In the conference room, after being stopped by Lin Zhen, Eide sat down and sulked.
"Eide, according to the seventh special regulation, Lin Fan does have the right to hide some technology related to the survival of the Federation. Under this premise, even I don't have the right to know!"
"And you should be aware of this!"
The seventh special regulation …
Eide searched the information in his brain, and there was indeed such a thing!
Back then, in order to push for this regulation, Lin Zhen even dragged him into it. Even though he didn't know anything, out of his trust in Lin Zhen and Lin Fan, he still helped them push for this unreasonable regulation!
[Damn it, there's such a regulation? Doesn't that mean I can't force Lin Fan to reveal that technology?]
"Okay, that's how it is. Since Lin Fan used the seventh special regulation to temporarily keep this technology a secret, he naturally has to do this. When it's time for you to know, I will naturally tell you. For now, don't ask anymore!"
Although they were very curious, the big shots still nodded to show that they understood.
After all, this special regulation did exist, and it had been used several times. Take the Fearless Fleet for example. Many of the technologies used in it had been kept secret by Lin Fan until now.
Therefore, the big shots were no longer surprised that Lin Fan used this regulation to keep a certain technology a secret again.
"Lin Fan, continue!"
Seeing the big shots nodding, Lin Zhen continued to speak to Lin Fan.
"Okay, the situation of the entire Wills Special Supercluster is not optimistic."
"Although on the surface, the unknown force doesn't have a crushing advantage over the Zerg, don't forget one thing!"
"This unknown force is an external invading force. Their nest is not in the Wills Special Supercluster. Do you understand what this means?"
This was a problem that was easy to overlook, but when Lin Fan brought it up, the big shots immediately reacted.
That's right, you can't think that this is all they have, right?
For example, during this period of time, the Federation had been constantly attacking the surrounding Star Clusters, and the forces they sent out were usually only a few Star Clusters.
You can't possibly say that these Star Clusters are all the Federation's combat power, right?
"You mean … the forces fighting against the Zerg are only the vanguard of that force?"
"That's right, it might even be just an exploration team!"
"Hh …!"
Almost everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard this.
According to Lin Fan's explanation of the situation in the Wills Special Supercluster, although the enemy did not have a crushing advantage over the Zerg, they still had a huge advantage!
If it was only one of their vanguard units, or only a small part of their combat power, then it would be impossible for them to escape.
Then, how powerful was this unknown force?
And if this force went all out, with the current combat power displayed by the Zerg, could they really stop it?
The answer was probably no!
"What do you think?"
After digesting the information brought by Lin Fan, Lin Zhen asked.
"Let the Zerg be a buffer civilization between us and that force, and if necessary …"
At this point, Lin Fan paused for a moment and glanced at Ai De discreetly.
"If necessary … we can even help Aliya!"
Ai De's heart skipped a beat. If it weren't for the fact that he was trying his best to suppress his excitement, he would have jumped up and cheered out loud.
This was the mission given to him by Aliya, to find a way to drag the Federation into this battle.
He was still thinking about how to achieve this goal, but he did not expect Lin Fan to take the initiative. Was there anything better than this?
Although Eide tried his best to suppress his excitement, Lin Fan, who had been observing him suspiciously, noticed it.
[Sure enough … something is wrong!]
[However, I need to confirm it further.]
Lin Fan retracted his gaze from Eide and spoke again.
"An unknown and possibly very powerful civilization or force. Until we are prepared, it is undoubtedly the best way to keep it out of the range of contact!"
"And in order to achieve this, even if we have to form a temporary alliance with Aliya, in my opinion, it's something that can be included in the list of options!"
[Help the Zerg fight against the invading force, and even consider forming a temporary alliance with Aliya?]
This idea made everyone's eyelids twitch. [This is …]
[Too bold!]
However, they could not deny Lin Fan's idea. After all, from the perspective of the Federation's interests, this was undoubtedly the best solution!
[But …]
[Miu won't be able to get over this, right?]
Suddenly, everyone looked at the only Three-Eyed Race member in the conference room, the former emperor of the Triangle Empire, and the current representative of the Three-Eyed Race, Miu!
As the former emperor, Miu agreed with Lin Fan's suggestion, but it was true that it was difficult to get over this mental hurdle.
Although the Zerg and the humans had been fighting for so many years, the humans had not suffered any losses. The Zerg had always been the one suffering losses.
Therefore, from an emotional point of view, the humans did not have much of a psychological barrier!
However, the Three-Eyed Race was different. The current Three-Eyed Race was not even 10% of their peak strength. More than 90% of their population had been slaughtered by the Zerg in the long war.
[Forming an alliance with the Zerg?]
Even if it was as Lin Fan said, it would only be short-term, it would still be difficult to get over this mental hurdle, right?
Miu's eyes were filled with struggle.
On one hand, he knew that this was the right thing to do, but on the other hand, he could not accept it!
[This … is too much!]
Ed, on the other hand, was a little anxious when he saw this scene.
[No, definitely not.]
[We can't let the Three-Eyed Race ruin this great situation!]
"Miu, you were once the leader of a civilization. You should understand that this is the best way for the Federation!"
"I understand, I understand, but …"
After all, Miu was once the emperor of a civilization. How could he not understand what was the best choice?
However, even if he could understand, would the other members of his race be able to?
"I know what you're worried about. Anyway, this is only a temporary measure. We just have to keep it a secret!"
Seeing that Miu was still in a dilemma, Eide spoke once again.
[Aren't you worried that your people won't understand and cause trouble?
That's simple. Even if the Federation and the Zerg have formed an alliance, as long as we don't announce it to the public, your people won't know about it. Isn't that right?]
The surrounding big shots nodded when they heard that. 'This … Is indeed a solution.'
