Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

Originally, he planned to ask the maid on the ship, but then he thought that since the other party claimed to be a ship girl from the Sakura Empire, Sheffield might not be very clear about it, so it would be better to ask the Sakura Empire or RX-03 for their opinions.

Save Sheffield from having to worry about himself.

"I've never heard of this name. Bai, can you describe what 'Shinano' looks like?" RX-03 asked with her beautiful eyes flashing slightly, thinking that there was something fishy about Shinano.

After thinking for a while, Xia Bai replied: "Well, she looks like a typical Sakura Fox ship girl, silver-gray, with a very good figure, and she looks like she hasn't woken up yet."

"The wording is similar to Nagato's, using words like 'my concubine' and 'you'..."

After hearing this, RX-03 was almost certain that there was something wrong with the Shinano who suddenly appeared in the dream space. Yes, the other party's appearance did match the real Shinano.

But there is one thing that the fake Shinano didn't notice, that is, the big gray fox himself would not call Xia Bai "you", but "you".

This was what Xia Bai told 03 before. Because he thought Shinano's speech was too enigmatic, he forced her to change her speaking habits. At that time, Xia Bai was quite proud of it and said that this was a glorious victory over the Riddler.

The fake Shinano should have inherited the real Shinano's memories and abilities, but for some reason he did not discover his own loophole.

...Will it be humility?

This should be it. Currently, only this guy is known to have the ability to devour and utilize. Only Qian Gong would be so obsessed with profit that he dares to enter the dream space even though he knows that Honglian is there.

Soon, he guessed the true identity of the fake Shinano, but then RX-03 was embarrassed again. Xia Bai might have guessed this situation and left a backup plan. So is now the time to tell him everything about Shinano? Is this the right time?

"Well, I'm not sure either. I've never heard of a Shinano in the Sakura Empire... By the way, Bai, didn't you say that Honglian gave you a hint?"

After thinking it over, 03 decided not to tell Xia Bai the truth now. She thought it was not a good time. Since Xia Bai had given her enough space to think, her feelings were correct.

Hearing this, Xia Bai's expression became very strange, and he said hesitantly: "I don't know if what Honglian said can be considered a hint."

Then he sang it out, imitating Honglian's poor accent.

"Loving you ~ like a heartbeat that is hard to touch...03Do you remember this song?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, 03's mouth twitched and he said calmly, "I didn't expect Honglian to have artistic talent. He is worthy of being the top mecha god."

"This should be a song for the novel. I don't know much about this. Maybe you can ask the ship girl of Donghuang."

To be honest, Xia Bai didn't have confidence that 03 could guess the clue. After all, Honglian's clue was too weird. Not to mention Chongwen's poor accent, his singing also sounded a bit tone-deaf.

So after getting the answer, he was not so disappointed. He just nodded to indicate that he would find time to ask the Donghuang Ship Girl.

The two of them then looked at Sangvishes's preliminary report while discussing the details of the Red Axis.

......

On the other side, Enterprise, who didn't understand why Xia Bai ran away, looked a little embarrassed after welcoming back the ship girls who had turned into a red axis after going out in a circle.

She had been trying to comfort Amagi with good intentions, but who would have thought that the split of Sakura Empire would turn into the split of Azur Lane, and she would end up eating the melon herself.

Of course, the companies don’t think this is a very serious matter. It is neither a big nor a small matter.

She could see the differences in appearance and spirit of each camp very clearly. She believed that she had tried her best to integrate Azur Lane, and it had nothing to do with her if they were still divided now.

Have a clear conscience.

However, the honest company could never have imagined that an invisible big pot had already enveloped it and was about to be directly put on it.

She was completely unaware and was still telling Bismarck about what had happened in the White Eagle Port area during this period of time.

"...That's probably it. Maybe Azur Lane really isn't as united as people imagine. Since it can't be reversed or avoided, it's only natural for you, Bismarck, to find another way out."

Hearing Enterprise's words without any blame, Bismarck felt a little ashamed and shook his head, saying, "In fact, the major factions in Azur Lane had a chance to reach a mutual understanding, but neither you nor I thought of doing so."

Hearing this, Enterprise was stunned for a moment, twisting the brim of his hat and saying helplessly: "Maybe, after all, I participated in the V plan and ruined his fate with Essex... I feel guilty and he feels resentful."

"Don't even mention whether everyone in White Eagle has this idea. Even the two of us tacitly agreed not to mention it."

"What about you, Bismarck? The Red Axis has already been established, why not take advantage of the situation and join him."

"me?"

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Bismarck said calmly: "I recognize him and agree with him, but the time is not right yet."

"Maybe this opportunity will never come, or maybe it will come tomorrow. I think... let's take it one step at a time."

"And he has no hatred towards you now, it's just a habit..."

Forget it. The company will have to take the blame later. If she says this now, the other party might think that Tiexue wants her to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Bismarck changed the subject, coughed twice and said stiffly: "Ahem, um... Are you ready to continue to stick to the Azur Lane? This may be the most difficult path."

"Although the Sakura Empire has split up, Nagato, Amagi, and most of the shipgirls below them are nominally part of Azur Lane, but you can't write two 'Sakura Empires' with one stroke. This is just Akagi's way of diffusing the conflict after what he did went too far in the past. There will always be a day when the broken mirror will be reunited."

"When the Sakura Empire is reunited, the traces of the three factions' conflict will be completely turned into history. Only then will the Sakura Empire be complete."

"I think the Royals will join the Red Axis, unless that guy who disappeared for a long time comes back now."

With a sad look in his eyes, Qiye sighed and said, "It's hard no matter how hard it is. Anyway, we have already gotten through the hardest time. It's not that scary to start over again."

"Besides, I've been feeling that the leadership position isn't suitable for me lately, and I'm thinking of retiring. Well, after the Solomon Campaign, I'll let Shangri-La take over, and then I'll go travel around the world myself."

From the high-spirited days when Azur Lane was first established to the current decline of heroes after the split, the company is already very tired and she doesn't want to work overtime anymore.

KanColle, you should be selfish for once, right?

Chapter 198 Pregnant...Pregnant?

"Ah sneeze——"

Xia Bai sniffed and curled up on the stool, wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket. From a distance, he looked like a big round hamster.

The makeshift antipsychotic drug had serious side effects, and Xia Bai's head was buzzing in the three days after the Red Axis was established.

As the weather gets colder, Xia Bai, who is not in good health, is forced to wrap himself in a thick cotton-padded jacket. Now he is sitting outside the meeting room, acting as the doorman, Mr. Xia.

I don't know if it's because of the division or because of the conspiracy, but at least now we can come up with something at the meeting. Although those argumentative people are still not quiet, they are finally willing to contribute.

Seeing this situation, although Xia Bai felt unwell, he was still in a good mood. Thinking that it was useless for him to go in, he simply found a stool and sat outside to watch the door, waiting for the results to come out.

The birth of the Red Axis had the greatest impact on Sakura Empire. After Red Fox came back to count the roster, he directly announced that he had joined the Red Axis with the former rebels.

Forget about the separation of the major camps, but their side was directly divided into two halves. The smart beast-eared girl expressed her understanding, while the not-so-smart one was going to find Commander Xia Bai to persuade the Red Fox.

But before he could take any action, he was stopped by Mikasa. This former flagship still has some prestige now, at least more than the little fox, and she suppressed his restlessness with just a few words.

By the way, the stupid ones are the ship girls like Kii and Izumo, whose muscles are stronger than their brains. The destroyers never cared about this at all. They only cared about the connection between Mr. Xia and them.

As long as there is no problem with the contact, he will regain his innocent and optimistic attitude towards life, playing with the little ship girls from other camps all day long.

For example, the 'heroines' Javelin, Rafi, Nimi, and Ayanami. Xia Bai often saw these four little guys staying together, acting sneaky, and would run away when they saw him.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The urgent reminder made Xia Bai, who was drowsy, open his eyes. He wrapped himself tighter and clicked on the communication ring with his finger.

Yes, it was my father-in-law... No, it was my father-in-law Arnold Signus who sent me a video call. Speculating what the other party wanted to talk to me about at this time, Xia Bai clicked the accept button on the screen.

"I heard from Evans that Xia Bai and you guys are planning to attack the Solomon Line?"

Rubbing his ears, Xia Bai said weakly: "You are really well-informed... I don't want to delay any longer. It is urgent to break through the Solomon Line of Defense and reconnect the various sea areas."

"Xia Bai, have you really thought it through? The 'Shipgirls Graveyard' is not groundless. The Maritime Administration has planned several attacks, but they all ended in failure."

Giving Xia Bai a meaningful look, Arnold said, "If I'm not completely sure, I won't let Evans go with you."

Xia Bai said: "It's still the 'Shipgirl Graveyard'. You attacked so many times but didn't sink many shipgirls. The only time you lost Patton was when you suffered heavy losses."

"I can't say I'm completely confident. Three parts are determined by fate, and seven parts depend on hard work. If you don't try, who knows what the outcome will be... Besides, who is Evans? Whether he goes or not has nothing to do with me."

"Wait, you're not trying to get someone in here to gain credit, are you? I'm telling you, my nickname is Iron-faced and Impartial, so don't even think about using the backdoor."

At this point, Xia Bai kept rubbing his index finger and thumb. The meaning was very simple: you can get people in, but you have to pay extra.

Arnold's face turned green with anger when he discovered Xia Bai's little trick, but due to his good family education, he still did not curse him. He said silently: "That's your brother. You took Cecilia's money at that time..."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Bai jumped up from the stool, stood up and looked around. After finding that there was no one nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "Can you tell others about this? Do you know how I would die if 03 knew about it?"

"Don't mention this matter again. Just keep it in your stomach."

Evans? His naming skills are not as good as Xia Bai's. I don't know what name Cecilia chose.

"Huh, I really don't understand you... Never mind, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I only have this one... uh, a few precious daughters. They love Evans deeply. Besides, I also think Evans is very good. As a parent, you should understand my thoughts."

Feeling as if the other party was looking down on him, Xia Bai cursed: "I know nothing about being a parent. Where did my son and daughter come from?"

"Recently, Leah told me that her period had stopped and her two younger sisters also showed signs of the disease."

"So what does this have to do with whether Evans comes or not?"

Looking at Xia Bai in confusion, Arnold suddenly remembered that this guy had not received any cultural education, so he explained in a low voice: "I mean I'm pregnant, do you understand?"

His expression became very strange, and Xia Bai, who felt that he had heard it wrong, asked in a low voice: "Wait, can you say it again?"

Taking a deep breath, Arnold said solemnly: "Leah is pregnant, and so are her two sisters. The father is Evans."

"..."

For some reason, a feeling of frustration rose in Xia Bai's heart after hearing this.

It's only been about two months, and Xiao 16 is in the third grade. Looking back at himself...how should I put it, he also has a good time every night, so why haven't I seen any movement from Shokaku and the others?

His voice became a little hoarse, and Xia Bai asked seriously: "Is this true? Don't make a mistake."

"Of course it's true. We at Signus have done everything we can to check again and again, and it turns out that she is indeed pregnant."

"I see. I'm going to be the second uncle too... Your Signus bloodline is quite powerful. Not only is Arnold and the ship girl having a love child, but even the half-man, half-ship Cecilia has a child with the son of Prometheus."

Arnold showed a happy expression on his face and cupped his hands, saying with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment. Sometimes luck works like that. But I'm a little nervous now. Will Cecilia and Evans' child inherit the ship suit or the mecha?"

"Yes, maybe she will be a real mecha girl. Remember to notify me when the child is born. If anyone wants to harm you, Signus, just call me."

In response, Arnold nodded and said, "In front of you, I, the Governor, and the Signus tycoon may not be a big deal, but in the human world, no force dares to do anything to their children."

This kind of news cannot be kept secret forever. To put it bluntly, the child born to Cecilia and Xiao 16 may be a completely new species, which will definitely attract the prying eyes of some scumbags.

So Xia Bai, a guy who doesn't want to be too involved with humans, has to support Signus. With his strength and prestige in the Takors army, he is enough to deter all the villains.

Chapter 199 Enterprise is unhappy

Originally, Xia Bai thought that the reason Arnold came to him was because he was worried about injury or death, so he didn't want RX-16 to participate in the Battle of Solomon.

But whether 16 can go or not is not up to his second brother. The key lies in his own opinion. The Solomon Line of Defense is inextricably linked to the Son of Prometheus.

If Xia Bai forcibly held down the RX-16, the other party might get angry over this. Of course, Xia Bai didn't intend to do that.

But now it's different. Cecilia is pregnant. As a husband, why don't you stay at home with your wife instead of messing around at the Solomon Line?

It is true that Xia Bai is confident that he can defeat Enpress and win, but this has nothing to do with whether he can win. He cannot guarantee that the RX-16 will not go wrong on the battlefield, nor can he guarantee that there will be no inexplicable guys attacking like in the full-dress combat.

This is human nature. Anyway, Xia Bai has already made up his mind to keep 16 at home, so he doesn't care what he thinks afterwards.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Bai said, "How about this, I will knock him out, and then feed Evans some of Mingshi's medicine, and let him sleep for a few days and nights."

Shaking his head, Arnold said, "Can we use a less violent method? Evans is my son-in-law after all, and Cecilia may not agree."

"I think this is the best solution. Once we go to Solomon, he will deploy his mecha and follow us, and you won't be able to stop him."

"16... Evans is my brother, I know him very well, Solomon is very important to him, he will not give up the opportunity to participate in this battle."

"If I had persuaded Evans to stay at home and take care of his wife, he might have asked me what I would choose if I were him."

With a serious expression, Arnold thought for a moment and asked, "So, let's use this method?"

"In fact, we can ask 03 to persuade him, but I don't think it will work... Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go talk to 03 later. Arnold, wait for my news."

The two then talked a little more about the Solomon Line, and ended the call after rejecting Arnold's offer to help on behalf of the Maritime Administration.

This is a test. Xia Bai has reason to believe that the more ship girls there are on this side, the more Sirens will be stationed in the Solomon Sea. As long as the other party's stipulated standards are met, Bismarck's attempt to pull in the Iron-Blooded High Seas Fleet was rejected by Xia Bai.

After hanging up the phone for a while, Xia Bai stared at the ceiling with a melancholy look on his face, feeling unsettled.

16Having a child is certainly a happy event, and as the second brother, he should be happy for the other party, but Xia Bai just can't be happy.

Logically speaking, he should be faster if he plows the fields every night and fights bloody battles everywhere, but why is there no movement so far? Is there something wrong with his life essence?

No, I have to find a chance to ask Arnold if he has any tricks.

In fact, it’s not that Xia Bai wants a child. He still has a long time to spend with the ship girls, and it’s not a good thing to have one now. It’s just that 16 suddenly got pregnant, and he felt that the other party outshined him, the second brother.

He, the Great Emperor of the Red Central Axis, had been strong all his life, so how could he lose in a place like this?

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more anxious he became. Soon after, he heard Uncle Xia's loud shouting at the door of the conference room.

"I do not accept!"

His train of thought was interrupted by the shouting. Zhenhai put down the documents in his hand, looked at Ajax, and said teasingly: "This one in your family is quite good."
