Following the route arranged by Hong Guanghong, Chen Ming arrived at the last logistics warehouse that needed to be controlled.
After taking control of this logistics warehouse, the only thing he needed to control was the last industrial colony.
Once the industrial colony is completed, Chen Ming's original mission will be completed.
The total time spent should be about three and a half days.
The efficiency can be said to be quite exaggerated.
However, just when Chen Ming returned to the port and was about to board the spaceship to the next colony.
Song Pu said to Chen Ming on the special terminal: "Are you free now?"
"I just finished taking control of a warehouse. I'm free. What's up?"
"I told you a few days ago about using Cheng Xinghai as bait to set a trap."
Chen Ming subconsciously glanced at Cheng Xinghai, who had already asked Chen Ming and Bai Quan about their acquaintance and familiarity in recent days and had already started asking Chen Ming about his past.
Then he looked away and responded on the terminal: "I remember, do you need me to go to the general's place for help?"
"Yes, just go and control the fleet over there."
"In fact, I could have waited until you had finished visiting the next colony before looking for you, but the recent movements of the other side are a bit strange. I think it's better to arrange some things as soon as possible."
"Also, once you have taken control of the fleet, there is no need to stay there. Otherwise, there might be some accidents if the real Cheng Xinghai stays there."
"The information about Cheng Xinghai's substitute has been passed to the other side through spies. It depends on whether they will come or not."
"It would be best if you come, but if not, just do your work normally."
Song Pu explained everything in one breath. Chen Ming had nothing to say. He responded and turned to calculate his mental state.
After confirming that he still had enough mental strength to do the work and that he did not need time to recover, he started the jump engine.
The destination was set at a frontline military galaxy where Cheng Xinghe was located, not far from him now.
After a short jump.
Chen Ming's ruler appeared in a galaxy with three planets.
Chen Ming immediately activated the spacecraft transponder as usual and broadcast a special spacecraft identification code arranged for him by Song Pu.
This identification code allows him to travel directly to any galaxy or any planet, even military galaxies.
Just like now, the patrol teams in the galaxy that were originally surrounding his spaceship turned around and went back after verifying this identification code, letting him do whatever he wanted.
However, Chen Ming's purpose of coming here this time was very clear, and he directly followed the patrol team that turned around.
Headed to the military orbital space station in orbit of the volcanic planet in the galaxy.
This is a large space station that integrates various military functions. Its overall size is even larger than a pirate space station with a city inside, and it is large enough to dock a large number of spaceships.
Chen Ming’s cruiser was naturally no exception.
It docked successfully at the port of the space station.
The local supreme commander Cheng Xinghe received the news when Chen Ming just jumped into the galaxy.
When Chen Ming landed at the port of the space station, he was already standing at the port to receive him in person.
When Chen Ming got off the spaceship and came in front of him, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Ming with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
But when Chen Ming held his hand, and waved his other hand beside him to close the hatch of the cruiser behind him, a hint of regret suddenly appeared in Cheng Xinghe's eyes.
It can only be said that Chen Ming now has a general understanding of the situation of the siblings Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai.
So Cheng Xinghe's strange attitude at the moment was understandable to him.
However, after hearing that Chen Ming's target this time was Cheng Xinghe, Cheng Xinghai simply hid in his room and became autistic.
Chen Ming went to ask her specifically but she didn't move. She looked like she wasn't ready to face Cheng Xinghe at all, for fear of being ridiculed.
Chen Ming ignored her and got off the spaceship alone.
Although Cheng Xinghe felt a little regretful for not seeing Cheng Xinghai, he did not forget the important things.
It would be more like if Cheng Xinghai really came out, it would cause some trouble.
After all, he couldn't be 100% sure whether there was someone who was a hidden spy in such a public occasion.
So Cheng Xinghe didn't waste any more time and hurried to another port of the space station with Chen Ming.
The port Chen Ming just landed at is the usual port, but the real fleet is not staying here.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Ming looked at the huge military port that was enlarging outside the shuttle's porthole and the densely packed warships docked in the port, and suddenly thought of a question.
He asked Cheng Xinghe, "They said we should set a trap for the other party to fall into. So what should we do specifically then? What might the other party do?"
"What are we going to do specifically? We will definitely prepare an ambush on the space station, and then use the fleet as a backup."
"Since the government forces have obtained clues about Cheng Xinghai, they will definitely use some means to try to get Cheng Xinghai out of our hands."
"The most convenient and effective one is definitely a spy. It doesn't matter if the spy is here to rescue or assassinate, as long as Cheng Xinghai is not in our hands, it will be fine."
"But if the situation is right, the government forces could take advantage of the situation and tear up the contract directly."
"After all, if Cheng Xinghai is here, it means that at least one of us is here too."
Cheng Xinghe pointed at Chen Ming and himself and said, "Like me, like you, or both of us."
"The government forces took advantage of the situation and launched a sudden attack. If they could win, it would be like exchanging one prisoner for one or even two of our people. It would definitely be a win for them."
"From four on five to four on three, I feel like they won't miss this opportunity."
"But if they really give up, then there's nothing we can do. We can just treat this as an exercise."
After explaining Chen Ming's question, Cheng Xinghe added, "By the way, Song Pu asked me to ask you, can the space station be controlled?"
"Yes, and controlling the space station means that I have absolute control over everything on the space station. No spy will have to think about causing trouble on the space station, but this scale..."
Chen Ming pointed to the huge port outside and the space station with such a port and said, "You can only choose between the space station and the fleet within a day."
"Then let's give priority to the fleet. The fleet is the most important. With your psychic power, I can't even imagine how much the fleet's strength will increase."
Chen Ming accepted Cheng Xinghe's compliment and said with a smile, "I think you will know in this simulation."
Cheng Xinghe also smiled.
After the shuttle landed, he took Chen Ming to contact the spaceships belonging to the main fleet of the rebels.
Just as Chen Ming arrived at the space station.
A military base inside a military galaxy in the Galo-3 star zone, on the edge of the ceasefire zone not too far from the front-line military galaxy where Chen Ming is located.
One of the people who was on the opposite side of Chen Ming in this simulation, Dijia, is here.
He and Cheng Xinghe are both prospective graduates majoring in military command, and they have similar positions in the team.
He was in his office at this moment, communicating with the commander-in-chief of their team on a special terminal.
"Are you sure you want to go? Both our fleet and the other fleet are near me now. It will only take half an hour if we want to go."
The commander-in-chief replied on the terminal soon: "Of course we have to go. This is not just to rescue Cheng Xinghai."
"You've also seen the information sent back by the spies in the past few days. The consumption of key materials for the entire Galo-4 has suddenly doubled or tripled out of thin air, but only four days have passed since the beginning."
Although Dijia already knew this, she couldn't help but ask subconsciously when she heard this information again: "Is this really possible?"
"The referee didn't stop the match, so this is possible. Although your mentor and Lieutenant General Bai have conflicts, you'd better not doubt Lieutenant General Bai's character."
Dijia showed a headache expression on her face and dared not say a word.
"Try not to get involved in this kind of thing."
The commander-in-chief also knew Dijia's difficulties, so he casually changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about the outside world for now. Anyway, it is Chen Ming's existence that forces us to do this."
"We lost one person at the beginning, and our industrial capacity was completely overtaken in just a few days. In a few days, they will be able to crush us. With such a huge disadvantage, if we want to win, we can only give up everything and fight to the death."
“Sometimes showing weakness, or even making yourself weak, is a necessary step to win.”
The headache on Dijia's face gradually calmed down, and she said, "I understand. I will do as you ask."
"Okay, remember to keep an eye on the terminal these two days and cooperate with your teammates. Do you still remember your teammates' missions?"
"Remember, they will use the spies they have planted to try to rescue Cheng Xinghai, and if they can't rescue her, they will directly assassinate her."
"My mission is to leap to the opposite side with the fleet while my teammates are trying, and to launch a surprise attack on the position where Cheng Xinghe's fleet is deployed."
"right."
The commander-in-chief responded and emphasized again: "You have to remember that if the spy can investigate the location of Cheng Xinghe's fleet, it means that this is definitely a trap, a 100% trap, but we must step into it."
"Try to come back alive. If you can come back alive, it will be of great benefit to us in the future."
Although the commander-in-chief said so, Dijia had no confidence that he could come back alive. She said, "It's a pity that the soldiers of the government army are too weak. Their morale and faith were completely destroyed after the ceasefire."
"If no one is in charge, I don't even think they are worthy of warming up to Cheng Xinghe. They might surrender or mutiny. If I can command from the rear, at least they won't fall into this situation."
The commander-in-chief was not affected by the natural conditions and said calmly, "Then this is a question of background setting."
"But I feel that if we are the rebels and the enemy is the government army, we will be crushed by troops several times our number on the front battlefield within half a month."
"Chen Ming's ability is definitely enough to guarantee the overall livelihood of the four star regions under such circumstances. Even after we are wiped out, the people in the Galo 4 star region will live even better."
The intelligence that the spies had obtained from Galo-4 in recent days flashed through Dijia's mind. The productivity that was growing at such a terrifying speed really didn't seem like something that an individual could do.
"As expected, the government forces are slightly more advantageous to us."
After Di Jia's communication with the commander-in-chief ended, Chen Ming began to control the fleet in Cheng Xinghe's hands.
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was already the morning of the sixth day after the simulation began.
Chen Ming has completely taken control of the two fleets under Cheng Xinghe's control.
Moreover, his mental strength has almost recovered, and he can start controlling the space station at any time.
But at this moment, Cheng Xinghe suddenly contacted Chen Ming and said, "Unexpected situation, I feel that the other side has begun to move, you retreat first."
Chen Ming, who was about to get off the spacecraft, asked in confusion, "Feeling?"
"All right."
Since Cheng Xinghe said so, Chen Ming had nothing to say.
He stopped getting off the ship and directly activated the Ruler, preparing to jump to the next industrial colony and wait there for a while.
See if Cheng Xinghe’s feelings are reliable.
Just as Chen Ming left the space station and arrived at the next galaxy a few seconds later.
He directly used the rebels' own communication network to pull several other members of the team into the same voice communication channel.
Song Pu was a little confused when he suddenly received Chen Ming's invitation on his private terminal. He asked Chen Ming, "What's going on?"
"I created a voice discussion group."
"Of course I know you pulled this thing, but will this thing..."
Song Pu was naturally worried about the problem of communication signals being monitored. After all, the rebels' communication network used a superluminal communication base station located in hyperspace.
Although the possibility of being monitored is small, it still exists.
However, Chen Ming was not worried about this and said, "It's okay. I controlled several communication base stations along the way. The things I control will not be affected by any electronic interference at all."
Ignoring electronic interference and signal intrusion, Chen Ming can naturally fully ensure that there are no problems with superluminal communication.
Allow the five members of the team to keep communication open at all times.
It doesn't make much sense under normal circumstances, after all, typing on the terminal has the same effect.
However, when it is not convenient to type on a terminal during wartime, the contact information of the basic superluminal communication base station is useful.
"Okay, so you're doing this now, probably for Cheng Xinghe, right? I just received a message from him, and he's about to start."
Chen Ming didn't say anything, but everyone understood this.
Time passes by every second.
During this time, everyone was doing their own thing.
Three hours had passed since Chen Ming set up the communication channel.
Cheng Xinghe suddenly said in the communication channel: "The space station on my side has been interfered with by the signal. They are coming. I will not be responsible for the matters on the space station. I will leave it to you."
The teammates responded one by one, and Chen Ming also perked up.
Then he placed the view of Cheng Xinghe's fleet in front of him.
Cheng Xinghe had two fleets, one of which had disappeared a day ago.
The other one had just assembled and set off from the space station at this moment.
They faced off against a significantly stronger government fleet that had just appeared at the edge of the galaxy, violating the armistice agreement and with more than eighty cruisers.
Although there seemed to be a gap in strength, everyone watching this scene understood that the balance of this battle had tilted towards the rebels from the very beginning.
However, Chen Ming's mentality still had some slight fluctuations.
After all, this was the first time that Chen Ming did not need to command the battle personally and only needed to provide psychic energy value to the fleet.
And now that he has avoided the front line of the battle, he can completely let go and use his psychic powers at will to provide terrifying blessings to the soldiers and fleets on the front line.
The moment when the two hostile fleets each came into firing range.
Suddenly, an extremely dangerous fireworks show appeared in space.
Hundreds of cruisers exchanged fire at the edge of the galaxy. Countless thick laser beams and countless live ammunition weapons that could not be observed by the naked eye in the dark space continuously bombarded the shields of both sides, exchanging the radiation energy of their respective spacecraft.
As the exchange of fire continued, the government forces' shields began to shake and fluctuate abnormally, and were clearly on the verge of radiation overload.
But the rebels' shield remains as solid as a rock.
As the commander-in-chief of the government forces on the battlefield, Dijia watched this scene with sweat dripping down his forehead.
He originally thought that even if he stepped into the trap, at least he would be able to have a good exchange with Cheng Xinghe in the first wave.
He and Cheng Xinghe knew each other and had fought against each other several times. This was the answer he came to after analyzing the military strength of both sides.
But obviously, he was wrong.
He overlooked, or underestimated, Chen Ming's existence.
Chen Ming's spiritual power is not only used in logistics industries.
The greatest use of Chen Ming's spiritual power at the beginning is to act on the spacecraft and provide it with unimaginable support.
At the same time, Ogi received an urgent report that a jump wave had appeared behind his fleet.
About to bite his tail.
Even though Ogi still had some reserve ships that had not been used, and the frontal battle seemed to have just reached its most intense moment.
But everyone watching this scene knew that the rebels would win.
These people naturally include those who are watching the game in the channel.
After Dijia's mentor Lou Wei joined the communication channel, two or three hours had passed outside.
The other mentors of the graduating students who were taking part in the simulated battle had all joined the viewing channel as long as they were free, observing the simulated situation from the perspective of their respective students.
And this time, when Dijia took the initiative to step into the trap, the battle broke out to its most intense moment.
Di Jia's mentor Lou Wei suddenly said to Bai Quan in the spectator channel: "Lieutenant General Bai, is Chen Ming's psychic power really that strong?"
"Can't you see?"
"Oh, of course I saw it. His psychic power is so strong that he can renovate an industrial colony in a star sector in less than four days, control hundreds of cruisers and thousands of destroyers and escorts in less than two days, and even have the energy to continue controlling an industrial colony. This is too strong."
Bai Quan was too lazy to pay attention to him, but there were not only Lou Wei present, but also others.
So he still said: "You may not believe it, but this is what he can do."
Lou Wei asked again: "You mean a person who has been a psychic for less than a year can do these things?"
"You have the guts to say this in front of the people from the Psychic Society."
“…”
Lou Wei was silent for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly and chose to exit the communication channel directly.
No one cared about what Lou Wei was doing and continued to focus their attention on the ongoing simulated battle.
From the students' perspective, Ogika still has the possibility of a comeback.
Half an hour passed quickly in the simulation.
The battle ended at the speed of light.
The government fleet suffered heavy losses, with only a small number of remnants escaping.
The only pity is that the opponent's flagship successfully retreated.
But it was also enough to be called a big victory.
Chen Ming didn’t know what happened to the other side after the battle.
But every word Cheng Xinghe said after the battle seemed full of lingering feelings, given the almost unlimited firepower, shields, and armor.
Cheng Xinghe fully realized how Chen Ming had turned the tables on him and how he beat Cheng Xinghai to tears later.
This cheating-like sense of pleasure made him unable to stop.
However, Song Pu did not indulge him. He quickly asked him to withdraw his troops and not enter the ceasefire zone for pursuit, so as to avoid giving others a chance to criticize him when he was in a great advantage.
After Cheng Xinghe returned to the space station.
Song Pu also sent a document to each of them through the communication network built by Chen Ming.
This document disclosed all of Song Pu's arrangements.
Chen Ming could see that Song Pu had made several back-up arrangements for this plan.
In case the other party knows that this is a trap and is still prepared to take advantage of the situation.
But Song Pu obviously didn't expect that the other party would step directly into the trap and act as if he was completely unaware.
As a result, his preparations for the backhand were not used, but all his preparations for the first hand were put into practical use.
Just when everyone had finished watching, Song Pu said in the communication channel: "In addition to these advance arrangements, I also did some other things just now."
"I have discovered the spies on the space station in advance and arrested them before they could take action. They are currently being interrogated. There are no casualties on the space station."
"I have obtained the record of the battle that just ended and have someone take it and make arrangements. Soon public opinion will completely favor us."
“The government forces will have less support.”
"Also, there is another good news."
Song Pu paused for a moment and said, "The giant dock in the Galo-2 star field was destroyed by the spies I planted and infiltrated when the battle took place."
"The battleship was also severely damaged. Its weapons and shield systems were completely offline. Although it was not completely destroyed in the giant dock, it was forced to leave the giant dock in a very poor combat readiness state. The next time it returns, it will definitely take more than a month for repairs."
"The threat posed by capital ships to us no longer exists."
After Song Pu finished speaking, Hong Guanghong suddenly said, "I also have good news. Relying on psychics, our industrial colony's production capacity has increased by about four times compared to the beginning, and has surpassed the government army in productivity."
“Great all-round performance.”
Song Pu's tone was obviously a little excited, but he immediately adjusted himself and said, "But there is one thing I still need to remind you. I noticed the enemy's spacecraft in the battle just now, especially the cruiser."
"Most of them are relatively old models. The government army should not have only these. So this time they took the initiative to step into the trap and tear up the armistice agreement. It is very likely part of their plan."
"We must not relax until we have achieved complete victory."
When his teammates responded one after another, Song Pu suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I have some news."
"What news?"
Song Pu said in a somewhat strange tone: "The government army accused us of tearing up the armistice agreement and starting the war first."
