Chapter 187 Peace Talks
Claire soon drove the transport boat to the Xuefeng.
The moment he stepped out of the transport ship, the voice of the ship's intelligent computer sounded from the radio in the warehouse of the Xuefeng transport boat.
"Welcome aboard, Lieutenant Colonel Claire... Please move to the bridge, Captain Lieutenant Colonel Qi Yiming is waiting for you."
Lieutenant Colonel Claire, this familiar yet unfamiliar name almost made Claire cry on the spot.
However, when he thought that he would soon meet Qi Yiming, who was also an awakened person like him, Claire restrained his emotions and followed the indicator light inside the ship to the bridge of the Xuefeng.
Claire, who came to the bridge, still saluted Qi Yiming in accordance with the custom of the former Human Federation, and then said solemnly: "The Lieutenant Colonel Captain of the Garrison Fleet applies for boarding, please approve."
Qi Yiming also stood at attention and returned the salute before saying: "Approved to board the ship."
Then the two looked at each other with eager eyes, and the two pairs of big hands were tightly held together at the same time.
Claire's emotions, which had been well controlled, suddenly went out of control, and tears kept falling from her eyes: "The glory of the Federation, illuminate the stars."
"The glory of the Federation, illuminate the stars." Qi Yiming held Claire's thin hands and continued: "Now is not the time to reminisce. You go and rest first, and we will talk slowly when we return to our own territory. There are three comrades waiting for you over there, all from your garrison fleet."
At this moment, Claire was so excited that she couldn't speak. She could only nod continuously, and then followed Qi Yiming's adjutant to the cabin specially prepared for him to rest.
Watching Claire leave, Qi Yiming calmed down and said to the navigator: "Turn the bow, we're going back!"
At the same time, he also ordered the weapons to recover all drones.
Soon, the Xuefeng and the transport ship that came with her activated the jumping bridge to the Lando galaxy.
After Qi Yiming left, the commander of the Commercial Alliance Garrison Fleet quickly submitted a detailed report on the incident to the alliance's top leaders.
At this time, Genoa had received the news of the defeat of the Ninth Fleet. She had not been eating well or sleeping well these days, and she looked at the border star field occupied by Qi Yiming on the star map with worry all day long.
Genoa knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to capture the Xuefeng, and not only that, the alliance had to be on guard against Qi Yiming and his fleet entering the alliance territory again.
With the strength Qi Yiming showed now, he was fully capable of swallowing up another star system of the Commercial Alliance.
But when he saw the battle report sent by the garrison fleet, he keenly caught Qi Yiming's idea.
Qi Yiming, who was able to continue the attack, only commanded the Xuefeng to pick up someone in the Mithus star system bordering the Landu star system, and then turned around and went back.
This undoubtedly told Genoa that his appetite was not big, and he only wanted a border star field at present.
In the case of not being able to catch and defeat, Genoa really didn't want to create another powerful enemy for the alliance.
The current civil war has put the fleet of the Commercial Alliance in an extremely unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts. If another BUG-like enemy like Qi Yiming is established, the defensive pressure of the Commercial Alliance will be too great.
Since Qi Yiming has no desire to continue to expand for the time being, Genoa will send people to negotiate with Qi Yiming secretly, of course, it still has to declare that it will fight to take back the lost border star field.
Although the occupied area has been initially governed and various social activities are on the right track, Qi Yiming, who wants to rule here for a long time, does not have a solid political foundation in the occupied area, and he really needs time to digest it.
Whether it is a secret peace talk or a big peace talk, it makes no difference to Qi Yiming. What he cares most about is that the ceasefire between the two sides will bring him a period of stable development and accumulate strength for the continued expansion in the future.
So Qi Yiming readily agreed to Genoa's secret peace talk request.
The most important thing that prompted Qi Yiming to agree to the peace talk was not that Qi Yiming wanted peace, but that Claire's arrival brought him two good and bad news.
The good news is that another modular warship appeared in Qi Yiming's field of vision, but the bad news is that this modular warship was discovered by the Yunhuan Federation eight years ago and was strictly protected. The Yunhuan Federation Academy of Sciences has already started to study the modular warship.
Qi Yiming was shocked when he heard this, so Genoa sent someone to contact him privately and soon received Qi Yiming's promise to temporarily stop expansion.
After settling all the things, Qi Yiming immediately set off from the Ancestor Starfield to the Yunhuan Federation.
Claire didn't care about resting and followed Qi Yiming to the Yunhuan Federation, because his wife was still stuck in the Mithus Galaxy, and he had to find someone to call his wife back from the Mithus Galaxy.
Qi Yiming asked Claire about the situation of the Spear along the way.
The Spear is the only battleship in the armored system of the Strategic Strike Fleet.
The design of the Strategic Strike Fleet is very strange. After the cruiser, the battlecruiser was not designed, but the battleship was directly designed.
The reason why this battleship is called the Spear is that in addition to the three twin-mounted super-heavy main guns, 23 large main guns and hundreds of secondary guns installed on the ship, the 35-kilometer-long rectangular ship itself is a super main gun.
Because the Spear is the main gun designed for the higher-level super flagship Titan.
In addition to calling it the Spear, scientists from the former Federal Academy of Sciences prefer to call it the Particle Light Spear.
When the Spear is transformed into the Particle Light Spear form, its range can cross the entire Lando galaxy.
Qi Yiming certainly didn't want to watch such a powerful weapon being dismantled and studied by scientists from the Yunhuan Federation.
So the Xuefeng maintained a very high flying speed on the way.
Qi Yiming was afraid that it would be too late, and the Yunhuan Federation scientists who didn't understand the importance of the Zhanmao really dismantled it. Qi Yiming would really be in tears at that time.
But after arriving at the Yunhuan Federation, Qi Yiming and Claire were both in the dark, and they didn't know where to find the trace of the Zhanmao.
Qi Yiming had no choice but to agree to Claire to pick up his wife first, and Qi Yiming planned to wander around the Yunhuan Federation for a while, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.
The existence of the Xuefeng was no longer a big secret to the outside world, so it was quickly recognized by the officials of the Yunhuan Federation.
Especially the Fei family of the Yunhuan Federation.
Fei Min, as the current head of the Fei family, was the first person to contact Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming actually didn't have a good impression of these people. A family that gave up the national justice for personal gain really disgusted Qi Yiming.
But there was no other way. Qi Yiming, who was not familiar with the Yunhuan Federation, had to bite the bullet and ask Fei Min some questions, hoping to find some clues from them.
