Chapter 383: Change

There is an indescribable slaughter in the night of Somalia, and the president of Somalia here finally got Boyuan's almost gratuitous assistance to sit in his position, and now someone wants to move his interests cake, undoubtedly he put the grill on the fire, and it is a barbecue of tricks. This kind of barbecue makes him unbearable, but he can't bear it, for no other reason, because it is Boyuan Group that adds fuel to the fire of this fancy barbecue.

Boyuan Group demands the absolute safety of its own employees, so the rest is his business. Although he knew that Boyuan couldn't just send a few mercenaries to demonstrate, he still needed to do what he had to do. Boyuan did not ask them for a freighter, but only asked them to guarantee the safety of the hostages, which was already a headache for Evra, and Huaguo's military exercises were reported by major news media every day. Somalia is a small country, but it doesn't mean that their people don't have political wisdom, for example, what is behind this Chinese military exercise, even if they are stupid, they can guess it.

On an abandoned beach in Somalia, hundreds of militants watched vigilantly, and the dim lights of the camp's dilapidated shanty town were even more dazzling in the night, and Zhou's environment was a testament to the poverty. Johnson and his five brothers came to the perimeter of the camp with the guns their boss had given them, and they had already found out that this was their lair, but the people they wanted were not kept here.

"You two stay here, I think I need to go in and talk to them." Johnson glanced around and said to his brother. At the same time, he motioned for the other three brothers to follow him into the camp.

"Hey, hey, brother, don't be nervous." Johnson walked to the door of the camp, signaling the many black militants at the door not to be nervous, and at the same time raised the gun in his hand, and signaled the other three brothers who followed with him to also raise the gun in sign language, and secretly made a gesture to the brother who was guarding outside: "Can you understand English?" Well, if you don't understand, I hope you can find someone who can understand English, right. Don't be nervous. There are two sniper rifles pointed at your head outside, and if you move it, your head will explode like a watermelon. ā€

"Who are you?"

"Hey, bro. Take it easy. We're not bad people. We are only here on behalf of one force. Johnson looked at the English-speaking black man who came out of it and smiled, while throwing his gun at the man's feet: "Don't be nervous, there are only four of us." Don't let your people be nervous, or it's easy to attract those government forces. ā€

"Relax, man, my name is Johnson and I'm here on behalf of my boss." Johnson smiled: "I think you must be curious about my boss, yes, my boss is the target of your robbery this time, Boyuan Group, and now my boss needs me to talk to you on his behalf." ā€

"Are you from the Boyuan Group?"

"Yes, we are a detachment of the overseas security team under Boyuan Group, and they are all members of our team." Johnson pointed to his teammates and said, "Can I see your heads now?" ā€

"Come with me." The black man thought about it, so he asked people to come forward and confiscate all the guns of Johnson's people, and at the same time send people to the location where Johnson said that there were sniper rifles, and the other two people just threw two ordinary sniper rifles there, and the people had long been hidden in the shadows.

Johnson followed the man into a slightly better shack, and the smell of the house made Johnson's brow furrow. The black man walked up to his boss and spoke, and the man who had been facing away from Johnson turned his face away, and a face appeared that surprised Johnson. A white man, a white man who is very familiar with Johnson, is also a mercenary, but the two of them belong to two different mercenary groups entirely.

"Ben, I didn't expect to see you here."

"I didn't expect that, Johnson, would be alive to see you since we parted ways in Iraq." Ben also said to Johnson with a smile, while motioning for his men to go down, motioning for Johnson to sit down, and pouring Johnson and his brother a glass of wine each.

"yes, we haven't seen each other in eight years since that parting, so I didn't expect to see you here today." Johnson also looked at the person in front of him incredulously, and then shook his head helplessly and said: "However, the bad news is that the current situation is a little complicated, you and I have been hired by different bosses, and it seems that the situation is a little worse." ā€

"Not necessarily, I heard that your mercenary group has been hired by Boyuan Company, but I think my luck is better than yours." Ben said to Johnson with a smile, and at the same time took out something in his pocket and showed it to Johnson, Johnson's face suddenly changed, Ben didn't seem to care about Johnson's expression, but smiled and picked up the wine glass in his hand, signaling Johnson not to be polite.

"My boss asked me to find out what caused you to hijack our ship, but now, I seem to understand something." Johnson smiled and said to Ben, "It's just that I didn't think why they would interfere?" We Boyuan have always been doing legitimate business, are they too long. ā€

"Johnson, you and I have a fateful friendship, so I won't hide this matter from you, you know that our rules should not be asked, and what should not be known must not be known." Ben motioned for the other three to go out first, but instead sat across from Johnson and chatted with Johnson alone.

"I also just arrived here today, and I was also ordered to find the secrets of the two freighters from above, Johnson, the Chinese government can carry out large-scale military exercises for these two freighters, then things must not be so simple, if I guess correctly, there is something on these two freighters that we don't know." Ben didn't seem to be hiding anything from Johnson, and told everything he knew, and Johnson's face changed after listening to Ben's words.

Johnson stared at Ben with sharp eyes, it was precisely because he had a lifelong friendship with Ben that he knew better what Ben was as a person, and he would never do anything that did not benefit him. As soon as we met this time, I told myself everything I knew without any hiding, so there was only one reason. That is, I may not be able to go back. Ben smiled at Johnson, who apparently knew Johnson had guessed his thoughts, but he didn't seem to care.

"You know, our mission is to find things all over the world that can threaten the safety of this planet, and there are things that we can keep even if they don't have zĆ i." Ben said to Johnson with a smile, while shaking the wine glass in his hand: "I can also sue you that the mastermind behind this matter is not us, but just this morning we didn't understand what the Huaguo government and Boyuan Group meant, but just now, the moment you came in, I figured it out." ā€

"Demonstrations never exist in isolation. There must be a secret behind him. The Boyuan group itself hides too many secrets. The Chinese government's large-scale armed demonstration did not even mean to hide, and for this reason it did not hesitate to expose a lot of tactical weapons and equipment, as well as top-notch weapons and equipment. And their strengths and weaknesses. They only came for a purpose. One is to really test their army. Preparing for the coming conflict, there is also the need to divert attention and demonstrate with force. ā€

"I must admit that this Liu Tao is really smart. And it has a lot of ability. Ben smiled at Johnson and said, "You know I thought about it? Thinking of the tactical missile that we disappeared a few years ago, I am afraid that only this missile can make the Chinese government and the Boyuan Group so nervous. ā€

"You don't need to sue me so much, I just want to know who did it, it's that simple, and whether our people are safe." Johnson stood up, relaxed his shoulders and smiled at Ben, observing his surroundings as he knew that if he didn't leave now, he might never be able to leave.

"I don't know, you know we have chess pieces all over the world, and this is just a chess piece, and I just arrived. Of course, if I say I don't know, you may not believe it, but the truth is that I really don't know, and there is one more thing you should be happy about, at the moment we have not found our things on the freighter of Boyuan Group, as for your people, they are absolutely safe now. ā€

"Alright, then don't bother, I think I should leave."

"Don't worry, my brother, I won't embarrass my brother, but we'd better sit down and talk more before something is resolved." Ben smiled and stood in front of Johnson, Johnson smiled and did not object, he knew that if he did not agree, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

"Well, I hope you can entertain my brothers, they are all brothers who were born and died with me." Johnson smiled and walked over to the edge of his chair and sat down, with a relaxed smile on his face, he had received a signal from outside. The two hidden brothers outside have already gotten all the information, and even if they are locked up here, the information will still be sent out.

"Alpha, are you already hiding everything?"

"Of course, trust me, boss, I'm a professional, there's absolutely no way they can find what they need." Alpha said to Liu Tao very confidently, Liu Tao never expected these people to act so fast. Although the purpose of this military exercise by the Chinese government is very strange, but they were able to link the two things together so quickly, and they were really as terrifying as the legend.

The Somali operation continued, Evra was busy every day, he was not able to hand over the employees of Boyuan Group to them within the time he promised, and Xi Yunsong of Boyuan Group did not mean to urge him, which also made him a lot easier. Somali government forces are driven by their generals to attack the rebels on a daily basis, adding to the tension of an already complex situation.

Huaguo's military exercise is already halfway through, and the other side finally sent the condition, 50 million US dollars as a ransom, and at the same time promised not to hold them accountable internationally, otherwise they will be burned. At the same time as receiving the negotiation conditions, Boyuan Group announced the news, and now the entire international community is paying attention to Huaguo's military exercises, and Boyuan's report has also caused a lot of waves.

"Anyway, get the people out first."

This is the news announced by Boyuan, and on the same day, Boyuan remitted two-thirds of the ransom to the other party's designated account, which made the people who paid attention to the news have a good impression of Boyuan by several grades. Liu Tao also knew that this was also the other party's helpless move, and it seemed that a month had passed. The military strength exposed by China's military exercise has forced all countries to re-examine the military strength of the Chinese government and begin to reconsider their relationship with the Chinese government.

China's strong military strength has also shocked the world, especially China's army is known as the world's strongest army, and this military exercise can show that their army really lives up to the title of the world's first army. Whether it is in terms of tactical command, or army movements, as well as cooperation and the bravery of the soldiers, they are far more than those military powers. If it weren't for the fact that their weapons and equipment were still a year behind, I'm afraid they would have replaced the title of world policeman.

Before the military exercise ended, Liu Tao was summoned to the capital by the central government early. The purpose of the exercise has been achieved, at least from the beginning to the halfway point of the exercise. Many neighboring countries are a lot more honest. In particular, several countries that have territorial frictions with the Chinese government have chosen to remain silent at this time, and some countries are also clamoring for military expansion, of course, these are the affairs of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. And now what they are most concerned about is the secret weapon they got from Boyuan.

"Chairman. You can rest assured. Stuff is absolutely safe. ā€

"I can't rest assured even if I want to, they move so fast." No. 1 looked at Liu Tao with some concern, and his tone was slightly heavy. After all, he didn't expect the other party's actions to be so fast, especially the information reported by the Boyuan Group made their mood even more complicated.

"We will reimburse all of your Boyuan's losses this time, as for the quota, we have already thought about it, you can see if you can solve the germs this time." No. 1 took out a copy of the text and handed it to Liu Tao: "This is the text that was urgently sent from the south a few days ago, originally we didn't pay much attention to it, but the situation is getting stricter and stricter, and now many hospitals are overcrowded, plus college students returning to school and starting school in various places, we are very worried about the flu." ā€

"Flu germs? How many people have been infected? ā€

"The specific number has not yet been counted, but judging from the statistics of hospitals in Dongguang Province, more than 200 people have been admitted to the hospital for the same reason, and three cases have died, which is the number reported by other provinces.

"This time the germ is very similar to the Ebola bacterium in Africa last year, and all the vaccines we have now have no way to kill it, and the exercise is not over yet, and we don't want to cause panic." No. 1 took the text in Liu Tao's hand and said to Liu Tao in a solemn tone: "Now the Ministry of Health is thinking of a way, this time two armies from the north have been dispatched to the south for exercises, once infected with this germ, what kind of terrible consequences will it cause I don't need to tell you." ā€

"How so? Wasn't last year's Ebola germ suppressed? Didn't we improve on last year's vaccine and it didn't work? ā€

"No, if there were, I wouldn't have come to you." The prime minister shook his head and walked in from outside and said to Liu Tao: "This germ has evolved, last year's vaccine we actually yĆ n for a while, there is no effect at present, I have a worse news to tell you, that is, this germ is very likely to have evolved, and the speed of transmission is beyond our imagination, just before I came, the latest report I received is that more than 40 cases have been found across the country, and five more cases have died." There is even worse news that there seem to be signs of this cold contagion in our army. ā€

"We know that your pharmaceutical company's R&D ability is very strong, and you know that there is a big gap between the R&D capabilities of our country's pharmaceutical companies and foreign countries, and the only thing that can be compared is your company, so we hope that you can come up with a vaccine in the shortest possible time, and you must not let this germ spread."

"I tried my best, but I need time, and I need all the information about last year's Ebola flu, and all the information about the vaccines." Liu Tao didn't dare to take it all in, just now Alpha had analyzed this virus, and the existing antibiotics on the earth were no longer able to deal with this germ, and if this bacterium was first prevalent in China, it would be even more difficult to suppress.

Although the country has increased its efforts to remediate, it is just like a saying often said by the Chinese government: it is not a big problem to divide by 1.3 billion in a big difficulty, but it is a big problem to multiply 1.3 billion in a small problem. The Chinese themselves have endured the use of antibiotics that exceed the international standard, and the current international standard of antibiotic use has very little effect on the Chinese. If this bacterium is the first to circulate in China, it is difficult to estimate how strong its resistance will be.

It will take another day for the alpha analysis to come out, and it may take a quick time to find a countermeasure, but Liu Tao is absolutely unwilling to find a stronger antibiotic, and then enter the cycle of antibiotic abuse in China. Unnecessary troubles must be avoided, what would be the consequences if Alpha found out that after this super antibiotic had been abused, a few years later, resistant bacteria would emerge? Liu Tao didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"I can get my people to help you in their entirety, but I need to get the vaccine in the shortest possible time, and we don't have time." Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Health also walked in and said to Liu Tao with a solemn face, and also emphasized: "I don't want super antibiotics, we are now discussing the rectification of increasing antibiotic abuse, if we continue to use more effective antibiotics, I really don't dare to think about what antibiotics my children and grandchildren will use if they are sick." ā€

"Minister Zhou, don't worry, I know very well that I only need all the information, and my information will be shared with you, but I don't want any interference in my research."

"I can guarantee that, as long as you can develop a vaccine, I can make full decisions about these things." Minister Zhou also said to Liu Tao with a solemn face, this kind of time is the time to race against time, and the birth of the vaccine must not be delayed for some reason, the horror of the Ebola virus still makes everyone feel cold, and China has a history of the spread of the flu virus several times, no one dares to take it lightly at this time, especially during the critical period of military exercises.

"Okay, I'll do my best to let the people in our company take out samples, do we still have to isolate and control the flu during this time?"

"Yes, all cases have been quarantined now, including cases of infection within the military." Minister Zhou said to Liu Tao with a solemn face, once the matter involves the army, it is not so simple, especially the soldiers of the army participating in this exercise are infected with this germ, which makes Minister Zhou extremely nervous.

"With all due respect, I'm afraid that just isolation will not be effective, we must control the spread of germs, we must prohibit large-scale crowd gatherings, and if we can, suspend the exercise."

"It's not like we've not thought about it, but the suspension of the exercise is too big a thing, and we're thinking about it." No. 1 nodded solemnly: "I hope you can give me an answer within three days, this military exercise is a rare opportunity, and no one can say what will happen when it is suspended." ā€

What is the purpose of this military exercise, everyone present is very clear, but everyone did not expect that things would develop to such a point, and a small germ would bring such a big panic at the top. The military exercise has come to an end, and it is not impossible to terminate it, but the final test results are about to come out, and once it is stopped, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

"Okay, I'll do my best, but Chairman, this cold has once again sounded the alarm for us, and it's time for a strong man to break his wrist and reform."

"I also know that we've been trying, but it's not working well." No. 1 also has a headache about this problem, medical reform has been shouting for a long time, but it has not been effective, this time the germ has once again sounded the alarm bell for them, and now it is time to have to change.

"We don't need stronger antibiotics, we need vaccines, we need to control the misuse of our antibiotics, we need to improve our own immunity, we can't let the bacteria mutate."

"After this military exercise, we plan to shift our focus to medical reform, and we have to change it, even if it is infamy." No. 1 said to everyone very firmly, and his eyes were also very firm. (To be continued......)
