The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 657: Driving away wolves and devouring tigers
Although he had a general plan, Jiang Hui did not immediately take action. No matter how casual the plan was, it still needed to be planned. Otherwise, it would be reckless and blind, and it would be very bad if things went wrong.

Jiang Hui reorganized the group of about one hundred people according to the plan she had already considered. In fact, the general personnel arrangement remained unchanged, and most of the familiar people were still together. Because the group had already formed a system before, it would be bad if Jiang Hui made arbitrary changes upon arrival, as it would increase the anxiety of these people.

Therefore, Jiang Hui focused on changing the patrol system and sentry routes. Jiang Hui felt that there were really big problems in this regard. Even if it wasn't her that they encountered today, but someone else, they would probably have been caught with a little effort. So it's not unjust that this group of people were caught.

Previously, a flat, small-team management system was used here, which led to the situation where people were swapped out of their teams, giving others an opportunity to take advantage. Therefore, Jiang Hui adopted a segmented management system, with six people per group and three people per fixed half-group, rotating regularly within half-groups. Moreover, each handover is done according to a fixed, sequential numbering combination, meaning that everyone's whereabouts are traceable, and Jiang Hui can know everything about them.

Some might say, "How is that possible? Even with their current small team, such a complex method seems difficult to implement, at least under such rudimentary conditions." Furthermore, there's a significant drawback: it's prone to various problems.

But who is Jiang Hui? She's someone who can turn her mental energy into a sweater. Over the years, she's been constantly experimenting and honing her mental strength, giving her a level of adaptability and precision that's hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Jiang Hui's perception and control over mental power are beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

If there were a machine monitoring this moment, one could see countless spiritual threads spreading out from Jiang Hui's spiritual sea, centered on him, orderly and perfectly distributed in all directions. Despite their large number, none of them intersected; some even avoided each other, occasionally twitching to deftly guide another straying thread back onto its proper path, displaying a remarkably human-like quality.

This ability is extremely rare even among gifted individuals. Even Huan Xian, who guided her in training her mental strength, had to admit that in terms of malleability and precision, he was far inferior to Jiang Hui... Of course, in terms of control and penetration, Jiang Hui was also far inferior to him.

Back to the main point. With such a unique talent, Jiang Hui can manipulate hundreds of connections with ease. He can clearly sense the state and location of everyone connected to him. He can even connect these points into lines, drawing diagrams. You are truly unique. Sometimes, this is the church.

But for him, this complex exchange with Yan Yan was surprisingly simple. He acted on his impulses, only needing to pre-determine a precise location to transfer the task without any hesitation.

Jiang Hui had a premonition that this method would allow him to achieve an extremely high level of control over the team. Of course, nothing was clear yet.

After everyone was dismissed from the command room and taken to their respective positions, only ten people remained in the command room, including Jiang Hui and eleven others. Seven of them were the original high-ranking officers of this base tower, and the remaining three were the team that Jiang Hui brought over: Xiao A, 276, and 899.

It's necessary for the former to stay here, because they know this base tower best. Jiang Hui needs to know more and also needs their continued assistance in operating the tower. She still has too few people under her. If she wants to develop further, she can't continue in this state of being a lone commander. Naturally, she needs to start recruiting some useful people.

The latter is because they arrived a little late and were unaware of the situation, so they need to be explained in detail before they can work things out.

She didn't answer the question 1002 had asked Jiang Hui earlier on the spot, because it was clearly not the right time to talk about it.

What are her plans? Since she's already in the inner area, she definitely needs to claim some territory. What else would she be doing here if she didn't? To say she's here for sightseeing and participation would be something even she wouldn't believe.

Since he had participated, Jiang Hui naturally wanted to give it his all; he didn't want to lose to anyone. However, these kinds of things weren't something he could just decide to do as he pleased. Over the years, Jiang Hui had participated in many command and decision-making games, with varying formats and outcomes.

Although she lost seven out of ten times when playing chess against Huan Xian, she managed to win two or three times, and she had learned some lessons... that in order to win, you must take the initiative.

Taking the initiative sounds easy, but it's easier said than done. After all, with so many enemies and such limited resources and territory, what makes them think they can secure a place? They have nothing but the opportunity to choose, which is far too little of an advantage.

Jiang Hui originally planned to occupy the base tower first and then make other plans, because they still had too few things at their disposal. Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter a small but significant opportunity.

Jiang Hui learned from 1002 that the former owner of the No. 759 base tower, Xi Lai, was an extremely proud and arrogant commander. Any failure was a great humiliation for him.

If Jiang Hui wants to further expand her power, she will inevitably have to confront the other party sooner or later. Her actions, which are almost like a sneak attack, will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the other party's side. Given her personality, the other party will not hesitate to kill Jiang Hui and her group at any cost.

This is extremely disadvantageous for Jiang Hui and others, who are currently small in strength and want to quietly accumulate power, unless they can quickly gather such a large force and occupy a large amount of resources in a very short period of time.

This might have worked when the inner perimeter first opened, but in the current situation, the competition in the inner perimeter is fierce. People are fighting tooth and nail for even a small tower, so how can they afford to aggressively expand their territory? Therefore, if Jiang Hui wants to accumulate strength, he must lie low and be patient.

This was also a good opportunity, as it seemed that this Western commander had recently clashed with a commander named Yara...

When the two sides clash, they can sit back and watch the show, preserving their strength while gathering more intelligence and information about each side—after all, nothing is easier to obtain intelligence than observing a fierce battle from the sidelines.

However, while sitting on the mountain and fighting on the mountain can protect oneself and accumulate strength, it is still too slow and too passive.

Jiang Hui felt it was necessary to stir things up and incite conflict between the two sides. If possible, she wouldn't even mind providing some convenience or assistance to both sides, ideally making the two sides fight to the death without knowing the truth.

This is what is meant by "driving a tiger to devour a wolf," or "driving a wolf to devour a tiger."

As for who is the wolf and who is the tiger, that's not important. What's important is to gain momentum, preferably to achieve mutual destruction, so that they will have more opportunities to rise to the top.
