Residents of the other world have long been familiar with this word and are tired of it. Whenever this word appears in the news, it is always related to religious extremist forces, extreme ideologies, national independence movements, losers who cannot integrate into society, labor disputes, etc.
They are linked together with a series of portraits of people labeled as "extremists". At the same time, there are various bloody scenes of explosions, shootings, and stabbings.
But for people in this world, there is no concept of indiscriminate terrorist attacks that do not distinguish between military personnel, dignitaries, and civilians, let alone a correct and calm response to such emergencies.
An explosion in Londinium brought terrorism to everyone.
This statement is somewhat unpleasant to hear, but by sharing the senses of those infected with Genesis and admiring the panic of people, Li Lin decided that this sentence best reflected the performance and thoughts of the Albion people.
If the previous "Seven Days War" allowed the world to appreciate the cruelty and terror of "total war" for the first time, the explosion that has occurred and will occur in Londinium has allowed the world to appreciate the extended form of total war - super
The power of limited warfare.
The characteristic of total war is that it targets not only enemy troops, but also enemy civilians, using the most cruel and violent means to create terror and force the enemy to surrender. Although the scale of unrestricted warfare is far less grand than that of total war, it is not
There is no essential difference. At most, there are some differences in the complexity and scale of the means.
Just like the comprehensive use of financial warfare, legal warfare, public opinion warfare, psychological warfare, and cyber warfare, agents and mercenaries disguised as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are used to incite disaffected and brainless young people to carry out regime change.
Such terrorist attacks are also an important component of unrestricted warfare.
Partially. Compared with other covert combat methods, this simple, crude and low-cost combat method can make the target feel more profound than other methods. It only takes a few cannon fodder, bombs of varying powers or even knives to fight in a dense crowd.
caused several bloody incidents in the area,
Citizens will immediately fall into panic. Even if they may not become victims of a terrorist attack, after seeing the bloody photos of the explosion scene in the media and hearing all kinds of sensational rumors and rumors, no one can ignore the possibility. In order to
To maintain social stability, the government will inevitably increase expenditures on various types of anti-terrorism and riot prevention, and disinfect rumors and rumors. The resource operation of the entire society and the country's strategic energy will be constrained. If the attacker uses nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons, the victim will be harmed.
The scope and degree will further increase exponentially.
In terms of conditions, this world is much more convenient for terrorist activities than on earth. Since there is no strict household registration management system, the state's control is far from reaching the level of controlling every community, every street, and every toilet.
.As long as you have that intention, let the infection create a century
It is not difficult for a puppet to place an unknown package at a designated location. By setting the type, power, and blasting method of the bomb, combined with various environmental parameters such as the number of people in the event area, wind speed, humidity, building structure, aging, etc., it is necessary to predict
The casualty situation is also a trivial matter.
This is like doing a fill-in-the-blank question. Fill in the blanks with values called "reality" and accumulate them, eventually deriving an answer that has already been determined - the result called "the future".
Li Lin picked up the porcelain cup casually, blew away the mist, and took an elegant sip of black tea.
There are more types and quantities of black tea on the market in Albion than Charlemagne, and many of them are the best that are equivalent to the same weight of gold. However, the poor taste of Albion people is not only reflected in food, but sometimes also in food.
As for wasting tea leaves, Li Lin had to do it himself before tea culture could truly develop.
In fact, it would be good to let Roland or Nidhogg make tea, but it is a pity that Nidhogg is far away in Charlemagne, and Roland should have a headache with the report, wondering what kind of problem this is.
Can't count on them anymore.
In fact, the purpose of that report was very simple: to express that the bombing was not for any political or economic purpose, but purely for work; secondly, it was used to create an atmosphere of terror.
The purpose of a terrorist attack is not to kill many people or destroy many facilities, but to use "terror" as a strategic tool to defeat the opponent from a spiritual level. However, depending on the target's tolerance, this method can be used
The functions are also different. Citizens living in peaceful times will be scared to death when they see mental patients murdering people on the street, but refugees in war-torn areas can escape correctly in the shortest time when they are bombed.
In a country like Albion that has just begun to modernize, one or two explosions alone cannot make much of a splash. Even if they send people to spread rumors everywhere, they will just fill Walsingham's torture chamber with people.
However, the "future" that is clearly described and will definitely be realized is different.
Common prophecies - such as the famous prophecy of Nostradamus may not come true, and the content is ambiguous or even unclear. The interpreter can interpret it in his own favor and say it is the lies of charlatans.
It's not an exaggeration. But the "future report" left by Li Lin is different. What will happen, including the details, are all clear and precise. There is no room for ambiguous explanations. Everything is "certain."
the future that will happen”.
When this is recognized, fear quickly expands and spreads.
The reason is simple. The future described in that report was too vivid, and it was all about death. Human beings are creatures with deeper curiosity than other intelligent species, and they need to know nothing about the future to survive.
The "natural future" is equivalent to depriving them of hope, and it is no longer possible to maintain peace in their hearts. In a sense, this kind of horror is more impactful than the explosion itself.
What's more, this kind of terrifying "preservation" level is also quite high.
From the beginning, the purpose of this operation was to achieve a "controllable terror." If it was simply to maximize terror, then spreading all kinds of bacteria and viruses would be enough. With an ideal hotbed like Londinium,
Bacillus anthracis, botulinum toxin, pneumonic plague, Ebola virus, and mad cow disease virus can turn this "fog city" into a "dead city" in less than half a month, let alone
Let’s talk about the research results of the “ghoul” and “necromorph” projects being carried out in Alfheim, as well as the “y chromosome killing virus” that has yet to be developed. By then, let alone Albion, the whole world will
It faithfully reproduces the horrifying scenes in Peter Brueghel's masterpiece - "Orgy of Death". Compared with that kind of horror, a few IEDs and a few pages of gunshots are not worth mentioning at all.
Li Lin did not intend to engage in this kind of "God's punishment". This conflicted with his strategic plan. In terms of short-term goals, it was actually putting the cart before the horse. What he needed was to use the pressure of terror and chaos to open up the situation.
Milady has not shown up so far, but everyone can see that Walsingham has a great chance of winning in this endurance race.
To break this deadlock, some small violence is bound to be needed, not too light, otherwise the people of Albion will be indifferent and ineffective; nor too heavy, as it will cause the situation to get out of control - in addition to continuing to "keep it fresh"
bomb magic attack, there is no better choice.
With the frequent occurrence of bomb incidents, under the pressure of public opinion and the Queen, Walsingham had to allocate manpower to search for the bomb demon even though he was reluctant. Milady, who was pressed for time, was bound to take action.
hour……
Drinking the black tea in the cup again, Li Lin squinted his eyes slightly. Through the homeless people who were infected with Genesis and turned into ears, he once again peeked at the people involved in the storm. (To be continued...)
