Chapter 500: Buying the hearts of the people
The rescue operation ended quickly, and under the blows of the mecha team, none of the more than 400 pirates escaped the net. www.biquge.info In fact, using a mecha team to deal with these pirates is a bit too trivial. Even if they change to the most elite special forces in the United States, in the hands of the mecha team, they have no power to resist.
Of course, cleaning up these pirates didn't give Lu Yang any sense of accomplishment, but they were relieved that there were no hostage casualties during the operation. And this also drew a successful end to this rescue operation.
"Don't panic, everyone, we are the Penglai Island mecha team, and all the pirates have been eliminated!" Lu Yang asked Feng Hai to come forward to appease the hostages.
Many people hugged each other and cried bitterly at this time, especially the dozen or so women, this experience really scared them.
In just two hours, these people have undergone a transformation from death to life, who can stand ordinary people?
"Brother Hai, the danger has been lifted for the time being, I have already notified the nearby Huaxia Navy, and they will arrive in an hour or so. I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to Penglai Island first! ”
After Lu Yang informed Feng Hai through the mecha communication system, the Xingtian mecha rose into the sky and left the Yuanwang, and those mecha fans on the ship watched Lu Yang disappear into the sky, their faces full of regret.
"Commander Feng, what kind of mecha did you just leave? Can your mechs fly? Someone ran to ask Feng Hai.
In this regard, Feng Hai just said coldly: "Military secrets!" ”
After solving the hostage crisis, Lu Yang began to find out the reason behind it, and from the information he has now, this pirate operation is not simple. Three warships and more than 400 heavily armed pirates, which is not common in Somalia, and their goal seems to be clear: to keep an eye on the Far Look. They demanded such a high ransom that they clearly knew that the ship belonged to Penglai Island.
In the capital of China, the prime minister knew that the rescue operation was successfully completed, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. This time, more than 200 Chinese people were abducted, and if something went wrong, the impact would be extraordinary. At the same time, the premier also made up his mind to strengthen China's military presence in the Indian Ocean and intensify its crackdown on piracy. As a superpower, Huaxia was threatened by Somali pirates, which is also too slap in the face.
After this incident, the prime minister became even more greedy for the technology of Penglai Island. Although he didn't know the details of the rescue, just by looking at the time, he knew how powerful Penglai Island was. From the beginning of his phone call with Lu Yang, it took only 40 minutes to receive the news that the rescue was successful, and when he called, the prime minister confirmed that Lu Yang was on Penglai Island.
Penglai Island is more than 10,000 kilometers away from the accident site, but the rescue force of Penglai Island can complete the rescue mission within 40 minutes, what is the speed?
Throughout the ages, speed has been one of the winning factors in wars, and if the Chinese army has the strike speed of Penglai Island, even if there are no military bases all over the world like the United States, no country dares to be an enemy of Huaxia, right? Running 10,000 kilometers in an hour to behead, moving like lightning and thunder, who is not afraid of this kind of power?
"It's a pity that the domestic mecha research is still far behind, and the mecha manufactured has no actual combat ability, it seems that if you want to form Huaxia's own mecha team, you still have to start with Penglai Island......" The prime minister thought to himself.
In the Somali coastal city of Hobio, the leader of the United Front, Evin, is in his office to meet a white Westerner. Evin was black and fierce, and his reputation in Somalia was as good as a child's crying at night. But in front of the white man, Evan looked a little restrained.
"Evan, your actions are too inefficient, and people haven't come back for so long......" said the white man as he sipped his coffee elegantly and shook his head.
Evan hurriedly said: "Mr. Smith, the men I sent this time are my most elite troops, they will go out, there will be no problem, please wait a little longer." ”
Smith snorted lightly: "It's better to be like this, if you can't even do this little thing, then what's the use of us raising you for more than ten years?" ”
"Yes, yes......" Evan lowered his head, a fierce glint in his eyes. A sneer tugged at Smith's lips, as if he knew what Evan was thinking.
"Chief, Buddy, they seem to have an accident!" The office door was gently pushed open, and Ewen's henchman, Cuman, walked in and whispered in his ear.
"Something's wrong?" Evan's face changed slightly.
"What's going on?" Smith apparently heard it too.
Cuman looked at Evan, who said, "Say it quickly! Cuman then spoke.
"I've just contacted Buddy, but there's been no response, so I've sent someone to pick it up. But at Buddy's pace, it should be back soon......"
"You mean, they've lost touch?" Smith stood up.
"Yes." Cuman lowered his head,
"How long has it been?"
"During this operation, we contacted Buddy every ten minutes, and it has been fifteen minutes since the last contact." Cuman said.
"It's okay, it's only fifteen minutes, it's possible that Buddy was negligent, Cuman, you hurry up and contact them." Evan said.
Smith did have a gloomy face: "I think something is likely to happen to your men, Evan, you can be sure of this matter right away!" ”
On Penglai Island, the media of various countries surrounded the city government. Now, the whole world knows that a ship on Penglai Island has been hijacked by Somali pirates, who have posted a high-profile video recording on the Internet, along with a statement that they want $200 million.
Everyone paid attention to Penglai Island's reaction, everyone knew that Lu Yang was a very tough person, and the outside world analyzed that he was unlikely to accept the pirates' blackmail, and according to the pirates' video, if Lu Yang did not accept their conditions, the other party would kill people. In fact, there are already two people dead in the video, the two people that Lu Yang saw on the ship and died because of resisting pirates.
"Mayor Yu, may I ask if it is true that the pirates kidnapped the ships and citizens of Penglai Island?"
"Mayor Yu, how are you going to respond to the pirates' requests?"
"Mayor Yu, may I ask if Mr. Lu Yang already knows about this matter? What is he going to do with it? ”
……
As soon as Yu Hao arrived under the government building, those reporters were like sharks smelling blood, surrounding Yu Hao from all directions. Yu Hao was not in the mood to accept the other party's interview at this time, just half an hour ago, Lu Yang and Feng Hai set off together, and now, Yu Hao was still worried about whether their action was successful.
Just when Yu Hao was asked by these reporters and had a headache, he received a message from Lu Yang: The rescue was successful, and there were no casualties! Yu Hao was overjoyed when he saw it, the haze in his heart dissipated, and his attitude towards reporters became positive.
"Yes, we did receive news that a ship on Penglai Island was kidnapped by pirates, and in addition, more than 200 Chinese citizens on board were kidnapped by pirates, for this kind of behavior, Penglai Island condemns it in the strongest terms, and at the same time, we will do everything we can to ensure the safety of the hostages!"
"Penglai Island will not pay ransom to pirates, because it is fueling crime, we have the ability to rescue hostages, and fight the enemy!"
"Mr. Lu Yang already knows about this and has personally formulated a rescue plan, I think it won't be long before you hear the news of the successful rescue!"
……
Yu Hao did not announce the news of the successful rescue, and he felt that it was not yet time. If it is announced, it is a bit too incredible. At the moment, the whole Penglai Island is paying attention to this news, and Yu Hao feels that the final result is more appropriate for Lu Yang to come back and be announced by him personally.
Space One sent the mecha team to the accident area and then returned, and Lu Yang drove the Xingtian mecha back to Penglai Island. Although the whole world now knows that Penglai Island has mecha that can fly, and the United States has also used dozens of spy satellites to monitor Penglai Island, wanting to take photos of flying mechas, no one can find the Xingtian mecha flying rapidly in the air. Xingtian mecha can not only achieve light stealth, but also energy stealth, and no monitoring system can detect it.
Feng Hai and the others protected the Yuanwang until the arrival of the Huaxia Navy. For them, Lu Yang is not worried, the 21 War Tiger mechs are equipped with electromagnetic weapons, energy weapons, at sea, the power of these 21 mecha is definitely not inferior to an aircraft carrier formation.
When Lu Yang arrived home, Zhu Xiaotong anxiously asked him about pirates.
"Husband, how are you going to solve the matter of the pirate kidnapping, if not, just pay the ransom, those people are outlaws, and there are hostages in their hands, we must not take risks...... Zhu Xiaotong said.
Lu Yang waved his hand: "Actually, you don't have to worry about these at all, because the matter has been resolved!" ”
"Solved?" Zhu Xiaotong was surprised, she had just learned about this matter, "Did those pirates release them?" ”
"It's almost ......" Lu Yang didn't want to tell his family about those bloody things.
"Then we have to inform their families quickly, they don't know how anxious they are now! You don't know, a relative of an employee in Happy Valley was on the Yuanwang, and after hearing the news, the employee fainted on the spot...... "Zhu Xiaotong said.
"You reminded me!" Lu Yang didn't think of this just now, he immediately contacted Yu Hao and asked him to announce the news.
"Boss, it's better for you to announce this news." Yu Hao suggested.
Lu Yang immediately understood that Yu Hao wanted him to buy the hearts of the people. It's not appropriate to say that you buy people's hearts, but that's what it means. Although Penglai Island is Luyang's private island, it is not a feudal society after all, and people have a strong sense of freedom and equality, and they will not regard Luyang as their master for this reason. If you want to maintain the prestige of the Lu family on Penglai Island, you still have to rely on real things.
"Okay, I'll announce it." Lu Yang agreed with Yu Hao's opinion, and then immediately contacted Penglai TV Station and temporarily switched the signal. (To be continued.) )
