Chapter 279: Black Eagle Falls Again

Meng Qian, who stayed in Africa for a while, returned to the United Kingdom. As we approach September, a lot of things are back in the way, with Premier League fixtures, new investments, and the success of his daughter. Rite of Worship -- These sons of heaven will unite in September to attend a ball.

In the blink of an eye, Lili is 18 years old, the years of youthful bloom. The girl who used to stick to him has grown into the big girl she is now, and will attend her most important ball so far: at Kensington Palace, where the upper class gathers, nobles, and the royal family.

"Guess who this is?" Wang Manwen took her out of the cloakroom.

The girl changed into a white dress custom-made for the ball, with long hair and a shawl and dazzling jewelry, inheriting her mother's height and temperament that she had exercised since she was a child, and took steady steps with a smile and came to everyone, turning around like a model and attracting attention.

"It's beautiful!" Gong Hui smiled.

"Looks like we'll have to find a prince to be worthy of her." Meng Qian also smiled and looked around her: "You will be the focus." ”

"Thank you." She smiled toothily, and when she saw that Meng Qian didn't move, she was dissatisfied: "Dad, you have to stretch out your hand!" ”

"Got it!" Meng Qian stretched out his hand to hold it for her, and the girl also made a curtsy salute, wearing a dress with a large skirt, which made this action very elegant.

"Your Excellency, Chief!" She stood up, because there would be members of the royal family at that time, so this etiquette needs to be practiced more - Meng Qian said: "Don't bend your knees and squat too low, you are my princess." ”

"Of course." She knew the rules, and although Chief Lazinania didn't have a long history, she could also be a princess according to the Middle Eastern custom.

"Practice again!" But she was still not satisfied, and looked at Meng Qian, his mobile phone rang, and he excused himself: "Go and answer a call." Let your mom - oh no, the queen mother help you! ”

"Haha." Gong Hui smiled and shook her head, "You better let Manwen's mother come, I can't be her serious." ”

Lili looked at Wang Manwen: "Help me!" ”

"No problem, let me be your queen." Wang Manwen is happy, and she has this trait in her personality - especially when she is working.

Meng Qian went to the corridor outside to answer the phone. It's bad news: "Hostage kidnapping? ”

The caller was from the future mayor of the city, who said that Malagash and a group of American tourists were kidnapped by a group of unidentified armed forces while they were traveling in Kenya, and then demanded a ransom of 30 million or the hostages would be shot.

"How many are there?" Meng Qian asked.

"Five people were kidnapped, three U.S. citizens and two national citizens."

"Have you figured out which side it is?"

"The intelligence services presume al-Shabaab in Somalia." Mayor James Lille said.

"Al-Shabaab?" Meng Qian wondered, aren't they extremist organizations? When did extortion begin? It seems that the last merchant ship incident was also the responsibility of Al-Shabaab.

More details, Lille does not know. Meng Qian then called Amanda, the sister of Tiger Stone and a special adviser to the SAR Intelligence Department.

"They don't have money or something else." Amanda also didn't know why, "I received news that the U.S. troops stationed recently are about to prepare to go out to rescue the hostages; But the Americans did not tell us anything more. ”

"American stinking fart." Meng Qian complained, "But they intervened to deal with it, we just need to wait and see the situation, right?" ”

"In principle, yes. We are ready to receive our own citizens. Amanda said.

"Okay."

……

I thought it would be an easy thing to do, after all, the U.S. military -- the most powerful in the world at the moment. It would be more prudent for a military group with rich experience in counter-terrorism to participate.

But what I didn't expect was that the rescue operation failed! No more was revealed on the news, but intelligence received the general truth of the incident.

"The location of the hostages in the hands of the Americans was false, and the local armed forces had anti-aircraft missiles, and the helicopters of the American army were ambushed. Falling outside the city of Mayo, the local terrain is complex and the armed forces are tenacious, and the US military temporarily retreats and reformulates its strategy. ”

"Black Hawk falling again?" Meng Qian was surprised by the news. Americans don't have a long memory?

In the last century, the U.S. military suffered a big loss in Somalia, and this is the second surprise attack, and it actually suffered the end of a helicopter being shot down......

"Anti-aircraft missiles and traps were not expected by the US military." Amanda explained that anti-aircraft missiles are much more powerful than RPGs, heat tracking, high speed, and it is really not easy for transport helicopters to get rid of them.

"What's next?" Meng Qian wanted to know the next step.

"The U.S. military is developing a strategy, but has already lost its hostage position." Amanda said she said she was there to say a few words to someone and her voice came back: "There is a video posted on the Internet that one of the American hostages was shot. ”

Meng Qian also downloaded the video at the same time, and unfolded it through the holographic interface, in which the masked robber talked about the consequences of a bunch of Americans not abiding by the agreement, and shot another American.

The news could not be concealed and quickly spread on the Internet.

The US military failed to rescue the hostages, the plane was shot down, and the hostages were shot dead -- another piece of news that has broken the eyeballs, and the US military, which is experienced in the war on terror, has also suffered?

The news of the "Black Eagle's re-falling" has made headlines in major news sections around the world, spreading in a boiling vehe, and people's accusations of terrorist organizations and the reckless actions of the US military can be seen everywhere.

Because the failure of the U.S. military operation will allow the robbers to hide deeper, and on the other hand, it will also threaten the safety of the hostages - the remaining four hostages.

Already one American was shot, the lives of the remaining hostages were in jeopardy, and even worse, after the rescue of the American military failed, it did not continue in a short time.

Because they are also not quite sure where the hostages are at the moment, the last time the information obtained is fake, and the US military aircraft has been led into the trap of anti-aircraft missiles.

As a branch of al-Qaeda, the world's most brutal terrorist organization, and the mastermind of the frequent bombings in Africa, this is undoubtedly a beautiful achievement in the history of organizational development.

Can IS make Americans so deflated? No! But IS's opponents, al-Shabaab, did it, and they played a lot of tricks!

This time, the U.S. military made a big fuss, and the government was drowned out by the noise of public resentment -- no one noticed that the citizens of Malagasy were also on the side of the victims.

Two of their citizens are still in the hands of the robbers.

The SAR's anti-terrorist operations unit has initiated discussions on the matter and has used artificial intelligence to crack communications – the combat team has decided to negotiate with the terrorists for a ransom.

While the world defaults to not negotiating with terrorists, this is the best chance to get a position.

Artificial intelligence lives up to expectations and deciphers locations in short calls.

"The signal is located in another small town, thirty kilometers north of the city of Simayo." Artificial intelligence makes the location on the map.

The officers of the command informed the heads of government - the two chiefs.

They participated in the discussion meeting through holographic communication, and the current unanimous decision: to save the hostages.

"The fewer people who know about this news, the better, and the Americans don't need to be notified, so they don't have to make any more trouble." Amanda said so.

They agreed, because if successful, it would be an opportunity to showcase the SAR's counter-terrorism forces, the high-tech products of military companies, and the muscles of the country.

The SAR and even Malagasy need to subvert the preconceived notion that Africans can't do it. It's like their tech marvel, a complete makeover.

So they're going to go it alone.

After obtaining the Chief's authorization, Mont Aerospace dispatched a fighter plane to fly over the target city with a reconnaissance robot, and released the reconnaissance robot in a concealed state. They are a swarm of small, fly-like machines that are designed for image transmission.

The local terrain data is transmitted to the high-altitude fighters through the reconnaissance robot, and then transmitted back to the headquarters through the data link, and the artificial intelligence models the terrain, and the three-dimensional projection of the city is immediately displayed in the operation center of the command center, which is clear at a glance.

"The location of the hostages has been determined." Commander Victor pointed to the red marker dot on the hologram, "The scout robot captured the picture. ”

"The three-storey building houses 10 armed men, and the surrounding buildings are dotted with militants with weapons such as assault rifles and rocket launchers."

The large number of armed men and the good firepower are key information.

How to rescue?

After thinking about it, Victor formulated a plan for the attack: "The SAR will dispatch two mechanized special forces, the Navy amphibious ships will cooperate with the operation, and the armed helicopters will cover the breakthrough of the transport helicopters; The army will provide artillery support, and if necessary, amphibious ships can provide armored vehicles! ”
