"Please follow me." The second lieutenant officer nodded to Lin Rui. After driving him with him, we came all the way to the headquarters.
"The base commander is waiting for you inside." After getting off the car, the second lieutenant nodded to Lin Rui.
After Lin Rui knocked on the door and walked into the office opposite, he found that the commander was a black man.
Seeing Lin Rui come in, the black man stood up and came over to shake hands with him. "I'm Miles, the base manager."
"Hello general." Lin Rui nodded to him.
"Are you from the base security assessment team?" the black officer looked at him and asked.
"Yes, General." Lin Rui replied.
General Miles looked at him and hesitated for a while, "Then I want you to tell me why the Ministry of Defense suddenly sent a security assessment team here. And I didn't receive any report in advance."
"I think the general has received the report from the Ministry of Defense, otherwise he would not see me here. Our company is a military security contractor, providing military training, logistics communications, base security and other services.
We just received the entrustment contract and acted in accordance with the contract. I don't know the specific reason. Lin Rui replied calmly.
"Security situation assessments have not happened before, but they will be notified in advance. But why is it so sudden this time? Are you really security experts?" General Miles gave him a suspicious look.
"There should be no doubt about our identity, the general can check it." Lin Rui replied.
They came as a base security assessment team this time. Under the operation of Mr. K, they followed formal procedures. So he is not afraid. The other party checks his identity.
"Don't worry, we've checked it." General Miles nodded. "Well, since you are all following orders, I don't have anything to say. I just feel something strange happened suddenly, so I came to ask you.
Follow Lieutenant Hill and they will issue you and your men temporary permission to enter various areas of the base. If you have any other needs, you can tell him or tell me directly. "
"Thank you, General." Lin Rui nodded.
"One more thing, I don't want to cause any trouble. I have no intention of interfering with your assessment and judgment, but I hope not to interfere with the normal order of the base." General Miles added.
"Of course." Lin Rui nodded.
"In fact, I think this is completely unnecessary. The various security measures at this base are the most complete, and the U.S. Navy can solve its own problems." General Miles was somewhat disapproving. "I don't understand why they ask a private military company like yours to step in and conduct a security assessment."
"Maybe we have our own strengths." Lin Rui smiled.
"Maybe. But no matter what, our navy and air force are the best." General Miles replied.
"I don't want to deny this. But I also want to remind the general of a fact.
The USS Card is an escort aircraft carrier built by the United States Navy during World War II. The "Borg" class belonging to the United States was rebuilt in 1942 from the hull of the C-3 standard cargo ship. It has a length of 151.2 meters, a draft of 7.9 meters, and a speed of 18 knots.
The defensive firepower of the entire ship consists of only two 127mm single-barrel guns and several 40mm 20mm guns. The number of carrier-based aircraft is 28.
On May 2, 1964, Vietnamese special agent team frogmen sank the USS Card aircraft carrier in Saigon Port.
In 1968, a 15,000-ton U.S. oil tanker was blown up and sunk by three frogmen while replenishing oil for two U.S. divisions in the Quang Tri area, which seriously affected U.S. military operations.
Throughout the Vietnam War, North Vietnamese frogmen destroyed more than a thousand U.S. and South Vietnamese warships. Faced with the intrusion of North Vietnamese frogmen, the U.S. military even began training dolphin troops to specifically search for frogmen.
Since then, your army¡¯s security and defense of the naval base has been raised to a very high level.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the anti-terrorism mission of maritime platforms received more attention. On the one hand, it was based on the background of the world situation at that time: the rise of anti-government armed forces and anti-American activities targeting the United States and Western countries, resulting in the rise of U.S. overseas The region is frequently intimidated and attacked by various terrorist forces, and the United States has also paid a heavy price in casualties.
On the other hand, special operations to combat terrorism became a mainstream trend around the world at that time. Continuously improving its anti-terrorism operations platform and strengthening the combat capabilities of anti-terrorism forces became the main direction for the development of U.S. special forces at that time.
1983 The U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon was bombedThe incident exposed serious security risks at U.S. military bases overseas.
In fact, as early as 1982, the kidnapping of General Sieg at a U.S. military base in Germany had already demonstrated the loopholes in the U.S. military base's own defense and the existence of various institutional shortcomings.
Several incidents have made the commanders of the Navy and Marine Corps feel uneasy and pressured. For this reason, the Navy has put forward its own ideas: Instead of passively waiting for terrorist attacks, it is better to actively strengthen the security defense of its own bases.
So a highly classified 14-person U.S. Navy counterterrorism unit was born, which the military called Red Blood Cell Team Six.
That is to say, the U.S. Marine Corps Ship Anti-Terrorism Security Force Fast is a special force dedicated to providing ship security for the Navy. Lin Rui smiled. "General, although the U.S. Navy is powerful, it also exposes the security risks of U.S. military overseas bases from the side."
We are not here to cause trouble, we are here to provide an objective and fair assessment of the security situation of this base. And submit this assessment to the Department of Defense, and that's it. "
General Miles looked at Lin Rui and nodded slowly, "I can see that Mr. Rick is quite professional."
"Farewell, general." Lin Rui nodded to him, turned and left.
The second lieutenant officer Hill outside took Lin Rui and others to another room and made temporary identity cards for them to enter the base in time.
With this card, they become military employees with special permission to enter some highly sensitive areas of the base.
Of course, the premise is that someone must accompany you throughout the process. Major Hill and several other US troops were responsible for accompanying them in inspection and evaluation.
Lin Rui didn't care about this. He only cared about how to find Cobain quickly. Originally, their so-called inspection and evaluation was just an excuse.
The top priority is to find the secret society militants hiding in the nearby waters and Cobain, who is held hostage by them.
So Lin Rui didn't care at all whether there was anyone following him. In fact, Lieutenant Hill could provide a lot of convenience by following them.
