I, Azure Commander!

To be honest, if it weren't for the "baptism" of so many ship girls, anyone would be a little nervous being stared at by such a beauty.

However, Lin Xiao seemed to have gotten used to such scenes. In addition, Heinrich's cheerful and even somewhat silly personality also made her astringent level far less than other older sisters, so he was indifferent. He was just a little puzzled as to why this girl was so clingy to him today.

"I say, Commander..."

"uh-huh?"

Ignoring the constant gazes from all around, Lin Xiao had already gotten used to these things. The onlookers naturally would not come over rashly, and basically kept a proper distance from them. Curious as they were, there were also many people who admired them. After all, the ship girls and commanders were considered military forces, especially the one in front of him who had such a grand ceremony and seemed to have a high status. Naturally, no ordinary person dared to disturb them casually.

Lin Xiao responded simply and looked at the girl next to him. This girl really couldn't hide her thoughts. Looking at her expression, Lin Xiao guessed that she probably had something to say to him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, actually. It's just... Commander, what do you think of my sister? Is she cute?"

"..."

Lin Xiao looked at her strangely. Why did she ask this question?

"If it's cute, it's pretty cute..."

"Then, if you have the opportunity to support such a lovely ship girl, and you can do whatever you want as long as you provide food and accommodation, what will you do, Commander?"

"puff--!"

Lin Xiao couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out, "No, what the hell?"

This girl's thinking span is really a bit too wide, and it completely confused him.

What the hell is keeping a sugar daddy?

Chapter 4: Secretary Group?

"So, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Lin Xiao still found it hard to understand, but Heinrich didn't seem to be ready to answer his question directly. He just kept asking, "Just tell me whether you are going to do it or not!"

"Well, let me think about it... Can I do anything?"

"Of course, ah, of course, some things require giving out rings."

"That sounds pretty good..."

Lin Xiao touched his chin and said, "Then can I ask her to wash my underwear and socks for me every day?"

"..."

Even Heinrich was somewhat dumbfounded.

Such a lovely and beautiful woman who can do whatever you want to her, but you let her do this?

The last thing Adalbert wanted to do was work, so washing clothes seemed to be considered work, right?

Heinrich had a headache. She pursed her lips and said, "Commander, Adalbert just wants to be a happy parasite and doesn't want to work. She's fine with anything except work. Is that okay?"

Lin Xiao realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, you're not serious, are you?"

Lin Xiao realized it later and looked at Heinrich in front of him with some shock.

"Of course! I just talked to Adalbert for a long time, but she always feels that she has to go to work after joining the port. If the commander agrees to let her slack off, I will go and bring her back now. She will be the ship girl of our port in the future. How about it?"

"Uh... To be honest, I thought you were joking just now. If you are serious, I have to think about it carefully."

"Oh."

Heinrich looked a little depressed. Although he had just said a lot of wonderful things to his sister, it did feel a bit like a lie. She was not sure what the commander was thinking. After all, the commander had the final say on matters in the port area. Maybe Nagashima could do that just because she was a senior in the port area?

Maybe when the port is built in the future, they will have to go out to work every day?

Heinrich was obviously overthinking it. If Lin Xiao in his previous life had changed from a hard-working player to a lazy player, then the current Lin Xiao had completely evolved from a lazy fish to a lazy king. As for things like attacking... except for tasks that must be completed, or the necessary means to retrieve his own ship girl, otherwise he would definitely not bother to organize an attack at all.

The issue that Lin Xiao had to consider was obviously different from what Heinrich was thinking.

After calming down and thinking carefully, Lin Xiao understood Heinrich's thoughts. He also learned that the two sisters seemed to have been together since they were born. They experienced the protracted war together and separated long after the war. Now they haven't seen each other for a long time. She is already a ship girl in the port area. Naturally, she feels a little distant from her sister. It is also human nature to want to keep her sister.

To put it bluntly, she is already in the trap, so wouldn't she drag her sister into it as well?

Hmm... something doesn't seem right. How come he is a trap? This should be called "one man's success brings prosperity to all his family members"! Adalbert had the opportunity to join their port district because of his sister's help!

Lin Xiao almost laughed out loud as he thought about it. Fantasy is fantasy, but the reality has to be carefully considered. The port area is rich now, so there is certainly no pressure to support a ship girl. But things are not as simple as Heinrich said, what is "supporting"? Although Lin Xiao has no idea of ​​salvaging the ship, if there is really a ship girl who wants to join the port area for some reason, it must be taken seriously.

Since the person has decided to join the port, he must take it seriously and be responsible for taking good care of him, both physically and mentally. This is no joke, but the most basic professional quality and moral requirement as a commander.

If Adalbert had this wish, he would certainly welcome it, but it would definitely not be the so-called "keeping" as Heinrich said. The joining of the ship girls to the port area was not a transaction, and this must be made clear.

"Heinrich, where is your sister now?"

Regarding this issue, Lin Xiao felt it was necessary to discuss it face to face.

"Ah? She...she just ran away and went to Senior Peter's place."

"Is that so? No rush then."

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Since she is your sister, if she really wants to, the port area will certainly welcome her. In addition, our port area is very free, and the ship girls can choose the way they like to live. This is the same for everyone... except Nagashima."

Lin Xiao added another half sentence at the end, and almost made himself laugh.

He seemed to be simply bullying Nagashima, although this was good for Nagashima, at least she was now communicating with her companions in Minato more than before, which was a good thing.

"Does that mean Adalbert can just sit there and do nothing?"

"Uh... um."

Lin Xiao nodded helplessly, so why do you care so much about the nickname "parasite"? Is this your true evaluation of your sister?

As for whether she is a parasite or not... that's what she says, but as a ship girl, how lazy can she be?

At least Nagashima would wash his own clothes occasionally! He felt bad asking the maid to do it all the time...

Adalbert just has a casual personality and doesn't like being forced to work. He doesn't really do nothing in the port area... At least he can help him attract firepower and play with the children...

Heinrich received a satisfactory answer. Prince Adalbert was not here at the moment, so the issue was put aside for the time being and left for later.

We talked as we walked, and took care of the children. Of course, with the Emperor around, we didn't have to worry about the children being too naughty. In short, we returned home safely. Together with the girls from home who didn't come, we briefly described the current situation in the port area, and also talked about our experiences along the way, including meeting the Emperor and others.

"Is Noshiro the secretary ship of the port area right now?"

After finishing their business, everyone gathered together to chat. The emperor had obviously realized some key issues in the previous "meeting". He looked at the girl sitting on the sofa and nodded thoughtfully.

"This child is reliable in handling things, but... my child, don't you think it's a bit too much for a girl to handle so many affairs in the port area?"

"Um...what do you mean, Frederick?"

"The number of ship girls in the port area is gradually increasing. Isn't it time to restore the secretary team?"

Chapter 5 A Few Things About the Secretary Group

"The number of ship girls in the port area is gradually increasing. Isn't it time to restore the secretary team?"

After Frederick the Great said this, Lin Xiao also remembered this. At the beginning, there was only one secretary ship in the game, and it could only be that one ship girl who was in the foreground. Although she was called a secretary ship, she was actually used by various LSPs to tease her. Every time she went online, the first thing she did was to poke her wife who was in the position of the secretary ship, especially when the special touch had not been harmonized, she would always poke at some strange places. As a result, those things were also remembered clearly by the ship girl at home, and they all had an impression of her as "a commander who likes to poke strange places."

Later, the special touch was harmonized, but the number of secretary ships was expanded from one to five, so that more wives could be hung.

I didn't think much about it at the time. Secretary ships or secretary teams didn't really have any real meaning in the game. After all, even if it was a secretary ship, it couldn't help you attack or receive commissions. Didn't the commander have to do everything himself? Thinking about it carefully, this obviously didn't make sense. Are secretary ships just for show?

Of course, now that it's reality, the situation has naturally become different, and it's completely different, or just the opposite... Lin Xiao is now a veritable hands-off boss. He doesn't care about anything and never works. All the affairs of the port are handed over to Noshiro, the secretary. It was okay when there were fewer people before, and there were fewer things to do, so it was easy to manage and there were no troubles. Now that there are more and more people, the port is slowly getting on track, and the troubles have increased a lot. Noshiro's pressure has been increasing recently.

Frederick the Great happened to mention the secretariat. Lin Xiao thought that it was time to rebuild the secretariat. Otherwise, it would be bad to leave everything to Noshiro, as it would be too tiring.

It’s just that the secretary ship in the game can be chosen and changed at will, but it’s different in reality. For example, if you want to let a child join the secretary group, it is obviously not possible, unless it is a reliable child like Z46, then you can consider it, but it’s still not a good idea. This kind of important position with many things to deal with is best handed over to reliable older sisters.

Even so, positions cannot be given randomly, because in reality there is another very important factor that must be considered - fairness.

What is meant here is of course fairness between the camps. With so many camps, it is impossible that all the five secretarial group members are from Donghuang or all are from Sakura Empire?

In the game, no one will have any objections and no one will care, but it is different in reality. Although the ship girls are different from humans and will not play out the intrigues of "palace fighting dramas", if they are too biased towards any one camp, it will definitely make the ship girls of other camps feel uncomfortable, so the camp distribution of secretary ships must be relatively balanced.

Therefore, the number of members of the secretariat group may not necessarily be five. It can be ten, or even more... It's all just a matter of words from Lin Xiao.

Of course, we don’t need so many people at the moment, and we can slowly add more staff later.

"Well, my child, what do you think?"

The emperor sat down beside him slowly, with a questioning look in his bright yellow eyes.

"Well... of course we have to set up a secretarial team. Noshiro has been working too hard lately, and we can't trouble her for everything in the future. However... in my opinion, we don't have a formal port yet, so there's no need to rush to make everything strict. We can first add two or three secretarial ships to the current basis, and then wait until the port is officially built, and then improve the relevant system. How about it?"

"Of course you have the final say in these matters, my child."

It should clearly be about the loyalty and obedience of the ship girl to her commander, but when this sentence came out of the emperor's mouth, it clearly felt wrong. It was more like a mother's doting on her child, which made Lin Xiao somewhat at a loss.

"Let's do this for now... Iron Blood has quite a few people on its side, so the affairs of Iron Blood will be temporarily handed over to you, the Great Emperor. Similarly, as for the White Eagle side..."

Lin Xiao's eyes wavered between St. Louis and Lexington, and he was undecided for a moment. Mrs. Yorktown felt that such a job of managing things was not suitable for her.

Both of them are reliable ship girls, but based on his current thoughts, Saint Aunt is better?

After all, Aunt Saint is her wife, and she has made such great contributions to the Hong Kong area, so it is natural for Lin Xiao to be biased towards her.

But if we just appoint St. Louis, it would seem unfair to Lexington. After all, she is an excellent ship girl who is no less capable than St. Louis.

It would be great if Enterprise was here... Everyone must recognize the spiritual leader of White Eagle, or it could be Garden, who, although a little silly, is still very reliable and able to convince the people. Otherwise, we can't just ask Xiao Jiajia to be in charge as in the game plot, right?

It's not that he looks down on Xiao Jia Jia. In fact, Lin Xiao knows that although Xiao Jia Jia has small breasts and is a little short, she is actually very capable and is more than qualified to be a secretary ship. It's just that she is playful after all and has a childish personality. She probably doesn't really want to be a secretary ship, so Lin Xiao doesn't want to make things difficult for her.

Of course, the main consideration is that an academy will be opened in the port area in the future. If little Gaga becomes a secretary ship, how can we send her to school?

It seems a bit far-fetched, so who should I choose?

Fortunately, St. Louis didn't seem to be very interested in being a secretary ship. He also saw Lin Xiao's dilemma, so he took the initiative to say, "Commander, don't consider me for the secretary ship for now."

In Lin Xiao's somewhat puzzled eyes, she continued: "After all, I also have company affairs to manage here. If I continue to serve as a secretary ship, it will inevitably be delayed... Of course, if the commander strongly wishes, I can push all the company's affairs out..."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Xiao nodded in understanding. Yes, Aunt Saint still had a lot of things to deal with, so this position could only be given to...

"So Commander, what do you think of Helena?"

……

Lexington, who had just shown joy and called St. Louis a good sister in her heart, had a frozen expression. Helena, who was passing by and was suddenly pulled over by her sister, was even more confused. She blinked her eyes and looked at the people in front of her with an innocent face.

"what……?"

"what?!"

Chapter 6: Troublesome Juniors

"Commander, I..."

Helena looked at her sister in bewilderment. She was just passing by and wanted to get a box of milk from the refrigerator, so why did she suddenly become a secretary ship?

Lin Xiao had a headache and sighed deeply. He knew that this would definitely be a troublesome matter. Not only between the camps, but there would also be some conflicts and disputes within the same camp.

"Commander, don't worry about it. I am just recommending you. This matter depends on your own opinion and you have to decide for yourself."

St. Louis saw his distress and Helena's troubles, so he added.

Lin Xiao's headache didn't get much less. That was true, but how could such a thing be so easy to decide?

Even if it is temporary, you are letting her be your secretary ship now, and then a more reliable ship girl comes, and you kick her out in the blink of an eye?

Of course it doesn't matter in the game, but it certainly can't be done in reality, otherwise how many people will be hurt? Even if the ship girl doesn't say anything on the surface and obeys the commander's decision, she must be unhappy in her heart. At most, she can say that each of the major camps will add one more candidate. This is the only way.

As for Helena...although she was excellent, she still felt a little too weak. I always felt that she didn't have enough deterrent power. After much deliberation, Lin Xiao finally made the decision and gave this important task to Lexington.

Mrs. Lie was delighted now, her joy was beyond words. She hugged Lin Xiao's neck and kissed him on the face, which immediately attracted countless teasing looks. Mrs. Lie was warm and generous, not afraid at all. Even though Lin Xiao was thick-skinned, he blushed a little.

The White Eagles have been dealt with, but the Royals are easy to deal with. There are not many reliable ship girls in the entire Royals. The tsundere flat queen has no dignity and will only jump up and hit you on the knee. The war-weary old woman is good at fighting, but she is really not good at managing things...

After careful calculation, only Guanghui’s wife and Big Mobile are the most reliable. Now that Big Mobile is here, she can take a seat first, which is a perfect solution.

Big Brother certainly had no objection to this. She just liked to eat, and as long as it didn't affect her eating, it didn't matter whether she was a secretary or not.

The Imperial Sakura Empire can still be replaced by the Imperial Sakura Empire. With the addition of Amagi, the Imperial Sakura Empire will have filled up its two quotas. As for Lady Miko...she only needs to be responsible for being cute. This is also the tradition of the Imperial Sakura Empire...

The other camps now have very few ship girls, so we will not consider them for the time being. Even so, four more secretary group members, Frederick the Great, Lexington, George V and Amagi, were added at once, bringing the number of secretary ships to five.

Of course, the fact that the Sakura Empire had an extra secretary ship was also explained to everyone by Lin Xiao. In the future, camps with more people would also add an extra person in charge to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Noshiro is still the main secretary ship, and the others are members of the secretarial group. Everyone is in charge of the ship girls and trivial matters of their respective camps, and the summary is handed over to Noshiro to handle. In this way, Noshiro's pressure is immediately reduced a lot, and he no longer has to be busy from morning to night every day.

After the tasks of the secretarial team were assigned, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, all the important matters had been discussed. It was getting dark and it was almost time for dinner. A few girls who could cook wanted to go to the kitchen, but they thought about how many ship girls there were at home, and there were a few foodies, and they didn't know how long it would take to cook. So they finally gave up and chose to go out for a meal.

Of course, now that there are more shipgirls, it is not easy to find a restaurant to sit around a table together. There are no tables that big, so we can only pay for the venue. It is a luxury, but it doesn’t cost much. The interest generated by the fraction of Saint Aunt’s assets in the bank every day is more than that...
