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

"Sedlitz must have discovered something... This guy is very tight-lipped, I'm afraid we can't get anything out of him."

"Forget it, start Plan B. I don't believe Akagi can find helpers. We in KGV can't find an iron-blooded ship girl."

As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed. The Prince of Wales came to Iron Blood so early in the morning not only to fulfill his bet, but also to shoulder the mission assigned to him by King George V.

Akagi's idea yesterday gave KGV a lot of inspiration. The Iron Bloods are quite powerful, and there is no one who can compete for the secretary ship. This is simply the best target to be won over now.

While not many people realize this yet, try to win over as many as you can.

Anyway, Qiao Wu gave the Prince of Wales a target. No matter what means she used, she must win over a ship girl who had a say in Iron Blood to join the KVG Alliance today.

Just as Wales was thinking about whether to try Prince Eugen or Scharnhorst, a lively and cheerful ship girl walked past her humming a song.

After confirming the other party's identity, the Prince of Wales' eyes lit up and he quickly walked up to him.

......

On the other side, Seydlitz also came to Bismarck's office.

Seeing Seydlitz coming in without even knocking, Bismarck put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile, "You are on duty today, right? What happened that makes you so anxious?"

Seydlitz first saluted, and then told Bismarck his guess.

After a moment's silence, Bismarck said awkwardly, "Is that so... What a pity! The surveillance equipment at the wall is broken. If someone really climbed over the wall and took the commander away, they wouldn't be caught on camera."

"Look, this is the inspection report that Adalbert just sent over."

Bismarck picked up the report on the table and handed it to Seydlitz, his expression somewhat helpless.

For the stability of the port area, finding the commander must be the top priority now. Sedlitz's idea is good. If we turn on the surveillance, we will definitely find some clues.

But luck seemed not to be very good, as the monitoring equipment broke down at this critical moment.

After quickly reading the report handed over by Bismarck, Seydlitz put it on the table. He had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

"If I remember correctly, Adalbert was on duty with Lützow yesterday?"

"Well, they were the two on duty yesterday."

"I think there are some coincidences and I want to ask Prince Adalbert." After hearing Bismarck's answer, Seydlitz felt more and more that something was wrong.

"As for her, she asked for a day off after submitting the report. I heard from Heinrich who was traveling with me that Adalbert seemed to have obtained a lot of red tips and wanted to go to the coastal cities to purchase them..."

Having said this, Bismarck paused and felt something was wrong just like Seydlitz. This was too much of a coincidence.

While on duty yesterday, the commander disappeared from Iron Blood. Today he reported that the surveillance was broken, and he got a red tip from somewhere.

Damn it, there is a traitor in Iron Blood!!!

Chapter 57 Commander's Failure

White Eagle Dormitory, in the living room of St. Louis.

Facing the playful scrutiny of several people, Xia Bai couldn't help but stick close to Essex's body and said weakly: "This is the situation. I will live with Jiaozi for the next few days."

Essex nodded and added appropriately: "For the sake of Abai's physical and mental health, you are forbidden to sleep with him when she changes back."

"Don't use the word 'you'... St. Louis is the only one who thinks so." After correcting the mistake in Essex's words, RX-03 turned and looked at Zeppelin.

"What do you think? Have we made any progress in the study of the origin of life?"

Leaning on the sofa, Zeppelin, who was wearing a thin shirt, glanced at 03 and said, "There is not much progress. Maybe experiencing it in person would be a good choice."

Xia Bai: “???”

Hearing this, St. Louis pointed at Xia Bai and laughed, "Haha~ Democratic vote, three to one, Commander, your proposal is invalid."

Xia Bai loudly retorted: "I am the commander and have the power of veto! Even if I don't use the veto, according to the port regulations, the commander has 2 votes and the wedding ship has 1.5 votes."

Hearing this, 03 asked with a strange expression: "Is Essex a wedding ship?"

Holding Essex's hand, Xia Bai replied calmly: "If I say yes, then yes, so what? Do you care how many wedding ships I have?"

"Even so, we have 4..."

Counting his fingers, Xia Bai interrupted, "The number of votes is not the number of heads. RX-03, you are not even a ship girl, so you got 0 votes directly. In other words, the result is now 3.5 to 2.5. My suggestion is directly passed!"

After saying this righteously, Xia Bai changed his serious attitude and continued earnestly: "I came to White Eagle to seek refuge, not to be played with by you. Avoid contact with Atago and don't take anything she says to heart."

"I trusted you so much, Saint Louis, but you turned out to be no different from the others, or even worse. It really broke my heart. As a ship girl, what you should care about is not my size, but the development and construction of the port area."

"Now that the threat from Antix has been eliminated, do you think everything is fine and you can enjoy a peaceful life?"

"I'm telling you now, Embers and White Night are still eyeing the outer layer of the world, and you don't think about how to retaliate, but think about these messes all day long. As a commander, I'm very disappointed."

When Xia Bai got serious, he was still very majestic. He silenced the three people from St. Louis with just a few words.

In the past three months, not only Xia Bai had nothing to do, but most of the ship girls did the same. They no longer had the sense of crisis that one wrong step would lead to the annihilation of the entire army. There were no attack missions and no enemies.

There is only tranquility and peace. Logically speaking, everyone wants peace, but when it really comes, it is really hard to adapt to it.

It is precisely because of this inadaptability that yesterday, when Prince of Wales raised his arm and called for action, the ship girls in the port area were instigated to besiege Iron Blood. Are they really that easily instigated?

I just want to take this opportunity to vent my emotions and add some fun to my boring life.

The same is true for St. Louis. Atago did have some influence on her, but in the end it was just because she was too bored. Without wars and missions, wouldn't she just be able to hang out with her commander?

Seeing that the three of them were somewhat ashamed, Xia Bai cleared his throat, softened his tone, and said gently: "This is not entirely your fault. It's mainly because I have been too lazy in the past three months and have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a commander."

"I promise you that once I recover, I will reorganize the order of the port and the future goals..."

"Commander!" Zeppelin interrupted Xia Bai. Seeing that the other party turned his gaze to him, Zeppelin continued, "Iron Blood needs Mecha God... We also need strength."

The Royal Family is the group least affected by post-war syndrome, because their leader, Elizabeth, is a person who cannot bear to be lonely. She organizes various activities every few days, or practices the Mecha ritual.

Because of the arrival of the Original Hero, the Royal Ship Girls have also gotten used to singing anytime and anywhere, and they also asked Akashi to make a convenient and portable singing stage that can be ready in less than a minute.

Xia Bai also understood Zeppelin's thoughts. She didn't mean individual Mecha Gods, but collective extraordinary Mecha Gods, just like the King of Terminal and Sakura Empire, the Original Hero and the Royal Family.

If preparations are made in advance, there will be room for maneuver when faced with an unexpected crisis. However, Xia Bai alone has no say in this matter, and the thoughts of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl must still be considered.

Although Iron Blood has joined the Red Axis and verbally called him the commander, it is still a long way to go for formal camp recognition. As far as Xia Bai knows, Bismarck has been struggling with this issue for the past three months.

After thinking about it, Xia Bai decided to postpone the matter and said, "I will be in the castle tower after I recover. At that time, Zeppelin, you can put the proposal on the table. You can communicate with Bismarck in advance and ask her what she thinks."

"it is good."

I have to say that Xia Bai's seriousness in doing things is commendable. With just a few words, he turned the discussion of private matters into official business.

The next few people who got into the state began to draft the copy, mainly discussing the twelve-person working group mentioned by Elizabeth, as well as some other small things.

"What Zhenhai said makes sense. Although the mosquitoes can't cause any damage to me, it's not a good idea to just leave them alone. St. Louis, you should communicate with Shangri-La and use your interpersonal relationships to teach them a lesson..."

"The twelve people in the office are recommended by each camp, but for Antix, I will nominate the resurrected Justice. As for why, it has something to do with the Mecha God of the Top."

"Then there is the drill. We have been too relaxed during this period and we need a grand drill to cheer the girls up."

"..."

Just like that, as time slowly passed, the sun hung high in the sky.

"Let's postpone the secretary ship issue. I haven't decided on a specific candidate yet, and no matter who I choose, there will be people who are dissatisfied... It's getting late now. Is the White Eagle Canteen open for dinner?"

St. Louis stopped writing and carefully put the recorded paper into the ship's space. His serious expression changed and he smiled charmingly, "We don't have a cafeteria in the White Eagles. Everyone either eats instant food or goes to other camps to eat."

"Of course, I'm different. If the Commander is interested..."

Before St. Louis could finish, Xia Bai refused, "Forget it, I'm not interested. You can also record that White Eagle has no cafeteria. After I restore order in the port area, food, clothing, housing and transportation will all need to be solved."

You don't know until you try. Once you do it, you'll be shocked. After three months of lethargy, Xia Bai finally realized what the current situation in the port area was. It was the efforts of the leaders of each camp that prevented the area from becoming chaotic.

As a commander, he was indeed a failure.

Chapter 58: The Fancy Activities of Retired Leaders

As the most special job in the world, every commander receives a comprehensive education in the academy.

From management, tactical application, psychological adjustment to tailoring, cooking, carpentry, welding, etc. I can't say I'm all-round, I can only say I know a little bit.

The title of 'high-quality human beings' is very suitable for the commander and his group.

Of course, this is an academic commander, one of the rare unconventional people that still exists in this world. Their experiences are probably the same as Xia Bai's. They possess spiritual talents, and then are noticed by passing ship girls.

Generally speaking, in order to do their job well, such unconventional people will choose to study at the Commander Academy for a period of time.

After all, not all ship girls are mature big sisters. Some are "captured" by destroyers and become commanders.

You are a latecomer to this field, and you are surrounded by immature destroyers. Trying to improve yourself will only kill your own ship girl.

It can be said that all commanders in this world, except Xia Bai, have gone to the academy for further study to a greater or lesser extent, including the kept RX-16, who has now been thrown into Takors' Commander Academy.

Because they are very clear about their status and responsibilities, when they come into contact with the ship girls, the commander's first task is to protect and take good care of them.

The only advantage Xia Bai has over them is his fighting ability. The reason why he was able to absorb the Azure Lane, establish the Red Axis, and now has hundreds of ship girls under his command is also because of his fighting ability.

Not only can he fight, but he can also help the ship girls become stronger. This is his capital to attract the ship girls.

"...So what you mean is that I should take some time to go to the Commander Academy for further studies?" Xia Bai asked, touching her slightly bulging belly while sitting at the dinner table.

The rich woman’s special meal is indeed delicious.

Ignoring St. Louis's angry glare, Essex nodded and said softly, "That's right, Bai, although you have a good grasp of the general direction, you don't know a lot of knowledge related to the commander."

"For example, there has been nothing to do in the past three months. If it weren't for Bismarck, Nagato and the others keeping things under control, the port area would have been in chaos a long time ago."

"The commander should take care of the clothing, food, housing, positions, and even mental states of hundreds of ship girls. It would be fine if there was no commander, but now that there is one, it is impossible for everyone to maintain the original camp lifestyle."

"You need to show up often, take care of every ship girl, and find out their psychological reasons in time. You can't let the ship girls feel that you are ignoring them."

The corners of Xia Bai's mouth twitched, and he looked at St. Louis with a complicated expression and asked, "So, I am a failure as a commander?"

St. Louis did not answer directly. He pursed his lips and said, "You are different from other commanders... You don't need those messy traits."

Hearing this, Xia Bai's heart sank. He wanted to ask Zeppelin or RX-03 again, but considering that one of them was not as good as him and the other was a chuunibyou, he had to give up.

Sighing, Xia Bai said awkwardly: "Okay, I will find a way to solve my own problems. As for going to the Commander Academy, I'll wait and see. After all, I'm not alone. Whether to go or not also needs to consider the opinions of Akagi and the others."

"Besides, my current identity... well, it's a little inappropriate."

Xia Bai is now the head of the most violent organization in the world. Although ordinary people don't know this, his reputation of saving the world several times is still very great in the eyes of those who are interested.

The fan club set up by the re-employed driver Kressa is almost being labeled a cult.

To make an analogy, it is like a head of state comes to your country with a "black box" and says he wants to take classes to further his studies. Do you think this is appropriate?

Not to mention that Xia Bai is not carrying a nuclear bomb, he himself is a nuclear bomb.

When you have a high status, everything you do and say will trigger other people's associations. This is Xia Bai's current distress.

Therefore, he did not feel the slightest bit unhappy about the government agencies' intentional concealment of his achievements. Instead, he felt a little grateful.

Her neatly trimmed nails tapped lightly on the tabletop. RX-03 held her cheek with one hand, a smile of interest on her face.

"Identity is not a difficult issue. With our power, it's easy to forge one. Then St. Louis can just put some makeup on you."

She would have to put on makeup every day, wouldn't that mean she could live a sweet life with Xia Bai? Even if there were other ship girls following her, there wouldn't be as many as there are now.

After thinking this through, St. Louis no longer had any ideas of objecting and immediately defected to Essex, saying that this was a good idea.

"We will postpone it until the castle tower meeting."

"I've eaten a lot. I'll move around a bit. You guys can enjoy yourselves."

After saying that, Xia Bai left the table, touched his stomach, and slowly walked out of St. Louis' room.

As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will think about that thing. After eating and drinking, Xia Bai looked at the bright and beautiful people and his appetite increased. However, considering the painful lesson of yesterday, he had to give up.

Time should not be wasted on posting, sometimes it is okay to waste it on entertainment activities, such as video games...

According to his understanding, all the dormitories in White Eagle were equipped with computers. He could just find an empty room and surf the Internet, which would be a great way to spend the afternoon.

Just like that, Xia Bai, who had entered the sage state, found an empty room and turned on the computer that he hadn't used for a long time. Looking at the system logo that appeared on the screen, he felt a sense of inexplicable nostalgia.

"Let me think... the website address of the exclusive forum for ship girls and commanders is..."

I quickly entered a series of codes on the keyboard, and an interface popped up on the screen, asking for a username.

Because the computer device had already been authenticated for login permission, Xia Bai created a new account named 'Ye Ao, Nai Wo He' without thinking twice, and did not use the previous 'RX-02'.

One reason is to avoid being recognized, and the other is that he hasn't touched a computer for a long time. Using such an ID is more in line with the retro style and attitude of old netizens, and commemorates his glorious years as a troll on the Internet.

"Let me see what new things the stupid netizens have come up with."

"Commanders' XP choices? I've seen this, everyone is a European party, it's boring."

"On the clever and clumsy tactics of 'Diehai Menghua' in combat? What about the [Natural Algorithm System]? Just by looking at the battle report, one can predict the course of the entire battle."

This is a typical clickbait title. Only Azur Lane, Son of Prometheus, and Red Axis are involved in Operation Butterfly Sea Dream Flower. Even the government doesn't quite understand the specific details. And you're the only one who can tell the difference between a good hand and a bad pen.
