Chapter 244: Chatting During Mealtime

When everyone had finished cooking the meal, the sky had already grown dark, and at that moment Akagi, Kaga, and Tiancheng also walked out of the room; seeing the smiles on their faces, it seemed that the few people inside had been chatting happily.

"It looks like you're chatting happily; since that's the case, why not have a meal together here today? It's been a long time since we've eaten together." Mikasa said to Akagi and Kaga.

Akagi and Kaga naturally wanted to spend more time with their sister, so they readily agreed.

Moreover, they had just learned some things about Qin Ge from their sister. Both of them also developed a strong interest in this miraculous commander and wanted to communicate with him.

With everyone's help, several dining tables were pushed together to form a long table, and everyone sat around it, eating while chatting.

"Qin Ge commander, although I already learned some information about you from Zuikaku earlier, and just now learned some more from Amagi Elder Sister, but thinking about it now, it's really surprising. Are you really a first-year commander?" Akagi asked Qin Ge.

Qin Ge raised his head, glanced at the smiling Tiancheng, nodded at Akagi and said, "That's right; I have indeed been involved with shipgirls from the start until now, which is only one year."

"But how is it that in just one year you've developed your fleet to this state? Although I heard you work as an instructor in Donghuang, and some grand fleet commanders even pay to attend your lectures, that income wouldn't be enough to support forming such a fleet. Moreover, I see that your shipgirls are basically the main vessels of each major faction, as well as a very powerful batch of shipgirls. So I want to ask: up to now, what cost have you used to summon the shipgirls?" Akagi asked Qin Ge, while Kaga beside her also raised her head and looked toward Qin Ge.

Qin Ge looked at his shipgirls and smiled slightly, "Actually, summoning them hasn't cost much; from when I began summoning shipgirls until now, I should have failed only once."

"Also, Guanghui wasn't summoned by me; she joined my fleet as a free shipgirl. Si Peng Si also joined my fleet as a shipgirl who awoke on her own at sea."

"Huh?" Upon hearing that answer, Akagi and Kaga couldn't help exclaiming, "Only failed once? So does that mean that normally, when one wants to summon a shipgirl, one just needs to perform a normal summoning and the shipgirl appears?"

So I want to ask, up to now, how much cost have you used to summon the shipgirls? Akagi asked Qin Ge, while Kaga beside also lifted their head, looking toward Qin Ge.

Beside them, Mikasa, seeing the surprised Akagi and Kaga, smiled and said, "Doesn't it feel surprising? Such luck probably doesn't exist in the world."

"Even White Eagle's current supreme commander Enterprise, and our Sakura Empire's luckiest lucky ship Snow Wind, aren't that fortunate."

Akagi looked at Qin Ge, narrowed her eyes, nodded at Mikasa's earlier words, and said, "I think this isn't luck anymore, but a certain kind of factual inevitability.

That is to say, whenever Commander Qin Ge puts in a Wisdom Cube and supplies, a shipgirl will inevitably be summoned. valley

"But why do you only have twenty-one shipgirls now? With such fortune, why not build more shipgirls? That would greatly increase your strength, wouldn't it?" Kaga asked in a low voice.

Qin Ge shook his head, "In my view, shipgirls aren't better the more there are; they must match the fleet's development prospects and short- and long-term development plans.

"Because each shipgirl, from being summoned to truly forming combat capability, goes through a relatively long process. Moreover, the ship equipment needed to equip them, as well as the resources required, are also relatively large.

"That's why I currently only have these shipgirls; it's based on what my fleet can bear."

"So you're adopting an elite-style cultivation method?" Kaga said.

"As one of the rulers of the Sakura Empire, I naturally have a lot of contact with the commanders below and the Sakura Empire's high echelons. I have a general understanding of the popular cultivation methods among commanders, so when Kaga said this, she was quite certain."

"It can't be considered an elite-style cultivation method, but rather a tiered cultivation method; when training new shipgirls, the previous shipgirls have already formed sufficient combat capability, allowing continuous nurturing, and also ensuring sufficient combat capability during major wars." Qin Ge explained.

"Heh, the academy's model?" Kaga nodded, "But nowadays, commanders like you who can restrain themselves in the face of such great fortune are already very few."

"However, I'm more curious about one thing: earlier we also read the data from when Donghuang faced the Siren Tide last year, so I wonder exactly what you did, how you arranged those tactics to greatly reduce the loss rate of the entire Donghuang?" Akagi said to Qin Ge.

"It's very simple," when saying this, Qin Ge's eyes flashed with brilliant light, just like when he stands on the podium.

"Because my course is open to all grand fleet commanders and vice commanders of Donghuang. Therefore, the tactics I lecture are directly executed by the high echelons of the grand fleet, so they won't involve some decision‑level problems.

"And as long as the commanders and vice commanders properly plan the tactics and arrange the strategy for the entire region, a strong chemical reaction will naturally arise.

"Especially for a period of time, what we learned in class was how to balance defense and timely offense, grasping the initiative of the battlefield in our own hands.

"Furthermore, we emphasize air superiority and emphasize collecting battlefield intelligence, ensuring the information we obtain is firsthand. Only then can we precisely issue instructions to other grand fleet personnel, thereby enabling precise real‑time defensive counter‑offensive strategies."

This reasoned, evidence‑based analysis made Akagi and Kaga nod involuntarily; they are both veteran battlefield personnel and also high‑level members of the Sakura Empire. Naturally they know that the success or failure of upper‑level decisions affects the course of a battle.

Moreover, in my memory, as the elder sister Tiancheng often reminds them, information is the key point of victory or defeat on the battlefield. But although saying this is easy, actually implementing it is very difficult.

Precisely because of this, countless factions cannot ensure the unity of all grand fleet decisions, nor the execution of orders by grand fleet members.

But at this moment, right before this radiant figure before them, he effortlessly achieved what all factions dream of, making them regard Qin Ge even more……

A well-founded analysis made them instinctively nod at Akagi and Kaga; they were both seasoned battlefield veterans and high-ranking members of the Sakura Empire, naturally knowing that the success or failure of the upper echelon's decisions determines the course of a battle.

Moreover, in her own In Memory, as the elder sister Tiancheng, she often reminded them that intelligence is the key point of victory or defeat on the battlefield; but saying these things is easy, actually implementing them is very difficult.

It is precisely because of this that countless factions cannot ensure the unity of all Grand Fleet decisions, nor the Grand Fleet members' execution of orders.

But at this moment, right before this spirited individual, they effortlessly achieved what all factions dream of, making them value Qin Ge even more……
