Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Seen from the air, Diego Garcia is just a ring of islands and reefs. In the middle is a huge lagoon. The main body of the base is built on the largest area.
The long runway can be seen very clearly from the air. Even the planes parked at the airport are clearly visible.
Captain Lucci explained to them while driving the Sea Knight, circling for several weeks, and then headed towards the surrounding waters.
"Look over there is the Solomon Atoll, and over there is another group of atolls, which is the Three Brothers Island." Captain Lucci explained to them.
"I'm more interested in the Solomon Atoll you mentioned. Can we go up there and take a look?" The noise in the helicopter was relatively loud, and Lin Rui could only ask loudly.
"Of course, no problem." Captain Lucci piloted the Sea Knight helicopter. Change course and fly over Solomon Atoll.
"Very beautiful." Lin Rui nodded.
The sea water below shows different colors because of its different depths, while the surrounding white sandy beach shows different colors upwards, with a white edge.
It can be seen that the vegetation on the island is very dense. Because it has been uninhabited for many years and has a tropical marine climate with sufficient temperature and humidity, the trees on the island have long grown wildly.
The former residential areas and plantations on the island have long been swallowed up by green plants. Not a trace can be seen. It's just that the abandoned port looks like an artificial structure, and there are still some relics left.
Apart from that, they found nothing.
"This place has been deserted for a long time. In fact, it is not just here. Even the southern part of the Diego Garcia base was once inhabited.
Later, after the local residents were forced to relocate, the place became a ruin. I have told you before that there are no civilians in this surrounding area. Captain Lu Qi said to Lin Rui.
"It's okay, we are just taking a casual look and assessing the surrounding sea areas and islands." Lin Rui nodded and took pictures with his camera.
"Hey, man, you should know that taking pictures is not allowed, right? Uh, I mean, photos about the base shouldn't be circulated, right?" Captain Lucci was stunned.
"Of course it will not be spread. This must be included in the assessment report and submitted to the Ministry of National Defense. Our assessment report is internal information and is top secret." Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't worry, Captain, let alone your side. Even the Cheyenne Mountain underground base, the president's last refuge, we were hired to do a security assessment. These photos are needed in the report. Wait until the report is formed Afterwards, all photos will be destroyed."
"Then I'm relieved." Captain Lucci nodded. "I just said you should all be professionals and there is no way you could make such a mistake."
"Of course it's impossible, Captain. Okay, let's go to other atolls. I'll collect some more information." Lin Rui nodded.
"As long as our base is not involved, there will be no problem in other atolls. Pick two pictures with good scenery and give me one when the time comes. I want to give it to my wife when I go back." Captain Lucci smiled. road. "She loved the ocean."
"Of course Captain." Lin Rui nodded to him.
But after turning around, he used the telescope to observe the atoll below in detail.
Still nothing was found. Lin Rui understood that, just as Captain Lucci said, if a small group of people want to deliberately hide their whereabouts.
The surrounding atolls, large and small, are enough for them to hide without a trace.
Some islands and reefs have dense vegetation. Not to mention small ships, you can't see them by the side. Even a medium-sized ship is difficult to detect as long as it is well concealed.
A large number of coconut trees and palm trees are like setting up a green canopy for these islands and reefs. As long as you park your boat under a tree and put on a camouflage net, it will almost blend in with the surrounding green plants.
It is impossible to detect it simply by relying on helicopter aerial reconnaissance.
¡°But this also strengthened Lin Rui¡¯s confidence. Cobain and his team must have been trapped on a nearby island. And they are still under the tight control of secret society militants.
On the surface, everything around you looks like a calm sea, but In fact, there are turbulent undercurrents beneath the surface of the sea.
Lin Rui put down the telescope in his hand and remained silent.
Captain Lucci took them around and finally turned around and returned to the base.
The first day after they arrived at the Diego Garcia base was so peaceful.
But Lin Rui knew that this calm would not last long. His keen discoveryAt local ports, the vigilance has been significantly upgraded.
On the surface, it remains the same, but in fact, it is secretly strengthened. A company of Marines was deliberately stationed closer to the port.
And members of the U.S. Marine Corps Anti-Terrorism Security Force Fast were among them. Obviously these are temporary adjustments based on the information provided by Mr. K.
The focus is on strengthening security in the port area.
And what Lin Rui is most concerned about now is still the whereabouts of Cobain.
"Mr. Rick, it seems there is something unlucky." Captain Lucci came to him. "Your original request to participate in the survey of surrounding islands was not approved. The commander rejected your request."
"What's the reason?" Lin Rui frowned, "I have an agreement with the commander to try not to interfere with the normal operations of the base, but he will not interfere with any of our actions."
"I understand, but we really can't fly tomorrow." Captain Lucci shook his head. ¡°Due to the weather, there will be heavy rain at sea tomorrow and the wind will be strong.
Unless it is an emergency mission, basically all regular flights have been cancelled. You know that with the flying height of a helicopter, it is greatly affected by wind. "
Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, I understand. Will there be a patrol ship tomorrow? If so, I hope to set out with the patrol ship to see the situation in the surrounding waters and islands."
"I'm afraid not." Lu Qi shook his head. "If the weather is too bad, I estimate that fixed ship patrols will also be cancelled. Well, but we will use drone reconnaissance instead.
Maybe you can go take a look at the drone reconnaissance results. "
"No, you misunderstood. I don't just want to take a look, I want to go to the nearby islands and reefs to investigate in person. In order to comprehensively consider whether these surrounding islands and reefs will be used by terrorists as a launch point for attacking bases." Lin Rui A serious way. "You know with a safety assessment like ours, there are a lot of factors that have to be taken into consideration.
Some things may not happen, and may never happen, but we must take these situations into account.
That¡¯s what the higher-ups want, so that the guys at the Pentagon will think they didn¡¯t pay us in vain. "
"I understand, I understand. But there is nothing I can do about the above request." Captain Lucci nodded.
