Chapter 384 Returning Home
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Qin Ge." This was Yorktown and Essex's first reaction after seeing Qin Ge.
The commander who had attracted the attention of the nine camps looked a little haggard at the moment, but such haggardness still could not hinder his edge.
The two were fortunate enough to participate in this battle which could be described as a glorious victory, and their reactions to Qin Ge were completely different from before.
In addition to the previous familiarity, there is an additional respect and admiration.
They had never imagined that war could be so simple, nor had they thought that a slight change in tactics could achieve such great results. And all of this was done by the man in front of them. How could they not admire him?
Facing the slightly excited York City and Essex, Qin Ge also responded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you two, it would have been very difficult for us to achieve such a result this time."
York City shook his head. "Commander Qin Ge, you are too polite. I believe that even without our help, the outcome of this battle will not change, because before this plan, you must have other battle plans.
Therefore, our participation in the battle is just icing on the cake for Commander Qin Ge, not even icing on the cake, let alone timely assistance."
"Yes, judging from Commander Qin Ge's skillful commands and precise grasp of the battlefield situation, I believe you will be able to make up the gap between the two awakened ship girls soon, so I also believe this sentence." Essex said.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you here." Qin Ge said.
York City smiled slightly, and she didn't say anything this time. From her previous understanding, she knew that Qin Ge was a stubborn person, and he would definitely thank those who helped him, and only then would he feel better.
After Qin Ge finished expressing his gratitude, York City promptly changed the topic.
After they chatted for a while, the command ship led by Bismarck gradually approached the port dock. So Qin Ge led the ship girls to board the ship smoothly, and when they arrived on the command ship, they asked about each other's well-being.
After all, Qin Ge’s current condition was not good at all. Every ship girl was filled with heartache, but their hearts were also filled with pride because this was their commander.
Qin Ge responded to all the ship girls one by one. Maybe he was away for too long this time, as if he could never finish talking.
From the moment they left the island until they returned to the port, the ship girls kept talking. Especially the destroyers, who kept talking to Qin Ge.
Originally Guanghui wanted to let Qin Ge rest early on the grounds that he hadn't rested for such a long time, but Qin Ge waved his hand to refuse.
Because it only takes a few hours from the island to the college port, and I have to wake up by then. This intermittent sleep is not good for my body. It is better to just hold on until I get back, take a good shower, tidy up, and then have a comfortable sleep.
The other shipgirls thought so too, so they chatted with Qin Ge more along the way, hoping to relieve his sleepiness in this way. However, considering Qin Ge's current throat problem, most of the time it was the shipgirls who talked and Qin Ge listened.
When talking about excitement and happiness, Qin Ge also smiled, making the journey back full of joy.
When Yorktown and Essex saw this scene, they did not intervene, but walked to the upper deck, leaving all the space in the cabin to Qin Ge and his ship girls.
Looking at the cloudless sky and the clear blue sea, Yorktown smiled said to Essex, "What do you think?"
Essex asked in confusion, "Is Senior York City talking about this battle?"
"Well, and what do you think of Commander Qin Ge?" Yorktown said with a smile.
"Commander Qin Ge is an excellent commander, or rather, the best commander I have ever seen. Not to mention his age, his ability to understand the battlefield with extraordinary thinking and deploy tactics are very difficult for ordinary commanders to do.
In addition, in addition to his tactical arrangements and qualities, he is very young now, so young that he can shock the other eight camps at the same time.
Moreover, Commander Qin Ge's ability is improving rapidly now. He is no weaker than some fleet commanders who have been building large fleets for a long time. It is easy to imagine what level he can reach in the future.
Add to that his unparalleled luck as mentioned in the intelligence, and with these combined conditions, I'm afraid there will never be another commander like this in the world, right?" Essex said.
"You observed very carefully, and it is indeed as you said. I am afraid that there will never be another commander like Commander Qin Ge in this world." York City said, "So what about this battle?"
Essex's face straightened, "This is the easiest Siren Tide I have ever experienced. I led the other ship girls to fight for air supremacy, and then carried out bombing support by carrier-based aircraft.
Every time a wave of carrier-based aircraft takes off, we can get a lot of gains. Compared with the battles I fought with my sisters before, although we were all awakened ship girls, the results we achieved were far weaker than this time. "
"Yes, with superb organizational skills and battlefield arrangement capabilities, combined with exquisite tactics, this battle that seemed to require a lot of sacrifice to complete was completely under his control. He won the battle at almost no cost." Yorktown said.
"Will you report everything that happens here to your seniors in the enterprise?" Essex asked.
"Well, this is our job after all, and there's nothing to hide here." Yorktown said with a smile, "Or do you have something you need me to report to you? Or do you want to talk to the company directly ?"
Essex thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, "No need, I'm fine."
"Well, that's it." Yorktown nodded thoughtfully.
After returning to the academy, Qin Ge and his companions separated from Yorktown and Essex. After arranging for other members of the Grand Fleet to rest, Qin Ge took his ship girl back to the guesthouse.
Although it was only two days since they left here, to Qin Ge and his ship girls, it felt like a long time had passed.
After returning to his home, Qin Ge no longer held on. With Belfast's help, he took a quick shower and fell asleep on the bed without even eating.
He was really too tired, both mentally , he only rested for three or four hours in between, so he wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to care about anything else before he recovered his energy...
