Chapter 2396: Sacrifice and conspiracy

After hearing Lin Rui's unceremonious questioning, General Logan's reaction seemed calm. There is no anger, no excitement, just looking at him calmly and sighing, "I knew I didn't hire the wrong person. No wonder he also said that this matter must be hidden from you."
"Really you did it?" Lin Rui said in shock, "but why? Who is the ‘him’ you said?!"
"It's me." A hidden door opened instantly on one wall of the room. From the secret door, a man pushed a wheelchair out. The old man in the wheelchair was the one who promised Lin Rui just now.
Lin Rui's expression changed when he saw him and the man. "Duncan, Aladdin, are you?"
"Yes, it's us." Aladdin said slowly, "This whole thing was planned by General Logan and I."
"What? You deliberately released mustard gas in Independence Square? But why?!" Lin Rui looked at them in surprise.
"It is not an easy task to fight against the secret society. Sometimes it is necessary not only to stimulate its own potential, but also to use other external forces." Aladdin slowly said, "We made this matter for two purposes. One is to inspire Anmo. People’s resistance. The second is to win international support.
First of all, we can use this incident to arouse the hatred of the Anmor people towards the Orumi Federation, and all the damage caused by this attack will be recorded on the Orumi Federation. This will arouse greater anger and hatred, and unite the entire Anmore to support General Logan in continuing the fight.
Second, the chemical weapons incident will arouse international attention. Regarding weapons of mass destruction, the five major powers all hold a cautious attitude towards this. Once the incident here is exposed, it will trigger the United Nations Security Council's verification procedures against the Orumi Federation. And we all know that the secret society used to have a large number of chemical weapons hidden in the territory of Orumi. "
"Put the blame on the secret society? But do you know how many civilians will be killed or injured in this incident?" Lin Rui looked at them.
"We have made an accurate estimate and can control the casualties within an appropriate range, specifically within 300 people, so it can create enough influence while ensuring that it will not be too much." General Logan replied.
"It's really hard for me to understand. How can you say such a grandiose thing?" Lin Rui shook his head in disbelief. "Those people in the audience are your supporters. They come to this country's independence celebration, and they come to listen to you. Speeches. But you see them as cold numbers, a bargaining chip used to attract international attention? This is what they think of as the leader of Anmore, and this is what you should do?"
General Logan was silent for a while and looked up and said, "They are the people of Anmore. I feel the same heartache, but I have no choice. People will die in war, and I need such sacrifices now. Even if this is not my wish, But this is the need of a country."
"This is not An Mor's need at all, it's just your personal need." Lin Rui shook his head.
"But in Anmore, I am the country!" General Logan said solemnly.
Aladdin slowly said, "The September 11th attack is the most serious terrorist attack in the United States. At 8:40 am Eastern Time on September 11, 2001, four domestic U.S. flights were hijacked almost simultaneously, two of them Crashing into the skyscraper World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, one attacked the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, southwest of the capital Washington, DC, where the U.S. Department of Defense is located.
After the Pentagon was hit by a plane, the U.S. government confiscated videotapes of nearby video cameras, including the Citgo gas station, the Sheraton Hotel, and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The U.S. government only released a small fragment of the previous crash under public pressure, but there was no trace of the aircraft. Some people believe that cruise missiles hit the Pentagon, and similar missiles were also found in the footage.
The most concerning point is that the gap diameter of the Pentagon is not comparable to that of a Boeing 757, and there are no parts related to the aircraft, such as engines. The Pentagon’s gap is less than 16 feet in diameter. However, the Boeing 757 has a diameter of 12 feet, a wingspan of 124 feet, and a height of 44 feet. Conspiracy theorists criticized that the gap was obviously not caused by a Boeing 757. In a new series of photos released in 2006, although the engine was found, someone immediately pointed out that the flight was powered by Rolls-Royce, but the engine found was not Rolls-Royce. Products.
So people still suspect that this is a conspiracy. After the attack, the US government announced the list of hijackers, and soon declared war on Afghanistan in the name of destroying the Taliban regime and capturing bin , and then declared war on Iraq in the name of searching for weapons of mass destruction; therefore, conspiracy theorists It is believed that the purpose of the attack was self-directed and self-performed by the US government in order to maintain the international status of the United States and achieve hegemony and peace in order to control the world.
But to this day, the doubters may still maintain their unfounded suspicions, but the two wars launched in this name have ended. So for some things, the result and subsequent impact are important, not the process. "
Lin Rui was silent. He looked at Aladdin and said, "I thought you would at least not act like this."
"You are wrong, young man. I was never a good person. I am a criminal, an arms dealer, and a terrorist. And I can do whatever it takes for the safety of myself and my family." Aladdin sighed. "But why are you asking this? Do you care about the civilians? You don't even know them. Your mission is to protect General Logan. You are not responsible for those civilians, and they don't pay you. General Logan is yours. employer."
"Yes. I'm not a good person either, I don't sympathize with them at all. That's why I will be here to work for a warlord like you, General Logan." Lin Rui nodded. "But we could have used the stand-in to draw the Red Tide Squad out and destroy them. But your conscientious plan prevented them from showing up. Now these Red Tide Squad members may be lurking in any place, plan For the next assassination. Now we have become helpless passive responders."
"Things are prioritized. What we are doing is more important than my personal life. Many foreign journalists have been invited to this celebration. After today, news about small African countries being attacked by chemical weapons will fly all over the sky, and many public opinions will Point to the Olumi Federation. On the cusp of this kind of turmoil, the Americans will take the initiative to disassociate themselves from the Olumi Federation, because the Security Council will soon launch an investigation on this.
The scene we directed did sacrifice hundreds of people, but it could effectively delay the pressure on the front line and gave thousands of Anmore children a chance to breathe. I admit that I am not a good person, but in my position, I am destined to be unable to be a good person. Because I must insist on doing what I think is right. "General Logan looked at Lin Rui.
