The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 265 264. Stumbling Block Operation

The coalition government attaches great importance to the changes in the Collins family.

At present, the "500 million immigration plan" is underway, and various industrial replication and transfer plans are also in full swing.

The Thraide galaxy has completely become the forbidden territory of the United Government.

Even when facing the Earth Federation, the United Government will never give in.

What’s more, they are just a group of greedy natives from another dimension?

The United Government Congress ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to cooperate with Gust to quickly eliminate those guys who affected the strategic layout of the United Government.

Regarding the situation and direction of the plane war, any indigenous forces that attempt to obstruct it and pose a threat to the United Government will be resolutely eradicated.

With the clear instructions from the United Government Congress, the Central Intelligence Agency no longer hesitated to use certain unsavory means to create negative public opinion impact on official organizations.

All detailed information about the members of the Collins family was displayed in detail in the "Joint Action Department" formed by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Gust team within 35 minutes after the order was issued by the Joint Government Conference.

Code name: "Operation Stumbling Block".

“It is important to point out that the coalition government has clear requirements on the time limit for completing tasks.

The Thousand Ships Plan and crew training operations have already begun.

The Collins family’s right to speak to the outside world must be in the hands of Sam Collins.

Only in this way can the coalition government continue to make its next strategic arrangements.

The second phase of the Earth Federation's expedition plan has already begun. We don't have any extra time to waste on these ignorant members of the Collins family..."

“I have no objection.

In fact, this should have been done a long time ago. Many of my men are professional assassins who are good at assassination and can disguise murder as an accident.

Their strength has been tested in the previous three plane wars.

Leave the assassination to us.

You, the agents who graduated from the Military Intelligence Department, are more suitable for gathering intelligence and assisting in the final stages of the operation."

Facing the head of the CIA, Gust almost said that your agents are rubbish.

The head of the intelligence department did not refute this.

You know, Gust is a plane war hero who was personally received by the top leaders of the United Government and recognized in public.

In terms of seniority, the other party is almost comparable to some of the famous generals within the coalition government forces.

More importantly, this kind of operation involving murder and assassination is indeed more professional for Gust's team.

Most of the CIA's agents and detectives are technical talents based on high-tech such as artificial intelligence and advanced network technology.

No one can match them in terms of intelligence gathering and technical analysis, but when it comes to the actual action stage, they prefer to use simple and crude methods such as cyber reconnaissance and drone beheadings.

For agents and detectives to be recruited into the CIA, loyalty is the most important attribute.

Every member is a genuine member of the system who supports the rule of the coalition government.

From birth, they are citizens of the United Government and enjoy elite education.

The advantage is that it ensures the purity of the CIA, an important organizational team.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, and there is a lack of adaptability and subjective initiative in complex task environments.

In comparison, the Gust team has more advantages.

Almost 90% of the members of his team are natives of various dimensions.

Among them are a series of characters who have been identified by indigenous forces in various dimensions as anti-government armed forces, serial murder suspects, antisocial personality disorder elements, extremely dangerous terrorist criminals, etc.

The Gust team never uses any "political review" as a criterion for recruiting people. As long as the other party's value of use is greater than the damage he causes, and can provide help far beyond the ordinary force to the team to perform the mission.

Then the other party is a qualified candidate for the Gust team.

As a former anti-government armed leader, Gust has plenty of experience in managing these "criminals" who are a headache for the official indigenous forces.

The pardon power specially granted by the coalition government also makes the Gust team the last "utopia" for criminals who are intolerable to ordinary society.

With the efforts of the Central Intelligence Agency and artificial intelligence, relevant action plans for other members of the Collins family were quickly formulated.

As many as 23 core members and 366 family members of core members were included in the "action list".

If the bodyguards responsible for protecting these people are added, the number of people that Gust's team needs to clear reaches as high as two thousand.

However, the most difficult part is that these assassinations must be launched almost at the same time.

Only in this way can we catch the opponent in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, behind the joint government department is an entire joint government, and it receives almost unlimited resource support.

“In the two colonized galaxies next to the Thraide galaxy, there are six core members of the Collins family.

The infrastructure of these two colonized galaxies is very poor and the level of public security is terrible.

Just arrange a few armed forces, disguise them as space pirates and deal with them.

There are fifteen core members, scattered across several colonial galaxies with some military strength.

The local ruling chaebols provide them with security services.

It's a bit troublesome to deal with them cleanly and neatly.

The remaining two core members are the most difficult to deal with.

They live with their relatives on the Federation's home planet, Earth.

The security level is quite high.

The most troublesome thing is that if the mission fails, it will easily attract the attention of the federal government, which is something the current coalition government does not want to see..."

An action plan has been drawn up, but the specific details need to be further fine-tuned due to the difficulty of the task.

By the time the Joint Operations Department was fully prepared, it was already a month later.

On a tourist planet in the Bihar system, 18.6 light years away from the Slade system.

Red Collins was lying on a beach that belonged to him alone, surrounded by the laughter of young girls.

As a marginal member of the Collins family, I am already very satisfied with my current quality of life.

Compared to those family members who are eager to squeeze into the upper-class social circles of the Federation.

Red chose to settle in a remote colonial galaxy.

The wealth he controls would only rank at the bottom in the Collins family. On the Earth Federation's home planet, he couldn't even be called a "rich man". At best, he could only be considered a "poor man with some property."

But when he arrived at the remote colonial galaxy, he instantly became a wealthy man.

He bought a large beach on the most prosperous tourist planet in the area and built dozens of single-family villas of different styles. Many beautiful indigenous people threw themselves into his arms.

Red has even been throwing a party for half a year straight, and the remaining money will allow him to continue squandering for at least another thirty years.

There was some good news recently.

The head of the Corinth family who had been in charge for more than 20 years had died in an insect plague along with his heir son.

There was only one unlucky person left who had the status of heir but whose name was not on the will.

This unlucky guy, according to seniority, Red Collins has to call him his younger brother.

But obviously, the affection between the members of a large family is obviously not as high as the interests. Not long after the incident, Red was persuaded by another group of equally marginalized family members to "blackmail" his "brother Sam" whom he had never met twice in his life.

The main industry of the Slade Mining Group is located in the Slade galaxy.

After being hit by insect infestations, resuming operations would inevitably require huge amounts of money for reconstruction.

This means that the dividends originally belonging to each family member will be greatly reduced.

In comparison, selling Slide Mining Group as a package to other chaebol companies willing to pay a high price sounds more reliable.

“Leon, is what you said reliable?

What if that guy refuses to sell it?"

The days of waiting are always tormenting. Red Collins patted the butt of the beautiful girl riding on him, motioned her to go away, and then dialed the communicator number of his cousin.

“That’s not up to that kid.

Do you know, Red, Uncle Peter is the mastermind behind this matter?

If Sam refuses to agree, Uncle Peter has already contacted a group of interstellar pirates, who will scare Sam to death.

Don't worry that he won't listen.

All we have to do is sign our names, and then we will have enough money to last us eight lifetimes..."

After hearing what his cousin said, Red finally let go of his worries.

Like other chaebols and corporate forces, the Collins family also has some people who are specifically responsible for "gray business".

Peter Collins is one of the best.

The transport ships of Slade Mining Company were hijacked by interstellar pirates several times, and the problems were finally resolved through negotiations by Peter Collins.

I heard that the other party also has some connections on the Federation’s mother planet.

Isn't it easy to deal with a young man in his twenties within the family?

As Red was thinking, a burst of noise came from the communicator beside his ear.

"Fuck, Red, bad, a group of armed men have landed on my estate.

Looks like a bunch of space pirates."

Hearing about interstellar pirates, Red was shocked.

"Leon, nothing's going to happen, right?"

“It’s not a big problem. I have hired a security team of nearly 100 people in my manor, and they won’t fight easily.

It's my bad luck, if I pay them some 'protection money' I should be fine..."

The vast territory of the Earth Federation provides fertile ground for the survival of criminals such as interstellar pirates, especially in remote colonial galaxies.

But most of the time, space pirates are after money, and rarely actually fight with guys who also have bodyguards.

What really puzzled Leon was why this group of interstellar pirates landed on the ground without being discovered by the local colonial galaxy official forces?

While Leon was complaining in his heart, he stood behind the bodyguards who had already loaded their guns, calmly preparing to negotiate with the other party.

However, as a group of armed men in full metal armor landed and walked out of the cabin, Leon felt a little suspicious.

"Leon Collins?"

I heard an electronic synthesized sound coming from under the leading "metal can".

Leon Collins' heart was filled with alarm and he immediately turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

Just as the bodyguards were confused and had not yet figured out the situation, gunshots rang out from the opposite side.

The gunshots coming from the communicator made Red Collins panic. He had no idea what was happening to his cousin.

Just as he was trying again and again to reconnect with his cousin, the whirlwind caused by the operation of the spacecraft's power engine above his head finally caught his attention.

The surface of the battle-damaged spacecraft was uneven and even had some bullet holes, but there was a skull and crossbones flag painted on it, representing interstellar pirates.

"It's not a coincidence, is it?!"

Ignoring the screams of the Aboriginal woman next to him, Red Collins stared blankly at the sky above his head.

“Targets number 22 and 23 have been resolved.

On-site processing is in progress, disguising as space pirates to kill and rob.

After 30 minutes, the interference with the local monitoring signal of the planet can be removed..."

"Action Team No. 20 reports that Target No. 20 has been confirmed dead, and all of the target's relatives have been cleared out. We are now disguising it as a gang vendetta, and it's expected to be over in forty minutes..."

"Operation Group 18 reports that the target cruise ship has been destroyed and is beginning to sink.

The rescue force from the local ruling power is about to arrive, and the action team prepares to create an explosion to clear the target.

Please ask the technical team to monitor the surrounding sea areas for intrusion signals..."

"Operation Team No. 15 is in place. The target has been injected with an overdose of hallucinogens. The estimated time of death is four hours later.

Two replacement hotel waiters have been processed..."

"Action Team 11 reports that a festival celebration is being held in the villa area where the target is located.

There was a lot of interference from indigenous people in the target area, so the action plan was adjusted to Plan B.

Preparations were underway to release alien mutants into the area, and the target villa had been sprayed with bio-information sweeteners in advance to disguise it as an Arazi Zerg invasion.

Do you approve the action?"

"Act now!"

In the joint operations command room, the action groups marked on the big screen attacked almost at the same time.

Members of the Collins family were being swept away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Accidental injuries to indigenous people during the operation were inevitable, but everyone, including the Joint Government Commissioner, turned a blind eye to it.

Because it involves the future progress of the United Government's Plane War, the deaths and injuries of some indigenous people from other dimensions are simply insignificant.

Federal Government home planet: Earth.

Peter Collins received secret intelligence from the "Iron Hammer" interstellar pirate group.

The other party has successfully landed on the Thraide Administrative Planet and captured Sam Collins.

Currently on the way to the Earth Federation controlled area.

Upon hearing the news, Peter Collins was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.

He didn't expect that the "Iron Hammer" interstellar pirate group was really as reliable as the rumors in the industry, and completed the bounty mission he issued so quickly.

In the transmitted video, Sam, who was tied and gagged, had a terrified expression, like a lamb to be slaughtered, waiting for his uncle Peter to visit him.

Thinking of the Collins family wealth that was almost within reach, Peter Collins immediately ordered the "Iron Hammer" interstellar pirate group to go to a secret location outside the core area of ​​the Earth Federation for the handover.

Before leaving, the butler brought him some ridiculous news.

Another member of the Collins family who also lived on the mother planet like him had just suffered a stroke and became paralyzed due to being so excited by the service of a call girl. He has now been diagnosed by the hospital as a vegetative state with no autonomy for the rest of his life.
