KanColle does not allow me to work from nine to five

In fact, no matter whether they are from the Northern Alliance or any other faction, the destroyer girls are all innocent and lively. As long as they have a lively personality, they will be interested in the very friendly Liu Cheng. The little loli killer is not just a name, and the girls from the Northern Alliance are no different.

Minsk is a quirky girl who keeps asking some sudden questions during the transformation.

"After you transform the Mind Cube like this, you can communicate and command us?"

"Yes, there will be a live combat exercise tomorrow."

"Can you do this when you're not in combat?"

"Of course you can." Liu Cheng explained patiently not only to Minsk but also to the other Northern Alliance warship girls, "But just like I won't touch others easily, I won't touch your mind cube when there's no war. This is polite and a proper rule. And when I activate this, I need to process a lot of high-dimensional information, which is very tiring."

"I know, I know. I believe you on this point. Sister Kuibyshev has always said in the group that you are very reliable."

Minsk blinked his big eyes, looking a little excited. "It suddenly occurred to me that if you use this ability of yours to play cards together, wouldn't you be invincible?"

"..."

"Also, what will happen if all the energy is concentrated on one person? Will the Spirit Bomb blow up the Mirror Sea in one go?"

"..."

"Even if the ship might explode, can we put all the energy into the object? Boom! The power is 100 million times that of a hydrogen bomb! A large equivalent is good, and a high mushroom cloud is beautiful!"

Well, when in doubt, use nuclear bombs. Being simple and rough is reckless. This is very Northern Alliance. The disappearing stereotype has deepened in some ways.

Liu Cheng took a long time to squeeze out two words from his throat: "Genius!"

“Hehe, I do have some ideas.” Minsk was very proud and waved his hand to show his modesty. “Of course, sometimes I mess up and need to apologize profusely… Anyway, you can generally experiment according to my ideas.”

"let me consider it……"

As Liu Cheng spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the Horror beside him out of the corner of his eye. He always thought that the questions asked by this little girl Iris were sharp, but now it seems that there is always someone better. At least Horror's questions did not pose any real danger, and now she is still a warm and caring person.

In fact, there is more than one genius in the Northern League, Minsk.

Agile, a Northern Alliance Outpost-class destroyer, is a rather eye-catching outlier among the silver-haired Northern Alliance ship girls. She has beautiful light yellow twin ponytails and a leather jumpsuit under her shorts and jacket, which tightly wraps her petite but well-proportioned body. Her lively and cheerful appearance reminds Liu Cheng of an "old friend" from Sardinia, the little inventor Leonardo da Vinci.

Liu Cheng put his sensitive forehead against hers, feeling her ship equipment and energy circuits. His brows furrowed more and more, but he was reluctant to start the transformation.

After a difficult exploration, Liu Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the

The cute face with a smile on its face once again said those two words: "Genius..."

Chapter 13: Tashkent, top three or even top five cutest

It is obviously just a destroyer's ship equipment, with clear tasks of bombardment, torpedoing and air defense, and the energy pathway does not need to be as purely violent as a battleship, or as complex and sophisticated as an aircraft carrier.

But it was different with the agile ship equipment. Liu Cheng felt as if he had taken over a pile of uncommented code from his predecessor, looked at the messy operating mechanism, and was amazed to find that this pile of code could actually run according to its intended functions.

"Who designed your ship's uniform?"

"Of course it's me!" Lingmin was a little happy after being praised as a genius. "I'm a super genius mechanic of the Northern Union. I designed and modified my ship equipment myself. Some of my ideas were experimented with my own ship equipment. You heard it just now, the bearings are turning, the pull rods are pulling, and the ship equipment is roaring regularly... That's the most charming heartbeat of machinery!"

[That's obviously a protest with full redundancy...]

Liu Cheng didn't want to discourage such a lively and confident girl, so he tentatively asked, "Is it possible that there is a mechanical jam? That is, the muzzle. According to the critical speed theory, a non-constant velocity universal joint should be used there instead of a flexible universal joint transmission shaft."

"What theory? Hmm, so the reason I have been at a loss for ideas is to consider this theory..." Lingmin held her chin and pretended to think, but finally gave up and stuck out her tongue at Liu Cheng. She said naturally, "I don't understand any theory at all! After all, I am a genius mechanic, not a scholar! Hahahaha! Anyway, I can just polish or knock it and it will be fine."

Liu Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he looked up and asked, "Is there no adult to help her?"

"Help?" Soviet Rossiya, who was standing by and supervising, said proudly, "Lingmin is a soldier and mechanic who can stand on his own in the Northern Alliance. He doesn't need our help."

Soviet Bellaros sat at a table nearby, her long legs in black silk stockings crossed. She had just had a drink with Kirov, and now she put down her glass and laughed, "Liu Cheng, don't underestimate Lingmin, she's just a destroyer. She's a genius of our Northern Alliance. Are you surprised by her creativity?"

"A little……"

One dared to attack her, the other dared to allow her to attack him. He is stupid, big, black and rough, with a violent aesthetic and great strength to make bricks fly... Well, the stereotype has been deepened again.

Liu Cheng called Shensu over and rubbed the girl's face while she was confused. He then called Chapayev and asked her to massage his shoulders from behind.

After receiving the reward, Liu Cheng took a deep breath and began to tackle Lingmin's pile of shitty codes. It must be said that Lingmin was really a genius. Although there were a lot of unreasonable redundancies, there were also a few structures that even inspired Liu Cheng. The methods that were previously considered unreasonable could also carry the flow of high-dimensional energy. Combined with the theories he got from the Dream Weaver, Liu Cheng felt that he was almost able to summarize the physical properties of the underlying energy of the Mind Cube.

"Miss Tashkent, right? Please sit here and wait for a while. I will help you with the transformation after I have a short rest."

Liu Cheng rubbed his temple. Helping Lingmin transform the mind cube was even more tiring than helping strong men like Enterprise and Frederick the Great. Moreover, the Northern Alliance's ship equipment had some ideas of violent aesthetics in it. Although it seemed that they could not compare with the sophistication of the Iron Blood or the high technology of the White Eagle, the actual effect was not bad. There was quite a sense of beauty of powerful bricks flying, which gave Liu Cheng a lot of inspiration.

With long lavender hair that was quite conspicuous among the silver-haired ship girls, Tashkent looked up and down at the male adult in front of her with her icy blue eyes. An expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her cute little round face. In fact, she was a little nervous in her heart. She deliberately stared at Liu Cheng to see if he was really resting or secretly looking at her.

After several eye contact, Tashkent's nervousness was almost uncontrollable, so the girl decided to take the initiative and said with a pouty mouth, "Comrade, do you want to use this excuse to look at Tashkent for a while longer?"

"what?"

Liu Cheng was a little slow to react. Although the little girl in front of him had a round face, big eyes, and beautiful long purple hair covering her thick bangs, which made her round face look even smaller, her little mouth was slightly pouting, and her willful expression made people want to love her. When she spoke, there was a soft vibrato in her voice, which was really cute.

" alt='Tashkent'>

Tashkent was in the top three or even top five cutest girls Liu Cheng knew, but she was also far ahead in terms of feeling good about herself.

"You may have misunderstood something..."

"No, Tashkent, you didn't misunderstand." Chapayev interrupted Liu Cheng's explanation and said with a chuckle, "Our commander likes girls very much, and Tashkent, you are very popular, so it's normal for him to want to take a few more glances at you."

As Chapayev said this, he gently rubbed Liu Cheng's back with his hand that was originally kneading his shoulders. Liu Cheng

The boy understood some of Chapayev's meaning. Maybe the girl in front of him was not so self-satisfied.

"I knew it."

Tashkent sighed maturely and said with a pout, "With the title of 'Sky Blue Cruiser', people presume to think that Tashkent is a cute and obedient child. They approach Tashkent without permission, and then they are disappointed after getting in touch with Tashkent. I have seen this kind of thing too many times, and it is really troublesome."

Liu Cheng blinked and probably understood Tashkent's psychology. It seemed that she didn't dislike other people's attention, but she was afraid of being placed with too many expectations and didn't want others to feel lost. It was a kind yet complex mentality.

“I’m not disappointed.”

"Oh, it's okay if you're disappointed Comrade-chan, that's just how I am anyway."

"I don't think so. It's obvious that you are very demanding of yourself in Tashkent."

Tashkent was a little flustered by what Liu Cheng said. She shrank her head and hid the lower half of her face in her high collar, muttering, "No, I'm very casual."

"Anyway, I'm not disappointed. Tashkent is very cute. As for being obedient... I don't think I've seen many obedient girls. Most destroyers have their own personalities." Liu Cheng pointed at the Horror next to him and said, "This is Iris's Horror. No one can match her speed. Don't be fooled by her being so well-behaved and sensible now. She's actually very sharp-tongued."

Keba was not unhappy when her name was called. She was even a little happy about Liu Cheng's attitude towards her. She lifted her skirt gracefully and said without raising her head, "Commander, if you use me as a stepping stone, I will reveal your true face."

"No, please keep this matter of lolita a secret for me."

"I'm sorry to hear that you've fooled me."

"I'm sorry, I did it on purpose. It's like this: real and fake, fake and real."

"It's obviously true, true, true..."

As he spoke Horrible, he could no longer maintain his elegant expression and laughed out loud.

Liu Cheng and Kebo had a long-unseen argument. He looked at Tashkent who was blinking and said, "The name Comrade-chan is very interesting. Please continue to call me that."

"Ah."

"Please lift your bangs. I'm going to transform your mind cube."

"Ah."

Tashkent looked at Liu Cheng's face getting closer and closer, and suddenly felt a little shy, as if he really thought too much and felt a little embarrassed... But this feeling of being treated in a normal and kind way was so comfortable...

Chapter 14: The Maverick Comrades of the Northern Alliance

The destroyers of the Northern Alliance all have their own personalities, and the adults even more so.

Of course, there are many ship girls whose outward appearance fits Liu Cheng's stereotype, such as the battleship Gangut who drinks vodka like water and insists that she is not drunk during the transformation.

Hey, guess what? After drinking three bottles of 87-proof vodka, Gangut was not drunk at all. He was indeed a revolutionary veteran of the old Beilian Zhenghongqi.

But Gangut's sister, the battleship Sevastopol, just drank a little red wine with the Duke of York, and she was already dancing with joy, her beautiful face full of blush.

"I'm not drunk... You're probably no match for me in terms of combat power, but since we share the same aspirations...hiccups, I'll treat you as an equal. After all, comrade, you do have some rare abilities."

"Yes, yes, please, Comrade Sevastopol, sit down. I will help you transform the Mind Cube."

Liu Cheng rubbed his shoulder which had been patted hard by Sevastopol several times and said expressionlessly. Then he saw Sevastopol stagger and almost fell down sitting on the air. Fortunately, the generous and mature sister Gangut supported her from behind.

Gangut shook his head in a disappointed tone, "My sister's revolutionary will still needs to be sharpened."

No matter how you look at it, revolutionary will has nothing to do with alcohol tolerance, right? No, maybe for the Northern Alliance, it is still related...

Gangut talks about revolution every other sentence and is a passionate ship girl. The same is true for the light cruiser Kirov. She has long silver hair, a capable figure, and a firm look in her flaxen eyes. She is definitely a determined and generous female warrior.

"Come on, come over here, comrade from Donghuang, transform my body and core, and work together to accomplish our great cause!"

Kirov's very infectious words made Liu Cheng's blood boil, and then when he felt Kirov's ship equipment, his blood cooled. It seemed that Kirov must have sacrificed his ship equipment to Lingmin in order to fight better. Such complex and redundant equipment was used by Kirov with all his might. He was really a strong and determined revolutionary fighter.

Because Donghuang has always been a traditional ally of the Northern Alliance, and for many other reasons, the Northern Alliance's ship girls are actually very close to and curious about Liu Cheng. Although they will not call him commander, calling him comrade is close enough.

Liu Cheng could feel that shipgirls like Kronstadt and Chkalov were very interested in him. According to Kronstadt, the bold and beautiful shipgirl,

"I will do some research on you, comrade, to see if you are trustworthy and whether you can fight alongside us... Don't be nervous. I call you comrade, which means I still trust the judgment of Chapayev and Kuibyshev... Of course, my intelligence gathering ability is very strong, so don't worry, I won't wrong you.

People, hahahaha——"

Of course, in addition to these, there are also ship girls like Voroshilov and Kursk, who accept the transformation calmly and keep a proper distance from strangers they meet for the first time. Their not-so-enthusiastic way of getting along with others also makes people feel at ease.

Volga seems a little natural, Soviet Rossiya is always serious, Soviet Bellaros is cheerful and confident... In short, the Northern Alliance does not have the kind of ship girl that makes people feel difficult to get along with as soon as they meet. It turns out that stereotypes are not good.

The situation in the Atlantic battlefield was similar to that in the Pacific battlefield, both were somewhat strange.

In previous Siren Wars, the enemy always had a fixed target of destruction, and then a steady stream of mass-produced ships or high-level Siren agents appeared. The ship girls would then carry out strategic or tactical division and annihilation, and after half a month of patrol and reconnaissance, a defensive battle would end.

The battlefield situation this time is completely different. The number of Siren mass-produced ships is generally large, but the attacks are scattered and disorganized. Ship girls including Hood and Zhenhai now believe that the Siren are conducting fire reconnaissance. The scattered attacks are to divert attention. It is very likely that there is a full-scale attack hidden in the truth and falsehood, so reconnaissance and patrolling must be done well, and the rotation mechanism and reserve forces must ensure that there is sufficient combat power at all times.

On the second day, a small group of Sirens appeared in the northwest waters of the Azores. It was a good opportunity to train through fighting and adapt to the mind magic network. Liu Cheng decisively commanded the Northern Alliance Ship Girls to fight. Compared with the trust of the Royal Alliance Ship Girls in Liu Cheng, more running-in is needed between him and the Northern Alliance Ship Girls.

"What a powerful force." Soviet Belarus let the sea breeze blow his lake blue hair. The sun shone on the towering whiteness in front of his chest, emitting a touching glow. The leader of the Northern Alliance waved his hand with high spirits, "Very good! Then let's work together in my way to clear all obstacles in front of the fleet!"

At this time, Liu Cheng's voice appeared in the minds of everyone in the Northern Alliance Fleet: "I have no intention of interfering with your combat style, but what is more important in this operation is the running-in between our allies. After adapting to this combat method, our combat effectiveness can be further improved."

"Haha, of course, I still trust you, comrade." Soviet Belarus said cheerfully, "But comrade, I can make a bet with you. If you leave everything to me, you can just wait to hear the good news."

Gangut: "Hahahaha! Well done, comrade! Let us unite and fight to protect this blue route! Do our best, until we die!"

Kirov: "I will not let my comrades down. Fight for the revolution and victory!"

The two men shouted slogans such as "Revolution" and "Ura" and rushed into the range of the Siren mass-produced ship like vicious tigers, as if they were gods descending to earth.

Liu Cheng wanted to say, it's fine for the cruiser to charge forward, but why didn't you, Gangut, a battleship, fire from behind? Then Liu Cheng found that Soviet Bellaros and Soviet Rossiya also rushed forward. Is this the unique political commissar charge of the Northern Alliance?

Tarin: "Don't talk, just watch me perform."

Kursk: "I'm a lone wolf, so don't force me to work as a team."

Volga: "Comrade, I will follow your command. Don't look at me like this. I am also famous for being reliable on the battlefield... See, I didn't fly the wrong carrier-based aircraft."

Tashkent: "Comrade, don't talk to me too much. Tashkent will fight."

Soviet Rossiya: "Comrade, your command is too conservative. Battleships are not only for bombardment, but their heavy armor also allows me to charge forward!"

Liu Cheng: "Actually, I want to say that from Kirov's perspective, you dropped the terminal headset into the sea when you took off your hat."

Soviet Russia: "... It was just a small oversight. It was a necessary sacrifice for the greater good. Yes, that's right."

Liu Cheng: “…”

……

In the joint operations headquarters at the front, Liu Cheng just stretched out his hand and felt a pair of delicate hands rubbing his temple. Chapayev whispered in his ear: "Commander, you have worked hard. Everyone in the Northern Alliance has a strong personality."

Liu Cheng sighed and said helplessly, "They both have strong personalities indeed. It seems that it will take some time for them to get used to each other."

Chapter 15: Avoid Path Dependence

Liu Cheng had no intention of interfering in the specific combat methods on the front line. It was not advisable for the commander to perform micro-management on the battlefield. Battleships, aircraft carriers, light and heavy cruisers, and destroyers had different combat styles and combat missions. They should not be commanded by the supreme commander alone. Instead, the combat missions should be split up and the combat objectives should be clarified before handing over to the front-line commanders to exercise their subjective initiative.

The ship girls who can become fleet leaders are trustworthy in their command abilities.

However, the current operations are not only for running-in, but also to lay a solid foundation for future joint operations. In small-scale encounters, Liu Cheng is only responsible for strengthening and handing over autonomy to the front line. In large-scale, multi-regional operations, we must start from the overall perspective and rationally deploy combat effectiveness to achieve strategic goals.

The greatest significance of Liu Cheng's mind magic network is not even to directly strengthen the power of the ship girls, but to integrate the entire fleet into a whole.

During the Pacific War, Liu Cheng had already tried to include Zhenhai, Shentong and other ship girls into the mind magic network. These staff members who were proficient in military strategy under Liu Cheng could have an overview of the entire battlefield from the overall situation and details. In addition, Azur Lane

The addition of the command intelligence system can make battlefield information completely transparent, greatly improving command efficiency. Especially in large fleet joint operations, excellent coordination means complete crushing.

In fact, in the following cooperation with the Royal Ship Girls, everyone quickly got along well. Zhenhai, Gascoigne and Pola analyzed the battlefield information and fed it back to Liu Cheng, who made the decision and took command. Facing several aircraft carrier battle groups and gunboat fleets of the enemy Sirens, the battle was completed in just 20 minutes. If it had not been for the adjustment and adaptation in the first ten minutes, it would have been even faster.

Of course, this result does not mean that the Northern Alliance ship girls do not obey orders. After all, most of the royal ship girls have unreserved trust in Liu Cheng. The royal leaders Queen Elizabeth, Hood and the Duke of York have also handed over full command responsibilities to Liu Cheng, so they naturally cooperate with each other without any grudges.

The Northern Alliance has a certain degree of trust in Liu Cheng, but after all, they are not comrades-in-arms who spend every day together. What's more, in addition to supporting the two major battlefields, the Northern Alliance has been fighting alone in the Arctic Ocean and eliminating the remaining enemies for a long time. It has long developed an independent and indomitable fighting style, which cannot be changed immediately in a short period of time.

There is no end in sight to this war, and we will all be living and fighting together in the next few months, so there is hope.
