Transmigrated into Azur Lane

"Oh~~"

Lin Dong nodded in sudden realization, believing he had found the root cause of Maya's underdeveloped state! Of course, Lin Dong couldn't possibly advise her to stop wearing it; aside from the possibility of further development, small breasts are a matter of love, after all.

"Honey, come quick, I'll scrub your back!"

Lin Dong, with a towel wrapped around his lower body, sat on a small stool and waved to Maya.

"Thank you for your help, Dana."

In Maya's eyes, although the commander was much weaker than when he was in the Maritime Bureau, he was also much more humane. Maya remembered that when he was in the Maritime Bureau, once the commander decided to launch an attack, it usually involved more than ten consecutive battles. Although it felt great to crush the enemy, the high intensity of the battles sometimes made him feel tired.

The current commanders are not very enthusiastic about launching attacks. Although the number of attacks has gradually increased recently, they always stop short of engaging in prolonged battles. In short, they are cowardly and regard the Sirens as tigers, which is quite a far cry from their former glory.

The commander is a completely different person in his personal life. For example, he always takes care of these small details in life, such as back rubbing, which are customs and traditions that only the Sakura Empire still retains. Although the things are insignificant, everyone feels warm inside.

Maya couldn't say for sure which era's commanders were better, but she was content as long as she could stay by their side.

"Well, honey, I've finished rubbing your back, now it's your turn for the front, hehe."

Just as Maya was lost in thought, the commander's lewd voice came from behind her.

'knock knock'

Before Maya could turn around, there was a rapid knocking on the bathroom door.

Upon receiving the urgent military intelligence, Nelson rushed into the bathroom without waiting for the door to open.

Seeing the two naked, Nelson had no time to be jealous. She simply looked at the smiling commander with a serious expression and said...

"The Sirens have launched a counterattack!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing the bad news, Lin Dong stood up abruptly, and the loosely wrapped bath towel fell off...

……

Inside the State Security Bureau on Xiamen Island, Fujian Province.

"I will not let you down again... even if it costs me my life!"

Edinburgh looked at the warehouse filled with goods and said solemnly.

The matter arose because the construction materials seized by the Security Bureau in Fujian and Guangdong provinces had been salvaged by Donghuang and needed to be inventoried. Lin Dong had left her in Guangdong to supervise the accounts before she set off for Sichuan Province, and she returned to Xiamen a few days ago.

……

On a vast sea littered with the wreckage of warships, Admiral Hipper, standing atop the bow of a mass-produced warship, pointed in the direction of the Security Bureau and gave an order.

"Target: Xiamen Island, all troops move out!"

The main reason for the defeat in the southern sea area of ​​Donghuang was the sudden emergence of this group of Security Bureau personnel. Admiral Hipper was unaware that Lin Dong and his group were still loafing around in the capital. Adopting the strategy of capturing the leader first, she decided to launch a direct attack on the Security Bureau headquarters.

"Yes!! I am willing to die for Lord Siren!"

"Siren! Siren! Siren!"

At this moment, the nearly one hundred ships, a chaotic fleet of steamships, hovercraft, and fishing boats that were acting as human shields in front of the Sirens fleet, began to sound their horns incessantly after receiving the order, signaling their determination...

Chapter 164 The Eve of the Storm (Part 3)

On a military transport plane.

Have you made contact with Edinburgh yet?

Lin Dong asked Nelson beside him with concern.

"No, communication on Xiamen Island has been completely cut off. It must be the work of the Sirens' electronic interference."

Nelson held the satellite phone with a serious expression.

"I shouldn't have kept her here..."

Lin Dong lowered his head, clasped his hands together in self-reproach, and said.

In the game, Edinburgh's durability is among the best of light cruisers, but Lin Dong, who already has many excellent front-line ship girls, has not chosen to train her. Edinburgh, whose training level is only around 30, is now in a very dangerous situation.

...

On the offshore waters of Ludao Island.

"Damn it...this is an insult!"

Admiral Hipper gritted his teeth as he looked through his binoculars at the sea outpost that had been captured by humans.

Because of Germany's backlash, Donghuang abandoned its plan to expand its maritime territory using strongholds. As a result, most of the Siren strongholds captured by the Security Bureau, except for a few designated for military use, were transformed into floating fish markets by the clever Chen Yi. With Lin Dong's covert support, these markets thrived. Besides circumventing Donghuang's heavy taxes on seafood, they also facilitated various illicit transactions, making them incredibly bustling. Even now, with the Siren fleet launching a major offensive, the port of the stronghold is filled with all kinds of fishing boats and fishermen hawking their wares.

"Hainu team, kill them all."

Having finally managed to suppress his anger, Admiral Hipper coldly gave the order into the communicator.

"Waaaaah~~~"

Upon hearing Admiral Hipper's order, the group of sea slaves, as if possessed by a superhuman force, blared their horns and sped towards the stronghold.

"Wow! Big business! So many boats! They're honking their horns so loudly, they must have landed some good cargo!"

The seafood dealers stationed at the port of the stronghold shouted excitedly as they watched the various ships speeding toward the stronghold in the distance.

"Wow, are these people refugees?"

One of them, holding up a telescope, exclaimed in surprise. Through the telescope, he saw that the dark-skinned "fishermen" on the decks of the ships were mostly shirtless, with hairstyles full of punk style, and their behavior was like that of madmen, jumping up and down, shouting some nonsense. Even if they had salvaged a ship girl, they didn't need to be this excited.

"Come, come, let me see."

Just as an impatient dealer snatched the binoculars and was about to look, the Sea Slave fleet unleashed a barrage of cannon fire toward the stronghold.

'Boom boom boom boom boom!'

The various naval cannons and weapons loaded on the Sea Slave Fleet were salvaged from the seas after the war between humans and Sirens. They were of mixed quality and extremely weak in combat. However, attacking these completely unarmed maritime black markets was no problem. After just one round of artillery fire, no humans survived in the port.

Soon, the Sea Slave fleet approached the stronghold. They completely abandoned the opportunity to attack immobile targets, instead launching various small yachts from their decks, seemingly intending to demonstrate their bravery to the Sirens through hand-to-hand combat. One of them even showed no signs of slowing down, charging straight towards the stronghold.

Soon, the collision between the ship and the stronghold produced a loud noise. However, these enthusiastic sea slaves completely forgot that the original owner of this stronghold was the Sirens, whom they worshipped as gods. Although the Sirens liked to save money, they dared not cut corners on the construction of such defensive fortresses. The matte black steel shell was made of special steel they brought from another world. If Donghuang had not struggled for decades to find a way to reuse this material, Chen Yi would not have gotten such a bargain.

The stronghold's perimeter was severely impacted, but only partially dented inwards. Meanwhile, the cargo ship that had bravely charged forward had lost its bow and began to slowly sink.

Of course, this incident didn't affect the ever-high morale of the Sea Slaves. They stormed the stronghold as if it were empty and then launched a bloody massacre on this shared property of Lin Dong and Chen Yi...

After the Third Fleet had previously committed an entire patrol fleet, Cao Zhengping had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation with this Siren fleet, which was no less large than the South China Sea Fleet. The clash with the Germans a few months earlier had taught him that only ship girls could defeat ship girls. With communications completely cut off due to Siren electronic interference, he first sent his subordinates to request assistance from the nearby army, and then ordered all officers and men of the Third Fleet to enter a state of combat readiness.

...

Admiral Hipper, of course, could not stay where she was and watch the performance of the sea slaves. After giving the order, she led her Siren fleet toward Heron Island, but she soon realized that something was wrong.

"Strange...why is the defense of Heron Island so weak? Where are those ship girls of unknown origin?"

Looking at the calm sea, Admiral Hipper murmured in confusion...

Chapter 165 The Storm Is Coming

Upon noticing the anomaly, Admiral Hipper immediately halted his advance and remained in place, awaiting the return of the sea slaves. Although his fleet was not lacking in Siren ship girls who served as cannon fodder, the combat effectiveness of humans on land was completely opposite to that at sea. Even though Heron Island was currently covered by electronic interference, using sea slaves as cannon fodder was clearly more cost-effective.

According to Admiral Hipper's intelligence, the so-called Security Bureau currently has most of its forces stationed in other sea areas, which is why she dared to directly attack Heron Island. As its name suggests, Heron Island is an island surrounded by the sea, only relatively close to the mainland. Otherwise, electronic jamming would not have been able to temporarily cover the entire island, cutting off human communications while simultaneously sending sea slaves to land on Heron Island to harass and restrain human land forces. Meanwhile, the fleet would strike directly at the Security Bureau, delivering a fatal blow. This was Admiral Hipper's revised battle plan.

Urged on by Admiral Hipper, the Sea Slave fleet quickly rejoined the Siren fleet. Having received new orders, the Sea Slave soldiers began to disperse into several detachments and head towards Heron Island.

...

"Report to the commander! A human fleet of eight ships has been spotted heading towards our position in the waters to the northeast!"

“Send warning flags, and if the other side does not retreat, launch an attack directly.”

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Zhengping issued the order. Upon hearing the report, he immediately recalled the intelligence document issued by Donghuang some time ago, which contained the interrogation results of several sea slaves that Lin Dong had handed over to Donghuang.

The clues about the sea slaves were actually discovered by Donghuang decades ago. However, they were usually hidden under the protection of the Sirens, making it difficult for Donghuang to find out their origins from the slightest clues. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Security Bureau, which effectively captured several sea slaves, Donghuang would not have known that such a huge force existed in the ocean.

Sure enough, this ragtag fleet, consisting of cargo ships, fishing boats, and air mattresses, ignored the flag signals issued from the naval base and instead sped towards it.

Upon discovering the unusual activity of the convoy, the Third Fleet launched an attack immediately, and the shore guns on the seawall began firing for the first time in decades in a formal defensive capacity.

Like moths drawn to a flame, the fleet was quickly sank by the intense barrage of cannon fire. Just then, another fleet appeared in the southeastern sea, and the massive Siren fleet finally arrived as scheduled, launching a counterattack against the land-based defenses.

After leaving a portion of the Sirens to tie down the Third Fleet, Admiral Hipper led the main force to continue speeding toward the Security Bureau.

"Report, Commander! The Siren fleet has appeared, but they don't seem to intend to attack us; instead, they're heading towards the Security Bureau."

"Security Bureau..."

With the Security Bureau staff absent, Cao Zhengping couldn't figure out what the Sirens were up to. After a moment's thought, he spoke.

"Keep sending people to the Army Military Region to request support. We just need to hold this area."

...

At this time, in addition to the two slave units that attacked the naval base, several other slave units also landed on Xiamen Island from different directions.

Despite having their communications completely cut off, the Eastern Huang Army stationed on the other side of Lu Island demonstrated exceptional military prowess. Upon discovering the presence of the Sea Slaves, they immediately launched a siege. In fact, it proved that the Sea Slaves, aside from their high morale, were nothing more than a rabble. In a single encounter, one of the Sea Slave squads that landed on Lu Island was completely wiped out by the Eastern Huang Army.

The weakness of the sea slaves is directly related to the Sirens. Under Siren rule, they had no opportunity for education. Even the operation of ships was taught by experienced people through oral instruction and hands-on teaching. In the eyes of the Sirens, all they needed to do was drill oil wells and complete resupply work. When they were hungry, they had endless fish in the sea to feed them. It was exactly the same as raising livestock.

However, humans are not aloof and indifferent sirens, but animals with emotional needs. On an island without any entertainment facilities, slaves can only find solace in the brainwashing materials left by their predecessors. This is why they behave so crazy. In their eyes, humans on land are enemies who have betrayed them and are hiding inland enjoying themselves.

After wiping out the rabble they encountered, the Eastern Huang Army immediately headed towards the city center. The request for naval base support was rejected by the commander at the first opportunity. Soldiers are meant to die on the battlefield, but if anything happened to the civilians on Lujiang Island, it would be a major incident. Unfortunately, the Eastern Huang Army was too late; a Hainu detachment had already gotten there first and stormed into the city center...

...

Security Bureau port.

"Damn it...where is everyone?"

Admiral Hipper stared blankly at the empty Security Bureau, just as she was about to begin to doubt whether the intelligence left behind by Germany before its fall was correct.

'boom!'

A cannonball suddenly shot straight toward Admiral Hipper. She casually swatted the weak cannonball aside and looked at the person who attacked her.

"You're not getting through here."

The round lenses, illuminated by the sunlight, obscured her eyes behind the frames, but her cold voice and the unfolded ship equipment indicated that she was extremely serious at that moment.

"You?"

Admiral Hipper couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of this weakling with a training level of no more than 40.
