Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?
Chapter 714 The World is Collapsing
This voice is full of contempt for capital and resistance to oppression.
Although Edwards was just an ordinary firefighter, he could vaguely feel this emotion.
His city, Washington, D.C., is the heart of this vast empire, and Wall Street in New York is the financial center of this empire.
The broadcast continued, the voice becoming louder and more passionate:
"We acknowledge that our actions have resulted in the loss of innocent civilian lives, for which we deeply regret."
"But please think about it, who started this massacre?"
"It was the US government! It was their 'Red Light Project' and the nuclear mines they buried on European soil that killed thousands of our loved ones!"
"Our actions today are simply a way of giving them a taste of their own medicine!"
"We declare to the world: Our target is not ordinary people, but the hegemonic system of the Eagle Sauce!"
"We call on all peace-loving and justice-loving countries and peoples to unite and jointly resist the oppression and exploitation of the Eagle Sauce!"
"Overthrow this hypocritical empire and establish a new world order of true equality, freedom, and justice!"
"Our sacrifice is worth it! Our blood will nourish the flowers of freedom! Let the whole world remember this day - the day when the oppressed declared war on hegemony!"
"This is the day when justice judges evil! The flames of revenge have been ignited and will burn across the entire Eagle Sauce!"
The broadcast came to an abrupt end after this passionate declaration.
Edwards felt an inexplicable chill.
He didn't know who the owner of this voice was, nor did he know what crazy actions they would take next.
But he vaguely felt that some profound and irreversible changes were taking place in the world.
Rescue work continues.
The fire in the Pentagon was gradually brought under control, but the search and rescue of trapped people remained difficult.
Edwards and his colleagues had been working for more than ten hours straight and were exhausted both physically and mentally, but no one gave up.
Suddenly, an even more shocking news came from the intercom at the command center - the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York had completely collapsed less than an hour after being hit by a plane!
This news was like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of all firefighters.
How could a skyscraper with more than 100 floors collapse so easily?
This means that there is almost no chance of survival for the thousands of people in the South Tower!
Immediately afterwards, even more despairing news came - the North Tower of the World Trade Center also suffered serious structural damage and could follow in the footsteps of the South Tower at any time!
Edwards felt suffocated.
He couldn't imagine the desperate situation his colleagues in New York were facing at the moment.
It's not just fire and rescue, it's a race against time and death!
Panic and despair began to spread at the Pentagon rescue site.
Some young firefighters even started crying. They are all ordinary American citizens, educated in patriotism since childhood and firmly believe that their country is the most powerful and safest in the world.
But everything that happened today completely overturned their cognition.
Edwards also felt unprecedented confusion and fear. He didn't know when this disaster would end, nor did he know what the world would look like when he woke up tomorrow.
He only knew that the land beneath his feet was no longer the home that once made him feel extremely proud and safe.
As night fell, the rescue work at the Pentagon continued with difficulty.
Edwards and his colleagues changed shifts and took a short break in a makeshift rest area.
He drank his water silently, looking at the Pentagon still smoking in the distance, feeling a mixture of emotions.
……
After the earth-shattering impact of Operation Sword of Punishment gradually subsided, the American society fell into unprecedented shock, grief and anger.
The image of skyscrapers collapsing in flames is seared into the hearts of every American citizen like a nightmare.
The landmark buildings that once symbolized the prosperity and power of the United States were reduced to ruins, and thousands of innocent lives were lost in an instant. All this made this country, accustomed to playing a leading role on the world stage, feel the pain deeply.
The White House acted quickly.
Within hours of the attack, President Howell appeared on national television and delivered a strongly worded and determined address to the nation.
"My fellow Americans," President Howell said, his face solemn, his eyes burning with the fire of revenge, "today, our country suffered a despicable terrorist attack."
"Some heartless thugs, in the most brutal way, took the lives of thousands of our compatriots and destroyed the buildings we were proud of."
"Their goal is to destabilize our great American society by creating panic and chaos."
He paused, his tone becoming more heated.
"Those cowards who made such outrageous remarks on the radio tried to blame their crimes on the so-called 'Red Light Project' and on the foreign policy of the US hawks."
"This is a complete and utter lie! Their words are filled with hatred for the free world and jealousy of our way of life!"
President Howell's voice was decisive.
"I can tell you clearly that this horrific attack was carried out by a group of extreme nationalists from Europe!
"They are in cahoots with the Russians and have long been funded and trained by them. Their ultimate goal is to destroy our thriving American society and subvert the freedom and democracy we cherish!"
This speech quickly spread to every corner of the United States through major media and to the whole world.
The powerful propaganda machine of the US hawks has started up again, amplifying, interpreting and spreading the president's characterization.
On TV screens, so-called "security experts" and "counter-terrorism consultants" appeared one after another to analyze the "sinister intentions" and "brutal nature" of these "European extremist nationalists", implying that there are close ties between them and the Russian bear.
The front page of the newspaper published some blurry photos, claiming that they were evidence that these "terrorists" were receiving "secret training" somewhere in Europe.
This set of rhetoric from the American government quickly gained widespread recognition among the domestic people.
In the face of great grief and anger, people urgently need a clear enemy and target of revenge.
Characterizing the attackers as "European extremists colluding with Russia" can not only explain the motive for the attack, but also direct the anger of the domestic people outward, while also to a certain extent covering up the negative impact of the "Red Light Project" scandal.
Immediately afterwards, the US government announced a series of tough retaliatory measures.
The first is to strengthen security alerts at home, raise the level of anti-terrorism efforts, and grant law enforcement agencies greater powers for monitoring and investigation.
Armed National Guard troops were deployed at major airports, train stations, ports and important government agencies, and fighter jets were even seen patrolling over the city.
A tense and solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire Eagle Sauce.
At the international level, the Eagle Sauce's spearhead is directly pointing at the powder keg of Europe's Balkan region...
