The factory director has a new skill every day, which has broken down the strategic deception bureau

The officer in charge of the source investigation immediately stepped forward to report: "Reporting to the commander, after a thorough overnight investigation and comparison of airspace records..."

"On that night, only one company was broadcasting its fireworks display live across the entire airspace. The company's name is Zhenxing Industry and Trade."

"What? Selling fireworks via livestream?"

The commander's pupils constricted, his face filled with astonishment. He instinctively asked, "Have the regulations for setting off fireworks by private enterprises been relaxed to this extent?"

Many air defense and logistics officers present also looked puzzled.

According to the current "Regulations on the Safety Management of Fireworks and Firecrackers" and the airspace control regulations, the height of conventional civilian fireworks displays is strictly limited.

The maximum altitude of ordinary civilian fireworks is generally no more than two thousand meters, and large-scale centralized setting off is strictly prohibited in urban areas, suburbs, and airspace control zones. Cluster-style high-altitude explosion operations are also not allowed.

"Sir, Zhenxing Industry and Trade has submitted complete reporting materials to the local emergency management bureau, public security department, and airspace control department in advance for this large-scale fireworks display."

"The timing, location, and scale of the fireworks display were all approved and registered. It was a compliant and legal commercial live-streamed fireworks display activity, and there was no illegal display or unauthorized operation."

"So it was registered and approved in accordance with regulations..." The commander was still very curious: "But even if it was registered and approved in accordance with regulations, this is still too outrageous."

"According to the air defense monitoring data that night, the RQ-190 Dark Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft penetrated at an altitude of 4,500 to 5,000 meters, which is a typical low-to-medium altitude stealth silent penetration altitude."

"Conventional civilian fireworks reach a maximum height of two thousand meters, which is far beyond the reach of this airspace. How could its fireworks reach a height of four or five thousand meters?"

"Sir, after investigating the sales parameters of the products, we found that the customized commercial fireworks produced by Zhenxing Industrial Trade have abandoned the conventional gunpowder ratio and simplified ballistic structure of civilian fireworks."

"It adopts high-precision propellant, a closed pressure-stabilized combustion chamber, and directional ballistic calibration technology."

"Its effective vertical takeoff altitude generally exceeds 4,800 meters, and its extreme peak altitude can reach 5,200 meters, completely covering the entire penetration airspace of RQ-190 that night."

"Moreover, these fireworks are extremely stable in the air, with a ballistic deviation of no more than two meters. The infrared heat source and electromagnetic clutter generated by the cluster explosion have a very wide coverage area, and the continuous interference time is enough to penetrate the environmental identification threshold of stealth fighters."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

A series of gasps followed, and everyone was completely dumbfounded, their faces filled with extreme shock.

A group of air defense experts and ordnance veterans with decades of experience looked at each other in disbelief.

They are in constant contact with all kinds of standard firearms and anti-aircraft munitions, and know what a firing altitude of four or five thousand meters means.

This is no longer in the category of ordinary civilian fireworks; some of its ballistic performance is even comparable to that of small standard rocket launchers, far exceeding industry standards and everyone's understanding.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"A private industrial and trading company can produce fireworks that can reach the altitude of a low-altitude military reconnaissance aircraft? This level of technical skill is simply unbelievable!"

"No wonder they were able to force the RQ-190 out of the water. This level of high-altitude cluster heat source interference... it's equivalent to a small-scale, all-domain electro-optical suppression. It's no wonder the stealth fighter's perception system collapsed!"

Commander: "No matter how bizarre or absurd the process may be, the facts are clear: Zhenxing Industry and Trade Company inadvertently helped us resolve a major potential threat to national defense infiltration and made a great contribution."

"The stealth targets that our radar had previously failed to detect in its blind spots were unexpectedly exposed by their civilian products, thus indirectly safeguarding airspace security."

"Chief of Staff, you are responsible for overseeing this matter from start to finish, reporting the facts, compiling details, and recognizing and rewarding those who deserve recognition. We must not allow meritorious companies to go unnoticed."

"Understood! I'll take care of it immediately!"

……

at the same time.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' negotiation meeting room, the second round of special negotiations officially resumed.

After the breakdown of the first round of negotiations, the US, under pressure from international public opinion, will inevitably find itself in the eye of the storm once China releases the footage.

Given the risks of technology leaks and the potential for complete dismantling of the fighter jet, people's mindsets have become more relaxed.

They no longer stubbornly refuse reparations, but still cling to the national pride and refuse to admit the mistake of military invasion.

An American diplomat stated: "We can accept compensation, but this payment absolutely cannot be labeled as invasion reparations or damages. That would be tantamount to admitting military failure, which is absolutely unacceptable."

"Our bottom line is to pay one million US dollars in compensation, specifically for the food and accommodation expenses of captured pilot Kane Miller during his stay in China."

Upon hearing this, our negotiating representative immediately rejected the idea: "No way."

If it is labeled as food expenses, its nature changes completely.

This would erase the fact that you illegally intruded and conducted illegal reconnaissance, turning it into normal personnel detention and resettlement, or even military exchange resettlement expenses.

Even if the US brings this up later, it can find a million reasons to explain the expense.

We absolutely cannot accept this.

"Moreover, one million US dollars is too low and is completely insufficient to compensate for our airspace warning costs, national defense security risks, and research emergency dispatch losses. The amount is seriously mismatched."

A new round of tug-of-war has officially begun.

Both sides are locked in a fierce battle over every inch of land, engaging in repeated strategic maneuvering.

The US is clinging to its bottom line of "no admitting mistakes, no compensation, and no taking responsibility," only seeking to save face on the international stage.

We adhere to the principle of sovereignty, aiming to achieve punitive effects while also considering the space for diplomatic mediation.

After several rounds of intense negotiations and mutual compromises, the two sides finally reached a compromise.

The US increased its compensation to five million US dollars, with the funds publicly listed as "Special Expenses for the Food and Accommodation of Pilots During Their Stay in China." Both sides signed the final agreement, finalizing the plan for the return of personnel and fighter jets.

The atmosphere of the negotiations gradually eased, and with paper and pen ready, it seemed that both parties were about to sign and finalize the agreement.

At this critical moment, a Chinese foreign affairs liaison officer quickly entered the meeting room, leaned down and whispered to the Chinese negotiating representatives about the emergency situation at the Shenzhen Air Force Base.

After hearing this, our representative's expression changed slightly, and then he slowly raised his head to look at the American diplomat opposite him: "I'm sorry, there has been a new development in the negotiations. We are temporarily unable to return your RQ-190 reconnaissance aircraft as agreed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room, which had just eased up a little, instantly exploded.

The American diplomat slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his voice suddenly rising, filled with rage and unease: "Why?"

"Did you dismantle our plane?"

"You are dismantling our active-duty military equipment without authorization!"

"This is a serious violation!"

"It's a provocation...it's technology theft!"

His expression was ferocious, his anger boiling over, and the pressure of days of negotiations, the panic of technology leaks, and the frustration of losing face all erupted in an instant.

He completely lost his composure.

In his view, the only possible reason for our sudden change of heart was to take the opportunity to dismantle the fighter jets and steal core stealth technology.

"We strictly abide by international negotiation norms and have not engaged in any unauthorized theft of technology or illegal dismantling of equipment. You do not need to make excessive speculations."

"The equipment is not yet ready for transfer and return; the specific return time will be announced separately."

This flimsy explanation is utterly ineffective in calming the Angry and Anxious United States.

The American diplomat, his face full of disbelief, laughed in anger, and slammed a sealed safe containing five million dollars in cash onto the negotiating table. The impact of the safe produced a dull thud that shocked the entire room.

"I've brought the money! Five million dollars, not a penny less!"

"I don't care what unexpected situation you have, or what excuses you make!"

"Three days! I'm only giving you three last three days!"

"Three days from now, our military and foreign affairs task force will personally arrive at the scene to take full control of the fighter jets and captured personnel!"

"If any damage or loss occurs to the fighter jets, we will consider it as malicious seizure and damage to American military assets, and you will bear full responsibility for all consequences!"

After saying this, the American diplomat glared at the entire room, snorted coldly, and turned to leave with his entourage.

After the American representative left, our personnel asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Our technicians disassembled the RQ-190 Dark Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft... and now they can't put it back together!"

"What?!" Our personnel were dumbfounded. "What are we going to do?"

"Don't worry... the technicians are already working on a solution!"

"Three days...can an RQ-190 Dark Raven stealth reconnaissance aircraft be assembled in three days?"
