KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

Liu Cheng said unhappily, "My plan will be greatly compromised if I use this method. A forced melon is not sweet. If I have to rely on coercion to achieve my plan, then my persuasiveness will not be on the same level at all."

"I remember there is a saying in Donghuang that goes, 'A merciful army cannot be commanded.'"

"We in Donghuang have a saying, called the teacher of the king."

"

You are just too gentle."

"Yes, yes, I am old asshole."

Clemenceau smiled helplessly yet happily, then took out a recorder from her stockings, and his smile became as cunning as a fox: "I recorded our conversation just now. If I tell Richelieu to listen to it, it should be able to convince her."

"..."

Liu Cheng tilted his head helplessly. Clemenceau had so many tricks up his sleeve. He stretched out his hand and scratched her straight nose and said, "It's useless. It's what it is. A forced melon is not sweet. So, how is the thing I asked you to do before?"

"You have given up hope in Richelieu, have you?"

"It doesn't mean there won't be a way out just yet. For something this big, we always have to be prepared for multiple scenarios."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you."

Clemenceau turned over and looked at his man with a dazed look in his eyes. "I won't be able to see you for a while. As a reward, I want to do it again."

"Once? Twice is fine."

Although time is precious now, one still has to satisfy his lover, especially as they are about to part, and Clemenceau has made great efforts.

Touching the beautiful woman's flat back, Liu Cheng suddenly realized something.

"Is the recorder still on?"

"Haha, you found me."

"Wait, the voice of the one we had before wasn't recorded as well, was it?"

"Yes, I want to keep a memory, is that too much?"

"It shouldn't be too much... Never mind, don't let anyone else find out."

"Of course not, I have no such interest."

……

The communication with Clemenceau was just one of the things that Liu Cheng was busy with these days.

From Jean Bart's perspective, Liu Cheng was no different from usual. It seemed that after seeing Richelieu's weakness, he had completely accepted the reality. He still stayed in the villa during the day, and at night he and Jean Bart indulged in all kinds of romantic affairs, enjoying endless tenderness and sorrow.

As for the previous statement about letting Dunkirk stay, Jean Bart was actually serious about it, and Liu Cheng did not object, but Dunkirk really could not be so open at the moment.

Even so, Dunkirk felt that these days were the happiest days of her life. Sometimes she could clearly feel that Liu Cheng was deliberately trying to make her happy, and was also deliberately acting a little lustful, hugging her intimately in various appropriate and inappropriate places.

However, Dunkirk already knew that Liu Cheng was about to leave, so she devoted herself to it. She was a gentle and kind girl who was very easy to satisfy.

On the contrary, the little girls could clearly sense that Liu Cheng was abnormal. He no longer had much time to play with them, and even when he told them stories, he was perfunctory. After a while, he would say, "To know what happened next, please listen to the next episode." He would often disappear suddenly, hiding in a remote place and talking to his phone for a long time. He used to dote on the destroyers, but now he communicated more with adults like Brest and Suffren.

However, most of the little lolis in Iris, who had experienced a lot of arguments and disagreements for a long time, were very sensible and knew not to cause trouble to the upset adults, so Bal lost the opportunity to notice Liu Cheng's abnormality.

Or perhaps Jean Bal's mind was on another level at the moment. The current situation was an extremely critical period for both parties, and there were a lot of things to deal with and handle.

Liu Cheng also kept his words and actions consistent, and no longer mentioned anything about asking Richelieu to cooperate with him. He only occasionally took time to go to Iris's chapel to chat with her about some unimportant topics, or told her about the movements of the Royal Family and Donghuang, just like he was talking to an ordinary friend. Even when he saw that Richelieu's beautiful eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, Liu Cheng just kept a calm mind. The arrow was on the string, and it had to be shot even if there were no tail feathers.

It was a humid evening. Thick dark clouds covered the sky. The starless night was extremely dim. Strong winds blew the waves against the embankment, as if foreshadowing a gloomy future.

This night, Liu Cheng was a little different from usual. He kept asking Jean Bart for more, leaving her almost no chance to breathe and think. She lost consciousness in the uncontrollable happiness and fell asleep leaning on her lover's warm chest.

After a while, in the room with the night light on, Liu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.

Chapter 139 Richelieu, Still Richelieu

Gently pulling his hand out from under Jean Bart's body, Liu Cheng looked at Jean Bart's sleeping face in the light of the night light, bent down and gently kissed her cheek.

Liu Cheng knew that this number was Jeanbal's limit. A few more times would satisfy her to the point of losing consciousness and having a dreamless night till dawn, so he was not worried that such actions would wake her up.

I feel ashamed to be so scheming when facing the person I love, but some things have to be done.

Liu Cheng tiptoed down from the bed, took out the two letters that had been prepared long ago from the drawer, and pressed them on the bedside table with a box. The box contained the ring he got from Akashi. This was what Liu Cheng thought was the most suitable parting gift. It was not a betrayal, but just that they took different paths and were going to meet at the same place.

After helping Jeanbart cover herself with a thin blanket and looking at her face for a while, Liu Cheng stood up and left the room without any regrets. He hadn't brought anything with him from Iris, so he didn't need to do anything now.

To take something away.

After closing the door of the villa, in the dark courtyard, two yellow pupils shone with a faint light. Liu Cheng's heart trembled, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "Gasconi, why are you here?"

"Identification confirmed—Master, Gascony, at your service."

Liu Cheng stood there, staring at Gascoigne. Originally, he could not sense any emotion in her eyes, but now he could clearly sense a kind of obedience.

"I knew you had your own ideas, Gascoigne."

Liu Cheng reached out and touched Gascogne's pretty short blue hair, and said softly, "Whether you want to help Jean Bart or it's just a hunch or something, if the plan went well, I could indeed take you with me, but now it's not possible."

"Please give the order and place Gascon at your service."

Gascoigne's tone seemed to carry a hint of pleading. Perhaps it was an illusion, but it didn't matter now. Liu Cheng shook his head and said as he walked away, "You stay with your sisters. Remember what you said. The combat module can only be opened to the enemy. Do you understand?"

"Gascogne certainly knows, but what about me?"

The door on the wooden plank road opened, and Dunkirk's beautiful face showed her gentleness even in the dim light.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "I knew I couldn't hide it from everyone."

"After all, you told me you were leaving. From the beginning to the end, I believed that you would never give up so easily." Dunkirk walked in front of Liu Cheng, tilted his head and said, "I just didn't expect that you didn't even say goodbye to me. It makes me sad."

Liu Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I prepared two farewell letters and put them together with Jean Bart. She was going to pass them to you."

"Why don't you give it to me yourself?"

“Because it might be inconvenient.”

"Must you go?"

"We have to go."

"What if I force you to stay?"

"You will not."

Dunkirk's expression became serious, and he straightened his back and said, "Don't think I really won't. I'm usually too gentle with you, and you may have forgotten that I'm also a warrior of Iris."

Liu Cheng blinked, and immediately hugged her waist, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, I actually have a lot of people to pick me up, and they're almost at the outer sea of ​​Iris."

"I knew it, you're a playboy~"

The serious performance was broken at once. Dunkirk bit her lip, hugged the man's strong body tightly, and murmured: "I'm waiting for you, waiting for the day when I can always be by your side."

"I will definitely come, I promise."

Liu Cheng gently patted Dunkirk's flat and smooth back, let go of her delicate body and said goodbye to her.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye... and bring Gascogne with you, and don't bully our Iris sisters."

"I don't even have the chance to bully you..."

He swallowed the words he had said halfway, because Liu Cheng opened the door on the wooden plank road, and suddenly saw the Iris ship girls standing behind the door - Lyon, Banlv, Brest, Surcouf, Joan of Arc, Terrible... and of course Richelieu, the Richelieu standing in front of everyone, the noble and determined Richelieu, the Richelieu who led everyone forward.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. In fact, even just now he had not completely given up hope, because Richelieu, who led Iris to victory and glory again and again, should not be confused forever even if he was confused.

"Sure enough, hope always exists."

"Yes, someone has placed hope in front of me. If I don't even have the courage to grasp it, I will hate myself for being like this." Richelieu's beautiful red eyes were clear and moving at this moment. She stared deeply into Liu Cheng's eyes, which were her future destination. "So I choose hope."

Liu Cheng's heart was filled with satisfaction. Being trusted like that might make him happier than future success.

"What about you? Do you believe me too?"

"I have always believed in the hero."

"I believe in big brother!"

"Since the Cardinal believes in you, I will believe in you for the time being as well."

Liu Cheng nodded and said solemnly to the Iris ship girls: "Okay, that's enough. I will prove to you that I will never let you down."

"So, what should we do now? Just sail out?" Ji Shang was a charming and mysterious magician, and even when he asked a question, he seemed quite calm.

Ji Shang asked what everyone was thinking, and they subconsciously turned their eyes to Richelieu, but Richelieu looked at Liu Cheng.

"Go to the dock. There is a Napoleon-class destroyer moored there. It is ready for fuel and supplies. While the others haven't reacted yet, let's go to the open sea to meet up with the people who are waiting for us."

"Okay, let's go."

Under the leadership of Liu Cheng and Richelieu, a group of ship girls moved quickly. Gascoigne was pushed into the crowd by Dunkirk. The gentle and enthusiastic Dunkirk looked at the backs of her lover and the Iris sisters, with a myriad of emotions in her heart.

"You have prepared all this a long time ago, so... you have always believed in me?" Richelieu pursed his lips and couldn't help asking on the way to the dock.

Liu Cheng said truthfully: "I guess so. I had doubts and complaints, and I also felt that it was redundant preparation, but I still chose to believe in hope."

"Yes, I choose hope too."

Richelieu looked up at the sky, which was still covered with dark clouds without a trace of light, but it didn't matter because she knew that the light was beside her.

On April 5 of that year, the Iris government forcibly dissolved parliament and passed a resolution to join the new alliance led by Iron Blood.

The next day, countries including Iron Blood, Sakura Empire, Iris, Sardinia, Spain, Sweden, Finland and others announced that they would leave Azur Lane and form a new pan-national military alliance to adapt to the needs of fighting against the Sirens in the new era. Because the declaration included a description of the Red Alliance, it was called the "Red Axis".

On the same day, Richelieu, the former flagship of Iris, led a group of Iris ship girls in rebellion. She stated that escape was a fact, but she did not betray, and she would always fight for freedom and faith.

In the same month, the first special branch of Azur Lane with a human as commander was established. Its members came from Iris, Sardinia, Iron Blood, Royal and East Glory, and played a crucial role in reuniting all the ship girls in the future.

At this point, human society was officially divided, and the two major forces, Azur Lane and Red Axis, were in nominal cooperation but actual confrontation.

History has opened a new page.

Big brother is so beautiful that I have to post it.jpg

Volume: Commander's Azur Lane

Chapter 1 History Does Not Repeat Itself

In the dark night, the destroyer with its navigation lights flashing left the port area of ​​Iris without encountering any obstacles.

"Or maybe everyone knows it."

Unlike many shipgirls who stood at the stern and looked at the distant Iris Port, Liu Cheng stood at the bow of the upper deck and looked into the distance, because from now on he was the real leader of the ship. Others could look back on the past, but he had to consider the future. When talking about war on paper, he might be able to command with great force, but when it really came to this moment, he realized the heavy sense of responsibility and understood Richelieu's hesitation more.

"I saw many of the sisters of the same level as Iris, some chose to stay, and some chose to leave with you. It is impossible that no one was alarmed during the process, but no one stopped them, which means that many people were already prepared."

Richelieu stood beside Liu Cheng. The pressure on her was no less than that on Liu Cheng. She also could not turn back. If she did not set an example, others would only become more uneasy.

"Of course, some of them trust you, and some trust me, but in the final analysis, they still trust you. We have to work hard for such trust."

"Yes, we all have to work hard."

In the pitch-black night, the destroyer gradually accelerated and began to cut through the waves along the set course. In that vast ocean there seemed to be an endless abyss that could swallow up all words and emotions.

From the beginning, Liu Cheng's purpose in coming to Iris was not to reconcile the contradictions, because he knew that the contradictions could not be reconciled. Even if he tried to delay it for a while, it would only delay the progress of history a little bit, and in the end, it would usher in a more violent outbreak. Therefore, Liu Cheng's original purpose was just to be the ship girl of Richelieu and Iris. The split was not the end, but just the beginning of everything.

Liu Cheng turned his head and could see Richelieu's beautiful profile through the light from the hull. If she was a little melancholy and confused before, now she was serious and determined, but Liu Cheng could feel some other emotions in it.

Reaching out his hand and holding Richelieu's palm, Richelieu turned his head to look at Liu Cheng and said, "Only courage deserves a little praise. Now is not the time to contact me."

As he said this, Richelieu pretended to pull it out of Liu Cheng's hand, but Liu Cheng held it even tighter.

"It's okay. There's no one else you can talk to me about this right now. You need to stay strong in front of others. It's also okay to vent your emotions in front of me. I don't want you to keep it in your heart."

Richelieu looked into Liu Cheng's eyes, and the little bit of ice that had condensed in his heart was melted inch by inch without any resistance. He pursed his lips and smiled, a beautiful and sad smile.

"I didn't expect you to find this out."

"Because I'm a heart thief, of course I understand women's hearts better."

Liu Cheng's joke seemed to have the opposite effect. Instead of lightening the atmosphere, it caused the two of them to fall into silence. However, Liu Cheng was waiting, and when Richelieu spoke, the slender hand in his palm also clenched his palm.

Not long after, Richelieu spoke slowly.

"Do you know what happened to the battleship Jean Bart in history?"

"You must know that. You are an outstanding navy officer. The history of World War II is an absolute compulsory course. When the war broke out, the battleship Jean Bart was not completed. She was transferred to the port of Casablanca and had only one chance to fire before she ran aground. During the rest of the war, Jean Bart became a pile of wreckage in the port. Her four main guns were removed and sent to New York, USA to complete the renovation and modification of the battleship Richelieu."

"That's right. Not only did the sister ship Richelieu fail to protect her sister, but she also took away her important main gun as a battleship."

At this point, Richelieu smiled at Liu Cheng with a bit of despair, and said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, just like now, the elder sister took away the younger sister's important existence and left her. History is repeating itself."
