Chapter 4898: Base Security Expert

"Please follow me." The ensign officer nodded to Lin Rui. After driving with him, all the way to the headquarters.
"The base commander is waiting for you inside." After getting off the car, the ensign nodded to Lin Rui.
After Lin Rui knocked on the door and walked into the opposite office, he found that the commander was a black man.
Seeing Lin Rui coming in, the black man got up and shook hands with him. "This is Miles, the head of the base."
"Hello General." Lin Rui nodded to him.
"Are you a member of the base security assessment team?" the black officer looked at him and asked.
"Yes, General." Lin Rui replied.
General Myers looked at him and hesitated for a while, "Then I would like to ask you to tell me why the Department of Defense suddenly sent a security assessment team here. And I did not receive any reports in advance."
"I think the general has received the report from the Ministry of National 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 according to the contract. I am not very clear about the specific reasons. Lin Rui replied calmly.
"Security status assessments have not been done 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 this time as the base security assessment team, and under the operation of Mr. K, they followed formal procedures. So he is not afraid. The other party checked his identity.
"Don't worry, we have checked it." General Miles nodded. "Well, since you are all acting on orders. Then I have nothing to say, but I feel that the incident is suddenly a bit strange, so I ask you.
Follow Lieutenant Hill and they will give you and your people temporary permits to enter various areas of the base. If you have any other needs, you can also tell him, or tell me directly. "
"Thank you General." Lin Rui nodded.
"One more thing, I don't want to cause any trouble. I don't intend to interfere 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 totally unnecessary. The security measures at this base are the most complete, and the U.S. Navy can solve its own problems." General Myers was somewhat disapproving. "I don't understand why they ask private military companies like you to intervene and conduct security assessments."
"Maybe we have our specialties." Lin Rui smiled.
"Maybe. But no matter what, our navy and air force are the best." General Myers replied.
"I don't want to deny this. But I also want to remind the general of a fact.
The Card was an aircraft carrier built by the US Navy during World War II. The "Borg" class belonging to the United States was rebuilt in 1942 with the hull of a c-3 standard cargo ship, with a length of 151.2 meters, a draft of 7.9 meters and a speed of 18 knots.
The entire ship’s defensive firepower consists of only two 127mm single-barreled guns and several 40mm/20mm guns. The number of carrier-based aircraft is 28.
On May 2, 1964, the frogmen of the Vietnamese special task force bombed and sank the USS Card aircraft carrier in Saigon Port.
In 1968, when a 15,000-ton oil tanker was replenishing two US divisions in the Guangzhi area, it was sunk by three frogmen, which greatly affected the US military operations.
During the entire Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese frogmen blew up more than a thousand US and South Vietnamese warships. In the face of the North Vietnamese frogmen's intrusion, the US military even began training dolphin troops to search for frogmen.
Since then, your military’s security and defense of naval bases has been raised to a very high level.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the maritime platform’s counter-terrorism mission received more attention. On the one hand, it was based on the background of the world situation at that time: the anti-government forces against the United States and Western countries and the upsurge of anti-US activities caused the United States overseas. The region is frequently intimidated and attacked by various terrorist forces, and the United States has paid a lot of casualties for this.
On the other hand, special operations against terrorism became the mainstream trend worldwide at that time, and the continuous improvement of its own anti-terrorism combat platform and strengthening of the combat capabilities of the anti-terrorism force became the main direction of the development of the US special forces at that time.
The bombing of the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983 exposed the serious security risks of the US military at overseas bases.
In fact, as early as 1982, the kidnapping of General Zieger at a US military base in Germany has already demonstrated the existence of loopholes in the defense of the US military base and various institutional defects.
Several incidents made the commanders of the Navy and Marine Corps feel uneasy and pressured. For this reason, the Navy put forward its own idea: Instead of passively waiting for terrorist attacks, it is better to actively strengthen the security and defense of its base.
Therefore, a highly classified U.S. Navy counter-terrorist force consisting of 14 people was born, which the military called the Sixth Red Cell Team.
That is, the US Marine Corps Ship Anti-Terrorism Security Force FAST is a special force that provides the Navy with the security of ships. Lin Rui smiled. "General, although the U.S. Navy is powerful, it also exposes the security risks of U.S. military stations overseas.
We are not here to find trouble, we are here to make an objective and fair assessment of the security status of this base. And submit the results of this assessment to the Department of Defense, nothing more. "
General Miles looked at Lin Rui and nodded slowly, "I can see that Mr. Rick is quite professional."
"Farewell, General." Lin Rui nodded at him and turned to leave.
The ensign officer Hill outside took Lin Rui and the others to another room and made identification cards for them to temporarily 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 journey. Major Hill and several other U.S. troops are responsible for accompanying them to conduct inspections and evaluations.
Lin Rui didn't care about this, he only cared about how to find Kebain quickly. Originally, their so-called inspection and evaluation were just an excuse.
Finding the secret society militants hidden in the nearby waters, and the Kobain who was held hostage by them, is the top priority.
So Lin Rui didn't care if anyone was following him. In fact, Lieutenant Hill could provide a lot of convenience by following them.
