Chapter 194: Discipline and Team
"Hehe, I never expected that the vice commander of the Star Sea Grand Fleet would actually be a first-year student! It seems this Commander Li Chenming must have something extraordinary about him." Anshan said with a smile.
"Of course every fleet vice commander needs to be responsible for the fleet's members and also for the fleet's logistics, so every vice commander must"
"Well then, about Instructor Qin Ge and the winner Chen Bo Jun's Grand Fleet, we'll talk about that here." Anshan smiled, "Next up is our annual challenge match segment; previously we always brought in well-known Mingxu from the Maritime Affairs Bureau or the Zhi hui bu to let you compete on the same stage."
"However, over the years we've found that such matches are mostly for show, so this year we won't invite them; this time our challenge match has only one opponent, namely Instructor Qin Ge."
"Ah!" Upon hearing this result, the crowd erupted in an uproar, but Chen Bo Jun and his companions remained completely calm, because Qin Ge had already told them earlier; now it's just that Anshan has confirmed it.
Qin Ge smiled faintly, stepped onto the stage, and the eleven shipgirls each stood behind him, instantly capturing all attention in the venue.
"Instructor Qin Ge hasn't brought shipgirls to class in a long time; unnoticed, he already has eleven shipgirls? He's only a first-year student this year!"
"Not only that, have you noticed that half of Instructor Qin Ge's shipgirls are Super Rare Shipgirls?"
"And they're all quite large!"
"Obviously those two destroyers—no, even a single destroyer is relatively small."
"It's really enviable!"
"No, you say, Instructor Qin Ge already has eleven shipgirls now; then when he graduates, how many shipgirls will he have?"
When someone asked this question, the commanders around that person all fell silent.
Yeah, now that the first year has just ended, Qin Ge already has eleven shipgirls; what about a year from today?
These people dare not calculate, or rather they've never even seen such a situation.
And nowadays no one says Qin Ge is European, because this kind of luck means Europeans aren't even worthy to hold his shoes.
Moreover, looking at the aura emanating from these shipgirls, basically each shipgirl has already broken through at least twice.
What's more, some have already broken through three times.
Because during the previous individual competition, Qin Ge's shipgirls serving as referees could be seen that way, after all each referee's standard is a fully broken-through shipgirl.
Everyone now looks at Qin Ge on stage with a hint of fervor and a hint of respect.
When your strength is just a bit stronger than others', they might envy you; but when your strength far exceeds theirs, becoming an insurmountable chasm, then their gaze toward you holds only respect.
This moment is exactly that—because Qin Ge has far surpassed them, to the point they can't even see his silhouette.
Even while in the academy, during the first year one already possesses the strength to become a Grand Fleet Commander—something ordinary people cannot have.
Moreover, while everyone was discussing and fantasizing, Anshan came to Qin Ge's side and said to him, "Instructor Qin Ge, seeing your Grand Fleet members standing on the awards podium, how do you feel?"
"If I were to speak of feelings, then it would be sincerely feeling happy for them." Qin Ge smiled and said to Anshan.
"Oh, is it really that simple?" Anshan smiled.
Seeing the microphone handed over, Qin Ge instinctively took it. Afterwards he didn't look toward Li Chenming and company, but instead looked down at the commanders below.
"If possible, I'd like to give the second-year students their final tactics lesson here." Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh!!" After Qin Ge said that, the audience below burst into enthusiastic applause. Whatever Qin Ge says here definitely isn't something ordinary.
Although they've already attended many, many tactics lessons, every time they listen to Qin Ge lecture they feel a sudden enlightenment.
So this time is the same—the applause is warm and full of passion.
Anshan beside him smiled helplessly, only able to let Qin Ge hold the microphone and continue speaking.
"The name of today's tactics lesson is 'team,' or rather 'unity.'"
After Qin Ge finished speaking, looking at the somewhat confused people below, he smiled and said, "Perhaps many of you don't understand what I mean by this sentence; what exactly does it mean? But now here I will explain it clearly for you."
"What is tactics? I believe many of you now understand it, but what does carrying out tactics rely on? Do you know?"
"From the start of school until now, I've lectured you on offensive tactics, defensive tactics, breakthrough tactics, anti-ship tactics, splitting tactics, and so on."
"But what is the most crucial factor in carrying out these tactics? Perhaps you've never considered it, right?"
The commanders below hearing these words inevitably fell into contemplation.
"Yes, tactics laid out there can be understood by anyone, but when putting them into practice, why do many people differ so much?"
Looking at these doubtful commanders, Qin Ge continued, "Then today I will tell you that, regardless of which tactic is carried out, the foremost requirement is discipline."
"I believe that after you give an order, your shipgirls will absolutely carry it out; this is the manifestation of shipgirl discipline."
"After graduating from the Commander Academy and leaving, what you will encounter is a Grand Fleet, or rather a team. Inside it will no longer be loose; it has its rules, it has its discipline, and it is precisely discipline and rules that form the core component of this Grand Fleet or this team."
"You must uphold the Grand Fleet's discipline without any conditions or objections, executing every order. Only then will each order be implemented and each tactic carried out."
"And it is precisely because of such discipline that an ironclad team can be formed, united in heart and direction, invincible in attack and undefeated in battle."
"If a team were to have several differing opinions, then that team would fall into confusion, stagnate in place, and even retreat leading to destruction..."
Qin Ge spoke for about ten-odd minutes before stopping, glancing at the somewhat helpless Anshan beside him and also at the few smiling instructors seated in the audience.
He unconsciously rubbed his nose, "Well, I almost got into the zone. Let's stop here; I hope you can combine the previous team match with the knowledge I just gave you to gain some insight."
"After all, defending Donghuang and resisting the Sirens is inherently not a one-person fight but a group effort."
After Qin Ge handed the microphone to Anshan, the audience below burst into enthusiastic applause. Anshan, watching this scene, couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you like it so much, I won't blame Instructor Qin Ge for taking up our stage time."
"So next up is the long-awaited challenge match segment, and this time the challenge match is led by the vice commander of the Star Sea Grand Fleet, the challenger commander."
"Hehe, the time to enjoy the show has arrived."
