At this time, Du Ziyuan turned around and immediately saw several members of the Chinese delegation entering the waiting hall and walking towards the immigration gate. Among these people, he saw Huang Zuozhu carrying a suitcase.
Du Ziyuan walked toward the entry gate uneasily. Huang Zuozhu also saw him and walked towards him.
The surroundings were very noisy and people were coming and going. They just shook hands but said nothing.
They all turned their heads and looked out the window at the "Kashmir Princess" plane that was about to take off. Several members of the Chinese delegation were loading large and small luggage into the plane. The ground staff were still inspecting the plane and preparing it for the flight.
Fuel and water. Hong Kong police and Air India managers stood nearby and watched. Everything seemed normal there.
Du Ziyuan was in great pain. To be honest, he didn't see anything unusual. Everything was so normal. This was what frightened him the most. He couldn't help but wonder whether the hidden Taiwanese spies had brought explosive devices.
Has it entered the airport? Or, it has been brought in. But did they place it or not? He was not sure.
Time passed little by little. Du Ziyuan's heart was still tortured by pain and anxiety.
What worries him is whether he can tell all members of the delegation to leave the plane? Can he do this? If everyone leaves but no explosive device is found on the plane, then the "Star" plan will completely fail.
!But what if the explosive device has been placed on the plane by a Taiwanese spy disguised as a ground crew? Then, the lives of all delegation members will be seriously threatened!
Du Ziyuan's face was twisted with pain and anxiety. He kept gritting his teeth.
Huang Zuozhu saw his face and said softly: "Lao Du, don't worry too much, everything will be fine."
Du Ziyuan stared at him, as if he wanted to see something from his face. But Huang Zuozhu's face was very calm, as if this was an ordinary trip and there was nothing to worry about.
Huang Zuozhu held his hand again and said, "Lao Du, the luggage is almost finished loading. It's time for me to leave."
But Du Ziyuan held his hand tightly and refused to let go.
He said softly: "Old Huang, maybe this plane... is not very safe."
Huang Zuozhu looked at him quietly, with heaviness hidden in his calm eyes. He said softly: "Lao Du, don't worry." He thought for a moment and then said: "We are all revolutionaries, and if we want to revolution, there will be sacrifices.
.I'm ready. Okay, bye. I'm leaving."
Huang Zuozhu almost broke away from Du Ziyuan's hand, took a few steps back, waved to him, and then walked towards the boarding gate. He walked smoothly and unhurriedly. Du Ziyuan kept wondering in his heart whether Huang Zuozhu was
I know that this flight will be a disaster.
Later, Du Ziyuan learned that Huang Zuozhu said goodbye to his six-month-pregnant wife in this way last night. He said: "We are all revolutionaries. If you want revolution, there will be sacrifices. I am ready. You
We need to take more care and take good care of our children."
No one knows whether Huang Zuozhu knows some of the real situation. This is an eternal secret!
Later, when the police were investigating the bombing of the "Kashmir Princess", the captain who narrowly escaped mentioned such a detail. After the explosion, the plane was descending sharply. The flight attendants on the plane were running around in panic. Only the representative of the Chinese Communist Party
The members of the group sat firmly in their seats and did not move.
This detail was noticed many years later. But no one understood what this detail meant.
Therefore, as I write this, I dare not speak lightly.
At this time, the inspection and maintenance work of the aircraft was about to end. The busy ground staff began to pack up tools and clean up the site. The luggage trucks and fuel tankers had already left separately. The person in charge of the ground staff was signing the report. The nearby Hong Kong police and Air India were working
The personnel were still standing in the distance, watching boredly as the plane was about to depart.
Huang Zuozhu, on the other hand, was walking towards the plane calmly. He slowly boarded the plane, looked back at Du Ziyuan, and then entered the cabin. The cabin door was closed behind him.
In Du Ziyuan's heart, that door is like the door to hell. Once closed, it will never be opened again.
For a moment, the "Kashmir Princess" aircraft suddenly roared and its propellers made a loud whistling sound. The aircraft slid forward extremely slowly, turned, and headed towards the runway.
Du Ziyuan watched with pain and anxiety as the plane taxied to the runway, then began to accelerate and quickly shot into the sky.
Now, he had the last glimmer of hope left in his heart. Taiwan's secret agents did not bring explosive devices into the airport. He only had this last glimmer of hope. He looked at his watch again. It was now 12:15, which was earlier than the scheduled departure.
The time has advanced by forty-five minutes.
He looked back at Chu Bolin and asked, "How many hours will it take to fly?"
Chu Bolin said softly: "About six hours."
Du Ziyuan nodded, "Okay, let's go back. Go back and wait for news."
In fact, at this time, Zhou Enlai, who was far away in Kunming, and Director Chen in Beijing were also waiting for news. The news they received immediately was that the "Kashmir Princess" had taken off safely. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, they began to wait for news about whether the plane landed safely.
In the afternoon of this day, all relevant people were waiting for news, including Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jiemin in Taipei, as well as Guan Jinzhou and Chen Yintang sitting at No. 37 Komiao Street, Hong Kong. None of them wanted to speak, they just waited in silence.
.
At this time, Zuo Shaoqing, who lived on Paozhan Street, also noticed the anxious expression on Zeng Shaowu's face.
She asked calmly: "Mr. Zeng, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Zeng Shaowu shook his head vigorously but did not want to speak. But he still could not shake off the anxiety in his heart.
Zuo Shaoqing said: "Mr. Zeng, there is something on your mind that can hardly be kept any longer. How long do you want to hide it from me?"
Zeng Shaowu said softly: "Young Master Zuo, the plane the CCP delegation is on has taken off now."
Zuo Shaoqing understood immediately. She said calmly: "Is this your 'Operation No. 1'?"
Zeng Shaowu stared at her with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, this is it!"
Zuo Shaoqing stared at him sternly and asked in a hoarse voice: "You planted a bomb on the plane!"
Zeng Shaowu also stared at her sternly, "Yes! Now, I don't have to hide it from you. We planted the bomb!"
Zuo Shaoqing turned his head and looked at the vast sky outside the window, trying his best to control the anger in his heart.
Only then did she know what "Operation No. 1" formulated by the Taiwan Secrecy Bureau was. She thought about it again and again, and finally realized that she had no way to do anything about it! She was powerless to stop it! She could only endure it at this time.
She could feel that Zeng Shaowu's gloomy eyes had been staring at her! Bastard!
At 5:45 that afternoon, Premier Zhou Enlai stood in front of the window of the living room of Longyun Mansion, looking out the window anxiously. The green grass and lush vegetation outside the window were pleasing to the eye. But Premier Zhou's mood could not be relaxed.
At this time, a staff member walked up to him and whispered: "Prime Minister, there is a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A few minutes ago, the 'Kashmir Princess' plane on which the Chinese delegation was traveling lost contact with the Singapore Airport."
Premier Zhou Enlai looked back at him with an extremely serious look on his face. He said: "Has it been verified?" He waved his hand as if to take back this sentence. He added: "Tell them to contact Singapore and Indonesia immediately to find out the situation as soon as possible.
.Also, turn on the radio and listen to what news there is!"
At around 6:15 p.m., British Reuters first released the news: "The Air India C-69 passenger plane 'Kashmir Princess' crashed in the sea northwest of North Borneo on its way from Hong Kong to Jakarta. The plane crashed into
At sea, the whereabouts of the eleven passengers on the plane, including Chinese government staff and foreign journalists, as well as the eight crew members of the plane are unknown, and they are all feared to have died."
This is the "Kashmir Princess" plane bombing that shocked China and the world.
At this time, Premier Zhou Enlai immediately summoned Wang Zhuoru, Secretary-General of the delegation, and asked him to call Dong Yueqian, Director of the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to ask how he handled the emergency instructions from the Prime Minister on the evening of April 9.
Dong Yueqian answered on the phone that he would call Hong Kong Huang Zuozhu according to the Prime Minister's instructions that night, and ask Huang to inform the Hong Kong authorities and the Air India office in Hong Kong, asking them to ensure the safety of the aircraft. The next day, at 8 a.m. on the 10th,
At that time, he reported to Deputy Director Zhang Wentian. Because the British Charge d'Affaires in China, William Du, went to Shanghai and did not return, at 9:30 a.m. on the 10th, Deputy Director Zhang Yue made an appointment with the Counselor of the British Charge d'Affaires, Altis, to inform him of the above.
Premier Zhou Enlai didn't speak for a long time after hearing this answer. He felt that there was something he didn't know about.
At this time, the news about the crash of the "Kashmir Princess" had alarmed the main members of the delegation. They all gathered in the main living room to discuss how to deal with the "Kashmir Princess" incident next.
Zhang Hanfu and Qiao Guanhua suggested to Premier Zhou that they immediately ask Vice Minister Zhang Wentian to preside over the preparation of a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a note to the British Agency, pointing out that the British government and the Hong Kong authorities bear serious responsibilities for this and must be seriously investigated. Chiang Kai-shek who was involved in this matter will be
Prosecution of the arrest of special agents.
Premier Zhou nodded in agreement. He asked Zhang Yue on the phone to ask Itis what measures the Hong Kong authorities had taken after he received Zhang Yue's notice on April 10. Premier Zhou also specifically explained that in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement and to
The British agency's note should truthfully write down the content of Zhang Yue's notice to Isis on the morning of April 10, as well as Isis' reply about the measures taken by Hong Kong. Finally, in the note, the Hong Kong authorities were asked to focus on investigating airport personnel.
