Chapter 876

Looking at Shanenhuosite's departing figure, Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Hai Lun Na, who was drinking tea nearby, and said, "By logic, Antikesi's current target should only be us, right? Why would they say Antikesi's target this time is not us?"

Commander, there is one thing you must remember clearly: the Experimental Agency and the Arbitration Agency belong to different departments. Although they both belong to Andiks, their responsibilities are completely different.

Antikesi's Experimental Agency has global limitations, but the Arbiter's Arbitration Agency has none. The current situation is that the Arbitration Agency has set its sights on us, while Antikesi's Experimental Agency still needs to continue conducting experiments worldwide.

Although, as you said, the other experimental targets are actually not as strong as our fleet, we can still obtain a lot of experimental data from them.

Moreover, compared to experimenting with them, experimenting with us incurs a much higher cost. I estimate that a large part of their resources has already been conscripted by the Arbitration Agency, so they lack the ability to organize a plan to launch experiments against our port area. Hai Lun Na explained.

Qin Ge rubbed his chin and said, "Interesting. If I remind the other major factions to pay attention, would Antikesi's experimental plan then be impossible to succeed?"

No, the Observer is adept at seeing through human nature, and the major factions are not completely harmonious; there are also some conflicts of interest among them. As long as we slightly sow discord and stir up trouble among them, the situation where each minds their own business is likely to occur.

Moreover, after the previous great battle, this time each faction will be very restrained; they will not reveal their trump cards until the final moment. Therefore what we can see will be a prolonged stalemate just like before. Hai Lun Na explained.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but as a collaborator I think I need to inform them. Moreover, the envoys of the major factions have also come, and I believe the envoys of Donghuang and Sakura Empire will also arrive in the next two days."

At that point, it will be necessary to convene a meeting between the leaders of the major factions; now it is no longer an era where each faction minds their own business, and the previous Siren Tide served as a warning.

These are all the Commander's decisions; you just need to think it through. Moreover, given your current position and strength, you are qualified to say these things, and perhaps it could even promote unity in this world. Hai Lun Na smiled.

Qin Ge chuckled and said, "Promote unity in this world? I'm afraid I don't have that much power yet."

I think we can try; when we unite the scattered forces into one, only then will we have greater strength to oppose our enemies. Hai Lun Na laughed.

Alright, I'll try then," Qin Ge said. "By the way, later I want to go to Yinlishabai's for a tea party; are you going?"

I won't go; occasions like those meant for elegant women don't suit me. I'll still go to the research center later; the development of the Commander's water-surface navigation device mentioned earlier is almost complete, and perhaps it will be finished in the next two days—I should go to do a quality check. Hai Lun Na stood up and said.

Qin Ge nodded interestedly and said, "To be honest, I'm also somewhat impatient; a device that can glide on water must be quite exciting."

Hehe, but gliding on water is different from walking; in situations where one doesn't need to go into the water, it's better for the Commander to stay on the command ship. Hai Lun Na said.

That's true, but after having this, if the command ship runs into trouble or enters waters where it cannot navigate, then no one needs to carry me on their back. You should know I'm also a big man; being constantly carried by you would be embarrassing. Qin Ge rubbed his nose and said.

Hehe, I don't feel that way. Hai Lun Na said.

Well, let's leave it at that for now; we'll talk about it again once the device is completed. Qin Ge said.

Mm.

After finishing today's work and patrolling the Gangqu, Qin Ge came to Yinlishabai's residence.

This is a palace built in the Gangqu with a very British style; it used to be a resting place for Royal shipgirls, and after Yinlishabai was summoned, the Royal shipgirls also arranged her residence here.

"You're too slow, commoner! After receiving my invitation, you refused again and again, and this time you're even late—truly lacking any courtesy." Yinlishabai said, watching Qin Ge walk into the tea party venue, with a hint of complaint.

Qin Ge smiled and didn't take Yinlishabai's words to heart; after all, his several Marriage Ship girls and the shipgirls he gets along with had already explained Yinlishabai's somewhat arrogant personality to him, fearing he might become angry over it in future interactions.

"There are many affairs in the Gangqu; basically, I have to be involved in deciding the major matters, so I've missed several meetings. Today it's because Scharnhorst returned from the test field, gave me some instructions, wasting more time, so I'll apologize here first." Qin Ge said with a smile, his tone very polite yet not overly humble.

"Hmph, since you've said all that, I'll graciously forgive you." Yinlishabai said, then glanced sideways at Belfast, who was chuckling to the side, "Belfast, show him a seat."

Belfast bowed and said, "Yes, Queen."

She then turned and came to Qin Ge's side, "Master, please come this way."

Qin Ge took his seat under Belfast's service, and Hood, sitting beside Yinlishabai, looked over and said, "Commander, did Scharnhorst return because something happened at the test field?"

"Indeed, something has happened." Qin Ge nodded. "The Purifiers have left the test field, and Anticlocks' new round of experiments is about to begin, though this time the targets are mainly not us but several other major factions. Still, we can't let our guard down, for who knows what Anticlocks are thinking?"

Moreover, the production of the plan ships is proceeding smoothly; the progress on the blueprints is also going very well, and we should be able to obtain the new plan ship blueprints next month.

Also, when she returned, she encountered envoys from the various major factions along the Atlantic Ocean coast on the way, so from tomorrow onward our schedule will be even tighter.

"What a busy autumn, we hadn't even had a year of peace before another battle began." Guanghui said gloomily.

Qin Ge smiled and said, "This is unavoidable; as long as we don't completely defeat Anticlocks in this world, the world won't find peace."

Fortunately, our fleet's strength has greatly increased this time; even if some unexpected situations arise, we can handle them. As long as the arbitration organ doesn't get involved, it won't be our turn to suffer difficulties.

"Indeed, then let's enjoy this hard-won peaceful afternoon; perhaps for a long time to come, such a life will be a luxury." Hood said with a smile.

"Hmm."
