Outside the emergency room.
Jiang Chen sat on the seat outside the door with a gloomy expression.
No one dared to approach him, except for the four soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeleton combat uniforms. Streamlined armor covered his chest and back. Four soldiers held their rifles around their waists and stood ready to protect him. They used sharp eyes to check the people approaching... If anyone dared to see this posture, If you get close.
Assassination in the street.
When such an accident happened, Ivan said nothing and took the initiative to hand over his military rank, but Jiang Chen threw it back to him.
Ivan can't be blamed for this. Crescent Island is hundreds of kilometers away from Koro Island, and it only took ten minutes from the incident to the end. Those mercenaries also entered the country as tourists, and the weapons and equipment they used were smuggled into the country on fishing boats flying the flag of the new country.
Although angry, Jiang Chen did not express his anger. Taking your anger out on your own people is the most stupid and useless choice.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital walked past him cautiously, fearing to disturb the god of plague who looked obviously unkind.
At this time, a soldier with a rifle on his chest came from the corner of the stairs, stopped in front of Jiang Chen, leaned down and whispered.
"Four pedestrians were injured, and one died after rescue efforts failed. Eight police officers were injured, and two of them died after rescue efforts failed. The other four police officers died from the C4 explosion..."
The cold casualty figures did not make any waves in Jiang Chen's heart. After the soldier finished speaking, he only asked lightly.
"Who is the murderer?"
"According to reliable evidence, the perpetrator is the Arrow Military Company. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of New Zealand has lodged a protest against the Madagascar government and hopes that they can punish the murderer..."
But everyone knows that this kind of painless protest is of no use. It's not that Madagascar doesn't want to deal with these troubles, it's simply because their government troops may not be able to defeat these battle-hardened mercenaries.
Forced by this, these poor countries basically turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of illegal armed forces parasitic in their own hinterlands overseas. As long as they do not cause trouble in the country, their legality does not matter.
"I'm asking about the person behind the scenes." Jiang Chen said calmly.
"... Sorry, no one was caught alive. But the departure direction of the fleeing ship was Philippine waters, and our speedboat was blocked by the Philippine Coast Guard ship at the Philippine border." The soldier lowered his head.
The fishing boat that released the helicopter immediately fled to the border of New Zealand after receiving the warning, although Crescent Island immediately sent a speedboat to pursue it. But after the other party escaped into the Philippines, the pursuers of Xinghuan Trading had no choice but to stop their pursuit.
Judging from the Philippine Coast Guard ship's indifference to the group of militants, it can almost be concluded that the Philippines was the mastermind behind the kidnapping. The only trouble is that there is no evidence, and hiring mercenaries to do dirty work is basically impossible to catch.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes.
He is reflecting on his responsibilities.
The troops deployed on Crescent Island can protect the new country as solidly as an iron barrel. But he neglected the intelligence side of things. The spies from the Willy Society had actually warned him, but he never took it to heart. It was only now that he realized the seriousness of the problem. The national security of the new country was like a layer of window paper that could be broken with just one poke. Extensively absorbing immigrants will undoubtedly worsen the security situation. He actually ignored this issue in the past.
An intelligence department must be established as soon as possible! Before the security situation deteriorates further.
Aisha...
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the closed door, and Jiang Chen felt his heart throb.
idiot. Why are you trying to be tough when you're already injured like that... So what if a few mice escape
At the corner of the corridor, Zhang Yaping came over with a bouquet in his hand.
Looking at Jiang Chen with a gloomy expression, he sighed.
"Carnation, bring it to the patient for me. This happened... I'm sorry."
"I will establish the National Security Bureau as soon as possible." Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Zhang Yaping was stunned and sighed.
"So best."
After patting Jiang Chen on the shoulder, Zhang Yaping didn't know what else to comfort him, so he put the bouquet on the seat, turned around and walked away.
"Execution." Jiang Chen said calmly.
Zhang Yaping stopped, turned around, and looked at Jiang Chen's face in disbelief.
"Died in the fire. All 41 prisoners died." Jiang Chen said calmly.
"You're crazy!"
"The electrical circuits are aging, the firefighting equipment is in disrepair, and there were security riots in New Zealand that day. You issued a statement to express regret and condolences."
"This is impossible! What a coincidence! I know you are sad, but there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the Philippines, and even if it was done by them, we cannot retaliate by executing prisoners of war. We are civilized Country! The international image we managed to manage—"
"You go and do it." Jiang Chen tilted his head and said casually to the soldiers beside him.
"Yes." The soldier closest to Jiang Chen nodded and left after taking the order.
Zhang Yaping stared blankly at the leaving soldiers and opened his mouth to say something. But he knew the soldier wouldn't listen to him.
This lunatic, what problem can be solved by killing a few prisoners of war? In this way, the international community will side with the Philippines. 41 lives! Defenseless prisoners! Infamous crimes against humanity! Even if they wage war against us, they will be considered excusable.
It would be better to say that if the new country really executed these 41 prisoners. On the contrary, it played into the hands of the Philippines.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Chen said softly.
The soldier stopped and turned around.
"Sir?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and said slowly: "Take it easy beforehand."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Yaping breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was about to collapse.
"Thank God you've finally come to your senses."
Jiang Chen glanced at him and said nothing.
Is it really
But he suddenly felt. Killing a few prisoners to vent your anger is not only too cheap, but also too cheap for those people.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and Jiang Chen's eyes shone with coldness.
Looking at Jiang Chen who was silent, Zhang Yaping felt a little numb on his back.
... ...
A video shot by a foreign tourist appeared online.
The screen was shaking violently, but you could vaguely see a helicopter dragging an "Iron Man" wearing steel armor as it roared over the side of the road. The people standing on the plane fired at the "Iron Man" with machine guns, but they failed to injure him at all.
The video only captured the helicopter dragging the armor and flying away from Koro Island. It failed to capture the steel armor being dragged out of the water and where the helicopter finally flew. People have speculated on the identity of this "Iron Man" and the origin and ending of the story.
No one knows the outcome, but the cause is traceable.
In connection with the gun battle that took place on the streets of Coro City that day, many media believed that there was a connection between the two.
However, the New Zealand government strictly blocked information about the reasons for the shootout. It was only revealed that two groups of robbers planned a bank robbery, leading public opinion away from the truth. Although there are doubts about many doubts in the incident, people have to accept this fact and then use their imagination to derive derivation of this fact.
Because the confrontation between the steel armor and the machine gunner was very Hollywood-style, the hidden story behind the story was complicated and confusing, and the official remained silent on the truth. The video had a very high click rate on other video websites, and even became a hot topic on the Internet for a while. Even Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. posted a joking status on Facebook.
