16: Chapter 16 was completely destroyed.

A hotel in Beirut.

After the arms deal contract was signed, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari did not leave Beirut, but he stayed in constant contact with the Glass House, keeping a close watch for any special incidents.

After Li Yi contacted Lieutenant Colonel Haidari to say that the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile would be launched tonight, he ordered the Glass House to relay the latest situation at all times and wait for his further orders. At the same time, he requested that a battalion in Haibai prepare to depart, so that orders could be issued to the relevant officers and soldiers as soon as news arrived.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, his phone rang. Lieutenant Colonel Haidari hurriedly took out his phone and answered the call.

After Li Yi returned to Pengcheng, he did not even have time to rest before immediately contacting Lieutenant Colonel Haidari.

"Lieutenant Colonel Haidari, the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile has been successfully launched, and it has shot down a Global Hawk."

"Really? The USA's Global Hawk?" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari asked, his anxiety mixed with excitement. He had originally thought it would only shoot down an Israeli F-15 Eagle fighter jet or F-16 Fighter Jet, but he hadn't expected it to directly shoot down a Global Hawk, of which the USA had very few.

"Yes. The crash site of the Global Hawk is in the northern part of the Golan Heights. Write down the specific crash coordinates; you can send people to collect some of the wreckage."

Li Yi read out the coordinate range of the Global Hawk's crash site, as well as the parking coordinates for the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment, and continued.

"The Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher vehicles are parked in this canyon at the foot of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. You must send people to take possession of them immediately. Although we have activated the radar jamming signal, you need to send people to this canyon as soon as possible to avoid them being captured by Israel or the USA."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari hurriedly said, "Okay! I will send people to these two locations immediately. Is all the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment complete in this canyon?"

"Yes. All the launcher equipment is there, and the passwords have been removed. After you take possession of them, you can set your own operation passwords for each piece of equipment."

"That's no problem then. We will contact you after we have taken possession of them."

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari hung up the phone impatiently and began contacting the officers and soldiers stationed in Haibai, ordering them to reach the canyon Li Yi mentioned within an hour, and to immediately transfer the equipment after taking possession of it to ensure the safety of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment.

At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari contacted Major General Rahim. After the call connected, he said, "Major General, the arms dealer Chaos Company launched the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile tonight, and according to them, they shot down a Global Hawk belonging to the USA."

"Have you confirmed it?" Major General Rahim was also somewhat skeptical; the Global Hawk was not easy to shoot down, and there were very few deployed in Syria to begin with.

"Chaos Company is very certain, and they have told me the coordinate range of the Global Hawk's crash site. It shouldn't be fake."

"You still need to verify it. Send people to the crash site to gather intelligence. You must confirm that it is a real report of a shoot-down; don't let this turn into a joke."

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Haidari replied.

"Have you arranged for people to take possession of the Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missile launcher equipment?"

"It has already been arranged."

"You must keep an eye on this matter. As soon as there is confirmed news, notify me immediately!" Major General Rahim instructed.

"Yes!"

Lieutenant Colonel Haidari immediately contacted two agents located near the Golan Heights in Israel, ordering them to rush to the Global Hawk crash site immediately. After taking pictures of the Global Hawk crash, they were to find some wreckage fragments; it would be best if they could bring back some of the Global Hawk's wreckage, which could be used to obtain analytical materials on the Global Hawk.

After making the arrangements, Lieutenant Colonel Haidari breathed a slight sigh of relief. Once the news was confirmed, Major General Rahim or even the Iranian Ministry of Defense would naturally handle the subsequent response; Lieutenant Colonel Haidari did not need to be involved in that.

...

Palmachim Airbase.

Colonel Benny, who was monitoring the routine patrol tonight, felt his anxiety subside as he saw that so much time had passed without receiving a report of any abnormalities from Major Nokin.

"It seems that nothing will go wrong with today's routine patrol," Colonel Benny thought to himself.

However, just at that moment, a captain walked towards him holding a document and said, "Colonel, we just received a document forwarded by the Ministry of Defense from the USA Air Force Command Center in Italy requesting the dispatch of fighter jets to assist."

The captain handed the document he was holding to Colonel Benny and stood to the side, watching as Colonel Benny flipped through the file.

Colonel Benny hurriedly opened the document and saw that the USA was requesting that Israel immediately dispatch fighter jets to take off and head to the Golan Heights for reconnaissance to locate the anti-aircraft missile positions there; if they were found, they were to immediately launch a full-scale bombing to destroy them.

"Did the USA army stationed in Syria have some kind of accident? They could have dispatched fighter jets themselves. Why are they asking us to send fighter jets to the Golan Heights?"

Colonel Benny was somewhat puzzled, but he did not hesitate and immediately ordered, "Contact Major Nokin immediately. Tell them to abandon this routine patrol and head immediately to the area in the Golan Heights specified by the USA. Once they find any anti-aircraft missile positions, no matter which country they belong to, destroy them all."

After recording the order, the captain turned and went to relay the order to Major Nokin.

Colonel Benny pulled up a map of the Golan Heights, wondering where exactly an anti-aircraft missile position could be hidden that would cause the USA Air Force Command to specifically issue a document requesting assistance in locating it.

The two F-16 Fighter Jets and one reconnaissance plane commanded by Major Nokin had already completed most of their routine patrol mission and were preparing to return when they suddenly received an order from the airbase, requiring them to immediately change direction to conduct reconnaissance in the Golan Heights and locate the anti-aircraft missile positions there.

"Captain Haruz, Captain Ezer, follow the reconnaissance plane immediately and prepare to head to the Golan Heights for reconnaissance. The airbase requires us to locate the enemy anti-aircraft missile positions in the Golan Heights. Please respond if received."

"Received!"

"Received!"

Following the two responses, Major Nokin immediately piloted the reconnaissance plane and headed straight for the Golan Heights.

Captain Haruz and Captain Ezer piloted their F-16 Fighter Jets in close pursuit, but neither of them paid much attention to this mission.

"How could there be an anti-aircraft missile position in the Golan Heights? I'm afraid Syria hasn't even seen a shadow of an anti-aircraft missile in the last few years."

"Could it be Iran's? Iran still has anti-aircraft missiles."

"Iran wouldn't dare deploy an anti-aircraft missile position close to the Golan Heights, would they? At such a close distance, it would be destroyed as soon as it was discovered. Iran wouldn't dare waste anti-aircraft missiles like that."

"Russia couldn't either. Russia doesn't even have enough anti-aircraft missiles for itself right now, so how could they deploy them to Syria?"

Captain Haruz and Captain Ezer discussed this while piloting their fighter jets, not understanding what this mission was about.
