Except for a few officers at the school level, all officers at the military headquarters and above, including brigadier general, have gathered together.
Even Jiang Xingchen or Lu Feng, who are thousands or even thousands of light years away from the Federation, participated through remote means.
The topic of today's meeting is...
How to deal with the nearly a hundred ghost fleets that besieged Sylvie, as well as the other ghost fleets that are on the way and will arrive in the near future to participate in the siege.
In fact, there have been two opinions within the military department that are at odds with each other on this point.
Some people believe that we should take advantage of the Iron Wall Project, just hang it up first, and then wait a few years or even ten years before taking action when the Federation is stronger.
With the current strength of the Federation, if we attack by force.
Either most or all of the gravity bomb reserves will be consumed, or a huge price will be paid.
And this price may be thousands of federal warships, plus the lives of millions of federal soldiers.
Others believe that as long as the ghost is not eliminated, most areas in the Large Magellanic Cloud are still not safe zones, which will prevent the Federation from letting go of development.
After all, the Federation has now developed all the areas that the ghosts have not set foot on.
If you want to expand further, you must solve the problem of ghosts.
Otherwise, it will be fine for one or two years, but any longer time will definitely affect the development speed of the federation.
In short, the father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and no one could convince anyone.
Even Su He, as the federal president, or Lu Weiming, the supreme commander of the military, were hesitant about this.
"Commander, what if the development of the Federation stagnates for a few years or more than ten years?"
"Is it just for this little time that we will throw away all our heritage, or will it cost hundreds of millions of lives to fill it up?"
"They don't take human life seriously!"
Not long after it started, after several people expressed their opinions, someone immediately slapped the table and shouted angrily.
"How many years or ten years?"
"You're talking lightly. Don't forget that we still have the mission to retake the Milky Way and save the solar system. Let alone more than ten years, even if we waste a few years, major changes may occur."
"For the future of the Federation, we should deal with the ghost matter as soon as possible, and then quickly develop the Large Magellanic Cloud according to the established plan to prepare for returning to the Milky Way in the future."
"I won't say anything else. I will personally fight against the ghosts. I will be at the forefront and I will sacrifice my life for the Federation. It starts with me!"
On the other side, those who objected naturally slapped the table.
Lu Weiming looked at everyone and rubbed his temples with some trouble.
In a corner of the conference room, Jiang Xingchen and Lu Feng were projected on the two seats here.
"Xingchen, what do you think?"
"If we fight now, it will be difficult."
"Indeed, although if the gravity bomb is used at its maximum power, it can clear out these ghosts surrounding it in one shot, but..."
"However, if we use the maximum range, it will destroy the Sylvie outpost together."
After nodding, Jiang Xingchen took Lu Feng's words and said.
A tactical-grade gravity bomb, if activated at maximum power, is enough to cover a light-year range.
But the problem is...
This range will cover Sylvie Outpost as well.
After all, nearly a hundred ghost fleets are surrounding Sylvie from all directions at this moment. You cannot rely on setting the power level to kill all the ghost fleets at once.
Therefore, if you want to use gravity bombs, you need at least a dozen of them, and then through small power limitations and precise position calculations, you can finally clean them piece by piece.
Of course, it's not impossible for you to abandon the Sylvie outpost and then use a gravity bomb to directly reach maximum power.
But the problem is...
The elves have just joined the Federation and become a new nation of humans.
As a result, you blew up their home planet.
Is this appropriate?
It’s definitely inappropriate!
"Then what do you think? I really support the other faction's opinion and let the ghost hang there for a few years before saying anything?"
Lu Feng sighed slightly and asked Jiang Xingchen again.
"If Stanley's cloning base and battleship factory are all found and destroyed, I will definitely choose to delay for a while."
"Actually, there is no need to be so exaggerated in more than ten years. As long as there are three years and I am asked to add 2,000 Zhurong-class warships, I am confident that I can control the losses to a minimum by relying on mobile warfare."
"But now..."
Having said this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but shake his head.
"Then who do you think took the missing cloning base and battleship production line?"
"It is impossible for local civilizations. Let alone those second- and third-level civilizations that are unable to go to the Alecta star system. Even if they are lucky enough to happen to encounter an unstable short-lived wormhole, they are not able to move these things quickly.
Walk."
"That's right. According to the analysis of the data you brought back, not long before Stanley was captured, the super brain had confirmed the situation of all cloning bases and battleship factories. So, is it a ghost?"
"This is what I don't understand at the moment."
Jiang Xingchen still shook his head.
"As far as we know so far, as a third-generation ghost, Stanley's orders have absolute suppression over the first- and second-generation ghosts."
"Therefore, since he has issued a rescue order, it is impossible for those ghost queens to ignore such an order and steal the cloning base and warship production line."
"Unless...there are some changes in the ghost that we don't know about."
"However, if it was really a ghost queen who did it, it would be easy to confirm."
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xingchen continued.
"How to confirm?"
"It will be more than half a month at most. By then, even the Ghost Queen, no matter how far away she is, will have arrived at Sylvie. By then..."
"You mean, the Ghost Queen who didn't appear later was the guy who secretly moved the cloning base and the Ghost Battleship production line?"
"Yes, but this must wait until the time comes before it can be finally confirmed."
Jiang Xingchen nodded.
"Then what should I do? Tell my old man about this analysis?"
"Don't worry, most of today's meetings are still inconclusive. Let's wait until there are results in half a month."
"also..."
Looking up at the federal officers who were still slapping each other on the table and arguing endlessly, Lu Feng sighed slightly.
A few hours later, it was just as Jiang Xingchen guessed.
After a meeting, we still couldn't come up with a solution. We just decided to wait a month to see the situation before reconvening the meeting to discuss it.
And it was on the eighteenth day after the meeting.
That is the time limit that the Federation calculates based on the location of each ghost queen, and that they can all arrive.
