Chapter XVII: The KGB Meeting

In fact, in this world, there are many things that Long Yun doesn't know.

That night, a secret meeting was taking place in the KGB branch in Minsk, an inconspicuous office building, about the mysterious events that had previously taken place on the Baltic coast.

In the small office, several people sit scattered around the oval conference table. Unlike the cloudy bureaucratic meetings, small discussions are taking place here, and the moderators ask everyone to report only on what is specific and valuable. At this time, he was questioning the department head next to him who was in charge of the investigation.

"How is the situation with Captain Rezenov."

"A report has already been sent from the Warsaw side. The recording is in the computer, but there isn't much new. The expressionless head of the investigation department held the printed stack of materials in his hand. At present, we can almost determine that Rezenov has temporarily fallen into a state of partial amnesia after experiencing this incident. ”

"So, has there been any progress on the crash of Plane 14?"

"Not yet. The on-site investigation report pointed out that the pilot of the aircraft may have been unconscious in the air, and then the aircraft flew under the influence of the autopilot until it malfunctioned and crashed at the crash site. Since the fire broke out after the crash of the No. 14 fighter plane, the body of the pilot has been burned completely, and the cause of the crash of the fighter plane cannot be investigated. The survey found no signs of the aircraft being hit by weapons; The tachograph data is consistent with the report's speculation, although the record is not complete. ”

No one continued to speak, and the scene fell silent for a while.

The commissioner of the State Secret Intelligence Group, who presided over the meeting, flipped through the materials in his hand a little absentmindedly.

These materials do not say much: an invasion of an unknown aircraft, interception by sorties of the Territorial Defense Forces and the Air Force of the Front Line, and then the loss of one MiG-29, another wounded returned to the base, and the pilot partially lost his memory.

The whole thing seems quite normal; But logically, it's a different story.

The report sent by the Territorial Defense Force recorded that at about 4 p.m. on 19 March, the automatic interception system of the Baltic Sea air defense zone received a warning signal, and the long-range warning radar of the "Pechora River" located on the western border detected a flying object approaching from the southwest and was about to appear over the Baltic Sea, possibly invading the Polish border.

The Soviet Union's automatic interceptor guidance system was fully automatic, and at the same time as the command center received the report, the interceptor unit located in the territory of the Belarusian Republic was also alerted to the incursion of enemy aircraft.

In the western regions of the Soviet Union, where the alert level was high, the presence of an alert meant an interception, and two Su-15TM interceptors of the 17th Aviation Regiment of the Territorial Defense Forces immediately rose into the air to the target area.

At about the same time, the 309th Aviation Fighter Regiment stationed in eastern Poland also received an order from the command center that the 309th Regiment dispatched fighters to participate in the interception because the target was fast and was coming directly to the coastline, and it was necessary to intercept the local aircraft outside the territorial sea line. Four MiG-29s were immediately dispatched and advanced to the northwest to meet the enemy.

So far, so normal; However, not long after the two groups of fighters struck one after another, the echoes reflected by the enemy planes on the radar suddenly became blurred, and then mysteriously disappeared.

Not only that, but the Su-15TM of the Territorial Defense Force, which was originally intercepted according to the signals of the ground guidance station, also lost tracking the target when it flew to a distance of about 50 kilometers from the target.

Although the guidance information indicated that they should have encountered the target at this time, the driver of the Su-15 did not notice any suspicious signs, either on the radar or in the naked eye.

But at this time, the 309th Regiment reported to the command center that the fighter planes they sent had encountered the target, but they were unable to effectively intercept it due to strict electronic interference......

Then the messages were all gone.

After forty minutes of miscarriage, the Su-15 twin aircraft of the Territorial Defense Force returned in vain, but fortunately they finally returned to the base along the way. In contrast, they were quite lucky: a group of MiG-309 twins of the 29 fighter regiment encountered an unknowable event, and then only one amnesiac pilot barely returned to base.

This qiē is so weird, isn't it?

Of course, unlike some departments, the KGB had no particular interest in the bizarre events that took place in this vast land, no matter how incredible the record might be.

Maybe there will be some kind of department responsible for investigating these things; Maybe not. But one way or another, the KGB's duty is not here.

Now, however, considering that the invading NATO aircraft would disappear from the screen of a long-range radar, while dodging one wave of interceptors, damaging another, and finally disappearing into the dim night sky, this is a major matter of national security, and a clear investigation must be made.

If this is a sign that NATO has some new weapons -- for example, a new type of fighter plane that can evade detection by alert radars, it at least indicates that there is a huge gap in the work of its intelligence agencies in Europe and North America, which the KGB, as the ultimate line of defense for national security, cannot tolerate in the slightest.

But...... Although I don't want to admit it, the current investigation has reached a dead end.

In the past few days, scattered intelligence from Europe has indeed confirmed that warplanes took off from a Danish air base that afternoon and headed due west, which also confirms that the report submitted by the Territorial Defense Force is not false. But now there are no other targets for the investigation except for an amnesiac pilot, which is very difficult.

After all, this Captain Rezenov, as a pilot, was able to fly the damaged MiGs back to the base, which shows that he is very capable, and there are not many reasons to doubt him. Although the KGB often questioned its own air force officers for the sake of its work, it was not its own work style to rashly interrogate its own air force officers.

Wait a minute. This Rezenov...... The name is a bit familiar. Who is he?

Oh, the agent knocked on his own head. He remembered that the Air Force lieutenant who had previously given up his senior position in the Air Force in Moscow and went to serve in the fighter aviation regiment at the front? He didn't seem to be a captain. It didn't matter, though, and the agent vaguely remembered that the name seemed to be mentioned in one of the files he had handled.

Maybe they're the same person?

If so, there may be some connection between this event and the previous records.

At this sensitive time, the strength of the Soviet Union is not as strong as before, and whether its own motherland can withstand the pressure from the West, perhaps the events for which it is responsible are also crucial.

Thinking of this, the detective settled down. He felt that such associations would not help solve the current situation, and it was better to start with the lieutenant to understand the situation slowly. This requires the doctor's cooperation and follow-up to see if he can recall something.

After all, that's the only place to start.
