Transmigrated into Azur Lane

British people will never be slaves!

"This is...."

Lin Dong stared blankly at Comet's retreating figure as she sang in a soprano voice, and asked, "What's wrong with me?" With the connection of the Mind Cube, Lin Dong naturally understood the lyrics Comet was singing.

"Tch... 'Rule, Britannia!', the Royal Navy's anthem."

Tirpitz, who was in Lin Dong's arms, smiled disdainfully and explained.

"Where's the idol you were promised?"

Lin Dong was a little worried that Comet might have chosen the wrong musical style...

"Rule, Britannia!"

Britannia ruled the seas.

British people will never be slaves!

As the song ended, Comet turned around with a reserved smile, wanting to see the reaction of the only two listeners behind her. However, she found the Commander looking blank and Tirpitz looking disdainful. This made Comet immediately throw down the microphone, pout, and look unhappy.

"Um, it sounds really good."

Seeing Comet's angry expression, Lin Dong quickly nodded to her with a serious face. To be honest, even Lin Dong, who didn't know much about music, thought that Comet's singing was absolutely beautiful. It was just that the contrast between a young girl singing this kind of song was too strong.

"The commander is lying."

Comet pouted and said with a disbelieving look, completely unlike her usual diva-like demeanor.

"It's just that the song you chose seems a bit off... I feel..."

"I'm also frustrated, since they don't have an agent or anything to guide them..."

The comet drooped its head and pointed its finger in a pitiful manner.

"How about... I go outside and try to make some connections for you?"

Lin Dong asked tentatively.

Comet's eyes flashed with disappointment when she heard that the Commander didn't want to become her manager, but she still nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Commander."

Lin Dong naturally saw this opportunity to greatly improve his chances with Comet, but he didn't know anything about becoming Comet's manager. Besides, he was already overwhelmed with the affairs of the Security Bureau and had to flirt with girls, so he simply didn't have the time. If he rashly became Comet's manager, he might actually hold her back. After all, professional matters should be handled by professionals, which was a principle that Lin Dong had always believed in.

"Don't worry! I'll contact someone and arrange it for you right away!"

Lin Dong believed that as soon as Comet debuted, her popularity would reach its peak in an instant, because the gimmick of just one ship girl was enough to drive the natives of this world crazy. With Lin Dong's large sums of money paving the way for Comet, and with Comet's already considerable assets, it would be difficult for her not to become famous.

As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and fumbled for his phone, while also giving Tirpitz's butt a quick pat.

Tirpitz gave the old lecher a reproachful look, while Lin Dong continued typing on his phone, quickly finding the number of the man he considered his chosen lackey, Chen Yi.

"Ahem, hey, Xiao Chen!"

.....

I've been feeling a bit down lately. I had to revise the outline at this point in the plot because I wasn't satisfied with it, which caused some writer's block. I've been writing and deleting chapters repeatedly. If anyone feels that the quality of the updated chapters has dropped, please give me some time to adjust (this isn't a request for leave). Please bear with me.

Chapter 129 Lin Dong's Lackey

It was evening, in the reception room of the Security Bureau office building.

Why are you still in Fujian Province?

Lin Dong looked at Chen Yi, who had rushed to the Security Bureau after receiving the call, with some surprise.

"Hehe, I still have some things to take care of in Fujian Province. It just so happens that you had something to tell me, General Lin, so I came to take a look."

Chen Yi, sitting on the sofa opposite Lin Dong, smiled shyly. He looked honest and kind, and with his good looks and polite manners, everyone who met him for the first time couldn't help but feel a little goodwill towards him.

Have you prepared the supplies I requested?

Lin Dong was not fooled by the other party's apparent docility. As someone pushed out by the Guangdong Provincial interest group, he was not so simple. As an outsider, Lin Dong would not easily trust any native of this world.

"We have almost finished preparing for daily necessities, but we can only arrange for oil supplies after the audit and inventory of this quarter are completed."

Chen Yi recounted the progress without blinking, seemingly very interested.

Lin Dong looked at Chen Yi, who had a respectful expression on his face, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"I want 5% of your profits."

Chen Yi, who had been smiling, suddenly turned serious, but he quickly regained his composure and said softly.

"General Lin, this is somewhat different from what we agreed upon before."

"How many nautical miles is the near-shore waters? What if I wipe out all the Sirens' strongholds within 50 nautical miles?"

Lin Dong took a sip of hot tea and said.

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, Chen Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He had initially thought Lin Dong was going to go back on his word and make exorbitant demands, but then he realized that with the Security Bureau's strength, the number of nautical miles they wanted to expand their territory was entirely up to them.

This strengthened his resolve to continue currying favor with Lin Dong. After all, being able to serve as a lackey for this young major general was a rare opportunity. Given Lin Dong's current strength, if he stretched out his feet, there would probably be more than a division of people vying to come and lick his boots.

"Of course, that's no problem, General Lin."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile and agreed. It was obvious that Lin Dong was trying to get a share of the benefits and get him on board after the negotiations.

How much benefit does the ocean offer? Putting aside seafood, which is considered a luxury in this world, there are also the rich mining resources on the ocean, and the transportation industry, which is bound to rise in the near future under the protection of the Security Bureau. If these businesses can be monopolized, would his brothers in his family still be qualified to compete with him for the right of inheritance?

Driven by profit, he has completely disregarded the risks of such an act, which is akin to treason. He now seems to have already envisioned the moment when he takes control of the family business.

"You also need to make arrangements for things in Fujian Province."

Lin Dong looked at Chen Yi, whose face was full of excitement, and spoke again.

"Fujian...Fujian Province?"

At this moment, Chen Yi, whose brain was already somewhat congested with blood, asked with a blank expression, his original honest and kind demeanor nowhere to be seen.

"I will also expand out of Fujian Province in the same way. You'd better make all the arrangements right. If any outsiders get involved, I will clear out the entire sea area and find someone else to take over."

"Gurgle..."

Chen Yi swallowed hard, looking at Lin Dong as if he were looking at a madman. The supplies he needed, apart from oil, were practically useless in modern society, yet he actually said something like "cleaning up the sea" for these supplies? That's murder!

Businessmen value harmony above all else. The kind of tactic of killing in business warfare only happens on TV. Otherwise, what's the point of business warfare? Everyone would just bring their troops, choose a place, fight, and settle the score.

Having never seen blood in his life, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a little shaken, because he knew that Lin Dong had the power to do such a thing. He had also heard from other sources that several employees of the Donghuang intelligence department had been executed by Lin Dong's ship girls, the kind of executions where even the ashes couldn't be found. This made him believe that Lin Dong dared to do such a thing.

He didn't know if Lin Dong's extremism would bring him bad luck, but then he thought of his elder brother. In Guangdong, seniority was very important, and it was only natural for the eldest son to inherit the family business. No matter how outstanding or hard-working he was, his elder brother could just lie there and wait for his father to die to get everything he had worked for all his life. He was not willing to sit and wait for death.

After making his decision, Chen Yi took a sip of tea and then smiled lightly at Lin Dong.

"Don't worry, General Lin, I will make the arrangements in Fujian Province as soon as possible."

"Yes, don't let me down."

Lin Dong looked at the perfect lackey before him and smiled with satisfaction. He then explained to Chen Yi about Comet's ambition to become an idol. Lin Dong knew the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket, but the current situation forced him to do so. He could no longer find a businessman like Chen Yi with official backing to work for him. He was confident that if he made contact with other businessmen without a reason, Donghuang would quickly uncover everything.

Shortly after, Chen Yi drove away from the Security Bureau with an excited expression on his face...

Chapter 130 The Legendary Security Bureau. Thanks to the second-level category contributor for the generous reward!

Early in the morning, a car, led by a military vehicle, slowly drove into the security bureau.

Sitting in the car, Zhu Ling curiously looked around at this place, which was listed by netizens as one of the top ten mysterious areas of Donghuang. As an ordinary citizen of Donghuang, Zhu Ling never thought that she would be able to set foot in this area in her lifetime. All of this was thanks to the industry she was in, the brokerage company.

Excited yet nervous, Zhu Ling drove quickly to a square with a fountain. The military vehicle that had led the way had already turned around and left, as if they had reached their restricted area. She finally got to see the mysterious group of ship girls with her own eyes. Zhu Ling mustered her courage and secretly opened the car window a crack and slowed down to listen to the conversation of the loli ship girls outside.

"Spence, Ford, what exactly did you do to the Commander!?"

Inside the car, Zhu Ling secretly glanced at the bespectacled little girl who was scolding her.

"Uh..."

One of the scolded little girls with short hair kept fiddling with her fingers with her head down, looking incredibly cute.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Boss, it was Yuudachi who did it."

Meanwhile, another little girl with long hair suddenly burst into tears. Her pitiful expression, as if she had suffered a great injustice, made Zhu Ling on the bus feel a little sorry for her. It was truly heartbreaking to hear.

"You know perfectly well what you've done. Even if the commander didn't tell me, I could find out. Before this, you were all under house arrest!"

The little girl with glasses finished speaking and then turned and left angrily.

The long-haired little girl, who had been wailing, stopped crying as if she had hit the brakes after the bespectacled little girl left. Then, she tugged at the sleeve of the short-haired little girl next to her with a worried expression.

"What should I do, sister? I don't want to be grounded."

"Get away from me! You're such a nuisance! It's all your fault!"

The short-haired little girl, referred to as the older sister, broke free from her younger sister's grip on her sleeve and walked towards Zhu Ling. Before Zhu Ling could react, the short-haired little girl kicked the car blocking her way, as if venting her frustration.

'Bang! ! ! '

Zhu Ling felt as if the car she was sitting in had been hit by a bull, causing it to shake violently.

"My car..."

Zhu Ling groaned in the car, feeling sorry for her ride and also a sense of fear towards the ship girls. Their eccentric personalities and actions, entirely driven by their moods, coupled with their legal protections, made them the only officially recognized aristocratic group in the world with the power to kill ordinary people. This made Zhu Ling somewhat worried about the Comet girl she was about to meet, who aspired to be an idol. The business deal she had obtained from Chen Yi at a heavy price had indeed provided her with a great opportunity, but now that she had seen the ship girls, she dared not think it was a cushy job anymore.

Soon Zhu Ling saw a little girl wearing a military cap walk up to her car with a cold expression and knock on the window.

Before even getting off the bus, the little girl in the military cap began to speak politely.

"The commander is waiting for you in the office building's reception room. Park your car here and come inside with me."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Zhu Ling nodded somewhat nervously and followed the little girl into the office building she had mentioned. The two walked through a corridor one after the other and soon arrived at a double door. Zhu Ling looked at the plaque above the door that read "Reception Room" and quickly perked up to suppress her nervousness.

"Commander, the person has been brought."

Z23, looking quite displeased, spoke to the commander sitting on the sofa. Somewhat like a Nelson, she was puzzled by the commander's seriousness about the comet's trivial matters, and even more so by the fact that she was being asked to run errands for the comet. It wasn't that Z23 was being petty; she simply felt that she had more important things to deal with.

Lin Dong, who somewhat understood Z23's mindset, chuckled and pulled Z23 onto his lap, coaxing her.

"Being a secretary ship doesn't just mean handling the Security Bureau's affairs; you also need to take care of everyone's trivial matters. That's what makes a perfect secretary ship. Z23 is the perfect secretary ship now."

"Is this what the Commander envisions for the perfect secretary ship...?"

Sitting on the commander's lap, Z23 murmured thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, Z23 suddenly turned its head and smiled at the commander.
