In the mid-to-late 1940s, the great differences and conflicts of interests between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies became increasingly fierce, and almost everyone was preparing for a war that should be called "World War III". Even Principal Jiang is looking forward to the outbreak of the Third World War, so that he may use the Americans to directly send troops to counterattack a certain place...
But someone poured cold water on this war, which cooled down the temperature. Who exactly this "person" is, I'll talk about it later. Let’s first talk about the three World Wars that have been cooled down. It has been transformed into a see-saw that lasted for more than forty years—the “Cold War.”
The process must be known to everyone, mainly because the United States and the Soviet Union, the two superpowers, are engaged in confrontation and competition in terms of technology, armaments, economy, politics, etc. This competition has even developed into the literary and artistic circles. Looking back... In the past 007 series of movies, Bond's imaginary enemies were always the Soviets. Also come to the big screen for activities. Is it because Harrison Ford killed the last handful of Russian terrorists on "Air Force One" in 1997? And then they've been extinct from American blockbusters ever since? Well, this question can be studied slowly in the future, let's take a look at the following things first...
By the time the Cold War drew to a close, it was the 1990s.
Energy security, the Gulf War, the credit crisis, the recession, oh yes, the release of "Back to the Future 3" and the discontinuation of the Atari game console... A lot happened in the United States in the early 1990s, and it also faced many problems. question.
In the eighties, everything was gold (women's hair color, heavy metal band attire, well... and sword-seeking prizes). And in the 90s... the last decade of the 20th century, everything (except Jackson) is undoubtedly heading towards the dark, like climbing a mountain and immediately approaching a cliff...
December 25, 1991.
For American politicians, this Christmas is definitely a day worth celebrating, because on the same day, Gorbachev announced his resignation from the presidency. It is also revealed at this moment.
There was no foreign invasion by force, and no natural disasters such as meteorite impacts. Gorbachev was not an incompetent politician; The contradictions between the monopoly groups in hand and the ordinary people are too intensified, the concentration of power and bureaucracy have hampered the development of the country, and everything is irreversible. Of course... I personally think that the disintegration of the Soviet Union can be summed up in the four words "full of evil", and it has little to do with who the leader was at the time. Doing evil, the final retribution is on the descendants.
All in all, a new era has come, and the world pattern has undergone major changes. The victory of the Cold War has made the United States the world's number one superpower.
But... Pushing away the layers of cloud and mist, through the thick and dense, but a few people can see clearly that the "end" and even the "beginning" of everything have long been manipulated...
Now we are going to start discussing what that "person" did, I guess everyone can guess, yes, it is Vincent...
Vincent, Woody and Simon, they were involved in almost the entire Second World War.
Dunkirk retreated, they retreated; Charles de Gaulle fled France, they flew the plane; British air battle, they did odd jobs at the airport; defended Stalingrad, they fought guerrillas in the city; Normandy landing, they also went to land; Buchen Armed uprising inside Wald camp, guess who started the fire; atomic bombing... well, they didn't drop the bomb, but Woody had something to do with the Manhattan Project.
These three guys desperately needed a vacation after six years of fighting fascism. But at this time, the flames of the Third World War gradually rose. For them, it was like going to work continuously on the eve of National Day, only to be suddenly told the day before the holiday that they would have to work overtime at work during the long holiday.
So Vincent hatches a plan...
He came to the United States alone, took a false identity, and used his extraordinary ability, charisma, and authentic Italian mafia slang to quickly break into the top ranks of a criminal organization. In the year, Midnight, a mysterious organization that plays a heavyweight role in the dark part of human history.
Only a few months have passed, and the position of leader is already in front of him, within reach. The specific process will not be listed in detail one by one. I am afraid that only Al Capone can guess what Vincent did. In short, after an operation known as "Bloodwashing the Garden", the new generation of BOSS in the middle of the night took over.
Many things are really immediate. Vincent has been in power for less than half a year, and the doves among the political leaders of various countries have somehow gained more right to speak. A very strange concept came into being and was acquiesced and implemented by both camps—" All hostilities other than direct armed attack".
What is this? The second half of this sentence serves the first half, right? Is this a paradox or a sick sentence? !
But things have developed so miraculously...
In 1946, Churchill (his father was really not Jack the Ripper) visited the United States and indirectly announced the beginning of the Cold War with his famous "Iron Curtain Speech". To say that the British people are really unkind, because of this speech, the old man stepped down not long after, and was accused of being a "warmonger" by the country. I don't know which warmonger led you grandsons to win the battle. World War II's…
A year later, the Soviet-American Cold War officially kicked off.
While engaging in missile threats, at the same time engaging in gold and dollar diplomacy; you are the ultimate fighter to liberate all mankind, and I am the vanguard of hegemony.
Nuclear warheads, everyone builds them together, the amount produced is enough to blow up the earth into a black hole, but I don’t throw any of them, I’m happy, what’s the matter? I put it in the warehouse after I finished it, and put it in the warehouse for 50 years, and pay the maintenance fee, can you afford it
Spy, send to the sea, you send two reinforcement divisions, and I will form an army. If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will be imprisoned. Resist strictly and go home for the New Year. Evaporation in the world is not a miracle. It is a state secret if you catch it and kill it.
It is worth mentioning that the space race between the two countries finally promoted the rapid development of human space technology, which can be described as unintentional.
Having said so much, I suddenly thought of... What about the Third World War
The process of cooking cooked rice from raw rice during the Three Wars, with the intervention of a weird idea, finally cooked a pot of raw rice... Maybe in a few years, the fifty years of making this pot of raw rice will be regarded by historians. It is another leap forward peak period of human science since the industrial revolution.
So, enough of the history lesson, back to the story.
After Vincent used Ziye to achieve his goals, he immediately found a successor, making himself the boss with the shortest term in Ziye's history. However, the next boss he chose did a good job and worked for thirty years. as long as. If you mentioned this to Vincent today, he would feel a little bit of pride, but also a little bit of guilt for the renaissance of New York gangsters from the 1950s to the 1980s.
But even Vincent himself didn't expect that his actions back then would change the fate of the Ziye organization. He left, but the historical tradition of an organization will still be passed on.
Midnight has existed for many years. In different historical periods, the organization has different titles. Its roots can be traced back to the Renaissance and even the First Crusade. This organization has always been good at using religious, political and other means to influence powerful people, even the king, so as to achieve the purpose of legalizing its crimes.
Since ancient times, Ziye has been like a country without its own territory, constantly sending spies to high-level officials in other countries, so that they can manipulate wars and influence policies, so that they can take advantage of it. It has never been interrupted for many years, and the clear hierarchy makes their core members always stand in the safe zone at the top of society. The law is ridiculous to them, because it can't deal with them at all.
However, the appearance of Vincent broke this pattern, and they learned that there is a bravery that can't be defeated with a gun in this world, and a strategy that can't be stopped by any means.
Therefore, starting from the generation of Vincent's successor, Ziye refined his internal mafia-like hierarchy, divided three special battle groups according to combat power, and began to consciously recruit some with "special talents" of people into their own upper echelon...
