Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

As night fell, Lawson's face became more and more ugly as eight o'clock approached.

At the same time, thousands of American soldiers hiding in the hotel were also extremely anxious at the moment. It was quiet outside, without any sound. But the more this happened, the more anxious they became.

They had already looked out through the window and did not find an enemy. And this situation made them even more unsure. The most terrifying thing in the world is the unknown.

"General, there are five minutes left..."

At 7:55 in the evening, an officer next to him reminded Lawson.

Hearing this, Lawson took a deep breath.

"Notify them to lay down their weapons and surrender..."

Lawson made a decision, and after saying this, he sat down on the chair weakly.

"General, you will be in court-martial like this."

The officer next to him couldn't help but say, but Lawson waved his hand.

"Go, I would rather face the judge in the military court. I don't want to face the eyes of thousands of people who have lost their children, husbands, and fathers..."

Lawson said weakly. Since the Pentagon asked him to take the blame, he would take it. But if you want me to be the executioner, I would rather go to jail than do it. Whoever wants to bear this bad reputation can bear it.

In the hotel, the highest commander of this operation received the order to surrender.

After repeated confirmation, the news was told to everyone. Hearing the order to surrender, all the American soldiers in the hotel were relieved.

For the US military, surrender is a normal thing. If you can't fight, surrender, and you can continue to fight if you are alive.

Besides, the highest commander has given the order, what else should I worry about.

Although surrendering is a bit embarrassing, it is better than losing your life.

"Don't shoot, we surrender..."

In the middle of the night, a voice came from the hotel, and then an American soldier came out with his hands raised, and he had no weapons on him.

As soon as he walked to the door, a searchlight hidden in the dark suddenly lit up, directly illuminating the hotel entrance as if it were daytime.

"Tell your people to put down their weapons, take off all their clothes and come out, otherwise we will not guarantee your safety..."

A voice came from a loud speaker. Hearing this voice, the soldier looked helpless. But in the end, he did it and took off his clothes one by one, leaving only a pair of underwear.

"Take off your underwear too. I emphasize again, all clothes..."

A voice came from the loud speaker again. The soldier had no choice but to take off his underwear and walked out naked.

The other soldiers in the room could only follow this standard at this moment. One by one, they took off their clothes and walked out. The whole street was illuminated by searchlights at this moment.

One by one, American soldiers came out and lined up neatly on the street. In the dark, many cameras in multiple directions clearly recorded everything.

When all these people came out, a group of Aidid's soldiers came from a distance. They had weapons in their hands, and some soldiers took out a lot of handcuffs from the car, and then handcuffed these soldiers and connected them into a string. A soldier handcuffed one hand.

One hundred people were strung together, and more than a thousand people were strung together in more than a dozen strings. Including the special forces and the soldiers who came to rescue, there were more than 1,300 people in total.

Although the battle during the day was fierce today, only more than a hundred people actually died. The remaining more than 1,100 people were all prisoners at the moment.

All the prisoners were taken away naked, and everyone had a hood on their face. They were taken away separately, and finally entered different places, entered the underground from different places, and were imprisoned in different places.

Sam is a soldier of the Navy SEAL special forces. At this moment, he was full of frustration. As the most elite soldier in the world, he was captured alive by a group of militants they looked down on today. It was so damn embarrassing.

"We're here..."

A low voice sounded, and the hood on Sam's head was taken off.

After the hood was taken off, Sam and his friends finally saw everything in front of them. This is a huge underground space, like a prison. But the strange thing is that the walls are all khaki.

"Two sets of clothes for each person, ten people in one room. There is a cafeteria and a shopping mall here. You can have whatever you want, even women. Just sign the bill. The money you spend will be paid by your government or your family. As for when to leave, it depends on your fate. Also, I advise you to be honest and don't have any crooked thoughts. This is not your America. Your life is worthless. Here, if one person makes a mistake, the whole room will be punished..."

A black man said directly to everyone, and then asked someone to open Sam's handcuffs.They were given two sets of clothes each, but they were asked to sign the bill after the clothes were given. Sam and his friends were scattered in ten rooms.

There were ten people in each room, and the rooms were simple, one large room, ten beds, and one TV.

The most amazing thing was that the people here did not restrict their freedom. They moved freely here.

This was a small underground base with a gym, a supermarket, a cafe, a restaurant, and even a medical room.

Sam was very curious about this situation, but when they came to the supermarket, they were dumbfounded by the prices inside.

Damn, a toothbrush cost 50 US dollars, a teacup cost 100 US dollars, a bar of soap cost 50 US dollars, a pack of ordinary cigarettes cost 100 US dollars, a can of beer cost 20 US dollars, a razor cost 500 US dollars, and even a bottle of the most ordinary mineral water cost 30 US dollars.

Not only that, even the daily use of water, going to the toilet, and taking a bath were charged. Going to the toilet, damn, it costs 10 US dollars.

This is too shabby. Look at the food in the cafeteria. A hamburger costs $100. This is simply robbery. A cup of coffee costs $150.

And the gym also charges according to the number of times, $50 per time.

But the most expensive is women. Women are charged directly by time, $2,000 per hour.

Everyone calculated silently in their hearts. Let’s not talk about other things. Just three meals a day here to ensure that you don’t starve to death, at least $500 a day, if you want to eat something good, $1,000 is not enough.

At this moment, Sam finally understood why these people didn’t restrict their freedom. What’s the point of restricting it? This group of people is their God of Wealth.

1,000 people, each person spends $1,000 a day, then this money alone is $1 million a day. In this era, in Somalia, $1 million is a huge sum of money.

Thinking of this, Sam couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Damn, it seems that he can't leave here in a short time. If these people leave here one day later, Aidid can make more money from them.
