He is the commander and the admiral.

"Master is thanking Dido!? Please...please don't say that, because Dido is a maid, and serving the master is the only value of Dido's existence..."

Dido quickly waved her hand and replied, causing Roger to open his mouth but eventually shut it. Then she took Xiao Beifang, who had also woken up, to wash up and came to the dining table to prepare breakfast.

At the dinner table, Roger also said to Elizabeth: "Your Majesty, I have a few questions about Dido's situation."

"Hmm? What's wrong? She is a very capable maid in my maid team. I arranged her to help you because I value her ability. Do you think there is a problem? Or do you think she is not doing a good job?"

"It's her..."

"Master, your breakfast."

Roger was about to say something when he saw Dido coming over with breakfast, but he immediately shut up. After all, those words could not be said in front of Dido. If she heard it, she would definitely be very sad and fall into a state of self-blame.

"What is it?"

"She is really good at her job and seems to be very serious about it. I think she will be a great help in the port area in the future."

"Dido did a good job...? Ah... Master... Ah, no, this is what Dido should do! I am so honored to receive such praise from you! Dido... Dido... wuwuwu~"

Roger looked at Dido, whose face had turned red with happiness and was about to turn into a steam queen, and silently turned his gaze to Elizabeth. If possible, he really wanted Elizabeth to change the person. Of course, it’s not that he hated Dido, but this kind of personality made people worry that she might be hurt suddenly because of his unintentional actions.

Elizabeth seemed not to see it and was enjoying her breakfast. After all, she had thought about the candidate and finally decided to choose one between Belfast and Dido. She chose Dido because Dido's situation made Roger care about her more.

This is also what she learned from Glory. Regarding matters concerning ship girls, Roger would think carefully and care about their feelings. Regarding issues concerning deep-sea ships, she didn't know much, but some of the information revealed by Glory was enough for her to understand the situation a little bit more, so someone like Dido was very suitable.

Seeing that he looked helpless but could only choose to accept it silently, Elizabeth couldn't help but smile as she covered her mouth with the cup.

"Then if there are no problems, just make some preparations and get ready to go back. After all, there are a lot of things to do next, servant."

"…I see."

After finishing breakfast, Roger got up and walked towards the port with Xiao Beifang, while Dido followed closely behind him. After they arrived at the port together, everyone who had been waiting there greeted Roger with a smile.

Dido silently glanced at the team and found that she was the only one in the maid team, which made her feel even happier.

"Little North!"

When the Royal Ark saw Little North, it immediately showed an excited expression, but before she could get close, Little North had already hidden behind Roger.

"Royal Ark, please be a little more restrained. Although I know you have just been released from prison, if you continue like this and are sent to a naval court-martial, your deployment arrangements will be cancelled."

Hood said this silently, which also froze Royal Ark's expression. Then he stood there restrainedly, just staring at Xiao Beifang.

"Commander, let's set off as soon as possible. There will be a lot of fleet management work to do, and we also need to familiarize ourselves with the new environment."

The Prince of Wales was well aware that they had other tasks to do, so time was very precious now.

"When you say that, for someone like me who just came out of vacation, it makes me feel like I'm losing motivation early, Wales..."

When Roger thought about the work after returning to the port, his expression became slightly bitter.

"This is something that we have to go through, Commander. But if you feel it's too hard and you want to stay here, we will be happy to accept it and help you do the easy work. What do you think?"

"Ah... If that happens, I'm worried that I'll become a cripple..."

Chapter 40: Stealing the house directly!

"Don't be nervous, just get to know the commander."

On the command ship, Guanghui brought Unicorn to Roger so that the two could get to know each other. However, it was obviously their first meeting, so Unicorn was a little nervous. He hugged the puppet tightly in his hand, and when he followed Guanghui, he met Roger's eyes and shyly buried his face in the puppet.

"You're such a cute kid, right, Unicorn? I'll leave everything to you from now on."

Roger walked up to the unicorn, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair. The unicorn didn't seem to hate this kind of contact, and squinted her eyes to enjoy the caring head pat.

After the tension in his heart had subsided a lot, he spoke to Roger.

"I... will do my best... and Commander... can I call you brother?"

"Eh? Brother?"

Roger looked at the unicorn with his eyes full of anticipation. To be honest, he really felt that he couldn't refuse this request. Having a lovely sister is a great thing no matter how you look at it, right?

"Of course. If it's a sister like Unicorn, I'd really like her."

Seeing that Roger did not refuse and agreed with a very happy look on his face, a happy smile broke out on the unicorn's face.

"As expected, the Commander and the unicorn get along very well."

Guanghui also looked at the scene with a happy face. This kind of harmonious and friendly relationship was what she wanted to see most.

Afterwards, Unicorn and Little North became familiar with each other. After all, they were of similar size, and Little North had no resistance to making friends with Unicorn, so they quickly became familiar with each other. Seeing them playing together on the command ship made Roger very satisfied.

"But we should also give more consideration to the training aspect."

The current situation of the port fleet can be said to be completely formed, and Roger believes that the time must be determined to choose to train the first fleet.

"We'll start thinking about it after this operation is over. However, the two times we've built deep-sea ships so far are somewhat troubling."

Roger is still quite worried about what will happen with the next shipbuilding.

As the fleet sailed all the way back to the port area, light cruiser Qiji, who received the news first, immediately came to the port to greet them. Then, looking at the many ship girls who came to the port with Roger, light cruiser Qiji felt incredible that he brought back so many ship girls in one trip. She had never seen such a salvage method.

"Is everything alright in the harbor?"

"No, apart from that incident, everything else is normal. However, special arrangements have been made around the port area now, and that kind of situation will never happen again."

Roger nodded slightly. After all, the fact that the Siren could come and go freely in his own port area was somewhat stressful and worrying.

"Then Commander, let's contact White Eagle first to understand the specific situation, and then take appropriate actions according to the situation."

"it is good."

Roger did not delay this matter. He quickly returned to his office and contacted the port area of ​​White Eagle.

"Commander, you... um? Why are you by the commander's side, Wales?"

After the contact was successful, the image of the Enterprise appeared in front of Roger. When she was about to smile, she saw the Prince of Wales behind Roger and was stunned for a moment, and also asked a question.

"When I contacted the royal family before, Queen Elizabeth told me that you had already set sail. So what is the situation now?"

"Yes, we have already set sail. We are now in the Commander's port area. We would like to contact you to understand the current situation. Is there any problem?"

What's the problem? This is a big problem! Why did you run to the Commander's port area?

Enterprise, who had not expected this situation, looked deeply at the smiling face of the Prince of Wales. Now, letting Roger contact her on her behalf was as if telling her that the commander had become a member of the Royal Navy.

"Enterprise, what's wrong with you? Is the situation over there not going well?"

Seeing that something was wrong with Qiye's face, Roger couldn't help but wonder if the current situation was not ideal, so this happened.

"We don't have anything to do here for now, Commander."

Although there are no major problems in the battle situation, it is a very bad problem for the entire White Eagle. After all, someone has already started planning to steal the home.

"That's good. Seeing your expression just now, I thought something really happened."

Hearing this, Roger relaxed.

"So what is the specific situation now?"

"It's still the same as before. The battle between the two sides is currently in a state where neither side can do anything to the other. After all, we are old rivals and we know each other's situation pretty well. Although each side has wins and losses, it is not that easy to completely defeat the other side."

Just like although she had dealt a heavy blow to Kaga of the First Carrier Fleet before, the subsequent actions of the Sakura Empire did not cause too many problems.

"But recently, Iron Blood has also been making some strange moves. I'm worried that they might be planning to get involved, or doing something else unknown."

"Hmm? Tiexue, are they doing anything over there?"

It is very difficult for people not to be vigilant about some of Iron Blood's actions. As a camp that also left Azur Lane early on, the opponent's technological strength is not to be underestimated, especially in the research and use of Siren technology. There is no doubt that it has a greater advantage than others.

"I don't know. Their actions are very covert. I originally planned to follow them secretly to investigate, but they threw me off. It's obvious that they are secretly doing something unknown to the public."

Although he was unable to investigate the situation roughly, Enterprise could guess from his past experience with them that they must be doing some secret technological experiments, just like when they first acquired the Siren technology, after their initial proposals failed, they began to conduct research and experiments on their own. After they believed that their choice was not wrong, they decided to leave Azur Lane.

Chapter 41: Don’t do ridiculous things just for the sake of sticking

"We don't have the time to pay attention to them right now, not to mention that if we're not careful, it might cause some trouble and make our situation even more troublesome."

"I understand, but Commander, I have something to ask you. Are you planning to form the First Fleet?"

The action of the Prince of Wales who directly brought his men to the Roger port area forced Enterprise to pay attention. She was worried that Roger had decided to form the First Fleet with the Royal Navy as the core. If that happened, the situation would be really bad.

"Ah... this, it hasn't been completely confirmed yet. After all, you know that my shipyard is a little special."

At present, no regular ship has been built, which makes Roger very worried. Although there is nothing wrong with the deep-sea ships they have built, the problem is that some functions of the shipyard cannot be utilized, so they may be somewhat slow in becoming stronger.

Although Roger felt that even without the functions of the shipyard, Little North was already strong enough, what it lacked was only the relevant assistance and some problems brought about by different technologies.

"Oh okay."

Enterprise breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the candidates for the formation had not been decided, there was no need to worry too much. However, after all, letting the Prince of Wales and others continue to stay there was not a good idea.

"Wales, White Eagle is ready. You can definitely come to our port. After all, your current situation at the commander's port will add some burdens, and it will not be so convenient to move around."

"Please rest assured. Your Majesty has considered these matters. Not only have we arranged for the maid team to take care of and assist the commander, but we can also bear the consumption of the Royal Navy ourselves. There is no need for the commander to handle it for us. Moreover, if we are all concentrated in one place, it will only make the offensive of the Sakura Empire more fierce."

"So by separating them into two places, the Sakura Empire will be more cautious in their actions, which will make it easier for us to find opportunities."

The Prince of Wales gave a well-reasoned answer which made Roger nod his head, but Enterprise heard another meaning in it, which was that it was impossible for them to leave.

"Enterprise, I agree with what Wales said. We can act better this way. Once Sakura Empire plans to attack one of our sides, the other side will be able to react and provide support. If Sakura Empire wants to act, it will need more preparation. If we continue to consume our strength in this way, it will be beneficial to us."

The enterprise is of course aware of this, but if this continues, it will be a protracted war! And the other result of this is that the Prince of Wales can stay in the port area with his people! At that time, the other party will be equivalent to settling down there. After a long time, even if they are not the first fleet, they will be the first fleet.

"Since the commander thinks there is no problem..."

She just had some opinions in her heart, but the company couldn't say anything. In this kind of situation, she had no choice but to accept this option. She had no way to refute Roger's decision, and an unreasonable rebuttal would only make people feel disgusted.

The Prince of Wales looked at Enterprise, who seemed to have nothing to say, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Enterprise noticed her performance, and she felt even more unhappy. In the end, this contact ended with Prince of Wales looking satisfied, but Enterprise was unhappy.

"Eh? Are they stationed directly in the Commander's port area?!"

In the White Eagle Port area, Saratoga was surprised by the news told by Enterprise. After all, they never expected that the Royal Navy would take advantage of their proposed assistance this time to do such a thing. They were completely tricked. You know, they have never suffered such a big loss!

"Although the commander has not yet planned to formally form the First Fleet, if they continue like this, they will definitely succeed before New Jersey is finished and reaches the commander."

Originally, they thought the advantage was on their side, but now the Royal Navy's action has made the situation much worse. At least now, Saratoga feels that the advantage has been reduced by half.

Now they either have to find a way to make the Royal Navy leave the commander's port area, or bring the commander to their port area. In this way, no matter whether the Royal Navy follows or not, how can they possibly lose in their home ground?

"But it seems like there's nothing we can do now, right?"

Bumblebee felt that there was no suitable way to do such a thing in the current situation. It was impossible for them to deliberately create some problems, right? If the Sakura Empire seized the opportunity, it would be really bad.

"Well! If you knew it would be like this, you should have told the commander to go back to his port area before saying anything! Otherwise, you wouldn't have let the other party succeed!"

Saratoga felt very regretful. If she had taken a tougher attitude and persuaded Roger to agree, this situation would not have happened.

"Perhaps we can only wait and see how the Sakura Empire performs. To be honest, I'm actually expecting these guys to be stronger. That way, we'll have a reason to go find the commander."

"Don't keep thinking about that kind of bad idea. No matter what, you can't hold on to that kind of thought."

For Enterprise, it is okay to think about how to get close to the commander, but it is not allowed to handle important matters with that mentality for the sake of that kind of thing.

"Not to mention being defeated by them and having to go to the commander in a panic is too embarrassing."

"I just said it casually. It would be better if we performed better. Once the commander sees it, he will know who to choose as the core of the First Fleet!"

This statement allows companies to accept that using fair power and advantages to win the results they want is the right way, so they must become stronger.

Although Qiye had such high expectations in her heart, she had a subtle feeling in her body, but she did not notice this fleeting feeling. Instead, she continued to think about her next plan and some arrangements.

Chapter 42 Are all of you Royal Ship Girls like this?

"There's still no result from the headquarters."

The problem of equipment being unusable in high-level erosion sea areas has not yet been solved, which makes Roger a little worried. This also makes him somewhat hesitant to act rashly. He is very worried that the next time he attacks the sea area, a similar situation will occur.

Therefore, the staff in the port area is currently a little idle.

"Commander, why don't we have any missions to handle?"

After arriving at the port, the Prince of Wales discovered that Roger had not made any assignments for them. This situation was a little unacceptable to her. She had originally wanted to gain more opportunities to establish an advantage through preconceived excellence, but now wasn't it completely meaningless?

"Well, it's really not needed for now. Besides, isn't your main mission, Wales, to support the White Eagles when the Sakura Empire causes some trouble? If you are sent out when something goes wrong, that would be terrible."

"That's true, but I feel it's even more inappropriate for the commander to stay by your side like this and do nothing. If there's really nothing that can be done for us, then I'll find something to do myself. For example, you've been sitting at your desk for so long, do you need me to give you a massage?"

The Prince of Wales walked up to Roger and placed his hands on his shoulders.

"My massage skills are pretty good. At least they are well-received."
