After 15 hours of flight, the vcl 0 c.1k transport aircraft landed at the air force base outside Cairns, Australia, and then an S-70 Black Hawk helicopter flew towards the northeast.
An hour later, the plane landed on the deck of a "Canberra" class amphibious assault ship.
The Australian Navy has a total of 7,000-ton Canberra-class amphibious assault ships. In fact, this ship was designed and manufactured in Spain. It is the same thing as the Spanish Navy's strategic delivery ship. It combines the functions of an aircraft carrier and an amphibious assault ship. The deck area
It's quite big. It has a sliding rocker and can take off vertically take off and land the AV-8B "Harrier" multi-functional fighter jet. It can also take off the latest F-5B US-made stealth fighter. In addition, it can reserve a deck for supply.
6 S-70 Black Hawk helicopters are used.
Speaking of combat effectiveness, this is currently the strongest surface ship of the Australian Navy.
Currently, this "Canberra" class amphibious assault ship is moving slowly and leisurely at a speed of seven nautical miles per hour.
It is only 150 nautical miles away from the Solomon Islands.
As soon as the S-70 Black Hawk helicopter stabilized, Qin Fei and Michelle jumped out of the cabin, bent down and ran toward the bridge with their heads lowered in the huge airflow.
An Australian Navy lieutenant colonel who came up to greet Major Michelle walked with Michelle and pointed to the bridge: "They are all waiting for you in the combat intelligence command center on the second floor."
"What is the situation now? Is the target still in the waters of the Solomon Islands? How is the reconnaissance situation?" Michelle's series of questions overwhelmed the lieutenant colonel.
People in Australia's kangaroo country are relatively laid-back, and their nerve reflex arcs are naturally not that sharp.
The lieutenant colonel stuttered a little when Michelle kept asking questions.
"The target is always under surveillance... As for the situation... well..."
After a while, Michelle lost her patience.
She directly passed the lieutenant colonel and ran towards the second floor of the bridge.
Entering the combat intelligence command center, Michelle saw other members of mi17 deployed here.
Obviously, this joint operation was led by mi17. For the Kangaroo Country, they originally belonged to the British Commonwealth and they all served the same queen, so there was no obstacle to cooperation.
"Lilith, immediately connect the information with the intelligence officer here and complete the mission briefing. We will have a meeting in ten minutes!"
"Yes, sir!" Lilith is indeed a go-getter. Compared to the lieutenant colonel from the Kangaroo Kingdom, her acting style is much neater. She immediately took her laptop and walked to sit down next to other colleagues and started to work.
Exchange and docking of information.
During the ten-hour flight of the VCL 0 C.1K transport plane towards Cairns, the MI17 intelligence personnel deployed on the "Canberra" amphibious assault ship had confirmed the source of the signal sent by the fake hard drive and mobilized a team of
A spy satellite conducted detailed reconnaissance of the waters here.
This shows how much the British attach great importance to this operation, especially to Kawasaki Takashi himself.
A genius-level leader of the KB organization, he has created several extremely devastating attacks in the British Empire. All British intelligence agencies regard Kawasaki Ryuichi as their number one enemy.
At the conference table in the command center, Major Michel stood beside the table, and his natural leadership momentum was immediately revealed.
Although Michelle is not the one with the highest rank on this ship, no one here can question or replace her leadership position.
Some people are born to be professional soldiers and born to be leaders.
Baron Harvey's selection of Michel as the operational commander of mi17 was not based on random decisions.
"I need our current location, troop deployment, and target status. Who can give me an answer?" Michelle put her hands on the table and looked around.
An intelligence officer from MI17 came to the meeting with an iPad in his hand, connected the data cable to an interface on the edge of the conference table, and then started the software on the iPad.
The desktop suddenly lit up.
Only then did Qin Fei discover that the desktop had actually been modified. Half of the area was a hard LED panel that could project images and display data on the iPad.
"Major, we are currently at this location."
The intelligence officer pointed to a slowly moving green dot on the desktop screen.
"In addition to this amphibious assault ship, there are also several small special operations patrol boats. This mission is codenamed 'Hunting Shark'. The attack mission is carried out by small patrol boats. SAS and SASR team members have already prepared the attack on the boats.
The attack is prepared and ready to go at any time."
"What about the target situation?" Michelle asked.
The intelligence officer tapped the screen to bring up the captain's picture.
"This is the latest set of pictures, taken twenty minutes ago."
Qin Fei's eyes fell on the screen. In the picture, there seemed to be three ships, one large and two small, on the northeastern coast of the Solomon Islands. The ship in the center looked like a luxury yacht, and its length seemed to be no less than
Thirty meters.
"I didn't expect the Holy City Army to be quite rich!" He couldn't help but joke.
"It's not surprising that these people use money to do things. Not only do they have financial backers, but they are also involved in drug and weapons trafficking. They will not be short of money." Michelle said.
"It's unknown now. Is the signal still going on?" Michelle asked the intelligence officer.
The intelligence officer nodded: "Yes, it's still there, and it has never disappeared."
"Are you sure that Kawasaki Ryuichi is on the ship?" Michelle was already a little nervous. Kawasaki Ryuichi had been hunted for many years, but anti-terrorist forces often missed him. In an operation outside Paris, he had already killed Kawasaki Ryuichi.
It's a pity that through DNA comparison, it was discovered that this was just a fake, a fake stand-in.
Over the years, mi17 has organized many tracking operations against the leaders of the Holy City Force, but all failed.
Later, I finally received information and learned that Ryuichi Kawasaki was very interested in the Achilles' heel in Qin Fei's hands. Mi17 then took the risk and sent the "many-faced man" Red to take over the task, and went through a lot of trouble to sneak in.
Comoro stole the hard drive in front of Qin Fei and others.
Now, Ryuichi Kawasaki seems to be right in front of him, and Michelle is afraid that it will be in vain again.
"Here's another photo."
As the intelligence officer spoke, he pulled out another extremely high-definition photo.
In the photo, there seems to be a person wearing white clothes on the front deck of the large yacht. There are also several bodyguards wearing similar combat vests with guns hanging on their shoulders at the railings around the deck.
The intelligence officer zoomed in on the deck, making the man in white clothes clear.
In fact, it was not white clothes, but a bathrobe, a white bathrobe.
The man in a bathrobe was holding a drink in his hand, wearing a pair of sunglasses and bronzed skin. He was lying on his back on the deck, looking carefree, with his face facing the sky.
This exposed his entire face to the high-precision footage of spy satellites.
The intelligence officer framed the person's head, continued to enlarge it individually, and started the software to filter noise and increase pixels and sharpness.
Soon, the face of a man in his twenties appeared on the LED screen on the desktop.
The intelligence officer called up another photo, placed it in the upper right corner of the screen, then pointed at the two photos on the screen and said: "This is a photo taken at about four o'clock this afternoon, and this one,
It is the original photo of Ryuichi Kawasaki. We have done facial comparison and recognition and confirmed that it is Ryuichi Kawasaki. Moreover, since the photo was taken, no one has disembarked the ship, so we are sure he is still on the ship."
Qin Fei touched his chin and looked at the leader of the legendary most cunning KB organization.
This guy is a mixed race of East and West, with black hair, but the outline of his face has a European flavor, with sharp cheeks and chin, and deep eye sockets, a typical product of a joint venture between East and West.
"I hope this time, it won't be his substitute." Michelle murmured.
Qin Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Even if you are a substitute, Major, you will not miss this opportunity, right?"
"Of course, I have to try my luck no matter what." Michelle turned around and shouted to Lilith: "Have the data been connected? Is the briefing ready? If possible, connect the high-speed patrol boat immediately, let SAS and
The members of the SASR commando team are all online, and I will start the mission briefing immediately!" (To be continued)
