The Governor of the Greater Magellan Region?
Lin Fan's answer was somewhat out of Belter's expectations, but it was reasonable.
This also indirectly answered Belter's question.
That's right, everything is true, and I am one of the Governors of the twelve regions!
"Then what fleet did the Human Federation send this time?"
"Well, although the other regions also sent some fleets, most of them are from the Greater Magellan Region. As for the Orion Arm where the main body of the Federation is located, they did not send a fleet to participate!"
Sure enough!
Belter sighed. Originally, he thought that although the humans were strong, they still had some shortcomings, and that was the lack of human numbers, and the number of fleets was extremely small!
But according to the current situation, the humans should have at least tens of billions of battleships. Maybe it was still a little small, but it was definitely more than ten times his original estimate.
However, what Belter did not know was that Lin Fan was not lying. However, among the twelve regions, only the Greater Magellan Sector had the most battleships!
Even if all the fleets of the Human Federation were added together, it would not exceed the ten billion mark.
Moreover, without Lin Fan's Bio-Human soldiers, the humans might not even be able to gather three billion battleships!
"Lin Fan, I want to know, how are the humans going to deal with the Vera Federation?"
After pondering for a while, Belter raised his head to look at Lin Fan and asked seriously.
This was a question he could not escape from.
The current situation in the Milky Way was one strong and one strong. As long as the humans wanted to, they could get rid of the strong at any time, leaving only one strong.
They had already gotten rid of the top three. Would it be a problem to get rid of the remaining strong?
The answer was definitely no!
Although the Human Federation and the Vera Federation were now in a honeymoon period, Belter was very clear that this so-called honeymoon period had no meaning.
The humans' unification of the Milky Way was inevitable, and he was the last stumbling block on the road to unification!
It was not difficult for Belter to imagine how the humans would deal with the stumbling block!
Therefore, he had to confirm what the humans wanted to do, so that he could formulate a way to continue the civilization.
"Belter, since you asked, then I will be straightforward!"
"Lower the head of a level-5 civilization and become a subsidiary civilization of the Federation!"
"Think about it. Do you want to stay in the Star System and continue to be a level-5 giant civilization, or do you want to follow the humans and step into a higher-level civilization and even conquer the entire universe?"
"Also, what you're worried about won't happen, even if the Vera Federation really wants to continue being a level-5 civilization!"
Belter's eyes widened. The first part of Lin Fan's answer was within his expectations, but the second part was beyond his expectations.
"Even if the Vera Federation doesn't become a subsidiary civilization of the Human Federation, you won't do anything to us?"
It wasn't that Berter was tempted by the option.
Instead, he was really curious. Could humans really be so magnanimous?
"Well, actually, this question is very simple!"
"If there is only one Milky Way, we will not allow the Vera Federation to continue to exist!"
"But what if, other than the Milky Way, the Federation has countless Star Systems in its hands?"
"Therefore, we don't mind giving a Star System to our former ally, and we can guarantee that this Star System won't be smaller than the Milky Way!"
"Of course, if you choose this path, then the Vera Federation will have to move out of the Milky Way and into the Star System that we have arranged. At the same time, there will be no possibility of leaving that Star System in the future!"
It seemed very tempting to obtain a Star System that wasn't smaller than the Milky Way and monopolize it!
However, from another point of view, just as Lin Fan had said, if they chose this path, then the Vera Federation would forever remain a level-5 civilization!
After all, if they wanted to truly become a level-6 civilization, they had to master space transmission technology that could cross Star Systems and become a civilization that owned multiple Star Systems (excluding small satellite Star Systems).
However, this was a Star System that the Federation had taken out from their own territory. Even if the Vera Federation had mastered space transmission technology, were there any Star Systems in the surroundings that they could occupy?
It was completely conceivable that all the Star Systems in the surroundings already belonged to the Human Federation. No matter which Star Systems they occupied, they would be courting death.
The final result would be just as Lin Fan had said. They would forever be a level-5 civilization in a Star System!
Even so, Bernt had no complaints about Lin Fan. After all, no matter which path he chose, it was much better than he had expected.
However, this choice was indeed a little difficult.
After all, level-5 civilizations had been synonymous with overlords in the Milky Way for tens of thousands of years. Now, to make people who were used to this status lower their arrogant heads and agree to become a subsidiary civilization of the humans was obviously not a simple matter.
Should they lower their heads and follow the humans to a higher level of civilization, or should they continue to live the life of a local tyrant in a Star System?
This was a question that even Bernt couldn't easily decide!
"Can you give me some time?"
"After all, this concerns the future of our entire civilization. I have to discuss it with the others before I can make a decision!"
Shaking his head, Bernt still couldn't make a decision immediately.
"Of course, but at most one year!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Bernt had a grateful expression on his face.
Although the final decision hadn't been made yet, from the looks of it, no matter what choice he made, the civilization would be able to continue.
This also made Bernt heave a huge sigh of relief. The huge rock that had been pressing on his shoulders these past few days had finally been lifted.
As for which path to take, Bernt had already thought about it. He would let all the citizens of the Federation make the decision together!
After all, this was a matter of the entire civilization. It should be decided by everyone in the civilization.
That night, Bernt had already gathered all the high-ranking officials and high-ranking generals in the military for a meeting. Even those who were located far away and couldn't come in person participated in the meeting through a virtual conference.
In short, this was the first meeting with so many officials since Bernt became the leader.
Some of the sharper people had already sensed something when they saw this scene.
The matters to be discussed in today's meeting were definitely very important. It might even determine the survival of the Federation!
Moreover, it was very likely that these were all related to the Human Federation!
"Okay, everyone is here. Let's officially begin!"
