Maung Moe Thu - The Peak

(1)

The people who wanted to kill Ahmet Hilmer were serious. They were refugees from Turkey. They had already assassinated a member of the Turkish embassy. They had also bombed the house of a Turkish air force officer.

They chose Ahmed as their next target because he was a supporter of the Turkish dictatorship and a wealthy man living in Paris.

Ahmed's house and office are indeed well guarded, and the car Ahmed drives is a bulletproof vehicle with bulletproof windows.

But the students who wanted to assassinate him believed that everyone has a weakness. The weakness was usually in the area of ​​sex. In the case of Ahmed Hilma, that calculation was correct. When they kept a close eye on Ahmed Hilma for three or four weeks, two or three times a week, Ahmed would take the station wagon that the maids used to use for shopping and go out alone. When he went out, he would go to a house in a small alley in the 15th ward. There was a beautiful Turkish girl in that house. It seemed that Ahmed and the girl were having an affair.

The young men who were going to assassinate him decided to bomb the water truck parked outside while Ahmed was having fun with a woman in the house in Ward 15.

The youth group knows who they can get the bomb from. From Pepe Zozzi. Pepe Zozzi is one of the sons of the Corsican mafia boss Mimizozzi.

Peppi is a smuggler. Peppi sells to anyone who buys smuggled weapons. However, he prefers to sell to people with political beliefs. Peppi once said with a smile, “People with beliefs pay more for weapons.”

Pepe has sold weapons to this group of youths before.

There was one problem with such a car bomb. Ahmed Hilma's usual behavior was that he would often return home alone from the women's house. But not always.

Sometimes Ahmed would take the woman out to dinner. Often the woman would go out alone and drive somewhere for half an hour in a taxi.

Every time he returned, he would bring bread, fruit, and wine. It seemed that the two of them would have a feast at home. Sometimes, Ahmed would take a taxi back from the house, leaving the Renault with the woman for a day or two.

The group of young students who were going to assassinate him were young and full of imagination. They were a terrorist group, so they had already made up their minds to assassinate Ahmed.

However, they are also worried that they will mistakenly kill a beautiful girl, a young woman who is sincerely in love with a Turkish man.

Therefore, their group openly discussed the issue with each other in a democratic manner. They would vote and make decisions. They did not accept any leadership.

However, despite the lack of a leader, one person stood out in the group because of his unique personality. His name was Ramikoskun.

Rami is a young man with a handsome personality, a thick mustache, and a bright, bright smile in his eyes.

Both previous bombings were successful despite the difficulties and problems, thanks to Rami's decisive actions. In the current car bombing problem, Rami Koscom suggested consulting a bomb expert.

The team members were initially reluctant to accept the idea. They questioned who, which bomb expert, they could trust. Rami suggested consulting "Eli Teller."

Eliot Taylor is an American. He describes himself as a poet. But in reality, he makes a living teaching English. Eliot served as a weapons expert during the Vietnam War.

Rami had known Elias for almost a year. They had worked together at the short-lived revolutionary newspaper "Kamakama." They had also worked together to organize a poetry reading to raise funds for the Palestine Liberation Front.

Ilyas understands the anger of Turkish diaspora members like Rami. He is also sympathetic to the brutality of the dictatorship that rules Turkey.

Some of the young students who were part of the Rami group knew little about Elis. They had seen Elis actively participate in many protests. In their minds, they understood that Elis must be a graduate or a professor with convictions.

Still, they were hesitant to trust a non-Turkish person like Ilis with their terrorist activities. However, after Rami's strong persuasion, they finally agreed.

When they discussed their situation, Ellis immediately came up with a solution. Ellis said the bomb to be detonated should be a remote-controlled bomb.

The bomber would be waiting either from a window across the street from the girl's house or from a car on the opposite side of the street. In his hand, Rami would have an electric switch about the size of a cigarette pack that would automatically open the garage doors from a distance.

If, as usual, Ahmed Hilma left the house alone and got into the car... As soon as Ahmed got in and started the engine, Rami would press the remote control.

Just press the button. The bomb that was set up would explode with a loud bang as soon as the button was pressed.

However, if the girl had come out and gotten into the car, Rami would have simply not pressed the button. The girl would have been able to drive the bomb-laden car to her destination without any danger.

Elias explained that a bomb planted in a car is harmless and cannot explode unless the remote button is pressed. Elias explained that the bomb will not explode unless the button is pressed.

Rami liked the plan Elis presented. So Rami asked Elis if it was possible to negotiate with the arms dealer Pepe Zizi to arrange for such a bomb.

“Maybe,” Elis replied. But there was still a problem. “I have a friend who wants to meet both Elis and Pepi, the two people who are going to be involved in this case. To be honest, I think he and you have to meet. If he doesn’t, then this whole bombing won’t happen at all, because this friend of mine is the one who is going to pay for the weapons, the cars, the bribes, everything.” Elis and Pepi wanted to know. “Why does he want to meet us?” Rami asked in a pleading tone. “He wants to make sure that the bomb you’re going to make is a real bomb and that you’re both trustworthy.”

Rami continued in a reluctant tone, "What you two have to do is bring the bomb to detonate, explain to him how to detonate it, then shake hands with him, he will examine you, and that's it. That's not a small burden for either of you, because my friend is the one who is responsible for all the costs of this whole affair."

Ellis said

"I can do it."

Peppi was hesitant. He wanted the money for this explosives deal. He was the kind of guy who would dig a hole in the ground if he got the money. But when it came to meeting a stranger, he hesitated. Elis sensed Peppi's hesitation and went in to explain.

“This guy, this young student terrorist group is like a spring flower, blooming for a moment and then disappearing. I don’t know when Rami and his group will disappear. But if you know Rami’s backer, “the contact person,” you can continue to trade weapons even after Rami and his group is no longer there.”

Peppi was not a brilliant thinker, but when he explained it in such a simple, economic way, he understood it immediately. And so

"You're right," he agreed.

Here, Elias told Rami that they both agreed to meet the man of the season.

Then Rami made a plan for the two of them to meet the following Sunday.
