After 13 votes, the main Central Fifth Fleet left its stationed base, slowly heading to the Western Star Region. As one of the Federation's highest military powers, it possesses 1,800 'Copper Mountain Dragon' level Battleships ('Copper Mountain Dragon' level Battleships are the seventh generation full battleships of the Federation, with the 'Brass Dragon' level being their simplified budget version), approximately 4,200 'Giant Tooth Shark' level, 'Wind Banner' level, 'Vortex' level cruisers, about 12,000 'Thorn Rose' level, 'Golden Cage' level carriers, and the rest including destroyers, scouts, transport ships, totaling over 40,000 ships.
With military strength like this, both in quantity and quality, it is overwhelming for the entire Western Star Region. It's no surprise that the Central Council did not rush, but instead pulled etings and argued for a long ti before deciding on rebellion suppression.
Inside the gigantic space starport, a group of people stood like tiny grains of sand on the ground, looking up at the thousands of ters-high transparent curtain wall of the starport. As the fleet slowly passed by like fish swimming in the sea, many people's emotions surged.
'Perhaps the Federation is already decayed, but the legacy left four hundred years ago is still incredibly powerful. This force is always the ballast that maintains the stability of the Federation.'
"The First Fleet permanently stationed in the Twin Trees Star Domain, the Second Fleet guarding the Floral Crown Star Domain, the Third Fleet deters the Central Region and cannot be moved lightly, the Fourth Fleet is difficult to mobilize, and the Sixth Fleet is mostly for reserve and training, only the Fifth Fleet can easily be deployed."
"Although the Western Star Domain has the presence of Songstress Blanchi, which unites them, just having unity cannot change anything in front of absolute power."
"The battleships, equipnt, chas, weapons, and even the talents and strength of personnel in the main fleet are comprehensively higher than those in the local Star Domains. Even if you double the number of fleets in the Western Star Domain today, it is still difficult to match the Fifth Fleet."
"Victory is inevitable, but I hope this civil war can end peacefully."
"As a retired general, I am not optimistic about post-war appeasent and stability-maintenance. I'm afraid that after this victory, there will still be nearly a century of local resistance and chaos."
"Ores has shown promise, gaining the strength of a Moon Level Songstress, but she still can't unite the entire Federation at present. Unless she reaches the pinnacle of a Songstress in the future, becoming a Scorching Sun Level existence, uniting the entire Federation, and then using this deterrence to pacify the Western Stars Domain through gentle reforms, only then can the accumulated contradictions and conflicts over the years be gradually resolved."
"Ice Spirits live far longer than humans, she has more than 200 years of ti, which is why many families and large consortia are optimistic and betting on her."
"Let's go, the starships stationed here will take three days to fully assemble and depart, no need to wait any longer."

As the news of the Fifth Fleet's departure reached the Western Star Region, the forrly excited and cheering 'Rose Court' imdiately cald down. Many residents also began to panic, fearing the punishnt from the Federation in case of defeat.
"That's right, the Fifth Fleet is very strong, but it's impossible to surrender and give up just like that." At the military discussion eting, the newest young general, Yade, expressed his opinion.
"I will ticulously write down the data I acquired during my service in the main fleet and distribute it to everyone. This includes the military frawork, training discipline, behavior habits, and commonly used command tactics of the main fleet, and if you study them well, you can certainly gain so advantage in the confrontation."
"But these still cannot counteract the absolute disparity in strength, Yade." A middle-aged general with a mustache knocked on the table, warning the young man not to be too arrogant.
"I am just contributing my part, and if the senior has better thods, I would greatly appreciate it." Yade spoke sincerely, and this honest and humble appearance instead left the middle-aged general a bit stunned, as internal army etings full of argunts were the norm.
"Alright, perhaps I was a bit overboard." He quickly realized this was not the ti to argue over these matters, but among the group, Yade's overly youthful appearance gave him a slight feeling of unpleasure, after all, he had relied on years of experience to reach his position and Yade was promoted by Blanchi under fire.
"Does anyone have any better suggestions?" Blanchi, sitting at the head, scanned with her gaze and took the initiative to speak.
Subsequently, the generals and staff below began constant discussions, brainstorming arrangents, using strategies to compensate for the disparity in strength, and the scene beca slightly chaotic.
The few important figures sitting beside Blanchi were also whispering at this mont. They didn't avoid Blanchi when communicating, which indirectly told this Songstress so information.
"The current situation is extrely urgent, even if we lock down the entire Western Star Region's hyperspace routes, the vanguard of the Fifth Fleet will arrive in the Sharp-Snout Shark Star Domain in half a month."
"In the current status, if a decisive battle is to be fought in the Sharp-Snout Shark Star Domain, victory is almost impossible."
"A frontal decisive battle is not feasible, we can only take risks and use so clever tricks."
"If we activate the military factories in the entire Western Star Domain and build ships with all our might, how long would it take to produce 1,000 battleships?"
"Haha, I want to say that even with full blueprints, technology, and personnel, it would take three years." A white-haired technical expert shook his head.
"Originally, due to the split at that ti, the Western Star Domain had few military industrial enterprises, even the starships our fleet owns mostly co from the Central Star Domain and Southern Star Domain, with their main raw materials, including various special steel and parts, sourced from different star domains, it is impossible to gather in a short ti."
"Doesn't that an if one breaks, there will be one less?" A Sequence 8 faction master sitting frowned, unaware of the military industry information, as he usually focuses on practicing the Transcendent Sequence.
"That's right, so I was surprised that you all supported independence at that ti, thought you had so trump card or good thods." The technical expert took off his glasses and shook his head as he wiped them.
"Anyway, I'm also getting old, failure doesn't matter, it's just a pity for those young children, alas."
After he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
"Looks like we can only try to bring out those rusty old fellows." A short, slender old man sitting in the corner slowly spoke up after a long ti.
"You an?" The technical expert nearby seed to rember sothing but was not too sure.
"You should be able to think of it. Four hundred years ago, the Western Star Domain was also a densely populated area of Federal military enterprises, even an important production site for the fifth generation of battleships."
"Ah, ah, can't be, Old Siso Sir, you really aren't thinking of digging up those old fellows from the ground even older than you to fight, right?" The expert astonished, put his glasses back on, seemingly ready to have a good look at this old man.
"Why not? We are currently in a defensive position, the Fifth Fleet has a mission to accomplish, which ans we actually don't need to produce starships that can engage in hyperspace travel or even move, just gathering enough firepower equivalent to battleships in the Hemu Star Domain is enough."
"The technology of the fifth-generation battleships, we still retain it, it's just because of patent loss that we can't produce it. But now that we've re-founded the nation, there's naturally no need to worry about patent issues, and the firepower of the fifth-generation battleships is not too much weaker than the seventh generation, there are just considerable differences in technology and main gun structure."
"But..." The technical expert actually had many questions to ask, but soon he was interrupted by others.
"I say, quit the 'but', now that there's even a possible thod like this, we can only seize it and try." This faction leader possessed transcendent power that technical experts couldn't match, and rely with ntal pressure, he was forced to shut his mouth.
"Alright then, in that case, I can only cooperate fully, after all, for the entire Western populace, we cannot give up."
