- "Where is this?" Lin Rui looked at the satellite image.
"Here." Captain Lu Qi said to Lin Rui. "Actually, our base belongs to the Chagos Archipelago, a total of 2,300 large and small tropical islands. Diego Garcia at the southern end is where we are.
There are Egmont Islands in the southwest, Salomon Islands in the northeast, and multiple islands in the north such as Peruvian Islands, Badanhos Islands, etc. There are many islands and reefs around.
If it is to hide a small ship, it is indeed possible. But if it is a large or medium-sized ship. It will definitely be discovered by our air patrol.
But then again, if you want to attack the Diego Garcia Island base, let alone small ships, you must at least have a fleet. "Captain Lucci said with a smile.
¡°Then let¡¯s say that there is such a group of reckless terrorists who plan to enter this island to cause destruction. So they deliberately took a small boat to a nearby island to avoid your surveillance.
If it were you, where do you think they would settle? Lin Rui frowned and asked, "With so many islands and reefs around, there must be one that is the most suitable place for them to settle." "
Captain Lucci thought for a while, "If that's the case, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose the Solomon Islands."
"Solomon Islands?" Lin Rui looked at the map and asked, "Why?"
"The Solomon Islands I'm talking about are not the ones in the Pacific Ocean, but part of the Chagos Islands. The location is here. It's actually quite simple because the location is good." Captain Lucci pointed at the map and said, "Look, this is the Solomon Islands. . Located in the northeastern part of the Chagos Archipelago between Blenheim Reef and Peruvian Banhos Island.
What about this archipelago? It consists of 11 islands in total, with a total land area of ??about 3.5 square kilometers and a lagoon area of ??36 square kilometers.
The main islands are Bodham Island on the edge of the western reef, with a land area of ??1.08 square kilometers; Onlaise Island, with an area of ??0.82 square kilometers. In the southeast, Fukai Island covers an area of ??0.45 square kilometers, and Takamaka Island covers an area of ??0.48 square kilometers. Pas Island in the east covers an area of ??0.28 square kilometers, and Mapu Island covers an area of ??0.04 square kilometers.
This archipelago is covered with coconut trees and palm trees. In the second half of the 18th century, Mauritians came to the atoll to work on coconut plantations.
At that time, there were about 400 residents in the Solomon Islands, and there was a dock, shops, schools, and churches on Bodham Island.
It was originally uninhabited and now all the buildings are hidden in the dense jungle.
So if I were an attacker, I would give priority to this place. Because people have lived here for a long time, which means there should be water on the island.
And those abandoned buildings can be used to hide.
In addition, this island has been designated as a nature reserve in the 1980s. The vegetation on the island is dense and inaccessible.
If it is a small ship, it can be easily concealed. However, I still think this is unlikely.
A small boat, a dozen people. Attack a large military base like Diego Garcia. I don't think it's possible. Captain Lucci shook his head.
"Oh? Why does the captain think it's impossible?" Lin Rui turned his head and looked at him.
"Because of the number of people, the weapons are not enough. A small team of more than a dozen people can only make trouble at best. It cannot be said to be an attack at all.
¡°And with the defense and early warning system of our base, it is impossible for their ships to get close to the surroundings of our base.
The defense system of this base has been comprehensively improved for a long time. If a strange ship approaches, an early warning will definitely be issued. Our interception ships and aircraft will be dispatched to warn and intercept them. They were warned that civilians were not allowed on Diego Garcia.
If the other party does not listen to dissuasion, it will be regarded as a threat. Our ships would move in and, under cover of air strikes, seize the ship and capture all personnel on board. "Captain Lucci said with a smile. "This kind of thing has happened before. "
"Oh, similar incidents have happened before?" Lin Rui asked with a frown.
"Several times, the original indigenous people on the island have been making trouble with us. They said that we have occupied their homes. Several times they made trouble and forced us to land on the island, but we detained them all, but later released them.
After all, they are all unarmed civilians. Captain Lucci shook his head.
"What if it's a group of militants?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Of course we will fire resolutely. With our firepower, none of them can make it to the island alive." Captain Lucci replied. "To be honest, it is impossible to attack this base. Even if the other party sends a fleet, it will not be able to perform it under the dual pressure of our sea and air. Even if these people can barely land under the strong firepower,After leaving the island, it is estimated that only a small half is left. After landing on the island, we have to face our Marine Corps. "
"Of course. But I'm not referring to this type of attack. I'm referring to the kind of terrorist attack. No matter the cost, just to make you pay losses.
For example, infiltrating with a small force to cause explosions, arson, poisoning and other terrorist attacks. Lin Rui nodded, "Do you think this will catch you guys off guard?" "
"This" Captain Lu Qi hesitated, "If you want to say that, it is possible. After all, the island is so big, it is still possible for one or two people to sneak in."
"This is the purpose of our coming. Captain, do you have time? Take us to take a helicopter to overlook this base. By the way, we can take a stroll in the surrounding waters.
I hope to have a clearer understanding of this island, and then I can make a reasonable safety assessment for this island. "
"Of course, no problem." Captain Lucci nodded. "But I have to report this situation."
"Of course." Lin Rui nodded.
Captain Lucci walked aside, picked up the phone, and called the commander. Then he walked over and nodded to Lin Rui, "When are we leaving? Now or wait?"
"Just now." Lin Rui smiled and nodded to him. "Has the commander agreed?"
"Yes, the commander has agreed. He asked me to cooperate with your assessment work and provide you with all conveniences." Captain Lucci nodded. "So where do you want you to go? I will drive you around myself. To be honest, this scenery is the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean."
"Thank you." Lin Rui nodded to him. "Are we flying on your plane?"
"But that one has just finished its flight and is still undergoing maintenance. We are taking the Sea Knight over there." Lu Qi said with a smile. "The space of the Sea Knight is large enough, you and the other brothers can go up together. I will take you for a walk."
The Sea Knight CH-46 helicopter is a tandem twin-rotor helicopter that looks a lot like a Chinook helicopter.
It has a very large carrying capacity and can transport twenty-five people at one time.
Captain Lu Qi took Lin Rui and all his team members onto the helicopter. Take them to look down from the air at the base and islands below.
