Chapter 286
After Qin Ge finished briefing his own shipgirls, he brought Tiancheng and Xinong to the hotel entrance, met up with Mikasa who was waiting there, and then together they went to the place Akagi had mentioned earlier.
On the way to the harbor, several people clearly sensed that something was off around them. Everyone's face showed the look of an imminent great enemy, appearing very solemn.
Moreover, the shops had closed their doors, and the street looked very deserted. So they did not delay, quickly heading to the place Akagi had said.
When they arrived at the harbor, they found that many people were already waiting there.
Moreover, most of the crowd were shipgirls, with only a few humans; looking at their shoulder insignia, they were all vice admiral and admiral level figures.
Qin Ge could also guess that they were probably personnel from the Sakura Empire Command.
Obviously, Qin Ge's arrival also surprised those few human high-ranking officers. Because they could see from his cap badge that this commander clearly belonged to Donghuang, and his rank was only a lieutenant commander, how could he possibly run to the front line of this battlefield?
Thus, just as one person was about to go forward to tell Qin Ge to leave, they unexpectedly discovered that Akagi, Kaga, as well as Xianghe and Zuikaku all came forward to meet them.
"Could trouble these few to go out, that commander should be the representative Donghuang sent this time, right?" one of the Sakura Empire high-ranking officials said.
"But according to their tempers, might an uncontrollable situation arise?"
"It has nothing to do with us; we came this time merely to record data."
"That's also true."
Just as several Sakura Empire high-ranking officers were muttering, a surprising scene appeared.
Only see those few people in their mouths actually speaking pleasantly with Qin Ge, without any of their usual harshness...
"Big sister, you've come." Akagi said to him.
"How could I not come? I also want to see what kind of strength that Siren advanced humanoid actually has." Tiancheng said with a smile.
"We should be able to see them soon; according to the front line Jin Gang's report, they are already heading toward the Sakura Empire home islands." Kaga said.
"But I wonder, why did Commander Qin Ge also come?" Zuikaku asked curiously, "Wasn't it only that Akagi senior summoned Mikasa senior, as well as Xinong and Tiancheng seniors?"
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Tiancheng and Xinong are my shipgirls; how could there be a shipgirl participating in battle while the commander does not? So I came as well."
"Hehe, perhaps later there will indeed be a place where Commander Qin Ge's help is needed, but before that, please Commander Qin Ge stay at our main position for now." Akagi said with a smile.
"Of course." Qin Ge nodded and said.
After they talked for a while, they began walking toward the front main position. Meanwhile, Zhang Men stood there at the main position, with Lu Ao and Fu Sang Shan Cheng standing beside him.
The figures of Qin Ge and the others arriving were seen by Zhang Men and the others, but just as they were about to speak, a black-haired girl with dog ears ran over quickly.
The shipgirl said, "Zhang Men adult, enemy position discovered."
Zhang Men asked, "En, Shi Yu, you have worked hard; how far is the enemy from our main position?"
The shipgirl called Shi Yu said to Zhang Men, "About twenty minutes to get there."
Zhang Men nodded to Shi Yu, then turned his head to Qin Ge and the others who had come to his side, saying, "Originally this was our Sakura Empire's own war, but we also need to trouble several of you to help, which is truly embarrassing."
"It's fine, Zhang Men adult; we are also Sakura Empire shipgirls, though we are now following our lord." Tiancheng smiled and said.
"Moreover, this time it is also because of us that the Sakura Empire suffered the Siren impact; therefore, both emotionally and logically, we should also lend a hand." Tiancheng said with a smile.
Zhang Men nodded, then looked toward Mikasa, saying, "Please, Mikasa senior, look forward to my struggle."
"No, this time we should fight side by side." Mikasa said.
"Yes." Zhang Men's face showed a happy expression, thus he turned his head and spoke to the shipgirls around him, "As the flagship of the Sakura Empire United Fleet, I order: United Fleet, sortie!"
"Yes!"
The thunderous sound came from the harbor; every Sakura Empire shipgirl showed great excitement. Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Ge also clearly saw the shipgirls gathered here.
Besides Zhang Men, Lu Ao, Fu Sang Shan Cheng four battleships, there is also the Ji Yi class battleship Ji Yi.
In the heavy cruiser aspect, there are the Gu Ying class heavy cruisers Gu Ying and Jia Gu; the Qing Ye class heavy cruisers Qing Ye and Yi Li; as well as the Zui Shang class Zui Shang, San Wai, Ling Gu and Xiong Ye; furthermore the Gao Xiong class Gao Xiong, Ai Dang, Mo Ye; there is no Hai Hai seen.
In the light cruiser aspect, there are the Chang Liang class light cruisers Chang Liang, Wu Shi Ling, You Liang, Gui Nu and A Wu Wai; furthermore the Chuan Nei class light cruisers Chuan Nei, Shen Tong and Na Ke; as well as the Agano class light cruisers Agano and Nengdai.
In the destroyer aspect, there are the Shen Feng class destroyers, the Muyue class destroyers, the Chuan Xue class destroyers, the Xiao class destroyers, the Chu Chun class destroyers, the Bai Lu class destroyers, the Zhao Chao class destroyers, the Yang Yan class destroyers, the Xi Yun class destroyers, and the Qiu Yue class destroyers.
Qin Ge also discovered a problem: that most of the Sakura Empire destroyers are little girls. Moreover, they are not like the middle-schooler appearance of Biaoqiang, but are all like elementary school or kindergarten appearance.
As for carriers, the First Carrier Division, Second Carrier Division, and 5th Carrier Division naturally need no further mention; there are also Feng Xiang, Long Xiang, Long Feng, Xiang Feng, Fei Ying, Sun Ying, Qian Sui, Qian Dai Tian, a series of light aircraft carriers.
Moreover, not far below the dock, several submarines are ready at any time; when Qin Ge looked over, he found there were seven submarines in total, namely I-19, I-25, I-26, I-56, I-58, I-168 and I-13.
Seeing so many shipgirls, Qin Ge couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, the Sakura Empire's naval power is still very strong, worthy of being able to go head-to-head with the White Eagle back then.
Compared to Donghuang at this moment, Donghuang's side is somewhat stretched thin. Fortunately, we are now in this world; even Donghuang's awakened shipgirls in the fleet are in no way inferior to those of the Sakura Empire.
With Zhang Men's order given, the shipgirls hurriedly headed to the pier and leapt into the sea one after another. Streaks of blue light flashed, and their Ship Equipment appeared on them, then swiftly glided across the water as they formed their battle formation.
After watching the shipgirls leap into the sea, Zhang Men turned to Akagi beside her and said, "Akagi, lend me your strength!"
Akagi smiled and nodded, "Lady Zhang Men, it is an honor for Akagi."
"Well then, let's set off!" Zhang Men nodded, and together with her sister and a few others nearby, she headed toward the pier.
As for Qin Ge, he, together with Tiancheng and Xinong, boarded the already-prepared Command Ship under Kaga's leadership.
The smoke of war had already begun to spread across the sea...
