Chapter 900: Intelligence Summary

Just as Sakura Empire was celebrating Victory, Weineituo was also leading people through the Suez Canal.

"We're about to enter the Mediterranean Sea, everyone get ready to enter combat status." Weineituo shouted on the Tencent channel.

"Are we being overly cautious, or perhaps too anxious? Now all the Sirens in the Mediterranean are besieging the Sardinian forces; they shouldn't have deployed much defensive force here." Vittorio's voice appeared.

"I actually think Lord Weineituo is correct." The Duke of Abruzzi said, "Regardless of whether there are enemies ahead, we should stay vigilant, because once we enter the Mediterranean, the distance to the Sardinian forces' range becomes very close."

We could appear behind the Siren Mass-Produced Fleet at any time; as long as we stay ready for battle, we can then launch a surprise attack, coordinating with the Sardinian Empire forces to pincer and annihilate this Siren fleet, achieving the purpose of support.

"Hehe, don't be so serious, I'm just joking; after advancing this long a distance, isn't it just for this moment?" Vittorio laughed.

"After all, this is the Sardinian Empire's first time carrying out such a far-reaching support mission; although the last time we also conducted oceanic operations together with the Commander, that was under the Commander's leadership."

"Now the situation could be different; this time we, the Sardinian camp, are executing the mission alone, so we must do well, so that our camp's standing in the Commander's heart can be greatly increased." Weineituo smiled.

"Hehe, truly worthy of being the Commander's Marriage Ship, your thoughts are so thorough, Weineituo." Romeo laughed and said.

"This has nothing to do with the Commander's Marriage Ship; spreading Sardinia's prestige across this sea area—isn't that our long-held dream? Now we are about to reach the moment when that dream is realized, so everyone must absolutely not let down their guard." Weineituo said.

"Yes."

Just as Weineituo was apparently conducting a pre-deployment mobilization, Qin Ge in the Gangqu was listening to the battle report transmitted back from Sakura Empire.

"Commander, this Sakura Empire support operation was highly successful; the attack destroyed hundreds of Siren warships, estimated to have saved the lives of hundreds of Sakura Empire commanders, and now the Siren Mass-Produced Fleet throughout Sakura Empire has been brought under control."

"There is also something I need to tell you: Zhang Men said in the report that we are preparing to dispatch a shipgirl squad to be stationed in Sakura Empire's Public Port, and this matter will be entirely handled by the Sakura Empire camp, implementing a monthly rotation system."

"The first month's picks are Qinglong, Feilong, Beifeng, Fengyun, and Atago; next month we will dispatch a Sakura Empire shipgirl squad from the Gangqu to rotate, ensuring that if Sakura Empire encounters a crisis, we have a force there."

"Moreover, Sakura Empire is relatively close to Donghuang; if Donghuang encounters a crisis, we can also provide support from Sakura Empire."

"Additionally, the Bohai Bay battle in Donghuang is still ongoing; Zhang Men inquired whether we should conduct support."

Giuseppe looked at the document in his hand and reported to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge blinked and said, "Oh, stationing in the Public Port? I didn't expect it to go this smoothly, but did Sakura Empire really agree? Or is it mandatory?"

"After all, the Public Port now is essentially just a show, representing one's willingness to cooperate and not rejecting others' cooperation. Since all major camps are under Siren harassment, basically no one would dispatch a shipgirl squad to another camp's Public Port to stand by unless absolutely necessary."

"That said, the Public Port now could only possibly have Qin Ge dispatching personnel to move in."

"According to the data, they informed us using a very euphemistic phrasing, and it was also approved by the other party's Zhang Men." Giuseppe said.

"That's right; Sakura Empire, after suffering two successive blows, had not yet fully recovered its combat power when it was struck again—now is a time of shortage, and having our fleet stationed in the Public Port to provide them with an extra layer of protection is also a good thing." Qin Ge nodded.

"Moreover, using a euphemistic phrasing can guarantee the relationship won't deteriorate. Getting back to the point, looking at the battle report that came in today from the communications office, what exactly is the situation in Donghuang?"

"The Donghuang front line is in a state of strict defense, or rather primarily defensive. Utilizing Awakened Shipgirls in conjunction with shore defense cannons, plus the defensive line formed by the Commander, the defense holds up fine."

"After all, although the main thrust of this operation is Sakura Empire, the Donghuang side is merely delaying their footsteps, which counts as harassment." Giuseppe said.

Qin Ge nodded and said, "Notify them—when they return, if necessary, go to Donghuang as a guest. Isn't there a batch of steel soon to be shipped from Donghuang? That would be a good opportunity to provide escort."

"Understood, I will convey that to them." Giuseppe said.

"By the way, how is the situation over at the Sardinian Empire?" Qin Ge asked, "In Weineituo's shipping reports over the past two days, it shows how far they are from the Sardinian Empire."

"According to the report sent last night, they are in the Red Sea; today they should be crossing the Suez Canal to reach the Mediterranean Sea, possibly leading to battle soon." Giuseppe said.

"It looks like the speed is quite fast, but I still thought it would take more time." Qin Ge laughed.

"Lord Weineituo basically follows what the Commander previously said, trying to avoid excessive contact with those Siren fleets on the sea surface, so the battle won't slow them down; they are basically following the set route, which is why they're so fast." Giuseppe explained.

"Hmm, notify Weineituo, and at that time also emulate Zhang Men's approach, be a bit more euphemistic, and let one of our fleets stay in the Sardinian Empire's Public Port."

"If battle occurs there, we can also launch a swift sortie from there." Qin Ge said.

"Should we then continue to send a few more shipgirl squads over there? If it's just a single shipgirl squad, encountering a full-scale offensive might leave them flustered." Giuseppe said.

"With the Sardinian Empire setting this example, I believe other camps will also consider this issue; when the time comes, dispatching corresponding fleets to other camps' Public Ports and maintaining liaison support will suffice." Qin Ge smiled.

"Understood, when Lord Weineituo reports the battle today, I will convey the Commander's thoughts to her." Giuseppe said.

"Hmm, pay attention to timely exchange of concrete intelligence with all camps, fully grasping the Sirens' attack intentions in this world, so that our Gangqu can thereafter have sufficient initiative in battle."

"The current moment is different from before; with our Gangqu's grasp, when we have such strength, we should also slightly step forward to take up the position of standard-bearer." Qin Ge smiled.

"Hehe, indeed, in this world besides us, no one can serve as standard-bearer." Giuseppe said.

"Then that's it for today; report any new developments to me promptly."

"Yes, Commander."
