Transmigrated into Azur Lane

"We want to be together."

Z46 let the commander rub his face and said calmly.

"fool."

Lin Dong pinched Z46's nose, then hung the water bottle that Kaohsiung had prepared around her neck, and then picked her up and walked towards the Phoenix Forest.

...

On a stone bench in the Phoenix Forest.

After jogging around the woods, Lin Dong pulled a towel from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he took the water bottle off the Z46 sitting on his lap and started drinking water.

Z46, sitting on the commander's lap, turned its little head and observed the commander's every move without saying a word.

After spending a day with this little girl, Lin Dong had a general understanding of her personality. She was quiet and reserved, but not like Eldridge, who disliked talking, nor like Ayanami, who was emotionless. Rather, she didn't understand many common sense things. Apart from her fighting instincts, Z46 was like a little baby in daily life. Since she was built yesterday, Z23 had been taking care of her.

Would you like some water?

Lin Dong shook the kettle in his hand and asked Z46.

I'm not thirsty.

Z46 looked at the kettle and shook his head.

"Shall we go back?"

"Ah."

Z46, as if it were second nature, climbed onto the commander's neck and sat down, waiting for the humanoid mount beneath him to carry him back to the Security Bureau.

...

Security Bureau, inside the office.

"Guests from the South?"

Lin Dong frowned and asked the phone in his hand with a puzzled look.

"Yes, sir."

The soldier on duty glanced at the car outside the gate, which was covered with various passes, and confirmed it again.

Sitting in his office chair, Lin Dong tapped his fingers lightly on the desk for a moment before speaking.

"Let them in."

"You still have friends in the south?"

Nelson, unusually, put down the documents in his hand and looked at the commander with curiosity.

"Who knows..."

Lin Dong pinched Z46's cheek, which was sitting on his lap, and said thoughtfully.

...

Inside the reception room of the State Security Bureau office building.

Lin Dong, holding the Z46 in his arms, was scrutinizing the young man sitting on the opposite sofa. Although bringing a little girl to receive guests seemed extremely impolite, Lin Dong didn't take the man seriously, so the question of politeness didn't apply to him.

"General Lin, let me introduce myself. My surname is Chen, Chen Yi. You can just call me Xiao Chen."

The handsome young man introduced himself with a big smile, his accent slightly Cantonese, and his posture very humble.

"Explain your purpose."

Lin Dong declined the cigarette offered by the other party and spoke frankly.

"I am here on behalf of Guangdong Province."

After being refused a cigarette, the young man named Chen Yi put it back in his pocket and said with a smile.

"Within the system?"

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow and asked.

"The entire Guangdong province."

The young man's words were pointed.

"What do you want from me?"

Hearing the implication in the other person's words, Lin Dong couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He hadn't expected someone to come knocking on his door so soon.

"The main reason for our visit is to earnestly request General Lin to help the people of the coastal areas of Guangdong Province to get rid of the Sirens' invasion."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the little girl on Lin Dong's lap. When he saw that the little girl was also observing him, he quickly lowered his head to maintain a respectful attitude.

"You should go to the government about this kind of thing."

Lin Dong refused without even thinking.

“We have heard that the Maritime Security Bureau has been completely restructured, and we would like to obtain General Lin’s consent before the official commission is issued.”

The young man revealed a lot of information again, clearly indicating that this was a typical case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and that the people involved were probably all heavyweights.

Logically speaking, only a small number of high-ranking officials in Donghuang should know about the restructuring of the Security Bureau, and even if they did, it wouldn't be of much use, because the Security Bureau would only accept commissions from the Donghuang government. However, the young man's words implied that as long as Lin Dong agreed, he was confident that he could get the Donghuang government to assign tasks to the Security Bureau.

Fearing that Lin Dong would refuse again, Chen Yi quickly added a sentence.

"We guarantee that General Lin will receive a generous reward."

Do I look like someone who lacks food and clothing?

Lin Dong gestured for him to look at the magnificent reception room.

“We can provide General Lin with any supplies, including oil, anonymously, and we can arrange everything perfectly for him, ensuring absolute safety.”

Now that things had come to this, Chen Yi could only get straight to the point. He had learned through various special channels that Lin Dong hadn't been behaving himself lately, and that he could help Lin Dong with things he couldn't do. As for the interests of the nation, they were a joke in the eyes of profit-driven businessmen, not to mention that the mastermind behind this operation was none other than a high-ranking official in Donghuang. As long as Lin Dong agreed, the matter would be settled.

Lin Dong kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind. As for whether it was a test from Donghuang, Lin Dong immediately rejected the idea, because Donghuang had no reason to do so. Lin Dong's previous actions had already made his attitude clear: if you anger me, I will quit and leave at any time. Who's afraid of who?

Although the terms of the renegotiation explicitly include no restrictions on oil supply, only a fool would believe such a thing. It's simply a matter of shifting the restrictions from overt to covert.

After a long while, Lin Dong finally made up his mind and slowly said.

"make a deal."

Chapter 121 Golden Fertilizer

It was evening, inside the cafeteria kitchen.

"Z46, give me some oil."

Wearing an apron, Lin Dong was issuing commands to Z46, who was riding on his neck, while holding a spatula. Since the Royal Maid Team and Rodney had gone to various places in Fujian Province to be stationed, Unicorn was left alone in the Security Bureau to face the hungry ship girls. It was really difficult for her to stand alone, so Lin Dong had to temporarily step in to help Unicorn stabilize the situation.

Z46 blinked her big eyes and looked at the two containers that the commander had handed her earlier. She began to recall the identification method the commander had taught her, and then picked up one of the bottles and shouted.

"Oil!"

"Yes! Give me a little."

Lin Dong gestured by touching the frying pan on the stove with the spatula in his hand.

"Give me a little!"

Z46 carefully opened the container, bypassed the commander's dead head, and poured oil into the frying pan.

"Now comes the most important step, so be careful not to get splashed with oil."

"it is good!"

Z46 frowned slightly, then straddled the commander's neck, unfolded her ship equipment, and held a Ironblood Navy sword horizontally in her hand, facing the frying pan as if facing a formidable enemy.

The sudden increase in weight caused by Z46's ship equipment caused Lin Dong to stumble and almost kneel down on the spot. After regaining his balance, Lin Dong poured the vegetables that Unicorn had washed into the frying pan, and then immediately took out the umbrella he had prepared in advance and opened it forward.

'Sizzle sizzle sizzle'

Soon, the oil and water splattered from the frying pan evenly landed on the umbrella.

"Did the unicorn learn anything?"

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow triumphantly at the unicorn before starting to cook through the umbrella, while Z46 frowned, gripping her sword horizontally and preparing to strike the frying pan.

The unicorn chuckled softly as it watched the two fooling around in front of the stove. Looking up at the Z46 above the Commander's head, a hint of envy crept in; its brother had never seemed to hug it before...

...

Inside the cafeteria hall.

At this moment, everyone from the Security Bureau was gathered around a large table made up of several tables joined together.

"Ugh... This is obviously cooked by the Commander."

Ford made a disgusted expression and poked at the dark green pepper in his plate with his fork.

"Don't be rude to the Commander, little Ford."

Cleveland, holding a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, smacked Ford on the head.

"Uh... Commander, I'm sorry!"

After scratching his head, Ford began to eat, but he only put his fork into the dishes that he could tell were not made by the commander.

"It's alright, little Ford, there's plenty of time..."

Lin Dong, annoyed by Ford's disdainful behavior, said with a malicious expression.

"Uh...."

With a dark expression, Ford forked the green peppers the commander had stir-fried and made a concession.

"Hahaha."

Spence, sitting next to Ford, laughed gleefully.

"Spence should eat more vegetables too."

Lin Dong picked up a green pepper and put it into Spence's bowl.

"Huh!?"

...

Night falls on the Security Bureau's fountain square.
