The man on the other end of the line spoke with an extremely confident tone.

The airport manager asked the tower's technical director.

"This line belongs to the Civil Aviation Administration, right? How did they get connected?"

McLean next to him answered with a look of disdain:

"This is a start. This is the guy who changed a plug in your tower."

McClane was patient enough with these stupid teammates, and he had a good temper by not swearing.

The airport manager immediately opened the communication channel to communicate with the other party.

"who are you?"

The man's tone became frivolous.

“It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is what I want.”

"If you don't want those planes in the sky to run out of fuel and crash into the lawn in front of the White House, then you should know what I want is very important."

"In 58 minutes, a plane will land at this airport. The code is FM1. I think you all know what it stands for."

"I'm sure you all understand the importance of the people on board those planes in the sky, and I ask that everyone not approach that plane."

"It must land on the runway I specify. I think I have made it very clear, including my requirements and the consequences if you refuse."

"At the same time, I want a fully fueled 747 converted cargo plane, ready to take my orders at any time."

"I'll only give you two minutes to notify incoming aircraft to maintain their heading."

"Then you will only be able to receive, not send communications."

"If you try to fix the system, you will face severe penalties."

Police Inspector Lorenzo reminded the airport manager.

"He must be bluffing."

The airport manager immediately complained to the other side:

"Damn it, you can't do this, there are thousands of people in the sky..."

“Hehe, I’m already doing that.”

Then the call was immediately disconnected.

The airport manager remained silent, and other staff in the tower were looking at him, waiting for his orders.

At this time, Police Inspector Lorenzo stepped forward to communicate with the airport manager.

"They must be nearby to invade our lines. Let me take some people to catch these rats."

McClane looked at Captain Lorenzo with disdain.

"Look at how much time they gave you? Two minutes. Are all your men supermen?"

This wave of taunting also annoyed Police Chief Lorenzo.

Immediately responded to McLean.

"Hey, Sheriff of Los Angeles, I have a Level 1 tactical team here, a SWAT team, you know, I don't need second-guessing."

McClane was so angry at this idiot that he swore.

"Fuck your damn hindsight, my wife's plane is waiting in the sky too."

Both of them got angry and quarreled.

Inspector Lorenzo was so angry after being scolded by McLean that he used his power to drive the people away... No one was allowed to enter the control tower...

Luke knew it was time for him to step up.

So he walked up to the three people and showed his ID.

"I am from the Unusual Incidents Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I am now assuming command here on the orders of Attorney General Jack Dougherty and President James Marshall."

Luke's declaration not only shocked the two airport managers, but also dumbfounded McClane.

No, buddy, you should have told me earlier that you have this identity. I have spitted so much for nothing...

Then, Luke took out the faxed document he received from the policewoman from his arms.

It was shown to the two persons in charge of the airport.

Police Chief Lorenzo was still a little unconvinced, so he took Luke's file and looked at it carefully.

But he had never seen the signatures of the Attorney General and the President.

So he looked at Luke with suspicion and said:

"I'm going to verify the authenticity of the document."

Luke smiled and nodded at him.

"This is your right, but I want to remind you that every minute and every second is important now. Thousands of people in the sky can't afford to waste your time."

"Whatever you do, you have to bear the consequences."

After saying this, without even looking at Inspector Lorenzo's sullen face, he said to the airport manager with a serious face:

"Now, have your people leave the tower. I am officially taking over the command here."

The airport manager was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Luke's arrangement.

Before Officer Lorenzo could say anything, Luke shouted at him:

"Captain Lorenzo, I'm officially notifying you now. Get out of here right now."

Police Chief Lorenzo looked at Luke angrily, then turned and left.

The airport director gave orders to the tower staff.

All staff left the tower one after another.

The airport manager was about to leave, but was stopped by Luke.

"I need you to be a witness here."

The airport manager nodded expressionlessly.

He didn't understand what Luke was going to do now.

If the tower staff leave, how can we control the planes in the sky?

Luke looked at the tower's instruments and pulled out a data cable and a cell phone from his pocket.

After connecting to the instrument, put on the headphones.

"Lilith, can you hear me?"

"The call is clear, boss."

"OK, very good. Now, take full control of the control tower at Washington Dulles Airport and contact the planes above the airport."

"Okay, boss."

Lilith has 20 of the most advanced supercomputers in the world, so this calculation is a piece of cake for her.

All the planes circling over the airport and those about to approach received notification from Lilith.

Lilith obtained the flight parameters of each flight in a timely manner and arranged the next flight plan based on the calculations.

The operation took less than a minute to complete.

McLean and the airport manager were stunned.

Because all of Lilith's communications and intelligent operations were broadcasted inside the tower.

McClane looked at the connected cell phone, then looked at the pager in his hand.

Damn, so embarrassing...

Luke smiled at the embarrassed McClane.

"Your wife makes so much money, but she didn't give you a cell phone?"

McClane said to Luke helplessly:

"I spent all my money on my children. I am just a police officer, but I can't even afford the phone bills. Damn these telecom operators..."

"Hey, John, I have to remind you that I am also one of those damned telecom operators you mentioned."

"Wodfake? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Luke spread his hands and said, "Just ask your wife and you'll know what my family does."

"Fake..."

The airport manager then reminded Luke.

"Agent, our tower is still being hijacked by terrorists. Can we talk about the telecom operator issue later?"

Luke smiled and waved his hand.

"No rush, Lilith is tracking their signal."

Before Luke could finish, his cell phone rang.

I picked up the phone and heard a steady and powerful voice.

"Luke, this is Frank. We are leaving from Quantico now and will arrive at Dulles Airport in thirty minutes."

"OK, I'll ask Lilith to integrate your communications into the network so we can stay in touch at any time."
