Chapter 160: Permission to kill
(3-in-1 Grand Chapter)
Schenkov saw everyone's concerns, and said in a firm tone: "I don't want to hide anything, I must admit that this is a big gamble, and I myself am in the game." ”
"But I'm confident that we can win this bet and that it will be the starting point for me and you to go to greater heights."
"Just imagine, if this crisis is properly handled, what will the elites of Huxin Continent think of you? What will the leaders of the court think of you? ”
"Even the big names who call for wind and rain in the joint venture company, the iron-blooded consortium, and the headquarters of the Black Domain Group will notice you. Think about it, how will that affect your life? ”
The room was silent, and neither the intermediary nor the mercenaries responded, or even moved.
Su Mo thought to himself: Sure enough, it's the same as the original plot, no one is birding him...
In the original plot, countless big names in the mercenary world were present, and the commission was actually picked up by Ou Chenyu, who had the lowest status at the time, the main reason was that the risk of this commission was too high.
Don't look at Szychenkov's impassionedness, he is completely a big pie, and what he says is all false.
For the mercenary who accepted the commission, it would be a big gamble with all his net worth.
It's good to win the bet.
If you lose the bet, you will lose all your capital, and there will be no bottoms left.
The thicker the family background, such as Zhou Hannian, the more stable they tend to be in various choices.
They are steadily rising every day, and the future is promising, and no fault is merit, and the price of losing it is simply not affordable.
And a fledgling newcomer like Ou Chenyu, anyway, the capital is so little, and if you lose it all, you don't need to worry too much.
This kind of cutting-edge is often the most capital to gamble.
In the original plot, Ou Chenyu just gambled and won, and a big gamble won the efforts of others for decades or even generations.
Of course, this result is only known to Su Mo, the traverser.
Everyone present had no bottom in their hearts, and they all responded with silence at this time.
Ivan's gaze swept over everyone, and he smiled coldly: "I told you, Mr. Acting Speaker, mercenaries have no sense of responsibility and mission in their hearts, only interests. ”
"No matter how famous they are, mercenaries are just profit-seekers after all, and they will not make the slightest sacrifice or dedication to the city."
Ou Chenyu, who was sitting in the corner, was angry when he heard this, and the muscles on his face twitched, but he held back for the time being and didn't say anything.
Zhou Hannian felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and took the initiative to say in a relaxed tone: "It's better to follow the process, let everyone understand the specific details first." Otherwise, the situation at the scene is unclear, and it is difficult for us to give an answer. ”
Schenkov nodded, and began to manipulate the hologram, introducing the details of the feedback from the electronic reconnaissance unit one by one:
"The hijacking incident took place in the Xinghai Cinema on the 12th floor of the Moonlight Building, and now the entire 12th floor has been occupied by rioters."
According to the surveillance video of the square, there were a total of 28 rioters, the leader of whom was named Toei Muto, an S-level wanted criminal of the Public Security Bureau, a person with a severe prosthesis implant, and a military level 2 prosthetic body was replaced. Other thug abilities assessments are also on it. ”
"The hostages taken this time are the teachers and students of Chiyang Affiliated Primary School, there were originally 315 children, and now one child has been killed. According to the infrared imaging scan, all the hostages were concentrated inside the Xinghai Cinema. ”
"This is a real-time imaging image sent back by the electronic reconnaissance unit, you can make a reference."
The hologram projects a structural diagram of the Moonlight Building, focusing on the 12th floor, on which the shops, rooms, pedestrian passages, and ventilation ducts are displayed.
All human bodies were also scanned, with the hostages marked in blue and the thugs marked in red, so that their relative positions could be clearly seen.
Zhou Hannian, as the most experienced mercenary present, saw the clue at a glance, squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly: "This layout is too bad." The thugs held all the aisle hubs and had no way to infiltrate. ”
"If you want to rescue, you can only storm it, but to be honest, if you fight in this kind of place, there will be huge casualties among the hostages."
O'Diana asked aloud: "Can we adopt a special warfare method?" For example, the anesthetic gas is released from the ventilation duct, so that all the people inside are incapacitated, and then the rescue force can break in. ”
Zhou Hannian shook his head: "It's useless, I have seen the ability types of these thugs, most of them are prosthetic implanters, and they are all implanted with artificially modified lungs, which can automatically filter harmful substances, and the impact of anesthetic gas on them is very limited." ”
O'Diana went on to ask, "What about using high-frequency sonic concussions around the 12th floor of the Moonlight Building?" ”
Zhou Hannian still shook his head: "This trick can deal with ordinary robbers, but it's still the same problem, these thugs are all powerful transcendents." ”
"If you want to use a high-frequency concussion bomb to incapacitate an extraordinary person of this level, you need extremely powerful high-frequency sound waves."
"If the intensity of the shock is really so great, I'm afraid that all the hostages will be shocked to death first."
Dresser took over the topic: "Co-operative companies have recently been working on a targeted genetic missile, a weapon that can recognize a specific gene of an individual and cause fatal damage to it without affecting the people around it. ”
"We can send someone to negotiate with the joint company and ask them to help provide this weapon, which may have a miraculous effect in the rescue operation."
Zhou Hannian shook his head again: "The idea is very good, but according to the information I have, the targeted gene missile weapon is still in the early stage of research and development, and there are technical difficulties, so it cannot be put into actual combat." ”
"Even if it could be used in real combat, we wouldn't have the genetic information of these thugs. This plan is not executable. ”
The crowd kept voicing their opinions.
One plan after another was proposed.
One plan after another was rejected.
After more than an hour of discussion, everything finally returned to square one - a strong attack.
Of all the options, only the assault plan is executable.
But again, that's the problem.
A strong assault is bound to result in hostage casualties.
To attack is to raise the thunder for the city council.
Top thunder is a big gamble.
Who's going to bet?
Who would dare to gamble?
The atmosphere fell silent again, and no one was willing to stand up in the face of great risks.
Ivan looked at everyone coldly and said sarcastically: "Mr. Acting Speaker, you can see it, this is the mercenary of Crescent City. ”
"These mercenaries will only do things that are beneficial to themselves, they only smell of money, they don't have the slightest spirit of sacrifice, and it's a pure waste of time for you to come to them."
"Please give the order, the rescue is still handed over to the fourth anti-riot class, and I will bear the consequences with you. Let these spineless mercenaries be shrunken turtles! ”
Ou Chenyu in the corner finally couldn't sit still, he was angry in his heart, evil was born to the side of the guts, and he was ready to shoot the case.
However.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and someone slapped the table first.
I saw Su Mo slap his palm on the table in front of Dress, and shouted: "your horse, what do you call it, look down on us mercenaries, right?!" ”
In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhou Hannian sat there with a confused expression.
O'Diana hid her red lips and widened her eyes in astonishment.
Dresses was scared out of his pee.
Ivan was stunned for a moment, his face gradually filled with anger, and glared back at Su Mo: "You dare to slap the table with me?" ”
Su Mo pointed at Ivan's nose and said in a fierce voice: "What's wrong with slapping the table with you?" Why do you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut The mercenary captain, the mercenary is short, and you mock yourself first, and you don't allow me to scold you?! ”
Everyone was stunned, this kid didn't want to die, dare to talk like this to the people in the fourth anti-riot class?!
Ou Chenyu was even more confused, thinking: How did he say what I wanted to say?
The words were robbed, Ou Chenyu was speechless, so he could only sit aggrievedly, letting Su Mo continue to be in the limelight.
Schenkov didn't expect this change either, and looked at Dress: "You brought this man"
Dressy stood up sweating profusely, laughing more ugly than crying: "Ah, hahaha, what, Xiao Su usually has mania, and he doesn't seem to have taken the medicine tonight, everyone, forgive me, I'll take him out to take the medicine." ”
Dresser just wanted to pull the person away, but Su Mo broke free and walked in front of Ivan to confront him head-on.
Dressy grabbed the dreadlocks on his head, his face collapsed, and he had the thought of hitting the wall.
Su Mo raised his chin and said, "Our mercenaries were invited by Mr. Acting Speaker, do you look down on them?" How old are you? ”
Ivan looked Su Mo up and down, and sneered: "I didn't expect that I have a collective consciousness and know how to help my accomplices speak." Xiao Su, right? How long have you been a mercenary? ”
Su Mo: "Less than two months. ”
Ivan laughed, as if he had heard some joke: "Less than two months? Boy, you just asked me, how old am I? ”
"I joined the fourth anti-riot class at the age of 21, and I have served for 27 years so far, participated in 982 anti-riot operations, 3 times for personal special merits, 12 times for first-class merits, 47 times for second-class merits, and 124 times for third-class merits."
"How old do you think I'm old? Well? A little mercenary less than two months old? When I fought with the thugs, you were still a cell in your parents' stomach. You also deserve to argue with our anti-riot four lessons?! ”
Su Mo was unmoved, and said in a mocking tone: "Four lessons of anti-riot? Eh, guys, have you ever heard that joke? If not, I'll repeat it to you—"
"Once, robbers kidnapped hostages. The authorities learned of the news and sent armed forces to the rescue. ”
"When the hostage saw the rushing rescuers from the window, he suddenly became nervous and said to the robbers: Give me a gun! I'll rush out with you! ”
"The robber asked why? The hostage said: Didn't you see that the fourth lesson of anti-riot came? If we don't rush out, they will kill all of our hostages! ”
This joke caused the middlemen and mercenaries present to laugh, and even the most stable Zhou Hannian hooked the corners of his mouth.
The only one who couldn't laugh was Dress, who sat slumped, numb.
In Crescent City, the power and deterrence of the four anti-riot lessons are unquestionable.
However, the phenomenon of indiscriminate shooting by anti-riot officers and the large number of innocent casualties in each operation brought about by the "operational immunity" have always been the criticisms of the department.
Sumer's joke was true and pierced Ivan's lungs, and his eyes were red like a raging bull.
If the occasion didn't allow it, he would have to abolish this little mercenary who spoke wildly.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Schenkov clasped his knuckles on the table and said solemnly: "Pay attention to the words, this is a combat meeting, not a place for you to perform a talk show." We still have business to discuss. ”
Su Mo also got serious: "I just want to talk about business now." Mr. Acting Speaker, with all due respect, if this operation is handed over to the fourth anti-riot lesson, it will really be over. ”
"Even if you don't consider the problem of taking the blame after the fact, just look at the ability, you should find our mercenaries to carry it out."
Ivan laughed angrily: "You kid can really blow." Go on, I'll watch you perform. ”
Schenkov frowned and said: "I don't understand what you mean. There are indeed some problems within the fourth class of anti-riot, but Captain Ivan is a very mature commander and is proficient in all special operations, he is an expert in this area, do you think you are more professional than him? ”
Su Mo shook his head: "When it comes to special operations, of course I don't have his expertise." But you've fallen into a misunderstanding. We are now facing not a special operation, but a business. ”
"Business?" Schenkov was puzzled.
Su Mo smiled slightly: "That's right, business." To put it bluntly, the ultimate goal of this operation is not to defeat the crow's nest, not to kill as many thugs as possible, but to rescue as many hostages as possible with the least casualties. ”
"In the language of doing business, it is described as - pay the least price, reap the most return."
"So, it's important how to get more people out. As for whether the tactics are good or not, whether the strength is strong or not, whether the crow's nest thugs are dead or alive, it doesn't matter to us at all. ”
It was still like a human talk, and everyone nodded in unison.
Schenkov: "Go on. ”
Su Mo: "Since it's a business, it's natural to let the businessman do it." Mr. Acting Speaker, who do you think is the best person in Crescent City to do business? Businessman? Not. ”
"In my opinion, the mercenaries are the ones who are the most business-savvy. Because we have been doing the same thing every minute and every second since we entered the industry - to get the most reward with the least effort. ”
"The essence of this rescue operation is the same. The more hostages you have alive, the less you pay, the less pressure you have, and the higher I pay. ”
"In such a field that we are good at, why don't you let the mercenaries who are proficient in business look for them, but instead go to the fourth class of anti-riot?"
Schenkov thought for a moment and looked at Ivan: "According to your judgment of the situation on the spot, if you lead the Alpha Squadron to act, how much damage will it cause?" ”
Ivan looked at the hologram and thought for a moment, and said: "There will be at least a 50% casualty rate, and if the mob uses the hostages as shields, or even places tricks on them, the losses may be even higher." ”
This shocking figure made everyone feel a little chilled.
Schenkov couldn't help but clench his fists, and after a moment of silence, he asked Sumer: "Assuming that you lead the action, what do you think the loss will be?" ”
Su Mo held up three fingers.
“30%?!” The crowd exclaimed.
That's almost half the way!
20% fewer casualties means more than 60 more children, that's more than 60 elite families! The impact on the future is immeasurable!
Ivan scolded: "Fart! In the case of Xinghai Cinema, no matter who comes, the casualties cannot be less than 50%, where did you get the 30%?! ”
"Excuse me, what's 30%?" Su Mo had a mysterious smile on his face.
He still held up three fingers, and the next words completely shocked everyone:
"I mean, up to 3 more hostages."
"And I'm confident that there's a high probability that none of the hostages will die."
Before, everyone mistakenly thought that the casualty rate mentioned by Su Mo was 30%, and the audience was shocked.
And now that he said that at most 3 would die, and there was a high probability that one would not die, and everyone's reaction was cold.
The reason is simple, everyone thinks he's bragging.
There are 314 hostages in Xinghai Cinema, 28 crow's nest thugs with top combat power, the terrain is harsh, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the other party has the absolute initiative.
The anti-riot captain who has served for 27 years said that at least half of the casualties were killed, and your little mercenary who has just entered the industry for less than two months said that none of them will die? What about fools?
Ou Chenyu thought to himself: This person is brainless, right? Can you be a mercenary with an intellectual disability these days?
Zhou Hannian thought to himself: Now these young people who have just entered the industry are really outrageous, and they come with nonsense and open their mouths, who do they learn from
Dressy thought to himself: Lao Su, what kind of grudge do I have with you, if you want to do this to me, my reputation will be ruined for you.
Even O'Diana, who first met Su Mo, thought to herself: Housheng, Housheng, you can brag, but you must also be realistic, you can't blow it like this.
Ivan looked at Sumer as if he were looking at a pen, and he said to Schenkov: "I ask that this man be expelled from the conference room, and to talk to him is simply an insult to our intelligence. ”
Su Mo hurriedly said, "Oh? Captain Ivan is very confident, so do you dare to make a bet with me? ”
Ivan frowned: "What bet?" ”
Su Mo: "In this rescue operation, if I control the casualties to less than 3 people, you have to promise me one thing unconditionally in your personal name." ”
Ivan glanced sideways at him: "I don't mess around with fools. ”
Su Mo: "You don't dare? ”
Ivan: "Who wouldn't dare?!" ”
Su Mo: "Then do you bet or not?" One word. ”
The muscles on Ivan's face twitched, and he pointed to Su Mo's nose and said, "Boy, I don't mess with you." Don't say anything about the casualties, 3 people. If you can control the casualty rate at about 50% like me, I will look up to you. ”
Su Mo said calmly: "Three, just three, the words are here." ”
Seeing that Ivan was speechless, Su Mo asked, "So you bet?" ”
Ivan snorted and said heavily: "Bet on it!" But if you lose the bet, I want you to get out of Crescent City from now on and never come back, do you dare? ”
Su Mo smiled and said, "What am I afraid of? That's it. Remember, if you lose, promise me one thing, and don't break your promise when the time comes. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Ou Chenyu meaningfully.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Schenkov clasped the table again and said impatiently: "I repeat, this is a combat meeting, not a scene of your performance!" Get out of here! ”
Ivan was so angry that he had a headache, and secretly regretted why he was talking to a fool, he really surrendered his identity.
He turned back and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, let's continue to discuss the plan, leave this kid alone." ”
Schenkov didn't want to deal with Su Mo either, after all, this guy's statement is so outrageous that it's just a fantasy.
But he accidentally met Su Mo's gaze and found that the other party's gaze was firm and clear, revealing some kind of silent power.
Maybe I was touched by this gaze.
Maybe the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, the situation is rotten like this, what if you listen to a few more nonsense?
Schenkov calmed down and said, "We still have some time, take a few minutes for him to finish." Su Mo, you said that you have a way to reduce the casualties to 3 people, and maybe even to 0. Why don't you tell us what you think? ”
Su Mo raised three fingers again: "I can say ideas, but I have three requirements. ”
Schenkov: "Say. ”
Su Mo: "First, I came up with this plan, and if you want to adopt it, I must be the first executor. ”
This request was reasonable, and Schenkov agreed without thinking: "Of course, we will not plagiarize the crystallization of your wisdom. ”
Su Mo: "Second, in the process of the operation, I need the help of the city council to mobilize resources, including but not limited to assault operations, arrests, escorts, etc., which will also involve remote scheduling, and I need Mr. Acting Speaker to help me coordinate. ”
Schenkov nodded: "No problem, as long as the plan itself is reasonable, I will use all resources to help you, whether it is personnel, equipment, or funds." You don't have to worry about off-site scheduling, I will take care of the coordination. ”
Sumer: "Third, I want a legal permission to kill. ”
This sentence puzzled Schenkov: "What is the legal right to kill?" ”
Sumer: "Meaning, in this plan, I'm going to kill several people. ”
"Wait." Schenkov interrupted him and asked suspiciously, "You mean, you're going to kill people other than the crownest mob?" ”
Sumer: "Yes. ”
Schenkov was confused: "I don't understand, rescue is rescue, why kill unrelated?" ”
Ou Chenyu finally found a chance to interject, and said mockingly: "This guy is just grandstanding, don't listen to him." Let's go back to the assault plan, I'd like to."
Su Mo interrupted: "The people I'm going to kill may have nothing to do with the hijacking itself, but by killing them, I can turn the situation around." ”
These words attracted Schenkov's attention again, and he motioned for Ou Chenyu to be quiet.
Ou Chenyu could only close his mouth and sit there aggrieved.
Schenkov: "Sumer, you continue. ”
Su Mo: "First of all, I can say responsibly that the people I want to kill are not good people, and they are innocent, but there is no evidence to judge them at the moment. ”
"This means that they are 'innocents' in the legal sense, and my actions are premeditated murder. But I don't want to be held accountable for this, so I need a killing authority to avoid a trial after the fact. ”
Schenkov frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Please tell me more details, what do you want me to do?" ”
Su Mo: "For example, after I kill someone, you pardon me in the name of the city council and absolve me of all my crimes." ”
Schenkov looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid not. There are many conditions for forgiveness. If you are convicted of first-degree murder and want to be pardoned, why do you have to go to jail for several years first. ”
Su Mo: "It's okay, there's a second way. In the name of the Acting Speaker, you ordered the Sheriff's Bureau to issue an arrest warrant in advance for the person I was going to kill, specifically stating whether he was alive or dead. ”
"In this way, my act of killing them is to execute a wanted warrant, which is protected by the law, and I am naturally not guilty."
That's a good idea, Schenkov immediately replied, "That's fine, I can assure you." ”
He also specifically mocked and added: "The director of the State Administration of Public Security, Kitahara Hayabusa, is now lying in the ICU and pretending to be dead, and I don't even need to consult him." ”
Sumer: "Okay, it looks like we've reached a preliminary consensus. ”
Schenkov: "Can you tell me about your plan?" ”
Su Mo smiled mysteriously: "Yes." It's not complicated, my plan is "
