Chapter 651: The Prince of Wales's Speech
He did what he said. After leaving behind the corresponding defensive personnel, Qin Ge took his ship girl to the port of the Commander Academy.
But as soon as they returned to the port, they saw a group of commanders with private and corporal shoulder straps standing there. Next to them , a ship girl wearing an iron-blooded military uniform was saying something.
"What's going on? Are they here to welcome us? It's better not to make such a fuss during wartime..." Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Well, I think you are wrong. These guys probably want to go to the battlefield." The Prince of Wales said helplessly.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I understand. Being young and frivolous, fighting for the ideal in your heart, this spirit is indeed admirable."
“Oh, if they had your strength, then I would be very happy, but now look at what they have?
They are full of enthusiasm, but they can't see the difference between them and others. They are not going to the battlefield, they are going to the execution ground, and they will die as soon as they show their heads. "The Prince of Wales said bluntly.
"Haha, Wales, your requirements are too high. If everyone was like Qin Ge, the world would have changed long ago." Mikasa said with a smile.
“Now is a critical moment, Wales, you still have to transfer these students to a safe area. They are the hope of Donghuang.
Even if we fail this time, we have left a spark for Donghuang. They can continue to fight against Siren instead of letting the entire Donghuang lose the power to resist. "Canglong said.
"I know. I told Colon before that she could use force to deter others when necessary." Prince of Wales said, "But now it seems that Colon is still a little soft-hearted."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "But now we can relax. At least the battle here is over for now."
"We still can't let our guard down. Even though you're here, there's a good chance the Siren Fleet will make a comeback. Besides, you can't be here forever. I'll arrange for them to evacuate to a safe area later." Prince of Wales shook his head and said.
As the fleet approached, the movement of the crowd on the shore gradually became louder. Qin Ge could hear the cheers from a distance.
As the ships moved forward, the cheers grew louder until the command ship anchored at the harbor's pier.
When everyone got off the command ship, they saw a group of students and their own ship girls swarming over, as if they wanted to celebrate the hard-earned victory, but what was waiting for them was a scolding from the Prince of Wales.
"What are you guys trying to do by crowding here? I gave you the order to retreat to a safe place. Didn't you understand? You are the commander, and more importantly, a soldier.
Soldiers should obey orders as their first duty. Do you want to disobey orders?"
The Prince of Wales' words caused the entire scene to fall silent in an instant, and all the trainee commanders were unable to react at once.
"You think you're capable, right? Summoning your own ship girl means you're a real commander, right? Do you know how many commanders we at Donghuang lost in this war?
Even the elite fleets on the front line have lost more than seven or eight ships so far. How do you think you compare to them? Do you think your ship girls can withstand a single shot from the new Siren?"
The Prince of Wales's continuous questions made all the commanders at the scene lower their heads. Even Qin Ge was somewhat speechless by the Prince of Wales. He couldn't help but touch his nose behind him, feeling a little relieved.
"But, but we can't just let the mentors participate in the battle. We want to do our part, even if it's very weak, we will do it."
A weak voice came from the students, and this voice seemed to express what the students were thinking, and was immediately echoed.
"Haha, do you think I will forgive you if you say such things? Don't you know what you represent?
Now I tell you frankly, Donghuang is currently facing a huge crisis, which should be said to be unprecedented . And you are the future of Donghuang and the fire of Donghuang. Even if the torch of Donghuang is extinguished and burned out, as long as you are there, you can recreate Donghuang, do you understand?
So do you know what responsibilities you bear now? You are the tomorrow of Donghuang, you are the future of Donghuang.
And this is no longer just empty talk, it is the truth. I hope you can follow my orders and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of this war. When you are fully grown, you can lead Donghuang to glory. "
The Prince of Wales looked at the students in front of him and spoke with a solemn tone. Even Qin Ge couldn't help but nodded.
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The two short words turned into a deafening sound, which made the Prince of Wales smile. "Very good. Then before you retreat, please allow me to introduce another mentor you have never met. He was the former tactical mentor of our Commander Academy and is also the lifelong honorary mentor of our Commander Academy.
At the same time, it was also because of his assistance that we were able to successfully resist the attack of the Siren Fleet this time."
The introduction of Prince of Wales made the students raise their heads and look in her direction, only to see Prince of Wales step aside to let Qin Ge who was behind him appear.
"Isn't this bad?" Qin Ge looked at the Prince of Wales somewhat embarrassedly.
"What's wrong with that? You are from our Commander Academy. You can come back this time to meet the juniors. Go up and say a few words to them." Mikasa said with a smile.
"Uh." Qin Ge was stunned, then gave a bitter smile and walked to the Prince of Wales under the gaze of all the students.
"Hello, my name is Qin Ge." As soon as Qin Ge finished speaking, a huge discussion broke out among the crowd.
"So he is Qin Ge, the compiler of the tactics textbook we are studying now. He looks so young!"
"I know Instructor Qin Ge. He graduated from the Commander Academy two years ago. He was our school's tactical instructor while he was in school. Instructor Cologne has always been very respectful of him."
“…”
Qin Ge looked at the students' discussions in front of him and couldn't help but smile. He felt a little familiar, as if he saw himself in the past. But at the same time, he felt a little alienated. He might never be able to return to such an innocent time.
"This is the first time I have met you all, but the current situation does not allow me to tell you too much. But please rest assured that the situation is not that bad, and Donghuang will continue to exist. It's just that we will have to go through an unprecedented battle next, so for the sake of everyone's safety, it is a wise choice to fight with all our might.
You still have a long time ahead of you, a long way to go, and many enemies to face. Although you did not participate in this battle, you will be the first to experience the next battle and the next one .
So what you have to do now is to work hard to protect your own safety, work hard to train your own ship girls, work hard to make yourself stronger, and be able to fight to the end in future battles.
Thanks."
