Chapter 1929: Members are trapped
The masked armed men on the side looked at Marklovsky and whispered a few words to him??? Then the militant nodded, waved his hand to all the hostages present, and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. We are now in talks with the South African side. Please give me the live footage. ”
The cameraman on the side could only turn the camera to him. The masked militant said to the camera, "We are the Great Orumi Free Liberation Organization. At present, the International Conference Center has been occupied by us, and more than 200 journalists from various countries have become our hostages. If the South African police remove the surrounding police force and road blockades, we will release some of the hostages. Otherwise, we will shoot five hostages every ten minutes. ”
The threatening video quickly caught the attention of the South African police, who demanded direct conversation with the leader of the militants.
The militants agreed, again the masked militants, who did not relax on his terms and demanded that the South African side provide helicopters from the roof of the International Conference Centre for their evacuation.
"Sorry sir, even if we evacuate now, it will take time, and we won't be able to evacuate all of them in ten minutes. "On the other end of the line was a senior officer of the South African Police Force.
"It doesn't matter, it's your problem, we'll do our own thing. You are responsible for whether to evacuate the military and police, and I am responsible for whether to shoot hostages. I understand that you have a lot of troops, so you can evacuate slowly. But be assured, I have a lot of hostages here, and killing a few of them is not a big deal. Excuse me this videographer, please point the camera at everyone, thank you for your cooperation. The black-clad masked man said waving the weapon in his hand.
The cameraman had no choice but to do so, and the camera swept over the frightened faces. There are more than 200 journalists from various countries, and if these people are shot dead on the spot and broadcast live, it will definitely be a shocking case. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure on the South African police.
Ten minutes passed, and without hesitation, the terrorists posing as the Secret Society opened fire on the spot, killing five hostages. Under intense pressure, the South African police finally relented and began to withdraw the military police from the perimeter, including the lifting of some road blockades.
Lin Rui sat in the crowd and whispered to the general beside him, "Actuary, what do you think the secret society means?"
"They are trying to escalate the attack and point the finger at a non-existent Orumi Free Liberation Group. Trying to portray those who oppose the Orumi Federation as terrorists. Pave the way for their next step to reconvene and form a federal government. This alliance of independent warlords, which no one is optimistic about, has been shaped into a banner of anti-terrorism. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"I think that's just one of them, and the other reason is that they're coming at us. Lin Rui looked at the militants in the distance and said in a low voice.
"I feel it, too. It is likely that our identities have been revealed. Yelena whispered beside him, "What now?"
"Don't act rashly yet, let's see how it goes. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Even if we have been exposed, the strategist Marklovsky is not targeting us. He wanted Aladdin, otherwise he wouldn't have had to come up with so many tricks. All he had to do was raise his hand, and we'd all be dead by now. ”
"I understand that he is trying to lure Aladdin into showing up by trying to capture us alive and then take us away. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"I'm afraid it's worse. It is possible that he already knew that Aladdin was on the island of St. Kaiser. So he wanted to force Michelle the Silver Wolf to attack Aladdin by capturing us. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "This is even more troublesome." ”
"Don't talk, don't talk to each other!" shouted a black-clad militant at gunpoint. This made Lin Rui silent. But he knew very well that the identities of himself and the others had been exposed, and falling into the hands of the Secret Society's armed forces would only be more uncomfortable than death. You have to find a way to get out.
However, the problem now is that he and the rest of the team are all unarmed. How to escape from this group of heavily armed Secret Society members is a big question.
Just when Lin Rui was nervous, Marklovsky also looked at them coldly from a distance. In his mind, these O2 team members have now become turtles in the urn, and maybe they don't know that they have been completely controlled by themselves. Now it is just a matter of waiting for a suitable opportunity to evacuate with these captives.
"Sir, news has come from our people. The South African military and police have begun to withdraw from the perimeter, and several neighbourhoods on the periphery have lifted the blockade. It's just that they haven't let up on the matter of letting them provide helicopters. The leader of the militants, dressed in black and masked, whispered in Maklovsky's ear, "Should we continue to shoot hostages and put pressure on them?"
Blindly putting pressure on them can create a false impression. Let them think that we are unreasonable, that we cannot communicate. In this case, they will storm it. Maklovsky shook his head and said, "No one would be willing to negotiate terms with a bunch of out-of-control psychopaths." So what we need to do now is not only not to harm the hostages, but to deal with them and release some of the hostages. ”
"Release some of the hostages?" the masked militant hesitated, "wouldn't that be too cowardly?"
"No, it will only give the South African police a sigh of relief and make them think that they are right to check the negotiations and not take a strong attack. Maklovsky replied, "It will also make them think that we are at least trustworthy." That way when we put pressure again, they will be able to compromise. The way of negotiation is to be relaxed, and blindly being tough to the end is the most unwise approach. ”
"Okay, I see. The militant whispered, "I'll go and arrange for the release of a few hostages right away." ”
Maklovsky nodded, and continued, "Be careful, the few people over there had better stay still. Keep an eye on them, don't give them a chance. These people are the O2 special team of the Black Island Company, and they are all very tricky goods. Once the helicopters from the South African side arrived, it was an opportunity to evacuate. We're going to have to put them all on the plane. ”
"Sir, but why don't we get rid of them?" the masked man's eyes flashed.
"Do you think we can escape in this way? With these so-called hostages, the South African side will not dare to attack the helicopters. And they are of great use to me. Marklovsky sneered slowly.
