Chapter 404 War on another battlefield
In the past 60 years, The Wall Street Journal has used a banner title four times.
The first three times were in the "Pearl Incident", the "Gulf Sea Incident", and the "September 11 Incident" not long ago.
This elite newspaper with the largest daily sales volume and the largest audience in the United States.
It is the 4th time to use the banner title, and the time interval from the 3rd time is not far away.
On the front page headline on January 21, 2002, the Wall Street Journal used a banner headline for the fourth time.
On this day, the headline of the Wall Street Journal is—
【What happened to this world? After the World Trade Center, one of the symbols of the Americans has been attacked again]
In the content below the title of the banner, 6 stories are stated.
Among them are 2 roundups that cover a lot of detail, another 1 Staples Center security analysis, and 1 stock market recession fear analysis.
The sixth story is written by the foreign editor John Basey in the first person.
On January 21, nearly 14% of the more than 2 million readers of The Wall Street Journal worldwide received this edition of the newspaper, which is rare in the American daily industry.
In the past 10 years, only the report of the September 11 incident three months ago surpassed this time in terms of data in this regard.
US West Coast, Santa Barbara, California.
In the beach house, when I got today's newspaper. Ikana, who had already received the notice last night and packed her bags, had a big stomach. She just glanced at the "Wall Street Journal" before throwing it and a series of other newspapers on the table.
If you pick up these newspapers and read them, you can find that they all have the same headlines on the front page today.
And compared with the usual front page headlines, today's front page headlines are more conspicuous, using fonts that are larger than newspaper flowers, and large pictures that are relatively large compared to newspapers.
This is a situation that newspapers only appear when major events and news happen.
In the villa, after dropping the Wall Street Journal on the table.
Ikana turned her head and said to Paris Hilton, who had the same serious face beside her and her stomach was not as flat as before:
"Things are going to the bad side. Paris, I think we should really go to Texas! Otherwise, we will suffer."
Paris' expression was not very good, but she still whispered:
"But...Ikana, your belly is already big. With such a big belly, is it okay to fly?"
"The doctor has checked. My child is very healthy. The occasional long-distance flight will not cause any harm to the children."
Ikana said: "Especially at this time. I must be by my man's side."
Paris was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Then let's go."
"Let's go. Let's go to Tarrant County!"
Ikana said directly.
One big belly, one small belly.
Two famous New York socialites who have disappeared from the media for months.
They walked out of the villa in a bad mood.
At the gate of the villa, there was already a motorcade waiting for them.
Soon, the two left Santa Barbara, and their destination was Tarrant County, Texas.
There are quite a few people who made the same choice as Ikana and Paris.
Anne Hathaway who has never been to Texas, Jessica Alba who accompanied Abel just a few days ago, and even Li Fuzhen, the capital of Han, wanted to leave.
Amidst the turmoil at the top of the United States, a group of women also started their actions in private.
On the other side, at noon on January 21, 2002.
The owner of the White House, at 12:00 noon, once again released a national televised speech in the Oval Office of the White House.
In a televised speech, Mr. George Bush led Mr. He severely condemned the enemy base organization and those KBFZ who launched the attack.
“…Abe Smith was targeted in this attack because he was the brightest and brightest ray of liberty in 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 saw the dirtiest soul in human nature, and we will fight back vigorously."
"...the work of investigating the culprit of this vicious incident is underway. I have ordered all intelligence agencies and police agencies in the United States to do their utmost to find the culprit and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to cover up the KBFZ will also Recognized by us as KBFZ."
"I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the cabinet and Congress who have strongly condemned this incident with me."
"God Bless America, God Bless Abel Smith."
"thanks!"
Reputation is booming, but because of the quagmire of war and economic crisis, George has not yet become the eternal flying shoe.
His nationally televised speech set the qualitative tone for this incident.
He claimed that this attack was a threat and coercion to Americans no less than the 9/11 incident.
If the United States can't even shelter the most generous philanthropist in the world.
The ordinary Americans, how can their personal safety and property safety be protected?
The White House insisted that this was definitely not a personal attack.
It is a renewed threat against the whole of America, against the whole of the free world.
Seriously, compared to the collapse of the Twin Towers.
Abel Smith was attacked, no matter the excitement of the scene or his importance to Americans, it was far inferior to the former.
Many Americans empathize with Mr. President George Bush's televised speech and speech.
But there are also many Americans who don't think so.
They think it's just a super rich being attacked.
What about all Americans?
In the hearts of those Americans who hate the rich, they even feel gloating.
If this is the case, then George's speech may have the opposite effect.
Because no matter how you look at it, just be a little more sensible.
It can be seen that this attack is nothing compared to 9/11.
Because the victim is still super rich, there are even a large number of conspiracy theories.
but…
Just over two hours after Mr. Datong’s national TV speech.
On the global Internet, a somewhat blurry video appeared.
In the video, the face that Americans know and hate reappears in the blurry video.
He is a bit blurry in the video.
But the iconic beard, the iconic clothing, and the surrounding environment.
It will make people who see the video immediately think of him.
"Hot Lamp Man", he admitted that the attack on Abel Smith was a retaliation and threat of war against the United States.
also said that if the United States does not stop military operations.
Then their actions will never stop.
What happened to Abe Smith is just the beginning, not the end.
This fuzzy video of only 1 minute and 56 seconds, its appearance, was reported by media from all over the world in a very short period of time.
It also succeeded, and once again provoked the anger of all Americans.
Its appearance made George's weak TV speech suddenly become majestic and powerful.
No one dared to stand up and raise any doubts.
The two months after 9/11. The unprecedented and terrifying influence and voice of the White House finally reappeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the White House announced that night that it would increase its investment in the war.
Make the best and most powerful counterattack 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 convoy is in motion.
In the middle of the convoy, in a well-protected compartment.
Paris said a little worriedly: "We just come to the door 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 that is her husband. But he is also our man! He is the father of our child in our womb. We are all qualified to appear by his side. It doesn't matter if he... is alive or dead!"
"That's right."
Paris hesitated, "But I'm still worried."
"There is nothing to worry about." Ikana said softly:
"The big deal is fighting and robbing. The bush family is very powerful, but it can be just very powerful. We are not bad, as long as we unite. At least we have an advantage over those in Hollywood."
Paris was silent for a while, and she looked down at her slightly swollen belly.
"Okay." Hilton's eldest lady gritted her teeth and whispered, "I understand."
After more than an hour the convoy was bumpy.
Finally arrived at the outskirts of Smith Farm.
Paris looked at the farm from a distance through the car window, and she found a huge farm in the distance, brightly lit.
Above the farm, visible to the naked eye, many helicopters with searchlights on, flying around.
Outside the farm, a large number of vehicles drove in and out on the many roads leading to the farm.
Although I have never been here before, this is the first time I have come to Smith Farm.
But Paris knew that Smith Farm was so busy tonight, it was abnormal in itself.
Paris looked back at Smith Farm, and she looked at Ikana.
In the carriage, the tall and plump Ikana was sitting by the car window. Her beautiful and dignified face was half illuminated by the light outside, and half covered by the shadow blocked by the car window.
Paris felt that Ikana was a little strange tonight.
The lady of the Hilton family also knows that this is actually Ikana's true face.
The **** and gentle Ikana who wanted anything and everything in front of Abel Smith just appeared to please him.
Stop talking about Ikana.
Even yourself, isn't it like this?
But in Paris's heart, she has a strong nostalgia for the peaceful and comfortable life before.
Paris really doesn't want any changes in her previous life.
【If possible... Omnipotent, Lord who exists in any time and space. I hope you can keep my man, the father of my child, alive and healthy. 】
In the carriage, Paris prayed silently in her heart.
More than ten minutes later.
Ikana and Paris' convoy arrived at the huge gate parking lot at Smith Farm.
The square was brightly lit, and cars were parked everywhere.
Many people were walking around in the middle of the square, looking very busy.
Based on her attire, Paris, who got out of the car, recognized that some of those personnel should be police officers, as well as rock security staff.
and some other suits and leather shoes look very elite, and they should also be many of the staff of some organization.
The arrival of their convoy naturally caught the attention of these people.
Someone has already come up to check.
In the parking lot square, Ikana and Paris stayed for several minutes.
Finally, their convoy stopped in the distance, and they themselves were able to obtain the qualifications to enter Smith Farm.
When being led by someone and walking into the farm.
Paris was suddenly stabbed by Ikana.
"?"
"Look over there."
Ikana pointed to the far left side of the two.
Paris heard the words and looked over, and saw two young women who were led into it not far away like them.
"Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba..."
Ikana said softly, "The women who were the first to marry our men!"
Paris also recognized it.
After all, the current Smith Farm is brightly lit everywhere.
There is only a distance of more than ten meters, and there is no shelter in the middle.
Anne and Jessica's gorgeous looks also make them far more eye-catching than the people around them.
"It seems that we are not the only ones here." Paris whispered:
"Perhaps this time, we can see the entire harem of our king. Not necessarily!"
"Hehe..." Ikana sneered and didn't speak again.
Two socialites in New York also noticed that Anne's side should have also found their own side.
Because of the two Hollywood beauties, they are also looking at Ikana.
The sights of the two sides collided silently in the light of the night.
In the end, they even found that although they did not walk the same way, they all ended up at the same place.
Coincidentally, both parties came to a corridor door at almost the same time.
The four women stopped at the door, staring at each other.
But obviously, Ikana with the biggest belly attracted the attention of Annie and Jessica.
"Hehe...this is not the Los Angeles Oscars." Paris was the first to speak, "It's really strange that irrelevant people appear here."
Hearing that Paris fired so quickly, Ikana smiled.
Paris has become less and less aggressive in front of Ikana.
Fortunately, when facing other "outsiders".
Paris is still right away, showing her previous aggressiveness.
Ikana felt that it was great that Paris could charge ahead without having to make the first move herself.
Annie and Jessica here.
Although they have the protection of Abel, unlike parallel time and space, or unlike other Hollywood actresses, they need to personally experience the quagmire of Hollywood darkness.
The lack of this part of experience makes them much worse than ordinary Hollywood actresses in terms of experience, smoothness, and aggressiveness.
But no matter how bad it is, they are also actresses. There are many more deeds heard by hearsay and rumors than Ikana and Paris.
They have never eaten pork, but they have seen and heard too many "pigs" running away!
Hearing some bitter words from Paris, Jessica immediately fought back:
"Ha~ I thought who it was. It turned out to be the eldest daughter of Hilton, and the rich daughter of New York. I don't know what you are doing here? We are here to visit our lover, or to say, the concubine."
"You two daughters, what about you? You won't come here like us... If it's like I think, tsk tsk, this should really be news."
Paris got angry when she heard it.
Jessica's counterattack hit the place where wealthy daughters like her and Ikana least wanted to be mentioned.
That is, they are from a superior family, and they can even be called rich, but they are willing to be other people's mistresses.
No matter how eloquent they are, this is not a glorious thing for the education they have received since childhood.
If it weren't for a certain person in all aspects, it would indeed be an existence beyond the standard.
Moreover, there are also some words about their development by chance and coincidence.
Let them unknowingly have too many sunk costs in it.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to be willing to be with other women and be their mistresses.
Now things have happened, mistress has become.
Things in this area have become something they are more taboo about.
Jessica used this aspect to attack, which can be said to be very effective.
Paris is very angry and wants to choke back loudly.
The female bodyguard who led them suddenly spoke softly:
"Ladies...can you hurry up? Mr. President George is coming, and he will pass here in three minutes."
Paris, who still wanted to scold Jessica, was startled.
Ikana responded quickly, "Mr. George Bush is coming?"
"Yes." The female bodyguard with the walkie-talkie nodded softly.
"Let's go." Ikana took Paris's hand and walked in first.
Jessica and Annie glanced at each other, not to be outdone, and followed closely behind.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a group of people headed by George Bush waited.
Accompanied by many people, he quickly appeared here, passed the corridor, and walked to the room in the other direction of Smith Farm.
Ikana and the others, led by the female bodyguard, came to a large room.
The room is brightly lit, and there are many other people present.
Ikana and Paris, who had just walked in, saw a beautiful girl they were “familiar with” and greeted them with a smile.
"Hi, good evening, both of you. It's Miss D. Ikana Turner, and Miss Paris Hilton, right? Oh, Jessica and Annie are here too. Come in please come in..."
Charlize Theron, like a hostess, welcomed the four women in with a smile.
Ikana, who entered the room, already frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
When she was about to speak, a slender, young, blond and blue-eyed young beautiful woman walked out behind Charlize Theron.
"Hello, welcome to Smith Farm..."
The girl smiled and said, "I'm Laura Bush Smith, good evening everyone."
