12. Meeting, Dance Party (XXXVII)

Terrorist attacks.

The inhabitants of the other world have long been familiar with this term to the point of getting tired of it, and whenever it appears in the news, it is always associated with religious extremist forces, extremist ideologies, national independence movements, losers who cannot integrate into society, labor disputes, and a series of human avatars with the label of "extremists". At the same time, there are also bloody images of explosions, shootings, and stabs.

But for the people of this world, there is no concept of indiscriminate terrorist attacks that do not distinguish between soldiers, dignitaries, and civilians, let alone respond to such emergencies correctly and calmly.

An explosion in Lundinum brought terrorism to everyone.

This statement is somewhat unpleasant, but when he shares the senses of the Genesis infected and admires the panicked appearance of the people, Li Lin still decides that this sentence best reflects the expression and thoughts of the people of Albion.

If the previous "Seven-Day War" gave the world its first taste of the cruelty and horror of "total warfare," the explosions that have occurred and will occur in Lundinium have given the world a taste of the power of unrestricted warfare, an extended form of total warfare.

Total warfare is characterized not only by targeting enemy troops, but also by targeting enemy civilians, using the most brutal and intense means to create terror and force the enemy to submit. Although the scale of unrestricted warfare is far less grand than that of general warfare, there is no essential difference, and at most there are some differences in the complexity and scale of the means.

Just as the combination of financial warfare, legal warfare, public opinion warfare, psychological warfare, and cyber warfare allows spies and mercenaries dressed as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to incite disgruntled and brainless young people to carry out regime change, all kinds of terrorist attacks are also an important part of unrestricted warfare. Compared with other covert means of warfare, this is simple and crude. Moreover, the low-cost mode of warfare can make the target feel more deeply than other means, as long as a few cannon fodder, bombs of varying power or even knives, create a few bloodshed in a densely populated area, the citizens will immediately fall into panic. Even if they may not be the victims of a terrorist attack, no one can ignore the possibility after seeing the bloody photos of the explosion scene in the media and hearing all kinds of sensational rumors and rumors. In order to maintain social stability, the government is bound to increase all kinds of spending on terrorism and riot prevention, and disinfect rumors and rumors, which will constrain the operation of the resources of the entire society and the strategic energy of the country. If the attacking side is using a nuclear, biological or chemical (NBC) weapon. The scope of damage and the extent of damage will be further exponential.

In terms of conditions. This world is much more convenient than terror on Earth. In the absence of a strict household registration system, the state's control over every neighborhood, every street, and every toilet is far from being under control. As long as you have that mind, it is not difficult to get the puppet infected with Genesis to put the unknown package in the designated location, and set the type, power, and blasting method of the bomb through guò. Combined with the number of people in the event area, wind speed, humidity, building structure, aging process and other environmental parameters. Predicting casualties is no small matter.

It's like doing fill-in-the-blank questions. Fill in the blanks with the value called "reality" and accumulate it to finally arrive at the answer that has already been determined - the result called "future".

Feel free to pick up the porcelain cup. Blowing away the mist, Li Lin took a sip of black tea elegantly.

There are more types and quantities of black tea on the market in Albion than Charlemagne, and many of them are of the same weight as gold. It's just that the poor taste of the people of Albiang is not only reflected in the food, but sometimes it is also expressed in the waste of tea, and before the tea culture really develops, Li Lin has to do it himself.

In fact, it's good to let Roland or Nidhogg make tea, but it's a pity that Nidhogg is far away from Charlemagne, and Roland should have a headache with that report, wondering what kind of problem this is, and I can't count on them at the moment.

In fact, the purpose of the report was very simple: to show that the bombings were not for any political or economic purpose, but purely for work, and secondly, to create an atmosphere of terror.

The purpose of a terrorist attack is not to kill as many people as possible or destroy as many facilities, but to use "terror" as a strategic tool to crush and crush opponents from a spiritual level. However, depending on the subject's capacity, the effect of this means will be different. Ordinary citizens living in peacetime will be frightened when they see mentally ill people slashing people on the street, but refugees in war-torn areas can escape correctly in the shortest possible time when they are bombed.

In a country like Albion, which is just beginning to modernize, one or two explosions alone will not make much of a wave, and even if people are sent around to spread rumors, they will only stuff people into Walsingham's torture room.

However, a "future" that is clearly described and will be realized is different.

Ordinary prophecies, such as those of the famous Nostradamus, may not necessarily come true, and their content is ambiguous or even unclear, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the interpreter can interpret it in his favor. However, the "future report" left by Li Lin is different, everything that will happen, including the details, is clear and accurate, and there is no room for ambiguous interpretation, and everything is "the future that will definitely happen".

When this is recognized, the fear quickly expands and spreads.

The reason is simple: the future painted in that report was too stark, and it was all about death. Humans, creatures whose curiosity is deeper than that of other intelligent species, need to know nothing about the future in order to survive. The "future that is taken for granted" is tantamount to depriving them of hope, and it is no longer possible to maintain peace in their hearts. In a sense, the horror was more impactful than the explosion itself.

What's more, this terrifying "freshness" Cheng dù is also quite high.

From the very beginning, the purpose of this operation was to achieve a kind of "controllable terror". If it is simply to maximize the horror, then it is enough to spread all kinds of bacteria and viruses. With an ideal hotbed like Lundinum, Bacillus anthracis, botulinum toxin, pneumonic plague, Ebola virus, and mad cow disease virus can turn this "fog capital" into a "dead capital" in less than half a month, not to mention the research results of the ongoing "ghoul" and "corpse variant" projects in Alfheim, as well as the "Y-chromosome killing virus" that has yet to be developed. By then, not to mention Albion, the whole world will faithfully recreate the horrific scenes of Pieter Brucher's masterpiece "The Carnival of Death", compared to which a few IEDs and pages of Death Note are nothing compared to that horror.

Li Lin does not intend to engage in this kind of "heavenly punishment", which conflicts with his strategic plan, and in terms of short-term goals, it is really putting the cart before the horse. What he needs is to open up the situation through the pressure of terror and chaos.

Miledi has not been seen so far, but anyone can tell that Walsingham has a decent chance of winning in this endurance race.

In order to break this stalemate, it is necessary to have some small violence, not too light, otherwise the people of Albion will not be painful and ineffective, and it must not be too heavy, which will lead the situation out of control -- there is no better choice than to continue to "keep fresh" bomb attacks.

With the frequent bombing incidents, under the pressure of public opinion and the Queen, Walsingham had to send people to search for the bombardier, even if he was unwilling, and the time-pressed Miledi was bound to take action, and then ......

Drinking the black tea in the toast again, Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. The homeless people who infected Genesis and turned into ears and eyes once again peeked at the people who were swept up in the storm. (To be continued......)
