Chapter 110: Preparation (1/2)

“Hello, I’m the reporter from NHK television, what’s the situation of the hostage now?”

“I’m the TBS reporter, I want to ask the Metropolitan police how they’ll deal with this hostage incident?”

“Please reply? The audiences in the nation are in urgent need to find out the details of the incident from the police.”

“This incident, do you acknowledge that the police were negligent?”

“These terrorists request of releasing one criminal, is that person their partner?”

Looking at the troop reporters who were gathered outside the hospital entrance, the police chief bitterly smiled saying: “You see, I believe that tomorrow, the world will know what happened here, if not handled properly, not only will the police have no face left, but it would also become a stain towards our country. Fellow colleagues, please be diligent.”

“Please rest assured Chief, we will successfully rescue the hostages. As soon as the plan begins, we will immediately break through the door and rescue the hostages.” Ryosawa said firmly.

The police chief nodded, turning his head to ask another police officer: “How’s the preparation going?”

“The main deployment has already been completed, the snipers are also already in place. We’ll coordinate with officer Ryosawa as much as possible.” The police officer replied.

“Are those things also prepared?”

“Yes, I’ve secretly notified the headquarters to have it arranged, after half an hour, they’ll be transported by helicopter.”

“If possible, I don’t really want use this method.” The police chief sighed.

Turning his head towards the other police officers he said: “Continue making negotiation with the terrorists, moreover, we must find out the situation inside as much as possible. This matter doesn’t allow for any negligence.”

“Yes.”

At this moment, as time draws near suddenly several people came out of the command center.

“I would like to ask, what’s actually happening here?” In the middle, an old man wearing a white coat came out and loudly asked.

“Good evening! Congressman Tatsuyama, Congressman Hisanaga, Congressman Nagai and Sir Momozaki.” The police chief said respectfully to these political veterans.

“I was just eating at home, when suddenly Nagai called me, saying that terrorists had taken hundreds of hostages in the hospital. Is this true?” The old man first continued to ask.

“Yes, there are 25 people in the hospital claiming that their the ‘July Movement’ Jihad members, they’ve held about 500 people as hostages. Moreover, mayor Shintaro Ishihara, Congressman Fumi Fukunaga and Congressman Yamazaki Chou are also in their hands. They request that in 12 hours the affiliated criminal Marando be released. And also request the government to hand over 100 million US dollar as ransom.” The police chief answered.

“Well said, but we absolutely can’t release Marando. Because we’ve promised the United States to transport him to New York this week.” Another congressman said.

“How did you let this happen Police chief, allowing more than twenty terrorists armed with weapons and infiltrate Tokyo, and also allowed them to take these many hostages. How are you going to explain these to the reporters?” Congressman Tatsuyama’s face was filled with anger as he asked.

“Sorry, this indeed was my dereliction of duty. Our police will recuse the hostages as soon as possible.” The police chief bent down to the waist and said.

“Hopefully, your guarantee is real.” Congressman Tatsuyama said desolately.

“It seems like these guys are very civilized.” Looking at the man who was holding a gun patrolling back and forth, the youth suddenly said something.

“What are you thinking? Having the mood to praise those who kidnaped us at this time.” Kurata Ryoko glared at him.

“At least they haven’t raped or abused the woman taken as hostages. If they were from the soldier of Nazi Germany in World War II they would have treated the Japanese hostages very differently, you’re really much luckier.” The youth sneered.

Looking at the girls dazed look, the youth knew that they really didn’t know about the history during that period.

“Do you have a coin?” The youth disliked this topic so he didn’t bother to talk to them about it, then he suddenly asked another question.
