1211 Threatening People's Capital (2)
"Then let's make a rough estimate! At least give us a warning range!" Facing his mother-in-law's men, Hans, who was a little breathless, shouted.
"This ...... The weapons experts at the headquarters only roughly said that if it is a lethal agent, the effective range will not exceed one kilometer, and if it is a disabling agent, the combat distance may reach a range of 3 kilometers, and in case it is some kind of infectious agent, then with the delay of time, the surrounding range of 8-10 kilometers cannot guarantee absolute safety. ”
"10 km ......"
Hans: He is repeating this terrible number, knowing that in a large city with a high population density like Bangalore, there are at least 20-250,000 inhabitants within a 10-kilometer radius, and even if the Indian police force has emptied the residents within 3-4 kilometers of the charity hospital, and then in the two days of fighting, the surrounding area has been scared away by a part, but at the moment there are still 100,000 inhabitants within this 10-kilometer radius, to say the least, if they are all involved, then the problem is ......
"As for the method of disarming this eruption device, the weapons experts are very vague, and if you want to disassemble it harmlessly, you must need the on-site operation of professionals. On the other side of the call, Hans's subordinates, who could not see Hans's expression at the moment, were still explaining.
"On-site operation, where do I go to find a professional?" Hans shouted through gritted teeth, isn't it standing and talking without backache?
"Sir, don't worry too much, because a team of six experts has left Washington, D.C., and they will arrive in Bangalore in 13 hours to assist you in solving this problem. ”
"13 hours is too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to last even 1 hour. ”
"Also, if anything happens before the weapons experts arrive, the only way you can do it is to find this eruption device and use a large amount of liquid nitrogen to freeze the entire device, so you don't have to worry about the biowarfare agent being ejected. ”
“…… Understood, stay in touch at any time!" Hans said in a depressed voice, and he ended the call, and then glanced at the screen of the phone.
Hans guessed correctly, as soon as his men in the Operations Command Center finished reporting to him the situation, the phone at the temporary command post rang again, and then the voice of the commander of the cyan company rang in Hans's ears again: "Mr. Hans, have you figured out what is on the picture?"
"I guess I know!" In this contest, Hans, who was unconsciously at a disadvantage, replied honestly, since he couldn't suppress Pam, it might not be a good way to show weakness, as long as Pam could be arrogant, then the opportunity for Hans might come.
"Oh, let me just make it clear, it's a high-altitude eruption device, specially developed for the use of biological and chemical warfare agents, and there are only a few of them in the world, and it is an experimental weapon that has not yet been popularized. ”
“…… So Mr. Pam, what is your purpose in showing me this picture?"
"Hehe, don't worry about it yet, I'll talk about this after I finish the introduction. ”
“……”
"I'm sure the experts of the multinational joint investigation team will also tell you that as far as the eruption device itself is concerned, there is no lethality, and the real problem is that the biological and chemical warfare agents are added to the eruption device, because the type of addition will be very different in terms of lethality and scope. ”
"Since you've said so much, Mr. Pham, can you tell me directly what kind of ...... you added to the photo?"
"It's a super-high concentration of fluoride!" Before Hans could finish his question, Mr. Pam himself preemptively announced the answer, saying something that Hans had never imagined.
Being on the front line of tracking down the "Shadow" organization, Hans never doubted the degree of virulence of the "Shadow" organization's wrists, so after he knew that the photo was an eruption device, he thought about anthrax, sarin, mustard seeds, Lewis mixture and other lethal biochemical warfare agents, but he never thought about fluoride as the answer, this primary toxic halide.
Perhaps he foresaw Hans's doubts at the moment, so Mr. Pam explained himself: "Generally speaking, fluoride is not too toxic, but this weapon is more terrifying than ordinary biological and chemical warfare agents, and once it is effective, it will definitely be a real disaster." ”
"You...... Why do you say that?"
"Because if this weapon is activated at noon, it can form an atmospheric cavity with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers over the city of Bangalore, and then the absolutely lethal ultraviolet rays and space rays will fall directly to the ground, and a large amount of escaping air will also form a local cavity hypoxia, indiscriminately killing 5 million residents in the city. ”
“……”
"It's fun to imagine! It's useless to hide indoors, they're going to die from coma and radiation, maybe someone hiding underground will get away with their lives, but in this city of five million people, you can guess how many people survived?"
Speaking of the end, the commander of the cyan company, he simply revealed a feeling of victory in his tone, and he was not worried that Hans would not compromise at all.
Poison! It's really poisonous! Kidnapping a city of 5 million inhabitants at once, and then asking Hans to talk to him about it, there is no room for bargaining at all.
"Say it...... What do you want?" was silent for a long time, and then Hans asked very bitterly.
Asking a man who can be called quite successful in his career to say this, Hans can be said to have thoroughly accepted the reality, and accepted that he was at this moment, which was the cruel and humiliating reality that he really had nothing to do with Pam and the enemy.
"It's very simple, I want three buses that are parked at the front of the hospital with a full tank of fuel. "The commander of the cyan company said his request very bluntly.
With the fierce fighting in the previous two days, the commander believed that the Indian side and the joint investigation team had fully understood that his gang was absolutely not easy to provoke, and now with the eruption device in hand, it was equivalent to hijacking the entire city of Bangalore.
"You want to go?" asked Hans knowingly.
"That's right, we've had enough of this nature, so we're going to leave. ”
"It's not that easy, how do I know you're not lying to me with a fake photo, I'm going to see the eruption device with my own eyes to confirm its existence, as for the rest, everything will be discussed until I see the real thing!"
"Hmph, Mr. Hans, I regret to remind you that you want to see the eruption with your own eyes, unless it's the moment it flies into the atmosphere, and whether you believe it or not, that's up to you!
"You...... This matter is too much to do, and I need to get permission from the Indian authorities. After the outburst, the depressed Hans could only respond truthfully, delaying a little longer.
Don't look at the legion, this is obviously trying to run, but after Hans thought about it quickly, he felt that this was not a purely bad thing, if he could use this plan to lure the enemy out of the strong building, then it would be much easier to deal with them, the battle in the past two days was so fierce and cruel, Hans didn't believe how many fighters there were on the other side, and his side couldn't deal with them on the open flat ground.
It's just that the only variable that lures the snake out of the hole is the eruption device, once this problem can be properly handled, then this time the matter will be considered complete, but to think a little more viciously, even if the eruption device is activated in the end, it will not do any substantial harm to Hans's team, and the only suffering and suffering is only the poor people at the bottom of the local area.
"Understandable, so I'll give you another half hour to negotiate and convince the Indians to agree to my request, and then I'll start taking hostages as soon as the time is up, one every minute, until I don't have any more hostages to kill, and then I'll activate the eruption device, click. ”
"Wait......"
Hans wanted to say a few more words to Pamp, but the other party had already hung up the phone very decisively, and there was no room for maneuver, and he kicked this big problem in front of Hans.
He could only start a series of emergency contacts immediately, urging the US Navy SEALs to come as soon as possible, explain to the Indian authorities how serious the situation was, prepare vehicles first, coordinate a super-massive evacuation of residents from Karnataka, and finally go all over the world to find a large amount of liquid nitrogen.
However, the time given by the commander of the cyan company was too short, really, really too short!
It would take up to a week to evacuate a city with 5 million inhabitants in an orderly manner, but judging from the lethal nature of the eruption device, the next day must be the most dangerous time period, and the other side threatens to start killing hostages in half an hour.
Faced with such a situation where not a second can be wasted, Hans is forced to make the most painful choice, and can only quietly pray in his heart, hoping that there will not be too many victims in the charity hospital before he coordinates the cooperation of all parties.
In just half an hour, it must have passed in a blink of an eye, and when the Indian authorities, who had always been slow to act, replied to Hans that they should have a good meeting to consider it, the legion side had already made relevant preparations, they set up a secret line, and then opened a platform on the Internet, ready to broadcast it to the world in real time;
