Chapter 517: Entangled

Commander, are you still thinking about what Emperor Frederick just said?

During patrol, Hai Tian looked at the somewhat absent-minded Qin Ge and couldn't help but say.

Qin Ge didn't turn his head to look at Hai Tian, just lightly nodded towards the distance, "Yes, I know what Emperor Frederick said is correct, but to maintain absolute rationality under such a choice, I feel I still can't do it."

Most of them came with me from the Academy, and they almost unconditionally trust me. If we really have to go to Guandao later, you will definitely be in great danger; they are not like me, they all have their own families.

If we adopt the method Emperor Frederick said, it would indeed make them follow me, but I always feel sorry for them doing that.

Hai Tian smiled and said, "Commander, you're actually overthinking it; perhaps your ambition isn't that big."

I previously heard Zhenhai tell a story; she said why, whenever dynasties changed in ancient times, so many people would join rebel organizations?

Don't they know the danger ahead? If they fail, it's a death sentence, yet many still go forward without hesitation.

Qin Ge shook his head, "I don't know; I think perhaps they were doing it for revenge in their hearts."

Hai Tian shook his head, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the court is flourishing, all for fame. And people living in this world pursue nothing but fame and profit."

Even though there may be too many excuses to cover up this behavior, essentially it is still so.

Although most commanders have strong faith, joining to drive out the Sirens, constant advancement still has the two words fame and profit driving it.

This is something no one can escape, including commanders. So when an opportunity lies before them that could make them stronger than other commanders in the world, or more famous than other commanders in the world, do you think they would care about those dangers?

Moreover, the commander's strength is right here, with you as their backing; what do they still have to worry or fear about?

So commander, don't worry so much about them; instead, as long as we do our own things well, with our fleet's help they will live better than other front-line commanders.

Qin Ge looked at Hai Tian in surprise, "I didn't expect you, Hai Tian, to have such a viewpoint; you see through these matters so thoroughly."

Hai Tian quickly shook her head, with a slightly red face, said to Qin Ge, "No, Commander. Didn't I just tell you? These are all what Zhenhai told me; she has studied this very thoroughly, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

Qin Ge laughed, "Zhenhai indeed has a very thorough grasp of human nature; it's been like that before. Then I'll trust you: to forge iron, one must be strong oneself; as long as we build our fleet into a strong fleet, we won't need to worry about these things."

"Mm, that's the reasoning." Hai Tian smiled.

"Alright, after this patrol round we'll go to the warehouse to take out the supplies and the Cube, preparing to go to the construction center for summoning." Qin Ge said.

"Okay, Commander." Hai Tian smiled, "I hope we can summon the Eastern Glory Sisters this time."

"Your sister Hai Qi and Zhao He's sister Ying Rui, right? I remember." Qin Ge laughed and said.

"Thank you, Commander." Hai Tian.

"No problem."

Although Hai Tian, Qin Ge didn't dare guarantee it, because he wasn't sure if he could summon those two.

But this time Emperor Frederick gave more slots; perhaps we really can summon them.

The two walked forward together, but when passing the Free Shipgirls dormitory, seeing the scene before them, Qin Ge froze for a moment and then couldn't help but laugh.

Hai Tian beside him also exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, is the relationship between North Carolina and our fleet's Washington that good?"

"You don't know this?" Qin Ge asked strangely, "Many in our fleet know this; since Washington and Zhao He joined our Gangqu together, North Carolina has often come over."

"I don't know, because when I have nothing to do I'm usually reading in my room; aside from a few people in the fleet I'm familiar with, others are just a greeting when we meet." Hai Tian said embarrassedly.

Qin Ge laughed, "I thought you were this talkative when you're with me, and assumed you'd be the same with others; who knew it would be like this."

If Zhenhai is a military strategist, then Hai Tian you are like a deep boudoir young lady? A literary girl, hehe.

"Commander..." Hai Tian said in a low voice with a red face, obviously shy.

However, the two's voices obviously drew the attention of Washington and North Carolina not far away; they turned their heads, saw Qin Ge and Hai Tian, and walked over.

"Commander Qin Ge, hello; and Miss Hai Tian, hello." North Carolina smiled.

"Commander." Washington raised his hand, "And Hai Tian, are you on patrol?"

"Yes, we two are currently on patrol." Qin Ge smiled, "I just saw you two talking; what were you saying, so happy?"

"I asked North Carolina some questions." Washington said, "Now that we've finished, let's go together."

Qin Ge laughed, "Can I ask what questions you asked?"

"Um, Commander, you don't need to know this." Washington said helplessly.

However, Qin Ge didn't listen to Washington, but turned his gaze to North Carolina.

North Carolina laughed, "Actually, nothing much earlier; Washington wasn't doing smile practice?"

Now she feels she has a little result, so she wanted to come over to let us see how she did; thus I gave her some of my own insights, hoping to help her.

Qin Ge suddenly realized, then looked at Washington, "Oh, that's the matter; what do you have to be embarrassed about?"

"It's just that after such a long time there's only a slight effect, so I feel a bit embarrassed." Washington said.

Qin Ge laughed, "But why not look for others in the fleet, instead coming to find North Carolina?"

Washington opened his mouth but said nothing.

Seeing this, Qin Ge instead understood something; he then turned his head to North Carolina beside him and said, "North Carolina, the Free Shipgirls you have always led are a pillar of our Gangqu."

But there's one thing I've always forgotten to ask you; I don't know if you have the intention to join a fleet led by a commander.

"Eh?"

Qin Ge's question made North Carolina freeze for a moment, and even Washington beside her was somewhat stunned.

"Can it still be like this?"
