Chapter 816 Summer is Coming
As April approaches, the weather in Guam has become like summer. Even if you stand far away from the beach, you can still feel the salty and humid sea breeze.
Although Qin Ge was already familiar with this kind of weather, he still stayed in the office at this moment, closed the windows, turned on the air conditioner, and enjoyed the comfort of summer.
"Huh, now we have completed today's work, right?" Qin Ge put down the documents in his hand and looked up.
"Yes, it seems that the commander is already familiar with handling this kind of work." Xianghe, who had long white hair and was wearing a kimono, stood beside Qin Ge, sorting out the documents on the table and said with a smile.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "After all, this is the commander's job. If you can't even complete this, how can you do other things?
By the way, today is Shokaku's first day as a secretary ship. How is it? Are you used to it?"
Shokaku smiled softly, "Thank you for your concern Commander, I'm used to it ."
"Just get used to it. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to it." Qin Ge said, "Since summer has arrived, the port area has gradually become more busy, which is also a big test for the secretary ship."
“Before I became a secretary ship, I asked many people about the details I should pay attention to, but they all told me not to be nervous, saying that the commander was very gentle.
The result is indeed like this, much simpler than I thought, it seems that this can be regarded as a good task. "Shokaku said with a smile.
"Yeah." Qin Ge nodded, "Shanghe is thoughtful."
"It's okay. This is what I should do." After Xianghe sorted out the documents on the desk, he asked Qin Ge, "Commander, are you going to patrol the port area now or later?"
Qin Ge looked out the window and said, "It's a bit too hot now. Why don't we wait until it's cooler? How about in the afternoon?"
"Haha, if the Commander feels it's too hot, I can actually go there ." Shokaku said with a smile.
Qin Ge shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I mean it 's a little too hot right now, and everyone is busy with their own things, research, work, and study.
When patrolling the port area at this time, most places are empty, and there is no way to understand what they need or whether they have encountered anything new today.
So go in the afternoon when everyone should be there, so you can patrol the port area and understand everyone’s needs.”
"I see. So the Commander has always relied on this method to understand the big and small things happening in the port area?" Shokaku asked.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Of course it's more than that. I know a lot of channels for things happening in the port area. For example, the documents you just sorted out are more formal things in the port area.
There are also daily patrols, and most of the time we are learning about what happened during patrol time, and of course we can also learn some new things.
The most important thing is of course to communicate with everyone, especially some destroyers, their intelligence is very fast. "
"Haha, that's true." Shokaku laughed.
"Well, the port area is indeed a bit quiet now." Qin Ge stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sea through the window and said, "When I worked in the office before, I stood here and could see many destroyers playing on the beach as long as it didn't rain.
Now that we have the KanColle Academy, everyone is going to class at this time, and I feel a little uncomfortable with it. "
"I think taking classes is a good thing, especially now that there are Embers' ships there that specialize in giving classes. It is very attractive to destroyers, cruisers, and even to us," said Shokaku.
Qin Ge nodded. "It is indeed a good thing to have classes. I just feel a little emotional. But then again, I really didn't expect that Yu Jin would take the initiative to offer to teach in our port area."
"Maybe they feel they have to do something to live in our port area, otherwise they'd feel embarrassed?" Shokaku guessed with a smile.
Qin Ge shook his head. Of course he knew the specific reason, but he had promised someone not to reveal it, so he could only pretend that he didn't know.
"They carried out ship renovations for us, provided guidance on scientific research ship blueprints, and provided guidance on scientific research renovation projects. In this way, we owe them something, but they have never owed us anything."
"That's beyond my comprehension. Maybe they think this is part of the cooperation?" Shokaku said with a smile.
"Maybe." Qin Ge nodded. "By the way, we will be leaving the port area in a while. Is Xianghe ready?"
"Commander, are you saying that we are ready to set off for Donghuang?" Xianghe asked.
"Well, I promised Anshan and Zuikaku and the others that after returning from the Atlantic Ocean, I would take some time to visit Donghuang and Sakura Empire. It's almost April now. By the time we go to Donghuang and Sakura Empire, the polar ice and snow will gradually begin to melt. That will be the time for us to head to the polar regions." Qin Ge said.
"We have made some preparations, and I am also very curious about the other camps in this world." Shokaku said, "By the way, will everyone from all the camps go there?"
Qin Ge shook his head. "Of course not. Only a part of the people will go. Most of them are from Donghuang and Chongying, plus the existing ships in our port area, and I will invite a few embers to follow.
But it depends on their intention. If they don't want to join other camps, we can meet them at sea after leaving Sakura Empire and head to the Arctic together.
And when we go to the polar regions, some people from Donghuang and Chongying will definitely return to the port area. After all, we can't send so many people , otherwise we will be too conspicuous. "
"Haha, if the commander does this, I'm afraid some people will be sad." Shokaku laughed.
Qin Ge shrugged, "There's nothing we can do. The Northern Alliance was rather vague about the secret room last time, and we don't know much about the situation there, so it's better to be cautious.
Ships are the high-end strength of our port. If we add the Embers, we can basically get away with it as long as there are no two or more Arbitrators.
So if too many people go, it will cause unnecessary trouble, I will explain this to them clearly when the time comes."
"That's true, but can I go to the Northern Alliance with the Commander?" Shokaku asked. "I've been practicing hard recently, and my skills have improved a lot. If the Commander needs me, I can go out to fight at any time."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes. I'm not sure now. Maybe you can really go then, who knows?"
"Hehe, in that case, I will have to practice harder during this period of time and try to improve my strength. Otherwise, if I lose the opportunity to go to the polar regions due to my training and technical reasons, I will be very distressed." Xianghe said with a smile.
"Ha, come on then."
