Chapter 1188 Lorenzo, the scapegoat
“No, this plane is not a Fuji 604!”
While Sir Zhang was investigating possible risks in the control tower, the airport command center, there was Engineers suddenly discovered that the plane that had lowered to a sufficient landing altitude was not the Fuji 604 passenger plane they had originally expected to be lured to.
"Gentlemen, you are so disobedient, but even if you take back the light control system, it will not work. Also, don't try to let the plane land according to the lights. I have already changed their radar altitude. Lowered by 600 feet, unless you want them all to crash on the runway."
The news that the airport had taken back the lighting control system was finally sent back to the mysterious man.
The other party issued a warning to the airport again.
Because most captains trust radar sensors more than airport lights.
The radar equipment at the airport has been blown up by the opponent. Now that the opponent has modified it, it is impossible for the airport to make corrections in a short time.
Unless they can contact the communication systems of all aircraft, there is a high possibility that something will happen to many aircraft even if they can see the runway.
Six hundred feet is exactly the distance the plane is preparing to glide to land.
When an airplane is in the sky, even if you can see the lights below, it is impossible to judge the altitude accurately with the naked eye.
"Colonel Stewart, you are Colonel Stewart. You are Colonel Stewart who was expelled from Congress due to poor performance some time ago."
This time, the mysterious man did not wait to explain his purpose, because his legs and feet were difficult to move. , John, who was still in the airport control room at this moment, suddenly revealed the identity of the mysterious man.
"What, he is Stewart, no, Colonel Grant, who came to support us this time, is a very good friend of Stewart, and is also each other's old superior. The two of them are so good that they can wear the same pair of pants. And Stewart was trained by the other party.”
Hearing John reveal the identity of the mysterious man, the airport police director Lorenzo’s expression suddenly changed.
This garrison is right next to the airport. Naturally, the two sides never interact with each other.
On the contrary, precisely because the distance between the two parties is very close, and the airport actually pays more attention to security, there is actually quite a lot of contact between the two parties.
It is probably because of this that Stewart and others were able to take away all control of the airport so easily during this operation.
Just as the garrison is very familiar with the airport, Lorenzo is also very familiar with most of the officers of the garrison.
The commander of this garrison in the first two months was actually not Grant, but Stewart.
It's just that the other party was expelled by Congress for some reasons, and then in order to prevent other soldiers from acting abnormally, Stewart's old superior Grant was dispatched.
Now that the person causing trouble at the airport was Stewart, Lorenzo, as the other party's old superior, had actually been able to guess some of Grant's attitude towards this.
After all, it has been more than half an hour since this group of soldiers came to support, but after they arrived, apart from blocking the airport and preventing people from leaving, they failed to achieve anything else.
Da da da—
Bang bang bang bang—
"Hey, you don't seem to be Lorenzo. Who are you? How did you know that the person speaking was Stewart? He used the transformer specially."
Everyone is here in the command room When he was shocked because the mysterious man was Stewart, bursts of gunshots suddenly came from the intercom, and then Grant's curious voice came through the intercom.
"Damn it, you are actually acting. Damn it, aren't you afraid of being sanctioned?"
Lorenzo's face turned red with anger when he heard Grant's teasing words.
The other party was so wanton on the walkie-talkie. It was obvious that he didn't think he could detect the two of them acting before.
The key is that if John hadn't revealed Stewart's identity, Lorenzo would have never thought that the garrison would be the enemy from the beginning to the end.
Even though it had been more than ten minutes since Grant had led the team to the church, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It is precisely because of this that Lorenzo becomes even more angry.
There was such a big accident at the airport. As the security director, he himself could not absolve himself of the blame. Now the enemy was still garrisoned. What if the people who came to investigate mistakenly thought that he had colluded with these people? , then Lorenzo will be finished for the rest of his life.
Judging from the current situation, Lorenzo may have really provided a lot of convenience to the other party, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In order to avoid being misunderstood, Lorenzo naturally had to find a way to cut it.
So he simply yelled into the walkie-talkie.
This approach may make Lorenzo look stupid and like a clown.
But in fact, this is very effective at first, because almost everyone will hear that he and Stewart and others are not the same group, but were just deceived by the other party.
Secondly, Lorenzo actually showed himself to be stupid on purpose, because it was precisely because of this that the reviewers felt that since he was so stupid, it was normal for him to be deceived.
Lorenzo can sit in the position of security director of an international airport, but of course he is not a real freeloader.
For people like him, all seemingly stupid actions are actually for profit.
The same was true for his previous quarrel with Carter. For him, it was better to directly characterize the other person as a thief than to spend all his energy investigating a matter that had no beginning or end.
For Lorenzo, this is also a unique survival wisdom.
“Haha, Lorenzo, my friend, don’t be so excited, I want to thank you for your cooperation before.
Speaking of which, whether it's the lighting control system, the command tower, or the radar, without your help, I wouldn't even be able to take control of these things. I don't even know how to deal with these things.
Of course, the more important thing is this communication system. Without your authorization, I really don’t know what to do. ”
But something happened that frightened Lorenzo.
Although he wanted to cut off from Stewart during the intercom, Stewart did not cooperate with him.
On the contrary, the other party directly defined him as a helper
"You, you."
Lorenzo opened his mouth to say that the other party framed him, but after he opened his mouth, the words could not come out at all.
Because Stewart’s words are not false.
Lorenzo really facilitated these things.
Stewart found Lorenzo and proposed to use the airport to practice the soldiers' actual combat training against terrorism.
Logically speaking, this kind of request does not comply with the airport's security regulations, so Lorenzo should refuse it.
But after Stuart took him to the Luojishan nightclub several times and gave him some benefits and promises, Lorenzo violated the rules and agreed.
In his opinion at the beginning, the soldiers were all his own, and his behavior was not considered a violation.
Even after the soldiers are familiar with these equipment, if something really happens and they ask these soldiers for help, they will be able to help them faster. As a result, who would have thought that the soldiers would now directly turn from one of their own to the enemy.
In this way, his original agreement has indeed turned into support for the enemy.
"Hurry and get him under control, and ask for help from outside."
Seeing Lorenzo's troubled expression, John immediately drew his gun and pointed it at the opponent.
Although he was not sure whether what Stewart said about Lorenzo was a false accusation or true, judging from Lorenzo's performance from beginning to end, the other party was a hindrance.
Now that he has the opportunity to defeat the other party, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.
"Officer Lorenzo, please hand over your gun."
The airport commander almost fainted from happiness when he saw this scene.
After such a big thing happened at the airport, he had already chosen to give up on himself and give up treatment.
Who would have thought that things would take such a turn of events, which gave him great hope.
As the commander of the airport, he was naturally responsible for something that happened at the airport.
Especially since the entire control system of the airport was controlled by the enemy, even if the matter had nothing to do with him, he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.
But now, a consultant from the Bureau of Investigation, Luojishan and the New York police suddenly appeared to help him regain control of the lights.
Then the enemy revealed that the airport security director was actually a spy.
Now, the commander had some hope of turning around.
Originally, in the commander's opinion, if such a big thing happened, no one else except himself, the leader, could bear the responsibility.
But now Stewart's assist instantly gave him a chance.
As the director of airport security, Lorenzo has a high status, especially since the other party himself is responsible for airport security.
Now with Stewart's endorsement, even if it is impossible for the other party to completely shoulder the responsibility, at least most of the firepower can be diverted.
Especially judging from Lorenzo’s own reaction, most of what Stewart said is probably true.
This is very important to the commander right now.
So even though he knew that the possibility of Lorenzo's rebellion was very, very low, he still chose to control the other party first.
Because in this way, he can tell about his critical decision afterwards and prevent a possible risk.
The commander has made up his mind. Regardless of whether Lorenzo has rebelled before, from the moment he is caught, he will definitely rebel.
This is not just the commander’s expectation. There is such a big problem at the airport this time, and there are so many people at the scene. It will definitely not be possible to cover it up.
So instead of promoting the enemy's ability to snatch away the entire airport control system without anyone noticing, it would be better to promote that the enemy was able to do this because of the help of an insider.
After all, if you propagate that the enemy is strong, doesn't it mean that you are incompetent? For the only superpower, this kind of thing, let alone the authorities, will not be recognized by even ordinary people.
If the authorities dare to admit this, they may even be in danger of stepping down.
Because America officials are elected by popular vote.
If they can't keep America strong, then the people will have to consider voting for someone else.
On the contrary, the enemy was able to do all this because of the emergence of traitors, especially traitors from security counterparts.
Then this result will be more acceptable to both the authorities and the people.
"Hey, Stuart is slandering me. He is slandering me. How can you believe his words."
Seeing John and the commander fall out at the same time, Lorenzo is already in a bad situation My mood suddenly reached its peak.
Although he didn't know yet that the commander was going to push him out as a scapegoat, he also knew that if he really retreated, it would probably be difficult for him to explain clearly afterwards.
“Lorenzo, don’t make it difficult for me. Whether what Stewart said is true or false will be clear after our investigation.
But after this incident happened, the police department you led not only failed to play a role, but actually held us back. This is a fact. "
Hearing Lorenzo's excuse, the commander shook his head without giving him any face.
Seeing the commander's attitude and the angry look on John's face, Lorenzo's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and looked around, intent on finding some support.
But at this moment, the command room was filled with engineers and administrative staff. They were all the commander's people. This happened so suddenly that everyone naturally had no good feelings toward Lorenzo who might be a traitor.
And some of Lorenzo's own men were ambushed while handling the radar equipment and had already died. Under the guns of the soldiers
The other part, he sent out to assist the group of soldiers, now with Grant's rebellion, the men he sent out may also be in trouble.
Lorenzo did not forget that before Grant jumped, there was a burst of gunfire on the radio.
The few who are still standing here are not only not Lorenzo's confidants, but have even been suppressed by him to some extent on weekdays. Of course, it is impossible to stand on the same front as him at this moment.
From this point of view, even if Lorenzo himself has no intention of defecting, the things he did can better prove that he deserves to be suspected.
“Well, Lorenzo thanks you for your previous efforts, now let’s talk about useful things.
The plane that is about to land now is the plane transporting General Esperanza.
All of you, stay away and get the 747s ready for us.
As long as you cooperate, all nineteen police officers here will survive after we leave.
But if you don’t cooperate, then not only these police officers will die, but there will be more than 20,000 people at the airport later. I believe you don’t want anything to happen to them. ”
Stewart’s sinister words came out through the radio again.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard what the other party said.
Grant's jump was too sudden. The airport was obviously not prepared for this. The threat from the other party was really not just a casual talk.
It would be a disaster if so many heavily armed soldiers entered the airport and fired indiscriminately.
"Stewart, Grant, you are finished, there will be support to destroy you soon."
Hearing Stewart's words, Lorenzo immediately spoke harsh words towards the other party, as if I want to use this to separate myself from the other party.
