Chapter 1443: Time is Ticking
On the screen of the video conference, a middle-aged white man could not hide his disappointment, "According to our latest information, one of the hostages in the delegation has been killed. It was confirmed that it was a security guard for the mission, who tried to cover the escape of the others and was shot dead on the spot. His efforts also had no effect. Of the 16 members of the delegation, none escaped. ”
"Have you found out the exact location where they were being held?" asked Lin Rui.
"Not yet, but it should not be far from our slain employee. Because at that time, he just took the opportunity to grab the gun and tried to cover the evacuation of others. This means that the location where they are being held is nearby, and our people are still investigating, and we will keep you updated with any timely information as it is released. German intelligence officials whispered.
The silver wolf thought for a moment and said, "What about the situation with the Syrian Self-Defense Forces?"
"It has been established that they are an offshoot of an extremist group in Syria with a tendency to extreme violence. There is evidence that they are related to foreigners who have disappeared in Syria in the last year and a half. It's not just for foreigners, it's not just for locals.
Syrian government forces have linked the group to a bloody massacre outside Latakia two months ago. As a result of this operation, a squad of Syrian soldiers and a village of civilians were almost all killed. Judging by this incident, their number should be around 200 or 300.
It is well-armed, with automatic weapons and anti-tank rocket launchers, and it is reported that it may also have some individual missiles. The German intelligence officer nodded, "That's all we have at the moment, and the authenticity of some of the information cannot be confirmed at present." ”
"Almost, there can never be accurate and unmistakable intelligence on the battlefield. Lin Rui nodded and said, "What kind of support will we get from you in this operation?"
"I'm sorry, we can't give you any other support. Because we chose to hire you because we had to keep enough distance from this matter. And I'm sure you can. The German official shook his head regretfully.
"Well, I've heard, if the rescue doesn't go well. Do you have any other backup plans?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, those hostages are very important, if the rescue does not go well, we can try to negotiate with the other side, of course we cannot come forward, it is up to your people to help complete this negotiation. But remember that everything is for the safety of the hostages.
And once the hostages are safe, we need you to get rid of these kidnappers or extremist forces. Whoever they are, since they have been involved in this matter, they must be completely eliminated. This is our request. The German provincial official said in a deep voice.
"Well, none of that is a problem. We will rescue the hostages. Lin Rui nodded.
"One more thing, this matter must not be made public, and it must be resolved quickly. Because those abducted are international celebrities, once the extremists learn their identity, they may use this to make a big splash or double down on their extortion. None of this is what we want to see. The German looked at the silver wolf and said.
"I understand that we have dealt with similar issues and there have been good precedents. The silver wolf nodded, "But first of all, I need to make sure that the armed men don't know the identity of the hostages yet?"
"They didn't know that the delegation had just arrived in Syria and had not yet launched an investigation into the conflict zone in Syria when it was kidnapped. Their vehicles were flown with German flags, but there was nothing on them to confirm their identity. And for this trip to Syria, they also received temporary training. I also know how to deal with this situation. "Another German humane.
"This temporary tactic doesn't last long, and under intense pressure, they are likely to reveal their identities. As soon as the extremists find out that they are involved in Germany's refugee policy, they will not hesitate to use them to demonstrate against the Germans. Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, that's the last thing we want to see. If we do get to that point, it will be our complete failure. Everything we're doing now is meaningless. Not only that, but it will also greatly stimulate resistance to refugees in Germany.
If Germany is forced to stop accepting or even expelling these refugees, there will be many more war-torn and homeless refugees who will not be able to be properly resettled. Not only Germany, but many more countries will refuse to accept these refugees. The German shook his head and said, "This will create more follow-up problems." ”
"Okay, we get it. Silver Wolf nodded, "Our men will rescue your people within the allotted time." But you also know that our prices are always higher than those of other companies. ”
"We understand that high quality leads to high price. This is the credo of our German manufacturing industry and the reason why German industrial products are based on the world. The German nodded, "We'll sign the contract at your price." But remember, don't mess things up. ”
"We also have our pride, once the contract is made, it will be higher than life. The silver wolf looked at them. "It was a pleasure to work with. ”
After turning off the communication monitor, Lin Rui shook his head and said, "These Germans are really serious enough, no matter what they do, they are all at once." Even having a simple video conference is so formal. ”
"That's why they're so powerful, perseverance and seriousness, which is part of the blood of a nation. Sometimes, we really need to learn from the German spirit. Silver Wolf smiled and said, "But they are still very good, they are generous, they negotiate the price, and they never bargain." ”
"Still, I'm a little worried. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"Worried about the newcomers to your team? It's okay, everything has a first time. Besides, none of them are new, they are all people who have killed people and seen blood. Silver Wolf smiled and patted him, "Don't worry." ”
"I'm not worried about them. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I'm worried about those hostages, will they not be able to withstand the pressure and admit their identities to those extremist forces?"
"Probably not, they know the seriousness of this, and they have done precautionary exercises beforehand to know how to deal with this kind of emergency. The silver wolf whispered, "However, if there is really a problem in this regard. We're going to have a hard time. Because once they admit their identity, or if the extremists understand it, then we have too little time to act. ”
