Chapter 938: White Eagle's Discussion

Petropavlovsk Harbor.

At White Eagle's resting place, the main force of the 58th Task Force is currently gathering in a room.

"Bunker Hill, why did you agree with Tiancheng's opinion and come directly here, instead of going into the stronghold to have a look? This battle was so fierce that the Cleansers and Testers, in order to protect this place, all self-destructed; there might be some good stuff inside."

Washington questioned Bunker Hill.

Bunker Hill glanced at Washington, speaking calmly, "And then?"

'"Um..." Washington, who originally had an imposing aura, was left speechless by Bunker Hill's question.'

"Washington, I think Bunker Hill is right. No matter how long our support's journey has been in this battle, the final showdown of this battle was not fought by us."

"Moreover, haven't you seen? Tiancheng and the others have already become like that, coming out to greet us; isn't the meaning they're expressing obvious?" North Carolina said.

"That's right, when a faction is at its most embarrassed, would you let your arch-enemy-like companion see? Besides, we originally didn't help much, and we have even less reason to go into the stronghold to explore." Ticonderoga said.

"Tsk, just thinking that all the resources there will be taken by Sakura Empire, we made this trip for nothing, and I always feel indignant about it." Washington said.

"Heh, have you ever thought about where these things will end up?" Baltimore said helplessly.

"Of course... the Gangqu..." Washington hesitated, then muttered resentfully.

"Yes, no matter how much supplies or technological resources there are this time, all resources will eventually be transferred back to the Gangqu. In the end, it's merely that Sakura Empire will prioritize distribution, or obtain somewhat more resources, but White Eagle will definitely not get less."

"So rather than doing those annoying things, it's better to return here and wait for Sakura Empire's triumphant return. We'll then send our own blessings; this will not only bring the two factions closer, but also make them feel guilty for scheming against us."

"Why not do something like this? Why must we insist on being the villain?" North Carolina laughed.

'"Um... you're right, I'm the only one who's the villain." Washington sat down helplessly to one side, looking as if there were no problem anymore.'

The others laughed helplessly; they were already used to Washington's personality.

"Let's stop joking here; next we need to discuss the strategy for the North Pacific, we must strive to gain some benefits from it, otherwise this trip would have been in vain." Bunker Hill said.

"That's right, this is exactly the issue we should be considering now." North Carolina approved.

"What do you think Sakura Empire will allocate?" Cleveland asked.

"Given Sakura Empire's unwillingness to suffer a loss, they'll probably have us play a supporting role, right?" Washington said, rolling his eyes.

"Heh, quite the opposite; given Sakura Empire's unwillingness to suffer a loss, they'll definitely have you play the main force." Ticonderoga laughed.

"I think you're also viewing Sakura Empire too negatively. Although they used us this time, this is also an opportunity for us to perform in front of the commander; otherwise our usual reports would only state what the White Eagle faction did somewhere, rather than what the 58th Task Squad led by Bunker Hill did."

"So I think this time Sakura Empire is unlikely to compete with us for credit, since they already hold the vast majority of it; thus they'll more likely give us a supporting role, after all our combat power is currently intact, while after this big battle how much intact combat power can Sakura Empire possibly have?"

"What they need now is rest and recuperation; they had already figured this out earlier, otherwise they wouldn't have initially thought of using us. Isn't it maximization for a single faction to consume the entire maritime domain's credit?" North Carolina analyzed.

"I agree with North Carolina's view; I also think Sakura Empire will do that, unless they're really crazy, then they'd have us support them." Bunker Hill said calmly.

"Quite possible." Baltimore said.

"Just then, the one leaning by the window who had been watching Benson turned his head and said to the people chatting, 'Sakura Empire's main force fleet has returned!'"

"The people chatting all stood up at once, surged to the window in an instant, and looked toward the harbor."

"There, the flags of Sakura Empire and the Gangqu were waving; huge warships slowly entered the harbor at sea, and upon reaching the harbor, those huge warships turned into blue radiance, disappearing into the bodies of the individual shipgirls."

"Although each shipgirl looked somewhat exhausted, that indomitable aura also made every White Eagle shipgirl unable to help but take notice."

"Looks like it'll be tonight." Gazing at the setting sun, Bunker Hill turned his head and said.

"Hmm, but frankly speaking, this battle was also quite astonishing—two elite Siren humanoids, a victory this world has never achieved before." North Carolina said.

"Putting it on our White Eagle, we could also defeat them!" Washington said disdainfully.

"Now, no matter which faction in our Gangqu, there is a certain chance, but opportunities like this are rare to encounter. We could indeed defeat them, but unfortunately we cannot meet them." Princeton said.

"That's right, such a victory certainly requires some luck, but we do have luckye, I believe luck will definitely roll toward us!" North Carolina laughed.

"Heh..."

"On another side, Tiancheng and Wuzang, etc., finally met."

"You've worked hard, Commander Zhang Men, Commander Wuzang, Commander Xinong."

"You've also worked hard, Tiancheng." Wuzang smiled; although his smile bore a hint of fatigue, it still carried that same dignity.

"How are the White Eagle people now?"

"They haven't said much, haven't lost their temper, haven't caused trouble; since returning last night, they've been resting at the arranged place, presumably they're also waiting for you to return."

"Heh, looks like there are also smart people among White Eagle." Wuzang smiled.

"Commander Wuzang, although White Eagle has always been the military representative in our Gangqu, that doesn't mean their thinking is not sharp."

"I know these things; then, are the victory banquet and the welcoming feast prepared for tonight?" Wuzang asked.

"Prepared; after receiving your message this morning, I've been making preparations all along, and I will certainly not disappoint the several commanders, nor will I let our White Eagle companions down." Tiancheng smiled.

"Then that's good; let everyone go rest a bit, and we'll all attend the banquet together tonight." Wuzang said.

"Understood, Commander Wuzang!"
