Chapter 1534: The Great Drama Begins
Three days later, in Colorado, the Berkeley Air Force Base building, eight miles east of Denver, was marked with the acronym AFSPC for Air Force Command I and the huge Air Force Eagle insignia on the door.
Several cars were parked at the door, and a team of officers was guided by a special person and walked into a huge operational command center after going through strict security procedures.
Several officers dressed in the uniforms of air force generals took their seats one after another, and the monitors around them displayed different information. One of the officers frowned, "Gentlemen, I don't see the point of such an exercise. Do you want us to understand that even the safest base in the United States is no longer safe?"
"In a sense, that's so. A middle-aged man with glasses nodded. "I know that you all think that the U.S. Air Force is the pride of the entire U.S. military. Taking advantage of its abundant resources, huge industrial base and scale, and world-leading aviation science and technology, it has been leading the world in the field of military and civil aviation since World War II.
In addition, in the course of war, the Air Force has constantly practiced various combat modes, such as land-air coordination, carpet bombing, air domination of land, precision strikes, and targeted killing, and so on; from World War II to the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Panama War, and especially the recent Gulf War, the Yugoslav War, and the Afghanistan War, all of them have embodied the Grim Reaper brought by the US Air Force from the air.
With advanced technology, you can quickly build up your combat power and strike any target on Earth around the clock. But that doesn't mean it's safe. In particular, we are or will be confronted with the threat of terrorism. Therefore, how to strengthen the security and defense of the base is a very realistic topic. This exercise is aimed at this purpose. ”
Seeing that the general seemed to be disapproving, but the man with glasses smiled slightly, "General, we all know that your F35 is very powerful, but it is also very expensive." The combat power formed by an advanced fighter in the air can certainly be terrifying, but the plane always has to land.
And once the enemy infiltrates the base, all it takes is some very cheap bombs to turn the steel carrying the expensive electronic equipment into complete scrap metal. A pistol can also shoot the best pilots and commanders. To put it irreverently, the penetration of a bullet has nothing to do with the number of stars on your shoulder.
We have spent a lot of money and developed a lot of sophisticated precision weapons for decapitating places in the middle of war. But what if our commanders are not careful, and the other side is decapitated? What if our proud electronic information processing center, the nerve center of the battle, is devastated?
Don't doubt that. Sometimes the other side doesn't need so many fighters or missiles, they just need a good infiltration team to do that. Unless, of course, we go and ask the invulnerable Iron Man to be the commander. ”
The glasses man's humor caused a burst of laughter. He shrugged, "So the point of this exercise is how the base can defend against squad-based terrorist attacks." After a terrorist attack, if a quick response is formed, get rid of it and form a counterattack. I was commissioned by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force to conduct this combat assessment operation. We have equipped 12 professional evaluation units for this operation to conduct a comprehensive and timely assessment of this mission, and I believe that you will gain something. ”
"Okay, so let's see what surprises there are. The general shrugged helplessly. The officers present also looked thoughtfully at the bespectacled man.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Jensen, the person in charge of this operation. But I'm not the point, the point is the team we hired. Assault squad of the Black Island Military Company, codenamed O2. The bespectacled man turned to the screen and said, "They're considered one of the best infiltration squads out there." ”
"What are you kidding, it's a mercenary from a private military company?" said one officer with a frown, "why don't we use Army Special Forces or Navy SEALs for this exercise?" ”
"Because that's not representative. Jensen shook his head and said, "And what is the probability of a surprise attack by the enemy's regular forces on the US military base? Everyone knows that such a possibility is extremely small." But this is not the case with irregular armies, where terrorists operate as civilians and are almost pervasive. And believe me, the combat ability of this squad is quite professional, and the selection of them is also selected by us after analysis. ”
"Well, when will it start?" said the general, frowning.
"Look at the screen, this is the Cheyenne Mountain military base that we are all very familiar with. The main base of this exercise, and the target of these mercenaries is him. Jensen switched the screen, "I think it's an old acquaintance of you, too." ”
"Hell, this is Herbert?" said an American general with a frown.
"Yes. This mercenary squad was hired to act as the attacking party for this exercise, a hypothetical terrorist squad. They will infiltrate the Cheyenne Mountain base and decapitate the commander of the North American Air Defense Command. And what we have to pay attention to is the whole process of attack and defense of the whole attack operation. In this way, problems and gaps in security are identified. Jensen nodded, "We're going to use a lot of power to make everything look at the screen and show it all in a comprehensive and detailed way, look at the screen......"
In the house where Lin Rui and others were hiding, the team members were sorting out weapons and equipment.
Lin Rui said to Snake Eyes, "How's the preparation?"
"Almost. Snake-Eyes nodded, "But what are you going to do after you give us all your weapons?"
"It's impossible for the infiltration team to go in with weapons, and they can't even enter the first checkpoint with weapons. Lin Rui shook his head, "But we know the location of their arsenal, as long as we sneak in, weapons are not a problem." It's mainly the second group of you who are responsible for feints. In addition to creating enough movement, it is also necessary to withstand their counterattack on the periphery. This is a big test for you. ”
"Don't worry, I've seen big battles too. Snake Eyes smiled slightly, "I promise to scare the pee out of these boys." I made the sausages into several large firecrackers, and once they were fried, the momentum was absolutely earth-shattering. How prepared are you?"
Lin Rui turned to Yelena and Crystal and said, "Hey, beauties, do you like the gift I prepared for you?"
"It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Crystal shook the two bags of plasma in his hand and said, "Where did this thing come from?"
"Sergey stole it from the hospital and hid it in his chest when the time came. As soon as he heard the explosion, he poured into the smoke, and then desperately clutched his chest, squeezing the plasma, creating the illusion of injury. I know it sounds a little disgusting, but that's the tactical arrangement. There's gunfights, there's blood, there's beautiful women, doesn't that sound Hollywood? As soon as Cobain's cracking news arrives, the big drama will begin. Lin Rui shrugged.
"IMHO, that's a damn stupid idea. Crystal unceremoniously gave him a middle finger up.
