Federation Calendar Year 123, Andromeda Galaxy.
Two years had passed since Lin Yu seized the neutron battle star and the three Dark Star Battleships.
The Purple Cloud Empire and the second civilization they secretly set up, the Inferno Empire, were destroyed by the Federation after losing the seed battle star and the planet-level battleships.
However, the Purple Cloud Empire's emperor, Bowen, was not confirmed to have been killed or captured. He had gone missing …
As for the post-war issues, the Federation naturally would not allow other civilizations to stay in the Andromeda Galaxy, which was originally listed as one of their own territories.
Just like the Milky Way Galaxy, they directly allocated territories within the galaxy group.
However, there was a problem here. Currently, there were 50 galaxies in the galaxy group. Excluding the two galaxies occupied by the Federation and their respective satellite galaxies, as well as the territories previously allocated to the civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, there were only six galaxies left to be allocated.
Obviously, six galaxies were not enough for the entire Andromeda Galaxy to migrate.
In the end, the Federation had no choice but to move the civilizations on the back spiral arm.
After all, nearly a third of the back spiral arm was originally occupied by the Purple Cloud Empire. If the Inferno Empire's territory was included, then it would be even more.
Therefore, after the destruction of the Purple Cloud Empire and the Inferno Empire, there were much fewer civilizations on the back spiral arm compared to the front spiral arm. It was just enough for the last six galaxies to be allocated. At the same time, the Federation could monopolize the entire back spiral arm.
As for the front spiral arm, anyway, the Federation would not stop their progress just because they occupied a galaxy group. There were plenty of places to be allocated in the future.
Moreover, even if the civilizations were allocated now, when the Federation took over the other galaxy groups in the future, they would all have to move away!
In this galaxy group, the Federation would definitely not allow other civilizations to exist in the future!
Moreover, Lin Zhen and Lin Fan already had a plan for the further expansion of the Federation.
The two of them had been eyeing the surrounding galaxy groups for a long time. If it were not for the fact that the Federation's population was still too small, and they could not even completely digest these few galaxies, the fleet would have already sailed over.
-----
Large Magellan System, Federation Starfleet Headquarters.
In a conference room, Lin Fan was holding an important military meeting. The lowest ranking personnel participating were all lieutenant generals of the Federation, which showed how important and high the level of this meeting was.
Of course, other than Lin Fan, Liang Xue, and Saunders, most of the others participated through virtual meetings.
"First of all, the supreme commander stationed in the Andromeda Galaxy, Lin Yu, will explain the situation!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Fan knocked on the table and said.
"Dear colleagues, just yesterday, in the spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy, in the territory of the Purple Cloud Empire, a tunnel to a hive appeared!"
Hiss …
Lin Yu's opening sentence shocked everyone present.
Everyone's level was not low, so of course, they knew what the tunnel was.
That meant that the insectoids were about to invade!
Moreover, no one present would underestimate the insectoids.
This was because they had all read about the insectoids and knew that in the previous two invasions, the insectoids were only Level Five and Level Four Insectoids. They were not very powerful.
This time, no one knew what level the insectoids were. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate them.
"However, there's something very strange."
"After discovering the tunnel, we immediately asked the head of the Science Department, Bai, to invade the Insectoids' spiritual network again."
"However, the results were unexpected. According to the information that Bai has, even the nearest Insectoid King is 150 million light-years away from us, and there are no signs of it moving towards our galaxy group!"
"That's basically the situation we have now!"
At this moment, everyone was somewhat puzzled.
Everyone knew that Bai Zixuan had used captured insectoids as a medium to enter the Insectoids' spiritual network.
However, this was very strange.
If the insectoids were not the ones who opened the tunnel, then who was the one who opened it?
With a stomach full of doubts, everyone looked at Lin Fan.
"What are your thoughts? You can speak now!"
"Fujiwara Ayako!"
Once he was allowed to speak, someone immediately raised his hand. Lin Fan took a look and saw that it was one of his old subordinates. He then called for him to speak.
"Head, can we directly destroy this tunnel?"
After Fujiwara Ayako's question, many of the generals nodded. This was also a question that they wanted to ask.
After all, the Federation had already possessed the technology to destroy the Zerg's tunnel many years ago. They had successfully used it to destroy the tunnel used by the Zerg in the Milky Way.
So, why not destroy it directly?
"Yes, Fujiwara Ayako's question is very good. Let me explain the reason!"
"First of all, this tunnel is very strange. We can't confirm that it was opened by the insectoids and that they are invading."
"Secondly, even if the insectoids are invading again, is it really a good idea for us to destroy this tunnel?"
"Everyone, you have to understand one thing. It's impossible for us to coexist with the Zergs. Since the invasion of the Zergs is something that will happen sooner or later, instead of letting them open a tunnel in a corner of a galaxy and arrive there without us noticing, wouldn't it be better to keep the tunnel open and station a large number of troops to wait for them to come?"
After Lin Fan was done with his words, everyone started to ponder.
Indeed, as long as the insectoids were not destroyed, their invasion would not stop.
Even if they destroyed this tunnel, who could guarantee that the Federation would be able to discover the tunnel the next time the insectoids opened?
Just like what Lin Fan said, it was impossible to monitor every corner of a galaxy. Moreover, the Federation had more than one galaxy. There were a total of 50 galaxies.
What if the tunnel was opened in a secluded corner and was not discovered in time?
In that case, it was very likely to cause very serious consequences.
Since that was the case, why not take advantage of the early discovery and station a large number of troops at the exit of the tunnel and give them a head-on blow?
"Understood, I have no other questions!"
"Okay … Yes, Qin Tian, go ahead!"
After Fujiwara Ayako sat down, a few more people raised their hands. Lin Fan chose one of them to continue speaking. This person was also one of the senior commanders under Lin Tian.
"Head, I would like to ask if we can set up the Space Resonator in advance, just in case?"
