Chapter 466 Someone is taking the blame (2 chapters in 1)

General Bakov looked at Farah jokingly.

It was as if he had already known that Karin's identity was Farah.

Whether it was the water torture or the coercion just now, it was like a cat playing with mouse.

Farah understood at this time and looked at Bakov with hatred in her eyes.

Luke saw everything that happened here.

He was now on the plane, giving orders to the squad.

"The goal is set, and action begins."

Lilith suddenly interrupted the communication.

"Boss, we found a group of people on the other side of the camp, and they are also preparing to sneak into the camp."

The scene shifted to the sky above those people.

Luke smiled.

Now someone has to take the blame.

"No matter who they are, save them first and act quickly."

As expected, both sides unanimously decided to destroy the Russian army's heavy weapons and equipment first.

Let’s blow it up first.

After causing chaos in the camp, the attack team broke directly into the prison.

Another group of people also caused quite a stir.

The noise from Luke's team was actually a little quieter.

Their equipment is more advanced.

High and low altitude drone reconnaissance, Erica and the team control the robot to detect the situation on the route ahead in real time.

This situation has played out countless times in California.

The team, with good cooperation, attacked the prison silently.

Bakov took advantage of the chaos to go to the headquarters.

Farah was almost strangled to death by Bakov just now.

After Bakov left, Farah used a hidden spoon to pry open the ventilation duct and ran out.

Instead of running outside, she went to the guard room, ready to seize weapons and help other comrades here escape.

When she was about to launch a surprise attack on the Russian guards, Luke's team arrived.

After dealing with the guards neatly and efficiently, he came in front of Farah.

Farah looked at these alien-like warriors in confusion.

"Fara Karim?"

Farah nodded.

"Come with us, we will get you away from here to safety."

"Who are you?"

"You will know when you get here, this is not the place to talk."

"I want to take my comrades with me."

"Yes, please follow us."

Without Farah's words, the second team led by Chapman had already started opening the cells.

Farah and other imprisoned fighters picked up Russian weapons and evacuated with Hobbs's group.

Suddenly, Lilith warned over the comms.

"The third party is approaching you. You are about to be encountered. They are on the roof."

"receive."

bang~

With a loud bang, the roof was blown open, and several fully armed special forces soldiers descended.

Just looking at the audience below...

Farah's Ulster fighters stood with Hobbs and others and looked at this group of people.

"Hobbes, turn on the communicator."

Although both sides were holding guns, they were not pointing them at each other.

The leader of the other side looked around.

"You are?"

"Hey, Lieutenant Price, I didn't expect to see you here. I'm Luke, Cyprus."

Apparently, the rest of the team also recognized him as Lieutenant Price of the SAS.

It’s just that their equipment this time was different from last time, so Price didn’t recognize them at first.

"Price, follow my men and evacuate."

Price did not refuse and gestured to his men.

"I'm looking for a prisoner named XXXXXX."

Someone in the crowd raised his hand and said to Price:

"Thank God you're finally here."

Price nodded to Hobbs, and the two sides began to cooperate.

However, during the evacuation process, Price and his team played a minor role.

Looking at the high-tech equipment of Luke's team, I drooled.

The team stopped in a valley near the Russian military base.

After a while, Nelson, Cook, Bob and Beckett, who were covering behind, also rushed over.

Then everyone was surprised to find a huge plane suddenly appeared in the open space in the valley.

Luke stood at the open cabin door and waved to everyone.

Price did not board the plane; they had their own evacuation route.

The person they wanted to rescue was a journalist who was being held as a spy by the Russian army.

After exchanging a few simple pleasantries with Price, Luke got down to business.

"I personally organized this operation, so I'm afraid this matter will be blamed on you later."

Price didn't mind. Since he was already here, he was naturally not afraid of the verbal battles among the politicians. There was no evidence anyway, so they just refused to admit it.

Both parties have achieved their goals, so there is no need to say too much.

Price and others left with the rescued reporter.

Back in the cabin, Farah looked at Luke who was walking towards her.

"who are you?"

Luke straightened his suit and held out his hand.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Luke Qin, the heir of Hex Group."

Farah was smart enough to ask Luke directly.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in rescuing us?"

Luke smiled.

"Don't worry, Ms. Karim, I'm not a politician, I'm a businessman, and I'm here to invest."

Farah looked at Luke with a questioning look.

This was the first person she had met who introduced himself in this way.

Many forces have approached her in the past.

But she knew that those people were just using her and her organization as a tool to contain the Russian army.

Some intelligence agencies even explicitly wanted Farah to be their agent.

Farah is a true patriot and she longs for peace in this country.

Luke knew this too, so he didn't start by giving any big lectures.

"Uzbekistan has a special location. As a special region connecting Europe and Asia, I think it has great investment potential."

"Are you kidding? There's a war going on here, and it's been going on for over ten years."

Luke wagged his finger.

"No, no, no, on the contrary, I think I am the one who comes to bring you peace."

Farah didn't quite believe what Luke said.

"Come on, Miss Karim, let's go sit over there and talk."

Arriving at the front of the cabin, Luke and Farah sat face to face.

Lilith brought some water and food to the two of them.

"I know your customs. You can eat these foods without worry."

Farah was indeed hungry and her time in prison was not easy.

This is the "snack" that Luke's team takes when they go out. It is high in calories, so Lilith didn't take much.

Seeing that her brother and his men had also received food in the cabin, Farah opened the package and started eating.

Luke waited for Farah to finish eating and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you."

"Let's get down to business."

"I know what you need, and I know what the Russian army is going to do."

"I am not asking you to continue fighting the Russian army. Of course, there will be moderate friction."

"I'm not trying to control this country. I'm here to do business. It's a good business if everyone can make money."

Farah drank the entire bottle of water and smiled at Luke.

“Your statement is very special.”

Luke laughed too.

"I can imagine how those intelligence agencies talked to you, but arrogance and prejudice are always evident on their expressions."

Farah nodded.

"I am a businessman. I may make money from war, but it is only a one-time deal. What I want is long-term and stable benefits."

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"It's simple, bring peace to this country."

Farah was silent for a while, then said to Luke:

"That's exactly what I'm doing, even if it costs me my life."

Luke nodded.

"I know that you are a pure patriot, so I chose to cooperate with you instead of other forces in Uzstan."

Farah scoffed.

"Those people have become running dogs of Western forces, and they only care about their own interests."

Luke smiled and said to her:

"So, you were arrested because you were betrayed by your compatriots."

Farah showed a heartbroken expression.

Luke went on.

"I will show my sincerity. UN Women and Children's Fund will work with several charity foundations to carry out humanitarian relief in the near future."

Farah nodded.

Luke continued:

"I won't give you weapons, well... at least not publicly."

"My purpose is not to make you fight the Russian army to the death. The way of war is different now. It is meaningless to use human lives to fill the gap."

Farah nodded. She agreed with what Luke said, but there was nothing she could do because they were too poor.

Seeing that Farah was listening, Luke continued:

"We must first stand on the moral high ground. What happened here was not unreported, but was suppressed."

Farah was silent for a moment and sighed.

Luke smiled and asked her:

"Have you figured it out?"

Farah nodded.

“Because by doing that, they don’t gain the benefit.”

"Yes."

It seems that Farah is a smart person.

Next, Luke told Farah part of his plan, and Farah was shocked.

And this kind of operation?

Luke smiled.

Although Farah is smart, he is limited here. He is always fighting with the Russian army and obviously doesn't know much about this aspect.

"Don't worry. Russia doesn't approve of the invasion of Uzbekistan either, but the situation in Russia is more complicated. You just need to know that this is a private action by Bakov and others, and it does not represent the Russian government."

Farah's face looked a little gloomy.

"Why does the Russian Government..."

She couldn't continue speaking halfway through, as she understood what Luke meant.

Some people in the Russian government are unwilling to go to war, but they cannot control or mobilize the military personnel.

Farah looked up at Luke.

"So, who are you representing?"

Luke shook his head.

"You still don't believe me now. I represent my family and the consortium behind our family."

"So if you invest like this, aren't we afraid of offending the Russians?"

Luke smiled.

"You don't understand, Ms. Karim, Russia has been cooperating with us for a long time."

“Aren’t you American?”

"I can be American, I can be British, I can be anything else."

"Ms. Karim, no matter what country I am from, my purpose in coming here to help you build your country remains the same."

"So what do you ultimately want?"

"Trade, free trade, free trade that benefits both of us."

Farah was a little confused.

It's not her fault. All her skills are focused on war, and she knows nothing about economics.

"Uzbekistan has no oil, and other resources are not rich..."

Luke smiled and wagged his finger.

"No, no, no, Ms. Karim. In the eyes of businessmen, everything can become a commodity, even a pile of soil or a basin of water."

Farah was silent for a while.

After a while, he said to Luke:

"If you don't tell me your real purpose, I won't agree. What resources in Uzbekistan do you have your eyes on?"

Luke sighed.

"What's really important about Uzbekistan is its location. The location here is very special, connecting the Eurasian road."

"But there are many other countries in the region that are equally important."

“The investment there is much greater than here.”

Farah was a little puzzled. In her opinion, a country like Uzbekistan, which had been devastated by war, would require large investments.

Luke explained it to him.

"Those countries have long been supported by other forces or major powers. A businessman like me cannot get a say."

"In short, this is a very complicated matter and cannot be explained in just a few words."

Farah could understand this a little bit.

The forces from neighboring countries have also approached her.

But the purpose... haha, it's all to control her country.

"How can I be sure that you won't control my country from behind like other forces?"

Farah asked Luke the question anyway.

Luke smiled.

"It's simple. I'm a businessman, not a politician."

Farah thought for a while and finally answered Luke.

"We can cooperate first, but I want to see your sincerity. As for what happens in the end, it depends on your attitude."

"Ms. Karim, cooperation is a matter for both parties. It's normal that you don't trust me when we first meet, but..."

"What I want to say is that if we cooperate, both sides must trust each other, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

Farah heard the threat in the words.

Although she felt unhappy, her attitude was that she would not betray her country.

He looked at Luke with a determined look.

"Mr. Qin, I can't promise you anything for now, but if you can really bring peace to my country and my people, I am willing to do everything, including my life."

Luke's originally serious expression turned kind.

"Ms. Karim, your life is not important to me. What I want is to ensure a return on my investment."

"If it's true as you said, you will be rewarded."

After sending Farah and the others to the outskirts of a city ruin, Luke took his men away.

Before leaving, he left Farah with several computers and satellite phones.

"Ms. Karim, wait for my good news."

The invisible Pelican flew directly across half the world back to Los Angeles.

On the way, Luke was talking to Mr. Qin.

This is a big and troublesome matter.

Helping a war-torn country restore peace is something that many major countries cannot do.

This was also the biggest event that Luke personally presided over.

The next morning, something big happened in the world press.
