Stay at base camp?
Anyone can tell that this is a cliché.
Tang Xiaobao wanted to say something, but Tao Ran said majestically: "Alright, follow the order, the meeting is adjourned!"
Qin Zheng and Du Chong'an both left.
Tao Ran and his group were arranged to stay in a guesthouse by the municipal government. Now that it was so late, they naturally had to go back to the guesthouse to rest.
Hurrying out, Tang Xiaobao stopped Tao Ran and said with a frown, "General Tao, I want to join the action team."
"Okay, Mayor Luo, take them to the guesthouse first. Director Wang, wait for me to come up. I have something to discuss with you later."
After saying that, Tao Ran pulled Tang Xiaobao aside and said, "Hey, Xiao Tang, what are you doing? I've already given the order, and you're putting me in a difficult position. Military orders must be obeyed. How can you change them overnight?"
"Come on, General Tao, I see that you just don't want me to start the movement." Tang Xiaobao said with a wry smile.
Tao Ran said, "Okay, I'm glad you understand. I'm doing this for your own good. This mission is very dangerous. The other party is the AIK organization, which is known for its ruthless killing. They are capable of anything. I'm doing this for your safety."
"I'm not afraid of danger." said Tang Xiaobao.
"But I'm scared." Tao Ran patted Tang Xiaobao's shoulder and explained, "Do you know what your current status is? Do you know how much the higher-ups care about you? You are the treasure of our Huaxia nation now. Anyone can get into trouble, anyone can take risks, but you can't."
Tang Xiaobao was ashamed.
This kind of words sound nice, but it makes him feel suffocated.
Are you afraid that he's in danger?
Well, he wanted to believe that.
But he is a member of the Dragon Team, a member of the special operations team. Ordinary dangers are not a problem for him at all.
"General Tao, actually, I'm from Team Dragon. I have the ability to protect myself."
Tang Xiaobao simply said.
Tao Ran said, "I know."
"I'm still in the special operations team."
"I know that too."
Tao Ran said with concern, "If you weren't a member of Team Dragon, and if your girlfriend wasn't among the hostages, do you think I would have let you join the leadership team? Let me be frank. You are on the leadership team in a consulting capacity, just like an observer. We can disclose our case details to you because we're worried about you, but you definitely can't participate in the actual operation."
Tang Xiaobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why?"
"Because we are responsible for your safety."
"I said, I'm safe, they can't hurt me, and I have a way to rescue the hostages."
"What can you do?"
Tang Xiaobao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
After thinking about it, he simply said, "I can just find my way to where the hostages are being held by myself."
Tao Ran laughed. "Are you kidding? Is this your plan? Forget it. Xiao Tang, please stop embarrassing me. Just ignore this matter and wait at home. If anything happens, I'll contact you immediately and let you know the progress of the case so I don't have to worry. How's that?"
"not good."
Tang Xiaobao was a little annoyed and had a headache.
"I've always wanted to join the action team, and with my skills, I think I can be of great help. Don't forget, I'm the leader of the martial arts world, and I can find a group of real martial arts masters to work with me."
"A martial arts master?" Tao Ran frowned. "You mustn't do anything reckless. The country cares about you and takes care of you, but you also have to be a good person and do things well. Let me put it this way. I know you're good at martial arts, but do you know why we didn't send out the Dragon Team and the Special Operations Group?"
"Why?"
Tang Xiaobao was really curious.
"According to analysis from above, the AIK organization is targeting their former leader, Vasimi." Tao Ran glanced around and lowered his voice. "The AIK leader is still imprisoned in Yanjing. Their political conditions this time must be that we release Vasimi."
Tang Xiaobao still didn't understand: "And then?"
"We can't possibly agree to their conditions. China is a superpower, but the current international situation is complex. If we agree to their demands, it will affect our country's status and reputation in the international community. Combating terrorist organizations is a consistent position of the international community, and we must shoulder the responsibilities of a major power."
"I still don't understand."
Tao Ran said, "This operation is primarily based on negotiation. We can pay a little more, but we absolutely cannot release Vasimy. Negotiation is the main focus. Can we send the Dragon Team? That will only worsen the relationship between the two sides and could even cost the lives of the hostages."
Tang Xiaobao asked doubtfully, "But they definitely won't agree."
"You're wrong."
Tao Ran said confidently, "Do you know why all these hostages are alright? Because they're Chinese. We're the country that terrorist organizations least want to mess with. We have a strong motherland, and we're confident. You should also have faith in our country. As long as we're willing to pay them a little more and give them a way out, I believe they'll definitely stop when they see the opportunity and release the hostages. It's only a matter of time. You don't understand negotiation, so you can't get involved in this kind of thing."
"Okay, that's it. I've been frank with you. Don't do anything rash. Go back and rest. I'll let you know if anything happens. Just wait for good news."
Tao Ran left.
Tang Xiaobao was stunned.
Back at the hotel, he was still thinking about Tao Ran's words.
But when you think about it, there are problems with this statement.
If they were really afraid of China, why would they kidnap hostages?
Knowing that the country will not release their leader, isn't this a waste of time?
What if they are determined to take revenge?
Obviously, the reason why Tao Ran was so confident was all his wishful thinking, and it was all based on one premise, that is, the other party would really be afraid of China.
But what if it’s not like that?
sweat……
Tang Xiaobao broke out in a cold sweat.
If I guessed right, not only would Tao Ran be wrong, but the decisions and attitudes above would also be wrong. If I took one wrong step, all of them would be wrong, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
Tang Xiaobao couldn't help it, so he called Luo Wenbao and told him about his concerns.
But what surprised him was that Luo Wenbao actually agreed with Tao Ran's opinion and even advised him.
He called Director Wang again, and the result was the same.
I called Tao Ran again, and the call went through after three times, but Tao Ran's attitude remained the same, and he repeatedly said that this was the intention from above.
So, after hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaobao was speechless.
Well, I hope everything goes as you imagined.
