The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"Pay attention to your identity, private!" the man said with disdain, "How dare you tell such a shameful lie! Can you please use your brains when you lie? With all the things you have done, you even destroyed the Vulcan cannon! You were able to get close to the A1 base without being blown to ashes, so I consider you extraordinary!"

"This--!" Someone wanted to refute, but suddenly realized that he couldn't refute it at all.

Indeed, none of them saw Lin Shen’s final combat operations with their own eyes.

How can one be really sure?

However, due to their trust in Lin Shen and his previous combat record, the leader said directly: "Our commander has the ability! Even tens of thousands of Sirens can be annihilated. Of course, we can attack the fortress and complete the combat mission! There is no need to question it at all!"

"Oh, ridiculous! Whether or not we need to question it is not something that can be determined by just one sentence from you!" The man wearing the lower-level command armband sneered and said, "If he can bring a few ship girls into the fortress and destroy the Vulcan cannon, I will eat a Siren on the spot today!"

"You...!" Someone was really annoyed with the bastard's face and wanted to walk over and slap him, but was stopped by the people around him.

They were in the middle of a great time, and their morale was at its highest. How could they tolerate such doubts?

What's more, this is not even a question, it's a pure insult!

Thinking of the military's previous reaction, the various restrictions, and the sarcasm, everyone's dissatisfaction was ignited.

If they hadn't had some military discipline in their eyes, they would have raised their fists long ago.

Even a clay man would get angry, let alone a soldier who had just fought in the battlefield and then ran back.

They are not afraid of death, so why would they be afraid of people?

"Why, you want to fight? Do you still have any respect for military rules?" The man snorted and said, "I'm telling you, don't think that [Ying] is not subject to the military's jurisdiction just because she has special privileges. Even [Ying] has to abide by the military's rules. This is set by the marshal! No one is allowed to disobey!"

"Well said." Akamori Sakura came over from behind, looked at the bossy man, and said, "Aren't the tens of thousands of Siren troops that disappeared enough to be irrefutable evidence? Or do we need to go to the battlefield over there and see how many Siren corpses are piled up there?"

"Second Commander Akamori, the military needs to organize a thorough investigation into what you said." The man's expression immediately slowed down, but he still had an expression of bullying. "As for the results of the investigation, please wait for notification from above. In addition, there is a difference between military merits. Let's put it one thing at a time. Second Commander Akamori should have no objection to [Sakura] lying about his military merits, right?"

"Yes." Akamori Sakura said calmly, "We will submit additional evidence after 15 days, so please don't be so hasty to pin such a heavy crime on Sakura. After all, the operation of 'Blitzkrieg' has not yet been completed, it's just that the progress of the mission has changed. The military doesn't need to be so hasty to hold us accountable."

"..." The man's expression changed slightly. Indeed, it was just a change in the progress of the mission. The so-called "military merit" had not been fulfilled after all. It was just an update record of the progress of the mission as usual. "Even so, every piece of information transmitted in the army should be accurate. I think [Ying] is still suspected of lying about military merit..."

The man had no way to make a direct judgment, and what Akamori Sakura said was also a rule. He could only add, "Please submit strong evidence after the 15th, and do not change the progress of the mission at will. Otherwise, even Sakura will be punished for lying about military merits."

"Of course, that's the rule." Akamori Sakura responded without changing her expression.

"Let's go." The man didn't say anything else, but just left with the two people behind him.

"Sir, are we just going to let this go?" After the man who came to investigate left, someone immediately asked, "We didn't lie at all! The commander's military exploits are real! For a team that is capable of killing tens of thousands of Sirens, it is definitely not impossible for them to attack the fortress!"

"Otherwise, what else do you want to do?" Akamori Sakura glanced at them and said, "The other party is also following the rules, there is indeed no problem in this regard."

"Can……"

"Okay, let's leave it at that. As long as the military continues to abide by the rules, our achievements in taking over the A1 base will be rewarded - this is Sakura's achievement, and yours as well. If the operations go smoothly, it is not impossible for all of you to be promoted three or even four levels."

"Really?!" When this was said, everyone immediately put aside their previous unhappiness.

Military rank is military rank, and treatment is treatment...these two are calculated separately.

In fact, the purpose of joining the army is to enjoy super high benefits that cannot be obtained by doing other things.

Otherwise, who would come here to risk their life and suffer the punishment of the boss?

"Of course. So, do your own thing." Akamori Sakura paused and threw out what Lin Shen asked her to say deliberately, "As long as the military still abides by the rules, these are all certain. It's your military merit, you can't get away with it. It's all the credit you earned with your hard work, and no one will get less than anyone else."

"Thank you, Commander Akamori!" a private soldier shouted excitedly.

After working here for so long, I finally have the opportunity to get a raise.

Forget about the military position. As long as the salary goes up, even if I am still a private, I still have to take risks at the front, so it can be considered a return on investment.

"This is the result of your own efforts. Okay, let's all go." Akamori Sakura waved her hand, "Before the next operation, everyone must ensure that they are in good condition. Do you understand?"

"clear!!"

……

The brief disturbance was thus calmed down.

Because the nature of the case was questionable, the military suppressed the situation on Lin Shen's side as usual.

Apart from the people from [Yakura], most people have no idea what happened in area W7.

It’s just that for those who know it, the effect it produces is greater than for ordinary people.

Those who are more informed know that a ruthless person has appeared on the w7 side.

The military is suppressing it on many fronts.

But it couldn't be suppressed.

The huge amount of resources they invested were not misplaced.

And - within the next 15 days, you will see the results.

In addition, after the status of the mission code-named "Operation Blitz" undertaken by [Sakura] is updated, people in the military can also see it directly.

Although we were told that the authenticity was questionable and that everyone was told to shut up.

But there is still a small number of people who have closed their mouths but not their hearts.

They are not stupid.

In other words, the reaction of decision-makers has indirectly shown that the news is true.

There is no need to confirm it again and again.

There have indeed been unprecedented changes at the A1 base.

And the more you think about this drastic change, the more chilling it makes your spine.

They can all see [Sakura]'s public information.

The core is just one person——

Alone!

One person can do this?!

I used to think it was an exaggeration.

Even though Lin Shen had fought in the wilderness battlefield of w7 for such a long time, some people still felt that it was somewhat exaggerated.

but now……

There is at least 40% truth in this exaggeration.

Even just 10% more is enough to arouse people's imagination.

Now it is directly photographed on the face, and a deadline of 15 days is clearly set.

This did not allow some people's minds to quickly become active.

Without war, without fighting, there is no path to rise.

Without the opportunity to gain significant credit, there is no way to improve your salary.

At least a small number of people are very dissatisfied with this increasingly stagnant situation.

They want to move.

The appearance of Lin Shen gave them 40% hope.

The military headquarters remained calm, and Sakura Castle was also calm.

After the Golden Holy Wings stopped their trouble, nothing else happened in the entire Sakura Castle.

A peaceful place.

People in the safe zone were also blocked from news from the war zone, so they felt that the war zone was also peaceful.

There is an illusion of a brief, peaceful time.

The attention of ordinary people has been diverted elsewhere.

For example, the mutant uprising.

This kind of calmness also made Kawahara Katsu, who was sitting at the top, feel much calmer.

Lin Shen is a huge anomaly.

But now, he has one hand hard and the other soft, and he holds all the power.

So I wasn't worried at all about what Lin Shen might do.

As long as Akamori Yuaki still doesn't interfere in the affairs of Sakura Castle.

As long as the Kawahara family is given more time to develop freely, more power can be further consolidated into their own hands.

By then, let alone a mere outlier in the forest.

Even if there were ten of them, Kawahara Katsu wouldn't take them seriously.

He looked at the paper report in front of him with a cold gaze.

Lin Shen’s relevant information was indeed locked.

But he still got some of it.

There is a very fatal point in Lin Shen.

He uses mutants!

And the mutants, at this moment, have almost become the enemy of the entire Sakura Empire!

Lin Shen uses mutants to fight, and this is his biggest weakness!

As long as he continues to use the mutants, according to the current trend, Kawahara Katsu doesn't need to do anything to completely cut off Lin Shen's possibility of reaching out from the public opinion level.

You can even use this to attack him.

Although he was thrown by Akamori Yuaki, this is now a hard flaw——

Even if it was Yuaki Akamori, he wouldn't get himself stained with disgrace for something like this, right?

The smile on Kawahara Katsu's face became more and more obvious.

He felt that he was gradually gaining control of everything.

Akamori Yuaki is just throwing a nail at us.

This is throwing a weakness over here.

How dare he give such special powers to someone who colluded with mutants.

If this matter were to be exposed, I would probably be criticized and end up with a disgraced reputation.

"Hmph...you'd better not cause any trouble for me." Kawahara Katsu pointed at the paper documents on the table with his fingertips and muttered in a low voice.

50. The bottom line of the fleet

After the core deterrent weapon in the A1 stronghold was destroyed, there was no need for the Siren to stay there any longer. Under the continuous observation of Lin Shen's people, the Siren was slowly withdrawing its troops from the A1 stronghold.

Following this trend, it is only a matter of time before all the stationed troops leave there.

That thing is purely human technology, and it may not be easy for the Siren to repair it. After confirming that they would indeed evacuate after losing this key weapon, Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, his subsequent actions will become smoother.

Even if we can truly recapture the four lost fortress strongholds, it is no longer impossible. This kind of icing on the cake is of course good to have, but it doesn't matter if we don't have it.

This news is one of the few good news Lin Shen has received in the past few days.

With this support, subsequent plans can continue to be implemented.

Ever since the battle at the A1 stronghold, he had unnecessary hesitations in his heart.

This kind of positive news could at least offset some of the hesitation and indecision in Lin Shen's heart.

"Do we still need to continue the subsequent operations?"

When Lin Shen was resting, Nagato found him and for the first time took the initiative to ask questions related to the operation.

"Of course we have to continue." Lin Shen replied.

Even though he frowned and was hesitant, he could only think of this one answer.

“It’s obviously such a high risk?”

"Ah."

"Can't we try another method?"
