Chapter 332: New Tactics Instructor

Just as Yue Ke Cheng said, they indeed came today to greet Qin Ge and his shipgirls.

After several people chatted casually for a few sentences, they no longer disturbed Qin Ge and his shipgirls, and left the reception house together.

In the following one or two days, Qin Ge did not assign any tasks to his shipgirls. Only on the third day after returning did he arrange for all the shipgirls to undergo training.

As for carrying out missions, there was no such arrangement in the short term. Because in a few days school would start, and moreover the Prince of Wales also brought the new tactics instructor to Qin Ge.

"Koln? How is it you?" Qin Ge looked surprised at the somewhat familiar shipgirl before him and asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, Commander Qin Ge, we meet again." Koln adjusted her glasses and said to Qin Ge.

"Aren't you from the Maritime Affairs Bureau? How did you transfer to the Commander Academy?" Qin Ge continued to ask.

Koln smiled but did not answer, turning her gaze to the Prince of Wales beside her. Indeed, the Prince of Wales answered Qin Ge's question for Koln: "It's like this: starting next semester, Koln will be your assistant, and she will learn from you how to teach the integrated tactics course well."

Hearing the Prince of Wales's answer, Qin Ge asked doubtfully, "Isn't it? Earlier, Mikasa-senpai said the tactics instructor would come from the Sakura Empire; why has it been changed to Koln now?"

The Prince of Wales rubbed his forehead, somewhat helplessly saying, "Originally it was arranged this way, and the arrangement was still the Sakura Empire's strategist, Shentong."

"But don't you know? This time you brought back the rulers of the Sakura Empire, and the new Sakura Empire union is governed by Xianghe and Zuikaku, so Shentong naturally couldn't come over; she had to stay to assist them."

So what can I do? Everything had already been settled, but then this change happened midway. Fortunately, Koln from the Maritime Affairs Bureau had previously done tactical planning for the bureau, so I borrowed her from Qinglong.

"Ah?" Qin Ge widened his eyes, looking at the Prince of Wales with some disbelief.

"He suddenly recalled that, when leaving the hotel, Shentong had said to him that very meaningful sentence."

"Originally we should have had a chance to cooperate, but circumstances forced us apart; I hope we can become friends in the future."

"Qin Ge at the time still thought it was cooperation with the Sakura Empire, after all Shentong was the successor to Xianghe and Zuikaku. But he hadn't expected that Shentong's true meaning was this; indeed, it really was circumstances forcing people."

""Well, actually changing to Koln isn't bad either; after all, she is a free shipgirl and not bound by faction like Shentong.""

Moreover, in her memory she is one of the tacticians; following you to take over as tactics instructor is also a good match professionally.

So you two should cooperate well, teach Koln the tactics you know, let her inherit your knowledge, and then continue to teach at the Commander Academy." said the Prince of Wales.

"Hehe, Dean's words are correct; back when I was at the Maritime Affairs Bureau, I often heard the commanders of the grand fleets say how formidable Commander Qin Ge's tactics are.

Moreover, I have read the two tactic manuals you compiled, and I also felt deeply moved. Having this opportunity, I am also very excited; so please give me your guidance in the future, Instructor Qin Ge." Koln smiled and said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge quickly waved his hands, "We just need to make progress together; no one is instructing anyone. So from now on, let's work together and improve together, Instructor Koln."

The two extended their right hands to each other, lightly shook, then smiled at each other, appearing quite harmonious.

"Seeing you like this, I can relax; the tactics course from now on will be entrusted to you two.

"However, since Commander Qin Ge needs to fulfill some missions this year, most of the time it will still be necessary for you, Koln, to teach; considering Qin Ge's previous situation, you will face some pressure here." the Prince of Wales smiled and said.

"It's fine; if Instructor Qin Ge doesn't mind, I hope to use this time to communicate with him as much as possible, to facilitate teaching the course after school starts." Koln said to the Prince of Wales, though she actually said this for Qin Ge to hear.

"Of course no problem; this period I also don't have much to do, so I have plenty of time to discuss the future tactics course with Instructor Koln." Qin Ge hurriedly said.

"Then let's do that; you two will specifically arrange and discuss the time, and Koln's room will be set up in the house you previously lived in—could this be considered another kind of inheritance?

Hehe, in short, that's how it is; afterwards the tactics course of the Commander Academy will be entrusted to you two." said the Prince of Wales.

"Don't worry, Dean." Qin Ge and Koln said in unison.

Afterwards the Prince of Wales left the reception house, but Koln did not leave, because the time until school started was not long, so she wanted to make the most of this period to discuss the tactic materials with Qin Ge as much as possible, in order to make sufficient preparations.

Moreover, Koln is very meticulous; she always has a notebook in hand. When the two discuss, she spreads out the notebook.

After Qin Ge spoke of the excellent and classic parts, Koln immediately took up her pen to record them, especially regarding coastal defense strategy and this point of defensive tactics; her pen never stopped.

"Actually, in defensive tactics there is a point that is very easy to overlook: that is a temporary sortie, also called a brief sortie." Qin Ge said to Koln.

"Brief sortie? Where to sortie? Where sortie? Instructor Qin Ge, could you give me a detailed introduction?" Koln asked while taking notes.

Qin Ge immediately drew a series of sketches on the paper in front of him, pointing at his own sketches and said to Koln, "When we are defending, we must face the enemy's full-line barrage; if our forces are insufficient, we basically cannot execute the split tactic.

But we cannot just stubbornly defend there and take hits passively, so we can look for points where the enemy's attack power is weak to break through.

For example, if the enemy's front has a destroyer flotilla, we can dispatch shipgirls with superior firepower over that destroyer flotilla to sortie directly and destroy that destroyer flotilla.

Then immediately withdraw; wouldn't the firepower at the destroyer flotilla's position be weaker than before? Then we would redeploy the originally dispatched shipgirls to both sides to apply superior firepower suppression, conducting dynamic defense.

Wouldn't this give us an advantage in defense and also tear open one of the enemy's firepower points? And then……

Koln nodded continuously as Qin Ge described, earnestly and patiently recording every word he said.

At this moment she suddenly realized that her previous estimate of the man before her had been too conservative; only after discussing strategy and tactics up close did she know how erudite this man is……
