Chapter 44 (I) The Crazy Rescuer Before the Killing
Tang Shuxing and the others boarded the helicopter under the leadership of Zhan Tianya, and then went to Antananarivo Airport, the capital of Madagascar, from where they flew directly to Bangkok on a plane that had been waiting for a long time. At the same time, Hawk and Tom, who had returned to the U.S. aircraft carrier, had already been brought back to the U.S. mainland and placed under house arrest in a safe house in Miami on the East Coast.
They weren't being held by the C.I.A., not the FBI, or any other U.S. national security agency with the power to arrest them, but a bunch of guys who didn't even know where Hawke came from, dressed casually, even in floral shirts, like tourists on the beach, but who didn't smile and wouldn't say a word to them.
When they arrived, there was no one to talk to, no one else in their detention, nothing to communicate with the outside world, but there was a huge television with live footage from a remote beach.
Hawke sat down in front of the TV and asked Tom, who was sitting in the corner, "Do you know what the Tao is and what they want us to know where it is?" β
Tom shook his head numbly, and Hawke smiled: "Because this place is very close to Guantanamo, theoretically very close, and you can go around the sea and then go around the corner, so close that you can smell the cigar smell of Havana in Cuba on the other side." β
As he spoke, Hawke pointed to the TV and said, "They use the real-time footage of the camera to remind us of the time, to remind us that on the other side of the sea is where we will stay for the rest of our lives, Guantanamo purgatory." β
"And then?" Tom finally asked.
"No, then, the chances of killing us or imprisoning us are half and half likely." Tom sneered. "This is retribution, right? I've done this to some people in the past, and many of them have been locked up and interrogated without actual evidence, and ended up in Guantanamo. β
"In other words, we are dead." Tom whispered, "Perhaps, you should really seek political asylum as Tang Shuxing said." β
"The world is about to perish, what's the use of political refuge." As Hawke spoke, he heard the door open, and then saw a man wearing a face mask. Wear trousers and shirts. The man who also put the suit on his arm walked in, followed by two men who were also wearing hoods and suits, but with MP5 submachine guns clearly hanging from their armpits in the suits.
Tom immediately got up. But it didn't move forward. Hawke, on the other hand, just glanced at it. He turned his gaze to the TV and said with a smile: "Let me guess and come to see us for the first time." Who is the one who wears a hood and dares to hide us? Tom, who do you think it is? β
Tom shook his head, but he wasn't stupid, he just didn't want to say.
"I guess, it's a man named Henry. McClydon. Jones's U.S. National Security Advisor. Hawke finished looking at the man who was still standing in the doorway.
The man waved his hand to let the other two out, and the other two immediately shook their heads, indicating that it was not safe, but the man still insisted, and the two had to leave, repeatedly telling them to come in as soon as there was an incident.
After the two men with guns left, the man who stayed behind took off his hood, revealing the old face that was not young and crawling with wrinkles, he was indeed Henry. McClydon. Jones. The guy with thinning hair on the top of his head looked like he was almost sixty years old, but there was a strange determination in his eyes, as if he had mastered everything in front of him.
"Call me Henry." Henry. McClydon. Jones stood against the door, slicing his suit directly on the TV, "Okay, you know my intentions, let's talk." β
"Tom, ask him, why do you want to use you as cannon fodder, and such elite soldiers of the 911 Special Service Regiment have to be sent to your death for Lu?" Hawke stared at Henry and said to Tom deliberately.
Tom didn't question, but just stood there looking at Henry, who had the urge to slaughter the old fellow.
"I'm a national security adviser, and I need to be responsible for the security of this country." Henry said lightly, not saying a word more.
"Who gave you that much power? In my memory, the law does not give you the power to mobilize the army! Hawke frowned at Henry.
"You should know that the president can appoint a national security adviser without going through the Senate." Henry leaned against the door, a smile on his face, "Who gave me the power, you say?" β
Actually, the answer is obvious, but Hawke still doesn't believe that the president can be so brainless and believe in a former arms dealer from a company? Although Henry was also a high-ranking officer in the U.S. Army before joining Sharman Power, this does not clear his current identity. After the Astaya incident, fools know that Lu Dao has an absolute relationship with Sharman Power. Moreover, countless people saw them taken off the helicopter with their own eyes, and many people in the United States are mourning the expatriates and military personnel who died in the incident.
Henry took out the walkie-talkie and said a few simple words, and then the picture on the TV changed, it became news, and the news was showing several men and women in bandages walking off the plane, and the reporters standing below were full of reporters who had been waiting for a long time and people holding flowers, and the reporter in charge of the live news broadcast was very excited to tell everyone in front of the TV set - these 6 men and women were American expatriates rescued by the Sino-US joint team from Alanya, the capital of Astaya!
Hawke and Tom were stunned, but Henry sneered.
"The Chinese have their means, we have our own plans." Henry pressed the walkie-talkie again to make people switch back to the beach picture, "The Chinese claim to the outside world that it's just the expatriates trapped, I think this should give us a step, right?" Therefore, this matter is a win-win situation, their goal has been achieved, their own people have been rescued, and our plan has been completed. β
Hawke and Tom remained silent, both knowing that they were going to die next, and Henry would not leave the two of them alive.
"What do you want to eat?" Henry left the door and straightened his back, "I'm a very merciful person, you can eat the whole roast beef for the last dinner, I have prepared a good steak for you, and ......."
As Henry said this, he suddenly felt the ground shake, and then the opposite wall was slammed down from the outside, and a large crack appeared. Hawk and Tom immediately dodged and stood in the other corner. Henry also realized that something was wrong, and immediately opened the door and called his own people in.
"Bang-" The cracks in the opposite wall were getting heavier and heavier, as if someone was hitting it with a huge hammer, but Henry still didn't want to believe that someone could smash the wall, because the wall was three meters thick, reinforced concrete.
"Kill them first!" Henry pointed at Hawk and Tom, and the two men immediately raised their guns sideways, and at that moment, the instinct of survival made Hawke and Tom pounce without hesitation, but because they had not received excellent treatment in the past few days. There are also overly tired relationships. was still kicked away directly by two Henry's men.
"!" Henry cursed, looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, and was about to close his eyes and wait for death when the wall was smashed open. A civilian Humvee with shock columns and hedge plates crashed in. Ran straight into the two men with guns. The first impact pillar smashed the head of one of them against the opposite wall, while the remaining one was also shoveled down by the hedge plate.
The man who had been shoveled down was struggling to get up. The Humvee backs away and then slams into him, crushing him directly into a patty with a hedge plate.
"You're the two who came back alive from Astaya?" A masked guy in the Humvee, dressed like a terrorist, yelled, but spoke without an accent and in standard American language.
Hawk and Tom nodded in unison, and the man immediately tapped the car door and said, "Follow me for your life!" Hurry up, hurry up! β
Hawke and Tom immediately opened it and got into the Humvee, and then looked through the front windshield but saw no sign of Henryβthe old fox who should have been cut by a thousand knives had already run away.
"Who are you?" Hawke asked aloud in the back seat, looking at the two militants sitting in front of him β the man in the passenger seat was holding an RPD machine gun, and the driver had an AA12 automatic shotgun in his lap.
The man driving was still shouting like a madman, cursing the two henry men he had killed with his car.
"Friends! Sit tight! We're taking off! The man in the car put up reverse gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the car screamed like a monster and rushed out of the back, knocking over two combatants who rushed to stop it.
The car ran directly over the two men, and Hawk and Tom, who were sitting in the car, felt the jolt of the car running over the person's body, and both had an indescribable strange feeling in their hearts, and the two of them had no regard for any consequences, regardless of who they were dealing with now.
Under the control of the driver, the Humvee retreated like a runaway mustang, impacting several more cars in the alley outside, and the co-pilot, who had previously interrogated, also mounted the RPD machine gun at the window, while cursing, while strafing outside, a lot of bullet casings splashed into the back seat, so hot that Tom quickly moved his ass and hid in the direction of Hawk.
The Humvee finally turned around in the corner of the yard, and before changing gears, the driver raised his AA12 shotgun and killed the four combatants who rushed out of the nearby building, threw a grenade out of the road, stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the gate.
Are these two crazy? Hawke shrunk back in the back seat, he had never met such a crazy "rescuer", and the two men had come with complete determination to die together.
"Die!" The driver directly crashed open the iron gate, and knocked the two off-road vehicles that just crossed there outside the iron gate, and then made an emergency turn on the road outside, and while turning, the co-pilot shouted "Stop!" Teach that shit a lesson! βγ As the Humvee came to a halt and was facing the gate from which they had just escaped, the co-pilot's machine gunner pulled the trigger and shot inside the door with a howl, opening his mouth to let out a strange cry, as if the group of people who were secretly holding Hawk and Tom had a great hatred for them.
"Fuck you! Fuck you! "The machine-gun fire completely suppressed the fighters who were about to rush out of the gate, and many of them who were hiding on both sides of the doorway pillars were also knocked down by the penetrating bullets and were beaten to a blur by stray bullets.
Tom and Hawke winced back and looked at each other, thinking that even terrorists wouldn't be so crazy, would they? Where did these two come from?
"That's it! Walk! After firing all the bullets, the Heavy slammed the door and raised his middle finger towards the gate, and then the Humvee rushed towards the next street entrance, the cars on the street had already flashed to the side, and the pedestrians were hiding on the side of the road with their heads in their hands, and no one dared to stop the two madmen who controlled the mechanical monster.
