Chapter 270 The Arrival of the Second Camp
"The second camp has arrived in Sakura Empire!" Zuikaku said to Qin Ge, Mikasa and others while sitting on the tatami in the living room.
"Oh? I wonder which camp is coming second? Is it the Northern Alliance?" Mikasa asked.
Shokaku shook his head, "No, it's White Eagle."
"White Eagle?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully, "But according to the distance they traveled, shouldn't they be the third or fourth to arrive?"
"But they are here now. The leaders of the White Eagle team this time are Washington and North Carolina, and they are being received by Hiei now," said Shokaku.
"Washington and North Carolina?" Qin Ge looked at Mikasa in surprise, and Mikasa was also confused.
Because according to her previous guess, the person White Eagle is most likely to send this time is Saratoga. Because usually, all White Eagle's diplomatic affairs are done by Saratoga.
"Why is it the North Carolina sister? Wasn't the Lexington sister in charge of White Eagle's diplomacy before?" Mikasa was also very curious.
"Perhaps this gathering is unusual in itself, so White Eagle is now sending out its most elite battleships." Zuikaku said.
"This is getting more and more interesting. I'm curious about what the Northern Alliance discovered in the Arctic ice field last time that could cause the other camps to act out of character." Mikasa said with narrowed eyes.
Because the arrival of the North Carolina sisters and the arrival of the Lexington sisters represented a fundamental change in meaning.
"Why are you so nervous when Washington comes?" Qin Ge asked with some confusion.
"Because Washington and Saratoga represent two different intentions of the White Eagle camp." Mikasa said to Qin Ge.
"What do you mean?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Qin Ge, you have Lexington, so you should know what Lexington's profession is, right?" Mikasa asked Qin Ge.
"Oh, Lexington often says that he is an idol, but what does this have to do with Washington?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Of course it has a lot to do with it." Mikasa said, "Although the White Eagle is now the leader of the Enterprise camp, it is divided into two factions in terms of diplomacy.
One is the faction headed by the Lexington class. Because they are idols and have a very good reputation in other camps, the main diplomacy of the White Eagle is handled by them.
However, when discussing serious issues, White Eagle generally does not send them as envoys, but instead sends a group headed by North Carolina. They are White Eagle's powerful battleships, used to safeguard White Eagle's own interests.
So now you know why I said this incident was unusual.”
Listening to Mikasa's words, Qin Ge nodded, his face began to become serious. Mikasa had said before that the duel between these academy commanders should only be an appetizer, and the real decision should be made later.
Sure enough, this prophecy has come true. The situation of the White Eagle envoys suddenly became abnormal. If the lineups of the envoys from the major camps below also start to become abnormal, then it can be confirmed that this gathering is not as simple as it seems.
"We are somewhat powerless right now, as this is not something we can get involved in. Let's just act as the vanguard first." Qin Ge shrugged and said.
Indeed, in front of the nine major camps, no matter who it is, they all seem so powerless.
Mikasa also nodded, and Shokaku and Zuikaku on the other side looked at each other. Although they were also high-level officials of the Sakura Empire, decision-making matters like this still had to be left to Akagi and Kaga.
No matter how much the two of them have a disagreement with Akagi Kaga, Akagi Kaga is still the one in power in Sakura Empire, and only they can bring the greatest benefits to Sakura Empire.
They are just novices when it comes to such decision-making issues, and they cannot act on impulse at this time.
"Then we can only wait until people from other camps arrive before making a decision." Qin Ge nodded, and the others also looked heavy-hearted.
Later in the evening, Qin Ge summoned several think tanks and faction leaders in his fleet to his room for a meeting. The topic of the meeting was about this faction gathering.
At the beginning, Qin Ge told everyone what he had learned today with Mikasa, Shokaku and Zuikaku. He wanted to hear his ship girl's opinion.
After hearing these things, several ship girls looked heavy-hearted.
"It seems that the situation we are facing this time is very complicated, Commander." Guanghui said solemnly.
"It's not just as simple as the complicated situation." Prince Eugen said with narrowed eyes.
"Haha, I'm a little curious. What could make the nine camps so crazy? Could it be something that can defeat the Sirens? But aren't these things meant to be shared?" Veneto said.
"We at Iron Blood have researched the most on Siren technology. Based on my memory, I don't think there is any technology that the nine camps would fight over at the same time, unless something happens that I don't know about." Bismarck said.
"That's for sure. Don't forget, there is also a Bismarck in Iron Blood. She knows what you know, but this time she has also joined the competition. That means what's coming this time is likely to be unprecedented," Prince Eugen suggested.
"It's very clear what's at stake this time. It's related to the future interests of the nine camps. No camp will give up the fight. Perhaps the future structure of Azur Lane will change because of this." Guanghui said.
At this time, Qin Ge looked at Tiancheng who had been silent, and thought of how she had been with Akagi and Kaga these days, and then asked, "Tiancheng, what do you think about this incident?"
Tiancheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, my lord. In fact, this time, perhaps this is our chance."
Qin Ge and the other ship girls all turned their eyes to Amagi in an instant. Qin Ge asked hastily, "Amagi, do you know something?"
When Qin Ge asked this question, he did not hold out hope, because it was just a thought that flashed through his mind. He said it to Tian Cheng without thinking about it, and did not expect Tian Cheng to answer yes.
However, something unexpected happened. Tian Cheng smiled and nodded, "Actually, I already know what the nine camps are fighting for this time."
"What!" All the ship girls were shocked, even Prince Eugen looked at Amagi in surprise.
"How do you know?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"My two sisters can't hide anything from me. They tell me everything with just a few words." Tiancheng said with a smile.
Qin Ge and several ship girls exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but look at Tiancheng who was confident. She saw her brown tail swaying gently behind her, like a cunning fox...
