The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

"According to Newcastle's instructions, the owner needs someone to take care of his daily life."

Sheffield quickly placed the tea set on the empty table and replied.

"Newcastle's instructions? I didn't ask her to..."

"It seems that the master has forgotten what we do. Is the master's memory not very good?"

Sheffield spoke in a calm tone, words that were not out of concern.

...feeling weird?

"Ah, a maid?"

But Lin Shen understood what she meant.

Maid.

Indeed, the main job is to take care of the master's daily life.

Keep housekeeping in check and stuff like that.

but……

"Newcastle actually thought of this? How thoughtful."

Lin Shen sighed casually.

Suddenly I feel a little flattered - what?

"…Because I reminded her."

Sheffield placed the poured black tea next to Lin Shen's hand and continued speaking in a calm tone.

"Newcastle's memory is not good, otherwise she wouldn't have the habit of keeping a diary. She is very forgetful."

"...How can a ship girl be so forgetful?"

“She’s very forgetful.”

"Can--"

“She’s very forgetful.”

"...Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sheffield."

“It’s really hard to take care of someone who doesn’t want to be taken care of.”

"..."

The edge of the teacup suddenly paused when it touched his lips. Lin Shen glanced at Sheffield's exquisite face, which was as perfect as a doll made by God himself, but had no expression.

"I acknowledge your aggressiveness, Sheffield. Huh..."

Today is another peaceful day spent safely in the rear area.

150. Busy second half of the year (1)

In the end, Lin Shen still did not let Tiancheng take the girls who were incorporated into [Red Curtain] out to continue training.

The reason is very simple.

Because Glasgow can't be transferred back at the moment...

Until the members of the [Blue Armed Forces] successfully take over all their affairs, Glasgow and the others cannot return and can only stay on standby at their current positions.

Even - as their mission progressed, McCall was sent by Lin Shen to help.

But even so, there is still a serious shortage of staff there.

In the same month, Lin Shen sent the two teams of Nagato and Hinata, which had been idle in [Sakura], over to relieve some of the mission pressure for Glasgow and the others.

From mid-October to early November, the [Blue Armed Forces], with an average training level of 40 per person, began to gradually take over the burden from Glasgow and the others.

However, Glasgow and his team have been on the mission for such a long time, so it will still take some time to complete the handover of the mission.

Once everything is arranged, Glasgow and the others will be replaced and returned to [Sakura] one after another.

From early November to mid-November, the [Blue Armed Forces] were in the process of handing over and adapting their work.

During this period, Lin Shen led the Red Curtain army out for a training session at a fixed rhythm and cleared out all the sirens that appeared on the north side of Sakura Castle.

Afterwards, Lin Shen reported to the [Military Headquarters] and requested for the [Red Curtain] soldiers... no, he requested that they be rewarded according to the military's rules.

He worked on this matter from mid-October to early November - and only then did the military approve it.

There are relevant regulations in Sakura Castle.

As long as you clean up those scattered Siren troops for the [Military], you can get a fixed reward.

This was originally a policy to ease the external pressure on the military’s border defense.

It is also to provide some opportunities for those unconventional guys who do not engage in serious commander careers but instead want to be mercenaries to make money and relieve pressure.

At the same time, it is also for the personal gain of certain people inside Sakura Castle.

After all, the free armed organizations that would choose to wipe out those Sirens are basically large organizations.

Behind these large organizations, there were always high-ranking officials from Sakura Castle.

——However, after the five major armed groups of [Liuking] were completely annihilated.

There is no more.

Well, unfortunately, Lin Shen became the destroyer of all this order.

He personally destroyed the original political system of Sakura Castle.

Cut off some people's financial resources.

Offended a lot of people.

If it were someone else, he would have died many times already.

But not only did Lin Shen not die, he also replaced [Liuying] and began to turn the part that was taken away by certain people for their own personal gain into another part of his military expenditure.

In November, [the military] abolished that reward policy.

But even so, in October, after Lin Shen went out with 100,000 clones to sweep across the country, the Siren corpses he brought back still caused the [Military] to bleed heavily.

Lin Shen also took this opportunity to further expand his influence.

Part of the funds will be used to reward the soldiers, and part will be used to allow the [Golden Holy Wings] to operate and publicize every military achievement.

He has portrayed himself as a person with strength, ambition and courage.

If Lin Shen had not shut down the expansion of Red Curtain, the 10,000 soldiers under his command should have been able to grow further to 20,000 during this time.

Even more than that.

In Sakura Castle, there are quite a few "commanders" who are still idle.

Among them, a large proportion of them worked in the military for a few years, then retired and became unemployed.

They were not able to accumulate enough military merits during their service, so after retiring, they had almost no income.

He can only rely on the savings accumulated during his service to slowly find other ways to make a living.

——But a soldier’s livelihood is to fight.

The goal is to gain military merit on the battlefield and then turn it into profit.

But this path was blocked by the military.

Their policy is to maintain the status quo.

Rather than pioneering.

This goes against the interests of nearly 80% of retired commanders.

When Lin Shen first stepped forward and established the Red Curtain, these people were still hesitating.

But when they saw that everyone who joined the Red Curtain started drinking soup and no longer worried about their future - they had to admit that their eyes were turning green with jealousy.

After graduating from a serious military academy and living in a daze for a few years, they found that they seemed to be being eliminated by the times.

In this era, "peace" has become the main theme.

Sakura Castle is an isolated case, which means that these trained commanders still have a place to use their talents.

But after Akamori Yuaki left, all this changed.

After Lin Shen's arrival, this change began to be highlighted in the confrontation between [Sakura] and [the Military].

The more radical Lin Shen behaved and the more he sought war, the more the military's policy change became apparent.

One of his previous speeches is still preserved in some corner of CMA and is watched repeatedly by die-hard fans.

Then they show it off to those unemployed commanders - well, these die-hard fans are basically the first group of people to join [Red Curtain].

They didn't care what Lin Shen's composition was, what country he was from, or whether he used mutants. They seemed to be entangled with mutants.

They only knew that Lin Shen was a good fighter and could lead them to victory - that was enough.

This is n times more important than those unimportant things.

——I will follow whoever gives me a way to survive.

The comment received tens of thousands of likes in some hotly debated places.

Lin Shen also took the time to follow the discussions in the military-related section of CMA.

There is a serious polarization inside.

A small number of people with a say believe that Lin Shen is a troublemaker, a destroyer of order, an ambitious person who will bring misfortune, an "anti-human person" who is entangled with mutants, and a so-called traitor.

But most people oppose this statement. The reasons for their opposition are varied, but the reasons for their support are basically the same.

After walking around for a while, you will have a strong sense of déjà vu.

The person who stood at the top and reaped all the benefits of the profession of "Commander" was suppressing the group of hand painters below who did not get a drop of soup.

"Aren't the benefits we give to the commander good enough now?!"

"Why don't you introduce me to a job?"

"Aren't you going back to work in the factory?"

"Did I learn all this tactical knowledge just to work in a factory doing repetitive mechanized labor?! It will take me years to earn back the money my family put into sending me to the military academy!???"

"Young man, you must work hard. If you work hard, you can still earn it back, right? If you can't, just rent out your house! Isn't the rent for a house quite high now? Why don't you know how to do business?"

“I (beep——) &*(&*&……&*)!!!”

"You have no manners at all. You are graduates of the Commander Academy. After a few years of being here, you have lost all your manners?"

"I'm enthusiastic. You also know that the rent is ridiculously expensive?!"

"Doesn't the Commander have a subsidy policy? There are exemptions, right?"

"What the hell is that for?! Am I missing that little bit of reduction?!"

"Alas, people nowadays don't know how to make progress, and they even complain that the welfare provided by the country is not enough. How come my great Sakura Empire produced a bunch of useless people like you?"

"I (beep)(beep)(beep)!"

It can be seen that although they are still in their prime, the commanders who have retired from the front lines now have some complaints.

But judging from the current situation, this situation will not ease, but will only gradually worsen.

Because the commander can have a bad life.

But the Sakura Empire cannot be without a commander.

Therefore, military academies still recruit a large number of students every year.

The organization responsible for developing soul power in people is still constantly turning qualified ordinary people into commanders.

And charge a small fee.

In order to promote everyone's progress, the Commander Academy will basically waive tuition fees for those with B-level qualifications.

There are also some exemptions for Class C.

Overall, it looks pretty good.

It can be said that the profession of "Commander" still has very high value.
