Chapter 576
Supreme Golden Eyes - Frightened into a Cold Sweat
On May 7, Ling Shaonan embarked on a flight to Moscow. In addition to the personnel sent to Russia a few days ago to liaise with the satellite launch authorities, he was also accompanied by several secretaries of the President's Office, headed by Dalia, who were responsible for
Vice President of Energy Resources Business
Wei Liangzu, Vice President Zhan Han who is responsible for foreign affairs negotiations, Vice President Lin Yuhong who was recently transferred to the director of the investment department, and their staff, as well as the first team of the Chongshan Special Forces led by Song Yunfeng are responsible for the safety of this group of people, which totals nearly a hundred people.
It can be seen from the composition of this team that Ling Shaonan came to Russia this time not just for the satellite launch, but because he had big business to discuss!
Ling Shaonan has always been generous to his own people. Since it takes about ten hours to fly from Shanghai to Moscow and there is still time difference, although he doesn't mind it, most of his entourage will be very tired, so he directly chartered a plane.
Rather than taking an ordinary flight, this will allow the attendants to have better rest conditions during the flight and not be too tired.
When Ling Shaonan and his party arrived in Moscow, the people who had been sent to the front station had rented several luxury buses and were waiting outside the airport, taking them directly to the arranged hotel. However, after everyone else had a good meal, they went their separate ways.
During the break, Ling Shaonan returned to the room and after sitting quietly for a while, he took out his personal phone and made a call.
"Hello, I am Ling Shaonan, looking for General Lin Mingyuan!"
This sentence made the breath on the other end of the phone stagnant. After a moment of silence, he respectfully replied: "Hello, Mr. Ling! General Lin is in a meeting now. I will call him right away. Please wait a moment!"
The number Lin Mingyuan left for Ling Shaonan was a confidential phone, and the person who answered the phone was one of his secretaries. Lin Mingyuan had already told the people around him that as long as Ling Shaonan came to see him, no matter what he was doing, he should report it immediately.
Sure enough, about two minutes later, Lin Mingyuan's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Ling, I am Lin Mingyuan!"
"General Lin, excuse me for interrupting you. I know you are very busy, so I won't say any nonsense. I heard that your people got some good things in Yugoslavia a few days ago?" Ling Shaonan chatted in a normal way, his voice was calm and gentle, and the phone number
Lin Mingyuan on the other end was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and almost threw away the phone!
"How do you know?" Lin Mingyuan's voice trembled uncontrollably. Could he not be surprised? More than a month ago, Yugoslavia shot down an American F-117 stealth fighter. After getting the news, the Chinese military
Immediately contact the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia through the government, hoping to obtain some equipment and wreckage for research.
After a month of secret contact, the two parties finally reached an agreement a few days ago (that is, on May 1st, Lin Mingyuan received a report from his secretary when he returned to the hotel after meeting Ling Shaonan. It was this major event that
Let him rush back to the capital in a hurry), the Yugoslav government secretly handed over the F-117's navigation equipment, the skin debris with invisible coating, and the high-temperature resistant parts of the engine nozzle to China, and placed them in the Chinese Yugoslavia Station.
The basement of the embassy is used for research by military experts.
This matter is extremely confidential in both China and Yugoslavia. Only the highest levels of the government and military in China know about this matter. Except for the experts who are conducting emergency research in Yugoslavia, there are less than ten people! But now even Ling Shaonan and the others know about it.
People who have nothing to do with it actually know about this matter. What does this mean? It means that their so-called strict confidentiality measures are simply a joke!
Sure enough, Ling Shaonan's next answer confirmed Lin Mingyuan's worries: "Oh, I learned about it from the CIA. The navigation equipment of the F-117 is equipped with a confidential self-destruct device, but this F-117 self-destructed after crashing
The device happened to malfunction, but the Americans had a backup plan. The built-in navigation system
The conventional power supply was still working and continuously sending out its positioning information, so the Americans found the precise location of the F-117 wreckage in a very short time. Although your military experts quickly discovered this and
The power was quickly cut off, but it was too late and the Americans learned of the situation."
Ling Shaonan did not lie. Although he had long known that the United States bombed the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia in "history", he was not sure whether it would happen again. Therefore, he has been paying close attention to it these days and sneaked into the United States several times.
CIA's computer system and eventually obtained accurate intelligence.
As for why he didn't call Lin Mingyuan until he arrived in Moscow instead of saying it right after he got the news, it was because if he had spoken at that time, Lin Mingyuan would have probably gone directly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to look for him, and the Americans would inevitably find some clues afterwards. Now.
It was different. Not only was the distance too far and there was too little time, but Lin Mingyuan had to deal with it with all his strength, and there was no time to find him, so that he could remove himself from this matter.
"CIA?" Lin Mingyuan wisely did not ask how Ling Shaonan entered the CIA system, but asked a more critical question: "Mr. Ling, do you know what the Americans are going to do?"
"Of course! This is the purpose of my call to you. The Americans are preparing to use precision-guided bombs to bomb the Chinese Embassy in South Africa. Firstly, they will destroy the wreckage you obtained and preserve the technical secrets of the F-117. Secondly, they will express their support for our country's international role."
They were dissatisfied with supporting the Yugoslav government, and the excuses they gave afterward were no more than
It's easy to find, there are a lot of reasons why it was accidentally bombed, or an expired map was used. By the way, this operation was jointly planned by the US government and the CIA, and the time is set for midnight local time today.
, Well, counting the time, the bombers carrying out this mission have probably already taken off from the United States!"
Indeed, there is a five time zone difference between Moscow and the capital of China. It is now around 6pm in Moscow time, and it is already around 11pm in Beijing. The time when the Chinese Embassy in South Korea was bombed is 5:45am tomorrow morning, and there are six more
About an hour. Counting the time, the American B-2 bomber is already on the runway even before it takes off.
"Thank you, Mr. Ling, for reminding me. Regardless of whether this will really happen or not, I would like to express my solemn gratitude to you on behalf of the military!" On the other end of the phone, Lin Mingyuan took a deep breath and suppressed the wave of emotions.
He said in a solemn tone. But it could be heard from his words that he did not quite believe that the Americans really dared to risk the world's disapproval to bomb the embassy protected by international law.
However, Ling Shaonan didn't care about this. There is a saying that "it's better to believe something than to believe something else." No matter whether Lin Mingyuan really believed it or not, he couldn't risk letting those military experts and the wreckage of the F-117 continue to stay in the garrison.
In the basement of the South Embassy, and that's enough.
"General Lin, you're welcome. I am a Chinese. I naturally hope that my motherland will become stronger and stronger, so that businessmen like us can straighten our backs when we go abroad, instead of relying on other people's eyes. Okay, General Lin.
I’m busy with personnel, so I won’t bother you any more. Goodbye!”
After finishing what needed to be said, Ling Shaonan hung up the phone neatly. Lin Mingyuan, who had left the other end of the phone, was stunned for a moment, looking at the phone and wondering whether to laugh or cry. Then he looked solemn and hurriedly called several heads of the Military Commission to discuss it.
As Ling Shaonan guessed, no matter Lin Mingyuan believed it or not, it was impossible to ignore his words. This was a major matter related to the lives of a group of precious military experts and the safety of the wreckage, and should not be taken lightly.
On this side, after hanging up the phone, Ling Shaonan poured himself a glass of red wine, came to the window and looked at the deep night sky, slightly lost in thought. There was only so much he could do on this matter.
In fact, as early as early March, Ling Shaonan gave Chen Qingxia an order to mobilize the second team and third team of the Lieyan Special Forces, headed by Chen Xie and usually active in Vienna, Austria, to enter the Yugoslav Federation. However, they did not participate in the conflict.
Instead, they came to the crash site of the F-117 in advance.
The site of the crash - the village of Buganovoci, 40 kilometers west of Belgrade - waited nearby and rushed to the scene as soon as possible after the F-117 crashed, removing the engine's high-temperature turbine, combustion chamber and tail nozzle from the wreckage.
parts, as well as some electronic equipment that have not been completely damaged.
Since the Yugoslav government troops had not arrived at the scene at that time, Chen Xie and others acted very cleanly and carefully handled the remains of the removed parts. In order not to make any noise and alert others, they did not even take a car and walked back and forth.
, so no one discovered this.
Among the things obtained, Ling Shaonan's electronic equipment was useless and was ready to be handed over to the military. Although those things were badly damaged, a lot of things could still be studied. However, Ling Shaonan's high-temperature turbine, combustion chamber and tail nozzle
I don't plan to hand them over - they are the pinnacle products of metallurgical technology. Ling Shaonan will hand them over to Taiwu Steel Company to analyze and study their composition and manufacturing process. Ling Shaonan has very high expectations for Taiwu Steel Company and will not
Let go of any opportunity to enhance its technical strength.
After obtaining these things, Chen Xie and others quickly left under the cover of night. However, due to the extremely tight blockade imposed by the Americans, they are still staying in Yugoslavia, and it is estimated that it will take some time before they can find an opportunity to transport the things out.
Because of this, Ling Shaonan did not mention this matter when he met Lin Mingyuan last time. Unexpectedly, things happened as "in history". However, with Ling Shaonan's reminder, the original tragedy will definitely not happen again.
Right? Six hours is enough time to do a lot.
