Chapter 515: Starting to Intervene

"Do you all understand so far?" Soviet Russia said to the gathered commanders.

"Um, I'd like to confirm again." Wu Hao raised his hand and said to Soviet Russia, "You mean the commander plans to put everyone's resources under public ownership, maximizing the number of shipgirls in our fleet and our combat power."

"And you will send max-level shipgirls over, and, on the condition that we guarantee our safety, we will sortie together with our shipgirls into Level 4 sea area to improve proficiency."

"Will the patrol and defense duties of the port area be taken over by your fleet?"

Soviet Russia nodded, saying, "I believe you have already seen the strength of our fleet's shipgirls, because our strength is actually more than enough to go to the front line now, but the reason we haven't been able to go to the front line for so long is that Comrade Commander is waiting for you."

"Before, Commander didn't want to interfere with your and your shipgirls' growth, only providing some guidance, but this is also an oversight of Comrade Commander, and an oversight of our fleet."

"Since Comrade Commander is the most special one, we cannot measure you by his ability, so we have decided that we will intervene to boost your fleet's strength."

"We will provide you with sufficient supplies and resources, full security guarantees, and tactical guarantees after entering sea area combat."

"But won't the commander suffer a loss if we do this?" Li Chenming said to Soviet Russia.

"After all, as the vice commander of the New Sea Grand Fleet, he clearly knows exactly what resources Qin Ge possesses. If those resources were made public, it wouldn't be just a little or two."

"When the commander made this decision, he had already considered this, because only the benefits from our grand fleet's rapid expansion can be greater; if we only look at the present and ignore long-term benefits, that would be bad for everyone." Bisimai said.

"In that case, I have no problem. Moreover, I will replenish double the supplies I consume today tomorrow, and I will definitely not hold back the commander." Zhang Xiaotian, being one of the original elders, quickly made the decision.

The remaining people also responded in kind; over this long period, they have already taken Qin Ge as their banner to move forward. Now, facing this situation, they merely have some doubts, but once they learn the truth, they will proceed without hesitation.

"Excellent, you will be proud of your decision today, and you will also become the commanders second only to Comrade Commander in this world!" Soviet Russia nodded and said.

Everything proceeded very smoothly, whether in handling affairs of the grand fleet or in the internal response of the fleet, all was carried out very smoothly.

However, smooth execution does not mean there are no other voices. But in the gentle voice of Emperor Frederick, such voices quickly vanished without a trace.

Even the two members of the Sakura Empire faction did not speak during this fleet reform. Their silence signified assent, allowing Emperor Frederick's reforms to be implemented even more swiftly.

Furthermore, the resource planning, consumption, income, and other details of the entire grand fleet were very clear.

However, since the New Year is approaching, aside from the commanders of other grand fleets, the shipgirls of this fleet did not sortie. Now they are generally active in commission tasks and sea‑clearing operations.

This effect is very obvious; combined with the sea‑area exploration device, wherever a Siren Fleet appears, the enterprise responsible for that sector quickly dispatches personnel to annihilate them, so the waters near the port area can basically be guaranteed zero Sirens.

Qin Ge, meanwhile, stays in the office every day, processing documents sent from various places, clearly aware of what happens daily at the station.

And whenever the Commission Group returns, Qin Ge goes to the port to welcome them, and this action also improves the atmosphere of the commissions.

At this moment, Qin Ge put down the letter in his hand, looked up, and saw Hai Tian not far away reading a book.

"Hai Tian, what time is it now?" Qin Ge asked.

"Reporting to the commander, it's past ten in the morning." Hai Tian said to Qin Ge.

"Huh? Only ten o'clock?" Qin Ge scratched his head and said, "I feel like there's been less and less work these two days."

Hai Tian smiled faintly, "Isn't this good? Now that the fleet has undergone reform, this can completely free the commander, and everyone can focus on their duties—whether commission work or sea‑area patrols—everything is proceeding very well.

Moreover, the other members of the grand fleet have also gone out for training, and everything is moving toward a better place.

Qin Ge nodded and gave a helpless smile, "I always feel a bit unaccustomed; before I always thought there wasn't enough time, and only when I came back could I sneak some leisure, but now I suddenly realize that I won't need to sortie for long periods anymore, and each day I'm becoming quite idle."

Hai Tian covered his mouth with his hand and smiled, "Actually, I think what Emperor Frederick said earlier was quite right; our fleet's previous model was basically wrong, because every time we returned we were idle, yet the commander remained busy, and when we were busy, the commander became even busier."

"Now that the roles have been swapped like this, I feel it finally resembles a normal fleet."

"But I always feel this is somewhat letting you down, you girls are working so hard every day, yet I, a big man, am resting here..." Qin Ge said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hehe, Commander, aren't you mistaken about something?" Hai Tian smiled, "We are first and foremost warships, and only then girls, so please don't get the order reversed.

"Moreover, your chauvinist thinking is unacceptable; the fleet is not just the commander's fleet, but ours as well. If we handed everything over to you, the ones who would suffer would be us."

"If the commander is really bored after finishing work, why don't we discuss poetry together?"

Listening to the sea, Qin Ge could only nod; since there really is nothing to do now, we might as well have a good chat.

"By the way, isn't it almost New Year?" Qin Ge asked Hai Dao, "This year, are you preparing the spring couplets, or is it Zhenhai?"

"This is something I came up with, and Zhenhai writes it; it's a pity Ying Rui isn't here, otherwise her brushwork would be excellent." Hai Tian said to Qin Ge.

"Ying Rui?" Qin Ge chuckled, "Whenever I mention this, I think of Zhao He always telling people she is Ying Rui's sister. Although Ying Rui hasn't come to our port area yet, I'm afraid everyone in our port area already knows about Ying Rui."

"Hehe, yes, Zhao He's older sister has had a tough time." Hai Tian smiled.

Having said that, Qin Ge pondered and asked, "Then what kind of person is your younger sister Hai Qi?"

"She is, and she's completely opposite to me..."
