Chapter 275: Ou Gen Qin Wang's Problem

Qin Ge shook his head, "As for being able to summon the flagships of two major factions, I actually don't know why."

Because, from the time of my first summoning, the Prince of Wales Dean has been right by my side, and she handed me the Wisdom Cube; that time I summoned my initial ship.

Nengdai and Banrenma."

Upon hearing the names of these two shipgirls, everyone from the three major factions turned their gaze toward the Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales naturally nodded, "That's right, Qin Ge is someone I recruited into the Academy, and I was present when he summoned his first shipgirl."

Actually, he originally just wanted to summon one shipgirl, but on his first summoning a Super Rare Shipgirl appeared, so I wondered whether his second attempt would also be able to produce one?

So, I used my personal supplies to exchange for his second shipgirl summon; as you can see, his second summon also succeeded, and it was a Super Rare aircraft carrier.

Moreover, up to now, he has summoned shipgirls a total of twenty times, failing only once."

"Tsk!"

"How is that possible?"

"His luck is just too good!"

"..."

When the Prince of Wales recounted Qin Ge's glorious achievements, the people from the three major factions were almost all shocked. Could it be that their factions lack a Euro Emperor? They do! But they certainly don't have anyone as extravagant as Qin Ge.

"I think there must be some problem; this can't be explained by just good luck," Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

"I feel it's more like fate," Hood said, looking at Qin Ge softly.

"Yes, it's fate," Littorio said.

"Since Qin Ge's commander is so lucky, why doesn't he summon more shipgirls?" Ou Gen Qin Wang asked.

"I'll answer this question," Bisimai said to Ou Gen Qin Wang of the Iron Blood, "My commander's method is an elite cultivation approach, and the number of shipgirls he summons is tied to the supplies he possesses.

That is, each shipgirl he summons retains supplies for her training, unlike other commanders who focus on numbers.

That's why, up to now, our fleet has only 21 people."

"An elite cultivation method?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "So is Qin Ge's commander preparing to, upon leaving the Academy, let his shipgirls form strong combat power and thus go farther?"

Qin Ge gave a slight smile, "I am already the commander of a grand fleet, and my goal is the front line."

Although it's impossible to reach the front line immediately after graduation, we have already prepared. Moreover, my shipgirls all strongly support me; I believe the front line will surely be the stage where they can show their prowess.

"The front line that makes every commander change color, in Qin Ge's commander's case, has become a necessary goal. Truly courageous," George V said with a smile, "If we could have more commanders like you, what worry would there be about not being able to drive the Sirens out of the ocean?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "No, I don't think so. Although the front line needs a strong commander, the rear likewise needs strong coastal defense."

Our position is merely a division of labor; if all commanders swarmed to the front line, the front line would very likely become a true meat grinder.

It certainly won't be like now, with the front line and rear both orderly. It can only be said that, because my ability is relatively strong, I have set my goal farther away.

Upon Qin Ge saying that, people from several factions nodded in agreement, especially George V, who praised Qin Ge greatly.

Although Qin Ge refuted her viewpoint, it is clear that Qin Ge's reasoning is more sound and evidence-based, and also better reflects the current situation of each faction.

"In Qin Ge's commander's studies over this year, how much do you know about the Sirens? What do you think their purpose is?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said with a smile.

Qin Ge hesitated for a moment, "Wait, Lord Ou Gen Qin Wang, are you asking for my view on the Sirens?"

"Yes, I think that a commander who can earn such praise from my sister ship and Bisimai must certainly have an unexpected explanation," Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

Qin Ge helplessly glanced at the shipgirls beside him; seeing his gaze sweep over them, they all smiled and nodded.

Seeing his shipgirls' encouragement, Qin Ge said to the senior officials of several factions, "Actually, based on the situation I currently grasp, I can only regard the Sirens as a very powerful force, and that humanity and shipgirls can withstand opposing them is a truly remarkable feat.

However, taking the overall situation into account and adding some of my speculations, I have arrived at an idea that is not very certain or practical."

"Huh? What idea?" Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

Qin Ge said, "Actually, I feel the Sirens do not intend to annihilate humanity, or rather they have no intention of a decisive battle; indeed, they might merely want to treat the ocean as a training ground."

"Oh? Interesting, can Qin Ge's commander elaborate a bit more?" After the senior officials of several major factions exchanged glances, Hood smiled and said to Qin Ge,

"Actually, this situation is very easy to see, because the current state of the ocean is that the Sirens are absolutely strong while we are absolutely weak.

According to the information I understand, corroded sea areas of level 6 and above are currently regions where humans and shipgirls find it very difficult to move freely, let alone level 7 corroded sea areas.

What exactly exists there, we don't know. Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Sirens hold an absolute advantage.

And if I were a Siren commander with such absolute advantage, it would be impossible to launch a full-line offensive as we do now, sending meaningless cannon fodder to die.

Instead, one would choose to hold back other factions, launch a main attack on a single faction to annihilate it directly, then proceed with point-to-point, line-to-line offensives.

Although it appears that the Nine Major Factions are deployed on the front line with many forces, if faced with the Sirens' collective offensive, I believe you would not hold out long, for this is a fact.

Maintaining the current situation is already a rare thing; wanting to further expand the gains is extremely difficult.

So why wouldn't the Sirens do that? Instead, they send out group after group of cannon fodder fleets to the front line and near sea, letting the shipgirls destroy them and become stronger.

What exactly are they planning? What benefit do the Sirens gain after the shipgirls become stronger?

Perhaps the only explanation is that the Sirens are like a guiding instructor, while the shipgirls and commanders are like students facing an exam.

The Sirens continually dispatching fleets is equivalent to a teacher constantly giving students homework and problems; after the students solve these problems, their knowledge points become ever broader and their strength ever stronger.

All of this ultimately has just one purpose: passing the exam. But, for the Sirens and the shipgirls, what is this exam?"
