Chapter 92: Fortune and Misfortune
Looking at the two hours displayed on the screen, Qin Ge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because within these two hours, there are only two possible options in this heavy builder.
One is the Baltimore class of the White Eagle, and the other is the Admiral Hipper class of the Iron Blood.
"Both of these two levels of ship girls have left behind many legendary battles. No matter which one I choose, it will be a good deal." Qin Ge looked at the time on the builder screen with some excitement and couldn't help but clench his fists.
So he took out the quick construction tool, put it into the groove under the builder, and pressed the start button at the same time.
With the rumbling sound of the builder, the two-hour time on the builder's screen instantly returned to zero, and the hatch slowly opened at the moment it returned to zero.
As they opened, the thick fog gradually spread out, and a golden light also shone through. When the hatch of the builder was fully opened, the smoke also dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of Qin Ge.
She was wearing a red and black military uniform and had long white hair, but there was a red highlight near her left eye, and two red hairpins held the ponytails in place.
"I am the miracle of the Iron-Blooded Third Reich, Admiral Hipper's third ship, Prince Eugen. I can survive any kind of battle!" Prince Eugen said to Qin Ge.
However, as she narrowed her eyes, Qin Ge realized that the Prince Eugen she summoned was examining her. Faced with such scrutiny, Qin Ge would not back down. "Hello, Prince Eugen, my name is Qin Ge, and I will be your commander from now on."
Prince Eugen raised his left hand and touched his lips. "Hmm... Are you the commander? Then how happy can you make me? I am really looking forward to it~"
"Happy?" Qin Ge asked with some confusion.
"That's what it means." Prince Eugen said calmly.
"Oh." Qin Ge nodded as if he understood, but then shook his head as if he didn't understand. After all, Prince Eugen's performance was very different from that of other ship girls.
However, these did not affect Qin Ge's happiness, because in his world, Prince Eugen was a very famous heavy cruiser.
During her first service, she experienced the Battle of the Denmark Strait together with Bismarck. During Operation Sebrs, Prinz Eugen returned to Germany unscathed. After the end of World War II, Prinz Eugen was the only large surface warship still operational in the German Navy.
The most famous one is that during Operation Crossroads, she survived the explosion of two atomic bombs and was not seriously damaged. Therefore, she is often called the lucky ship or the immortal ship.
But Qin Ge is not a fool, he certainly won't tell these things directly to Prince Eugen. After all, for a ship, the lucky ship actually represents loneliness.
Because one's own luck will highlight the misfortune of one's companions, just like Shirataka's Enterprise and Sakura Empire's Yukikaze.
If it was a giant steel ship, they could still joke with the crew on it, but at this time they had turned into young girls, and what they said was a mockery of them.
Of course, except for some heartless ones...
As for the somewhat mysterious Prince Eugen, Qin Ge decided to keep getting to know each other in the future. Although there are a few hints in the Ship Girls' Guide, this can only be used as a reference, because the growth environment of each Ship Girl is different.
"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, let me introduce your companions to you first." Qin Ge said to Prince Eugen.
"Of course." said Prince Eugen.
So Qin Ge packed up the Mind Cube and the remaining supplies placed at his feet, and brought Prince Eugen to the front of the ship girls.
"Let me introduce myself." Qin Ge had just said this when he was interrupted by his own ship girl.
"Commander, you don't need to introduce this person. After all, who doesn't know the iron-blooded Prince Eugen?" Veneto said to Qin Ge with a smile.
"Veneto, the flagship of the Sardinian Empire?" Prince Eugen said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the commander's fleet would have someone like you. I'm starting to find this interesting."
"Do you two know each other?" Qin Ge asked doubtfully.
"No, I just heard of it. After all, Iron Blood was our ally for a period of time, so of course I have some understanding of our allies. " Veneto said to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge nodded, "Then today's summons end here. Let's go home first. I'll help you arrange your dormitories."
"Hey, Commander, don't you still have so many supplies and Rubik's Cubes? Aren't you going to use them up?" Veneto asked with some confusion.
Qin Ge shook his head. "My original plan this time was to build three ship girls. Now that I have built you three, there is no need for me to waste supplies anymore."
"Oh, Commander, why do you want to build three ship girls?" Prince Eugen asked with interest.
Qin Ge replied, "Because our fleet was previously equipped with an aircraft carrier and two light cruisers. So we are not bad in terms of mobility, and air defense is not bad either, but the only thing we lack is firepower and frontal capability.
Therefore, heavy cruisers and battleships were built to make up for the lack of firepower and frontal capabilities, while destroyers were built to more conveniently explore the enemy situation, terrain, and vision. "
"So our current fleet consists of a heavy cruiser, a destroyer, two light cruisers, an aircraft carrier and a battleship?" Prince Eugen said.
"That's right." Qin Ge nodded.
"It's really a mediocre configuration. The firepower is not outstanding, the air defense is not outstanding, and the front is not outstanding. It has nothing." Prince Eugen smiled, "Can you tell me, Commander, why did you do this?"
Qin Ge nodded. "It is precisely because this configuration is very moderate that I chose it. Because moderation means high practicality. No matter what situation we encounter, we can come up with a countermeasure. We will not be like those who take extreme routes and become dumbfounded when they encounter situations that they cannot cope with."
"It's a reasonable explanation, but if it goes to extremes, it means being able to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost." Prince Eugen said without retreating.
"But our current fleet is still in its early stages. We can only consider applicability temporarily , but cannot directly consider targeting." Qin Ge smiled at Prince Eugen.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I've met a worthy opponent like this. Commander, I'm really looking forward to seeing you." Prince Eugen said to the spirited Qin Ge. At this moment, she truly recognized Qin Ge.
