Alpha stood in the hall sweating profusely. Continuous misses had made him suffer unprecedented frustration.
Damn it! Ever since I met that little girl named Tang Xiaoxiao, nothing good has happened. First, she ran away with her coat, and before leaving, she was killed and injured by an explosion. Now I didn't expect the Chinese side to react so quickly. At dawn, it was already A large number of warships gathered to surround the Oriental Princess. Not only did so many brothers in the regiment die, but they actually rescued most of the hostages!
Seeing that there were more than a hundred hostages left on the ship, Alpha's face turned dark. This time, he really had to compensate his grandma's family. There were still more than a hundred hostages left, which would undoubtedly reduce his bargaining chips with them. I don’t know if employers will pay the remaining $200 million.
"Okay, Bill, there is no need to search for that Tang Xiaoxiao anymore. We are dealing with the Chinese side now. Turn on the communicator, and I will speak directly to their highest officer." Alpha calmed down the anger on his face and pretended to be calm. "In addition, turn on the special communicator, send an emergency signal, tell the king... that our mission has failed, and let the people from the logistics department be on the bottom of the sea at any time."
"Yes! Head."
Taking the communicator, Alpha weighed it in his hand a few times and said to a wretched man next to him, "Dudin, go up to the deck and signal the international flag and tell them that all warships and aircraft must evacuate to At a distance of 20 nautical miles, I want to speak to their commander."
"Yes, head." The wretched Du Ding responded, took out two small flags from his arms, and walked out directly.
The so-called semaphore is an internationally accepted method of communication at sea. Because each ship has different signals and communication capabilities, communicators are rarely used. Semaphore is basically used. Each ship has dedicated sailors to use it. Semaphore, used for communication at sea.
On the calm and vast sea level, the white horizon is like a straight line, dividing the blue of the sea and the clearness of the sky. On the sea level not far away, several warships and helicopters are staying. There, standing proudly like a group of guards, in this intersection of white and blue, the bright red five-star (river crab) red flag is like a majestic mountain standing tall, giving the Chinese people a strong sense of pride and self-confidence.
Looking at the flag fluttering in the distance, Du Ding took a deep breath, walked to the most conspicuous position on the deck with a look of death, picked up the flag in his hand, and waved it resolutely, conveying a message to the warship: stay away from the ship 20 nautical miles away, Otherwise, we will break up the vote and ask your commander to use the communicator to talk to us.
The navy officers in charge of reading the semaphore saw the signal transmitted here and trotted over quickly, "Report sir! The hijacked cruise ship used other signals to send a new signal, requiring us to retreat 20 nautical miles, otherwise we will destroy the hostages! In addition, they requested Speak to the commander!"
Su Zhiqi paused and did not make any answer. Instead, he turned to the adjutant with a serious face and asked, "Did you get any other useful information from the rescued hostages?"
The adjutant saluted and then replied, "Report to the chief! According to the information provided by the rescued hostages, there were more than 500 tourists hijacked this time. We just caught them off guard and rescued more than 300 people." people, but there are still more than a hundred tourists on the ship who are still being held hostage by the kidnappers. In addition, except for these tourists, basically all other service personnel on the ship have been killed. Only the captain, the first mate, and the seamen and more than 20 people are still alive. .”
Su Zhiqi nodded silently, then turned his gaze to Ji Tianhang and asked lightly, "Consultant Ji, do you want to know something?"
Ji Tianhang's eyes flashed with darkness, and then he asked casually, "Adjutant, there is a Miss Tang Xiaoxiao on the ship. Do you have any news about her?"
The adjutant recalled for a moment before replying, "Reporting to the disciplinary consultant, the rescued hostages knew about her... After the kidnappers hijacked her, they demanded a huge ransom of three billion US dollars from her family, but later Miss Tang Xiaoxiao suffered a lot. After shooting, they took advantage of the chaos and ran away. The reason why the robbers were so lax in guarding the hall was that they spent a lot of effort to hunt down this Miss Tang Xiaoxiao. However, when we counted the number of people just now, we did not find this Miss Tang Xiaoxiao. , so based on this, it can be concluded that Miss Tang Xiaoxiao should still be on the Oriental Princess cruise ship."
"Still on the ship?" Ji Tianhang's eyes showed a strange look, and then he smiled at Su Zhiqi and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Su, let's do our best to save the trapped hostages first. If the rescue cost is too high, let's see, we will There is no need to continue.”
Su Zhiqi's body trembled slightly. Ji Tianhang said this lightly. If the cost is too high, there is no need to continue... So, does that mean that more than two hundred lives on the ship can be given up? With such a simple sentence, you asked me to give up the lives of so many hostages. When the blame comes from above, who will be blamed? How many people die has nothing to do with me, Su Zhiqi, but if this incident delays my, Su Zhiqi's future...
Seemingly sensing Su Zhiqi's concerns, Ji Tianhang chuckled and patted Su Zhiqi's shoulder comfortingly, "Lieutenant Colonel Su, this is not my personal meaning, it is the central government's meaning... you should understand, right? The so-called non-toxic and non-husband, a real man Don’t you even have the courage to live in this world? If you feel that it is difficult to deal with, it would be easier. This kind of terrorist hostage-taking has a casualty index. Anyway, we have rescued more than 300 people. Hostage, if you report good news or bad news when the time comes, your promotion speed will never be slower than yours."
Seeing Su Zhiqi's extremely troubled expression, Ji Tianhang put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "As long as this group of terrorists can be eliminated, it will have an incomparable effect on improving our country's good international image, and even if we are willing to spend money to redeem it, Man, with the greed of this group of robbers, I'm afraid we have to pay at least several billion dollars. With so much money... we might as well increase our military spending. Isn't this better than redeeming a few useless family members? , isn’t it? So, now that we have rescued most of the hostages, the rest are irrelevant. Now for us, eliminating the robbers is far more important than rescuing the hostages, what do you think? "
As he spoke, Ji Tianhang lowered his voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Su, there is Tang Xiaoxiao, your Su family's sworn enemy, on that ship. I heard that at the last banquet in Caiyunjian, she gave you a severe blow." The Su family finally has such a good opportunity this time, do you still want to repay evil with kindness to save her?"
Such a sentence completely broke the last string of Su Zhiqi's reason. Thinking of the humiliation Tang Xiaoxiao brought to the Su family at that banquet, Su Zhiqi gritted his teeth, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said loudly, "Adjutant, connect the communicator, I want to talk to these terrorists!"
After the communicator was connected, the leaders of both sides who had their own thoughts fell silent. In the end, Su Zhiqi broke the silence uncontrollably, "I am Lieutenant Colonel Su Zhi, the highest officer in charge of this victory plan. I am employed by the true god." Members of the Corps, I advise you to surrender immediately and surrender, otherwise... I don't mind if you sink in this sea area with the Oriental Princess!"
Alpha smiled sinisterly, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, even if we sink in this sea, there will be so many Chinese people on the ship buried with us, so please stop being alarmist. I don't have time to chat with you here, and you want me to release the hostages." It's very simple. I have conditions: the ransom for everyone on board is five million U.S. dollars. Oh! By the way, there is also the beautiful Miss Tang Xiaoxiao. Her ransom price is higher—three billion U.S. dollars, please. You pay the ransom immediately, and I must see the money transferred to my Swiss bank account before noon!"
"You dream! Huh..." Su Zhiqi hung up the contactor with a bang.
Alpha, who also hung up the contact, turned completely gloomy, "These damn bastards, they saved more than 300 people... We need to give up these more than 100 hostages completely! - These damn politicians , we really can’t get a penny this time! They are so ruthless, they are ready to completely give up on the more than 100 lives of their own citizens! Come here, send a few people to lock these people up completely, and then contact us In terms of logistics, see if their submarine is ready. If it is, we will evacuate as soon as possible. Damn it, we will never accompany these guys to go crazy, they are a group of unreasonable lunatics!"
Just when the confrontation here was complete, Tang Yuanfeng and his adopted son Tang Jingchen had already taken a temporary special plane and hurried back to the country. Although Tang Xiaoxiao once mentioned that Tang Yuanfeng must not return to the country, at this critical moment, If he, a father, still stays in the United States and is busy working, isn't there something obviously wrong? Therefore, at this time, Tang Yuanfeng had to rush back to the country no matter how reluctant he was.
The plane stopped at the Donghai City Airport. Tang Yuanfeng and Tang Jingchen hurriedly got off the plane and went straight to the Donghai Municipal Government Office. With such a big mess happening here, Mr. Ji naturally couldn't sit idle and directly took charge of Donghai City. To stabilize the internal situation in Donghai City.
Tang Yuanfeng and Tang Jingchen came to see Mr. Ji.
Seeing the worried look on Tang Yuanfeng's face, Mr. Ji, who was sitting across from him, sighed slightly and said comfortingly, "I didn't expect such a big mess to happen this time. This True God Mercenary Group is a well-known terrorist force in the world. Unexpectedly, they would target China this time... Oh, what a troubled time. Yuanfeng, don't worry too much. Xiaoxiao is a lucky child. Ji people have their own destiny, and nothing will happen to her. .”
Tang Yuanfeng's face was full of sorrow and sadness. He kept rubbing his heart with one hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Ji, don't I know what my own daughter is like? This group of robbers, It was obvious that I was going to Xiaoxiao... Why did I create such a large family fortune? Isn't it for this girl? The robbers asked me for a ransom of three billion US dollars, so I had no choice but to accept my fate. If it’s gone, I can still earn more, but this is the only daughter I have left!”
There was a deep look in Mr. Ji's eyes, and there was a faint threat in those eyes, and he scolded sternly, "Yuanfeng, are you confused? Do you really want to give the kidnappers a ransom of three billion US dollars? This is not a small matter. Numbers! As long as they don’t get the money, Xiaoxiao still has a chance to survive. If they really get the money... do you think Xiaoxiao can survive? "
"That's my only daughter! If I don't do this, what can I do?" Tang Yuanfeng pretended to be confused, but still had the same tone of grief, "Mr. Ji, I asked Jing Chen to check it out. Well, the credibility of this True God Mercenary Group is quite good, and they have never done anything like getting money and then throwing away votes. Now that things have happened... I can only take a gamble."
Mr. Ji was so angry that he couldn't speak. He said angrily with a sullen face, "Three billion US dollars is not a small sum. Even if you, Tang Yuanfeng, can take it out in a short while, right?"
Tang Yuanfeng cast a faint sneer in his eyes, then disappeared, and cast his "loving and doting" gaze on Tang Jingchen who was sitting beside him, "Don't worry, Mr. Ji. Fortunately, my adopted son Tang Jingchen has met an American friend, Cathy. ·Miss Badnall, the Badnall family has agreed to acquire some of my properties at a low price... I can sell some of these properties at a low price, and I should be able to make up the amount."
"Oh?" The sharp edge in Mr. Ji's eyes has gradually emerged, and he looked at Tang Jingchen who was sitting there with a look of astonishment on his face, "It's really a coincidence... your adopted son actually has such a good relationship with a wealthy family in the United States." Relationship’ah…”
Tang Jingchen was completely stunned there. He originally thought he was just accompanying Tang Yuanfeng to urge the Donghai Municipal Government. Who could have imagined that he would meet the second-largest figure in Chinese politics here, Mr. Ji... The most important thing is that Tang Yuanfeng actually tricked himself. He came in and completely exposed his son to Mr. Ji!
Who doesn't know that what Mr. Ji hates most is colluding with foreign forces, and his "matchmaking" this time may involve him...
Seeing Mr. Ji's eyes, Tang Yuanfeng didn't seem to notice, but showed a proud smile, "Mr. Ji, this kid is pretty good, isn't he? Originally, before Xiaoxiao grew up, I planned to hand over the family fortune to Jing Chen, a kid I’m here to inherit... This time, I don’t know if Xiaoxiao can survive. If there is an emergency, let this kid Jing Chen inherit my family business.”
"Dad, don't say such things. As long as the ransom is paid, I believe Xiaoxiao will be fine." Tang Jingchen held Tang Yuanfeng's arm with concern, "Dad, is your heart okay? Please be careful with your body..."
Tang Yuanfeng smiled bitterly, glanced at Mr. Ji and Tang Jingchen, and fell completely silent. The answer and result he wanted had been obtained, and that was the next thing.
"Is it almost time?" On the warship, Ji Tianhang raised his wrist and said calmly, "We have contacted this group of terrorists many times, but they still refuse to surrender. It is necessary to take the last resort."
In the so-called contact, the two sides did not reach any peace talks on this kidnapping incident. Instead, Su Zhiqi has been arguing with the kidnappers. The so-called negotiations are just a show. What they want is not to rescue the hostages, but to eliminate this terror. Molecules, by the way... eliminate people they don't want to see.
Su Zhiqi nodded slightly and said loudly, "It's almost time. All our efforts have been done. It's because these terrorists are so obsessed with it, no wonder we are ruthless... Come here, pass the order, order the mxk-98 model micro The missiles are loaded, knowing that you will follow my final orders and directly eliminate all the terrorists on that ship!"
Hearing this, the adjutant beside him turned green. He naturally knew how powerful this type of micro missile was. Once this type of missile was launched, it would not only destroy the dozens of robbers, but also the dozens of robbers. The lives of nearly two hundred innocent civilians on the Oriental Princess were completely lost!
As a soldier, he can be merciless to the robbers, but he cannot launch missiles at unarmed civilians. This is his conscience as a soldier! As a Chinese, he couldn't helplessly watch those two hundred lives fading before his eyes like fireworks, and the so-called "all efforts" made by his superiors were just to argue with the kidnappers...
As a soldier, he cannot accept such an order!
"Report, sir!" the adjutant straightened his body and chest, and said loudly, "I think there is a possibility that the hostages on the ship will be rescued. I am willing to sneak aboard the ship with a small team and rescue all the hostages!"
Su Zhiqi and Ji Tianhang both had a flash of displeasure at this adjutant with a sense of justice. Su Zhiqi frowned and reprimanded sternly, "Shut up! It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. You have no right to object to any order in front of me." !”
There was a hint of stubbornness and stubbornness in the adjutant's eyes, "I'm sorry, chief! As a soldier, I cannot accept such an order to kill civilians indiscriminately!"
Su Zhiqi was finally completely annoyed by such an adjutant. He grabbed the hat on his head and threw it directly on the adjutant's face. "You bastard! How dare you disobey military orders? Come on, drag him down. When you return to land, hand him over." Court-martial! Pass my order, load the mxk-98 micro missile, aim it at the Oriental Princess, and launch! Any non-commissioned officers who disobey the order will be sent to the military court and severely punished!"
A sad look flashed in the adjutant's eyes, and he allowed the two military police sergeants to tie him up. Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and he suddenly roared hysterically, like a mad lion, "Su Zhiqi, You are looking down on human life, you are looking down upon human life! The people on that ship are our compatriots, our citizens! You actually gave up two hundred lives like this... You executioner, you don't deserve to die!"
Su Zhiqi had long been dissatisfied with this exceptionally outstanding and outstanding adjutant. Now that he had finally caught him, a sneer rose involuntarily at the corner of his lips. He moved his lips to the adjutant's ear and whispered, "I'm just looking at people's lives." , what can you do to me? Let me tell you, if you have the ability, sit in my position, you may be able to give orders on my behalf and save these people... Tsk, but it's a pity, you are just an adjutant, even if You are a soldier who came from the special forces. Even if you have many achievements in battle, compared to me, you are just a scum!"
"If you still don't understand, then let me tell you more straightforwardly. This is an order from above, and it is also an order from me, Su Zhiqi... Because some people, including me, don't want someone on this cruise ship to survive. Do you understand?—Idiot!”
The adjutant's eyes were red and he stared at Su Zhiqi, as if he couldn't believe such words.
"Report to the chief! The missile is loaded, can it be launched?!" a noncommissioned officer saluted and asked loudly.
Su Zhiqi took a deep breath and cast his gaze at the behemoth not far away. Thinking that the thorn in the Su family's side was about to die in his own hands, a perverted pleasure surged in his heart. He glanced at Ji Tianhang, and the two looked at each other. And laugh.
"Okay, the missile is aimed at the Oriental Princess cruise ship - launch!"
"The mxk-98 micro missile is ready, 3, 2, 1, launch!"
Accompanied by a violent cracking sound, a black track cut through everyone's sight, leaving a beautiful arc in the air, running towards the Oriental Princess in the distance!
There was only a loud bang, and the white hull of the Oriental Princess suddenly exploded, bringing with it bursts of fire and billowing smoke. The entire cruise ship lit up like a huge fireball, and the rumble was deafening!
The mxk-98 micro missile is not an important missile. On the contrary, it has a short range and is rarely used in modern military applications. However, it does have one advantage that is enough to make Su Zhiqi's eyes warm - it is powerful. Yes, this type of micro missile is enough to match more than 20 tons of TNT explosives, and it is also enough to completely blow up the Oriental Princess into a puddle of molten steel.
If Su Zhiqi was sincere enough to rescue, he should have discovered at this moment that in fact, in addition to the nearly two hundred hostages on the Oriental Princess, dozens of robbers had all evacuated from the sonic stealth submarine on the bottom of the sea. The two hundred hostages were only hijacked. The gangsters just locked themselves in the hall and couldn't get out. It's a pity that Su Zhiqi and Ji Tianhang only want someone on this ship to die, and they won't pay attention to this at all.
In the huge explosion and flames, more than two hundred people were swallowed up in an instant, and not even their bones were left behind. Nearly two hundred lives were destroyed alive by the conspiracy.
Seeing the huge flames engulfing the entire Oriental Princess, and the entire ship slowly sinking, Ji Tianhang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with Su Zhiqi, and couldn't help but reveal a reassuring smile: Tang Xiaoxiao, this dangerous woman, can finally Even if they die, they can feel at ease.
"No! No..." Yu Lingye's eyes were red, and he screamed heartbreakingly. He slumped on the deck, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks... He hurriedly took a sea boat to catch up. When he came, he happened to see the missile being launched and the ship destroyed and people killed.
Even a fool will understand what happened when he saw this scene.
