I thought it was the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch behind, but I didn't expect that the real target of this trap was the yellow finch. At this moment, Li Muye and Diana all understood that what they wanted was not more than 300 children, but the children of powerful people like Karping.

Politicians probably won't compromise with other people's children for the sake of these people, but what if it's their own children?

Li Muye and others were taken by the militants to a helicopter. The other party was a twenty-man operation team, led by a short man with a fierce appearance and angry eyes, who had been staring at Karl and others since he got on the plane.

"General Evgeny has ordered me to greet you on his behalf. The man took out a metal flask from his bosom, took a long sip of wine, and said a little proudly: "Hey, bitches, do you understand? You have been captured by the warriors of the great General Evgeny, and then you must pray to God that your filthy and vicious elders will accept our terms, otherwise, you will suffer!"

Karpin pouted, stubborn: "your Yevgeny, your South Chechnya!"

With a bang, the short man retracted the butt of his gun, stared at Karpin, who was smashed to the ground with blood from the corner of his lips, and said coldly: "Fool, if you dare to say a word that insults General Evgeny, you will be asked to see God immediately!"

Karpin was not convinced, and wanted to say something more.

Li Muye said in a deep voice: "Don't say it again!"

A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and it is more stupid to reason with a steel gun with his mouth than to play the piano to a cow.

The short man looked at Li Muye with a cruel smile and said, "Russian son-in-law, mysterious Chinese tycoon, the mastermind behind the killing of the Charmov brothers, General Yevgeny is very interested in you, the bread king. ”

Diana suddenly asked, "How did you get through air traffic control?"

"It's a very professional question. The short man looked over and said, "We are honored to be able to confuse the beautiful and intelligent Flower of the Intelligence Bureau." ”

Diana said, "Don't be too complacent, it's not as easy as you think to transport us back by helicopter. ”

The short man smiled, "It's not as complicated as you think, Miss Diana, you are a surprise to us from this operation." His eyes flashed with a smug smile and an ambiguous glint as he roamed Diana vigorously.

At this moment, Li Muye suddenly wanted to punch this bastard. Of course, it's just a matter of thinking. In the current situation, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and I can only suffer losses if I come to do it. But this 'wife's enmity' is settled, and sooner or later there will be a chance to take revenge back.

From his gaze, Li Muye felt an unsettling meaning, and suddenly began to worry: With Diana's professionalism, if this bastard has anything to think about, will this girl think that this is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and then give the plan to Lao Tzu to wear a green hat?

"Hey, you just said that General Evgeny is interested in me?"

"It's an interest in your bread. The short man was successfully pulled away by Li Muye. Turning his head, he said: "It's spring, and even General Yevgeny can't count on hundreds of thousands of hungry people to feed 18,000 military brothers. After saying that, he turned his face to Diana and looked at him with bad intentions.

In recent years, reports of Chechen militants have been uninterrupted, and although the Russian army has almost controlled the Chechen region in 2,000 years, local violent clashes have continued. Under the cover of the local Muslim minority, these militants have waged guerrilla warfare, and under the pressure of the international community, the Russian army has no way to attack those civilians, and it cannot cut off the foundation of the survival of the Chechen Republican Army. The so-called republican army, led by Evgeny, has been resisting stubbornly.

Although the spring famine is sad, although you can't use force against civilians, it doesn't mean that you can't use any means. If force cannot solve the problem, sanctions will be imposed by economic means. Cutting off water and electricity supplies, preventing agriculture-related products from entering the region, and replacing war with harsh winters and hunger to achieve strategic goals are the main measures taken by the federal government today.

These bastards, it doesn't hurt how many Lao Tzu starved to death, but if this guy wants to cuckold Lao Tzu for their belly, it won't be wonderful. Li Muye stared at his every move, watching this bastard stretch out his claws to Diana, and hurriedly said: "Stop, she is my wife, if you dare to touch her, I promise that I would rather die than let you get a piece of bread!"

The short man may not really mean to touch Diana, so when he heard this, he immediately withdrew his hand, turned to Li Muye, squatted down, pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it on Li Muye's eyelids, and said with a cruel smile: "Whether you touch her or not depends on whether you are willing to cooperate well." ”

The knife pressed against the eyelids, which can be described as a real imminent sense of oppression. Li Muye tried his best to keep calm and said, "Even if you dig out my eyes, you can't fill your stomach!"

The short man shook his dagger and said, "It seems that Mr. Li has understood our intention to invite you." ”

Li Muye said: "As long as you don't do anything wrong, everything is negotiable." ”

The dwarf man laughed rampantly and triumphantly, and waved his hand to order all the captives to be covered with hoods.

Li Muye felt that his eyes were dark, and his arm suddenly went numb, and then he lost consciousness.

••••••

"I think you're awake. A deep voice said in his ear, and Li Muye felt his shoulders sink, and it was the speaker's hand pressed there. I have a splitting headache, and I don't know what expired fake medicine this group of bastards used for Brother Ono. As he was thinking to himself, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his left arm, and the coldness hit, and he regained consciousness in an instant.

A deep voice said, "I've given you some muffel, which can help you regain your senses quickly." ”

"Who are you?" Li Muye barely opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man with rough skin and an ordinary face, wearing a green sweater. At least from the outside, it doesn't look like a great character.

Andrei Evgeny Aliselovsky. The middle-aged man introduced himself: "It seems that you are sober, and we can have a good talk next." ”

This mediocre-looking old guy was Yevgeny, who had been a headache for His Excellency the Federal President for many years, and then a little disappointed, for this famous figure looked like an ordinary peasant in the southern mountains, and when he came to talk, he tasted no different from those stinky drunkards on the side of the road. It's too ordinary, perhaps, it's because of this ordinariness that he has escaped the pursuit of the federal government again and again, right?

"I asked to see my wife and my brothers, and to see that they were safe. Li Muye sat up straight and resolutely: "Otherwise, everything will not be discussed!"

"Yes!" "Yes," Evgeny agreed, "rest assured, at least until you agree to our terms, your wife will not be in any way." ”

"What is this place?"

"My office. Evgeny said: "We have limited conditions here, and we are not as prosperous as Moscow. ”

Li Muye looked around, the walls were like wilds, the furnishings were simple, there was only a bed and a chair, the fireplace was burning with a roaring flame, and there was a small table next to him with half an unfinished dry bread. This old fellow has a bit of a proletarian revolutionary demeanor. However, when he thought of the things that his subordinates did in elementary school, and then thought of the short man's obscene eyes when he looked at Diana, Li Muye felt that this old bastard was not a good bird.

"Would you like to eat something?" said Evgeny, "we have a shortage of food here, and we have hares and rats for meat, and only brown bread for food." ”

"I want to see my wife. Li Muye is still thinking about Diana, although this tiger girl is ruthless and unrighteous, and she is determined to help Timov snatch food from Brother Ye's bowl to eat, but Brother Xiao Ye is not the person with a small belly, after all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, I don't know how many days since they got married, according to this statement, the degree of affection is deeper than the Mariana Trench.

"Don't worry, she's fine, but as an elite worker in the federal government, she's very different from you, you can have the opportunity to be our friend, but she can't." ”

Li Muye said: "If I don't see her safe, I won't eat a mouthful of food, let alone talk to you about any conditions." ”

Yevgeny said: "Don't get me wrong, you can meet, but I won't give her the same treatment as you." ”

Li Muye stood up and asked, "Where is she?" Take me to meet her!" After speaking, he shook his body and sat down again, only then did he suddenly realize that they had not tied himself.

Evgeny said: "She is locked up on the other side of the cave, and the others are also there, when you are fully recovered, you can go and see them yourself." ”

"Why do you treat me preferentially?"

"Besides because you are useful, but also because of Vasily, do you remember the young man who was released by you?"

"Vasily?" Li Muye remembered the Chechen man who let go of Lao Cui's house that night. Suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is helping me speak." ”

"He was the one who made us think that you would be a partner who could help. "You see, our conditions here are very difficult, the federal government is deliberately restricting the economic development of our region in order to target us, and the people here live in poverty. ”

"So that's why you kidnap and kill children?" Li Muye said angrily.

Evgeny said: "In the past three years, the survival rate of our birth in this area has been less than 30 percent, and I need to consider the problem of 70 percent, we are indeed unscrupulous, even cruel, but that does not mean that we are really as inhumane as the government army says." ”

It can't be said that his words are unreasonable, but Li Muye can't agree with his statement. The status quo in the region is not caused by the people, and confrontation is not just a unilateral act of the Federation. For reasons of political security, the RSFSR will not accept the existence of an independent republic with a pro-Western regime at the southern gateway under any circumstances.

Li Muye himself doesn't care much about politics, but the circle of contact is almost closely related to politics, and some homework will be exposed even if he doesn't do it.

"The problem is that I think you have no hope of winning, and after thirteen years of disintegration, those regions that are more prominent in terms of politics or resources, and deserve the full support of the Western democratic world, have achieved full independence, and you have long since been abandoned here. Li Muye said.

Evgeny sighed and said, "Even if there is no hope ahead, is it possible to turn back to the other side?" His tone was a little empty, full of helplessness: "We have gone too far on the wrong route, we have no strength to turn back, I have to do something for the people who have helped us." ”

"As far as I know, Mr. President has always valued you, and the Federation is not the only one who has trouble with you now, if you are willing to turn back, you should be treated well. Li Muye said at the risk of angering him.

Yevgeny didn't get angry, he was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "It's impossible, the government has paid a huge price over the years, the dead and injured on both sides need an explanation, and someone must bear the consequences, either me or someone else." ”

"I haven't heard the bell on Red Square for almost forty years. He sighed again and said, "When I was younger, I lived there for a long time, and I thought that the Red Soviet Union would last forever, and I firmly believed that we could dye the whole world in one color, but now, I suddenly realize that no regime is eternal, and I don't think I will ever have the opportunity to go back and sit there near the sun in the Modern restaurant and enjoy vodka and caviar." ”

There is no turning back, and there is no hope for the future.

This is a sober and desperate madman.

Li Muye felt that his limbs were already free to move, stood up and said, "General Yevgeny, before I start to negotiate the conditions, I want to confirm the safety of my wife and the others. ”

Evgeny stepped aside and opened the door, saying, "Please take care of yourself." ”

Li Muye was still a little hesitant: "Don't you need to send someone to supervise me?"

"There's no need for that. "But if you need guidance, Vasily will be happy to help you." ”

Li Muye thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then let him come over." ”

When I came out of the house where Evgeny lived, I was greeted by the scene of a small mountain village. Stone houses are arranged irregularly on every part of the valley on land suitable for building houses. Wild grasses grow everywhere, and winding roads dot the land, creating a completely idyllic scene in South Russia.

Vasily appeared on the path, came straight to Li Muye, and said, "Sir, General Yevgeny said that you need me to guide you?"

Li Muye noticed that he was wearing a peasant's clothes, and he looked like an honest peasant, completely different from the rude soldier.

"It seems that this is the real you. Li Muye said: "Comparatively speaking, I prefer the hoe in your hand." ”

"It's a pity that the hoe doesn't bring us dignity and faith," Vasily said. ”

Li Muye said: "At least you can let your wife and children get food, clothing and safety." ”

Vasily's eyes flashed with gloom, and he didn't want to continue the topic, and said, "I'll take you to the cave cell to meet the others." ”
