Unconsciously, time has come to the end of the 59th year of the Federation.
During this period, all old models and ship types have been discontinued and replaced by Snow Leopard-class battlecruisers and Sky-class aircraft carriers. These two ship types will be the main components of the federal fleet in the future.
As for the Qiong-class aircraft carrier, it was finalized and started production two months ago. Its performance has been greatly improved compared to the old aircraft carrier.

Compared with the old aircraft carrier, the Cangqiong-class carrier-based aircraft load has doubled, reaching 2,000 mechas, which is a significant improvement.
In these three months, the Federation produced a total of 6,000 Snow Leopard-class battlecruisers and 700 Sky-class aircraft carriers.
Among them, Liang Xingchen only needs to send 1,000 battle cruisers and 100 aircraft carriers to replace the guard fleet of the Fourth Fleet, and the remaining quota will be given directly to the First Fleet.
Even Lin Fan's vehicle, the Uranus, was pulled over to undergo major modifications, and its current combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of a Snow Leopard-class battlecruiser.
As a result, the First Fleet now has 6,000 old warships of various types and 5,600 new warships. In terms of strength, it is definitely comparable to at least three of the Fourth Fleets that were once fully staffed.
As the strength of the Federation fleet continues to increase, on the other side of the asteroid belt, there is a huge star port in the orbit of Jupiter.
Adams was looking at the imperial military order just sent by his subordinates.
This order was both expected and unexpected.
First of all, because of the death of the Ninth Prince Duolun, the entire Third Guards Corps was convicted, which was what Adams expected.
Secondly, considering the historical achievements of the Third Guards Corps and the request in the Adams report, Emperor Miraro gave the Third Guards Corps a chance to attack humanity with all its strength and no retreat allowed!
If the humans are successfully captured, only Adams will be executed, and the others will be exempted. If the humans cannot be captured, then everyone in the Third Guards Corps will die on the battlefield with military honor.
After reading the order, Adams sighed deeply. He understood that this was the best result.
"Adjutant, I want to give a fleet-wide speech, and you have to ensure that everyone in the entire fleet hears it!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements immediately!"
Half an hour later, everyone in the entire Third Guards Corps stopped what they were doing and gathered in various star ports.
"Everyone from the Third Imperial Guard Corps, first of all I want to tell you something. In the war half a year ago, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince was unfortunately killed."
The first words Adams spoke sent a bolt from the blue to everyone. Everyone in the empire knew how much the emperor doted on the ninth prince.
Now that the Ninth Prince died in the battle of the Third Guards Corps, you don't have to wonder how the tyrannical emperor will punish them!
Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.
"Half a year ago, when I reported to Your Majesty about the Ninth Prince, I asked Your Majesty to execute only me and spare everyone in the Third Guards Corps! Today, the order from the Imperial Capital has arrived!"
"Your Majesty ordered the whole army of our army to go out and fight to the death with humans. If we win, I will be executed, and the rest will be exempted! If we lose, everyone will die on the battlefield with the pride of the imperial soldiers!"
"This is your only way to survive!"
When Adams finished his last words, all the star ports were silent without exception!
Then the eyes of all the Oaks gradually turned blood red, full of murderous intent!
Yes, Commander Adams is right. This is the only way to survive that Commander Adams finally begged for us!
Gradually, the rhythmic shouts of the Oaks sounded in every star port!
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
"Now I order everyone to prepare for battle. We will launch a desperate charge against humanity tomorrow! Either win! Or die!"
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"
The next day, in Lin Fan's office.
Emma was standing upright in front of Lin Fan's desk. This was the first time Emma had come face to face with Lin Fan since she came to the First Fleet.
If Liang Xue hadn't colluded with Chief of Staff Will and appointed Emma to go to Lin Fan to report on the work of the staff department, this girl might have been stubborn for how long!
Well, according to Emma's original idea, she would not meet Lin Fan until she had become a general at least, which shows how proud she is!
"How's it going? Are you used to it after three months here?"
"me."
It was okay when he was gone, but when she actually saw Lin Fan, Emma suddenly became at a loss.
"Don't leave me alone. Am I so terrible that you have been hiding from me for three months?"
"No, it's because."
"Tell me, why? You are a captain after all. What do you look like hesitating?"
"Yes, Commander! Because I feel that the distance between me and you is getting farther and farther. I want to at least become a general."
"puff"
As soon as Emma finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the door of the office.
"Okay, why are you scaring her like this? And Emma, too, are you waiting until you become a general? How old will you be by then? Not everyone is like this pervert!"
"Hey, is this how you describe your husband? Pervert?"
Liang Xue walked in and closed the door. She ignored Lin Fan and looked directly at Emma.
"Sister Xue me"
"Didn't we agree that night? Now that you are here, why are you thinking about other things again?"
"Don't I feel like I'm getting further and further away from you now?"
"Oh, are you still afraid of this? Where is the courage you had to fight me when you saw me in the academy?"
"Sister Xue, stop talking, it's okay if I'm wrong!"
At this moment, Lin Fan's communicator rang, and he immediately picked it up when he saw it was Liang Xingchen.
"Commander Liang!"
"Lin Fan, something happened on Adams' side. We found his fleet in the asteroid belt, heading straight for our Mars base!"
"Commander Liang, are everyone dispatched?"
"Yes! We have monitored 48,000 warships. Combined with the previous battle losses, that should be all."
"If that's the case, it's probably the second possibility I guessed at the beginning."
When Liang Xingchen heard what Lin Fan said, he also remembered the two possibilities that Lin Fan said three months ago.
"The second possibility is really troublesome!"
