Chapter 369 Arrival at the Maritime Administration
"Zhang Shiping, have you heard? It seems that this defense battle will be commanded by a general staff. Wasn't it previously commanded by Director Canglong? Why is there a sudden change of person now?"
A commander said to a man standing nearby, but it always felt a bit funny to see two grown men whispering to each other.
"A change of command at the last minute? Could it be that someone from the general headquarters has arrived?" Zhang Shiping asked.
"No, the headquarters' attention is now on the front line. The pressure there is much greater than here. How could they send anyone?" the man said.
"Oh? It seems that you are well-informed. So who did you send this time ?" Zhang Shiping asked with a smile.
"I heard that it was a captain commander. Brother Zhang, do you think this is reliable? Letting a captain commander to command us, you really don't know what Director Canglong is thinking." The man said.
Zhang Shiping laughed, "What's wrong with the captain commander? As long as the tactics are excellent and we can win the battle, that's all.
Don’t forget that last year, we all went to Qin Ge’s class happily, but he was just a private soldier.”
"Instructor Qin Ge is different. He is a genius in strategy and tactics, and a big man in the future. But logically speaking, Instructor Qin Ge should be a private first class now, right?" the man said.
At this time, a man suddenly came over and said to the two of them, "You are wrong. Instructor Qin Ge is now a captain. In June of this year, he was personally awarded the rank by Commander-in-Chief Yixian of the General Headquarters.
How long has it been since you two attended class? How come you don't know this information?"
"Ah? Instructor Qin Ge has already been promoted to the rank of captain? I remember he is only 23 years old now?" Zhang Shiping asked in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that it was because he wrote a very systematic strategic and tactical textbook, and the tactics he taught helped Donghuang achieve relatively great results in Siren Tide, so he was specially awarded by the General Command."
"Indeed, in the past, our large fleet would sacrifice one or two people every year. After Instructor Qin Ge's method spread within the fleet, this number has changed significantly." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.
"Well, do you think it is possible that the commander-in-chief this time is Instructor Qin Ge?" said the first person.
Zhang Shiping and another person looked at each other and nodded, "I think it's possible. I heard that Teacher Qin Ge's large fleet is active in the tide of this competition.
Besides him, I can’t think of any other commander who can take over the defense of a city, otherwise the headquarters would not make such a strange decision.”
When several people were discussing, the whole venue suddenly became quiet. Zhang Shiping noticed and quickly looked towards the door, and saw Canglong, the chief director of the Maritime Administration, appeared there. Next to her, there was a young man in a naval commander's uniform with a fierce look on his face.
"It is indeed him." Zhang Shiping and others suddenly said, "Yes, apart from him, the commanders of these large fleets probably won't obey anyone else, right?"
The time went back to an hour ago. Outside the exclusive port of the Maritime Administration, a fleet consisting of command ships was slowly approaching.
However, before entering the port, he was stopped by two ship girls.
"Commander, which fleet are you from?" A ship girl called out via a communicator to the approaching fleet.
The command ship at the front quickly responded to the message, "Hello, I am Qin Ge, the fleet commander from the Xinghai Fleet. I am here at the Maritime Affairs Bureau to meet Director Canglong on the orders of the General Command."
The two ship girls looked at each other for a moment, because Qin Ge's words "following the orders of the general headquarters" did surprise them.
"Kolk, use the communicator to ask Director Canglong if this is true?" After Bailey cut off the communicator, he said to his partner beside him.
"Yes." Kolk nodded immediately and connected his communicator to Canglong.
"Director Canglong, if you hear me, please answer."
Canglong, who was in the office at the moment, was looking at the coastal defense map in front of him with a frown on his face. Suddenly, he heard Kolk's voice coming from the communicator, so he looked up and replied, "Got it, Kolk, what happened?"
"A large fleet came outside our port. They claimed to be from the Star Sea Fleet, and their fleet's commander, Commander Qin Ge, told me that they came to meet the director on the orders of the general command." Kolk said quickly.
"Great, I'm waiting for him." Canglong smiled, then stood up from his chair and said to the communicator as he walked, "Kolk, arrange for Commander Qin Ge to bring their large fleet into our port. I'll be there soon."
"Ah? The director is coming to greet us personally?" Kolk asked in surprise.
"Of course, okay, let's stop talking. I'll be there right away." Canglong said and hung up the communicator.
On the communicator side, Bailey looked at Kolk beside him in surprise, "Director Canglong said she would come in person?"
"Yes, and Director Canglong's tone was very urgent." Kolk said.
"Then let's let it go quickly, otherwise it will delay the director's important matter." Bailey said, and reconnected with Qin Ge's command ship through the communicator.
"Commander Qin Ge, we have just contacted the director and can let you go smoothly. Please follow me and your fleet into the port dock."
Qin Ge immediately responded, "Understood, please lead the way."
So Bailey told Kolko to continue guarding the port, and he began to sail towards the dock, leading Qin Ge's large fleet.
When Qin Ge's command ship docked at the pier, he saw Canglong walking quickly from not far away when he got off the command ship. Qin Ge turned around, nodded to Bailey who led him here, said hello, and then went to meet Canglong.
"Director Canglong, I'm here to report." Qin Ge said to Canglong with a smile.
"Haha, I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come in the end." Canglong smiled at Qin Ge.
"So what's the current situation? What arrangements have been made for me?" Qin Ge asked Canglong.
"A mobilization meeting before the war will be held soon. The commanders of various fleets will attend the meeting, and everything will be discussed at the meeting.
But before that, please come back to my office with me, and I will introduce to you the current situation of the sea area outside Shenhua City, and see if you have any good ideas. "Canglong said.
"Well, of course there is no problem." Qin Ge nodded, then looked at the members of his fleet who were gradually approaching, "So how did they arrange it?"
"I asked them to wait for you here. We are all going to the front line later." After Canglong said this, he took Qin Ge and walked towards his office.
