In the mid-to-late 1940s, huge differences and conflicts of interest between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies became increasingly fierce. Almost everyone was preparing for a war that should be called "World War III." Even Chiang Kai-shek
The principal is looking forward to the outbreak of World War III, so that he may use the Americans to directly send troops to counterattack somewhere...
But someone poured cold water on this war and cooled it down. Who is this "person"? I will talk about it later. Let's first talk about the three wars that were cooled down and turned into a war.
A tug-of-war that lasted for more than 40 years - the "Cold War".
Everyone must be familiar with the process. It mainly involves the tit-for-tat confrontation and competition between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, in terms of technology, armaments, economy, politics, etc. This competition has even developed into the literary and art circles.
Recall... In the past 007 series of movies, Bond's imaginary enemy was always the Soviets. It was not until the 21st century that they decided to change their taste and let terrorists from European and Middle Eastern countries also come to the big screen.
.Is it because Harrison Ford killed the last handful of Russian terrorists in "Air Force One" in 1997? And then they became extinct from American blockbusters? Well, this question can be left to the future.
For research, let’s take a look at what’s behind first…
By the time the Cold War was coming to an end, it was already the 1990s.
Energy security, the Gulf War, the credit crisis, the economic recession, oh yes, there is also the release of "Back to the Future 3" and the discontinuation of Atari game consoles... A lot of things happened in the United States in the early 1990s, and it was also faced with
many questions.
In the 1980s, everything was blond (women's hair color, heavy metal band attire, well... sword hunt prizes). And in the 90s... the last decade of the 20th century,
Everything is undoubtedly moving towards darkness (except for Jackson), just like after climbing a mountain, it is immediately approaching the cliff...
December 25, 1991.
For American politicians, this Christmas is definitely a day worth celebrating, because on the same day, Gorbachev announced his resignation as president. This event meant the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the outcome of the "Cold War"
It will undoubtedly be revealed at this moment.
There was no invasion of foreign force, and there were no natural disasters such as meteorite impacts. Gorbachev was not an incompetent politician. However, the residual poison of Stalin's system could not be eliminated in a short time. Those in the Soviet Union who combined politics and economics
The contradiction between the monopoly groups and the ordinary people in their hands has intensified too much. The concentration of power and bureaucracy have restricted the development of the country. Everything is irreversible. Of course... I personally think that the disintegration of the Soviet Union can be described as "full of evil".
"To sum it up in four words, it has little to do with who the leader was at that time. Just like Chongzhen, he was not the king of the country's subjugation, but he was the fate of the country's subjugation. His ancestors did evil, and in the end he was punished by his descendants.
All in all, a new era has arrived, and the world's structure has undergone major changes. The victory of the Cold War has made the United States the world's largest superpower. Its national power is unparalleled for a while. They are trying to prove to the world that they are invincible.
But...pushing aside the layers of clouds and fog, through the dense clouds, a few people saw clearly that the "end" of everything, and even the "beginning", had already been manipulated...
Now we will start to explore what that "person" did. I think everyone can guess that, yes, it is Vincent...
Vincent, Woody and Simon, they participated in almost the entire World War II.
During the Dunkirk evacuation, they retreated; when de Gaulle fled France, they flew planes; during the British Air War, they worked as miscellaneous workers at the airport; when defending Stalingrad, they fought guerrillas in the city; during the Normandy landing, they also landed at Bucheng;
There was an armed uprising inside the Walder concentration camp, guess who lit the fire; the atomic bomb exploded...well, they didn't drop the bomb, but Woody had something to do with the "Manhattan Project".
After six years of anti-fascist war, these three guys desperately needed a vacation. But at this time, the flames of the Third World War gradually started to emerge. For them, it was like working continuously on the eve of National Day, and the result
It feels like being suddenly told the day before a holiday that you have to work overtime at your workplace during the long holiday.
So Vincent hatched a plan...
He came to the United States alone, made a false identity, and used his extraordinary abilities, charisma, and authentic Italian Mafia slang to quickly break into the top of a criminal organization, a group that had existed for hundreds of years.
In 2008, a mysterious organization played a heavyweight role in the darkness of human history - Midnight.
Just a few months later, the position of leader was placed in front of him, within reach. The specific process will not be detailed one by one. I am afraid that only Al Capone can guess what Vincent did. In short, in one
After the operation known as the "Bloodbath in the Back Garden", a new generation of BOSS took over in Midnight.
Many things are really immediate. Vincent has been in power for less than half a year. The doves among the political leaders of various countries have somehow gained more say. A very strange concept has come into being and has been 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 actually developed so magically...
In 1946, Churchill (his father was not Jack the Ripper) visited the United States and indirectly announced the beginning of the Cold War with his famous "Iron Curtain Speech". It was really unkind of the British people because he failed in this speech.
It didn't take long for him to step down, and he was accused of being a "war monger" at home. I don't know which warmonger led your grandsons to win World War II...
A year later, the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States officially began.
While engaging in missile threats, you are engaging in gold-dollar diplomacy; you are the ultimate fighter for the liberation of all mankind, and I am the vanguard of hegemonism.
Let's build nuclear warheads together. The quantity produced is enough to blow the earth into a black hole. But if we don't throw away any of them, I'm happy with it. Why? I'll build it and put it in a warehouse. It will last for fifty years and I'll pay for the maintenance.
, can you afford it?
Spies, sent to the sea, you send two reinforced divisions, I will form an army. If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will be jailed. If you resist, you will be stern, and you will go home for the New Year. It is not a strange thing to disappear from the world. If you catch it, you will be killed.
National secret.
It is worth mentioning that the space race between these two countries ultimately promoted the rapid development of human space technology, which can be said to be unintentional.
Having said so much, I suddenly thought of... what about the third battle?
In the process of cooking raw rice into cooked rice during the Third World War, under the intervention of a weird thought, a pot of uncooked rice was finally cooked... Maybe in a few years, the fifty years of brewing this pot of uncooked rice will be remembered by historians
It is regarded as another peak period of progress in human science since the industrial revolution.
So, that's the end of the history lesson and back to the story.
After Vincent used Ziye to achieve his goal, 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.
For a long time. If you mentioned this to Vincent today, he would probably feel a little proud, but also a little guilty about the revival of New York gangs from the 1950s to the 1980s.
But even Vincent himself did not expect that his actions back then would change the fate of the organization at Midnight. He left, but the history and tradition of an organization would still be passed on.
Midnight has existed for many years. In different historical periods, the organization has had different names. Its roots can be traced back to the Renaissance and even the First Crusade. This organization has always been good at using religion, politics, etc.
, influencing powerful people, even kings, to achieve the purpose of legalizing their crimes.
Since ancient times, Midnight has been like a country without its own territory, constantly sending spies to high-level officials of 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 of levels has enabled
Their core members always stand in the safe zone at the top of society, and the law is ridiculous to them because it cannot deal with them at all.
However, the appearance of Vincent broke this pattern. They learned that there are bravery in this world that cannot be defeated with guns, and there are strategies that cannot be stopped by any means.
Therefore, starting from the generation of Vincent's successor, Midnight further refined its internal mafia-like hierarchy, divided it into three special battle groups based on combat strength, and began to consciously recruit some with "special talents"
