Start with Planetary Governor - Chapter 783
“Report to the commander, the operation in Prison No. 176 has been successful. A total of 1,126 targets have been rescued, with only minor injuries and no deaths.”
“Good.”
Arno Chenko just nodded slightly and turned his attention back to the operation he was personally responsible for.
After Yinbashim’s “rebellion”, the Alliance responded quickly.
A large number of secret agents that had already been deployed in the Eastern Universe were fully mobilized, and in just eleven days, all preparations for the operation were made.
Their core operation area is in the capital of the Eastern Universe, Wujixing.
Before this, the special service struggle between the Alliance and the Yinbashim government was basically just a joke, without any serious elements.
The ones fighting with Yinbashim were nothing more than some agents from the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
In fact, there are more than just these few people arranged to Wujixing?
The agents of the three foreign intelligence organizations did not fight with all their strength, not to mention that there was also a demon hunter team, a special operations brigade belonging to the army, two thousand soldiers of the Glory Guard, and even four Space Marine companies!
These four companies came from Huangquan Owl and Blood Shark, two from each.
Added together, the total number of people exceeded 20,000.
And they were all elite!
Even if they were used for frontal combat, this was a very strong force, not to mention that they were all professionals proficient in special operations.
It would be difficult to secretly transport so many people and so much equipment into a planet without being discovered.
But on Wuji Star, it was an exception.
The local dignitaries hated Yin Bashim. The alliance has established a very good network of relationships here, and the support for the alliance is very high from the dignitaries to the civilian class. They provided countless conveniences for the alliance’s actions.
Whether it was infiltration, lurking, or mobilization, it was the same.
Twenty thousand people, not only completely hidden under Yin Bashim’s strict defense, but now they are directly mobilized in full force, which is not small, but Yin Bashim, the chairman of the universe, is right under his nose, but he didn’t notice it at all.
The assault on several prisons holding members of the alliance caravan is just a trivial part of the operation, which can be carried out by the soldiers of the special operations brigade in groups. With the help of local forces, from intelligence to action, everything is successful.
Arno is theoretically the main person in charge of the rescue operation of the members of the alliance caravan, so the results of the operation will be reported to him.
But to be honest, he doesn’t care about these details at all.
What’s there to worry about if it’s bound to succeed?
What he cares about most is the present.
He is not the commander-in-chief of the entire operation. Although he wants to, his qualifications and status are not enough. In addition to being the leader of the marginal task of rescuing the caravan, he also has an important job, which is to meet the alliance’s most important action team and assault the “Wuji Palace”.
Wuji Palace is Yin Bashim’s residence, a large palace city.
After he moved in, all the staff in the entire palace city, whether servants or guards, were replaced by his own people.
As the political situation he faced became worse, his sense of uneasiness became stronger. The number of guards was constantly increased, almost to more than 10,000 people.
It’s not that he didn’t want more, it’s true that if the entire Wuji Palace added more troops, it would become a large military camp.
But he still felt that it was not enough, and his sense of security was not satisfied, so he simply turned several residential areas and mansions on the east and west sides of Wuji Palace into military areas. He carefully selected 300,000 people from the most reliable troops he brought from Holy Terra and stationed them in these places.
Wuji Palace did not become a large military camp, but the surrounding areas of Wuji Palace became military areas, implementing strict military control, and those who were not trusted were not allowed to even approach.
Only in this situation did Yin Bashim feel a little relieved.
There are dozens of kilometers around, and everyone is our own people. There should be no problem, right?
But is it really safe?
That may not be the case.
When Arno was sent to Wuji Star, he was thinking about how to infiltrate Wuji Palace all day.
The main reason is that this place is a bit challenging. There is no need to infiltrate other places. You can go in and out as easily as a big sieve.
Not only he and the Central Bureau of Investigation behind him think so, but also the Military Intelligence Bureau in the military thinks so.
And the result… is of course good!
In addition to the fact that the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation are quite good, the objective factor of the outside world is that the large military camp surrounding Wuji Palace is said to be composed entirely of Yin Bashim’s people, but in fact it is impossible.
Could it be that all the food, drink, defecation and urination come from Holy Terra?
There must be someone to transport supplies, transport garbage out, and even provide various service positions.
In the eyes of an experienced person like Arno, these are all flaws. The so-called strict defense is actually full of holes.
That is to say, inside the Wuji Palace, Yin Bashim’s people are indeed guarding more strictly and it is not easy to infiltrate.
But it is not really impossible.
However, this requires the help of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
The Foreign Intelligence Bureau’s work results in the Eastern Universe are relatively average. Their main energy is to win over and help local people in the Eastern Universe. They do less infiltration, espionage, and sabotage. The Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation also tacitly exclude the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
Although they are collectively called the three major foreign intelligence agencies of the Alliance, their respective responsibilities are actually slightly different, and their respective superior departments are also different. One is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Government, one is the Legal Affairs Center, and one is the Military Department. Most of the time, they cooperate more than compete.
But on the same big project, even if they are responsible for different directions, they always like to show off and compete with each other to see who contributes more.
If you can avoid asking for help, then naturally try not to ask.
But unfortunately, to sneak into the Wuji Palace, you have to ask them for help.
In the past twenty years, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau’s main work direction is actually Holy Terra, which is why they did not do as well as the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Eastern Universe at the beginning.
However, what a coincidence, isn’t this Yin Bashim from Holy Terra?
Before he prepared the personnel and set out from Holy Terra, the Foreign Affairs Bureau’s office in Holy Terra had tried every means to plant a secret line in it.
To sneak into the Wuji Palace, you have to ask them for help.
Otherwise, you can only attack by force.
Although it is not impossible to attack, there are faster, more stable and less costly means, so why bother? If the governor knew that they had a better way but didn’t use it because of the sectarianism between departments, resulting in higher casualties and higher costs, then I’m afraid they would be in trouble when they go back.
It’s better to be honest and do what you should do.
The Foreign Affairs Bureau also handed over very quickly. After the top leaders of the three bureaus communicated with each other and signed and confirmed, the specific information and contact methods of the secret lines lurking in the Wuji Palace and around Yin Bashim were sent to Arno.
After contacting the master and agreeing on a time, Arno personally brought his elite subordinates and arrived as scheduled.
Later, Arno worked with the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Foreign Intelligence Bureau to build a passage from the outer military camp to the interior of Wuji Palace.
On the day when the operation started, after the attack on the prison began, Arno suppressed his restlessness and waited patiently.
Soon, the news he was waiting for came.
The secret line sent a message that Chairman Yin Bashim attached great importance to the attack on the prison. He sent his trusted direct troops from the military area near Wuji Palace to investigate.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
At the same time, he asked many local dignitaries to come to Wuji Palace to see him. He believed that the attack on the prison and the rescue of the alliance people were inseparable from those dishonest local dignitaries. He had to call these dishonest guys out and give them a good beating.
So far, the time is ripe.
The secret agent who was not low in status beside Yin Bashim made some adjustments when the troops were mobilized and the security was preparing for the subsequent meeting. He deliberately left about fifteen minutes of gaps in the patrol and defense arrangements.
In the military area outside the Wuji Palace, Arno was sure to leave a passage directly to the Wuji Palace, ensuring that there would be no problem for an hour of unobstructed traffic.
So it was foolproof, right?
Arno sent a message to his superiors that he could take action, and then waited here.
If the previous ones were only special operations and struggles in the dark, then the next ones would be serious military operations.
Who would be responsible?
In the dark, the armored personnel carrier convoy painted in the style of the Solar Auxiliary Army drove in and gradually approached Arno’s current location at a slow speed.
Arno’s disguise at the moment was a captain officer of the Solar Legion. He saluted pretentiously, and then stepped forward to check the documents.
The driver was a soldier of the Star Army painted in the style of the Solar Auxiliary Army, which was normal. But through the rear observation window that he had intentionally opened, he saw six giants wearing dark gray power armor. The blood drop logo on the top of the helmet and the blood-red shark on the shoulder all showed their identity: the Blood Shark Regiment.
There were a total of twelve such armored personnel carriers, advancing in a patrol posture, with a total of more than seventy Blood Shark Space Marines.
Is it enough?
Arno was a little skeptical.
Under normal circumstances, it is enough. However, it is a bit problematic to deal with a senior official from Holy Terra.
There are also Space Marines protecting Yin Bashim.
According to intelligence, there are a total of two hundred Space Marines in this group, all of whom are in the Wuji Palace.
Fifty of them are from five different regiments, all of which are active in the central territory and are deeply influenced by the central government of the empire. These regiments are often recruited by the central government of the empire to do other things.
Protecting important personnel is a routine task.
There are also fifty warriors sent by a ship-based regiment called “Ice Wing Serpent” recruited by Yin Bashim himself. The fleet-based regiments all have to earn their own living. Yinbashim pays them, and the mission is a serious matter. It is not surprising that they can recruit fifty space warriors.
Another hundred warriors come from the “Sword of the Light” regiment. This is a sub-regiment of the Infinite Regiment, and their home planet is in the Eastern Universe.
There are four Space Marine Chapters whose home planets are in the Eastern Universe, and the Sword of Light is one of them. And they are also the most distant one from the Alliance in the past few decades of trade. After Yinbarshim came to the Eastern Universe, he continued to win over this chapter, and the relationship between the two sides quickly became hot.
The title of Holy Terra and the Central Empire is still useful.
This chapter agreed with Yinbarshim last year that it would continue to send a full company to provide him with security protection in rotation.
Arno knew that the Blood Shark Chapter was strong, and they fully proved themselves in the Iron Armor War.
But more than 70 people against 200 people?
It’s still a bit too much, right?
Didn’t 400 of their own Space Marines sneak in? Why only 70 people were used?
He was quite puzzled, but he was only the first-line person in charge of the special operation, not even the general person in charge, he still had a superior. Not to mention, there is a difference between special operations and military operations. At the level of military operations, the real commander is a company commander of the Blood Shark.
After watching the Blood Shark convoy leave, Arno hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
There was no evacuation arrangement for the entire operation. Their goal was not just to kill Yin Bashim, but more importantly, to occupy the Wuji Palace, a clear political center. At that time, there will be a “rebellious” Wujixing Provisional Government to take over this place, and an acting chairman of the Universe will be elected.
Therefore, there is no need to keep too much power to take over the rear.
Arno can also extract about a thousand troops as a mobile force to act now.
His original plan for these people was to create chaos in the military area around the Wuji Palace after the battle started, and to cooperate with the subsequent battle against the military area’s solar auxiliary army.
But at this moment, he decided to take these people and move to the core area of the Wuji Palace.
Once the battle inside the Wuji Palace started, he would immediately bring people to support.
It was hard for him to say how effective a thousand special forces soldiers would be in the company-scale confrontation between Space Marines, but it was better to have this insurance than nothing.
But the facts that followed made Arno a little embarrassed.
It was not a bad thing for him to act on his own. He was also the person in charge of the front-line operations, and this was within his authority.
However, he found that he was worrying too much.
As soon as the gunfire inside the Wuji Palace sounded, he led his men to rush in. It took about 20 minutes for his men to rush to the core area of the Wuji Palace after some short and fierce exchanges of fire.
Then, he saw the bodies of enemy Space Marines lying all over the ground.
More than half of them were broken into pieces, and their deaths were miserable.
