Chapter 52

"Tomorrow's first period is the Strategy and Tactics Course, Commander." On the way back, Banrenma placed the books into their Jia Zhuang Kong Jian, holding the course schedule and looking at it.

"Oh, really?" Nengdai also turned their head, looking at the course schedule in Banrenma's hand.

Qin Ge smiled slightly, "Strategy is the foundation of war, so placing the Strategy course in the first period is quite normal. Only after studying strategy can one categorize and match the knowledge of each subject."

"Looks like the Commander is already prepared?" Banrenma asked with a smile.

"Well, since I've taken on this responsibility from the Dean, I must do it well." Qin Ge said, looking ahead.

"I believe the Commander can definitely do it." Banrenma said with a smile.

"Well, I also must do it well; delivering this lecture well can let many people avoid unnecessary sacrifices due to decision mistakes, so it's very important." Qin Ge said.

Banrenma and Nengdai exchanged a glance; they could clearly feel Qin Ge's self-pressure, but also feel his self-confidence.

Thus the two didn't choose to keep talking, but instead closely followed Qin Ge all the way to their rooms.

And during this One Day, besides going out for a meal, the three were in the room previewing all the books.

……

……

Time never waits for anyone; in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived with the birdsong of dawn.

Although his class was the first period, Qin Ge did not neglect his daily morning exercise; he still chose to get up on time, properly finish his morning exercise, then return to the room to wash up.

After everything was tidied up, I brought Banrenma and Nengdai along, finished breakfast, and headed to the Grand Lecture Hall.

The so-called Grand Lecture Hall is where the Instructors usually teach the commanders. Since there are only about 100 to 200 commanders, there's no need to open separate classrooms for these few people, so the Commander Academy opted for a more economical and more centralized Grand Lecture Hall.

This term's commanders are somewhat more numerous; together with their shipgirls, plus the previous term's commanders and shipgirls, there are almost 700 in total.

Even with over 700 people seated in the Grand Lecture Hall, it doesn't feel crowded at all, showing just how huge the hall is.

Normally, however, there aren't over 700 people in there at once, because most of the time the second-year students are out on missions, or they're practicing tactical coordination with their shipgirls, so most of the attendees are first-year students.

But today's situation is somewhat special, because this is Qin Ge's first class, and the news that this new commander Qin Ge would be serving as an Assistant Teacher for the Strategy and Tactics Course has spread throughout the school, so almost everyone knows of his existence.

So today the Grand Lecture Hall was packed full; even when Qin Ge reached the hall's entrance, he saw Mikasa and the other Instructors, as well as the Prince of Wales accompanied by Enterprise and Qinglong, all waiting there.

"Commander Qin Ge." Seeing Qin Ge approach with his two shipgirls, everyone greeted him.

"Although this is my first lesson, it is indeed rather solemn." Qin Ge looked at these battle-hardened Instructors and couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.

"Hehe, Commander Qin Ge, are you feeling a bit nervous now?" Enterprise said.

"I'm not exactly nervous; I'm just afraid that if I don't do well, I might disappoint you all." Qin Ge said with a smile.

"It's nothing; yesterday I heard Mikasa tell me about your speculation on the Siren Tide that occurred in the Northern Union, and I thought your idea and reasoning were quite good. So I believe this simple Strategy and Tactics Course won't stump you." the Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge.

At this moment Enterprise and Qinglong involuntarily nodded; they should have gone back separately yesterday, but Marvelous Height promptly reported the results they discussed in Mikasa's room to the Prince of Wales.

This result coincided with Enterprise's speculation, making Enterprise and Qinglong even more interested in Qin Ge. They all requested to stay at the academy for one day to listen to Qin Ge's Strategy and Tactics Course.

"We're different from them; we're just here to cheer you on." Mikasa said with a smile.

"Yes, I believe Qin Ge's lesson will be very interesting, and I also want to gain some experience here." Orchid Profit also said.

"Alright, then I will strive to not disappoint everyone's high expectations in today's first lesson." Qin Ge said to everyone.

"Then let's go in together; I believe those students have been waiting for this moment for a long time." the Prince of Wales said.

"No problem." Qin Ge nodded and said.

"Banrenma, Nengdai, you two sit with us; during the class Qin Ge won't be able to look after you." Mikasa said with a smile to Banrenma and Nengdai.

"Yes, Sanli Xianbei." Banrenma and Nengdai immediately nodded, walked to Mikasa's side, and entered the Grand Lecture Hall together with everyone.

At this moment, over 700 shipgirls and commanders in the Grand Lecture Hall had taken their seats, because they had seen from the direction of the entrance the Dean, Prince of Wales, the Maritime Affairs Bureau Director Qinglong, the Front Line Commander Enterprise's arrival, and also their familiar Instructors.

After everyone entered the Grand Lecture Hall, Qin Ge then walked in. He held his head high, puffed out his chest, and stepped onto the Grand Lecture Hall in the most confident state.

As if sensing his state, when he scanned the Grand Lecture Hall with his eyes, all the commanders and shipgirls there straightened their bodies in unison.

Qin Ge stood straight on the podium, adjusted the microphone on the podium, and shouted to everyone.

"Class!"

All the commanders and shipgirls rose to their feet and straightened their bodies toward Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "Sit down!"

With the sound of chairs being moved, all the commanders and shipgirls sat back in their seats, and then the entire Grand Lecture Hall filled with the sound of pages turning.

But just then, Qin Ge said to everyone, "This first lesson doesn't require textbooks; please all commanders collect your books and just listen quietly with your ears."

Qin Ge's voice spread through the entire Grand Lecture Hall via the loudspeaker, and his remark left these commanders feeling very surprised, especially the second-year students. Because all the previous teachers had lectured by opening the textbooks and teaching according to the knowledge therein, but Qin Ge did not do that.

"Today I will give you all the first lesson on strategy and tactics."

The purpose of this lesson is to cultivate all of you to use our wisdom to overcome the enemy and achieve victory……
