Chapter 75 Betting Everything
Qi Yiming commanded the Xuefeng to make a big circle and reunite with his fleet.
Wang Zongsheng's remaining combat power was not enough to threaten Qi Yiming's safety. Even if they fought a conventional artillery battle, Qi Yiming and his men had the support of the Redemption, and they could wear Wang Zongsheng out.
Wang Zongsheng was embarrassed. His teeth broke before the duck was cooked. No one could bear it.
Moreover, Wang Zongsheng was a very competitive person, otherwise he would not have managed such a large mercenary fleet.
But what if he was unwilling?
If he had not given up the attack on Wang Shuhua just now, Qi Yiming might have considered the safety of his teammates and given up attacking them, and went to rescue his teammates instead.
But there is no time retracing device in the world, so it is impossible for him to have a chance to start over.
Retreat is unwilling, but if you don't retreat, the remaining warships are not a threat to the Xuefeng at all.
Just when Wang Zongsheng was hesitating, a special battlecruiser with a hull of more than 15KM suddenly appeared near the battlefield.
Qi Yiming, who had already relaxed, became nervous again.
The unidentified warship that appeared near the battlefield at this time was an enemy, not a friend.
"Captain of that ancient warship, I am Mao Qiming, the head of the Flamingo Arms Group. I wonder if we can talk?" Mao Qiming extended an olive branch to Qi Yiming through a directional broadcast.
"What do you want to talk about?" Qi Yiming asked knowingly.
"Should we establish a private contact channel first?" Then Mao Qiming sent a communication request to Qi Yiming.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I'm busy..." Qi Yiming did not give the other party a good look.
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
"My last name is Qi."
"Mr. Qi, you have demonstrated your powerful combat power with a stunning battle. I wonder if you have the confidence to defeat my battlecruiser?"
Mao Qiming used a threatening trick right from the start, trying to use the gap in the warships to pressure Qi Yiming to surrender.
But is Qi Yiming the kind of person who accepts threats? Obviously not.
"It's just a battlecruiser..." Qi Yiming looked at Mao Qiming in the communicator calmly.
"What about the other two?" After a while, another battlecruiser appeared near the battlefield.
Qi Yiming didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Mao Qiming on the communication screen.
Mao Qiming smiled faintly: "What if there is a third one?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third battlecruiser also appeared near the battlefield.
Wang Shuhua and the other two were already as pale as death at this time, knowing that they would be explained here today.
Wang Zongsheng, who was standing next to him, twitched his mouth and said to the adjutant standing next to him: "If you don't take out the three battlecruisers earlier, and let us stand in front as cannon fodder, you are really a dog profiteer..."
In fact, Wang Zongsheng misunderstood Mao Qiming. He was taking a great risk to mobilize these three battlecruisers.
These three battlecruisers were originally parked in the dock of Flamingo Arms Company. They were products waiting to be delivered to customers after assembly. This time they were pulled out in the name of sea trials.
If there is any loss, he will have to pay a huge amount of compensation if the delivery date is delayed.
But Qi Yiming and the others don't know this. Wang Shuhua and the others saw so many battlecruisers for the first time and were shocked.
Qi Yiming was thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him.
Now the opponent has an absolute advantage. If they fight, the result is doomed.
Although Qi Yiming's Xuefeng had a record of capturing strategic cruisers, there was only one battlecruiser at that time, and now there are three.
Not responding for a long time is likely to anger the other party. Qi Yiming did not remain silent for too long: "What does Mr. Mao want to talk about?"
"It's very simple. As long as Mr. Qi cooperates with my engineering department to do some research on your warship."
"Research?"
"Yes, our Flamingo is a famous warship manufacturer and distributor. So we are very interested in the ancient warship in Mr. Qi's hands, and hope to learn some different design concepts from it to improve the product quality of our group."
"Do I have a choice?"
"Probably not..." Mao Qiming smiled when Qi Yiming asked this question.
Faced with the opponent's strong oppression, Qi Yiming really had no choice, but he was unwilling to hand over the Xuefeng.
The only way now was to divert Mao Qiming's attention to a more impactful target.
The only bargaining chip that Qi Yiming had that could arouse Mao Qiming's interest was the technological heritage of the former Human Federation.
Since Qiao Shan already knew this secret, it would not hurt to have one more person.
Moreover, Qi Yiming knew very well that there was a cruiser-level modular warship waiting for him to start on the route he planned.
Why was he so sure? Because Qi Yiming's military school classmates of the same period served on that warship, and Qi Yiming had paid special attention to the situation of that warship.
When Qi Yiming gets the cruiser-class modular warship, with the Xuefeng's ability to fight across levels, it should be easy to deal with several battlecruisers.
"Mr. Mao, aren't you curious about why I'm driving an ancient warship and wandering around so swaggeringly?" Qi Yiming asked a question first.
Mao Qiming was confident of victory and in a much better mood, so he started chatting with Qi Yiming: "This is indeed a bit unreasonable."
"Mr. Mao, please dismiss the people around you." Qi Yiming said mysteriously.
Mao Qiming thought about it, waved to the people standing around him, and put on the headset.
"A person of Mr. Mao's status should have heard of the former Human Federation, right?"
Mao Qiming first looked at Qi Yiming with astonishment, and then said with relief: "Mr. Qi is an awakener?"
Qi Yiming did not deny or confirm, but continued: "Aren't you curious whether the former Human Federation capital planet has the technological heritage of the Human Federation?"
"Of course..." Mao Qiming only said half of his words and looked at Qi Yiming with astonishment again: "Do you know the location of the former Human Federation capital planet?"
Qi Yiming's words were so clear, and his fleet was ready to travel far away, which made it easy for people to think of Qi Yiming's purpose.
Qi Yiming nodded calmly.
Qi Yiming was not afraid that Mao Qiming would take action against him after telling this secret, after all, he was the only one who knew the situation of the Human Federation capital planet best.
Qi Yiming could use the information gap to deceive Mao Qiming.
Of course, Mao Qiming was not a fool, and he would not believe just anyone who said he knew the secret about the former Human Federation capital planet.
"There are many liars these days!" Mao Qiming was cautious about Qi Yiming's revelations.
Qi Yiming certainly had a way to make the other party believe him.
Because since Mao Qiming knew that he had an ancient warship, it meant that whether directly or indirectly, Mao Qiming definitely had a certain connection with Qiao Shan.
"I wonder if Mr. Mao knows Qiao Shan?"
"Qiao Shan?" Mao Qiming frowned and thought for a long time before finding this person from his deep memory. Then he nodded and looked at Qi Yiming.
"Qiao Shan also has an ancient warship, which is the same as my warship, and this kind of warship is the key to entering the capital star of the Human Federation. If I'm not mistaken, Qiao Shan would have already set off for the former capital star of the Human Federation."
Mao Qiming's pupils shrank, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should believe Qi Yiming, after all, he had already said it with details.
