In just one day after the crisis broke out, the relevant departments had taken action and had fully launched an investigation into the incident.

"Dick (the nickname of Richard Cheney), in short, that's probably the case. In terms of the Intelligence Bureau, I have contacted the person in charge, and the Pentagon has been fully involved. Now the only thing we should do is to stabilize our position and wait patiently for the news from the front line."

"Yes, I personally can't make any better suggestions for your arrangements. - By the way, this incident is really incredible, it's a completely slander out of nothing, but they just have a lot of evidence to prove all these speculations?"

Facing President Wilson's explanation, Richard Cheney, who sat in a soft leather seat with a glass of lemonade in his hand, was still speaking appropriately, but he still expressed his surprise in his words. As a sophisticated politician who has been in politics for many years, Cheney fully understood the president's confusion. To be honest, he thought this matter was simply incredible. What reason would the United States have to do this?

"'Guess', yes, I prefer to hear this word.

But Dick, judging from the current situation, I will definitely have a tough battle on Capitol Hill later, and the media, or everyone in this world, can make them change their existing views? Regarding this matter, I, you, and perhaps most citizens of the United States, will not think that such a thing is in the logic of interest, but the question now is how can we make the whole world believe this."

"But Woodrow, the key now is to investigate. Just find enough solid evidence, right?"

It is different from Mr. President who is meticulous and has a general view. Richard Cheney, who is over 60 years old, still has a trace of old view. Americans of their age find it difficult to accept the reality that the United States is being questioned. They always feel that as the leader of the free world, the United States does not need to explain any of its behaviors or motivations to anyone.

President Wilson, who sometimes works with Cheney, knows this view, but when he thinks about his experience of dealing with it over the past day, he feels that these practices are indeed hasty, but they are really a necessary and wise move.

After all, times are very different now. The most important thing at the moment is to investigate the truth and deal with the crisis. But it is not to ensure the absolute security of the United States of America or some false face, but to clear away suspicion as soon as possible or hide all evidence - if there is any case, the investigation results really prove all doubts...

Since receiving the report, President Woodrow Wilson has not been idle. He has been dealing with this temporary trouble all night. Now he has to deal with the policy inquiries of the members of Congress in a hurry and lacks evidence. This matter made him somewhat annoyed while anxious. However, these negative emotions are useless for the time being. The "citizen representatives" who are usually talking big and entangled with a decree will only jump and shout whenever they encounter anything. But they really understand what the matter means and what impact will it have on the United States?

Thinking of this, the president in the seat curled his mouth slightly, shook his head gently and hummed. He felt that his handling of this incident was indeed decisive, and this was not something that those members who only knew how to cause trouble could do.

Just yesterday afternoon, when he learned of the "scandal" broke out in the Security Council, the scheming Wilson chewed the whole thing carefully and quickly figured out a rough idea. He did not panic or furious in the office. Instead, he guided all actions according to a thoughtful routine.

First, we found Katherine Grant Wilson, the head of the CIA, who was found to seriously criticize the effectiveness of CIA's activities. After all, this incident exposed the inefficiency of US intelligence personnel. The Syrian rebels had so many "ghosts" suspected of YF-23, why did the relevant personnel know nothing about it; secondly, they contacted the Pentagon by phone, and the president asked the Ministry of Defense to search for information immediately, evaluate the threat, and find out as soon as possible what impact the "ghost" fighter jets in the Middle East may have on the combat situation. Finally, the president's responsibility made Wilson pay special attention to the current diplomatic environment. No matter what the real situation is, there must be no publicity mistakes. You can report them at will before the facts are found out, but no government personnel can make inappropriate remarks, nor will it allow for "there is a real thing". For this reason, some coordination was made to independent media and websites.

In terms of his own emotions, Wilson actually did not want this thing that might be a scandal to spread, but this idea is a luxury when the news is completely free and many media are not under control. He can only use all the available manpower to find out the matter as soon as possible before he can have time to consider the next step.

With the unified deployment of the president, just as the eastern coastal areas of North America were bathed in the sunset, outside several time zones, more than a group of unfamiliar faces appeared in western California, which was still clear in the sky.

In the city of Hawthorne, California, the Western Flight Museum on the outskirts of the city welcomed a group of special visitors. The CIA agents wearing sunglasses jumped off the wagon, found the director and headed to the aircraft display site. Around the Pav-2 YF-23 project 2 prototype that had been parked here for a long time, dispersed the few tourists, raised a cordon and launched an investigation in a nearby museum.

On the side of the Western Flight Museum, which was disturbed and chaotic, Edwards Air Force Base, located in the desert in California, was located in the outskirts of the California Desert. A CIA agent also arrived at the periphery of the base in a black vehicle. After passing through the post, he entered the base with a wide area and was spread all over the sensitive facilities. He led an air force lieutenant colonel who came to contact temporarily to go to the flight test research area. He saw the prototype pav-1 parked for a long time in the hangar with the engine and the engine was still placed aside. The person in charge was paced back and forth on the concrete floor outside the hangar, dialing out the phone to echo the situation to the superiors.

Just as the people looking for the prototype of the yf-23 project were in place and the latest news was provided, the third-way raiders had already arrived at San Diego, an important city in the southernmost tip of California, only a few dozen kilometers away from the Mexican border.

After receiving instructions from the headquarters, when investigators arrived in the city and arrived outside the headquarters building of Northrop Grumman, local CIA officials had gathered to stand by here. Unknown state police had blocked the road nearby and prohibited unrelated vehicles from passing through. There was a tension in the air.

Leading a large number of subordinates into the company's office building, almost in a situation of arresting suspects. Cia, who was directly authorized by the president, did not have much concern when searching the headquarters of the world's third largest defense supplier. All investigation methods that would not affect the operation of the company's core business were approved. In order to prevent possible insiders from destroying evidence and put the entire country in a passive manner, like gun agents facing a great enemy were active in the building, and quickly controlled the situation on the scene. The person in charge appeared leisurely in the president's office of Northrop Grumman. It was quite polite, but it was clearly unconventional to ask the company's executive president and the board of directors to "convene and hold a special meeting immediately to discuss how to cooperate with the federal government's comprehensive verification."

Northrop, the American desire supplier that has been established for more than a hundred years, proposed the YF-23 "ghost" plan in the US Atf project, but ultimately failed, and fell into decline after the competition failed. Even though it merged with the same long-standing Grumman Company, it never entered the entire field of military fighter aircraft. Even the aircraft department has not been preserved to this day, but it has still been investigated by CIA storm.

The afternoon before, Katherine Grant, who was flying immediately, was sitting in the CIA branch in Sacramento, the capital of California, and was exploring the overall situation in a temporary office.

As teams of people were moving around, the information flew over like snowflakes. Several subordinates were busy in front of the computer, or answering the phone and recording it. Their expression was a bit cold, and the middle-aged lady with a hint of doubt in her eyes looked at her in front of the sunny office window, using the garden scenery outside the window to calm her mood and stabilize her emotions. She just turned back from time to time to ask about the latest progress of the investigation:

"Since the prototype has been confirmed to be in its original location, what is the progress of Northrop next? Have you controlled all the data servers and handled the staff and obtained the on-site evidence?

Dirk, contact the headquarters immediately, I need to know the latest research progress of the headquarters on Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and McMillan, submit the list of all the personnel sent from the front to the headquarters, so that they can investigate everyone on this and screen out all those who may be involved in this matter."
