Chapter 18: The Pursuers (01)
After listening to the ins and outs of Chongquan's story, Si Yunfei frowned, almost the main force of the entire team was in Kanshawa, and now only he and Chongquan were left, and there were a large number of government troops besieging the city, and it could be said that it was difficult to rescue people.
"There is a convoy approaching, and it is expected to arrive in 15 minutes." Alpha issued a warning.
"Let's get out of here." Si Yunfei looked at the sky, and the rain was still falling.
In this way, two men and two machines disappeared into the heavy rain under the cover of night.
Ten minutes later, the government army's reinforcement convoy arrived at the scene, and the vicinity was quickly blocked, and several heavily armed Caucasian people jumped out of a car, no one spoke in the face of the battlefield full of corpses, led by a middle-aged man with a hawthorn face, he walked along the battlefield, and shook his head with a frown: "There is only one person." ”
"One person has killed so many government troops in battle, and he is really strong." The eel behind him whispered.
"These should be the footprints of the quadruped robot, there are a large number of bullet casings scattered near the extension of the footprints, airborne weapons, Gatling machine guns, traces of rocket explosions, one person controls two machines plus two fixed-position machine guns, these government troops are not unjustly killed, under such a powerful firepower raid, unless the tank can pass safely, who can use so many technological weapons? I am afraid that there is no such strength in Africa, so what is the origin of this outsider? The man at the head twisted the bullet casing he had just picked up and fell into deep thought.
"All the people in the armored car were killed with their bare hands, the door was cut off, and no trace of the prisoner was found, probably escaped." Someone reported.
"Did you flee on your own, or was you robbed?" The man who was in the hand fell into deep thought, "If it's not hijacking, then what is the purpose of this attack?" ”
"Captain Knight, the above invited you to come over to solve this problem, I hope you can find that person, he is very important, so let's go after it as soon as possible." The black officer who led the team was really impatient, he didn't know what this guy was doing in front of him, he didn't come to any conclusion after patrolling for a long time, and he was not in a hurry to track down those who attacked the convoy, but was talking to himself in the rain here.
"I know exactly what I'm doing?" The knight looked back unhurriedly, "First of all, find out the purpose of these people, otherwise everything will be in vain." ”
"They shouldn't have gone far yet, and it might be too late to chase them now." The black colonel frowned, obviously quite dissatisfied with the knight, "The order of the Minister of Defense is to catch that guy at all costs, and the contract you signed with the above includes completing all the assignments in order to get full payment, don't forget, you have signed a series of war contracts, not a single mission." This is a bit unpleasant, with a tone of warning and command.
"Then you tell me first, what is the origin of the person escorted by the convoy this time?" The knight dropped the cartridge casing in his hand and made a request at the right time.
"It's a matter of national security, and I have no comment." The black officer immediately rejected the request.
"You seem to have overlooked the fact that what we signed this time is indeed a contract, but there are also conditions attached, and our remuneration is not as simple as a few diamonds." The knight said unhurriedly, "Money is not the most important thing to us, we are interested in what you have in your hands, and on the way I got word that it was stolen?" If you don't have that, then there's no need for our cooperation to continue. ”
"That's just a rumor, the stuff has been stored in a safe in the Ministry of Defense." The black officer said very strongly.
"Okay, then let's sort this matter out first, and then think about the next move, I'm going to talk directly to the Minister of Defense." The knight said slowly as he straightened his weapon, and at last he drew his sword and tried its edge, saying, "I hate to be deceived. ”
"This is impossible, the Minister of Defense has no time to deal with you." The black officer arrogantly said, "Complete your mission first, and then talk about other things." ”
"It looks like you're not cooperative." The knight shook his head, "To be honest, I really don't want to make the relationship too stiff. ”
As soon as his words fell, the two people behind him suddenly attacked, and the black officer was restrained before he could understand what was going on, and the nearby government troops immediately raised their guns and pointed them at them.
The knight patted the black officer's face: "Lieutenant Colonel Carson, don't think that the Secretary of Defense is your uncle, I won't dare to touch you." ”
"What are you going to do?" The black officer was shocked, "If you dare to move a finger against me, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave this country." ”
"Don't worry, as long as you're obedient, I won't do anything to you!" The knight looked at the government forces around him, "You think this is what you can do with me?" Even if you have the upper hand, I can kill you before they do it, I'm here to solve the problem, not to find trouble, you should understand the importance of cooperation, the current situation is beyond your control, I want to talk directly to the Minister of Defense. ”
"The time is not right, the Minister of Defense has already gone to bed, and as long as the sky is not falling at this time, no one has the courage to wake him up." The black officer grimaced and said, "I don't dare." ”
"You only need to take care of the wiring, and I'll take care of the rest." The knight shook the fighting knife in his hand and said as if threatening, "Cooperation requires sincerity, we are out to sell our lives, if you don't even tell the truth, then I'm sorry, I will contact the relationship to terminate all assistance, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
"How could those people listen to you?" The black officers were clearly not convinced.
"They want to exchange arms aid for greater benefits, and I'm their observer here, do you think my words don't work? This is not just a transaction, but also a long-term cooperation in the future, if you want to defeat the rebels, you need them to provide you with a steady supply of weapons, technical support, and a large number of military advisers, otherwise you will have to wait to be hanged by the rebels on the gallows. The knight pushed aside the government soldier next to him and pointed at his gun, "Think about it, can you decide these things?" Is this a responsibility you can afford? ”
The black officer was silent, he had to admit that the knight's words were yes, but he was indeed unwilling to be controlled by others, he didn't look down on these people originally, but now there was no way, after all, his own life was in the hands of others, although he was sure that the knight didn't dare to do anything to him, but he really couldn't afford to pay this responsibility, and after thinking about it, he could only compromise and answer the call of the Minister of Defense.
"Mr. Minister, I need to know the truth, and I am afraid that deception will not be conducive to cooperation." The knight got straight to the point and said, "Did we get what we wanted stolen?" ”
"Absolutely not." The Minister of Defense was very sure that, although extremely impatient, there was no seizure.
"I know, that's your only bargaining chip now, but don't forget, if we find out how serious the consequences are for your tricks, you can think for yourself, we got the exact news on the way that something has been stolen, is it true?" The knight asked urgently, "I can tell you that the news was revealed by someone close to you, and you don't need to continue to cover it up." ”
"If I asked you who you were now, you wouldn't tell me, would you?" The Minister of Defense seemed to calm down suddenly, "Okay, I admit that the news is true, the thing was stolen, and we also caught the person who stole the thing, but it was not lost in the Ministry of Defense, but the two people who were escorted on the way to the Ministry of Defense dropped their bags, and after torture to extract a confession, he confessed that he was bought to do it, and the other person is still wanted, and there are indications that that person is likely to have been in contact with the key criminal escorted by the convoy tonight, and this key criminal is likely to know the whereabouts of the thing." ”
"I don't understand? How did that person come into contact with a prisoner? What is the origin of this escorted person? The knight asked.
"This is a spy we caught, we have cleaned up all the foreigners in the capital before, so there have been no foreign faces in the capital for a period of time, he was arrested as soon as he appeared, we didn't know his origin at the time, but he was routinely thrown into prison for espionage, but later we found out that this person seemed to be sent to the door on his own initiative, and later the prison reported that a rebel sleeper was caught, a guard of their prison, And it was found that this spy left the prison at night with the assistance of this guard, and the rebel infiltrator finally confessed that the purpose of this person was to get the thing you wanted, as for how to implement it, he did not know, the two things were linked, and we judged that the two escorts who stole the thing had some connection with this person, and it was likely that they had already given it to him. ”
"But why did you send such an important person away? This is not normal! The knight didn't think it made sense.
"We have our problems, you don't have to ask too much about this, in short, it is possible to find something that person can find, if you still want, do it as soon as possible, Carson will provide you with the necessary assistance, I still have some things here, goodbye." It was clear that the Secretary of Defense didn't want to explain too much, and the Knight didn't want to push too hard, so the call ended.
The knight thought for a moment and said to his men, "Transfer the others, we're busy." ”
The black officer saw it all in his eyes: "Leave the rest to you, our mission is complete, goodbye." ”
"Mr. Minister has said that you will provide the necessary assistance." The knight looked up, "I need you to deploy more troops to cooperate with our operations. ”
