Chapter 819: Personnel Determined

Gangqu Commander's Office.

Qin Ge, as usual, was holding documents and reviewing them, but the difference was that besides Xianghe serving as the Secretary Ship, there were several more faction leaders in the office.

"The remodeling is progressing steadily; have the earliest batch of shipgirls completed their collective remodeling yet?" Qin Ge looked at the documents and raised his head to ask.

"Yes." Enterprise nodded, "Except for War-weary and Sheng Di Ya Ge, everyone has completed the remodeling; while rarity increased, they have also become much stronger than before."

Qin Ge nodded, "Then what progress is there regarding the remodeling of Sheng Di Ya Ge, War-weary, and Evening Shower?"

"Hai Lun Na once asked Hai Lun Na of Yujin, and the answer was what she liked most in her heart; she suggested we steer our research direction toward that aspect, and the needed remodeling blueprints and opportunities are thus."

"However, this answer is very vague, only pointing out the direction without indicating the specific process, so we are still researching. We hope this Donghuang trip can answer this question, after all, the remodeling of Anshan and Long Spring is not just done via remodeling blueprints." Enterprise replied.

"The warehouse report shows that Mingshi has gathered all the needed steel; next we can convert a batch of warships. For this batch of personnel, do you have any suggestions?"

"If we are to make a suggestion, I suggest prioritizing the consideration of Sea Legend Rank shipgirls." George V said.

"Hehe, I mean the same." Enterprise nodded, "We are the first to eat crab by converting into warships, but frankly, if we want to overall enhance our Gangqu's strength, we currently cannot do it; we can only choose the optimal solution."

"When not in warship form, the power of the Sea Legend has already been witnessed by everyone; that kind of mighty strength cannot be described in words."

"Then it follows that if they become true warships, the strength they exert should be greater than ours now. Especially since we need to go to the Northern Union's secret chamber this time, top-tier combat power is still required on site."

"So my suggestion is the same as George V's: prioritize converting Sea Legend Rank shipgirls."

"Although saying this sounds a bit self-praising, I also recommend that we convert first." Wuzang smiled, "I can feel that there is still a huge power within me that hasn't been uncovered; if activated, I would be many times stronger than before."

"Moreover, I feel that only by truly becoming a warship can we unleash the true strength of Sea Legend Rank; otherwise, merely being stronger than ultra-rare rank or highest-plan rank warships does not showcase the excellence of Sea Legend Rank."

"I too am a veteran of the fleet, but this time I still recommend Sea Legend Rank shipgirls. Actually, sometimes when measuring a fleet's strength, we look not at average combat power but at the cream of the crop."

"So I think we should convert Sea Legend Rank shipgirls to cope with any sudden crises that may arise in the future." Weineituo said, and the other few leaders meant the same.

Qin Ge nodded, "Understood, then this time, as you said, prioritize converting Sea Legend Rank warships; the next conversion quota will be distributed to each of your factions."

"Next, let's discuss the personnel for this trip to Donghuang and Sakura Empire; besides all the shipgirls of Donghuang and Sakura Empire, you few will leave some people in Gangqu, and others will follow me to the secret chamber."

"Just as you said earlier, after converting the Sea Legend Rank warships this time, I will bring all of them, including when I will consult with Yujin to bring two or three of them."

"So that means the current matter is about guarding Gangqu, right?" Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled.

Qin Ge nodded, "Yes, although I really want to take you with me, Gangqu's various developments have also reached a critical moment, so someone must stay on duty in Gangqu."

"Then who is the Commander's pick?" Enterprise asked.

"Me?" Qin Ge pondered, "To be frank, I also have some hesitation about this. Like you now, Enterprise and Wuzang are responsible for Gangqu's communications research and various affairs; Bisimai and Emperor Frederick are responsible for the experimental field's matters; Soviet Russia and George V are responsible for academy affairs; after reckoning, only Weineituo and Lisailiu are relatively idle."

"So if I were to say, Enterprise, Emperor Frederick, and George V will stay on guard in Gangqu, while the others will follow me to Donghuang."

"Emperor Frederick? Didn't the Commander say we would bring all Sea Legend Rank shipgirls? Why leave Emperor Frederick to guard the experimental field?" Ou Gen Qin Wang asked.

Qin Ge chuckled, "Bisimai and Emperor Frederick must make a certain choice; as our Gangqu, we naturally still need a Sea Legend to hold down the fort here."

"Bisimai's personality is rather stern, so I'm afraid she cannot make the whole fleet willingly submit. However, Emperor Frederick has no such concern; if any unexpected situation arises, I think she would be much better here."

"That's also true." George V chuckled, "Although our Royal and Iron Blood factions previously had some friction, speaking objectively, Emperor Frederick is indeed more suited to stay behind the scenes than Bisimai."

"Although this time Royal cannot go together with the Commander, please Commander, be sure to bring a few maids for close attendance, so that our people in Gangqu can also rest easy."

"Hehe, you Royals really leave no stone unturned, even starting to think of ways in this aspect." Ou Gen Qin Wang smiled.

"Isn't that so? Compared to attending to the Commander, who would be as skilled as Belfast and her companions?" George V said.

Qin Ge cleared his throat, "A few are unnecessary; I'll just bring Belfast, and the other maids should stay to look after Yinlishabai and company."

"That works too." George V nodded, her goal being clear: Qin Ge must have someone from Royal by his side; who exactly doesn't matter, as long as he sees them and is reminded of Royal.

"I have no opinion on this person; staying in Gangqu is also a form of support for the fleet." Enterprise shook her head and said.

"We also have no opinion." Others said likewise.

Qin Ge nodded, "Since everyone has no opinion, that's how we decide; once all Sea Legends have completed warship conversion, we will set out for Donghuang."

"So those who will depart soon should prepare well; additionally, after the people of Donghuang and Sakura Empire leave, the remaining personnel should also assign their posts properly."

"Understood."
