More than three garrisons?

So what else?

Could it be the fleet guarding the entrance to the main spiral arm?

But Xue Qiang also said just now, those 20,000 warships are more than 2,000 light years away from the imperial capital, and as long as they move, we can easily find out...

"Brigadier General Jiang, what are you talking about?"

"From what we know so far, the Empire has been laying production lines in Auston and building Derek-class warships for eight years."

"Why do you think that none of these warships have been touched?"

"There seems to be no evidence, can you prove it?"

"So, even if the Empire has already had a batch of Derek-class warships in service before, it's not a strange thing."

"It's just that since it's a secret fleet, if there is really a group of Derek-class warships in service, then the most likely location for it to be stationed is the so-called Hamyston."

"Of course, this is just my guess and cannot be proven."

"But..."

"Minister Xue, although it is very likely that they will not be able to obtain the specific location of Hamiston from Gu Ren, I think it should still be possible to ask how many Derek-class warships the empire has built over the years, what do you say?"

Hearing this, Xue Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, even if Grune hid Hamiston well enough to be interrogated to get the exact location, but...

As for how many Derek-class warships the Empire has built, and whether there is a fleet of Derek-class warships in service, I believe there should still be a few people who know.

At least, Seth would know for sure.

"I see, I'll take care of this!"

Xue Qiang also knew the importance of this matter, and immediately nodded emphatically.

After all, there's a big difference.

One is three thousand garrison battleships.

The other is 3,000 garrison ships, plus an unknown number of Derek-class warships.

If it is really as Jiang Xingchen speculated.

Then it is necessary to find out how many Derek-class warships there are.

Failure to do so could lead to tactical and even strategic miscalculations.

Thus making the Federation pay a huge price.

Half a month has passed since the last meeting.

During this time, the federal intelligence services made tremendous progress.

Although targeted drugs still haven't been made, through various attempts, one of the important people has opened their mouths.

That's Seth, the military minister of the Kerry Empire!

After Seth spoke, Xue Qiang reported the information he asked.

Everyone was a little shocked.

It is almost exactly the same as Jiang Xingchen's speculation.

Hamiston is a top-secret scientific research base in the Carey Empire, and this base is responsible for the project of hyperspace technology.

Although Seth didn't know much, as far as he could tell, he had heard Gouren say that Hamiston had built the first prototype of a hyperspace engine.

However, this prototype still has a lot of problems to solve, and it can't be put into practical use right away.

At the same time, the number of Derek-class warships built by the Carey Empire over the years has also been clarified.

In addition, Seth also admitted that there was indeed a 5,000 Derek-class warship in service, because he was responsible for deploying the crew at that time.

It's just that where this fleet went after its service, only Grune knows.

There is also a very important message, and that is...

A few days before Gruen was attacked in the Imperial Capital, he had sent the last of his garrison to Hamiston.

In other words, it is likely that Hamiston now has 5,000 Derek-class warships in service, as well as a garrison fleet.

That's 6,000 warships!

This is not a small number, and it is even 50% more than all the Zhurong-class warships of the Federation combined.

Once these ships are all equipped with hyperspace engines, the Empire does have the ability to turn the tables around.

Even if you can't completely defeat the Federation, you can go wherever you want through hyperspace technology, just like the current Federation, and attack directly into the depths of hostile civilizations.

At that point, the Federation's only option is to make a peace deal with the Carey Empire.

If you don't come to hit me, I won't come to hit you.

After all, everyone has hyperspace technology, and no one can stop anyone, right?

But the consequence of this is...

Fighting is much stronger than the Federation, and in just a few years, the comprehensive combat power of the Kairui Empire will far surpass that of the Federation.

So, find Hamiston, and destroy it along with the fleet stationed in the Empire before it can completely break through hyperspace technology...

This is the highest priority of the Federation right now.

For now, there are only two ways to do this.

One is that the intelligence services get Gruen to speak, and Grune knows where Hamyston is.

The other is...

Track down Kyle's fleet and finally find Hamiston's location!

Soon, not a few days have passed.

There was good news from the intelligence services.

Truth-spitting agent for the Kerry people...

Nailed it!

Xue Qiang: That's excited...

Finally able to pry open this guy's mouth, right?

So, he immediately went into action.

I have to say that the effect is really good, allowing Xue Qiang to get a lot of information from Gu Ren's mouth.

Like what...

Even before the fall of the imperial capital, he had already issued an order to all the administrative districts, and Celt would succeed him to the throne.

Like what...

Now the supreme head of Hamiston is his son Selt, and Selt is also the chief scientist of the empire, but he has never made it public.

Another example...

About the location of Hamiston!

This was an unexpected gain for Xue Qiang.

After all, he also agreed with Jiang Xingchen's speculation before.

Unless Grenne was a man who spared his life, he should have killed all the ministers before the fall of the imperial capital, and then committed suicide.

And judging from the interrogation of Gu Renen these days, Xue Qiang has also confirmed that this guy is definitely not a person who is afraid of death.

This also made Xue Qiang more convinced of Jiang Xingchen's speculation, so he didn't have much hope that Gu Ren knew Hamilton's location.

But the question is...

Gruin really knew where Hamiston was?

It's simply...

Immediately, he informed Mu Zhengfeng of the news.

When he first got the news, Mu Zhengfeng was very excited.

Now that you know where it is, let's just solve it with a gravity bomb.

Otherwise, you may not be able to fight against the Derek-class with 6,000 ships whose combat power is no worse than that of the Zhurong class, isn't that a head convulsion?

However...

When Mu Zhengfeng learned where the place Gu Ren was talking about, it was like a basin of cold water poured down, and his heart suddenly pulled out the cold.

Corroded airspace!

A place comparable to the Nebula of Death!
