Chapter 22 Red Pointy

After the three of them finished their meal, they said goodbye to Yixian. Originally, Qin Ge was going to return 200 units of supplies to Yixian before leaving, but Yixian refused him.
The reason she gave was very simple. "As a ship girl, I have worked in the academy for such a long time, so I must have some savings. But you have just become a commander, and supplies are very scarce for you. And I guess your ship girl doesn't even have the initial ship equipment. So, you need supplies more than me, and because we belong to the same academy, I have to say that this meal is my treat."
On the way to the dean's office, Qin Ge said to his two ship girls, "Miss Yixian is such a gentle person. She has her reasons for inviting us this time, but we must not forget her kindness. When we have the chance in the future, we must repay her."
"Yes, I understand, Commander." Centaur and Noshiro nodded to Qin Ge as they felt the power in their bodies slowly getting stronger. Later, just as they said now, they returned the favor of the meal. As for why, that is another story...
The three of them came to the principal's office. Qin Ge knocked on the door, and the Prince of Wales's hearty voice came from inside, "Come in."
After Qin Ge opened the door and went in with his ship girl, he saw the Prince of Wales writing something on his desk. When she heard footsteps approaching, she looked up and said to Qin Ge, "I thought you would come today based on your personality. I didn't expect you to come earlier than I thought."
"Oh, Dean, have you guessed why I came here this time?" Qin Ge said in surprise.
The Prince of Wales smiled softly, "What other reason could there be for you to come , other than your shipgirl's ship outfit?"
"That's right, it's because of their ship equipment." Qin Ge nodded in amazement and said to the Prince of Wales.

"I remember that Noshiro's initial equipment was quite complete except for the lack of anti-aircraft guns. The Centaur only had one torpedo plane formation and was missing two fighter planes, right?" asked the Prince of Wales.
Qin Ge nodded. "What the dean said is right. So I came here this time to solve the problem of these two fighters. And if I can replace them with better equipment, that would be the best."
"You have a good idea." The Prince of Wales smiled. "I can indeed solve the problem of the two Centaurs fighters for you now, but if you want to buy better ship equipment, then you will probably have to wait for a while."
"Why?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Because the grocery store in our school is not open." Prince of Wales smiled, "Our school's grocery store is run by the repair ship Akashi, and because the students of the academy are on vacation, she went to sell things somewhere else, and she will come back after school starts.
And there is everything that a ship girl needs, including various teaching materials for attacking, assisting, and defending, as well as equipment boxes, parts for strengthening ship equipment, crystals needed for ship girls to break through, mind cubes, rapid construction tools, supplies, special food for ship girls, and transformation drawings, oath rings, etc. are all for sale. "
Qin Ge nodded. "What do we need to buy there? Supplies? Or oil?"
"Most things can be bought with supplies, but there are some special things that require something similar to a red diamond, which general commanders call red tips." The Prince of Wales explained.
"So how do we get this red tip?" Qin Ge asked.
"You can get it by commissioning, exchanging for military merits, or clearing Siren strongholds." Prince of Wales said, "Because this red tip is only dropped by very powerful sirens, it is especially precious."
Qin Ge nodded. "I can , but why can I also get commissions from ordinary merchants?"
“Because Azur Lane needs the support of ordinary society, it also needs the coins you usually use, but because you can only get red tips or supplies through fighting, the commander and the merchants reached a contract at the time.
They can use ordinary coins to buy supplies or red tips, and then use them as rewards to commission. In this way, Azur Lane also obtains the support of ordinary society's coins, and the merchants' trade routes are also guaranteed to be safe. "The Prince of Wales explained.
"So that's how it is. After these merchants exchanged for supplies and red tips, they couldn't use them outside. They had to return them to the navy for digestion, thus forming a closed loop again." Qin Ge nodded, "But I have another question."

"Oh, tell me what you have to say." Prince of Wales looked at Qin Ge.
"For example, if a businessman exchanges a large amount of supplies and Red Tips , and his son or relative happens to become a commander, then can't his son or relative use these Red Tips and supplies to create more Ship Girls? After having a large number of Ship Girls, he can completely get rid of his dependence on Azur Lane, and may even pose a threat to Azur Lane." Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales.
The Prince of Wales smiled slightly. "You can think of this, which proves that you are better than most people. But you forgot that the most important point here is the ship girls. The premise of everything is the ship girls. And you can ask your ship girls, what are they fighting for?"
Qin Ge nodded, "In other words, if someone aims their artillery fire at humans or the Azure Lane, then the ship girl will take the initiative to break away from her commander?"
The Prince of Wales nodded, "That's right. But in order to prevent this from happening, we won't allow any merchant to have so many supplies and red tips. Every time a merchant issues a mission, he has to go to the Maritime Administration to register, and then after the red tips and supplies are exchanged there, the local Maritime Administration will register them, and then the Maritime Administration will issue them to all commanders and ship girls. This will not only prevent what you said before, but also avoid disagreements with humans."
"I see." Qin Ge nodded.
The Prince of Wales smiled and said, "If there is no problem, then here is a certificate. You can take this certificate to the exercise registration office to find Anshan. After she sees the certificate, she will provide you with two white fighters and anti-aircraft guns. You can let your ship girl use them first, and then after you buy your own ship equipment from Akashi, you can return the carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft guns to her."
Qin Ge reached out and took the certificate from the Prince of Wales and said to her, "Thank you, Dean."
The Prince of Wales shook his head. "No need to thank me. As an assistant teacher at the school, you have the right to borrow the ship equipment temporarily. I just gave you a certificate."
"Anyway, thank you very much, Dean." Qin Ge said.
"If you really want to thank me, then work hard and try to do well in the tactical theory classes. That will be the greatest thanks to me, the school, and the entire Azur Lane." The Prince of Wales smiled.
"must!"
