The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

However, Glasgow obviously still does not understand a more difficult truth.

Lin Shen patiently replied, "The privileges 'given' by Akamori Yuaki are certainly useful, but if I always use other things given to me to do things, then the people I come into contact with will always see Akamori Yuaki as the one I am looking at. This is just like when I refused Akamori Yuaki's direct exchange of those promises before. I need to 'take' those things myself. In this way, those guys will be afraid of me, not Akamori Yuaki behind me."

"...In this case, wouldn't it be more convenient to keep this witness?" Glasgow asked again.

Lin Shen smiled and said, "That's because you want to 'peacefully' resolve the conflict between me and those potential enemies, but I don't need 'peace'. Rather than taking a step back peacefully, I'm more used to putting a knife on their necks."

"So that's how it is." Glasgow finally understood.

Those guys took the initiative to use underhanded tactics, which gave Lin Shen a reason to fight back with insidious tactics.

Playing dirty, huh? That's just what I want.

"Those who have been in their positions for a long time may choose to give in and protect themselves because they have lost the battle for interests, and they will become obedient. But the result is far less obedient than the people I personally promoted."

Lin Shen folded his hands across his chest and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside.

"After all, those guys are the team left behind by Akamori Yuaki. This old fox will not give up his power easily. If I were to be a little softer, he would be able to get his capital back."

Although [Sakura]'s privilege is very comfortable, it is just a word from Akamori Yuaki.

Just as he said he could commit to maintaining the so-called autonomous regions.

In fact, it doesn’t have much value.

"What others give you with just one word, they can also take back with just one word. Never let yourself become so passive. You must clearly know which things truly belong to you and which things are actually charity from others. This is true for us, and it is also true for the 'mutants'."

"..."

Lin Shen's words made the people in the carriage look thoughtful.

But not many people can fully understand or truly grasp its meaning.

Whether it is Glasgow, Tirpitz, or Jiang Feng, they all need more experience and practice to test whether their cognition is true. Only by testing it with your own hands can you understand how necessary some things are.

Before that, for them, it was basically just "because the commander said so, so it's probably like that."

The difference is still huge.

……

After the second attack, the convoy did not encounter a third ambush.

It was not until almost noon the next day that Lin Shen finally arrived at the safe zone of Sakura Castle.

【Sakura】's headquarters.

In fact, it is the place where he rests in the safe zone.

When I come back later, I will have a place to stay.

But according to Lin Shen’s subsequent arrangements, he should be in the war zone most of the time.

I'm afraid I'll come back very rarely.

After arriving at the place, Lydia left alone.

She needs to sort out the organization's layout here, which may take quite some time.

Lin Shen brought the ship girl directly to the gate of [Sakura].

I saw Akamori Sakura waiting here.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Commander Lin."

Sakura Akamori saluted with a very standard military gesture.

She noticed that the corners of the clothes of the ship girls behind Lin Shen seemed to be stained with blood.

There was also a lingering smell of the ship's equipment firing.

"You're welcome. Just call me by my name. Our relationship as superior and subordinate is not that clear."

Lin Shen raised his hand and said.

Then he changed the subject.

"It seems that many people here in Sakura Castle don't welcome me very much."

"I'll investigate."

Akamori Sakura said immediately.

"No need."

Lin Shen spoke.

"Follow the normal process and tell the people who should be told that I'm here. Then, get me a list of the military positions from W1 to W7. From senior commanders to privates, don't leave any one out."

"Yes."

Although they say there is no clear relationship between superiors and subordinates.

But Lin Shen still commanded people very naturally.

No familiarization time is required.

After he arrived at [Yakura], he began to receive a lot of condolences from all sides that day.

Some people also visit directly in person.

[Yakura] This organization is too special, they have no choice but to come over and show their goodwill.

At least the surface of friendship should be maintained.

As for the two attacks on Lin Shen, Lin Shen did not mention it, as if it had never happened.

Just two days before arriving at Sakura Castle, Lin Shen settled the ship girl and then did not take any other action.

I just stayed at home, organizing the information I had collected from various sources.

There were a total of seven war zones, six of which gave positive responses to Sakura Akamori, sorted out all the personnel arrangements, and then sent them to Sakura Akamori.

But one war zone rejected the application.

"District W1 said that the information is confidential and [Ying] has no right to ask about it."

Sakura Akamori gave a brief report in Lin Shen's office.

"They said they needed the Marshal's permission."

"What about the marshal?"

“No response yet.”

Lin Shen smiled.

Not temporarily, and I guess there won’t be any response later.

"How to deal with it?"

Akamori Sakura asked.

“No need to deal with it.”

"……Yes."

Akamori Sakura couldn't understand Lin Shen's decision.

This is a very obvious temptation.

If we just leave it like this, it won't be long before Lin Shen's words become less and less effective.

[Sakura] does have considerable privileges.

But this privilege also has its own conditions.

Although it is tall, it is also narrow.

The areas involved are not that spacious.

Therefore, in many cases, the counterparty has the right to reject the application.

The reason he agreed was simply because he didn't want Lin Shen to cause trouble for him within his narrow privileges.

If Lin Shen took a step back.

The signal will be sent out soon.

Akamori Sakura didn't even need to imagine to guess what would happen next.

Unfortunately, she is just a helper.

He has no right to interfere with Lin Shen's decision.

Of course, I don't want to interfere.

She also wanted to see——

How different from ordinary people could this young man, who was highly respected by his own father, be?

After the simple information application was rejected, Lin Shen calmly asked Akamori Sakura to submit a large number of miscellaneous intelligence applications.

It was as if he wanted to understand the entire military.

The required information covers all aspects.

Personnel deployment, action records, and even funding flows...

It's offensive every time anyway.

In the first few times, many war zones responded cautiously.

However, the number of rejection responses has gradually increased since the W1 zone.

After discovering that Lin Shen had taken almost no other action except for this trivial investigation application.

The number of rejections started to skyrocket.

The cautious attitude began to turn into contempt.

A certain senior official said with great disdain: "From now on, any application related to [Sakura] will be rejected. We only listen to the Marshal. What is [Sakura]?"

There are more and more people holding similar attitudes.

It was not until about the tenth day after Lin Shen arrived at Yingbao that he finally stopped this action after all the investigation-related orders he issued were rejected, ten out of ten.

And Akamori Sakura's attitude also changed from a little bit of anticipation at the beginning to speechlessness.

For ten days, she watched Lin Shen do nothing and just sit in the office issuing application orders.

Although it covers a very comprehensive range of aspects, it has no effect at all.

Instead, your voice becomes lower and lower, until it is gone.

Originally, others were very afraid of him, worried that he would use his privileges to threaten them.

Now, Lin Shen has lowered himself.

It was as if he was telling the higher-ups that there was no need to worry about him, that he was just an idiot who posed no major threat.

……

March is already halfway through.

Super rare ship girls were also built.

It was also made public.

However, more information about the final deconstruction is still not disclosed to the public.

I don't know exactly what step it has reached.

On the Sakura Castle battlefield, Akamori Yuaki no longer cares about it.

So all seven war zones were finally shut down in mid-March.

No more hostilities.

The military was also happy to have peace.

For them, everything is going well except for the arrival of a clown who seems to be able to fight.

After Akamori Yuaki gave up his power, they have been living too comfortably.

And it's getting more and more comfortable.

It's only been half a month.
