A few minutes later, Chris's helicopter arrived at Hillsprings Airport.
At the end of the airport runway, the Concorde plane was parked just now.
The pilot said at this moment: "Young Lord, Mr. Marloy Smith, the feedback from the airport said that the Concorde is ready to take off. Let's land directly next to the Concorde, and then board and take off immediately!"
"Okay!" Chris nodded. He became more aware of the reasons for the success of the big family, and a huge part of it was the guarantee behind the success.
Ordinary people want to go to Syria, according to the conventional route, from the moment of boarding, it takes at least 24 hours.
However, with such a complete support system, the time to arrive in Syria can be almost reduced to 6 hours.
The difference of 18 hours does not seem to be a big deal in normal times. It is nothing more than the difference between a plane ticket and a green leather train ticket. But in the face of extremely important events, these 18 hours can be a great headstart. There are too many things and too many results that can be changed.
As the helicopter descended, Chris suddenly received a call from Norman. As soon as the call was made, Norman said in a panic, "Chris…know that something serious happened to Zoe… "
Chris hurriedly asked, "Uncle, don't worry, and speak slowly, what happened to Zoe?"
Norman blurted out: "I just received a message from a local friend that the government army's military operation failed today. The troops they sent were encircled by the opposition. Over a thousand people were killed or injured, and nearly a hundred people are captured. 8 young Americans including Zoe…"
"What?!" Chris suddenly exclaimed, "Is the message confirmed?"
Norman said nervously: "It has been determined…Now the government forces are preparing to launch military retaliation, but the opposition has already told the government forces and the U.S. Embassy to pay 80 million US dollars as ransom, otherwise, the 8 of them including Zoe will be executed!"
Chris asked hurriedly, "Did the American Embassy declare its position?"
"I have expressed my opinion." Norman sighed and said: "Their spokesperson strongly condemned the actions of the opposition, and they said that they would not accept the threat of the opposition, and demanded that the opposition must release the hostages, otherwise they will launch Military offensive against them…"
Chris's tone couldn't help being solemn, and said: "If this is the case, it is likely to anger the other party."
"Yes…" Norman gritted his teeth and cursed, "My friend knows the people in the US Embassy. They actually don't care about the lives of these 8 young people!"
"And they are not willing to pay the ransom at all, because they have made a lot of enemies in the Middle East over the years. Once this compromise is made, I don't know how many people will follow suit, so they want to prevent this from happening again… .."
Speaking of this, Norman choked and said: "The opposition is also very angry at the attitude of the Embassy. They said that they will give them 6 hours. After 6 hours, 1 will be executed every 30 minutes. Zoe! I… I am afraid this time it will be too bad.…"
Chris hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Eugene, don't worry about it…"
Norman cried bitterly and said, "Hey, how can I not worry…I am about to have a heart attack now!"
"And I really regret it! I regret making Zoe naturalized at the time… She was born in the United States at the time, so she was naturally naturalized at that time. If she was a Springsen national, she would definitely return this time. There would be a turnaround…"
"It's a pity that she and her classmates and friends are all American…"
Chris hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, let alone not be so pessimistic. I will set off for Syria right away. I will definitely find a way to rescue your daughter. You can wait for good news from my side!"
