Chapter 40: Positioning (3)
In the war room, the atmosphere was surprisingly solemn and depressing, and everyone's faces became extremely ugly at this moment.
Because everyone knows what it will mean if that happens.
That means that Cao Jingren and Shui Yaoxian will be controlled by the independence elements of the Minian Federation, that is, the island independence elements, and the information that is about to arrive and the peace agreement that is being eagerly awaited by people on both sides of the strait will be forcibly taken away from their hands at the moment when they are about to arrive.
That means that the process of the republic's military and technological progress and peaceful reunification will be interrupted!
Moreover, that means that the republic will face accusations from the Commonwealth of Minia and will have to make significant concessions on some diplomatic issues in order to quell the verbal criticism of international public opinion, especially Western public opinion, and all kinds of sanctions that are very likely to come!
This is the kind of war in the intelligence community, even if you steal the top secret of your opponent, as long as you are not "stolen by others," you can deny it in every possible way, and no matter how the opponent condemns it, you can ignore it and remain unmoved.
On the other hand, even if you only get some trivial information, once you have solid evidence, you have to face a situation of extreme passivity.
Cruel, icy rules.
If the Republic wants to recapture these intelligence documents and destroy the evidence, it must consider what it will face - all of which will require penetrating into the opposing military bases, suppressing the enemy's powerful firepower, and confronting more than 4,000 elite troops.
A small number of special combat personnel obviously can't do this, even if the Angry Dragon Brigade is all dispatched! The only way to do this is to send a large combined naval and air army!
Regardless of whether the Republic's military power is capable of projecting its military power into the ocean, what does it mean if it can be done in a very short period of time before intelligence and evidence are leaked to a military base in Minia, which is far away from the ocean? That would mean a fierce clash of two of the world's largest nations, and the most powerful military forces in the world – and that would be almost a new world war!
"This direction, this direction...... This direction is impossible! In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded, at first a little hoarse, a little hesitant, but louder and more firm, when the word "impossible" was spoken, the tone was already categorical.
It's thunder!
It was the first time in so long a long time that Lei Dong had spoken out since he first suggested that the East Uguchat organization might be involved in the disappearance of the plane, and there was an unexpected and relieved relief on his face, which swept away the anxiety of a minute ago.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on himself, Lei Dong smiled lightly and said, "My reason is very simple, there is not enough fuel!" ”
How so? This location is obviously within the circle drawn according to the signal of the Inmarsat, that is to say, the plane can have a signal contact with the satellite in this place, how can it reach this place due to lack of fuel?
But after a moment, their eyes lit up, yes! Low on fuel!
The expression on Lei Dong's face, after seeing everyone's eyes, became more relaxed and confident: "It seems that everyone has also noticed this problem, the plane disappeared in the North Indiana Ocean, and if you want to turn southwest to fly, you must first pass through the three countries of Annam, Bathestan, and Indiana, and Comrade Jing has previously analyzed that the air defense of these three countries is very strong, and due to regional conflicts and antagonism, vigilance is also very high, to cross this region, there is only one way, only in case of success!" ”
"You mean, ultra-low-altitude flight?" Lei Tiangang spoke slowly.
"That's right! It is ultra-low-altitude flight, and only in this way can this huge aircraft have the possibility to evade radar and cross thousands of rivers and mountains! Even if we assume that the hijacker pilot has superb piloting skills and enough experience to avoid air defense networks, let's not forget that flying at low altitudes below 1,500 meters is not only much slower, but also consumes twice as much fuel as normal high-altitude cruises! Lei Dong accentuated his tone: "The fuel carried by flight DH740 can only support 8 hours of normal flight!" ”
"Boom", the atmosphere in the war room suddenly seemed to come alive from the cold ice of 10,000 years.
It is clear from the data on the map that the flight to the southwest to the Diego military base, from the point of the last call to the ground, would take at least four hours at the maximum speed of the aircraft. And the low speed of low-altitude flight, coupled with the amount of fuel consumed, when the plane runs out of fuel and falls into the sea, you can't even see the hair of the military base!
This judgment made everyone breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and Jing Jing also nodded, "I agree with Comrade Lei Dong's judgment!" ”
Quiet bit the word "comrade" very hard, and Lei Dong's heart jumped in love, "Angry? But then, Lei Dong noticed that Quiet's little mouth was slightly upturned, and his eyes revealed a hint of mischievous and joyful at the same time.
This look flashed, and if it weren't for Lei Dong's amazing eyesight and always paying attention to his quiet every move, he really wouldn't have been able to find out.
Lei Dong was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
Obviously, before Lei Dong opened his mouth to speak, Jing Jing had actually considered this issue, and the reason why he didn't say it right away was obviously to test his own "students", or even to test Lei Dong's reaction.
As soon as he thought of this, Lei Dong was a little helpless: "What is this serious, and this thought!" The trouble of people is really not bad at all if it is a good teacher, and the words of the saint and his old man are really not bad......"
However, his thoughts immediately changed, and Lei Dong was a little complacent: "Or is this young master the fastest to react, I don't know if this is a little clear?" ”
Although he knew that the situation was critical now and that it was not the time to be distracted, Lei Dong couldn't help but look at Quiet's small mouth and fall into a sense of sweetness.
"Since the northeast, northwest, and southwest directions can basically be ruled out, then the rest is only one possibility in the southeast direction!" Quietly and quickly tapped on the keyboard, bringing up the map of the southeast direction.
As the map rotates and zooms in, the war room is silent, you can barely even breathe, everyone knows that the final truth is about to be revealed!
To the southeast, the vast East Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are connected to each other, and the vast sea surface is sprinkled like pearls with islands of different shapes, sizes and colors.
On these islands, there are only seven red dots that represent large aircraft that can take off and land.
And the elimination of these red dots went very smoothly. Due to the fact that most of the area is covered by a vast ocean, and the world's major powers are mainly concentrated in the northern hemisphere, there is a lack of necessary strategic points, so military facilities are quite scarce, and the land is sparsely populated, and the population is mainly concentrated in a few large cities, and the airports that can land large aircraft in this vast area are also concentrated in densely populated cities, and the current situation shows that the missing flight DH740 did not land here.
Therefore, in addition to the airports in the four major cities of the New Zealand and Australian Federation, and the island airports that are located in the tropics and have been abandoned for many years, the runway has been overgrown with big trees and grass, and is no longer suitable for aircraft to take off and land, there is only a flashing red dot left on the screen.
"This is it! Holy Emperor Light Island! Silence let out a long breath and said categorically.
Located in the subarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, this mallet-shaped island covers an area of about 150 ordinary kilometers and is less than 500 kilometers from the Antarctic continent of ice and snow.
More than 500 years ago, the navigator at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, McBron discovered in his first voyage around the world that after an exterminating massacre against the local indigenous people, McBron, who believed in the Holy Religion of Light, and more than 200 crew members built a statue of the Holy Land of Light dozens of meters high on this island, in order to declare that all heretics must be eradicated, and the glory of the Holy Religion of Light will eventually shine on the earth.
In the 30s and 40s of the last century, as a non-very important node of the southern hemisphere sea lanes, light signals were installed on the statue of the Holy Land of Light as a beacon indicator for passing ships. In the seventies and eighties of the last century, when people were keen on exploration and world travel, an airstrip with only one runway was built here for large passenger planes to take off and land, but it was abandoned at the beginning of this century due to the lack of tourism resources.
However, due to the climate, the plants grow slowly, and the runway that has been hardened by cement does not grow too tall plants, but is covered with a shallow layer of green vegetation.
"Dididi", a few short prompts interrupted the calm in the war room, as well as the thoughts of dozens of members of the Angry Dragon Brigade, everyone was just stunned, and the projection screen on the large screen suddenly turned, and a major general carrying a gold star epaulette suddenly inserted into the picture.
This major general, with fair skin, eyes hidden behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses squinted, looks very elegant. But the team members who knew this person didn't think so at all.
Yin Cunyang, deputy director of the Third Department of the General Staff, graduated from the Department of Mathematics of a prestigious university 30 years ago, and was directly assigned to the Third Department after joining the army, responsible for technical intelligence work, and was just promoted to major general last year.
This person never plays cards according to common sense, so he broke into the secret meeting of the Angry Dragon Brigade without saying hello, which is just a small test.
However, it is undeniable that this person has an extremely high IQ and is full of wisdom, and he has collected countless important information for the republic, and is the "priority" target of prevention in the secret archives of the intelligence agencies of many countries.
"There are several important pieces of information to report!" Yin Cunyang's tone was very calm, and the words in his mouth seemed to be explaining, and it was like throwing out a cold notice, as if it was a very normal and natural thing to break in like this.
Fortunately, Lei Tiangang knew the character of this non-direct subordinate, and he was not angry, so he opened his mouth and asked, more direct than Yin Cunyang: "Ayim Nawal confessed?" Is the incident related to the organization of East Ukraine? ”
