The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Gilberto's words gave Sanil and Abhishek a bright idea. Could there be a better reason or excuse?
The problems are always other people's, not yours.

Last year, the number of Indian fighter jets that crashed increased dramatically, leading many to point the finger of doubt at the Indian Air Force, the Ministry of Defence, and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

Sanil and Abhishek naturally understood that these doubts were not without merit.

But the two cannot change this, since all the powerful figures want to take a cut, and very little of the related expenses actually go to the bank.

Can I say these things? Of course not.

Because they and their families are among the beneficiaries.

Therefore, someone has to take the blame.

The two originally planned to find a suitable candidate from within, but now they don't need to; the Americans have already found one for them.

Abhishek, who frequently travels to the United States, thought to himself, "Commissioner Smith truly lives up to his reputation."

He secretly gave his boss a look.

Sanil understood immediately: "What you said makes sense. We must investigate this matter and conduct a security assessment."

“We must act quickly.” Gilberto could tell that the two men had accepted the suggestion to shift the blame: “The brave Indian pilots cannot suffer any more losses.”

He thought to himself, "India's Commissioner Singh lives up to his reputation."

One World Tower is the tallest building in India and the second tallest building in the world, second only to the Burj Khalifa, which is currently under construction. I've also looked into it, and it's certainly a good candidate to take the blame.

But he also had doubts. The Loda Group was nothing and posed no threat whatsoever.

However, Loda Group's partner is an American.

Sanil's only concern was the American: "I've heard that your company has a good relationship with the Dong Group."

Gilberto smiled and shook his head: "It's just some normal business dealings."

Sanil immediately felt relieved; the World One building was definitely going to take the blame!

In addition, Sanil also highly approves of Gilberto and West Coast Tech's way of doing things.

The other party holds the satellite deal, which means they hold the lifeline of India's space strategy, and can therefore make strong demands.

The Military Space Command, and even the Department of Defense, simply could not refuse.

But the other party not only did not do that, they even found the most suitable way for them to save face.

Sanil stopped thinking about it and said to Abhishek, "You immediately accompany our good friend to Mumbai to handle the relevant matters. I will now return to the Ministry of Defense to report these situations to the Minister, and then a press conference will be held."

Abhishek, a pro-American figure, said without hesitation, "I'll call for a special plane..."

Gilberto wouldn't dare ride on an Indian military plane; they're really capable of crashing from the sky to the ground, and even high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Defense have died in such crashes.

He quickly replied, "I came on a business jet and can return to Mumbai at any time."

Abhishek made a phone call, and when the two went out, a working group was already waiting in the club lobby.

The group went directly to Delhi Airport and boarded a West Coast Tech business jet to return to Mumbai.

On the plane, Gilberto and Abhishek reached some agreements similar to those between Commissioner Smith and Commissioner Singh.

As the business jet approached Mumbai and was about to land, Abhishek saw the World One building.

Although the main construction is not yet complete, its height of over 60 stories is exceptionally striking.

Abhishek said, "It really does obstruct visibility." He reminded the pilots, "Inform them to be extra careful during landing."

Because they were in a hurry to return to Mumbai, the Military Space and Aviation Command helped them contact Mumbai Military Airport as the airport for this landing.

The plane landed safely, and Abhishek, to solidify the friendship between the two sides, gave Gilberto a tour.

Gilberto witnessed an astonishing scene on a helipad that defied all expectations.

An Indian-made Tejas fighter jet, waiting to take off for training, was leaking oil. Nearby ground crew brought over a discarded shopping bag and placed it under the leaking oil to catch it.

Abhishek was somewhat embarrassed and explained, "This is just condensation from the plane, nothing serious, it's normal."

Gilberto, of course, wouldn't refute him directly, and simply gave a few perfunctory replies.

But upon hearing that the aircraft would subsequently take to the skies for training, he suggested that the visit end there, as business was more important.

The two quickly moved away from the military airfield.

Unfortunately, an accident soon occurred. The Tejas fighter jet, a flagship of India's domestically produced weaponry, crashed during a routine training exercise at Mumbai's military airfield. The aircraft and pilot crashed to the ground and exploded into a fireball.

This incident has greatly angered the Indian Ministry of Defence and the Military Space and Aviation Command.

Unlike the MiG and Sukhoi series, the Russian-made aircraft purchased by Russia were problematic.

However, the Tejas fighter jet is touted as being domestically produced in India and is comparable to fifth-generation fighter jets.

No, it should be that the Tejas fighter jet automatically matches the generation of the world's most advanced fighter jets.

Under pressure, Abhishek completed his investigation and analysis of World One Tower in just two days, concluding that World One Tower seriously interfered with Mumbai's military airport.

Sunil rushed over from New Delhi and held an emergency press conference.

Gilberto, as the head of West Coast Technologies in India, called Juan together, and together they gave a detailed report to Hawke via satellite video.

…………

Los Angeles, Coast Building.

Hawke cut off satellite communication with Mumbai and instructed Edward to call Twitter India and have them send someone to the Military Space Command press conference, which would be broadcast live across the United States via Twitter.

After Edward finished the call, he said, "We're lucky; the Indians crashed another plane."

Hawke was looking at photos of the Tejas fighter jet after it crashed and exploded, and casually remarked, "It's not that we're lucky, it's just that crashing planes is commonplace for Indians."

“That makes sense.” Edward thought of what Gilberto had just mentioned in the video and said, “Just how confident are the Indians? Their Tejas fighter jet was leaking oil, and they still dared to fly it! Don’t pilots’ lives matter?”

Hawke said very seriously, "India is not a country that can be measured by common sense."

He had seen the information Gilberto had obtained from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Abhishek, which indicated that the Indians launched satellites using carrier rockets with rather poor technical specifications.

Generally, when SpaceX launches a satellite, the altitude error of 200 kilometers is specified to be within a few hundred meters. The satellite itself also carries some propulsion fuel and makes appropriate adjustments after entering orbit.

Countries or companies with inferior technology can only manage errors of a few kilometers at most. India's satellite launches are allowed a tolerance of 100 kilometers.

After launch, the error was tens of kilometers, which is within the error range specified in Indian launch regulations, so the launch can naturally be declared a success.

Anyway, neither the higher-ups nor the common people understand these things, so they still won.

Professionals like Abhishek naturally understand the difference, which is why he has been pursuing West Coast Technologies, hoping to obtain Surrey Satellite's advanced satellites so that he can conduct reverse engineering and master the world's most advanced satellite technology.

Therefore, they preferred to pay the remaining balance on the goods and sacrifice the interests of some people in Mumbai in order to maintain a good relationship with Hawke.

Hawke knew all this perfectly well and asked Edward, "Has Henderson's report been submitted?"

Edward said, "It's already been sent to me."

Hawke took it and carefully reviewed it. It was a report jointly submitted by West Coast Corporation and Surrey Satellite Corporation, the most important part of which was the satellite deal with India.

Because none of the core components and software for all the communication and survey satellites have been installed, these empty satellite shells have already been manufactured in the factory and transported to the warehouse, ready to be shipped to Mumbai, India at any time.

Of course, it's impossible to ship the goods in the short term.

After reviewing the documents, Hawke told Edward, "Inform Henderson that all satellites must be shipped by the final delivery deadline."

“Understood.” Edward asked, “What if the Indians pay the balance?”

Hawke was prepared: "Surrey Satellites mastered satellite manufacturing technology as early as the 1980s, more than 30 years ago."

After chatting for a while, Edward received a call from director Eric Ethan.

Tonight at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the cast and crew of "Sirius" are organizing a large memorial service for Meryl Streep, and Eric asks the two of them if they want to attend.

With the New Year approaching, Hawke was about to depart for Wyoming and declined Eric's invitation.

Meryl Streep's death made the movie "Sirius" a huge hit, and various memorial events spread throughout the United States, with an impact far exceeding that of Heath Ledger during "The Dark Knight".

It's not hard to understand; Meryl Streep far surpasses Heath Ledger in terms of fame, influence, and appeal.

And most importantly, the latter died of drug overdose, a rather dishonorable death, which remains a major stain on Warner Bros.' reputation despite their best efforts to clear their name.

Meryl Streep, on the other hand, was shot and killed by a crazed fan, naturally placing her on the side of public sympathy.

Hawke also took a look at the box office performance of "Silali". Even though this biographical film had less commercial appeal and a smaller audience than "The Dark Knight", its North American box office was steadily approaching $2 million.

The positive impact of the deceased on a high-quality film is even more evident in "Silali".

Meryl Streep is highly regarded by the entertainment media and is recognized by the media and movie fans as a talented actress and a top-tier star.

Since its release, "Sila" has maintained an IMDb rating of 9.5 and its Rotten Tomatoes score has risen to 98%.

From movie fans to film critics to industry professionals, there was nothing but praise.

Correspondingly, the film's influence is also constantly expanding.

It's no exaggeration to say that "Silali" swept all the preliminary awards that have already been given.

Spielberg's "Lincoln" only managed to compete with Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor; it suffered a complete defeat in all other awards.

With two months to go before the Oscars, and thanks to Meryl Streep's influence and popularity, the production team is confident that Leonardo DiCaprio will beat Daniel Day-Lewis in the most crucial award.

As is well known, the deciding factor for the Oscar acting award is not acting skills.

After finishing his work, Hawke contacted Erica and prepared to rest.

Given the turbulent times, the two will not leave North America and, as in the previous two years, plan to go on vacation to the resort area of ​​Wyoming.

The following morning, Hawke and Erica boarded their private jet.

Before boarding the plane, Erica bought a copy of the Los Angeles Times, read it, and handed it to Hawke, saying, "Life's tough for the Democrats."

Hawke took it and glanced at it. With the release of "Silaly," media reporters began to relentlessly pursue and intercept Donald Party leaders, including Obama and Joseph.

He said, "It won't be easy for the Donald Party to reverse public opinion on this issue."

Erica thought for a moment and asked, "If you were a member of the Democratic Party, what would you do in this situation?"

Hawke said rather casually, "Death is what truly moves people."

Erica nodded: "Find a star of equal stature, and have her die an unnatural death to dilute the impact of the Meryl incident."

Hawke praised, "Darling, you've grasped the essence of making political public relations entertaining."

…………

Dallas, the newly opened Dong Building.

Upon receiving Weisel's notification, General Manager Dong sat in his office early.

Ini personally connected her laptop to the projector in the conference room.

She clicked on Twitter's live stream page, where a press conference convened by the Indian Ministry of Defence and the Military Space and Aviation Command had just begun.

Mr. Dong's face looked extremely grim.

Weisser rushed to Mumbai and, together with the Loda Group, did a lot of public relations work. While it wasn't entirely ineffective, it was negligible.

McKindy sat on the single sofa, silent.

The live broadcast quickly began, and the spokesperson's announcement was quite surprising.

India’s Ministry of Defence and Military Aerospace Administration have attributed a series of military aircraft crashes at Mumbai’s military airport to the World One skyscraper, which is under construction. They claim that the building seriously affects the safety of military and civil aircraft in Mumbai and that construction must be stopped immediately, the design and construction plan must be changed, and the building height must not exceed 100 meters.

Everyone in the meeting room was stunned.

Indians are so unreliable. Your plane had a problem, and you blamed the buildings on the ground for being too tall?
Ini couldn't help but say, "We must lodge a strong protest with the Indians and negotiate; they're throwing mud at us..."

“The problem isn’t with India,” Mr. Dong interrupted his daughter. “This is unusual. Why are the Indian Ministry of Defence and the Military Aerospace Administration targeting us?”

Inee shut her mouth and began to think seriously.

McKendi's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "We thought the previous problems with the spot checks on steel and cement were due to our partner, Loda Group. But the situation the project is facing now seems quite unusual."

Once the military determines that the World One project is in serious trouble, then serious problems are inevitable.

Dong Zong was well aware of this: "Have you considered that all the problems arose after I announced my candidacy for president?" (End of Chapter)
