Chapter 192: Award Acceptance Speech

Congratulations, congratulations.

When the results of the individual finals just came out, the other members of the Star Sea Grand Fleet gathered around and congratulated Chen Bo Jun on his victory.

Chen Bo Jun looked at his companions nearby and Qin Ge walking over from not far away, and for the first time he showed a silly smile, changing his usual steady and mature demeanor.

"It was just luck, just luck, thank you everyone."

Seeing Chen Bo Jun's goofy state, the others couldn't help but laugh. At that moment Qin Ge also walked to his side and said, "Your tactics aren't bad, congratulations, Bo Jun."

"This is all thanks to the commander-in-chief's cultivation; if it weren't for you, I could never have won the individual championship." Chen Bo Jun sincerely thanked Qin Ge.

The others nearby also nodded in agreement, saying that without Qin Ge's summoning and without his corresponding training methods and drills, they would now be no better than ordinary freshmen, perhaps even worse.

"This individual finals victory is your own effort and strength; don't so easily deny yourself," Qin Ge said with a smile.

At that moment, Chen Bo Jun's last shipgirl, Firefly, had already jumped onto the pier. She ran toward Chen Bo Jun, shouting "Commander" as she ran.

Then Chen Bo Jun squatted down, opened his arms, and embraced the flying tackle of this meritorious one, standing up while holding her.

"Commander, Commander, did you see my million-head hammer at the end? Awesome, right?" Firefly asked Chen Bo Jun proudly.

"Awesome, awesome." Chen Bo Jun said with a laugh.

"Hehe, right, I told you my million-head hammer is powerful; the commander didn't believe me before and said not to let me ram, but look—I rammed her once and won," Firefly happily told Chen Bo Jun.

"But that's still too dangerous; from now on you should use it less, only in absolute emergencies, understand?" Chen Bo Jun said to Firefly.

"Heh heh, I know, I know." Firefly said impatiently, "Commander, a kiss, you promised me before."

"Uh." When Firefly said that, Chen Bo Jun's face suddenly turned dark.

The people nearby burst out laughing, Li Chenming laughing so hard he couldn't straighten his waist, "Chen Bo Jun, I didn't realize you liked this kind of thing before!"

"Haha, exactly, Firefly is still so small, Chen Bo Jun, aren't you afraid of the military police?" Wang Yueqin added fuel to the fire from the side.

"You don't know anything; Chen Bo Jun's this is called caring, he should be treating Firefly like his sister." Zhang Yingwei spoke up.

Zhang Xiaotian at the side twitched his mouth and said to Zhang Yingwei, "Originally there was nothing, but after your explanation I feel even more off."

Hearing these words, Chen Bo Jun's face darkened further; he suddenly felt that everyone around him was just watching the drama without caring about the seriousness, and he involuntarily looked toward Qin Ge.

All I saw was Qin Ge and his shipgirl whispering something, not looking this way for a moment. Just as he felt helpless, the sound from the stage nearby was like heavenly music, saving him.

"Now let's welcome the individual competition champion Chen Bo Jun and his shipgirls to the stage to receive the award."

At this moment Qin Ge turned his head to glance at Anshan on stage, then smiled and said to Chen Bo Jun, "Go on, welcome your glory."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Chen Bo Jun solemnly nodded, then brought his shipgirls onto the stage.

Instantly, applause like thunder echoed through the clouds, and amidst that applause Chen Bo Jun and his shipgirls stood at the center of the stage, receiving the first-place glory trophy from Anshan's hands.

"Chen Bo Jun, Commander, as the winner of this individual competition, do you have any experience or tips to share with us? I'm sure the commanders below would love to hear your sharing." Anshan said to Chen Bo Jun.

Chen Bo Jun took the microphone from Anshan's hand, looked at the sea of people below and their eager expressions, and his emotions involuntarily became somewhat excited.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Bo Jun, a second-year graduate. Today I am deeply honored to stand here and accept this award for the individual drill championship. I am very grateful to my shipgirls, because they are loyal to my tactics and have exerted their own strength, making this moment possible."

"And the person I most need to thank next is my Grand Fleet Commander, Instructor Qin Ge."

When Chen Bo Jun said this, Qin Ge below couldn't help but smile, and shortly afterward several other members of the Star Sea Grand Fleet also looked toward Qin Ge, their faces also showing smiles.

At this moment they also shared the same feeling as Chen Bai Jun, but there is one person who deserves great thanks, naturally Qin Ge. However the other commanders don't really know what that means, after all they all know Qin Ge as the tactics course instructor and a first-year student at the school, but what does "Grand Fleet Commander" mean?

Seeing the doubtful crowd below, Chen Bo Jun said, "Some people might wonder why Instructor Qin Ge is still a first-year student and still in school, yet has become the Grand Fleet Commander?"

"Actually this goes back to the beginning; at that time we few people accepted the invitation of first-year Li Chenming to join a yet-to-be-formed Grand Fleet, and that Grand Fleet was precisely the prototype of the Grand Fleet I am now in."

"I remember that we went with eight people, but only five remained in the end, and those five included me; we became the first batch of the Star Sea Grand Fleet."

"Later, because Instructor Qin Ge's fleet strength was already sufficient to serve as a Grand Fleet commander, after special approval from the Maritime Affairs Bureau, our Star Sea Grand Fleet was simply registered there."

"After that we trained and grew together, and only then did we have my today. Back then I never dared to imagine standing on this stage, but now I have stood up, and this is naturally thanks to Instructor Qin Ge, of course plus my own effort."

"Therefore I take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Instructor Qin Ge, and to thank everyone in the Star Sea Grand Fleet; it is our mutual help and support along the way that has made me who I am today."

When Chen Bo Jun finished speaking and passed the microphone to Anshan, thunderous applause erupted below; amidst that applause, the name "Star Sea Grand Fleet" appeared for the first time in the crowd's view.

Some people fell into contemplation, including some freshmen and some second-year students about to graduate.

They had heard of such things before, but previously they treated it as a joke, because after all, forming a Grand Fleet within the school is too uncertain.

But now no one dares to treat it as a joke, for from Chen Bo Jun's account they learned that this Grand Fleet has already been established in the Maritime Affairs Bureau.
