The psychological warfare team analyzed the information on the guerrilla leader and concluded that he was irritable, erratic, aggressive and reckless.
Therefore, the friendly communication between the director and the other party at this moment does not mean anything. The other party still holds hundreds of hostages, and apart from the civilians who have just been released, three-quarters of these hostages are staff of the Palace of Justice. , including sixty judges, it will probably take more effort to release these people.
And sure enough, just when the director was discussing the hope that the guerrillas would release twenty more hostages, he was sternly rejected by the guerrilla leader. He asked the government to fulfill his request first, otherwise the negotiations would be suspended.
This made everyone who was still looking forward to the situation feel cold. The Minister of the Interior was no longer as relaxed as before, and instead began to think about which of the conditions offered by the other party could be fooled.
Soon after the interior minister communicated with the president, the latter approved one million Colombian pesos in cash, which he then showed to the guerrilla leader.
Moreover, the Minister of the Interior urgently asked his own people to record a video. This was a video of him disbanding the task force and dealing with Carrillo and other officers. Because the military police had cut off all signals and power supplies to the Palace of Justice and nearby facilities, so, The guerrillas didn't know it was fake, but after watching the speeches of their friends in the media and the Minister of the Interior in the video, they chose to believe it, and often the director also said that the money was being raised, and after an hour, it would be returned. I can send another 1.5 million pesos.
This action immediately dispelled the doubts of the guerrilla leader and made him agree to release twenty more hostages.
But the leader rejected the director's plan to select people. He knew that the other party would definitely give priority to important hostages, so he gave the director twenty hostages such as cleaning and gardeners.
As for the judge, don’t even think about it!
From then on, the negotiations tended to stagnate. No matter how hard the director tried, the guerrilla leader refused to release the hostages. He even received a warning shot when the director approached.
The leader made it clear that unless the government agrees to abrogate the extradition treaty, nothing else will be discussed.
In fact, it is not just the government that is paying attention to the development of the situation here. Pablo is also watching the live broadcast, and he also has a mobile phone in his hand that is used to contact the guerrilla leader. On the phone, he directly asked the leader to refuse any negotiations. If the police continue to struggle, kill a few hostages.
Regarding Pablo's request, the guerrilla leader had no other choice but to obey unconditionally.
As a result, the situation that had just become clearer became confusing again, and the guerrilla soldiers who had lowered their guard also took up arms again and became murderous.
"Is there any way now?"
"That's the only thing left!"
The Minister of the Interior looked at the subordinates who were also helpless around him and could only nod.
"Then bring them!"
They refer to the family members of some of the 19th guerrilla soldiers. It is impossible that all the guerrillas in Nuovo University are people who have no worries and want to do big things. Even the leader of the guerrillas coaxed a female college student with a bright future. She joined the guerrillas and planned to become his wife, and there were many other people who were concerned about her.
Carrillo's task force had already picked up several family members of guerrilla soldiers by helicopter and brought them to the scene without revealing their identities. Next, it was time for these family members to play their role.
As the loudspeakers were put in place, an old lady's unclear voice soon sounded in the square.
"Karl, my little Karl, are you there?"
This is an old lady who lives alone. Her grandson suddenly joined the 19th Guerrilla Group a few years ago and then disappeared. After Carrillo told the other party about the situation, his body was already half rickety. It was difficult to walk and he could not even read. The old lady who had been studying for several years agreed to Carrillo's request without hesitation.
"My grandson did something bad, then I have to correct him!"
Accompanying him were parents looking for their son and a pregnant woman looking for her husband. These people came from various regions of Colombia. Carrillo did not threaten them.
Instead, tell the other party directly that if they are willing, just leave the identity secret to him. If they are not willing, then just treat him as if he has never been here.
A considerable number of family members rejected Carrillo's proposal, and he kept his promise not to disturb these people anymore, but those who should be monitored still had to be monitored, and these dozen family members were the only ones willing to help.
They didn't think too much about the matter, they just didn't want any more innocent casualties, whether they were civilians, government troops, or family members.
As a result, the call was transmitted to the guerrillas through the radio, and soon there was a commotion among the alert guerrillas.
The police chief once again struck while the iron was hot and once again walked toward the guerrilla positions holding the white flag high.
The leader of the guerrillas did not expect that the government forces would have such a trick. The guerrillas, whose military morale was already unstable, were even more shaky at this moment. After all, the family members of the guerrillas were with the government forces anyway. It would be fine if the other party kept their promise, but if not If they keep their promises, the safety of their families cannot be guaranteed.
As a result, the guerrilla leader had to give in again. He expressed his willingness to release all the remaining female hostages, but only if the government forces sent the guerrillas' family members back to where they came from. ..
"Look, you actually don't want those innocent people to die!"
When arranging for the hostages to leave, the director did not forget to give the guerrilla leader a good guy card.
But the so-called negotiations could only end here. Pablo also saw the scene of the hostages being released, so he furiously called the guerrilla leader again and told him that now the top ten officials were immediately pulled out. The hostages will be executed, otherwise, his men will bloodbath the guerrilla camp.
"If we do this, there will be no room for relaxation, Mr. Pablo!"
"Then it's more important to do it. Don't forget, why are your people still alive now? That's because I allowed you to live. If you let me hear any more negotiations to release the hostages, then you will wait to see your men cut into pieces by five horses. Bar!"
Then Pablo hung up the phone.
The guerrilla leader looked at the last cup of coffee that was already cold in front of him and made up his mind. Then he drank the coffee in one gulp, and then led his men down to the hall where the hostages were.
"Bring out the eldest of the ten officials!"
"Shall we free them, Chief?"
"No, we're going to kill them!"
