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

"Then there are the two cute ones. Saratoga is quirky and Lexington is elegant and graceful. The wife has a lot of temperament and should not be underestimated."

"The sects are not monolithic. For example, the royal family has a maid group with a high status, and the Sakura Empire has shrine maidens. Well... this part is too long to explain."

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Zhenhai said to Xia Bai with a strange look on his face, "In short, because the commander has been neglecting us and only caring about his own enjoyment for the past three months, the situation in the port area is not optimistic now."

"One wrong step can lead to collapse."

I didn't expect that such a small port area could accommodate so many talented people. What are they planning to do? Are they planning to rebel or assassinate the king?

Staring at Zhenhai with a dangerous look, as if trying to discern whether this person was loyal or treacherous, Xia Bai asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason for the collapse of the port area? Is it because of your group's rejection?"

Zhenhai smiled, turned around and leaned on the desk, revealing his graceful body, and entwined his slender fingers with Mosi, saying, "Oh, I lied to you about this, and exaggerated a bit. In fact, as long as the commander is still here, everything will be fine."

"..."

Seeing Xia Bai's face turn from blue to purple, Zhenhai hurriedly said: "But it is true that there are conflicts between the camps. As you know, a lot of things happened in the Azur Lane a long time ago."

"Even the Sakura Empire is now in a state of division, one belongs to the Azure Lane, and the other belongs to the Red Axis. It can be seen that the previous conflicts are not so easy to eliminate. The only reason they are forced to stick together now is because of you, Commander."

"Iron Blood and the Royal Family are at odds, the Sakura Empire and the White Eagles are at odds, and a small family like us, the East Huang, can only go with the flow."

"Not to mention Ember and Antix. The Sardinian Empire and Iris hate them very much. World peace doesn't mean that the past can be written off. Everyone just knows it tacitly."

"And everything has to be based on first come first served. Commander, you should understand that."

The Kancolles are unlikely to have such ideas as being keen on power and forming factions to fight against dissidents. The Iron Bloods have been excluded from the center of power, and more Ajax are unhappy with them.

I worked so hard to raise the commander, to send the son of Prometheus with supplies, and to support him wholeheartedly, even giving up my own body for him.

Why didn't I see you guys jumping around before? Now that the piglets I worked so hard to feed have grown fat, you want to steal some of them, right? Do you understand the rule of first come first served?

Ajax probably has this idea... Well, they can't stand seeing others do well, and seeing Stainless Steel making money is more painful than seeing themselves losing money.

Giving timely assistance and adding icing on the cake are two different concepts. When Xia Bai was dressed up for the battle, he had already made a fortune. With a combination of mobile phone punches, Qian Gong was beaten so hard that he ran away with his head in his hands. When Iron Blood joined at that time, it was indeed not as good as the Royal Army and the Sakura Empire.

As for Donghuang, they took the backdoor of Sakura Empire...

Xia Bai knew that Ajax would not cause any big trouble, but that didn't mean he could turn a blind eye. As a commander, he had to coordinate the relationships between the ship girls.

After thinking this through, Xia Bai bowed his head, looked respectful and said sincerely: "Please teach me, sir!"

With a blushing face, Zhenhai tightened her round and soft legs, pointed at him and said coquettishly: "Is peeking your eyes your sincerity in asking for advice?"

At that angle just now, I was caught off guard and my skirt might have been seen.

Xia Bai said seriously, "In terms of heart, not deeds, I am seriously asking you, Zhenhai, for advice on how to solve this problem."

"Besides, we've slept together before, so I've seen everything. You know I like your legs better than your panties, and it would be even better if I could see the soles of your feet."

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. Zhenhai decided not to care about Xia Bai's behavior, because if he cared too much, he would be fooled by this shameless guy.

So Zhenhai crossed his legs, put one hand on his chest to prevent himself from being peeped at, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll teach you."

"First of all, the office must be joined by shipgirls from all factions. We can't just rely on the three of us."

"Power is like a piece of cake. Shipgirls may not care about it, but they must have it, because then they won't feel that you are ignoring them."

"Then there is the most important secretary ship. Commander, you'd better find a secretary ship as soon as possible to put an end to the restlessness in the hearts of some ship girls."

"I can't give the commander any advice on who to choose for this position, but you should understand what this means."

Chapter 15 Uninvited to Veneto

The secretary ship is not a simple position. It represents the collective will of the ship girls of a garrison. When the commander is absent, she has power similar to that of the commander.

This kind of responsibility must be performed by the commander's most trusted ship girl, and the one who usually appears in this position is the marriage ship. There is also a saying among the ship girls that the secretary ship is the legal wife.

Of course, the reason why unspoken rules are unspoken rules is that they cannot be mentioned openly.

Now that Zhenhai vaguely mentioned this deeper meaning, Xia Bai broke out in a cold sweat. The secretary ship was very important. In order to integrate the will of the ship girls and avoid what happened here today, he had to set up a secretary ship.

But as Zhenhai said, the selection of the secretary ship needs to be carefully considered, otherwise it will really cause big trouble.

Just think about it, even a strategist like Zhenhai didn't dare to reveal his candidates, for fear of saying too few or too many and getting in trouble. This shows the seriousness of the matter.

‘Dong dong dong——’

Just when Xia Bai wanted to continue communicating with Zhenhai about the secretary ship, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Without thinking, Xia Bai immediately returned to his desk, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door opened and a girl with silver-gray hair walked in with an embarrassed expression.

The burgundy military uniform showed off her impressive figure. On her left shoulder was a black shawl with a red interior. The joints were covered with medals, and a ribbon in the colors of the Italian flag was hung on her chest.

Her legs were long, straight, and radiant, with dark gold metal pieces forming an arc that connected to her long boots and socks. She was three parts heroic and seven parts gorgeous, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a small nose, fluffy silver-gray hair that didn't reach her knees, and a knight's sword hanging from her waist.

The visitor was none other than the current leader of the Sardinian Empire, the first ship of the Vittorio Veneto-class battleship, Vittorio Veneto, who was known as the Three Musketeers of the Battleship together with Bismarck and Richelieu.

Having been persuaded by Richelieu earlier, Veneto went back to the Sardinian Empire to discuss matters with Littorio. Now that the leader of the Sardinian Empire had made a decision, he would not hesitate.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, so Veneto immediately came to the castle tower, wanting to know the exact answer from Xia Bai.

Adjusting his nervous breathing due to the uncertainty of the future, Veneto saluted and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Hello, Lord Xia Bai, Veneto came uninvited, am I sorry to bother you?"

"It's okay, you sit down first." With a somewhat surprised expression, Xia Bai pointed at the sofa beside him with his right hand.

In these three months, Xia Bai and Veneto had only met more than ten times, and most of the time they just chatted for a few minutes. He really didn't expect that the other party would visit him today.

Considering the vague sense of anticipation that Veneto revealed every time they met, Xia Bai knew that she couldn't help but say what was in her heart.

But before Veneto could speak, the Purifier raised his head and said weakly, "Is she also a helper you invited? Let me make it clear first, no matter how many helpers you find, you must never go back on your promise to me."

"Stop talking nonsense and continue doing your thing. I, Xia Bai, always keep my word. As long as you deal with these documents, I will agree to anything you want."

Considering that Veneto might feel uncomfortable when seeing Antix, Xia Bai pushed the Purifier's head back to the table and gave him a gentle smile.

"Just pretend this idiot doesn't exist and let's move on."

With his hands crossed at his chin, Xia Bai acted like a commander and said solemnly, "Excuse me, Miss Veneto, what is the important matter that brought you here today?"

After hearing what the Purifier said just now, Veneto's eyes lit up. He did not pick up Xia Bai's words, but pointed to the "mountain of documents" in front of his desk and asked: "Putting aside my purpose for now, I would like to ask if Lord Xia Bai's promise is also valid for me."

"what do you mean?"

"I am helping Lord Xia Bai with the documents. Please do me a favor."

I see. So Veneto has wanted my help with something since the first time we met... No wonder I always felt she was weird.

But what would Veneto ask me to do for her? Antix has already entered a silent state according to Lingchan's instructions, and will never take action unless provoked.

Could it be a political dispute with the I government? But this does not require the help of a Lieutenant General like me, Takors, who has a position but no power.

After the Battle of Butterfly Sea Dream Flower, Xia Bai was promoted to Vice Admiral. Well, a one and a half year old Vice Admiral, although he did not have the corresponding rights, it was just an honorary title, but Xia Bai still gave some recognition to the Takors government's actions.

Whether there is support or not is another matter, but anyone with a little bit of intelligence knows that they should make a few statements after the war to express their position. Regardless of whether this military rank is a show of goodwill or not, the superficial work still needs to be done.

Don't just stay like Bai Ye and be a 'mute' and push yourself into a dead end. After knowing this, Xia Bai still feels that those government bureaucrats are at least not real idiots.

As for why Xia Bai thought that Veneto wanted his help to resolve the dispute with humans, just look at the rows of medals on his shoulders.

The Order of St. Sylvester, awarded directly by the Vatican boss, is of the rank of Baroness and Grand Knight judging by the way it is worn. Judging from this medal, Veneto can be said to be in a high position of power and prestige in the Faro Sea.

Veneto is not like Sakura Empire, which simply ignores the J government. Instead, it has deep entanglements with humans.

The conflict between humans and ship girls has always existed. After all, who knows what weird ideas those bureaucrats will have in their minds in the new day.

What's more, the world is now at peace, and the conflicts that were previously suppressed under the threat of Antix can now be put on the table.

However...Azur Lane and Red Axis have just returned with the great achievement of retaking the Solomon Line. Would there really be some blind idiots who would test Veneto's bottom line at this time?

This is not the way to seek death. Aren't you afraid that your ancestral graves will be dug up by angry people?

Speculations about Veneto asking for his help flashed through his mind, and Xia Bai said gently: "Sure, as long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I can help you with anything I can do."

With the burden in his heart put down, Veneto nodded. Not afraid that Xia would take advantage of him for free, he immediately pulled out a chair and sat next to Zhenhai.

"Please forgive me, Miss Zhenhai."

"It's okay. It would be great if Miss Veneto could help me share some of the work." After saying that, Zhenhai unceremoniously placed two piles of 'file mountains' next to Veneto.

Looking at the pile of documents, Veneto showed no fear at all. Fire was burning in her eyes. At least she had to get the promise first. Whether she could be resurrected depended on fate. She had done everything she could.

Chapter 16 She Wants to Take Action ()

The spring breeze blows gently towards us.

The afternoon spring breeze brought a hint of coolness, blowing away Xia Bai's irritability.

Standing in front of the window, Xia Bai felt the touch of the wind and was filled with emotion.

There is strength in numbers. With the help of Veneto and subsequent ship girls, the number of file mountains is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After several hours of hard work, he not only completed the work that had been piled up for half a month, but also made clear arrangements for the port area's policies for the next month.

Although Xia Bai did not contribute much, and even stopped moving after Prince Eugen brought his men, he is a leader, and now there are remarkable results, which is because of his good leadership.

There is a saying that goes, if the leaders are doing the work, what are you doing?

As for Xia Bai's unpaid exploitation, the Iron Blood ship girls led by Prince Eugen were not angry at all. Instead, they felt very comfortable. After entering once, they entered again. After three months, the Iron Blood finally broke through the siege of the three major sects and entered the port center.

Fortunately, Xia Bai didn’t know what Prince Eugen was thinking, otherwise he would definitely complain that there was something wrong with their mentality.

Is your purpose of working here to get into the so-called power center? After you get in, you will just work for me for nothing...

"Life is as lonely as snow." Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xia Bai sighed in a literary way.

"Are you lonely... Hehehe~ Do you need to act cute on my chest? My child."

A gentle voice full of maternal love sounded, making Xia Bai's face twitch. Prince Eugen looked for help to handle his affairs, and called Frederick the Great...

The beautiful day ended when he met Frederick the Great. To be honest, he still didn't know what was in the other's head.

If you have a strong maternal instinct, just adopt a few orphans. Besides, there aren't many little expellees in the Iron Blood. Wouldn't it be good to coax a few of them to be your own children? At the very least, Lafite from the White Eagle side is easy to coax. If you go to Lafite, you will have to torture yourself.

Frowning, Xia Bai ignored Frederick the Great, turned around and walked behind Lexington, and said softly: "I called you here early in the morning and kept you here until now. Thank you for your hard work."

"And Saratoga, too, thank you."

In response to Xia Bai's thanks, Saratoga winked mischievously, and intentionally or unintentionally poked out her slender legs wrapped in white silk stockings from under her skirt.

"It would be too polite to say thank you. Saratoga and her sister were planning to have a good stroll around the port today. How is the commander going to compensate us?"

"Saratoga," Lexington whispered.

Hearing some reproach in Lexington's voice, Saratoga curled her lips and said, "Well, you are the commander after all, so you don't have to compensate us."

"It's a pity that our sisters dressed up so carefully today."

As she said this, Saratoga deliberately shook her legs again and gave Xia Bai a meaningful smile.

Xia Bai also knew that the sisters were deliberately teasing him, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, but he couldn't get angry at all with such tactics.

"I haven't really been around the port area yet. I'll go with you guys later."

Hearing this, Saratoga's eyes lit up, and she was about to say something when she was interrupted by Lexington's blaming look.

Today, Lexington paired a white women's suit with a white business skirt, while her lower body was actually ultra-thin black stockings. The white and black formed a strong contrast. Looking closely, it seemed that she had put on some light makeup on her pretty face, making her look even more gentle and charming.

After interrupting Saratoga, the gentle lady smiled faintly and said, "Don't listen to Gaga. If the commander is busy, there is no need to make time to be with us."

Xia Bai assured: "I have plenty of time in the afternoon, don't worry, I will accompany you."

"Then consider this as our reward for helping. After all, we have monopolized the commander's afternoon. It's not good to be too greedy."

What a wonderful tactic of retreating to advance, calm and magnanimous. That little bitch Shokaku has really met her match. This Lexington from Huanmeng is not inferior to me.

Watching the conversation between Xia Bai and Lexington coldly, Akagi became a little alert, but did not show her aggressiveness or possessiveness towards Xia Bai. Instead, she was happy to see such a scene. At this time, the one who should be jealous was not her, but Shokaku.

If Shokaku knew about this, she would definitely go crazy. She has always aimed to be a secretary ship and has held herself to the highest standards as a secretary ship. Even if she loses in the end, she cannot lose to Lexington.

Thinking of this, Akagi couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in her heart. She wanted to see Shokaku and Lexington fighting each other.

This kind of joy should be the reason why there are so many people who like to have fun and make trouble in the royal family.

Akagi secretly recorded the conversation between Xia Bai and Lexington and sent it to Shokaku, revealing a strange smile.

Hehe, since I am your best 'senior', you don't have to thank me, Shokaku-senior.

When the clam and the crane fight, the fox benefits. When the two are fighting to the death in the afternoon, she will take Xia Bai away. This plan is perfect!

Peter, who had just finished his work, looked up and saw Akagi's smile, and a little bit of vigilance arose in his heart.

Why is Akagi laughing so horribly? Is he unhappy with our arrival and planning to flip the table and attack Sangvishes? Should we strike first?

No, I have to discuss this with Prince Eugen.

Just as Peter clenched his hands and whispered something with Prince Eugen, Zhenhai had just finished processing the documents and saw this scene, feeling something was wrong.
