Chapter 2916: Flintlock Exercise

While Lin Rui summoned his team to return to Africa. On Mr. K's side, a secret conversation is also going on. An elderly lady with glasses, sitting at the desk, behind her was the CIA's huge badge, with bald eagle eyes on the badge, revealing perseverance and indomitable strength and sharp insight.
"You mean they promised to help us get rid of Isaiah's trouble. But some information is needed in exchange?" The Haspel female chief frowned.
"Yes." Mr. K whispered, "They claim that they need some information as a reference, and they will give us more valuable information later."
"These mercenaries." Director Haspel shook his head. "I don't trust them."
"I don't trust them either. But I believe they must rely on something, otherwise they would not make such a request." Mr. K whispered.
"So, do you think they have information that we don't have?" Director Haspel took off his glasses and looked at Mr. K with a frown.
"It's not certain, but it is possible. These mercenaries are local snakes in Africa. There are constant wars in Africa, and they have been dealing with government forces, anti-government forces, and various warlord forces and local armed forces. What to say is true. It is possible to get some inside information that we don't know. However, it is not ruled out that these mercenaries are playing mystery in order to raise their worth." Mr. K nodded.
"Well, what do you think should be resolved this time?" Director Haspel frowned.
"Look at the results of their action this time. If they really get rid of Isaiah's trouble before the exercise. I think we can provide them with some of the information we have obtained. See what they can bring us. "Mr. K nodded.
"Are you still skeptical of the connection between the Orumi Federation and those stolen missiles?" Director Haspel whispered.
"We have reason to doubt. And the suspicion is the excellent quality of an intelligence officer." Mr. K nodded.
"Well, Kevin, you are responsible for this. But remember, the current relationship between us and the Orumi Federation is very delicate. Especially their value in the joint anti-terrorism operation in Africa." Director Haspel He whispered, "Most people in the top do not want to disrupt this cooperative relationship. No matter what you plan to investigate, you have to do it in secret." After Madam Secretary finished speaking, she put on her glasses again and began to look at the documents in her hand. .
Mr. K smiled slightly, as if he had known this kind of result a long time ago, he got up from his chair and said goodbye.
The multinational joint military exercise code-named "Flintlock" is held every two years and is mainly participated by the United States and African countries. The main purpose of holding this joint military exercise is to test and improve the ability of participating countries’ military forces to conduct command, control, and liaison in peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief operations, so as to strengthen their military cooperation in the region.
During the three-week joint military exercise, the participants will also provide free medical treatment and rescue activities to the local people.
This year's exercise is commanded by the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States. Nearly 1,900 military personnel from 20 African and Western countries will participate in the exercise. The exercise will be held in various locations in Niger, Burkina Faso and Senegal. The content of the exercise has also changed. It is no longer a peacekeeping mission, but will provide law enforcement training, which will include rural patrols, crisis response capabilities, joint special forces command and communication management.
Judging from these contents, it is already obvious that they are preparing for a joint anti-terrorist operation in the near future. Although the exercise has not yet officially started, troops from many countries have arrived at the exercise site and have begun preparations for the pre-exercise.
After Lin Rui and others arrived in Niger, they found the person in charge of the Black Island Company here. In charge of this operation are two black mercenary leaders under the Black Panther Gure, one is Ugandan and the other is Senegal. Because the security work of this exercise was contracted by Black Island, and the exercise was held in multiple locations, the two of them were arranged here to take specific responsibility.
After Lin Rui found them, he asked about the general situation here. I know that inside the barbed wire fence in front is the US military camp, and the US general has not arrived yet.
"When will the chief executive of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff arrive?" Lin Rui asked.
"It should be four or five days later, he will follow their staff and military assessment experts. At that time, the security here will be upgraded again, and we will expand the security zone by another fifty meters." Uganda Karimba replied. "Multiple vigilance, plus enough defense depth established by the US military. It is enough to deal with any surprise attack. And there will be drones equipped with Hellfire missiles to provide air protection, even armored forces don't even want to rush in."
"Don't be careless." Lin Rui whispered, "Americans have good technology, but technology is often the easiest to go wrong. What you have to do is not only to defend bases from being attacked, but also to prevent terrorists from infiltrating secretly. Especially Strengthen the scrutiny of local employees, especially Nigerians. They are one of the host countries, and here is their territory. So when that happens, their people will often come and go. Terrorists are very likely to take advantage of these security loopholes."
"Understood, we have strengthened the perimeter security and changed the inspection password regularly and irregularly. It is to prevent someone from pretending to be a staff member to come in." The mercenary leader nodded, "In addition, our batch of equipment will arrive in the afternoon. We will install camera surveillance, and set up a video surveillance team. We will stare around the clock to prevent suspicious people from getting in."
"About Isaiah, what's going on recently?" Lin Rui asked.
"This man is the leader of the warriors in the Holy Land. This militant organization is quite powerful in the Niger area and has repeatedly confronted government forces. Recently, it has issued a statement that it will assassinate the senior officials of the US military participating in the exercise. Niger did not dare to be careless. "The mercenary leader said.
"Currently, multiple checkpoints have been established in the territory under their control to prevent this militant group from making trouble. Our intelligence team has also fully intervened, but there is no further evidence that he will launch an attack."
Lin Rui nodded, "Which intelligence team is in charge this time, Vitak's or who?"
"The Israeli intelligence team is in charge, and the specific person in charge is Nightingale." The mercenary leader replied, "I will notify their people to come back and report to you."
"Israel Intelligence Team." Lin Rui nodded, "It's really time for them to play a role. You tell them that I need them to report to me in two hours."
