Chapter 355 Follow-up impact and chain reaction
The Empire State Building collapsed, and this building that is far more representative of the collapse of the United States than any Manhattan building.
The reporters who arrived at the scene without fear of death took this shot from a distance, and clearly shot the scene of how the building collapsed and how the dust in the sky rolled up, and broadcast it all over the world.
This is so terrifying and devastating that you can even clearly hear someone crying around the reporter through the TV, and the reporter himself who broadcasts it. I was also extremely choked when reporting, which was an unprecedented huge blow to Americans' confidence.
That night, countless people in the United States, including Europe and parts of Asia, lit candlelight outdoors in squares and other places, praying for the victims.
Milo did the same.
He and the current U.S. commander, as well as many members of the White House and Congress, held the same ceremony at the National Mall in DC.
Although half an hour before the ceremony, he, Rockefeller and others, and others who arrived in Washington had a long quarrel.
But at the moment, as the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, many people don’t even appear on the screen.
But it was also here to commemorate the White House, standing in the crowd, mourning the 5,635 Americans who had already counted their identities and 235 foreigners.
Yes, there are two hundred and thirty-five foreigners who died.
Because the Empire State Building is not just an office building, but due to its long history.
It is also a famous tourist building in New York. A large number of tourists visit it every day, and go to its top tower overlooking Manhattan.
But, although he expressed sympathy for the victims, he did not sympathize with them. It was simple, there were not many innocent people among them.
The causes and consequences of the whole thing have basically come out.
It is not an enemy attack from other countries. It should be said that during this period, no national-level force dares to challenge the United States.
That's really looking for death.
But without some organizations that hold state power, they really have the courage.
Although the time occurred differently, it was in a very short time.
Washington has locked in the initiator of all this.
It's still the same one.
And this result has been initially recognized by all the people of Tianlong.
Because of all kinds of information feedback, this person did it.
It’s better not to mention the causes and consequences.
Although extremists are madmen, it is an interesting question why extremists become extremists.
As citizens of this country, since all the benefits provided by this country are shared with the dividends from the war, they naturally have to bear the subsequent price.
Of course, some people will definitely refute this loudly. Even if they enjoy the benefits of war, they are less than one billionth of a large capitalist like Milo. Even if they have to pay the price, these vampires should pay first!
Yes! That's right! Too right! This is the truth! But...when have you ever seen such a fair thing?
The strong always get more and give less, just as the general election always wins all.
The so-called equivalent exchange means that you have to pay as much as you get.
It's just an idealist's dream.
Whether a society is stable and energetic depends more on whether the rules and morality of the game can prevent the strong from taking away the last piece of bread in the hands of the weak.
And whether the weak have enough efforts to become an ascending channel for the strong within the scope of the rules, rather than democracy and freedom.
So, fairness is always relative, and Milo, as a celestial dragon, used this incident to build momentum and make profits, and also made peace.
In addition to the event held in Washington that night.
He also mobilized many people to publicly condemn the terrorist act on the ITK and support the government.
In addition, he later launched many activities in Hollywood about this incident.
Of course, these activities are very small in scale. They either accept interviews to condemn the terrorist activities to comfort and bless the injured, or pray for the victims in a special program to mourn the victims for rescue operations. Holding large-scale events is undoubtedly seeking death when the whole people are immersed in grief.
Although his team was not prepared, he only found out until the moment before it happened.
However, he has one of the best teams of journalists in the United States, and CNN reporters are impeccable in professional qualities and abilities.
With Paladin Media’s resources, it is not difficult to dominate Hollywood activities.
Other media groups do not have a huge influence in film production like Milo.
So even if you are unwilling to be dominated by Paladin Media, you still have no choice but to do anything for the time being. Who makes them at their peak now?
Then, after more than a week passed, the public's pain finally eased.
Some larger activities with the theme of comfort and encouragement finally started again, and Milo made another move.
This charity party called "God's Protection of America" does not have a fixed location.
This is a marathon-style party that takes turns broadcasting in Los Angeles, New York and London, led by ABC and various cable TV stations.
Well-known people around the world participated, and even those who could not attend the scene in person gave speeches through various means.
All the scenes were arranged solemnly.
There are candles all around, and the stars who appear in front of the camera all have heavy expressions.
In addition to making some touching speeches, we recited some hopeful poems. Although the atmosphere was serious, it was also a bit dull. Fortunately, there was also a singing session.
This night is destined to be a time for singers to shine.
Whether Madonna, Jackson, Maria Kelly, or Jennifer Lopez.
Everyone was extremely devoted to singing this song full of mourning and hope, and tried his best to dress themselves up as encouragement and comfort to families who were hurt by this disaster.
This works really well.
It won a lot of applause both on the scene and across the United States.
Until Britney and Christina and the young Taylor Swift appeared... When Christina sang the first sentence, a unique smell suddenly emerged.
With a little sadness, but more of it is encouragement, congratulations and gratitude, which is very melodious and pleasant, plus Christina's outstanding singing skills.
It seems to reach the heart of a person... When Britney started to have a harmonious conversation, the relationship suddenly became high. The gratitude and the scent of motivation put the whole song to a higher level.
In the end, when Taylor's voice, who had not changed his voice, was added, and the entire performance and singing were sublimated.
The applause from the performances of the three of them together was almost as much as everyone in front of them combined.
Because it only took 20 days.
Most singers sing old songs with themes that are closer to the current atmosphere.
Some of the lyrics have been modified, and at most they have been re-written.
Although a small number of them wrote new songs for 817, the time has been a little tighter.
The quality cannot be considered very high, so when this song came out, it immediately attracted most of the attention.
In addition, the two super popular idols are slightly pink and dressed in pure white and simple style, which is very consistent with the melody of this song.
There are also Taylor dressed as an angel and came out to sublimate behind, as if the entire scene was sacred.
There was originally a scene where the low voices were spoken, and as the song reached its climax, they couldn't help but hold their breath and listened...
No doubt, this was Milo's work. Since we wanted to take advantage of this incident, we should make a thorough use of it.
For example, except for the media circle, he naturally did not let go of other fields.
Almost on the third day after the incident, the US Congress passed the issue of declaration of war.
The United States declares war on Afghanistan! Although Milo knew it was a mud pond, Milo knew that it would keep the empire bleeding.
But it's useless.
Just like 911 in parallel time and space. The 817, which occurred two years in advance in 1999, was even more effective than 911.
The emotions of the whole nation need a catharsis, and the excited military-industrial complex needs reasons, and all the people of Tianlong want to share the benefits.
This declaration of war can be said to be a carnival that the entire empire, including the Milo Group, wanted to participate in.
It should even be said that the Milo group is more eager for war than anyone else.
Originally, the most favorable thing about the Boston Consortium was arms, and California and Texas, which were friendly to him, were mainly selling arms...
The only thing left is war.
Only one layer of war similar to that of 1991 can heal the aftermath of the Americans' demand for 817.
I've been busy like this, busy with the 817 incident that happened in advance.
Milo did not leave Washington until almost mid-September.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
It has been a month since that day.
When Milo returns to New York.
Compared with the past, the streets of Manhattan seem extremely deserted.
Since 19817, various commercial institutions, municipal departments, and headquarters or branches of banking and insurance companies in Manhattan's 500 buildings have chosen to move out of here.
Although there are still some large commercial institutions and companies that still stand here, it is no longer the same as before. It seems that the haze of 817 has been covering this 59.5 square kilometers island.
"Everything is terrible. It's really terrible."
"The ruins of the building are still burning, and the fire brigade's work has never stopped."
"The air in the entire Manhattan and even New York has been reduced by a hundred levels."
"There are a large number of toxic components in the air within 3 kilometers of the ruins of the Empire State Building, and even now, it is still the case that the fall of the Empire State Building is not only its own. It seems that it will lead to the fate of Manhattan, and it will be confused."
Milo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his Rockefeller Center, International Building office.
Looking at the dark and gloomy sky, he knew that the situation in the world had been completely changed.
A lot of the prophetic knowledge you remember may be useless.
Fortunately, I not only rely on memory, but also I can hear the gospel.
What I just talked about was his friend, partner and cheap father-in-law Jin Pu.
Next to Kimp, sitting on Milo's office sofa together was Milo's best friend, Ector Cavrera, the current president of Blackburn Bank.
"I don't think so, Don." ACTO said with a chuckling, "Crisis, there is a chance if there is danger. The danger has passed, and the opportunity is now."
"Opportunity?"
"Don, please. You mainly do real estate. You don't know that since that day. The prices of houses in Manhattan and the entire New York have dropped by more than ten percentage points?"
"Of course I know. But who else wants to live in Manhattan now? Even New York, many people want to escape. But some people don't have that much money to leave."
"So as the best real estate developer, should you be able to buy at low prices? Taking advantage of the price drop, buy a large number of abandoned houses by those people? This is Manhattan. Unless it is stretched by Mu Hai, it will always be Manhattan."
"What do you mean...its price will rise?"
"Of course."
Jinp obviously disbelief of ACTO's analysis.
He looked up at Milo standing by the window, and Ekto knew what he meant immediately.
ACTO smiled, "Don't look at Milo, he thinks so too. He said this to me."
"Okay!"
Kimpu immediately spoke without hesitation, "I will make someone prepare. When a suitable price appears, I will stockpile some real estate in New York."
"I believe that will make you a big profit."
Milo ignored the conversation between the two, because he knew that a financial storm that swept the world had begun to brew and accumulate here.
When it erupts, the capital of the whole world will be shrouded in the shadow of fear.
The Internet bubble, which was already ahead of schedule and even bigger, should have happened at the end of the year as he expected.
Several months ahead of parallel space and time.
But now, because of the 817 incident.
This matter became a little confusing.
After the incident, the US stock market and global stock markets naturally fell.
Nasdaq, which is already inflated, is naturally falling more harshly.
But just like the United States can't wait to declare war and prepare to send troops.
In the stock market, the US will not allow it to happen in the United States for the time being, and the US stock market also ushered in a huge disaster.
That will cause the Americans who are in trauma and trigger the trauma crisis.
Under the chain reaction, it is estimated that the collapse will not be just Nasdaq.
Even the serious US stock market may be caused to collapse.
So Milo, who was preparing to escape, and other consortiums.
But now we have to end up and temporarily maintain the Nasdaq bubble.
The US stock market was rescued in a short time.
But the problem is, everyone knows that the bubble will burst.
No one knows which one will run away first. I am afraid that others will run away first and then I will not run away.
The consortiums originally had no foundation for making a bubble together and making money together under his contact.
Now, they are always carefully maintaining the bubble while ready to run away at any time.
So the storm must happen.
Moreover, because of the chain factor of the superimposed 817 event, it is definitely more powerful than the Nasdaq bubble in parallel time and space.
The two superimposed, and I don’t know if they can surpass the 08 financial crisis in parallel time and space.
At this moment, there was no emotional fluctuation on Milo's face, and his face was filled with indifferent expressions. His hands were in his pockets, looking down at the crowd flowing in the streets, small, rushing around and rigidly. "Boss, the Treasury's people are here." Harrison's lady, Haley's cousin, Milo's secretary was wearing a large white lapel shirt. The originally open collar could see the purple hollow lace and squeezed ravines inside.
It seems that because of the customer, she became restrained. Her collar was closed and she was wearing a tight and tight black suit.
The just a little short hip-covered skirt and black long-bore suspender stockings with black buckles and lace edges still make people think a lot.
In order to make someone pay attention to her, her clothes have become more and more sexy.
"Let them come in."
