Chapter 1141: Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West, Don't Bully
Chapter 1141 Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully...
In the reception room, two groups of people who had no contact with each other made almost identical judgments.
In fact, let alone them, even Sabah himself, who ordered the airport to be blocked and investigated, never thought that the problem could be solved in a short time...
"Minister Sabah."
Adjutant Hassan Dawasari pushed open the door and walked into the flight control department, which was temporarily converted into a control room:
"I have informed the Royal Executive Committee of the situation. His Excellency the Crown Prince requires us to give the provocateurs a strong response in the shortest possible time. However, unless conclusive evidence can be found, we must still pay attention to the international impact..."
At this time in 2003, the UAE's international status was just a bit shaky.
Backed by the two major organizations, the GCC and OPEC, it certainly still has influence.
But if these two identities are thrown away, then as a separate country, it really has no sense of existence.
To this end, two generations of kings and crown princes have been committed to building Abu Dhabi into a "Little London in the Middle East."
It is the financial center of the Middle East and Near East.
If this plan succeeds, the UAE will gain its own status externally.
Internally, it also has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with Saudi Arabia.
But the results of this plan have only just begun to show, and Abu Dhabi's position is not yet stable.
Competitors such as Doha and Riad are half a step behind but are still eying the competition.
At this juncture, it is certainly not appropriate to casually offend a regional tyrant like David.
Not to mention the other two Wuchang dads.
But if you really give in and give in, it will also have the opposite effect.
As a dignified member of the Al Nahyan royal family, if you don’t even react when others take advantage of you, how can you make people feel comfortable putting their money and business on your territory?
"knew."
Sabah nodded slightly, but there was an undetectable mask of pain between his brows and eyes.
This job can't be offended by any of the three bosses. It's really not easy to do.
But as a close confidant of the crown prince, he couldn't just push it away.
After reporting the situation, Davasari did not leave immediately. Instead, he took two steps forward and came to Sabah's side:
"Minister, according to the current efficiency, it will take about ten days at least to investigate all the people who may have come into contact with the drone. We can't really keep those people locked up in the airport, right?"
In fact, this is something that Davasari never thought about from the beginning.
Logically speaking, if you have locked up foreigners, there can be no low-key screening.
Just make a big fanfare and convince people to come over and make a quick decision and that's it.
If you really want to keep a low profile, then everything should be business as usual, and only a few capable personnel should be sent to conduct secret investigations.
"Don't worry, it won't really be blocked for that long..."
Although Sabah found it difficult, he was able to cope with it for the time being:
"Albatin Palace Airport is the core node of high-level personnel's foreign travel. If it is really to be blocked for a week or ten days, there will be no need for foreign protests. The domestic pressure will simply not be able to withstand..."
"It will last until tomorrow night at most, so..."
Originally, he wanted to say that it was a gesture to the outside world, otherwise others would think that our Abu Dhabi royal family was a fabrication, and then turn the investigation underground.
But just as he started talking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Major General Said Anbar, dressed in military uniform, rushed in with great strides:
"Mr. Sabah, we have caught him!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire room was somewhat tense.
Sabah: "..."
Davasari: "..."
The former has never thought about catching people from the beginning, which makes him feel a bit at a loss.
The latter only heard half of what he said just now, and thought that what his minister wanted to say was that he could catch people until tomorrow night at most. At this moment, he looked at Sabah with burning eyes.
Although he didn't speak, his eyes showed something like "Awesome, Minister".
Anbar, who was full of joy just now, looked at the two people in front of him, and the smile gradually solidified on his face.
"Don't tell me I arrested the wrong person?"
There was also some drumming in his heart.
"Ahem——"
After a long silence, Sabah, who had the highest status, spoke first:
"How did you catch it?"
The real owner was found out so easily that he had to suspect that this person might just be thrown out as a hidden stake.
Just let them think that the situation has calmed down, and then hastily end the investigation.
Anbar shrugged and explained:
"It's a coincidence that after you ordered the airport to be sealed off, Minister, soon a ground team reported to us that someone had left but had not returned. Almost at the same time, our people intercepted a person who wanted to leave at the E4 vehicle exit. Compare Later I found out that it was the ground staff who ran away..."
"..."
Obviously, this is a time difference.
As soon as the drone was controlled, the other party should have realized that something was wrong and found a reason to run away.
Naturally, he didn't know that all entrances and exits had been blocked.
But because the Albatin Palace Airport was too big, before he could actually leave the airport, Anbar's men were already in place, just in time to stop the unsuspecting man who was preparing to leave as usual...
"All right……"
Sabah sighed.
I don't know if it's relief or just helplessness.
"Don't withdraw people yet. Let's examine that guy first and see who contacted him. The sooner the better..."
Now that things have reached this point, there are no obstacles behind it.
The UAE is an absolute monarchy.
The constitution clearly stipulates that the status of the royal family and civilians are different.
I am suspected of premeditating a case against the Crown Prince. Can you provide me with evidence?
Laughing to death.
After the suspect is identified, do you want to know about the great memory recovery technique?
Those who can be bribed with money are unlikely to be die-hards.
They didn't even last half an hour, and they were told to do all the things that needed to be done.
An hour later, the interrogation record with signatures and fingerprints was placed in front of Sabah.
"A cafe worker secretly contacted this person and gave him a deposit and the equipment to install into the payload bay of the drone before taking off..."
"The other party and the prisoner promised that it was just a positioning and tracking device and would not threaten anyone's safety. After the incident is completed, they will receive another reward..."
"We have sent people to check that cafe, but we probably won't find anything..."
"..."
Anbar leaned on the chair in a rather relaxed posture, pouring water into his mouth while reporting the report.
Opposite him, Sabah's expression also relaxed significantly:
"So, this should be the work of David, simply to gain an advantage in the competition with Dassault, and has nothing to do with His Excellency the Crown Prince?"
Although in the battle in the intelligence field, the GCC was basically suppressed unilaterally.
But as the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor.
The more times you suffer losses, the more you will naturally gain experience.
Even if you still can't resist, you can at least recognize who did the job afterwards.
Just like this time, the other party acted in a strong Mossad style.
"That's probably it...we've made things complicated."
Anbar nodded, but in an instant he showed a little regret:
"It's a pity... At present, we have no other evidence other than confessions. If we want to arrest people from the Kingdom of Wei, I'm afraid it's almost impossible."
For foreigners, you must not use great memory recovery techniques casually.
Then we have no choice but to catch thieves and see the stolen goods, and catch traitors and see the couple.
However, the members of the IAI delegation have not had direct contact with the arrested prisoner. Even if he has 10,000 reasons to suspect, there is no way to detain him.
We can only suffer from this hidden loss.
"You don't have to catch people..."
Apparently, Sabah’s opinion is somewhat different:
"This confession alone is enough to prove that David's unfriendly behavior violated our country's rights and interests during the bidding process... According to general custom, the problem can be solved through diplomatic means."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of official paper and wrote a few names on it with a pen:
"Let's go find His Excellency the Crown Prince together..."
"..."
…
That evening, Sabah reappeared at the door of the VIP reception room with a smile on his face.
As a comparison, behind him is Major General Said Anbar with a serious face.
This surprised both groups in the reception room.
They originally thought that the entire investigation would last at least a few days.
Even if it ends early, it should only be after pressure or protest.
But within just a few hours, things seemed to have turned around...
It wasn't until Sabah and Anbar entered the door that everyone noticed that they each held a folder of the same style in their hands.
Only the color is different.
The former walked straight towards the Dassault delegation without stopping and sat on one of the sofas.
"First of all, I would like to express my personal apologies for bringing you some unpleasant experiences due to our work issues."
Sabah first made a procedural apology, then opened the document in his hand and placed it on a coffee table surrounded by several people:
"Thanks to your early discovery of the anomaly of the unmanned target drone, the selection work has not been affected and can still proceed as usual. However, His Excellency the Crown Prince hopes to discuss more specific transaction conditions with you in detail..."
He didn't lower his voice when speaking, so the whole reception room could hear it.
Although Mavita was mentally prepared for the failure of the selection, when he heard the words "the selection work has not been affected", the fire of hope was inevitably rekindled in his heart.
He couldn't help but look towards Anbar who was walking towards him——
Since two people are holding folders of the same style, the contents should be similar.
"Mr. Mavita."
Anbar had arrived in front of Mavita, but did not sit down.
The latter couldn't help but stand up and looked at the folder in front of him expectantly.
until……
"Mr. Shaul Mavita."
Anbar said, taking out a piece of paper from it, showing it in front of Mavita, and said in a cold tone:
"We have obtained sufficient evidence to prove that you engaged in unfriendly behavior during the bidding process."
"So, I regret to inform you that you have been classified as an undesirable person in our country. Please leave our country within 48 hours, otherwise you will be forcibly deported..."
He also didn't lower his voice when he said this.
It was also heard clearly by the entire reception room.
The hope that Mavita had just ignited was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.
As for the Dassault delegation on the other side...
Although they did not laugh out loud for the sake of decency, they all lowered their heads and covered their mouths, unable to help laughing.
For a moment, the two sides of the reception room were like heaven and hell, presenting a strong and ironic contrast...
Sabah naturally could not let this situation continue for a long time, and quickly stood up and said:
"Please follow me to the VIP exit. The motorcade is ready and will take you directly to the National Palace..."
Before leaving the VIP reception room, Fan Jimin suddenly stopped, turned around and came to Mavita, who looked dead, and shook hands with him in a friendly manner, and whispered:
"Mr. Mavita, I hope you have learned enough from the ring project..."
After speaking, he patted the other party's shoulder gently, and then strode out of the door...
