Chapter 430 The person who is best at destroying the United States
I couldn't believe it when I saw the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center on the TV replay, and by the time the second plane hit, my whole body was shaking with fear that the disaster would endanger my family, so I advised my family for a whole week. Friends don't go out until the federal government lifts the terror alert.
Facing the microphone and camera lens, Duke looked heavy and sad, and when a reporter asked about the crash of the passenger plane in Pennsylvania, he added, There is no doubt that the passengers on the plane are heroes, they saved the The world, another unimaginable horror was averted.
Finally, Duke said, God bless America.
In addition to expressing his attitude and position, Duke also donated 5 million US dollars. Donation is also a kind of knowledge, especially this kind of donation involving political events, and it is not just throwing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. The public in the United States will treat you as a hero.
Choosing to be in the limelight at this time is purely an idiot with water in his head.
This is the Hollywood Bowl. Los Angeles and New York are holding memorial events at the same time. Hollywood celebrities are of course the protagonists of this event. Right next to Duke, Harrison Ford is also being interviewed.
The world is changing, and so should our behavior.
Dr. Indiana Jones has always been a political activist and a representative of Hollywood's Great Americanism.
The world does change, though, and so does Hollywood.
Hollywood movies have a constant theme - small people save the world, in other words it is individual heroism.
The September 11 Incident has had a huge impact on the political and economic life of Americans, and the entertainment industry is inevitable. Hollywood, which is the world's leading film and entertainment leader, will become more prevalent in personal heroism. The public needs more than ever before. hero. Even if it's just an illusory hero.
Superheroes will be more popular than ever.
Another change, will be American-made for the entertainment market.
As we all know, the North American film and television market is basically an insulator. North American audiences have never been very interested in non-North American productions. After this incident, this market will be more closed. It is more difficult for exotic products to succeed, and the choices of producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will be more inclined to Made in America.
In the past, some European films that were popular all over the world were coldly received in North America, and this situation will be more serious in the future.
Of course, these will not affect Duke very much, he is a Hollywood director. The foundation of my career is in North America, and with the vague memory of the past, I will never be too brainless to shoot or participate in European films.
If nothing else, it is extremely difficult for British black comedies to succeed in North America, even the two masterpieces that Guy Ritchie has made his name. In the North American market, the response was also flat.
The exclusion of the North American film and television market is not just that simple. After 9/11, this situation will continue to increase.
Hollywood is already changing. Hollywood, which was originally full of politicization, will be infiltrated by politics into every corner from now on. Not even a director like Duke can get away with it.
Just after Ivanka Trump was sent back to Wharton, Duke received a notice, a piece of news that left him rather stunned.
A special operations team consisting of the FBI, CIA, and White House staff is calling to ask for a visit. Would like your opinion on some events.
Duke's eyelids jumped when he heard Tina Fei rushing to the garden to inform him, Ask for my opinion?
Yes. Tina Fey sat on the wicker chair opposite Duke. Their attitude is very sincere and their tone is very urgent. If you agree, they hope to come over in the afternoon.
Duke couldn't help scratching his head, what are these guys doing for themselves?
However, listening to what Tina Fei relayed, it was obvious that they were asking for themselves.
It's a good thing, isn't it?
Promise them!
Just after noon, a few black cars drove into the Duke's Manor. A special team of five people walked into the eye-shaped villa. The housekeeper Emma took them to the reception room where Duke was, but Duke did not What came to mind was that there was even an acquaintance of his own.
Hi Duke, haven't seen you in a few years.
A tough-faced middle-aged man came over to shake his hand, You have become the top director in Hollywood.
Hi, Renho...
Duke looked at him, and the other party had obviously taken off his military uniform and was no longer Lieutenant Colonel Renho of the Ministry of Defense.
This is the liaison officer of the Pentagon when Duke was filming Brave Island and Independence Day.
I'm currently serving in the White House. Renho said briefly, I'm currently serving as a defense advisor in the Department of Staff.
Duke immediately understood that this one is now serving George W. Bush.
Renho then introduced Duke to four other people, two from the CIA and two from the FBI, experts in emergency prevention.
A few people sat down, Tina Fey poured them coffee, and before Duke could ask a question, Renho explained his purpose directly.
The lack of imagination of our intelligence and other relevant departments in the face of terrorist threats is one of the important reasons for the success of the hijacker's conspiracy and the eventual attack.
He was not joking at all, his tone was very serious, In order to make up for the lack of imagination, we decided to ask Hollywood for advice.
The expert from the CIA, LaBeouf, took Lenho's words and said, Yes, we never thought that terrorists would use this method to carry out attacks.
Renho continued, Duke, we've worked together, destroying a building, destroying a city, and destroying the world, and you're the pro... oh, sorry, I'm talking about movies. So we came here on purpose. , to hear some of your thoughts.
My thoughts? Duke didn't quite understand.
It's like this, Renho explained. What we mean is, you can come up with an imaginary case, think of it as a script, and then we discuss it together to avoid the cookie-cutter mentality of the intelligence services in the future.
Duke understood roughly what he meant. Hollywood directors are the most adept at destroying New York, Washington, and even the United States on the planet, and even many terrorist attacks have borrowed from the way shown in Hollywood films...
Compared with Hollywood directors, terrorist organizations are simply weak.
After thinking for a while, he said, Renho, you should know. I have no idea how the White House, the FBI, and the CAI work. Most of the past is just fantasy.
It doesn't matter. The CIA expert answered, Director Rosenberg, we just want to know how you can create chaos in your imagination and cause panic in the entire North America... Of course, aliens don't matter.
Duke nodded, cradling his chin in thought. The others kept silent tacitly so as not to disturb his thoughts.
After a full twenty minutes, Duke said slowly, I have a preliminary idea, just the possibility of implementation and the rationality of our response. You can only judge for yourself.
These experts immediately showed interest. The expert named LaBeouf said, This is just a discussion. What we need is a wild idea.
North Korea has never had a bad relationship with us. Their leaders also use anti-American slogans to gather people's hearts.
Now that we have said this, Duke is no longer polite. At this point, it is very necessary to establish some contacts with the political world, and now is a good opportunity, I make a bold assumption. Someone from a secret organization in North Korea infiltrated South Korea and became a security adviser to a high-ranking official in South Korea. When this senior official was invited to the White House for a visit...
Assassination of the president? Renho said.
LaBeouf looked at him with contempt, even a pig knew that assassinating the president in this country was basically useless.
No... Duke shook his finger. What if the security advisor replaced all the senior South Korean officials with his people?
Renho understood, You mean they control the White House? It's impossible. Even if the other party is the president or prime minister of South Korea, there won't be too many people around.
South Korea is a country with very strong self-esteem. Duke added, North American Koreans or North Korean defectors will definitely come near the White House to greet...
Duke raised his hand to interrupt what Renho wanted to say again, It is reported in the media that the Air Force once took off and intercepted the plane that was bound for the World Trade Center, but missed it for various reasons. It is not impossible for this kind of mistake to happen, if The other party controls a plane and launches an attack on the White House by flying at an ultra-low altitude? The plane does not need to be equipped with heavy firepower. It only needs people outside the White House to attack, and after attracting the White House security personnel, strafing from the air is enough...
This is of course the most idealized air strike, and everyone knows how difficult it is to break through Washington's air defenses, but this kind of thing is always possible.
When the White House is attacked, the president will definitely bring VIPs into a relatively closed shelter. Under the unprepared situation, the other party launches from the inside, and the president is very likely to be hijacked.
LaBeouf nodded, There is indeed such a possibility.
What about the purpose? Renho asked.
Of course it's our nuclear facility. Duke began to open his mind. Assume that our nuclear bomb has a self-destruction program after it is activated. If the other party activates the nuclear bomb, and then activates the self-destruction before launching...
When he said this, the faces of Renho, LaBeouf and others all changed. If the other party really succeeded, then America would most likely never exist again.
The two parties discussed in the reception room for a full afternoon. Duke proposed N ways to destroy or occupy the White House. Although they were all too idealistic, they were not impossible to implement.
Thank you, Director Rosenberg.
When the other party left, the expert named LaBeouf held Duke's hand tightly, We have benefited a lot, and we will definitely come back for advice if we have the opportunity.
welcome any time.
Duke also left their contact information, and he would not refuse such a mutually beneficial thing. (To be continued ^)
