"If you want to know which country's special forces you are facing, then I can tell you very responsibly: the one holding a shock bomb, a shotgun and an AR assault rifle is the American Swart. Head Wearing a gas mask, holding a lightweight MP5 submachine gun, it is the British SAS special forces, if you see the other party driving a helicopter gunship, an infantry combat vehicle, an RPG rocket launcher and a PKM general-purpose heavy machine gun, this is the Soviet Alpha team.”

"As for the position against terrorists, the United States and the European Union: if they can guarantee the safety of the hostages, they can negotiate with terrorists. Israel and other countries: they can guarantee the safety of the terrorists' families if they can guarantee the safety of the hostages. The Soviet Union: I am sorry that we have no formal anti-terrorism The only law that can be used is the principle of the exchange of fire in war, and it is the kind that does not leave anyone alive."

"Standard questions for judging terrorists in various countries, European Union: intelligence provided by informants of intelligence agencies. United States and Israel: waterboarding suspicious persons to extract confessions. Soviet Union: if a person looks like a terrorist, walks like a terrorist, behaves like a terrorist terrorist, then he is a terrorist."

Some countries expressed disdain for this slightly ironic propaganda issued by the Soviet Union, but they forgot that the religious extremists killed by the Soviet Union can be piled up to form a small hill.The reason why the Soviet Union has a stable society and few vicious terrorist attacks is due to the efficient operation of the KGB and its more bloody methods than terrorists.

However, there are always people who hate the Soviet Union trying to make the Russians pay the price. For example, the Croats who were just humiliated by the Soviet representative in the UN General Assembly Hall regard Moscow as the biggest obstacle to national independence.They expressed their desire to retaliate against the Soviet Union and let them know how terrible the Croats are.

A group of hate-filled youths leave the Croatian army, ready to exact bloody revenge on Soviet foreign agents.Their goal is the Soviet embassy in Beirut in Lebanon. They plan to secretly kidnap and assassinate in that politically turbulent place. There is also a very important reason. They inquired about Kozlo, who humiliated the Croats at the joint conference. Veitch was recently transferred to Beirut for work reasons.

"Since none of you are willing to help the Croatian people, then we will use blood to arouse the world's attention to us. Our people will never choose to remain silent and be slaughtered." The Croatian soldiers who arrived in Beirut began to study the Soviet embassy According to the layout, they will attack the Beirut ambassador, so that people all over the world can hear the demands of the Croats in front of the TV.

But these Croats also forget one thing, that is, in 1958, a group of impatient Islamic Liberation Front extremist groups kidnapped four embassy personnel and killed one of them.As a result, several other leaders of this extremist organization were directly killed by KGB agents after they were captured, and the corpses were dismembered and sent back.From then on, no one in Lebanon dared to attack the Soviet embassy.

The streets of the Middle East are always dusty. Men with kerchiefs on their heads are watching every move on the street. They are waiting for the Soviet ambassador's car to pass by on this road.These Croats also wondered why the route taken by the Soviets was always fixed. Aren't they afraid of terrorist attacks?

How did the Croats know that in Lebanon, the Soviets were even more terrorists than the terrorists? Even if extremist organizations are afraid of the crazy GRU, no extremist organization that does not open their eyes will kidnap Russians. Don’t get the ransom by then. The wives and children were all smashed into sieves by 30mm aircraft cannons.

Seeing several jeeps approaching in the distance, the Croats hiding Kalashnikov rifles under their white robes each played their own colors, preparing to intercept and kidnap the Beirut ambassador, as well as Koz in the jeep. Lovech.

The car was a little bumpy, and Kozlovich complained about why the senior officials in Moscow transferred themselves to the Middle East, a place of right and wrong, to work for half a year to avoid public opinion.Beirut Ambassador Anatov smiled and signaled to let his old friend relax, "Don't you know that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is? The Soviet embassy in Beirut is much safer than the American one."

"Are there the most armed personnel?" Kozlovich smiled wryly, and continued to look down at the documents in his hand.

"No, we have the worst reputation here, so bad that even terrorist organizations dare not do anything to us, and even Hezbollah has interests with the GRU here, so you are the most correct choice in Lebanon. "Anatov said, he took the information out of Kozlovich's hands, took out a bottle of wine from behind him like a magic trick, and shook it in front of Kozlovich.

"Although alcohol is generally not used in the Middle East, this rule is an exception for people who like vodka. My old friend, why don't we have a drink and talk." Anatov used alcohol to seduce Kozlov strange.

Kozlovich smiled, and just as he was about to take the bottle of wine in Anatov's hand, suddenly the car came to an emergency brake, and he was almost thrown from his seat.

"What's going on?" Anatov said dissatisfiedly, he accused the driver and said, "Be careful, if something happens, you can't afford it."

"I'm sorry, Ambassador Anatov, a fruit vendor in front suddenly fell down, and we had to stop the car." The driver tried to explain.But the GRU soldier who was sitting in the passenger seat and guarding Kozlovich and Anatov noticed something strange. He told the others to take care of the two senior foreign leaders, and then picked up his rifle and got out of the car to check.

But he didn't expect that he was shot in the heart by a bullet without warning as soon as he got out of the car. The gunshot penetrated the window glass in front of him and directly tore his heart muscle. This GRU agent I fell down on the spot.Looking in the direction of the gunshot, the white man who took out an Uzi submachine gun from the pile of fruits pointed the smoking muzzle at the other two vehicles.

"This is definitely the stupidest thing they have ever done. The GRU is very vengeful." Facing the attack, the Beirut ambassador did not show a panicked look, but watched the attack with interest what to do next.The security personnel in the other cars got out quickly, opened the door of Kozlovich's car, pulled the two senior Soviet officials to a safe rear, and called for reinforcements.

However, they obviously did not expect that the number of people planning the attack would be so beyond their imagination.Almost immediately after the Croatian disguised as a fruit vendor at the front fired the first shot, the second shot also rang out. This time, they shot directly at the ambassador's car, as if they had no intention of keeping alive.

Gunshots and shouts came and went, and more and more people surrounded the convoy, surrounded the limited number of GRU soldiers, occupied all directions of the building, and shot those people from all directions and angles.The soldiers protecting the ambassador are constantly dying. These are not civilians who have experienced nothing.The Croatian guerrillas have a wealth of assassinations, and it is not difficult to kidnap or kill a senior diplomat of the Soviet government.

Blood and dust were flying, but the riddled bodywork protected the ambassador from being concentrated by stray bullets. This kind of vehicle equipped with bulletproof devices is a must-have for every Soviet diplomat.

Contrary to Kozlovich's uneasiness, Anatov was calm. He even lit a cigarette to signal Kozlovich not to be too nervous.

When the last security guard fell at Anatov's feet, he clasped his hands on the back of his head, waiting for him to arrive.Sure enough, a group of guys with European accents rushed in and pointed their guns at Anatov.

Chapter 292 Don't Let Me Live

Anatov deliberately lowered his voice, leaned towards Kozlovich and said, "It sounds like Croatian, it seems that these guys are not here for me, Kozlovich, you were not at the United Nations General Assembly before. Did you offend those representatives of Croatia? I guess they are looking for you to seek revenge now."

Because both of them were forced to wear black masks, neither could see the other's expression clearly.However, Kozlovich was not as calm as Anatov. He asked with some anxiety, "Then what should we do? Also, why are you still so calm, Anatov?"

Someone held a gun against his spine from behind, but Anatov didn't show any panic.He just shrugged and whispered, "Because these idiots don't know who they've provoked."

The terrorist behind heard the two whispering, and pushed them forward roughly, urging them to leave quickly.And Anatov just gave Kozlovich a look, telling him to calm down.The two were taken hostage to a flying house. In the empty and dark room, a guy with a black mask on his head was sitting on the sofa waiting for them.And the person next to him is fiddling with a video camera.On the wall behind it are portraits of Croatian leaders.In this way, both Kozlovich and Anatov guessed the identities of these kidnappers at the same time, Croatian national independence fanatics who were active on the battlefield.

"It seems that you people are not capable of dealing with the Serbian army, so you use civilians to vent your hatred." Kozlovich said with a sneer, and he raised his head to look at the same indifferent eyes of the kidnappers.

"You are wrong, we want people all over the world to pay attention to what happened in Croatia." The bandit stood up, picked up the Kalashnikov rifle beside him, and pointed it at Anatov's head, "You guys The Russians are the biggest obstacle to the independence of Croatia, because you support the Serbian government, so you have to pay the price."

"So kidnap a country's ambassador and force the country's government to make concessions and no longer support the Serbian army?" Anatov shook his head, "If the leaders of your country are willing to use their brains, they will find that this is a very bad idea. Worse than you breaking up a country."

"But at least the whole world can hear the voice of the Croats, isn't it?" The kidnappers set up the video camera in front of the ambassador in Beirut, turned on the switch, and then forced the other party to face the camera, acknowledging the crimes of the Soviet Union to the whole world.But Anatov turned his head back and looked at him with a kind of cold eyes, staring at him so that the other person was hairy.

"I am now ready to sacrifice for the motherland, how about you?"

Although the two were unwilling to cooperate in every possible way, the bandits from Croatia still released a message to the world. The Soviet ambassador to Beirut is now in their hands. They ordered the Soviet government to give up supporting Serbia and ordered the army to evacuate their gathering place, otherwise Will be bombed in retaliation.

However, in this kidnapping incident, people all over the world cast sympathetic eyes on the Croatian kidnappers, not because the war displaced them, but because they chose the Soviet ambassador as the target of their kidnapping.The criminals in the German hijacking case turned blue with fright when they heard that the plane was going to the Soviet Union, and quickly asked the captain to change the course, and said something that all terrorists deeply sympathized with, "No, you are not allowed to go to the Soviet Union. There are KGB!"

"Evil Soviet government, or Serbs, listen to me. This is the Croatian National Liberation Front. This is the first and only time we warn you to get the Serbian army out of our land , Victory belongs to the Croats."

The screen on the TV turned to Anatov and Kozlovich who were kneeling on the ground. The masked bandit leader pointed at them and said, "We will give you six hours. If you announce your withdrawal, then we will execute these two diplomats. And this is the first execution, our people will do everything possible to kill the Soviet government personnel overseas until you retreat.”

The video is very short, only about 47 seconds, but these 47 seconds revealed a lot of information, enough for the Soviet intelligence agencies to respond.Kryuchkov pressed the pause button on the remote control and said to the people around him, "What do you think about this incident? It is simply a repeat of the 1985 incident."

Although the current KGB has been deprived of part of its power by Yanayev, this does not mean that they have lost their intelligence gathering capabilities.Terrorist attacks abroad like this still belong to their management.

Putin folded his hands on his chest, stared at the gangsters on the TV, and said after a long silence, "Revenge, take revenge against Croatia, aren't they patriots who love the Croatian nation? Then we will tell him, As long as you don't let anyone go for an hour, we will launch an airstrike on the Croatian region and use indiscriminate airstrikes to cover the entire area with artillery fire."

"Indiscriminate air strikes?" Kryuchkov suddenly realized that something bad might happen, and his pupils tightened instantly. He asked, "Do you mean that you plan to let the air force completely destroy that city in Croatia?"

An action not authorized by the United Nations is an act of aggression. Kryuchkov did not expect Putin's idea to be so bold. This is simply provoking the rhythm of representatives of Western European countries.

"In order to achieve its own political goals, NATO didn't care about the life and death of those civilians? Besides, since the Croats took the lead, it is necessary for us to let these people know what is the end of going against the Soviet Union!" As The deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Putin's voice is not loud, but every word reveals his tough guy and iron-blooded style. It is no wonder that he will become one of the candidates Yanayev appreciates and cultivates.

"And our plane did not launch an air strike against Croatia, but bombed it by mistake. To be fair, the right to speak in the world is determined by its own comprehensive strength. If we say it was a mistaken bombing, do other countries dare to have opinions? Dare to raise opinions Stand up and try?" Putin's approach can be said to have inherited the completely shameless behavior of the five permanent members of the Security Council, saying white is black, and calling a deer a horse, while other countries have not yet dared to ask for accountability for the behavior of the Soviet Union.

Only if they are tougher than terrorists, will these tyrannical guys be afraid of those more desperate lunatics.For terrorist organizations all over the world, the Soviet Union is an out-and-out lunatic.

"Okay, so what's next? Our diplomats are still in the hands of those terrorists. Will the air strikes make them compromise?" Kryuchkov expressed incomprehension of Putin's approach. The kidnapper was the leader of their organization. Even if the Soviet Union wanted to arrest the leader of the Croatian organization this time, it had to consider the complicated battlefield factors.

"The bombing was not done for the Croats, but for people all over the world, so that they can understand one thing. No one can stop the revival of an empire. It also dispels the people who are eager to move towards the Soviet Union as soon as possible." Putin The first thing to do is to use this kidnapping crisis to re-establish the prestige of the Soviet Union.

"There is a little friendship between the GRU and the Lebanese True Pig Party. I think they should be very willing to provide us with the information location of these Catholics so that we can find them smoothly. At that time, we will catch them all and show no mercy." Although Croatia and the Muslims seem to be on the same front, the conflict of beliefs between the two nations is equally terrifying.

As soon as Putin finished speaking, the closed door was suddenly opened, and a familiar figure came in from the door, bringing a strong sense of coercion to the audience. Even Kryuchkov watched When they saw the figure of the man, they couldn't help being awed, and everyone stood up at the same time to show their respect for the man in front of them.

The leader of the Soviet, the hell butcher of terrorists, General Secretary Yanayev personally came to supervise the rescue of this hostage crisis.

"I very much agree with what Putin said. Since they are unwilling to let people go, don't blame us for decisively bombing and attacking their country." Yanayev's thoughts coincided with Putin's. Since the other party blocked him, then Just run over their corpses.

Forgive these guys?That was just an act of God, and the Soviet was only responsible for sending them to the Lord.

"In terms of air strikes, I will coordinate the intelligence agencies and the air force, and let them carry out carpet bombing attacks on the Croatian military zone, destroying all the living forces who dare to resist. Let these kidnappers know that you dare to kidnap and kill two Soviet soldiers. Government diplomats, I'll have two hundred, two thousand, even twenty thousand Croats with me until they start trembling when they hear our names."

Yanayev's attitude is very tough. Back then, he could even do things like confrontation of aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean. Yanayev dared not do anything else.

"Connivance and appeasement will only fuel the arrogance of terrorists. In the eyes of the Soviet Union, these scumbags do not need to be restrained by legal procedures and will be thrown into prison. Instead, they will be treated with the law of engagement in war, and they will be shot to death directly, leaving no one alive!"

Chapter 293 Red Sea of ​​Fire

One advantage of a socialist country under the people's dictatorship is that it can rely on the political elites to pass bills quickly in making decisions on certain major events, thereby buying precious time for emergencies.At least you won’t be like those congressmen in Congress who are sitting on chairs and blowing the air conditioner to make irresponsible remarks. When you finish the meeting and talk, you don’t have to act anymore, just go straight to collect the corpse.So the capitalist boardroom is the best way to delay solving problems.

Just after the decision was made, the Soviet government negotiated urgently with the Serb government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, telling them that the Soviet Union was going to send the air force to attack the territory of the Croatian rebels, and the Serbian army had better provide ground guidance for the Soviet air force. After all, the intelligence war still needs them to provide.
