Chapter 389: White Bear and Rabbit

Qin Ge picked up another Wisdom Cube and 600 units of supplies from under his feet, placed them into the Construction Device, and pressed the start button.

With the Construction Device's roar, a time appeared on its display.

00:40:00.

Qin Ge looked at this time and couldn't help scratching his head, because there was no such time in the shipgirl manual.

Could it be a high-ranking shipgirl from some faction? Qin Ge thought this way. Actually it's not strange for him to think so, because this had already happened several times before, so this time was naturally the same.

Thus Qin Ge, with anticipation, placed the Rapid Construction Tool into the Construction Device's slot and pressed the activation button.

In an instant, the Construction Device began to vibrate, and the time on its display instantly reset to zero; as the vibration gradually subsided, the device's hatch slowly opened, and a golden light accompanied by smoke appeared before Qin Ge and everyone else; seeing this, everyone couldn't help but perk up.

Only seeing the smoke gradually dissipate and the golden light gradually converge, a girl appeared before Qin Ge's eyes.

She had a head of purple long hair, wore a pair of bear-ear ear muffs on her head, and was dressed in thick cotton clothing, which was somewhat similar to the decorations of A Furore and Gangut.

Indeed, the girl opened her eyes, looked at Qin Ge before her, and said, "I am Ta Shi Gan; everyone calls Ta Shi Gan the 'azure-hued cruiser.' Are you also someone who admires and seeks out Ta Shi Gan, comrade-chan?"

"Comrade-chan?" Qin Ge froze for a moment, "Are you talking about me?"

"Exactly, aren't you and Ta Shi Gan sharing the same aspiration?" Ta Shi Gan stared wide-eyed at Qin Ge and asked.

Qin Ge then reacted, smiling and said, "Well, the nickname 'comrade-chan' is pretty good; also, I suppose I'm also someone who admires and seeks out Ta Shi Gan."

"Like that? Truly a helpless person." Although Ta Shi Gan spoke with a helpless tone of having no choice, Qin Ge could clearly see a hint of an excited smile on her face.

Qin Ge then reached out his hand and said to Ta Shi Gan, "Let me introduce myself; I am Qin Ge, and from now on I will be your commander. I hope to receive your guidance in our future life."

Ta Shi Gan glanced at Qin Ge's outstretched hand, then stepped forward and grasped it, saying, "Ta Shi Gan is the Northern Union's destroyer leader; there are three sister ships……"

Saying this, Ta Shi Gan paused for a moment, and Qin Ge, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"

Ta Shi Gan shook his head, "Nothing… because she was born in the Sardinian Empire and with this design, she is also called the azure-hued cruiser, even though she is a destroyer… Well, Ta Shi Gan doesn't dislike this name either. Ta Shi Gan will fight hard like she did at Sevastopol; comrade-chan, just look forward to it."

Qin Ge smiled and nodded; he naturally knew what Ta Shi Gan said. Because Ta Shi Gan is a destroyer leader ordered by the Northern Union Navy before WWII and built in the Sardinian Empire, and in the Northern Union's project procurement system, a total of four sister ships were ordered from the Sardinian Empire.

However, things went against expectations; because the Northern Union shipyard's actual shipbuilding struggled to adapt to the Sardinian Empire's second-round design drawings and expert opinions, and besides, there were other political considerations behind the scenes, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the construction plan for another three Ta Shi Gan-class destroyer leaders, Baku, and two other unnamed vessels.

Thus, Ta Shi Gan ended up having no sister ships.

Looking at the girl before him, Qin Ge smiled and patted her head, "Well, I will look forward to your activity. But before that, you should first get to know your fleet companions; from now on, you will be partners fighting side by side."

And I still have unfinished business here; once it's done, I'll bring you back to our dormitory together.

"Alright." Ta Shi Gan nodded, didn't mind Qin Ge patting her head, and then followed Qin Ge's guidance, walking toward the direction where Belfast and the others were.

Watching Ta Shi Gan's receding back, Qin Ge smiled and said, "It seems my fleet finally has a Northern Union faction member, but why have I still not been able to summon a Donghuang shipgirl up to now? Could it be because I am originally a Donghuang commander?"

Qin Ge smiled helplessly; counting Ta Shi Gan, he had already summoned three destroyers and two light cruisers, and compared to his plan of six, he was now only missing one.

Thus he again picked up a Wisdom Cube and 600 units of supplies, placed them before the Construction Device, and pressed the start button.

As the Construction Device began to rumble, a time started to flicker on its screen.

00:27:00.

Qin Ge looked at this time, nodded, as expected, this was another destroyer. He then picked up a Rapid Construction Tool, placed it into the Construction Device's slot, and pressed the activation button.

As the Construction Device rumbled, the time on its screen instantly cleared to zero; immediately after, the device's hatch began to slowly open, and a purple light accompanied by smoke seeped out, with a figure gradually emerging from the smoke.

After the smoke cleared completely, Qin Ge saw this shipgirl appearing in the Construction Device. She had a head of white long hair, and used a rabbit hair clip to tie her long hair into two twin tails.

She wore a pink nightgown-like garment, though the clothing was somewhat disheveled, her shoulders half-exposed; combined with her somewhat weary expression, the whole person appeared lazy and listless.

Just as Qin Ge was observing this shipgirl, she also opened her wine-red eyes and looked toward Qin Ge, and a soft, sweet voice came from her mouth.

"Benson-class destroyer Laffey awaits your orders……"

Qin Ge froze at the girl's voice, then involuntarily turned his head to look at the envoy of the eight major factions behind him on the other side. Seeing that the Free Iris envoy Triumph had no one beside him, he rolled his eyes, wearing an expression of "as expected."

Because the lazy voice and expression of the girl before him were very similar to those of the Vichy Tribunal's envoy, Evil.

When Qin Ge first saw Evil, he still thought she was a girl full of vigor. But indeed, over time, seeing hearts, and after getting along with Qin Ge for a while and seeing that he was a rather casual person, Evil stopped pretending.

When carrying out missions at sea together with Qin Ge, she would always lie on the command ship and sleep, basically entrusting the surveillance tasks of Free Iris and the Vichy Tribunal entirely to her younger sister, the Imagine-class Triumph.

"What is the commander looking at……?" Laffey asked somewhat doubtfully.

Qin Ge smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing; it's just that your appearance reminded me of someone. Also, welcome to my fleet, Laffey; I am Qin Ge, and from today onward I will be your commander. Please continue to guide me in the future."

Qin Ge said this and extended his right hand, while Laffey, seeing this, grasped Qin Ge's hand……
