Chapter 698: Meeting

The outpost's battle conference room is not large, so basically each faction's leader enters the venue while others wait outside.

However, because of Qin Ge's special circumstances, Belfast has always stayed by his side.

"Since everyone is now here, let's begin the meeting." Bisimai glanced at the nine people present and said.

"Well, Enterprise, can you tell us why the previous plan was stopped, and why this time we suddenly want to restart it? You know our faction's situation is much worse than before, and we've even drawn out so many elites—it's simply..." King George V asked Enterprise.

"You've also seen that the arrival of Qin Ge's commander, Donghuang, and Sakura Empire's aid can greatly strengthen our power, making the plan's chances higher."

Besides, more importantly, Sakura Empire and Donghuang have already eliminated the impact of the Siren Tide, which proves they have returned to peace, so this result is also worth us learning from.

Moreover, Qin Ge's commander has brought some information we had never explored before, which can make our operation more convenient this time." Facing King George V's question, Enterprise replied.

Qin Ge felt puzzled here, looked doubtfully at Enterprise and said, "So you didn't tell the other major factions about what we said in White Eagle?"

Qin Ge's words left the other major faction leaders stunned, and they all turned to look at Enterprise. Seeing Enterprise nod, she said, "You also know that signals are now jammed and only simple messages can be sent; I cannot report the results of my meeting with Qin Ge's commander to you, so you must understand—this is also why we convened this meeting here."

Seeing the other faction leaders nod, it was clear they all knew this reason.

The Soviet Alliance looked at Enterprise and said, "Then go ahead and tell us the results of your meeting."

"No problem." Enterprise nodded, and under the gaze of several leaders who had not attended the meeting, she related everything she had learned from her meeting with Qin Ge.

Including the reasons Donghuang and Sakura Empire escaped their predicament, the arbitration institution deep in the Atlantic Ocean, and the remnants from other worlds.

"Is this really our world?" Weineituo looked incredulous.

"These are naturally true; otherwise we wouldn't have come this far to rescue you." Qin Ge said to everyone.

"What Qin Ge's commander said is indeed true; after he eliminated the Siren outpost sea area off Donghuang's coast, the Siren Tide in Donghuang indeed ceased, allowing us to come support you." Ninghai said to everyone.

"Sakura Empire's situation is the same; although we haven't seen a true arbiter, those remnants have interacted with us for a relatively long time, giving us a clear judgment of their strength." Zuikaku said.

"We naturally also trust Qin Ge's commander's information; otherwise we couldn't explain the newly appeared Siren humanoid elite units." The Soviet Alliance said, "However, according to what Enterprise said earlier, there are two or more arbiters in the Atlantic Ocean sea area, so our chances of success in this strike are very low?"

"But you have no choice, right?" Qin Ge looked at the Soviet Alliance and said, "Unless you are willing to move all coastal cities inland and turn your commanders and ship girls into land forces, the ocean cannot be abandoned."

"Tsk, Qin Ge's commander's words are sharp, but indeed as you said, we now have no other choice—except to hold the line and slowly await death, there's only this desperate gamble left." King George V smiled and said.

"Free Iris has staked everything on this battle; we must win this fight and be victorious, otherwise our ship girls will become history and the sea will no longer belong to us." Lisailiu looked at everyone and said.

"The Sardinian Empire is also willing to make the due contribution for this, for the sea we rely on for survival, for the land we rely on for survival, so that the Sardinian Empire's prestige may shine over this sea area." Weineituo said passionately.

"I believe in your determination, but there is now a problem before us: if we act collectively, we must have a leader commander; otherwise we cannot accurately convey orders, and we would remain a disorganized mob." The Soviet Alliance said, "So, how have you few factions decided?"

Everyone's eyes narrowed; originally the Soviet Alliance said that precisely to lay the groundwork for this point. Now everyone has no retreat—either choose a leader, or accept the fate of being driven out by the Sirens.

For a moment, no one spoke; everyone's eyes wandered, trying to catch a hint of thought or flaw from the other's expression or gaze.

But just then, the impatient Zuikaku would not let the venue stay silent like this. She spoke up, "We've come to this point, and you're still silent about who should lead? Then let me, as a supporter, offer a suggestion: I recommend Qin Ge's commander as the leader of this operation."

The reason is that, aside from Qin Ge's commander, you all lack experience fighting Siren arbiters, and you also lack experience fighting in Siren outpost sea areas.

Moreover, among the external aid remnants, Qin Ge's commander has had the most dealings; to ensure victory, I think this is the best choice.

As soon as Zuikaku said that, the gazes of all the ship girls turned to Qin Ge, but Qin Ge, after hearing it, showed no expression, instead sitting upright with eyes closed, as if asleep.

But everyone present is very shrewd; they naturally know Qin Ge, and since it's not appropriate to speak up now, they chose to stay silent—otherwise it would be bullying with power, lacking legitimacy.

"I think Zuikaku's words have some merit, but they are still one-sided." Bisimai said, "Qin Ge's commander's battlefield is the Pacific Ocean; that is his home turf."

"But the region we are now in is the Atlantic Ocean; its hydrography, terrain, etc., are also major factors constraining war, so I think the evaluation criteria should include a few more."

Although Bisimai did not openly voice opposition, his words implied that meaning.

But just then, Ninghai, who came with Qin Ge, also said, "The ship girls of Qin Ge's commander's fleet are not only capable of fighting in the Pacific Ocean; don't forget they were originally ship girls of this Atlantic Ocean, merely summoned by Qin Ge's commander in Donghuang."

Therefore I believe the leader of this operation must be Qin Ge's commander, or else you think you can lead us and defeat those arbiters?

You know, what do those represent?
