While Du Le was focusing on the improvement of Longteng's structure, the kidnapping incident on the island nation's side continued to escalate.

The day after the kidnapping, a video suddenly appeared on the Internet. The video shows several masked men with guns pointing guns at hostages kneeling on the ground in three rows.

Then, a man with a beard covering his face and wearing sunglasses appeared on the video screen. I saw him holding a blank piece of paper, walked in front of these hostages, and then faced the camera, and said solemnly: "On behalf of the people of the island country who love life and love the motherland, I would like to make a declaration to the whole world: Sharif, the current president of the island country, is actually a despicable and shameless politician without any moral bottom line. In order to ascend to the presidency, Sharif even did not hesitate to set up a trap to frame the former president and cause him to step down. Sharif is the illegitimate president!

In order for the world to recognize his face, we have to take extreme measures in the hope that the international community will draw attention.

These hostages, all of whom are tourists who support the Sharif government, we have tried to persuade them, but they do not listen to them.

Therefore, we decided that unless Sharif stepped down and paid $1 million to each hostage.

Otherwise, these hostages will never be able to return home."

The man in sunglasses finished reading the declaration, and then asked the hostages to introduce himself one after another.

The whole video lasted about 10 minutes, but this only ten minutes caused great repercussions in the whole world like a time bomb. The identity of the hostages and the announcement of the robbers also completely detonated the attention and speculation of the people of the whole world about the island country.

The presidential palace of the island nation, Sharif and his temporary staff. We watched the video together.

Sharif's face became more and more ugly, and he wanted to wipe out the video completely. Regardless of whether this man in sunglasses is talking nonsense or not, this video has been circulated, and it has already made people in the whole world have opinions about the island country and himself. Maybe his presidency will be over.

"What is the most effective way to minimize the impact?" Charif looked at the way his staff shook their heads, and couldn't help but feel angry. At this critical moment, Sharif found that he didn't have a real henchman around him who could completely relieve his worries, thinking of the performance of his son-in-law Qin Xiang, it seemed that there was something that didn't matter to him, and he left a sentence of appropriate help yesterday. There was no other action.

After Sharif became president. I feel that my social status has improved dramatically.

However, Sharif felt that Qin Xiang had changed since he returned from abroad. The most obvious thing is that he treats his father-in-law with a sense of distance. Not as respectful as it used to be.

Of course. Sharif wasn't resentful of Qin Xiang. Instead, he felt a little isolated at this time, and he hoped that Qin Xiang should accompany him even if he had no way. Always give him tips to tide over the difficulties. A son-in-law and half a son, that's what it means.

"We should hold a press conference and make our statement to set the record straight!" One of the aides stood up and said, "This government is completely democratically elected. These pirates say this to divert the attention of the world, to tarnish our name, and to alleviate their guilt. ”

"I think their purpose is for money, so we will pay them the ransom as soon as possible, and then slowly investigate in the future to find out these gangsters." Another staff member said.

"Will paying the ransom solve the problem entirely? Their fundamental purpose is to remove me, the president, from power! Sharif was furious at the rambling of the staff who did not get to the point.

"We can contact them to negotiate!"

"But we don't know where they are, and we can't contact them."

Several staff members also panicked for a moment when they saw Sharif's sudden anger, and immediately expressed some miscellaneous opinions.

Some said that the video of the pirates setting fire to the coastal hotel was partially released at the press conference, arousing the sympathy of the international community;

Some people said that the broadcast of all the police stations of the island countries will let the whole world know the development of the situation in the Dao Dao and let the people of the world know that the justice of the Dao is directed towards the Sharif government.

Others said that the image of the president holding a serious meeting and studying it was also played, which proved that the president was not inactive, but was working very hard to do things effectively.

Regardless of what these people said, Sharif felt even more irritated when he heard it. Because they don't see the core of the problem clearly, the suggestions they make are completely unable to effectively pull out the troubles in his head. Even if they had already told them the true purpose of the gangsters, they didn't listen to it at all.

In fact, the advisaries of this group of temporary recruits are professors at the only university in the island country or scholars from the Institute of Policy Studies, but Sharif is not at all satisfied with the methods they have come up with. If it weren't for the fact that he urgently needed a think tank to help him resolve this crisis, he would have wanted to dismiss them all at once!

In fact, the gangsters' actions and what they said in the video were heard by Sharif, and the most fundamental purpose of these gangsters was to get Sharif to step down. Therefore, he must suppress this vicious intention in a timely and effective manner in order to save his situation.

However, the methods offered by these people all have one thing in common: an immediate press conference to respond to the statements of the kidnappers.

Sharif sighed, he was originally just the head of a small island, and being able to become the president of an island nation was already quite beyond his ability. Many times the problems that need to be dealt with by him are obviously difficult for him to say, but they do make him a little helpless.

But now, even he can see that no matter how many press conferences they make, one more video of the gangsters can disgrace the entire Sharif government. Even, as long as Sharif made a promise at the press conference, he may be broken by the gangsters, thus making Sharif immediately a liar, which will not only make the people question Sharif's ability to govern, but also make the whole world lose confidence in the island government.

In this way, not to mention that he wants to have an investor like Du Le to develop the island country in the future, because in the next second, he will have to face the fate of being pulled to take responsibility and forced to step down immediately in order to resolve the crisis.

So, if there is no better way to do it, a press conference must be held. Sharif will not attend the press conference.

Sharif believes that regardless of whether the kidnapping case involves nationals or foreigners, since it is a criminal case that occurred on the territory of the island nation, it should fall under the jurisdiction of the island country's police. The only person who attended the press conference was the chief of police of the island country's police department.

Therefore, even if the police minister of the island country comes out at a press conference, it only needs the police minister to be fully responsible.

The devastated police chief of the island nation did not know that he had become a target that Sharif was ready to push to the forefront.

Although the people of Du Le are far away in China, they also pay attention to the news of the island country from time to time. But it took many days. Du Le didn't wait for any information from Qin Xiang.

Du Le was thinking. Whether Qin Xiang can really solve this matter independently, whether he cares or not, is it chaotic. Thinking of this, Du Le thought about buying satellites again.

After the last kidnapping case of Qin Xiang, Du Le has always had Sharif's phone number.

Since Qin Xiang didn't want to rely on him. Or what are the ideas. Du Le simply didn't bother Qin Xiang. Let's take a moment to see what he does.

Sharif had just made his decision at the meeting when he received a call from an unknown phone number. After a moment's hesitation, Sharif picked up his phone.

Voices from your phone. Sharif didn't react for a while, but after a few seconds, he was suddenly surprised and delighted! Sharif hurriedly greeted excitedly and said, "Hello, sir! ”

The staff and staff of the presidential office in the conference room watched in amazement as Sharif suddenly became respectful, and secretly guessed who the call came from, which could make the president, who was thunderous one second, change his appearance the next second.

Suddenly, Sharif's eyes changed. I saw him hold down the phone and say to the people in the conference room, "You all go out first." ”

When the conference room was emptied, Sharif turned into his phone and slowly talked about the progress of the kidnapping case in the island nation.

Du Le did not expect that the government of the island country would be under so much pressure now. If it is not properly resolved, it may affect Sharif's presidency.

What puzzled Du Le the most was that Qin Xiang's performance in the incident seemed to be a little too indifferent. This alone made Du Le feel very dissatisfied.

It is important to know that the reason why Du Le agreed to let top technology support Sharif to come to power is so that the island government and top technology can stand aside, so that top technology can develop in a relatively stable environment.

"I know about you. I will always keep an eye on the development of events, and you don't have to worry too much about the pressure from other countries. As long as you can get the people in the country and get the people to support you, it's fine. Du Le said.

When Sharif heard this, he felt like he had taken a big reassuring pill, and his heart was reassured. Ever since he learned that Dole was behind the top technology, he had great confidence in Doole.

"There's one thing I want you to do."

"What's the matter?"

"I want you to buy me two communications satellites." Dule said.

"Buying communications satellites?" Sharif asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it doesn't matter which country you're buying from, I want you to be able to buy it as quickly as possible. I'll give you a budget of $300 million. Except for the money to pay for the satellite, the rest of the money is your hard work. Dule replied.

Sharif exclaimed, "Three hundred million?! ”

No wonder Sharif was surprised, it was the first time he had heard of such a large amount. You must know that the annual fiscal revenue of the island countries is less than 10 million US dollars.

"How much does a satellite cost?" Sharif couldn't help but ask.

Du Le told Sharif the information he had inquired about: "An ordinary communication satellite is about $100 million, and some countries are even less than $80 million. My request, though, is to arrive as soon as possible. So, you go through the government of the island country and increase the purchase price to see if you can buy a spot satellite. ”

"It's good. I'll send someone to contact you as soon as possible, and I'll let you know as soon as I do. Any other requirements? Sharif asked.

Du Le thought about it, and according to the reminder of Zhi Brain, he additionally instructed Charif to buy some additional parts as accessories to improve the satellite.

While Sharif and Dule were on the phone, governments in the world began to respond to the kidnapping of the island nation.

The prime minister of country R took the lead in making a statement, believing that the current government of the island country was unpopular and was the culprit who led to the kidnapping case.

Spokesperson for the White House in Country M. The government of the island country is required to handle the kidnapping case prudently and protect the citizens of country M.

The rest of the countries have also issued warnings to their citizens not to travel to the island nation until the situation is stable.

Garry Island, one of the annexes of the main island of the island nation, is the second largest island of the island nation, with a population of about 10,000.

Gary Island, a police officer, was hiding in the police station at this time, making phone calls in a panic.

Boom! There was a loud bang. shattered the glass window of the police station.

Pirates are attacking the island of Gary!

Two ships of the Coast Guard of the island nation. After getting the news, I rushed over immediately.

The police on the island of Gary witnessed two of their gunboats sinking in the waters off the island of Gary under the shelling of a warship with a larger hull. Subsequently. The invading enemy is gone.

After Sharif got the news. There was a panic in my heart.

Know the way. The island nation has always been a small country, so it has never developed a navy. The largest warship in the possession of the city, the main maritime force is a dozen gunboats. The rest are mostly armed patrol boats. He had never heard of a group of pirates who had such a large "warship". If it weren't for hearing the reports of his subordinates, Sharif would have even thought that some country was trying to invade the island nation.

The shelling of Garry Island resulted in 12 deaths and 8 serious injuries in the island nation. Suddenly, the situation in the island nation was suddenly tense.

The spokesman for the president of country M once again stressed that he asked the citizens of country M who are currently in the island country to leave the island country, and revealed that if the government of the island country cannot save the citizens of country M, the government of country M will send a navy to rescue its own citizens in person.

As a sovereign state, the government of the island country naturally disagreed, and immediately issued a statement stating that the island country refused to allow any country's troops to enter their territory.

However, country M did not care about the remarks of the island nation. A certain fleet of the navy of country M, which is stationed at a certain base in the Pacific Ocean and is closest to the island country, continued to sail toward the island country after receiving the order.

At this time, the kidnapping incident of the island country has become more and more complicated.

No one can stop the action of country M, because the position of the island country is not a critical position. Under normal circumstances, no country will speak for an island nation.

However, there is one company that has attracted the attention of the world, and that is the top technology companies.

China and Russia quickly addressed the United Nations, stressing that country M cannot arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and that all actions must be carried out within the framework of the United Nations.

In particular, at the United Nations General Assembly, China supported the statement of the representative of the island country to the United Nations that there should be no compromise with criminals.

The so-called rebels are actually a group of pirate groups with "powerful" force, who do all kinds of evil, burn, kill and loot, and dare not show their faces.

Not only that, but it also countered that no country would compromise with pirates.

Representatives of country M immediately questioned the ability of the island governments to resolve the incident, arguing that they should intervene and that they should be responsible for resolving their people.

It has to be said that it is obviously not easy for island countries to seek support from the United Nations.

Sharif couldn't stand Qin Xiang's inaction anymore and immediately went to Qin Xiang.

"Father-in-law, why are you here?" Qin Xiang sat in the president's office of top technology, and said when he saw Sharif pushing the door in.

"What's the matter, it's getting so serious, why don't you care at all." Sharif asked.

"I didn't pay attention to it! It's just that I'm not an official in the government of an island country, I'm just the president of a company, and I'm responsible for the company. Qin Xiang stood up and said loudly.

Sharif's face changed more and more ugly, and he said, "Do you think there is no relationship between us?" Without my support, would you be able to sit so comfortably as president? ”

When Qin Xiang heard this, his face also changed, and he said, "Don't think that you are the president, I should listen to you." You have to figure it out, it's me who spends money to help you build momentum and help you open the way! ”

After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he sat back in his chair, and inadvertently, he saw a document on the table again. Qin Xiang suddenly caught fire and swept all the things on the table to the ground.

Seeing Qin Xiang's sudden madness, Sharif was a little puzzled, and quickly closed the door of the office.

"What's wrong?" Sharif asked in a soothing voice.

Qin Xiang had no way to explain, and he didn't know what kind of mentality he had. Because he discovered something very important that made him doubt something. The report on the table just now is none other than the investigative report on Du Le. In the conclusion of the investigation report, Du Le was just a very ordinary person.

However, this alone was enough to make Qin Xiang's awe dissipate.

Although there are some things that Qin Xiang can't get an answer to, Qin Xiang can be sure that Du Le is an ordinary person like him.

It is undeniable that the human heart is subject to change. A small person can easily surrender to a strong man. However, when a person grows strong enough, he will not be willing to submit to those who are less capable than him.

If Qin Xiang had a little disagreement and transferred the money in the company's account in the name of company trade, there would be no way to recover it.

"It's fine." Qin Xiang took a deep breath and said. Anyway, Sharif was his father-in-law.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Qin Xiang said as he tidied up the documents that he had just swept away to calm down.

The head of the finance department, when he saw Sharif at the door, hurriedly asked, "Hello, Your Excellency the President." ”

Sharif nodded, signaling that he had heard.

Qin Xiang said impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"The company's account suddenly disappeared $500 million, and I want to confirm if the president has any other plans?"

When Qin Xiang heard this, he was stunned: "What's the matter? Hurry up and check it out! ”

"I don't think so." Sharif said, "I probably know where the money went." (To be continued.) )
