The hypothesis that the director of the Social Security Bureau had betrayed them was not groundless.
Without more information, Weizi could only make such a hypothesis.
Because Russia had no reason to hijack the plane to the Yamsk ballistic missile test base.
It would be easy to explain anywhere else.
But why here?
Any matter must have enough benefits to promote the establishment of the matter itself.
At the Yamsk ballistic missile test base, an extremely important ballistic missile test was being carried out. At this time, if they hijacked an American private plane and arrived there, wouldn't their missile test work be in vain?
In addition, it was true that Russia had the technology to hijack the GPS signal.
But didn't the two pilots on the plane know to send out a distress signal?
After all, their flight route was from New Qiansui Airport to Shanghai International Airport.
This was the basic territory of Japan and Hua Xia. Russia could hijack the GPS signal, but they would never dare to send a fighter jet to threaten a passenger plane.
Then …
There was only one possibility left.
The two pilots took the initiative to change their course, and the passengers on the plane either acquiesced to the pilots' actions or did not know that the route had been changed.
But there was an unavoidable link here.
Whether the passengers acquiesced or not, before the plane entered Russian airspace, Russian ground radar would definitely discover this "unidentified aircraft".
According to the aviation routine treaty signed by various countries, after Russia discovered an unidentified aircraft, it would first use the radio to call the aircraft, ask them to identify themselves, and immediately change their course.
If the other party did not listen to the advice, Russia would send a fighter jet to chase after them.
It was a commercial charter plane belonging to Delta Airlines. The fuselage was painted with eye-catching colors and had a complete plane number.
Moreover, the fuselage was equipped with a close-range radio identification signal that the pilot could not manually turn off.
As long as the fighter jet flew to the side of the passenger plane, it would definitely figure out its identity. Then, it would inform Delta Airlines and the American aviation department of this situation.
This was not the Cold War, nor was it a state of hostility.
Russia's predecessor, the Soviet Union, had suffered a few international losses from shooting down civil aviation. Now, they were all shrewd. Once it was verified to be a commercial passenger plane, they would definitely inform the airline and country that the plane belonged to and put themselves in the position of the victim.
Unless …
There was an unspeakable conspiracy inside.
Weizi pondered for a moment, but did not express her thoughts.
Everyone present was shrewd. This kind of problem did not need to be discussed. They only needed evidence.
"Why are we able to take this photo?" Wez glanced at the Pentagon representative who provided the photo.
"It was a pure coincidence that I was able to take this photo."
The soldier with the star on his shoulder said, "I believe everyone knows about the SS-26 modified ballistic missile that is being tested in the Yamsk ballistic missile test base in the past two months."
"According to reliable intelligence, this ballistic missile is an anti-ship model that can attack large ships on the sea."
"Ever since Hua Xia installed anti-ship ballistic missiles, countries with the ability have been working hard to develop similar missiles. Of course, the United States is also developing it. But this time, Russia is ahead of us and wants to conduct a live-fire test. "
"For such an important test mission, of course we have to put in the greatest effort to obtain information."
"In addition to ground intelligence, we have also deployed a synthetic aperture radar reconnaissance satellite in orbit above them."
"They don't have anti-satellite surveillance measures?" Wez asked in confusion.
The soldier was startled. "Of course there are precautions."
"Synthetic aperture radar imaging relies on radar waves to achieve. Every time the base conducts an off-site test, they will turn on directional electromagnetic frequency interference equipment."
"But for some reason, last night, all of their anti-air radars were turned on, including several large anti-air radars that we do not know where they are deployed. These radars seem to be searching for something."
"In terms of technical principles, whether it is the reconnaissance type synthetic aperture radar or the anti-air search radar, they are all a type of radar."
"When they turn on the large search radar, they must turn off the directional electromagnetic frequency interference equipment or switch to another interference channel that does not match their radar frequency."
"We seized the short few minutes of frequency switching time and used the reconnaissance satellite to take dozens of synthetic aperture radar data images."
"It takes time to convert these encrypted data into visible photos." The soldier raised his head with anger in his eyes. "When we processed the data for manual comparison, we found the tail of a Boeing 747 in a hangar."
"Can two Boeing 747s go missing at the same time in this world?"
"I need to know the cause of this plane's appearance at the base," Wez said seriously. "The more clues we have, the more active we will be in negotiations with Russia."
"Without clues, we can't determine whether the Director of the Social Security Bureau has really defected to Russia."
"But if he really betrayed us, we will fall into an abyss of passivity."
The soldier with the star on his shoulder shook his head, and a powerless expression appeared on his slightly aged face. "The intelligence workers have done their best. You know that the base's defense is even tighter than the Kremlin."
"At present, we only know that the moment the Boeing 747 landed on the base's runway, the entire base entered the highest level of wartime alert."
"The electromagnetic wave receiving equipment carried by the reconnaissance satellite we deployed in the sky received a massive amount of electromagnetic signals at that moment."
"Not only are there anti-air radar signals, but there are also the most advanced active phased array radar signals."
"Even among the many Russian reconnaissance satellites monitored by the Aerospace Department, one of the Earth-orbit reconnaissance satellites even underwent an emergency orbit change."
"According to the orbit calculation, the location of its orbit change is over the Yamsk ballistic missile test base."
Wez's gradually clear mind suddenly became a little messy.
Russia's reaction …
Would it be a little too intense?
It was impossible for them not to know that the Boeing 747 was going to land on the base's runway.
Without their permission, it was impossible for the plane to land safely on the runway.
The plane and everyone on the plane were already under their absolute control, so why were they still acting like they were facing a great enemy?
Was it necessary to pretend for who?
Things had become even more complicated and confusing.
Wez was not good at military conjectures, so she asked in an inquiring tone, "Could this be a smoke bomb released by Russia?"
"It's still …" The general was trying to buy more time for the investigation through Wez. Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock …"
The knocking on the door was unusually urgent.
"Please come in," Wez ordered.
It was the staff member who interrupted the press conference. He entered the door and quickly glanced at the crowd. Finally, he stopped at the two representatives of the National Aviation Department.
"There's a red emergency phone."
The two representatives of the National Aviation Department immediately got up and said that they would leave first.
After the two left the office, Wez glanced at the very conspicuous orange heavy phone on the desk. "Is it Mr. President's?"
"No …"
The staff member hesitated. "It's … from the Russian Kremlin."
"What?" Wez and the two generals from the Pentagon stood up at once.
Damn it!
Who gave the Russians the courage to call them after they hijacked the plane?
"Did they ask for anything on the phone?"
"No, they only asked to talk to you, and now they are waiting on the line."
"Put them in." Wez strode to the desk and slammed her unusually white palm on the desk.
Dozens of seconds later, the red phone emitted a harsh ringtone.
"Hello, this is the Office of the Assistant to the President in the White House."
"Hello, Miss Wez …" An unusually cold voice came from the microphone on the Kremlin's side.
"Please tell me the purpose of your call." Wez turned on the speakerphone so that the two generals from the Pentagon could also hear the voice.
Because Wez and the others were not sure whether the Director of the Social Security Bureau had betrayed them and contacted Russia, or whether Russia had a shocking conspiracy and took the initiative to hijack the plane.
Therefore, Wez could only wait for the other party to take the initiative to say the purpose of the call.
Unexpectedly, the other party sneered.
"Hehe."
"Miss Wez, although Russia has lost the majesty of the Soviet Union in the past."
"But it is definitely not something that you Americans can bully at will."
"You dare to hold a press conference?"
"You … what do you mean?" Wez was stunned.
"Nothing. We just want a reasonable compensation and a reasonable explanation."
The other party's tone continued to be cold. "Otherwise, you can wait for us to follow you, Miss Wez, and hold a press conference in the Kremlin in front of the world's media."
..
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
This was Wez's current state.
Not only her, but even the two generals from the Pentagon next to her were completely stunned.
They now had conclusive evidence that the Boeing 747 plane had been hijacked by Russia through technical means to the Yamsk ballistic missile test base.
Whether it was the Director's back or not, since Russia dared to let the plane in, they had already committed the original sin.
This was iron-clad evidence.
Whether it was international public opinion or the United Nations General Assembly, the Russians had already fallen into the most passive party.
Moreover, the Director was not the only one on the plane. There were also representatives from the Department of Commerce and dozens of world-renowned media teams.
If one ignored the identity of the Director of the Social Security Bureau, Russia was provoking the most sensitive nerve in the world's commercial aviation industry. If the United States released the evidence, Russia would only attract the unanimous boycott of all commercial airlines.
They …
Actually called to ask for compensation and an explanation?
