"We have some general information about them. The Free Western Sahara Organization does not have a fixed camp. But they often settle in the depths of the desert.

But they are an armed force of hundreds of people, with light rockets and armed trucks. This means they have a hidden camp deep in the desert. Analyzing from the scope of their activities, their camp should be located in this area. "Jiangan drew a larger area on the map.

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Jianfei asked.

"Because the Moroccans have also taken active measures from the attack to when they took the hostages. They immediately dispatched helicopters to pursue them. From here to here, the helicopter searched.

If they are operating in these areas, they will certainly not escape the detection of helicopters. This shows that when the Moroccans dispatched helicopters for reconnaissance, they had fled the area.

According to the analysis of the route of their vehicles, the place where they may hide is only from here to here. Because in addition, there are settlements of Western Sahara in other areas. And some local nomadic communities.

But obviously, they avoided these inhabited areas. Then analyze from the map, the only place they can hide is here. "Jiang An focused on the place framed on the map again.

"It makes sense, but this area is located in the desert hinterland and there is no water source. How did they establish a temporary camp at this location?" Lin Rui frowned.

"I see." An officer under Ernest nodded. In this area, there used to be a Mauritanian frontline outpost.

There was a time before the Mauritanians also looked forward to the Western Sahara region. They have established a number of large outposts in this area, and once occupied the southern part of Western Sahara.

Until later, because of changes in the domestic situation in Mauritania. They gave up their claims to the Western Sahara region and withdrew to Mauritania.

The Moroccans reoccupied most of the area they occupied. But in some more remote areas, the Morlocks have not been able to actually control them.

If the Free Western Sahara organization is active in this area. It is very likely that they used the outpost established by Mauritanians that year. "

"Oh?" Lin Rui muttered, "Do you have any relevant information about those outposts?"

"It is a long time ago, and we have not fought in those areas. There is not much relevant information. But I have seen other outposts established by Mauritanians.

It is difficult to obtain enough water in desert areas, and it is also very inconvenient if transported. Therefore, they adopted the method of taking water from deep wells to ensure that the outpost can operate for a long time.

Simply put, it is to choose a location rich in groundwater to establish an outpost and drill wells to obtain groundwater. After these wells are drilled, the groundwater can be pumped to the surface mechanically.

So I think they probably established a secret camp near the original Mauritanian outpost. "The officer replied.

"I need you to check it out for me immediately. There are several outposts previously established by Mauritanians in this area." Lin Rui said immediately.

"Okay, Mr. Rick, we will cooperate fully." The Western Sahara officer nodded.

After a few hours, Lin Rui and the others got a very old drawing. The positions of several outposts are drawn by hand above.

The officer said a little apologetically, "These are blueprints left over from the war in the last century. The locations of these outposts are manually surveyed and mapped, which may not be too accurate. But the approximate directions should be similar."

"This is enough." Lin Rui nodded, and handed the drawing to Scarface. "Take a picture of the drawing and pass it to Cobain, so that he can find the locations on the satellite map.

In a few hours at most, our satellite will pass through that area, and we need detailed satellite images of that area. "

"Understood." Scarface nodded.

"Do you have satellites?" the officer said in surprise.

"We have independent communications satellites, as well as several low-Earth orbit satellites. These gadgets are the nearest low-Earth orbit satellites. They are designed to operate continuously at hundreds of kilometers on the surface of the earth and can be used to detect the ground. .

Certainly not as advanced as spy satellites, but they are sufficient for reconnaissance and survey of terrain and ground forces. "Lin Rui replied.

"Welcome to the information age." Sergey patted the officer on the shoulder, "We are one of the best private military companies in the world, not medieval mercenaries."

After Cobain got the drawings, he immediately drew up several rough coordinates by comparing the drawings. A detailed shot was taken during the satellite crossing.

In the end, these satellite images were transmitted to Lin Rui and others' tactical computers in time. "I think, I found them." The actuary pointed at one of the satellite maps.

"It doesn't seem to be special." Scarface leaned forward and took a look.

"Look carefully at the shadow locations, there is still some difference from the natural texture. Do you see those small black spots? Those are some temporary tents. This is very common in the Berber settlements deep in the desert." Jiang An explained Tao.

"Moreover, on the right side is one of their parking lots. They deliberately parked their vehicles in a mess. Some irregular storage areas were also arranged.

This will cause identification difficulties to a large extent. It seems that these people are not easy, they even know how to deal with satellite reconnaissance. "

"In terms of numbers, they are not just hundreds of people. If these camps do exist, their number may be around 300 to 500 people. This is not in line with the basic situation of the Free Western Sahara Organization we have previously grasped." The officer whispered.

"It really doesn't match. Because you see these temporary tents, it is very likely that they were expanded recently. They didn't have that many people originally." Lin Rui nodded.

"Yes. Not only has the number of these people increased, but they also have anti-reconnaissance experience. Only some extreme terrorists operating in the depths of the desert have this experience.

In order to avoid satellite reconnaissance, they are usually inactive during the day, and some even sprinkle sand on their tents to make them look like naturally formed dunes.

It seems that what we are going to deal with is not simply members of the Free Western Sahara Organization. They may be mixed with a large number of other armed members. These people are likely to be members of terrorist organizations operating in the Sahara region. "The actuary nodded Shishi.
