Chapter 885: Report from the Frontline Fleet
Time flies, and four or five days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day when Qin Ge was handling official business, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Qin Ge raised his head and saw the secretary ship Yonggan running over. After opening the door, a figure walked in.
"Hey, Casablanca?" Bravely looked at Casablanca outside the door and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to report to the commander." Casablanca said.
"Tell me what's going on. I'll go tell the commander. He's busy now." Bravely said.
"It's about the feedback from the Sakura Empire and the Royal Army that we sent out before. I need to explain it directly to the commander." Casablanca said.
"So that's how it is. Then come in with me." Yonggan said, and walked in with Casablanca.
Qin Ge raised his head at this time, looked at Casablanca and asked, "Casablanca, what's the matter?"
"Report to the commander, there is information from the front line." Casablanca said.
"The front line? Oh, is it Musashi and King George V of England and others?" Qin Ge became alert.
"Yes, almost at the same time they reported the location of the materials to the port area, and have found the temporary base." Casablanca said.
"Oh, where is the exact location? Let me see." Qin Ge asked.
Casablanca on the other side quickly took out a map, then unfolded it in front of Qin Ge and pointed, saying, "According to the message sent back by Sakura Empire, they chose Guadalcanal, the largest island in the Solomon Islands.
The area is about 6,475 square kilometers, and indigenous Melanesians were also found on the island. It was because of the communication with the indigenous people that it was decided to place the temporary base on Guadalcanal Island. "
"Indigenous people? What's their current situation? Will they pose a threat to us in future defenses?" Qin Ge asked quickly.
“No, according to the information sent back by Musashi, these natives live in the north of the island, and what we need is to establish a temporary base in the southeast of the island, so it will not affect our normal execution of the mission.
And with our temporary base there, they will be safer." Casablanca responded.
Qin Ge nodded, "What about the Royal Family? What is their situation in the Marshall Islands?"
"According to the message from King George V of England, they are now on Ebeye Island in the Marshall Islands. The island covers an area of 360,000 square meters. This island is an uninhabited area, so the situation in the Sakura Empire will not occur." Casablanca said.
Qin Ge nodded. "I understand. Casablanca, go inform Musashi and King George V. I will send someone with supplies immediately. Let them stay behind with one or two people to wait, and the others will collect combat data according to the original plan."
"Understood, Commander, I'll inform them right away." Casablanca saluted Qin Ge and turned to leave the office.
Watching Casablanca leave, Qin Ge turned to look at Yonggan who was standing beside him, "Yonggan, notify Amagi of Sakura Empire and Hood of the Royal Family, and have them come to my office immediately."
"Yes, sir!" Yonggan nodded quickly and went to make the notification immediately.
Qin Ge smiled and then continued to deal with his unfinished official business.
Not long after, Tiancheng and Hood appeared in Qin Ge's office.
"My lord, are you calling us here in such a hurry because of something happening on the front line?" Tiancheng went straight to the point.
Qin Ge nodded and said, "At present, Musashi and King George V of England have found places in the Marshall Islands and the Solomon Islands to build temporary ports, so our port must act quickly now to transport supplies and construction materials to them.
So I will arrange this matter for you. One of you will be responsible for the temporary base of Sakura Empire in Solomon Islands, and the other one will be responsible for the Royal Time Base in Marshall Islands.
You can apply for the materials directly at our warehouse. As for the escort formation, you can arrange it yourself. Try to send ships, and if necessary, you can ask Yu Jin and others to escort. "
"I understand. However, we still have many ships in our port area, so there is no need to trouble Yu Jin and the others. Please rest assured, Commander, we will deliver the supplies in time." Hood said with a smile.
"There is also the question of whether we should return to the port area after we deliver them there, or join the front-line team there."
Qin Ge thought for a while and said, "Ask about the pressure on the front line. If it's not too much, then you return to the port. If it's too much, then leave a few people behind and the rest can return with the transport ship."
"I understand, my lord." Tiancheng nodded, "Then which direction did they choose?"
Qin Ge pointed to the map on the table and said, "The temporary base of the Sakura Empire is located on the largest island in the Solomon Islands, southeast of Guadalcanal Island. As for the temporary base of the Royal Navy, it is located on Ebeye Island in the Marshall Islands. Once you arrange the route, let me know."
"Yes, Commander."
After the two of them quickly responded, they quickly went down to organize the personnel for this attack, as well as the materials needed to design the corresponding base and make the corresponding application.
By the afternoon, all the materials had been loaded onto the transport ship and the personnel escorting the supplies had arrived.
The people sent by the Sakura Empire were Akagi and Kaga, with Amagi as the general commander, and the vanguard personnel were Atago, Kitakaze, and Agano.
As for the royal delegation, they included Hood, Glory, Centaur, York, Edinburgh, and Foxy.
After everything was packed up, the two informed Qin Ge, who then saw them off at the port.
He didn't say much else, just some words like take care, be careful on the road, etc. Then he watched everyone set sail and slowly sail out of the port area, and then Qin Ge went back to the port area.
As soon as I returned to my room, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Ge went forward to open the door, but unexpectedly found Prince Eugen outside the door.
"When did you come back?" Qin Ge asked in surprise.
"I came back with a few teams of barbarians today when the port was busy." Prince Eugen said, "The commander is standing here. Are you not letting me in?"
Qin Ge smiled helplessly, turned sideways to make room for himself, and said, "Come in, what's the situation there?"
"Everything is progressing steadily, and we will be able to see results in about a year," said Prince Eugen.
Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, "Results?"
"Yes, this time I brought back not only Manchu, but also Persian Cat and Frederick's invitation." Prince Eugen smiled mysteriously, "Didn't the commander say he wanted to go to the experimental field? How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Qin Ge thought for a moment. "Things on the front line have come to an end for now. There is nothing major happening in the port area either. Tomorrow is fine."
"Well, it's decided then."
