Chapter 722: Tough Dialogue (asking for monthly ticket)
"What did he say, there's a bomb!?"
"Damn it, is this true?"
As soon as Gu Ji said this.
This immediately frightened all the Russian soldiers and tourists present.
Even Evan and Old Buller beside him stared at Gu Ji with their eyes wide open.
"impossible!"
The thin soldier immediately retorted loudly, with his index finger on the trigger, as if he might shoot at any time: "I have searched all of you carefully. There is no chance that you could bring the bomb onto the submarine!"
"Are you sure? Have you checked every person and every position?"
Gu Ji stared at the other person, his eyes as cold as a tiger's.
The thin soldier's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was shocked by his "calm and composed" appearance.
After all, there are so many tourists on site.
No one can guarantee that every position has been touched carefully.
But he finally frowned and said in a cold voice: "Even if what you said is true, so what? It still can't change the fact that he was killed!"
"You're right."
Gu nodded and suddenly grinned: "But once I am killed, the bomb will explode. It may not sink the submarine, but this place is very close to the engine room. If it attracts the attention of battleships or anti-submarine aircraft, then..."
"How dare you threaten me!!"
The thin soldier suddenly roared, veins bulging on his neck.
At this moment, his companion hurried forward and lowered the muzzle of the gun. He whispered something in his ear, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down.
"You are not ordinary tourists. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"It's simple. Tell your men to stand back. I want to talk to your top commander!"
"Just you?"
"The initiative is in my hands now. You have no choice."
Faced with Gu Ji's threat, the thin soldier gritted his teeth, but finally he had no choice but to ask a companion to go over and report.
See this scene.
Gu Ji became even more convinced that the submarine's communications must have failed.
Otherwise, the thin soldier could have reported through the submarine radio.
"Have your men stand back."
Gu Ji pointed at the soldiers guarding the corridor again.
Because the end of this corridor is the cabin room, which cannot be entered without a key, so they are trapped in this corridor.
The thin soldier seemed to have noticed this as well, so he raised his left hand and waved it backwards, "Everyone, listen up, step back five steps!"
While the soldiers were retreating en masse.
Evan immediately strangled the kidnapped soldier hostage and hid in a small dark room with a few people, staring and shouting: "Damn it! Gould, you are crazy!"
"Yes, Gould. If you fabricate a bomb, these Russian soldiers will not let us go, and..."
Old Buller's face grew paler as he spoke, and he seemed to be caught off guard by this series of unexpected situations.
"From the moment Evan decided to attack the Russian soldiers, there was no turning back. If I hadn't told you there was a bomb, I would have been shot to pieces!"
Gu Ji's eyes were firm and steady.
It's easy to calm down.
Evan thought about it carefully and nodded suddenly. "Gould is right, but now that the matter has become so serious, how are you going to end it?"
"It's very simple. We have Mr. Abranovich!"
"I?"
When the Russian timber tycoon heard Gu Ji calling his name, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, didn't you say that you have a good relationship with the Russian Deputy Minister of Defense? When they call the top commander over, I will take you to negotiate with him privately and admit that all this is just a farce."
After Gu Ji said this, he observed silently.
Rustam hugged his girlfriend and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Evan and Old Buller exchanged glances quickly.
His complexion seemed to be a little better.
In the end, it was Evan who spoke first: "Mr. Abranovich, are you sure you can really talk to the Russian Ministry of Defense?"
"Of course, I helped arrange the job for the Deputy Minister of Defense's son. He owes me a big favor!"
Abranovich immediately straightened his chest and looked extremely determined.
"That'll be easy!"
Evan agreed to Gu Ji's negotiation plan and put his hand on his shoulder. "But the Russian submarine commander will definitely not meet with us alone. I will also participate in the negotiations in a while, just in case!"
"can."
“I want to join in, too!”
Just when Gu Ji nodded in agreement.
Rustam on the side suddenly raised his hand.
Evan frowned, a fierce look flashed across his face: "Why are you joining in? As a cheerleader?"
"My father made a deal with Usozyukov, maybe he can help..."
Perhaps frightened by Evan, Rustam took a half step back before daring to speak.
Old Buller couldn't help but ask back.
"Who is he?"
"Another deputy minister of the Russian Ministry of Defense. We don't know who is in charge of this military submarine. We may have a better chance if we bring him along!"
Without waiting for Rustam to answer, the Russian businessman explained first.
"Okay, then it's the four of us!"
Gu Ji's words had just fallen.
He then noticed several Russians walking hurriedly towards him in the corridor. The one leading them was a fat, red-faced man wearing a dark blue officer's uniform.
"Who is looking for me?"
"I!"
After hearing the English translation, Gu Ji shouted, threw the rifle to Old Buller, spread out his hands, and walked out of the small dark room completely.
Just a flash.
There were countless guns pointed at his head.
"What are you looking for from me?"
Since Gu Ji didn't show much in this round, the red-faced fat man looked at him straight in the face for the first time.
"This is a very important matter, concerning your life and the lives of everyone on the submarine!"
"Oh?"
The red-faced fat man's eyes flashed with horror, "Tell me, what's going on!"
"I hope I can find a place to sit down and talk slowly."
At this point, Gu Ji deliberately raised his wrist and tapped his expensive Blancpain watch, "Just a reminder, you don't have much time left."
The red-faced fat man's expression changed slightly.
It seemed that he mistakenly thought that Gu Ji was talking about the sonar and communication failure that had just occurred on the "Losharik" submarine.
That's right.
This is exactly the result Gu Ji wanted.
Any bomb, if it cannot be seen, is fake and cannot be believed by the senior submarine officers.
Only things that actually happened.
That's what makes these Russians nervous.
really.
When Gu Ji said these words, his impact factor began to soar.
"Okay, I can give you this opportunity."
The red-faced fat man agreed immediately, but then changed the subject, "However, if you can't bring me useful information, I'm sorry, you and your friends will have to pay a very heavy price!"
"no problem."
As he spoke, Gu Ji glanced at Evan and the others, shook his head, and motioned for them to follow.
Evan nodded.
He first glanced at Rustam's model girlfriend, and perhaps thinking that she didn't know how to use a gun, he put the pistol away, hid it behind his waist, and covered it with clothes.
As for the Russian businessman and Rustam, they looked at each other.
With a look of panic on his face, he walked out of the small dark room tremblingly.
"Wait! Does this conversation require so many people?"
The thin soldier was already unhappy with Gu Ji, and when he saw three more people following him, he immediately raised his gun to stop them.
"How do I know you won't suddenly change your mind and attack me? What's wrong with bringing a few more people to ensure safety?"
Gu Ji walked straight up to the soldier and faced the gun without any fear.
"Damn it! I think you don't want to live..."
"Let them come over!"
Suddenly, the red-faced fat man interrupted and asked the soldiers to let Gu Ji and the other three pass through the corridor without even searching them.
This may be the confidence of senior military officers.
In this submarine, the red-faced fat man has absolute confidence that he can control everything.
Even if Gu Ji and others really opened fire.
There is nowhere to escape under this deep sea, and sooner or later you will be killed.
I don’t know if this is also the reason.
This time, Gu Ji and the others were not masked, but followed the red-faced fat man all the way to the third floor.
along the way.
The images that Gu Ji had previously perceived through sound began to correspond one by one with the real scenes.
He could feel that no matter where this submarine went, it exuded two words: narrow!
All aisles are so narrow that only two people can sit side by side.
The white metal anti-rust paint walls surrounding the submarine are all curved.
This may sound like nonsense.
But this is also true in the front and back of the corridor.
This means that the interior of the submarine is divided into one huge ellipsoidal space after another, which is equivalent to a "small submarine". Each space is connected by a narrow circular watertight door, just like the connection between train carriages.
The benefits of doing this.
On the one hand, it can maximize the use of the boat space;
On the other hand, once the submarine is attacked and a hatch is damaged and flooded, the other hatches can be blocked by watertight doors to ensure safety and reduce losses.
Generally speaking.
When designing submarines, countries tend to divide them into a smaller number of compartments.
For example, the US Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine and the British Supporter-class conventional submarine have only three compartments, namely the command compartment, reactor compartment and main and auxiliary engine rooms, while Germany's Type 3 submarine is also divided into only four compartments.
But Gu Ji had to pass through at least four cabins before he reached the spiral staircase in the front center of the submarine.
This indicates that there are at least three or four cabins at the front of the submarine.
This is completely different from modern submarine design.
More cabins mean more functional divisions.
"As expected of the Russian Deep Sea Research Agency, I wonder how many secrets are hidden in this submarine..."
Gu Ji was secretly shocked.
Although Evan on the side had restrained himself a lot, his eyes were still rolling around so fast that they almost popped out of their sockets.
Come to the door of a room on the left side of the third floor.
The two soldiers at the door immediately stopped and saluted.
Perhaps because there were more people this time, Fatty Red did not choose the small anti-eavesdropping room from the previous round, but the submarine conference room.
Push the door open.
There were only a few tables and chairs in the narrow space, making it look like a school class. Although it was a bit shabby, it was considered quite "luxurious" in a military submarine.
When there are submarines celebrating, this place will become a restaurant;
In the event of an emergency injury, the conference room can be transformed into an emergency operating room.
The screen in front of the conference room is off.
The blackboard on the wall was also wiped clean.
Obviously.
Even if they couldn't escape from the submarine now, the red-faced fat man had no intention of leaking any military secrets.
"Can you speak freely this time?"
The red-faced fat man sat in the center of the front, and the thin soldier was responsible for translation.
He was accompanied by two Sea Dog special forces, and there were at least two guards on duty at the door, so there was absolutely no problem with security.
result.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Russian businessman couldn't help but start flirting with him in Russian.
"Sir, my name is Abranovich. I am friends with your Deputy Defense Minister Ruslanva. If you don't believe me, you can send a message to verify it. We just want to return to the ground..."
"Okay, we'll verify it. Anything else?"
The red-faced fat man nodded and continued to question.
Seeing the other party's indifference, the Russian businessman suddenly panicked, thinking that this military submarine was not under the jurisdiction of Ruslanva, whom he knew.
After all, there are 12 deputy ministers in the Russian Ministry of Defense, some of whom have not had a formal military career.
For example, the female deputy minister he knew, her main job was actually Federal State Secretary, and her position in the Ministry of Defense was only a part-time position.
So he quickly pushed Rustam up again.
"This person, this person knows Usodyukov and is also the Deputy Minister of Defense, right?"
The red-faced fat man hummed.
His tone gradually turned colder, and he was obviously getting impatient. "Any other news?"
"This……"
The Russian businessman was speechless for a moment and could only look at Gu Ji and Evan in panic.
Evan was also very troubled at this time.
Unexpectedly, the officer in front of him did not give any face to the two deputy defense ministers at all.
finally.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Ji.
"The bomb was fake."
"Gould!!"
did not expect.
As soon as Gu Ji opened his mouth, he scared several people.
Evan was even so shocked that he blurted it out on the spot.
To know.
In their eyes, the reason why they could sit here and talk face to face with the submarine's highest commander was because of the non-existent bomb.
But now, once it’s revealed.
Then the Russian army will no longer have any scruples and can simply order the killing of all of them.
"I knew the bomb thing was fake."
What surprised them even more was...
The red-faced fat man was not surprised at all. Instead, he replied calmly:
"You can't possibly escape the soldiers' inspection. Even if it is very concealed, its power can't be that great. But I'm very curious about what happened that made you stand in front of me so confidently. Tell me, Mr. Gould!"
"The submarine has had an accident, right?"
"Oh? I see... you did it?"
"What do you think?"
Gu Ji and the red-faced fat man looked calm.
But every word he spoke was more shocking than the last.
This left Evan and the others confused and frightened.
And during the conversation.
Gu Ji's influence factor in the upper right corner was also rising, and had already exceeded his highest value: "5.43!"
but.
Instead of being panicked, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Insider.
In this room!!
