Chapter 404 War on Another Battlefield(1/3)
The Wall Street Journal has used column headlines four times in the past 60 years.
The first three incidents were the "Pearl Incident", the "Gulf Sea Incident", and the recent "September 11 Incident".
This is the elite newspaper with the largest daily sales and the largest audience in the United States.
The fourth time it uses a banner title is not far behind the third time.
On the front page of January 21, 2002, the Wall Street Journal used the banner headline for the fourth time.
On this day, the banner headline of the Wall Street Journal was——
[What happened to the world? After the World Trade Center, one of the symbols of the American people is under attack again]
In the content below the banner title, 6 stories are stated.
Among them are 2 summaries that cover a lot of detail, another one is an analysis of Staples Center security inspections, and one is an analysis of stock market recession panic sentiment.
The sixth story is written in the first person by foreign editor John Bossey.
On January 21, nearly 14% of the more than 2 million Wall Street Journal readers around the world had obtained this edition of the newspaper, which is rare in the American daily newspaper industry.
In the past 10 years, only the reporting of the September 11th incident three months ago has exceeded this data in this regard.
West Coast of the United States, Santa Barbara, California.
When I got today's newspaper at the seaside villa, Ikana, who had received the notice last night, packed her bags and had a big belly, just glanced at the "Wall Street Journal" briefly, and then compared it with
A series of other newspapers were dropped on the table.
If you pick up these newspapers and read them, you will find that they all have the same headlines today.
And compared with the usual front-page headlines, today's front-page headlines are more eye-catching, using larger fonts than newspaper prints, and large pictures compared to newspapers.
This is a situation that newspapers only appear when big events happen.
In the villa, after leaving the Wall Street Journal on the table.
Ikana turned her head and said to Paris Hilton, whose face was equally serious and whose belly was not as flat as before:
"Things are taking a turn for the worse. Paris, I think we really should go to Texas! Otherwise we will be the ones who suffer."
Paris's expression wasn't very good either, but she still whispered:
"But... Ikana, your belly is already very big. With such a big belly, is it okay to fly?"
"The doctor has checked it out. My children are very healthy. Occasional long-distance flights will not do any harm to the children."
Ikana said: "What's more, at this time, I must stay with my man."
Paris was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Then let's go."
"Let's go. Let's go to Tarrant County!"
Ikana said directly.
One has a big belly and the other has a small belly.
Two famous New York socialites who have disappeared from the media for several months.
They walked out of the villa in a bad mood.
At the entrance of the villa, a motorcade was already waiting for them.
Soon, the two left Santa Barbara and their destination was Tarrant County, Texas.
There are many people who have made the same choice as Ikana and Paris.
Anne Hathaway, who had never been to Texas, Jessica Alba, who had only been with Abel a few days ago, and even Li Fuzhen, the leader of the country, wanted to leave.
Amidst the turmoil at the top level of the United States, a group of women also started their actions in private.
On the other side, noon on January 21, 2002.
The owner of the White House once again delivered a nationally televised address from the Oval Office of the White House at 12 noon.
In a televised speech, George Bush, the leader of the group, severely condemned the enemy groups that carried out the attack, as well as those of KBFZ.
"...Abe Smith was targeted in this attack because he is the brightest, most dazzling light of freedom on our beacon of freedom and opportunity in the United States of America."
"They want to obliterate our most dazzling light. But in fact, no one can stop the existence of the light of freedom. Today, we once again witnessed the filthiest soul in human nature, and we will fight back forcefully."
"...The investigation into the culprit of this evil incident is ongoing. I have ordered all intelligence agencies and police agencies in the United States to make every effort to find the culprit and bring them to justice. Those who dare to cover up the KBFZ incident will also be punished.
will be considered KBFZ by us."
"I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Cabinet and in Congress who joined me in strongly condemning this incident."
"God bless America, God bless Abe Smith."
"Thanks!"
George, whose reputation is booming, has not yet turned into a fly-on-the-wall due to the quagmire of war and economic crisis.
His nationally televised speech set a decisive tone for the incident.
He claimed that this attack was no less a threat and coercion to Americans than the September 11th incident.
If the United States cannot protect even the most generous philanthropist in the world.
How can ordinary Americans protect their personal safety and property safety?
White House insists that this was definitely not a personal attack.
It is another threat to the entire United States and the entire free world.
To be honest, compared to the collapse of the Twin Towers.
The attack on Abel Smith was far inferior to the former in terms of the excitement of the scene and his importance to the Americans.
Dr. George Bush's televised speech made many Americans feel the same way.
But there are also many Americans who disagree with this.
They thought it was just a super-rich person who was attacked.
What does it matter to all Americans?
In the hearts of those Americans who hate the rich, they even feel gloating about their misfortune.
If things stay like this, then George's speech may have the opposite effect.
Because no matter how you look at it, you just need to be a little more rational.
It can be seen that this attack cannot compare with September 11th.
Since the person who was attacked was a super rich man, numerous conspiracy theories have arisen.
but……
It was about two hours after the T&T leader's nationally televised speech.
A somewhat blurry video has appeared on the global Internet.
In the video, the face that Americans are familiar with and hate appears again in the blurry video.
He is a little blurry in the video.
But that iconic beard, iconic clothing, and the surrounding environment.
Anyone who sees the video will immediately think of him.
"A hot-tempered man," he admitted that the attack on Abel Smith was a retaliation and threat to launch war against the United States.
He also said that if the United States does not stop its military operations.
Then their actions will never stop.
What happened to Abel Smith was just the beginning, not the end.
This blurry video, which lasted only 1 minute and 56 seconds, was reported by media from all over the world in a very short period of time.
It also succeeded, once again provoking the anger of all Americans.
Its appearance made George's originally weak televised speech suddenly become majestic and powerful.
No one dared to stand up and raise any questions.
In the two months after September 11, the White House's unprecedented and terrifying influence and voice finally reappeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the White House announced that night that it would increase investment in the war.
Make the best and most powerful counterattack by taking action against the "hot man".
At this time, Ikana and Paris also arrived in Tarrant County, Texas in a simple manner.
Leaving Dallas Fort Worth Airport, the motorcade is in motion.
In the middle of the convoy, in a protected compartment.
Paris was a little worried and said: "We are here like this. What will Abel's family think of us? And... most importantly, what will the wife of the Bush family think of us."
"Are you scared? Paris." Hearing this, Ikana looked at Paris with serious eyes:
"Although he is her husband, he is also our man! He is the father of the child in our belly. Due to emotions and reasons, we are qualified to be by his side. No matter if he... is alive or dead!!"
