"Otherwise, even if it relies on one side of the engine, it should still be able to fly back."

"Can a cripple fly?"

Li Mo asked in surprise.

"No, their plane can fly even if it lacks half of its wings, not to mention its engine."

"But that's not something we can control."

"Well, the people from the technical team are here, and the rest is their job."

Following the direction of Chen Yongping's finger, Li Mo saw the technicians walking in their direction.

Most of those people wore thick glasses and were frail in stature, but this group of people exuded an aura that was difficult to express in words.

It's as if there is no problem that cannot be solved in front of them.

Li Mo looked a little lost in thought. He secretly thought that he was different from them.

But then I thought about it, maybe, it’s the same?

Maybe one day, I can play a role similar to theirs, or even greater?

He glanced at the tool in his hand and suddenly felt confident again.

While the ground staff at the airport were busy "maintaining" the EC-130H, Lin Changhai had also made contact with the other party.

The consultation was conducted through a telephone conference, and both parties sent their top decision-makers to attend the meeting.

After all, an EC-130H is no small matter, and a dozen crew members is no small matter.

In the conference room, Lin Changhai listened silently to Lyon's speech opposite.

"This was a regrettable accident, but fortunately, this accident did not cause any casualties or cause any misunderstanding between us."

"So overall, I think both of us were restrained and rational in handling this accident, and the results were satisfactory."

"But at the same time, I also want to make our demands."

"First of all, we hope that you can return the aircraft and its crew members as soon as possible so that we can investigate and analyze the accident."

"Second point, we hope that you will abide by the agreement between the two parties and not try to crack confidential information, especially not to disassemble key equipment on the aircraft."

"You also know that in the last incident, due to your violent dismantling, our plane encountered a dangerous situation that was unable to land."

"We don't want this to happen again."

Hearing Leon's words, Lin Changhai had a look of disdain on his face. After a moment of pause, he replied slowly:

"We respect your opinion, but the problem is that it is indeed difficult to implement it."

"First of all, the crew members certainly won't be able to return anytime soon."

"We have a standardized investigation process, and they can only stay in our base until we complete the investigation of their purpose and background."

"But you can rest assured that they will receive the best care here. If necessary, they can even train with our pilots - running, doing exercises and so on."

"Also, regarding the issue of disassembling equipment, I think you have misunderstood."

"We have no intention of dismantling the equipment, we just"

"Uh, I just didn't put it back on."

"You have to understand that our technical staff are quite curious."

Hearing Lin Changhai's words, Leon almost thought for a moment that he was dreaming.

God, don't they even pretend now?

What does "not put it back on" mean, and what does "high curiosity" mean?

To talk about technology theft so confidently is it really something that a senior decision-maker can do?

You don’t take me seriously!

Leon took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and at the same time comforted himself in his heart:

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This is something we know very well. There is nothing we can't talk about.

After all, when our side "accidentally" captured their sonar and small submarine in the past, they had dismantled it because of "too much curiosity"

After waiting for a few seconds, Leon said:

"I think this is not a question of too much curiosity. We both understand what your purpose is."

"So, we don't need to make any detours."

"Within 3 days, you must return the EC-130H and all crew members. There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Hearing this, Lin Changhai's anger suddenly rose.

No room for negotiation?

Am I consulting with you?

He frowned and replied solemnly:

"It can't be done, it's technically not allowed."

"Is it technically not allowed, or do you just don't want to?"

Lyon on the opposite side pressed forward step by step, but Li Changhai remained unmoved.

"No matter what the reason, it can't be done."

"I would like to ask, if our plane makes an emergency landing at your airport and encounters a major accident, can you guarantee that the repairs will be completed within the time limit and the plane will be returned?"

".We will work hard."

"We will work hard! But I can't guarantee when it will be returned!"

"Okay, that's it. If you still want to talk, then make an appointment for another time!"

"We just did a good thing. I can't accept your threats!"

After saying that, Lin Changhai directly put down the phone.

As the chief officer, my attitude has been made very clear.

Leave the rest of the details to the subordinates.

Of course, no matter how harsh the words are, the problem still needs to be solved. This is the most basic principle in international exchanges.

However, how to solve it specifically?

There is a high probability that the United States will send a technical team to carry out emergency treatment, repair the aircraft to the point where it can take off, and then reluctantly fly back.

Lin Changhai walked out of the office, called the person in charge of the airport, and asked:

"How is the progress of the repairs now?"

"There's not much progress. To be honest, we can't repair it. We're just taking it apart and taking a look at what we can."

Lin Changhai hummed and continued:

"Then don't tear it apart!"

"Anyway, there's nothing we need on this plane, so just leave it there."

"Throw it there? Then ask the other side."

"If they are anxious, let them fix it themselves!"

"I want to see how many people they can call over. It's just right. Let our people get ready."

"When the people on the other side come, keep a good watch on them."

"How much they can learn depends on their abilities!"
