Buti this country. A glance at the map will tell that this place is strategically important.

Djibouti, an African country, is located on the west bank of the Gulf of Aden, facing the Strait of Mande The composition is as narrow as a road on Mount Hua. From here to the north are numerous Middle Eastern oil-producing countries, and to the south is the vast hinterland of Africa. Djibouti is like a sentinel standing on the oil channel, "advancing and retreating, and defending."

The nearby Mande Strait concentrates 14% of the world's trade traffic. Because it controls the other end of the Red Sea, it has an economic and strategic position as important as the Suez Canal.

Although its geographical location is excellent, Djibouti's economic development is not satisfactory. It is one of the least developed countries declared by the United Nations and has a weak industrial and agricultural foundation. The area is small, only about 23,000 square kilometers, and the population is less than 1 million. There are volcanic rocks in the territory, frequent earthquakes, harsh weather and lack of natural resources.

Djibouti is such a country with a superb location, poor and backward, severely harassed by pirates, and branded with the French colonial mark. Its advantages and disadvantages are extremely obvious. Under the balance of the two phases, many countries still chose Djibouti decisively. The United States, France, Japan, etc. have already built bases here and operated for a long time.

Lin Rui was wearing an Arab robe with a plaid headscarf and sitting in a corner of the market. Jiang Kisi sat next to him, whispering to him the basic situation here.

"This place is full of garrisons of foreign military bases. I am afraid there are more soldiers than their own countries. Talk about the situation of the Self-Defense Force base." Lin Rui whispered.

Jiang Jian nodded, "As Japan’s first military base established abroad after the war. Compared with the United States and France, Japan’s operation in Djibouti was not long. Construction began in June 2011, and Japan spent about 4.7 billion days. Yuan, about 38.2 million U.S. dollars. On the 12 hectares of land adjacent to Djibouti International Airport, facilities such as airport parking, warehouses, and supply depots have been built, and two P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircrafts have been deployed. Guards are mainly self-defense members.

At the same time, the Japanese government determined the specific content of the multi-functional base through amendments to the "Self-Defense Force Law" and the security legal system. At present, there have been various proposals around this matter, such as dispatching light armored vehicles of the Land Self-Defense Force to rescue Japanese overseas Chinese; expanding the apron area so that special government aircraft and transport aircraft can transport Japanese overseas Chinese; sending reconnaissance aircraft to the local area for long-term vigilance and surveillance Wait. On the one hand, expanding overseas military deployment in the name of counter-terrorism, on the other hand, strengthening its own influence in the Middle East. "

"Have you found the location of Sakuma Mori?" Lin Rui whispered.

"Not yet. It is difficult for the locals to get close to the base of the Self-Defense Forces, but I heard that Nightingale has succeeded. Not only did they get in smoothly, they also heard a lot of news. In terms of their ability to spy on news, these spies are really good. "Jiangan whispered.

"Really?" Lin Rui whispered, "How did they do it?"

"I don't know, it's said that they have forged a special identity to get in. There is no further news yet." Jian An looked at the people coming and going in the market and whispered, "How do you dress like this?"

"There are a lot of Arabs here, it is easy to avoid people's eyes when dressed like this." Lin Rui whispered. "How long is the two-week appointment time?"

"Rhea still has five days to come. It is said that his investigation in Japan has also made amazing discoveries. However, in order to avoid attracting more attention, he dare not investigate in depth with a lot of sensitive information." Jiang Jian whispered, "Wait for him. After coming, there should be more information about Sakuma Mori."

"We sent a message to urge him. We have been here for ten days, and we still have limited knowledge of the base where the target is located. If we continue to do so, things may happen in Japan. There is no way to hide the disappearance of Shinmiyahara. Long time." Lin Rui whispered.

"I understand, but I don't think it's a good idea to rush them at this time." Jiang An said in a low voice, "I still think we should stand still. When there is further intelligence information, we will decide and then move."

Lin Rui stood up, glanced at the surrounding streets and lanes full of French and Arab architecture, and whispered, "It's not that I am impatient, but we don't have much time to wait. Aladdin's mission deadline is One month, and we need at least half a month to collect intelligence. The remaining half a month is our time for action, and the target may receive news of Shin Miyahara’s disappearance at any time. Once Sakuma Sheng knows that Shinmiyahara is missing, he will definitely be on guard."

"I am also worried about this." Jiang An said in a low voice.

Crazy Horse walked out of the alley, paced to Lin Rui and Jiang An, and whispered, "Nightingale is back."

"Where is she?" Lin Rui frowned.

"In it, she brought back a lot of important information from the Self-Defense Force base." Crazy Horse whispered.

"Go." Lin Rui stood up, covered his face with a turban, walked into the alley, opened a small door nearby and walked in.

Inside are Nightingale and another agent of the intelligence group. Seeing Nightingale wearing a neat professional outfit this time, Lin Rui smiled, "What identity are you this time?"

"The members of the World Food and Agriculture Organization and the African Development Fund visited the garrison of the Self-Defense Forces base to learn about the specific details of the food aid plan and the **** situation in the Mali waters." Nightingale sat Lin Rui with a very capable professional woman posture. Opposite.

"Pretends to look like." Lin Rui smiled, "Are there any results?"

"The number of Self-Defense Forces stationed in the base is more than 150." Nightingale said in a deep voice, "It does not match what they claim to the outside world. Unlike ordinary self-defense team members, the personnel of the Outlying Island Guard Mobile Group may be engaged in a secret mission. Recently, they have very close ties with the US military base, and it may be some kind of joint mission."

"Are the Americans getting involved?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, the United States has 4,000 troops stationed at the base here, as well as an attack UAV unit. The various services are complete, including the Marine Corps responsible for base security, the Horn of Africa Joint Task Force Command, the Navy Repair Battalion, and the Army Team, Marine Corps CH-53 heavy helicopter unit, Navy P-3 patrol aircraft unit, Air Force HC-130 and C-17 transport aircraft unit, Air Force F-15, F-16 fighter unit, etc.

Moreover, relying on this military base, the US military performs counter-terrorism missions including drone strikes in Yemen and the Horn of Africa. Taking into account the relationship between Japan and the United States, Sakuma Mori’s troops may be cooperating with the US military in regional counter-terrorism or maritime missions. "Nightingale said in a deep voice, "We are already infiltrating the US military base." In two days at most, we will have specific information. "

Lin Rui nodded, it seemed that these agents under Leia did possess extraordinary intelligence capabilities.
