KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The same goes for the ship girls. They had been living like this for more than ten years, but the appearance of Liu Cheng changed everything. The ship girls can no longer get used to the days without him. What a sinful man.

The Iris Napoleon-class destroyer finally passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The Iron Blood and Sardinian fleets that had originally blocked the strait began to evacuate, and the strait law enforcement ships began to restore normal navigation order in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the fleets of both sides, which were originally confronting each other in the open sea, retreated after exchanging signals with each other. The explosive situation began to ease due to the establishment of the Red Axis.

After all forces received the news that no direct conflict had occurred in the Strait of Gibraltar, they all breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to bear the eternal infamy of destroying the unity of human society. Being able to remain restrained and not trigger a larger-scale conflict was good news today.

Of course, actions are rational, but attitudes must be expressed. Both sides began to launch large-scale propaganda machines, diplomatic teams began to visit various places, and although the army was not of much use in the era of KanColle, it began to be symbolically allocated.

In this new chapter of international relations, everyone wants to seize the initiative, but no one can predict what the future will look like.

"The future is definitely in our hands, because we represent the true truth, a cause that can be recognized by all the ship girls. Many ship girls from various forces, including you, are supporting us. So now it is just a temporary split. In the end, with our efforts, the ship girls will definitely be reunited as one. This is the direction we are striving for, and it is a truly just cause."

In the destroyer's conference room, Liu Cheng summoned all the ship girls except Gascoigne who was driving the ship. Even Champagne who was still sleeping was carried by Louis IX. I don't know how this slim and thin blue-haired beauty can sleep so much. Compared with her, Vicious is considered hardworking.

Being able to get out of the Strait of Gibraltar means that the most difficult time has passed, so Liu Cheng began to do a very important task - painting a big picture.

The high EQ statement is to straighten out everyone's thoughts, so that all the ship girls can fully understand how just and sacred the cause they are doing now is -

"What we are doing now is not betrayal at all, but proof that the ship girls of different forces can unite and be close to each other. So don't have any moral pressure, but be confident. What we are doing now is for the happiness of all the ship girls and the survival of the earth's civilization!"

"Does everyone understand?"

After an impassioned speech, Liu Cheng looked at everyone's reactions with anticipation and found that it seemed different from what he had imagined.

"I understand. You told me about this matter before you came out. Of course I understand, sister."

Iris heavy cruiser Suffren is a carefree ship girl. She looks like a girl but likes to call herself a sister. Her long silver hair is tied into beautiful twin ponytails and she has a cheerful smile on her face, which makes people feel very friendly at first sight.

"Anyway, what we are doing now is the right and just thing, so don't worry about the rest." Su Fulun held his chin with one hand and asked Liu Chengdao with some pride, "What do you think, Commander? Am I right, sister?"

"That's pretty much it."

There was nothing wrong with the meaning, but Liu Cheng always felt that Xu Furen had not grasped the essence of the matter at all.

"So we are partners of justice?" Southwest Wind grinned, revealing a silly smile, "Hehehe, actually I just wanted to be with big brother."

Southwest Wind is still as innocent as ever, and speaks without restraint, but he speaks out the thoughts of many people, what is a just cause? I don't understand it at all, anyway, I just want to follow Richelieu or be with Liu Cheng.

Shukuf is a confident and talkative girl. She held her chin and said, "But I will definitely have to do a lot more than before. There is no fixed port to return to. I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring all the clothes and cosmetics with me, and I didn't prepare any sunscreen for summer. My skin might get tanned now."

Surcouf's words immediately changed the topic, and everyone, who had felt relieved after going through the difficult times, began to discuss some strange things.

"Should we give our fleet a name from now on?" Kaixuan, who was full of romanticism, suggested, "How about calling it the Knights of the Church?"

Horrible said: "It would be more accurate to call it the Harem Group, Commander, don't you think?"

Liu Cheng looked straight ahead. Who was talking? Was anyone talking?

"Are there no more combat missions?"

"My hero, should it be okay to call Sister Dunkirk?"

"What cuisine are we going to eat from now on, or will we eat everything?"

"Hey, I need to drink. The God of the Wild Sea cannot live without wine."

"Hehe, anyway, I have the commander to eat, that's enough."

"Ron, you, eat people!?"

"What do you mean by cannibalism? Eating German sausages is more like it..."

Regensburg quickly covered his mouth and found that not many people noticed him. He couldn't help but glance at the "German sausage" place. Fortunately, Liu Cheng was busy explaining to everyone and didn't notice him.

Regensburg suddenly looked forward to his future life. At least he would have the opportunity to eat German sausages every day, hehe.

Chapter 13 Future Strategy

Originally, Liu Cheng imagined that everyone's reaction might be that they were immersed in the sacred cause and felt extremely excited and excited, especially since the conference room was mainly composed of Iris's ship girls and there were many devout believers. They should have a very religious romantic spirit and regard sacrificing themselves to achieve others' success as a virtue.

Later I found out that this didn't seem to be the case.

The devout nun accompanied Elvi. She was more concerned about the color of the fleet's flags and suggested that it would be best to do some divination to find one or several lucky colors.

Liu Cheng looked at the divination balls, tarot cards, coffee grounds, and even the Bagua diagram she took out from various places in her thin dress, and suddenly he began to doubt. Is Ban Erwei really a traditional nun?

Are there still traditional nuns among KanColle?

The bard Brest is gentle and delicate, so she is more concerned about the allocation of rooms on the destroyer. She took the initiative to propose to live next to the captain's room. The reason is that she wants to be closer to Liu Cheng, so that she can better write Liu Cheng's heroic story, spread it throughout the world of ship girls, and influence everyone to reunite as soon as possible to accomplish the great cause.

After Brest finished speaking, she blinked at Liu Cheng. This noble and beautiful ship girl, who was as elegant as an elf, had clear waves in her light blue eyes. She was expecting Liu Cheng, who was already very close to her, to give a positive answer.

But Liu Cheng didn't give it.

Pola looked at him and laughed, August looked at him and laughed, Ron looked at him and laughed too, how could Liu Cheng express his attitude?

Templar Louis IX, with gray hair, red eyes, and a heroic appearance, her conservative clothes could not hide her beautiful charm and voluptuous figure.

She is quite normal and completely in line with the integrity of a Templar Knight, so Louis IX proposed to establish rules and require every member to follow the standards of believers. It is by setting an example that more ship girls can be influenced. As a Templar Knight, she can be responsible for arbitration and trial, absolutely treating everyone equally and impartially.

Liu Cheng briefly thought about this and then perfunctorily replied to Louis IX, saying that he still needed

Something to think about.

After all, if he really did that, he would be the first person to be judged by the spear in the hand of Louis IX, who violated the teachings of monogamy and often engaged in promiscuous behavior at all times of the day and night. Although it was later proved that this would not be the case, after all, even the Knights Templar became his lover...

To some extent, the fleet that Liu Cheng is in charge of is similar to the power of Azur Lane. The adults who understand the current situation do not need Liu Cheng to explain it, and many of the others do not understand it, but just follow the older sisters and brothers they trust. So it is not necessary for them to fully understand, as long as they know that what they are doing now is a very just and great cause.

With such belief as support and foundation, at least there will be no psychological problems for everyone.

In fact, for a fleet, there are still many things to be determined, but those are just details. The most important thing now is the direction. With a specific direction, there will be a goal.

After the meeting, Liu Cheng called Richelieu, Rome, Pola, Tirpitz and August into a small room separately.

Of course it wasn't a party, so Liu Cheng immediately stopped August from trying to seize the initiative, biting his lips while taking off half of his stockings, "Witch lady, where is your elegance?" Although Liu Cheng now likes August more, not the Riddler but the obsessed witch.

As the saying goes, big meetings talk about small things, and small meetings talk about big things. Calling these reliable ship girl leaders over is to inform and discuss what to do next.

"My initial plan is this. We will go to the Royal Navy for supplies first, and help all the Royal Navy shipgirls transform their mind cubes while exchanging ideas. Then we will cross the Atlantic Ocean to the White Eagle, treat Yorktown, transform its mind cube, and try to win over the Enterprise to become our ally."

"The Donghuang government has agreed to be responsible for all of our supplies, logistics, and combat material supply, and has provided eighteen locations near Donghuang's overseas bases as our bases, in various ocean locations. The combat mission is the same as before, defending the safety of nearby waters, and whether to take the initiative to attack is up to us."

Roma watched as Liu Cheng unfolded a world map and marked it with a pen. Combined with what he had said before, these should be the locations of the 18 overseas bases. Indeed, there were locations in all the main battle zones of the two oceans.

"I thought we would go to Donghuang's port area. It's a good thing to have our own territory."

Liu Cheng said: "Don't worry, our autonomy is absolutely guaranteed. In addition to providing supplies and support, Donghuang will not interfere with any of our actions and decisions."

"As expected of the world's largest country, you have the confidence." Rome's tone was a little regretful. For Sardinia today, let alone regaining the glory of Rome, it was a luxury to be politically independent and not be influenced by the Iron Blood.

Liu Cheng would certainly not allow his fleet to carry too many national attributes, as this would be quite disadvantageous for subsequent actions, but his identity as a Donghuang person was already an invisible connection.

"My idea is to temporarily place our base here, Guam in the Mariana Islands. Donghuang will build a large artificial island for us in the open sea. If we start construction now, we can move in after we leave White Eagle. What do you think?"

"This way?" Pola said in surprise, "It's not far from the main battlefield in the Pacific, but isn't it a bit far from Donghuang?"

Richelieu pursed her lips, not understanding Liu Cheng's meaning for a moment. She looked at Liu Cheng with her beautiful red eyes: "Commander must have his own ideas, why not speak them out and let us discuss them."

"Of course there is a reason."

Liu Cheng smiled and asked, "Where do you think the weakest link in the Red Axis alliance is?"

Several people looked at each other subconsciously and decided to talk it out.

August: "Sardinia."

Richelieu: "Sardinia."

Paula: "Iris."

Roma: “Iris!”

Tirpitz smiled without saying anything. As the ship girl who communicated with Liu Cheng the most, she certainly understood Liu Cheng's intention.

After finishing speaking, several people looked at each other again, with cold and arrogant smiles on their cheeks. They were about to start attacking each other. Liu Cheng quickly spoke up to stop this development.

"You really don't have enough vision and understanding. The weakest link in the Red Axis is of course the Sakura Empire."

Sardinia is a fence-sitter, just pretending to be a snake. Liu Cheng doesn't regard them as members of the Red Axis. Iris's power has been weakened because of Richelieu's departure, but Jean Bart and Iron Blood are currently truly of one mind, and there is also the geographical reason.

Liu Cheng pointed at the map and explained, "First, there are many factions within Sakura Empire. As far as I know, even if it has announced its joining of the Red Axis, there are still many shipgirls who oppose it, including important figures like Nagato and Mikasa. Secondly, the geographical location. Although Sakura Empire has joined the alliance, it is far away from the European continent. In fact, it is almost fighting alone. It also has to face the pincer attack of the Northern Alliance, White Eagle and Eastern Glory, and the external pressure is also great. Under such dual pressure from both inside and outside, Sakura Empire is definitely the most vulnerable link in the Red Axis and the one that is most likely to break away."

"So my idea is to start with the Sakura Empire, dismember the Red Axis, and reunite the ship girls through both soft and hard tactics."

Bora thought about it and nodded involuntarily: "It seems to make sense. No wonder you chose this place. It's not far from the port area of ​​​​Chongqing."

"Of course it makes sense. This commander has foresight."

"There is actually another reason." Richelieu stroked the map with her slender hand, a trace of admiration flashing in her beautiful eyes. "If the Sakura Empire is unable to take care of itself, it may not be able to take care of the defense of such a large sea area. Then we can fill these gaps."

"That's right." Liu Cheng sighed softly and said, "In any case, division is not a good thing. This is the sadness of the ship girls and the sadness of mankind, so I also hope to minimize the bad influence. Both humans and ship girls cannot withstand too much loss."

Richelieu pursed his lips, listening to Liu Cheng's words, his heart was filled with ripples, and he felt compassion. He is truly worthy of being my Richelieu, Commander...

Liu Cheng looked at the participating ship girls and asked, "How about it? If there are no objections, then it's settled?"

"no disagreement."

"That's it."

"You are the commander, we follow your orders."

"Okay." Liu Cheng made the decision, "It's decided then, let's go!"

Chapter 14: You also play, Liu Cheng

When Marco Polo and Dunkirk arrived at the Strait of Gibraltar, Liu Cheng's ships had already sailed west of the strait for several hours.

When Marco Polo heard that Liu Cheng had left, he was a little upset.

"Do you know how outstanding my Rustiqian's abilities are? How could we let him go like this? As long as we can hold him back for a while until I get here, I will definitely be able to persuade him to come back. But now our alliance has just been established and something like this has happened. Now what do you think we should do?"

Bismarck's mouth twitched, and he looked at Marco Polo who felt good about himself and said bluntly: "Are you okay?"

Prince Eugen just sneered out loud, the silly Marco Polo was so cute.

Marco Polo did not want to conflict with Bismarck, but he was not afraid of Prince Eugen, so he raised his head, with his long dark blue hair spread out behind him: "What are you laughing at?"

"I remember happy things."

"Are you happy that Liu Cheng is gone?"

"Of course I'm happy that the traitor is gone." Prince Eugen had no psychological pressure to lie. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I also saw that Rome from Sardinia was also on Liu Cheng's ship. You should be happy too, right?"

"...Humph, that's because Veneto's control is too poor..."

Marco Polo's morale suddenly dropped, and he began to mutter things like "Veneto is not a team", "Littorio is committing a crime", "Sardinia is too humane", "If it were me, I could unify the world", and the dock, which had originally had a heavy atmosphere, became cheerful.

At this, Marco Polo just thought to himself, you bunch of ship girls are ignorant of your destiny, it's ridiculous. Wait until I get the command of the Red Axis, and then wait for Liu Cheng to unify the Azure Lane, then I will be the king of all ship girls, and then I will ask you, Prince Eugen, to wash my feet for me. One day is not enough, I will wash it for a month!

By the time the Sardinian pursuit fleet led by Zara arrived at the Strait of Gibraltar, it was already daytime the next day. Zara, Dunkirk and Prince Eugene looked at each other and suddenly understood each other.

So you also play... ahem, Liu Cheng?

Just like this, the two major forces that were supposed to be on the verge of a war with Azur Lane due to the establishment of the Red Axis became somewhat subtle because of Liu Cheng's actions.

After all, the ship girls are ship girls. Even if there are conflicts, they are of the same blood. Even if they are completely at odds, they will not really attack each other, at least not under the current circumstances. Maybe in the past, due to the accumulation of conflicts, they might do something impulsive when their emotions dominate their reason, or it might be a coincidence like Bismarck and Hood, but after Liu Cheng appeared, there would be no such possibility.

However, the movement in human society was relatively large. Facing the threat of the Sirens, humans who had been silent for a long time seemed to have suddenly discovered that in fact, there were still conflicts among them in history, which was so similar to history.

Compared to the ship girls, human society naturally focused most of its attention on Liu Cheng. People praised or criticized this soldier, who was previously known as a human hero, depending on their stance. But no matter what their stance was, the appearance of a human who could truly influence the ship girls caused an uproar in various countries.

The royal family expressed great enthusiasm and generous courtesy for Liu Cheng's arrival. Not only did they allow the ship to pass through the water gate, they also specially allowed it to enter the Thames to enjoy the flowers and applause on both sides of the river.

A huge portrait of Liu Cheng was hung on the airship, and all the luminous buildings in London were covered with Liu Cheng's various military uniforms and daily photos, with large characters: Humans fighting side by side with the ship girls. The double entendre made men's blood boil and women scream, as if the worship of Liu Cheng had overwhelmed the worry about the future of the divided human race.

Liu Cheng also showed great respect for the royal courtesy and hype. He put on his Donghuang general's uniform, stood firmly and proudly at the bow of the ship, and waved to the crowds watching on both sides of the river.

Until the Iris Napoleon-class destroyer named "Unity" sailed next to another old warship on the Thames - the cruiser Belfast. Its chimney and rear deck were full of burn marks. Those were the scars left by the Sirens when they invaded London eleven years ago. The people of London repaired the hull of the Belfast, but kept these marks as a symbol of the royal glory and resistance that once existed.

The siren is a symbol of perseverance and courage.

Surrounded by the Royal Horse Guards, Liu Cheng walked onto the deck of the Belfast and once again demonstrated his strong talent for public speaking on the makeshift podium.

Raising one hand, signaling the audience who had been applauding and cheering since he stepped onto the podium to quiet down, Liu Cheng looked straight ahead, and his tone gradually changed from calm to passionate.

"I am very happy that the brave and optimistic royal people can welcome me in this way. It seems that I do have some fame, thanks to my achievements in my previous job, so I was lucky enough to get everyone's praise. These are of course my honors, but also my shackles, because I have received praise beyond my efforts, so I have to do my best to live up to my identity as a soldier."

"I think everyone already knows that a day ago, another military alliance broke away from Azur Lane and was established. It seems that a crack has been formed on the monument of human civilization. We have never been so united before. In order to defeat the common enemy and protect human civilization, dishwashers and engineers fight side by side. Waiters and white-collar workers make the same contribution. Regardless of skin color, gender, or race, soldiers fighting on the front line eat wheat from Gabon and mushrooms from East Timor. Girls from Montenegro and boys from Bolivia sing and celebrate victory together. Unity is such a beautiful and elegant word."

"Are humans really a race that never learns from history and forgets the pain once the wound has healed? Is it true that after being born in adversity, humans will die in comfort? Is history really going to repeat itself?"

"No! I am the best answer standing here! Humans may make mistakes, but the shining points of humanity will never go out, and there will always be people who practice their beliefs with their actions. Because we will make mistakes along the way, but we will also learn lessons. The Sirens cannot destroy human civilization, and humans will never perish in the sinking!"

"I came here from the European continent, and I brought with me the shipgirls of Iron Blood, Iris, and Sardinia. Whether it's me or any other soldier or shipgirl, we have never betrayed, because we are always loyal to humanity and our mission. So I stand here to tell everyone, never be discouraged by a temporary setback, there will always be the dawn that illuminates the earth ahead."

"I believe that it won't be long before we can see humanity united again. We learn lessons, we remove prejudices, and we cross the hymn of human courage and tolerance. The Siren cannot destroy us, and we cannot destroy ourselves either."
