【Chapter 397】Hongmen Banquet

"Listen to the people inside! I'm your dad! Your accomplices! Some have already surrendered! Some of them have already been killed by us! Immediately lay down your arms, hand over the hostages, and ask for leniency! Did you hear that! ”

Standing in the way of the support forces was an impregnable metal fortress. The casing is painted with digital camouflage that can deceive satellites. Around the fortress, there is also a hundred-meter-wide moat watered by the sea, in which a large number of sharks swim. The road leading to the fortress was only a detachable road. Now that the road has been divided, the attacking forces can only temporarily surround this place, waiting for a new combat order.

Helicopter gunships also lost their role at this time. Not only did the enemy have anti-aircraft missiles, but the helicopter firepower was also somewhat inadequate against such a large fortress. The fact that such a fortress can be built in secret and that it also has military weapons such as anti-aircraft missiles can be imagined as an organization's influence in political and military circles.

However, everyone has worked so hard to come here, so you can't stare at the other side. In order to find something to do, Ji Haihong used his horn strength to persuade him to surrender.

"Sir, don't make trouble, let me introduce you, this is Lieutenant Colonel Maple Leaf, the commander of the 'Agency' Quick Reaction Force, and this is Colonel Tabra, the commander of the Ground Self-Defense Force." Nick said.

Maple Leaf is definitely a code name, don't look at a lieutenant colonel and a colonel. The real power of this lieutenant colonel of the "Agency" is higher than that of the colonel of the Self-Defense Forces, I don't know how high.

"Hello, Mr. God of War," Maple Leaf saluted, "I have long heard the name of the Gong, and I am honored to meet you today." ”

Colonel Tianbra stood behind Maple Leaf like a little secretary, not daring to speak at all. Ji Haihong saw that this operation must be under the full command of Maple Leaf, and Tian Bu was just a mascot.

Enter the makeshift tent, which is the operational command center. Mori Kogoro and Eikai Hondo were already waiting here, and Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro had just arrived. Their arrival here shows that the armed conflict in the city has completely subsided.

Seeing Ji Haihong, Akai Shuichi immediately said: "The current situation has even attracted the attention of the White House, and the organization is doing no less in Europe and the United States than in Japan, and two Delta troops were urgently sent to assist in the operation, and they are on the way."

Delta Force is the fist force used by the United States to counter terrorist activities that threaten national interests around the world. It makes sense to send them at this time. However, those high-ranking capitalists cannot afford to make a profit. No one can say whether the troops who are sent here to fight terrorism or share the pie will be shared.

No one knows about the fact that the organization has a smaller drug. But it has other technologies that are enough to make many people blush. Mature cloning technology, cancer treatment technology, etc., once in hand, is like sitting on an inexhaustible mountain of gold.

"Oh, yes," Ji Haihong disagreed, "Send them to fish, the sharks in the river, those shark fins are precious." ”

After small talk, everyone immediately focused on the fortress. Maple Leaf spread out the latest reconnaissance information on the briefing board: "On the left is the satellite picture from a year ago, and on the right is the satellite picture that I just got, at that time only a circle of rivers could be seen here, because there was a perfect camouflage camouflage, the satellite found nothing, and now you can see that the defensive force on the outer edge of the fort and the open air area inside have been removed from camouflage, and after calculation, it is about 18 square kilometers." ”

Hondo Yinghai was puzzled: "18 square kilometers? Don't tell me you don't know! ”

Faced with skepticism, Kogoro Mori explained: "The penetration and influence of the organization into the upper class of Japanese society is not something we can imagine, they only need to make a few key people to do this." ”

Ji Haihong said: "Don't worry about this, the 18-square-kilometer fortress is impossible to be completely surrounded by the existing support forces, right?" ”

Maple Leaf said: "That's why I transferred the support of the Guards, the siege network will be completed soon, and how to take this place is the problem." ”

"Anti-aircraft missiles are tricky, making our air power useless, the existing firepower is only small-caliber guns on vehicle-mounted machine guns and infantry fighting vehicles, and to break through the walls, only tanks and heavy artillery can be called, which will take time."

It was getting late, and the enemy situation was unknown. Tonight they could only set up camp and not attack. The number of troops required to defend the eighteen-kilometer fortress was not a small amount, and a rash attack would only result in unnecessary casualties.

Special operations are Ji Haihong's strong point, and he asked: "It's far from the sea, where does the sea water in the moat come from?" The three caves of the cunning rabbit, it is impossible for Daikoku to not even leave a way to retreat, maybe there are other passages to enter. ”

"We are surveying the terrain, it will take time, and it will not be possible to launch an operation tonight."

The sun sets, and the moon and shining stars appear in a thin mist. Under the stars, large troops set up camp and lit fires for cooking. Emergency lights are all over the camp, and it's fun to look at from the riverbank. It is hard to imagine that in modern warfare, as in ancient times, there will be a scene of two armies facing each other.

Many searchlights were turned on on the fort, which defiantly shone towards the camp on the opposite bank. In the face of ridicule, this side was naturally not to be outdone, and turned on the searchlights to pay tribute to the past.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the forward position. Ji Haihong and others, who were patrolling the position, stepped forward to watch, and the soldiers turned their lights on the bottom of the fortress's walls, where three small trucks appeared.

"What are they going to do?" Amuro observes with a telescope.

The truck reverses towards the river and stops as it approaches the river. The man in the cab came out and opened the door and threw pieces of fresh pork into the water. Suddenly, the calm surface of the river boiled. A few more lights flashed and people found themselves feeding the sharks.

Families of sharks scramble for food on the water's surface, revealing bloody maws and eerie fangs. This sight really surprised many soldiers and made their faces look frightened.

Maple Leaf looked at everyone with a cautious expression. They all understood that the enemy was pressuring them in this way, disturbing the faith and courage of these soldiers.

Ji Haihong pushed aside the crowd, walked to the front of the position in full view of everyone, took the machine gun from a soldier, and opened fire on the trucks and fish on the opposite bank. Tracer bullets shuttle across the river and dance in the lights, and are dazzling stars. As soon as the gunshots rang out, the other side also responded with bullets. Gradually, it developed into small-scale local firefights.

Although only with bullets, the two sides only fired at each other, and neither could help the other.

"Well done, Mr. War." Maple Leaf admired the compliment.

This trick of the organization is good and very effective. But Ji Haihong used the sound of gunfire and bullets to divert the attention of the soldiers, making them understand that no matter what, the shark was just a fish. They dare to fight with people with guns and cannons, why should they be afraid of sharks?

……

Otaro never expected him to be surrounded by a large army. He built this fortress in order to master all of Japan in the event of success, so that the fortress would become his headquarters, a symbol of him, and not a giant coffin.

"If Kiel can't be contacted, she may be more than lucky." Belmode reports to Otaro Rentaro.

Daikoku Rentaro was silent for a long time, and he said, "Our friends outside should be running for us, otherwise, if I fail, they will also suffer." ”

"We have two hostages, which is also our bargaining chip, and with the normal state of the Japanese government, they dare not let those civil servants (Self-Defense Forces) die in vain, otherwise the next general election will ......"

After listening to Belmode's analysis, Okoku Rentaro was more sure: "With my influence in high society, the government will send people to negotiate with us, give them a night, and let them know how strong my fortress is." ”

Inside the room, Conan and Ran are oblivious to the situation outside. They are well fed, warmly dressed, and can make other demands within reason.

However, Conan is in a hurry, he doesn't care about himself, he definitely doesn't want to see Xiaolan get involved in this matter. He once proposed to Otaro Rentaro to release Xiaolan, but was refused.

Everyone can see the importance of Xiaolan to Conan. Keeping her can make Conan have more worries and dare not act rashly. This is more effective than adding a platoon of guards outside.

The next day, more information was gathered to the command. The sea water in the moat was pumped directly from the sea by laying underground pipes, which had been blocked and could not be accessed by personnel. Even if they do, so many sharks are not vegetarians.

The water for the fort was drawn from the nearby lake. Now they themselves cut off the water pipeline, probably for fear that the attacking troops would drugged the water source. And inside the fort, it seems that they also have their own water purification facilities, which can recycle water resources.

In terms of electricity and food, the fort is also self-sufficient.

In other words, it is impossible to trap them inside and force them to surrender.

The tanks and heavy artillery have been deployed, but the command of these big guys is not in the hands of Maple Leaf. The order to attack was delayed, and the Funahashi troops had already arrived at the scene, but could not be carried out smoothly under the enemy's fire.

"The influence of the organization in politics is finally starting to be felt, the government is torn and wavering, and our actions may be disrupted." Maple Leaf was very unwilling, so he was about to kick the door, but he didn't expect the enemy to come out from behind.

Ji Haihong said: "Don't expect such a government to do anything, I remember a professor at the Chinese People's University said that in China, a hundred richest people can't control the **** Politburo, in the United States, twenty or thirty richest people can control the White House, so we have to do it ourselves." ”

"But there is no order—"

"Mr. Maple Leaf," Ji Haihong interrupted him, "I didn't expect you to be a person who follows the rules, isn't the 'agency' department set up to prevent this from happening." ”

Maori Kogoro nodded in support: "Maple Leaf, he's right." ”

"But tanks and heavy artillery must be used to siege the city, and I don't have the command of these two troops!"

The elves in the room laughed. Ji Haihong, Akai Shuichi, Amuro Toru, Mori Kogoro and Eikai Hondo all thought of going together: "Then invite them to have a barbecue, there is nothing in the world that can't be solved with one barbecue, if there is, then two." ”
