Transmigrated into Azur Lane

Chapter 58 Hospitality

Inside the newly built cafeteria hall.

Yi Xian and Ning Hai felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the ship girls enter the cafeteria one by one. Almost every one of them exuded an aura no weaker than their own, or even overwhelming. First was Kaga, carrying her older sister on her shoulders as she entered the cafeteria. Her aura reminded Yi Xian of the pressure she felt facing the main Sirens force when serving in Liaodong. Extremely powerful, the kind of aura that was completely insurmountable. Next was Enterprise; this seemingly serene white-haired girl's aura was no less formidable than Kaga's.

Although they had a general understanding of this newly established naval department, only after experiencing it firsthand could they truly know how terrifying it was. Whether it was the Nelson and Rodney sisters, Cleveland, or Yuudachi who was always laughing and joking while hanging on General Lin, they all put immense pressure on the Eastern Empire ship girls in the cafeteria.

After chasing away Yuudachi who was clinging to him, Lin Dong greeted Yi Xian with a smile.

"General Yixian, please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Over the past few months, Lin Dong has learned most of Cao Zhengping's flattery skills, and he always says things like "please forgive me" and "please forgive me."

"We're both in the navy, General Lin, there's no need to be so polite."

Yi Xian replied with a faint smile.

Lin Dong smiled and sat down next to Yi Xian. Since Rodney and Unicorn would definitely be too busy to feed more than 50 people, Lin Dong simply booked the hotel's outsourcing service. The hotel's team began serving the dishes one by one as soon as Lin Dong sat down.

After entering the mess hall, Eldridge found the direction of the commander and then slowly floated into Lin Dong's arms and sat down.

Who is this?

Yi Xian looked at Eldridge with some confusion.

"White Eagle destroyer Eldridge"

Lin Dong pinched his raised cheek and said.

"Project Rainbow?"

After pondering for a moment, Yi Xian said with some shock, after all, this was a legendary ship. The list of ship girls filed by the supervisory group was only responsible to a few people at the highest level of Donghuang, and this was the first time Yi Xian had known that Lin Dong actually had a ship girl named Eldridge under his command.

Legend has it that Eldridge participated in the Philadelphia Experiment, a top-secret experiment known as Project Rainbow. The White Eagle reportedly implanted tons of electronic components on Eldridge, including four large electromagnetic coils, with the aim of using electromagnetic effects to make the warship invisible. The experiment was successful; Eldridge disappeared in Philadelphia harbor and was later found in Virginia waters. All the crew members involved in the project experienced health problems, and some even died. The crew members later denied the experiment, and Eldridge gradually became an urban legend.

Although it was all just a legend, the sight of the levitating Eldridge standing right before Yi Xian was still quite astonishing. According to the information Yi Xian knew, even the White Eagles hadn't built an Eldridge in nearly a century.

As for Ju Gao Gao, he had no interest in Yi Xian at all. He just sat obediently on the commander's lap waiting to be fed, and the tuft of hair on his head trembled as if to tell the commander, "I'm hungry."

The instant understanding of the message sent by the raised ahoge reminded Lin Dong of what Yi Xian had said earlier. Lin Dong guessed that this was also one of the connection effects of the Mind Cube: tacit understanding.

Lin Dong then picked up some food and fed it to Eldridge, raising the ahoge (cowlick) on his head and causing it to tremble.

"satisfy?"

Lin Dong asked, raising his head high. Eldridge nodded heavily, then turned around and hugged the commander's neck, nuzzling his face against his.

"hey-hey."

Lin Dong, having successfully completed the experiment, gave Eldridge a big kiss on the cheek. Eldridge's ahoge (cowlick) twitched again as he raised it high.

"Pervert...pervert..."

…………

After settling the Donghuang ship girls in, it was already 10 o'clock.

Lin Dong crept furtively to Tirpitz's room door. Before he could even knock, the door was already open.

"Sensing?" Lin Dong pondered, holding up his right hand, which was still holding the door open before knocking.

After quickly entering the room, Lin Dong suppressed his lust and asked eagerly in order to confirm his suspicions.

"Tirpitz, how did you know I was outside the door?"

"The Mind Cube will tell me the general location of the commander."

As Tirpitz explained, he hugged the commander. Before the two could even begin to make out, Yuudachi's shouts came from outside the door.

"The Commander is missing!!!"

Startled by Yuudachi's loud shout, Lin Dong quickly pressed his ear against the door.

"Kaga, the commander is missing. I suspect it was those people from the Eastern Empire who did it."

"Akagi, we can't wait any longer, let's go and crush them now!"

Lin Dong listened through gritted teeth to Yuudachi's rumors outside the door. All her suspicions were false; Donghuang and Sakura Empire were mortal enemies. Tonight, Donghuang shipgirls had argued with Yuudachi in the cafeteria. Yuudachi, clearly dissatisfied, had probably discovered the commander's affair and wanted to create a big scandal.

Lin Dong, who was still annoyed by Yuudachi, suddenly realized a more serious problem. He stiffly turned his head and asked Tirpitz in a weak voice.

"Tirpitz, you mentioned sensing earlier, didn't you?"

Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Tirpitz nod silently.

'knock knock'

"Commander, come out."

Chapter 59 Pre-Battle Discussions

Inside Lin Dong's room.

"Commander, I'll leave Rodney and Cleveland aside for now. What do you mean by provoking that woman now?"

Nelson crossed his arms and looked coldly at the commander. The Royal Navy and the Iron Blood had a deep-seated conflict.

Even the business owners stood aside, frowning, waiting for Lin Dong to explain.

Kaohsiung looked out the window with a disappointed expression.

Akagi, who had previously lost her mind and tried to kill Tirpitz, was dealt a fatal blow by Kaga and is now unconscious on Lin Dong's lap.

"I like... I like her."

Lin Dong said, forcing himself to speak.

"Humph!"

Nelson strode out of the room, and silence fell over the room…

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, Lin Dong could only secretly pinch Akagi's cheek on his leg and wait for his wives' judgment.

After a while.

"Commander, you should take care of yourself."

After finishing his speech, the company left directly. It was the first time Lin Dong had ever seen the company angry.

"Danna is too greedy!"

Kaohsiung was about to leave with the company after she finished speaking, but she couldn't bear to leave when she saw the commander's pitiful appearance.

"My wife in Kaohsiung... I..."

Seeing Kaohsiung's hesitant expression, Lin Dong knew he had a chance, so he immediately started to act pitiful.

The female warrior, who had once conquered herself, felt her heart break upon seeing the commander's tearful expression, and then she said in a conflicted voice.

"I...I don't object."

"Honey, I'm so cold."

Kaohsiung hugged the commander.

"Honey, I'm sleepy."

Kaohsiung placed the commander's dead head on his chest.

"Wife, hehe."

"Ah...stop...stop..."

While still unconscious, Akagi was subjected to live NTR.

………….

The conference room in the office building.

At the rectangular conference table, Yi Xian, Ning Hai, Lin Dong, Nelson, Cao Zhengping, and the others watched the photos on the projector, taken by the ship girls that Yi Xian had sent to scout the Siren stronghold.

The Siren outpost, which was originally less than 3000 square meters, has expanded to more than ten times its original size, with dozens of elite-class mass-produced warships being resupplyed in the port.

Regarding the mass-produced warships of the Sirens, besides the customized type, there is also a general-purpose type. The customized mass-produced type is generally only equipped for ship girls of the responsible rank or above. However, the low-cost general-purpose mass-produced warships are the main force of the Sirens, and the United Nations has also made a power classification for the general-purpose mass-produced type.

Test-grade mass production model, level 15

Standard mass-produced model, level 25

Improved mass-produced model, level 35

Elite-level mass-produced type, training level 50

Super-dreadnought mass-produced type, level 70

"General Cao, can the army provide long-range strike support?"

Feeling somewhat disheartened after reading the intelligence, Lin Dong asked with a glimmer of hope.

"General Lin, you've seen it before, the interference on the sea is too strong, you can't even locate it."

Cao Zhengping shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Based on previous intelligence, each stronghold contains at least 300 Sirens, with about 25% having a training level of 70 or higher."

No matter how powerful the enemy, Nelson always appeared so confident, as if victory was always within her grasp. She calmly analyzed the Sirens' strength and then presented her plan.

"We can choose to launch a surprise attack and take down one of the other two strongholds before they can be reinforced."

"I agree."

Yi Xian nodded in agreement. Having served for 80 years, she knew better than anyone that there were no shortcuts in the war against the Sirens.

"If we can wipe out one stronghold in a short time, we can then intercept reinforcements from another stronghold."

The experienced Yi Xian added her own perspective, saying that neither her nor Nelson's proposed solutions were particularly clever; they were merely a matter of exploiting a time difference. Her confidence stemmed from the powerful ship girls under Lin Dong's command.

"I agree."

Nelson agreed, saying that Yixian's proposal suited her taste perfectly, and Nelson began to seriously observe this weakling for the first time.

Yi Xian was also looking at Rodney.

Finally, the two smiled at each other.

"Ahem, I object."
