Chapter 53 Qi Yiming's Considerations
When Xuefeng arrived at the second line of defense of the Song family, the remaining fleet of the Song family was already on full alert.
But the captains of the warships were trembling.
They knew the combat power of Xuefeng very well. Compared with Xuefeng... well... there was no need to compare, they were not in the same dimension at all.
Just when Qi Yiming was ready to slaughter again, the remaining fleet of the Song family suddenly turned around and evacuated the second line of defense.
This made Qi Yiming alert all of a sudden.
"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal... We were clearly preparing to fight a big battle just now, but such a sudden retreat must be a trap or a collective mental breakdown..." Qi Yiming muttered in his mouth, and his voice was just enough for the couple to hear.
"It's better to slow down at this time, and never rush for success."
So Xuefeng began the demolition work, and waited for the follow-up fleet to catch up.
Ten minutes later, Liu Jun finally caught up with the remaining fleet of the Xuanwu Federation.
At first, Liu Jun thought Qi Yiming would throw the demolition task of the second line of defense to him as before.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yiming actually joined him in the demolition work.
"Mr. Qi, why don't you rush?" Liu Jun unconsciously used the honorific.
Qi Yiming looked at the slightly excited Liu Jun on the communication screen and was furious.
To talk about Zheng Hu's death, part of the original intention was that Liu Jun and his men were defeated in the battle. Qi Yiming actually didn't want to see these people at all.
But in name, these people are still his comrades-in-arms. No matter how angry he is, this is not the time to lose his temper.
"The Song family's participating fleet retreat is a bit strange. I plan to slow down and see what they are up to." Qi Yiming explained while suppressing his dissatisfaction.
But what Qi Yiming didn't expect was that Liu Jun, a coward, actually volunteered to go to the last line of defense of the Song family for reconnaissance.
Qi Yiming originally wanted to refuse, after all, his intuition told him that the reconnaissance mission was very dangerous.
But then he thought again, it would be good to investigate, just in case he was wrong.
"Then be careful, you must calculate the charging time of the jump engine, and don't leave the jump in front of the opponent." Qi Yiming reminded him for the sake of his comrades.
After watching Liu Jun enter the jump acceleration mode, Qi Yiming organized the remaining fleet to continue the demolition.
But before the main control room on the defense line was destroyed, Liu Jun came back in a hurry.
"Mr. Qi... run quickly... I don't know where the old bastard of the Song family got a battlecruiser from!" After Liu Jun connected the communication, he urged Qi Yiming to leave quickly with a desperate look on his face.
"What? Battlecruiser?" Qi Yiming suddenly stood up from the captain's chair.
Qi Yiming did not doubt Liu Jun's words. After all, no one would be stupid enough to lie about military intelligence at this time.
"Yes, a battlecruiser, I saw it with my own eyes."
Qi Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his intuition was not wrong. The Song family really had a trump card.
"Did you see the logo on the battleship clearly? Are you sure it's the battlecruiser of the Song family?" Qi Yiming continued to ask for details.
"It seems, probably, it may not be the logo of the Song family." Liu Jun rolled his eyes and thought hard for a long time before he said uncertainly.
"I asked you to do reconnaissance, and you only reconnaissance this..." Qi Yiming complained madly in his heart.
"Forget it, it's probably an imperial battleship. The imperial battleship that can appear on the territory of the Song family now is definitely not for us to visit." Qi Yiming no longer entangled with the origin of this battlecruiser, but considered whether the Xuefeng could cope with it with its combat power.
Although the Xuefeng could easily deal with the previous battles, the next battle would face a battlecruiser.
After all, it was a battlecruiser. Even if the Xuefeng was advanced, it had to consider carefully when facing a guy much bigger than itself.
"Mr. Qi, you don't want to continue attacking, do you?" Liu Jun suddenly discovered a terrible fact, and Qi Yiming went crazy.
"Why not?" Qi Yiming raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Jun on the communication screen.
Liu Jun rolled his eyes and almost fainted. He screamed in a shrill voice to pull Qi Yiming back from the edge of madness: "That's a battlecruiser..."
In fact, Qi Yiming knew that it was not impossible for the Xuefeng to destroy a battlecruiser, but it would be very risky.
Because in the era of the Human Federation, the destroyers of the Strategic Strike Fleet had set a record of a single warship sinking a battlecruiser, but that was under the circumstances of an exercise.
What Qi Yiming has to consider now is whether to take this risk.
After all, he is a person who is leaving the Xuanwu Star Region. After Qi Yiming leaves, whether the Xuanwu Star Region will follow the Empire or form its own system has little to do with him, Qi Yiming.
But the problem is that the only exit of the Xuanwu Star Region is the territory of the Wanluo Empire.
He believes that the Wanluo Empire must have heavy troops at the exit to prevent the various forces in the Xuanwu Star Region from jumping off the wall.
Then there is room for discussion on how to fight the next battle.
It is necessary to hurt the Empire, but also to prevent the Empire from hating Qi Yiming, so that Qi Yiming can pass through the Wanluo Empire smoothly.
"It's a bit difficult..." Qi Yiming touched his chin and carefully considered the pros and cons of the whole thing.
"Mr. Qi... Mr. Qi..." Liu Jun frantically called Qi Yiming who was lost in thought in the communication channel.
"You say, I'm listening..." Qi Yiming replied absentmindedly.
"Listen to your uncle..." Liu Jun cursed in his heart, but said with a cheerful face: "Let's withdraw. A battlecruiser is not something our small federation can deal with..."
"Wait, what did you say just now?" Qi Yiming seemed to have grasped something and asked Liu Jun anxiously.
"I... I said it's not something our small federation can deal with..." Liu Jun timidly repeated what he just said.
It's not that Liu Jun is timid, he is really scared by Qi Yiming's abnormal combat power. Liu Jun believes that Qi Yiming can't beat the battlecruiser, but it will take only a few minutes to kill him, so Qi Yiming's sudden question made Liu Jun think that he had stepped on Qi Yiming's tail.
"Yes, why am I so stupid... War is the continuation of politics... I can make the empire unprofitable, so that even if they defeat me, how much effect can it have?" Qi Yiming finally thought of a perfect solution to this problem.
Qi Yiming believes that the Wanluo Empire is willing to shed so much blood to support the Song family, and there must be some shameful deal in the middle.
Use your brain to analyze it carefully, it is nothing more than the Song family using the Xuanwu star field as a bargaining chip to make some kind of political deal with the empire, but this political deal requires the empire to pay a price.
If Qi Yiming can make this price large enough, and then give a relatively small plan, there is no need to worry that the empire will not agree to a ceasefire.
Now it depends on what level this battlecruiser is in the eyes of the imperial high-ranking officials. If it is just an insignificant battleship, Qi Yiming really has no other good way to deal with the current situation.
