Chapter 1373: The Age of Live Broadcasting
After Lin Rui took something out of that person's body, he straightened up casually and picked up the east ** in his hand.
"What is it?" said Lee Young-so in a low voice.
"Shhhh Lin Rui made a silent gesture to him, and secretly showed him the thing in his hand, which was a bunch of keys. It looks like it's a car key, but there's a tiny nail clipper hanging from the keychain.
"This ......," Lee Yong-so frowned.
Lin Rui gently moved his wrist and gently cut the nylon handcuffs tied to his wrist with a nail clipper. These nylon handcuffs are very strong, and it is difficult to break them with great force, but they can be easily cut by a knife. Lin Rui used a small nail clipper to cut a few cuts along the edge of the nylon handcuffs. In this way, as long as he exerts force, he will break along this opening.
It's a bit like the unsealing on a typical plastic bag. It is difficult to tear hard, but it is easy to tear the bag along the notch with little force, and the principle is similar.
Lee Yong-so whispered, "Didn't you say that you won't act for the time being?"
"Things have changed, and they've noticed me. This shows that they were well prepared before. I even got a list of people who attended the meeting. It's not going to end so easily. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "This is a US military base, and soon the US and South Korean militaries will respond quickly and surround here." And once these kidnappers feel threatened, they will use the hostage massacre to warn each other. A little person like me would be their first target. I don't want to be the target of their murderous power. β
"Damn it. Lee Yong-so's face changed slightly, "These people look like outlaws." β
"Not only outlaws, but they probably don't even intend to live. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Do you see those big guys in the back? Either they are too fat, or they are wearing a thick padded jacket under their clothes." Of course, wearing a padded jacket in this weather is not a brain disease. Then there is only one explanation left - they strapped bombs to their bodies. β
"Damn, it's still a suicide attack?" Lee Yong-so's face turned ugly. This joint conference room of the US military is indeed very large and magnificent, but no matter how large the room is, it is also a closed room, and once it explodes here, it is almost impossible for anyone to be spared. Moreover, terrorists are accustomed to mixing a large number of steel balls and iron pieces in the ** to increase the lethality.
These masked guys are equivalent to several extra-large fragmentation grenades. Once detonated, the scene can only be described as tragic.
The leader of the men in black had arrived at the conference table, sitting precariously, and with the exception of the black hood on his head, he looked like a general presiding over a military meeting. "Are you ready?" said the man in black, looking at his men.
"Ready, ready to go. "The guy had set up the camera and connected the video feed to the mobile computer. The signal will be transmitted directly to the Internet and made available to the world.
The leader of the men in black coughed and began to read something out in English. It's nothing more than clichΓ©s that have taken control of the hostages and demanded negotiations. But Lin Rui keenly noticed that in fact, their request for negotiation was simply a pretense, and they did not want to negotiate. They are just here to find trouble, and they don't really want to use these high-ranking military officials to blackmail the Americans.
"It's serious. Lee Yong-so said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"They didn't have the sincerity to negotiate and didn't even put forward specific demands for negotiations. It is just a fake condemnation of the United States and South Korea for setting up the THAAD anti-missile system. This shows that they actually have another purpose. Lee Yong-so said in a low voice, "Our situation may not be good. β
Lin Rui nodded, "When they send such a video, they are striving for a kind of initiative." So that the Americans did not dare to come hard. This is because they have already announced their acceptance of negotiations, and if the Americans want to come hard, the consequences will have to be borne unilaterally by the Americans. And this is precisely what the Americans do not want to bear.
Even if they killed a few soldiers, it would cause an uproar in the country. Not to mention a dozen general-level officers. In addition, the US military, which claims to be invincible in the world, was actually occupied by a special operations team. In one fell swoop, more than a dozen high-ranking officers were captured, and in themselves they were slapping Americans in the face. I guess the Pentagon must be messed up by now. β
Lin Rui's guess was not wrong, the Pentagon was indeed in a panic. This is no joke. More than a dozen officers of the rank of colonel were captured by terrorists. The incident happened at the US military base, and these lawless terrorists actually released a video at the headquarters of Osan Air Base, demanding a dialogue with the US and South Korean authorities.
"This is simply a provocation, this is a despicable sneak attack and a provocation!" a senior officer knocked on the table, "gentlemen, this will be a great shame enough to be recorded in the history of the American military." We must not fall for them. We must resolutely reject such rude demands, and the United States will never negotiate with terrorists!"
"Calm down, now the whole world knows about it. Those videos have gone viral on the internet. And the terrorists have not yet made specific demands. It would be very unwise for us to take strong measures at this time. These men were able to infiltrate our base without them knowing it, kidnapping the entire command center.
This shows that they are very difficult to deal with. It is highly likely that strong measures will lead to a large number of casualties. At that time, everyone will question our handling of the situation, and the use of force will lead to the death and injury of more than a dozen senior military officers when there is a possibility of a peaceful settlement, which will lead to the resignation of ministers and even affect the general election. Another U.S. general frowned.
"So what are we going to do? "To be honest, I still can't believe it. β
"It's hard to believe, but I'm afraid it's happened and it's going to be very bad. Gentlemen, this emergency meeting must end early. Because Mr. Minister asked us to rush to South Korea as soon as possible. So we didn't have time and could only continue the conversation on the plane. And we have to continue to keep an immediate focus on this matter. β
An American general got up and pushed his chair away and sighed, "Damn, it's been an unbelievable day." β
This is the era of online live broadcasting, and this incident has been fueled by online transmission, causing a series of sensational effects. The live broadcast of terrorists capturing senior US military officials as hostages is much more exciting than ordinary news for many people. It was reported by major news outlets around the world. The periphery of Osan Air Base was full of reporters who flocked to grab the first news. This thing is really making a big fuss.
