29: Chapter 29: Global Hawk Crash - No News.

Israel sealed off the Global Hawk's crash site, and an investigation team sent by the USA Air Force Command in Europe has already conducted a comprehensive investigation.

Lieutenant Colonel David personally went to participate in the investigation; seeing the Global Hawk scattered everywhere, he felt a bit flustered.

Being held accountable was already a certainty; it was just a matter of seeing how much responsibility would ultimately be assigned.

The investigation team had preliminarily determined that the Global Hawk was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile, as fragments of such a missile were found among the scattered debris.

Through a rough analysis of the anti-aircraft missile fragments, they simply did not match any anti-aircraft missiles currently used by other countries in the world.

The investigation team was temporarily unable to determine exactly what model of anti-aircraft missile had shot down the Global Hawk.

To obtain more analytical data, the investigation team would have to transport all the collectable Global Hawk wreckage to the USA for further analysis.

This would take time, with at least a year being the minimum.

Major Nokin was also called in for questioning by the investigation team to understand how no anti-aircraft missiles were detected in the Golan Heights.

After all, if a search for anti-aircraft missile positions is conducted immediately after a Global Hawk is shot down, they are easiest to find.

However, Major Nokin failed to find the anti-aircraft missile positions immediately, which led to his professionalism being questioned.

Major Nokin recounted his several reconnaissance flights over the Golan Heights and specifically mentioned that he had performed low-altitude reconnaissance but found no trace of any anti-aircraft missile positions.

The investigation team did not believe him and extracted the data from the reconnaissance aircraft Major Nokin had piloted; after analysis, they found that Major Nokin was not lying.

Suddenly, the investigation hit a stalemate with no breakthroughs.

Was it a Russian anti-aircraft missile, or an Iranian one?

The investigation team did not dare to guess lightly; they were familiar with the performance of Russian and Iranian anti-aircraft missiles, and they simply did not match the fragments of the missile from this Global Hawk crash.

This made the investigation team feel very uneasy.

In the end, everything would depend on the analysis report of the Global Hawk wreckage.

The USA Intelligence Investigation Bureau also participated in the investigation, monitoring network communications in countries like Israel, Syria, and Iran; however, after a period of eavesdropping, they still found nothing.

They could only deploy more personnel to participate in the monitoring, hoping that some new situation would arise in the future to provide a breakthrough.

In the reports provided by the investigation team, the USA military could not find the culprit, so they couldn't even find anyone to retaliate against.

They could only increase their troop deployment in Syria and boost support for the Syrian Opposition Armed Forces, attempting to trade control over the region by compressing the activity space of Syria and Iran.

Because the United States Department of Defense had not received a detailed report from the military, they chose to play dead during subsequent press conferences, never responding to any reporter's questions regarding the Global Hawk crash.

Under the USA's deliberate downplaying, the news media also received warnings and gradually stopped caring about the Global Hawk crash incident.

Although many people still cared about the follow-up developments of the Global Hawk crash, without the cooperation of the news media, it failed to cause any significant waves, and public opinion slowly calmed down.

Seeing that the USA had not promptly determined which country or which type of anti-aircraft missile had shot down the Global Hawk, the Israeli Ministry of Defense had to order all fighter jets to maintain high vigilance during routine patrol missions.

In particular, at the Palmachim Airbase responsible for patrolling the Golan Heights, Colonel Benny was even called to the Ministry of Defense for a talk on how the base would ensure that targets would not be locked by anti-aircraft missiles during daily patrols in the coming period.

Colonel Benny was also somewhat worried about this and formulated a series of countermeasures, striving to ensure that every fighter jet in the patrol formations could return safely.

However, these matters were not something that could be resolved in a short time. The entire Israeli Air Force entered a state approaching combat readiness, raising the alert level immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Ministries of Defense around the world were paying attention to the Global Hawk crash, but since none of them could obtain first-hand information, they could only secretly speculate about the situation.

Some guesses were miles off the mark, such as India, which believed that there was divine intervention involved.

Some guesses were more on track, believing that a new type of anti-aircraft missile had appeared, one that the Global Hawk simply had no way to evade and was ultimately shot down by.

Some countries even sent agents to Syria, hoping to obtain more intelligence.

If a new type of anti-aircraft missile really had appeared, would it be possible for them to purchase it to enhance their own country's airspace defense?

...

After the delivery of the first batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, Li Yi planned to take a good rest and also take some time to finish the follow-up work for the two companies he had established—Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company.

Li Yi had already received the registration documents for Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company, but the bank account opening had not yet been completed.

Li Yi immediately called Lin Shan and asked once she picked up, "Manager Lin, have the bank accounts for Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company been opened yet?"

"The bank account for Green Lotus Company has already been opened in Hong Kong. Chaos Company is still waiting for the bank to mail some documents, but the bank account is already functional."

"That's good. Are you free today? Send all the paper documents for Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company to me."

Lin Shan also intended to hand these paper materials over to Li Yi, saying, "Alright. I'll send them to you after I organize them. Shall we meet at that same Shangpin Cafe as before, or will you come to our company's office?"

"Let's just go to the Shangpin Cafe."

Li Yi didn't want to go to their office; it was better at the Shangpin Cafe where they could talk over coffee.

In any case, Chaos Company and Green Lotus Company were already registered, and the subsequent account management would be paid for and handled by Ruifeng Business Consulting Company.

Li Yi didn't plan to use these two companies to conduct business for the time being; he was just using the company names to sign contracts and agreements.

Furthermore, in the short term, there would be very little capital, and funds might not even pass through the bank accounts of these two companies.

At the Shangpin Cafe, Li Yi met Lin Shan.

Lin Shan's attire was as capable and fresh as always, but Li Yi had no thoughts of admiration.

Taking the paper documents Lin Shan handed him, Li Yi looked through the key documents under her guidance and found no errors or omissions.

This basically meant that Ruifeng Business Consulting Company had completed the task Li Yi had given them to act as an agent in setting up the offshore companies.

Li Yi looked at Lin Shan and asked, "If needed, can your company help me with the annual audits, tax filings, and other subsequent management work for these two companies every year?"

"Yes, we can."

Lin Shan was about to introduce the specific management services provided, but Li Yi stopped her, saying, "As long as you can. If there's a need in the future, we'll talk in detail."

"Alright then," Lin Shan could only agree. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"You go ahead."

Li Yi put away all the paper documents, ordered afternoon tea, and finished it leisurely before leaving.
