Chapter 689

Qin Ge listened to Cleveland's report, then frowned: "They still didn't listen to my initial warning to them."

Cleveland said somewhat embarrassedly, "At that time, although the commander had some prestige among the major factions, in practice they still wouldn't pay much attention to your suggestions."

"After all, a faction has many things to consider, needing to take into account different people's opinions; otherwise the high command wouldn't have so many members."

"But I believe that after this Siren Tide, when the commander speaks again, there won't be a situation like this one."

Qin Ge nodded, "Hopefully, but from the information you reported, they seem to be at the end of their rope; otherwise they wouldn't stake everything on an assault on the Sai ren ju dian in the Atlantic Ocean."

"Pretty much, Yue Ke Cheng is usually gentle and honest, so she probably wouldn't lie to us; the situation of the White Eagle, Royal, Iron Blood, and Iris factions must be dire." Cleveland said.

"Then, commander, are you planning to go straight through the Panama Canal next?" Zhenhai asked from the side.

Qin Ge nodded, "Exactly, since the Sirens' main thrust isn't here, going to support wouldn't yield the greatest benefit."

"So it would be better to go directly from here to the Panama Canal, then from the Panama Canal reach the Atlantic Ocean. And didn't Cleveland just say that the White Eagle would have someone to meet us when we arrive?"

"After we rendezvous, we'll then contact the other factions to launch a simultaneous sortie; that way we can be safer."

"Hmm." Zhenhai nodded, "But although that's what we said, over there there are two Arbiters, and although we have Hai Lun Na, Flying Dragon, and Gneisenau—three ships from other worlds—facing them still poses some difficulties."

"I know, so I'm wondering if gathering more Awakened Shipgirls would let us contribute some strength to this battle." Qin Ge said, looking at Zhenhai.

At that moment, Hai Lun Na from the side spoke up, "Commander Qin Ge doesn't need to worry too much; although we're only three of us now, when have we ever said there were none of our people in the Atlantic?"

"You should know that the remnants who came to this world aren't just us three, so when facing Hermes and Tianpa Lans, we might still have a fighting chance."

Hearing Hai Lun Na say that, Qin Ge's furrowed brow relaxed, "If what Hai Lun Na said is really true, that would be wonderful."

"By then, not only will we count your remnants' strength, but also add the power of this world's Awakened Shipgirls; I believe we will surely win this war smoothly."

"Ha, hearing that makes my blood boil a little." Cleveland laughed.

"Then what about Enterprise and Hai Lun Na and the others?" Qin Ge asked Cleveland with a smile.

"They went to help Bisimai find a supply point; just now, when I was returning, I already heard they'd found a supply point. However, the island suffered massive bombardment, so how much supplies remain at the point is unclear right now." Cleveland said.

"It's fine; actually, with our current supplies we can completely cross the Panama Canal to reach the White Eagle's eastern coast. Only the commander probably wants us to gather a bit more, just in case we encounter any mishaps along the way." Guanghui smiled.

Qin Ge nodded, "After all, war is fought over logistics; although in this world logistics plays a much smaller role compared to the world I came from, it remains of utmost importance."

"We must ensure everything is flawless; otherwise, if we encounter some sudden situation on the road, it'll be too late to regret."

"Besides, this trip is to save people, not to cause trouble."

"Hehe, that's what the lord said." Tiancheng smiled.

"Then commander, I'll go ashore first to help them out; I believe that'll let us depart sooner." Cleveland said.

Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Cleveland; if you see we need more people, just tell me via the communicator and I'll arrange it."

"Yes, commander." Cleveland gave a salute and immediately turned and ran down the ship.

Watching Cleveland's departing figure, Tiancheng looked at Qin Ge and said, "Being able to get several factions to join together to go sweep the sea shows that White Eagle's situation is already urgent; otherwise, given their rationality, they would absolutely not make such a rash plan."

Qin Ge nodded, noting that his fleet includes Bisimai, Lisailiu, Weineituo, Enterprise, etc.; he knows their personalities, and being able to make them choose this shows the factions have already reached the limit of what they can endure.

"It will depend on whether Yue Ke Cheng can persuade them; after all, we still need a long time ahead, and these days should be their darkest hour." Qin Ge said.

"Hopefully, the choices made by those driven to desperation won't be too surprising." Zhenhai smiled, twitching the corner of his mouth.

"We've done all we can; if they still go ahead stubbornly, the losses incurred will be borne solely by their own faction."

"However, I think that after the history of not heeding the commander's warning last time, they should learn a lesson this time."

Qin Ge chuckled, "Hehe, Zhenhai, you're still like that. So now we'll just wait for Bisimai and the others to finish resupplying, then we'll set off."

"Hmm."

After Cleveland left the command ship, he soon returned to Enterprise and the others.

At this time, Enterprise and Bisimai et al. were organizing the supplies; the place had previously been bombed, so many supplies were crushed or scattered.

"Cleveland, why did you come back? Have you reported the White Eagle's situation to the commander?" Enterprise looked at Cleveland in surprise.

"I've already reported to the commander; the commander told us to hurry with resupplying, then go straight from the Panama Canal to the Atlantic." Cleveland said.

"No problem there, but the supplies here are a mess from the earlier bombardment, so we need to spend some time." Enterprise said.

"Why not report the situation here to the commander, so he can send more people over and we can collect and organize faster?" Cleveland said.

"No need to bother the commander with this; we Iron Blood and White Eagle can handle it ourselves—just send people from our two factions." Bisimai came over and said.

"I agree; if we had to trouble the commander with such things, we'd be rather derelict in our duties." Enterprise smiled.

"Then I'll call Denver and the others." Cleveland, naturally not forgetting his sisters, hurriedly said upon hearing that.

"Good, also call the others."
