After the trial flight of Yamato, Musashi and Shotoki returned, the delegations of both sides temporarily rested separately.

The next day, the delegations of both sides accompanied the leaders of both sides to visit the Bay entrance base, visit the construction site under construction, and condolences to the engineering construction personnel of both sides.

Although the support and construction fleets sent by the Longbow Islands came voluntarily, they were also voluntarily divided into curious voluntary and voluntary that could accept conditions.

Many ship girls came here, and most of them also accepted the life here, but they were still a little nervous and had uncertain doubts about the future.

Moreover, a small number of ship girls thought a lot, and felt that they had been sold or abandoned by the joint fleet, and they felt a little resentful.

Now the leaders of both parties of the cooperation have come with a large number of senior executives and appear on the project site, which is to some extent that they have made another affirmation of the cooperation.

It greatly stabilized their emotions and reduced their doubts. Of course, it could not be completely eliminated, but the overall effect was still very good.

On the third day, the visiting teams of both sides crossed the bay and went to express condolences to the engineering staff at the base on the other side.

On the fourth day, we took a transport plane together and crossed the entire Flying Eagle Islands northwest to the westernmost part of the Flying Eagle Islands, and visited the Eagle Beak Bay Base, which was basically completed in the first phase of construction.

The construction of this base was started by the Marshal's Mansion itself, and in fact, there is no participation of the Joint Fleet Girl.

In addition, it is close enough to the local area, and early infrastructure construction has been completed. Now, ordinary human workers have begun to join and implement additional and expanded forms of construction.

On the fifth day, Yamato, at the suggestion of his subordinates, made a decision to continue to visit the Mainland of the Central Archipelago. The delegation of dozens of people from the Joint Fleet opposed this, and the reason was that it was that it was not prepared for the time being, so the fleet set out again for granted.

Because Yamato is now completely sure that Xu Xingchen will not endanger his personal safety, and everyone is very curious about life in the Central Islands, so of course they have to go over and take a look.

This time, the two sides did not have a clear formal matter to discuss during this leadership-level visit. The basic purpose was to allow leaders of both sides to meet directly to enhance understanding and trust.

During the visit, the two sides further discussed and confirmed the subsequent cooperation direction and more supplementary details.

Of course, Xu Xingchen and Yamato did not directly participate in these details, but only made the final decision after the relevant personnel discussed it.

Xu Xingchen's main task was to take Yamato everywhere. After ten days, he started from the small inland sea in Yingzhou and walked around the Central Islands.

Of course, during these ten days, six days were placed in the Marshal Yunhai’s Mansion, mainly other areas of the Pre-Admiral’s Mansion, which were similar.

Only Marshal Yunhai’s Mansion, which has industrial facilities here, is gradually upgraded to the level of the 21st century with the efforts of the engineers under Xu Xingchen.

Some new industries with local characteristics have also been specially built, such as the brewery in which Qingdao and Harbin are responsible for production and Huacheng and Guangzhou are responsible for operation.

The delegation led by Yamato, on the first day of its departure, Qingdao organized an open-air seafood barbecue party to see them off.

The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, but Yamato himself was a little confused and no longer had the energy and energy he had at the beginning.

Sitting on the plastic chair on the beach, ignoring the food on the table in front of him, he held his cheeks with one hand and looked at Xu Xingchen, who was chewing his head against the other side without saying a word.

Xu Xingchen gnawed a squid and looked up when he was free and asked:

"I'm leaving tomorrow. How are you thinking about it now?"

Yamato shook his head in a very tangled way:

"I don't know, I can't decide to come down. I'm not alone, I'm the example of the United Fleet, I..."

"If you can't decide... then go back first..."

Xu Xingchen interrupted Yamato's entanglement with some indifferent words, and then lowered his head to continue gnawing on the squid.

Yamato thought Xu Xingchen was impatient and said inexplicably:

"No, I don't mean that. You are a very good commander. You should say that there is no better commander than you, but I... But in my identity, I can't just consider my personal feelings..."

Xu Xingchen understood what Yamato meant, so he looked up again and thought about the suggestion:

"Can you hand over the position of the chief flagship to someone else and then think about your own affairs alone?"

Yamato had obviously considered the feasibility of this operation for a long time, so now he sighed helplessly and shook his head and said:

"No, no one in the United Fleet except me can get everyone's approval. If I withdraw, it is equivalent to disbanding the United Fleet..."

Xu Xingchen frowned slightly:

"Why do you try a referendum?"

Yamato was obviously stunned after hearing this:

"Referendum? What is it?"

Xu Xingchen explained his thoughts to Yamato:

"It is to publicly announce this matter to all ship girls in the United Fleet, and let all ship girls vote, agree or disagree. If the number of agreed exceeds two-thirds of the absolute majority, you come here..."

After hearing Xu Xingchen's magical idea, Yamato immediately became particularly embarrassed:

"How can I vote publicly in this kind of thing? Besides... Besides... the companions of the United Fleet follow me and the United Fleet's philosophy before they follow me.

"I chose to leave because I betrayed them, not because they betrayed me. I cannot abandon the part of my companions who disagree because a small number of them disagree..."

Xu Xingchen sighed helplessly:

"If you one hundred thousand people, as long as one of you disagrees and you can't leave, I'll have no choice..."

After Xu Xingchen said that, he stopped gnawing on the squid, leaned on the chair, and looked at the beach not far away.

Yamato immediately said very nervously:

"You are very angry now, right? It's all my fault. I've disappointed you, right?"

Xu Xingchen glanced at Yamato and didn't say anything. After getting along these days, Xu Xingchen had gradually figured out Yamato's character.

She is really not a suitable person to be a leader. She looks very fierce. After a long time, you can find that it is not that true at all...

Yamato obviously realized this, and his tone was particularly melancholy:

"Don't think that my joint fleet seems to have a very high popularity and appeal, but I am not actually a decisive person.

"Other... Otherwise, the base camp would not have survived until this time, and it would have become what it is now..."

Xu Xingchen shook his head helplessly and said:

"You have so many ship girls in your joint fleet, and each of them has received your promise. Do you want to keep the current system unchanged forever?

"Did you continue to preach, make continuous commitment and publicity over the years, and always maintain your existence as an independent ship girl organization?

"Have you made a promise not to sign a contract with the commander, become a contracted ship girl, or never leave the joint fleet?"

Yamato shook his head subconsciously:

"No... it should not be made public and continue to make promises, but these are all customary and are the rules that everyone defaults to..."

Xu Xingchen completely gave up the quick guide and sighed and said the long-term work plan:

"Since that's the case... After you go back, try to cooperate with us and send the ship girl of the joint fleet to our Marshal's Mansion.

"When all the ship girls leave the joint fleet and join the Marshal's Mansion, and you are the only one left there, you can decide for yourself, right?

"Or, after the ship girl is reduced to a certain number, you can persuade and guide her in a targeted manner so that the rest of them can accept it.

"How do you think of this plan?"

Yamato nodded slowly with a sad face:

"Although I don't know how much time it takes... I can only do this for the moment... I'm really sorry..."

Xu Xingchen thought about it, tried to reach out, held Yamato's hand, comforted as gently as possible and said:

"In fact, it's better to delay it, so that you can see my nature better and have room for regret..."

Yamato subconsciously wanted to hide, but in the end he held back, and then said with some chagrin:
Chapter completed!
