Chapter 707: Arrival at Iron Blood

Although Hipper's personality is somewhat tsundere, she does not delay in the slightest when it comes to official business.

After arranging for those fleet commanders to continue patrolling, she proceeded together with Scharnhorst toward the nearby port ahead.

"Are you the shipgirls of Commander Qin Ge?" Hipper said curiously, looking at the people of Peter Strasse. "Although I've never been to Donghuang, I've heard of your commander many times in Iron Blood."

"However, logically speaking, shouldn't you be fighting the Sirens in Donghuang right now? How did you end up here?"

"Hipper, Commander Qin Ge and his fleet are the reinforcements that the White Eagle's Enterprise mentioned in the communicator earlier." Scharnhorst hurriedly explained, after all, given Hipper's personality, if she didn't explain in time, who knows what she might say.

"Huh?" Hipper exclaimed in surprise. "So the reinforcements that the White Eagle's Enterprise mentioned in the communicator are Commander Qin Ge's fleet? This... is truly unbelievable."

"According to common sense, Commander Qin Ge should be directing his fleet to defend the Donghuang coastline; how could he possibly come here and appear as reinforcements?"

Amid the smiles of Peter Strasse and the others, Scharnhorst explained, "The strength of Commander Qin Ge's fleet is now comparable to that of a powerful faction; even compared to our Iron Blood, it is not lacking in any way, and indeed surpasses it."

"Therefore, they can completely deal with the Siren fleet in their own surroundings, and also help Donghuang and Sakura Empire deal with the Sirens in their respective directions. After discussion, they decided to rush to our aid."

"Ah, that strong?" Hipper exclaimed in surprise. "Wasn't it you who said when you came back that although his fleet is strong, it's still far behind us?"

Scharnhorst, looking at Peter Strasse and the others smiling all over, couldn't help but rub his forehead, saying, "That's right; when I returned, I was indeed still behind our Iron Blood, but circumstances change quickly, and now we are completely superior to Iron Blood."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have fought side by side with his Iron Blood shipgirls on the battlefield."

"Alright." Hipper clicked her tongue, then said, "Right, you said you're already fighting near the Iron Blood waters? Weren't you just in Madalena before?"

"We were indeed in Madalena before, but as the front lines shifted, we moved here to Iron Blood. The reason you feel there are fewer Sirens on the front lines now is that our attacks have been successful." Scharnhorst said.

"So does that mean Tirpitz's worries were unnecessary?" Hipper asked.

"Hard to say, but before we returned, it was still better to strengthen patrols in the nearby waters." Scharnhorst said.

"I understand." Hipper nodded. "Then how many people's worth of supplies do we need to prepare this time?"

"Supplies for 250 people, at least enough to last about a month." Scharnhorst said.

"About a month?" Hipper asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's also the current estimated time, especially for emergency repair tools, which we need to prepare more of, since the intensity of the fighting ahead is high, and it's hard to say what will happen next."

"Anyway, when you come back later, you can just look at the battle report; right now things are urgent, and there's no time to explain everything in detail." Scharnhorst said.

"Alright." Hipper nodded and didn't ask any further.

Everyone proceeded along the way and finally reached the shore, but upon seeing the familiar sight before them, Bumblebee exclaimed in surprise, "Commander Academy?"

Scharnhorst nodded. "Yes, our Iron Blood Commander Academy is somewhat different from other commander academies. Most faction's commander academies are located in the most prosperous cities, that is, the cities where the headquarters are located."

"However, the Iron Blood Commander Academy is located in another district, so when the Sirens attack, this place suffers less damage. And our next supply point is right here."

"Hmm, that's a blessing in disguise." Peter Strasse nodded.

While they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the port, and they all jumped ashore near the nearest dock.

"Then the supply matter is up to you, Hipper. I'll first take Peter and the others to rest a bit, after all we've been sailing for so long, and we'll have to leave again shortly." Scharnhorst said.

"No problem." Hipper nodded. "Supplies for 250 people for one month, including nutritious food and ordinary food, plus extra emergency repair tools, and fuel for many command ships, etc."

"Yes, that's it; please take care of it." Scharnhorst said with a smile.

"No problem, don't forget I used to do this before." Hipper nodded and quickly left everyone's presence.

"Can she handle it alone, supplying so many people?" Baltimore asked doubtfully.

"No problem, didn't Hipper say earlier? She used to do this, so we can just leave it to her." Scharnhorst said.

"That's why I'm a bit doubtful; what is Hipper's position in Iron Blood?" Baltimore asked.

"She is responsible for logistics support, handling the logistics for both the Maritime Affairs Bureau and the Commander Academy." Scharnhorst replied.

"Oh, I see." Everyone suddenly understood.

"So now, take this time to rest properly; the Commander Academy is currently on break, the whole school is in a semi-abandoned state, but the facilities are still complete. I'll take you to the reception building, where you can rest a bit; once Hipper has finished preparing, we'll set off immediately." Scharnhorst said.

"No problem." Peter Strasse nodded. They will later be responsible for supply transport and must remain vigilant at all times. So, given this rare opportunity to rest, they might as well rest well, adjust their condition to the best, so as to guarantee the safe delivery of supplies.

"Hmm, follow me." Scharnhorst nodded and led Peter Strasse and the others to the reception building of the Commander Academy to rest.

After such a long battle, Peter Strasse and the others were also exhausted; upon entering the room, they quickly fell into sleep, letting their minds adjust.

Scharnhorst was the same; having not engaged in such high-intensity combat in the Atlantic Ocean for many years, he also quickly entered a resting state, but before resting, he took some time to report this information to Tirpitz.

Peter Strasse and the others arrived in Iron Blood at noon, and by the time all the supplies were fully equipped, it was already night.

And, among those who came to see them off, also included the current coordinator of Iron Blood, Tierbici.
