Chapter 127: Don't Make the Enlistment Ceremony Like a Proposal

Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales, "Why do I feel that Dean you care more about my Grand Fleet than I do?"

After hearing Qin Ge's words, the Prince of Wales smiled slightly, "That's because Guanghui had already told me before that you had the idea of establishing a Grand Fleet. So I started to look forward to it; I never expected you to actually establish a Grand Fleet now, so naturally I have to ask."

And you see, the Director of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, Qinglong, is sitting here; if you answer well, then I will allow your Grand Fleet to be registered right now.

Qin Ge glanced at Qinglong, then at the Prince of Wales, "Really? There won't be any extra conditions, will there?"

The Prince of Wales's face darkened slightly, "No."

After hearing that, Qinglong also smiled, "It seems Commander Qin Ge is like someone who, after being bitten by a snake once, fears a rope for ten years. But just as the Prince of Wales said, if your answer can satisfy us, then what's wrong with me granting you registration for the Grand Fleet now?"

Qin Ge awkwardly waved his hand, "Heh, hearing this news right now really feels hard to believe."

"Hey, you are now one of the most popular commanders in Donghuang; whether you say you're establishing a Grand Fleet or joining one, many people will follow."

"So someone like you is destined to rise; when the time comes, the Maritime Affairs Bureau will naturally give you the appropriate conveniences." said the Prince of Wales.

"So now you just need to clearly state the purpose of establishing your Grand Fleet, as well as the policies and strategies of your Big Build Fleet, and that's enough."

After hearing the Prince of Wales's words, Qin Ge realized how great his influence now was. He then lightly coughed and said to the two, "My Grand Fleet is named the Star Sea Grand Fleet, meaning our journey is the sea of stars."

"Great name! Who came up with it?" the Prince of Wales laughed.

Qin Ge blushed, "Um, I came up with it."

"Not bad, and besides, why are you standing there? Sit down, let's have a good talk." The Prince of Wales became increasingly interested.

Seeing this, Qin Ge had no objection, sat down, and said to the Prince of Wales, Qinglong, and Guanghui, "Including me, we have six people total—five freshmen and one sophomore. Our Grand Fleet's goal is to diligently develop our strength, wait for an opportunity, and go to the Front Line to fight."

"Oh, you want to go to the Front Line?" the Prince of Wales raised his eyebrows, "The Front Line isn't a friendly place; according to your development, it would be better to hold the Nearshore defense."

Qin Ge nodded, "That is indeed the best method for our Grand Fleet's overall safety, but danger comes with reward. When we have the capability to go to the Front Line, I think the Front Line is more suitable for the development of a Grand Fleet like ours."

"Seek wealth through danger? If anyone else said that, I would definitely think they have a brain problem, but if you say it, I somewhat believe you truly have that strength." said Qinglong.

"Thank you, Director Qinglong of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, but this idea of mine also carries some risk, so I plan to first send a certain number of personnel as a vanguard team to the Front Line."

"Only when I confirm that the Front Line's benefits outweigh its drawbacks for the Grand Fleet's development will I dispatch the entire Grand Fleet to the Front Line; if the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, we will remain at the Nearshore mouth to develop, awaiting the opportunity to enter the Front Line." Qin Ge said to Qinglong.

"Hmm, not bad; the idea of a vanguard team is also acceptable. After all, the Front Line often issues conscription missions to various Grand Fleets, but they are not mandatory; if you take this opportunity to go to the Front Line, that is absolutely no problem." said the Prince of Wales.

"By the way, I looked at your recent mission commission records; the completion ratings are all A to S level, not bad at all." said Qinglong.

Qin Ge smiled, looked at Guanghui, and said to the others, "That's because Guanghui helped me, allowing me to complete missions without any hesitation."

"Ah, this is clearly Commander Qin Ge's own achievement; why is it turning to me again?" Guanghui smiled, "Even without my help, I believe Commander Qin Ge's mission completion rate would definitely be this number."

"Oh, looking at this, Guanghui, do you still highly approve of the emotional commander? This is the first time I've seen you so approving of a commander; how come? Could it be you want to join Commander Qin Ge's fleet?" said Qinglong with a smile.

As soon as Qinglong's words came out, Qin Ge instantly felt a bit embarrassed. After all, if he joined his fleet, it would be like becoming family; if this remark were made personally by Guanghui, it would be better, but now that Qinglong directly asked, it feels somewhat like a matchmaking scene from that world.

Moreover, not knowing exactly what Guanghui currently thinks, Qin Ge dare not guarantee it, so at once he appears both embarrassed and somewhat hopeful.

Meanwhile, Guanghui, looking at the somewhat embarrassed Qin Ge, smiled and said to the Prince of Wales and Qinglong, "Indeed, I have that intention; I just don't know if Commander Qin Ge is willing."

"Ah?" Qin Ge naturally also heard Guanghui's voice; he had thought Guanghui would make an excuse at this point, but he never expected Guanghui to directly admit it and shift the topic to himself.

"What 'ah,' Qin Ge? Everyone Guanghui said indeed has the intention to join your fleet; so what about you, are you willing or not?" the Prince of Wales laughed and said.

"Let me tell you, Guanghui is now a max-level warship girl, and she comes with top-notch ship equipment. A warship girl like her placed outside would absolutely be a sought-after presence; now wanting to become your warship girl is absolutely your luck. So hurry up a bit—are you willing or not?"

Qin Ge stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, stood up, and said to the Prince of Wales, "Willing, of course willing, absolutely 100% willing!"

"Since you're willing, don't say it to me; I won't join your fleet, you should say it to the person concerned." the Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge speechlessly, looking at Qin Ge's dazed expression, he couldn't help but think.

"This idiot, the meal is already prepared and served before you; if you still don't cherish it, then you're really quite foolish."

Thus Qin Ge turned his head, looked at Guanghui with a face full of smiles, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and at the same time his mind went blank.

Originally he thought he and Guanghui needed more time to get used to each other before waiting for the day Guanghui would join his fleet, but happiness came too suddenly; in this very moment, he actually received words akin to a confession.

Thus Qin Ge, with a slight tremor in his voice, said to the smiling Guanghui, "Guanghui, although we haven't been together for long, I've discovered that I really like the feeling of being with you, so I now sincerely invite you to join my fleet."

"Cough, although speaking now is rather impolite, Commander Qin Ge, what's with that proposal-like expression on your face?" the Prince of Wales teased……
