Chapter 39 Positioning (2)

"Now, it's the turn of the last and most urgent question, where did the plane go?" Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Quiet's expression became more and more calm, and he talked eloquently: "At present, there is a serious shortage of information, but there is still the most critical information for us to grasp......"

Everyone understood what Quiet was talking about, and the extremely short signal received by the maritime satellite might help them deduce the approximate area of the plane at that time.

Sure enough, Quiet's next words completely confirmed their thoughts.

"According to intelligence, this satellite is a geostationary satellite Inmstra1-F3 located at 65 degrees east longitude, and the antenna angle between it and DH740 at that time was 40 degrees, so we can roughly reverse an arc of the possible position of the aircraft."

Quietly and skillfully walked to the front of the command platform, tapped a few times on the computer, and soon showed a brief schematic diagram on the projection of the large screen, with the maritime satellite as the origin, and on the periphery of the origin, a circular arc expanded and formed one after another.

A group of people are a little incredulous, you say that a doctor of literature, even if it is a military student who transferred later, even if you are picturesque and elegant, even if you are able to analyze intelligence, you can accept it, but what does it mean that you are so good at mathematics? Why are you embarrassed by us scumbags?

Seeing Quiet constantly checking on the computer, watching Quiet bring a map of the world into the picture, constantly adjusting the scale, and constantly rotating the angle, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Finally, when the world map continued to merge with the previously formed schematic diagram, and finally became completely integrated, and the freeze frame was magnified, the entire war room was stunned!

"I'm going!"

Almost everyone is a little crazy.

Judging from this map, the plane whose whereabouts are unknown and strangely missing, first, may continue to fly northwest and enter an unknown airport in the territory of the Republic; the second is to fly to the northwest Indo-Pakistani subcontinent, and may fly as far as several small countries in Central and North Asia, that is, the nest of the East Uguchat organization; the third is to fly to the southwest, across the entire Indiana Ocean, and as far as the coast of the pirate-infested African continent; Fourth, turn around and turn around, fly all the way south over the Indiana Ocean, and may fly as far as the Antarctic ice and snow continent!

Oh my! This range basically covers the entire Arthur Continent and part of Australia and New Zealand, the West and Pacific Oceans, the South and Pacific Oceans, the coast of the Indiana Ocean, all countries and regions, basically all of which are packed in.

The map marked with red dots, which can provide the landing location of the passenger plane, appears on the screen one after another, and then quickly marks the location, densely arranged, each arrangement, the number in the upper right corner of the large screen is increased by one.

When all the locations are marked, the number stops changing and is finally fixed on a single number. The numbers that shone bright red were so dazzling, so amazing—

643!

In this area of tens of millions of square kilometers, there are 643 locations for aircraft to take off and land!

The silence that had just finished entering the data, raised his head slightly, and suddenly found that the room was silent, and everyone had a crazy expression, suddenly thought of something, his face was dark red, and he coughed twice: "Well, cough cough, we can see that this area is so large...... Well...... However, if you carefully analyze and apply the elimination method, this range will be greatly reduced! ”

Quietly picked up the electronic command pole, drew a circle in the northeast to the territory of the republic with red points of light, and said: "First of all, a considerable part of these 643 suspected locations, specifically 387, are small airports or airstrips that only allow small planes to take off and land. It does not have the conditions for the take-off and landing of large passenger aircraft, and it can be excluded. ”

Quiet slender fingers danced on the keyboard, and a large red marker disappeared from the screen.

"The plane will not fly in the direction of the republic, otherwise our radar will not be undetected, and judging by the respective purposes of the three parties, they will not enter the territory of the republic and kill themselves!"

None of the dozens of people here had any objection to this, because the facts have already shown that the plane did not come! Watching the quiet and rapid tapping of the keyboard, the dozens and hundreds of large and small airports in the Republic disappeared from the big screen, and their eyes began to gradually light up.

"Let's look at the northwest again." Quietly tapping the keyboard, he enlarged the northwest map centered on the location where the plane disappeared, drew a circle in this area, and said: "The entire Indo-Pakistani subcontinent on this course, including the two great powers of Indiana and Batystan, as well as Alfuhan, Gilles, and Turkmans, as well as more than a dozen small countries such as Erek and Abaidi in Siathral, although this area is the location of the nest of the East Uguchat organization, but don't forget that the land and ground of that course, Either the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas and the remnants of the Himalayas above 3,000 meters, or the uninhabited Gobi Desert. The countries that pass through it are even more unstable areas with tense relations and wars, and Indiana is a country that is known for its nervousness, and it is a fluke to pass through such a zone, through a network of radars, satellites, missiles and anti-aircraft guns of different models, and it is already a fluke not to be shot down, and still hope not to be discovered? And in fact, Batystan, which has the closest relationship with our country, did not find any reports of this flight at all. ”

Quiet hands swiped lightly across the keyboard, and the large and small airport signs in the northwest direction also disappeared.

"What's more, there's another thing we have to take into account – it's sunrise time!" Silence called up a schematic diagram in the computer, and a map of the world's sunshine distribution was quickly displayed on the big screen, "Keep the communication silent, and if the plane with the navigation system turned off wants to land, in addition to relying on the pilot's skills, the most important condition is visibility!" We can't imagine that in the middle of the night, an aircraft of great value for all parties would carry out a crazy blind landing in the dark! ”

Quiet took a long breath and said, "But we can see that due to the time difference, at about 8 o'clock this morning, Liangzhou in our country has just dawned, and from here to the west, it is still in the darkest time period before dawn, sinking in the boundless night. Moreover, I have just checked the weather data, and most of the area is still cloudy today! ”

Listening to the quiet analysis, watching the red markers in another large area be cleared from the screen, a sudden feeling of enlightenment slowly rose in the war room - since a large area of land is concentrated in the north, and most of the southern area is in the vast ocean, when the northeast and northwest directions are excluded, there are less than 20 red dots left on the map!

Next, it's the turn of the southwest direction.

"Southwest," said Quietly, "there are 12 airports in the vast Indiana Ocean that can provide conditions for large passenger planes to take off and land, but, for the same reason as before, most of these areas are still in the dark, and it is too difficult for an aircraft with the navigation system turned off to land. Except for this place—"

The fingers that were quietly tapping on the keyboard suddenly became a little heavy, and his expression became extremely serious, and his eyebrows were full of worry.

As her finger slammed on the enter key, a point of light glowing with a blinding red light continued to zoom in and out again, and a few seconds later, a satellite image appeared on the big screen.

On the rough sea, a small island stands noisily, with wide docks, huge aircraft carriers, and densely packed airplanes...... It is clear that this is a huge military base!

"Hiss-" A gasp rang out in the war room.

"This is—" Lei Tiangang's thick eyebrows almost joined together.

"Minia Federation-" Lei's face became extremely ugly.

"Dee! Second! Elder brother! Army! Affair! Base! Earth! Huang Xiwen gritted his teeth and spit out seven words.

Diego Military Base, the only military base of the Commonwealth of Minia on the Indiana Ocean, is also the largest overseas military base of the Commonwealth of Minia.

Strategically located at the heart of the Indiana Ocean shipping route, the site is strategically prominent. The main island of Diego covers an area of 128.5 square kilometers. The base has complete comprehensive facilities, with 4,000 soldiers stationed in the Minian Army, a total area of about 44 square kilometers, a runway of more than 3,600 meters long, capable of taking off and landing B-53, B-2, B-3 and other long-range heavy strategic bombers, with a landing apron of 370,000 square meters and more than 100 fighters. There are 10 B-53 bombers and KG-135 and KG-10 air tankers that provide air refueling support for their long-distance flights. At the same time, there is also a Marine Brigade of the Commonwealth of Minia with various equipment and hundreds of air-launched "battle flags"**.

The base port has two deep-water lanes and a military wharf, which can berth large aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and pre-positioned fleets of combat materials, and is fully equipped to support the activities of the Minia aircraft carrier battle group, amphibious landing formations, and strategic bombers in the Indiana Ocean.

This military base is highly secretive and has a strong air defense capability, in order to build this base, the Commonwealth of Minia even moved all the indigenous people on the island to other locations without landing, if flight MH370 wants to fly through or land here, without being discovered by the garrison on high alert, I am afraid that no clever pilot can do it.

However, the crux of the matter is that if the plane was indeed hijacked by intelligence agents of the Commonwealth of Minia, this is the most likely place to land!

For one, agents of Minia are fully able to rely on light signals and other means to get in touch with the base garrison;

Second, the base garrison is fully capable of guiding aircraft to land in the dark;

Thirdly, and most importantly, with the special type and extreme importance of the intelligence on the plane, the base garrison has every reason to keep this matter secret, and after the goal is achieved, as long as they make up a random story, they can gag the mouth of world public opinion, but the Republic has absolutely no reason to complain about the behavior of the Minya garrison, and even thank them for saving the lives of more than 150 citizens of the Republic!

And before that, as long as the Minians don't speak, the outside world will not get a little news!
