Chapter 22: The Hostage Doomed to Sacrifice
The existence of the Blood Lion mercenaries and their brother troops, the Hell Paratroopers, in China is indeed a difficult knot to unravel, on the one hand, this deposit is not legal, and on the other hand, it is really necessary for national security.
Listening to Meng Yanglong's tone, it seemed that he had found a way, which made Cang Hao feel very relieved.
Meng Yanglong has an upright temperament and will not fool people, let alone fool people in such an important matter.
It's just that the difficulty of legalizing the existence of the Blood Lion Mercenaries and the Hell Paratroopers is not ordinary.
Anyway, Cang Hao thought about it, but he couldn't find a suitable way.
Since Meng Yanglong didn't want to say more, Cang Hao simply didn't ask, but said, "If there's anything else, let's go back and talk about it, I'm too tired and want to rest......"
On a tiring day, Cang Hao slept soundly.
The city where the terrorist attack took place, the time zone is about the same as that of Guangsha, and it is also night.
But Serchenko did not dare to rest and could not sleep, walking back and forth in the dilapidated command center, waiting for the terrorists to make conditions.
Eight hours passed quickly, and Serchenko's cell phone rang, and it was the terrorists calling.
As last time, the terrorist spoke in an electrosynthetic voice with a calm tone: "I hope you have a good night's sleep." ”
"Do you think I have the heart to sleep?" Serchenko shook his head and said word by word: "Is it possible to negotiate conditions!"
"Yes. ”
"That's good......" Serchenko breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the terrorists asked, there was hope for a peaceful settlement of this matter: "I promised that within my ability, I would agree to your requests, and I could even guarantee that you leave safely, but only if you did not harm the hostages......"
The other party interrupted Serchenko's words: "I know that the FSB has a whole set of anti-terrorist plans, from how to negotiate with terrorists, how to set up a surprise plan, to how to rescue hostages. However, the times are changing rapidly, and your bureaucratic style has made you forget to improve and revise this plan, so you should save it now, your old-fashioned routine will not work for us. ”
"Well, since you said so, then don't talk nonsense......" Serchenko felt a little embarrassed: "Just say your conditions!"
"Ten billion dollars. ”
"What?" Serchenko was startled, he knew that the terrorists would ask for a huge ransom, but one or two hundred million was the upper limit, but he didn't expect the terrorists to open their mouths so loudly.
"Ten billion dollars, don't you hear clearly?" said the terrorist coldly: "We provide a Swiss bank account, and within an hour, the money must be transferred." ”
"Do you know what 10 billion dollars is, how can the federal government come up with so much money?"
"If it's too expensive, then we'll only have to execute hostages, a few hundred people, enough to kill for a while. ”
"If all the hostages die, you will also pay for your lives. ”
The terrorist said without hesitation: "Since we dare to come here, we are not afraid of sacrifice." ”
Serchenko roared and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"Money!" The other party paused for a moment and said word by word: "Ten billion dollars, not a penny less!"
"Wait, everything is negotiable......" Serchenko was shocked by the other party's attitude, and hurriedly softened his tone: "Even if the federal government agrees, it will take a long time to raise so much money, how can it be done in an hour!"
The terrorist's tone was devoid of emotion: "That's your problem!"
"Also, this thing doesn't make sense......," Shaking his head, Serchenko tentatively said, "You know, Swiss banks are not as secure as they used to be, and they can provide customer information to other governments......"
"Do you think we didn't do enough before we started?" the terrorist sneered: "Switzerland has joined the new standard for automatic exchange of information between banks, and it is true that it can provide customer information, but we still have a few months before it comes into force in 2015." ”
"But an amount as large as 10 billion US dollars, once it is transferred, there will be traces no matter what, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"
"Don't be afraid. ”
"I think you should spread it out into a few accounts. ”
"No, I don't have to. The other party was a little impatient: "How to transfer a huge amount of money in an account, this is our problem, you don't need to bother, your problem is to pay the money as much as possible." ”
"Okay...... I'll ask my superiors for instructions......"
"It seems that you have very limited power. The other party's tone put on a hint of sarcasm: "Okay, whoever you ask, in short, we have to receive the money within an hour, otherwise we will shoot a hostage every ten minutes." ”
Dropping this sentence, the other party interrupted the call.
Serchenko did not dare to delay, and immediately called the number two and reported the situation truthfully.
"Ten billion dollars, yes. The voice of the number two is always as calm as water, like the terrorists without any emotion: "You should know that our financial situation is not very optimistic right now, but even when our budget is at its best, it is impossible to come up with so much money." ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"I said we had to prepare for the worst, and it looks like it's going to come true. ”
Serchenko's heart was cold, knowing that the second person meant to sacrifice these hostages: "What should I do?"
"Mobilize all the Alpha special forces to storm again. The second person paused, and continued to order without hesitation: "Considering that the Alpha special forces have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, I will send troops from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support and annihilate the terrorists at any cost." ”
To put it simply, there are two special forces under the command of the Federal Security Service, the Alpha is mainly internal, and the Signal Flag is mainly external.
In addition, Russia has a Ministry of Internal Affairs, which functions similarly to the Federal Security Service, and has an armed force of more than 200,000 people. The "Ministry of Internal Affairs Force" mentioned by the No. 2 person refers to this, which is equivalent to the armed police force in China, between the army and the police, and also belongs to the faction of the No. 2 person.
Outside the Federal Security Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Bundeswehr, which is the most powerful force in Russia, but this force belongs to the president's mountain.
The F-FDTL was not involved in the incident, as it was primarily responsible for foreign operations and did not include counter-terrorism.
The concern of the No. 2 is that if the incident is not resolved quickly, the president may mobilize the Wehrmacht, which would weaken his power.
Serchenko could figure out the mind of the No. 2 person, but he still asked with some concerns: "Do this...... Is it appropriate, after all, there are hundreds of hostages there, and if the terrorists start killing people......"
"I know you're soft-hearted. The second person smiled slightly and said slowly: "First of all, we have to make it clear that it is impossible for the Federation to pay this money, so the result is that the terrorists execute the hostages one by one." So we might as well take the initiative, of course there will be casualties among the hostages, but as long as we can save one, it will be better than that result. I also feel sorry for the hostages, but it's a pity that they are destined to die, and I can only blame them for going to the wrong place at the wrong time. ”
"Maybe they're just bluffing. Serchenko hurriedly said: "If the hostages are all dead, how will the terrorists leave the hospital, they will be torn to pieces by angry soldiers and policemen, I don't believe they would rather die here." ”
"Maybe they're really willing to die here. The second person shook his head, and his tone became cold again: "Serchenko, we can't bet on the minds of terrorists, otherwise once we lose, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Serchenko was speechless for a moment: "This ......"
"Let's do it. The second person exhaled a long breath: "End the battle as much as possible." ”
Serchenko put down the phone, stood there with his head down, and after a moment, shouted at his men: "Ready to fight!"
Besides, on Cang Hao's side, he didn't do anything else after getting up, and went directly to Dolin Temple.
Not far from the temple gate, Cang Hao suddenly felt that the evil wind behind him was not good, and subconsciously lowered his head, and a brick brushed the back of his head.
Cang Hao stretched out his hand and took out the golden pistol, and the handle of the gun smashed behind him, only to hear a miserable scream.
Cang Hao turned around and took a look, and found that it was Feng Zenzi who was wearing a Taoist robe, and the butt of the gun was smashed on the bridge of his nose just now.
Feng Chanzi covered his nose and took a few steps back, blood spraying out from between his fingers.
Cang Hao looked sideways at Feng Chanzi: "Why are you again?"
"I ...... I'm not done with you!" Because the bridge of his nose was broken, Feng Chanzi spoke in an urn voice: "If I don't destroy you, how will I mix in the road in the future!"
"Ten dollars can make you so desperate. Cang Hao understood when he heard this, thinking that it was the last incident that made Feng Chanzi feel very faceless afterwards, so he would come to plot against himself.
"It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of face...... Feng Chanzi said, and suddenly with the same left hand, a puff of white smoke spewed towards Cang Hao.
For a moment, Cang Hao wondered if this Feng Zenzi had become an immortal and could sacrifice a flying sword from the dantian to take people's heads thousands of miles away.
However, when the white smoke drifted closer, Cang Hao realized that it was not that complicated, just a handful of lime.
Behind the slap bricks and lime, this product is simply Wei Xiaobao's apprentice, but what "The Deer and Ding Ji" didn't tell him is that the lime will easily disperse when it is blown by the wind outdoors, and it has no lethality.
What's more, Cang Hao's reaction speed was much faster than him, and as soon as he lowered his head, he dodged over.
However, when Cang Hao raised his head, he was forty years old, because his hair was all white.
Feng Chanzi thought he had a plan, and pounced on Cang Hao with his teeth and claws: "You go to die!"
Cang Hao raised his hand and slapped Feng Chanzi in the face, just as the two bayberry sores broke, and pus flowed out of them and floated in the air, flying together with the two back molars that Feng Zenzi had dropped.
