Chapter 87: The Result of the Siren Tide
Writing a book is not something that can be done overnight. During this period, you need to consult countless materials and consult many ship girls or commanders who have been on the battlefield.
However, because they are in the academy, it is not easy to find commanders who have been on the battlefield, but there are a lot of ship girls who have been on the battlefield.
After all, every ship girl who can teach at the Commander Academy has experienced the baptism of the battlefield before she has the qualifications and experience to come to the Commander Academy to teach.
And because of the special approval of the Prince of Wales, he did not need to attend other courses during the writing process. So during this period of time, Qin Ge's life was basically a straight line.
He got up in the morning and did some morning exercises, then went straight to the library, while his several ship girls went to the lecture hall for classes. After the ship girls finished their classes, they returned to the library and asked him to have dinner together, and after dinner they returned to the library again to look up information.
Occasionally, he would go to Mikasa or Aurora next door to learn from them. However, if Qin Ge had to choose, he would rather go to Mikasa more often, because if he went to Aurora, Aurora would drink with him every time, and he would feel dizzy after drinking, and he would not be able to write books.
And because he often overworked his brain, it was easy for him to fall asleep on the table while writing. Many times, Belfast came to wake him up, or the Centaur.
Every time this happened he would smile apologetically, shake his dizzy head, and continue with his work.
September slipped away from our fingertips in the midst of such efforts, and October followed.
The arrival of October also marks the arrival of the annual Siren Tide. This year's Siren Tide was not delayed. In the first few days of October, the fleets of major cities all felt the omen of the coming of the Siren Tide.
The number of Siren ships in the coastal defense zone increased, and from time to time there were reports that small fishing villages on the shore were attacked by Siren ships.
Finally, on the eighth day of October, the overwhelming Siren army appeared in the sea outside the defense areas of the large fleets near various cities, and the bloody battle began.
Even though Qin Ge was in the Commander Academy, he could hear the sound of artillery fire coming from the ocean in the distance and the smell of gunpowder in the air.
Although the courses at the Commander Academy are still going on, many people have no intention of attending classes these days because a real war is taking place not far from where they are taking classes.
The sound of the cannon lasted for nearly half a month. During this half a month, there were only the commanders of the first and second grades in Qin Ge's classroom.
The other commanders who came to the lecture hall to listen to the lectures did not come. Qin Ge did not know how many of the commanders who often came to listen to his lectures would survive after the Siren Tide. But he believed that there would be good news.
Sure enough, at the end of October, the Prince of Wales called him into his office and told him the news in person.
"How is your book writing going recently?" Prince of Wales said to Qin Ge who was sitting down.
"Okay, everything is going well. Now the first volume has been completed." Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales.
"That's right!" The Prince of Wales nodded with a smile.
"The dean looks so happy, there must be good news, right?" Qin Ge asked as he looked at the Prince of Wales' smile.
"Yes, the first reason I called you here today is to ask you about your recent book writing progress, and the second reason is to tell you about the situation in Donghuang during this Siren Tide." said Prince of Wales.
"How is it? Is the loss serious?" Qin Ge asked hurriedly.
"This time during the Siren Tide, the large fleet within the Shenhua City area defended against the Siren's offensive across the board, and the casualty rate dropped by two times compared to last year." Prince of Wales said excitedly.
"Twice?" Qin Ge nodded.
Prince of Wales looked at Qin Ge and smiled. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy about such casualties? This is all caused by you. Your triangle defense tactics were used to the greatest extent in this battle. Even some small fleets successfully annihilated the Siren fleet in their area, achieving unprecedented success."
Qin Ge smiled at the Prince of Wales. "Although I know that soldiers cannot have such emotions, although the casualty ratio has decreased, there are still lives behind these casualty figures. I know that people will die in war, but when this scene is placed in front of me, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
The Prince of Wales nodded. "Actually, this is the feeling of a normal person. After all, these are all living beings. However, this is also near Shenhua City. In other coastal cities, the casualties are similar to last year.
That is why I say it is because of you. Because of you, they have received the most suitable tactics and methods for defense and gained the confidence to win the war, so I hope you can focus all your energy on writing the book during this period of time. "
"Don't worry, once I've almost finished writing the division, I can publish one book first." Qin Ge nodded and said.
"Very good. When the time comes, you can give me what you have written and I will review it. If there are no problems, I will directly hand it over to the research area next to our college for printing . We will try to get these books into the hands of the commanders of various large fleets as soon as possible, so that they can have the same strategies and tactics as the commanders in Shenhua City in future wars." said the Prince of Wales.
"I see." Qin Ge nodded, and then as if remembering something, he said to the Prince of Wales, "When I finish writing this book, I want to start accepting commissions like the second-year students."
"Oh? You want to leave the academy?" the Prince of Wales asked doubtfully.
“Yes, because all my shipgirls have now passed the first breakthrough, and Centaur and Noshiro are almost ready for the second breakthrough.
By the time I had almost finished writing this book, they should all have passed the second breakthrough, so I calculated based on the strength of the second-year students and I was almost ready to accept commissioned tasks.
And there are many tactics that can only be tested on the battlefield , so this is a must for me." Qin Ge said to the Prince of Wales.
After hearing what Qin Ge said, the Prince of Wales nodded continuously, "Indeed, many tactics must be verified in actual combat countless times. I understand your desire to do a commission. When you finish writing this book, come to me directly and I will arrange it for you."
"Thank you, Dean." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"You're welcome. This is all for Donghuang and Azur Lane," said the Prince of Wales.
"Yeah, for Azur Lane!"
