Hearing the ringing of the mobile phone, seeing that it was a local unfamiliar number, Wang Xudong sneered in his heart, this must be Nasser or his subordinates.

Wang Xudong pressed the call button without hesitation, and an unfamiliar voice came from inside, speaking in English with coldness.

"You're Wang Xudong, right?"

Wang Xudong said: "Yes, it's me, who are you?"

The other party said: "You don't care who I am, your Daewoo 027 freighter is now in our hands, including the 31 crew members on board." ”

Wang Xudong said: "What do you want?"

At this time, Wang Xudong knew that the other party must be ready to start asking for ransom, but he didn't know how much, 20 million, 30 million, or 50 million?

Without thinking about it, the other lion opened his mouth, "Your cargo ship and crew are in our hands, and there are tens of millions of dollars worth of construction machinery and mining equipment on the cargo ship, these things plus 31 crew members, a total of 200 million US dollars." ”

200 million US dollars, I really dare to speak!

Wang Xudong said categorically: "Impossible, this is too much." ”

Wang Xudong never planned to pay this ransom, just to be realistic and not to arouse the suspicion of the other party, he pretended to be very angry and immediately refused.

If Wang Xudong doesn't think about it, he agrees immediately, which will make the other party suspicious. Wang Xudong is like this now, and the other party obviously has no suspicion.

They may not have dreamed that they think they are doing a very secret job, controlling the big freighter to go around in a big circle at sea, no one will know the whereabouts of the big freighter, where do they know, Wang Xudong knows the whereabouts of the big freighter well.

The large freighter has been under the watchful eye of Miner 1, and now the large freighter is heading towards the coast, and it looks like it will be docked in a few hours.

Wang Xudong originally thought that these pirates would control a large cargo ship to find a place to anchor and anchor in a certain sea area that deviated from the channel, but he didn't think about it, and it was estimated that they would stop at a relatively hidden place on the coast.

These pirates thought they were clever enough, no one knew the whereabouts of the big freighter, where did they know, Wang Xudong knew the location of the big freighter clearly.

Seeing that Wang Xudong refused the ransom of 200 million US dollars, the other party became unusually cold and warned: "There is no room for bargaining, we will kill a hostage for less than one dollar." ”

Wang Xudong sighed, pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay, it's only 200 million US dollars, but you must ensure the safety of these 31 crew members." ”

"There is no problem with this, we just need money, and as soon as the money arrives, we will release the people immediately, you can rest assured. ”

Rest assured, these pirates are notorious for often taking hostages for ransom, but the 31 crew members should be safe until they get the ransom.

The other party said: "Prepare cash, remember, we only need cash, I will give you two hours, when the cash is ready, we will contact you." ”

Wang Xudong hurriedly said: "This is 200 million US dollars, not 20,000 US dollars, so much cash is not ready in two hours, it will take at least two days, two hours is impossible." ”

What we have to do now is to delay the time, and the longer the time is delayed, the better, if it is really only two hours, even if Wang Xudong knows the docking location of the large cargo ship, it will be too late to carry out rescue operations.

Yes, rescue!

As long as the large freighter docks and stops, Wang Xudong will send someone to the rescue, and Gale will personally lead the person there.

The other party also knew that it was basically impossible to prepare $200 million in cash in two hours, and proposing two hours was just an attitude that Wang Xudong could not be delayed for too long in terms of time.

After some "bargaining", the time was finally set at 6 hours, in fact, even Wang Xudong had to prepare 200 million US dollars in cash within 6 hours, which was very difficult.

If it is better at home, this cash can be mobilized from the major banks, but this is in the Middle East, and it is difficult to mobilize such a large sum of money.

The other party seems to be determined not to delay the time for too long, for them, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to have problems, and they are eager to get the money as soon as possible.

6 hours is 6 hours, I hope it will be in time.

After answering the call, Wang Xudong sighed softly helplessly, in Wang Xudong's opinion, 6 hours is indeed a little less, and the bottom line in his heart is 10 hours, or even longer, I didn't think that this Nassell is very cunning.

The person who spoke to Wang Xudong just now was definitely not Nasser himself, he should be one of his subordinates, but when he was on the phone, Nasser must have been next to him.

6 hours, which should mean Nasser.

Wang Xudong knew that the time was urgent, so he called Gale again to prepare for action, and also made a call to Mustafa.

Mustafa came very quickly, and he has been paying attention to this matter, after all, this is a big matter, and he does not dare to slack off.

"Chairman Wang, do you need any help?"

Wang Xudong nodded, "Just now, Nasser called, demanding a ransom of 200 million US dollars, asking us to be ready within 6 hours, and after 6 hours, they will contact us again." ”

What, a ransom of two hundred million dollars!

Such a large sum of money greatly exceeded Mustafa's expectations, he originally thought that it was only two or three million dollars, such a large ransom, should set a record.

"These damn pirates. ”

After hearing such a large ransom, Mustafa felt angry in his heart, "Chairman Wang, what are you going to do?"

Wang Xudong sneered: "If you want my ransom, they are dreaming." ”

Mustafa was shocked and reminded: "But there are 31 crew members in their hands, I mean pay for them first, and then ransom these crew members." ”

Wang Xudong said: "Mr. Mustafa, do you think that after these pirates get the money, they will release these 31 crew members?"

This, this......

Mustafa was silent, and he could not guarantee that the pirates would release them after receiving the money, and it was not uncommon for pirates to kill hostages after receiving money.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Wang Xudong said: "This is the reason why I called you over, on the one hand, of course I will tell the bank to hurry up and raise this cash." ”

It was a must, and Nasser would certainly have sent someone to keep an eye on the major local banks, and if they didn't move, he would be suspicious.

It would be too bad if Nasser became suspicious and killed some of the crew to warn Wang Xudong. Therefore, first of all, to paralyze Nasser, we need to make a fake show, and let the banks go all out to raise this cash and create a false appearance.

Mustafa obviously understood this, and nodded, "And what else, what do you need our help to do?"

Wang Xudong said: "Of course, to carry out the rescue of these 31 crew members, I will send some people, and you will also send an elite team, everyone will act together to rescue all these crew members tonight." ”

Rescue the crew!

Mustafa looked at Wang Xudong several times in disbelief, and wanted to ask Wang Xudong several times, because he knew that this was as difficult as the sky, even if he sent an elite team, it was basically impossible to succeed, because you didn't know where the cargo ship was.

What if you search the world for the traces of this freighter and alert Nasser, who kills several crew members to warn him?

Wang Xudong said: "Mr. Mustafa, this freighter is under our surveillance, I know its specific location, what you have to do is to quickly send an elite team, the number of people is not too many, about 10 people is appropriate, but it must be well-equipped and first-class in combat effectiveness." ”

This is no problem, it is just an elite squad, Mustafa himself can call the shots, and immediately agreed: "I will call our military immediately, and this elite squad will be dispatched immediately." ”

Wang Xudong said: "This elite team will quickly go to Dragon Island and make peace with Gail, and we will have a joint operation between the two sides to rescue all these hostages tonight." ”

Mustafa nodded, and he made a phone call in front of Wang Xudong to arrange the matter.

Wang Xudong looked at the time, it was already dark outside, and success or failure was here.

……..

On Dragon Island.

Gail was fully prepared, having worked as a mercenary in the Middle East, and this kind of action did not make Gail feel the slightest nervousness, on the contrary, he was slightly excited in his heart.

He checked his weapons and equipment again, looked at his two dozen subordinates, and nodded with satisfaction.

These two dozen subordinates were all personally selected by him, well-equipped, and very experienced in combat, either as mercenaries or as special forces.

All advanced weapons and equipment are basically armed to the teeth, and two "Black Hawk" helicopters are also ready to take off at any time.

Now Gail is waiting for Wang Xudong's order, as long as Wang Xudong gives an order, he will act immediately. Not long after, Wang Xudong's phone also called.

In the phone call, he informed Gale that an elite team would come over and cooperate with him, and also told Gale the specific location of the large freighter, as well as the location map of the freighter, the structure of the large freighter, and even the specific location of the 31 crew members who were held on the freighter.

After receiving these things, Gail was reassured that the situation was so clear that he was absolutely sure that he would rescue all of them.

Gayle's 20 or so subordinates were divided into several combat groups, and with a wave of his hand, Gale called these team leaders over, showed everyone the structure of the large cargo ship, the location of the crew holdings, and also made a clear division of labor and arrangements.

At this time, Gale heard the sound of a helicopter, a helicopter flew in, landed not far away, and jumped out of the plane a soldier, fully armed, with oil paint on his face, knew at a glance that this was a special forces, the elite of the elite.

………..

The first one is sent!
