The development of things was almost exactly as Xiao Ran predicted.
The two United Airlines cargo planes that Matthew and the others were traveling on were circling back and forth over the Aegean Sea, like two headless flies!
They neither flew into Italian airspace nor the airspace of any surrounding country, and always hovered in international airspace.
Since these were two American planes, there were two groups of American employees led by Matthew.
More importantly, the two cargo planes are said to be filled with priceless top-notch antiques and art.
Among these top antiques and artworks are a large number of priceless treasures stolen by Napoleon from Italy two hundred years ago.
The most valuable among them is the sculpture of Hercules, a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and a top art master.
Under such circumstances, the Italian government and military had absolutely nothing to do with these two United Airlines cargo planes. It was a typical case of throwing a mouse at the enemy!
They simply did not dare to order an attack on these two United Airlines cargo planes, and they were reluctant to do so.
All the Italians can do is to constantly issue instructions, or warnings, through radar.
Let the two United Airlines cargo planes adjust their course, fly to Rome, Italy, land at Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, and undergo inspection by the Italian Art Crime Unit.
Two Italian Air Force fighter jets flew over the Aegean Sea to intercept.
They continued to issue warnings through radar, and even approached and made gestures to ask the two United cargo planes to adjust their course and fly to Rome.
However, the two United Airlines cargo planes turned a deaf ear and continued to circle over the Aegean Sea.
Later, the two Italian Air Force F16 fighters outside simply became accompanying fighters or even bodyguards.
They can only accompany the two United cargo planes in circles in the Aegean Sea, and there is no other way.
Due to the limited fuel tank capacity of the fighter planes, it didn't take long for the first two F16 fighters to fly with them, and they almost ran out of fuel.
They could only turn around and fly to Italy, then return to their local airport to land and refuel.
After a while, the second batch of two Rafale fighter jets flew in at high speed, accompanying the two United Airlines cargo planes.
Seeing the two roaring Rafale fighter jets through the portholes, Matthew and the others in the cargo plane's cabin all laughed.
"Guys, look out the window. The Italians have sent two more Rafale fighter jets to accompany them. These guys are not giving up!"
a company employee shouted with a smile.
Just as he said these words, other people in the two cargo planes saw the two Rafale fighter jets outside.
The next moment, Matthew raised his middle finger.
He put his raised middle finger on the porthole and gestured at the pilot of one of the Rafale fighter jets, his movements full of contempt.
"These Italians are really a bunch of idiots, they are fooled by us."
"They want to snatch those astonishingly valuable antiques and artworks from Sean. Just dream!"
Matthew shouted disdainfully.
Just as he said these words, the pilot of the Italian Rafale fighter jet outside had already seen his extremely insulting gesture.
The Italian fighter pilot was immediately furious, but could do nothing.
At this moment, two F15 fighter jets suddenly flew in from the east coast of the Aegean Sea, heading straight towards the two Rafale fighter jets of the Italian Air Force, menacingly.
They were two fighter jets from the U.S. Navy that took off from a U.S. military base on the east coast of the Aegean Sea and came to escort them.
As soon as the two F15 fighter jets appeared on the radar screen, the captains of the two United Airlines cargo planes immediately reported the news.
The moment they heard the news, Matthew and the others cheered loudly.
"Two US military F15 fighter jets are flying here. They are obviously here to escort. Sean and the others have taken action."
"In fact, there is no need to dispatch naval fighter planes. It would be more interesting to let the Italian Air Force accompany us to visit the Aegean Sea."
"Yes, I really want to see how many fighter planes the Italians will send to accompany us. There is no chance now!"
With these jokes, the laughter in the cabins of the two cargo planes became louder, one after another.
At this moment, the two accompanying Italian Air Force Rafale fighter jets outside suddenly turned around and flew towards Italian airspace.
Without even thinking about it, they must have received a warning from two F15 fighter jets and had no choice but to leave.
The two Rafale fighter jets of the Italian Air Force had just left, and the two F15 fighter jets that had forced them back had roared over and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
In the blink of an eye, the two F15s arrived nearby and began to fly with the two United cargo planes to act as a guard.
Seeing this scene, Matthew picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions to the captains of the two cargo planes.
"Gentlemen, there is no need for us to hover over the Aegean Sea anymore. We will pass through Greek airspace as planned."
"Then enter Turkey, fly all the way to Kazakhstan, and land in the capital of Kazakhstan in the evening."
The next moment, the two captains responded immediately.
"Copy that, gentlemen, let's go to West Asia"
Immediately afterwards, the two United cargo planes quickly adjusted their course.
It no longer hovered over the Aegean Sea, but flew straight into Greek airspace.
At the same time, Palazzo Chigi, Rome.
An aide suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office to give the Italian Prime Minister an update.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the U.S. Ambassador to Italy just called to express strong protest against the military's actions over the Aegean Sea."
"The U.S. Ambassador emphasized that the two United Airlines cargo planes over the Aegean Sea were in international airspace and did not carry any prohibited materials."
"The actions taken by the Italian Air Force against the two U.S. cargo planes are unacceptable. He asked us to stop the action immediately, otherwise the United States will counterattack."
Upon hearing this, the Italian Prime Minister's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Just as he was about to say something, another staff member suddenly ran into the office quickly.
"Mr. Prime Minister, two F15 fighter jets that took off from the US military base just arrived over the Aegean Sea and forced back our two Rafale fighter jets."
"Furthermore, the U.S. military fighter jets issued a stern warning. In order to avoid an unexpected conflict with the U.S. military, the military decided to abandon the interception plan."
Upon hearing the news, the Italian Prime Minister could no longer bear it.
"boom!"
He slammed his fist on the desk and yelled angrily.
"Those bastards in the Air Force are such a bunch of losers. They couldn't even handle two ordinary cargo planes in a few hours!"
"Now we can only watch helplessly as the masterpieces handed down by the master of art Michelangelo are shipped to China, and we will never get them back again."
"This is all done by that bastard Sean. He used money to drive the U.S. government and military to escort his escort operations. It's so damn abominable!"
The two staff members who came to report the news quickly looked at each other with helpless eyes.
They know that what their boss said is absolutely correct.
All of this was done by Sean, that cunning bastard, and it was the huge magic of money that was at work.
But what’s the use of knowing? What can be changed?
The answer is, nothing changes!
Just as the two United Airlines cargo planes finished circling and flew towards Greece.
The three Air China cargo planes actually responsible for the escort mission have successfully flown into Russian airspace.
The next voyage will be smooth sailing.
Xiao Ran, who was in Paris, immediately received the message from Ambassador Lu.
The moment he received the news, his heart that was hanging high in his throat finally let go.
At this moment, Anthony's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, the Polish ambassador to France has brought people over again. He wants to meet and talk to you. Can you meet these Poles?"
Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said disdainfully:
"I'm very busy now and don't have time to meet any Poles. Please ask them to go back!"
"Don't forget to tell the Polish ambassador to take care of his own people, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
After the words fell, Anthony responded with a smile:
"Got it, I'll tell the Poles"
