Chapter 114: Past Events
After replenishing the supplies, because the merchant ship was still loading cargo, Qin Ge brought his ship girl to the command ship to wait.
"Commander, if what that man said is true, then we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to complete the mission and return." The Centaur said to Qin Ge while looking at the cargo ship that was loading goods not far away.
Qin Ge nodded. "That's right. It will take almost a whole day to escort the cargo ship from here to Hezhou City and then return to the Commander Academy from Hezhou City."
"Have you ever been on a ship for such a long time before?" the Centaur asked curiously.
" Well, I took a boat from Minghai City, and it took me more than one to two days to get to Shenhua City." Qin Ge said to the Centaur.
When the Centaur heard Qin Ge mention the name of Minghai City, he immediately became alert and asked Qin Ge, "Is the commander's home in Minghai City?"
This question aroused the curiosity of more people, including those who wanted to know more about Qin Ge's brilliance, and the usually serious Noshiro.
For Centaurs and Noshiro, their commanders rarely mentioned things about their hometowns. And their commanders rarely mentioned where they came from when they came to the Commander Academy, as if the past events were only related to strategy and tactics.
This time, Qin Ge inadvertently mentioned Minghai City, which naturally aroused the curiosity of the Centaurs and others.
Qin Ge shook his head and said with eyes full of memories, "Linhai City is where I stayed before I came to the Commander Academy. It can be considered my home, but it's not actually my home."
" Why ?" demanded the Centaur.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "I lived in Minghai City for more than a month. I didn't want to be a commander before, but it was there that I changed my mind and came to this Commander Academy to study.
So for me, it is my second home. But my home is not there, and I may never be able to go back home in this lifetime.”
When Qin Ge spoke the latter part, there was a hint of sadness in his voice.
Minghai City is a place with very important memories for him, where he met Lao Wan and Aunt Wan. Qin Ge, who just came to this world, is unfamiliar .
Because of their adoption, they were able to support themselves smoothly. Qin Ge, who lost his parents when he was young, cherished this kind of family affection very much.
The two elders had lost their son at an early age, so they liked the very active and enthusiastic Qin Ge very much. They supported each other and spent more than a month together.
This kind of feeling is very strange. Some people may know each other for more than one or two years, but they may not be close to each other. But some people can be trusted after knowing each other for more than a month.
To Lao Wan, Qin Ge was like his son. That was why he was so angry when Qin Ge left Ninghai City and prepared to come to Shenhua City to be the commander.
But despite their deep feelings, Minghai City was not Qin Ge's home. His home was the 9.6 million square kilometers of land and nearly 3 million square kilometers of sea that he swore to protect.
"Commander..." When the Centaur heard Qin Ge's words, he hurried forward and stood beside him.
"It's okay." Qin Ge shook his head at the Centaur, "I just lost my composure a little bit."
"It's okay, Commander. If you are willing, you can tell us and we will share the responsibility with you. If you are not willing, you don't have to say anything. You can say it whenever you want." The Centaur comforted Qin Ge.
"Don't worry, your commander is not that fragile yet." Qin Ge said with a smile, "I can still tell you about Minghai City."
"Well, Commander, since you have nothing to do now, can you tell us about it?" The Centaur said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you about it."
"In fact, I didn't know how I got to Minghai City at that time. When I woke up, I was already on an island, and I encountered the Siren mass-produced destroyer. When the destroyer pointed its gun at me, I thought I was going to die."
"Ah!" The Centaurs couldn't help but cover their mouths. After all, Qin Ge was not like them. If he was hit by the naval cannon with his physical body, he would die without a complete body.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Obviously I was not dead at that time, otherwise I would not be here to be your commander.
It was also my first time to see KanColle, and I met my first commander. His name was Xu Xin, a very cheerful man. He helped me and got me back to land from the island in the defense zone. He also gave me a recommendation letter for the Commander Academy. Although his purpose was not very pure, I am very grateful to him.
Later, I came to Ninghai City and spent all my savings to recuperate. I wanted to find a job, but many people didn't want someone with an injury. So when I was hesitating at the last moment, an elderly couple offered me a helping hand.
In this way, I helped the two old men run their shop while recuperating. Later, due to some things, I was ready to come here to be the commander, but I didn't expect to be beaten up by Lao Wan, haha."
At this point, Qin Ge couldn't help but laugh, and said to the surprised Centaur, "His son was also a commander before, but he and his ship girl died in the sea while performing a mission.
So Lao Wan was very sensitive to the commander's profession, and because I had a good relationship with the old couple at the time, he excitedly took action. "
Listening to Qin Ge's laughter, everyone also heard a hint of helplessness in it. Especially Guanghui, she had seen too many separations of life and death, and this was also the helplessness of the ship girl and the commander.
"But later it was he who sent me away and boarded the passenger ship from Minghai City to Shenhua City. As for what happened later, you all know that I entered the Commander Academy, became an assistant teacher of the strategy and tactics class, and summoned you." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Commander, have you ever thought about going back to Minghai City to see them?" asked the Centaur.
"Of course I have thought about it, but not now." Qin Ge smiled and said, "Isn't there a saying that goes 'return home in glory'? So I want to wait until I have achieved something before returning."
"Well, I believe that in the near future, we will go back with the commander to see Lao Wan whom you just mentioned." The Centaur said firmly to Qin Ge.
"Haha, I believe it too." Qin Ge said with a smile.
At this time, a steady voice came from the communication device, "Commander Qin Ge, we are ready. We can set off at any time. What's the situation on your side?"
Qin Ge took the communicator and said, "Everything is ready here, and we are ready to set off at any time."
"OK!"
