――――――

Inside the Oval Office of the White House.

Hagel, who came in a hurry, pushed open the office door without grace, and under Obama's puzzled look, he hurriedly said: "There is a group of unknown militants who have abducted hundreds of foreign tourists in the Empire State Building in New York, and the current specific situation is extremely unstable. ”

Before Obama could speak, a staff member of the president's office also hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Excellency, the militants of the Empire State Building in New York, who have advanced individual anti-aircraft missiles, shot down four helicopters that the military went to rescue 30 seconds ago, and even the three helicopters of the New York police did not escape, and they also fired anti-tank missiles at the armed vehicles on the ground, and in just one minute, a large number of military and police officers have been killed and injured, and the current situation is about to get out of control." ”

"What!" The exclamation came from Hagel's mouth, and Obama in the office chair was no better than him.

"An emergency meeting of the staff was immediately called. Now, it is important to prevent further escalation. After trying to calm himself down, Obama immediately ordered: "Report to me immediately if there is any situation in New York, and at the same time prepare a helicopter, I will go to New York." A staff meeting, held on the road. ”

Five minutes later, the presidential plane took off from the White House and headed for New York.

Inside the plane, more than a dozen staff members had already learned the ins and outs of the matter and were whispering to each other. On the side, Obama and Hagel were also communicating in a whisper.

"What's going on with the intelligence services lately. Weishenme has not received any news about such a big thing before. Falsely state so much money every year. Throwing yourself into an intelligence organization, is it adding poop to their heads? At this time, Obama was very angry. During his tenure, how can he be at peace when such an accident occurs? Moreover, this matter involves a large number of foreign tourists, and it is not a simple matter, and it can escalate into a diplomatic incident at any time.

"Now is not the time to investigate, the other party's intentions are very obvious, not to take hostages and negotiate with us at all, but to blindly sabotage, so that the people are in a state of panic. This is already a terrorist attack. Need to be elevated. Hagel said.

"Then tell me what other terrorist organization can cause such a terrorist incident only after bin Laden's death. I'm afraid that even the base doesn't have the strength to transport so many weapons to the Empire State Building! The country's security services really need to be rectified. The anger in Obama's eyes burned again.

"None of the terrorist organizations that are currently in the climate have such strength. I doubt that there is a state behind this. Otherwise, who has the ability to put heavy weapons on the Empire State Building. But. This is all we have to think about later, and now it is up to us to decide how we should deal with those terrorists. Attack directly, or what to do? Hagel said.

"Let me think about it." Obama has been weighing the pros and cons all the time. He needs to think about how to minimize the impact.

Today, however, it seems that he did not want to calm him down, just as Obama began to weigh it in his heart. The secretary walked over with a shocked face and reported in a low voice: "Just now, four or five airlines reported to the Air Defense Command at the same time. Ten airliners were hijacked, three of which were Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Each one had more than three hundred passengers on board. The rest of the models, all 747, are also full of passengers. And the time happened just two minutes ago, and the hijacking time was exactly the same, at the same time. And eight of these ten airliners are on our heads. ”

"What?" Obama exclaimed, and everyone in the helicopter was startled.

"Now the Northern Air Defense Command, please instruct, whether to shoot down the airliner."

Today is definitely Obama's most headache day, I don't know how many times he has struggled with ideas, when he saw that everyone was holding their breath, waiting for his answer, he said: "According to the plan formulated, there is no need to ask for instructions." ”

After finishing speaking, he leaned helplessly on the soft leather seat, looking at the rich land outside the cabin, and his heart was full of thoughts.

――――――

Half past eight, for many people, is just the beginning of a new day. But for some people, this time is completely different in today's day.

Especially for terrorists and spies on special missions, half past eight means the arrival of the sacred moment. It's time for action, and it's time for them to come to the end of their lives. Launching a terrorist attack on the United States would make it difficult for Li Lan to rescue them, even if he tried all his means. And even if it can be rescued, the gains outweigh the losses. Sometimes sacrifice is inevitable.

Cockburn was an elite spy who took control of the plane as it approached half-past eight and with the help of the spy's disguised co-pilot. The plane did not change course, but continued to fly towards its destination, Washington.

At this time, it was not far from Washington, and at half past eight, Cockburn turned on the ground intercom and bluntly told the other party that the plane had been hijacked.

"We will not harm the passengers, we will still fly according to the established route, and we will land smoothly at the Washington airport, and then use the whole plane as hostages to negotiate with you."

With that, he turned off all communication and answering devices.

At the same time, the North American Air Defense Command is a big alarm bell, and the ground control center is already busy in accordance with the emergency response plan. The F-15 fighter jet, which was flying on alert, was urgently contacted and went to intercept it. At the same time, according to the data given by the ground-based radar, the North American Department of Air Defense locked down those aircraft that had not responded many times among the hundreds of aircraft in the air through a question-and-answer mechanism. Then their altitude and coordinates are transmitted to the fighters in the air.

The anti-aircraft missile units on the ground have also begun to enter a state of high alert, and once the fighters are unable to intercept the passenger plane in time, and the fighters make dangerous moves such as diving and rolling, they will shoot them down. to prevent even greater damage.

After all, the lessons of 911 are still vivid in my mind. With the authority of the highest laws of the United States and Congress, NORAD has such authority in order to prevent further expansion of the disaster. Even if it is to personally bury the lives of civilians for this, it will not hesitate.

However, this time it was not a simple hijacking incident, a whole ten passenger planes were hijacked, and they all happened at the same time, so premeditated, in the face of ten extremely dangerous passenger planes, the Northern Air Defense Command did not dare to make decisions easily, after all, it involved the lives of more than 2,000 people, and it was not a joke.

Therefore, I consulted the president, and after receiving a clear answer, NORAD already had indicators to deal with the matter. Soon, squadrons of F-15 and F-16 fighters at several airports began to urgently take to the air to cooperate with the patrolling fighters to intercept the ten passenger planes.

Andrew, who was on a normal patrol mission outside Washington, also received an order from the North American Air Defense Command.

"It's finally here." Andrew did not hesitate and began to adjust the direction of flight according to the coordinates and altitude given by the North American Air Defense Command.

Five minutes later, Andrew was piloting the F-15 and had seen the Boeing 787 Dreamliner that had descended to about three thousand meters. In accordance with the routine interception manual, he began to swing the fighter around the cockpit of the airliner, adjusting the direction of the airliner.

At the same time, another F-15 came over, and the two fighters flew on both sides of the passenger plane with a tacit understanding.

Ahead, Washington was already reeling from it, however, behind them, two other hijacked 747 airliners were less than a kilometer away from them.

It was a strange scene, three hijacked airliners, lined up, and at the same time, seven or eight warplanes were flying. At this time, the altitude of these planes has been reduced to two thousand meters, and the altitude is still slowly decreasing. This seemed to be a reasonable reduction in altitude to land, but only a few dozen people in the entire flight team knew that it was almost over.

Arlington District, southwest of Washington, D.C., on the banks of the Potomac River, is a beautiful and riverside area that attracts many tourists every day. On both sides of the river, there are a large number of stone benches and tables for visitors to rest. Every morning, many people come here to play chess and listen to songs.

Today, as always, at eight o'clock, many people have begun to come here to play, and the peak flow of people during work hours is about to end, and next to this is the US Department of Defense, the famous Pentagon. On the wide highway, there is not much traffic.

And in a number of areas close to the Pentagon, it has always been a military exclusion zone. At this time, the anti-aircraft missiles inside these military restricted zones have been erected. The radar was turned on, and it was already aimed at the three hijacked airliners that were approaching Washington.

Not only around the Pentagon, but also in more than a dozen Patriot missile battalion bases in Washington, D.C., are already on high alert, and as soon as an order is given, the missiles will be launched immediately.

However, when everyone's eyes were focused on the sky, more than a dozen trucks that were originally parked in the garage started at the same time. And in these garages, each garage has two identical trucks, one is a normal truck, and the other one, which is now being driven out, is naturally a high imitation of the appearance of a normal truck. The trucks quickly pulled into the boulevard and were heading for a target.

These trucks, which look no different from normal van trucks, are actually self-detonating trucks with certain protection capabilities, and the drivers inside are all terrorists, and their usual jobs are truck drivers, and in their garage, there are actually two trucks, one is usually used to pull goods, and the other is used to carry out tasks.

This morning, they had already changed their license plates and went out in their self-exposing truck. (To be continued......)
