Along the gangway, the three of them went down to the ground and saw Captain Li coming forward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After the meeting, Captain Li said, "All the pre-flight checks have been completed. It will take about forty minutes to resupply and refuel. Steward Li and Staff Officer Zhao, what time do you think it is appropriate to take off? ”

"The original departure time remains the same." Steward Li said.

"Yes, the original schedule remains the same, and I can coordinate the actions of all parties." Staff Officer Zhao said: "According to the safety and confidentiality clause in the agreement, you should provide the route of this voyage two hours before departure. So that I can arrange the escort. ”

Captain Li looked at his watch and said, "Yes! Although there are still 15 minutes to go, there is still a lot to do. Steward Li, do you think of Staff Officer Zhao's proposal...... ”

Steward Li said: "Actually, there is not much information. The flight routes are all controlled by the air traffic of international standard civil routes. That is, two, one is the land southwest passageway, through Vietnam, the Strait of Malacca to Singapore. This route does not fly through the airspace of many countries and cannot be replenished by the air.

The other is by sea, through the Yellow Sea of China, and the East China Sea into the open sea. After air resupply, it flew through the Sea of Japan into the South China Sea. Cross the Straits of Malacca to Singapore. This one suited our needs, so we chose this route. ”

The more Staff Officer Zhao listened, the more frowning he became, and when Steward Li finished speaking, Staff Officer Zhao whispered with a sad face: "This is how your family chose the sea route?" ”

The two of the Li family nodded together. Staff Officer Zhao had a worried face, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that this route will pass through the Magic Dragon Triangle and the South China Sea Triangle in the Sea of Japan?" Staff Officer Zhao asked.

Captain Li said: "Yes, but there are not too many incident records in these two locations. It's autumn and there are almost no hurricanes. In addition, the accident records at both locations are mostly shipwrecked. Unlike the Bermuda Triangle, which has both. ”

"I won't say much about the Dragon Triangle in the Sea of Japan. But it seems that you still don't know much about the Devil's Triangle in the South China Sea. Could you please reconfirm the flight route? Staff Officer Zhao insisted.

"Staff Officer Zhao, your concerns are very important and reasonable." Steward Li and Captain Li exchanged glances, and Steward Li said, "However, this is a decision that has been confirmed by the family and Interpol. Now that the route has suddenly been changed, it is too late to prepare for all aspects. ”

Staff Officer Zhao frowned, thought for a while, sighed, and said, "In that case, Captain Li, you need to endorse the flight route plan at the flight command center." ”

Seeing Captain Li nodding, he continued: "Everyone, let me introduce the basic situation of the South China Sea. Hope it helps. The South China Sea is located between China's southeastern coastline, the Indochina Peninsula, the Philippine Islands, Kalimantan and Sumatra.

I would like you to mark the three corners of the 'South Sea Devil's Triangle' on the flight map. The apex of the western corner is Hong Kong, the east is Taiwan, and the south is the Philippine island of Luzon. It is connected to the East China Sea by the Taiwan Strait in the northeast, the Pacific Ocean by the Bass Strait in the east, and the Indian Ocean and the Andaman Sea by the Strait of Malacca in the south.

It has a total area of 3.5 million square kilometers, with a maximum depth of 5,559 meters and an average depth of 1,212 meters. After a pause, he added, "That's not clear." Okay, I'll wait a while and let the command center of the tower give you a map. ”

"Excellent! Thank you! Captain Li thanked him while recording, "In particular, the depth of the seabed and the area and orientation of the danger zone are very useful. ”

"Hey! You're welcome. According to this scheduled flight plan, we will first escort you to the East China Sea, and after you enter the high seas, you will be escorted by Interpol. After you return to the South China Sea, we will again take over the escort mission up to the waters of Malacca. ”

"Thank you!" The two Li family replied together.

"You flew out of the East China Sea, and it only took about 25 minutes on the high seas." Staff Officer Zhao said.

"We need to coordinate altitude and speed with the air replenishment fleet. Therefore, time is not calculated in terms of cruising speed. Captain Li said.

"So how long do you estimate the flight time on the high seas? We will meet you in time for the South China Sea. Staff Officer Zhao took out his notebook and quickly recorded something.

Captain Li also took out a calculator from his coat pocket and immediately calculated the flight data. About a minute later, he said, "To be precise, our fly-out point is 32.58 degrees north latitude and 127.75 degrees east longitude in the East China Sea. The incoming point of confluence in the South China Sea is 23.5 degrees north latitude and 122.47 degrees east longitude. The time is 75 minutes after the flight. ”

Staff Officer Zhao said worriedly: "The range of the straight-line contour is 927 kilometers. You are in a state of extreme danger in this area. Air supply weapons are bound to be slow and low-altitude. It may even be necessary to fly in a circle. But this is the moment when the plane's own escort is at its weakest. It's the high seas, but it's actually putting yourselves in an airspace controlled by an uncertain character. ”

"Please rest assured, sir, that our family has Interpol to provide naval and air defense during the replenishment process." Steward Li and Captain Li exchanged glances with each other. Steward Li replied: "Please also ask your chief to convey this to the top level of your country. ”

"Oh, of course this is to be reported. But can you give us a rough idea? "Staff Officer Zhao is still not at ease.

"Well, that's right." Steward Li hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with Captain Li a few times again, and then said hesitantly: "I think I can tell your country, but I hope to keep it secret." ”

Seeing that Staff Officer Zhao nodded deeply in promise, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Actually, the escort on the high seas is provided by our family itself, and Interpol is just, oh, yes, Interpol rents my family's ships and planes to escort it." In fact, it is the family escort itself. ”

"Huh?" Staff Officer Zhao was startled when he heard this, and quickly intercepted the conversation and asked, "Do you think your family has the ability to escort ships at sea and transfer supplies by sea and air?" And it's an extremely dangerous live-fire weapon! ”

Steward Li was even more nervous, and quickly explained: "Our family has converted helicopter aircraft carriers and cruisers with commercial oil tankers and 10,000-ton ocean-going freighters. Well, oh, also, there are a couple of submarines. We use helicopters to deliver weapons supplies. And, uh, a couple more, uh, are leased fighter escorts. ”

Staff Officer Zhao Shen Yun sighed for a moment and said, "But since it has been decided, take care of yourselves!" Our escort will be waiting for you to return in the agreed airspace. ”

"Good! I went to the tower command center to confirm the departure time. By the way, you will receive the flight mission book and flight plan. When Captain Li heard this, he left easily.
