After the fierce conflict with the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance last time, although the base successfully resisted the enemy's attack again, it also suffered considerable losses. I knew very well that the enemy wouldn't give up so easily, and the next attack might be even more ferocious. So, I decided to start laying plans in secret, looking for an opportunity to break their alliance and weaken their strength.
I first gathered Lynn, Kevin, and Tom, the core team members, to discuss the plan. "We can't just keep defending passively. We have to take the initiative," I said.
Lynn nodded. "Captain, I've also been thinking about it. I found that there isn't a completely close - knit relationship between the Steel Alliance and the Iron Blood Gang. There are interest disputes between them."
Kevin frowned. "But how can we take advantage of the disputes between them?"
Tom scratched his head. "How about we launch another sneak attack on them?"
I shook my head. "Although a sneak attack can have a certain effect, it can't solve the problem fundamentally. We need a more long - term plan."
After some discussion, we decided to start with intelligence gathering. I arranged for Lynn to use her electronic technology to infiltrate the communication networks of the Steel Alliance and the Iron Blood Gang to obtain their communication information. At the same time, I sent out reconnaissance teams to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory to collect intelligence on their troop deployments and material reserves.
Lynn worked day and night and finally managed to crack part of the enemy's communication encryption. By monitoring their conversations, we learned that there was a huge contradiction between the Steel Alliance and the Iron Blood Gang in terms of material distribution. Relying on their advanced technology and powerful strength, the Steel Alliance dominated the cooperation and took most of the supplies, which made the Iron Blood Gang very dissatisfied.
"This is a good breakthrough," I said excitedly. "We can use this contradiction to create some incidents and make their relationship even more tense."
So, we started the next step of the plan. I asked Lynn to create some false intelligence and leak it to the Iron Blood Gang, making them think that the Steel Alliance was secretly scheming to monopolize all the benefits. At the same time, we caused some small troubles on the enemy's transportation routes, making their material transportation go wrong, and then blamed it on the other side.
After some time, we clearly felt that the relationship between the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance had become more and more tense. The quarrels and conflicts between them became more frequent, and they even started to shift the blame on each other in some tasks.
"It seems that our plan is working," Lynn said with a smile.
However, just when we thought everything was going according to plan, we suddenly received news from the reconnaissance team. It turned out that the Steel Alliance seemed to have detected our small tricks. They began to strengthen their internal defenses and also put pressure on the Iron Blood Gang, demanding that they jointly fight against us.
"Damn it, they're going to unite against us," I tightened my heart.
I immediately called the team members to re - formulate the plan. "We can't let them succeed. We have to further intensify their contradictions before they unite," I said.
This time, we decided to take more radical measures. I led an elite team to infiltrate an important material warehouse of the Steel Alliance. We placed some timed bombs in the warehouse and then deliberately left some marks of the Iron Blood Gang.
When the bombs exploded and the warehouse was destroyed, the Steel Alliance naturally blamed it on the Iron Blood Gang. They sent their troops to attack a stronghold of the Iron Blood Gang. The Iron Blood Gang naturally wouldn't sit back and do nothing. They fought back vigorously, and the two sides were involved in a fierce battle.
"Captain, our plan has succeeded," Tom said excitedly.
Looking at the melee between the enemies, I didn't relax at all. "This is just temporary. We can't let our guard down. We have to take advantage of this opportunity to expand our results."
I arranged for Lynn to continue monitoring the enemy's communication to understand their next move. At the same time, I asked Kevin and Tom to lead some team members to harass the enemy's rear and disrupt their deployment.
With our continuous interference, the contradiction between the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance became deeper and deeper, and their battle became more and more intense. And we observed the development of the situation secretly, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
Finally, the opportunity came. After a long - time battle, both sides suffered heavy losses and their strength was weakened. I thought it was time to launch a general attack.
I gathered all the team members for the final pre - battle mobilization. "Guys, it's time for us to strike. The enemy has been worn out by us. We have to break their alliance once and for all and make them never threaten us again."
The team members were in high spirits and all expressed their willingness to follow me to fight to the end.
We divided into three groups and launched an attack on the remaining forces of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance. Lynn used the electronic jamming equipment to disrupt the enemy's communication and weapon systems. Kevin's shield provided strong protection for our team members. Tom released a raging fire, burning the enemies to ashes.
Under our fierce attack, the enemy retreated steadily. The remaining forces of the Iron Blood Gang and the Steel Alliance surrendered one after another, and their alliance was completely broken.
"We've won!" the team members cheered.
Although we achieved a great victory this time, I knew that the danger in the wasteland wasn't over yet. There were still more challenges waiting for us. However, I believed that as long as we united as one, we would surely be able to overcome all difficulties and survive in this wasteland.
