He knew that the rebel army wouldn’t succeed so easily, even with the support of the governnt army and backing of public opinion, it wouldn’t be as effortless to keep up with their already developed pace.
"So while it seems like a feasible plan, if we know the specifics, it wouldn’t be that feasible after all."
"Manipulating public opinion properly while we hold the initial advantage should suffice."
"Moreover, the demise of the governnt army is insufficient to prove that the new rebels are capable of governing this Star Realm. It definitely requires intervention from a higher official authority."
"We can publicly express to the new rebels that we are willing to maintain a month of peace, allowing ti to test."
"But I can confirm that the governnt army absolutely will not coexist peacefully with us, and there’s certainly more to their thods than that."
Chen Ming suddenly had an idea and said, "Do you rember that missing main ship? Could they possibly use that thing to do sothing?"
"The weapons and shield system of that main ship have already been damaged, even giving the opposite side another month would still not be enough to repair it, likely ruling it out."
"Still, consider the other thods they might use and prepare in advance."
Ti passed day by day.
Chen Ming continued collaborating with Hong Guanghong to expand the colony, ensuring basic industry.
Song Pu kept a close watch on the overall situation, arranging various tactics against the new rebels.
anwhile, Cheng Xinghe was still eliminating remnants of the governnt army, attempting to control more star systems in preparation for possible attacks by the new rebels and the impending encirclent a month later.
During this process,
the developnt montum of the newly erged rebel army was startlingly rapid.
In just a few days, they swiftly expanded from a corner of Galor-2, occupying more than half of Galor-2 at a speed no one had anticipated.
The new rebels continued to advance towards Galor-1, with their expansion speed becoming increasingly exaggerated.
anwhile, with the remnants of the governnt army continually operating near the borders of Galor-1, Galor-2, and Galor-3/4, they kept disrupting Cheng Xinghe’s tasks.
As a result, the expansion speed of the old rebels had fallen behind over these days.
Not just slightly behind, but significantly so.
Of course, everyone on Chen Ming’s side knew that the new rebels had traces of the original governnt army, so their fast developnt was normal, but their speed was a bit exaggerated.
Moreover, for reasons unknown, in the public opinion across the Star Realm, there seed to be a trend of comparing the new rebels with the old rebels.
The comparison was not direct, but the strange aspect was that the achievents of the new rebels seed to be attributed to the old rebels, as if stepping on the old rebels to rise.
This trend was clearly incorrect.
However, the public opinion didn’t directly dean the old rebels; instead, it indirectly placed the new rebels in a higher position.
Recently, Song Pu could only use his own propaganda to try to suppress this trend, but the effect seed rather ineffective.
The entire Star Realm’s public opinion favored the new rebels, which was very strange.
Song Pu, while once chatting with Chen Ming, expressed frustration, saying that the spies he planted in the new rebels could barely obtain any information.
It seed that those originally from the governnt army, after defecting, beca like different people, suddenly gaining a belief for the people, making it remarkably difficult to infiltrate compared to their own rebel soldiers.
The limited intelligence gathered by the spies seed to indicate that besides the unstoppable expansion of the new rebels, their efficiency in various industrial productions was also extrely exaggerated, at least more than when the governnt army controlled the star systems.
It was as if their logistics and engineers could crush Hong Guanghong and Dong Miao.
Furthermore, Song Pu’s assassination plan could not be effectively implented, after all, the governnt army had already collapsed when the assassination plan was still being laid out; several main targets were legally dead, their real whereabouts long unknown.
The only lead, Di Jia, was constantly roaming throughout the four star zones, relying on plunder and so unknown sources of funding to incessantly harass Cheng Xinghe’s fleet.
This constant presence within the fleet made it impossible to assassinate him.
Though for the old rebels, the overall situation remained stable and positive.
But witnessing the overwhelming rise of the neighboring new rebels added a few more pressures to the hearts of Chen Ming’s team.
And those few rivals that Song Pu had been preoccupied with, belonging to the governnt army...
... were now sitting openly in the office at the rebels’ headquarters.
At the ti of the governnt army’s downfall, they had undergone top-notch dical costic surgery of the era, making it impossible for anyone to recognize their original identities unless capable of obtaining a sample for genetic comparison.
Usually, doing so in simulation would be sowhat disgraceful, but losing visibly was obviously more humiliating.
And at this mont, in the office of their chief commander, the chief was looking at a terminal where one of his teammates asked him, "How is the situation?"
The chief commander’s expression was tense, and after flicking ashes into an ashtray filled with cigarette butts, he said, "Good, inexplicably good."
"What do you an?"
"Just inexplicably."
The chief commander’s expression was sowhat inexplicably uncomfortable, continuing to type on the terminal, "This was a plan we made in absolute desperation, it logically shouldn’t proceed so smoothly without us striving desperately to achieve it."
