The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

Even if it doesn't work, it is still extremely valuable information.

Even if it still doesn’t work—

At least we can know how strong the overall qualities of the ship girls under Lin Shen's command are, which allows them to be so unstoppable and invincible on the battlefield.

His success is certainly not replicable.

It’s just that other people don’t know, so they want to figure it out.

Lin Shen rejected all related applications.

He actually showed his knife now.

But he was not stupid enough to ask the craftsman to study how his knife was made.

People always have a natural awe of the unknown.

"Is this... okay?"

Akamori Sakura asked hesitantly as she watched the figure in military uniform leave the office.

"After all, it is a 'legitimate request' from the military, and we can't refuse it."

Lin Shen replied while looking at the file in his hand.

"In this case, the area around the Sakura headquarters will no longer be safe," Akamori Sakura said. "Given the military's style of doing things, they will definitely not just send ordinary guards here."

Maybe they will directly move out the elite troops.

"The military's elite guards pose no threat to me."

"I just hope they won't open fire on the office." Sakura Akamori said bluntly.

“Heh…” Lin Shen laughed, “I actually hope they will open fire on the office.”

"..."

"Be patient, Miss Akamori."

Lin Shen said calmly.

“The person who starts first is often the least confident one. You have to know that in all works, the one who starts first is always the one who fails in the end.”

“…That’s just a work of fiction.”

“In fact, many things in reality are like this.”

Akamori Sakura looked at Lin Shen's calm smile and wondered where he got such strong confidence from.

Even if you have ten extremely powerful ship girls protecting you, it is impossible to ensure your own safety.

There will always be times when people slack off.

It is impossible to be awake for 24 hours.

"Besides, we still have you."

Lin Shen changed the subject and said.

"Do they dare to hurt the marshal's daughter?"

"…My identity has not been made public, so whether it will have a deterrent effect remains to be seen."

"You don't really think that you completely concealed your identity and worked your way up to a secondary commander position in the army, do you? If you really think so, you are too naive."

"..."

If it was before, Akamori Sakura would have answered directly, of course.

But now she didn't dare to say that.

The military's face was a completely different side that she had never seen before.

This side is extremely dark.

"Of course, even with you here, we can't gamble like this."

Lin Shen said.

"In three days, we will leave the Sakura Fortress Safe Zone and settle down in W7. You go and make the arrangements. The Sirens at the A1 base have all been evacuated, and there should be some dilapidated facilities that can be used temporarily. Anyway, the members of the [Sakura] battle sequence should not mind the poor environment there too much."

"I understand." Akamori Sakura responded.

To Lin Shen, the Sakura Castle safe zone is no longer that safe.

In comparison, floating in the wilderness might even be much safer.

It’s just the environment over there…

Completely cut off from the supply line.

It will just be troublesome.

Moreover, it is completely out of the public's view.

Even if he disappeared suddenly, it can be said that he died at the hands of the Siren.

Even if Lin Shen wanders in the wilderness, there is still a high risk.

But these risks have become clear.

It is still much better than having to guard against hidden arrows now.

Three days of rest allowed the fleet to return to perfect condition.

Looks like nothing happened.

But Lin Shen still remembers how they looked when they first came back.

It can only be described as horrific.

The last time Lin Shen felt that direct impact was when—

The first time I saw the scrapped mutant.

Then, it was when I met Glasgow.

It should be a creature like an elf.

But it can only turn into that extremely miserable appearance.

Like a rusty, broken knife.

Like a doll thrown into a ditch.

Like a doll that was deliberately destroyed.

KanColle has the ability to sense pain.

Every time we are traumatized, it leaves an impact on our mind.

The deeper the impact, the greater the impact.

Not to mention the ship girl, if it were a human, he would have gone crazy long ago.

How could it support being repaired again and again to be in perfect condition?

The reason why machines are powerful is that they have no self and no perception, so they are efficient.

From this perspective, the name "mutant" is extremely appropriate.

On the fifth day after the fleet returned to the Sakura Castle safe zone, Lin Shen took them to another two-hour celebratory banquet.

Then he packed up all the supplies and left.

"A private mercenary group in the safe zone seems to have accepted an incredible mission."

Before Lin Shen set off, he received a message from Lydia.

"what?"

"It seems that they are planning to attack some important person—" Lydia paused and said, "The scale of their mobilization is about 500 clones, but their equipment and clone quality may be quite elite."

"Hmph... Got it."

"We didn't even get this kind of mission. I don't know if it's because they think our capabilities have declined, or because of the previous purge."

"Both. But most of the time, I doubt it."

"Want to express it?"

"no need."

If it were someone else, perhaps they would need to express their opinion.

After all, as an apparently free and easy mercenary organization, how can it survive without a financial backer?

But for Lin Shen, this is not necessary.

"But in this case..."

"The military and I will have to come to a showdown sooner or later. There's no need to do any more small things now. It's a waste of energy. If everything goes well, this little problem will be solved along the way."

"What if it doesn't go well?"

Lydia knew Lin Shen's ambition.

She also knew that Lin Shen now had that ability.

only--

The military appears to be a whole.

But in fact, the interests involved are very broad.

No matter how you deal with it, it will be troublesome if you still intend to take over.

The military seems to be headed by Kawahara Katsu, but in fact he represents the entire Kawahara clan and all related dependent forces.

They both prosper and lose.

To deal with the Kawahara family, it is impossible to bypass these birds and insects that are parasitic on the big tree of the Kawahara family.

But if you push them all together...

Lin Shen is now in a weak and helpless situation.

What should I do?

Is it possible...

Lydia needed to know Lin Shen's plan, so she had to make some preparations.

Now, no one knows the connection between Lin Shen and the Golden Holy Wings.

It’s best if no one knows about it afterwards.

"Not going well? It won't go badly."

Lin Shen watched the ship girls get into the transport vehicle one by one. He held his cell phone in one hand, opened the passenger door with the other, and climbed in.

"Kawahara Katsu wants to remove this thorn in his side, so let the regular army of the military go out in person. Otherwise, he will just toss and turn in bed every day, imagining whether the knife next to his head will fall, and live in fear and anxiety."

The closer a person is to his level, the more uneasy he will feel about things that are out of control.

Lin Shen pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Just wait and see. I don't need to do anything. He will reveal his flaws on his own. Those who can see the situation clearly and stand on the side early should have stood by now. The rest are all enemies. Kill ten of them. No one will be wronged."

Lydia was somewhat amazed at Lin Shen's courage. She asked, "Does Akamori Yuaki really trust you to do whatever you want in Sakura Castle?"

Lin Shen chuckled and said, "I remember telling you before that if the results of killing 10,000 people are greater than keeping these 10,000 alive, then he won't mind me killing those 10,000 people."

After a pause, Lin Shen whispered again, "That guy is a result-oriented person. As long as the result is profitable, the cost is no longer important. As long as I can achieve my expectations, he has won the bet. If he wins, then he has already made money. The interest I charge is just what I will ask for later."

"Is Akamori Yuaki a monster like you? How dare he bet on this? Isn't he afraid? What if he loses the bet?"

"If you lose...if you lose, you just come back to clean up the mess. If I don't have this ability, he has enough ability to restrain me. If I have the ability I have now, then he will never lose...do you understand?"

"..." Lydia stopped talking and just hung up the phone silently.

Every step seemed to fit perfectly in her eyes.

Not even a single gap.

If you miss any step, you will fall down and won’t be able to climb out.
