Chapter 72

Instructor Qin Ge, thank you very much for your explanation; I really benefited a lot from this lesson.

After the class ended, the Grand Fleet Commander or Vice Commander sitting in the front row walked up to the podium and thanked Qin Ge.

Hehe, it's fine; as long as you gain something from my lessons, that's my greatest value. Qin Ge smiled and replied to them.

The first school-level commander to stand up and ask a question said, "I am Zhang Shiping, commander of the Yunhai Grand Fleet. At first, Director Qinglong told us to come listen to the lecture, and we still had doubts, but after listening to your lesson, I apologize for my earlier doubts."

Yes, I'm the same. Coming here to the Commander Academy to attend lectures has completely opened my mind; I never thought defensive operations could be arranged this way. A Captain-level commander said to Qin Ge.

Yeah, yeah, I'm really curious—did Instructor Qin Ge take off his rank? Given your experience and knowledge, it's definitely not something a private could master, right? A person said to Qin Ge.

Hehe, indeed as you all see, I only joined the Commander Academy to study this year, so I'm still a private. Qin Ge smiled.

That's truly unbelievable. A commander said.

So I want to ask Instructor Qin Ge where he got such systematic and professional academic knowledge? A person asked curiously.

This is self-taught. Qin Ge's face stiffened as he said.

Hehe, Instructor Qin Ge is joking, but this is also personal privacy, not saying it is understandable; however, I will definitely come to your later lectures, and even if I don't come, I'll have my vice commander come. Zhang Shiping said.

Same here, and even if Director Qinglong doesn't say so, I'll still recommend you to my fellow classmates from the same batch. A commander said.

Of course, recommending them, they'll still have to thank me. A commander laughed and said.

After chatting and laughing for a while, everyone said goodbye to Qin Ge and left the Commander Academy separately. Since they are all fleet commanders or vice commanders nearby, they still need to return to coordinate their own fleet's work.

At that moment, while Qin Ge was bringing several of his shipgirls to class, the Prince of Wales in the president's office called Qinglong.

"Welsh, why are you calling me now?" Qinglong said in a doubtful tone.

"500 units of supplies per lesson is too low; you need to raise the price there." The Prince of Wales said nothing else, directly telling Qinglong about this.

"Tsk, so that's the matter. Actually, I was initially troubled too, because after hearing Qin Ge was a new commander, most of them weren't keen to go, so I lowered the funds." Qinglong said helplessly.

"Now they should know how capable Qin Ge is, right? So you should raise their fees a bit." The Prince of Wales said.

"But if the fee is too high, wouldn't it give Commander Qin Ge a mistaken feeling that acquiring resources is very easy, so he'd stop making progress?" Qinglong said worriedly.

"So is that why you kept the fee low? Do you think Qin Ge's personality would make him do that?" The Prince of Wales said.

Hmm, that's fine. I'll ask them later about how they felt today coming back. If they all give positive feedback, then I'll tell them.

Today's lesson is a trial class, so the price can be a bit cheaper; later, when we have formal lessons, we'll charge according to 1000 units of resources per lesson. Qinglong said to the Prince of Wales.

Hmm, our current goal is to train Qin Ge into someone capable of bearing great responsibility, so don't stint on resources. The Prince of Wales said.

Hearing you say that, have you figured out his background? Qinglong asked curiously.

Yes, his background is the same as ours, but you must not publicize this outside, because if a future navy admiral or even navy marshal is not from this world, it won't do. The Prince of Wales said.

I see, that explains it. Rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter even better than you. Qinglong said to the Prince of Wales.

Oh, then after these matters, when the commanders from Enterprise come over, I'll demand an even higher price—anyway, their front line isn't lacking in combat. The Prince of Wales laughed and said to Qinglong.

Hehe, it seems if I were your talent scout, I'd consider Qin Ge a sure-fire thousand-li horse. Qinglong smiled.

About right—we've been deadlocked with the Sirens for too long, and we also need a leader to guide us out of this impasse; I think Qin Ge's arrival is exactly that. The Prince of Wales smiled.

Alright, that's it; I'll arrange it later, don't worry. After saying that, Qinglong hung up the phone; as for the Prince of Wales in the office, he looked at the report in front of him and smiled slightly.

After the morning class ended, Qin Ge had lunch with Li Chenming in the cafeteria, then said goodbye to Li Chenming, who was heading back to rest, and took his shipgirls toward Mingshi's general store.

His purpose today was to buy a few shipgirl textbooks, and incidentally pick up a few tech crates.

Because starting tomorrow it's Saturday and Sunday, he plans to use the next two days to take his shipgirls to the training field to find Fushun for drills.

He knows the principle that to do a job well one must first sharpen one's tools. Previously it was due to insufficient supplies, but now after selling the Cubes and adding the 5000 units of supplies gained this time, he also has 20,000 units of supplies in hand.

This time he plans to buy three shipgirl textbooks, then two gold tech crates and two purple tech crates.

Arriving at Mingshi's general store, Mingshi was indeed inside. Moreover, when Mingshi saw Qin Ge bringing his shipgirls back to his store again, his eyes immediately lit up.

She hurried over and said to Qin Ge, "Commander Qin Ge, long time no see, meow—I don't know what you need this time, meow?"

"I came this time to buy a few shipgirl textbooks and also pick up a few tech crates." Qin Ge said to Mingshi.

"Meow, I remember you should be a cadet commander, right? Why can you suddenly afford such precious items, meow?" The snack said to Brother Qin.

"I sold a few Wisdom Cubes earlier, and now I also have a steady income." Qin Ge explained to Mingshi.

"I see, then tell me what you need, and I'll fetch it for you right away, meow." Mingshi said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded, "Buy three gold-quality shipgirl textbooks—one on offense, two on defense. Also get two gold tech crates and two purple tech crates."
