Chapter 3463 Djibouti Base

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The person in charge of the response in Djibouti is named Harris, a member of the Vitak intelligence team.

    After Lin Rui and others got off the plane, Harris transported them directly to the city by car.

    In the car, Lin Rui asked him directly, "Is there any special information about this mission?"

    Harris nodded and said, "Before the war on terrorism began, the French Army recruited mercenaries from 140 countries around the world, and a new generation of foreign mercenaries have gradually joined the French Foreign Legion.

    Most of them are undergoing rigorous military training in French Guiana.  The sources of soldiers mainly come from some former Soviet republics, Colombia and Brazil in Latin America, and a small number of soldiers come from China. The number of Americans has always been very small, accounting for only about 1% of the total.

    ¡°One of our intelligence officers is very familiar with several officers in the French camp.  Soldiers need to train hard all the time, but officers have it much easier.

    Every night, French army officers gather together, and the officers drink Provence red wine and talk together.  They like to brag about what missions they carried out, how many terrorists they killed, and so on.

    Several officers also mentioned the things you mentioned.  It is said that the terrorists are likely to have some kind of virus weapon, because they seized several virus storage cans in the terrorist camp.

    I saw those cans when they were being transported. Each one was about the size of an oxygen tank.  It looks quite elegant from a distance. There is a sign of biochemical pollution on it. I don¡¯t know what it is for.  "

    "Have you seen those jars?" Lin Rui asked curiously.

    "Of course, when they brought it over, no one knew what it was. The level of alert was not as high as it was later. I saw them carrying it into the base.

    ¡°But later I heard that they hired several experts to identify the jars, and then the situation began to change.  "

    "Has there been any change in the French army's response?" Lin Rui asked alertly.

    Harris nodded and said, "Yeah, the security level has been raised several levels, and we can't enter the base at will. You also know that during the war on terrorism, our company provided logistics support for them. So we can enter and exit the base freely.  , but after this incident, even we couldn¡¯t go in.

    French experts came twice, but failed to come up with any new insights. They just talked about how this thing could be related to the American virus research center.

    But the specific situation is still unclear.  These jars were sealed and tightly protected in a small warehouse inside the base.  There are people on duty 24 hours a day.  It is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it.  "

    "If we want to approach silently, is there any way you can use it?" Lin Rui asked.

    "Yes, and there are more than one." Harris whispered, "I will tell you in detail when we get to the station."

    Lin Rui nodded.

    Djibouti, which means "boiling steamer" in the Afar language, is located on the west coast of the Gulf of Aden in northeastern Africa, where the Red Sea meets the Indian Ocean. It borders Somalia to the southeast, Ethiopia to the southwest, west and northwest, and Ethiopia to the north.  Borders Eritrea.

    Because Djibouti is an important French military base in the Indian Ocean-Red Sea region.  There are 3,800 to 4,500 French troops stationed there, which is actually more than the army in Djibouti itself.

    This is stipulated in a provisional military protocol signed by the Djibouti government and the French government on June 27, 1977.

    The French Army in Kyrgyzstan has 2 combat regiments and a mobile company of the Parachute Regiment; the Navy has a naval unit to reinforce the Indian Ocean Fleet, a commando team and a communications listening station; the Air Force has a fighter fleet and a helicopter transport group.

    France provides logistical assistance to the Djiboutian army and dispatches military cooperation personnel to help Djibouti maintain national security and train military personnel.

    This country is also a bit strange.  Since Djibouti became independent from France in 1977, France has not withdrawn its troops. Today, Djibouti still hosts France's largest overseas military base.

    Not only France, the United States also stationed troops in 2001, making Djibouti the largest overseas military base of the United States.

    In 2009, Japan stationed here on the pretext of combating Somali pirates, and it became Japan¡¯s first overseas military base after World War II.

    In July 2017, China established a support base at the invitation of Djibouti.

    Other countries, such as Russia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, etc., have also built small military bases here, called military facilities.

    The total strength of the troops is about 20,000. If you include supporting logistics support personnel and business people,The number is over 100,000.  Djibouti's own national army is only 3,000 people.

    Whether it is the number of countries with garrison troops or the number of garrison troops, little Djibouti is the largest in the world.

    The reason is actually very simple.  Because this country is more important than its geographical location.  In fact, there is nothing, very poor.

    Therefore, a large part of Djibouti¡¯s fiscal revenue comes from the rent of military garrisons and supporting facilities in various countries. Taking the United States as an example, the base rent is US$64 million per year.  Therefore, Djibouti is jokingly called a base economy internationally.

    As the former sovereign state of Djibouti, France has had military bases in the country for more than 100 years.  Although France also has military bases in other African countries, it is particularly partial to Djibouti.

    The number of troops stationed in Kyrgyzstan is the largest, and its number has long been one-third to one-half of the number of French troops stationed in Africa.  Currently, there are approximately 1,500 French troops in Djibouti.

    This base is quite large compared to bases in other countries.

    Lin Rui and others are no strangers to the French military base in Djibouti.  Harris even stayed there for a long time.

    Their temporary residence is a local residence not far from the French military base.  After settling down, Harris, Lin Rui and others sat down.

    Harris took out a large map.  "This map is a topographic map of the French army base. It is quite comprehensive. We obtained it when we were doing base maintenance and support for the French army. In addition to various facilities, there are even several toilets clearly marked on it.  "

    After Lin Rui took it, he nodded, "What about their defense status?"

    ¡°I made some notes on it, but most of them were from a few months ago. They recently increased the security level and may have added some additional security guards at some locations.

    ¡°However, no matter how the security of such bases is improved, there are traces to follow.  My people are already gradually inquiring about the specific situation.  You have just arrived today, so you can take a rest and there will be definite news tomorrow morning.  We will determine the next step at that time.  ¡± Harris replied.
