I, Azure Commander!

The situation of the ship girls above level 70 is unclear, but Lin Xiao has a rough idea of ​​what the level 120 ship girls mean, after all, he had heard about it from the London Maritime Director.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the number of level 120 ship girls in his family, the level 120 ship girls native to this world may not even be able to reach a fraction of their own port area.

"About a hundred or so levels?"

So, Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.

Ship girls of level 100 or so should be rare enough, and are rarely seen. If you see a ship girl that meets the requirements in the local summary information, pay a little attention to it. If you think there is a possibility, tell him the news and he can verify it himself.

By then, we will find the older girl in the family... or maybe the younger girl, anyway, a girl with a high level of practice. There may be other ship girls around her, and they may know the news about other ship girls. If we pull out the radish and bring out the mud, maybe we can continue to do this endlessly.

"……All right."

Although he was somewhat speechless and still quite skeptical about what Lin Xiao said, and planned to contact the headquarters immediately to verify the information, but at least on the surface, Director Peter still responded and agreed to Lin Xiao's request.

"There is no problem with this condition. However, regarding your first condition... although it is not impossible, it is a bit difficult for the time being."

Peter Strasser spread his hands. No matter what, the combat effectiveness of the opponent's subordinates was indeed incredibly strong, and their basic qualities as a commander seemed to be relatively good at the moment. So in such a special situation, issuing the port area in advance was not an absolutely prohibited option.

but……

"It's a little hard to find a port area that meets your requirements. I have to go back and look through the information. Most likely, there is none. If you are not in a hurry, you can renovate the existing port area. If this is feasible, I do have a few locations that are more suitable for you..."

Although the other party said that the location doesn't matter, having more ship girls is certainly a good thing, but it is not easy to support so many ship girls, so there must be at least enough commissions nearby to accept, and... such a good combat power is also a very useful patch package for the Maritime Administration.

When the time comes, we can discuss with the ship girls of the Maritime Administration to find out where the situation is most unstable and where they need to worry most frequently, and send him there directly. Then the world will be peaceful from then on and they won't have to worry about it anymore.

Peter Strasser doesn't have to worry about the place being too dangerous and something might happen... The combat capability this guy has shown so far is stronger than that of their entire Maritime Administration, and the port area is within the safe waters, so how dangerous can it be?

At most, it would require more sorties to repel the Sirens. If it were an ordinary port, it would probably be a headache, after all, the ship girls also need to rest. This one... If the number of sorties is reduced, she is afraid that the ship girls in this guy's family will take the opportunity of sorties to go for a ride on the sea and start a fight.

"Rebuilding it... is not impossible. It's better this way. After all, everything is new. It's just..."

Lin Xiao frowned hesitantly, "This will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Hmm, probably around a few hundred million."

The requirements for port construction are not low, and there are many necessary supporting facilities. In addition, the other party needs an ultra-large port, so naturally a lot of money will be spent.

"Ah this?"

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. How many hundreds of millions? He had 10 or 20 million yuan in his hand, but 100 million was impossible, let alone several hundreds of millions.

"Don't worry, Commander Lin Xiao, the Maritime Administration will help you with the money."

“So generous?”

Even though he knew that the Maritime Administration was wealthy, Lin Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath. He then looked at the director of the Maritime Administration in front of him with some suspicion. There is no such thing as a free lunch. This director... isn't he trying to take advantage of him?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly became shocked.

Peter Strasser knew what he was thinking, otherwise he would have taken off his little leather shoes and thrown them hard in his face, even at the risk of being beaten up by his ship girl.

But at this moment, she just looked at the shocked Lin Xiao with satisfaction, thinking to herself, what big boss, isn't he still short of money?

"After all, you said that you won't ask for any reward for the expedition against the Sirens, so I will naturally show some sincerity."

Of course, she is not so exaggerated as to casually throw out hundreds of millions of dollars on a whim. The Maritime Administration is responsible for building the port area, although that refers to the port area of ​​normal standards. The conditions of this person are a bit exaggerated, and generally not so straightforward, but the combat effectiveness of the ship girls under his command is strong!

Putting aside the matter of conquering the Sirens later, just letting him fill the bottomless pit of resources that has been keeping them busy and exhausted, with no commander willing to guard it and no one capable of guarding it, is already a good loss for the Maritime Administration.

The amount of resources and repairs they spend on that place every year, including subsidies for strike ship girls and commissions, etc., adds up to tens of millions. Spending that money over a few years to completely solve a problem is not a loss no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, the Maritime Administration's wealth is not just talk. Spending several hundred million yuan has only made them a little tight on finances for the past two months.

Especially for an important place like Lombardy, with many sea areas under its jurisdiction nearby, the funds allocated by the General Administration every year are in the hundreds of billions or trillions.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Peter Strasser felt that he did not suffer any loss, and Lin Xiao certainly felt that he did not suffer any loss either. By letting the girls in his family go on a mission, they could not only obtain the port area in advance, but also saved several hundred million yuan in expenses. It was definitely a huge profit.

"Oh, that's not all. The credit for this sortie... well, including the last one, will all be recorded for you. If everything goes well, when you graduate from the Maritime Administration, you will probably be promoted directly from private to lieutenant, and maybe even directly to captain."

Lin Xiao was very familiar with this military rank. After all, it was also in the game. Although he rarely participated in exercises later, he had been a marshal when the server was first launched.

In reality, military rank is naturally not determined by exercises, but by merit, contribution to the Maritime Administration and the people, and performance in large or important battles. To put it more clearly, it is military merit.

"What is the monthly allowance for a captain-level commander?"

Hearing the other party say this, Lin Xiao immediately asked expectantly.

"Ah? Subsidies... these are usually just icing on the cake, right? For a captain, if I remember correctly, it should be about one million? In addition, there will be merit recognition every year. If there are no major mistakes, you can get 600 merit points. Merit points can be exchanged for what you need in the Maritime Administration system. After you become a formal commander and have an identity in the Maritime Administration system, the Naval Academy will explain these to you in detail."

"Okay, thank you very much, Chief."

Lin Xiao nodded in understanding and then stood up. The matter was almost discussed. Today's communication with the Director of the Maritime Administration went unexpectedly smoothly and there were even some unexpected surprises. He was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Then we won't disturb you from your work, Director. Just come and let me know when you are ready to leave. I will call all the ship girls at home to help."

Of course, except for Shimakaze, Atlanta can go, but not to the front line. Just stay beside him and defend him. As for the other girls, they are all above level 100, and some are level 120. There is nothing to worry about. Just be careful and treat it as having fun.

Lin Xiao really didn't take the five Sirens seriously. After all, it wasn't like their port had to fight the five Sirens alone. There were so many ship girls recruited from the Maritime Administration and other places to escort them. It was enough for his girl to just provide output from the back.

This is a very simple matter. As long as there is enough oil, there is no need to worry about insufficient firepower.

Peter Strasser had no intention of keeping him, and happily stood up and saw them out.

Lin Xiao felt that she had made no loss, and Peter also felt that he had made great money. They spent some money to solve two problems that had been bothering her at once. She just felt that the office work afterwards was... well, processing documents was still painful.

After bidding farewell to the Director of the Maritime Administration, Lin Xiao could not wait to leave the Maritime Administration. He said hello to the lovely girl Z28 at the door, and hurried back to tell everyone the good news.

Knowing that there would be a new port area soon, the Gridley sisters, who had been unhappy because they could not live with the commander, suddenly became delighted. Bumblebee still had that somewhat silly smile on his face, pushing his motorcycle to take Lin Xiao for a ride.

Lin Xiao had to go back to the Naval Academy, so he refused. While Yorktown was saying goodbye to Lin Xiao and Bumblebee picked up a little girl with one hand, and took Morrie and Craven away for a race.

After that, when I came back to eat, I would definitely be scolded by York City again.

But it doesn't matter, just say it, what else can I do? Let's play, I was wrong, I will definitely dare to do it next time...

Back at the academy, everyone was naturally happy to hear the news, but none of them were as ecstatic as Bumblebee and the others. After all, they were already living with the commander.

For ship girls, the real port area is the one around the commander. A formal port area is of course good, but it doesn't matter if there is none.

However, Big Brother took advantage of this excuse and said that he was happy today and ate three more bowls of rice than usual.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Xiao moved a small stool to the balcony to bask in the sun. Noshiro walked quietly behind him, also moved a stool and sat behind him, stretched out her little hand, placed it on his shoulder, and began to massage gently.

Lin Xiao seemed to be used to this, so he just lay in Noshiro's arms, which made the beautiful woman glare at him, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"How does the Commander feel about that Chief Peter Strasser he met this morning?"

Lin Xiao blocked the sunlight with the book in her hand, enjoying Noshiro's massage while casually browsing the book, when she heard Noshiro asking this question.

"Ah? What do you feel like..."

When he heard Noshiro's question, he immediately showed a puzzled expression, and then met Noshiro's eyes which were also full of question marks. The two looked at each other, and were both confused.

"what?"

"……what?"

"Commander, don't you want to salvage the boat?" Noshiro looked stunned.

"Why would you want to salvage the ship? He's the director of the Maritime Bureau, and we just met. Besides, there are still so many ship girls at home that haven't been found..."

Chapter 57: Don’t you pay attention to time when doing good things?

For the time being, Lin Xiao really had no intention of salvaging the boat.

Although that Peter Strasser was indeed very beautiful, and there was no such ship in their port, the reality was not a game. Building a ship or salvaging a ship was not an easy task, especially since the other party was the director of the Maritime Administration, an old veteran who had been in the world for who knows how many years. Even though he had only been in this world for a short time, Lin Xiao knew very well how difficult it was to salvage such a ship girl.

It was already an unprecedented event that Instructor Rodney from the Naval Academy was rescued by Tang Xiaojiu. It would be several times more difficult to rescue the Director of the Maritime Administration.

Of course, difficulty is one aspect, but the more important thing is that his own girl has not been found yet. Lin Xiao has some lingering pressure in his heart and does not want to waste energy on anything other than finding his own ship girl.

In the face of Lin Xiao's answer, Noshiro was obviously a little surprised. In this respect, he was quite different from previous commanders.

"Even before, when they saw a new ship girl, they would call her their wife, and then ignore us old and ugly people?"

They have really become familiar with each other. Noshiro is still serious in character, but in life he has obviously become more relaxed and often jokes with Lin Xiao.

This is of course a good thing. Lin Xiao is also happy to see Nodai's change. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that exaggerated, right?"

"Of course not?" Noshiro opened her eyes wide in grievance, revealing a pitiful look, "When we first met, she always called me 'Noshiro my wife', 'Noshiro is the best in the world' and so on, and she even asked me to be a secretary ship. But later, when new people came to the port, she directly fired me. We are obviously married, but I may not see her once a week... Sigh, poor Noshiro, I don't know when I will be abandoned by the commander again. I live in fear all day long, afraid that I will do something wrong and make the master angry, and be sent to the cold palace..."

Although it was half-joking in nature, what Noshiro said was obviously not nonsense, but something that actually happened. Lin Xiao immediately burst into a silly smile and didn't know how to respond.

"How could that be possible? Noshiro is my wife, how could I…"

"Okay, okay... But, how many wives do you have, Commander?"

As Noshiro spoke, he gently lifted Lin Xiao's head off his body, "Okay, it's time for a nap. Sheffield has already made the bed this morning, so go to bed."

“Noshiro…”

Lin Xiao turned around and suddenly held the girl's hand until her face turned red. Then he said awkwardly, "That...it will never happen again. Never again. I promise."

Noshiro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Okay, Commander, I was just joking, why do you suddenly care so much? You were so thick-skinned before."

"Maybe it's because I feel guilty."

Lin Xiao also smiled, but it was a fake smile and he shrugged helplessly.

"But the future is unpredictable, right?"

Noshiro seemed to see things more clearly than him: "A commander is always a commander. The responsibilities you shoulder mean that you cannot focus on a particular ship girl for long, so we actually never ask for any permanent favor."

"As long as we have that period of time, we will be very happy... Commander, I have been very happy during this period of time. Thank you."

The beautiful girl smiled gently, her eyes and eyebrows as soft as water.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything else, but suddenly hugged the girl in front of him very hard.

"What happened? It's so sudden..."

Noshiro responded by hugging him and resting her head on his shoulder, "Alright, alright, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have joked with you. Really, you cunning guy. I knew you were going to do this, but I still did whatever you wanted."

"Noshiro." Lin Xiao had a warm smile on his face.

"Ok?"

"I like you."

"..."

The girl with a slightly red face did not respond, but just greedily inhaled the smell of the sun that had just been basking on the person in front of her. Her whole body softened and she completely stuck to Lin Xiao. He easily picked her up and threw her on the bed.

Then he tilted his head slightly and bent down.

The sweet kiss instantly made the air more charming. Although she knew it was inappropriate, Noshiro still completely relaxed her body and let the man in front of her do whatever he wanted.

This nap lasted a long time.

Although both sides restrained themselves deliberately because it was not night, they still tossed and turned for nearly an hour before falling asleep in each other's arms. But the poor maid had to help them wash the sheets and quilts. She was probably the only person who was absolutely sure about what was going on between Sirius, Noshiro and the commander.

After waking up, Noshiro gave another helpless rebuke, but only she knew the sweetness and pride in her heart.

Even though she knew that this special favor would not last long, Noshiro still felt that even if she sank soon, she would have no regrets to receive such favor from the commander.

What surprised Lin Xiao was that, even though that had just happened, Noshiro actually mentioned to him about salvaging the ship. It was obvious that both she and the other ship girls in the family, although they knew that the more companions there were in the port, the more dispersed the commander's love would be, still supported him in salvaging the ship.

After all, for the commander, building salvage boats is part of the development of the port area, a serious job content, and perhaps one of the most important tasks.

Only with more ship girls can the port area grow stronger, flourish and be full of vitality.

Otherwise, when they attacked in the past, they wouldn't have come back with a new sister from time to time...

Of course, Lin Xiao could only respond to Noshiro's suggestion with a wry smile and an ambiguous answer.

He really didn't know how to salvage the boat, and he didn't think that the director of the Maritime Administration was a big fish that could be easily caught. Even if he had this consideration... well, anyway, he would wait until he had a suitable accomplice, oh no, a helper, in the future.

For example, Big and Small Zeppelin?

Thinking of this, he opened the door and walked out of the room with Noshiro who had dressed neatly. However, he happened to run into Big Brother who was about to go out to inquire about the food in the cafeteria tonight. The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment.

"Tsk."

George V smacked his lips in displeasure and rolled his eyes, "At least pay attention to the time!"

Noshiro looked embarrassed, but Lin Xiao coughed twice and said righteously, "Noshiro and I were just discussing some important matters concerning the future of the port. George V, are you going to the cafeteria?"

"Don't bother me with these nonsense."

George V was obviously very dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes and sneered, "It seems that you were very excited when discussing things. Even the soundproof wall couldn't stop it?"

Noshiro had already hidden behind the door. Indeed, because the children at home were either in class or taking a nap, it seemed that she was... a little more indulgent than usual just now.
