Combined Arms Operation! Disaster Looms Over Silver Peak
749 Bureau Headquarters, Tactical Operations Room Number One.
Sing Sing leaned back in his chair, his toes bobbing idly, a half-lit Double Happiness cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes fixed on the holographic screen on the wall.
Hu Yingying, dressed in her uniform, stood in front of the screen, holding a pointer in her hand, and glanced at the Alpha Flight window on the right-hand split screen.
"Colleagues, it is 4:00 AM North America time, 5:00 PM Beijing time. The transoceanic joint offensive deployment meeting is now beginning."
She pressed the button on the remote control in her hand, and a world map appeared on the electronic screen.
Four red-glowing coordinate points are distributed in different areas.
"Old Wu, A Le, let's get a report on the final results of your interrogation."
Sitting in the front row on the left, Ling Lingwu touched his bald head, took out old-fashioned glasses from his pocket and put them on his nose, then opened the thick stack of files in front of him.
"A Le and I conducted a cross-interrogation of Prisoner Prisoner Prism and Arclight..."
A Le grinned as he held up the encrypted tablet to add to the explanation.
"The two international friends were very cooperative with our work. As soon as they heard that someone at the mother's nursing home was renewing their fees and that they could get priority to wear our special striped work clothes, they immediately confessed everything."
"Miss Sinister, Claudine Lenco, is currently working with the Hellfire Club."
"The Wendover Base and Blood Willow Manor that Ling Ling Qi previously destroyed were merely their peripheral raw material gathering stations."
Ling Lingwu took over the conversation, and four topographic profile maps taken by high-altitude satellites appeared on the projection screen.
"Based on the confessions and a comparison with the already unlocked Silver Peak offline Cryptographic Key database, Silver Peak currently has only four core bases remaining."
"The Zero Gene Furnace is located beneath the permafrost of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and beneath the Roswell Desert in New Mexico."
"A geothermal experimental site on the rim of Yellowstone Crater in Wyoming; the cloning center at the bottom of Death Valley in Nevada."
In the split-screen video, Alpha Flight's commander Guardian, leaned close to the camera, his expression serious.
"Director Wang, the Calgary permafrost is right on our doorstep, and your unit's Wolverine and Silver Fox are still active in Canada."
"This core base in the permafrost zone is now under the full responsibility of our Alpha Flight."
Director Wang, sitting in the main seat, readily agreed.
"Alright, since our ally is so sincere, we'll leave that thorn in Canada to you to remove. The intelligence section will share thermal imaging data in real time."
Setting down his teacup, Director Wang looked at the officers sitting upright on either side of the conference table.
"The remaining three core bases will be handled by our bureau's three main action teams. They will all move in simultaneously tonight, giving Miss Sinister no time to escape!"
"One team will be led by Ling Ling'er."
"Duan Shuiliu, Yang Liqing, and Tony, working together, are responsible for eliminating Zero Gene Furnace in the Roswell Desert, New Mexico."
Yan Shuangying sat in the corner, fiddling with the silver dollar in his hand, without uttering a sound.
The Duan Shuiliu, and he crossed his arms, looking rather uninterested.
"What's the point of following Ling Ling'er around and picking up scraps? I can take down that bunch of scum in Roswell all by myself."
Tony sneered, "If you think there are too many people in the way, you can go and step on the landmines yourself when we get into the desert underground."
Yang Liqing, who was next to her, tossed her high ponytail behind her head and slapped the table.
"Alright, enough talk. Once we're on the battlefield, whoever gets the most kills is the real skill."
Director Wang ignored the bickering between the group members.
These two can only talk a lot, but if you put Tony and Ma Jun together, they'll definitely start a full-blown fight.
"Group Two is led by Ling Ling Qi."
"Li Ding'an, Shi Xiaoyan, and Xu Xi are traveling together, their destination being the geothermal experimental field at Yellowstone Crater in Wyoming."
"Group Three will be led by Ling Ling Liu."
"David, Hong Wubi, Hua Xinwu, follow up. They are responsible for taking down the Matrix Cloning Center at the bottom of Death Valley Nevada."
Chan Ka-kui excitedly slapped the table. "Don't worry, Director Wang, this time I will definitely take care to protect the public property at the scene and try my best to leave two load-bearing walls unbombed!"
Director Wang gave a soft "hmm" and continued speaking.
"Ling Lingwu, Lingling Jiu, and Hu Yingying will remain at headquarters to coordinate overall intelligence and support."
"Da Vinci and Jiang Si are responsible for providing special equipment support for this operation."
After reading the list, Director Wang closed the folder and prepared to announce the next step of the process.
"Wait, wait! I have an objection!"
Sing Sing took the cigarette out of his mouth and raised his right hand.
"Director Wang, something's not right. Did you miss printing two pages of this list? Where are Cao Dahua, Li Hongqi, Ma Jun, and Yang Jianhua?"
Sing Sing looked at the four people opposite him, puzzled.
"Aren't they still sitting here? Don't they have anything to do?"
"Shut up! The bureau has its own arrangements!"
Director Wang glared and tapped the table twice.
"Slice out the second battle plan for this kid, so he doesn't keep causing trouble here!"
Hu Yingying smiled and pressed the remote control.
As the sand table view zoomed out, more than a dozen densely packed yellow coordinate points appeared around the original four core red dots, scattered across the east and west coasts of North America.
"To prevent the Silver Peak Consortium from using the surrounding smuggling docks, abandoned mines, and secret transit points to transfer personnel or launch flanking maneuvers."
"The Party Committee of the Bureau has decided to simultaneously form four field assault teams to thoroughly eliminate these peripheral strongholds."
Hu Yingying used a laser pointer to point to the yellow coordinates one by one.
"Field Operations Team Number One, led by Cao Dahua from the Field Support Department, and including Storm Ueda Kenji, is responsible for clearing out three underground salt mine sites around Detroit Michigan."
Cao Dahua's hand trembled as he brought the teacup to his lips, nearly spilling the tea, and he jumped up from his chair on the spot.
"No way, Director Wang? You want me to lead the charge?"
"My old bones can only withstand small-caliber pistol shots; I can't hold my own against heavy machine guns!"
"Sending you there means you're being provided with Omega-level air support! All you need to do is record the scene clearly with your body camera!"
Hu Yingying glared at him, then continued reading.
"Field Operations Team Two, led by Li Hongqi and accompanied by Riptide and Dust Angel, is tasked with raiding the Silver Peak maritime smuggling port on the east coast of Maine."
Li Hongqi, wearing a navy blue duty jacket, grinned and patted his chest.
"Alright, perfect timing for a trip to the beach to enjoy the breeze!"
"Field Operations Team Three, led by Ma Jun, with Colossus as his partner and the unofficial member Deadpool, is responsible for eliminating the armed transit point in the cathedral in the suburbs of Chicago."
Ma Jun clenched his fists, a fierce look appearing on his face.
"Field Operations Team Four, led by Yang Jianhua, with partners including Gambit and Messenger, is responsible for taking over the underground intelligence hub on the outskirts of New Orleans, Louisiana."
Sing Sing blinked as he looked at the four teams clearly assigned on the sand table.
"Heh, you should have said so earlier! So it turns out you're talking about multi-service combined arms operations. Director Wang, you have such foresight; I was just being naive."
Uncle Biao, who was sitting next to him, pushed up his reading glasses and pushed an attendance allowance approval form with a red stamp in front of him.
"Ah Qi, I personally spoke with each person on the list to confirm their mental state and practical experience before approving their application."
"Colossus, Storm, and Gambit are all veterans who have participated in wars. When they heard they could take down Silver Peak's stronghold, they even volunteered to write letters of request!"
Uncle Biao slowed down his tone.
"As for Polaris, I know she is very powerful."
"But she hasn't experienced any life-or-death battles, so she's not within our consideration."
"Soft Serve, Full Bars, Flower Bud Sprout, and all the other kids you just brought back from Detroit, stay behind and focus on your studies."
"Our 749 Bureau recruits people to give them a good life. We would never do something as despicable as sending teenagers to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Don't worry."
Sing Sing Chow grinned.
"Uncle Biao is really reliable. When I get back from Yellowstone Park, I'll bring you two bars of genuine volcanic sulfur soap to wash your feet!"
