Chapter 224 Government Negotiations

Everyone's face showed panic, but in the face of the black muzzle around, no one dared to make a sound and tried their best to suppress their fears. There are even parents with children who cover the child's mouth in their arms for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

As the big man waved his hand, several people were escorted from behind, such as Ivanov and Captain Keynes, as well as Princess Betty and Senator Rich.

"Everyone listens. We only want to achieve our goal and don't want to hurt anyone. As long as you are obedient and don't try to do anything, I promise you will be fine. However, if someone tries to cause trouble, we won't be polite!"

After saying these words, the big man immediately withdrew with these important prisoners. A thin man of medium height took his place, commanded several soldiers, drove all the guests together, about hundreds of people, and then made them squat down. Then he took out a few passenger registration forms, handed them to the three soldiers next to him, and began to compare them one by one to check the number of people.

Zhang Ping and Lin Meilin and several people were also driven to a corner and saw several soldiers slowly approaching. Lin Meilin turned pale, pulled Zhang Ping's arm nervously, and stammered, "Zhang Ping, what should we do? They, they won't do anything to us, will they?"

Zhang Ping took her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, there should be no problem. Didn't they also say that as long as they achieve their goal, they will naturally not embarrass us.

While comforting Lin Meilin, Zhang Ping carefully observed the dynamics around her. This restaurant has three entrances, each of which is guarded by two soldiers. In addition to the thin man in the front rostrum, there are also three big men staring at the audience. In addition to the three soldiers, there should be as many as 13 soldiers in this way.

However, the big man at the beginning escorted the prisoners away. The number of people in his hands should be at least 3 or more. In addition, there are other key points such as controlling gambling boats and other places. I'm afraid there are at least 30 people. Zhang Ping felt very tricky for a moment, and he also had some regrets in his heart. He shouldn't have come in to see the situation. It would be great if he took this opportunity to collect those kinds of jewelry. Hey, this good man still can't do more.

With a few slanders in his heart, Zhang Ping pretended to be at a loss, but he secretly looked at the environment of the restaurant, hoping to find a way out as soon as possible.

At this time, the hall where the jewelry was auctioned yesterday has been sorted into a press release site. Ivanov and these important figures, with a dull look, were tied to a chair and facing the camera. At this time, a young man with glasses clapped his hands and said, "Okay, general, it's time to talk."

The big man picked up a phone and opened his mouth and said, "Secretary Gates, I'm General Dampeel. Do you still remember?"

There was a voice on the phone: "General Damper? I don't care who you are, release all the hostages on the Black Silk gambling ship as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"

"Haha, the consequences. Let me tell you what the consequences are. In five minutes, you can turn on the Internet and see what happened? General Dampier put down the phone and sneered, "Bill, prepare for the Internet, live broadcast!"

Bill, the young man with glasses, answered and began to fiddle with the computer on the table.

Pentagon, Washington, USA.

Defense Secretary Gates is walking nervously. The long oval table is full of people, and he is having a headache over the gambling boat hijacking a few minutes ago. On the screen is an Internet picture, which clearly shows the bound footage of Ivanov, Princess Betty and Senator Rich.

"The United States must not negotiate with terrorists. This is our bottom line!"

"Hundreds of hostages, why can't we negotiate and release Rabin? We can still catch them back, but can these hundreds of lives be saved?"

"We took so much effort to catch Rabin back. If we let him go, it will cause a wider terrorist attack on the United States."

"This is a compromise. Compromising with terrorists is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. You can never agree.

"You know, this is no longer the business of the United States. The British have just said that if the Americans do not agree, they will act independently."

Secretary Gates listened to the discussion and shouted fiercely, "Enough, stop talking. Where's Mike? Why haven't you seen him move yet?

"Mike, I'm afraid I'm still lying on the ** of a beautiful woman. Let me see, this White Shark Commando is still disbanded. At the critical moment, it is always thin. A major admiral said with contempt.

"Disband? How can it be that it costs so much money for taxpayers? Is it just a decoration? A lazy voice sounded, and Gates smiled with relief on his face and shouted, "Mike, why did you come here? Your old opponent Danpiel won't wait for you!"

Dan Peel and Mike, both of whom were once core members of the White Shark Commando of the American elite force, were responsible for all matters related to terrorist operations. But three years ago, Dampir was transferred for no reason and was investigated. It was Mike who investigated him. Then the whole thing came to an end and ended. A few days later, Damier also disappeared and didn't know where to go.

In the next three years, Mike has made many achievements. Now he is the captain of the White Shark Commando, the rank of major general, and the direct leader of the Minister of Defense. His power is so great that it is eye-catching, which makes many people jealous. Rear Admiral Gus is one of them.

Minister Gates briefly introduced the situation on the gambling boat. According to what they know, there are many important people on the gambling boat now, and there are also some rare treasures. Now these robbers have three requirements:

First: Release the terrorist Rabin. This Rabin is the number two al-Qaeda figure that has been a headache for Americans for many years. According to the wire report, it is related to many terrorist cases. He was captured from Libya by the White Shark Commando six months ago and is currently being held in prison.

Second: Ask for a ransom of $1 billion and remit it to the Swiss bank.

Third: Request to stop the oppression of al-Qaeda, unfreeze the bank accounts of related people, etc.

In addition to the second one, these three requirements can be agreed. The first and third items have touched the bottom line of Americans and must not be agreed. But now these gangs have put the picture of the hostage being tied up on the Internet, and even claim that if there is no movement within 5 hours, they will live broadcast the scene of killing the hostages on the Internet.

Due to the complexity of the guests on the gambling ship, many are not American citizens. The phone calls one after another have shown how much pressure the Pentagon is under now. U.S. President Oba and Secretary of State Sheila will also come immediately.

Minister Gates said to Mike, "Dan Peel knows a lot about our counter-terrorism and must have made some arrangements for the White Shark Commando. The deadline given to us is 5 hours. I ask you to board the ship within 4 and a half hours. Can you do it?

Mike showed a look of embarrassment. He was very clear about Dampeer's ability, but he should still accept it. At least he should try again.

Black Silk gambling ship, monitoring room. General Damier sat in a chair, stared at the hostages on the screen, and issued an order: "Bry me the people who participated in the jewelry gambling game yesterday. Note that I'm afraid that there are several people who have two problems. Be careful to take care of them. Maguire, how's the investigation on the gambling ship?

A voice came from the walkie-talkie: "General, there is another floor. The rest have been searched, and all the guests have been escorted to the restaurant."

"Very good. After all the searches were completed, two people were left on each floor, and the rest came back."

"Received!"

At this time, another voice came from the walkie-talkie: "General, we have four fewer people than the list. They are Liu Dawu, Xu Wei and Ili on the C floor, and another person is Ye Lina on the D floor, who is Ivanov's girlfriend!"

"Received. Maguire, there are still four people who haven't entered the net. Search again carefully. Note that Liu Dawu and Yili both participated in yesterday's gambling game and have kung fu. You should be careful when you act.

"Don't worry, General. The brothers who just participated in the operation are definitely the elite among the elites. Even if the White Shark Commando comes, it will be for nothing. Maguire's voice in the walkie-talkie seemed very arrogant. Damier was not angry, but also smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, continue as planned!"

In the room on the C floor, Liu Dawu and the other three are discussing countermeasures. After getting the walkie-talkie, they were ready to go back to meet Zhang Ping. But as soon as I went down the stairs, I found that there were soldiers heavily armed in front of me, searching room by room. Even the two sick people did not let go and forcibly escorted them out with the butt of a gun.

Liu Dawu and the three of them hid in the corner of a utility room and stared at the door alertly. After a while, a soldier opened the door of the utility room, glanced around and left. Unexpectedly, there were three people hiding behind the pile of debris.

"Yili, you and Xu Wei stay here. Can I go out and have a look?" It's not a way to hide here all the time. Liu Dawu took care of himself and wanted to find an opportunity. Eli shook her head and said, "I'm afraid all the floors have been blocked now. In my opinion, it's better to do it directly. With your and my skills, take advantage of them now to disperse and clean them up one by one.

Xu Wei didn't want Liu Dawu to leave like this, and stared at him with some resentful eyes. Liu Dawu thought about it carefully, and what Ili said was also reasonable. Well, let's do it!

At this time, I heard someone talking outside. The soldier who had just searched turned his back to the utility room and was reporting the situation in the walkie-talkie: "The inspection on the B floor is over. There is no abnormality!"

Ellie nodded to Liu Dawu and hid it separately. Then Xu Wei whispered softly, which happened to be heard by the soldiers outside. The soldier was stared, turned his head, and pushed the door open with a gun vigilantly. He saw Xu Wei shrinking into a ball in fear in the corner. The soldier smiled ferociously and scolded, "Stand up and walk slowly!"

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind above his head. The soldier felt wrong and was about to retreat. A big foot stretched out behind the door and kicked into his gun. The submachine gun fell to the ground. Before he could react, he was hit hard in the middle of his head, and his body shook and fell to the ground.

Yili jumped to the ground, looked at Liu Dawu's figure, and said with a smile, "Dawu, it seems that you are really an actor. Now you have a chance to warm up."

Liu Dawu laughed and did not hesitate. He had already changed the soldier's clothes to himself.
