Transmigrated into Azur Lane

Glorious looked at the commander's strange expression and chuckled softly.

"Don't you realize what kind of nonsense you're spouting? You're exposing both sides of the truth."

Lin Dong said anxiously, and somewhat excitedly gestured with his hands to the sides of her radiant breasts.

"Pah... Commander, keep your voice down."

Glorious quickly pressed down on the commander's gesturing hands, then glanced left and right, clearly afraid that someone would see the commander's embarrassing behavior.

"It doesn't work anyway."

"Know it."

"Commander! Come here right now!"

Suddenly, Akagi stood in the distance and shouted angrily.

"what happened?"

Lin Dong quickly grabbed a handful of Akagi's big tail as he approached her, afraid that her extremely bad temper was about to erupt again.

"I can't fit into any of their wedding dresses!"

Akagi said, pouting, while the nine large tails behind her kept waving as she spoke.

"Just find someone to design it."

Lin Dong put his arm around Akagi and comforted her, saying that ever since the Sakura Empire ship girls descended into another world, dressing up has been a big problem because they all have tails to some extent. Currently, only the three sisters of the Takao-class do not have this problem.

"But they've all tried them on, only Kaga and I haven't been able to!"

Akagi gestured towards Atago, who was constantly striking various poses in front of the mirror.

"You can incorporate more of your own ideas into the design."

Lin Dong could only console Akagi, who was prone to jealousy, by saying that even though he had never been married and didn't know the price of a wedding dress, the words "custom-designed" told him that it must be expensive.

"That's right!"

Akagi said as if a giant lightbulb had appeared above her head, and then pulled her sister to start studying it.

"call...."

The severely overspending budget was giving Lin Dong a major headache. After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to Spence, who was laughing and joking, seemingly considering a way to rob Peter to pay Paul...

Chapter 159 Awarding Medals: Thank you for the generous reward of 10,000 yuan to "Riding a Snail to Fight Lu Bu"!

Inside the military headquarters auditorium in the capital of Donghuang.

"The Donghuang Maritime Security Bureau, upholding the fighting spirit of Donghuang soldiers, successfully completed the battles to reclaim the waters near Xiamen Island, the coastal waters of Fujian Province, and the coastal waters of Guangdong Province, resolutely safeguarding Donghuang's maritime sovereignty, and also..."

At this moment, Lin Dong, who was standing aside waiting to be awarded the medal, pinched Santiago's thigh hard as he was about to fall asleep.

"Slurp, is it over?"

Santiago, who had been pinched awake, sucked back the saliva from his mouth and rubbed his sleepy eyes, saying in a daze.

"Stand still, the camera is rolling!"

Lin Dong reprimanded in a low voice.

"Ha~ I didn't have this much trouble when I received 18 medals back then. Commander, how come you, a mere major general, have such a grand entourage..."

Jin Kela yawned impatiently and said disdainfully.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell Brie not to make anything for you."

Enraged, Lin Dong issued a threat.

"I was wrong, Commander!"

Santiago clung tightly to the commander's arm, begging for mercy without any backbone.

"Stand still!"

"Today, on behalf of the Donghuang Military Commission, I confer the rank of Lieutenant General upon Comrade Lin Dong!"

Soon after finishing his speech, the military officer in uniform chuckled and pinned a medal to Lin Dong's left chest.

'Splash splash splash'

As applause erupted, Lin Dong immediately saluted the bigwig who had pinned the medal on him...

……

After turning off the award ceremony broadcast on TV with the remote control, Huang Kang picked up the landline and gave instructions to his secretary.

"Go and contact the head of the research institution and tell him to come see me immediately!"

He is the father of that idiot who went to the Security Bureau to steal his wife, and one of the big shots of Donghuang.

He originally thought that his decades of political experience had honed his ability to suppress the pain of losing his son, but he soon realized that it was futile. Every time he returned to his empty home, the pain would creep up on his heart like a bone-deep infection. He soon found himself suffering from insomnia. Every time he closed his eyes to sleep, all he could see was his son's face. When he finally managed to fall asleep, all he could have were nightmares of Lin Dong killing his son.

Now he needs to take large amounts of sleeping pills and tranquilizers every day to calm his mental state, which is on the verge of collapse. It can even be said that he has reached the point of drug abuse. If these things get out, he will definitely be forced to retire early. However, he has no choice. He thinks he would have gone crazy long ago if he didn't rely on drugs. He now has only one goal, which is to kill Lin Dong, regardless of the cost, even if it means sacrificing his political career.

'knock knock'

At that moment, there was a knock on the office door. Huang Kang forced down his ferocious expression and spoke coldly.

"Come in."

"Secretary Huang."

The person in charge of the "qualified person" project greeted him with trepidation. The reason for his fear was not only that the project had yielded no results, but also the expressionless big shot in front of him. Although Secretary Huang was not much different from before, he sensed something like murderous intent. In short, he was extremely terrified.

"How are your research projects for qualified individuals progressing?"

"Secretary Huang... The research on suitable candidates cannot yield results in just a few months, even if ten times the research funding were allocated. Currently, we can only speculate that suitable candidates are mainly related to the degree of brain development. As you know... the study of the human brain has always been a global challenge..."

Despite his fear, the person in charge revealed the truth. The research project, which was supposed to be calculated on an annual basis, was being pressured so much for no reason, which could be considered harassment. "What are you going to do to me if I can't figure it out?" The person in charge also harbored a lot of resentment.

"I will continue to increase the allocation of resources."

"....yes."

The person in charge, who was about to say something, immediately abandoned his suicidal idea when he saw Secretary Huang's cold and sinister appearance. He was about to make a quick getaway when Secretary Huang suddenly spoke up again.

"There's one more thing. You need to prepare a report here, a research report on the great breakthrough achieved by the qualified individuals. You should arrange it as soon as you get back."

You mean forged documents?

The person in charge, who had spent his entire life dealing with equipment, stared wide-eyed and retorted.

"Yes, I don't care what you make up, the report only needs to state that a suitable subject is needed as experimental material."

Huang Kang tapped his fingers incessantly on the desk. On the verge of madness, he no longer wanted to hide his purpose, and then he spoke again.

"Don't even think about refusing. You know about my son, you know my purpose, and you should also know about the fact that Xiang Shengrong's entire family died in a car accident."

"Xiang Shengrong..."

The person in charge murmured, "Logically speaking, this miserable guy who spends all his time hiding in the research institute and suffering from oppression shouldn't care much about outside affairs. However, this matter is just too shocking, and it's too hard not to know." This Xiang Shengrong was originally one of the high-ranking officials of Donghuang. Some time ago, his entire family died in a car accident on their way to a family dinner.

He immediately recalled a rumor he'd heard earlier: it was supposedly Xiang Shengrong who had secretly instigated Huang Kang's son to join the Security Bureau, and that this same Xiang was in charge of monitoring the Security Bureau, which explained why Huang Kang hadn't received any information...

The true cause of this high-ranking official's death naturally couldn't be hidden from the other bigwigs, but Xiang Shengrong's use of such extreme methods to attack his political enemies already broke the rules. Even more serious was his damage to the relationship between Donghuang and the ship girls. What if Lin Dong hadn't intervened? Would Huang Kang's son really have been allowed to marry a ship girl? Please, if this got out, the Donghuang ship girls still serving in the military would definitely protest immediately. Fighting for you to the death, only to be exploited? Is there anyone so shameless?

Therefore, Xiang Shengrong's death was handled in a very low-key manner, and the bigwigs unanimously approved Huang Kang's actions, after all, his only son died so inexplicably.

"Secretary Huang, don't worry... I will make all the arrangements as soon as I get back."

Compared to professional ethics, life is definitely more important. The person in charge hesitated for only a moment before bowing his head and agreeing.

"Well, you go."

Huang Kang nodded in acknowledgment, seemingly unsurprised.

"Yes."

Before the person in charge could open the door, another question came from behind the voice.

"How is that person who was transferred to your area before? He was my son's assistant before he passed away. Let me think... his surname was Zhang."

"The test subject was put to the test immediately after he was brought in... but he unfortunately died while trying to expand his brain development."

"Oh."

Huang Kang, behind his desk, finally broke into a smile...

Chapter 160 Landlord Spence

Inside the guesthouse in the capital of Donghuang.

"Commander, I want my salary card back."

Spence stretched his hand out in front of the commander, his small fingers opening and closing incessantly.

After leaving the jewelry store, Spence's thinking underwent a great evolution from public ownership to private ownership, which can be said to be a big step forward.

What do you need the money for?

Lin Dong touched his nose guiltily. After paying the bill at the wedding dress shop, Lin Dong was penniless. Helpless, he had no choice but to turn to Spence's secret stash. Currently, all the expenses for everyone's food, drink, and other necessities at Donghuang were being covered by Lin Dong using Spence's salary. He planned to secretly make up the difference after receiving his salary. He never expected that Spence, who usually had no concept of money, would suddenly ask him for money.

"I don't know... I just suddenly really, really want it."

Spence scratched the back of her head and said, then noticed the commander's strange expression and immediately realized that things were not simple. During the time they spent together, it wasn't just Lin Dong who was getting to know the ship girls; the ship girls were also getting to know the commander during this time, not to mention the mental cube that connected their hearts together.

"Commander, you didn't spend money, did you?"

Spence's eyes were already glistening with tears before he even received a response from the commander, as if he would burst into tears the moment the commander nodded.

"Well... the Commander is a little short on funds lately, I'll make it up to you when I get paid in a couple of days."

Knowing all too well how difficult Spence was, Lin Dong quickly pulled her onto his lap and confessed.

"Waaaah, why don't you spend your wife's money?"

Holding the commander in her arms, Spence struggled to suppress the urge to cry. She sniffled pitifully and asked, tears streaming down her face as she felt wronged.

"It's not that I can't save face... We've known each other for so long, you know the Commander, don't you...?"

Lin Dong quickly wiped away Spence's tears and said, "Anyway, there's no harm in telling Spence these things from the heart."

"And now everyone's food and drink are all paid for with your money. Just think how powerful that is! In ancient times, you would be the landlord and we would all be your tenants."
