Chapter 767: You Just Need to Thank Him

The time spent in the Sardinian Empire was relatively short, about the same as the Northern Union, perhaps because there are relatively few Sardinian Empire shipgirls in the Qin Ge Fleet.

After finishing the dates with Weineituo and Zala, Qin Ge completely stopped; each day he either chatted and drank tea with his shipgirls, or accompanied a few destroyers for a walk nearby.

After Bisimai finished negotiations with the Sardinian Empire, everyone immediately set off for White Eagle.

The high-ranking officials of the Sardinian Empire also understood Qin Ge's behavior, after all from the end. The Atlantic Ocean war has continued until now; Qin Ge hasn't even returned to his own port district, yet he discusses future cooperation with these formations, which is truly remarkable.

Therefore, even if he didn't spend many days in the Sardinian Empire, it's not considered rude; on the contrary, if one advises Qin Ge to stay a few more days, forcing him to waste time here, that would be rude.

On this point, the Sardinian Empire's grasp is still very accurate, perhaps because of Weineituo's influence; anyway, Qin Ge feels very good.

Leaving the Mediterranean, the command ship went full speed toward New York Harbor in White Eagle; the first stop on the way there and the last stop on the way back were both there.

On Qin Ge's command ship, among the shipgirls, White Eagle still has a slight edge; perhaps this is the tacit understanding between the cooling factions, or perhaps it's the secretary ship's arrangement.

But to Qin Ge, whoever it is, they are all existences he cherishes.

"Commander, how long are you planning to stay in White Eagle this time?" Enterprise sat beside Qin Ge, sipping coffee as she asked.

Qin Ge thought and said, "I don't know, but it probably won't be too short, nor too long; we need to give some people an explanation, after all. White Eagle is the final stop of our Atlantic Ocean voyage this time; the next chance to come here is unknown."

"Didn't you promise the Northern Union that after next year's polar ice melt, we'd go to her place to explore the secret chamber?" North Carolina, leaning against the wall, asked.

"Yes, that's right, but then we'll go through the Bering Strait, so you won't need to detour via the Atlantic." Qin Ge said.

"The Bering Strait?" North Carolina nodded; there are some fairly confidential matters she doesn't know. For example, many shipgirls know they'll go to the Northern Union next year to explore the secret chamber, but they don't know the exact route.

It's not that Qin Ge doesn't trust them; rather, telling too many people about such things is useless and makes it easy to slip up accidentally.

After all, this is also an invitation from the Northern Union, responding to their trust, which means classifying this information as secret.

"Exactly, when it gets warmer we'll visit Donghuang, then Sakura Empire, and from there we'll set out, detouring to the upper Bering Strait."

"From there we enter the Arctic Circle polar region; according to the Northern Union's information, the secret chamber is there." Qin Ge said.

"Will you also go then, Commander?" Cleveland, who was steering, turned his head to look at Qin Ge.

"Yes, the Northern Union said there's something special inside; I need to see it with my own eyes. Moreover, when I came to this world, I happened to catch the secret chamber opening; I want to see whether there's any secret inside matching my arrival." Qin Ge laughed.

"So Commander, do you still want to go home?" Enterprise asked.

"I do, but whether I can return or not is no longer important to me." Qin Ge chuckled.

"Do you like this world now, Commander?" North Carolina laughed.

Qin Ge shook his head: "No, to be precise, I should say I've grown fond of you all, fond of the time spent together; from another angle, that also counts as liking this world."

"Hehe, you've become more articulate, just like you and Louis said." North Carolina laughed, "Do you remember when you first arrived at Sun Moon Island? You were so shy back then."

"Really?" Qin Ge rubbed his chin, "I can't even recall."

"Maybe you selectively forgot; after all, that's an embarrassing history." North Carolina laughed.

Enterprise beside them couldn't help but laugh: "North Carolina, the commander back then clearly didn't have that; saying he was so shy is wrong—he was actually very upright."

Qin Ge coughed slightly, "Enterprise, how come you too?"

"Hehe, I just thought of something funny, so I couldn't help myself." Enterprise laughed, "But back then I was also quite naive; thanks to the commander's help, I managed to get past those things and become who I am today."

"Hah, no, I feel Enterprise hasn't changed at all; she's still as bold and forward‑pressing, still as confident and strong." Qin Ge laughed.

"Wow, does this count as a confession?" North Carolina laughed.

"What are you talking about, North Carolina?" Enterprise blushed.

North Carolina chuckled, "As far as I know, the commander has given out many rings lying down; Enterprise is also one of the shipgirls who's been by his side relatively long, and after going through so many battles, if we talk about feelings, they probably already know each other well."

"So, Commander, are you preparing to give Enterprise a ring this time?"

Upon hearing North Carolina mention the ring matter, everyone in the cabin looked over; even the usually confident Enterprise blushed.

Qin Ge laughed, "There's nothing to hide; in a few days we'll reach white silver, by then everyone will know, telling you beforehand doesn't matter. This time I plan to invite Enterprise, Hai Lun Na, Saint Louis, and North Carolina you."

"Eh, me too?" North Carolina exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Ge blinked, "Oh, I misspoke; I probably shouldn't have."

"Eh!" North Carolina panicked, rushed to Qin Ge's side, pushed his arm, "Really or not, Commander, don't lie to me, or I'll get angry!"

"Hah, you'll find out then, so don't rush." Qin Ge laughed.

"Well, I guess probably not." North Carolina sat beside Qin Ge, "After all, the time following the commander is short, and I also entered the path halfway."

"Hehe, don't say that, North Carolina." Saint Louis smiled as she and Hai Lun Na came down from the deck stairs; Hai Lun Na's cheeks were flushed, obviously having heard the earlier conversation.

"You should know the commander's first marriage ship is Guanghui, also someone who entered the path halfway; if the commander says he'll give you a ring, just say thank him, nothing else needed."

"Eh, that's right." North Carolina suddenly realized, stood up happily, "Thank you, Louis."

"No problem."

Qin Ge, "......"
