Chapter 3359 Thirty-Second Battle
Prince Aziz smiled with delight upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's quick agreement.
"What I need your help with is to rescue the hostages inside."
When Aziz finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao was stunned on the spot.
When the other person mentioned India, he thought it was related to India.
I never expected them to bring up something so unexpected.
He stood there, shook his head, somewhat speechless.
Is rescuing hostages their job?
It's impossible for just a few of them to do it.
No, maybe Xiaowei can do it.
But Yang Xiaotao would never do that.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao shake his head, Faisal quickly explained, "Mr. Yang, does His Highness the Prince mean that you should go in to rescue people, or does he have another intention?"
Yang Xiaotao snapped out of his daze and looked at the two of them.
Upon seeing this, Prince Aziz realized that his words had been ambiguous and quickly shook his head, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly."
He then looked at Faisal, signaling for him to explain.
Faisal explained again, “Mr. Yang, it’s like this, we don’t have anyone specifically to deal with this situation right now, nor do we have any experience in this area.”
"And we know that you have a secret unit, just like the British SAS or the United States SEALs, right?"
After saying this, both of them stared at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao naturally knew what the other party was referring to: the domestic special forces.
I never expected that the reputation of this special forces unit would spread to the desert.
"Yes, we do have teams specifically for handling special situations."
Yang Xiaotao spoke calmly, and the two men's expressions brightened. Then Faisal continued, "Mr. Yang, given the current situation in the country, it is necessary to ensure the safety of these hostages."
"But with our current strength, we are simply unable to do these things, so we can only ask for your help."
Yang Xiaotao now understood what the two men meant: they wanted their help to rescue the hostage, and their requirements were very simple: ensure the safety of the hostage, and as for the others, it didn't matter.
After a moment's thought, Yang Xiaotao finally nodded.
Having already made a bold promise to help, they naturally can't go back on their word.
What are their demands? How long will it take?
Faisal hesitated for a moment before saying, "The demand is that His Highness the Prince step down."
"He gave us 24 hours to consider it."
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Prince Aziz, whose face was calm, but whose fists were clenched tightly.
Aziz would definitely not agree to such a condition.
If we don't agree, the hostages inside won't survive.
Those people probably never even considered leaving alive.
This incident would become a stain on Aziz's rule.
This stain could even affect his career.
No wonder they were in such a hurry.
Yang Xiaotao remained calm, but his mind raced.
Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as providing charcoal in the snow.
And now is the time.
As for whether we can win over the people inside, we can always ask Xiaowei for help.
This business is profitable.
"24 hours should be enough."
Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then quickly said, "I need to contact the domestic authorities and request their support."
Faisal nodded quickly, and Prince Aziz beside him also smiled.
He pleaded earnestly, "Mr. Yang, you must help me this time."
"If this incident can be handled properly, it will be a successful crisis management for me personally."
"If the safety of the hostages cannot be guaranteed, the consequences will be very serious."
As she spoke, she gripped Yang Xiaotao's hand tightly, "Yang, there aren't many people who can help me, but you are definitely one of them."
"please."
Yang Xiaotao simply nodded calmly, then quickly returned to his residence.
When the call connected again, Mr. Peng asked in confusion, "Xiao Tao, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Peng, there's something I need your help with."
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, President Peng's heart sank involuntarily, and he asked anxiously, "Tell me, don't rush, speak slowly."
"it is good!"
"Here's what happened."
Yang Xiaotao immediately gave a brief explanation of the situation and offered his opinion: "President Peng, it is said that it is easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow."
"But effort and reward are complementary."
"I personally think this is worthwhile."
After listening to Yang Xiaotao's words, President Peng's expression became extremely serious.
Even if it was at the request of the other party, he still had to consider the international impact of this situation.
In the end, Mr. Peng chose to believe Yang Xiaotao.
However, the people sent out were not there to carry out a mission, but rather arranged to go there under the pretext of protecting Yang Xiaotao.
As for personnel, it's too far for the Ninth Division's special forces to fly to the desert.
General Peng immediately ordered the two special operations teams from the Northwest to set off together and head to the desert.
This plan differs somewhat from what Yang Xiaotao had in mind.
But what Mr. Peng said is also true; sending people from Beijing would take too much time.
Moreover, the Northwest Wolves and the Snow Leopard Special Forces are also quite capable.
With the addition of our main member, Xiao Wei, there shouldn't be any problem.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao found Prince Aziz and Faisal waiting in the distance. "We have already dispatched two special forces teams, and they will be arriving by plane soon."
"This requires your assistance in making the necessary arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Prince Aziz grasped Yang Xiaotao's hand again, "Yang, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you for your help. I will remember this kindness."
Aziz's tone was excited, and Yang Xiaotao grasped his hands and shook them vigorously before saying earnestly, "Your Highness, we Chinese have a saying: 'When friends are in trouble, we should do our utmost to help.'"
"Although we are far apart, we are friends."
"If we're friends, there's no need for further explanation."
Prince Aziz nodded without saying another word, but his excited expression spoke louder than any words.
Faisal stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Mr. Yang, let's get through this difficult situation first."
"Then we'll have a good chat over drinks."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, then said to Aziz, "Your Highness, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"
Aziz nodded. "Mr. Yang, please go ahead."
Yang Xiaotao's expression turned serious, and then he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity."
“I think you can step forward and talk to them. This will both keep them calm and wage a war of public opinion against them.”
"Information war?"
The term caught Aziz and Faisal off guard, but being politically savvy, they quickly grasped its meaning after a moment's thought.
Their eyes lit up, and their gazes toward Yang Xiaotao changed once again.
“Mr. Yang, please come with me, let’s have a good talk.”
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "That's exactly what I want!"
At that moment, Wang Huzi in the Northwest suddenly received a call from Boss Peng.
After getting out of bed, Wang Huzi listened to Boss Peng recount the whole story.
Without much thought, Wang Huzi immediately rang the alarm bell on the door.
When the bell rang, the Snow Leopard Commando Team quickly assembled.
Meanwhile, the Northwest Wolf Special Forces of Red Star Manufacturing Plant were also rapidly assembling.
Before long, the two teams moved quickly and boarded a plane bound for the desert.
……
The sky is bright.
There are less than six hours left until the 24-hour mark!
During this time, Aziz and Faisal conspired to set a trap.
First, Aziz personally communicated with the people in the temple, making his stance clear: do not harm the hostages inside. Then he explained his beliefs to them.
Reporters from various countries began to follow up and report on the scene, and news stories were quickly transmitted to all parts of the world via radio waves.
In front of the temple.
Aziz had a compassionate expression, with tears welling in his eyes.
"I have dedicated my life to the strengthening of the desert, and this will remain my lifelong pursuit."
Aziz sat in an open car, half of his body exposed, and shouted into the microphone inside the car.
In his hand was a newly written note, which was actually a speech prepared by his team.
"I don't understand why you think we are weak."
"Please note that your feeling of weakness stems from your failure to acknowledge our victories."
"After years of hard work, we have finally taken control of the oil beneath this land."
"This is already a great victory."
What more can you ask for?
As Aziz shouted, the guards surrounding the car joined in the shouting.
More and more people became excited after hearing the news.
Only the masked man in the small temple had a livid face.
His gaze fell on a group of hostages lying on the ground, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
What the people outside are saying is different from the information they received.
According to the information they received, the person outside was a traitor.
There is no hope for this country unless it is defeated.
Without destroying this corrupt country, the tender shoots of freedom cannot grow.
Therefore, driven by their ideals, they carried out this mission without hesitation.
Moreover, they all made final preparations.
But now...
All eyes were on the bearded man at the head of the group.
The man was not masked; his burly face was expressionless, and he occasionally slapped his thigh with the gun in his hand. His gaze swept over the hostages lying on the ground, his expression sinister.
He didn't expect that the other party would actually step forward and challenge him to a duel.
According to their original plan, the other side would either launch a real attack with swords and spears, which was their preferred option.
They could use a victory to announce their arrival.
Or they simply ignore it.
And that's exactly what they wanted to see.
Those in power cannot hear the cries of those at the bottom, nor can they see the sacrifices made below.
At that time, they will use an even more tragic method to awaken the will of the 'people'.
That's their plan.
But no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect that the other side would not only not attack, but also not ignore them.
Instead, they used this opportunity to wage a propaganda war against them.
When it comes to guns and knives, these people who have worked hard to hone their skills for their dreams are never afraid.
But when it comes to talking, they're rather helpless.
Of those present, only the captain knew more about the situation and was able to find 'arguments' to argue with the other side for a few rounds.
But after the other party presented a series of data, they were now rendered speechless.
Seeing the suspicious looks from his subordinates, even the bearded captain was puzzled.
What are these guys thinking?
This is kidnapping.
Why are you trying to reason with the kidnappers?
The bearded man sneered, then shouted to his men, "They're all lying."
"It's all a psychological tactic; don't fall for it."
He then picked up a tin megaphone and shouted outside, "Stop talking nonsense, agree or disagree?"
"If you agree, do as we say, and we guarantee the safety of the hostages!"
"I disagree, hmph!"
The bearded man snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Aziz clenched his fists in the car, his face calm.
A note came from behind him, and he opened it with a delighted expression.
The note read, "Hold them off for ten minutes!"
Seeing this, Aziz spoke again, "We can discuss the conditions you have proposed."
Just as Aziz was shouting to attract the other side's attention, Yang Xiaotao was handing over the mission to the two special forces teams that had finished their rest.
The leader of the Northwest Wolves team is called Jackal, and the deputy leader is Desert Wolf, Li Baoguo, who is also Li Chengjun's son.
The snow leopard's captain is called Cloud Leopard, and he excels at long-range combat.
Both teams consisted of twelve people, all of whom were elite.
Beside them were 'warriors' specially selected by Faisal from the royal guard, but they were no match for these special forces soldiers.
Faisal, having traveled extensively over the years, has developed a keen eye for talent. He could tell at a glance that these men were comparable to the SEALs and SAS.
Yang Xiaotao gathered everyone into a circle, then spread out a map of the temple, which was marked with sixteen small red dots.
This was obtained by Yang Xiaotao through Xiao Wei's reconnaissance.
There were sixteen people inside, all armed.
"There were more than 300 hostages, all of whom were gathered in the middle courtyard and lying on the ground."
"There are still five and a half hours left until the deadline, but we won't wait until the last minute to make our move."
"Therefore, this time we need to take the initiative."
"It should be noted that they were all strapped with bombs."
Yang Xiaotao's gaze swept over the crowd, and all twelve nodded in unison.
Jackal, as the leader of this operation, immediately said, "Mr. Yang, leave it to us."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "We must ensure the safety of the hostages."
The jackal nodded. "Understood."
Soon, the jackals, the northwestern wolves, and the clouded leopard began to scout the surrounding area and then devised a raid plan.
At this moment, Xiao Wei also entered the temple.
Fortunately, the temple is planted with many date palm trees, which are evergreen trees that are over 20 meters tall and whose roots have spread to almost every corner of the temple.
This is Xiaowei's home turf.
Yang Xiaotao gave Xiaowei only one order: protect the hostage without revealing his identity.
Three minutes later, the jackal began assigning tasks.
The special forces members, each possessing unique skills, quickly got to work.
The wolves from the northwest entered from the east of the temple, while the snow leopards attacked from the north.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Faisal, who was standing nervously beside him, and casually said with a smile, "Friend, don't be nervous."
"Relax, take it easy."
Faisal glanced at Yang Xiaotao, a look of bewilderment on his face.
How could he not be nervous at such a critical moment?
At that moment, the special forces began their operation.
Faisal's heart tightened, and then he saw everyone disappear from sight.
The next second, several gunshots suddenly rang out.
Aziz, who was 'performing' in the distance, stopped making a sound, and a moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
The next moment, the temple gates suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed out.
On the other side of the temple, the twelve people quickly left at Yang Xiaotao's beckoning.
At the same time, Faisal immediately led his men into the temple, and then witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Sixteen people, each with a small hole in their head.
Thirty seconds!
The voice of the guard captain came from behind, filled with surprise and fear.
The guards around him all stared wide-eyed, at a loss for what to do.
Faisal shuddered, then suppressed his shock and said, "Clean up the entire scene, and do it quickly."
"Yes!"
After saying that, Faisal turned and walked out, wanting to have a good talk with Prince Aziz.
