The so-called Dauntless Fleet is actually not an ordinary federal establishment.
After all, if you really count the number of battleships, this fleet has a total of 10 billion battleships, which is equivalent to ten fleet clusters in the federal regular establishment!
This is a top-secret fleet. Its warships are manufactured without using federal warship factories. Even the crew members are not recorded federal soldiers!
It can be said that except for Fleet Commander, no clues can be found in the Federation from people to ships.
This is why most of the top federal officials are unaware of the existence of such a fleet.
In fact, if you really want to investigate, you can still find some clues. After all, Dauntless Fleet's predecessor still has some records in the Federation.
Its predecessor was the Large Magellanic Cloud First Fleet cluster. It was once stationed at Losart, one of the most top-secret areas in the Federation.
"You want to use Dauntless Fleet?"
Lin Zhen glanced at his son and asked with some confusion.
After all, this is the fleet that is one of the Federation's trump cards. Is it too early to use it now?
In Lin Zhen's view, Federal Fleet's regular army is enough to deal with the Zerg in Galactic System, and there should be no need to dispatch Dauntless Fleet.
"Confirmed. Although judging from the current Vita Defense Line, there is indeed no need to use Dauntless Fleet. However, the peak combat power of the Zerg has not yet appeared after all. I have to take certain precautions. If I continue to use the current configuration, there is no guarantee that I will still have the ability to crush the Insect Queen!"
"And once it is unable to crush them in terms of combat power, it will inevitably cause a large number of federal soldier casualties."
"Therefore, in the absence of information about the Zerg's peak combat power, the safest approach is to go all out!"
Lin Fan nodded and explained.
"I support Marshal Lin Fan. In the absence of intelligence about the Zerg, we should send out the strongest force just in case. You know, a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength, and any love rival may cause serious consequences!"
"The Federation currently cannot afford to lose!"
As Saunders said, it may not matter if other civilizations lose billions of warships, but if the Federation makes a wrong step, let alone losing billions of warships, even if it loses hundreds of millions of warships, it will be a huge blow to the Federation.
Who makes the Federation still have a sparse population compared to other civilizations?
It can only be said that the population growth rate of the Federation cannot keep up with the speed of civilization advancement.
Although the Three-Eyed Civilization is now integrated, and because human genes are dominant for Three-Eyed Race, Angels, or the elves, most of the next generation after the integration will be assimilated into the human race, but that will only happen many generations later.
As of now, the number of humans is still pitifully small, only comparable to the scale of 200 billion. Even within the federation, humans have become a minority race.
According to the latest statistics, after Three-Eyed Race merged into the Federation, the human population has accounted for less than 1% of the Federation's population!
If it weren't for the dominance of genes and the ability to slowly assimilate the other three races, the federation would not allow those three races to merge in at all.
The sentence that the Federation cannot afford to lose at the moment directly hit the weak point of all the big bosses, and they all nodded in agreement.
However, they are still very curious, what is the origin of Dauntless Fleet, and is it actually called the strongest power by Saunders?
In fact, even Sander only knew about the existence of Dauntless Fleet, and knew that the warships in this fleet used technology that far exceeded the current conventional fleet of the Federation.
However, he actually didn't know how these warships were built or where the soldiers came from.
"Okay, just do as you say!"
After all, he was not a professional in this area, so Lin Zhen immediately chose to listen to the opinions of professionals. Since Lin Fan and Saunders, the two former marshals and current marshals, had said so, let's do it this way. Lin Zhen would not do something stupid like a layman commanding an expert.
——
Large Magellanic Cloud, federal War Zone Zero.
This is a war zone that does not exist on paper in the federation. In fact, all the Star Systems in the area where it is stationed have been erased from the official Star Charts of the federation.
The entire War Zone Zero is built around Losart, radiating thousands of Star System around it, and has its own independent warship production base.
Except for transporting supplies and resources, it is completely disconnected from the outside world.
In the void, a huge fleet is conducting offensive and defensive exercises. Its warships are obviously different from the federation's regular fleet.
The biggest difference visible to the naked eye is that even the largest battleship here is only the size of the Federation's former destroyer, while the other battleships are only the size of a frigate.
Since the Federation became Level 4 Civilization, it has never built such a small battleship. They are all general-purpose battleships that are at least the size of a battleship.
If you underestimate these battleships because of their size, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
It can be said that these battleships have fully reached the late stage or even peak technology of Level 7 Civilization. After all, whether it is the production line of the battleship, the drawings of the battleship, and even the corresponding staff are all converted from the system of Lin Fan.
This is also the reason why Lin Fan and Lin Zhen want to position Dauntless Fleet as the top secret of the Federation.
On the one hand, this kind of thing is too shocking. On the other hand, too many things here will disrupt the normal scientific research system of the Federation. After all, the production system here comes from the system, and even many key components are finished products that are directly exchanged within the system. It does not have a complete technical system.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best choice to completely isolate Federal Fleet and hide it as one of the strongest trump cards.
Today, a squadron in Dauntless Fleet is conducting exercises.
Although it is a squadron, if you count it based on the number of battleships, it is a billion battleships, which is already equivalent to a fleet cluster in a conventional fleet.
"Report to the commander, the first-level priority order from the military department, the relevant documents have been sent to your terminal!"
"Got it!"
In a fleet flagship that was only the size of a destroyer, Bilodis said to Lin Tian.
Although Bilodis and Lin Tian have been together for a long time, there is still no problem in letting her be his adjutant.
According to Lin Tian's original words to Lin Fan, that is, my sister-in-law is not your adjutant after marrying you anyway, so what's the problem with letting Bilodis be my adjutant?
Well, that makes sense.
In addition, this is the top secret of the Federation. Besides his old man and brother, who will care about him?
So, Bilodis became the adjutant of Lin Tian, and also the second husband and wife team in Federal Fleet!
Opening the terminal, Lin Tian saw the command file with extremely high priority.
"Convey orders to all squadrons and assemble at Losart within three days to participate in Mels Star Cluster's war against the Zerg!"
"Yes, Commander!"
