Chapter 742 Blackmail
Colonel Lazaro seemed a little embarrassed about Liu Cheng's gratitude, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After four years at the China Army Academy, he naturally could hear that Liu Cheng's gratitude came from the heart. The Chinese seemed to have a natural tradition of hospitality to outsiders. Not only did Lazaro not encounter any discrimination because he came from a poor country, but he was often helped by Chinese classmates. His Chinese was taught step by step by step by step for four years. With his current fluent Mandarin, even if Lazaro did not join the army, he could still find a good position in the company opened in Tanzania and become a rare golden collar in Tanzania.
However, Lazaro is doing very well in the Tanzanian People's Defense Forces. He has climbed to the position of colonel in his early thirties. Judging from the current close cooperation between Tanzania and China, a top student like him who has studied in China will enter the fast lane of military promotion. Maybe he has a position in the next two escorts. It can be said that his four years in China have deeply changed Lazaro's life.
"You're welcome, Colonel Liu, just a little thing," Colonel Lazaro said embarrassedly, "If our Chinese brothers have such a big deal, if even these little things cannot be done well, then I really have no shame to see you."
Soon, the 164th Land Brigade Assault Battalion and the Special Forces Brigade completed the unloading of personnel and equipment. The Y-20 aircraft group took off with a bang and disappeared into the blue sky. They will stay at an air base in Tanzania near Duoduoma and refuel. After nightfall, they will return to China. In order to transport the 164th Brigade's combat unit to Tanzania, the Air Force dispatched more than ten Y-20 strategic transport aircraft. Now there are only more than forty Y-20 strategic transport aircraft in the entire Air Force. In this troublesome situation, the military will not place such a large strategic force thousands of miles away.
Liu Cheng quickly established a temporary command center based on Mpanda, the Tanzanian People's Defense Force station. Two Wingshode drones were released and began to investigate in detail information near the location sent by the missing captain Liu Yunhan's GPS locator.
The helicopter team concentrated in the China-Africa Group flew to the Tanzanian People's Defense Forces station to disguise and hide and standby, waiting for the opportunity to attack. What Zhao Cheng did not expect was that the helicopter team of the China-Africa Group actually had two Mi-26 heavy transport helicopters and 10 Mi-171s, and the other thirteen were domestic Z-9 and Z-8 helicopters. The transport capacity of this helicopter team actually exceeded that of a PLA army aviation regiment.
At this moment, Betu Bangjia had never expected that the People's Liberation Army had already dispatched from thousands of miles away and flew to a place close by and was waiting for an opportunity to take action. He was still dreaming of getting rich.
After successfully kidnapping Chinese prospectors, although the superior promised $10,000 per Chinese, Betu Bangjia became more cautious. He slightly interrogated the kidnapped Chinese and found that this group of people were actually staff members of a large Chinese company. This discovery made Betu Bangjia as ecstatic as if he had discovered a new continent.
If it was an ordinary Chinese, Betu Bangjia would definitely think that 10,000 US dollars per person is already very good, but since this is a large company employee with a assets of tens of billions of dollars, in Betu Bangjia's eyes, this is almost no different from large companies in Western countries, then 10,000 US dollars is obviously too low. Therefore, Betu Bangjia decided to do a big deal of ransom by himself. In his opinion, Somali pirates can kidnap Western hostages and extort millions of dollars. This time he caught employees of a large Chinese company, and each requested a ransom of 100,000 US dollars was not too much.
It was Beitu. Bangjia's greed that made him conceal the news of his successful kidnapping of the Chinese, and the organization behind him did not receive the news in time.
Therefore, when the next morning, thinking that millions of dollars might be earned, Betu Bangjia was in a hot mood and got up early at 8 o'clock in a rare situation, and then started a "morning exercise" on the belly of a tribe's black beauty. Because he was in a good mood today, Betu Bangjia spent half an hour in the morning before he felt satisfied to get up from the belly of a tribe's black beauty.
"Kazadi, how about those Chinese?" Betu Banga spitted a smoke ring and came to a thatched hut, and asked to his confidant who was carrying AK47 and was guarding the prisoner. "Boss, they are all very honest and have no abnormal movement at all." Kazadi said with a flattering smile, "This is a pile of green US dollars. I will guard it myself, and there will be no trouble."
"Well, good job, Kazadi," Betto Bangjia went to pat Kazadi on the shoulder and praised, "I'm useful to bring up their boss for me."
"Yes, boss," Kazadi continued to whisper, "Are you going to exchange for money?"
"Do your thing." Betu Banga glared at Kazadi with dissatisfaction, "Don't worry about things you shouldn't ask, you must have the benefit of yours."
"Yes, boss!" Kazadi stretched out his tongue, raised the AK47 in his hand, walked into the hut and shouted loudly in English, "Who is the boss, stand up!"
Looking at Kazadi's vicious look, Li Huafeng's heart jumped. He was about to stand up, and a pair of big hands next to him pressed his shoulders, "Take me brothers, don't act rashly, wait for rescue. I'll go this time!" Liu Yunhan whispered to Li Huafeng, "There is something in the corner of the wall. After I leave, you pick it up and carry it, and open it every 1 or 2 hours for about ten minutes."
After saying that, Liu Yunhan stood up calmly and said to Kazadi in English, "I am, is there anything wrong?"
"Don't talk nonsense, come out, our boss has something to come to you!" Kazadi said viciously. In Kazadi's eyes, these Chinese people are just a bunch of green US dollars, so there is no need to be polite to them Kazadi.
"Are you their leader?" Beitu Bangjia looked at Liu Yunhan and asked suspiciously. Perhaps it was Liu Yunhan's overly calm attitude. Beitu Bangjia smelled a familiar smell of military personnel from Liu Yunhan, "You are not like an ordinary worker, say, what is your real identity!" Beitu Bangjia suddenly pulled out his cell phone and asked sternly at Liu Yunhan.
"I am their leader, we are doing geological exploration." Liu Yunhan faced Beitu. Banga's black muzzle, and although he was upset, he still held his support. "Our work is well known in Mpanda."
Although Beitu Bangjia was still a little suspicious of Liu Yunhan's true identity, he quickly withdrew his mind and took out a cell phone from his pocket. This was confiscated from Li Huafeng and the exploration team.
"Come on, call your company and ask them to prepare $3.8 million to trade on Mpanda side of Lake Tanganyika within three days. If I don't see these dollars, let them find you in Lake Tanganyika." Beitu Bangjia stared at Liu Yunhan and said word by word in English, "Remember, turn on your phone hands-free, don't say more in Chinese, even if it's a word, express my requirements in English. Otherwise, you don't want to live to see the sunshine of tomorrow."
"Sir, before expressing your requirements, I need to show my identity and the safety of my team members, so that the company will consider your requirements." Hearing that this was the case, Liu Yunhan's tense mood immediately relaxed most of the time. Since this group of gangsters are making money, everyone is much safer.
After listening to Liu Yunhan's words, Beitu Bangjia thought about it carefully and found no reason, so he nodded.
Seeing Beitu and Bangjia agreed to his request, Liu Yunhan picked up his phone and started dialing, while quickly organizing his desire to convey information in his mind.
The phone rang a few times. "This is China-Africa Group, is it Qin Song?" Sun Yunshun, general manager of the China-Africa Group's Tanzania branch, looked at the phone number of a member of the Mpanda Missing Exploration Team on the caller ID and asked in surprise.
"I am Liu Yunhan," Liu Yunhan replied in a calm tone as much as possible, "It was them who ordered me to contact you and express their requirements. Please speak in English." Liu Yunhan did not know the identity of Beitu and Bangjia, and used a third person to replace it.
When Sun Yunshun heard this, he quickly found out from the list that Liu Yunhan was really the captain of the helicopter in the missing exploration team. He quickly pressed the recording button of the phone and then changed it to English and asked, "Liu Yunhan, how are you doing now? Are they safe? What are their requirements?"
"We are safe together," Liu Yunhan simply described his and his group's situation, and then repeated Betu Banga's request.
Beitu Bangjia listened carefully to Liu Yunhan's words, and heard that he did not say much of the irrelevant things. After Liu Yunhan finished speaking, Beitu Bangjia took back his phone, "Three days later, you will either see 3.8 million US dollars, or you will go to Lake Tanganyika to collect 38 corpses." After Beitu Bangjia said viciously, he hung up the phone, then opened the back cover of the phone and took out the card and threw it away.
Sun Yunshun suddenly heard such a voice and was shocked. After hearing this, he was about to say something, but found that the other party had already hung up the phone. When he called back again, his phone had already prompted to turn off.
However, today I could hear Liu Yunhan's personal speech report that all the kidnapped people were safe. Although Sun Yunshun could not confirm whether it was Liu Yunhan himself for a while, judging from the situation the other party said, it was almost certain that this was a kidnapping and extortion case. Sun Yunshun quickly reported the matter to the headquarters and recorded the phone and passed it on to the China-Africa Group.
The relevant Chinese departments, who have been paying close attention to the situation here, quickly obtained the recording for analysis, confirming that it was indeed the voice of the kidnapped Liu Yunhan himself. Moreover, from the recording, military intelligence personnel obtained important information from Liu Yunhan's short words, that is, the hostages kidnapped are now safe and detained together!
