Chapter 2403: No Compromise
Medvedev represented the majesty and power of President Putin and came outside the gate of the Moscow TV Tower.
"I am the chief of staff of President Putin. This time I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of President Putin." Medvedev shouted.
"Negotiation? We don't need to negotiate. We have only two conditions. Let all Russians get out of Chechnya and let Putin declare Chechnya's independence and write it into the Russian constitution!" roars came from the Moscow TV Tower.
"Sir, I hope you understand that this is not a very simple matter. It is not something you can do just by eating or drinking. The 24 hours you gave us are too tight. We need more time." Medvedev Unexpectedly, these terrorists did not want to negotiate at all, so they had to adopt the second tactic to delay the negotiation.
"There is no time. There are only 24 hours. If Russia does not withdraw its troops from Chechnya and declare Chechnya's independence within 24 hours, we will blow up the Moscow TV Tower!" A rough voice came from inside.
"Sir, you can't be so unreasonable. Don't you want to achieve your wish? Your attitude will only make things more difficult!" Medvedev said.
"Shut up! You Putin's lackey, get out of here! Go back and tell Putin that you only have 24 hours. You must withdraw your troops within 24 hours and declare Chechnya's independence. If you can't do one thing, I will make you regret it!" "There was a crazy voice inside again.
Medvedev said no more. These damn terrorists, they don't negotiate at all, which leaves Medvedev with nothing to do. In the end, I could only go back to resume my life in frustration.
"Li Rui, what do you think?" Lin Feng had already arrived at the scene, but he was hiding in the car without letting anyone notice Lin Feng's presence. Otherwise, the outside world will definitely have their own imaginations, and maybe something will happen.
"Boss, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst." Li Rui said in a deep voice, "These Chechen terrorists don't negotiate at all. Their purpose is very clear, which is to ask Russia to withdraw its troops and Chechnya to become independent. There are no other conditions." No, and it’s only 24 hours. This shows that they were mentally prepared before they came. I’m afraid they also expected the sacrifice.”
Lin Feng's heart tightened. If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Lin Chiling may die in this unexpected terrorist attack. No, never, I will never allow this to happen!
"Lin, don't panic. Things haven't reached this point yet. Maybe things will turn around." Sharapova has been staying by Lin Feng's side. Knowing that Lin Chiling is trapped in the Moscow TV Tower, she is also very nervous about her.
"Well, I hope there will be a turn for the better. Hope!" Lin Feng nodded lightly and fell down on the armrest of his seat.
Quite decadent. Currently, we can only rely on the Russian government to do this, and we cannot interfere. But based on Lin Feng’s understanding of Putin, this matter is really suspenseful.
At the airport, it was just a show of arms. Putin would rather let everyone wait at the airport than decide the winner with Lin Feng. Let me ask such a strong president, will he compromise because of the actions of Chechen terrorists? Obviously, no.
In fact, Lin Feng also has the same attitude towards this issue. If the government compromises this time, terrorists in Chechnya will become more rampant in the future, and there will be no lower limit. Therefore, if Lin Feng were Putin, Lin Feng would never compromise. Lin Feng would rather sacrifice the lives of 1,724 hostages to defend the dignity and authority of the government. Tell everyone that the government is never threatened by anything. Maybe this is unfair to the 1,724 hostages, but there is no fairness in this world.
Only the strong will have justice. The weak can only hope. This is cruel, but very realistic. That's why Lin Fengcai has been working so hard. Even if he becomes the world's richest man and his assets are almost over one trillion US dollars, he will continue to struggle and work hard. Because Lin Feng wants to become a strong man, a person who can control his destiny instead of being controlled by others.
But it was also because of Lin Feng’s understanding of Putin that he was worried.
"Master Void, Taoist Master Qingfeng!" Lin Feng said suddenly after a long time.
"Master, please give me your orders!" The two of them naturally knew Lin Feng's mood at the moment, so they would accept and execute any orders from Lin Feng. For them, their own safety is no problem. The only trouble is whether they can safely rescue Lin Chiling and ensure that the Chechen terrorists will not become angry because of this and directly detonate the bomb and die together.
"If the Russian side prepares to attack in 24 hours, I hope you can attack first. No matter whether the other hostages are dead or alive, take out Lin Chiling." Lin Feng solemnly ordered.
If it really comes to this final step and Russia prepares to attack, then Lin Feng can only choose to rescue Lin Chiling, regardless of the life or death of others. From the beginning, Lin Feng did not think of himself as a savior or a holy mother. He was just a ruthless and selfish businessman. What he cared about was the safety of those around him. As for the others, Lin Feng didn't care. Of course, Lin Feng is happy to help others if it does not affect his own vital interests.
That's all. If this is said, many defenders will definitely criticize Lin Feng. But Lin Feng didn't care, it didn't matter. As long as the people around you live well, do you need to care about other people?
Vukong and Qingfeng nodded, and began to close their eyes to rest and regulate their inner breath, in order to achieve the best physical condition in the future.
Li Rui frowned, but didn't say much. It was unrealistic for Lin Feng to choose to watch and give up Lin Chiling. On the contrary, Li Rui was very moved by the fact that Lin Feng would rather risk being the cause of the killing of all the hostages in the Moscow TV Tower to rescue Lin Chiling. With such a boss, they would be much happier and have fewer concerns about doing things. Because they know that no matter what accidents they encounter, Lin Feng will be behind them.
As time went by, the Russian side did not show any signs of a strong attack, but continued to block all the traffic arteries around the Moscow TV Tower and evacuated all nearby people. As for the second negotiation, the Russian side did not conduct it. As if this incident had not happened, the Russian government remained silent.
"Asshole! Damn it! Damn it! Why didn't Russia reply, why didn't it!" Basayev roared. It had been six hours, but they did not feel any sincerity from the Russian side.
"Basayev, stay calm, you have to stay calm!" The leader who spoke earlier warned.
"Oh, Duda, now is not the time to calm down. I think we should warn the damn Russians and let them know that we are serious, not that we are acting." Basayev shouted.
The leader frowned and considered Basayev's proposal.
"Duda, you are right to listen to me. As long as we kill some hostages, these damn Russians will know that we are serious and will not perfunctorily treat us anymore." Basayev's eyes were full of murderous light. When all the hostages saw Basayev, they were frightened and stepped back, trembling, fearing that they would be one of the candidates for demonstration.
"Okay, Basayev, I allow you to do this. But you can only warn the Russian government not to kill the hostages, but to throw them out after injuring them." After thinking for a while, the leader agreed with Basayev's move.
"Haha, I have waited for this moment for too long." Basayev laughed grimly, then pulled out his pistol, and fired a few shots at random while all the hostages were trembling. After punching bloody holes in the thighs of several hostages, he ordered them to be thrown out.
"Russian bastards, these few people are our warning. If you dare to perfunctorily deal with us again, we will behead the hostages in front of the TV cameras." Basayev's voice shook over Moscow.
Hearing this devilish voice, the whole of Moscow was shaking.
"Mr. President, the seven injured hostages have been treated. Except for one hostage who is still being rescued because of a hit artery, the other six rescued hostages are safe and sound. This is their confession." Medvedev handed President Putin a faxed confession.
Putin turned over and took a look, frowning even more tightly. According to the confessions of these hostages, the bandits came prepared this time, and there were bombs everywhere. If they were to attack by force, they would definitely suffer too much damage. And it is very likely that the Chechen bandits would be forced to choose to burn themselves to death and detonate all the bombs.
This is definitely not what Putin wants to see. Once all the hostages die, Russia will face huge pressure from the world. But it is absolutely unacceptable for him to compromise with the Chechen terrorists.
What to do? What should I do? Putin's eyes were full of ferocity. The biggest weakness in his life was being threatened. This time, the Chechen terrorists had touched his weakness, so he would never compromise. Never!
"Damn it, Russia hasn't responded yet. Duda, I think my action just now was too light. We should move a little harder to let everyone know that we are not easy to mess with." Basayev's eyes flashed with ferocity, "Connect the TV for me. I will behead these damn pagans in front of the world!"
Basayev pointed at a few people, one of whom was Lin Chiling.
"No, no, I don't want it, I don't want it!" A man was stunned when he saw that he was pointed at by Basayev, and he screamed and rushed out of the door. He didn't want to die, and didn't want to die so early. His life has just begun, and he never wants to die.
"Wait, don't shoot!" Basayev stopped his men who were about to shoot, and laughed grimly. After the hostage rushed out of the TV tower in a panic, he pressed the button to detonate the bomb.
With a loud bang, a hostage died in front of everyone!
Putin smashed his fist in anger.
