Chapter 24: First Encounter with Anshan
" Commander , please have some tea."
While Qin Ge was waiting, Taiyuan came to Qin Ge and the other two with three cups of tea and nodded to them politely.
"Thank you." Qin Ge, Noshiro and the Centaur thanked Taiyuan.
"You're welcome." Taiyuan said with a smile while holding the tray.
"Why are you sisters living here? Although I don't know what the exercise is like, it will definitely be very noisy. How can you rest well here?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Sister Anshan likes it. We have been on combat readiness duty all our lives but have never experienced actual combat. So Sister Anshan decided to live here so that we can be closer to the real artillery fire and it will be more convenient to guard the academy." Taiyuan said with a smile.
Qin Ge was in awe when she heard these words. The Four King Kongs were four destroyers in the early days of the founding of her country. With the efforts of them and their naval predecessors, they protected the territorial waters of the Republic and were loyal guards. The Anshan destroyer was the farthest-traveling destroyer in the world. The bitterness and perseverance, bravery and loyalty behind this are the greatest heritage of the Republic's navy.
"Then you can take a good rest during this holiday." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Well, it's precisely because of this holiday that Sister Anshan went to see the hawthorns during the day. Otherwise, during the hawthorn blossom season in May and June, she could only go at night. Sometimes because of night exercises, she wouldn't have the chance to go for a long time." Taiyuan said to Qin Ge.
As they were talking, the sound of a door opening came from the room next to them. Taiyuan looked over happily, "That door opening sound must be from Sister Anshan."
Qin Ge, Noshiro and the Centaur looked towards the door and saw a ship girl with green hair and wearing a navy uniform walking in. The most eye-catching thing about her was the little dragon horns on her head.
"Hey, Taiyuan and...are you Commander Qin Ge? And your ship girl Noshiro and Centaur, right? I am the lead ship of the Anshan-class destroyer, Anshan, nice to meet you." Anshan walked towards Qin Ge and the others and said politely.
Qin Ge stood up and smiled at Anshan, "Hello." His ship girl Noshiro and Centaur also greeted Anshan.
Then, Qin Ge took out the certificate that the Prince of Wales had given him and handed it to Anshan, "Anshan, this certificate from the dean allows me to temporarily rent two fighter jets and an anti-aircraft gunboat from you. Please check it out."
Unexpectedly, Anshan took Qin Ge's certificate with a smile and put it directly into his pocket without even looking at it.
"What is this?" Qin Ge looked at Anshan's actions with some confusion, so he asked curiously.
Anshan smiled and said, "In fact, the dean has already called me to inform me of Commander Qin Ge's purpose of coming, so I came back from Hawthorn Grove in such a hurry."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to disturb your mood." Qin Ge said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing. The hawthorn forest is right there and I can go see it anytime. On the contrary, Commander Qin Ge, as an assistant instructor at the academy, urgently needs ship equipment to practice his tactical knowledge. This is the key matter." Anshan became serious when he said these words.
"You're too kind." Qin Ge said a little embarrassedly.
Unexpectedly, Anshan shook his head and said, "As weapons, we shipgirls have a certain degree of tactical awareness, but we are far inferior to humans in formulating tactics, of course, except for a few shipgirls who are almost as smart as demons. So when we fight normally, we rely on our past experience and instincts engraved in our bones.
Although such experience will work better than some tactics when facing a small number of enemies, when facing a large Siren fleet, the commander's orders are the necessary conditions to determine the outcome of a battle. Sometimes, a correct order can defeat an enemy fleet that is several times larger than your own, but sometimes, a wrong order can ruin the entire fleet.
Therefore, it is not only us shipgirls who decide the fate of mankind, but also the commanders. The more professional they are, the greater our chances of victory. Commander Qin Ge is the one who will teach them this knowledge as an assistant, so the dean values you so much. "
"Then are teachers who can teach tactical command so scarce?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully, because the Blue Academy was established not overnight, so there shouldn't be such a shortage of strategic and tactical theoretical talents, right?
"You have to know that decades ago, the first batch of commanders were actually the remaining soldiers of the original navy. The ships they used at that time were completely different from ours, and they were not as complete as ours. They didn't even have aircraft carriers at that time. So in the beginning, the sacrifice rate of commanders and ship girls was very high, especially in large-scale naval battles.
Later, some people finally began to pay attention to the tactics and strategies of large-scale and small-fleet operations, but most commanders died on the battlefield, and only a few survived. In the face of different situations, the strategies and tactics that should be used are ever-changing. Many commanders wrote their own experiences into books, which were preserved, but they were not systematic.
And as these commanders' positions become higher, their daily affairs are also very busy. I believe Commander Qin Ge must have heard that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, right? So they are stationed in key positions all year round to prevent large-scale invasions by the Sirens, and they rarely have time to explain tactics and strategies to the younger generation. "Anshan said.
Following Anshan's detailed narration, Qin Ge finally understood the current serious situation of the station, and also understood why the Prince of Wales could exempt him from 3 million Donghuang coins just to let him stay as an assistant coach.
"So that's how it is. The reason why the dean asked me to be an assistant teacher is to let me enlighten them about strategies and tactics so that they can pay more attention to strategies and tactics and survive in future battles." Qin Ge nodded and said.
"Well, I'm glad you understand the dean's good intentions." Anshan said with a smile, "You sit here and rest first. I'll go get you the ship equipment."
Qin Ge smiled and said, "When I came here just now, it was Fushun who received me, and she has already gone to get the ship's core. She might come out soon."
"Oh, I didn't expect that Fushun, who is usually naughty, would become helpful this time." Anshan said with a smile.
At this moment, a figure walked down the stairs nearby, "Sister Anshan, I heard it."
Anshan and Qin Ge looked towards the direction where the sound came from, only to see Fushun walking down the stairs holding a box and looking towards them.
"Haha, have you got the ship equipment?" Anshan asked Fushun with a smile.
"I've got it." Fushun shook the box in his hand and said with a smile.
The Centaur and Noshiro on the side looked at the box in Fushun's hand with burning eyes...
