Chapter 494 100th Anniversary
As they were talking, the car drove to the hotel where Cheng Ling was staying.
Cheng Ling signaled A Long to find a secluded corner to park.
After A Long parked the car, he got out of the car, but did not leave, but patrolled near the car.
"Okay, please continue." Cheng Ling said.
Father Jiang told the story:
"Old Hanna was very popular in the 1980s. In the 1980s, the economic development of the United States was sluggish. He was a hardliner and advocated: [For the sake of future generations, we must find ways to plunder more resources]."
"He believed that as the world's first superpower, the United States allowed other countries to develop freely, which was too arrogant. One day, it would pay a heavy price for its arrogance."
"As a loyal patriot, he would never allow such a thing to happen."
"During his tenure, he secretly resold a large number of weapons to conflict areas in the world with unclear territories, provoked wars, and even sent people to conflict areas to disguise as into the locals, creating bloodshed and escalating conflicts in the region. "
"Blood flew everywhere in the conflict area. At this time, his group came out as a 'peacemaker' and 'big brother' to uphold justice. From reselling weapons to maintaining peace, it not only won a good reputation for the United States, but also made a lot of money. "
"However, Hanna was driven out of office. , because he leaked high-tech weapons to the hostile countries of the United States. "
"He actually sold high-tech weapons to the hostile countries of the United States. "
"After the incident was exposed, the top American officials asked him why he betrayed his country? "
"Old Hanna said: You I know nothing. I am the one who truly works for my country. "
"History will remember my name in the future - poets will write poems for me to commemorate my achievements, sculptors will carve sculptures for me, and schools will put my name in textbooks. "
"For the sake of higher interests, I sold weapons to our enemy countries - throughout the history of the United States, the reason why we have today's wealth and status is all because our country has harvested countless wealth from the victorious and defeated countries in the two wars. "
"Today, the United States has military strength that is unmatched by any other country, and it can completely use war, Harvest more wealth. Then America's hegemony will never be shaken. "
"Sell it to hostile countries, let their ambitions swell, and think they can compete with America."
"America will target them and provoke them again. As long as they lose their patience and do something they shouldn't do, we have a reason to start a war to sanction them - we can not only weaken or even eliminate our hostile countries, but also harvest countless resources and wealth. "
Father Jiang exhaled: "The above is Hannah's reason."
"Not many people know about this. Fortunately, I happen to be one of them."
Cheng Ling held the phone, and her delicate and slender eyebrows were tightly frowned.
It sounds like Nathaniel Hannah is a war profiteer - profiting from starting or inciting wars.
War profiteers are all bastards.
Without exception.
But Nathaniel Hannah is no longer a senior official of the United States. He can't access high-tech weapons, and there is no way to sell them in large quantities...
What kind of storm can he stir up?
Cheng Ling was very skeptical.
So, she asked, "Uncle Jiang, he is holding a document in the video. Can you provide useful information?"
Father Jiang was silent for a long time.
Cheng Ling did not urge him.
She knew that she might hear a very shocking news.
After a long time, Father Jiang said very slowly and with difficulty: "Do you know the 'Spanish flu'?"
Cheng Ling immediately replied: "Are you referring to the flu that killed at least 20 million people worldwide in 1918-1919?"
"Yes." Father Jiang's voice became vicissitudes.
"The cover of the document reads: The third strain transformation-a tribute to the 100th anniversary of the Spanish flu."
100th anniversary?
Alex said that this video was shot in October 2019... and the Spanish flu ended in 1919.
Exactly 100 years.
In addition, the third strain transformation, what does it mean?
Cheng Ling recalled the video clips of Paris in the videotape -
Some people were performing on the street, some were selling flowers with baskets, some were chatting and laughing, some were talking on the phone, some were coughing with their hands covering their mouths, some were drinking coffee, and some were skateboarding...
Coughing with their hands covering their mouths...
Cough!
