Text Chapter 713 Confusing the Truth with the False
Just as Victor was carrying the food and hot drinks, Grant suddenly motioned for him to stop at the front.
"You open the food and taste it all."
Grant was a little careful, he was afraid that someone would be drugged in these foods, so he asked Victor to "test the poison".
Of course, there is no drug in food, and no one will continue to use such backward methods in the current anti-terrorist activities. The food that Victor brought with him was only to stall for time and to paralyze the enemy and make them let their guard down.
After Victor had eaten the food in the box one by one, Grant was relieved to ask a companion to carry the things.
Viktor retreated to Yurikov's side, and the hand hidden under him made an "OK" gesture to him, and Yurikov nodded imperceptibly.
After the pirates had eaten their food for a while, Yurikov continued to ask, "What else do you have to offer?" ”
"You said that the Chinese promised not to blame the past?" Grant wiped his mouth, a look of suspicion on his face.
"Yes, people are dead, it's useless to continue to think about it, besides, we still have work to do here, and time is precious to everyone."
"Hmph, I'm not done with them." "That night they raided our harbor and killed many of our brethren, and most of all, they blew up almost all of our ships. ”
"It's all in the past, as you are here in Longyearbyen, and like them, you're building this camp." Yurikov had accurately grasped the source of the contradiction in the other party's heart, and he first tried to persuade him.
"If you were among those who died that night, would you still say, 'It's all over'?" Grant asked rhetorically.
"And what do you want?"
"Well, the Chinese killed our people, I also killed their people, and he also blew up our ship, so I will blow up their ship too. yes, just that big red ship, I'm going to blow it up. Trant roared, his face flushed sickly with hubris.
"It's their research ship, and I can't be the master," Yurikov said, spreading his hands, signaling that this was beyond his means.
"I don't care about this, if you can't be the master, go find someone who can be the master, otherwise we will be finished together." Grant wasted no time in flashing the bomb in his hand to threaten the other party.
"Okay, give me some time, and we'll persuade the Chinese people to meet your requirements." Yurikov said he, along with Victor and Vladimir, retreated outside the computer room and returned to the temporary command center to report back to the top on the latest outcome of the negotiations.
"Bomb the 'Snow Dragon'?" Zhang Yawei was stunned for a moment when he heard the pirates' latest request, "Are they crazy?" ”
"Their desire for revenge is very strong," Mr. Yurikov said, "and Grant seems to be the leader of the pirates, and he is almost always the one who talks about them." ”
"Agree to their terms." Beside Zhang Yawei, a middle-aged man stood up and said.
"Who is this?"
"It's him!" Just when everyone was a little surprised, someone had already recognized the identity of the middle-aged man.
"Robin, are you sure you're not kidding?" The security official of the United States asked the member of Dr. George Mather's team, "Although the Snow Dragon can indeed be sacrificed compared to Operation Glacier, if we allow the pirates to make random conditions, who knows what crazy things they will say next." ”
"I only said that I agreed to their conditions, but I didn't say that I wanted to blow up the ship, and there was naturally no reason to abandon my martial arts at the negotiation table." Robin said, "You agree to his terms, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
"Oh?" Yurikov didn't know what the middle-aged man had in mind, and he asked with some unease, "Are you sure you have a way to confuse those pirates?" If they know that we are not meeting their conditions, they will be angry and do something that destroys the pressure gauge, and the consequences will be dire. ”
"It's easy to confuse them, you bring a laptop to the computer room and pretend to show them a live stream of our bombing of the ship," Robin said with a smile, "I can make a simulation of the scene so they will believe that we really blew up the Snow Dragon." Of course, in order to fully trust them, we also have to make some preparations, such as placing the amplifier equipment outside the computer room, and synchronizing the sound of the explosion in the analog image with the amplifier equipment. ”
"What if they send someone to the docks to check it out?" Yurikov asked.
"This is easy to do, the 'Snow Dragon' and the others will leave the port directly and go to the waters behind the rock wall on the west side to hide, and we also have to create the illusion that some ships have been blown up and sunk in the sea near the dock."
"Perfect!" Heartfelt admiration came out of the mouths of several security officials.
"How long did it take you to make this simulation?" Yurikov continued.
"Fifteen minutes? It won't take more than 20 minutes at most, and the scene is very fast and does not need to be remodeled. Robin thought for a moment and gave an answer.
Yurikov and Viktor and Vladimir returned to the computer room, "The Chinese agreed to your request. ”
"Really? Hahaha. Grant smirked, "Can you describe to me the look on their faces when they agreed to this request?" I wonder if they are crying and sad as if a loved one has died. ”
"They're sad, but they're willing to make this sacrifice based on your commitment not to destroy this room......"
"Hey, don't play tricks on me, if you want me to give up destroying this place just by blowing up that big red ship, I think the price is too small." Grant interrupted Yurikov, who believed that he had all the initiative in his hands due to Hua's concessions, and that Yurikov did not appear to be strong in the negotiations.
"What else do you have?" Yurikov asked.
"I'll talk about the other conditions later, I want to see you complete my first request first."
"Blow up the ship?"
"Yes." Grant nodded.
"Give us 15 to 20 minutes, the Chinese are already carrying explosives to the research ship, and we have to get the ship off the dock to avoid the explosion spreading to other ships and buildings on the shore."
"Twenty minutes, then." Grant said magnanimously.
It took only seventeen minutes for the laptop used to broadcast the "Bombing Ship" to be sent to the computer room of reactor No. 4, and the computer was taken by Victor and placed in front of Grant and others.
The screen appears to be from the camera equipment on the docks, and Grant sees the giant red ship in the middle of the picture on the sea.
"Fried, bastard, why don't you blow it up?" Grant stared at the center of the frame, and seeing that it had not responded, he urged Yurikov.
Yurikov picked up the walkie-talkie that Viktor had brought back and said inside, "Ready to blast." ”
Hearing Yurikov's voice, Grant turned his attention back to the screen, and his fellow pirates gathered around him to watch the computer intently, for fear of missing the exciting moment.
Viktor quietly gestured at Yurikov, signaling that he could take the opportunity to try to launch a surprise attack to eliminate the pirates in one fell swoop, but Yurikov took stock of the situation and pressed his arm to keep him from acting rashly.
The red giant ship in the picture suddenly turned into a ball of fire, a black smoke screen rose into the air, and a huge explosion sounded outside the computer room at the same time, and the sound was so loud that the eardrums of the people inside buzzed.
"Damn, that's exciting!" Grant flicked his fist excitedly, his face full of vengeful excitement after seeing his former enemy sink to the bottom of the sea with a burning light.
The companions cheered as they had all lived that frustrated night, and that night, like many of their dead companions, were overwhelmed by the fire from the air.
"Roar," Grant jumped on the ground a few times, then raised his hands and waved them in the air. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but Yurikov stared at the bomb switch in his hand, for fear that this guy would accidentally press it.
"You're good," said Grant, who was now the leader of the pirates, without hesitating praise to Yurikov.
Yurikov just smiled, his expression a little helpless, and his look fell on Grant's eyes, which made the guy even more proud.
"I said, get me another boat, it's bigger, you see we have so many people here. With plenty of food and fresh water, as well as weapons, I'm going to leave here with my brothers and go to find a beautiful island to continue the rest of our lives. ”
"Are there any other conditions? I mean, if you're willing to give up destroying this room. Yurikov asked.
"I and the Chinese people have already cleared up, and now as long as you give me a way to live, I will give you a way to live." Grant kicked the laptop in front of him and stomped his hands on his feet, thinking as he went.
Yurikov waited for his next step, his eyes a little hesitant, just now Viktor had made a gesture to him with a chance to act, but he still did not dare to make a desperate bet.
Now is also not the time when it is necessary to take an all-out gamble, so Yurikov is not willing to take risks. Although Viktor and Vladimir had a chance to kill Grant in an instant, neither of them could guarantee that the bomb controller in the pirate leader's hand would not fall into the hands of his companions, and as long as the reactor engine room was still in danger, Yurikov would be as likely to cast a rat trap as the higher-ups in the camp.
"It seems safer to let them go outside and do it again," Yurikov thought to himself.
