Chapter 212: The Cat in the Freighter
Subsequently, Xu Yuan explained to Lin Xiujie in a serious tone: "You must know that the most critical thing in the world power is still Hua Guo and Berry Country, we are now maintaining the position of a neutral country, if the East takes military action against us, we will go to Hua Guo!" ”
"And Huaguo will definitely not let go of the opportunity to accept your little brother and will definitely provide us with assistance, and of course Berry Country will not want to see that Huaguo has an additional maritime military base in the Pacific Ocean, so in the end it is bound to restrain his little brother not to go too far."
The current country of Canada is very special, in terms of cultural circles, the country uses Chinese, but ideologically it is close to the berry country, which leads to the fact that both sides think that the country may fall to their side.
"Because we didn't take sides, we were absolutely safe." Xu Yuan said earnestly.
Although he felt that what he said was good, Lin Xiujie always felt that something was strange, and after thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "But why don't we stand on the side of the berry country, isn't it good to be the backer of the world's first power?" ”
With a sneer, Xu Yuan said lightly: "Master, I don't like him." ”
You know, a private military contractor is actually a legal term for mercenaries, and it is also an organization that gives heads of state a headache but has to come into contact with.
"Mercenaries" are a bunch of unscrupulous guys who treat war as a business, and for the sake of the mission, they can not care about international law, civilian casualties, all moral issues, and use the least cost means to complete the most difficult tasks.
Everyone hates them, but their employers don't have to bother with their bad reputation, so Berry Nation will always use them while maintaining their "good name".
However, there is also a downside to the use of mercenaries in large numbers, since it is undoubtedly an unrealistic luxury to expect private mercenaries to be ethically disciplined in other countries.
Now, the same international problems are facing Qatar and the East.
Leaving aside the sinking of the Oriental fishing boat that intruded into the restricted military zone, whether the military action of the mercenaries alone can be regarded as an act of war is a matter that has not yet been settled in the international community.
So the question is, is it wrong for the Qatari country to hire private mercenaries to undertake border protection, and the private mercenaries sank the fishermen in the east who did not listen to the warnings in accordance with the law when enforcing the law?
Breaking into a military base in any country has the right to shoot and kill the intruder, but it is rare for a country to enforce this right to avoid causing international problems.
And now, the problem facing the East is that it was Qatar's private military contractors who sank the fishing boat.
Speaking of which, I have to praise the new cabinet formed by President Lin Xiujie, who has handled the crisis public relations really well.
Xu Yuan gave only one order, that is, never compromise on the territorial issue, never give in to the sovereignty issue, and never apologize for any mistake, but it is those politicians who are busy talking about it.
Although the country's defense minister is a bare-bones, he still made a very constructive statement.
For example, he perfunctory Dongguo by kicking the ball, insisting that it was the Star Wish Trading Company that sank the fishing boat, not at the behest of the Ministry of Defense.
On the other hand, Xingyuan Trading Company insisted that it was only carrying out a mission, fulfilling its obligations to defend the national border in strict accordance with the contract, and that we were only taking money to blame the contract and the law.
As a result, the diplomats of the eastern country kicked the ball back and forth.
After grinding for more than half a month, under the instruction of Xu Yuan, the salvage of the wreck finally began.
Although the Oriental ships were not allowed to enter the country to assist in the salvage, the Qatari side invited some representatives of international media to participate in the salvage process to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the salvage results.
However, to everyone's surprise, assault rifles and other light weapons and equipment were actually found on the fishing boat.
Why were small arms found on fishing boats, framed or was there something else going on? For a time, the major media also had different opinions.
At the same time, the intrusion of fishermen in the Lucas Islands by fishermen from the East over the decades, as well as the bad deeds of maliciously ramming and sinking Qatari fishing boats several times, have been sorted out.
Including the oral account of the son of the fisherman who was killed, including relevant documentary records, it was made into an hour-long documentary and uploaded to social platforms.
Immediately after, the baby's news pop-up reprinted the video with an eye-catching title to promote it to the world.
Pirates or Fishermen? Counting the bad deeds of the fishermen in the east with the connivance of **"
This video has only been online for one day, and the number of views has exceeded 10 million, and other online media have also followed suit, setting off a blatant wave in international public opinion.
As a result, almost all public opinion sympathetic to the East turned to attacking the crimes of the East.
Dongguo ** even jumped out and accused Yuan International of reporting untruthfully on this matter, and could not favor Qatar because of the existence of engineering cooperation with Qatar.
At the same time, the spokesman of Oriental News also demanded that Yuanying International Group immediately delete the relevant remarks and apologize to the Dongguo people.
However, Xu Yuan ignored him at all.
Source Shadow International Group issued a statement that the video does not represent the position of the company, we only reprint the video, not the publisher of the video, do not assume all responsibility, and refuse to delete.
Although this move caused strong dissatisfaction in Dongguo, it won the collective applause of outsiders and the Chinese people.
It is precisely because of this that Yuanying International Group has not suffered losses, but has benefited a lot!
At the same time, the president of the East Country was angrily scolding the Minister of Foreign Affairs, "How many times have I said it, tough! Have a tough attitude to put pressure on their **! We have an army of 200,000! ”
"But, Mr. President, they don't seem to be afraid of us." The Minister of Foreign Affairs said with a wry smile.
"It seems that it is necessary to knock them down, it is simply unbelievable that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and how dare to do it to our eastern country!" The defense minister of the eastern country suggested viciously.
"However, the U.S. side has asked us to exercise restraint on this issue, and excessive pressure may cause neutral countries to fall into the camp of China." The Minister of Foreign Affairs objected.
"But if we do nothing, our people won't be satisfied." The Minister of Defense argued.
Listening to the quarrel of the cabinet members, the president of Dongguo fell into deep thought, but it didn't take long for a flash of fierceness to flash in his eyes.
"Mercenaries, huh? Hehe, it's not like you're going to hire it! ”
Three days later, the night was dark.
In the combat headquarters of Tidal Island, the cold light of the display screen flickered, and more than a dozen staff members were busy in front of the computer.
On the large screen in the center of the headquarters was a freighter with a displacement of 500 tons, with no national flag on board, and only a few figures could be seen on the deck.
According to the course analysis of the radar, the target of the ship was precisely the Tidal Island.
When the construction of Tidal Island began, Xu Yuan deployed a wide-area radio life detection device on the island, which can detect life signals within a radius of 1,000 kilometers.
The technology is well established in the wasteland, and it didn't take much effort to come up with this enlarged version of the detection device.
So, as long as it's not a drone, no living thing can escape this guy's detection.
Ten minutes ago, the radar station monitored the information of the ship, which was clearly a cargo ship, but it detected the response of 124 people's life signals.
During such sensitive times, any vessel that comes close to the border will be on the lookout.
At that time, the ship was still 70 kilometers away from the national border, and it was determined that the ship was not taking the international general waterway after route checking.
The radar monitoring personnel of the headquarters initially judged that the ship might be a stowaway passenger ferry, so they immediately contacted the patrol boat patrolling the nearby waters. Approached the steamer.
Ten minutes later, the ship crossed the border of Qatar, corrected its course, and took advantage of the darkness to move straight in the direction of the tide island.
The patrol vessel sailed 3 kilometres from the vessel and attempted to access the ship's radio channels, but the patrol vessel went into radio silence, ignoring all communication requests.
Realizing that something was wrong, the patrol boat did not risk approaching and released the ship's drone.
By night, the drone moved close to the surface of the sea, approached the suspected stowaway passenger ship, and then infiltrated the inside of the ship against the wall.
It didn't matter, and it startled everyone in the command, because this ship was not loaded with stowaways, but a group of soldiers with loaded guns!
Moreover, the other side's ships are also equipped with landing motorboats and other beach-grabbing combat equipment, except that there is no national emblem on the military uniform and no flag is hoisted on the ship, this is a unit that is not inferior to the regular army!
Realizing that something was wrong, Flying Tiger immediately ordered Tidal Island to be put into combat readiness, and everyone ran to the tarmac of the base to assemble and wait for orders.
Balikun put down the phone, looked at Feihu with some anxiety and said, "The boss's phone can't get through." ”
Of course, he couldn't get through to Xu Yuan's phone, because Xu Yuan was on the Yuanxing side, and a new thing had been developed over there, and he was studying it with great interest.
Feihu nodded, silently looking at the screen in the center of the headquarters, the ship in the screen was heading towards the tide island at high speed, the other party is only 270 kilometers away from the tide island, from that posture, the other party is obviously not good.
"Boss, he should have deliberately not answered." Feihu seemed to understand something, and suddenly replied.
Looking at Balikun's incomprehensible gaze, Feihu sorted out his firearm and explained, "The boss provided us with the most advanced equipment and clearly explained to us how to deal with the problem,"
"If we can't even handle this bit of trouble and call and ask about anything, then I don't deserve to be a commander."
"So what do you think we should do now?" Balikun seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but swallow.
After adjusting the night vision device again, Feihu's face showed a touch of coldness!
