Chapter 346: Done
After discussing with Oman and others, they finally decided to disclose the news to the French side, even if it is unknown whether it can play any role at this time, in short, it represents their attitude. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They are not saviors, and it is obviously impossible to worry about the French people, and the original intention is simply to sell a good one.
Eric was quite shocked when he got the news of Xiao Yang, and it was no secret in the circle that Xiao Yang's identity as a mercenary had long been in the circle, and he knew that he would not joke about this kind of thing, so he immediately contacted the security department.
Soon after, Xiao Yang received a call from the French Ministry of Security, in which the other party was very polite and eager, but unfortunately, Xiao Yang did not know much about this, only knew that the target of the other party's attack was Paris, but the time was tomorrow, and I didn't know anything more specific.
Paris is sure to do that, but Xiao Yang doesn't think it will make much of a difference. How big is Paris? And how many police are there in Paris? It is impossible to defend every place, and the IS side has been planning for so long, and this temporary deployment is difficult to stop their movements.
The next day, at 3 p.m. Paris time, nine terrorist attacks occurred simultaneously throughout the Paris metropolitan area, including four armed attacks and five bombings, while the targets were stations, large supermarkets, a football stadium where a ball game was being held, etc., with an unknown number of dead and wounded, but according to reliable sources, at least more than 100 people were killed and hundreds injured.
More than 100 people died, what is the concept?
Modern warfare, let alone encounters, is an ordinary positional warfare, and it will not exceed this death toll at a time.
It is conceivable that the global disclosure of the news immediately attracted worldwide shock and condemnation of terrorists.
……
"We got the news too late, otherwise ...... Terrorists are our common enemy, aren't they? "Less than half an hour after the incident, someone from the French Ministry of Security called.
The other party's identity is not high, and they expressed their gratitude on the phone, and explained that the call should have been made by the Minister of Security, but now the other party is too busy, and when the matter at hand is dealt with, the minister will personally call to thank him.
Xiao Yang didn't care about this kind of formal thing, but the Minister of Security specially asked people to call to thank him, and he also put his status very low, and he still felt a little happy in his heart.
After asking about the specific situation, the other party did not hide it, "During the operation of more than 20 hours, we successfully organized six attacks, one of which was a large shopping mall and a theater...... If the other side succeeds, the death toll is estimated to have doubled...... Now that the number of confirmed deaths has exceeded 150, that number is set to rise by ......"
The other party's tone was very low, Xiao Yang couldn't think of anything to comfort, he was used to seeing life and death, and he himself was almost a borderless person, and he really didn't have much feeling about the suffering of the people in France.
After a few words, another cell phone rang: Daines.
Daines called at this time, of course, there was nothing else, the Italian government could not react so quickly, and the rest was that he attached importance to the news as a minister.
Sure enough, in addition to expressing the accuracy of Xiao Yang's intelligence information on the phone, the rest were a few innocuous words.
All parties are moving, and the next new round of anti-terrorist operations is definitely imperative, sitting and watching the situation, occasionally Xiao Yang and Oman also sighed that they don't know how many people will die.
Of course, they did not sigh for the sake of the two sides of the war, but lamented those civilians, whether the Americans or the Russians, they attacked the ISIS forces again and again, bombs and missiles as if they didn't want money, but they never considered that there were civilians in the war zone.
How innocent are civilians?
"When did you become soft-hearted?" Seeing that Aman and Xiao Yang were sighing at the same time, little Ivan said with a smile.
The two of them glared at him in unison, but they couldn't talk about being soft-hearted, so many people in the Middle East and Africa were going to die every day, and if they all had to sigh in their hearts, they didn't need to eat that meal, this thing, just come back once in a while.
"You don't have any compassion."
Little Ivan looked confused, "What is compassion?" ”
I don't know if he really doesn't know this word, or if he pretends, anyway, Xiao Yang doesn't bother to bother with him.
In the eventual Paris incident, the death toll was set at 240, the vast majority of whom were French, with more than a dozen foreigners, including three Americans and two Italians......
What will be the reaction of NATO countries, Xiao Yang didn't think much about it, and after getting this definite number, he was also speechless for a while, and called Doyle and asked him about the situation: It has been more than ten hours since this guy was posted, and there was not a word except for a safe message.
"Just came out of the Prime Minister's office and was about to call you." As soon as the call was connected, Doyle spoke.
"Hey, you're back in Italy so soon?"
Doyle smiled bitterly, "Take the diplomatic channel, otherwise how could you leave Paris so quickly?" ”
Xiao Yang was a little surprised, the Italian government's reaction was quite big.
But he immediately laughed in his heart, and this was a great thing for him.
"How's it going?"
"You wouldn't have thought of it?" Doyle said in a surprised tone, and as soon as he finished speaking, he smiled again, "When I arrived, Daines was there, sitting in the prime minister's office with thick papers and looking like he wouldn't leave without giving an answer, did you give him any benefits?" ”
Daines had his channels, and after the incident, he quickly learned that Xiao Yang had told the French side the news, and he was sure that even if the death toll in this incident reached hundreds, the French security minister would definitely not be resigned.
Because in this incident, he also saved hundreds of lives.
Just one of them is enough for him to continue to sit in his position, and who gave this? Xiao Yang!
He couldn't imagine what his end would have been if this happened in their country if there was no person like Xiao Yang. Both the prime minister and the president have a term of office, but he is a minister, as long as the prime minister thinks you are suitable, he can sit until he retires, he does not ask to climb to a higher position, he just wants to sit in this position until the day he should leave.
If he still had a trace of suspicion about Xiao Yang before, then through this incident in France, this trace of doubt no longer exists, and it also made him extremely clear how important Xiao Yang was to him sitting in this position safely.
Taking 10,000 steps back, Xiao Yang's previous suggestion is also of great benefit to Italy's national security, isn't it?
Therefore, there are sufficient reasons for the government to agree to cooperate with Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang could almost guess what he was thinking, and in the face of Doyle's ridicule, he replied with a smile: "I guess I just want to bribe him, and he doesn't dare to take it." ”
"That's it." Doyle laughed, in a very good mood, "Next, you prepare, there will be a result in no more than half a month at most." ”
"Looks like I'm going to get busy, I'm going to the United States in two days, do you want to bring you something back?"
Doyle was silent for a moment, realized the meaning of the words, and quickly understood something.
…………
After saying hello to Hamis, Xiao Yang flew straight to New York.
The U.S. government's mind is exactly the same as Xiao Yang's previous analysis, as relations between Iran and Russia warm, they gradually have a sense of crisis, the Middle East battlefield is not only mired in it, so far there is no clear situation, but also have to bear the pressure of the domestic population, another large-scale war is obviously unlikely.
Using Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to contain Iran has become his best choice at the moment, Xiao Yang arrived in New York to meet with Hamis secretly, and as soon as he talked about it, Hameis was silent, but he did not say anything impossible.
"It's not in the military, you have to talk to the people in the White House." There was silence for a while before he spoke.
He is most aware of the situation in the Middle East, so he does not think that Xiao Yang's move is unlikely to succeed, on the contrary, it is very likely: the United States needs allies now.
"What if I can get an order for nearly $10 billion in arms?"
"Whoever finally gets this order, then whoever comes forward, five billion dollars is enough to settle this matter, Rome, GM...... Any large company has this capability. Hamis's eyes lit up, and he said with great certainty.
"Oh?"
"Don't underestimate these companies, think about how you can chat with the Secretary of Defense for less than two years since you became a naturalized American citizen......"
Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly, is this saying that he has made financial transactions with the Americans, so that he has the current treatment? But he doesn't feel like it, and when he says he Xiao Yang, doesn't he mean himself?
In this purchase order, there is a batch of 20 helicopter gunships, and before Abdullah has clearly said that they want to adopt Eurocopter's Tiger type, so the last trip to Europe in Oman also went to Eurocopter's headquarters, and now in order to settle the United States, it doesn't hurt to give this order to Apache.
Tiger and Apache have their own strengths, and they don't get along much with each other, so the price may be a little more expensive, but the UAE has the ability to afford it, doesn't it?
"Okay, then I'll get in touch with it in the next two days."
"In my personal opinion, this possibility is still quite large, and our country does not produce medium-range ballistic missiles, and the Chinese are cheap."
Xiao Yang smiled and said nothing, people can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, so people have to vomit, right?
"Isn't it? I'll leave if I'm fine, I still have something to do, you have negotiated over there and give me a call, I'll go to Huasheng, meet a few friends, and talk to you when the time comes. ”
This is interesting enough, of course Xiao Yang will not let him suffer, "Then thank you, I will surprise you after a while." ”
