Chapter 189 Failure and Expectation
The competition for the top eight was finally over. In addition to Chen Baijun who had a bye, two other players from Qin Ge's Xinghai Fleet successfully advanced. One was Zhang Xiaotian and the other was Li Chenming.
Several people couldn't help but be full of good luck in this round. First, Chen Baijun was given a bye, and then Zhang Xiaotian drew another freshman among the top 15 besides him and Li Chenming.
The last time we met the ship girl together, Zhang Xiaotian also built his second ship girl, and this ship girl is called Yang Yan. She likes to call us "our generation" and looks like a little adult. Her torpedo attack is very powerful.
Ordinary destroyers need to hit two or more torpedoes to sink a ship, but her powerful torpedo attack only needs to hit one torpedo.
Therefore, combined with the high-speed maneuvers and cover attacks of his previous ship, anyone who dared to taste the Kagerou's torpedoes would be completely sunk.
Just like this, they advanced all the way to the quarterfinals. On the other hand, Li Chenming, who had two iron-blooded giants, made it through by relying on solid training and matching.
Although Admiral Hipper was often ridiculed by Prince Eugen for her blonde hair, flat chest and tsundere character, as a Hipper-class heavy cruiser, even though Admiral Hipper was an elite-class ship, it also possessed astonishingly terrifying defenses, which was particularly evident during exercises.
Its survival strength is almost that of a battleship. Although its attack is not outstanding, it has directly reached the top 8 with the cooperation of Z1's attack.
As for the other few people, they encountered some opponents who were stronger than themselves, and they all failed in the process of 15 to 8. But this time it was also very impressive. After all, except for Chen Baijun, the others were all freshmen, and it was very good to have such a result.
As expected, in the draw for the top eight, both of them encountered strong opponents. After all, no one who could achieve this result was weak. Moreover, the four games were carried out at the same time, and the results were announced soon.
At this time, Qin Ge had already stepped down from the important task of refereeing and was now just a spectator. Because several games started at the same time, and the school also had 5 ship girls as referees, of course, the Anshan people were given priority.
So, when Zhang Xiaotian and Li Chenming walked down from the competition field, Qin Ge was there with his ship girl to greet them.
"It looks like you two are in a good mood." Qin Ge watched the two of them walk down happily. They didn't look like they had lost the game at all, but rather like they had returned victorious.
"Of course it's not bad. Although we only made it to the quarterfinals, it's still the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals of the Commander Academy." Zhang Xiaotian said excitedly.
"Indeed, there have never been freshmen in the quarterfinals before. This year, the two of us occupy two places, which is enough. Moreover, our usual exercises are mostly in team mode, so individual competitions are not our specialty." Li Chenming said to Qin Ge.
"Haha, it seems like you two are in a pretty good mood. I came here to comfort you, but I discovered that you have actually realized your strengths." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"By the way, Qin Ge." Li Chenming said to Qin Ge, "Do you think we have a chance of winning the team competition?"
"Yes, but it requires hard work, cooperation, and striving." Qin Ge said to the others, "Although I don't know how the second-year students will form a team, they will definitely have more than you in terms of ship girls, and this is the time to demonstrate the cooperation and tactical capabilities you have trained for a long time.
As long as we keep playing as usual and make the opponent lose their composure, we have a great chance of winning."
"Your words are enough." Li Chenming said with a smile.
"Will you need me to help you formulate tactics or something at that time?" Qin Ge said to Li Chenming.
"No need." Li Chenming shook his head. "We have always been following behind you, letting you worry about us. Whether it is training tactics or supplies, we need your help.
But this time we also want to prove ourselves, relying on the help you give us, relying on the resources you give us, we can also get good results. "
Qin Ge smiled after hearing what Li Chenming said, "If you think so, then do it. Regardless of the outcome, as the commander of the fleet, I am proud of you."
"Haha, then I won't chat with you anymore. We need to recruit people to form a team now." Li Chenming said.
"Okay." Qin Ge nodded, and smiled slightly as he watched Li Chenming and Zhang Xiaotian gradually leave.
"Everyone is growing." Guanghui on the side said to Qin Ge.
"Yes, everyone is growing up and maturing. When they grow up to be able to stand on their own, our fleet will officially set sail. This team competition is the time to test them.
And as a freshman, it is very impressive to be able to reach the top eight in the exercise league this time." Qin Ge said.
"Indeed, but the most regrettable thing is that the Commander was unable to participate in the exercise league." Guanghui smiled.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "My goal is no longer to be in the Commander Academy. We should set our goal further away, such as what should happen after we obtain a base."
"That's right. We should indeed think about how to arrange our time in other places after we leave the Commander Academy." Guanghui nodded and said.
"No matter what, we will always follow the commander and win victory after victory under his command." The Centaur said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge smiled, stretched out his hand and put it on the centaur's head, "Haha, although I can't say too much, I can't say discouraging words at this time, so I will definitely lead you to win victory after victory ."
"Yeah." Several ship girls nodded together.
While they were talking, the top four of the exercise league had already been determined. Chen Baijun did not disappoint the expectations of the other members of the fleet and officially entered the top four with his own ship girl.
However, the next three winners are also very famous commanders among the second graders, and they have 4 or even 5 ship girls under their command, so Chen Baijun’s next exercise league journey will not be easy at all, as everyone is a strong opponent.
But Qin Ge saw the smile on his face from afar and knew what he believed in. Sure enough, after the draw, both sides once again stepped onto the arena for the exercise.
After a tough battle, Chen Baijun successfully advanced to the finals...
