Chapter 757: Release the person.
The city of Shanghai is 3,900 kilometers from Penang Island in a straight line. The Peregrine Falcon had previously cruised at supersonic speed and flown over the South China Sea. The Lord's Chariot, which had not moved for a long time, dived out of the open sea and galloped towards the Strait of Malacca at a top speed of 150 knots.
There was still half an hour before the Peregrine Falcon landed on Penang Island, and Ye Qing sat in the exclusive seat, tweaking his eyebrows with his fingers. There was a question, and he still hadn't found the exact answer. Why did the Americans stop the freighter Horizon?
In fact, everyone knew what the Horizon was carrying, i.e. all it was carrying was mining and foundry equipment and metal processing machine tools. It is not impossible to say that such industrial equipment is involved in the nuclear industry. After all, there are high-purity uranium mines like uranium calcium mica around the Sotu rainforest. The plant will naturally melt and purify these calcium-uranium micas.
But when it comes to talking about building nuclear weapons, even the country of Gambia the most primitive country on earth dared not tell this joke. The construction of nuclear weapons is a symbol of the industrial strength of great power. The place around Nigeria's Sotu Forest, sold by the country, may be unable to collect enough weapons-grade uranium after its purification and industrial equipment on the Horizon has also failed. plus the technology to purify uranium and make it weapons-grade. It can purify it to about 30% purity, which can meet the nuclear-related needs of civilian fields, such as nuclear power plants.
The truth is the Americans have now united with the IAEA and held the Horizon.
There is no love without reason in this world, nor hatred without reason. The United States used passive pressure on public opinion to seize the Horizon. There is only one possibility, to force the Huge Industrial Monster into submission they will cut off the line of communication between him and Nigeria.
Ye Qing was not going to back down. As soon as he discovered the Sotu rainforest seam, he signed a formal development document with Nigerian officials and this will eliminate the possibility of the United States legally beating the Huge Industrial Monster. Ye Qing has never backed down before, nor will he in the future. But the top priority now is to settle the Master Metal Expert issue first.
......
Half an hour later, the Peregrine Falcon dived towards the airport runway on Penang Island. At that time, a small propeller-driven passenger plane was parked on the runway, and it was a special plane for senior Malaysian police officers.
When the Peregrine Falcon came to rest, Ye Qing got off the plane with the men and horses. At the end of the track, a ferry tram immediately rushed towards him. He had really rushed, and the approach was aggressive. The electric car only braked two meters from Ye Qing, and eventually, the front of the car was within twenty centimeters of him.
A man in a navy blue police uniform with a qualification card on his chest and four stars and two crossed swords on his shoulders got off the shuttle. He had two age spots on his face, and his hair was as gray as winter stubble.
"I'm the Deputy Sheriff of Malaysia, Wei Lide, are you the President of the Huge Industrial Monster?"
The old man looked at Ye Qing with mean eyes. At the same time, two white men in suits and leather shoes, and several high-ranking senior police officers, followed behind the old man. The Deputy Chief of the National Police is already one of the highest-ranking officers in the Malaysian police system.
"It's me," Ye Qing replied with a serious look, hands behind his waist.
"I give you ten minutes to immediately notify your subordinates and release the detained IAEA investigator."
Seeing the young man with his hands behind his waist, Wei Lide's eyes were even more wicked, and his tone was cold: "Otherwise, ten minutes later, we will organize a special task force to attack the Horizon freighter."
After finishing the warning in English, the senior police officer behind him immediately added the many consequences of not releasing the investigator.
"If our colleague can be released immediately, we promise the employee who committed the crime can be sent back to China to accept your country's legal sanctions," the two IAEA investigators who had just escaped from the 'Horizon, intensified their tone: "Since your Huge Industrial Monster is a large industrial technology company, we did not use force to save it at first. ~ For the sake of your own person, we have waited for your arrival to settle this matter, and we undertake to have him repatriated to China for legal sanctions. ~ So please cooperate with us in thoroughly investigating the industrial equipment being transported to the Horizon."
Ye Qing stood on the other side of them, all alone, quietly waiting for the angry officials to finish their demands like crows. With his hands still behind his back, after listening to them, he finally spoke up, "It's good to let him go. However, it's absurd to bring him back to China through official channels to be sanctioned by law. ~ You and I both know the ins and outs of this case. Especially you Malaysian police; don't stay here and talk to me in a threatening tone. Let him go, you can try to touch my staff."
National Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide's calm tone was replaced by anger. It was a threat, a total threat. A chairman of a very remote industrial company in China rushed to Penang Island to threaten a deputy national police chief.
"This is Malaysia, the sea area where the Horizon is located, this is our inland sea. You are challenging our justice. Release people immediately and unconditionally, otherwise, all consequences will be yours," Wei Lide knew, of course, the ins and outs of it all, their Malaysian police were purely used as gunmen by the Americans. But who cares, who is opposed to what the United States, the most powerful country in the world, is doing?
It seems that this place also became the port of the Horizon freighter an hour ago, and the air became instantly tense. The senior police officers who originally issued the warning changed their faces with kind smiles one by one, trying to persuade Ye Qing not to worry too much about the employee's safety. As for what to do with China, they didn't ask.
This seems like the most innocuous solution, and everyone knows that if this employee is sent back to China, Huge Industrial Monster will definitely find a way to save him from prison. The incident happened in the Strait of Malacca. Whether he was held at gunpoint or illegally detained depends on what the Malaysian police say.
But there must be a cut scene; which involves the question of the Malaysian police. At the same time, it was also because the police violated the Strait of Malacca passage system first, and they wanted to fall on the right side of the wall to please the United States and not offend China, they were, therefore, ready to repatriate the employee. The forced attack, of course, is only a threat. The other party is an internationally famous company the Huge Industrial Monster, and it was not a pirate, so the negotiation will go step by step.
It's just these senior police officers never thought the president of Huge Industrial Monster wouldn't even give them that face. So Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide corrected his attitude, if the young president did not compromise, he would not hesitate to give the order to prepare for the attack.
"Ha ha~" Ye Qing smiled lightly: "Mr. Deputy Sheriff, let's take a step to talk."
Wei Lide's angry expression relaxed a little, nodded, and said yes. Then he followed Ye Qing and walked in the shadow of the Peregrine Falcon, which was tens of meters away.
"Mr. Ye, I can understand you are worried about the safety of your subordinate employees. It's ungood for both of us if things get worse."
"I don't mind if things get bigger. Since the Americans have attacked us, we won't compromise," Ye Qing pointed to the two IAEA investigators with unnatural expressions not far from it: "You and I both understand, the mastermind behind them is called the United States; therefore you Malaysian police should not interfere in this case."
"What if we were to intervene?" Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide was stunned. The young president was so vocal he wanted to fight against the United States.
"So our Huge Industrial Monster doesn't care, one more enemy."
Ye Qing, who suppressed his anger, said verbatim: "Some things are not for immediate interests, and we have to weigh the pros and cons to compromise. If you challenge my people, then in the future, there will probably be a freighter. Due to an irreversible mechanical failure, it will rush to the beautiful coast of Penang Island. As for what is loaded on the freighter, it is also unknown.
"I forgot to tell you, on the way to Penang Island; I already contacted the shipping company where the Horizon cargo ship is. Maybe our offer is higher, or maybe they don't want to cause trouble, this Horizon ship has been used by our Huge Industrial Monster before. Accept my offer."
"You…" Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide was really angry at this moment.
"This is my attitude and my bottom line. There is no room for the detour," Ye Qing took a deep breath: "I will tell you about my relationship with the United States."
"I had a talk with the President of the United States, and his assistants also came to my company in person and asked me to cooperate with them many times. Otherwise, our Huge Industrial Monster will be unthreatened by the United States. ~ I've told Mr. President twice that Huge Industrial Monster won't compromise and never will. Now is the time for them to follow through on their threat. ~ That's also time for the Huge Industrial Monster to strike back."
Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know much about the Huge Industrial Monster, but he wasn't completely ignorant either. He thought my official position was very important, but he didn't expect the young president to dare to say no to the President of the United States.
"Believe it or not, I made it impossible for you to leave Penang Island." Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide was horrified, but still stubborn.
"Once a Raptor fighter was defiant towards my aircraft, I didn't compromise. I think your threat is not as compelling as the Raptor fighter."
"..."
Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide suddenly felt a lot of cold sweats on his back, and his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief. And in the piercing eyes of this young president, he saw a strong self-confidence that he dared to confront the whole of the United States.
Fighting a raptor...
After tens of seconds, Deputy Sheriff Wei Lide had to give a thumb up, while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "I give up, this is a matter between you and the United States. ~ I... I resigned!"
Ye Qing nodded and, in front of Wei Lide, made a satellite phone call and asked Master Metal Expert to release the IAEA investigator.
