A plane is not like a car or train. It does not have a fixed time to arrive at its destination.
The Boeing 747 had been delayed for almost 5 hours.
According to the last refueling record of the plane at New Qiansui Airport, 5 hours is the maximum flight time for the plane.
In these 5 hours, the US Aviation Department had mobilized all the forces they could to search for the Boeing 747.
The ground control stations of the various countries that had spoken to this plane not only sent the original call records to the US Aviation Department, but they also sent the communicators to the US Aviation Department for questioning.
The US military bases in South Korea and Japan also sent out search teams to search for the plane along the routes from Japan to Shanghai and Jeonju Island.
A reconnaissance satellite in the Asia-Pacific region received an emergency order to change its orbit. It used the radar position of the last call as the center to conduct an optical reconnaissance of 500 kilometers.
One hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Both the search teams and the reconnaissance satellites found nothing.
Instead, the investigation team was convinced that the plane did not crash.
This is because the route to Shanghai and Jeonju Island is one of the busiest routes in the world. If the plane crashed, it will crash into the sea. In this area of the sea, there were many merchant ships and fishing boats scattered about.
Even if no one noticed the plane crashing into the sea, the plane will be torn into pieces when it hit the sea at high speed. These pieces will float on the sea and will be noticed.
The black box of the plane did not release any seawater dye.
Combined with the fake GPS signal, the plane flew all the way to Shanghai.
The US Aviation Department is sure that the Boeing 747 was interfered with when it turned towards Jeonju Island.
The US Intelligence Network is activated immediately. They are trying their best to collect any information related to this Boeing 747.
… …
Western Suburb Hotel in Shanghai.
At the time when the flight was expected to arrive at Shanghai Airport, Ye Qing took a special car and came to the hotel in the western suburbs of Shanghai.
Ye Qing wants to be the host. After all, the Bureau Chief, Mr. Nenambona, came from afar. Ye Qing does not want them to wait for him at the hotel. He wants to welcome them at the hotel.
The media had arrived earlier than Ye Qing. There were more than 200 media outlets from all over the world, and a third of them were from the United States.
If it was according to the normal flight time, the negotiation team led by Director Nenan Bona would have already arrived in Shanghai.
However, the media waited for an hour, waited for two hours, and still didn't see Chief Nenbona's special car.
Three hours later, the media felt that something was amiss.
The Boeing 747 plane also carried dozens of reporters from the United States. They belonged to different media groups. Some of the reporters who were stationed in China tried to contact these reporters through satellite phones, but they couldn't reach them no matter what.
On the plane, the satellite signal was sometimes very mysterious. There were clearly three or four communication satellites above their heads, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not connect.
Sometimes, there was only one satellite, but the signal was good enough for a live broadcast.
But it didn't make sense that all the reporters couldn't contact their colleagues.
As time passed, an uneasy feeling slowly brewed in the reporter team. Many people thought of a possibility, but no one dared to mention it.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
At six o 'clock in the morning, there were already rumors that Director Nenbona's plane had "crashed".
This was not a groundless rumor. First of all, flight number E7004 never landed at Shanghai Airport.
Many fishermen and short-distance cargo ship sailors in the Yellow Sea area said online that they had all received radio notifications from Hua Xia, Japan, and South Korea.
The notification mentioned that if any suspected aircraft wreckage was found on the surface of the sea, or if any unusual orange color was found, to immediately report to the local maritime department.
The person who provided the correct information would receive a cash reward of 100,000 USD.
At nine o 'clock in the morning in Hua Xia, the United States had to hold a press conference due to public pressure.
Because of the attention of this flight and the uniqueness of the members.
The press conference was of high standard. Not only was it held in the press conference room of the White House, but the spokesperson was also the first assistant to the President, Miss Weizi.
Inside the press conference room, even the aisles were full of people.
These reporters from all over the world were speculating about the possibility of that flight.
Until Weizi, in a black slim-fit suit, walked into the room with a dignified expression.
The noise came to an abrupt end.
The reporters could sense that something was wrong from Weizi's face.
Weizi walked to the front of the stage full of microphones and raised her hands to signal for everyone to be quiet.
"Today was supposed to be a happy day for us."
"But unfortunately, the meeting we were looking forward to couldn't be held as scheduled. The negotiation team led by our Social Security Bureau Director, Nenanbona, and the other media members on the plane did not arrive at the final destination, Shanghai, as scheduled.
"The moment the flight failed to land as scheduled, we immediately mobilized the surrounding international forces to search for the whereabouts of the E7004 private plane.
"We searched the sea area within a radius of 500 kilometers of the last contact point, but we didn't find any clues of a suspected aircraft.
"We have notified the families of all the passengers on the flight, but we did not tell them the news that will make all of us heartbroken."
Weizi paused, and her dignified expression was a little serious, even a little stern.
"I know that everyone is very curious about the whereabouts of this flight.
But ~
I want to tell everyone that this incident is an unprecedented and serious incident.
So far, we have reliable information. This flight did not crash, but someone changed the flight path.
In the face of this unprecedented flight incident, we will show unprecedented determination.
The final result of our ongoing investigation may be very complicated. But no matter how complicated the result is, it will not stop our determination to find this plane and all the people on the plane.
When the news came out, all the media members were shocked.
The White House usually liked to be vague when speaking, but the reporters present were all experts in deciphering things.
They immediately understood what happened to the Boeing 747.
It was not an accident as they had imagined.
So far, they had not found any wreckage of the plane. The closest sea area between Japan and Hua Xia was only a few hundred kilometers away, and it was the same distance to South Korea. So, it would not take long for them to search the entire sea area. The plane could not have crashed on land. With the population density of those countries, the plane would have made the headlines as soon as it started to smoke.
This plane might have been hijacked.
And the hijacker was not an ordinary person, at least not an enemy like the one in the World Trade Center incident.
Otherwise, Weizi would not have described this incident as unprecedented.
Who is it?
Who dares to go against the US?
According to the usual practice, there will be some time for the reporters to ask questions after the announcement. Even though Miss Weizi did not say it was time for the reporters to ask questions, more than half of the reporters stood up and raised their hands.
A reporter from the Columbia Radio Station was called. He asked anxiously, "Excuse me, who is our enemy?"
"Two of my colleagues were on this plane."
"We don't know yet." Weizi shook her head and asked the next reporter.
"Is there any evidence to prove that the crew is still alive?"
"There is no direct evidence, but according to the experts, the plane did not crash. It landed somewhere unknown."
Just as the next reporter was called to stand up, his question was suddenly interrupted by an uninvited guest.
It was a the White House staff member wearing sunglasses. He ran up from the side of the stage and whispered something into Weizi's ear.
Weizi's expression changed.
"I'm sorry, the press conference is over."
The reporters immediately went crazy. They had a hunch that a sensational international event was about to happen.
The press conference was broadcasted live by the media. Not only did the US people go crazy, but all the netizens who saw the news also went crazy.
…
In a certain office in the White House, Weizi quickly pushed the door open and entered.
The atmosphere inside was even more tense.
Not only was there the head of the aviation department, but there were also two generals in military uniforms.
Before Weizi sat down, she frowned and asked, "What is the news?"
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was cold.
But someone pushed a black and white photo forward.
Weizi's blue pupils shrank. She noticed that there was a factory in the photo that still smelled like ink.
The door of the factory was open, and there were soldiers standing in front of the door.
But this was not the key point. The photo must have information that was worth it for Weizi to suddenly stop the press conference.
Weizi saw the tail of a plane that was about to disappear at the entrance of the factory.
The head of the aviation department spoke. "Based on the scale of the people in the photo and the factory, we are sure that this is an airplane hangar."
"The exposed details of the tail of the plane have been confirmed by many Boeing engineers."
"That's a Boeing 747!"
Weizi's eyes were almost spitting fire. She slammed the table and asked sternly, "Where was the photo taken? I want to see which country dares to have ideas about our private plane."
"What about the military? Why didn't they prepare for the rescue?"
"Calm down first." The general from the Pentagon spoke. "At present, the rescue plan with special forces is definitely not feasible."
"Because the photo was taken in Russia."
"Detail the location. It's the Yamsk ballistic missile test base in Russia."
"Russia?"
Weizi's anger suddenly died down.
Whether Russia could resist the US special forces was no longer something that they needed to verify again with human lives.
Of course, she had heard of the name Yamsk ballistic missile test base, and she was even more clear about what was going on in this base recently.
It was just that …
She thought of countless possibilities, but she did not expect that the Boeing 747 would appear here.
Could it be …
