Chapter 637: Bisimai's Suggestion

Hehe. Hearing Qin Ge's words, Akagi beside him laughed and said, "That's fake."

Qin Ge froze for a moment, then immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Akagi smiled while taking out two communication devices and placing them on the table, "These two dedicated communication devices were used by me when I was the Sakura Empire Faction Leader to contact Donghuang and the Sakura Empire."

Originally they should have been handed over to the juniors, but they let me keep them; I never expected they would actually be useful this time.

After the commander finished speaking about that matter, I tried using these two dedicated communication devices to contact Donghuang and the Sakura Empire, but unfortunately, communication was impossible.

The only possible cause for this situation is that the Sirens cut off our communications. So it's strange: why did you, Commander, receive a communication from Donghuang's Yixian?

Moreover, it gave you a detailed explanation: as long as the Siren stronghold is eliminated, the Siren Tide can be ended.

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, "So you mean the one who communicated with me earlier wasn't Yixian, but someone else? Who is she?"

Faced with Qin Ge's doubt, everyone in the command ship shook their heads; although Akagi could determine it wasn't a communication from Yixian, no one could guess who it was.

Meanwhile, Gneisenau stood silently to the side, watching Qin Ge and his shipgirls discuss without a word. She knew exactly who it was, after all she was standing right there when the communication came.

"The most likely culprit is the Sirens; otherwise, no one now knows that clearing the Siren stronghold would end the Siren Tide. But as for who exactly did it, I don't know—I think only they would pull off such a nasty trick." Bisimai said.

"If that's the case, we should head to Donghuang and the Sakura Empire even more." Qin Ge looked at the two communicators on the table and said, "Since the Siren Tide began, almost ten days have passed, but communication with the two factions remains cut off, so it's easy to imagine they are enduring a grueling battle."

"Therefore, we should immediately go to Donghuang and the Sakura Empire to pull them out of the mire of battle; otherwise, if the fighting continues, the losses for both sides will be immeasurable."

"Agreed, the Donghuang and Sakura Empire factions are the two closest to us, and our relations with our fleet are fairly friendly; moreover, the commander's alma mater is in Donghuang, so both emotionally and logically we should go support them." Enterprise said.

"I also agree; Donghuang has never shortchanged our fleet, and most of our supplies need to be transshipped through Donghuang. When we built the port area, Donghuang helped us as well. If we stood by and did nothing, it would really be inexcusable." Weineituo spoke up; although her words were pragmatic, that's simply the fact.

"Agreed." Lisailiu's words were brief, but the strength they conveyed was strong.

At this point, Bisimai said to Qin Ge, "Although I also agree to go assist the Sakura Empire and Donghuang, our fleet cannot send everyone.

First, although the Siren fleet in this area has already been cleared, we still need to leave a detachment to guard our waters and our port area as a precaution. Moreover, our fleet has wounded personnel who must receive timely treatment; long-distance travel and combat are obviously not ideal conditions for recovery.

Second, assistance to the Sakura Empire and Donghuang would be best led by elite shipgirls. Since the Sakura Empire and Donghuang are unlike us—they have many shipgirls and commanders—regular forces would not help them much; on the contrary, in such a major battle, elite shipgirls are better suited for long-range raids and delivering a decisive blow to the battlefield.

Furthermore, although the front lines the Sakura Empire and Donghuang hold are a single line, providing support from different directions involves a sequence; putting either second would be unfavorable. Therefore we must split our forces into two routes: one heading to Donghuang for support, the other to the Sakura Empire for support."

Faced with Bisimai's suggestion, Qin Ge nodded and said, "Bisimai is quite right. When we first set out from our port area waters to come here, clearing the Siren stronghold was an unavoidable action. Now that the Siren fleet in this sea area has been cleared, we need to consider our defense of the home island."

"On this point, my opinion is to send Li Chenming and others back to defend; they have many shipgirls and fully trained elite shipgirls on hand, so defending against a Siren Tide is more than enough for the port area under attack."

"Our fleet will keep all fully trained shipgirls behind, send the wounded and those not yet fully trained back for recuperation, and carry out daily affairs in the port area."

"Furthermore, I support splitting the forces, just as Bisimai said: both factions must receive aid, but deciding who to help first and who second would be a major blow to that faction's relations, so it's better to simply divide our forces into two routes."

"The team heading to Donghuang will be led by me, with White Eagle, Royal, Sardinian Empire, and the shipgirls of the Donghuang faction following me. The team heading to the Sakura Empire will be led by Bisimai, with Sakura Empire, Iron Blood, free Iris, and Vichy Tribunal, plus a group of shipgirls from the Northern Union."

"This way, the high-end combat power of the two detachments can stay balanced, ensuring our fleet's safety while providing aid to both factions."

"Actually, the commander doesn't need to go at all; we can handle it ourselves." Soviet Russia said.

Moreover, after Soviet Russia finished speaking, several other shipgirls also expressed agreement with her view. After all, Qin Ge has been fighting alongside them for about ten days; during this time he has had extremely little rest, spending most of it in a command state, so he really needs to rest properly, and the upcoming long-distance raid support is no joke.

Qin Ge laughed and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. This battle means a great deal to this world, and who can guarantee that after we assist Donghuang and the Sakura Empire, we can end this war?"

"Therefore, I must stay with you at all times, adjusting our future deployment as the situation gradually changes. Moreover, I don't know what the upcoming battle will look like, and I don't want to just sit idle in the rear waiting for your news. If possible, I would rather fight side by side with you."

Qin Ge's wording left the shipgirls present unable to utter any rebuttal; even Gneisenau, leaning to the side, had her eyes light up after hearing it.

"Since the commander is so insistent, we can't really refuse." Bisimai looked at Qin Ge and said, then turned to look at Enterprise and the others on the other side, "Trouble you all, please be sure to ensure the commander's safety."

King George V smiled and said, "Rest assured, if anyone wants to harm the commander, they'd have to step over my corpse."

"Then let's begin preparations."

"Understood!"
