Chapter 828 Open Class
“It always feels like it’s back to how it was before.”
Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Qin Ge looked at himself in the mirror and said to Belfast.
"Haha, but the master is now more mature than before, and more confident. After experiencing so many ups and downs, how could he be the same as before?" Belfast laughed.
"Indeed." Qin Ge nodded, "But I never thought that I would be able to stand on the podium one day. Dean Prince of Wales said it was relatively simple, just talk about it casually, it would be great if it was really that simple."
"I believe that the master can complete this lesson smoothly. After all, you have come here so many times before. And when you were in the port area before, didn't you give them many lessons at the KanColle Academy?" Belfast said with a smile.
"I hope so." Qin Ge smiled.
After leaving the guesthouse, Qin Ge and Belfast walked , but when they passed by Mikasa's house, they saw her waiting outside the door early in the morning.
"Senior Mikasa, good morning." Qin Ge greeted with a smile, "Why are you standing here? Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for you." Mikasa smiled, "The dean told me about it yesterday. How is it? I haven't given a lecture in more than two years. Have you thought about what to talk about?"
Qin Ge spread his hands and said, "I really don't know how to teach in one class. The dean really gave me a difficult problem."
"Haha, if it was someone else, I would believe it, but I definitely won't believe it if it was you." Mikasa laughed, "Can such a simple thing stump you?"
Qin Ge smiled helplessly, "Well."
"In fact, you don't have to think about what to say deliberately. Perhaps you can understand what they want to know and solve their confusion. Such lectures are more meaningful than any other knowledge ." Mikasa smiled when she saw this.
"Senior Mikasa, you've reminded me of this." Qin Ge suddenly had an idea and said, "We just experienced such a tragic Siren Tide last year, and most of the commanders died. I guess they are a little confused about the future. Maybe I can start from this point and talk about it?"
"That's great. Helping them build up confidence and strengthen their ideals is indeed the most useful thing for them right now." Mikasa said with a smile.
"Haha, then let's go together. It's almost time. I believe the dean is getting anxious waiting for you." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"good."
Chatting with Mikasa along the way, Qin Ge got a more detailed understanding of the current situation of the academy and the situation of this year's students, and he had a general idea in his mind.
Soon the three men arrived at the door of the lecture hall, where the Prince of Wales was standing.
"Sorry for the wait, Dean." Qin Ge said politely.
"It's not that long. The open class hasn't started yet, has it?" Prince of Wales said with a smile, "So, have you thought about what to talk about? There are many people coming to listen to the class this time, including the commanders near Shenhua City."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I had no idea at first, but Senior Mikasa just reminded me, and now I am somewhat confident."
"Oh? In that case, I'll have to look forward to it from now on," said the Prince of Wales.
After a brief chat, the bell for the preparatory class rang, and several people followed the Prince of Wales into the classroom.
Looking around, there were quite a lot of people coming today. In addition to the trainee commanders who were sitting upright, there were also many commanders who were already very experienced. Qin Ge also saw many familiar faces among them, who were also many commanders who had attended his classes before.
The Prince of Wales walked directly to the podium and said to the audience, "Good morning, fellow trainee commanders and commanders from Shenhua City, and welcome to this open class of the Commander Academy.
This time we have invited Commander Qin Ge, the commander of the Xinghai Grand Fleet and honorary instructor of our Commander Academy, to explain to you what you urgently need to know. Please give us a warm welcome. "
The thunderous applause began to sound, and Qin Ge came to the podium under the gaze of the crowd, and the Prince of Wales handed the podium to him with a slight smile. Qin Ge stood on the podium and waited until the continuous applause ended before he began to speak.
"Hello everyone, I'm Qin Ge. I'm very happy to receive the invitation from President Prince of Wales to give this open class to everyone." Qin Ge said with a smile.
“It has been more than two years, almost three years, since I last gave a lecture at this podium. A lot of things have happened during this period, and both I and everyone have grown a lot.
This time I am not going to talk about tactics or academic knowledge, I just want to communicate with you and answer your questions. "
As soon as Qin Ge finished speaking, there was a noisy discussion below, and then someone raised his hand and stood up. It was a commander with a high military rank. He said to Qin Ge, "Teacher Qin Ge, I have listened to your lectures at the academy before, and I have learned a lot. During the last Siren Tide, it was thanks to your tactical knowledge that I was able to survive successfully.
And then I heard that you led the fleet to rescue Donghuang. Thank you very much for your efforts. The question I want to ask today is, facing such a powerful Siren before, our defensive offensive seems a little vulnerable. In this case, is it necessary for us to continue to explore the sea area? "
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I remember you. Although I don't know your name, I still remember what you look like. As for your question, my answer is that it is necessary to continue exploring the sea.
From ancient times to the present, human beings have experienced many setbacks, whether it is climate issues or the current Sirens. But the reason why human beings can reach what they are today is because of their unremitting persistence and hard work.
When the Sirens first attacked, that was the most critical time for humanity. If it weren’t for the Ship Girls, humanity would probably have to say goodbye to the ocean forever.
But even in such a critical moment, there were still some people who continued to resist, and they were the first generation of commanders. So this spirit was gradually passed down, and it continued until now to our generation.
Our commander shoulders the fate of all mankind. We cannot retreat because of a few setbacks and huge difficulties. Since we have chosen this path, we must continue to move forward unswervingly.
We should regard difficulties and hardships as our stepping stones, constantly improve our abilities and strengths, combine past experiences and lessons, and be more courageous. We should fight for our mission and to protect our homes.
If our commanders really have to have a destination, then I believe our destination must be the sea which is the battlefield."
