Chapter 884: Temporary Base Construction

The brave speed is still very fast, especially the message sent out using Qin Ge's office telephone. Not long after, the other several faction high-level officials also appeared one after another in Qin Ge's office.

After the last Weineituo arrived at the office, Qin Ge glanced at the people sitting or standing and said, "Everyone's here, right?"

"Reporting commander, the high-level leaders of our Gangqu faction have basically all arrived," Enterprise replied.

"Hmm, everyone's here, then let's talk about what comes next." Qin Ge set down the documents in his hand, looked at everyone and said, "Today Enterprise reported something to me, which I believe you've also heard a little about. When Scharnhorst returned earlier, he said the Purifiers had left the experimental site, and the experimental agency is preparing to take action."

Also earlier today, Commander Wang Yueqin, while patrolling the eastern sea area, took a photo of a new type of Siren mass-produced warship. It is estimated that this new type of Siren mass-produced warship should be a more advanced model; since we haven't had any concrete engagement yet, we also don't know where their focus lies, so afterward we not only need to obtain firsthand information, but also further strengthen Gangqu's defenses and patrol the defense zone.

Although this time the experimental agency's target is not us, we must not have any negligence in this regard. Moreover, based on this, we need to establish a reinforcement assault team based on ships.

First, ensure that whenever any emergency occurs, we can organize strong Combat Power to eliminate it. Second, concerning the previously signed alliance with other factions, if another faction encounters a crisis, we can also set out from Guandao at any time to go rescue and reinforce.

Of course, besides that, there's also good news: the research ship blueprint plan we prepared earlier is now complete, and the research ship blueprints of all major factions are currently with me. Among them, the Sakura Empire, Iron Blood, Royal, and Iris factions each have a decisive battle plan, while every other faction has the highest plan.

So our next plan is to summon these research ship girls as soon as possible. If you have any opinions or suggestions regarding this, please feel free to raise them.

I want to ask a question: is the commander planning for our Gangqu to adopt a defensive strategy or an offensive strategy in the future? George V asked.

I intend for our Gangqu's future positioning to be an active defense strategy.

The so-called active defense strategy means protecting Gangqu while also taking into account the supply lines of all factions to Gangqu. You also know that Gangqu currently has three supply lines: one is Donghuang, one is Sakura Empire, and another comes from the Northern Union.

However, considering that the Northern Union's supply line can only support until September, we are mainly focusing on those two supply lines to ensure Gangqu's steel quantity.

Additionally, we will also take into account the defenses of other factions, forming a joint defense network. After we get through this period of strengthening our strength, we will then proceed with a full-scale offensive strategy.

But in that case, the opportunity for research ship girls to accumulate proficiency would be relatively low. Weineituo said.

No, I think not only will it not be less, but it will be even more. Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

I understand the commander's meaning; although this time the experimental agency is not targeting us, it is targeting other factions, so our main future combat route will be to assist other factions as the primary focus.

And such long-distance expedition opportunities are exactly the best chance to accumulate research ship experience. We will head to the most dangerous battlefield to conduct higher-intensity combat, which is far more efficient than before when we aimlessly searched for Siren Fleets at sea.

So is this what the commander means by active defense strategy? But if the experimental agency's pressure on each faction isn't as strong as we imagined, what then? We can't possibly wait for the Sirens to attack other factions before we deploy, right? Lisailiu asked.

Actually, this is also easy to handle; I recall that the South Pacific region and the Indian Ocean region are blind spots for all factions, right? We can station several fleets there to set up a temporary port, which can completely substitute for our support during the gap in support time.

Yixian's suggestion can definitely be tried; establishing a temporary base in the Solomon Islands, which is relatively close to us, would allow us to support or return at any time, opening up the South Pacific battlefield for us and giving us more space and advantage. Ou Gen Qin Wang nodded and said.

Yes, especially after we upgrade to warships, our abilities have been greatly strengthened; the commander can actually regard us as fully fledged warships, and we can then conduct full-scale combat in the form of tactical squads. Soviet Russia said.

Actually, I think the reason Sirens have appeared in this world is also to give us a kind of help; we must not disappoint their expectations. Wuzang smiled.

Qin Ge chuckled, "Indeed, it's not hard to imagine what the Sirens want to do at this point; then let's follow Yixian's suggestion."

All the wild beasts in Gangqu have been moved to the nearby islands to establish a public port. So, Ou Gen Qin Wang, you next contact the experimental field to have them send back two teams of wild beasts.

Because Enterprise is responsible for patrolling Gangqu and constructing the public port, while Iron Blood is responsible for the work at the experimental field, the construction of the temporary port will be entrusted to you, Sakura Empire and Royal.

Regarding the layout of the new temporary base, do you two have any good suggestions.

I think we can adopt a stepping-stone style for temporary base construction, for example, toward the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific direction, and the Marshall Islands. George V said, having a map of the world's seas memorized.

This suggestion is good; the Marshall Islands are to the east of Gangqu, in the southern part of the central Pacific, while the Solomon Islands are to the southeast, which can perfectly form a triangular angle with Gangqu, enabling mutual support and coordination.

Moreover, the islands there are numerous; even if we encounter relatively large waves, we can go ashore to avoid danger, making it very suitable for setting up a temporary base. Enterprise nodded.

Then we will adopt George V's suggestion, with Sakura Empire and Royal each choosing a direction, leading a fleet to first go to those two locations to conduct reconnaissance, find suitable sites for setting up a temporary base, and then later contact Gangqu to transport supplies. Qin Ge said.

Understood, commander! Wuzang and George V said.

As for the other factions, you can also choose to join either Sakura Empire or Royal, while maintaining relatively stable Combat Power, relying on the temporary base to accumulate proficiency in the research blueprints.

This time we do not demand very high speed; this time what we need more is stability. Qin Ge added.

Hmm, if that's the case, then we'll go prepare. Wuzang said.

Alright, I will now hand over each faction's research ship blueprints to you.
