Chapter 512

Commander, today's emails are all here; I've placed them for you.

In the morning, Hai Tian indeed arrived punctually, taking up the duties of the Secretary Ship. Because I had done the preparations yesterday, today everything was in good order, which also put Qin Ge at ease.

However, not long after starting work, a knocking sound occurred.

Qin Ge naturally didn't raise his head, continuing with his work, since Hai Tian was in the office and would handle these things.

Just as Qin Ge had expected, Hai Tian walked over and opened the door, but the two people standing outside made Hai Tian feel very surprised.

"Miss Bismarck and Emperor Frederick? Hello." Hai Tian greeted the two.

Facing these two from Iron Blood, Hai Tian felt a pressure weighing on her, but she still maintained a normal expression.

"Hmm, Miss Hai Tian, is the Commander inside?" Bisimai asked, nodding.

"Yes, the Commander is currently handling emails. May I ask if Miss Bismarck has any urgent matters?" Hai Tian asked.

"Yes, these matters need to be told to the Commander in person, so it's a bother." Bisimai said.

"Alright, please come in." Hai Tian led Bisimai and Emperor Frederick into the office.

Upon entering the office, the two saw Qin Ge sitting at his desk working. At this moment, Qin Ge raised his head, looking somewhat surprised at Bisimai and Emperor Frederick before him.

"Bisimai, Emperor Frederick, good morning. Are you here for a visit?" Although surprised, Qin Ge was still generous with his greetings when the time came.

"Good morning, my child." Emperor Frederick smiled and said to Qin Ge.

However, Bisimai beside him got straight to the point, saying, "Commander, we came today because of that plan we discussed on the ship earlier; now Frederick has been summoned, so from now on we should organize our entire fleet."

Qin Ge didn't think much of it, saying, "Organize the fleet? Actually I've been thinking about that these past few days, but I currently have no clue; do you have any good suggestions?"

"In terms of domestic affairs, Frederick has more experience than I do, so I specially brought her here today." Bisimai said.

"Oh?" Qin Ge looked surprised at Emperor Frederick, "Emperor Frederick, do you have any suggestions?"

"Of course, my child." In Emperor Frederick's dark golden pupils, a different light flickered as he said to Qin Ge, "My child, do you not feel that you have to think about a lot every day, concerning the fleet's planning, concerning the fleet's future."

Even how to get along with the Nine Major Factions in the future, how to lead those commanders who follow you forward.

How to face the Sirens, whose strength is far greater than ours now, how to count as victory? How to achieve one's purpose?

Moreover, one must carefully consider daily interactions with the fleet's shipgirls, unwilling to be indifferent to any faction, right?

Qin Ge stared for a moment, looking into Emperor Frederick's gaze that met his own, and involuntarily nodded.

"What you said is correct; our current strength is not strong, so there are many things to consider."

"Wrong, my child." Emperor Frederick shook his head and said.

"Huh?" Qin Ge wondered, "Why?"

Emperor Frederick smiled and said, "Perhaps my child excels greatly in tactics and strategy, etc., but is still lacking in command."

"It's just like the difference between a general and an emperor; although my child, you are an excellent general, but now you are not a qualified emperor."

"I never thought of becoming an emperor." Qin Ge said to Emperor Frederick, "I just want to move forward with everyone, and never thought of dominating one side."

"So you were wrong from the start in your thinking; actually our Fleet is already very strong." Emperor Frederick said to Qin Ge, "It's just that my child, you haven't fully displayed our Fleet's strength, and the reason those Grand Fleet commanders are progressing so slowly is also due to your decision-making problems."

"Then, I ask you here: are you willing to let our Fleet display its greatest strength? Are you willing to let the whole world revolve around us? Are you willing to become the king of this world?"

Qin Ge looked at the still-smiling Emperor Frederick before him, slowly stood up, walked to the windowsill, looked at the distant shipgirls still training, took a deep breath, and softly asked, "Can I?"

Emperor Frederick's smile grew even more radiant; he then slowly walked to Qin Ge's side, opened his arms and embraced Qin Ge in his chest, saying, "My child, whatever you want, I can help you obtain it."

Qin Ge's body became somewhat tense from the sudden embrace, but upon hearing Emperor Frederick's demonic whisper, he gradually relaxed.

Turning around, facing the Emperor Frederick who was a bit taller than him, he said, "What should I do?"

"Hehe, my child, don't rush." Emperor Frederick said to Qin Ge, "If you want to achieve complete victory, you must maintain absolute rationality."

Likewise, in handling Fleet matters, it's the same; if you want this Fleet to exert its maximum strength, you must maintain your rationality, and absolutely must not let emotions ruin all previous efforts.

"I understand." Qin Ge nodded.

"Then next, let's first count the available personnel in our Fleet?" Emperor Frederick said.

"Available personnel?" Qin Ge felt doubtful.

"That's right, since you want to become the king of this world, you must bear the responsibility for our Fleet's future. The one who reins in at the precipice is a general; the one who sees the precipice and does not rein in is a king!"

"And a king must be good at employing people, not needing to handle every matter personally; these things, I believe my child, you, being familiar with Donghuang's history, have surely heard of them as well." Emperor Frederick said.

"I understand." Qin Ge nodded.

Indeed, in Donghuang history, every prosperous age was forged by emperors skilled at employing people. For example, Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu, likewise Tang Taizong and Song Taizu; their subordinates' talents were as numerous as carp crossing the river.

"My child, what you currently possess is something the Nine Major Factions could never have. Now, aside from Donghuang and a few other factions, their upper echelons are entirely composed of their own faction's shipgirls."

"Even if one wanted to use shipgirls from other factions, one would have to worry about whether those shipgirls might betray, or about the internal emotions within one's own faction."

"These factors will not exist in our Fleet, because even if there are different factions, we serve only you alone."

"So as long as you exist here, our Fleet will not have such contradictions as they do," Emperor Frederick said slowly…
