Chapter 20: The Black Cauldron
Zhu Xiaoqiang's death penalty was avoidable, but his life was inescapable, because he had no passport and was unidentified, and the soldiers escorted him to a religious school that served as a makeshift prison, where many prisoners were already being held, including unidentified foreign fighters.
After a long night, accompanied by gunfire and panic, the rebellion finally subsided at dawn, and the Middle East was short of water, and fresh water was more expensive than oil.
On this night, the blood of the direct killing was flowing, and the greatest losses were made by religious figures, many respected imams were killed by terrorists, and his majesty expressed his condolences and promised to punish the murderers severely.
The army and police took control of the situation in the city of Takikati, but many terrorists still fled the city and hid in the desert area to fight a guerrilla war with the government army......
The situation in Colin has aroused the attention of all countries in the world, and the destroyer of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet appeared in the relevant waters for the first time; what is both unexpected and reasonable is that a frigate of China's ocean-going escort fleet was also quickly deployed to the waters of Colin and, without notifying Colin, directly docked at the dock, and the ship's guns were pointed directly at the shore to provide armed protection for thousands of Chinese workers on the dock.
After the situation returned to normal, the government of the Kingdom of Kolin protested to the Chinese embassy in Kolin, and after receiving security guarantees, the Chinese Navy frigate left the waters of Kolin, but remained anchored in the Persian Gulf.
Said sent a company of 6 Corps to the docks to protect the Chinese-funded enterprises to restore normal order, and made a request to borrow all the cranes.
There is no shortage of cranes on the construction site, the leaders are just strange, what do the Colin authorities want so many cranes for, for the friendship between the two countries, they did not talk much and agreed, dozens of cranes drove to the city, the drivers also opened their eyes for a while, these cranes are used as gallows, the authorities execute criminals, for the sake of deterrence, generally use cranes, this time there are too many people to be executed, the cranes are not enough, and the street lights are not high enough, so they can only borrow the cranes of Chinese-funded enterprises to make cameos.
For a time, the streets of Takikati were full of hanged ghosts, the police and gendarmes escorted the prisoners with a lot of flowers to wait under the crane, one by one to hang, hanging is not better than hanging, not everyone hangs and dies, some die quickly, some die slowly, tossing for a long time before swallowing, the process is quite painful.
Zhu Xiaoqiang is also in the queue waiting for hanging, he was not shot on the spot does not mean that he is fine, he has no passport, he is armed with weapons, proper ISIS armed personnel, and he is even exempted from trial in an emergency, and he is hanged directly.
There were too many people to be hanged that day, Zhu Xiaoqiang was spared death, that night, he and a group of people were escorted to the truck, bumpy for an hour, and finally drove to the destination, the gang of death row prisoners jumped out of the truck, looked around, the sea of sand.
The military police told them to kneel in line and not turn back, and then there was a sound of pulling the bolt of the gun, probably because the authorities thought the hanging was too troublesome, so they should be shot en masse.
But the gunshots never rang out, and the prisoners looked back to see that the military and police had evacuated, and only the tail lights of the trucks were far away.
actually escaped death inexplicably again, Zhu Xiaoqiang lamented that his shit luck was too strong.
……
Xian Hui's body was packed in a rudimentary crate, secretly transported onto a frigate, and temporarily stored in cold storage, along with Luohan and his subordinates, who had received an order to return home.
The frigate anchored in the Persian Gulf for a few days, and the situation in Colin eased, so it sailed away from this place and anchored in Karachi, Pakistan.
The special plane landed at Xiyuan Airport in Beijing, Luo Han got off the plane and was arrested by the soldiers of the General Insurance and Health Department, he did not resist, he died a major general, lost a lieutenant colonel, of course, someone must be responsible, he is the best choice.
The security department set up a task force to investigate the matter thoroughly, Xian Hui's body was handed over for forensic autopsy, and a scene investigation team rushed to Colin, but the scene had been completely destroyed and there was nothing to see.
Luo Han was interrogated for three days and three nights, and all the details of his trip to Colin were recounted, and the case handlers of the special case team stared into his eyes and asked, "Who killed Xian Hui?" You really don't know? ”
"When I went in, the person was already dead, and according to the signs at the scene, he was dead for at least a while, that is, it was not Liu Handong who killed him." Luo Han's mouth was dry, he had repeated this countless times, but the other party was still asking, their meaning was obvious, they wanted to push Xian Hui's death on Liu Handong.
"It is said that you have a very high opinion of Director Xian, thinking that he will destroy the T troops, and you also have a very good opinion of Yao Guang, thinking that he is not worthy of being the political commissar of the T troops?" The adjudicator is a veteran, and he is heart-wrenching.
Luo Han Zhengse said: "T unit is the party's troops, not my personal troops, I will carry out any instructions from my superiors to the letter, what you say is slander and slander against me, I reserve the right to appeal." ”
"Shut up! Director Xian was killed by you and Liu Handong, we have conclusive evidence! The case-handling staff changed color and slammed the table, "The bullet taken out of Director Xian's body is consistent with the trajectory of the rifle held by Liu Handong, this is ironclad evidence!" What else do you have to quibble! ”
Luohan is a special soldier and has been trained in torture to extract confessions, not to mention this low-level inducement of confessions, even torture will not make him succumb, he smiled disdainfully: "Don't come to this set, show me if you have evidence, don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, where is Yao Guangren?" ”
The investigators never mentioned Yao Guang's whereabouts, indicating that they knew where Yao Guang was, and that this person must have been safe, and may even be the framer, because he was at the scene when Xian Hui died.
After being silent for a while, the case officer said: "Yao Guang is next door, he needs to be reviewed just like you, his review is stricter, and one of the two of you is lying." ”
Yao Guang was indeed under scrutiny, but he was treated slightly better than Luohan because his uncle put pressure on our children not to be traitors.
According to Yao Guang's account, Xian Hui was killed by Liu Handong, but he did not know whether Luo Han was involved in the murder, at least there was a suspicion of inaction, because Xian Hui had always had the idea of disbanding T troops, and Luo Han had always regarded T troops as his own private group.
"Director Xian died to cover me." Yao Guang was very gloomy when he said this, he suffered a gunshot wound, a bullet hit the lung, almost killed, according to him, he relied on the support of willpower, snatched a car and drove in the desert for a long time, met at the Kuwaiti border to survive.
This matter is destined to become Rashomon, Luo Han and Yao Guang are both people with backgrounds, one is the nephew of the sick general, and the other is the nephew of the lieutenant general with real power, and although Xian Hui is a major general, his background is not deep, his sacrifice was ordered to be dealt with in a low-key manner by the high-level, and Luo Han and Yao Guang were not punished in any way, but they were subjected to strict screening including polygraphs.
Someone needs to be responsible for Xian Hui's death, and the best candidate is Liu Handong.
……
Colin's turmoil finally came to an end, and the biggest winner was His Majesty the King, a Cambridge graduate with a master's degree in economics, who was not at all like an Arab, but like a scheming British, and the King's office had long been aware of Prince Fahd's conspiracy, not only did not smash it, but instead sat back and watched the riots occur, and only when the situation reached a critical point did the military and police be dispatched to exterminate it in one fell swoop, not only greatly increasing his prestige, but also destroying all opponents of the religious circles.
Said's rule was solid, but he was far-sighted and did not execute all the captured ISIS, but left some of them to be released, which is called raising Kou self-respect in Chinese terms, and there are few terrorists in the territory, and the later drama is not easy to sing.
His Majesty the King visited the U.S. Embassy in Colin to seek political and military support from the U.S. government, and the matter was soon learned by Qin Yingyang.
The premier's diplomatic achievements were about to be ruined, and no one could afford this responsibility, so the diplomatic department and the military both took out the capital to press the bottom of the box, promising to support 100 Chinese-made Golden Dragon buses and the weapons and equipment of a light armored brigade in Colin, on the condition that they would not continue to contact the Americans, and that the attached condition was that Liu Handong should be handed over.
Said Lion opened his mouth and asked for four Airbus 32O to form Collin Airlines, two Chinese-made corvettes and ten J-1O fighters, he asked for a sky-high price, and the Chinese side sat on the ground to pay back, and finally reached a preliminary agreement, at the cost of four Chinese-made ARJ21 regional airliners, a retired O53 frigate and four Thunder Dragon fighters, half sold and half sent, with military training, and reached an agreement.
In return, Said paid $1 million to each of the Chinese workers who died in the riots, and agreed to allow Chinese military ships to dock at Colin Pier.
Liu Handong didn't know about these secret negotiations, although he was the director of the fifth division of the king's office, but he was only a false name, Said never really trusted him, this time the praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch behind the plan, Liu Handong did not participate.
Workers from Chinese-funded enterprises continued to return to the construction site to continue construction, the Ministry of the Interior of Colin sent dozens of police officers to protect the safety of the construction site, and military vehicles also patrolled back and forth, and the situation gradually returned to calm.
The Spring Festival is coming, Liu Handong and others are celebrating the festival in Kelin, and it feels very bad to have a home and not be able to go back, even if the food and wine can't calm this melancholy, everyone hastily passed the New Year and began to discuss the next step.
"Anyway, I have enough money, so it's nice to go to Europe and become a rich man, buy a villa under the Alps, ski and walk the dog." Li Sirui said that he originally wanted to return to China, but after thinking about it again and again, he still stayed, after all, with Dongge, the money will definitely not be bad.
"To the Republic of Korea." Xiao Cui lowered his head and wiped the gun, and said.
"If you want me to say, go to South America to be a drug lord." Fire and thunder's eyes shine brightly, and they yearn for it infinitely. "Mexico is in chaos, killing people and selling drugs all day long, the government can't control it, it's just a paradise."
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, it was the attendant of the king's office, saying that His Majesty had summoned Liu Handong.
Liu Handong did not suspect fraud, drove there, before entering the palace to disarm his weapons, according to the rules he waited in a room for the king to arrive, waited for ten minutes, the king did not come, four Chinese came in, wearing iron-gray shirts and navy blue trousers, shaved heads, extremely fierce.
"Liu Handong, you have been arrested." For one humane.
