Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The occurrence of the 911 incident actually surprised Qi Yiming. After all, because of the emergence of him and the Red Alert Base, many disasters had already occurred in this plane, and the direction of history was completely different, but the scene of the plane hitting the building  It happened as if the plot was preserved.

    Qi Yiming has a deep understanding of the establishment and development of Al Qaeda, and has always ordered the Strategic Bureau to closely monitor its development and actions. Although he does not fully control its situation, he can still understand its general information.  In particular, Qi Yiming also dispatched a number of Red Alert spies to infiltrate Al Qaeda. However, he was slightly unlucky and no one became a higher-level personnel.

    Before the 911 incident, Qi Yiming actually knew that bin Laden had already had the idea of ??using an attack to clear the name of Al Qaeda. However, Qi Yiming did not expect that September 11, 2001 would be the day again.

    In fact, since its establishment, Al Qaeda has been equally hostile to the two major powers China and the United States. Al Qaeda has also planned attacks in China many times.  They contacted some uneducated Islamic people in northwest China and brainwashed them, hoping that they would launch attacks in China.  However, China's domestic security work is extremely strict. Whether it is guns or explosives, it is difficult for terrorists to return from abroad. After all, the powerful surveillance network built by Qi Yiming based on the Red Alert Base is not just for free, and has helped the country successfully prevent  There have been many serious terrorist incidents.

    Al Qaeda has gradually discovered that it is difficult to attack China, so it most often kidnaps Chinese people overseas, and even then it often encounters attacks and rescues by China's special forces that suddenly appear.  After many failures, Bin Laden gave up his plan to focus his attacks on China.

    U.S. President George W. Bush, who had just taken office, gave a speech after the incident, saying that this was a "national tragedy" and that the U.S. government would do its best to investigate the truth of the incident, catch the culprits behind the incident, and severely punish them.  The entire city of New York was under martial law. Highways and bridges were closed. The White House and Capitol Hill were closed. Martial law was imposed nearby. All planes flying over the United States were ordered to land, and planes flying to the United States were also asked to return or suspend their flights to Canada.

    This is the most serious attack on the United States after the Pearl Harbor incident, which has made the entire United States nervous and has adopted the highest attitude to deal with this matter.  Bush did not fly back to Washington, but arrived directly at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana to deal with the situation.  He then went to the Strategic Air Command in Nebraska and acted as if he was taking command.  But in fact, his move had no real meaning, and it later attracted some criticism.

    At the Strategic Air Command, George W. Bush held a video conference with several cabinet ministers. U.S. aviation has been interrupted, and these cabinet ministers cannot come to Nebraska to interview him, so they can only adopt this method.

    "Now we can basically confirm that it was the Islamic extremist organization 'Al Qaeda', which was recently assessed by the CIA as a major threat, to launch this attack on us. The leader of this organization, Bin Laden, is a Saudi and is related to the Saudi royal family.  Therefore, he once participated in the Mujahideen organization in Afghanistan, and then began to fight in the Arab world. His ideas are very extreme and dangerous. He advocates using terrorist attacks as a means to attack our major Western powers and restore the powerful Arab Empire. This person also has  Strong anti-American sentiment" Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said, his tone was low, and no one would appear to be in high spirits in such a situation.

    Bush said with some dissatisfaction: "Is George Tenet a loser? They knew that al-Qaeda posed a major danger, so why didn't they take effective measures to prevent this tragedy? This is not only thousands of casualties, but also thousands of casualties.  Direct and indirect economic losses of hundreds of billions of dollars, and it is also a challenge to our American honor and status. I bet that the Chinese people will be grinning from ear to ear now!"

    Secretary of State Powell said: "China, together with the member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, expressed shock at the incident as soon as possible, expressed sympathy for our country, mourned the victims, and strongly condemned the culprits. China also stated that it would strengthen the country's anti-terrorism efforts  Cooperation is urgent and absolutely necessary.¡±

    Bush twitched his eyebrows and said, "It's so hypocritical!"

    Rumsfeld added: "Al-Qaida's main areas of activity are in some of the more chaotic places in the Middle East, such as Iraq and Yemen. They also have strongholds in the tribal areas of northern Pakistan. In the early years, bin Laden once operated in Afghanistan and even cooperated with  The current Taliban regime also had close contacts.¡±

    Bush suddenly asked: "Afghanistan? Is the Taliban regime an associate of Al Qaeda? So China may also be involved?"

    The president, who has just taken office, is not as wily as his father.After all, he is not as good as Clinton, but he is extremely tough and believes that the United States should dominate the world, and China, which is obstructing it, is the number one enemy of the United States, and the United States should fully counterattack and counterattack China.

    Secretary of State Powell said hurriedly: "This should be impossible. Al Qaeda has also planned many actions against the Chinese. It is unlikely that China would be willing to lower its status and support such a tainted terrorist organization." Powell could hear Bush's  There is danger in his tone. Bush is extremely hostile to China and does not seem to be afraid of a war between China and the United States.  If Bush is really caught with Chinese elements in it, a world war may be inevitable.

    Bush knocked the knuckles of his fists on the table and said: "Freedom has been attacked, but it will eventually be protected. Now the whole world is watching how we handle the aftermath of the incident. If we cannot handle it, it will only make the United States  Our face has been damaged again. Now we must show our determination to the world. We need to set up a target, an enemy, and use the iron fist and anger of the United States to completely destroy it, so that both the terrorists and the Chinese will  Overwhelmed by our strength and will.¡±

    Rumsfeld was very surprised: "The target you are referring to is Afghanistan?"

    "Yes, we have determined that the Taliban regime in Afghanistan has contacts with Al Qaeda, so we can determine that it is an associate of Al Qaeda and an enemy of our United States!" Bush said solemnly.

    Everyone¡¯s minds are spinning rapidly. To say that Al Qaeda has caused trouble, the war in Afghanistan is obviously trying to incriminate it.  Anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that the Taliban is not only not an accomplice of Al Qaeda. After taking control of the country, the Taliban also purged Al Qaeda. There is even hatred between the two sides.  Although Al Qaeda does have a certain amount of power lurking in Afghanistan, there is no inevitable cooperative relationship between the two parties.

    And Afghanistan is a member of the SCO. Although it is not a core force of the SCO, it has signed a mutual defense agreement with China. If the United States wants to use Afghanistan as a target, it will obviously be against China.  I don¡¯t know what George W. Bush thinks, but he actually thinks that taking action against Afghanistan is a good choice.

    ¡°Afghanistan is poor and backward, and compared to other SCO countries, it is of little significance to China. China will not necessarily go to war with us for such a country, and if China abandons Afghanistan, it will obviously shake the allies it has worked so hard to build.  The relationship is beneficial and harmless to us." Bush spoke with great wisdom and did not realize that several cabinet officials on the video screen were very helpless towards him.

    Vice President Cheney asked: ¡°But what if the Chinese are really determined to fight us?¡±

    Bush said: "The arms race between China and the United States has been going on for many years, and the pressure on our fiscal budget has also been increasing. Moreover, we can control the intensity and scale of a war in Afghanistan. I believe the Chinese  They may not be willing to engage in too brutal a war with us.¡±

    Several cabinet members are even more helpless. The president's words are based on various assumptions.  What's more, the only way to fight in Afghanistan is through the Indian Ocean, and the Indian Ocean is the sphere of influence of the Chinese. If the United States wants to fight in Afghanistan, it must first ask Pakistan whether it agrees. And when Pakistan has troops stationed in China, the chance of agreeing is almost zero.  .  Even if they intend to force a landing, it is really not easy for the U.S. landing fleet to launch a landing offensive. The Chinese regularly deploy two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean. Once a war breaks out, they will inevitably send additional aircraft carriers, and  The military presence in the region is also much stronger.  Controlling the scale and intensity of war, as Bush said, is a very difficult task in itself.  Because if a war is to be fought, it can only be a big one, not a small one.  A group of people continue to discuss like this, but it is still difficult to come up with a good answer.  But then Rumsfeld added: "Afghanistan may not be a particularly good option, but Al Qaeda still has a strong presence in Iraq, especially in the central region. They control a lot of extremist armed forces. Now the Chinese are instigating  The Shiites have become independent and have marched towards Baghdad, which is quite disadvantageous for us. Perhaps we can reintegrate the central Sunni region and the southern Shiite region in the name of fighting al-Qaeda in Iraq.¡±
