The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 381 380. All is fair in war, this is war
“Order everyone to prepare for plane teleportation.

After the transmission is completed, immediately conduct transmission interference to ensure that the main force of the coalition government is trapped here."

"Dimensional teleportation?
Master, aren't we here preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the coalition government?"

General Corvus Glaive was puzzled.

After his wife Proxima Midnight died on Earth, he vowed to avenge her.

In General Dead Blade's view, while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind, and Thanos' army has secretly prepared for the decisive battle.

There are more than tens of thousands of interstellar battleships of various sizes.

There are hundreds of millions of airships, as well as various medium and large aircraft that operate within the atmosphere.

And those most basic and largest number of ground force soldiers have already been exaggerated to the point where they can cover the entire Titan planet.

The process of Thanos' forces executing the "Cosmic Balance Plan" often involves the contact between the fleet and a certain cosmic civilization force.

Judge the other party's technology and military level.

Then, relying on overwhelming military force, they carried out a simple and crude "sustainable development balance plan" against these cosmic civilizations.

That is to screen out the technology and military power within this civilization that can be used by Thanos' forces.

Those who can serve as cannon fodder, grassroots fighters, and elite aliens are all stuffed into various military departments of Thanos' forces.

The old, weak, sick and disabled will be treated as garbage and eliminated.

The "Sustainable Development Balance Plan" is not simply to wipe out half of the population of a certain civilization.

As for the specific screening criteria, Thanos has his own set of simple ideas.

He believed from the bottom of his heart that within a civilization, only the most powerful, strongest, healthiest and bravest groups were the hope for the future development of this civilization.

All the old, weak, sick and disabled are burdens and useless waste.

Thanos' forces have always adhered to this point, so the combat forces under their command are all reserve soldiers plundered from various civilized races in the universe.

Armed with the technology of the Chitauri civilization and military equipment, it has become the greatest military guarantee for Thanos to dominate the universe.

Although the number of support troops sent by the United Government was astonishing, General Grim Reaper was not afraid.

He firmly believes that under the leadership of Thanos, the United Government reinforcements and the human civilization forces on Earth will be completely eradicated.

"decisive battle?
When did I say I wanted to fight the other party here?"

The next move of Thanos' army will be based on the response of the United Government.

If the reinforcements sent by the coalition government are limited in scale.

Then Thanos will naturally not hesitate, and will launch an all-out attack with the force of a mountain crushing the human civilization on Earth to completely crush it.

Once the coalition government sends a large number of reinforcements, even the main force.

Even Thanos has to consider the military power comparison between the two sides.

After his actions were thwarted three times in a row by the United Government, even though he was angry, Thanos had to admit that the United Government was indeed a powerful interstellar civilization.

The reinforcements sent by the United Government at the moment, the most powerful batch of flagship interstellar battleships that have appeared so far, have reached an exaggerated scale of 3,000.

There is no doubt that this is definitely the core force of the coalition government.

Thanos is confident that he can win the war against the opposing main force.

But the price to pay will definitely be terrible.

Instead of fighting with the opponent and both of you getting hurt, it’s better to go all in and have something more exciting.

"Kill them in their plane!"

Thanos' voice was unquestionable, and General Corvus was shocked after hearing it.

As the chief general of the "Obsidian Five", General Corvus's thinking is in fact still limited to the level of "front-line battlefield commander".

All the tactical instructions given by Thanos to him were executed very well.

But he lacks the strategic vision of a "commander".

Just like now, all General Grim Reaper is thinking about is how to avenge his wife.

Faced with the support of the coalition government, how should the vanguard fleet break through the attack and when should the reserve corps enter the battlefield?

How to deal with the ground forces of the human civilization on Earth and destroy them quickly and effectively.

All of this is still limited to the tactical level.

But Thanos was able to see far into the future and see another way to win in the confrontation with the United Government.

Asymmetric strike.

That is, give up the confrontation with the main forces of the coalition government and fight a decisive battle.

He led his army to directly attack the United Government's home planet and logistics base in the alien dimension.

The military wars of civilized races in the interstellar age, advanced interstellar battleships, powerful war machines, and soldiers' equipment are all very important.

But logistics supply, energy supply speed, ammunition reserves, warships, war equipment repair speed, etc. are often the real key.

Thanos is well aware that if he fails to solve the problem of a powerful interstellar civilization's logistics supply chain, supporting industrial system, and large-scale military-industrial manufacturing of planets, he will be unable to resist.

Then even if we completely annihilate the enemy on the front battlefield, we will not be able to truly defeat this civilization.

Only by destroying the enemy's production lines for weapons and equipment, the ship factories for building space battleships, and the core areas for energy storage from the root can we achieve our goal.

Only in this way can we truly strike a blow to the enemy's war potential.

In fact, the fact that Thanos treats it so seriously proves that in his mind, the United Government is already regarded as an "equal opponent."

At least in the plane where Thanos is located, there has never been any civilized force that is worthy of his attention.

"But we have already invested so many troops on Earth."

General Dead Blade was somewhat unwilling.

The hundreds of thousands of ground troops on Earth are secondary.

The fleet of more than 800 Chitauri ships in outer space is the key reason why General Corvus Glaive is reluctant to give it up and feels "painful".

You know, when Thanos' forces broke through the planet Xandar, known as the "cosmic barrier", they lost less than 600 top-level Chitauri battleships.

Now the reinforcements of the coalition government are coming in full force. If you choose to "avoid the war and sneak away", you can run to the different dimension ruled by the coalition government.

That means that the more than 800 Chitauri warships and hundreds of thousands of ground troops on Earth will soon be destroyed.

“Without such tempting bait, how could we possibly attract the main force of the coalition government?

All is fair in war, and that is what war is all about.”

Saying these words with a disdainful look, Thanos decided the fate of the troops attacking the earth with just a few words.

In a war between two interstellar civilizations, the severity of the sacrifices often has no upper limit.

A leader must make the right choices at the right time.

It is not easy for the ground forces attacking the Earth to hold out until now under the siege of enemies that are dozens or hundreds of times their number.

The Chitauri fleet in outer space destroyed nearly half of the United Government’s stationed fleet.

The remaining warships of the United Nations were hunted down like stray dogs.

Even Thanos himself had to admit that they performed their combat mission quite well.

But this did not prevent Thanos from sacrificing them as part of the "bait plan." The dark area not far from the Earth-Moon orbit flashed with a regular white light.

Hundreds and thousands of huge space cracks suddenly appeared in the starry sky of the universe.

As one after another the United Government's flagship interstellar battleships appeared with energy shields running at full capacity.

A huge fleet escorted by interstellar battleships slowly occupied this airspace.

There are more than 8,000 secondary auxiliary ships, including transport ships, landing ships, and special carriers for giant war machinery.

The commander of the United Government's resident fleet was originally being chased by hundreds of Chitauri warships and was fleeing like a stray dog.

The moment I saw this scene, I almost burst into tears.

With a nasal voice that sounded a bit like crying, he personally connected to the communication channel for the support fleet.

He cried and complained that the alien fleet behind him had no moral principles and was bullying the weak with its superior numbers.

It has been a long time since the coalition government was bullied by the majority.

Whether it is the aerospace force or the frontline ground fighters, not to mention the drone forces.

The coalition government has always relied on its abnormal numerical advantage to carry out fierce crushing operations on the battlefield and completely defeat the enemy.

Now we are being bullied by others with our numbers?

Without further ado, the first batch of more than a thousand United Government flagship interstellar battleships that arrived would certainly not allow their brother forces to suffer such injustice.

The flagship's main gun was still charging and aiming, but the high-energy particle beam weapon on the battleship, which served as a secondary weapon, had already begun to fire.

Then came the high-energy laser weapons shooting, so dense that it looked like a rainstorm, illuminating most of the starry sky.

The hundreds of Chitauri fleets responsible for hunting down the United Government's stationed interstellar warships were originally curious about why those desperately fleeing enemy warships began to slow down.

Is there something wrong with the power system?
Or is there insufficient energy supply?
It wasn't until a brilliant light appeared on the other side that I finally understood.

Oh, it turns out that the “parent” from the opposite side has arrived.

The Chitauri warships, which were in sub-light speed pursuit, immediately began to slow down synchronously.

An attempt was made to distribute the energy consumption of the power system, which was originally running at full power, to the force field shield.

But unfortunately, the attack from the United Government's support fleet was faster and more violent than they had imagined.

The few Chitauri warships at the forefront had no time to activate their force field shields at full power.

It was pierced by the high-energy particle beam attack group.

Afterwards, under the bombardment of the main guns of hundreds of the United Government’s main flagship starships, it "disappeared" on the spot and was bombarded into a small molecular energy form that could not be observed by the human eye.

Before long, more than a hundred pursuing warships were killed or injured.

The ideal situation is to activate the force field shield at full power on the spot.

Under the firepower output of thousands of United Government interstellar battleships, it was struggling to hold on, facing the tragic end of "shield shattered and ship destroyed" at any time.

In the rear, in the outer space orbit of the Earth, the remaining Chitauri fleet quickly activated a combat warning.

But as the fleet appearing in the distance becomes larger and larger.

The Chitauri fleet on guard at the original location seemed increasingly powerless.

"Calm down, hold on!

Our main force is in the rear, waiting for the best time to enter the battlefield..."

The commander of the Chitauri fleet in charge of commanding the operation cheered up his middle-level officers.

His explanation successfully stabilized the morale of the middle-level officers of the Chitauri fleet.

But he couldn't convince himself.

Because until now, the orders he received were to fight to the death.

There was no instruction at all to cooperate with friendly forces in the counterattack.

The commander of the Chitauri fleet was feeling uneasy.

The commander-in-chief of the United Government support fleet on the opposite side was also frowning and thinking.

"The plane transfer was so smooth this time?
We cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap set by Thanos’ forces!
The vanguard corps pushes forward, while the main reserve forces remain in place and step up vigilance!
Without my order, all reserve forces and warships are not allowed to attack without authorization!"

Thanos' forces have the ability to interfere with the effects of plane transmission channels.

The coalition government was prepared for this.

For this purpose, they have even made preparations for the alternate dimension Earth to be conquered by Thanos' forces.

But what no one expected was that the support fleet sent by the United Government was basically not affected by any obstructions and entered the different dimension very smoothly.

The United Government has never underestimated interstellar civilization forces like Thanos.

Did Thanos' forces forget to interfere with the plane transfer?
How could you forget something so important?
The coalition government ruled out this possibility from the outset.

The only remaining possibility is that the other party did it on purpose.

Use the Earth battlefield as a trap to lure the United Government support fleet in, and then mobilize a larger-scale military force to encircle and annihilate it.

The specific tactics will certainly be more detailed, but this is the general process that the coalition government has speculated on.

Based on the information collected and the record of Thanos' forces previously annihilating many civilized races, the artificial intelligence finally concluded the possibility of the other party doing so.

96% are traps, and 3.2% are because Thanos' forces are too confident and don't bother to interfere with the plane transmission.

There is also a 0.8% chance that it is due to various unknown factors.

So it eventually led to an extremely strange scene.

The Chitauri fleet, which was outnumbered, did not evacuate, but instead activated its force field shield at full power.

The United Government support fleet, which had an overwhelming numerical advantage, only sent out a small part of it, just over 300 warships to test the front.

Most of the main forces still remained where they were, and even activated their energy shields, as if waiting for some impending attack.

The two sides were engaged in a strange confrontation, nearly 200,000 kilometers apart.

To be on the safe side, the vanguard fleet responsible for the forward pressure did not launch an attack on the Chitauri fleet.

Instead, he launched an attack on the ground forces of Thanos' forces on the surface of the earth in order to test the other side.

The Chitauri fleet was not moved at all, like a hard turtle shell, still running the force field shield at full power.

“There must be an ambush!

They're all steady for me!

I wonder how long the other side can endure this!"

The United Government support fleet dispatched unmanned reconnaissance ships in all directions to collect intelligence, while at the same time strictly restraining its troops and not allowing any loopholes to be exposed.

At the same time, the vanguard fleet that was pressing forward also received the next order to continue attacking the ground forces of Thanos' forces on the surface of the earth, and continued to force Thanos' forces to respond.

The strange standoff continues.

On the other side, Thanos has already controlled the Space Stone and led the main force of his army to the Black Robe Plane under the control of the United Government.

However, the situation seemed to have deviated greatly from what was expected.
