Returning to Navy headquarter, after meeting Liu Changxun, Bai Zhizhan learned that the garrison had just sent the latest investigative report from Lion Spring City.
The preliminary hypothesis was that bombers had laid the mines in Lion Spring Strait.
Indeed, they were long-range bombers that had flown in from Aus.
This clue came from the fact that in the preceding days, radars deployed in Lion Spring City had detected unidentified flying objects at night. Since the objects had not approached Lion Spring City and were flying at particularly low altitudes, the air force stationed in Lion Spring City had not been dispatched to clarify the identity of these flying objects.
In the submitted reports, radar operators had identified the detections as interferences caused by ocean waves.
It was for this reason that these reports had not been taken seriously.
