Chapter 212

If we discuss the battleships that appeared in World War II, there are two that are inevitably brought up. One is the Great Harmony battleship, representing the end of the era of big-gun warships, and the other is the eternal legend before us, the Bisimai battleship.

Moreover, even the Great Harmony hasn't, like the Bisimai, remained a topic of heated discussion decades after its sinking, let alone the Bisimai's short life, which eventually spread as a legendary story among enthusiasts, almost making people forget that it was a battleship of the **Empire at that time.

While studying at the then Naval Command Academy, Qin Ge, during his research on World War II battleships, the Rhine Exercise and the pursuit of the Bisimai were campaigns that took up a large portion of the material.

Someone at the time joked, saying that if there were no Bisimai, then as the Allied Royal Navy, her combat record would certainly be lacking a large part.

As a naval officer, how could Qin Ge possibly refuse a historic warship and big-gun artillery?

Moreover, especially in this world, the previous division between Allies and Axis no longer exists; all warships are striving, fighting for humanity's survival.

As Qin Ge, who is about to possess the warship he dreams of liking, how could he not be excited?

Thus Qin Ge solemnly tidied his clothes, took a step forward, and extended his right hand toward the Bisimai, saying, "Hello, Bisimai, I am Qin Ge. From today onward, I am your commander. In future battles and in life, please guide me."

Seeing Qin Ge before her, excited yet managing to suppress his emotions and treating her very formally, the Bisimai unconsciously nodded. It seemed that her future commander unexpectedly matched her temperament quite well.

Thus the Bisimai extended her right hand, grasped Qin Ge's hand, and said, "Hello, Commander, I also have high expectations of you."

After shaking hands briefly, they naturally let go. Qin Ge then said to the Bisimai, "Let me introduce you to everyone in the fleet. I'm sure with your addition, everyone will be very happy."

Bisimai nodded and said, "Are they future comrades who will fight side by side? If so, we must meet."

Immediately, Bisimai and Qin Ge walked toward the rear, and the first ones they encountered were Yixian and the Prince of Wales.

"Congratulations, Qin Ge, it seems your Fleet now has another faction flagship, making two in total—this is truly a miracle!" Yixian smiled and said to Qin Ge.

"Thank you, Commander." Qin Ge said to Yixian, then turned to Bisimai beside him and said, "This is Yixian, the Commander of the Donghuang faction I belong to, and this is the Dean of the Commander Academy I am currently in, the Prince of Wales."

Bisimai extended her hand to Yixian, saying, "Iron Blood flagship, Bisimai."

Yixian also grasped Bisimai's hand and solemnly said, "Donghuang First Fleet flagship, Yixian."

After the two nodded slightly and each released their grip, Bisimai then turned her head toward the Prince of Wales beside her, with a hint of memory, and said to the Prince of Wales.

"In Memory, there seem to be some unhappy things, but now I have been reborn, and I hope we will strive together for the same goal in the future."

The Prince of Wales smiled and nodded, "Indeed, but after all this is just In Memory; we are not now repeating the things in In Memory. I look forward to us striving together in the future to protect Azure Lane and protect humanity."

Bisimai nodded and said to the Prince of Wales, "It will definitely happen."

After greeting Yixian and the Prince of Wales, Qin Ge continued to lead Bisimai toward his shipgirls. The person standing at the front of his shipgirls was Ou Gen Qin Wang, who looked at the approaching Bisimai with joy in her eyes.

"EisenundBlutuberalles!"

This was the first sentence Ou Gen Qin Wang spoke to Bisimai; after Ou Gen Qin Wang said this, Bisimai likewise solemnly said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "EisenundBlutuberalles!"

"GutenTag, I'm very happy to see you again, Bisimai." Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled and said to Bisimai.

"Ou Gen, I'm also very happy to see you again." Bisimai said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, though her expression remained stern, showing no joy at all.

"You still look the same as before, but being able to cooperate with you again and serve in the same Fleet is truly wonderful." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed and said.

"Likewise." Bisimai nodded to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "This time, don't run far."

"Naturally." Ou Gen Qin Wang laughed, and glanced at Qin Ge, "With the commander here, I think I won't be able to run too far."

Qin Ge heard Ou Gen Qin Wang's words and smiled slightly. At that moment, a figure stepped out from behind Ou Gen Qin Wang—it was precisely the U96 that Qin Ge had just summoned.

U96 gave a salute to Bisimai, saying, "Bisimai, big sis, hello!"

Bisimai nodded at U96 and said, "U96, I didn't expect you to be here too."

"Yes, just before the commander summoned Bisimai big sis, you summoned me out; being able to fight side by side with Bisimai big sis in the future is truly wonderful!" U96 said to Bisimai.

"I likewise look forward to fighting alongside you, and we will surely achieve victory, for no one can halt the Iron Blood's advance." Bisimai said firmly to U96.

"Yes!" U96 immediately stood at attention, smiling, and gave a salute to Bisimai.

Looking at the scene of reunion, Qin Ge suddenly felt there was no need for him to stay here. Meanwhile, Ou Gen Qin Wang seemed to have noticed Qin Ge's embarrassment, and smiled at him, saying, "Commander, you still have several shipgirls that need to be built, don't you?"

"I'm here, that's enough. I'll tell Bisimai about our Fleet's situation; you go attend to your business."

And Ou Gen Qin Wang's words were nothing short of salvation or relief for Qin Ge; he immediately became serious and said to Ou Gen Qin Wang, "Then I'll leave this to you, Ou Gen Qin Wang; I'll go first to summon our future Fleet companions."

"Mm." Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded, watching Qin Ge turn around and head toward the Construction Device, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems the commander still places great importance on your arrival, Bisimai."

"I believe I have the ability and am worthy of his expectations." Bisimai said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"Indeed, then next I'll first bring you to get to know our Fleet's companions, because our Fleet isn't just our Iron Blood, but also some shipgirls from other factions." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"Then I'll trouble you, Ou Gen Qin Wang." Bisimai looked at the others and said to Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"No problem."
