Looking at Peinan who came out of another container house with some surprise, Tang Guoming looked at Eric who was sitting in the dark in the room: "Eric confessed so quickly?" ”

Sighing heavily, Pei Nan frustrated and removed the two clean copper knuckles from the fingers of his right hand: "I didn't even touch him, he happily told the location where the hostages were held." ”

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Tang Guoming quickly asked, "Where are the hostages held?" How's that going? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Nannan spoke: "This matter is indeed not that simple! According to Eric, he was hired to kidnap the hostages, and the only condition for the hiring party was that the hostages must die! But I think this is obviously unreasonable? If the people who hired Eric wanted to kill those people, then a direct attack would work, so why bother? Could it be that Eric took it upon himself to change the attack to a kidnapping in order to make more of a profit? ”

After a slight hesitation, Tang Guoming turned his head to look at the wheeled armored vehicle parked in the courtyard that was being repaired by several maintenance workers: "You don't need to explore Eric's thoughts first, can you confirm the location of the hostages?" ”

Reaching out and pulling out the map from the magazine on his chest, Pennan spread the unfolded map on the ground in two clicks, pointed to a valley on the map and said, "Here it is!" I don't think Eric is lying, he definitely wants us to go to this place and die! ”

Just looking at the location that Pei Nan pointed out on the map, Tang Guoming suddenly frowned: "Viper Canyon? The three-regardless zone adjacent to the border? ”

Obviously, he couldn't quickly understand the word "no matter what", Pei Nan pondered for a while before nodding at Tang Guoming and responding: "This is it!" Because Viper Canyon is bordered by several countries, if there is any disturbance, the thugs in the middle of it can flee to another country that has no law enforcement powers, so ...... It's a holy place for villains! ”

Carefully looking at the military combat map with a high proportion, Tang Guoming's brows became more and more tightened: "Eric is indeed very smart!" In the event of any unstoppable attack, he would be able to flee to the other three countries near Viper Canyon in no time......"

Shaking his head at Tang Guoming, Pei Nan responded: "It's the opposite! Eric kidnapped the hostages from the Republic of Dawa near Viper Canyon, and fled to Viper Canyon with them. By the way, more than half of the hostages kidnapped by Eric were Chinese, who were workers undertaking the construction of a water conservancy project in the Republic of Dawa! ”

Without waiting for Peinan's voice to land, Tang Guoming had already stood up and looked at Eric in the container house with blazing eyes: "Kidnapped the Chinese?" What is the government's reaction? ”

Looking at Tang Guoming, who suddenly had a violent movement, Pei Nan hurriedly stood up and grabbed Tang Guoming's arm: "Tang, calm down!" Have you forgotten that the country we are in is an enclave of Eswatini, which has not established diplomatic relations with most countries in the world, how can there be a corresponding government reaction? Again...... Can you find a government agency here that has been in existence for more than six months and is barely keeping afloat? ”

Watching Tang Guoming's sudden action of getting up from afar, Gu Weisu and Bao Lei, who were in a resting posture in the courtyard, but in fact, faintly controlled the scene in the courtyard with the momentum of horns, reacted immediately. Bao Lei's slap slowly touched a capture-type shock bomb hanging from the back of his waist, while Gu Weisu strode towards Tang Guoming, and his lowered hands inadvertently rested on the self-defense pistol in the holster of his legs!

Without a trace, he made a tactical sign language of 'stay vigilant' at Bao Lei and Gu Weisu, and Tang Guoming looked at Pei Nan again: "What about the specific number of hostages kidnapped?" ”

Pennan: "Twenty-two in all. I specifically asked, the Chinese are just half! Although Eric didn't say much, judging by the armed forces he had in the past, there were at least more than fifty armed men holding hostages in Viper Canyon! Don, I have to warn you that Eric's men are not mercenaries with little military training, they are all veterans of long battles and are well versed in the terrain around Viper Canyon......"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Guoming abruptly interrupted Peinan's words: "Peinan, send you and Eric here, you owe me a personal favor, right?" ”

Slightly stunned, Pei Nan nodded subconsciously: "That's true!" That's why I'm in a hurry to fulfill my promise to you......"

Waving his hand at Peinan, Tang Guoming looked sideways at several Humvees parked in the courtyard: "I think my needs have increased - how many weapons and equipment can you find in the shortest possible time?" Of course, this also includes a real military version of the Humvee and a large transport vehicle that can handle rough terrain and has some bulletproof features! ”

Involuntarily took two steps back, and Pei Nan looked at the parked vehicles in the yard with some hesitation: "Tang, I know what you want to do." Before I interrogated Eric, I also had a fair amount of agreement with the idea of you rescuing the hostages and then exchanging Eric for benefits. But...... Go to Viper Canyon to rescue the hostages? It was definitely a suicidal operation! I don't recommend that you do that, we can think of other ways to do it......."

Shaking his head firmly, there was a hint of solemnity in Tang Guoming's voice: "I don't think I have so much time to think about other methods!" Weapons and vehicles, how many can you find in the shortest possible time? ”

As if he understood that it was impossible for him to convince Tang Guoming, who had obviously made up his mind, Penan looked sideways at Pierre's office: "If you need these things you said, I think our buyers will have a way!" ”

Turning around and walking into Pierre's office, Tang Guoming looked at Pierre, who was holding a satellite phone in the room and arguing fiercely with someone in French, and stretched out his hand to make a 'stop' gesture.

Obviously having a glimmer of hope for Tang Guoming's idea of rescuing the hostages, Pierre hurriedly yelled a few words into the satellite phone, and then looked at Tang Guoming with bright eyes: "I think I can give you a good news - as long as you can rescue those hostages safely, at least most of them, then Pierre's value will increase by fifty percent!" What do you think? Did the guy speak? ”

Sitting steadily across from Pierre's desk, Tang Guoming looked back at Pei Nan and Gu Weisu, who followed him into the room: "We already know the approximate location of the hostages, and we plan to implement the plan to rescue the hostages as soon as possible, but before that, I need some ...... I guess I could call this – risk lending? ”

Blinking, Pierre's eyes rolled unusually flexibly: "What do you need?" ”

After a slight hesitation, Tang Guoming said slowly: "A well-stocked and well-varied arsenal in which I can freely choose the equipment I need. There are also some necessary means of transport and ...... Any form of material and manpower support you can provide! ”

Exaggeratedly opening his mouth, Pierre's expression was like that of Grandet, a miser who had been robbed of all his savings: "My God! An arsenal of weapons at your disposal? Are you going to fight World War III? I have no intention of pointing fingers at your professionalism, but your request seems ...... Excessive? ”

Looking at Pierre calmly, Tang Guoming tried his best to make his voice sound softer: "You don't need me to remind you of Eric's value again, right?" ”

Rolling his eyes slyly, the smirk on Pierre's face looked like a cheese-hungry skunk: "But you also said it - it's a risky loan!" If your actions fail, then my loss as the bearer of this risky loan is also obvious! ”

Slowly standing up, Tang Guoming's voice finally had some irrepressible coldness: "Walking out of this courtyard, I think it only takes me five minutes to let at least a hundred people around here know that Eric has been handed over to you by us." Have you calculated how much trouble this will be? ”

As if pricked in the ass by a needle, Pierre jumped up from his chair: "You can't do that!" This is outrageous blackmail! If you do, I'...... I'll release that hot potato right away! And you...... You won't get anything! ”

Habitually putting his fingers on the needle at the seam of his trousers, Tang Guoming stared at Pierre's eyes: "Why don't you try?!" ”

Based on the factor of height, Tang Guoming's condescending appearance staring at Pierre's eyes really gave Pierre an inexplicable pressure. And the sudden silence in the room made Pierre feel indescribably nervous and depressed. After a stalemate of about two or three minutes, sweat appeared on Pierre's forehead again, and the angry expression on his face loosened a little.

Coughing vigorously, Penan broke the embarrassing silence like a peacemaker: "Monsieur Pierre, based on my personal experience of the combat abilities of Don and his companions, I think the risk of you providing this loan is relatively small. Compared to the return you are most likely to have after investing, such a risk ...... It's worth it! ”

Grabbed a large crumpled handkerchief from his trouser pocket, Pierre wiped the sweat from his head, and muttered to avoid Tang Guoming's gaze: "If it's just material support, it may be a suitable business." But the support of the personnel ...... Don, I don't think you know how much it would cost to hire a team of high-quality armed men, do you? ”

did not answer Pierre's bargain again, Tang Guoming still stared at Pierre with flashing eyes: "For you and me, time is already very short!" Do you feel the need to continue wasting time on pointless verbal warfare? ”

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Pierre grabbed the satellite phone in his hand again in anger: "Okay....... okay...... Although I have not been able to see your combat prowess like Mr. Pennan, I am convinced of your business negotiation skills! Let me make a few phone calls......"

With a long breath without a trace, Tang Guoming turned to look at Gu Weisu who was following him: "Let Dagong and Pan Guan return to the team, we have a task!" ”

Nodding quickly, Gu Weisu paused abruptly the moment he turned around and walked towards the door: "Boss, you mean...... Task? ”

Nodding heavily, Tang Guoming's voice was obviously a little more suggestive: "That's right! We...... There's a mission! Remember the Third Rules of Engagement? ”

Nodding understandingly, Gu Weisu turned around again and walked towards the door: "I can't forget!" ”
