Under the urging of Goldman Sachs, Yang Chen finally came to New York City in the United States.

I believe many people are familiar with New York.

New York City is located on the Atlantic coast of southeastern New York State in the United States. It is the largest city and largest port in the United States.

The New York metropolitan area is known as one of the largest urban areas in the world, with a population of more than 10 million, and is ranked as the top international metropolis in the world alongside London, England.

Since the Second World War, New York's economy has continued to prosper, becoming the leading city in the world's economy after London, and its Wall Street has become the leader of American economic hegemony.

In addition to the economy, since the United Nations headquarters was officially settled in New York in the early 1950s, New York's influence in world politics was further established.

Of course, Yang Chen was interested in the city of New York not because of its influence in the economic and political fields.

After all, the two are too high-end and cannot be accessed by ordinary people. No matter how great New York's economy and politics are, ordinary people will not pay attention to them, especially ordinary people like Yang Chen who liked to stay at home and never go abroad in his previous life.

In later generations, New York became known to people all over the world, mainly due to a major event that shocked the whole world, and can also be said to be a major event that shocked all mankind.

It was the second year that the world entered the 21st century, that is, 2001, a special year, a year destined to be unforgettable for Americans and worthy of being recorded in history.

On a beautiful morning, the people of New York ate tasteless white bread and drank tasteless pure milk.

Suddenly, there was a violent loud noise.

Uh, it seems like two sounds.

The two loud noises made the people of New York, the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa confused, dumbfounded, and shocked...

For the record, this is definitely not an atomic bomb...

They are just two ordinary passenger planes.

At this point, there is no need to talk nonsense, everyone should have guessed it.

Yes, that’s right, our pig’s feet’s understanding of New York comes from the ‘9·11’ terrorist attacks that shocked the world in the future.

"The 9·11 incident, also known as the "9·11 terrorist attack", was a terrorist attack that occurred in New York City, the United States.

What happened

On the morning of September 11, 2001,

Two civilian airliners in the United States were hijacked by terrorists, and one crashed into Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the World Trade Center in New York City.

Two buildings collapsed one after another after being attacked, and the remaining five buildings in the World Trade Center were also collapsed and damaged by the earthquake.

Another hijacked passenger plane crashed into the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, U.S.A., causing partial structural damage and collapse of the Pentagon.

It is said that after the incident, military forces across the United States were put on the highest alert. At the same time, the Taliban issued a solemn statement stating that the terrorist incident had nothing to do with this terrorist incident.

However, the U.S. government determined that Ben ** was the number one suspect in the terrorist attacks.

In response to this attack, the United States later launched the "War on Terror," invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban who was hiding Al Qaeda terrorists, and passed the Patriot Act, announcing the launch of a military offensive in Afghanistan.

The 9·11 incident was the most serious terrorist attack that occurred in the United States. The total number of victims was nearly 3,000, the economic losses to the United States reached 200 billion US dollars, and the damage to the global economy even reached 1 trillion US dollars.

about.

From this incident, we can clearly see the influence of New York on the world economy.

A city in the United States suffered an economic loss of 200 billion U.S. dollars, and the global economy suffered a loss of 1 trillion U.S. dollars, a gap of five times. It is hard to imagine what the world would be like if the United States fell one day.

Although Yang Chen does not like the hegemony of the United States, especially the hegemonism pursued by the United States, it is undeniable that the existence of the United States is still necessary before the US dollar is replaced by other currencies.

After all, currency transactions are much simpler than goods transactions.

The 9.11 incident had an extremely profound psychological impact on the American people. The American people's sense of economic and political security was severely weakened by the terrorist attacks.

Among various arguments in American intellectual circles, the clash of civilizations theory has become one of the main arguments for interpreting the root causes of the "9·11" incident.

The United States intervened in Middle Eastern countries for the sake of the petrodollar policy. Later, the United States became the developed country most severely attacked by terrorism. This is a large reason why.

Of course, later generations still have a view that the attack was a political conspiracy. Such a large terrorist attack did not occur during the war years, but occurred during the peace years.

In particular, there are many unexplained doubts, which have made the world skeptical about the attack.

This kind of suspicion is not only expressed by foreign media, but also by local American media and some people from all walks of life.

The main doubts include the possibility that the plane crashed into a skyscraper and that the diameter of the Pentagon's breach does not match the diameter of the plane.

Conspiracy theorists believe that the purpose of the attack was to maintain the international status of the United States and achieve hegemonic and peaceful purposes in order to control the world.

You must know that not everyone in the United States desires war. The vast majority of the American people hope for peace.

After all, people die in war, and no one wants to see their loved ones die in a war.

The number of deaths caused by shootings every year in the United States is enough to make society and the American people deeply reflect.

In the 21st century, the Soviet Union disintegrated, the polar bear's power was greatly weakened, and after the end of the Cold War, which affected people all over the world, the United States became the world's only superpower.

At that time, what the American people longed for was peace. No one wanted to see the government using taxpayers' money to buy weapons and send troops to fight every day.

If our own country has become a superpower, and is the only superpower in the world, why should we fight a war?

In ancient times, after the reunification of our great dynasty, the first thing to do was to put the swords and guns into the warehouse and release the horses to Nanshan.

At that time, most Americans also thought the same way, and peace was the mainstream idea of ​​​​the lower class society in the United States at that time.

However, the government and some American financial groups do not think so. American hegemony has always been very popular among the elite.

However, the United States is a country that advertises democracy, and the president and other officials rely on popular elections.

The people at the bottom of the United States do not want a war. Although it is impossible to directly determine the actions of the upper class, it will have some influence.

Therefore, many people believe that the U.S. government has staged a good show on its own to get the people at the bottom of the U.S. to support the government’s military actions.

Later, the U.S. Middle East strategy has been going smoothly. Whenever it encounters obstacles, people will point to the 9.11 incident as an excuse.

Conspiracy theories have always been an ongoing topic.
