Chapter 838: Old Friend
When the plane slowly landed, Qin Ge and his ship girl finally ended this journey.
As I got off the plane, I saw Canglong and others who came to pick me up.
"Haha, looking at your looks, it seems that you have had a very happy journey during this period." Canglong walked closer to Qin Ge and said with a smile.
Qin Ge nodded, "That's right, thank you very much Director Canglong for coming to greet me."
"You are still as polite as ever." Canglong smiled, "We have been together for so long, it's okay to be more casual."
"In fact, this is also a kind of familiarity. If you change your attitude, it will be like getting to know each other again." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right." Canglong nodded with a smile, "Let's get in the car together. Are you going to take a rest or go back to the Commander Academy directly?"
"Let's go back to the Commander Academy and pack up. It's time for us to leave Donghuang." Qin Ge said.
"So soon, I heard that Yixian is planning to hold another banquet for you." Canglong said with some surprise.
Qin Ge smiled and shook his head. "Not so fast. We have already stayed in Dunhuang for a long time. We were originally planning to travel to Sakura City in about a month, but this time it will take much longer than that. It seems that our time in Sakura City will have to be shortened again."
"There is no crisis in the sea right now. You can stay in Sakura Empire a little longer as if you were on vacation." Canglong said.
"In fact, I also want to do that, but there are some things I need to do later, so I may not have that much time." Qin Ge explained.
Canglong smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't continue to ask questions. Anyway, if you have time, you are welcome to come to Donghuang at any time. Next time, you can directly dock the ship at the port of the Maritime Administration. There is no need to trouble Wales every time."
Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Actually, I'm just used to it. If we follow the normal procedures, we should report to the Maritime Administration first. But you also know that I'm an honorary instructor of the Commander Academy, so it's normal for me to go directly to the Commander Academy."
"So I don't blame you." Canglong said with a smile, "Get in the car."
"Um."
Everyone got in the car and returned to the Commander Academy. It was already dark by then, but there was no delay. Perhaps it was because they were familiar enough with Donghuang, and everything was normal.
The next day, with the farewell of Donghuang’s top leaders, Prince of Wales and others, Qin Ge and his ship girls left the port of the Commander Academy and embarked on a journey to Sakura Empire.
All the way north along the coastline, the sea breeze in Donghuang is still relatively warm. Although there is a hint of chill in the wind, it is still a suitable day for sailing.
After driving for a day, Qin Ge unexpectedly ran into a few acquaintances.
"Long time no see, King Kong and Kaohsiung." Qin Ge invited several people onto the command ship and said with a smile.
"Long time no see, Commander Qin Ge. It has been three or four years since we returned from the Sakura Empire. Although we have not met each other, the legend of Commander Qin Ge echoes in our ears every day." King Kong said with a smile.
Qin Ge looked at them, and memories gradually came to his mind. At that time, he had just come to the Commander Academy for the first year, and Bismarck, Veneto and others had gathered around him. For the benefit of Donghuang, he went to Sakura Empire, and by chance, he built Shinano and obtained the blueprints of his first scientific research ship, Monarch.
The ones who were responsible for the mutual transportation were King Kong, Kaohsiung and others in front of them.
"Commander Qin Ge's fleet looks quite powerful. I just saw that the aura emanating from those command ships nearby is also quite strong. It seems that as the rumors say, Commander Qin Ge can already compete with the major camps." King Kong said with a smile.
"Haha, it's just good luck." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"This is not something that can be summed up as good luck." Kaohsiung said with some regret, "At first we were thinking about whether Xinyue could join Commander Qin Ge's fleet, but we didn't expect that if we missed it, we would miss it forever."
Qin Ge was stunned. This was indeed the case. Just as he was about to speak, Xinyue smiled and said, "Sister Kaohsiung, you don't have to say that. In fact, we have been living happily all these years, right? I believe that even though we have not joined Commander Qin Ge's fleet, it will not delay us from contributing our due strength to Azur Lane."
Qin Ge smiled and nodded, "Xinyue is right. Maybe if you follow me, you can see more scenery, but it won't be as peaceful and fulfilling as it is now. Every choice corresponds to the result, but every journey is a wonderful life."
"Indeed." King Kong nodded. "By the way, Commander Qin Ge, are you heading to Sakura Empire this time? I see that if you continue in this direction, you should be heading to Sakura Empire?"
Qin Ge nodded, "Yes, our destination this time is Sakura Empire. You guys are coming back from Sakura Empire as well, right?"
"That's right. We have accepted a mission to escort merchant ships. Although there are almost no mass-produced Siren warships on the sea now, we still need to be safe. These ships traveling between the various camps still need people to escort them." King Kong said.
"So what is the current situation in Sakura Empire? How is the recovery and reconstruction going?" Qin Ge asked.
"The Sakura Empire is still pretty good. With the assistance of Commander Qin Ge, the losses are within an acceptable range. But now, like the Eastern Empire, it has cancelled the front-line settings and switched to a near-shore defense strategy while recovering and rebuilding," said Kaohsiung.
"That's good."
After chatting with King Kong Kaohsiung and others for a while, everyone left in a hurry. Now they were on a mission and could not stay on Qin Ge's command ship for too long.
Watching the figures going away, Kaohsiung and King Kong from another command ship ran over.
"Commander, who are they?" King Kong asked puzzledly.
"These are friends I knew long ago. I feel very relieved to see them become active again in the sea after experiencing the Siren Tide," Qin Ge explained.
"I heard they wanted to join the fleet before?" Kaohsiung asked.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Not really, in fact, they are mostly free ship girls, and they know more about Glory and North Carolina.
They did want Xinyue to join my fleet before. After all, Xinyue’s power was relatively weak at that time. But compared to joining a fleet with a commander, Xinyue was more willing to stay with them , so in the end it was nothing.
Now when we see each other, we just say hello and ask how are we. After all, there are only a few people I know in this world, and I cherish every one of them. "
"So that's how it is. This world is so wonderful. But I am also very grateful to the commander for not letting them join our fleet, otherwise I might not be here." King Kong said with a smile.
"Ha, who could have said that at the time?"
