Chapter 906: Special way to France
“Buying for time? What time to buy? Why should we buy time?”
Casel was a little confused about the situation. He held the letter sent by the kidnapper. The three girls were holding photos of that day's Le Parisien with tears in their eyes. They became anxious when they heard Jack say that he could not believe that the kidnappers would let him go.
"Buy time for us to rush to Paris." Jack said calmly.
Whoever left him the note, judging from the way he tortured Roger Hansen, it must be someone with a background related to covert operations.
In other words, would a kidnapping case involving a secret agent be an ordinary kidnapping and ransom case?
Perhaps being forced to take a rest by Jack this morning had some effect, or perhaps it was the continuous stimulation of great joy and great sorrow that allowed Cassel to finally recover part of his IQ.
After bowing his head in silence for a moment, he looked up again, his eyes a little clearer, "I will contact those friends who have private jets."
Unexpectedly, Jack smiled mysteriously, "No , we took a transport plane over.”
Since the TU-144 and Concorde retired from the stage of history, mankind has never had a supersonic passenger aircraft. The fastest flight time from New York to Paris has been reduced from the original 3. Hours and 20 minutes have been reduced to 8 hours today.
Even taking a military transport aircraft cannot effectively shorten this time, because transport aircraft are not much faster than civilian airliners. At most, the waiting time for flights and cumbersome customs clearance procedures are eliminated.
Unless Jack can get a two-seat supersonic fighter jet, stuff Cassel in the magazine or hang it on a missile rack, and then fly over Paris to abandon the plane and parachute, they will be able to escape the kidnapper's request. Arrived within three hours.
Jack had no intention of rushing to Paris within three hours, nor did he plan to enter France through normal channels. Although Rossi gave the wanted criminal group a status similar to the international department, it could handle cases and pursue internationally wanted criminals across borders. commit.
Before, when I went to South Korea, I just left as soon as possible, and even took a military transport plane directly in order to rush for time. But the problem is that they are going to France now, one of the top five gangsters in the United Nations.
Even when handling cases in a semi-colony like South Korea, the FBI went through the communication process through the embassy and South Korean officials in accordance with normal procedures.
Compared with the big countries in the universe, France is still a relatively normal developed European country.
Even if the relationship between the United States and France is quite close to some extent, the FBI will often enter France in the name of assisting in counter-terrorism. However, if you follow the normal process step by step, it will take at least a day or two. time.
Although this world has been filmed, the underlying logic still operates according to the logic of the real world. Therefore, even in South Korea, Jack could only act as low-key as possible.
He beat people with his fists together with the god Ma Dongxi. Even if he beats all the gangsters to paralysis, South Korea will try to help cover it up. But in ordinary cases, once he shoots in an official capacity, it attracts public attention. , dogs will bark twice when they are anxious.
Besides, even if Jack goes to France in an official capacity, he will most likely only be able to observe the case by assisting in the case and will not be able to participate in person.
So can they trust the French police's ability to handle cases?
Sorry, let’s not talk about the thieves and robbers everywhere in Paris today. Just from the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine in the center of Paris in 2015, the Paris police’s poor response capabilities It makes people feel hopeless.
There is no need to count on the normal route, and Jack has no intention of entering France with his real identity, because he will definitely bring Cassel and Brian with him.
Jack was deeply impressed by the movie "Taken". Even though many details have been blurred, the general plot of Brian killing Albanian gangsters by himself and finally saving his daughter from a human trafficking organization left him with a deep impression. Never forget it.
Although the plot has changed beyond recognition now, and an unidentified guy has appeared, but judging from his acting style, it is obvious that he is also an evil star who is as trouble-making as Brian. If Jack was involved as an FBI, he might be in trouble if he even wanted to go to other European countries, let alone France.
Fortunately, in addition to Ou Meng, there is a military organization called NATO in the world today. Although the United States does not have troops stationed in France, it does have another kind of military presence called temporary deployment.
The good relationship that Jack maintained with the Joint Special Operations Command came into play at this time. Six hours later, a C-17 "Globemaster" transport plane landed in Lorraine, eastern France. Reynaldsens Air Force Base, Metz Region.
Wearing a military uniform and sunglasses, with most of his face covered with a fake beard, Jack stepped off the plane, followed by Cassel and Brian, who were similarly dressed.
As Jack expected, three hours ago, the kidnappers who received a ransom of 15 million euros only released Sara Elmasri. Alexis and Kim did not show up to deliver the ransom. the scene.
According to the rescued Sarah, she was anesthetized almost the entire time and was in a dazed state. After waking up, the three girls did not know that they were actually in Paris until they were forced to take pictures with newspapers.
However, Sarah still provided some few clues, such as the fact that their kidnappers had been communicating in Arabic.
In addition, the time from when she was separated from the other two girls to when she was taken alone to pay the ransom should not have exceeded one hour, which also proves that Alexis and Kim should be in Paris at this time.
"They are just for ransom, aren't they? Why not let the three girls go together?" Cassel asked eagerly, following Jack.
When he learned the news on the plane, he almost went crazy and was extremely excited. He didn't calm down until he received a blow from Brian.
It wasn't because he had learned a lesson, it was simply because he was knocked unconscious. He didn't wake up until the C-17 landed.
In fact, Brian was not as calm as before, and his mood was obviously more depressed. Along the way, he kept playing with the pistol Clay helped get, a "Spotted Viper" SR-1MP.
“If you think about it from a bad point of view, Alexis and Kim are the bargaining chips in this kidnapping case, used to ensure that the kidnappers can successfully complete the ransom payment.
From a good point of view Considering it from the perspective, maybe Sarah was not the real target from the beginning to the end."
Under the guidance of a sergeant, Jack took out three sets of casual clothes from his bag and motioned for them to change into them.
"What do you mean?" Cassel pulled Jack and wanted him to explain clearly. Even Brian cast a puzzled look. He also failed to understand the logic.
“If it’s the former, it means that the two girls have no value and can be disposed of at will, so I prefer the latter. The other party’s use of Sarah to extort ransom is just a cover, and the real target is Alex One or the other of Kexisi and Kim, or both.”
Jack quickly changed his clothes and urged Cassel not to fuss.
"I contacted some old guys and didn't receive any clear threatening information." Brian frowned.
Cassell is just an ordinary best-selling author. According to his recollections over the past two days, the closest contact he had with the words spy and agent was probably when he went to the CIA in order to write a book. Headquarters in Langley did some research.
"Is it possible that some fish slipped through the net, such as a child who was let go because of your mercy, and now he has grown up to be the leader of a terrorist organization and has come to seek revenge from you." A certain writer began to use his imagination.
