Chapter 272 [Come, Take a Bite] (I)

Minutes and seconds passed.

In such a tense atmosphere, it seems that time is passing slowly.

The atmosphere in the cabin was gloomy, and the crying behind the cabin was faintly heard.

The terrorists took control of both ends of the cabin, and all movement was banned, even going to the bathroom.

One passenger once tried to negotiate with terrorists and asked to go to the bathroom, only to be met with an old punch.

Chen Xiaolian's storage watch does have firearms in it, which he stored when he was in London.

He just carefully counted the time.

During this period, the female terrorist entered the cabin twice.

Chen Xiaolian faintly heard that it seemed that the female terrorists had started negotiations with the government on some conditions.

The voice was intermittent, and Chen Xiaolian didn't hear it very really.

......

"This is what we demand, we demand the immediate release of fifteen prisoners held at Guantánamo, as well as six members of our side who were captured in the Libyan war zone. In addition, the US military must withdraw from the area we have designated within three hours, and at the same time officially announce the complete withdrawal from the war zone! Cease interference in the situation in the area!"

The female terrorists used a walk-in to prescribe these conditions.

Soon the news came from the other party.

It is impossible for the U.S. government to accept such harsh conditions in its entirety.

Heated discussions were ongoing, and the female terrorists were so resolute that they cut off the conversation in the face of negotiations with the U.S. government.

Chen Xiaolian probably heard these contents, and began to show some doubts in his heart.

What conditions for the release of prisoners and the like are clichés, and it is not surprising.

But...... The condition of withdrawing troops within three hours is clearly impossible.

International impact aside. The official strategy of the US government is not to be discussed.

It is unlikely that the Government would agree to such a request. Intervening in a region and sending troops for military operations are authorized by Congress. This kind of big thing is by no means decided casually.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the U.S. government agrees to such conditions...... (Although this possibility is zero.) ）

Even if the withdrawal of troops is agreed.

The withdrawal of troops can never be done in three hours!

Chen Xiaolian groaned slightly, and then made a judgment.

Such conditions are simply smoke bombs thrown by terrorists.

Knowing that it is impossible to do it. Throwing it out is just a bargaining chip.

As for what official announcement of a complete cessation of interference in the situation in the region...... It's even more outrageous.

It is absolutely impossible for a country to make such a foolish play in formulating its policies.

Then there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the later demands for the withdrawal of troops and withdrawal from the area are only used as bargaining chips for negotiations, knowing that the other party cannot agree, they throw it out first, and then put forward the next conditions after the other party refuses, and the conditions thrown out at this time are the core demands that the terrorists really attach importance to!

The second possibility. It's even more terrifying: the negotiation of this condition is itself a smokescreen. Pretending to negotiate terms with the US Government is just to stall for time! Legend has it that during the 911 incident, the terrorists hijacked the plane and negotiated with the authorities and the government, but in fact they did not care about the outcome of the negotiations at all, and their goal was to hit the US mainland after the hijacking and carry out a terrorist attack! The terms of the negotiations do not matter, and the outcome does not matter whether the negotiations are successful or not. It is just to paralyze the vigilance of the authorities and stall for time.

If it's the second possibility. Then this thing is more terrifying.

A group of people with a determination to commit suicide is the most difficult to deal with.

But Chen Xiaolian thought about it...... The U.S. government is not a fool. They've already suffered once.

Chen Xiaolian can think of the above two possibilities, those high-level officials of the US government, those negotiators, and those government think tanks. Of course you can think of it.

......

Before you know it, an hour has passed.

Just an hour later, Chen Xiaolian suddenly heard a roaring sound outside, he turned his head to look out the window, and saw two silver fighters speeding past the plane!

After hovering in the air, it quickly pulled back. Then it landed on both sides of this civil aircraft, as if escorting.

The female terrorist naturally saw the scene outside the window, she sneered, walked directly to the cockpit, and reopened the conversation.

"U.S. warplanes are coming. ”

Zebei Guangnan sat there, closing his eyes and recuperating, but quickly whispered to Chen Xiaolian: "This fighter should be from the nearest US military base in the Pacific Ocean nearby, and it is either Saipan or a fighter stationed at the US military base on Guam. ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded.

He couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart.

He had heard that after the 911 incident, the U.S. government was very sensitive and tough on terrorist attacks.

If the U.S. government thinks that this plane is likely to carry out a suicide attack on its homeland, it is even possible that in order to avoid the recurrence of 911, the U.S. government would rather order the fighter plane to shoot down the civil aircraft than agree to let the hijacked plane enter the airspace of the continental United States!

Because the trade-off between two evils is the weaker. Although the consequences of shooting down a civil aviation are serious, the United States will never be able to afford to repeat 911.

Nima ...... If the US fighter plane was shot down directly, Chen Xiaolian felt that he would be too wronged.

He nervously listened to the voice in front of him.

The female terrorist was already holding a walkie-talkie and saying something out loud in anger.

"If your planes don't leave within ten minutes, I'm going to stop the negotiations and start killing the hostages! Remember, we're negotiating with you in good faith, and if the hostages die because of your excesses, it's your government's own doing!"

Moreover, I warn you! Among the hostages in our hands are people with special status! There are high-ranking officials and special members of your allies on the plane!"

With that, the female terrorist cut off the call.

Chen Xiaolian frowned and glanced at Zebei Guangnan. The old man squinted as if the old god was there.

"Aren't you afraid of being pierced?" Chen Xiaolian drew on the palm of his hand.

I'm not the King of Qin, a Japanese royal family...... He muttered to himself.

Zebei Guangnan smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Unless the negotiators and commanders of the US government are pig brains." Otherwise, they won't have pierced it. Besides, my identity is real, and I'm just fictionalizing your identity. Even if the U.S. government communicates with our government, the information it gets will not be too discreet. Even if there were some deviations, the U.S. government negotiators would not tell the truth to the terrorists. Rest assured. ”

Chen Xiaolian's heart moved slightly.

Fortunately. Ten minutes later, a roaring and whistling sound was heard, and the two fighter planes next to the civil aviation suddenly accelerated forward, and then after a roundabout, they quickly left the civil aviation channel.

Chen Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Don't be too relaxed, it's not necessarily that the U.S. government really gives in. The flight range of such a fighter is fixed. Coming from the nearest US military base, if the flight radius of the fighter exceeds the flight radius of the fighter, they will have to return anyway.

I estimate that after the flight radius of the aircraft stationed at the US military base in Hawaii. They'll still send fighter planes again.

From here all the way across the Pacific Ocean to the mainland of the United States, when encountering this kind of thing, the US military must have sent fighter planes along the way to closely monitor all the way, just like a relay baton, dispatched one station at a time.

Let's put it this way, the U.S. government can afford to shoot down a civilian aircraft once, if it's to defend the homeland from attack, although the international impact will be significant. But at least this argument is barely tenable.

But if it is 911 again, I am afraid that Comrade Ao Guanhai will have to take the blame and resign immediately!

And. If such a consequence occurs, I am afraid that the Democratic Party to which O'Guanhai belongs will not want to win another general election in 20 years! They will absolutely not tolerate such a thing. ”

Aoguanhai?

Does this old Japanese man know this stalk?

As soon as Chen Xiaolian's heart moved, he heard Zebei Guangnan's voice continue to come.

"I don't know exactly what your plan is. But I suggest that if you want to do something, you'd better do it as soon as possible! I think the patience of the U.S. government is limited. They will never tolerate the plane entering the continental United States.

The Hawaii region is their bottom line. My guess is that the U.S. government would have gone to great lengths to get the terrorists to land their planes in Hawaii.

If it overtakes Hawaii and gets close to the mainland of the American continent, it will require the plane to change course, or ...... Before entering the homeland. Shoot down!

So, if you want to do anything, it's better as soon as possible!"

Chen Xiaolian nodded.

......

A few hours later, the plane had already entered the area of the Hawaiian Islands.

There was silence on the plane. The terrorists also looked a little agitated.

The female terrorist's face grew more and more solemn, and she began to walk up and down the aisle restlessly.

In these few hours, the planes of the US military appeared two more times.

The first time, the female terrorist protested with the U.S. government, and the plane retreated.

The second time, the female terrorist turned a strange blind eye, she just looked coldly at the US fighter plane not far from the window, her eyes were cold, and the corners of her mouth even showed a mocking smile.

After that, the female terrorist entered the cockpit again, but this time, she locked the door, and Chen Xiaolian couldn't hear the sound.

After a few moments, the female terrorist walked out, and she took a deep breath.

Then he made a strange gesture to his companion.

The other four terrorists all looked stunned, then straightened up and made the same gesture.

Chen Xiaolian's heart sank!

The female terrorist took a deep breath, but walked over, dragged the captain out, and dragged him into the cockpit.

This time she didn't close the door.

She picked up the walkie-talkie and started talking.

"Now, I'll ask the captain to talk to you!"

As she spoke, she took out a note, which she probably had just written, handed it to the captain, and pointed the gun at the captain's head: "Read it!"

The captain's face was pale, he picked up the note and looked at it, his expression became more and more ugly, he took a deep breath and began to speak.

"I am the captain of the flight and my name is XXXX...... Now that my life is threatened, I relay the other party's request as follows:

First, the fighters next to the plane must leave immediately.

Secondly, the conditions previously proposed, the persons on the previously provided list, must be released.

Thirdly, the refusal to land in Hawaii and the request to land at the West Coast airport, the specific location can be provided by you, is the only concession we have made to show our sincerity.

Fourth, after landing, we are willing to release the women and children on board the plane immediately to show our sincerity.

The above request must be answered immediately, otherwise, after ten minutes, the killing of hostages will begin, and the captain will enter the first place in the sequence of killing hostages.

From now on, our side will cut off communications and resume negotiations in fifteen minutes. ”

At the end of the sentence, the captain took a deep breath and suddenly said loudly, "Please help inform my family and tell them that I love them!"

......
