The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Page 477

This time the conditions were better, so they stayed there for two days.

By the way, the status of the ship equipment was also repaired.

That thing has a self-repair mechanism.

It's just slow.

It will be faster if you soak it in repair solution.

The fastest way is to send it directly to the maintenance department.

But that condition is not there now.

The military did not provide Lin Shen with any assistance at all.

Even basic support was completely closed to him.

Not a single soldier was sent out, and no logistical support was provided.

All of this is known to the temporary combat soldiers of [Sakura] who are here.

Akamori Sakura did not hide anything from them - of course, it was also because of Lin Shen's instructions.

After settling Glasgow and the others, Lin Shen asked Akamori Sakura to gather all 47 people together for the first combat meeting.

Yes, the first time.

There was no large-scale combat operation, and a combat meeting was not held until more than a month later.

But this time is a big exception.

In fact, strictly speaking, there are no combat meetings for ordinary soldiers.

They just need to listen to the combat orders.

No decision-making power.

But this time there were too few people.

“Perhaps you are wondering why I asked you to come to the meeting.”

Seeing the neat team in front of him, Lin Shen spoke slowly.

"This meeting is actually a combat meeting, but strictly speaking it is not. In this operation, you don't have a higher-level superior and are temporarily dispatched by [Sakura]. In other words, I am the only superior. Combat meetings are held by at least lower-level commanders, and generally only by second-level commanders. Obviously, none of you have reached this rank, but I can't find another person to hold any combat meetings, so I can only call you all over to make do."

They didn't know why Lin Shen wanted to explain this kind of thing, but no one spoke and just listened quietly.

The entire open space was silent, with only Lin Shen's voice being heard.

He casually and unhurriedly revealed the current situation.

"That's right. There is only one commander-in-chief for this operation, with a total of 47 people under his command. There is no other support, equipment, clone replenishment, reserve forces, etc. It is normal for the military to do this. Because this operation was originally my arbitrary decision, so I have no complaints. Just like you, the reason why you are standing here, no matter what the reason is, this result is also your own "arbitrary decision". Because of this, after you go back this time, to be honest, you will definitely be in big trouble. Are you afraid?"

After a brief silence, more than forty people shouted loudly together.

"Don't be afraid!!"

There was obvious anger in the roar.

He definitely doesn't think he did anything wrong.

The military is at fault.

To be more specific, it's that group of bastards sitting in the office and talking about theory without doing anything.

Originally they were just dissatisfied with the military, but after more than a month or nearly two months, they were completely disappointed with the military.

The series of rejections of normal support applications are glaring no matter how you look at them.

——Those were all applied for by Akamori Sakura according to the normal procedures.

Basically, as long as it is a confirmed combat operation, this process will be followed.

We still need to have the support we deserve, right?

But unfortunately, this time even the most basic ones are not available.

This is the first time such an example has occurred.

Lin Shen did not make any special request for support.

Normal supplies were cut off.

He needs to pay for it himself.

Otherwise there is nothing.

It almost blocked their way back.

The military's actions gradually turned their dissatisfaction into annoyance.

Lin Shen was very satisfied with their reaction, nodded and continued speaking.

"You are not afraid, because you are all thorns and outliers. People will only get close to people with whom they have a high affinity, just like outliers will only get close to outliers. For example, I am also a huge outlier. Everyone rejected my transfer order, and only you, who are also outliers, accepted the transfer order. Outliers will only stay with outliers, and will only do things that only outliers will do. The military, you all know that all four bases of W7 were lost, and the Vulcan cannon became the enemy's spear, but they have no intention of taking it back."

"Do you know why?"

Lin Shen looked at the square formation in front of him, and this time no one responded to him.

they do not know.

In other words, there is no clear answer.

"Not long after Marshal Akamori Yuaki left here, the military adopted a conservative defensive strategy across the board. They didn't dare to continue with the Marshal's battle plan because they all knew that they didn't have the ability to take back the four lost strongholds. So they didn't plan to take them back and just give them to the Siren. Anyway, they didn't plan to leave later."

Lin Shen paused, giving everyone some time to think, and then continued.

"They are all conservatives. Obviously, we are not. This is the fundamental difference between us and them. Why did I launch such an operation? The goal is clear. We need to recapture the four lost strongholds. However, except for me, you, and the 48 aliens in total, no one is willing to go to this place again. There is only a distance of more than kilometers between us and the main force of the Siren. We may face a catastrophic disaster at any time-"

"Few people are willing to take this kind of risk. Even the bravest people will think carefully when it comes to their lives. I'm not saying that their considerations are inappropriate. After all, the orders from their superiors are also very important, and no one wants to do something abnormal. They all want to stay here well, preferably until they retire. It's normal to have such thoughts, so we seem so heretical."

"That's why the military cut off all our normal supplies. I could only find supply points left by my predecessors in the wilderness to resupply myself with difficulty. Therefore, the military blocked the news from the front line of Area W7. Until now, the safe zone in Sakura Castle doesn't know what we are doing here. They seem to want to strangle us to death and make us, the aliens, disappear here quietly. It would be best if we never go back."

After Lin Shen finished speaking, the air was filled with a deadly solemn atmosphere.

Everyone's mood was extremely complicated, but at the same time, that complexity was mixed with some inherent anger and some arrogance that seemed to come from deep in their hearts.

Even Akamori Sakura, who was listening in, was confused and slightly distracted.

I just feel that it seems to be true, but something seems to be wrong.

Lin Shen walked around the square, letting the air calm down for a while. After he returned to the starting point, he spoke again in a more fluctuating tone.

"Among a bunch of cowards, the only brave man is a heretic who should be strangled!"

"...!!"

"Not everyone dares to face the Siren's front! The first A-level commander was born in White Eagle! They were the first to blow the horn of counterattack! But now, they are the first to preach 'peace'! Everyone stays in the cage constructed by the Siren, praying that today's peace and stability can continue! They didn't look up and didn't realize that they were just a dog locked in a cage waiting to be slaughtered!"

Lin Shen's tone gradually became more intense, creating an inexplicable atmosphere that made the listeners' emotions fluctuate.

"Only Akamori Yuaki is willing to be the sober person, open his eyes, and look at the real enemy sharpening his knife outside the cage! He understands that the war has never gone away, and he knows that the peace in front of him is just a dream bubble that will be shattered at the touch of a button! The Sakura Empire values martial arts, and it joined forces with the Eastern Emperor to resist the most fierce attack of the Sirens on the Asian continent, so it can stand firm here! The Sakura Empire values martial arts, so he knows that true peace can only be won with stronger force! And it absolutely cannot rely on the charity of the enemy! But - such a Akamori Yuaki, in this era, is an accused alien!"

“……!?!”

"They hid in the peace created by Akamori Yuaki and enjoyed themselves peacefully. In such a short time after Akamori Yuaki left, they immediately gave up the direction he insisted on. Not only that, they also wanted to strangle us, a group of similar heretics, in the cradle! When everyone else was sleeping soundly, the one who was still awake became the only heretic! So we had no support, no supplies, and even no teammates -! So, I gave up the dispute with the military at the beginning! Because I know that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep! You can only catch him, slap him hard, and tell him that I'm awake!"

"I will do what you don't want to do! I will do what you can't do! If you don't want to be the foolish hero holding the fire, I will be! Cowards always think that everyone is a coward like them, but how can a lion be bound by a flock of sheep?! We only have 48 people! We also have 48 people! Even if there is no supplies, no support, and no way to retreat, we can still bring back the victory that they can't take away!"

"They thought that if they blocked the news, no one would know what happened here? They are totally wrong! When we take back the four strongholds, all the lights will come down!"

"We are outliers. We should do things that mediocre people would never do, or even dare to try! They may think we are dreaming, but if they don't even dare to dream - what else can they do besides holding their heads and pretending to sleep?!"

"We will bring victory back eventually!"

When Lin Shen finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but start to applaud. The applause was thunderous. They couldn't help but take deep breaths, feeling as if their chests were suddenly filled with lofty ambitions, and they wanted to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood immediately.

The question of whether they could do it or not was now completely erased from their minds.

It doesn't matter whether we can do it or not, what matters is that we do it! Just like the legend, Akamori Yuaki! We are also doing similar, great things, and we are right. Those bastards in the military are simply unworthy of their positions!

——For a moment, similar thoughts clearly appeared in the minds of these 47 people.

After the applause continued for a long time and then slowly died down, Lin Shen spoke again in a full-bodied voice.

"Next, I will divide the next combat mission for you in detail. The time now is the beginning of May. In the middle of this month, we will capture four strongholds that are almost impossible to capture and return with victory!"

"No one can stop this. Not even the Siren!"

41. Operation Blitz

After Lin Shen's impassioned speech, the effect was obvious. The already high emotions were completely aroused, but this was not the most critical core factor. Akamori Sakura watched the whole process, and she always felt that something was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange. Is this a pre-war mobilization? It's just a very common thing, but it doesn't seem like it.

If you can't see the original appearance of things from a virtual place, then you have to start from the actual effect. Akamori Sakura still remembered what she had learned before, so she pulled her own perspective out of it, and then, what did she see?

She saw that Lin Shen suddenly had 47 more people willing to die for him.

These 47 people were originally just troublemakers, or just ordinary soldiers.

But not anymore.

After Lin Shen adjourned the meeting, everyone's expression was still full of excitement.

Even with a clear sense of responsibility and mission.

Akamori Sakura was sure that even if Lin Shen asked them to fight a one-way battle now, they would go without hesitation.

But is this the end?

Akamori Sakura wasn't sure.

While she was handling the tasks assigned by Lin Shen, she continued to think about this matter. She always felt that there were still things she didn't understand. In addition, there was the source of Lin Shen's funds - where did he get so much money to get so many basic supplies under the premise that the military had blocked basic supplies from her side?

Akamori Sakura wanted to check it out, but there was nothing to find.

And doing so was obviously going too far - so she didn't take any action.

After returning to the base here, Lin Shen rested for five days.

During these five days, he put some energy into the Golden Holy Wings. Two more rounds of cleansing were carried out within the organization. Because of his request, the intensity of these two rounds was very strong. It can be said that even the crystals were wiped out because of his words "It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go."

However, precisely because of the great force, all those who remained were assigned more authority.

They are all the core of the core, no matter their ability, qualifications, loyalty, all have gone through several rounds of tests. When the other Golden Wing controlled the Sakura Castle area, they were just unknown in the organization.

He has never even entered the core power circle.

But this time, after the boss at the top was replaced, the tide receded.

These people who were unknown in the deep water began to take advantage of the situation and show their amazing talents.

They have extremely high qualities - they can even avoid leaving any trace of evidence when everyone else is trying to fish in troubled waters.

Anyone who is in power wants to have a little more money in his pocket.

This is human nature.

As long as you reach out, you will inevitably have too much contact with people you shouldn't have contact with.

Your body will not be clean.

Will be brushed off.

Under Lin Shen's intensified cleansing.

But just one or two percent of them were left behind.

——This is terrible.
