Chapter 11: Awa-ker Headquarters

Under the leadership of Zhou Wu, the ferry boat of the "Tropical High Pressure" landed in Sydney, the hub port of Oceania, and then transferred to a small seaplane to fly north-east. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although Feng Yu is not a real member of the Earth Federation, he has learned geography quite well, and knows that flying from Sydney all the way to the north-east direction should be to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Although this direction eventually pointed to North America, if Zhou Wuzhen wanted to take them to North America, he should have taken a large, faster-flying surface flight, rather than a small seaplane with the RSWB logo on its fuselage.

After boarding the seaplane, there were no idle people around, and Zhou Wu began to introduce the Earth Headquarters of the Awa-ker organization to everyone.

Awa-Ker is headquartered in the middle of the Earth's surface in the Pacific Ocean near the intersection of the equator and the International Date Line, the Gilbert Islands of the Republic of Kiribati in the proto-Earth era.

In the era of global integration in the old era, no once great power could be separated from the human family, and the Republic of Kiribati, as a Pacific island country with a total land area of less than 1,000 square kilometers, has no suspense to integrate into the global family.

In the 21st century, as the El Niño phenomenon intensified, rising sea levels engulfed most of the islands of the Republic of Kiribati, leaving the remaining land severely salinized and the vegetation dying in large quantities, making it no longer suitable for human life. Immediately after mankind entered the String Age, with the great strides in the development of the universe, the marine economy of the old era has gone into decline, and several archipelagos in Kiribati have basically been abandoned.

In addition to Christmas Island in the Laine Islands, it still attracts a small number of tourists because of its beautiful scenery; The Phoenix Islands were once included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the largest marine protected area, and there are still a handful of marine biologists who occasionally come to visit; The Gilbert Islands, formerly part of the capital area of the Republic of Kilbas, are no longer inactive and have become a no-man's land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

In this case, RSWB, a public welfare organization on the surface of Awa-Ker, has acquired the Gilbert Islands as the organization's headquarters, which is quite a bit of a waste utilization for the federal government of the earth.

Old Kilbas was actually a tragic place, since it was colonized by the British in the early 20th century, the capital Tarawa Atoll became the focus of the United States and Japan during World War II, and the eastern archipelago of Lane became a nuclear weapons testing ground for the United States and Britain in the middle of the 20th century. In the 21st century, except for the oceanic island in the Gilbert Islands, which is a volcanic island with an altitude of 81 meters, the other coral islands with an average altitude of 3-4 meters are facing roof due to rising sea levels.

By the time the RSWB came forward to buy the Gilbert Islands, the archipelago, which was once the capital area of Kilbas, was the most declining of the three archipelagos, unlike the Phoenix Islands themselves, which are a marine protected area, and the Christmas Island of the Ryan Islands, which was born from a nuclear weapons test site, is a tourist mecca.

Despite the fact that Kilbas is a very small territory, it has a water area of 3.5 million square kilometers, and the sea area occupied by the three archipelago is 3,870 kilometers long from east to west and 2,050 kilometers wide from north to south. The Gilbert Islands are located in the westernmost part of Kilbas, more than 3,000 kilometres from the easternmost Lane Islands, and nearly 2,000 kilometres from the south-central Phoenix Islands. To the north, the Marshall Islands, another country from the old era, is a little closer, but it was also abandoned by early nuclear contamination by the United States and later by rising sea levels.

So under this desert island that no one paid attention to, Awa-Ker quietly built an undersea base covering hundreds of square kilometers.

As we all know, even in the old era when there were no R particles, human beings still had very limited means of detecting the underwater world, and could only rely on submarine detectors carrying camera equipment or active sonar to observe, and it was difficult for electromagnetic waves to penetrate the sea.

In other words, as long as the Earth Federation does not send undersea probes to this area, it will not be discovered that there is a secret base hidden under the surface of the Gilbert Islands.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Despite the size of the universe, even the Milky Way where the Earth Federation is located still has a large number of unexplored star fields, and if Awa-Ker really has its headquarters in space, it will attract the attention of the Earth Federation because of the ship's abnormal course. And setting the headquarters under the nose of the Earth Federation, under the sea surface of the Earth, the home planet of mankind and the capital of the Earth Federation, is a bold move that no one can imagine.

However, there is also a downside to Awa-ker building a secret base on Earth. Because the spacecraft is not allowed to enter the earth's atmosphere, and it is impossible to achieve large-scale transportation of materials and personnel, the awa-ker headquarters is about to have no defense force, and if it really faces the encirclement and suppression of the mobile force of the Earth Federation, it can only sit and wait for death.

Of course, the Earth Federation, which claims to be a permanently neutral country, must refrain from all military actions to the greatest extent. If military forces are dispatched at every turn to investigate those suspicious organizations and structures, and the cake of the major forces is moved, it will be difficult to maintain such a detached position. The "neutrality" of the Earth Federation is accepted by the countries because they are able to take a laissez-faire attitude towards the various non-military intelligence agencies or organizations that openly and semi-openly lurk on the Earth.

In other words, the Earth Federation knows that the RSWB is not simple, but as long as they do not engage in any acts related to the military and endangering the national security of the Earth Federation on Earth, the Earth Government will not investigate deeply, so as not to break the tacit understanding.

As the headquarters of the Awa-KER organization, the biggest function of the Gilbert submarine base is the intelligence center, which gathers all the intelligence from the various forces of the four major galaxies, and analyzes it as a whole to fully grasp the dynamics of the NO organization and various countries.

In addition to Gilbert's submarine base, Awa-Ker also has several stealth paramilitary bases, but they are all located in the space of the galaxy, that is, several private shipyards and industrial robot factories with civilian conversion capabilities. Whenever the need arises, these factories are ready to transform products from civilian spacecraft and industrial robots to warships and mobile suits.

Then there are several private educational institutions that are distributed in major galaxies as organizational talent training bases, and once the Awa-ker needs it, they can select fleet commanders and pilots, as well as a small number of pilots.

Then there is the loosely structured economic chain, where hundreds of Awa-ker holding companies are not even aware of the existence of this organization, but continue to provide operating funds for the organization to create wealth.

According to Zhou Wu, with Awa-ker's current manpower and material resources, as long as it is needed, it will be able to pull up a standard fleet within half a year. And this fleet is naturally led by such an ace pilot as Fengyu.

There was no Fengyu before, and even if such a fleet was pulled up, it would only be at the level of a second-rate fleet, and it would basically have no chance of winning when encountering the powerful first-line fleets of various countries. And with Feng Yu, a top stream-of-consciousness ace pilot, Awa-Ker's future fleet can at least be on par with the first-line fleets of various countries.

A fleet is already a very terrifying force for a civilian organization, but in the eyes of the state apparatus it is completely inadequate. The UAC alone includes 15 first-tier fleets and 10 second-tier fleets, plus a new America-class mothership, the USS New Asia. Even the NO organization has completed the infiltration and full control of the 1st Mobile Fleet of the New Asian Space Force, and the 4th Fleet of the Space Force is almost in the bag, not to mention that the UAC and the New European Union also have fleets under their control.

Compared to his opponents, Awa-ker is too weak.
