Following the instructions of Babavile, the caravan began to jump along the edge of Starless Belt, preparing to exit the jump ten light years away.
However, what they didn't know was that from the time they failed to cross Starless Belt for the first time, Lin Fan had already received the information sent back by the monitoring device.
"Commander-in-Chief, after comparing the database, the opponent should be the Babawi Empire caravan that appeared in Io Federation before!"
In orbit of Virallas, in the bridge of Uranus, a member of the command team was reporting to Lin Fan!
"It turns out it's them. Can you tell where they are jumping to now?"
"Yes, according to the direction of their jump, they should jump along the edge of Starless Belt. There is a high probability that Warp Interruption Device is regarded as a space anomaly. I want to try it at another point!"
"Well, this analysis should be correct. Continue to monitor. Once you find them appearing, immediately close Warp Interruption Device in that area and let them pass!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
Lin Fan doesn't want to expose Interstellar Great Wall Plan just because of a caravan of more than a thousand spaceships.
After all, the plan specified by Lin Zhen and Ed is about to be implemented. You must not expose yourself at this time!
Two days later, spanning ten light years, Babavile's caravan exited the jump state.
"Master Babavile, the fleet has all exited the jump state!"
"Okay, let's try again now to see if we can jump in the direction of Starless Belt!"
"Yes!"
Following Babavile's order, the entire fleet began to turn and pointed the bow at Starless Belt.
More than ten seconds later, as the void shrank, the entire fleet disappeared.
"Master Babavile, you have successfully entered the transition!"
The captain was a little excited. For him, this was the first time he could not jump, so some worries were unavoidable.
"Well, it seems that there is an abnormality in the space in which area. Record the location of the problem area and store it in the database!"
"Yes, Master Babavile!"
Soon, a piece of information about the abnormal space named Starless Belt was uploaded to the navigation database of the Babawi Empire.
At the same time, Shanhai Pass.
"Commander-in-Chief, Warp Interruption Device has been closed, and the other party has successfully entered the transition state!"
"Well done, in two days, when they pass Starless Belt, they will restart Warp Interruption Device in this area."
"Yes!"
Babavile didn't know that he had just walked away from the gate of hell. If Lin Fan didn't want to expose himself for the future plan, then instead of letting Babavile go, he would go directly to his caravan.
According to the information obtained from the Xio Alliance, Vera Alliance and Freedom Alliance are now at war with each other, and there is only one fuse left to start a complete war.
Of course, originally just this little thing about Orion Arm would not have reached this level. The most important thing is that Xis has done a lot of things secretly in recent years, making the two alliances increasingly irreconcilable.
And Lin Zhen is ready to light this last fire.
In the past five years, Lin Zhen made a lot of preparations according to the plan, and even secretly prepared a very special fleet and sent it to Shanhai Pass!
The styles of the warships in this legion are completely different from those of human warships. They are completely based on the warship Level 4 Civilization Lehman Empire in the Freedom Alliance.
At that time, Lin Zhen and Ed learned detailed information about each civilization under the four major alliances through the Xio Alliance terminal, including these distinct warship characteristics.
The reason for choosing Lehman Empire is also very simple, because the main weapons used by its battleships are the same as those of humans, which is Plasma Cannon.
As for the shield, the human shield technology itself is very similar to that of the Freedom Alliance, especially in terms of external appearance, both have a light blue visual feel.
As long as humans imitate the appearance of the battleship to look like the Lehman Empire battleship, it can be completely fake.
To this end, the Federation specially designed a warship based on the Reo empire's warship characteristics.
It can be said that as long as the battleship is not captured by the enemy and dismantled for study, everyone will believe that this is the battleship Lehman Empire.
Today, this fleet is on standby in Shanhai Pass, ready to execute Operation Tinder at any time.
This battle will be personally directed by Lin Fan. After all, this battle is very critical. If there is any problem, humans cannot afford the consequences.
Federation Year 81.
In Shanhai Pass, 100,000 warships with strange styles are currently forming a neat marching array, making final preparations before departure.
Speaking of Operation Tinder, we must talk about the information Xis gave to Lin Zhen.
In the early years, Xis dispatched a fully invisible Strategic Reconnaissance Ship, which was the one that appeared during the war between the Federation and Kabart Empire.
Before he found the Federation, he had been exploring Orion Arm for more than 50 years, and he had already found out the distribution of the Babawi Empire's forces clearly.
After the Xio Alliance joined the federation, Xis completely shared this part of the information with Lin Zhen. Through this information, humans also learned about the Babawi Empire, Level 4 Civilization, for the first time.
Speaking of the Babawi Empire, its own territory spans about 2,000 light years, occupying the head of Orion Arm, the most prosperous star field.
Of course, this prosperity is only compared to other places in Orion Arm. Compared with the large main spiral arm of Milky Way, it is still a rural existence.
In addition to the 2,000 light-year territory Outer Domain that it directly controls, Babawi Empire also indirectly controls an area of about 12,000 light-years, extending from its own territory to Starless Belt, and the method of control is through countless networks created by trade hubs.
In this trade network, Babawi Empire has created a total of 12 large trade hubs, 120 medium-sized trade hubs and 1,200 small trade hubs!
Since it took more than 3,000 years to establish this trade network, Babawi Empire's hand has not reached the other end of Starless Belt for the time being.
Although it is still beyond the control of the other side of Starless Belt, for the Babawi Empire, as long as there is no force on the other side that can threaten him!
This is why Babavile borrows the name of an interstellar merchant to go to the other side of Starless Belt every 20 years. Once he discovers that any civilization has signs of being promoted to level 4 civilization, Babawi Empire will immediately kill it.
As for Lin Zhen's Operation Tinder, on the one hand, they want to continue to frame Freedom Alliance, and on the other hand, they want to severely attack Babawi Empire's lifeline using special operations methods.
That is the trade network that it took more than 3,000 years to build!
