Chapter 128: Goodbye, President
The atmosphere in the White House press briefing room was a little strange, and although O's speech continued, most of the attention of the reporters on the scene was no longer there.
There is a wireless network in the press conference hall that can be directly connected to the Internet, and the reporters present basically brought laptops, so some of them directly stopped recording Ao Guanhai's speech, boarded the super base camp forum, and soon found the post of the wisdom cube on the homepage of the military talk section.
This post has been refined and highlighted by a super large moderator, and in less than ten minutes, not only has it exceeded 10,000 clicks, but it has also received nearly 1,000 replies.
After clicking on it, everyone's faces suddenly showed surprise, and many people even exclaimed involuntarily.
Even if some of them do not understand military affairs and do not understand Chinese, they are also stunned by the photos in the post.
This is also incredible, a top-secret operation of the US military was actually monitored and recorded by someone throughout the whole process, and it was also posted on the Internet in a high-sounding manner!
Especially at this landmark moment in the history of the American War on Terror, this post is nothing short of an insult to the American red fruit.
With a little brain, you can be sure that these photos will never come from the hands of the US military.
Looking at the four strangely shaped stealth helicopters involved in the operation, you can see how painstaking the US military is, and the Yankees will definitely not easily leak this top-secret weapon.
And even if there is a battlefield record, unless the Americans have their brains pumped, who will have nothing to do with this kind of panoramic shot similar to that in a blockbuster movie for their military base, not to mention that there are four top-secret stealth helicopters parked on the runway.
It's just that reporters can't ask questions at this time. Even though Ao Guanhai noticed the abnormality, his speech continued.
“…… Today, at my direction, the U.S. military carried out a targeted operation against a target in Abad, Pakistan. The operation was carried out by a small group of American soldiers of extraordinary courage and ability, and there were no American casualties. After an exchange of fire, American soldiers killed Osama bin Laden and took possession of Ben LD's body.
Over the past two decades, Ben. LD has been the leader and symbol of al-Qaeda and has constantly orchestrated attacks against our country, friends and allies.
The death of Ben LD is the most important achievement we have achieved to date in the fight against Al-Qaeda......"
White House press door. A staff member hurried over and whispered a few words to the press officer.
The press officer's face immediately changed dramatically. He whispered, "Do you have to stop talking on TV right away?"
The staff member said with some bitterness: "Now the televised speech has no meaning, this is a provocation by a terrorist organization against the American government, and if it continues, it will only make the world laugh, and Secretary of State Mrs. Hillary Clinton has asked for an urgent meeting of the National Security Council." Mr. President, you must come over immediately......"
The press officer gritted his teeth. Signal the on-site staff to turn off the microphone. Then he walked quickly to Ao Guanhai's side and whispered a few words, Ao Guanhai's face turned black and white, white and black. All of a sudden, it was gloomy.
The White House press officer took the microphone and said to the reporters at the scene: "I'm sorry, due to some unexpected circumstances, the president's televised speech was suspended, if you have any questions, you can ask them at the regular White House press conference tomorrow......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang next to him, and Ao Guanhai kicked open the door of the press conference hall and walked out directly.
The camera lens meticulously recorded Ao Guanhai's every move.
The White House press officer looked at the reporters in the audience with some embarrassment, speechless.

To the east of the Karakoram Mountains, the wilderness.
There are several more Mi-17 plateau helicopters around the stealth Black Hawk that have come to support.
After confirming that the stealth Black Hawk was intact, this time in addition to bringing some supplies, it was accompanied by two experienced helicopter pilots.
The cockpit of this helicopter also features a very advanced glass-enclosed cockpit.
Luckily, both pilots have thousands of hours of flying experience and have flown a wide range of helicopter types, so they were able to get up to speed quickly.
After inspecting the aircraft, Zhu Xiaohang said to one of the pilots: "Lao Chen, this should be the legendary RUH-60, the upgraded version of the Black Hawk helicopter, which should belong to the latest production batch of the American Sikorsky company, which has increased the engine power and added more special functions for plateau raid operations." ”
In fact, Zhu Xiaohang was not surprised that Sikorsky was able to produce such a model of helicopter.
Lao Mei had previously engaged in a "Comanche" stealth martial arts project.
In 1983, the Pentagon launched the "Comanche" project, decided to establish a project and began to develop stealth helicopters. At that time, the US military hoped to develop a new type of armed reconnaissance helicopter with a twin-engine, two-seater, stealth effect, and powerful firepower of the "Apache," which, together with the "Apache," would form the main combat aircraft group of the US Army Aviation in the future.
The most outstanding advantage of the RAH-66 "Comanche" is the use of a comprehensive stealth design unprecedented in a helicopter. The fuselage adopts a polyhedral sleek corner design similar to the F-117 to reduce the right-angle reflection surface and use absorbing materials; the engine air intake is exquisitely designed to avoid large echoes caused by radar waves shining on the turbofan; and the ducted fan tail rotor design, which is rare in American helicopter design, has fewer radar reflection echoes than the traditional tail rotor. The combination of the above measures makes the radar echo and infrared radiation of the RAH-66 significantly lower than that of other helicopters, which can be called the F-117 among helicopters.
When the first Comanche prototype was unveiled in 1996, manufacturers Boeing and Sikorsky were very optimistic about the future of the model. Boeing said that the combat effectiveness of the Comanche has "exceeded all expectations." However, due to overspending and R&D delays, the "Comanche" project has been repeatedly criticized.
After the end of the Cold War, the U.S. military also faced the problem of transformation. Coupled with the fact that drones have proven their worth on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. Army announced the cancellation of the Comanche project on February 23, 2004, after smashing in $6.9 billion and spending 21 years of valuable time.
You must know that as the main contractor of the "Comanche" project, the level of Sikorsky company is very high, although the "Comanche" helicopter was dismounted due to cost and other reasons, but Sikorsky company has mastered a large number of stealth jishu, and it is not difficult to modify the "Black Hawk".
It can be seen from this that in order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, the US military has made a heavy investment and sent the latest cutting-edge stealth helicopters to take the lead. However, people are not as good as heaven, and the accidental fall of a "Black Hawk" allowed this top-secret weapon to be exposed.
The only thing that Zhu Xiaohang couldn't figure out was how this helicopter appeared in such a place where birds don't.

Jiangcheng, Jinyuan Community.
The moment Ao Guanhai kicked the door, a mouthful of soy milk almost squirted out of Chen Xin's mouth.
Chen Xin muttered: "I'll wipe it, this time it's a big fuss, Ao Guanhai has lost such a big face, if he knew that I did it, he would have to issue a global pursuit order." (To be continued......)
