Chapter 752: Arrival at Iris
"Since Commander Qin Ge has made up his mind, I will not say anything to persuade him to stay. I hope that we can maintain close contact and communication. We will also start to build a communication line directly connected to @Guam.
By that time, the communication between us will be very convenient and stable, and there will be no need to cross the oceans. "The iron-blooded Bismarck said to Qin Ge.
"Okay, we will also join in this construction, and look forward to coming to Tiexue again next time." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it too." Bismarck nodded.
There wasn't much communication, because everything that needed to be said had already been discussed within a few days, so for both parties, this was just a simple farewell.
After leaving the Iron Blood Port, Qin Ge headed towards Brest according to the agreement .
Because the distance between Holstein and Brest was not very far, it took only about half a day to sail and meet the fleet of Free Iris and Vichy that came to the sea to greet them.
And these two people are also relatively familiar to Qin Ge. They are the sister ships of the Fantasy-class, Triumph and Vicious, who have been in Qin Ge's fleet for a period of time.
"Sister Evil, our mission is to escort Commander Qin Ge's fleet to the port of Brest, not to rest on someone else's command ship..." Kaixuan said helplessly while looking at Evil who was lying on the table.
Evil shook his head slightly, "No, I'm so sleepy... and Commander Qin Ge's fleet is much stronger than the two of us, there's no need for us to escort them."
Kaixuan looked helplessly at Qin Ge who was laughing beside him, and said awkwardly, "But we two are here as representatives of Free Iris and the Vichy Church, so we must follow certain etiquette."
"It's okay, Kaixuan. Anyway, given our relationship with Commander Qin Ge, he won't mind it." Evil said with drooping eyelids, "Just let me rest for a while. The reconstruction tasks during this period have almost exhausted me. I finally have the opportunity to come here and take a break..."
"Hmm..." Kaixuan was speechless for a moment.
Qin Ge at the side laughed, "It's okay, let Evil take a break, Kaixuan, you just need to show me the way, don't worry about safety.
As for etiquette, we have been together for so long, there is no need to talk about those clichés."
Hearing Qin Ge say this , Evil immediately looked up at Qin Ge, and then fell asleep even more leisurely.
Kaixuan couldn't help but shook his head, "Commander Qin Ge, although that's what I said, we still have to show the sincerity of Free Iris and the Holy See.
I am here to say sorry to you on behalf of my vicious sister. I am sorry for making you laugh."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, this makes our relationship even closer, doesn't it?" Qin Ge smiled and said, "So have you, Free Iris, and the Vichy Church reached a temporary agreement?"
"Well, although we have taken different paths due to differences in ideas before, but now we are facing a powerful enemy and we must unite in order to ensure the continued existence of the Church. This is not something that can be changed by faith or choice of path." Kaixuan explained to Qin Ge.
"I see. I think it's good for you guys to do this." Qin Ge smiled and said, "Your origins are the same. If you unite like this, you will be even stronger in the future.
If you encounter the Siren Tide again, I'm sure you will do better."
"Um."
With Triumph's guidance, the Love Song Fleet moved faster. The original estimate was to arrive at Liberty Iris at 6pm, but shortly after noon, at around 3pm or 4pm, they had already arrived at Liberty Iris.
The Qin Ge fleet was greeted by Richelieu, representing the Free Archbishop of Iris, and Jean Bart, the Knight Guardian of the Vichy Church.
However, when they saw Triumph with an embarrassed look on his face, and Evil with sleepy eyes beside Triumph, Richelieu and the others knew what had happened.
"I'm sorry, Commander Qin Ge, it seems that the welcoming ship we sent out embarrassed you." Richelieu said apologetically.
Qin Ge shook his head and said, "No, Kaixuan and I are very familiar with each other, so I asked them to come to my command ship and chat with them all the way.
I am also very grateful to Liberty Iris and the Vichy Church for sending them both to greet me."
Seeing that Qin Ge did not say much about this matter, Richelieu immediately chose to ignore this topic.
"On behalf of Free Iris and the Vichy Church, I welcome Commander Qin Ge and thank you for your fleet's assistance in the NA waters this time," said Richelieu.
"This is what I should do as a commander. After all, we are all part of Azur Lane, aren't we?" Qin Ge said with a smile.
“Indeed, but there are very few commanders who can reach the level of Commander Qin Ge, so no one has ever achieved this feat. But it is precisely because of this that we see hope.
We also hope that this exchange can become the basis for sincere cooperation between the two sides in the future, and work together to protect the world." Richelieu said.
"Well, I also agree with what you said, Richelieu. Protecting this world does not rely solely on the power of one camp or one force. Instead, it requires all camps to unite and cooperate with each other in order to coexist in future changes." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Yes, but we will have more time to talk about these later. Now is the time for the welcome ceremony. However, since the reconstruction work is still in progress , this ceremony may be a little unceremonious. I hope Commander Qin Ge can forgive me." Richelieu smiled.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, the simpler the better for me. Otherwise, if it's too grand, it will seem too polite."
"Too."
The two smiled at each other, then walked along the red carpet towards the outside of the port.
Qin Ge feels that Free Iris is much more delicate than Iron Blood and Northern Union, and the church style here is very strong, with a special atmosphere everywhere.
"What do you think of Iris here, Commander Qin Ge?" Jean Bart, who was following behind the two of them, asked, as if he saw Qin Ge looking around.
Qin Ge turned around and smiled, "This place gives people a very special feeling, as if it can make people calm down. It really deserves to be called the Iris Theocracy. There is a sacred feeling."
"Well, that's all Iris has to offer right now," Jean Bart said.
"Don't you think this is bad?" Qin Ge asked.
"It's not bad, it's just a little rigid. However, since Commander Qin Ge is here for the first time, he may not be deeply impressed. This is a good thing." Jean Bart said.
"Jean Bart..." Richelieu's voice was hesitant.
"It's okay, I just said it out of inspiration."
