He is the commander and the admiral.

Chapter 280 Something Unacceptable

After calming the monarch down, Roger also learned about her situation. It was because she had been hidden for too long. She watched others show their skills on various battlefields, while she could only hide and train continuously. However, no matter how she trained, she never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield. She was very dissatisfied with this result.

This is also the reason why she has always wanted to have the opportunity to show herself. She wants to prove her strength and value, and should not be hidden like this.

"I understand your situation, but it's really not suitable for fighting now. For example, there are three Sangvishes ships in the open. Do you think you can guarantee victory by relying on you, the Vanguard, and the fleets in Scapa Flow? Not to mention that in this case, we have no reason to conflict."

"I'm sorry, Commander."

The monarch lowered her head slightly. She wanted to prove herself so much that she became careless in her consideration of things and did not give special consideration to other things.

"It's okay. I know why you're like this. If the relationship between Your Majesty and I hadn't progressed, even Cheshire might still be in hiding. She wouldn't take out the hidden things until the critical moment. Iron Blood is the same in this regard, but she will do better than Your Majesty."

"I will talk to His Majesty when I have a chance and ask him to let you participate in the mission. Otherwise, if you continue, your mental state will be in trouble sooner or later."

After all, the monarch's feeling of being abandoned is really impossible to ignore. In order to avoid the other party from having wild thoughts or having any emotions towards Elizabeth and the others, Roger feels that the situation in this regard needs to be changed. At least the monarch should not be kept out of touch with anything.

Once she feels involved, this situation will be alleviated a lot.

"I'll be looking forward to your performance."

"I will not let you down, Commander. I will let the whole world know how excellent and powerful I am."

Looking at the monarch who suddenly became very energetic, although Roger didn't know what was going on, he was still very happy that she was like this. At least it was much better than before.

"Then we should go in too. Otherwise, it would be very inappropriate to keep them waiting for too long."

After entering Scapa Flow, Roger saw the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls who were busy preparing something, and then came to Frederick the Great.

"Are we preparing for that artificial singularity now?"

"Yes, this project will take some time to prepare, but not too much time. During the subsequent start-up period, we also need to pay attention to the defense of Scapa Flow."

"Be on guard? If it's the ship girls from Azur Lane, I don't think it's necessary. I just need to explain the situation a little bit, and they won't attack here."

Roger felt that it was unnecessary to be on guard against them, but Frederick the Great shook his head, indicating that the people he wanted to be on guard against were not them at all.

"I'm talking about the Sirens. From now on, as long as things succeed, it will be a war with the Sirens."

"Siren? Could it be that there is a Siren fleet nearby?"

"Impossible. The waters near Scapa Flow are always being patrolled. If the Siren Fleet exists, we can't just leave it alone."

Vanguard immediately responded and said that such a thing was absolutely impossible, which could almost be said to be questioning the ability of the Royal Navy.

"Of course, I believe this, but this is only on the surface. The real opponent is still hiding. In order to find the opponent's position, we have tried our best to find the clues."

"Really? It can be said that Iron Blood is really amazing in this regard. If this can also be done, then the Siren problem may not be such a headache."

Azur Lane had no idea about things like this, and they didn't even find a clue, but Iron Blood did it so smoothly, it's really admirable.

"If the commander wants, Iron Blood welcomes your cooperation. However, based on the current intelligence, it is still difficult to avoid headaches due to the Sirens. After all, the Sirens that have been fighting with us have never been a combat unit, but an experimental agency responsible for conducting various experiments on us."

"Huh? Not a combat unit?"

This result surprised Roger. It meant that his people were suppressed by the Siren's non-combat troops. Then how strong would their special combat troops be?

Roger didn't dare to imagine such a thing, it even seemed a little scary.

The vanguard saw that Roger's face suddenly became much uglier because of Frederick the Great's words. When he was thinking of persuading him a little to calm him down, Frederick the Great had already reached out and touched the back of Roger's head.

"Don't worry. We are not strong enough for them to target us at the moment. They have their own enemies. Therefore, we are still safe now. We don't need to worry about being noticed by you. However, we definitely cannot continue to do this forever."

After all, no one likes this kind of situation, and the only way to get rid of it is to keep getting stronger, until all the Sirens can no longer influence them.

"…Of course, but isn't it inappropriate for you to behave like this?"

Roger felt strange being patted on the head like a child, and he was a little confused as to why Frederick the Great did this.

"I think this seems to be working. At least you don't seem to be so worried about it anymore."

Roger felt that Frederick the Great seemed to enjoy it and seemed to like being with him in this way. It felt strange, as if he had an extra caring elder.

The vanguard looked at this situation and couldn't help but cough a few times as a reminder. No matter what, as the commander of the royal family and the husband of Her Majesty Elizabeth, being touched on the head and treated like a child by an iron-blooded man was really damaging to the face and image of the royal family.

Chapter 281 The two people's thoughts

“This is about right.”

Roger, who could not bear this situation and the avant-garde gaze, reached out and took Frederick the Great's hand away from his head, and then continued to look at the situation on the sea to divert his attention.

And as time goes by, it is determined that the preparations have been completed.

"Then open the Gate of Avalon."

After the order was given, Roger saw a surprising scene. On the sea surface inside Scapa Flow, a red and black sun-like object emerged from the sea surface, and a huge hole seemed to appear in the sea water below. The sea water continued to flow down, and the splashing water vapor formed a beautiful rainbow under the sunlight.

"Is this the singularity that can connect to other worlds?"

Roger was a little stunned by this unprecedented situation, but he quickly turned his head to look at Frederick the Great beside him.

"The next step is to go through this singularity and head to Scapa Flow in the past time?"

"Yes, this is the first thing to do, but Commander, you don't have to go for this kind of thing. Of course, I won't stop you if you want to go."

"No! Commander, we can't take risks like this."

When Frederick the Great said this, the Vanguard on the side immediately spoke up to dissuade him. What would the result of an artificial singularity like this be? The Vanguard didn't dare to let Roger take the risk without being familiar with it. After all, he was just an ordinary person. The ship girl might be fine, but what if there was a problem with him?

“This is indeed an issue that we have to pay attention to.”

Frederick the Great did not refute. She had no way of guaranteeing whether it was safe for ordinary people to pass through the artificial singularity. After all, this was not an experimental attempt. Moreover, such things did not take up much time. Although it was a pity that Roger could not see more exciting scenes, it was not a particularly serious problem.

"Then Commander, you just watch here. Besides, you will need to deal with the arrival of the next few ship girls."

Frederick the Great said this and walked towards the location of the Gate of Avalon. At the same time, Roger also noticed two unfamiliar figures of ship girls, the most familiar of which was the steel dragon.

"Commander, His Majesty and the others are approaching here, but His Majesty specifically said that Akagi's emotions are a little unstable and he may do something, so the commander needs to pay more attention."

While Roger continued to observe the two of them, Vanguard reminded Roger of this situation. Z23, who was standing nearby, also heard this and couldn't help but turn around to look over.

"Akagi... I understand. I'll go deal with the situation first. Is that ok? Z23."

"Commander, you don't need to explain this to me specifically. Besides, it is also very important to stop Akagi from doing anything reckless. The defense of the Gate of Avalon is very important now. We can't let any problems arise due to interference from external factors."

"Well, don't worry. At least I don't want to do anything that will affect the safety of Frederick the Great and the others."

After making the promise, Roger left with the Vanguard and the Monarch, and after he left, Z23 heard the voice of his companion.

"Are we just going to let him go? He won't do anything that will affect us, right?"

Z23 turned her head and looked at Egil who was coming over. It was obvious that she had heard a lot about what had just happened.

"No, in terms of attitude towards certain things, the commander would not do such a thing that has no benefit at all, otherwise the emperor would not have such a good evaluation of him."

"Really? Well, it doesn't matter anyway. If anything happens, I can just tear all my opponents to pieces."

As if responding to Egil's words, the electronic biological ship suit beside her also roared.

When they reached the port of Scapa Flow, Roger saw several figures gradually getting bigger in his sight on the distant sea level. The Sakura Empire fleet led by Akagi also increased its speed a lot when they saw Scapa Flow and Roger in the port.

"Commander!" "Commander!"

After Akagi and Taihou came ashore together, they rushed towards Roger. Although he had been prepared for this kind of thing, Roger obviously underestimated the anxiety and tension in their hearts after they knew that they were taken away by Iron Blood.

"Commander! Those guys didn't do anything, did they?"

"Are you injured anywhere? Let Taiho check you out, Commander!"

Both of them started to feel around Roger's body, and some even planned to check his clothes carefully again. Fortunately, the vanguard reacted in time and prevented this situation.

"Why are you trying to prevent Taiho and the Commander from reuniting?"

"Please restrain yourself a little. After all, such behavior will damage the commander's image."

Facing the vanguard's obstruction, Taihou and Akagi looked very dissatisfied, but facing such a gaze from the two, the vanguard still maintained a calm face and protected Roger behind him. At the same time, when they thought that the situation of these two people would not be so easy to give up, after the other members of the Sakura Empire fleet entered the port.

The two of them suddenly gave up, and Akagi asked Roger, "Commander, should we leave here or do something to those iron-blooded ship girls?"

"It's not possible now, especially since Frederick the Great has already led his men through the artificial singularity and hasn't returned yet. There will be another battle to fight after he returns."

"Artificial singularity... Tsk, these guys have really mastered it. But what about the sirens?"

Akagi looked at the artificial singularity, which was as stable as the red sun, and then became puzzled about the so-called battle with the Sirens. She had not seen any Siren fleet approaching here along the way.

"We'll have to wait until they come back to find out. What are you blocking?"

Roger looked at Akagi and Taihou who were standing in front of him. They had been very hostile to each other before, but now they were standing very close together in front of him, as if they were trying to prevent him from seeing anything. It made him feel like they were stopping something.

Chapter 282 Can I call you again?

"No, Taiho just wants the commander to see Taiho more."

However, Roger looked at Dafeng's face full of guilt and confusion. It seemed that she was very uncomfortable with lying, and he couldn't help but be curious about the thing that could make her lie.

"Are you hiding something, Taiho?"

"Wow, wow, wow~ this... this..."

Dafeng's expression became even more intense, and the way she struggled about whether to tell the truth made people feel distressed.

"How could that be, Commander? It's just that Taiho has accidentally done some stupid things recently because you're not around, so now I'm a little afraid to face you properly, what do you think, right?"

Akagi took over from Taiho at this time, covered her mouth with his hand, and then glanced at Taiho out of the corner of his eye, asking her to admit it.

"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Dafeng shook her head repeatedly. Lying already made her uncomfortable. If she were to take on a false accusation, she would be at a huge loss!

"Let go of your hands. What is it that you can't say? Even if you make mistakes, I won't say that I won't forgive you. After all, you are the most important people to me. Even if I am really angry with you, my feelings will not change."

"Commander! I am so touched that you talk about Taiho like this!"

Taiho was so moved that she broke free from Akagi and threw herself into Roger's arms. She hugged him tightly, buried her face in Roger's chest and took a deep breath. After smelling the scent of her lover, Taiho's emotions gradually became satisfied and stable.

"Tsk! He is such a useless fellow indeed."

Akagi looked at Taihou and gave up all of a sudden. If she had known this would happen, she should have let Kaga come, or at least let Kaga not speak the whole time. With her cold expression, no one would notice anything.

"Okay, okay, so what's going on?"

"That's the planned ship..."

"The Sakura Empire's planned ship? What happened to her?"

The situation happened on the planned ship, which made Roger a little nervous, especially since the current situation was likely to be a major war and any strength would be needed. It would be a great loss if a planned ship could not join in.

"No... She's fine. We just don't want her to meet the Commander."

When it comes to this, Dafeng's expression becomes guilty. It is obvious that she did such a thing just because of a problem that they cannot accept. She is very worried that it will make Roger dislike her.

"Huh? You don't want her to see me? Why? Is she a very special or dangerous ship girl?"

This is the first time that something like this has happened. As a commander, I cannot meet my own ship girl. Such a thing is somewhat unbelievable.

"Neither... Anyway, Commander, can you please not call me by my name, or just call me by my name?"

"What does this have to do with the name? You guys are really weird. Anyway, let's go over and take a look."

The weirder Taihou's behavior was, the more curious Roger became. Then he saw why Akagi and Taihou used their bodies to block his sight. He saw Kaga and Atago were blocking a ship girl who looked very gentle and caring. Especially when he saw the other party's somewhat lost expression, he felt that Kaga and Atago were bullying them.

"What are you two doing?"

"commander!?"

Hearing the voice behind them, Kaga and Atago were stunned for a moment, and Agomama's eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing Roger appear in front of her, her expression became particularly happy, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on her face.

"Commander! We finally meet!"

After seeing Roger, Azuma pushed aside the two people blocking her way and came to him.

"I am reporting to the large cruiser Azuma. Although I am still inexperienced, I still hope that the Commander can rely on me a little more~ I will do my best to protect the Commander~"

"Ah... um, my wife..."

When they heard Roger subconsciously read out Azuma's name, Taihou and Akagi's faces instantly darkened. Although they understood that it was just a name, no matter how they comforted themselves, they still felt very uncomfortable in their hearts. They were even more troubled about why they had not thought of using such a name in the first place.

"Yes! Is there anything I can tell you? Commander, in order to catch up with your companions and gain more experience, you can let me handle anything you want."

After hearing Roger say her name, my wife felt so happy and joyful that she felt extremely happy.

Roger also understood why Taihou and Akagi were so resistant to calling each other's names. After all, the name "Azuma" is almost the same as "wife", even when introducing them to others.
