For the world, for the future.

Chapter 185 Falling to Dust

Time: 8:27 pm, December 13

Personnel: Vittorio Veneto, Littorio

Location: Rome

Topic: Venice

Veneto drank a cup of coffee casually, watched the person he was going to meet come in, and then sat down.

Littorio didn't expect that he would be summoned by his sister as soon as he returned to Rome.

"You'd better come to me for something, Veneto." Littorio rubbed his head tiredly.

"Of course, otherwise why would I look for you?" Veneto pushed a cocktail to Littorio.

"'The Naming of the Night' is worth savoring." Veneto said lightly.

Despite some dissatisfaction, Littorio took a sip.

"It tastes refreshing, sweet but slightly astringent. How did you do it?" After giving a slight compliment, Littorio looked at his sister.

Although the alcohol that was about to take effect would indeed make her feel a little relieved.

"Venice has found her commander." Veneto was too lazy to say more and went straight to the point.

"Her?" Littorio was a little tired of hearing this kind of thing. "I guess she just found another unlucky guy to follow for a while, and then got kicked out by that unlucky guy because she caused trouble."

"The Tempest Protocol is invalid." Veneto said.

Littorio's hands trembled. "Huh?"

"Are you serious?!" She was surprised for the first time.

Veneto calmly took a sip of coffee and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

"Wow, who can be so lucky? She found four commanders but none of them signed the contract, but this one signed it?" Littorio showed an interested look.

"The commander's name is Lorraine." Veneto handed over a document.

"Are you talking about that... the commander cadet who commands Burgundy, the Republic, and Richthofen?" Littorio looked suspicious again. "Don't tease me."

Veneto shrugged and made a gesture of invitation.

Littorio took out the document and took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but look a little serious.

"No wonder you asked me to meet you at the safe house..." She smiled bitterly.

"The information comes from the Coppola family." Veneto took another sip of coffee.

"Okay, okay, the information is indeed reliable." Littorio said helplessly, "So what? Don't tell me that's it?"

"Get ready early." Veneto looked out the window, the night of Rome coming into view. "Midnight is approaching."

"With the bishop here, Marco Polo can't take over the church for the time being, but if the Inquisition interferes..." Littorio felt a headache again.

"Rome is not a problem, the Senate can be bypassed." Veneto said lightly.

"You're crazy!" Littorio looked at Veneto in shock.

"We have no choice, Littorio." Veneto took the last sip of his coffee and put the cup and saucer on the table.

The spoon and cup collided, making a crisp sound, just like the state of their owners at the moment, decisive and without any echo.

For the first time, she looked Littorio in the eyes.

"We can just be mascots, but the premise is that we won't be eliminated." She stood up and walked to the window. "You should understand this."

"You...never mind, I give in..." How could a shipgirl, also from Sardinia, not understand what the other person meant? Littorio rubbed his brow.

"Deploy Naples ahead of time. Venice is a successful case study..." Veneto dictated carefully. "Send Legolo to Naples ahead of time. We must ensure that the Venice case study will be successful in Naples."

"I understand." Littorio stood up and stood next to Veneto.

The two of them looked at the night view of Rome together.

"Then, on the other hand, we need to give up the support of the Senate, contact those families, cede some of our interests to gain their support, and at the same time, we also need to gain influence among the people, right?" She briefly completed it.

"Well, let the Inquisition come in to divert their attention and buy time for the Bishop," Veneto continued.

"Time is too tight." Littorio said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do about it. If the situation didn't allow it, I would have wanted to help the bishop defend Brest."

"Bishop? What are you dreaming about!" Littorio thought Veneto was crazy.

"A charlatan, an unstoppable ambitious person. They are crazier than me. It's not the right time to dream of Rome." Veneto's tone remained calm.

"I really am..." Littorio could only nod.

"Go ahead, and move quickly." Veneto nodded. "If we get out, Sardin, without his reins, will be a toy for Frederick and Clemenceau."

"You and I don't have any ambitions. We just hope that Sardinia will be stable and peaceful."

--------

When Lorraine, as the leader, walked out of the carriage, he was greeted with sudden cheers.

It seems like the entire freshman class is here...

"Quack! Commander Luo! You're so good at speaking!"

After hearing this, Lorraine felt relieved.

It seems that I have really returned home, the unique abstraction of Tianhai Xiaodeng.

Lorraine smiled.

But the next second he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Aiya~ Miss Lorraine, it's been a long time~"

"Xiaobai!" Dongfang Ming was faster than Luo Lin. The moment he saw Bai Jiu coming out, he pounced on him.

Bai Jiu was stunned for a moment and hugged her best friend.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine." Bai Jiu also smiled helplessly. She found that she couldn't let Dongfang Ming let go, so she could only move Dongfang Ming away slightly.

"Oh, Miss Bai is out of prison?" Lorraine finally found a chance to retort.

"Of course, it's all thanks to Miss Lorraine's heroic fighting." Bai Jiu narrowed his eyes, but still couldn't hide his heavy bags under his eyes.

It seems that he didn't sleep well for a few nights.

"Let's go, how about this welcome ceremony?" Bai Jiu turned around, and following her, in addition to the Royal Oak and Independence, there was also a Sheffield.

"It's a bit too spectacular..." Lorraine felt a headache because of the noise.

"You are so powerful... Did you succeed in usurping the position of student union president?" He looked at Bai Jiu curiously.

"What do you mean by usurping the throne? That's called abdicating and letting someone else take over." Dongfang Ming was still hanging on Bai Jiu, and glanced at Lorraine with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, let's step down and let others take over." Lorraine followed Bai Jiu.

"Yes, newcomer, Sheffield." Bai Jiu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lorraine.

"Well, hello, Sheffield."

"Hello." Xie Fei simply saluted.

"Would you like to introduce yourself?" Bai Jiu looked at the ship girl wearing a tricorn hat and a windbreaker who appeared behind Lorraine.

"Venice, picked it up on the road."

"How come you are always so lucky?" Bai Jiu was a little upset. Venice's temperament showed that he was an extraordinary guy.

It is true that she is a young lady, but there are always lucky guys.

Venice saluted gracefully, "Hello, Miss Bai Jiu."

"Well, welcome. Remember to let your commander have a good rest." Bai Jiu's voice was somewhat resentful.

But, perhaps for some reason, she didn't end up making any jokes that were too serious.

"Okay, okay, Ming-chan, get off me!" She patted Dongfang Ming, and the pendant finally came off her.

"I was so worried about you!" Dongfang Ming seemed to relax finally.

"Where are we going?" Lorraine looked at the route and it looked familiar.

When he looked back, Fang Xiang and Xing Feng were already preparing to slip away, and were winking at him.

Lorraine admitted that his fists were hard.

"Do you think I'm here to pick you up? Principal Zhenhai specifically asked to see you and even sent me here as a receptionist..."

Lorraine shrank her neck.

Such a strong resentment!

Chapter 186 Conversation

Bai Jiu took Luo Lin into Zhenhai's office.

"Principal, I have brought the person to you." Bai Jiu took Lorraine to sit down without any hesitation.

"Well, congratulations, Bai Jiu." Zhenhai looked up. Cleveland had prepared tea for the two of them.

"No way, Principal Zhenhai is the decisive one." Bai Jiu took the tea.

"Isn't it too serious?" Lorraine felt that something was wrong.

"Well, there's a reason I'm looking for you two." Zhenhai looked at the two of them.

Cleveland sat down next to Zhenhai.

The two students sat up straight.

"Let's talk about Bai Jiu first. Your question is relatively simple." Zhenhai organized his words.

"Azur Lane means that they need you to support the front line on Taiwan Island." She looked at Bai Jiu.

The latter smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have any other choice?"

"Well, of course. After all, you can choose between stationing in port and joining the fleet."

"I'd better stay in Hong Kong." Bai Jiu sighed.

Zhenhai nodded gently, "I'm sorry, this is all I can do for you."

"It's okay, Principal." Bai Jiu shook his head, "I accept it."

"Well, the transfer order will be issued in June next year. You still have half a year to stabilize the family situation. If necessary, we will provide some help." Zhenhai sighed.

These two are the best talents, and she even hopes that they can graduate normally. After all, that way, they can grow for another four years.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, they cannot be restrained.

"That couldn't be better." Bai Jiu rubbed his brows tiredly.

Lorraine felt a little restless. Although there had always been rumors that Azur Lane was preparing to intervene in society, today was the first time he heard any concrete evidence...

"Then it's your turn, Lorraine." Zhenhai watched Bai Jiu leave, then looked at Lorraine.

"You know the current situation." She said slowly.

"So what does the principal mean?" Lorraine drank tea to hide his expression.

Zhenhai gestured to Cleveland.

"Well, actually I'm quite against this plan, but Yixian can't wait any longer." Cleveland sighed and handed Lorraine a document.

"Yixian?" Luo Lin asked tentatively as he took the document, "Is it... that person?"

"Yeah." Zhenhai nodded.

"We will organize a counterattack at the end of February next year," Cleveland explained. "The main task is to open up the shipping route from Taiwan to Sakura Island. This large-scale military operation is expected to last three months."

"If successful, then we only need to gradually suppress the waters between Donghuang and Sakura Empire, right? And push the battle line completely to the Pacific Ocean." Lorraine continued, flipping through the documents in his hand.

"Well, that's roughly what I mean. Besides, Sakura Empire has been struggling to stand on its own in the past two years, and has been plagued by internal and external troubles." Cleveland nodded.

"As much as I hate it, once the Sakura Empire is gone, the pressure of war that Donghuang will have to bear will be terrifying," Zhenhai said slowly. "Although I believe we can fight for every inch of our territory, there's no need to throw two more generations into this bloody grind."

"In other words, I need to participate in this battle?" Lorraine smiled bitterly.
