Chapter 739: Arrival at Iron Blood
They didn't stay in the Northern Union for many days. After all the cooperation negotiations were completed, Qin Ge asked everyone to prepare to set sail.
The New Year is getting closer and the Spring Festival is also approaching very soon. The meetings of several major camps must be completed as soon as possible so that we can return to the port area faster.
At the dock, Soviet Rossiya looked at Qin Ge and couldn't help but say, "Comrade Commander Qin Ge is really in a hurry. He has just arrived at the Northern Union for less than a week and he is leaving. Can't he stay a little longer? According to the news I received, the Soviet Alliance is ready to return from St. Petersburg."
Qin Ge smiled and waved his hand, "Time is tight. We have to go to Iron Blood, Iris, Sardinia, White Eagle next, and then we have to go to East Glory and Sakura. That's why the matter has been put on hold."
That matter was naturally a secret room, and Soviet Russia also knew about it.
"Well, we both keep in touch at all times. As long as the polar ice and snow disappear next year, we will be ready to explore," said Soviet Rossiya.
"Sure." Qin Ge nodded. "We will definitely come to the Northern Union again when we have time. We will stop here for now."
"Okay, I won't try to persuade you to stay. Let's say goodbye. Comrade Commander Qin Ge, have a safe journey." Soviet Rossiya nodded.
"goodbye."
Qin Ge saluted Soviet Rossiya, then turned around and boarded the command ship with the other ship girls, heading towards the next camp.
In fact, when I was heading from the Royal Palace to Riga, I passed through the Iron Blood territorial waters and encountered the Iron Blood patrol. However, the plan was to go to the Northern Union, so I just said hello and left.
This special trip did not take long, and in the evening we arrived at the iron-blooded port city, Holstein, which is the German port city of Kiel in Qin Ge's world.
Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany. It is located in the Kiel Bay of the Baltic Sea, 11 kilometers from the estuary. It is the port where the Iron Blood Faction's naval headquarters is located.
Although there was still heavy snow in the port, Qin Ge and his companions felt the fundamental difference between Iron Blood and Northern Alliance as soon as they got off the boat.
Most of the Northern Union's ship girls, flags, and personnel wear white clothes, but it is different for Iron Blood. Red and black are the standard colors here.
Qin Ge had expected this, because it could be seen from his Iron-Blooded Ship Girl's outfit. But expecting and actually seeing were two completely different feelings, just like now.
The one who received Qin Ge was Bismarck. Although she had taken over the restoration and reconstruction work of Iron Blood as soon as she returned from the NA waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Qin Ge's arrival still made her put down her work and come to greet him.
This reception will have a far-reaching impact on Tiexue’s future and path, and we cannot be careless about it.
"Welcome Commander Qin Ge and your fleet to Iron Blood. I hope you have a good time here these days." Bismarck looked at Qin Ge who was shaking hands with her in front of her and said in a very formal tone.
"I've always longed to visit Tiexue, and this time I've finally fulfilled my wish." Qin Ge said with a smile, and then he saw the honor guard lined up behind Bismarck.
Although standing in the snow, everyone held the iron-blooded flag in their hands steadily without any change.
This familiar scene made Qin Ge feel a sense of familiarity. He had done the same thing before, but it was raining instead of snowing.
"But Bismarck, isn't this a bit too much..." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"I don't think so at all. In fact, the Iron Blood is currently being rebuilt and there is no way to gather more manpower. Otherwise, this kind of etiquette would be too low for Commander Qin Ge." Prince Eugen of the Iron Blood said with a smile.
"Eugen is right. Please come this way, Commander Qin Ge. Come and see the ceremonial style of our Iron-Blooded Warriors." Bismarck said with a smile.
"It is better to obey than to be respectful."
Qin Ge followed Bismarck on the red carpet, accepted the etiquette of the guard of honor, and walked towards the port exit. The ship girls followed behind the two of them together with Prince Eugen.
"I chose the VIP guesthouse closest to the Iron Blood Command as the place for Commander Qin Ge and your ship girl to rest. This will also make it easier for us to communicate in the next few days. Commander Qin Ge, what do you think?"
"The guest should follow the host's wishes. We come to Iron Blood as guests to make arrangements. We are sorry to trouble you, Bismarck."
"Haha, although we have fought together before, I haven't been with Commander Qin Ge for a long time. But when I think about the other me getting along so well with Commander Qin Ge, he must be a very straightforward person. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
"Ha, I'm not that straightforward. You know I was a soldier before, so the military discipline made me develop this habit."
"You really have a lot of personal charm. No wonder the other me has the ring of promise on my hand."
"Well, you are very observant."
"There's no way. She's always by your side, and facing the only ship of the same name in the world, it's very difficult not to notice. So I was thinking, if the two of us were switched, I was in your fleet, and she was the leader of the Iron Blood, would I end up like her?"
"I guess there will be some differences. Although you are all from the same class, everyone has different experiences and the choices you make will be different."
"Probably, but you have to be more confident in yourself."
Bismarck and Qin Ge walked to the welcoming vehicle while chatting and laughing.
"Commander Qin Ge, and your ship girl should go back to the guesthouse and rest first. There will be a banquet specially prepared for you in the evening. I will send someone to notify you . Please be sure to attend." Bismarck said.
"Yes, thank you."
After shaking hands with each other, Qin Ge and the ship girls took a special car to leave the port under the escort of the guards. After entering for a while, they arrived in front of a luxurious hotel.
Qin Ge got out of the car and looked around, and saw that not far from the hotel was an office area with the flag of the Iron Blood camp hanging. He thought that was the Iron Blood Headquarters that Bismarck had mentioned before.
"Haha, it's indeed an iron-blooded style of action. They brought us directly to the vicinity of the headquarters." King George V of England, who got off the car, also saw this scene and said with a smile.
"That's good. When we discuss cooperation in the next few days, we don't have to go so far." Qiye said with a smile.
"In fact, business with Iron Blood is the easiest. After all, the person in charge here is Bismarck. No one understands Iron Blood's future plans better than her, right?" Veneto said with a smile.
Bismarck did not answer, but looked at Qin Ge.
"Well, let's talk about this later. Everyone, go tidy up your rooms, take a rest, and then change into formal attire. There will be a welcome banquet at Tiexue in the evening." Qin Ge said.
"Understood, Commander."
