"Yokosuka?!"
His pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm of emotions arose in Sakaki Makoto's heart.
To be honest, it's hard to be unfamiliar with the city of Yokosuka.
Yokosuka is not only a city located in the Tokyo metropolitan area of Japan, but is also located on the Miura Peninsula in the southeastern part of Kanagawa Prefecture. It is adjacent to Yokohama to the north, and is the throat of Tokyo Bay, making it the gateway to Tokyo.
Yokosuka is also a standard military port city and the site of the largest U.S. naval base in Asia. It takes less than an hour to drive from Tokyo to Yokosuka.
The United States has dispatched the Seventh Fleet's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and major fleets to this naval base. There are 18 docks with a total length of 2,516 meters and 19 berths. The port's berthing facilities, ship repair factories, fuel and ammunition storage, and troop rest conditions are extremely favorable. The water area alone is more than 30 square kilometers.
With this naval base, the United States can transfer its base directly from Hawaii to Asia. Its strategic significance is self-evident.
The most important thing is...
Makoto Sakaki had been to the vicinity of Yokosuka during a previous Easter egg hunt and had seen the naval base in person.
The old woman suddenly mentioned Yokosuka, which immediately made Sakaki Makoto think of the naval base. This was already engraved in his DNA and was ready to explode.
"Yes, I'm sure it's Yokosuka."
The old woman nodded, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, as sharp as an eagle:
"At that time, my father often received orders from Karasuma Renya to go on business trips to Yokosuka. He would be away for half a month or even longer. I am 80% sure that Karasuma Renya is hiding in Yokosuka!"
"impossible!"
Miss Miyano immediately shook her head:
"There are a large number of American troops stationed in Yokosuka. If Karasuma Renya wants to build his headquarters there, he must get the approval of the American military. In that case, what will happen to the FBI?"
"Do you think there are only American troops stationed in Yokosuka?"
The old woman's faint voice startled Miss Miyano for a moment, and she turned to look at her boyfriend who was frowning.
"She's right. It's not just the U.S. military stationed in Yokosuka, there's also the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force."
Sakaki Makoto said in a deep voice:
"Originally, after the war, the Japanese Navy was ordered to disband, but later due to the outbreak of a certain war, Japan quickly rearmed itself. In 1952, a special agency called the Maritime Guard was established within the Japan Coast Guard. The main task of this agency was to receive and use the ships purchased on loan from the United States."
"But less than three months after the establishment of the Maritime Security Force, it was separated from the Coast Guard and called the Coast Guard. At the same time, the Japanese government signed a ship loan agreement with the United States. The United States provided Japan with 18 1,450-ton Tacoma-class frigates and 53 300-ton landing support boats, which became Japan's earliest post-war water combat boats."
"Two years later, in 1954, Japan promulgated the Defense Agency Establishment Law and the Self-Defense Forces Law, and the Ground Self-Defense Force and the Maritime Self-Defense Force were formally established. Although the Maritime Self-Defense Force was fully dependent on the US military from the beginning, Japan later independently built a 1,600-ton destroyer and completed four military readjustment plans within 18 years. The strength of the Maritime Self-Defense Force has caught up with the world's advanced ranks."
"What's even more terrifying is that Japan took advantage of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union to rapidly develop its own strength. At the end of the Cold War, it produced the Kongo-class destroyer and became the second country in the world to own Aegis system ships. Until now, Japan is still the world's second largest owner of Aegis ships."
"At this stage, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is no longer just a vassal of the US military. Its strength is strong enough to stand on its own and should not be underestimated."
"this....."
Miss Miyano obviously didn't know these inside stories. In her impression, Yokosuka was most famous for the US Naval Base, and she had never heard of anything else.
"If, I mean if..."
Sakaki Makoto said with a gloomy face:
"If Karasuma Renya is hiding in Yokosuka, it might be a bit troublesome..."
Everyone fell silent when they heard this. There was nothing to say. Looking around the world, where is the safest place?
The Alps?
North Pole or South Pole?
White House?
Neither. The safest place must be the military bases of the major countries. There is no doubt about that.
Some petty thieves are brave enough to steal from the White House, but would they dare to steal from a military base?
The military base is surrounded not only by radars, traps, and infrared detectors, but also by huge underground facilities.
For example, the military base established by the US military in Colorado hollowed out a 3,000-meter granite mountain, with nuclear strike facilities on all sides. An underground city consisting of 15 building units was built in the mountain with steel plates. Each building is an independent building, which are connected by passages after construction. More than 1,300 super springs are placed underneath to prevent the impact of nuclear bomb explosions.
One spring weighs 45 tons.
With such facilities, even if the enemy uses nuclear bombs, it is unlikely to cause a devastating blow to the military base.
How can we kill Karasuma Renya when he is hiding in a place like this?
No wonder the old woman kept saying that assassinating Karasuma Renya was an impossible task. This situation really makes people feel deeply desperate.
Even if we bring Kyogoku Makoto here, it won't help!
If he can catch one missile with his bare hands, can he catch ten or a hundred?
Facing the close-in defense guns of ships that can fire tens of thousands of bullets per minute...
Superman must be beaten into a sieve.
"Ai-chan, I remember you said last time that Karasuma Renye's headquarters is located in an underground facility wrapped in steel?"
"Um."
Miss Miyano nodded:
"Besides, there is no signal for mobile phones inside, and the computers use the local area network. Without special equipment, there is no way to contact the outside world."
Last time, Makoto Sakaki had tried to get rid of Hongshu when Gin was contacting the Boss and tracked the Boss's location through the signal, but failed. The other party could not resist the invasion of Noah's Ark and shamelessly cut off all the networks, cutting off the source of the trouble and barely protecting the secret.
The problem is...
Gin can communicate with the Boss directly, which means that the Boss used special equipment. Could it be a landline phone?
Or is it that only the electronic devices used by the Boss can communicate with the outside world?
No matter what, Sakaki Makoto can be sure that Karasuma Renya is hiding underground!
"I advise you to consider other options."
The old woman had no hope of killing Karasuma Renya:
"If Karasuma Renya was so easy to kill, why would it be your turn to do it?"
"As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Karasuma Renya may not really be hiding in Yokosuka. Doesn't he have an underground base in Nara?"
"By the time you check them one by one, his plan will have been completed. By then, it will be too late to save him and you will no longer be able to do anything to him..."
