Chapter 156
Han Yongbo and Yang Weiwei were shocked when they heard that the Nigerian troops stationed in the mining area had been wiped out by this group of militants with great ease. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Blade Special Service withdrew from Nigeria two years ago, the safety of the mining area is also a foolproof thing for her to step up the training and supply of weapons to these national troops.
In Yang Weiwei's view, no matter how bad the Nigerian army is, when it encounters a strong attack by bandits, it is easy to rely on the advanced weapons in their hands to support them for an hour or two. And even if they can last half an hour, it will be enough to get the support of the Blue Bird Country's Global Rapid Reaction Force.
But what made Yang Weiwei feel very angry was that when she came to the scene, she found that all the Republican Guard soldiers were killed in their beds except for the three sentries who were shot in the head with sniper rifles, not only the barracks, but even the soldiers in charge of the surveillance cameras in the elimination room were full of alcohol. It is clear that on the night of the 27th, all the soldiers drank a lot. After they had finished drinking, they went back to the barracks in a groggy state, and even the sentries who stood guard drank alcohol, and as for what happened outside, it was probably not clear until the moment they died.
After she went to Abuja, Nigeria, to do an investigation, she found out that the day of the incident was the wedding day of the son of the battalion commander of the garrison stationed in the masonry mining area. On that day, the whole battalion celebrated the great joy of the battalion commander's son, and the soldiers gave up the drill, and the smell of wine was everywhere from the barracks to the checkpoints.
The festive atmosphere spread throughout the mine, where many engineers and technicians were invited to a dinner party, and the chaotic scene of cups and plates on display showed how chaotic the scene was.
Before Yang could investigate the whereabouts of the robbers, on the afternoon of the second day of the hostage-taking, rebels from Niger claimed responsibility. They said they did so in retaliation for the supply of arms and funds to the remnants of the government forces in Niger by OTWC and its partners.
On the website video, they demanded that OTWC and its partners cut off all contact with government forces within the next 12 hours, and that the U.S. government, which their partners preside, recognize the international legitimacy of the current regime, in addition to demanding that OTWC pay a ransom of 10 billion euros to its designated account within 12 hours of the rebels' statement.
Although Chen Xinyao, who was far away in the lunar measurement orbit, did not see the statement immediately, in view of the seriousness of the situation, Tang Zongli, who was based in Australia, rushed to Nigeria as soon as the statement was issued.
Later on the day Tang Zongli arrived in Nigeria, Chen Xinyao and Pierre also arrived by special plane. After everyone arrived in Nigeria, the group had a meeting at the hotel where they were staying. In addition to Chen Xinyao, Pierre, Tang Zongli, and Yang Weiwei, there were also Han Yongbo, who was in charge of African affairs, and in order to be able to help when necessary, Ishii sent Umegawa Hideko to also attend the meeting.
At the meeting, Pierre, on behalf of the U.S. government, gave a brief explanation of the current government of Niger, and he also gave a photographic display of the crimes against humanity committed by the current rebels. Finally, Pierre summed up the unreasonableness of the demands of the rebels, and suggested that Chen Xinyao decisively reject the conditions put forward by the rebels. In the most radical gesture of zero tolerance for international terrorism, Pierre hopes that everyone will unite to solve this problem through political and military means.
Recently, Chen Xinyao, who has been focusing on the Diyue fast-track laying project, obviously showed a trace of fatigue at the meeting, and he himself did not want to personally participate in such an issue.
Chen Xinyao, who had already set his sights on the depths of the universe, felt that this was like a farce, if these people knew about Chen Xinyao's strength now, it was obvious that Chen Xinyao felt that these bandits in front of him were crazy.
"A small African rebel, either give them 10 billion, or let Tang Zongli lead people over to solve the problem, I am now at the most critical time of technology, I can't leave at this time, you should consider the overall situation." This is Chen Xinyao's reply to Ouyang Jing's request for him to return to Earth to deal with this issue.
At this time, although Chen Xinyao's face showed a sad expression, he still remembered what Tang Xueyan said to him in his mind.
"It's not a question of a group of bandits taking hostages and wanting a little money, it's not that simple. Today, there are more than 500,000 employees employed by OTWC worldwide, who are located in all corners of the world. They enjoy the benefits of OTWC's advocacy of a perfect life and healthy work every day, and they create value for the future of OTWC every day. You are now the soul of OTWC, and employees often compare you to their idols. You should be with your employees when they need you the most, and take care of them, which is the foundation for our long-term development. As long as you haven't given up on them, they won't give up on you. ”
It was Tang Xueyan's words that moved Chen Xinyao, and he put down his 100,000 urgent work and rushed over immediately. After listening to Pierre's specific introduction to the Nigerien rebels, Chen Xinyao motioned to Yang Weiwei to talk about the situation at the kidnapping scene. After learning the truth that the soldiers of the Nigerian Republican Guard were all killed in their sleep, Chen Xinyao frowned deeply.
After Yang Weiwei finished her report, Chen Xinyao turned her head and asked Tang Zongli if he had prepared a task force. After receiving Tang Zongli's affirmative answer, Chen Xinyao began to lay out the current solution.
He first asked Yang Weiwei to negotiate with the Nigerien rebels in a third country on behalf of Yang Weiwei on behalf of himself and the Niger rebels on the hostage incident, and at the same time, he also asked Tang Zongli to immediately lead a task force to infiltrate Niger with Zhang Hailiang's cooperation to obtain the specific location and relevant information of the hostages. As a special envoy, Han Yongbo immediately contacted the remnants of the Nigerien government army to prepare for the rescue of the hostages.
After making the above arrangements, Chen Xinyao invited Pierre to attend the charity dinner held by Tang Xueyan in Paris, France. In response to Chen Xinyao's warm invitation, Pierre immediately agreed to Chen Xinyao's proposal to invite him to Paris with him.
Not to mention that Chen Xinyao and Pierre went to Paris to attend a dinner, it is only said that Tang Zong should have quickly assembled his contingent in Mali after receiving Chen Xinyao's order. With the cooperation of Zhang Hailiang's drone team, a group of 40 people sneaked into Niger from the Malian border.
Located on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, this landlocked country has been ranked among the least developed countries in the world for centuries. The country has been in political turmoil, poor people, and poor resources for the past few hundred years.
But in such a barren land of Central Africa, in 2225, it was elected by a military forum to become the sixth largest military power in the world. In the 10-year confrontation between government forces and rebels, in order to gain its own interests, the United States not only helped the Nigerien rebels build the world's strongest army, but also equipped this force with the world's strongest non-strategic lethal weapons at that time.
As the world's most powerful military force and the world's most barren land-owning country at that time, Niger has been staging all kinds of jokes from global netizens in the Sahara Desert in that year.
Some people compare it to a malformed baby born to an American pregnant woman, while many more believe that it is the self-suffering fruit of Americans. Because in the second year of the rebels in Niger, the authorities quickly collapsed with the Americans because of the ore mining and military bases. On the afternoon of the same day, the Nigerien authorities expelled the US ambassador, and the next day, 30 Americans across the country were beheaded by the authorities.
After that, in order to take revenge, the Americans, in turn, began to help the government forces that had fallen from power to seize power, but this was not easy to say. With veterans of war and the best weapons in the world, this group of rebels has cornered Americans and government forces every time. And the worse news came after Tang Zongli and they secretly infiltrated Niger, and on the afternoon of the 23rd, the latest two billion dollars of arms that Americans supported the Nigerien government army were attacked by Nigerien rebels when Chad, Libya, Algeria and Mali entered the country at the same time.
The arms were supplied to Niger through the U.S. government by Pierre's company, and the source of the arms came from a joint venture between the OTWC company and the Pierre family business. Among them, small laser weapons and self-propelled guns, as well as light weapons, represent the highest level of today's weapons. Although these weapons are still somewhat different from the restrictive weapons provided by OTWC to the Blue Bird Blade Special Service, these weapons are undoubtedly lethal for a country's military equipment.
With the cooperation of informants and government forces. They soon found clues of hostages near a military base in southern Niger.
