In the virtual conference room, when Lin Yu expressed his thoughts, except for Lin Fan and a few others, almost everyone was a little surprised.
After all, the Terminal Bomb was humanity's biggest trump card, and the reason it was called a trump card was because it should be used as a last resort. However, Lin Yu said that it was a little too reckless to use it right from the start.
However, compared to the others, Lin Fan was not so surprised.
For Lin Fan, only when he used it at the most appropriate time and place would it be a trump card. Did he have to wait until the federal fleet suffered heavy casualties before he remembered that he still had a trump card that he hadn't used yet?
That was ridiculous!
"Quiet!"
Looking at the noisy conference room below, Lin Fan knocked on the table and said loudly.
"Indeed, as Lin Yu said, if we can't deter the enemy enough, even if we successfully evacuate from the Holtell Supercluster to the Renault Supercluster, we can't guarantee that the enemy won't chase after us!"
"You have to know that Elfi only has five conventional attack groups. Let alone a fleet comparable to a level-10 technological civilization, even a level-9 technological civilization would find it extremely difficult to deal with them."
"Then, what if the enemy really follows Elfi to the Renault Supercluster?"
"Continue to retreat?"
"Retreat all the way to the Bosnian Supercluster?"
"Give up the territories that we worked so hard to obtain over the years?"
Lin Fan's series of questions directly silenced the generals who wanted to oppose the use of the Terminal Bomb.
This was not Lin Fan being an alarmist; it was something that was very likely to happen.
"Lin Yu, if we want to gather all the fleets in the Starfleet Second Headquarters, excluding the forces stationed in various places, how long will it take?"
"Because the fleets are now in a multi-route expedition mission, it will take at least half a year to gather these scattered fleets again. After that, it will also take half a year to send the gathered fleets to the Renault Supercluster!"
"In other words, it will take at least a year to send the army to the Renault Supercluster, right?"
"Yes, Marshal!"
One year …
At this moment, even Lin Fan had a grave expression on his face.
He could temporarily give up on the Holtyre Super Star Cluster, but he could not afford to lose the Renault Super Star Cluster.
Otherwise, the several Super Star Clusters that extended from the Renault Super Star Cluster through the cosmic ocean currents would be isolated, and the fleets fighting in those Super Star Clusters would also fall into a state of isolation.
This was an extremely dangerous matter!
"Where are Zi Ling and Wang Hai now?"
"The Netherworld Fleet commanded by Zi Ling and Wang Hai is resting in the Bosnian Supercluster!"
"The Netherworld Fleet doesn't need to wait for the other fleets to assemble. Depart for the Renault Supercluster immediately and meet up with Elfi there!"
"Let Wang Hai and Ziling go together?"
Lin Yu was a little surprised. After all, whether it was the first or second headquarters of the Starfleet, the rule had always been that there must be an S-rank dark energy manipulator in charge.
For example, the first headquarters was now guarded by Zi Luo, and the second headquarters was guarded by Zi Ling. As for Wang Hai, he had just stepped into this field, so he had not been assigned a mission yet. In the past year, it was mainly to let him familiarize himself with his strength.
"Yes, since this kid was promoted to an S-rank dark energy manipulator last year, this battleship and exclusive mechanical suit have been assigned to him. It's time for him to go to the battlefield. Moreover, the enemy this time is not the same as before. I'm afraid Zi Ling alone won't be able to handle it!"
"Not only that, I will also let Zi Luo report to your side and set off together with the main fleet as reinforcements in half a year!"
This caused everyone to be a little surprised.
What was their marshal trying to do?
If all the S-rank dark energy manipulators of the Federation were to be transferred to the second headquarters of the Starfleet, then what about the first headquarters?
To be honest, the threat to the first headquarters was no less than the second headquarters. On the other side of the ocean current of the Wills Special Supercluster, there was also a powerful civilization that was eyeing the Federation covetously, and it was a true Level 10 technological civilization!
If the Zi Lun Empire took this opportunity to launch an attack, the Netherworld Fleet and the four S-rank dark energy manipulators would not be able to reinforce in time. Then, the Wills Special Supercluster would be in danger.
It should be known that behind the Wills Special Supercluster was the Kempinia Supercluster. In the Kempinia Supercluster, the Federation did not have many combat forces deployed. Once the Kempinia Supercluster was breached, the Zi Lun Empire would directly invade the Federation's nest …
The Milky Way!
"Marshal, this move is too dangerous!"
"Yes, at least … at least leave an S-rank dark energy manipulator to guard the Wills Special Supercluster!"
"Marshal, it's better to reconsider!"
...
Below, almost everyone was trying to dissuade him, except for Lin Yu. After all, unlike the others, he knew …
His old man was now also an S-rank dark energy manipulator, and compared to him, he was closer to the Level 9 dark energy manipulator in the universe standard classification. Once Lin Fan reached the Level 9 dark energy manipulator, with the help of the dark energy calculation device, the combat power he could unleash would definitely be far above the Level 10 dark energy manipulators of other civilizations, and even … infinitely close to the Level 11 dark energy manipulator of a super civilization!
"Quiet!"
Looking at the noisy conference room again, Lin Fan had to hit the table again.
"There is one thing you don't know. In fact, there are five S-rank dark energy manipulators in the Federation!
However, due to some reasons, we have encrypted the fifth one's file, and only a few people know his true identity! "
Looking around, Lin Fan said with a smile.
However, his words left everyone dumbfounded.
"What, we have a fifth S-rank dark energy manipulator?"
"Really?"
"Who is it, Marshal?!"
"Yes, Marshal, don't keep us in suspense. Who is this great deity?"
...
Since Lin Fan had revealed this matter, everyone understood that Lin Fan would announce the identity of this S-rank dark energy manipulator here.
At this moment, everyone was a little excited, waiting for Lin Fan's answer!
"Do you really want to know?"
Lin Fan smiled and once again whetted everyone's appetite.
The generals below nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice.
"Well, actually, that person is … me!"
...
...
Silence, complete silence …
In the entire conference room, even the sound of breathing had disappeared, and everyone looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of suspicion.
They did not suspect that Lin Fan was lying, but they wondered if they had heard wrongly!
"I said, that person is me, I am …"
"The fifth S-rank dark energy manipulator of the Federation!"
Hiss …
