Chapter 513: Are You Iron Blood Trying to Seize Power?
"This is the prerequisite for everything, and this is also the foundation of everything." Emperor Frederick said.
"So for you who possess multiple faction leaders, you must let their abilities come into play."
"Think about it, each of them can independently lead a faction, and now they have gathered under your command—how could you possibly not handle a fleet?"
Qin Ge looked at Bismarck beside him, involuntarily nodding, "That is to say, some of my ideas essentially suppressed their power?"
"Hehe, as expected of my child, your reaction is really quick." Emperor Frederick smiled, "Your thoughts are simple, your sense of responsibility is very strong, but it is precisely this simple mindset and sense of responsibility that suppresses their abilities.
"Our ship girls are not merely the personifications of warships; thus, military strength is only one of our strengths, not our entirety."
Qin Ge nodded; if the ship girls had only military strength, the current situation of the nine major factions could not have arisen.
"Then, try entrusting things to them to accomplish; you need to be someone who coordinates the overall situation, not someone who always rushes to the front." Emperor Frederick smiled.
"But how should we arrange this?" Qin Ge asked.
"My child, do you believe in me?" Emperor Frederick asked.
"Naturally I believe; you are my ship girl, how could I not believe you?" Qin Ge said.
"In that case, my child, in your name, hold a meeting of the port area leaders. Gather everyone's strengths, and thoroughly clarify the path our fleet will take from now on." Emperor Frederick said.
"Good." Qin Ge naturally agreed, after all he had thought of this before, and now with Emperor Frederick's help, it is also a great assistance for him.
At that moment, seeing Qin Ge agree, Emperor Frederick turned his head to look at Hai Tian beside him.
"Good child, could you trouble yourself to notify the leaders of the major factions? Believe my child, you also heard what I just said."
Gazing at Emperor Frederick's eyes emitting a dark gold light, Hai Tian involuntarily nodded. He then immediately picked up the communicator beside him and began contacting the other fleet leaders.
Bismarck said to Emperor Frederick and Qin Ge, "Then we'll go to the meeting room; I believe they will come soon."
"Hmm."
The two nodded and agreed, and the three walked together to the downstairs meeting room. Sure enough, not long after, the leaders of the other factions arrived one after another.
However, seeing Bismarck seated beside Qin Ge and Emperor Frederick standing behind Qin Ge, several people couldn't help but frown.
However, it was obvious that these two paid no attention to these things until the last leader arrived; Emperor Frederick looked at the ship girls seated around the conference table and began to speak.
"Welcome, everyone, to today's gathering; today is a day of great historical significance for our fleet. Because from today onward, our fleet will undergo reform."
"Reform? Emperor Frederick, what do you mean by that?" the Monarch spoke up.
Hearing the Monarch's question, Emperor Frederick's eyes twinkled slightly, then he said, "You are all leaders of the various factions; I believe you can understand what I mean.
"I know you all love and protect my child, but when he takes the position of commander, what he needs is growth and experience, not your protection."
"So what do you Iron Blood plan to do? Depose the commander and seize power? If that's the case, then we Royals will be the first to oppose!" the Monarch said bluntly.
"Seize power?" Emperor Frederick suddenly laughed, "If it were about seizing power, would I have summoned you? Or am I just openly displaying my strength by seizing power right before your eyes?
"Moreover, this is my child; I will seize anything he wants and place it before him. How could I bear to take even a bit away from his hands?"
"However, he is already exhausted, far beyond what a commander should do. But you faction leaders, in order to make him happy, disregard everything and let him run wild—don't you bear any fault?"
"This..."
In an instant, all the faction leaders were dumbstruck. Seeing this, Emperor Frederick did not continue speaking, and Qin Ge beside him also awkwardly opened his mouth but said nothing.
"So what are you Iron Blood preparing to do?" Weineito asked.
"My child is the most unique in this world, possessing not only ship girls from different factions but also you all. Furthermore, our potential is limitless; compared to any faction, we are only stronger, never weaker.
"Therefore, I intend to let my child become the king of this world, and let our fleet become the force that leads this world." Emperor Frederick said word by word.
His tone was resonant and powerful; anyone could feel the strength in these words.
"Do you know how much sacrifice this will entail?" Zhang Men couldn't help but ask.
"This is war, not a game. Even if our world is still filled with sacrifice, should we halt our steps just because someone must sacrifice?" Emperor Frederick said.
"Moreover, it's not about how we Iron Blood should act, but how this fleet should act. I hope that from now on, you will place our fleet first, rather than your own factions."
After Emperor Frederick finished saying this, everyone present knew that the person before them was not joking. Moreover, seeing Qin Ge's reaction, it seemed he had already accepted Emperor Frederick's words.
"Then how should we proceed next? Do you have a detailed plan?" Enterprise asked.
"Of course, since we prepared this meeting today, there will naturally be a detailed plan." Emperor Frederick said.
"First, disband the eight fleets previously formed; such blind sorties will only increase our logistical consumption burden. Even though our fleet has such strength, avoiding these burdens, but such blind sorties are foolish.
"Next, establish a commission team. Previously, our fleet had basically no achievements in this area; going forward, we must certainly focus on supplementing and improving this."
"Commission work can bring us resources; since we are taking this route, we must certainly have sufficient reserves, as our current resources are far from enough."
"If the nine major factions become hostile toward us, we would directly fall into the awkward situation of having no usable resources; therefore, while securing commission resources, we must establish our own research system."
"We must be able to produce oil ourselves, independently complete research equipment, and even break through technological barriers."
"Besides that, establish a sortie team, with the precondition of collecting combat data for the five research wisdom cubes, forming a six-person elite team. Then conduct a rotation to guarantee the efficiency of combat data collection!"
"……"
