothing that could stop this faster Boeing 767 in the sky over New York. He knew that it must be full of passengers, and he also knew that the World Trade Center was at this time.  There are at least several thousand people working there in the south building.  The plane hit the building without any suspense, and an even stronger explosion sounded.  At this moment, the North Tower began to collapse violently, and Robinson shed tears uncontrollably.  "Whoever it is will have to pay for this!"
