Pan Desheng said: "But it takes seven days by boat. All time is wasted on the road."
Du Ziyuan said calmly: "Get on the ship today. We will arrive in Jakarta in seven days, on the 17th. The time is just right."
Huang Zuozhu's face remained calm, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. He stared silently at Du Ziyuan's stern face, as if guessing his intentions. After a moment, he slowly turned to Pan Desheng and said in an almost cold voice.
: "Lao Pan, the route prescribed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for them is to take a boat, so they can only take a boat. In this way, you will also call the director of the office Ma Heming, and the two of you will accompany the messenger of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and take a boat to Jakarta.
Also, be sure to pay attention to safety on the road.”
Pan Desheng looked at Du Ziyuan and Huang Zuozhu in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
After Pan Desheng left, Huang Zuozhu looked at Du Ziyuan with a puzzled look.
Du Ziyuan looked at Huang Zuozhu equally sternly. He said: "Old Huang, it is very important whether the plane is safe. I suggest that you go to the Air India office in Hong Kong again and tell them again to ensure the safety of the plane."
Huang Zuozhu stared at him, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go again." In his heart, he was indeed worried about the fat Air India manager. It was indeed necessary to warn him again.
Du Ziyuan added: "There is one more thing to do. You'd better make an appointment with Mr. Grantham, the Governor of Hong Kong, inform him of the notice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and ask him to send more police to protect the safety of this plane."
From the sidelines, Du Ziyuan's suggestion is very necessary and may even make up for the mistakes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, sometimes people's calculations are really not as good as God's calculations. The "Kashmir Princess" aircraft has been doomed to its tragic fate.
When Wong Zuo-chu made an appointment to meet with Hong Kong Governor Grantham, Grantham had not yet received the telegram sent to him by the British Foreign Office.
Huang Zuozhu sat in Grantham's office and looked at him seriously. He said seriously: "Mr. Governor, we have indeed received reliable information. Taiwan's intelligence agency will send agents to plant bombs on the plane of the Chinese delegation.
.Therefore, we ask the Hong Kong police to ensure the safety of this aircraft."
Although Governor Grantham was surprised by this, he did pay attention to it. He knew that the president of Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch was the top leader of the CCP in Hong Kong, including the CCP's intelligence agency in Hong Kong.
What he said must not be groundless. In terms of his responsibilities, he will never allow such an explosion to occur in Hong Kong.
However, only fifteen minutes after he sent Huang Zuozhu away, he received a telegram from the British Foreign Office. In addition to quoting what the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, the telegram also asked him to report to the Chinese Communist delegation and the passengers on board.
The aircraft is protected to avoid any accidents.
In this way, Governor Grantham actually heard two statements. One statement came from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that Taiwanese secret agents might obstruct and disrupt the Chinese delegation's itinerary. The other statement came from the president of the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch.
Huang Zuozhu said that Taiwan's secret agents would plant bombs on the plane carrying the Chinese delegation. The two statements are completely different.
After weighing the matter, Governor Grantham certainly believed the statements of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the British Foreign Office. There was no doubt about this. He believed that Huang Zuozhu only said that Taiwan was going to blow up the Chinese Communist delegation in order to attract his attention.
Charter flight. He felt that this statement was exaggerated.
Therefore, Governor Grantham called the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Maxwell and asked him to strengthen the security of some members of the CCP delegation who had arrived in Hong Kong, and also to strengthen the security around Kai Tak Airport and the chartered flights of the CCP delegation.
Police force was deployed to prevent outsiders from approaching the aircraft and interfering with and disrupting the CCP delegation’s itinerary.
In this way, the fate of the "Kashmir Princess" plane and some members of the Chinese Communist delegation who were to board the plane was decided.
At this time, Director Chen in Beijing, Premier Zhou in Kunming, and Du Ziyuan in Hong Kong were unaware of the error that had occurred. But they were all worried about the plane and the people who would take it.
That night, almost all the people separated in these three places had no sleep all night.
The next morning, following the steps stipulated in the "Star" plan, Du Ziyuan and Chu Bolin arrived at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport very early with several comrades. They were distributed throughout the place and closely observed the situation inside and outside the airport.
Kai Tak Airport was the largest airport in Asia at the time, connecting the east, west, north and south of Asia. The tall terminal of the airport was always bustling, with countless passengers flowing in and out like a tide.
Du Ziyuan was worried and had no idea what would happen in this critical link today. He understood that in the "Star" plan, today was the only place and time that he could not fully control.
He and Chu Bolin carefully observed the surrounding situation. At least so far, they had not found any abnormality. For them, the absence of abnormality was precisely the biggest abnormality.
At nine o'clock, Du Ziyuan and Chu Bolin walked through the entire waiting hall and turned into a secluded corridor. After several turns, they came to a more secluded place. They stood in the corner and paid attention to the entrance and exit of the airport employees in front.
People who fly frequently will sometimes see a small group of flight attendants walking past in the terminal. They are dressed in neat uniforms, carrying bags or dragging suitcases. They all end up here and enter the airport from here.
Inside. This is the entrance and exit for internal staff or flight personnel.
At this time, some employees wearing airport uniforms were coming in and out of here. Every person coming in and out must be strictly inspected here. Their bags will be opened and looked through, and the inspectors will pat their pockets and waists at will.
Two other police officers stood nearby and watched.
In the "Star" plan formulated by Director Chen, two situations may occur here. One is that the explosive devices carried by Taiwanese secret agents are discovered, which is the best result. The follow-up actions of the "Star" plan will start from this point. This is also
Du Ziyuan's main purpose of coming here.
However, there is another situation where nothing is found. At this time, Du Ziyuan cannot take further action and has to go to another observation point.
If this happens, then we can only rely on the Hong Kong police stationed near the plane.
There are two situations that may occur near the plane. One is that the agent who attempted to plant the bomb was discovered and arrested by the Hong Kong police who were on guard. This is also the best result. It can be said that both the person and the stolen goods will be rewarded. The next step of the "Star" plan
, will also start here. But! But! There is another situation where nothing is found. No bomb is found, and no person who installed the bomb is found!
This is the worst result. There are also two possibilities. One is that the Taiwanese secret agents failed to bring the bomb into the airport, which would greatly undermine the entire "Star" plan. The other possibility is that the bomb has been installed on the aircraft.
It was inside, but the police and airport staff at the scene did not notice it!
That would be a catastrophe! Du Ziyuan would feel fear in his heart when he thought of this possibility.
Du Ziyuan understood that if the spy who planted the bomb was not caught next to the plane, then the "Star" plan could still be implemented, but the comrades on the plane...! Hey! Du Ziyuan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Now, he looked at the airport employee entrance and exit, hoping for a miracle there. But it had been quiet there. The airport employees passed the inspection and still came in and out smoothly. Two Hong Kong police officers were wandering nearby.
At 10:45, Du Ziyuan already felt that no more miracles would happen here. He and Chu Bolin went to the terminal upstairs. Through the large glass windows, he could see the entire situation in the airport clearly.
Below him was the passenger entrance. Next to the entrance, there was a police car parked. Four or five police officers were standing beside the car smoking cigarettes. He looked to the left, and there was the airport gate. There were also parked there.
In a police car, there were four or five police officers standing beside the car, smoking and chatting. He was curious, why did the police at the airport arrange it like this?
Little did he know that this was exactly what Governor Grantham told Police Commissioner Maxwell. The CCP delegation would board the plane here, and Governor Ge was very worried that people from the Taiwanese Kuomintang would attack the airport and obstruct the CCP's mission.
People board the plane, causing chaos and even bloodshed. The police in the airport are set up for this.
At this time, Chu Bolin touched Du Ziyuan's arm and gestured to the distance.
Du Ziyuan looked up and saw that a large plane was landing on the runway and taxiing towards this side. He knew that this was the "Kashmir Princess" and it was coming. He looked at his watch and saw that it was now eleven twenty
. He understood that the next hour or so would be very important.
This was a big plane, and it roared to a stop outside the terminal. The plane's engine was turned off, and there was only the sound of wind from the propeller outside the window. For a moment, even this amazing wind sound stopped.
Du Ziyuan looked at the huge plane carefully. The policemen next to the plane also looked back at the plane.
In the distance, two luggage trucks and a fuel tanker truck were approaching. Then, a small team of ground staff came towards the plane carrying tools. Several Air India staff members walked to the side of the plane and watched.
At this time, Du Ziyuan paid more attention to the situation next to the plane. Several nearby police officers also looked towards the plane. Du Ziyuan very much hoped that they could walk over and observe closely. But the policemen just stood and watched from a distance, always watching.
Didn't walk over.
The ground staff were busy, inspecting the aircraft, adding water and fuel to the aircraft. Someone was moving luggage into the luggage compartment. Another luggage truck drove over. To be honest, Du Ziyuan could not see anything suspicious while standing here observing.
