Chapter 40 The Beginning of the Broken Negotiations

The fleet logistics operated efficiently under the urging of Yang Le, and it took almost an hour to move the things in the small warehouse, his strength was completely because the value of the things in the warehouse was too high, he was afraid of long nights and dreams, and then he saw that the big thing had been decided, and he began to think about the big warehouse again, as the saying goes, grasshoppers are also meat, and now he needs to talk to Xiaodong, and ask Xiaodong to list the valuable things in the big warehouse, and then do it all.

At the same time, Zhao Deming's bedroom.

The hologram of the pirate leader was projected in front of Zhao Deming, what he didn't expect was that this leader turned out to be an Arqia, and before the formal negotiation, the leader looked at the old man several times and did not escape Zhao Deming's eyes, it seems that the leader's target is really this old man.

"Nice to move the warehouse, my human commissioner?" The pirate leader said first.

"It's okay, it's just a little time, I have to thank you so much, for extending your noble helping hand in such a difficult time," Zhao Deming replied playfully.

"Boy! Don't get an inch."

"Oops...... I'm angry."

"You ......" The pirate leader tried to suppress his anger, and only after a moment of calming down did he say, "The Human Commissioner is also a young talent, I want to make a deal with you, I don't know if you are interested"

"You make a deal with me?" Zhao Deming, who frowned slightly, stroked his scum, and squinted at the old man who was still closing his eyes and recuperating, "Your transaction should be related to this old man, right?" ”

"Hahaha...... The human commissioner is really smart, I am willing to exchange 10 million star coins for this old man, and I am not guilty of your robbery of my warehouse" After a hearty laugh, the pirate leader offered Zhao Deming a sky-high price.

10 million Star Coins? Hearing this, Zhao Deming glanced at the old man a few more times, the old man seemed to be still motionless and closed his eyes for the things in front of him, he gave up looking for answers from the old man, and began to ponder, "Ten million is definitely a large number, which also proves the value of this old man from the side, if you change to yourself who was poor and white before, you must choose the former, but now there is a fleet, money is by no means the best choice, he urgently needs a fleet commander, and he also wants to recruit this old man, But I'm not sure, I'm in a dilemma."

"What? You haven't thought about it yet, this is 10 million star coins, you can buy a cruiser, it's not a small amount of money for you now, you have to think about it," the pirate leader urged.

"Hmm...... I think you're going to be disappointed, I decided to reject your proposal," Zhao Deming calmly replied to the other party.

"Hmph...... In this way, I'll give you fifteen million, don't toast or eat and drink? ”

Zhao Deming, who broke his calm expression, with a shallow smile, raised a finger and shook it back and forth in front of the other party.

"You...... Okay, I'll tell you that this Archon is in a lot of trouble, so don't make yourself unhappy, this is my last chance for you" Perhaps overdone, the pirate leader inadvertently revealed some key information about the old man.

"Bluffing" This was Zhao Deming's first reaction, but after thinking about it carefully, he denied this speculation, and the high price offered by the other party and this eager attitude all showed that the old man's background was not simple from the side, "Did you really provoke any important person, so that he was imprisoned for ten years?" But he really needs such a talent who understands fleet command,"

"Fight" This is Zhao Deming's final decision, "Money can be found, but this person is afraid that after this village, there will be no such shop" After making up his mind, Zhao Deming looked at the pirate leader.

The pirate leader, who was already confident, felt Zhao Deming's sharp gaze, and waited for Zhao Deming's reply with a proud face, but his smug smile had not fully unfolded when he saw Zhao Deming give him the exact same finger as before, shaking it back and forth, and his smile instantly froze and he let out a roar of anger: "You will regret it" Then Zhao Deming in front of him disappeared, it seemed that the other party had turned off the holographic projection.

"Bastard......" The pirate leader let out a deafening roar on his flagship, and the pirates watched the restless leader pacing back and forth in silence, and after ten minutes, the pirate leader said his first words: "Tell the gold lord that the goods are lost"

After turning off the communication, Zhao Deming did not rush to talk to the old man, but chose to sit quietly and wait, silent waiting may be his best strategy now, and soon after, the old man broke this silence.

"You are taking a big risk by doing this, I am a very dangerous person," the old man said calmly.

"It can be seen from the attitude of the pirate leader, but I am willing to take this risk," Zhao Deming replied without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

"Well, you're very courageous, but if I told you the reason behind this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have negotiated it like this."

"It's up to you to be afraid or not, but I'm still confident in myself, and I really don't have anything to worry about."

"Hehe, the young man has some guts, then you listen, the person I offended is the Chief Consul, a person who almost covers the sky with one hand in my clan" Speaking of this person, the old man's calm face finally showed anger, and his green palm began to glow blue.

After hearing that it was the chief consul, Zhao Deming was also a little surprised, he could think that the person offended by this powerful old man must be unusual, but he didn't expect it to be the chief consul, this person he really couldn't afford to offend.

"What? It's difficult, I can understand your difficulties, to be honest, I don't expect anything, as a reward for saving me, I will introduce you to a defector fleet commander, this should be what you need most now, you are both human beings and get along well, and my own, I will give you a place in a while, you can put me there, of course, you can hand me over, but I will still do what I promised you, it can be seen as a reward I gave you after you refused to pirate" The old man calmly recounted all this.

Zhao Deming did not rush to express his position after hearing these words, not only because this matter involved the chief consul, but also because the old man's words touched the sore spot in his heart, recalling the tragic situation between himself and Zhang Lei in front of the portal, and the double swords left in the cellar later.

Slowly unbuttoning his jacket, a fist-sized scar located in Zhao Deming's heart with a double sword cross pattern appeared in front of the old man.

"This ......" Seeing such a shocking scar, the old man couldn't help but gasp, "How did you get this?" ”

"A permanent memory left by an enemy, you may understand some of my state of mind when you see this, so I hope you can stay and help me," Zhao Deming, who began to arrange his clothes as he spoke, was looking forward to the old man's reply.

"Ha, hahaha...... I really didn't expect that in the end, it was a human being who was willing to take me in, hahaha......" The old man who stood up instantly laughed wildly, his raised head and raised hands were adding this almost crazy laughter, he seemed to be venting the pain and helplessness of the past ten years, and after a long time, he slowly calmed down.

"Okay, you kid has this toughness, I can't be a shrinking turtle anymore, but I can't be a fleet commander anymore"

"Why?"

"Trust me, this is for your own good, the old boy of the Chief Consul will definitely make trouble for you if he sees me in the army again, so just give a staff officer or something"

"How can this be?"

"I'm past the age of Toumu's vanity, so let's do it," said the old man, shaking his hand.

"Where...... In that case, I haven't asked for your name yet? ”

"Name?" The old man who heard this seemed to be a few years old in an instant, and he seemed to recall some painful memories when he hesitated, "Forget it, forget it, my defector friend gave me their name Wang Pengxun, which means evil eagle, which is very appropriate for me back then."

"Then listen to you, what do you think we should do next?"

"Hahaha, you're welcome, this ass hasn't heated up the bench, you want me to give you ideas" Wang Pengxun in the hearty laughter showed his true heroic colors, "Okay, you first introduce the situation of your fleet and the current situation of the galaxy, and then I am giving you advice"

"Ah...... This, I have to ask someone else to come and tell you in detail, I don't know too well," Zhao Deming, who was slightly embarrassed, replied.

"This is not good, as the commander of a fleet, you must know everything about the fleet, otherwise failure is inevitable" Wang Pengxun changed his previous laughter, and his serious expression made Zhao Deming feel a trace of pressure, "Okay, you call someone, let's start here"

An hour later, Zhao Deming's room, which had been overcrowded, returned to the beginning of silence with Yang Le's last departure, Tom and Xiaodong respectively introduced the situation of their respective fleets, Yang Le was talking about logistics, and Zhao Deming was about the current situation in the galaxy, as well as the various preparations of the Star Alliance for war.

After everyone left, Zhao Deming said some other secrets, about the relationship with the Atlanteans, the power of the sun god, and the labor problems of the Arqians.

After listening to these contents, Wang Pengxun didn't speak for a whole hour, and Zhao Deming, who had been tossing for almost a day, felt that his physical strength was a little too much to keep up, and just when he was about to lose it, Wang Pengxun spoke.

"I have a very bold plan, first, to help you quickly integrate your existing fleet, and secondly, to have the ability to protect yourself, but it depends on the attitude of the Atlanteans, they are very important" Wang Pengxun, who frowned, was still in deep thought after saying these words.

When he heard Wang Pengxun say that he had a plan, Zhao Deming swept away his previous sleepiness and hurriedly asked: "You can say it, you don't have to hesitate."

"Hehe, you really believe me, then I'll be blunt, I want you to sell the battleships and three cruisers of the Archians"

"Ah......" Zhao Deming, who was so surprised that he couldn't believe that this was what Wang Pengxun said, and then asked with a little stammering: "You...... Are you sure? ”

"Of course it's confirmed, you listen to me and slowly tell you the plan for the future," Wang Pengxun said with a confident and somewhat treacherous expression.
