#513 - Blind Snake (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

"Everyone, please don't think this is troublesome." Seeing some people's lack of enthusiasm, Anduin immediately said seriously, "I don't want to repeat the importance of this operation, so we must ensure that everything is foolproof. And don't underestimate these tactical movements, they may seem simple, but you still need practice to fully understand them."

"At the same time, during the exercise, I will also activate some traps inside the house to simulate emergencies. This will allow you to become more familiar with the structure of this house, and you will be more calm when responding to situations."

After hearing Anduin's words, everyone realized that they had been a bit lax. They were facing a large criminal organization, and the Silver Spears, which controlled half of the Ministry of Magic. If this operation failed, it could affect the future of the entire German wizarding world.

Therefore, with Andrei's active support, everyone agreed with Anduin's decision.

Anduin nodded slightly, then chuckled and said, "Moreover, I've invested a lot for this pre-operation exercise. All the equipment you use in the exercise is genuine, which will also give you time to familiarize yourself with it."

"Oh, right, besides the [Silencing Charm] and [Hypnotic Charm], I've prepared something else for each of you." After saying that, Anduin led everyone out of the house and back into the conference room.

Then, Anduin took out several items from his body and placed them on the conference table one by one to show everyone.

"Everyone here will receive a set of tactical vests and tactical boots before the operation. I have already equipped the front of the tactical vests with ten [Silencing Charms] and ten [Hypnotic Charms] each, as well as necessary food, drinking water, nourishing potions, and other essentials," Anduin said, pointing to the set of full-body equipment in the middle.

When they saw that Anduin had even prepared equipment for everyone, they all beamed with joy. They had heard of these tactical vests for a long time, but many people had never even seen them.

Thinking of this, the German Aurors cursed Minister Pete in their hearts. This guy not only wanted to split Germany, but also embezzled public funds and used the Ministry of Magic's funds to arm criminals, leaving the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with only two sets of tactical vests.

"In addition to the tactical vests, I have also prepared a new generation of 'Tracking Glasses' for everyone. I have added night vision functionality to them, which will make it easier for everyone to operate in dark environments."

"Also, there are these [Communication Earphones] that can be used for short-distance conversations. With them, everyone can have real-time conversations within a two-kilometer range, similar to the Muggle walkie-talkies. This is a high-end product that is not even available in my trading company."

Anduin showed off the other two props. He had invested a lot in this operation, all to ensure that nothing went wrong.

And when everyone saw these good things that they had never seen before, their eyes were filled with excitement.

"Wait a minute, Anduin, why is this here among the things you're showing?" Moody, who wasn't interested in the equipment he had already seen, was attracted by the other two props on the table.

After Moody's interruption, everyone's gazes followed his, and then everyone's expressions gradually became strange, even with a hint of incomprehension and disgust in their eyes.

And the props they were surrounding at this time were none other than a pure white mask with no facial features and a set of snow-white wizard robes with a hood.

"Isn't this the attire of those Silver Spears? Why is it here?" A quick-tempered German Auror blurted out. These local wizards were very familiar with the Silver Spears' attire.

"Everyone is right." Anduin smiled leisurely and nodded without denying it. "What you see are indeed the standard equipment of the Silver Spears. Everyone will have to wear such a set of attire for this operation."

"Ah? Why do we have to wear the Silver Spears' clothes?"

"That's right, we are Aurors, and we are here to perform official duties. Why should we wear the clothes of criminals?"

"They are already subordinates of the Silver Spears. If we wear this kind of clothing, wouldn't we be recognized immediately?"

Everyone around them questioned one after another, obviously very resistant to disguising themselves as Silver Spears.

And Andrei, Amelia, Moody, Newt, and others standing in front of them were thoughtfully pondering something.

"Let us disguise ourselves as Silver Spears, could it be that you are thinking of...?" Andrei seemed to have figured out Anduin's plan at this time, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"It seems you've realized it too." Anduin nodded, then looked at everyone around him. "Everyone knows that there are a large number of innocent civilian wizards in those breeding bases. If we directly capture them as Aurors, it will easily cause misunderstandings."

"So?" Amelia seemed to have reacted at this time, and looked at Anduin with burning eyes.

"So we have to disguise ourselves as Silver Spears and blame this attack on the Silver Spears, so that even if those civilian wizards are released, they will hate the Silver Spears organization," Anduin explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is, no wonder you don't have any concerns about capturing so many civilian wizards at once. You had already thought of a way out. As long as we take down these wizards in the name of the Silver Spears, they won't blame the German Ministry of Magic. Hehe, I like this method."

Moody showed a sinister smile on his face. He has always advocated using any means necessary against criminals, so he has no psychological pressure to use tricks to deal with the Silver Spears.

"But is it really appropriate to do this? You know, there are many collaborators of the Silver Spears mixed among those wizards. They will definitely know that we are not the Silver Spears," Andrei said. He didn't reject using this method, but could it really work?

"Who said they can be sure that we are definitely not the Silver Spears? As long as we act like them enough, we may be able to deceive them. Moreover, most collaborators have not personally contacted the Silver Spears. The key is those managers in the park. If we can make them believe it, what do you think they will do?" Anduin said with a cold smile.

"You mean? By disguising ourselves as the Silver Spears, we can then lure those managers like Clement to rebel?" Andrei seemed to understand Anduin's idea.

"To deal with these guys, we can use more than just deception. Sometimes, threats or inducements may be more effective. Clement and others have a very high reputation in the park. As long as he takes the lead, it has to be the Silver Spears even if it wasn't," Anduin's voice was light, but the coldness in it was chilling.

"Then, with their power, we can gradually reverse the direction of public opinion in Germany, and even get them to come out and testify, directly exposing Pete's true colors, or exposing all the dirty things of those folk groups!" Andrei also thought of the benefits of doing so, it seemed very feasible.

"But..." Andrei seemed to think of something and hesitated, "So many wizards have been captured by us, then what reason should we use to release them later? And if we let them disperse at will after they are released, it will easily put them in danger. You know, the Silver Spears are a criminal group, we can't expect them to have a bottom line."

"That's actually very simple."

Anduin said, looking at Andrei teasingly, "What do you think of the news headline 'The brave Director Andrei leads the Auror army to rescue innocent citizens from the evil Silver Spears'? After this battle, your reputation will surely be at its peak, and you might even replace Pete as the Minister of Magic."

As soon as Anduin said this, everyone present lit up.

Everyone realized that if things could really progress as smoothly as Anduin envisioned, it didn't seem impossible.

They first play the role of Silver Spears to hijack these civilian wizards, and then Andrei leads the Aurors to perform a heroic rescue, so that Andrei is the savior of everyone, and the prestige of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement will rise to the extreme in the Ministry of Magic.

And the Aurors can completely use the excuse of being afraid of the Silver Spears' revenge to protect them uniformly, so that they are not afraid of the Silver Spears daring to do anything to silence them.

"So this is your ultimate goal?" Amelia looked at Anduin in shock. She didn't expect that this young man had only been in Germany for more than ten days, and he had not only found out so many details about the Silver Spears, but also thought so far ahead, using this to set up the Silver Spears.

If this matter can succeed, then the Silver Spears Club's reputation in Germany will be completely ruined. If they can successfully link the Silver Spears with Pete, they can even drive Pete off the Minister's throne.

"This is actually the second phase of the operation, codenamed 'Blind Snake'. We'll talk about the specific operational details later," Anduin responded with a smile. "And everyone, don't be too optimistic or aim too high. We haven't even completed the first step yet."

Actually, I still have a third phase of the operation, but that's my own business, Anduin muttered silently in his heart.

"Then what are you all waiting for here? Hurry up and take action, everyone put on their equipment and conduct live combat exercises. The success or failure of this operation depends on this, everyone cheer up." Andrei at this time seemed extremely excited, shouting at the surrounding Aurors.

Anduin's plan received the absolute support of Andrei and Amelia, so they were also the most active in the subsequent live combat exercises, even demanding stricter than Anduin.
