~6 min read 1,195 words

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye four or five days had passed. On this day, while Qin Ge was handling affairs, a knocking sound came from outside.

Qin Ge raised his head and saw Brave, the secretary ship, running over. After opening the door, a figure walked in.

"Huh, Casablanca?" Brave looked at Casablanca outside the door, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to report to the commander," Casablanca said.

"You can tell me what it is, and I'll inform the commander. He's busy right now," Brave said.

"It's about the reply from the Sakura Empire and Royal fleets we sent out earlier. I need to explain it directly to the commander," Casablanca said.

"I see. Then come in with me," Brave said, and led Casablanca inside.

Qin Ge raised his head, looked at Casablanca, and asked, "Casablanca, what's the matter?"

"Reporting to the commander, we've received news from the front line," Casablanca said.

"The front line? Oh, is it Wuzang and King George V?" Qin Ge perked up.

"Yes, they almost simultaneously reported to the port area the location of the supplies drop and have found a site for the temporary base," Casablanca said.

"Oh, where exactly? Let me take a look," Qin Ge said.

Casablanca opposite him quickly took out a map, spread it in front of Qin Ge, and pointed, saying, "According to the message sent back by the Sakura Empire, they chose the largest island in the Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal Island."

"Its area is about 6,475 square kilometers, and indigenous Melanesians were also found on the island. Precisely because we communicated with the natives, we decided to place the temporary base on Guadalcanal Island."

"The natives? What's their situation now? Will they pose a threat to us in future defenses?" Qin Ge asked quickly.

"No, according to the information sent back by Wuzang, these natives live in the island's north, while we need to set up the temporary base in the island's southeast, so it won't interfere with our normal mission execution.

"And once we have our temporary base there, they will live more safely," Casablanca replied.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "What about the Royal fleet? How are they doing in the Marshall Islands?"

"According to the message from King George V, they are now on Ebeye Island in the Marshall Islands. The island covers 360,000 square meters and is uninhabited, so there won't be the same situation as with the Sakura Empire," Casablanca said.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "I understand, Casablanca. Notify Wuzang and King George V. I'll immediately send personnel with supplies over, letting them leave one or two people behind to wait on site, while the others follow the original plan to collect combat data."

"Understood, commander. I'll go notify them right away," Casablanca said, gave Qin Ge a salute, and left the office.

Watching Casablanca's departing figure, Qin Ge turned to Brave beside him and said, "Brave, inform the Sakura Empire's Tiancheng and the Royal fleet's Hood to come to my office quickly."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Brave nodded quickly and immediately went to deliver the message.

Qin Ge smiled and then continued handling his unfinished affairs.

Not long after, Tiancheng and Hood appeared in Qin Ge's office.

"My lord, did you call us over urgently because of the front line?" Tiancheng said bluntly.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "Wuzang and King George V have already found places in the Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands where we can set up a temporary port area. Our port area must therefore act quickly to transport supplies and building materials to them.

So I will arrange this matter for you; one person will be responsible for the Sakura Empire temporary base in the Solomon Islands, and the other person will be responsible for the Royal temporary base in the Marshall Islands.

Materials can be applied for directly at our warehouse; as for the escort fleet, you can arrange it yourselves. Send as many ships as possible; if needed, you can have Yujin and them provide escort.

Understood, but we still have many ships in our Gangqu, so we don't really need to trouble Yujin and them. Please rest assured, Commander, we will deliver the supplies and materials in a timely manner. Hood smiled.

There is still one issue: after we transport the supplies there, should we return to the Gangqu, or join the Front Line troops there?

Qin Ge thought and said, "You ask about the Front Line pressure; if the pressure is not great, then you return to the Gangqu; if the Front Line pressure is relatively great, then leave a few people, and the rest return together with the transport ship."

"Understood, my lord." Tiancheng nodded, "Then which position have they chosen?"

Qin Ge pointed at the map on the table and said, "The Sakura Empire temporary base is located on the largest island of the Solomon Islands, to the southeast of Guadalcanal Island. As for the Royal temporary base, it is on Ebeye Island in the Marshall Islands; after you arrange the route, let me know."

"Yes, Commander."

After the two quickly responded, they swiftly went down to organize the personnel for this Sortie, and also design the materials needed for the corresponding base, and submit the relevant applications.

Before the afternoon, all the materials had already been loaded onto the transport ship, and the personnel escorting the supplies had also assembled.

The Sakura Empire dispatched Akagi and Kaga, plus Tiancheng in overall charge; the vanguard personnel were Atago, Kitakaze, Agano, and a few others.

As for the Royal side, they dispatched Hood, Glory, Banrenma, York, Aidingbao, Huoti, and a few others.

After everything was packed up, the two notified Qin Ge, and then Qin Ge saw everyone off at the port.

He didn't say much else; mostly just words like "take care" and "be careful on the road". Afterwards, watching everyone set sail, when they slowly drifted out of the Gangqu and disappeared from sight, Qin Ge returned to the Gangqu.

Just as he returned to his room, the House Door was knocked on.

Qin Ge stepped forward to open the door, but unexpectedly found Ou Gen Qin Wang standing outside.

"When did you come back?" Qin Ge exclaimed in surprise.

"Just now, while the Gangqu was busy, I brought back a few teams of Manju." Ou Gen Qin Wang said, "By the way, Commander standing here, are you not letting me in?"

Qin Ge helplessly smiled, turned sideways to make space, "Come in, how's the situation there?"

"Everything is progressing steadily; probably in about a year we can see the results." Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

Qin Ge froze for a moment, "Results?"

"Yes, this time I actually brought back not only the Manju but also the Persian Cat Sauce and Friedrich's invitation." Ou Gen Qin Wang gave a mysterious smile, "Commander, didn't you say you wanted to go check out the test field? How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Qin Ge thought, "The Front Line matters have temporarily settled for now, and the Gangqu doesn't have any major affairs, so tomorrow could work."

"Hmm, then it's decided like that."
