Chapter 341: The Strong and the Weak United

Just as Qin Ge had said, his words seemed to be heard by all the commanders; in the first class of the semester, nobody slacked off, and everyone listened attentively to his lecture.

From time to time, someone would raise their hand under their seat, and with Qin Ge's nod, stand up to ask about something they didn't understand.

These questions were all answered one by one under Qin Ge's explanations, allowing everyone present who listened to this lesson to gain something.

As for the envoys sent from the eight factions, they finally understood why Donghuang had achieved a decent result in last year's Siren Tide.

After seeing Qin Ge and Koln walk out side by side once the class ended, the envoys of the eight factions exchanged glances, all stood up, and followed them out together.

"Qin Ge Commander." The first to speak was Ge Naisennao; she, upon hearing the call, turned to Qin Ge and said, "Commander Qin Ge, could I record what you taught in this class and take it back to Iron Blood?"

Qin Ge blinked, "Isn't this your freedom?"

Ge Naisennao shook her head, "Although I could refrain from telling you, I must respect this knowledge and respect your achievements. So I think I should inform you beforehand and obtain your consent before doing these things."

Qin Ge smiled, "That's fine as long as you volunteer; I don't mind. If you think what I taught in this class would help the Iron Blood commanders, then I'd be happy for you to take it back."

"Then I'll thank Commander Qin Ge on behalf of the Iron Blood commanders for this gift," Ge Naisennao said with a smile.

"What are you planning to do next, Commander Qin Ge? Since you're already a second-year student, you probably don't need to attend the upcoming battleship course, right?" Yue Ke Cheng asked with a smile.

"Yes." Qin Ge nodded, "I've already told the deputy commander of our Heavy Equipment Team; later I'll have him bring the fleet members to the training area to prepare for comprehensive fleet training."

"Comprehensive training? I don't know if we have the honor to observe," Hao's eyes lit up. Although she had heard from her sister that Qin Ge's tactics were formidable, she had never seen them in person, so this would satisfy some of her wishes.

"Of course, if you're interested, you can come with me to the training field." Qin Ge did not refuse, because although the training field is said to be open to workers, it is also an unguarded area, so anyone who wants to observe can.

It's certainly no problem for the envoys of the eight factions to come; they can learn something, which is also what Qin Ge hopes for. After all, they are shipgirls; even if internal conflict occurs later, it would be conflict among shipgirls of the factions, not involving humans.

And if no internal conflict occurs, they will promote these things within their own factions, thereby achieving greater effectiveness in fighting the Sirens.

Qin Ge is not stingy, nor does he worry that if others learn his tactics they'll surpass him, because fighting the Sirens is absolutely not just one person's matter but a collective effort.

The more excellent commanders there are, the greater the threat they pose to the Sirens, allowing him to delve deeper into what secrets the Sirens actually hold.

Recalling the spatial transmission, laser technology, and energy shield technology he had seen in the Sakura Empire, Qin Ge absolutely would not believe that his arrival in this world is unrelated to the Sirens.

Thus, the group walked together toward the training field, while Koln, who followed Qin Ge, observed the shipgirls from other factions up close, letting her confirm her earlier suspicions.

But she knew what could be said and what could not, so she did not draw attention to herself at this moment; instead, she fell into step behind Qin Ge and those shipgirls.

"By the way, I haven't asked Commander Qin Ge what his Grand Fleet is like—how many members does it have now? And which people in today's Grand Lecture Hall are members of your Grand Fleet?" Gan Gute asked.

"My Grand Fleet is called the Star Sea Grand Fleet; it currently has about ten or so members, basically recent graduates who are second-year students this year and commanders from my same cohort."

"Huh? So you mean all the members of your Grand Fleet are students? If they're inexperienced in combat, aren't you worried about their fighting ability?" Fanji asked in surprise, and even Akagi and Kaga showed puzzled expressions.

Especially Kaga, who has always believed in the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—now Qin Ge has actually formed a Grand Fleet where he is the only strong one and everyone else is weak, which baffles her greatly.

According to her thinking, someone as powerful as Qin Ge should command a fleet entirely made up of elites, so as to highlight his strength and maximize the Grand Fleet's overall power.

Seeing the others' doubtful expressions, Qin Ge smiled and explained his idea: "Don't you think these commanders who have just left the Commander Academy are the most malleable?"

"Malleability?" Kaga wondered.

"Hmm." Qin Ge nodded, "They are like uncut jade, untouched by any carving or stain; their thoughts are purest, and compared to interests, they value honor and dreams more."

Don't you think these are more precious compared to commanders who have been mingling on the battlefield for many years?

"I think I understand Commander Qin Ge's meaning," Aisaikesi said. "He wants to use his knowledge and tactics to arm these commanders who have never experienced combat into the form he desires."

This will make future command more convenient; although they now appear weak, any strength is accumulated over time.

Commander Qin Ge is young now, and his Grand Fleet members are also young; they have limitless futures, and no one can imagine how strong their combat power and execution will be when this Grand Fleet takes shape.

Therefore, rather than pouring energy into a group of already-formed elites, it's better to train our own elites—elites with exceptionally strong execution ability and seamless coordination.

The gazes of the shipgirls from the eight factions all turned toward Qin Ge; actually, even without Aisaikesi's explanation, they could have understood his meaning, but with her explanation, this realization became more intuitive.

"What a bold idea—although the outcome seems to invite endless imagination, to train such a powerful fleet requires more than just time; it also needs material supplies, logistics, and so on..." Sha Enhuosite looked at Qin Ge and said.
