Chapter 140

Disappointment? Not really, just that the fleet formation will need a little adjustment later. After all, a battleship can do far more than a heavy cruiser can, at the very least our rear firepower isn't weak at all now. Qin Ge said to Luodenni.

Indeed, counting the commander here, I now have three battleships and two aircraft carriers, so we should indeed strengthen the presence of other ship types in the fleet." Luodenni nodded, saying to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "So this time I can accept both destroyers and light cruisers."

Then Commander, go ahead and get busy; once construction is done, let's go out together for a meal to celebrate." Guanghui said to Qin Ge.

That's natural." Qin Ge nodded and walked over to the Construction Device again.

This time Qin Ge took a Wisdom Cube and 600 units of Supplies, placing them into the light Construction Device beside the heavy Construction Device.

After pressing the start button, the Construction Device began to vibrate violently. And when it stopped, a time appeared on the Construction Device's screen.

1:15:00!

Seeing this time, Qin Ge couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, "Indeed, each construction doesn't necessarily yield the ship type one has in mind; this time should be the Leander-class cruiser, or maybe the Brooklyn-class cruiser?"

But overall, both are quite excellent light cruisers; let's build her first, then see exactly who she is."

Saying that, Qin Ge stepped forward, placing the Rapid Construction Tool in his hand into the Construction Device's recess. After pressing the start button beside it, the whole machine began to shake violently, emitting a booming sound.

Next, the warehouse door slowly opened a crack, and smoke accompanied by purple light spread out. Thus, in Qin Ge's anticipating gaze, they gradually grew larger, the smoke gradually dissipated, and a figure with blue hair appeared before Qin Ge.

Commander, hello, I am Hai Lun Na, scouting is my forte; please……lead us to Victory!" The blue-haired figure had purple eyes, which at this moment carried a hint of sorrow, as she said to Qin Ge.

Hai Lun Na, a Brooklyn-class light cruiser, is the White Eagle Navy's light cruiser with the strongest firepower. Due to suffering severe damage in the Pearl Harbor attack, she underwent repairs and was fitted with the latest SG Radar.

This latest SG Radar also became Hai Lun Na's reliance thereafter, and made her the first ship to receive a collective commendation from the Navy Department. However, during the Battle of Kula Bay, Hai Lun Na was struck by a torpedo and subsequently sank.

Qin Ge saw Hai Lun Na's sorrowful eyes, thought of her life experiences, and suddenly understood why this girl was so sorrowful.

I am Qin Ge; from now on I will be your commander, so rest assured, Hai Lun Na, I will make full use of your strengths and lead our fleet to Victory." Qin Ge said to Hai Lun Na.

Thank you, Commander; I will also strive in future wars." Hai Lun Na said to Qin Ge.

Hmm." Qin Ge nodded, "Next, I'll take you to meet our comrades-in-arms; from now on, whether in battle or in daily life, we'll be together with them, so let's get acquainted first."

Hmm." Hai Lun Na nodded.

Qin Ge brought her before everyone and introduced, "This is Hai Lun Na, the White Eagle Navy's Brooklyn-class light cruiser; her specialty is radar scanning, so from now on, in the aspect of scouting guidance, we will rely on Hai Lun Na's help."

And with her, Ling Bo, you no longer need to rush out recklessly to gather the enemy's positional information."

Welcome, Hai Lun Na." Guanghui said with a smile; for her gentle nature, it was easy to sense Hai Lun Na's sorrow, so she immediately expressed her welcome to Hai Lun Na.

Thank you." Hai Lun Na said somewhat restrainedly.

Seeing Hai Lun Na like this, fortunately Qin Ge himself helped introduce her: "This is the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier Guanghui, and also the Banrenma; this is one of the Royal Navy's Big Seven, Luodenni; and this one is the Royal Head Maid Belfast."

These three are Sakura Empire's shipgirls: respectively Nengdai, Ling Bo, and also Biyu, who can be considered your old friend and old rival."

And this one is the Iron Blood's Prince Ou Gen Qin Wang, and the Sardinian Empire's flagship Weineituo."

Hello." With Qin Ge's introduction, Hai Lun Na could finally match the shipgirls before her with their names, and thus became somewhat familiar with her own fleet.

Everyone nodded at Hai Lun Na in turn, greeting her politely.

Since everyone is now acquainted, and coincidentally school has just let out today, let's go out for a meal. Let's celebrate together, welcoming the three new companions into our fleet." Qin Ge said to everyone.

Heh, does the commander still want to celebrate even though his wish fell through?" Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed.

There's nothing to be done; luck is unpredictable, and isn't there a saying that goes well? 'Change is faster than planning.'

Although we didn't reach the ideal composition we had in mind, this time we have the addition of Luodenni, Biyu, and Hai Lun Na, which once again boosts our fleet-building strength.

Isn't this worth celebrating?" Qin Ge laughed, saying to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

Naturally it is." Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, saying.

Then, let's all go celebrate together; after we return, we'll assign resting places." Qin Ge nodded to everyone.

Hmm.

As everyone nodded in agreement, Qin Ge then led them out toward the outside of the academy.

At this moment, the Prince of Wales knocked open Mikasa's House Door.

"Huh? Dean, what made you come here?" Mikasa smiled and said to the Prince of Wales.

"Mikasa, do we still have to be so formal between us?" the Prince of Wales smiled.

"That's true, please come in, Prince." Mikasa nodded, said to the Prince of Wales, and then stepped aside from the doorway.

"Are you not going back to the Sakura Empire this year?" Having just entered and sat on the sofa, the Prince of Wales asked Mikasa, who was brewing tea for her.

"I never go back when I celebrate the Donghuang Spring Festival each year, right?" Mikasa smiled and said, "Compared to the Sakura Empire, I still prefer to spend the New Year with everyone at the Academy."

"Hehe, so are you still spending New Year with Yixian and the others this year?" the Prince of Wales asked.

"I'm not going this year; I've made plans with A Furore and Qin Ge to go to his place for New Year." Mikasa handed the tea to the Prince of Wales and said to her.

"Qin Ge and his ship girls aren't leaving the Academy for New Year either?" the Prince of Wales said, somewhat surprised.

"No, he's preparing to organize something called a New Year's Gala, and spend this New Year with his ship girls." Mikasa said.

"A New Year's Gala? That sounds interesting." the Prince of Wales stroked his chin and smiled.
