The huge UH-60 slowly stopped in the open space, and the heavily armed SOG special operations team members jumped out of the cabin and trotted all the way into the building.
At this time, the anti-terrorism center building was filled with an inexplicably tense atmosphere. There were hurried soldiers everywhere carrying documents and shuttling through various offices.
Colonel Reid, the commander of the special operations group, strode up to the third floor carrying his HK 417 reconnaissance automatic rifle, then walked to the door of a conference room and pushed open the door.
"Red, are you here?"
Major General Green, director of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, stood beside several senior officers and staff, raised his hand and waved to his proud subordinates: "Come here, tonight is going to be a troublesome night."
"General, my people are fully prepared. This time I have brought thirty-six elite members. I believe I can deal with those daring guys." Colonel Reid said confidently.
Green patted his old subordinate heavily on the shoulder: "Well, I asked you to come here because I want to hand over this crisis management task to you. According to the information from the intelligence department, the organization that invaded Castle Island is called the Gravedigger. Now
The news media seems to have smelled something, and I don’t want to take measures only after the matter is made public. That will make our military lose all face, and it will also bring disgrace to the royal family.”
"I read all the information on the road, and I also got the architectural drawings of the castle." Colonel Reid said: "My people will be divided into three small teams to attack the island from three locations. First, one of my ten
The two-person team will carry a submersible and land on the island behind the castle. At the same time, two A129 armed helicopters will be dispatched to cover the air. A UH-60 will airborne and attack directly on the top of the castle. Another group will come from here...
"
He pointed to the architectural drawings on the table and said: "This is a secret passage leading to the north of the castle. It will be more secretive to attack there."
"Well, you are an expert in special operations. I will not interfere with your command, but what I require is that those damn bastards must be dealt with quickly and accurately. There are more than two hundred distinguished guests inside now, and
Our Highness Gustave and Princess Charlotte of the Kingdom of Comoros must ensure the safety of His Highness Gustave and the Princess."
"No problem, General!" Rhett saluted and was about to leave the organization for action.
Suddenly, a plump and tall female lieutenant burst into the conference room.
"General! There's an emergency!" She grabbed the remote control on the table and pressed the screen.
A screen quickly popped up above.
A man wearing a silicone mask appears on the screen.
Green asked the female lieutenant next to him in a low voice: "Linda, what's going on?"
"It's a link sent from inside the castle. The other party claims to be the leader of the gravediggers and requests to talk to us." Lieutenant Linda said.
"General Green." The masked man called Green's name directly, "I think if I guess correctly, you should be solely responsible for tonight's crisis management operation, right? I hope I didn't find the wrong person."
"You found the wrong person, Mr. Kidnapper." Green said: "Maybe I should call you a KB element. You openly invaded a banquet hosted by the royal family on the territory of a sovereign country. I think you must not know the consequences of doing so."
"Of course I know the consequences." The masked man laughed strangely, his voice was like a hoarse drake, and sounded very awkward, "But I think we should talk about the deal between us first, as for the other things
, I’ll leave it to you later, now I’m going to tell you my bargaining chip, and then you can see what you can exchange for it.”
The corners of Green's eyes twitched slightly, and he had a hunch that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Communication has been cut off, there seems to be a problem with the power system, and there is currently no news about anything on Castle Island.
Maybe it would be helpful to listen to what Mr. Mask has to say.
In the face of a crisis, negotiation may also be an option.
"We will not negotiate with KB elements, let alone make deals." Although Green had made up his mind in his heart, he still used official rhetoric.
"No, no, no, you may not even know what happened." The masked man raised his black-gloved hand, waved his index finger in front of the screen and said, "I think you'd better listen to what I have in my hand.
, make the final decision. Dear Mr. General, you have served for a long time. Information shows that you will soon be promoted to lieutenant general and serve as deputy minister of defense. You don’t want to be humiliated because of your hasty decision tonight.
Forced to retire?"
Major General Green looked calm on the surface, but he was already shaking inside.
It seems that the other party has done enough homework, including who will come to deal with the crisis, as well as his own information, etc.
"The man next to you is Colonel Red. If I guess correctly, he is the commander of SOG, right?" The masked man seemed very proud of his intelligence work, "I think you must be discussing how to invade the castle and rescue him.
Hostages, right?”
Having said this, Mian suddenly leaned forward, and his lifeless mask occupied the huge screen.
This guy is a cautious person. He wears a scarf around his neck. When he raised his hand just now, it showed that he was wearing gloves. His voice was processed by software, leaving no loopholes for tracing his identity.
"I can think of everything you can think of. Please don't be clever in front of me. I think you must have thought about breaking in from waterways, underground, and from the air. I won't tell you what kind of defenses I have deployed on the island for now.
, but I can tell you my most important trump card."
As he spoke, he stood up, moved his position, put the camera behind him, and then moved the camera.
A man tied to a chair appeared in the camera while twisting his body. His body was covered with small yellow squares, and the small squares were connected with red, blue and green wires. The wires were concentrated on a strange figure on his chest.
The device looks like a PAD with numbers jumping on it.
"Your Highness Gustav!"
Everyone present took a breath of air.
The man tied to the chair is officially Prince Gustav.
With so many bodyguards around the prince, how could he fall into the hands of the gravedigger so quickly?
Green's heart sank a little bit. He had thought that with so many bodyguards and policemen inside, it would last for more than half an hour. The castle was so big that he could hold on to any place he wanted.
However, I really underestimated the gravedigger.
"What exactly do you want?" Major Green heard the sound of his teeth being gritted. As a soldier, he felt humiliated by bowing his head to a violent soldier.
"I have no grudges against your royal family or this country, so the purpose of my coming here this time is not to cause any KB incident. To be precise, I am here to find someone." The masked man said, "My target is Charlotte.
Princess Te, and one of her bodyguards, once I finish my work and take away these two people, I will immediately release all the hostages, including His Royal Highness Prince Gustav."
At this point, he paused.
He added: "One more thing, now that all the guests in the castle are in my hands, the first request I make to you is to immediately evacuate the approaching mechanized company of your National Defense Force from the vicinity of the island and let Rhett
It would be good for everyone if the colonel gives up the dangerous offensive ideas in his mind. Please do not challenge my bottom line, otherwise I will give you the corpses of several guests."
After saying that, the screen flashed and then went out.
