The Minister of the Interior quickly returned to the scene with his manpower. This time he went directly to the on-site command location and took over the command very simply.
The military general who was taken over the command did not get angry. Instead, he smiled friendly and relieved at the Minister of the Interior.
Naturally, he is under a lot of pressure. His subordinates have to bear the dissatisfaction with the casualties and the pressure from above. Now that someone has appeared to help him share the pressure, he naturally couldn't be happier!
The only one who is unhappy is the police chief. He could have been a salty fish in the corner, but now that the Minister of the Interior is commanding him, he has to pick up the little white flag again and become a negotiating ambassador, crossing the corpses and bomb craters on the ground, trembling with fear. to the Palace of Justice.
This time the guerrillas didn't have a good attitude toward him. They started kicking and punching him, and the director screamed and screamed. Seeing that the group got more and more angry and wanted to use props, the leader of the guerrillas called them to stop.
Then someone brought the director into the room.
It was still the same room as before, and the body of the chief judge was still lying there with a dead eye on it. The blood on the ground had solidified, making it so slippery that the director almost fell down.
"I'm just here to convey a message. The Minister of the Interior has now taken over the command. He hopes that this matter can be resolved peacefully and that no more lives will be lost, whether it is the hostages, you or the soldiers!"
"A peaceful solution? How can that guy be so kind?"
"After all, we have to solve the problem after all!"
A forced smile appeared on the director's miserable face.
"Then agree to our conditions!"
"Your conditions are too many and you have to consider them one by one. And how do we know you won't break your promise? What if we do what you say and you kill the hostages?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"In this case, we will send a doctor over later to check on the hostages. You release the old people and the wounded so that we can convince the people above. What do you think?"
The director cautiously probed.
The guerrilla leader was silent, but his frown showed that he was thinking at the moment. Before the action started, he and his brothers made preparations that they would not be able to go back. But when the fight actually started, everyone's preparations were long gone. Shadow, even the leader couldn't help but want to shake his legs when no one was around.
Therefore, the police chief's words undoubtedly moved his heart.
But equally, he did not believe that the police and the army would really be so kind, so in the end, he did not agree to the director's request and instead drove him back.
The director, who thought that the negotiation had failed and that he would be criticized when he returned, did not expect that after hearing the report, the interior minister not only did not get angry, but actually laughed.
"It's all in your prediction! Mr. Hannibal!"
"Fortunately, it was just a fluke!"
Hannibal, who was sitting in the command post, smiled and glared fiercely at Plumlee in the corner.
It's all because of this guy's talkativeness. After the Minister of the Interior took over the command, he hoped that Shadow Company could serve as a consultant to help him solve this trouble. Hannibal's reaction at the time was that he was dreaming. How could He De of Shadow Company dare to bear such a heavy burden? Responsibility?
But later he realized that the Minister of the Interior wanted Shadow Company's psychological warfare team to come and help.
Although on weekdays, this group does not have a high level of presence, and sometimes they even serve as the company's psychiatrist. Their usual combat mission is to play music and radio to harass the enemy, but in fact, there are many psychology talents among them. .
Now, this team has arrived at the scene and made several plans based on the information of the 19th Guerrillas.
The reaction of the guerrilla leader was naturally expected. Although the 19 guerrillas were hired by Pablo, there was a gap between the two sides after all. Pablo's bloody massacre frightened the guerrilla leader, so he chose to surrender. But to be loyal? Maybe it's not much, it's more about obedience caused by fear.
"Wait half an hour, go and give them something to drink!"
"Do you want to poison me?"
"Just a normal drink!"
The Minister of the Interior rolled his eyes at his subordinates. There were hundreds of armed men. How much weight would the poison have?
The police chief then dragged a trailer with several thermos buckets back to the guerrillas with great difficulty. He brought several large buckets of coffee, and it was the best coffee produced in Colombia.
The guerrilla leader hesitated immediately. He had no experience in this kind of thing, while the police chief simply opened the thermos bucket and took a few sips from each bucket to prove that there was no problem.
Then, those guerrilla soldiers who had not eaten or drank for most of the day immediately stepped forward to carve up all the hot coffee that they rarely had a sip of in the forest.
"This is our sincerity. Now, can you consider our previous proposal?"
After taking a sip of hot coffee, the guerrilla leader finally nodded.
"Okay, you can let the doctor in, and I will release the ten hostages! But I want you to complete our request as soon as possible!"
The director trembled when he heard this, and then he felt uncontrollable joy! ..
Soon, several doctors arrived with medical supplies under the leadership of the director. In a hall in a corner of the Palace of Justice, the director saw the hostages who were still alive. Most of them were fine, but a dozen were unlucky. Eggs were all injured, and they were all spectators in the court. When the guerrillas attacked the Palace of Justice, a tank bombarded the court, blasting the judge, defendant, plaintiff, and lawyers into the sky. There were also heavy casualties in the auditorium. , only a dozen or so people survived among dozens of people.
The director did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the doctor to check the condition of the wounded, and then contacted the Minister of the Interior outside to ask for someone to be sent to transport the wounded.
As an act of goodwill from the government, the Minister of the Interior is preparing to release several former 19 members held in prison and send them all to the Palace of Justice.
This made the communication between the director and the leader more harmonious. The director took the opportunity to bargain and asked for a few more places.
Soon, a group of medical personnel arrived at the scene and began to evacuate the wounded. During this period, the guerrillas did not act excessively, but instead helped the medical personnel with limited mobility.
Then, everyone outside the square saw more than a dozen wounded people being carried out.
At this moment, both the police and civilians could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"In this way, can we relax a little and solve this problem as soon as possible?"
The Minister of the Interior looked at the head of the psychological warfare team.
The latter shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but it could be the exact opposite development!"
