Chapter 134: Vanishing (I)
After receiving the news, Zhang Xiaogang immediately returned to the office to participate in a video conference call.
The Russian army dispatched all sixteen Tu-160 bombers, indicating that Sergeyev had lost patience and was preparing to attack Diego Garcia. Although Zhang Xiaogang believes that the Russian army's move is to find out the situation on Amsterdam Island, that is, the bombers are carrying photographic reconnaissance equipment, but only in this case, there is no need to dispatch 16 bombers, and it is enough to send four. Did the other bombers also carry reconnaissance equipment?
Combined with the information received earlier, no one dared to deny that Sergeyev would take a risk.
Before the catastrophe, the Alpha special forces of the Russian army, as well as an airborne division, had been secretly assembled, and then the Russian army fully participated in the disaster relief work. In other words, no one knows the whereabouts of these two troops, and they can't even figure out the movement and deployment of Russian transport planes.
As long as Sergeyev makes up his mind, the airborne forces of the Russian army will arrive within eight hours.
According to Yang Fanglie's speculation, the Russian army will first bomb Diego Garcia to destroy the US air defense system, then use special forces to seize the airport, and then launch a ground attack by the airborne troops. Because Diego Garcia's U.S. military is dominated by base personnel, there are not many combat troops, there is a serious lack of heavy equipment, and there is no U.S. fleet nearby, it only takes twelve hours for the Russian army to capture Diego Garcia.
The point is whether Sergeyev has made up his mind or not.
Before the meeting ended, Yang Fanglie received the latest news. The electromagnetic interference near Amsterdam Island has disappeared, but the Doomsday Force and the team of scientists have not been contacted, and the US AWACS and reconnaissance planes are flying to Amsterdam Island, and Stark has convened an emergency meeting.
Zhang Xiaogang immediately left the office and went to the command center.
"Zhang ......"
Stopped by Jankovic, Zhang Xiaogang stopped.
"The Y object is gone."
"What?" Zhang Xiaogang's brows jumped a few times. Yuan Dezhi has already redeployed the reconnaissance satellite, but it will take more than 10 minutes to receive the first photos.
Jankovic handed Zhang Xiaogang a few folded photos. "This was taken by our reconnaissance satellite five minutes ago, the Y object has disappeared, the island has obviously been bombed, there are still the wreckage of two planes near the sinkhole, the airport has also been damaged, and no transport plane was found in which the team of scientists was traveling."
Zhang Xiaogang quickly browsed it, and Jankovic was right, there must have been bombing near the sinkhole.
"Say, what's going on?"
"I don't know what to do." Zhang Xiaogang let out a long sigh and said, "Have you contacted the Doomsday Army?" ”
Jankovic shook his head and said, "Not only did the Doomsday Force not be contacted, but the team of scientists also did not know where to go, I'm afraid that only the Yankees knew what was going on Daodao Island." ”
"!" Zhang Xiaogang noticed that the sinkhole was still there, but it had become bottomless.
Could it be that the Doomsday Army was completely wiped out, and Chu Tianjiang was also dead? Zhang Xiaogang couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
"Anyway, the Yankees have to give an explanation." Jankovich paused a little and said, "It's just that General Sergeyev came forward, and Stark will definitely not confess." ”
"You want me to tell General Yang Fanglie?"
Yang Kević nodded and said, "General Yang Fanglie is willing to come forward, and Stark will not dare not take us seriously." ”
What is the use of Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev coming out at the same time to put pressure on Stark? Zhang Xiaogang immediately thought of it. The Y object suddenly disappeared, and Stark could explain what happened with an "uncertainty factor". Even if there is a wreckage of an aircraft on the island, it has been temporarily proved to be a US military plane. Even if it can be proved that it was a U.S. plane, Stark would have other explanations, such as that they were two reconnaissance planes.
To put it bluntly, no one knows about the Y object, so it is not clear whether what happened on the island is related to the Y object.
Could it be that Jankovich thinks that the sudden disappearance of the Y object has something to do with the United States? Zhang Xiaogang was taken aback and immediately confirmed this guess. To be precise, Sergeyev thought that the Yankees had "stole" the Y object, and Jankovich was just here to test Zhang Xiaogang's position.
If this is the case, Sergeyev will immediately give the order to attack Diego Garcia.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaogang knew what to do. "Jankovic, I'm going to tell General Yang Fanglie the news now, but I can't make any guarantees."
"That's enough, at least General Yang has to know what happened on Dao Island."
Zhang Xiaogang didn't say much wordy and immediately returned to the office.
It's just that Yang Fanglie was attending the meeting of the chief of the general staff, and Zhang Xiaogang only contacted Yuan Dezhi.
"Is the information provided by Jankovic credible?"
"There should be no problem, if it's false intelligence, what's in it for Russia? Once the interference is gone, we will soon be able to figure out what is going on on the island, and if Jankovic is providing false information, it will only be counterproductive. Sergeyev apparently suspected that the Yankees had stolen the Y object and intended to attack Diego Garcia. Even if you don't want us to send troops, you still need the support of President Yang. ”
Yuan Dezhi nodded and said, "That's true, in a few minutes, you can prove the authenticity of this information." ”
"Now, the first thing to figure out is where the Y object is."
"You also suspect that the Yankees stole the Y object?"
"If that's the case, we should be glad that so."
Yuan Dezhi frowned, looking a little incomprehensible.
"The Y celestial body is a simple energy body, and the professor has long proposed that our technical means, let alone stealing the Y celestial body, even if the Y celestial body is moved, it cannot be done. If the Yankees have the ability to steal the Y celestial body, they must know enough about the Y celestial body to master the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilization in a short period of time. For our country, this is probably the worst outcome, but for the entire human civilization, it may be the best outcome. Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Don't forget, the professor also said that the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations will not end here. ”
"So, the Y object wasn't stolen by the Yankees?"
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "It's only been a few hours, if the Yankees had the ability to steal the Y celestial body, I'm afraid there would be no such catastrophe." I'm not underestimating America's scientific prowess, but I'm just taking it as it is. In addition, if the Y object was indeed stolen by the Yankees, and the previous electromagnetic interference was related to the United States, then the Yankees should definitely not stop the interference at this time. ”
Yuan Dezhi knew that Zhang Xiaogang was indeed reasonable.
As long as the electromagnetic interference does not disappear and no one knows what is happening on the island, the Yankees can calmly transport the stolen Y celestial body back to China. Even the quickest way to transport a Y object, such as towing it with a transport machine, takes a day.
"Stark's announcement at this time indicates that the situation is beyond the control of the U.S. military."
"That is, the Y object did disappear, and it has nothing to do with the Yankees, at least to be sure, it was definitely not the Yankees who stole the Y object."
Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "If you can, let Liu Zhanbo set off immediately." ”
"This ......"
"Although the chances of Chu Tianjiang surviving are very slim, we have to find out what happened on the island as soon as possible." Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette and said, "Tissot can send Liu Zhanbo over within four hours, and if President Yang mediates at the meeting of the chiefs of the general staff, the reconnaissance plane from Diego Garcia will arrive on Amsterdam Island in six hours, with a time difference of two hours in between." ”
"It's not difficult to send Liu Zhanbo over, the question is, how to get him back?"
"Is there any of our submarines nearby?"
"The Long March 7 is on its way to Amsterdam Island, but it won't be there until three days later."
"Where's the transporter?"
"Even if the Y-20A could fly over, there would be nowhere to land, and there wouldn't be enough fuel to return."
"Then let Liu Zhanbo bring communication equipment, hide on the island after figuring out the situation, and be picked up by the 'Long March 7' three days later."
"This ......"
"Old Yuan, the Y celestial body has disappeared, but there are traces left. Obtaining the information left by the Y celestial body gives you the opportunity to spy on the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Yuan Dezhi didn't ramble anymore.
"Also, tell Mr. Yang that you must get a two-hour time difference."
"What are you going to do?"
"Stay here."
"If Sergeyev decides to attack Diego Garcia, he will definitely not let you go."
"Don't worry, he won't deal with me." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "The Russian army's attack on Diego Garcia will inevitably lead to the disintegration of the Planetary Defense Council. If it was really the Yankees who stole the Y object and transported it to Diego Garcia to hide, Sergeyev had the chance to win, so he naturally wouldn't let me go, but this was not the case. When he finds out that he has pounced, not only will he not get anything, but he will also lead to a full-scale confrontation with the United States, and he will definitely try his best to win over our country. When the time comes, give him a god's courage, and he won't dare to do anything to me. ”
"Even so, you have to be careful. Sergeyev won't be blatantly against you, but he certainly won't miss the chance to take you out. Besides, Sergeyev may not attack you until he finds the Y object, and it is entirely possible that he will kill you in a melee. ”
"Even so, I have more than a hundred guards here."
Yuan Dezhi sighed, knowing that Zhang Xiaogang decided to stay in order to protect the scientific researchers. "Okay, I'll send a transport plane to pick you up after the incident."
"If you can, arrange for an extra transport plane."
"This ......"
"After the Russian army captures Diego Garcia, send me to the 'Long March 7'."
"Is this necessary?"
"I want to know what happened on Dao Island as soon as possible, and Chu Tianjiang may still be alive."
"He's still alive?"
"It's just my gut feeling."
Yuan Dezhi sighed again and said, "No problem, I will make arrangements." I'm going to contact Wei Longzheng now and tell Mr. Yang the news. ”
A few minutes later, the "Tissot" aerospace plane that took Liu Zhanbo to Amsterdam Island took off.
