Chapter 727

Good morning~ oh, no, it's already noon now. Bisimai, how have the negotiations with Royal been these past two days?

In the second-floor lounge, Weineituo watched Bisimai pass by his side, smiling and greeting him.

Bisimai paused for a moment, his gaze quickly sweeping the entire lounge; seeing that other seats were already taken, he immediately sat down opposite Weineituo.

"Royal's sincerity this time is highly satisfactory; they are not only interested in research vessels, but also in the information left by the Ashes and the corresponding technology, and the conditions they proposed are quite satisfactory." Bisimai said lightly.

Weineituo nodded. "After this Siren Tide, our Gangqu has indeed grasped some things that are extremely rare for other factions, and the commander's intention is very clear: as long as other factions are willing, we should be happy to share these with them."

"The commander said that, but I'm the one conducting this negotiation; for the sake of our Fleet's development, I think we need to be stricter." Bisimai said.

At that moment, a figure approached Bisimai carrying two cups of black tea, placed one in front of him, and then sat down beside him.

"I also feel that we must show a certain sincerity before we can proceed with further cooperation." The person said with a smile.

"Oh, George V, the ones we are negotiating with this time are Royal; shouldn't you be advising Bisimai to lower her standards a bit at this point?" Weineituo looked at the seated King George V and exclaimed in surprise.

King George V waved his hand indifferently, saying, "This Royal is not that Royal; for me now, the Royal within the Fleet is my allegiance. Although this place can arouse my fondness, it does not mean my allegiance lies here."

"Just like when you go to the Sardinian Empire later and the commander entrusts you to negotiate with its people, do you think you would harm our Fleet's interests?"

"Of course not." Weineituo replied immediately.

"Hehe, isn't that right?" King George V smiled. "However, I think the probability of such a situation occurring is very small; by then, it will likely still be Bisimai stepping forward. After all, in Gangqu, those responsible for cutting-edge research are mainly the Iron Blood shipgirls."

Bisimai shook his head. "Everyone is working hard for the Fleet's development, just like the recent coastal defense, which has always been handled by Royal and White Eagle."

"Hehe, that's right." Weineituo smiled, then, thinking of something, looked at Bisimai and said, "According to the current progress, how much longer will it take to settle all the items? Our schedule is a bit tight; we must return to Guandao before the Spring Festival."

Bisimai and King George V naturally understood what Weineituo meant; Qin Ge is a Donghuang person, and the Spring Festival is extremely important to him every year, so no matter what, he must return to Gangqu before the Spring Festival.

"I've more or less finished the talks here; I also mentioned earlier that our side is very sincere this time, which is a good start to cooperation." Bisimai said, "Next we just wait for Enterprise and Royal to finish discussing the communications and envoy issues, and then it will be fine."

"Then it should be soon." Weineituo said thoughtfully.

At that moment, Zala walked over laughing and sat beside Weineituo, asking, "What's soon?"

"Most of the items to be discussed have already been settled by the time we leave Royal." Weineituo said.

"Oh." Zala chuckled, "But I think we'll stay a few more days."

"Huh? What happened? Was it the commander who said that?" Bisimai wondered.

Zala shook his head. "The commander didn't say it outright, but haven't you noticed anything? Or haven't you heard any rumors these past two days?"

Weineituo and Bisimai exchanged glances and both involuntarily shook their heads. Bisimai, being recently in charge of negotiations with Royal, hadn't paid attention to what was happening in the Fleet; Weineituo, on the other hand, generally doesn't care much about such matters and is usually rather lax.

Beside, the English King George V blinked his eyes, "I have heard something, but I haven't confirmed it. So, Miss Zala, could you trouble yourself to tell us specifically?"

"Of course." Zala smiled slightly, then lowered her voice and said, "The commander went to Mingshi two days ago, spending a large sum of red points to buy a batch of things."

And these past few days he has been dating Royal fleet girls, starting with Banrenma, then Luodenni, and also Ou ruo la and some others—all people who have spent relatively more time with the commander.

Every time they return from a date, I notice that the way they look at the commander has changed slightly; the feeling conveyed in that gaze is exactly the same as Miss Guanghui's.

Zala stopped speaking at this point; everyone present was smart. Believing they could already guess something from her words, she saw no point in continuing.

So you're saying the commander bought a batch of Oath Rings at Mingshi? He's currently taking the opportunity of arriving at the Royal to give these rings to the Royal fleet girls?" Weineituo exclaimed in surprise.

More or less, do you still remember that first day when the commander gave his second Oath Ring to Belfast?" Zala smiled.

I remember." Bisimai nodded, then recalled that day Ou Gen Qin Wang's happy expression—she rarely saw Ou Gen Qin Wang show such an expression.

So everyone in the Fleet believes that after this Siren Tide battle, the commander has realized something and is preparing to face everyone's feelings head-on.

For someone like him, achieving this is already very difficult, so everyone has developed an unspoken understanding, pretending this never happened, so as not to make the commander feel embarrassed or awkward." Zala said with a laugh.

Hehe, when in the Royal, dating Royal fleet girls, then in other factions it will be the turn of other fleet girls?" Weineituo said, then raised his head with some doubt, looking at Bisimai and speaking.

Bisimai, you've been by the commander's side for quite a while; you say, if we go to Iron Blood, will the commander take you out on a date and give you an Oath Ring?

Bisimai's hand holding the teacup trembled, and she immediately put the cup on the table, saying, "Before worrying about this, first think about yourself—you've been with the commander longer than I have."

After saying that, Bisimai stood up, turned around, and walked toward the outside of the lounge.

Watching Bisimai's figure gradually disappear from the lounge, Zala couldn't help but smile slightly, "It seems even someone as calm as Bisimai would panic when faced with this issue."
