Thinking about having a proper talk with Akashi later, Xia Bai shifted his gaze from the two ship girls in front of him to the door and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and more than a dozen ship girls filed in.

They looked at Shinano and Atago who were standing in front of the commander's desk, as if they understood something, and pursed their lips, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

"The leaders of each camp report to you." After hesitating for a few seconds, Bismarck saluted and spoke.

Nodding, Xia Bai sat on the chair and said with a smile on his face: "From now on, your office will be next to mine. There are some documents waiting for you to deal with. Go first... Richelieu stays."

Several camp leaders looked at each other and went to their own offices. Richelieu, the only one who was asked by Xia Bai to stay, seemed a little uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. Sit down first. I'll come and talk to you after I've dealt with this matter."

Putting Richelieu aside, Xia Bai turned his attention to Atago and Shinano again. His face became stern, and he supported his chin with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Do you realize your mistake?"

"Sister, I am right."

"I was wrong."

The completely different answers showed the state of mind of the parties involved. Atago was used to being lawless and didn't think she was wrong at all. The big gray fox, on the other hand, was deeply reflecting on himself, lowering his head with a guilty look on his face.

"Shinano, as the former flagship of the Sakura Empire, you should have taken the lead in the port area. It's ok that you slept all day, but you dragged me along... ahem, and even disrespected the commander in the meeting. This has a bad impact on the port area."

"I didn't say it in front of all the leaders just now because I wanted to save your face. Do you know what you should do next?"

"I understand." Shinano said softly, her cheeks flushed, and she almost buried her head in her towering chest.

The big gray fox has a strong sense of shame. Being lectured by Xia Bai in front of her two "juniors" Atago and Richelieu can be considered the biggest punishment for her.

Seeing this, Xia Bai realized that Shinano was deeply aware of his mistake, so he gave him a symbolic punishment.

"There is no order without rules. Now that the new law for the port area has just been established, you, Shinano, have committed such a crime as a wedding ship. If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm afraid no one will take the new law seriously."

"From now on, the training mission of the scientific research ship will be handed over to you. I hope you will learn from this and not make the same mistake again."

Dafeng has been behaving very well recently, which makes Xia Bai very satisfied. So, on the pretext of Shinano's mistake, he replaced her and let her rest for a while as a reward. He also found some work for Shinano to do so that she wouldn't sleep all day.

It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone, and even Xia Bai himself admires him.

After dealing with Shinano, Xia Bai focused his attention on Atago. He was really troubled by this stubborn guy.

Atago was certain that he couldn't do anything to her, so he was so arrogant.

This is indeed the case. Although Xia Bai has changed his previous way of thinking about ship girls, Atago is his marriage ship after all, and Xia Bai himself cannot bear to do anything cruel to her.

But if we leave them alone, the atmosphere in Hong Kong will only get worse.

As the saying goes, it is better to guide than to block. In fact, the best way is to spend more time with Atago and feed her well, then there will be fewer problems. However, doing so will only encourage Atago's arrogance. Guidance should be put after punishment.

So, Xia Bai jumped off the chair, walked quickly to Atago, looked up at her, and realized that he couldn't do it anymore.

It’s so high that I can’t even see Atago’s face from below, damn big Lailai.

While comparing the difference between the opponent's lailai and head, Xia Bai said calmly: "You, squat down."

Blinking, Atago slowly squatted on the ground, at the same level as Xia Bai, and inadvertently lifted a corner of her skirt, revealing the absolute area formed by her black stockings and white thighs.

His face darkened, Xia Bai reached out and hit Atago hard on the head.

"Reflect on yourself seriously. Look at what you are like now. You don't do anything serious all day long but spread those obscene thoughts. You have corrupted the port area!"

Hearing this, Atago was not ashamed at all. Instead, she smiled obediently and said softly in a sweet tone, "That's all the business of the wedding ship. Xiao Xiabai has been staying in the castle tower and not coming to accompany me."

"Compared to these, Xiao Xiabai, do you want to have some fun now? I have many tricks for people of your body type to have fun~"

As she spoke, Atago smiled coquettishly, formed a circle with her right index finger and thumb, and raised a finger of her left hand and moved it in and out continuously.

Xia Bai: “…”

Richelieu is still here, you didn't listen to what I said at all!!!

Xia Bai was almost laughing because of Atago. Apart from Huang Se, this guy really had nothing in his mind. As long as she was being Huang Se, she could spend every day happily.

"I can't control you, but someone can."

After quickly sending a message to the two ship girls using the communication ring, Xia Bai returned to his chair and began to process documents, pretending that he hadn't seen Atago.

After a while, there was a knock on the door and two identical ship girls walked in.

"Commander, any instructions?"

Pointing at Atago, Xia Bai covered his face and said, "I'll leave her to you. Give your sister a profound lesson... I don't care how hard you hit her, the important thing is to let her know that she is wrong."

Upon hearing this, the two Kaohsiungs looked at each other, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Atago and dragged her out.

Don’t they know what Atago is like? There is no need to think about it, she must have made Xia Bai angry again.

Let’s not talk about Kaohsiung for now. Kaohsiung META now really regards Atago in front of them as their former sister. Recently, they would go to Kaohsiung whenever they have time.

On the surface, they were exchanging swordsmanship, but in reality, they just wanted to chat with Atago for a while and make up for their regrets. The two Takaohios were double the happiness for Maya and Uinori, but double the pain for Atago.

Can you imagine that if you say something sexually suggestive, two knives will be placed on your neck? Anyway, Atago has suffered enough during this period, and she is even forced to practice sparring every day.

"No, Xiao Xiabai, you can't do this to me."

"I have made contributions to the Sakura Empire, and I have bled in bed... Kaohsiung sister, please talk nicely, don't pull my ears."

As the door closed heavily, all the noise in the command room returned to silence.

Chapter 69 Professionalization

Rustle, rustle...

The sound of pen tip touching paper echoed in the command room.

"Road sign application, can you please submit the suggestion... approved, the logistics staff will be in charge and it will be resolved within three days."

"This is an application report from Liang Yue's staff. The young military advisor is still so confident... Will it be approved?"

Seeing that Xia Bai looked embarrassed and didn't seem to see him, Richelieu couldn't sit still anymore and asked, "Excuse me, Xia Bai, what is your purpose in asking me to stay?"

"Oh, you're still here, I forgot."

Patting his forehead, Xia Bai put down his pen and said solemnly: "Although it is good to distinguish between public and private affairs, I still hope that you can call me 'Commander', Richelieu."

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and Richelieu changed his tone without changing his expression: "Okay, Commander, do you have any 'instructions'?"

Richelieu deliberately imitated Kaohsiung's tone and emphasized the word "command". There was no doubt that the cardinal was very dissatisfied.

But this is also human nature. After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were threatened to make a choice they were unwilling to make.

Xia Bai also knew that Richelieu had some complaints, so he left her alone to explain the matter.

"Just kidding, you should just call me by my name, otherwise it sounds awkward... I'm sorry about what happened just now." Xia Bai said this very sincerely, and he was apologizing sincerely.

However, even though he apologized, if he had to choose again, he would still force Richelieu to join him.

A sincere apology does not conflict with actual action, right?

His expression paused, and Richelieu said in a voice without any emotion: "No need, I have thought it through. We know too much that we can't stay out of it. Joining you is the best way out for Free Iris."

"I'll say this beforehand. Although you've decided to join the Red Axis, you can't convince me and the Free Iris right now... In my eyes, you've never been a competent commander."

Scratching his face, Xia Bai said, "Well, I admit that, and I am working hard to be more competent... Anyway, thank you for your understanding."

Different from his domineering performance in the conference, Xia Bai is now very humble.

Staring into Xia Bai's eyes, Richelieu's expression softened a lot and he said, "Anything else? If not, I'll go back first."

"Please make yourself at home. The office is next door. Don't ask for leave on your first day of work."

"You don't need to remind me."

After saying this coldly, Richelieu left the command room without any reluctance.

It seems that it will take some time before Richelieu is willing to stay. You should go to Iris more often in the next few days to get to know her better.

Then Xia Bai went back to processing the documents.

A forced melon is not sweet, but it is enjoyable to eat.

......

"Commander, commander?"

Hearing the call, Xia Bai, who was lying on the table, raised his head.

"Huh? Shinano, why are you still here? Haven't I assigned you a mission?"

Shinano walked lightly to Xia Bai's side, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his face, saying rather complainingly: "It's already nine o'clock in the evening. Beifa said you didn't go back to the castle tower, so I came back here to take a look."

"Really? Even if you've made up your mind, you don't have to work so hard and even skip dinner."

Hearing this, Xia Bai turned his head and looked at the sky through the window. Only then did he realize that it had become completely dark outside. He had been working for five hours without realizing it.

If this had happened in the past, Xia Bai would never have dared to imagine that he could sit in an office chair for five hours without moving. It really is true that people are forced to do things.

Looking at the pile of documents on the table that were obviously missing, Xia Bai felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Well, as long as you want to do it, you can do it... Strike while the iron is hot and confirm all of this today. Everyone’s port report should be here tomorrow.

Holding Shinano's hand, Xia Bai shook his head and said seriously: "It's more important to deal with these things. It doesn't matter if you go hungry for a meal."

Shinano, on the other hand, changed her previous gentleness and said firmly: "No, the commander must eat well and rest well."

"We hope that you can grow and handle things independently, but we don't want to see you go from one extreme to another."

"About the incident where my sleepy big gray fox suddenly became a good wife"

Apart from anything else, Shinano's sudden seriousness made it difficult for Xia Bai to handle the situation.

Looking at the big gray fox's beautiful face that expressed determination, and then looking at the documents on the table, Xia Bai said helplessly: "Let's each take a step back. I will ask Beifa to bring dinner over now. We can eat while we cook. This should be fine, right?"

Shinano frowned slightly and repeated, "Commander, didn't you hear what I said? You should eat well."

Gently hugging Shinano, Xia Bai buried his head between her majestic mountains and said coquettishly, "Don't be so competitive. This won't happen again. This won't happen again."

In the end, under Xia Bai's use of his handsome appearance and shameless offensive, Shinano finally gave in and agreed to his request.

While cheering in his heart, Xia Bai also tried to test it without changing his expression: "There is still some time before Beifa comes here. Would you like to help me deal with the documents? Finish it as soon as possible so that I can rest earlier."

Shaking her head, Shinano replied coldly: "No, this is the commander's own business and has nothing to do with me."

With eyes wide open, Xia Bai said in surprise: "Didn't you ask me to have a good rest and eat well? Why did you suddenly change your attitude when I asked you to work?"

"Let's put it this way. After all, I am just a sleepy fox and cannot do this kind of work."

"you..."

Seeing Xia Bai's excited and unbelievable look, Shinano burst out laughing, hugged him to himself, and sat in the commander's seat.

"Hehehe~ I was lying to you. The commander looks so cute, I can't help teasing..." Stroking Xia Bai's soft hair, Shinano slowed down her tone and said softly, "The twelve people who help the commander handle government affairs will report tomorrow. Before then, I will help the commander."

"I am very good at handling these things, Commander, please don't be scared by my speed."

"Okay, okay, everyone knows that you are the former and majestic flagship of the Sakura Empire. It's a pity that you were captured by Antix and almost didn't come back."

After hearing what Xia Bai said, Shinano's fox ears drooped down, and he became furious and grabbed his face.

"Hate it, Commander, how can you say that about me? Observer Zero sent out the Arbitrator to capture me, and I fought one against five, and even severely injured one of them in my dream..."

With a smile in his eyes, Xia Bai teased him relentlessly, "Is it because you have an invincible Sanming sword that scares Ling-chan so much that he doesn't dare to come to you in the dream?"

"Commander, you want a beating!"

Chapter 70: A Small Account

"Salary and daily necessities purchase...sigh."

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Xia Bai sighed heavily.

He originally thought that he would be able to finish it before eleven o'clock, but the subsequent documents became more and more difficult to handle. Now it was around one o'clock in the morning, and Xia Bai was still working hard in the command room, struggling with this last document.

Slowly walking behind Xia Bai, Beifa served him a cup of coffee, then gently pressed his head with both hands and said softly: "Are you in trouble again, Master?"

"That's about right... Look." Picking up the document, Xia Bai handed it to Beifa and said helplessly, "The purchase of daily necessities is easy. We just need to regularly send people to coastal cities."

"But the salary of this ship girl is very difficult. Befa, you don't know the current situation of the port area."

Beifa raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh~ I'd like to hear more about it."

Beifa certainly understood what Xia Bai meant. She knew the financial situation of the port area better than Xia Bai. But as a maid, she only needed to listen attentively to what her master said.

Xia Bai glanced at the sleeping fox lying on the sofa and said in a low voice: "We have integrated several major camps, and the public property of the camps has been put into the warehouse. To say that we are rich enough to rival a country is a bit of an underestimation of our strength."

"Under normal circumstances, we are definitely not short of money, but now the most critical issue is the material currency and the red tip. These two things are very important to us."

The maintenance and construction of the port area requires these two things, the ship girls' attack and recovery also require these two things, and Xia Bai himself still needs these two things.
