Chapter 523: Surrender
Behind the substation, Thorne Wehrmacht Chief of Staff Alden McDowell and several senior military and police officials were listening to the middle-aged man's advice.
When he heard a report of a treasure island merchant offering advice, he couldn't believe his ears.
Although the Thorne Defense Force is small, as the chief of staff and the senior leader of the country, he knows the affairs between China and the treasure island very clearly.
In their eyes, these two places were originally one country, and it was only in order to get those gratuitous assistance from the treasure island that they would establish diplomatic relations with them, and naturally they would inevitably scold a few idiots in private.
There is no shame in this, almost all the island countries in the entire South Pacific have done this, and the gratuitous aid from the treasure island is their main source of GD.
But he never expected that this lucky man would stand up at such a critical moment and give him such a good plan.
Taking the Huaxia merchants as hostages and using their bodies to form a human wall, the Huaxia army really didn't dare to move forward half a step further, and honestly stopped there.
This is Thorne's great victory!
And the credit for this victory will go to him, the Chief of Staff of the Thorne Wehrmacht, Alden McDowell!
That's right, this chief of staff and the commander of the Navy Kible have the same desire to become Thorne's hero.
Now, Alden McDowell already knows that this middle-aged man named Cai Yingwu is only one word different from the original so-called female president, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it.
He was about to ask Cai Yingwu what he should do next, when the adjutant in charge of shouting in front of him ran over with a soldier in a navy uniform.
"Chief of Staff, the Huaxia army has just sent him over and said that they want to negotiate with us." The adjutant said urgently.
Alden McDowell knew that this Navy soldier must have been a prisoner of war just now.
Surrender was not a shameful act at Thorne, and Alden McDowell had no idea of playing cards to punish them, and when he heard that the Chinese army was going to negotiate with him, he asked, "What are they going to say?" ”
"They said they wanted to exchange hostages with us and let us release the Chinese merchants, and they let us go." The prisoner replied.
"Hostage exchange...... It sounds good, but it's useless for us to keep those Chinese businessmen anyway, so let's just promise them. Alden McDowell asked the people around him for advice.
Before the others could speak, Cai Yingwu hurriedly said, "Sir, I can't promise them!" ”
Alden McDowell paused and asked, "Why not?" ”
"Sir, you don't know, these Chinese people are the most cunning, what they are best at is treachery, as long as you release these Chinese businessmen, there is nothing to threaten them, they will attack us immediately!"
Cai Yingwu said with a nose and eyes, which made Alden McDowell and others hesitate.
Alden McDowell knew too well what his army was like, and he couldn't even defeat the eight Chinese soldiers, so he blew up a ship and captured two.
They simply don't have the strength to resist Huaxia, and being able to negotiate with Huaxia is already the best option, as long as they can solve the immediate crisis, he will still be branded as a hero.
But Cai Yingwu's words made him undecided.
It is said that the person who knows you best is your enemy, Baodao and Huaxia have been opposed for so many years, they should know Huaxia best, then Cai Yingwu's words will come true.
If, as he said, Huaxia waged war against Thorne, and Thorne had no chance of winning at all, then he would have changed from a hero to a sinner.
"Is that really the case?" Alden McDowell asked.
"Of course, I vouch with my personality, as long as you release the Chinese merchants, they will definitely start a real war!" Cai Yingwu swore solemnly.
"However, if you don't agree to them, it will still anger Huaxia, war will still come, and my soldiers are still in their hands, and I will be responsible for them." Alden McDowell said.
"Sir, we can do this, first release a part of the Chinese merchants in exchange for the soldiers of your country, and the rest of the Chinese merchants will be taken hostage, so that Huaxia can sign a contract of inviolation, so that we can be foolproof." Cai Yingwu said.
Alden McDowell fell into deep thought.
If, as he said, Huaxia and Thorne can sign a non-aggression contract, then he will become Thorne's most popular leader, and he can even consider becoming president.
It's so tempting, Alden McDowell is tempted at this moment.
"Okay, just do as you say, you go back immediately and tell the Huaxia army, in order to show their sincerity, let them release you first, and then we will talk about the issue of Chinese businessmen." Alden McDowell said to the Navy soldier.
The sailor shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I will never go back!" ”
"You are disobeying military orders, I will send you to court-martial!" Alden McDowell
"Even if you send me to court-martial, I won't go back and die!" The will of the naval soldier was very strong.
"Sir, don't be angry, in fact, you don't need to let him go back, we can shout to the Huaxia army. If they don't regress, we'll just kill two Chinese businessmen. Cai Yingwu said.
"Kill the Chinese businessman? Are you sure they won't retaliate against us? Alden McDowell asked.
"Of course, I'm sure that they will never retaliate, they will only condemn at best, and that's what they do best." Cai Yingwu said.
"It seems that this is the case, in this case, you go and shout to the Huaxia army, just say this is what I mean." Alden McDowell said to the adjutant.
The adjutant turned and ran back again, and in a short time the sound of a loudspeaker sounded again on the dock.
"Listen to the Huaxia army, you must unconditionally release the prisoners of war, and we will negotiate with you, this is your last chance, if you refuse, we will execute the two Huaxia spies in ten minutes!"
"Okay, let's wait a little longer, and in less than ten minutes they'll agree." Cai Yingwu smiled.
Little did he know that not far from them, Dewey and the second mule were hiding.
The exchange of hostages is indeed the original plan, the task of the hidden dragon is to rescue the hostages, if the hostages can be rescued, there is nothing impossible to exchange those prisoners of war, anyway, there is no use in keeping them.
This is the first preparation, the other hand is the Dewey Four who have already infiltrated the docks, if Thorne's side is stubborn and refuses, they will quickly implement decapitation tactics on Thorne's military and capture their commander.
As they expected, the Thorne military police did not intend to release the Chinese businessmen, and what made people even more angry was that they wanted to kill people!
Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?
"Ready!"
Dewey whispered, anger in his voice.
"Roger!"
The two mules, the shepherd and the chestnut god answered at the same time, each pulling the bolt and loading the bullet.
"Action!"
On the rooftops in the distance, reporters from various countries were shocked by Alden McDowell's latest statement, and the next moment they saw two figures rushing out like tigers from a mountain and rushing straight to Alden McDowell's location.
"Huaxia soldiers!"
"God! Where did they come from! ”
"Quick, turn the camera on them!"
More than one person shouted, and all the camera cameras moved to Dewey and the second mule at this moment, but then the cameramen found that they could not move the camera as fast as the two charged.
Dewey and the second mule were no longer hiding, and their actions quickly caught the attention of Olden McDowell's guards.
"Enemy attack!"
The guards exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly raised their guns in their hands.
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots rang out suddenly, but the sound was not from the hands of the guards, but Dewey and the two mules took a step faster.
Thorne's army was already outnumbered, and Alden McDowell, as chief of staff, only had two guards, and the guns of these two guards were just halfway raised, and the angry bullets from Dewey and the second mule pierced their chests.
Blood spurted out, and the two guards' eyes widened as they slowly fell to the ground.
Alden McDowell and the rest of the senior military and police officers were stunned by the scene, and when they reacted, they scrambled to pull out their pistols.
Dewey and the second mule did not give them a chance to draw their guns, the assault rifles in their hands let out angry roars again, and two more high-ranking police officers were shot to the ground, so frightened that the rest of the people immediately raised their hands without Dewey's order.
Cai Yingwu was frightened, he never thought that the Huaxia soldiers would rush in front of him.
He can't wait to give himself a slap in the face now, if he knew that this was the case, why would he give advice to Alden McDowell, wouldn't that be looking for death?
The more Cai Yingwu thought about it, the more frightened he became, his legs slumped to the ground, his body trembled uncontrollably, and there was an extra puddle of unknown liquid under his body at some point.
The gunshots rang out here, alarming the military police on the docks, and the first to react was Alden McDowell's adjutant.
"Hurry up and save the Chief of Staff!"
He yelled, pulled the people around him and ran towards the substation.
He had barely taken two steps before his body suddenly froze, as if he had hit a wall and was bounced back, and he took a few steps back.
There was a sharp pain in his chest, and the adjutant looked down to see blood gushing in the area near his heart.
It was only then that the roar of the sniper rifle came, still so clear in the chaotic exclamations of the crowd.
But the adjutant couldn't hear anything, and the last thing in his mind was: "There are snipers!" ”
The sniper rifle roared again, and with each shot, one of the military police officers fell to the ground and died, causing the others to jump in their arms.
The dock instantly became chaotic like a vegetable market, and the military and police fled in all directions, not caring about the Chinese merchants at all.
"Quick, get down!"
The Chinese merchants woke up from the shock, shouted loudly to remind each other, and all of them fell to the ground, making Chestnut God let go of his hands and feet even more, and sniped again and again.
After the substation, Alden McDowell knew that he was in danger, he swallowed hard, summoned up the greatest courage, and said to Dewey and the second mule: "I am the chief of staff of the Thorne Wehrmacht, I surrender to you, and I demand to be treated as I deserve." ”
