Beijing time, April 18, 1999, 7:30 a.m.

Chang Haonan, who had already flown to Jiangcheng, had just gotten up, and was ready to have breakfast after washing, so he went to the workshop to continue to check the installation progress of the die forging press.

Although Yan Yongnian's ability in engineering is reassuring, he is the chief engineer of the die forging press project after all, even if he has a special situation of multiple positions, he can never be remotely commanded from beginning to end.

I have to take a look at it for both reason and reason.

However, before he could walk into the construction site canteen, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.

In 1999, the mobile phone of this meeting, caller ID was already a relatively common function, and Chang Haonan is not bad for money now, so it is naturally impossible to use the one he bought the first time, so this will be taken out, and you can immediately see that it was Ding Gaoheng calling.

The other party gets straight to the point.

There is no Chang Haonan's name tag, obviously he was invited to participate temporarily.

After all, for the two of them, or rather, for the vast majority of ordinary people in China, it was just an incident that happened thousands of kilometers away that had nothing to do with them.

This should be closely related to the process of China's support for the euro.

"Report!"

"April 18, the third day of the third lunar month."

But it is certain that the entire Allied operation, and indeed the entire timeline, has changed as his influence has gradually increased......

Chang Haonan, who was worried all the way, didn't even bother to wash his face, and immediately after getting off the plane, he immediately transferred to the special car that had been waiting at the airport in the western suburbs, and went directly to Sanzamen.

Fu Quanyou nodded and looked at the curtain on the side:

"Now there is."

Not to mention him, I am afraid that a lot of information is not even clear to the countries concerned themselves.

"Yes!"

But for Chang Haonan, it's a different story entirely.

"Hey, Director Ding?"

At most, it is to scold the Americans.

"Really?"

The kind that has to be said to your face.

"It is reported that the Falkens Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the local area, with a total height of 19 floors and a rooftop with a wide view, so it has also become a filming location and station for many front-line media to report on the scene, at the time of the explosion, five international media are reporting, and it is estimated that there are about 190 people inside the hotel, including at least 120 foreigners ......"

However, before he got to the airport, there was no need to guess-

"If you have to say it, this belongs to the other party's military secrets, so I don't know it for the time being."

On the other side of the phone, Ding Gaoheng's tone was unprecedentedly serious.

So what's going on at the Fakens Hotel?

“……”

In the face of such a group of bigwigs with two stars at the lowest, they still have to behave seriously.

Fu Youquan pointed to an empty seat opposite and said.

The projection then switches to a different screen.

Almost unconsciously, he asked:

"You should have heard about what happened in the Balkans last night, right?"

Whether B2 can be beaten down or not, in fact, even Chang Haonan himself was not sure before.

While speaking, Chang Haonan's eyes roughly swept around, and found that there seemed to be no acquaintances except Ding Gaoheng.

The news on the radio station naturally can't be very rich, and if you do the math, at 11:47 local time yesterday, that is, 5:47 Beijing time, it has only been a little more than two hours now.

Fortunately, there are name tags in front of everyone, so they won't be black-eyed.

Such a big matter cannot be discussed at the level of the Commission of Science and Technology in any case.

"The news photos are all out, can there be fakes?"

"Although the wreckage was badly burned and was blown up again, the shape of the flying wing is too obvious, and looking at this outer wing segment, as well as the rear edge of the W-shaped tail part, it is impossible to find a second model that meets these characteristics."

Speaking of which, he picked up the remote control next to him and pressed it.

"Let's go back to the situation in the Balkans, at 11:47 p.m. local time yesterday, a violent explosion occurred in a five-star hotel called Falkens, and some people familiar with the matter claimed that it was attacked by precision-guided bombs, but there is still no official statement on this incident......

……

And it's still early in the morning.

He had no map on hand and no impression of the name.

Chang Haonan replied crisply.

"Yes."

So more details, even Chang Haonan can't guess it.

All we can do now is wait......

He pressed the answer button.

On the opposite side of the curtain is a map of the city.

Perhaps bored on the road, the driver was waiting for a red light at an intersection and turned on the radio in the car.

So there is no need to ask at all.

When the door was opened, there were already several leaders in military uniforms sitting inside.

He still felt a little fluttery, not quite real.

An unclassified line, or even a mobile phone call, must not involve anything substantive.

"Yadan, what time is it today?"

"Rescuers were under the rubble and found three GBU31 satellite-guided bombs that did not explode and ......"

Although Li Yongjin, who was wearing an air force uniform next to him, had a tense face, his tone when he spoke was similar to that of the New Year, and he was obviously happy in his heart, but he was just restricted by the occasion and did not show it well:

Just hearing the news, his first reaction was-

Chang Haonan's lips moved slightly, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

The first place at the conference table was empty, and Fu Quanyou, who was sitting first on the left-hand side, raised his head and looked at the door:

"It's Comrade Chang Haonan, right?"

But expectation is expectation, reality is reality.

But it makes sense, at the moment, the bigger leaders are probably busy calling the international hotline.

Chang Haonan admitted that at that moment, his heartbeat was chaotic.

"Come and sit down."

Isn't this the right time?

But on second thought, there seems to be no surprise.

Along the way, he was naturally guessing the purpose of Ding Gaoheng calling himself back in such a hurry.

"Xiao Chang, you go back to the capital as soon as possible."

Now I finally have a sense of steadiness when the dust has settled.

He had spent so much time building a multi-point passive detection system, and he was looking forward to such a day.

After going around and around, he was eventually taken to the door of an inconspicuous office.

Chang Haonan nodded:

"There was an explosion in a hotel, but when I listened to the radio, it said there was no investigation."

"I ......"

"It's ...... What our radar discovered? ”

"The local rescue department has carried out cleaning and rescue work on the construction rubble, but so far, no survivors have been found......

Zhu Yadan looked back with some doubts:

"What's wrong, chief?"

The driver in the front row and Zhu Yadan didn't react.

A large pile of black ruins.

Chang Haonan had just gotten up, and when he heard this, he was immediately stunned, and he reacted a little before he came back to his senses:

In an instant, Chang Haonan's brain "buzzed", and it went blank in an instant.

Chang Haonan, who heard the news, was overjoyed instantly, almost jumped up from the stool, and blurted out almost without thinking:

The world today is already very different from the previous one, and it is only natural that there will be a difference in the timing of a specific event.

Five hours later.

After figuring out this layer, Chang Haonan's next thought was-

And Ding Gaoheng didn't even say that he would find a confidential line to call back, but directly asked others to go back to the capital, obviously something terrible happened.

"Moreover, it has been determined that the US military was shot down a B2 stealth bomber last night local time."

"Okay, I'll leave now, and try to get back before the afternoon."

So, he immediately found Yan Yongnian, and after arranging work, he bought two steamed buns from the canteen, and rushed to the airport with Zhu Yadan to prepare for the return trip.

Li Yongjin can't even hold back his expression now:

"However, considering the actual situation, it is basically certain that the technical equipment and tactical tactics we support are used."
