November 9 was originally just an ordinary day, but with Zhou Ming's rebirth, it finally came to the millennium, and this day became more exciting.

I don’t know if it was because of some coincidence, New York was attacked at 9:11 am Eastern Time.

When the World Trade Center in New York was burning with a blazing fire, President Walsh Jr. was on vacation in Florida. According to the itinerary, he will visit Bush Elementary School.

In the car, the presidential assistant told Walsh Jr. about the attack in New York, but Walsh Jr. just nodded vigorously and said nothing. He still walked into Bush Elementary School as planned, walked into the class that had been arranged long ago, picked up the books that had been prepared long ago, and listened to the children's reading exercises with a smile.

But within a few minutes, the assistant walked over again and told him in a heavy Massachusetts accent: "Mr. President, another plane hit the World Trade Center and we are under attack."

Little Walsh was stunned, and his expression on his face became stiff. He secretly glanced at the reporters who were long and short guns not far away, and then showed a serious expression of pretending to be calm.

That was the result of his secret practice in front of the mirror for a long time yesterday. It was a national leader who was anxious but had to force himself to remain calm when facing a sudden major event.

However, Walsh's performance was not over yet, because immediately afterwards, the ringtones of the cell phones of the reporters who were recording and taking photos across the streets rang out.

Even if the fool understands that the situation must be very serious, Walsh began to become absent-minded, and his eyes were endlessly wandering back and forth between the reporters and books on the scene, in this eager way, he showed that he had no idea about the whole thing.

At the same time, the spokesman Perlin also raised a sign to Walsh Jr., reminding the President not to make any relevant remarks at this time.

In fact, Perlin didn't remind him that little Walsh would do this, and little Walsh sat in the chair until the first reading exercise ended.

Little Walsh stood up at this time, and simply greeted the teachers and children on the scene, and then left in a hurry.

...

Because there is a three-hour time difference between the east and west of the United States, when the attack occurred, it was dawn in San Francisco.

The numbers 11 and 9 were so familiar to Zhou Ming's mind, which resulted in Zhou Ming not having enough sleep all night, so he got up very early.

The facts proved that Zhou Ming's premonition was right, because when Zhou Ming got up from the bed, he heard the phone call at the head of the bed ringing rapidly. Zhou Ming picked up and answered it. It was indeed Li Yang's call. He told himself tremblingly on the phone: He was attacked, and New York was indeed attacked!

When he heard this news, let alone Zhou Ming, even Tang Ran, who was confused next to him, suddenly became energetic.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran immediately turned on the TV, and the scene of an airplane crashing into the World Trade Center.

Tang Ran widened his eyes and covered his mouth: "My God, Brother Ming, you really predicted that they really did it today!"

Tang Ran then grabbed the alarm clock on the table, and the time was only 9:20.

"Fortunately, Brother Ming, you made preparations in advance. Otherwise, if you wait until the attack occurs before responding, it will be too late. Even if Chen Shu and Ye Ning and others have made the model, it won't work!" Tang Ran said with gratitude.

Fortunately, Chen Shu and Ye Ning in the Phu Quoc Building are also the ones who are still in the opening of the New York Stock Exchange.

There is an hour when the attack has fermented through this hour, and it will definitely cause a general plunge in the capital market.

Under such a stock market avalanche, no order can be made, even if the model is well done, it is useless. You will also miss the first wave of opportunities.

Although they have considered this situation and made subsequent remediation measures, the subsequent remediation can only be to make up for the dead. If they miss the fattest piece of meat, they will miss it.

But now, since they prepared in advance yesterday, they had just had this bite.

If Zhou Ming is just an ordinary investor, such as when he went to Hong Kong City to bet on the stock market crash for the first time, the benefits brought by such black swan events can make him excited.

But at this time, Zhou Ming paid more and more attention, especially when he knew the real purpose behind this attack.

Not only Zhou Ming, but also Director Chen called at the first time to discuss the possible next moves of Walsh Jr.

"Next, Walsh should start against SWIFT. If it weren't for Comrade Zhou Ming, you participated in all this, I wouldn't have thought that there would be such a purpose hidden behind this." Director Chen was filled with emotion.

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly. If he hadn't been reborn this time, he would have thought that this statement would have been the conspiracy theory of the keyboard politicians online.

The facts are sometimes so incredible. When media around the world were shocked by the attack and criticized the terrorists, I was afraid no one would have thought that the first order issued by Walsh Jr. when he returned to his official residence was to ask the CIA to immediately control the chairman of SWIFT.

"We need to know who is attacking our country, and who is providing funds for these terrorists, and we need to strike the most resolutely against these abominable bastards!"

This is what Walsh Jr. said to his CIA Director Lynch when he issued an order. WIFT provides information services to global financial institutions, and has branches and servers in the United States and Europe. As the chairman of SWIFT, he naturally has to run around the two ends.

According to the itinerary, Andy should have returned to Europe on November 11, but due to the attack, the CIA agents contacted the "Mr. World Finance" as soon as possible.

"I am also a federal citizen! I am not engaged in any illegal or criminal activities. You have no right to seize me. You are doing this to trample on the constitution and human rights. I will sue you, I swear!"

Andy roared angrily in his New York office, and in front of him were more than a dozen CIA agents.

The captain in the lead told Andy to rest as he was a little restless. He told Andy that he was just carrying out a mission: "I know Mr. Andy is also a federal citizen, but now the federal government is being attacked, and any federal citizen has an obligation to cooperate with our work."

"What if I refuse to cooperate?" Andy asked.

The CIA leader smiled and replied: "I don't think Mr. Andy would make such a stupid choice."

Andy was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, his face was tangled, and he finally agreed to the CIA's request.

"What do you want me to do? Although I am the chairman of SWIFT, in fact, the power in my hands is not as great as you think. I don't have the power to share all the transaction information with you." Andy said.

“There will be.”

The captain of the Intelligence Bureau said to Andy. Although he said it with a smile, Andy couldn't help but shivered.

Later Andy followed these CIA agents to their office for coffee.

At the same time, the US's propaganda machine was fully launched, first of all, the White House press conference. Spokesperson Perlin made a high-profile announcement at the meeting that terrorism will become the biggest obstacle to global peace and security in the future, and combating terrorism on a global scale will also become the most important task of the federal government in the future.

In addition, Perlin also said that the federal government has sent a note to its allies, asking these just allies to support themselves in fighting terrorism on a global scale.

Faced with the US's note, European allies responded and supported.

First of all, Great Britain, which is the same family and the most staunch ally, said that the New York attack was a very horrifying terrorist incident and a rough trampling on freedom and civilization. In order to defend its own people, these terrorist organizations that caused the attack must be eradicated.

France, Germany and other countries also expressed their support for the United States. They believe that this terrorist attack has broken through the bottom line that morality can tolerate, and no one can tolerate such a thing going on.

The support attitude of these European countries is expected. After all, we are all ally in the Western world. Now that the United States has suffered such a serious terrorist attack, everyone can support it. It is definitely no problem to be an atmosphere group.

But they never expected that from the moment they announced their support, the United States would be crazily lying on it.

Because SWIFT's chairman Andy later announced that the SWIFT organization would open information sharing to US intelligence agencies to help US combat terrorism.

This news immediately made European countries sensational. They joked that they only thought they were done as an atmosphere group, but why did you steal my base?

The reason why European finance was able to compete with the hegemony of the US dollar in the past and even dared to openly engage in a capital world war with the United States was ultimately due to the checks and balances of the US dollar by SWIFT. But now you say you want to open up information sharing? Then isn’t the capital battlefield one-way transparent?

How can Europe play like this? Isn’t your own capital flow completely under your surveillance in the United States?

At this time, the United States can completely impose targeted sanctions on key enterprises or banks, and this capital world war will not be able to continue!

Therefore, all European countries unanimously expressed their opposition.

Of course, the United States has been prepared for this. While ensuring that it would check information for the purpose of counter-terrorism, it would also strictly keep the information confidential. At the same time, it also increased its efforts to promote the harm of terrorism, publicize the losses caused to the United States by the 119 attacks, and publicize the poor children who were attacked by terrorists.

It can be said that the Americans' actions put themselves on a moral high ground, and any expression of opposition or non-support will be regarded as a shelter from terrorism.

final……

That morning, when Walsh Jr. came to his Oval Office, his official Humphrey reported to him excitedly: "They compromised and at the SWIFT board meeting yesterday, a plan was passed to allow federal intelligence agencies to access information!"

Although it was expected, Walsh Jr. still breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this way, this capital world war can finally end in my hands!" said Walsh Jr.
Chapter completed!
