“Concorde?!
When Charlie said these four words, everyone was stunned.
Who can believe that the legend and the super king of civil aviation speed-Concorde, which ended as early as 20 years ago, It’s still in operation now?! The Chinese kid subconsciously laughed and said: “You really know how to say that the Concorde has long been retired. Now there is no airline in the world, and it has a supersonic speed in operation. Do you think we are a fool?
Charlie shook his head and laughed at him: “Oh, I really don’t understand myself, what am I doing with you so much?
After finishing speaking, he looks at Melba, said: “The situation is urgent now. The opposition has announced to the public that if the US embassy does not agree to their demand, it will start killing hostages, so we don’t want to delay any more time and leave this now.”
Melba couldn’t help asking: “Then my friends?”
Charlie reached out his hand to stop her and said: “What kind of stupid people are your friends, I believe you are watching it all. Put the words here, today I will only take you alone, to go or not to go, I will give you 10 seconds to consider.
“Just take one person?” one boy put his right hand in the air disdainfully, made a gesture of reaching out and twisting the light bulb, curled his mouth, and said: “You really feel good about yourself. Tell you the truth, even if you ask If you let me go with you, I won’t go with you!
Charlie ignored him, but looked at Melba and said, “There are still five seconds left. “
I, Melba, suddenly fell into a dilemma.
She really wanted to leave with Charlie. After all, he was entrusted by her father to come to Syria to save her.
However, she didn’t want to just treat these classmates who share common ideals and stay here.
At this moment, the kid of Chinese descent said immediately: “Melba, even if his identity is not a problem, you must never follow him! There are one or two thousand opposition armed forces outside, and if you are not careful, you may be caught. You must not make a joke about your life’s safety!
“Yes!” a white boy said: “The best way for us now is to wait for our troops to rescue us! If you go with him now, not only After nine deaths, even if you survive by chance, you will definitely regret it! At this moment, Melba fully understands that it is absolutely impossible for her to convince this group of friends.
So she opened her mouth and said, “Everyone, I don’t want to hit everyone’s self-confidence, but I don’t really believe that the SEAL team will come to rescue me. So
far, Melba hesitated for a while, and finally said firmly: “So I decided to talk to Mr. Charlie and leave! Whether it’s life or death, I won’t regret my decision!
Charlie nodded and said: “Okay, don’t talk nonsense with them anymore, let’s go now.” After that, he walked over. In front of Melba, he pulled her up from the ground and untied the rope tied to her hand.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that someone was walking down the stairs outside, so he immediately whispered in Melba’s ear: “Someone is here, sit back first!”
Melba hurriedly sat back on the ground, and Charlie stepped back a few steps and quickly stuck it on the wall next to the iron gate.
After a while, he heard someone speaking in Arabic outside.
Charlie could perceive it, and three people walked down the stairs at this time.
The headed person is saying something loudly.
Immediately afterward, two of the three people stayed at the door of the outermost door, and the head walked in by himself.
As soon as he entered the door, Faisal and the others immediately said loudly: “Hello, Commander Hamid! Upon hearing this, Charlie’s spirits jumped all of a sudden.
At the same time, he also spurned the seven highly educated stupid birds in front of him. Didn’t they wait for the Marines to rescue them? The Marines did not come, but the angel of death came first!
Then, he listened to that Commander Hamid and Faisal and others outside exchanged a few words, probably asking Faisal how the hostages inside are.
One of the guards hurriedly said that everything is normal, and then the leader said: “Open the door.”
Immediately, the door opened sounded.
After a while, the iron gate was pushed aside from the outside, and a man in a desert camouflage stepped in.
What’s interesting is that the moment he stepped in, his figure swayed to the left, which made Charlie instantly see that this guy was still lame with a problem with his left leg!
Hamid stepped forward and saw these eight hostages didn’t wear headgear, and he was furious. He shouted sharply, “Fu*k! Why don’t they wear headgear?! Now that they see my face, won’t I have to kill them?!”
As soon as the voice fell, he realized there was still a figure in the peripheral light on his right side, so he hurriedly turned his head and saw Charlie, who was looking directly at him with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Charlie was an unfamiliar face, he was suddenly shocked, and he subconsciously went to his pocket to draw a gun.
At this moment, Charlie pointed the muzzle of the AK47 directly at him, then closed the door with one foot, and said with a smile: “Come on, kneel on the ground with your hands on your head.
After speaking, he shook his head again and said to himself said: “I guess you can’t understand what I said.”
Hamid blurted out:” You are the Chinese people?
Charlie curious and asked: “You, you also speak Chinese?
Hamid put a calm, said:” I’ve had studied in China, I learned Chinese. Originally, my father wanted me to fully develop trade with China in the future, but I did not expect that my father would be killed by the government forces.
After speaking, he looked at Charlie and asked coldly: “Who are you? How come you are here?! Are you a member of the government army?
Charlie smiled slightly: “I’m not from the government army.
Hamid with an expression of horror, blurted: “Whom do you serve?”
Charlie pointed to Melba: “I was commissioned by the girl’s father to bring his baby daughter home,”
After that, he pointed to Hamid again and said coldly: “So you guys are not righteous, and go to war. But you kidnapped a few students who were stupid in reading and were not afraid of other people’s intentions?”
Hamid gritted his teeth and yelled: “Stop talking nonsense with me here. I tied them because they are with the government army and are my enemy! And you ran to me without shame and want to take them away when I am here? You come as you want, and leave as you want?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Otherwise? Believe it or not, if I kill you now, I can still safely evacuate.”
Hamid gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all my people outside. You can’t escape at all!
Charlie shook his head: “No, no, no, you are wrong. The outside is all my people.
Then, Charlie opened the door and told Faisal: “Take the two outside and control this guy, remember not to let the people in the yard hear it!
Faisal nodded without hesitation: “Yes!
Hamid stunned and yelled: “Faisal, you dare to betray me! Betray our grand goal of overthrowing the government army!”
‘Sorry!’ Faisal pointed at Charlie respectfully with both hands, and said without hesitation: “I am only loyal to this gentleman now!”
“Grass!
Hamid’s heart suddenly became cold when he heard this. After all, he has been leading the army for many years, and his judgment of the strategic situation is very accurate. At this moment, he has realized that he and Charlie each have half of their control initiative.
“In this cellar, the initiative is in the hands of this Chinese man, because he has a gun at me and bought my subordinates. He can kill me in this room at any time.”
“However, I am not completely passive. After all, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to buy over one or two thousand people from the entire base.”
“Because, if he really had this capability, he would have overthrown me directly, so why bother to spend so much effort? , How about sneaking into this cellar?
Thinking of this, he immediately said to Charlie: Friend, neither of us should be too impulsive. If you have anything, you can talk and discuss it. After all, I have been studying in China for many years and I see you are very kind!”
Charlie nodded and smiled: “It’s easy if you want to talk. I just have one request. If you ask me to take people away, I won’t make it difficult for you. Otherwise, I will kill you first.”
Saying this, Charlie must say seriously: “After I kill you, as long as I run faster, your men may not be able to react. After all, when I came in, your men didn’t find me, trust me When I leave, they could not find out as well. As soon as Charlie said this, the opposite Hamid immediately became tense.
He is not a fool.
His own base of one or two thousand defenses can still make this man come in quietly, and it was obvious that his defenses were not counted as ***** in front of the other party.
At this time, Charlie continued: “When they find your body lying in this cellar, I might have already left Syria, but what about you? You can only lie down hard and accept the funeral prepared by your one or two thousand men. Your status in the army is so high, and your funeral will be very grand by that time!
Hamid’s face immediately turned green.
He quickly understood in his heart that he and Charlie were not as close as he had imagined.
People like Charlie can take the initiative.
If Charlie kills him first, he will be cold first.
If he really annoyed him, he would go ahead and kill him, and then escape smoothly, wouldn’t he be a big loser?!
Thinking of this, Hamid’s expression suddenly became very depressed.
Let him let go, he is naturally unwilling 10,000 times.
After all, he is still waiting to use these hostages to extort funds from the US Embassy.
He has two thousand soldiers under his hand, people fed by horses, and there is a huge funding gap. He is waiting to make a windfall to stabilize the team. If there are extra surpluses, he can buy a batch of new weapons from the arms dealers. Equip troops to improve their combat effectiveness.
However, money is important, but he is also a commander after all, which is equivalent to a warlord and a native emperor. Even if the money cannot be made, he has this team. In the future, he will have more chances to make a fortune. Maybe the opposition will win the final victory. Can also mix with a senior official.
Therefore, for him, the most important thing is to live, to live safely.
Otherwise, if he dies here, he will really lose everything.
Because his life is more important, he doesn’t dare to confront Charlie.
After thinking about it, Hamid gritted his teeth, tried to make the final fight, and said: “Brother! It’s not easy for you to come all the way, plus the two of us are predestined. I can’t refuse your request, but you must also save me a little bit of face, and you can’t let me come to the bamboo basket to fetch water in the end, don’t you have an old saying in China? Keep a thread in everything, so you can see each other in the future!
Charlie smiled and said, “I have to say, What you said in Chinese literature is really not bad, and even the allegorical words can give me two sentences.’
Hamid embarrassedly smiled, and said: “The use one word to describe, whatever the outcome, I was also a school bully.”
Charlie nodded and asked him:” You said let me give you a bit to stay Face, I don’t know how you want to keep this face?
Hamid waved his hand and said with a face full of quagmire: “Brother, this way! These eight people, half of you and half of me, there is an old Chinese saying that is so far away as a guest, so I let you pick first. You pick four people at random and take them away. The remaining four are left to me.
As soon as Hamid said this, all the seven people besides him were crazy except for Melba. What the hell is this What a ghost! Is this guy who came by the Concorde so fierce?
The commander of the opposition came. Not only did he not kill him, but he also controlled him. What’s more outrageous is that the two men are still talking about terms…
What’s even more outrageous is that this Hamid actually agreed.
He asked Charlie to take four people away. Doesn’t that mean that four people can be rescued directly by him?!
Since Melba is determined To occupy one place, there are three places left!
Thinking of this, the boy of Chinese descent blurted out: “Mr. Wade, save me! We are compatriots! We are compatriots! You can help me if you say anything!
Charlie waved his hand: “Hey, don’t come with me. This set, what you said just now, don’t you remember? I do treat you as a compatriot, even if you are holding a passport from another country, but what you have is the blood of our Chinese nation. You are my compatriot in the eyes.
Speaking of this, Charlie said helplessly: “Look at what you said just now. You were born and raised in the United States, and your homeland is the United States. If you have said so, I can’t rush to recognize you like me. Compatriots, isn’t this forcing you to betray your motherland?
The other party cried out and choked up: “Mr. Wade, I was wrong! Actually, I was not born in the United States, I was born in China, but later my parents migrated, took me to the United States and I became a citizen there. The reason why I always declare that I was born in the United States is that I don’t want to be looked down upon by Americans. I want them to know that although I am not an American face, I am The American-born and authentic American said this, he cried bitterly: “Actually, I am a foreigner. I am now aware of the mistake. I know what is still flowing in my bones;
Charlie blurted out and interrupted:” It’s OK, don’t say anything, I understand what you mean. “When the other party heard this, he felt as if he had hope of survival, he immediately cried and said, “Mr. Wade, thank you so much! From now on, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will repay you well!”
A white American boy also hurriedly said: “Mr. Wade, I apologize to you for my recklessness and impoliteness. Please take me with you. The Indian boy also cried. He said: “Yep blame me for my senselessness, in fact, I particularly admire you, such a lone hero. I ask you to forget my rudeness before, give me a chance.”
Others as seeing that they were all pleading, also hurriedly started crying.
Charlie smiled at this time, turned to look at Hamid, and said seriously: “Commander Hamid.”
Hamid said quickly, “Brother, when you meet, you are destined, and when you are destined, you are friends. Don’t call the commander like that. By the way! In addition, my brother said to him, my last name is Hamid’, these three words are connected, if you can do not open it, try not to open it.”
After speaking, he hurriedly added with a smile One sentence: “Of course, if you think it’s too tiring to say three words, just treat it as if I didn’t say anything.
Seeing Hamid’s aggrieved look, Charlie couldn’t help but smile: “Since Commander Hamid has spoken, I’ll connect these three words later.
Hamid hugged Charlie. Then he pointed to the eight people on the opposite side and said generously: “Brother, just pick it!
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Charlie would not be willing to borrow the donkey from the slope. He gritted his teeth and blurted out: “This way, my brother, I will give another step. You choose five!
The desire of the seven to survive in an instant increased!
Charlie looked at Hamid, smiled, and praised: “Commander Hamid is really interesting. Just at this point, you can see You should be a person of integrity and commitment. “
Hamid nodded seriously and said:” I am the person with most credit, whether it is trade and commerce, or the troops in war, we must honor the commitment that let you take five, would not have vague!
Charlie At this time, he waved his hand: “I am also the most ethical person. I have always believed that you respect me a foot and I respect you more. Therefore, among the eight people, I only need Miss Watt and the rest. Leave them to you.
The other seven people burst into tears when they heard this. The young people of Chinese descent cried and said: “Mr. Wade, everyone is a compatriot, you can’t get me into injustice!
All the other people also cried together, begging for mercy and begging constantly for rescue and help.
At this time, Melba also couldn’t see it. She pleaded: “Mr. Wade, they are indeed frogs at the bottom of the well. They have eyes but don’t know the world. I hope you don’t keep a grudge. Please try to save as many people as possible. Take them all away.
Charlie said indifferently: “Melba, things are not handled like this. I am here to save you completely for the sake of your dad. You asked me to save them. Who do you want me to save?”
Melba was ashamed. , But for the safety of friends, she still gritted her teeth and said: “Mr. Wade, please give me a face! I know this request is very abrupt, inappropriate, and self-defeating, but I still ask you to look at my face.
Save them once, Charlie shook his head and firmly refused: “I don’t give you this face because from beginning to end, these friends have never given me face at all. I am a person who has never admired foreigners or locals, those who don’t care about me. Is it an American or a Martian, as long as he doesn’t give me face, I won’t give him face?”
After speaking, he looked at Hamid, pointed at Melba, and said seriously: “I will only take her away.”
‘Grass, interesting! Hamid-stomped and blurted: “In this case, then I won’t be too nonsense. Now I will tell your men, you two can leave at will, no one can stop!”
After finishing, Hamid flashed aside, let out the door, and said, “Brother, please!”
Charlie waved his hand: “No, it’s not my villain’s heart. After all, this is your site. I have to be more cautious. The helicopter parked directly in the yard. The helicopter must not carry any ammunition. In addition, all people except the pilot must be evacuated. Then you will accompany the two of us personally. When the person picks me up, I will let you go, what do you think?”
Hamid looked embarrassed and said, “What if you change your mind when you get there? What if you kidnap me? Now the government is offering a reward of several million dollars for my head, how do I know if you get greedy?
“Do you see me greedy?” Charlie smiled helplessly, pointed to his face, and asked him with a smile: “You said that I might get greedy? I cam here fcking sitting on a Concorde airliner with more than hundreds of millions of dollars, within a few hours, all the way from China to the place where you don’t shit, will I make money for the multi-million dollar reward on your head?
Hamid swallowed his saliva and blurted out: “Concorde?! You are from the Wade family of China?!”
Charlie asked curiously: “What? Commander Hamid has also heard of the Wade family?”
Hamid immediately said with a look of admiration: “I have heard of it too much! I was in the university where I was studying in Eastcliff. Ah, the Wade family and the Su family are both top families in China, and I heard about it at that time.
After speaking, Hamid flatly asked, “My brother, I don’t know if I’m right?
Charlie didn’t hide it. Nodded and said: “Yes, I am the Wade family member. When this was said, the other seven people were almost all frightened.
They are all high-achieving students in the financial field. They have a deep understanding of the economic conditions of various countries, and naturally, they also know China The strength of these wealthy families.
As soon as they heard that Charlie was a descendant of the Wade family, they immediately understood why Charlie could travel to Syria on the Concorde in such a short time.
This is the Wade family. What a pity! It’s a pity that these so-called high-achieving students will be blindfolded and not see the treasure!
Hamid on the side immediately gave a thumbs up and blurted out: “I didn’t expect that my brother is really from the Wade family, like the Wade family man you can still break in here alone. It is really admirable!”
Charlie smiled slightly: “Commander Hamid is too polite.
Hamid couldn’t help but said excitedly: “I didn’t expect it today. It’s fate to be able to get acquainted with the descendants of the Wade family!
After that, he looked at Charlie and said sincerely: “Brother, there is an old saying in China that you don’t get acquainted with each other. If you use it on you and me, it would be appropriate. If you Don’t dislike it, from now on, you and I will be friends!
Charlie nodded and said seriously: “Since my brother said so, we will be friends from now on!”
Hamid laughed and blurted out: Brother, I know that you came to rescue this lady so far. If you want to come, she must be very important to you, then I won’t be here to waste time with you, you and I will keep in touch with each other, and then I personally take you away by helicopter according to your request. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will come to Syria as a guest again. Then I will – I will treat you well!
Seeing that he is indeed sincere, Charlie said without hesitation:” No problem! If my brother comes to China in the future, he will contact me as soon as possible, and he will be given the best hospitality!
As he said, the boy of Chinese origin cried and said, “Master, you are a trillion-dollar family man. do not keep a grudge on us and leave us behind. My family took pains to brought me up, and it was not easy, give me a chance to save my life, and I kowtow to you!”
When he finished, in spite of his hands still being tied up behind him, he was struggling desperately to kneel and kowtow.
Charlie said with an indifferent expression at this time: “Okay, no need to act here, no matter what you say, I will not take you away.
After saying this, he looked at Melba and said lightly: “Miss Watt, let’s go.” When the Chinese boy heard this, he looked at Melba savagely, and blurted out, “Melba! I came here just for you. Do you have the heart to leave me here alone?! Do you still have the slightest humanity?!”
The other two girls also choked and said, “Melba, everyone is a good friend, how can you leave us at this time. If you leave us, we’re dead.
Indian boys also cried and said, “Melba, I don’t want to die. My parents saved a lifetime of money for me to finish studying. I can’t just die here.
Melba silently in this place suddenly burst into tears, and she looked at Charlie with extremely pitiful eyes, and her beautiful eyes were full of pleading.
Charlie said coldly at this time: “Don’t worry, the Marines will come to rescue you.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Melba and reminded loudly: “It’s time to go, Miss Watt!”
Hearing this, Melba was at a loss.
She could see that Charlie was not joking.
So she didn’t know what she should do if Charlie really didn’t want to take away her companions.
She did not expect that her group of friends would be so anti-intellectual. They had already offended Charlie to death before he revealed their identity. Now no matter how they plead with Charlie, it is reasonable for Charlie not to save them.
Although she wanted to leave and go to Aurous Hill to reunite with her father, she really couldn’t bear to leave so many friends behind and escape alone.
At a certain moment, Melba even thought about not leaving, and just staying to live or die with these friends, so that even if facing the worst result, she can have a clear conscience.
Otherwise, if she was left alone and seven of them died here, then she would not be able to get rid of the guilt deep in her heart in this life.
Charlie didn’t expect that these anti-intellectual talents with high academic qualifications are now desperately trying to get Melba into the water.
They used all kinds of methods to repeatedly stimulate Melba’s psychological defense by insulting, reprimanding, begging, or selling miserably, with only two purposes: either, let Melba take them together or let her stay too and die with them!
Charlie couldn’t help looking at her. Seeing that her expression was very tangled, she even had some signs of a strong man breaking her wrist, and he immediately said inwardly that it was not good!
Young people are most likely to have the so-called loyalty and affection. A condemned prisoner who was unwilling to betray his friend for the so-called friend’s death felt that he was out of loyalty when he died, but he did not know that the other party only regarded him as a scapegoat.
Therefore, Charlie didn’t give Melba a chance to react. He opened the door and said to Faisal outside: “Come and take Miss Watt out!
‘Yes!
Faisal, who had just brought four other people under the control of Hamid’s two guards, agreed without hesitation, and immediately walked to Melba, and said coldly: “Miss Watt, please come with me!
Melba was still a little vacillating, but when Charlie asked Faisal to take her out forcibly, she immediately aroused her sense of resistance. She almost immediately blurted out: “I’m not going! I’m not going! I’m going to stay. Stay with my friends!
As soon as Melba said this, the expressions of the other seven people instantly eased a little, and some even showed a hint of excitement unintentionally.
Charlie had a panoramic view of the performance of these people and had no hope for the humanity and character of these people.
At a critical juncture, I don’t have the opportunity to escape, I don’t want my companions to escape, and I want them to stay and die with me. This is the dirtiest aspect of human nature.
So, Charlie immediately ordered Faisal and said: “Blocked her mouth, take her out!”
Melba Hearing this, the mood got more excited, and shouted: “Do not touch me I do not go to the finish, She looked at Charlie and shouted: “Mr. Wade, please tell my dad that I can’t honor his wish, let him not blame me! I am in Syria with my friends, if I leave alone, I will never forgive myself in my life!
Charlie frowned and looked at her, and asked, “Your brain is also infected by these seven stupid birds?!”
“I didn’t!” Melba said loudly: “I have been deliberated! I am willing to bear all the consequences, and I will never regret it!
Charlie’s head is big, pointing at her, and sternly shouted: “You shut up! Before I came, your life was owned by you and it was okay, but since I’m here, you can only live! Even if you want to die, I won’t let you die!
Melba asked, “Why! I have the right to choose not to let you take me away!”
Charlie pointed to Hamid and asked, “Why didn’t you say this to him when they kidnapped you?”
Melba suddenly questioned person was speechless and hesitated, “
Charlie said coldly: “Don’t you, I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you, today you have to go, even if you don’t, you have to go, if really want to die here. After I return to China and Aurous Hill, you can come back again after I hand you over to your father safely. At that time, whether you want to die or live has nothing to do with me.
Melba subconsciously said: “But I don’t want to go back!
Charlie coldly snorted: “You don’t want to? You don’t want too much, you don’t want to go, I want to take you away!
After that, he told Faisal: “Shut her mouth, I don’t want to listen to her now!”
Faisal immediately picked up the headgear Melba wore before from the ground, twisted it into a cylindrical shape in the palm of his hand, and stuffed it directly in Melba’s mouth.
Melba was gagged at once, and couldn’t say a word right away. She could only hum desperately while staring at Charlie with teary eyes.
Charlie didn’t look at her, and directly waved to Faisal: “Take her out!”
Faisal immediately took Melba to the room outside.
The seven people in the room saw Melba being taken away, and their faces reappeared with anger and unwillingness.
Charlie looked at them and said blankly: “No matter how long you seven can live, I hope you remember the words, the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life! Like you, narrow-minded and short-sighted, courageous rats, even It doesn’t make any sense to read more books! People like yours, no matter how much gold is plated, can’t hide the stench on your body! After all, he looked at Hamid and said: Commander Hamid, take your hard work and send us away.”
Without saying anything, Hamid immediately made a gesture of asking, and said, “Brother, please!
Charlie nodded and went out of the room with Hamid, and then the iron door was locked again. No matter how the seven people wailed, Charlie didn’t have any pity in his heart.
Afterward, Hamid also obeyed the agreement and used the walkie-talkie to issue orders to his men to unload all the ammunition of one of the armed helicopters. Then he evacuated all the guards in the yard above his head, and then let his most trusted pilot fly the helicopter to land in the yard.
After all this, Hamid said to Charlie: “Brother, the plane is ready and Okay, let’s go up now. “
Charlie nodded and said to Faisal, “You guys continue to stay here.”
All people said without hesitation: “Yes!
Charlie pulled Melba, whose hands tied behind her, and said to Hamid: “The three of us will go up.
Melba was speechless and could only cry, Hamid took the initiative to take out his gun and threw it on the ground, and said to Charlie: “Brother, let me go ahead. You have a gun in your hand and my legs. There is a disability again, you don’t have to worry that I will run away.”
Charlie admired Hamid’s character more a bit, nodded slightly, and said, “Brother Please!
Seeing Hamid limping and walking up the stairs, Charlie was somewhat curious, so he casually asked: “Brother, your leg is injured?
Hamid turned back and then looked back at him. He sighed:
“My left leg was once seriously injured in a battle. It was hit by fragments from a bomb explosion. At that time, there was almost only one way to amputation, but fortunately, I tried my best to save it but this leg has also suffered irreversible damage, so after recovery, the muscles were severely atrophied, and the function is also severely degraded, so here I am lame, and couldn’t help feeling: “In a place like Syria, the difficulty for a lame commander are really hard to describe in a word!
Although being lame is not a serious disability, Hamid is the highest-ranking commander of an armed force after all. His lame leg has a great influence on his personal image and prestige.
The biggest impact is that his self-confidence has been frustrated a lot. At one time, Hamid was also an ambitious general, eager to make a difference in the chaotic war, and even hoped to become the whole opposition faction’s supreme commander.
However, since his lameness, his influence has dropped a lot, and his self-confidence has also been hit.
Originally, his team had nearly 10,000 people, which is considered to be relatively strong in the opposition. Once, several confidants saw that his legs were lame and his self-confidence was seriously damaged. They took the opportunity to instigate some of his subordinates to stand on their own, causing his strength to drop suddenly.
Sometimes the reality is so cruel, when a person has enough majesty When intimidating his subordinates, his subordinates will appear as meek as a cat and loyal like a dog. However, once the person’s own strength declines and his body degrades, his subordinates will develop a tiger-wolf heart.
Self-reliance is already considered more moral. Those who have no ethics will even take the opportunity to get rid of their boss and replace him. Such things have indeed been common since ancient times.
Zhao Kuangyin originally inspected the front of the palace of the Hou Zhou. After the death of Zhou Shizong, he had just passed the throne to his seven-year-old son, Emperor Zhou Gong. As a result, Zhao Kuangyin turned his face and launched mutiny, and seized the young lord.
Similar things are countless in history.
The same goes for Hamid in Syria.
The economic development of this kind of place is very backward, and it is mountainous, and the degree of motorization of the army is very low. Most of the time, it depends on the legs and feet and transport animals like donkeys, mules, and horses. In this case, Hamid’s physical disability is infinitely magnified.
When soldiers are fighting in the mountains, he can’t go to the front to cheer the soldiers up;
when the troops start to maneuver in the mountains, he can’t participate with them.
The soldiers of the opposition were born recklessly, and they needed the commander to take the lead or integrate into it, but Hamid’s legs became a huge shortcoming.
Hamid at this moment limped out of the cellar, followed by Charlie and Melba.
After coming out, they saw an armed helicopter parked in the yard, and all the armed personnel had been evacuated.
The weapons and ammunition originally suspended under the helicopter and on both sides have basically been disassembled, and all the ammunition has been removed from the cannon, which is the main firepower.
The reason why Charlie asked them to remove all the ammunition was to ensure that Hamid would not suddenly repent after arriving at the meeting place.
After all, the Wade family arranged for civilian planes, and they would definitely be civilian helicopters when they come to pick them up. In front of the armed helicopters, the civilian helicopters were paper-sticky, and the machine guns would suddenly smash them into a sieve.
At this moment, there was a pilot standing next to the helicopter. He saw Hamid coming out with two strangers, Charlie and Melba, and suddenly felt a little bad, and subconsciously wanted to touch the pilot gun on his waist.
Hamid said immediately: “Throw the gun away, these two are my friends!”
As soon as the pilot heard this, although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to make a mistake, and immediately threw the gun on the ground.
Hamid again ordered: “Hurry up and start the helicopter! The pilot hurriedly climbed up the cockpit to start the propellers, Hamid sat in the cabin with Charlie and Melba.
After entering the cabin, Charlie recalled, Vasily told him to pressed the emergency call button on his watch.
Syria’s infrastructure itself is very poor, and the wars are messed up. There is almost no communication signal except for the city, so even international roaming mobile phones are not served here. The only communication medium is satellite.
Fortunately, this watch specially equipped for paratroopers has the function of satellite communication.
Charlie heard Chester’s voice as soon as the phone was connected: “Master, is everything going well with you?”
Charlie replied: “Everything went well, and it was earlier than originally planned. Now you arrange the helicopter to the scheduled location. I will be there in about 15 minutes.
Chester said dumbfounded: “Master, how can you be there so quickly?”
Charlie said with a smile, “The opposition commander Hamid personally arranged for a helicopter to take us over.
Chester-Hearing these words, suddenly realized that Charlie must have controlled Hamid, and the whole person was so shocked that there was nothing to add, so that he didn’t know how to reply to Charlie for a while.
Issac on the side hurriedly asked him: “Mr. Chester, how long will it take for us to fly over now?
Chester came back to his senses and blurted out: “I will prepare the helicopter now. Let’s set off in five minutes. It is estimated that it will take about forty minutes. “‘Okay.”
Charlie said: “Then I’ll wait for you at the scheduled location.”
Chester said hurriedly: “OK master, let’s set off now!
After hanging up the phone, Charlie told Hamid the GPS coordinates of the destination and asked him to tell the pilot. After the pilot set the coordinates, Hamid said to Charlie: “Brother Wade, the pilot is ready. We can take off, everything is under your command.
Charlie nodded and said, “Then let the pilot take off. “
OK!
Hamid immediately used the walkie-talkie on his head to order the pilot to take off.
The helicopter immediately began to ascend, and then moved towards the coordinates agreed by Charlie and Chester.
In the mountains of dozens of kilometers, ordinary people may not be able to walk in a day, but the helicopter only needs ten minutes.
Soon, the helicopter arrived at the coordinated location. This is a relatively gentle mountain top. The altitude is not high and the terrain is not steep. However, there are no roads within a few kilometers, so there are hardly any people.
After the helicopter landed on the top of the mountain, Charlie said to Hamid: “Brother, you have to wait a while here. When the plane to pick me up arrives, you will leave.
Hamid said without hesitation: “It should be, so it’s more at ease for you!
After that, he ordered the pilot: “Turn off the engine and lights, we will wait here for a while! The pilot immediately did it.
When the chopper engine stopped spinning At that time, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and as soon as it calmed down, you could hear Melba’s sobbing. At this time, she had no idea how many tears she shed. Charlie reached out and took off the headgear in her mouth, and Melba said The first sentence is: “You send me back! Or you go by yourself, let them take me back again!”
Charlie said mockingly: “Your dad told me you are a very smart person. You yourself are also a very good business and management talent, but I really didn’t expect you to be so stupid.”
Melba pleaded: “You don’t understand, if I just leave, this will be my life-long demon, a lifelong nightmare, I beg you to let me go back, if my friends are dead, only me living alone, I will be tortured and tortured throughout my life. Instead of this, it is better to let me stay with them.
Charlie then realizes that Melba’s mentality may not be stupid, but her own character.
Most people can forgive themselves easily, but some people don’t. Not only do they won’t forgive themselves easily, but they will suffer for the rest of their lives.
If the seven people really died like this, Melba might really be unable to forgive herself. If things go on like this, she might fall into extreme depression until she can’t bear it and end her life.
Thinking of this, Charlie asked her back: “As long as your friends survive, you can pass this hurdle in your heart?”
Melba nodded gently, and asked: “Can you save them?
Charlie returned to Hamid, he said: “Brother, let me be honest, even if you kill all of those seven people, the White House will not give you a cent.
Hamid also realized it, nodded, and said: “Indeed, they didn’t mean to give money at all, and they have already blocked this news in the Western world. Even if I kill them all, the Western media will not report it, and people there would not know about them.”
When it comes to this, he sighed and gritted his teeth and said: “Okay, if you need it, I will let them go, or send another helicopter to bring them over.
Melba suddenly looked surprised.
But at this time, Charlie immediately waved his hand and said: No, I just need them to survive, I don’t want to take them away.”
Hamid asked hurriedly, “ My brother, what do you mean?
Charlie said: “Well, don’t kill them, leave them as laborers, do things like doing chores, cooking, digging trenches, and transporting goods in your army. I believe they are still capable of doing this. Leaving them for their lives and letting them stay in Syria to do things for you for the rest of their lives can be considered as if you did not tie them back in vain.
Hamid immediately understood what Charlie meant.
He knew that Charlie didn’t want to save those guys either, just because of Melba’s face, he wanted to save their lives.
So he immediately agreed and said: “Since my brother said so, don’t worry, I will make good use of them, give them a bite of food, let them survive, and honestly treat them as a coolie.”
Charlie nodded and asked Melba: “They won’t be killed. Are you satisfied?”
Melba asked angrily: “You can obviously take them away. Why do you want to do this?
Charlie also asked her, “Joke, I spared their dog lives, and I have given you enough face, why should I save them?”
Melba couldn’t help but said: “Obviously, they can be free again as long as you say a word, but why are you unwilling to help them?!
“Help them?” Charlie sneered and asked her: “Why? There are millions of refugees in Syria and more than 700 million people in Europe. It is obvious that as long as everyone in Europe donates a fist-sized bread a day, they can completely feed them. Let them eat white bread and get fat, but why do these refugees still have no place to eat?”
After speaking, Charlie asked: “Africa has 400 million extremely poor people, and the population of developed countries in the world adds up. Nearly one billion, obviously as long as people in these developed countries, as long as every two people in developed countries feed an African, there will be no more extremely poor people in Africa, but why don’t they do this?”
Melba was suddenly caught by the question and was speechless, her face flushed, but she couldn’t find a suitable reason to refute it.
Charlie asked in a cold voice at this time: “You always think it’s easy for me to save them with a word, and you think I must save. This in itself is a brainless paradox! Bill Gates is so rich, and it is easy to spend 10 billion US dollars. Why don’t you let him pay a ransom of 70 million US dollars to rescue these seven compatriots?”
Melba blurted out “You are secretly changing the concept!”
Charlie sneered, “Secretly changing the concept?
“Okay, I ask you, one of them is my relative?
“I will ask you again, seven of them among them , can one of them be my brothers? “Of the seven of them, one of them is my friend?
” “Of the seven of them, one of them is my compatriot?”
“It’s not my relatives, my brothers, my friends, my compatriots!”
If I help someone who is not related to me, it is a sentiment; if I don’t help him, it is a duty!
“Even if I can help them with just one sentence, I can rely on! What! What! Want! Help!
