It took about five minutes after losing contact with Air Force One that US Vice President Stokes stood up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is not certain that the "Air Force One" has crashed for the time being, in the last news received, the captain has mentioned that the plane's control system has completely failed and entered a stall state.

Obviously, unless a miracle happens, the "Air Force One" will be more than lucky.

It's just that no one can jump to conclusions until they get a definite result.

About an hour later, four F-22As arrived at the wrecked sea area of Air Force One. At this time, the "Air Force One" had sunk into the sea, and there were only some wreckage of the plane and the remains of some passengers on the surface. To make sure nothing went wrong, four fighters turned on their radars and repeatedly searched the nearby airspace. Subsequently, the US Air Force also contacted the aviation control center in Papua New Guinea.

The result was unmistakable, "Air Force One" crashed.

Before Stokes could come to his senses, a U.S. Air Force commissioner rushed over.

Now, "Air Force Two" has been officially upgraded to "Air Force One". Although Stokes is not yet president and will not be officially inaugurated until he is sworn in outside the Capitol, he is already the supreme leader of the United States and has begun to perform the presidency as vice president.

"The joint staff meeting will be held in half an hour." Stokes is under a lot of pressure, but he knows what's important.

"Do you need to get cabinet officials involved?"

"Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, National Security Adviser......"

"The security adviser is on Air Force One."

Stokes was stunned for a moment and said, "Just let the officials related to the military operation participate, and the others don't need to be invited for the time being." ”

"Is there any other arrangement?"

"I'll look for you if you need it."

The female officer nodded, turned and left Stokes' room.

Just two hours ago, Stokes could never have dreamed that something like this would happen. It can be said that he was not at all ready to take over the flag. It's just that he has to stand up, because the current United States needs a strong leader, and even more so, a strong commander-in-chief.

With a little relief, Stokes called the secretary of state.

Before he could think about how to avenge Scott, he had to do one thing, and that was to announce to the public that the president had been killed in a plane crash on his way to Australia.

This is a very special press release, and the wording must be taken care of.

Of course, in just over twenty minutes, you can't write a good press release.

After the female officer came in to report that the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were on the phone and that the conference call was ready to start, Stokes asked the secretary of state to continue drafting the press release.

The conference call was attended by the chiefs of staff of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, as well as Cabinet officials such as the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, as well as the heads of intelligence agencies such as the F.B.I., CIA and NSA.

"It has been confirmed that just over an hour ago, the president's 'Air Force One' crashed about 100 kilometers north of the island of New Guinea, and no survivors have been found for the time being." The first to introduce the situation was the chief of staff of the Air Force, "Judging from the radar photos sent back by the escort fighters, the speed of the plane when it crashed was very fast, and the wreckage was scattered in a large area, so the chances of survival of the people on board were very slim." ”

"That is, there is a good chance that the president will ......"

"It's not certain at this time, and we can't jump to conclusions until the search and rescue and salvage work is complete."

Stokes let out a long breath and said, "So, did the two robbers who attacked Air Force One have already parachuted out when the plane crashed?" ”

"Maybe the surname shouldn't be big." The director of the FBI spoke.

"Why?"

"In the last video we received before Air Force One crashed, the Secret Service agents were still outside the room, and the robbers did not come out. With the situation at that time, it was simply impossible for them to rush out. ”

"That is, they have already crashed with the 'Air Force One'?"

"The same cannot be said. Judging from the intelligence we have, it was indeed Liu Wei who attacked 'Air Force One', and the things he said are very credible. ”

Stokes' brow jumped a few times for the FBI director to continue.

"Shortly after they came to the United States, the first batch of F-22J fighter jets we sold to Zoben crashed over the eastern Pacific, and so far we have only found eleven fighters, and one is still missing. At that time, he was not in Las Vegas, but a few days later, in Los Angeles. According to records in the hotel, Harris went to look for him after he checked in. ”

"That is, he did steal an F-22J fighter?"

"It's probably very big, we've already sent people to Mexico, and we'll have results in a day. If he wasn't lying, then we could find traces of the F-22J on the island. It's just that it is obviously unrealistic to trace the whereabouts of the F-22J now. Regardless of whether he is in the service of a certain country or not, there are certainly many countries on the international black market that are willing to spend huge sums of money on a relatively intact F-22J. ”

"How does this affect us?" The Chief of Staff of the Air Force asked.

"If that fighter falls into the hands of a certain big country, especially a big country with a certain basic aviation strength, the consequences will be very serious."

The head of the Air Force staff's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he probably understood what the director of the FBI meant.

Stokes didn't quite understand it yet, so he asked the FBI director to continue.

"Although we had some reservations when selling the F-22J, such as using the first-generation F119 engine, and the radar and other fire control equipment were also adjusted, and the original version was not sold to the F-22J, the F-22J's fuselage and other secondary systems are no different from our fighters."

"In other words, as long as you master the basic surname of the F-22J, you can roughly understand the surname of the F-22A."

As soon as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force said this, Stokes understood.

This is just one of them, if Liu Wei did not lie, then the F-135-800 engine that was lost in Yuben must have gone into the hands of some big country. Although this engine is used on the F-35B, it is more advanced than the Type 100 and Type 400 engines used in the F-35A and F-35C, with the same core engine and a lift fan. A country with an aviation power industry base can produce engines that can be imitated in a short period of time. ”

"What does this mean?" Stokes asked.

"For almost all great powers, in the field of fighter aircraft, the biggest obstacle is the engine. As long as the engine problems are solved, an advanced fighter with a surname no less than the F-22A can be developed. The director of the FBI paused slightly, "We already know that just last year, Continental announced that it would make the J-20 mass production within five years, and according to the information previously obtained, Continental's aviation power technology is not advanced, and when it first flitted, the J-20 still used the AL-31 engine, and Continental has been negotiating with Russia, hoping to buy 117S engines." Shortly after the theft of the F-135-800, the mainland voluntarily terminated negotiations with Russia, or rather, became less zealous. Subsequently, the Russian authorities made concessions in the negotiations, not only promising to sell some key technologies to the mainland, but also hoping to import some military equipment from the mainland. Judging from this, it is very likely that the engine and the F-22J that disappeared later were in the hands of the mainland. ”

"So, Liu Wei is serving the mainland?"

"We don't have proof, and we can't confirm it. In addition, if our judgment is not wrong, Liu Wei's contribution to the Russian-Russian conflict that has just occurred is not small. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Judging by the speed of Russia's military response, the Russian army must have been prepared before the conflict broke out. In other words, Russia received the news in advance that it was planning to use force. During our investigation, we found that not long before that, Liu Wei had direct contact with a Russian spy agent. ”

"You mean, Liu Wei sold intelligence to Russia?"

"To be precise, it should be an exchange. According to the clues we have, Liu Wei provided Russia with all the information related to the book, and the Russian intelligence department helped Liu Wei deal with his assets in the United States, listed the bookmakers under his name, and then helped him launder the money. ”

"So, Liu Wei is just an intelligence broker?"

"Maybe, but we still don't have evidence of that."

Stokes sighed and said, "Okay, this issue doesn't need to be discussed for the time being, and when the FBI finds out, we will naturally know what he does." Now, we need to figure out the implications of this and what we should do to make up for the damage we have suffered. ”

"The key is to find out whether there is any country behind Liu Wei."

"It's not important, it's important that we know what to do, or how to make the president's sacrifice more meaningful."

"This is definitely not a personal act, and the president cannot be sacrificed for nothing."

"Even so, what else can we do?"

"It's an opportunity and we have to take advantage of it."

…… Seeing the participants talking about each other, Stokes' head was big.

Obviously, these people are not concerned about the life or death of the president, but how to use this matter to achieve their own interests or those of a certain group.

The question is, to put it another way, Stokes isn't taking advantage of the incident.

It can be said that no one was a victim except for Scott, who was killed.

In the face of the big picture, Stokes' personal influence appears to be minimal. In any case, he is a standby, and he does not have much influence in itself. If it weren't for Scott's death, he wouldn't have had much chance in the next four years, let alone be in charge of the country.

So, how do you make the most of this?
