Chapter 314: Calculations

Huh?

Soviet Russia's words left Qin Ge stunned for a moment. "What does it mean to not belong to any faction?"

However, at this moment, the senior officials of the other factions also understood. They all turned their gazes to Qin Ge, contemplating the feasibility of implementing this condition.

I think Soviet Russia's proposal is excellent; Iron Blood supports it. Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

But if Qin Ge Commander does not belong solely to the Donghuang faction, then which faction does he belong to? Zhende asked.

Isn't this simple? Don't you remember that our Nine Major Factions jointly organized something? Akagi said with a smile.

What are you saying? Are you trying to make me leave the Donghuang faction? Qin Ge said.

No, I mean you shouldn't belong to just one faction. This means Donghuang's stage is too small; for you, you should stand on a larger stage.

So I think you can become the commander of Azure Lane. That is, from now on you are the Donghuang faction's commander, but also the Sakura Empire's commander, the Northern Union's commander, the Royal faction's commander, and the White Eagle's commander.

You belong to any faction, yet not solely to any one faction; your existence belongs to Azure Lane, to our shared spirit of resistance. Soviet Russia said.

Qin Ge understood, and he quickly turned his gaze to Anshan. At that moment, Anshan smiled and shook her head, indicating to Qin Ge that she already knew about this situation.

I didn't expect Yixian sister to have guessed correctly; you faction leaders really don't want to suffer any loss at all. Anshan said with a smile to the others.

Trying to make Qin Ge leave the Donghuang faction is impossible. While you safeguard your own faction's interests, you want to turn him into a mere tool—do you think we would agree?

But Anshan, this is already the best solution. After all, for the cause of Azure Lane, each faction must sacrifice something. Soviet Russia said.

Sacrificing something, I understand—just like the Northern Union did this time. Anshan said with a smile, "But Qin Ge Commander is different; he is not an object, he is a person with his own wisdom and his own thoughts."

So making him break away from the faction and principles he originally loyal to—isn't that going too far?

For a moment, Soviet Russia fell silent, because indeed the condition she just stated was somewhat inappropriate; however, since Anshan had been smiling from start to finish, it indicated that some things could still be discussed.

Then what condition can Donghuang accept now? Our Nine Major Factions have already selected the finest students from the Commander Academy and determined the ultimate victor; we have actually already achieved our goal.

Therefore Qin Ge Commander is the most suitable person to become the commander of this Project Ship; I believe the other factions think the same. Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

What I said to the prince is also what I want to say; now facts have proven that Qin Ge Commander will become Azure Lane's aid in future resistance against the Sirens—what do you think, Donghuang? Washington said to Anshan.

This is beyond doubt; we Donghuang also hope for that, because Qin Ge Commander can summon a maritime legend never before seen in this world, which signifies his future mission. Anshan said.

However, Donghuang cannot accept treating Qin Ge Commander as a bargaining chip, but one thing is certain: Qin Ge Commander is indeed the only person currently suitable for the Project Ship's Wisdom Cube.

So why not have each of the other major factions send a person to follow Qin Ge Commander? This would not only protect his safety, preventing accidental sacrifice before he grows, but also constantly monitor his actions to safeguard your faction's interests.

What do you think of this method? Furthermore, if naval exercise data is to be researched and executed in Donghuang, then as soon as research results are available, your personnel can also be promptly informed.

Our Azure Lane faction's resource sharing is also quite good, I think.

"Send someone to follow Qin Ge Commander?" Obviously, Anshan's proposal put the senior leaders of all factions into contemplation.

Negotiation is inherently a give-and-take process, without having set the tone from the start. However, it seems that in this negotiation, everyone has settled on a fact.

That is, the ownership of this Project Ship by Qin Ge has become a premise, or rather, Qin Ge's existence is more important to them than the existence of the Project Ship itself.

When all factions fell into contemplation, unable to decide, Akagi, seated at the Sakura Empire's position, gave Qin Ge a meaningful glance, then smiled and said to everyone.

We Sakura Empire are willing to accept Donghuang's condition, although our senior Mikasa is currently serving at the Donghuang Commander Academy, but to show our Sakura Empire's emphasis.

I will personally go to Donghuang afterward and follow beside Qin Ge Commander.

Upon saying this, the senior leaders of the eight major factions all went dumbfounded, including the other members of the Sakura Empire faction.

"Senior Akagi, what are you saying? You want to personally go to Donghuang? Then what will happen to Sakura Empire?" Zuikaku, sitting behind Akagi, panicked and hurriedly said to Akagi.

However, Kaga and Xianghe, sitting beside her, showed no reaction. Kaga obviously knew why Akagi did this, while Xianghe kept squinting her eyes, and no one could guess what she was thinking.

The Sakura Empire's chief flagship commander Zhang Men is present here, and there are also several others skilled in management.

Moreover, if our 1st Carrier Division leaves, can your 5th Carrier Division not support Sakura Empire? Akagi turned her head, smiled, and said.

At this moment, her feeling toward Zuikaku was nothing like her previous senior; it was more like a wise person arranging aftermath.

"We…" Zuikaku was provoked by Akagi, about to respond, when her sister Xianghe grabbed her.

"Zuikaku, since the senior has made this choice, we should respect her decision. Don't talk too much and invite ridicule from the other factions; wait until after the meeting to speak." Xianghe said.

"Yes." Seeing her sister speak, Zuikaku finally calmed down and sat back down.

However, taking advantage of this moment, several people had thought of something and subsequently gave Akagi a meaningful look. But they could not match Akagi's resolve to voluntarily relinquish their faction's senior positions.

But since Akagi has now made this opening, the other factions will also have an excuse…
