I, Azure Commander!

Of course there will be resistance, but in front of the Sirens' powerful technology and the overwhelming mass-produced warships that can be infinitely rebuilt and reborn, the warships that humans once took pride in seem so fragile and vulnerable.

How can a huge warship aim at a tiny Sirens? Moreover, the Sirens' small bodies also make their speed and flexibility far beyond the bulky warships. On the contrary, in front of Sirens, human warships are like standing still targets, and every shot is accurate.

Coupled with the mysterious technology possessed by the Sirens, whose attack and defense capabilities far exceed those of existing human technology, the outcome of this war is naturally self-evident.

The result of the battle was the total defeat of mankind. It completely lost all the sea areas, and even human civilization regressed a lot. Development stagnated and the whole world became lifeless.

Fortunately, the Sirens don't seem to have any intention of further attacking the land, otherwise, it is not impossible that human civilization would be destroyed.

However, things are not completely hopeless.

Just when human society was shrouded in the cloud of despair, creatures called "KanColles" came into being.

They are girls awakened from steel, carrying the beautiful wishes of people in the old times. They possess powerful weapons called "ship suits", can sail freely on the sea, have very strong combat capabilities and the potential to rival the Sirens.

Like the Sirens, their military power far exceeds that of humans, but compared to the Sirens, they were born out of beautiful thoughts and blessings, so they are often more willing to cooperate with humans, entrusting their lives to the humans who awakened them from their slumber in the sea, helping them set up ports and fight against the Sirens.

And those humans who can awaken the girls sleeping in steel are called "Commanders".

When human warships and armies are defeated, the commander and the ship girls are the last beacons of human civilization and the only hope. They are determined to retake the sea and rebuild civilization.

As it turned out, they did it. Although they did not completely take back the sea area from the Sirens, and the part they took back was less than one-tenth of the entire ocean, it at least gave human civilization room to breathe and allowed people to see the dawn of hope and the possibility of completely defeating the Sirens one day and expelling all of them from this world.

Therefore, after finally taking a breath from the devastating disaster, the United Government of Humanity came into being. The most core, powerful and influential organization in the United Government is the Maritime Administration.

This department, which is mostly composed of ship girls, has become the forefront in guiding human civilization back to glory.

These are what Xiao Tiancheng told him about the past of this world.

It's a pity that people still seem to think things are too simple. The Sirens are so mysterious that to this day, people's understanding of them is still pitifully limited. Even now, when we look back at the great war decades ago, it is hard to say whether it was the alliance of the commander and the ship girls that defeated the Sirens, or whether the Sirens voluntarily retreated after a war that was like playing house.

The evidence is that decades later, the current number and level of warship girls are much higher than in the past. But even so, after decades, humans are still struggling to recover the sea. For so many years, they have not even been able to take back one-tenth of the sea from the Sirens, and it seems that they have not even taken back one-twentieth...

However, no matter what, in the past few decades, the Sirens did not seem to launch a full-scale invasion like when they first appeared. Instead, they were allowed to take back the sea area bit by bit with difficulty. Although conflicts have never been absent, in general, the world situation is still stable, and even much more peaceful than before the Sirens appeared.

And at least it can remain stable until Siren changes her mind...

Lin Xiao is not from this world, so he doesn't have many feelings about these things. He just feels that this seems to have many similarities with the settings of Azur Lane in his previous life. Although there are some differences in details, the general logic is the same.

No matter how you put it, after all, we have come to this world, and it is necessary to understand these things.

At least now Lin Xiao has a rough idea of ​​the current situation of the world he lives in.

At the same time, he was basically certain that the child in front of him seemed to be the little Tiancheng that he had promised in the game.

In order to confirm this, he specifically asked Xiao Tiancheng what he liked to do most when he was with her.

As a result, Xiao Tiancheng answered without hesitation: "The master likes Tiancheng to stay in the secretarial group the most. There is no work. He just touches Tiancheng's head from time to time and pokes Tiancheng's cheek with his fingers."

Look, what else can I say? There's no escape!

Logically speaking, who can resist Xiao Tiancheng's head-patting voice?

But if that's the case, according to Xiao Tiancheng, the port area he used to be in the game... maybe he also traveled here intact? And it was three years earlier than him?

Lin Xiao felt that this matter could not be explained so simply. After all, these three years were only the time he disappeared. What about before these three years?

What about the past in Xiaotiancheng’s memory?

In short, these things may not be understood in a short time, and Lin Xiao does not have any obsession to get to the bottom of it. His current idea is very simple -

If all the girls in his port are present, does it mean that the ship girls belonging to him are now scattered throughout the world?

In addition to Little Sweet Orange, there is also the adorable Prince Snow, the tsundere Haman, the "wire-filled" Chang Meng, the soft but profiteer Akashi Cat, the Thumb Sucker, Tongzhi-chan, and the capable royal maids, a group of aircraft carrier mothers, and battleship big sisters, mine, mine, all of them are mine, all of them are my wife!

He was a little excited for a moment, but he could only think about it, and then he felt disappointed and helpless. Not to mention that he didn't know where those ship girls were, they just showed up one by one. It was okay for a kid like Xiao Tiancheng, but if he really saw those grown-up girls, Lin Xiao, a otaku who had hardly talked to girls, would probably be so nervous that he would collapse into a string. He would stare with his eyes wide open and stumble, and he might not be able to say a complete sentence...

Chapter 6: Commander brand dried salted fish?

After briefly understanding the situation in this world, Lin Xiao returned to the present and began to worry.

He understood the principles, such as atonement and what should be done, but the problem now was...how was he going to leave this deserted island?

"Yeah, right!"

When Lin Xiao was having a headache, Xiao Tiancheng suddenly patted his head and said, "Master, shall we go back quickly?"

"Go back? Where?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Go back to the ship..." Little Tiancheng gestured, "It's like this, Tiancheng accepted a commission to escort a passenger ship. Just now, when we were patrolling the surrounding waters, we discovered the Siren ship here, and then we found the master. Now the passenger ship should still be staying where it is, waiting for Tiancheng to return."

Although we have not seen each other for a long time, I really want to stay alone with my master for a while and talk more, but I have already accepted the commission and it is not easy to give up halfway.

Besides, it was fine for her to be a free ship girl before, as long as she could support herself. But now that the master has returned, the original port has long been abandoned and turned into ruins by the Sirens. The port must be rebuilt, and building a port requires money. She has to work hard to help the master make money.

After hearing Xiao Tiancheng's words, Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, he didn't have to worry about how to leave this isolated island and return to human society.

But...it was said that there was a merchant ship. Lin Xiao stood on the shore and looked around, but could not see any shadow at all. He estimated that it was still some distance away from here. How to get there?

Although Lin Xiao can swim, this distance...

For a otaku with little physical strength, it is really difficult.

Xiao Tiancheng seemed to be aware of this problem. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Master, Tiancheng will carry you over?"

"Forehead......"

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched. He looked at Xiao Tiancheng's small body, then looked at himself.

Although he is a shameful otaku who probably can't even beat a goose, and is a bit skinny, he is still about 1.8 meters tall.

A 1.80-meter-tall man is being carried on the back by such a little girl?

Although it is not impossible, and knowing that Xiao Tiancheng's strength is probably no different from carrying air, but no matter what, Lin Xiao still feels a little weird.

Seeing Lin Xiao's hesitation, Xiao Tiancheng frowned in a dilemma and said hesitantly: "Sure enough, Master, you still prefer to be hugged? But Tiancheng's arms are a bit short, it may not be easy to hold the Master while sailing, I'm sorry..."

Is this what you are worried about? This is obviously not the point of the problem...

Lin Xiao scratched his hair, it was hard to imagine the scene of this child holding him in his arms like a princess.

So, after all, he is still...carrying it on his back?

Even though it would feel terrible, it was better than holding him in my arms. Or maybe he could just let Xiao Tiancheng drag him along the way, grabbing his collar and dragging him all the way like a dried salted fish hanging at the stern?

This is not embarrassing, but I am afraid that when I get there, I will be missing an arm or a leg, or have a few broken bones...

In short, it was difficult to deal with it no matter what. Xiao Tiancheng couldn't make up his mind and kept staring at him with a questioning look. Lin Xiao wavered for a while, then simply gritted his teeth and lay down on the ground like a salted fish, lying straight, and then said to Xiao Tiancheng: "Xiao Tiancheng, just treat me as a dried salted fish and carry me over."

After thinking about it, this seems to be the most reasonable method.

"That...okay then."

The clever Xiao Tiancheng would naturally have thought of such a method, but she always felt it was not a good idea for her to say such a thing, so she did not say it out loud.

But since the master said so, Xiao Tiancheng no longer hesitated, walked forward, and with a "hey", he carried Lin Xiao, who was standing straight, on his shoulders.

Although this scene is still very shocking, it is better than being carried by Princess Tiancheng.

"Let's go~"

After going out for patrol, he actually found his master. Xiao Tiancheng seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. He jumped into the sea, spread out his legs, and sailed steadily on the sea.

After all, it is a battle cruiser, and the speed of Xiao Tiancheng is not fast, so Lin Xiao, who is not feeling comfortable at the moment, probably needs to endure for a while.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well think about something to divert my attention.

Besides, he suddenly became a commander, and a commander who was heavily in debt, so there were a lot of things to consider.

So many girls who used to be in Hong Kong are probably now scattered all over the world. It may not be easy to find them back.

After all, the sea areas recaptured by humans are still very limited, and it is not easy to travel between different regions. Moreover, although the technology in this world is relatively advanced and has a relatively developed network, due to the influence of the interference devices set up by the Siren, not to mention between regions, even within the same area, they are forced to establish different local area networks, and large-scale network communications are simply impossible.

In terms of cross-regional communication, if the regions are close together, it is not too bad, as they can set up sites at the edge of the region to conduct manual information transmission. However, if the regions are far away... the only way is to send letters, entrust them to passing merchant ships or passenger ships, and deliver them to the local post office.

Therefore, the idea that if you post a message somewhere and wave your hand, countless shipgirls will come to you is simply untenable. Moreover, due to the influence of the Sirens, the online community in this world is not as developed as in the previous life. Moreover, not all shipgirls like to surf the Internet. It is better to say that most of them do not like to surf the Internet. At most, they use the convenient functions brought by the Internet. After all, they are shipgirls, the only force against the Sirens, and they have to fight.

There is not much time to entertain them.

Although the current stalemate has lasted for a long time, the ship girls no longer need to go to the battlefield as they did in the past to tear apart the haze of despair for human civilization, open up navigable routes, or resist the invasion of the Sirens.

Of course, the Sirens will occasionally launch attacks of varying sizes, but with the continuous expansion of the group of ship girls and commanders, the combat effectiveness of the human side has also been greatly improved. If the Sirens do not launch a large-scale invasion, the advancement of the front line will be difficult anyway, so there is no need to keep your nerves tense.

Of course, there are still many ship girls who stay in the front line to fight, or follow the commander to guard a sea area, but ship girls who don’t like these can live freely in human society and work and live like ordinary humans.

These ship girls are collectively referred to as "free ship girls". Some of them will choose to go to the Maritime Administration to take on some missions to escort or clear out Siren ships to maintain their own supplies, while others simply give up their identity as ship girls, completely integrate into human society, and live as a human being.

These are their freedoms and no one can interfere.

Allowing the ship girls to choose the life they like without any worries is also a very important significance of the existence of the Maritime Bureau. Although in most cases, the ship girls will still be encouraged to join a commander. After all, a ship girl without a commander is like a rootless duckweed, without any ties. The ship girls are born out of longing, and such a ship girl without emotional sustenance may suddenly disappear one day.

It is of course good to let the ship girls choose the life they want, but this also means that many ship girls are now likely to have integrated into urban life, hidden in the crowds of people. Coupled with the Siren's sea blockade, these many factors combined together make it extremely difficult to find the ship girls in their port area. Lin Xiao is in the dark anyway, and can't find any good solution for the time being.

Besides, he has nothing now, not to mention the port area, he is even penniless. It is another matter whether his identity as a commander can be recognized. His understanding of the commander and the ship girls is only limited to the content in the game. What will it matter even if he is asked to find the people now?

If we find it back, will we all suffer the same fate as him?

Alas, it seems that this matter cannot be rushed, and we can only take it one step at a time...

----------

As a prospective freshman at the Barbarossa Naval Academy, one of the top five naval academies in the world, Fang Kang is now nervous and excited.

He had loved shipgirls since he was a child and longed for the life of commanders, so he worked hard and studied diligently. He finally got a recommendation from their county and passed the famously harsh commander qualification assessment smoothly. He became a commander cadet at the Naval Academy and obtained the qualification for initial construction.

Now he is taking a ride on a boat to the nearby Shuibo Port Maritime Bureau branch. With the certificate in his hand, he will go to the person in charge there to get a free construction opportunity. As long as the construction is successful, he will have his own ship girl and become a trainee commander in the true sense.

"Don't be too nervous."

Beside him, a hand wearing a white glove patted his shoulder and said in an experienced and mature tone: "Since you have passed the commander qualification assessment, it means that you are qualified to be a commander. The first construction of a newcomer will basically be successful, with only very few cases of failure. Relax and build boldly."

"Well, thank you, senior!"

Fang Kang nodded and looked at the young man in white navy uniform with admiration.

This senior is called Du Ming. He was once a student of the Barbarossa Naval Academy. Now he has successfully graduated and become a formal commander.

Behind him were two ship girls. One of them was shorter, carrying a school bag and had short white hair. She was the senior's initial ship, Bulldog.

The other one is more powerful. Unlike the big bulldog who is a destroyer, she has a very plump figure, tall stature, beautiful blonde hair, and tentacle-like hair on her head. She is Wasp, a rare aircraft carrier girl!

This is exactly the reason why he respects and envies this predecessor. Although students who successfully graduate from the Naval Academy can get a second chance to build for free, unlike the first time which is mostly successful, the second time of construction has a high probability of failure. No ship girl can be built, and only some equipment or even equipment parts can be obtained.

This senior not only built it successfully, but also built an aircraft carrier. Among the graduates of that year, he was very famous...

Chapter 7 On the Passenger Ship

There are different types of ship types for KanColle. These are the most basic contents of the commander course and are also compulsory courses for all commanders.

In terms of general division of labor, the ship girls can be divided into two categories. One is the vanguard in the front row, responsible for reconnaissance, guarding, assault and other tasks, and the other is the main force in the back row. They often have powerful firepower and are the absolute main force against the Sirens.

The pioneers in the front row are often called small ships, including destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers and other categories. As ship girls, they often appear as loli or girls, while the main forces in the back row are called large ships, including aircraft carriers, battleships, battlecruisers and other categories. They basically appear in this world as older sisters, with good figures and strong strength.

Although the girls on small ships are also very good, but in comparison, the role of small ship girls as vanguards in battle is still limited, and they often need to fight close to the enemy and bear more risks. The main ship girls on large ships are different. They are the main output players on the battlefield and have the ability to influence the entire battle situation. Basically, they only need to stay in the back and output with peace of mind.

Therefore, as a commander, if you really have to make a choice, except for some guys with special fetishes, most people will still choose battleships and aircraft carriers.

However, the reality is not a game, and there is not so much room for choice. In comparison, whether it is construction or salvage, the probability of small ships appearing seems to be higher than that of large ships. Coupled with the high cost of construction and the low probability, most commanders do not actually have the main rear-row ship girls. Many trainee commanders have graduated from the Naval Academy and have worked for many years, but they still only have one initial ship, most of which are destroyers.

When Senior Du Ming first built it, he also produced a destroyer, a white-skinned ordinary-level destroyer - the Bulldog. All in all, his luck was not very good.

But it doesn't matter. Your initial ship has a light cruiser or even a heavy cruiser, right? Some people have a rare blue skin or even an elite purple skin, right? It doesn't matter. Many people have finally completed their homework, and the second construction opportunity they received only gave them a technology box, and some even only got some white equipment enhancement parts. But what about Du Ming?

He built it successfully and had his second shipgirl, and she was a battleship at that!

A rare blue-skinned battleship - the aircraft carrier Wasp!

It is not just a light aircraft carrier, but a real aircraft carrier, which is of great value.

When he led the newly built Wasp out of the warehouse of the Barbarossa Naval Academy, his steps were so arrogant and his expression was so smug. The guys who used to jump in front of him to show off their light cruisers and heavy cruisers now had gloomy faces. On the surface, they pretended to be envious, but in fact, they were envious to death. Especially when they looked at the technology boxes and even equipment parts in their hands, the comparison was even more sad.

Although there were people who were luckier than Du Ming in that class, those guys were just idiots and hateful seals. But what about Du Ming?

His initial ship was the Bulldog. He was a true African at the beginning. He suddenly left Africa and joined Europe and built a regular ship directly. He stole the limelight. At one time, almost all Africans of that generation knew about this guy who "betrayed the organization".

Fang Kang was very envious of this senior Du Ming.

Although for him now, as long as he can have his own ship girl, he will be satisfied, even if it is a destroyer, even if it is a white ordinary class, it is still a ship girl, but human desires will always continue to expand. After meeting Senior Du Ming and hearing about his deeds, Fang Kang began to look forward to building a battleship himself.

Of course, destroyers are cute, but cuteness does not come without a price. Many of them are not very mature mentally, and have no ability to take care of themselves. They need to be taken care of in many aspects. However, battleships are different. They are often mature and reliable, and can take care of the commanders who have just changed their identities and are still ignorant. They also have good figures and often have outstanding bridges...

Cough cough--

In short, Fang Kang took a look at the Wasp following Senior Du Ming and began to look forward to his own initial ship.
