Chapter 471: Meet the Hostages
When Dewey entered the factory, the first thing he saw was not the hostages being held together, but the terrorists in charge of guarding.
With just a sweep, he saw the situation of the terrorists clearly.
Twenty-four people.
Four machine guns.
There weren't a lot of people, and the firepower wasn't very strong, but it was enough to shoot all the hostages in just two or three minutes.
"Major Du, I'm sure you've seen it, these hostages are all safe now, but if you make any unfriendly moves, then they won't be safe anymore." Gabri pointed to the side.
Dewey ignored him, but shouted at the Chinese hostages: "Hello everyone, I am Major Dewey sent by the motherland to rescue you. ”
He was in a hurry to introduce himself because he almost called out his name when he saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, and these faces were full of surprise.
The employees who can be sent out by the State Grid, no one is a fool, all of them heard Dewey's words, no matter what doubts Lao Zhang and others had about Dewey's identity, they all suppressed their doubts at this moment.
Especially when they heard the word "rescue", everyone's eyes flashed with hope.
Especially Lao Zhang, who knew Dewey, knew that the Qianlong Fourth Team had killed terrorists in Bo'an Holy Land who wanted to launch a terrorist attack, and they felt even more down-to-earth in their hearts.
"Captain Du is the one who has killed terrorists, and he will definitely be able to save us out!" Lao Zhang clenched his fists excitedly.
Gabry did not stop Dewey from speaking, because as soon as Dewey finished speaking, a terrorist next to him translated his words.
"It seems that Major Du didn't hear what I said just now, so let me say it again, if you have any action to try to rescue, I promise that there will be no living people here before you attack in." Gabri said coldly.
Dewey glanced at the terrorist who had just translated, and said with a smile: "Gabry, it seems that your subordinates are not proficient enough in Chinese, the word 'rescue' in China does not simply refer to rescue by force, but also has other meanings, such as through negotiation." ”
"It doesn't matter if you're proficient or not, as long as you can understand what you mean." Gabry said.
"Just trying to understand what I mean, it seems you're quite interesting. But you still don't understand what I mean, and I mean if he doesn't mean what I mean, and you misunderstand what I mean, so that we have to mean to know what we mean by each other, then it doesn't make sense. ”
Dewey had a lot of "meanings" in Mandarin throughout the whole process, at least at the level of Chinese listening level 10 to understand what he meant, and the translator looked at him with wide eyes, leaving only two words of confusion on his face.
As a result, Dewey didn't let him go, and said apologetically: "Oh, I'm really sorry, I accidentally said so much, do you understand what I mean now?" ”
"What did he say?" Gabri asked the interpreter.
The translator, who was about to vomit blood, shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know what he means." ”
"Rubbish!" Gabri said angrily.
The Huaxia hostages couldn't hold back any longer, and they all burst into laughter, and the previous horror was wiped out by laughter.
"Laugh what a laugh! Laugh again and kill you all! Gabri roared.
Only then did the Chinese hostages remember where they were, and their laughter stopped abruptly, and they turned their attention to Dewey for help.
Dewey patted Gabry on the shoulder disapprovingly, and said in English: "Gabry, stop scaring them, otherwise I will take what you say as true, and I think everyone knows what the consequences will be." ”
Gabry shook his shoulders, shook off Dewey's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Major Du, I asked you to come to visit the hostages, not to let you perform a talk show." ”
"Actually, what I just meant is very simple, that is, if you don't believe me, you can bring it up directly, I just use English for the whole process, there is no need for others to translate from the middle, it is easy to distort my meaning." Dewey said.
Gabri snorted coldly: "It's good that you know." ”
"Haha, don't worry, Gabri, I'm a very good person."
Dewey, regardless of Gabry's face now, patted Gabry on the shoulder again familiarly, and then turned to the Chinese hostages.
In fact, he didn't deliberately tease the poor with Gabry, but wanted to reassure the Chinese hostages.
Even the leaders of the terrorists have nothing to do with him, and these terrorists have nothing to fear, just wait for rescue with peace of mind.
This trick really worked, and many of the hostages showed sudden expressions, no longer as afraid as they were just now.
"Hello everyone, I have already introduced it just now, and I believe everyone knows me, so next, please listen to me continue."
Dewey paused slightly, and then said: "After the country learned about your plight, the chief was very concerned about your safety, and specially assigned Ambassador Zaghawayin to negotiate with the terrorists, and I was one of the team members. In accordance with the instructions of the Chief, we will do our utmost to free you and do everything in our power to protect your safety, and negotiations are now under way with the terrorists, and much progress has been made. They have made a promise that they will not hurt any of the hostages again, so please don't panic and just wait in peace. Gabry, I hope you can confirm this to you personally, it's not too much, isn't it? ”
Despite some reluctance, Gabri nodded and said, "Until the time limit is over, as long as there is no military action between Huaxia and Zaghava, we will not kill any more hostages." ”
Hearing him confirm it himself, not only the Huaxia hostages, but even the Zaghava hostages cried with joy.
Since they were taken hostage, they have always been on the lookout for fear that they will be used by terrorists to make an example of them, just like the hostages before them.
Now that they are finally relieved, they don't need to worry about their lives anymore, at least for the next two days.
"We apologize to all of you and for not doing a good job because the hostages were killed before."
Dewey said and bowed deeply.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, not to mention the colleagues who got along day and night, and the hostages' hearts were also full of sadness, and the atmosphere in the factory suddenly became dull.
Dewey straightened up and continued, "Don't grieve, everyone, according to the agreement we have reached with the terrorists, all the wounded will leave here with me and go outside for treatment. As for the others, don't be too alarmed and afraid, we have not given up on you, please bear with me a little longer, we will do everything in our power to save everyone safely before the deadline of the terrorists. ”
Hearing that the injured hostages were released first, the injured hostages were overjoyed, and the others were also overjoyed.
This proves that Dewey did not lie just now, they have made a lot of progress in negotiations with the terrorists, and now release the injured hostages, then it will be them next.
The joy of imminent rescue diluted the sadness in people's hearts, and hope flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Well, that's all I have to say. Gabry, I can get the wounded out of here now. Dewey asked, turning his head.
The hostages all stared at Gabri, and when they saw that he had a calm face and did not speak for a long time, they all felt a little chill in their hearts, and secretly wondered if these terrorists had changed their minds again.
Gabri didn't make them wait too long, though, and nodded.
Suddenly!
Before the Huaxia hostages could make any moves, a large number of people stood up on Zaghava's side first, shouting nonsense: "I'm injured, take me away!" ”
With so many hostages being taken hostage, naturally no one was injured as Gabry said before, and it was also impossible for so many people to be injured, especially many people were full of anger, and where they looked a little injured, they obviously wanted to be confused.
On the other hand, on the Huaxia side, although there are also people who stand up, most of them are really wounded, and there are few people who are not injured, and they are just reaching out to support the wounded.
It's not that the Chinese hostages don't want to leave, it's that they believe in Dewey, and on the other hand, they also want to leave the opportunity to leave to those who really need it.
Seeing this, Dewey sighed, who said that the Chinese people are not united?
Maybe they usually fight among themselves for this or that reason, but when it comes to the real crisis, they are the most united collective.
Seeing the two completely different states of the two sides, Gabry held the fire at Dewey for a long time, and finally broke out at this moment.
"Sit it all down for me!"
He yelled, and immediately ran over to several of the terrorists, punching and kicking the Zaghava hostages, so frightened that the others immediately sat back down.
"You guys go check me one by one, and if anyone dares to pretend to be injured, they will leave me here forever!"
Gabry spoke murderously and turned his head to look at Dewey, as if to ask him what he had to say.
Anyway, without the hostages of China, Dewey naturally wouldn't care, but he can't show it here, after all, the name he is now holding as a Chinese officer represents the country of China, and if he ignores the lives of hostages from other countries, it will be another crisis of public opinion in the future.
So, he patted Gabri on the shoulder again and said, "Gabri, you should understand their feelings at the moment, I believe that after your warning, they will not do this again." In the same way, I am confident that you will keep your promise and will not commit any more hostage killings. That's the basis of our negotiations, don't you say? ”
Gabri heard the threat in his words, snorted coldly, and said, "Sort out the wounded and let him take them away!" ”
The wounded were not numbered, and it didn't take long for them to be sorted, and they stood behind Dewey with each other's arms.
Dewey looked at the Huaxia hostages again and said in a deep voice, "Please believe us and be patient for a while." ”
After saying that, he raised his hand and saluted, and turned to leave with the wounded.
The Chinese hostages watched Dewey and the wounded disappear outside the factory, and their eyes did not retract for a long time.
"Will we really get out alive?" Someone muttered to himself.
"We're going to get out alive." Lao Zhang replied softly, but his tone was unusually firm.
