Chapter 98: Freedom Ship Girl
"There are quite a lot of free ship girls like me on the front lines, because there are many battles breaking out on the front lines. Many times, ship girls like us are born after the battles." Guanghui replied.
Qin Ge asked doubtfully, "I know that after the battle, new shipgirls may emerge from the wreckage of the Siren, but after those shipgirls appear, won't they be taken back by the commanders who participated in the battle as their own shipgirls?"
Guanghui nodded, "That's right, but there are many times when you have to go to the next battle after this one is over. The birth of a ship girl takes time, so many commanders can't wait for that time and can only let the ship girl be born autonomously."
"I see." Qin Ge nodded. Of course he could imagine such a situation.
In the midst of the battle, the fleet that had just finished a battle received a new order. Because the situation was urgent, they didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield before rushing to the next location. This kind of thing was common.
So, as Glory said, it takes time for each ship girl to be born from the remains of the battle. In the absence of time, many commanders will choose to focus on the mission. Then the newly born ship girl will be in a state of being ownerless.
"These ship girls will look for their commanders at sea, but if they don't find one, they will be taken in by the front-line headquarters and become a new free ship girl.
Of course, many of the free ship girls on the front line are from the coastal areas. They are used to war, and when their abilities reach a certain level, they will rush to new battlefields. "Kumi said.
"So how do you deploy the Freedom Ship Girls?" Qin Ge asked.
"There are two ways to deploy the Freedom Ship Girls. One way is to follow the Grand Fleet, station with the Grand Fleet, and obey the allocation of the Grand Fleet Commander. And after the battle, the corresponding supplies will be distributed according to the merits obtained.
However, the training level of this type of ship girl is generally low, so by following the large fleet, you can try your best to ensure your own safety.
The other type is under the unified deployment of the front-line headquarters. This type of ship girl is generally very well trained because they usually perform support missions, rescue missions, or annihilation missions.
After the battle, the headquarters will give them corresponding rewards based on their battlefield performance."
Guanghui spoke to Qin Ge very seriously, and the model he described made Qin Ge think of a word, mercenary.
They do not belong to their own organization, but they can be hired to carry out missions and operations using a series of means such as resources and money.
"Then why don't these ship girls find a commander? After all, with a commander and a fleet, their welfare and survival will be much better than before, right?" Qin Ge asked.
Guanghui smiled slightly, "It's not that we don't want to find the commander, but there is no such fate afterwards."
"Fate?" Qin Ge was a little confused.
"Yes, after all, a commander is someone you need to swear allegiance to for your entire life, so you have to consider many things when looking for him," Guanghui explained.
"For example, is this commander suitable for my ideal? Does this commander's fleet have a ship with the same name? Can this commander's strength drive me to realize my greatest potential? And so on."
"That's right. After all, a ship girl is a girl after all. If she wants to be loyal to a man, she must have higher standards. How should I put it? It's just like choosing a boyfriend?" Qin Ge said with understanding.
“Haha, Commander Qin Ge’s analogy is not quite appropriate, but it’s not far off.” Guanghui said with a smile.
Qin Ge stretched out his hand and scratched his head. "Please forgive my imagination. With my knowledge, this is all I can think of."
"It doesn't matter. Commander Qin Ge is talking about only one type of relationship. Of course, there are other types of relationships." Guanghui explained patiently, "For example, like-minded friends, trustworthy superiors and subordinates, or partners who suit your temperament, etc."
"That's true. What I said just now was a bit narrow-minded." Qin Ge smiled awkwardly.
"It's not narrow-minded, but what you just said is more in line with the mainstream." Guanghui said, "In fact, KanColle is just a girl with the power of a battleship, and she also hopes to be loved and treated gently.
So many free ship girls choose a commander, basically looking for someone they can trust their whole life with."
"Yeah." Qin Ge nodded.
"Of course, there are also many free ship girls who don't want to find a commander. Maybe they are used to it and no longer want to have that feeling of bond," said Guanghui.
"Oh, there are actually such ship girls?" Qin Ge expressed some doubts, but he was just confused for a moment. After all, many ship girls grew up in different environments, and the subjective personalities they formed in the future were different.
"Of course there are. There are many around me like that." Guanghui said with a smile.
"So what kind of glory is it?" Qin Ge couldn't help but ask.
Guanghui looked directly at Qin Ge, "Which one do you think I am, Commander Qin Ge?"
Qin Ge was a little overwhelmed by Guanghui's gaze for a moment, and could only answer obediently, "I don't know."
"Then wait until Commander Qin Ge guesses it, and then I will tell you." Guanghui said playfully.
Qin Ge couldn't help but pinch his nose, not daring to look directly into Guanghui's gaze, so he lowered his eyes slightly, but what he saw was a scene that made him even more embarrassed.
Very white, very big! Qin Ge was sure that Guanghui's was definitely bigger than Belfast's, and should be on par with Veneto's, or even bigger than Veneto's.
So he quickly lowered his head again and put it on the notebook to cover up this embarrassing scene.
At this moment, Guanghui, who was sitting opposite Qin Ge, smiled and looked at Qin Ge who seemed a little at a loss.
At this moment, the door was opened, and it was Qin Ge's ship girls who came back. When Qin Ge heard the sound of the door opening, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and looked towards the door.
As expected, the first one to enter the door was his own ship girl, Veneto, and following closely behind was Prince Eugen and his companions.
"Hey, why is the commander at home? Weren't you called over by the dean?" Veneto said to Qin Ge, and she also noticed Guanghui sitting next to her, "Royal Guanghui?"
At this time, Guanghui also stood up and said to Veneto, "Hello, Veneto, the flagship of the Sardinian Empire."
"Oh? Commander, can you explain it?" Prince Eugen also looked at the light in front of him and looked at Qin Ge with interest.
Qin Ge suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that he was in trouble?
