50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 748 Parachute Landing in Jakarta

After approaching Jakarta, the Gulfstream 3 rapidly descended in altitude and reduced its speed, beginning to fly close to the sea surface.

We're about to approach land. There are defensive land-based radars near Jakarta. Although I don't know if the radar station is still on duty, it's safer to land on the sea just to be on the safe side.

What he didn't know was that just 70 kilometers west of Jakarta, next to the Sunda Strait, there was a mountain peak over 1000 meters high, with two houses built all alone on it.

Next to the house, a Soviet-made 5N84 "defense" radar was slowly rotating.

One of the two houses contained a diesel generator that was humming and generating electricity, as well as some stored food and supplies; it was probably a storage room.

Inside another building is a monitoring station, where a veteran who looks to be in his forties or fifties sits alone, recording all movements within a 300-kilometer radius.

Just now, a veteran wrote down a record of a radar signal disappearing on the sea surface.

There was a telephone on the desk where he was writing radar records, which connected directly to the duty room of the Jakarta Air Force Command.

In the past, whenever there was an important discovery, the veterans would call the Jakarta Air Force to report it.

Then, F-5 fighter jets will soon take off from Jakarta Air Base to inspect the suspicious airspace.

But he hasn't been able to get through to the Air Force since three days ago, and he can't leave his post without permission.

Therefore, he could only record all the radar observation results in a notebook over the past few days.

In fact, the air force base in Jakarta has now been occupied by Colonel Latif's troops.

The base did not resist; all personnel were gathered in their dormitories, awaiting the end of the fighting in Jakarta.

The Javanese Air Force in the 80s was not weak. After their falling out with Russia, they imported a series of air force equipment from the West.

其中有加拿大许可证生产的F-86F佩刀战斗机23架，F-5虎式超音速战斗机16架，A-4攻击机30架以及OV-10F轻型攻击机10架。

It is said that Harto was negotiating with America to import F-16s, but before the deal was finalized, Harto and his entire family were killed by Sun Zhiwei.

Hattori was terrified of death back then; he had been assassinated more than once or twice, so he always kept his strongest forces by his side.

For example, of these 79 fighter jets, 20 are stationed on Batam Island to control the Strait of Malacca, while the remaining 59 are all at the Jakarta military base.

After Harto's death, the Air Force outwardly sided with Prabovo, but in reality, they obeyed orders but not direct commands.

Prabowo tried several times to send fighter jets to attack the warships belonging to Colonel Latif in the port of Jakarta, but he was stopped by the air force generals.

Those opportunists in the Air Force don't want to offend either side; they just want to wait for the outcome to be decided.

Prabovo couldn't do anything about them, but he didn't dare offend these big shots in the Air Force. Not only could he not offend them, he also had to support them to prevent the Air Force from being forced into Colonel Latif's camp.

Nobody would believe that the Air Force had no one in contact with Colonel Latif's side; it's just that Latif's side was short of money and couldn't afford to support those big shots in the Air Force.

Now that Prabovo has passed away, Colonel Latif has gained a decisive advantage, and the Air Force's opportunists naturally surrendered immediately.

A small passenger plane glides swiftly across the sea off Jakarta.
Ahead lay the coastline. Captain Ivan, piloting the Gulfstream III, chose a landing site in a deserted forest area.

On the plane, upon hearing Ivan's greeting, Sun Zhiwei immediately got up, slung his pre-prepared parachute pack over his shoulder, and waited at the cabin door.

First officer and mechanic Gene Julian also left the cockpit and went to the rear cabin to assist Sun Zhiwei in his parachute jump. Soon, the Gulfstream 3 entered land airspace, and Captain Ivan slightly increased the altitude and began level flight.

First Officer Julian opened the side door, and a gust of wind rushed into the cabin. Sun Zhiwei and Julian grabbed the door handle and waited for the airflow to subside.

After a while, the strong winds subsided, and Sun Zhiwei put on his goggles and walked to the cabin door.

Julian gave him a final safety check before giving him a thumbs-up to indicate that everything was ready. Sun Zhiwei nodded and jumped out of the hatch.

A few minutes later, Sun Zhiwei landed in a clearing in the woods.

When he looked up at the sky, he saw the Gulfstream 3 make a turn and was heading back.

Jakarta is still a war zone, and Sun Zhiwei was afraid that the Gulfstream III would be shot down, so he did not allow them to stay, but instead sent Ivan to fly the plane directly back to Anatahan Island.

Watching the Gulfstream 3 sail away, Sun Zhiwei used his spatial ability to collect the scattered parachutes before heading towards the beach.

This forest is 100 kilometers away from Jakarta city, and he will have to walk the rest of the way by himself, and he will have to go faster.

If he were to proceed through the jungle, he would inevitably encounter many small towns along the way, and there would be too many unpredictable factors. Therefore, he chose to drive a speedboat along the coastline.

Soon, a speedboat cut through the sea and headed towards Jakarta.

Jakarta.

Colonel Latif's troops had completely surrounded the port area, and his two Ahmedyani-class frigates were monitoring the three Hatto-affiliated Tiyahahu-class frigates off the coast of the port.

At this time, the two sides did not go to war because Colonel Latif's negotiating team had already entered the port.

Although Colonel Latif was confident of annihilating the 2 remaining Hatto soldiers, casualties were inevitable.

If he could win them over without bloodshed, it would be a significant boost to his own strength.

Moreover, this was also something he was doing for all Hatos to see; he wouldn't exterminate the Hatos.

When Sun Zhiwei arrived in Jakarta, negotiations were still ongoing; such negotiations, which would determine the fate of tens of thousands of people in Jakarta, could not be completed so quickly.

After arriving, Sun Zhiwei quickly learned about the current situation in Jakarta.

All fighting in Jakarta has ceased. Although tensions remain high, apart from a few looters, all regular troops are awaiting the outcome of negotiations.

After dark, the negotiating team left the port to report back to Colonel Latif on the progress of the negotiations, which would continue the next day.

Today, the biggest achievement for both sides is the decision to implement a complete ceasefire.

The five escort ships that had been confronting each other at sea returned to port and anchored. The troops on both sides retreated a street, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

Sun Zhiwei ignored these troops; they were all puppets being commanded and couldn't determine the overall situation.

He first found Colonel Latif in a villa next to the city hall.

That was Latif's temporary base, heavily guarded. If Sun Zhiwei hadn't had the ability to dig, he really wouldn't have been able to get in.
