Quietly in the conference room, Major General Green stood in front of the large LCD screen, his hand constantly rubbing his chin.

The other party was definitely prepared, and his old bottom was touched clearly by others, and he was poked in the sore spot.

Indeed, if tonight's crisis management is successful, it will undoubtedly add a strong stroke to his resume, but if it fails, as the mask man said, I am afraid that he will be forced to resign and go to retirement early.

For a professional soldier, this is simply as unacceptable as being deprived of his life prematurely.

"General, I think these miscellaneous pieces are intimidating us!" Colonel Reid said coldly: "If we compromise, I'm afraid it will affect the image of our country and the military, and those damn KB elements will think that we are weak and can be bullied at any time." ”

"You mean storming?" Green glanced sideways at his subordinates: "Can you guarantee that you can safely rescue His Highness Gustav?" ”

"I have enough confidence in my men." Red said proudly.

Major General Green did not speak.

"General, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us." "The faster you act, the higher the survival ratio of the hostages," Reid urged. ”

Just as Green was still hesitating, Lieutenant Linda's mobile phone rang.

Answering and putting it in her ear, Linda gently stepped aside and whispered the phone, as the information liaison officer tonight, she had more than a dozen officers under her who were responsible for gathering information and intelligence, keeping an eye on every move on the island.

Dozens of seconds later, Linda returned to Green.

"General, something happened."

Green's face turned a little blue, and he turned his head sharply and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

His expression was a little stiff, and his brow furrowed.

This mess tonight has made him uncomfortable enough, and something has happened that really makes him late to go around.

"Look at this."

She picked up the phone, spoke into the microphone and said, "Bring the screen to the conference room." ”

The large LCD screen flashed, and the local news TV station immediately appeared.

In the picture, a number of armed men in black combat uniforms are dragging corpses everywhere at the gate of the castle on the island.

Although the picture is not very clear, the clothes on the corpse are still faintly visible.

Some of the bodies looked like bodyguards, some were dressed in evening gowns, and at first glance they were guests attending a charity gala.

"Damn it!"

Green's scalp was numb, and he said sharply: "Who took these pictures!?" How did they shoot it!? Didn't I say that I was going to temporarily block the news? ”

"We really haven't released any information about the hostage crisis, and even the police have warned us not to release any information about the hostage crisis to the press without the permission of the crisis center."

Lieutenant Linda said: "Some of these images were taken by SVT TV reporters, and some of them were taken by independent BBC reporters. The journalists rented helicopters and filmed with high-definition telephoto cameras hundreds of meters from the island......"

"Damn bastard!" Green couldn't control his emotions anymore: "Do they know what the hell they're doing!?" Send someone to expel the bastard from the air and contact the relevant TV station people to stop broadcasting these content and images on the TV channel immediately! ”

"Actually......"

Linda grimaced, "Our people have already done this, but the TV station has rejected our request. ”

"Why!?" Maj. Gen. Green couldn't believe what he heard.

"They say it's their freedom, it's their right to the press......

"Oh! Oh, God! Green's face became extremely ugly: "You immediately contact the air traffic control center, they will send someone to intercept the helicopter that wrote the damn news!" I didn't get all the videos they took back, don't tell me anything about freedom of the press! You tell them that it's just the decision of the National Anti-Terrorism Center, and whoever dares not to listen to it is endangering national security, and they will be arrested immediately! Also, call the top management of their TV station, and I don't care who it is, let someone who can talk talk to me. ”

"Yes, sir!" Linda straightened up, turned and hurried away.

Bang –

Maj. Gen. Green slapped his palm heavily on the oval table in the conference room.

He knew what the consequences would be for these journalists, and that when such images were put on TV channels, they would cause a public uproar.

The next thing is self-evident, you will be pressured by the top to deal with the hostage crisis as soon as possible, which will disrupt all your plans to negotiate with the other party.

On the TV news, the picture seems to be inserted again.

A journalist made a live report on the street across the island......

“…… Since 8 o'clock this evening, gunshots have been heard on the island, and the power system has been cut off for a while, so we tried to contact the castle administration on the island to inquire about the situation, but the phone could not be connected...... According to insiders, tonight the castle on the island was rented by Prince Gustav, a member of the royal family, to host a charity gala, and the guests included Charlotte, the princess of the Kingdom of Comoros......"

Speaking of this, the blonde female reporter suddenly touched her headphones and said loudly: "Wait...... Our reporter in front of us had taken a shocking picture earlier, but because the picture was too bloody, we had just done technical processing......"

Major General Green felt a cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn it!

Shocking picture!?

And what will it be!?

Suddenly, the news station switched to a video that was put on the live screen.

A dozen men in suits, who looked like bodyguards, alternately rushed out of the door of the castle's banquet hall and engaged in a shootout with several armed men outside the door.

Those who rushed out of the hall seemed to be completely pressed by the military qualities of the seven militants outside the door, and two of them shot forward alternately, almost like an autumn wind sweeping away the entire parking lot, shooting down all the armed men in sight.

"These people are professional soldiers." Standing beside the general, Rhett's eyes stared at Qin Fei and Lei Ming and the others on the screen, "At least I have served in the special forces." ”

"Who's going to stop the picture!" Green turned and shouted at the officer behind him.

The scene stopped, and Green pointed to one of the women in a dinner dress and said, "This, it must be Princess Charlotte." ”

"There's another woman over there, who also seems to be a guest, and those people seem to be her bodyguards as well, so check out what this person is right now."

"Yes, General." The officer nodded, turned his head and sent the query command on the computer.

Green's phone rang, and he took it out to look at it, the muscles in his face twitching slightly.

It was the top of the country, and the big people at his top called him.

Answering the phone, Green stepped aside, listened more and said less, and finally answered a few words with a "yes yes".

Hanging up, Green returned to the conference table, sighed, and looked at Colonel Red.

"Rhett, I received the call from above just now, the royal family has put pressure on the government, and the hotline of the crisis center and the hotline of the police have been overwhelmed......"

Colonel Red looked silently at Green, his old superior.

"General, you mean we should be dispatched?"

Green rubbed his palms on his face a few times, and looked at the LCD screen in distraction: "Are they sure to force them to death......"

After a while, he turned his head and said to Red, "Now I have to try it without risk, you go and prepare, according to your previous plan, do what you have to do......"

"Yes! Sir! Red straightened his chest, saluted, turned and strode out the door.
