Chapter 47: Oath
As Enterprise, wearing a black navy cloak, stood up, the students below burst into warm applause. The applause was so loud that it drowned out the applause for the previous two people.
People always admire heroes, especially those who are groping forward in the face of difficulties. They always want to find a benchmark for themselves, and it is no exaggeration to say that the enterprise is that benchmark.
She nodded to the people below, revealing calmness and confidence. However, when she sat down, her eyes glanced at Qin Ge, who was the most conspicuous person on the podium.
Qin Ge was looking at Qiye at this time, and their eyes met in the air. They couldn't help but nodded to each other, and then Qiye sat down.
"I can see that you are very excited. I know you all want to go to the front line and fight in the most dangerous place, but only the elite are needed there, the elite of the elite. Those who go there are at least elites with a rank of school or above, and Enterprise is the one who leads the commanders and ship girls there together with the admirals at the front line."
Prince of Wales paused when she spoke here, and looked at all the commanders with a serious face, "So you have to become the elite among the elite before you can fight side by side with her. Do you have the confidence?"
"have!"
For a moment, a deafening sound resounded through the sky. It was a bloody promise and also the oath of a group of dreamers!
"Very good! Your fighting spirit has told me that I believe some of you will go to the front line and fight alongside the Enterprise." The Prince of Wales nodded and smiled.
"Now, all the new commanders, stand up! Follow me and swear an oath to the fluttering Azur Lane flag and the Donghuang flag!" Prince of Wales said to everyone.
Everyone stood up at the same time and turned to face the fluttering Azur Lane flag and Donghuang flag. Of course, this also included Qin Ge on the stage!
"I swear that I volunteer to join Azur Lane and become a commander. I am determined to maintain and defend the peace of the ocean and prevent it from being invaded by the Sirens. I must be loyal and diligent, and do my best to defend the freedom and glory we have always cherished. Together with my ship girl, I will protect my world. May courage and strength be with me!"
Qin Ge was a little dazed for a moment as he shouted these words passionately. He still remembered that at this time of year, when he had just entered the Naval Command Academy , he and his comrades-in-arms proudly shouted those oaths in front of the national flag.
This moment was so similar to that time, with the same passionate ambition and the same surging blood. Although this was not his world, at this moment, Qin Ge felt that he had a connection with this world.
After the oath, everyone sat down, and the Prince of Wales said to them, "Congratulations on becoming a real commander, and also a first-year student of the Azur Lane Commander Academy. You are now a glorious private.
Now, it’s time to meet your future mentors at school.”
Amid the expectant eyes of all the freshmen, the Prince of Wales turned to the instructors' seat and said to all the students, "These are your instructors, responsible for teaching you various subjects. They are Mikasa, the instructor of the battleship course, Langley, the instructor of the aircraft carrier course, Admiral, the instructor of the destroyer course, Aurora, the instructor of the cruiser course, Commando, the instructor of the submarine course and the battlefield self-rescue and sanitation course, Maryland, the instructor of the combat and physical fitness course, Myoko, the instructor of the discipline course, and Qin Ge, the assistant instructor of the strategy and tactics course, who is a freshman like you this year!
And the many senior shipgirls and humans who have served you in your studies and lives."
As the Prince of Wales called the names, Mikasa and the others stood up one by one, welcoming the applause of the crowd. However, when it was Qin Ge's turn, everyone was stunned for a moment before they started to applaud. At this time, in the VIP , the eyes of Enterprise and Canglong could not help but stagnate, and they all looked at Qin Ge.
The company was originally very interested in Qin Ge's position as a tutor, but no matter how she thought about it, she never thought that Qin Ge would be an assistant teacher for the strategy and tactics course. Now that she heard the Prince of Wales speak of it, she was surprised beyond words. After all, she was on the front line, and she knew very well the importance of strategic and tactical decisions in a battle.
Although she had many questions in her mind, she did not interrupt the Prince of Wales' speech. After all, she had just arrived at the Azur Lane Commander Academy today, and compared to the Prince of Wales who had been here longer, she did not know much.
Without understanding, there is no right to speak, so the company decided to wait until after the meeting and then find the Prince of Wales to find out more about Qin Ge's situation.
Next, there were speeches by the tutor representatives and the student representatives. The opening ceremony finally came to an end with a speech by the Prince of Wales.
"After the opening ceremony, all first-year commanders will stay. Ninghai and Pinghai will take you to the construction room to build the initial ship. The magic cubes and supplies will also be distributed to you there. After the construction is completed, take your own ship girl to settle down. Classes will officially begin tomorrow. Finally, I wish you a successful construction! Meeting adjourned!" Prince of Wales said to the commanders below.
"oh!"
With a burst of thunderous cheers, the opening ceremony officially ended. Qin Ge then stood up and followed Mikasa to the faculty area.
On the other side, after the Prince of Wales saw off the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Siyuan, he brought Canglong and Enterprise to her office.
As soon as they entered the office, the Prince of Wales made tea for the two of them and asked with a smile, "Just say it directly if you have anything to say. You two have been hesitant all the way. This is not like your character."
Enterprise and Canglong looked at each other, and Enterprise said, "Wales, although you are not on the front line now, I believe that as the principal of the Azur Lane Commander Academy, you will better understand the importance . And I believe you have your reasons for appointing Commander Qin Ge as the assistant teacher of the strategy and tactics class, but I still want to hear your explanation of what kind of talent he has that made you make this appointment."
The Prince of Wales placed the tea in front of the two men with a smile and said, "Let me ask you a question. In a battle, what do you think is the most important thing for both the enemy and us?"
Enterprise and Canglong looked at each other, "Intelligence, what does this have to do with Commander Qin Ge?"
The Prince of Wales smiled and said, " How much had we experienced by the time we realized the importance of intelligence?"
"This..." Canglong was speechless for a moment.
Enterprise's eyes lit up, "We didn't know that until we had our first large-scale army battle with the Sirens."
"That's right." Prince of Wales smiled, "When I asked Qin Ge this question, he didn't hesitate at all and answered it directly!"
