Untouchable: Reaper of the Battlefield

While Al Samad was recording his speech with red lips, vows tried to contact the dragon again over the radio. Again, however, the metal door of the thick bunker did not pass through the radio waves.

The vows thought it would be better if things didn't go radio. It was evidence that the door had not yet been opened by the enemy.

Basement level three.

The three basement floors of the Public Palace are made up of two completely separate spaces.

One side is where the boiler room he visited when he was sneaking in. Complex space with bunkers and numerous passageways on the other side.

According to the information obtained from the enemy, there are six enemies lurking around the bunker. However, due to a failed infiltration operation, we have no idea how many hostiles are currently encamped.

To get to the third floor underground where the bunker is located, you need to cross the lobby on the first floor to the end of the opposite corridor.

Seowon, who came out of the hidden basement on the second floor, decided to use the central, illuminated staircase in the middle of the hallway to go up to the first floor instead of the stairs he had used so far.

He knew from experience that light and spacious places can be safer than dark and narrow places when the enemy was fully aware of the intrusion.

While everyone's gaze was drawn to the dark staircase, they thought it was probable that it would be safe to suddenly appear in the middle of the first-floor corridor through the central stairwell used by employees to access the restaurant.

I could have been caught on surveillance cameras, but I had to take that risk.

He made a plan and moved at a rapid pace.

* * *

The vows' expectations were right.

A central staircase is an important post that usually requires manual placement. But vows and Terry Cummings eliminated five hostiles, which led to a shortage of men, and the enemy had to evacuate elsewhere to focus on Al Samad's speech and American invasion routes. It was the most peaceful place where nothing had happened so far.

I don't see any surveillance.

Ordinarily, the vows across the hallway on the first floor moved slowly enough to yawn while picking out only the blind spots of the surveillance cameras. Although slow, his movements with shadow movements were so subtle that they were hard to spot if his eyes were wide open and distracted.

The vows that stood in front of the passageway leading to the basement opened the door slowly.

As soon as the door opened, the ceiling lit up.

A vow to the enemy, "I'm here! I made an impression looking at the ceiling light as if to say ’.

I sensed a movement and my heart fluttered whenever the fire started. He breaks down the motion sensor in turn and slowly moves down.

Standing in front of an iron door connected to the third floor of the basement, he has pledged many times that he must now be very careful. He considers there is no other solution than to approach the bunker directly. However, it was the quickest way to get to the bunker this way.

At that moment, the PDA in the backpack that had been silent so far trembled violently.

The data you asked John to transfer suddenly arrived. However, instead of taking out the PDA and checking the message, Seowon decided to move as quickly as possible to the bunker. We were going to rescue Bremer before he took on the bio-solver and the battle gear.

But he had to stop without even ten steps. It was because the Semtex installed in the center of the column caught my attention.

The vows carefully looked around and slowly walked towards the pillars.

The column's Semtex was not installed for booby-trap purposes, as it was found on the roof.

Installed on the main pillar that supports the building, the Semtex appears to have been installed to blow up the Public Palace.

A vow that is sure that it is not a booby trap sweeps through the surrounding walls and columns in a swift pace.

The Semtex was installed on every major pillar and reinforcement wall.

Damn it!

The enemy seems to be planning to detonate the Semtex by pressing the detonator switch as soon as we get out of here.

If many of these Semtexes detonate simultaneously, the Republic Palace will disappear without a trace. The whole building will turn to dust without even knowing if there was such a facility in the basement.

Sweat drops formed on Seowon's forehead.

Now he was given two choices.

One is to put the previous decision into practice. Approaching the enemy on the bunker at the fastest speed, crushing them and evacuating Bremer to a safe location.

The other one is to find the guy with the detonator and stop the Semtex from exploding.

The vow didn't make a decision easily without breaking her lips.

He listens to the radio, thinking it's not a matter for him to decide alone.

As the Arab in suits appeared on all news channels, the Iraqi command fell silent for a moment.

“…… every Iraqi is angry with Paul Bremer's wrong policy. We tried peacefully after Paul Bremer's absence to convey the will of the Iraqi people. But unfortunately, our voices have not been heard. ”

The speech of an Arab who named himself Al Samad was like a liquidation issue.

Everyone's eyes and ears were focused on Al Samad's lips.

“…… That's why we took this place. Of course, I know what the American people are worried about. In addition, I hope to resolve this peacefully.

I did not put any terms and conditions in front of the hostages, and I do not intend to threaten their lives in the future. All I want is for you to listen to our voices. ”

Someone yells.

“Bullshit!”

In the eyes of the soldiers, Al Samad's speech was a red lie. But when I thought about what the people would think, I was depressed.

The people will be fooled by his lies. Reporters and political parties, as well as the people, seemed more likely to do so. That's how convincing Al Samad's three tongues were.

“We want a peaceful solution. But before you do, there's something you need to know. That's the fact that we're armed. ”

As Al Samad gestured toward the camera, a picture appeared on the screen.

The ceiling vent was filled with holes in the thickness of fingers, and blood was spilled from the holes.

“This is a photograph of the people who were killed in secret when the U.S. military sent us here to get rid of us a moment ago. ”

Al Samad lowers his head slightly and looks sad.

“I hope this gets tied down quickly, without further harm. But if we provoke ourselves like this one more time, we can't guarantee the safety of the hostages. We will never see this kind of cowardly provocation.

Dear American citizens!

You have to understand that the people who brought tragedy to Iraq are your government and your military leaders. Iraq has never harmed the United States! Who really hurt who in the war on Iraq? Are there a lot of Iraqis injured? How many Americans were injured? ”

Al Samad sighs at the ceiling and looks at the camera.

There were tears in his eyes.

“After World War II, the United States and Israel slaughtered our Arab brothers brutally. Do you know what that number is? 500,000. 500,000! ”

Al Samad stopped speaking to emphasize the 500,000 figure and followed shortly thereafter.

“I'd like to ask you to be in our shoes for a moment, even now, when you hear my voice. Are you the bad guy who killed 30 people with a car and a bomb? Are you the bad guy who ordered the bombers to kill thousands of people at once?

It's hard for me and you to agree on that. But what we need to know is that the wrong decision has brought tragedy to Iraq.

Despite this tragedy, I have not come before you to condemn your government. The past is here to share a new peace shake.

But a proud American commander, who believes he can rule with all his might, infiltrated the Special Forces.

We're all very angry. In fact, my colleagues also insisted on executing the hostages in front of a camera in order to show the U.S. military how to do their job. But blood begets blood.

I decided to show you good faith first. As long as there is no U.S. military provocation, the hostages will not be bothered. It is not right for innocent citizens to lose their lives because of the wrong decisions made by your government and the small number of people who run the military. ”

Suddenly, the faces of those who insisted on playing terrorists darkened sharply.

With the catastrophe of an urgent infiltration plan in which nothing was prepared, they close their eyes and bow their heads. I hear a sigh that is similar to a sigh.

“Dearly beloved people of the United States, I urge you, my fellow Americans, the greatest nation on the planet.

Please take my hand for peace between Iraq and the United States!

I sincerely wish you God's blessings and blessings in your home. Thank you. "

John Ackins folds his arms and focuses on Al Samad's face.

There was no blindness in his argument that made sense at first glance. The Iraqi policy he argued was an impractical force, and the peaceful solution he argued was only a feasible flame when all the weapons disappeared in Iraq.

However, his expression, speech and words were enough to captivate the minds of the common people.

It is because ordinary people are more easily attracted to non-verbal expressions such as expression, eyes, speech, and gestures than words.

Over the next few days, the media will be divided tightly between those who support Al Samad's speech and those who deny it. And by the end of that discussion, the trickster will be gone into the dark with a huge trophy of gold.

The President of the United States watched Al Samad speak openly.

At the end of the speech, the first thing I thought was, "This is bad! ’.

The secretary who watched television with the president thought Al Samad looked much better than he did during the election. His speech was unbroken, serious, and he had a good voice. The presidential debate was so contrasted with the president's appearance that he failed to answer his opponent's question.

Most American women watching this television talk immediately answered the phone, intuitive to Al Samad.

“Turn the polling team around now! Find out your presidential support rate right now, and find out your fondness for the damn Arab! ”

In the judgment of the life of the hostage, the number of presidential endorsements came to mind first.

When I hung up, I heard the president's voice.

“This is bad. I'm going to bite the crap out of a failed infiltration in the press. ”

The secretary shakes his head.

“Don't worry about it. because tomorrow the press is going to be all over the news. ”

“It's not like that. This case is going to be crawling with Democrats. They'll be asking questions to find out if my approval was compromised. ”

At this moment, the White House owner's greatest concern was avoiding responsibility for a failed operation.

While everyone was distracted by Al Samad's television speech, the Iraqi Command was in a state of great confusion when a pledge radio came in that the Semtex had been set up all over the underground in the Republic Palace.

John Ackins, who has remained silent so far, thought it was time for him to take action.
