I, Azure Commander!

This, what should I do?

She just wanted to find someone to play with her funds, but she ended up getting herself involved? But...but, she was not ready to get married yet!

Heinrich was completely confused. After all, people say that salvaging a ship is like falling in love, and you have to coax the ship girl well. Even if it was her fault, it was an accidental mistake on her part, how could she propose to him the moment they met? !

Although if you look closely, the commander in front of her looks pretty good and handsome, and the ship girl following him seems to be very powerful, but even so, she is the director of the Maritime Bureau after all, and she can't just go with him like that!

Chapter 21 Heinrich Raiders ING

Prince Heinrich's face was disheveled in the wind, but Lin Xiao was still completely unaware of what had happened. He thought the misunderstanding had been completely resolved, so he planned to start talking about business.

"Well... Actually, I came to see Miss Heinrich this time because I wanted to ask you for a favor."

"Help...help?"

"Yes, the specific situation may be difficult to explain in detail, but in short, I need information about some free ship girls in the waters you are responsible for."

"What do you want those for? The Maritime Administration will never leak this information!" - Before Prince Heinrich could say this, Lin Xiao had already taken out the token he had received from Peter Strasser - a white glove and a small token.

Originally, this token was given to him by Peter when they were preparing to fight the Siren. He said that if he encountered an unexpected emergency, he could use it as a token to temporarily take over her job and command the battle at a critical moment.

Being able to say such words naturally means that Director Peter has great trust in Lin Xiao, but it is more out of consideration for the situation on the battlefield. Among the people present at the time, only the combat effectiveness of Lin Xiao's subordinates was the most critical, and there were also smart and trustworthy ship girls around him. It is natural that this important task as insurance should be entrusted to him.

In the end, the outcome of the battle was much smoother than expected, and there was no need for such a thing at all, so Peter Strass forgot to ask for it back. Although he remembered it later and sent someone to get it, Mr. Lin was naturally shameless and refused to return it. When the Maritime Administration came, he happened to have the thing in his hand, but he had the nerve to lie with his eyes open, saying that he accidentally lost it. After several times, Peter Strass was speechless and just let him do whatever he wanted.

What? You're asking about the white gloves? Anyway, first of all, let's rule out the possibility that Mr. Lin got them from someone else...

"This is……"

Prince Heinrich was stunned when he saw the white glove in Lin Xiao's hand. "Is this given to you by Peter?"

"Uh...yes."

Lin Xiao, who was about to explain what these two things were, was suddenly confused. Why was she staring at the white gloves? Wasn't the point about the little brand?

Or does she and Director Peter actually know each other?

Well, this is very likely. After all, they are implemented as an event in the game, and Prince Heinrich’s voice seems to include content about interacting with Peter.

It's just an acquaintance, so what? It's easier to deceive acquaintances! Not only is it easier to deceive, but there is no psychological burden when deceiving, not bad...

"You should understand now, right? Anyway, this is a rather important matter. I hope Miss Heinrich can cooperate with me."

"ok, I get it."

Heinrich seemed to trust Peter very much, and he had no doubt that the white gloves were robbed or stolen by the commander in front of him.

She knew Peter very well. She was envious of the ship girls who had reached level 110 or so. How many ship girls in the world could snatch things from her?

"I'll help you look up the information later, and then I'll sort out the basic list... Having said that, the Maritime Bureau in a small place like mine is responsible for a small area, and there are not many free ship girls. But before that, what happened just now..."

Prince Heinrich was still upset about what had just happened and wanted to make things clear no matter what. After all, he was a free ship girl and the director of the Maritime Bureau, and he had no plans to find a commander for the time being.

"Haha, it's just a small matter. There's no need to worry about it. Didn't I tell you that there's no problem on my side?"

Lin Xiao smiled, but felt a little confused. Wasn't this girl cheerful and outgoing? Why did she become so fussy now?

After all, wasn't it just a small matter like Xiaotie biting his clothes? Why did he care so much?

Maybe... it's because I'm too handsome! So Prince Heinrich doesn't want to leave a bad impression in his mind. Alas, I am such a sinful man...

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart and thought helplessly.

Little things?

Can that kind of thing be a trivial matter?

Prince Heinrich almost couldn't hold it in anymore. That was a big event in her life! How could it be called a small matter?

She is not your commander, who has countless opportunities to choose. If she accepts a ship girl and then finds that she doesn't like her, she can just throw her aside and ignore her. No one will say anything. Even if she gives her a ring and the feelings fade, she can just ignore her and turn around to show her courtesy to the pretty girl who just joined the port...

They will only look for one commander in their lifetime! Once they have chosen someone, they will follow him till the end, even if the commander regrets it and ignores them, even if they feel wronged, even if they are bullied by the commander in the port, as long as they are not retired, they will still follow loyally. If the commander doesn't like them, then they will find opportunities to show themselves, dress up carefully every day, and fight the Sirens desperately on the battlefield. If the commander can see their excellence, maybe he will take a few more glances at them?

Oh, what a stupid idea! If I really don’t have feelings for you anymore, I won’t change my mind no matter what I do…

But there are batches of ship girls who will write letters and do so. Precisely because they are very clear about these things, Prince Heinrich is extremely cautious about joining the port and following the commander.

After all, if you choose the wrong person or follow the wrong commander, your life will be almost completely ruined. But now, such an important matter is just a trivial matter in the mouth of the commander in front of you?

Prince Heinrich, who had originally had a good impression of him, suddenly had a much worse impression of him. In her mind, she basically equated Lin Xiao with an irresponsible commander.

"Speaking of which, your Iron-Blooded Shipgirl's ship uniform... um, yours is called Iron-chan, right? It's super cool!"

Lin Xiao looked at the living ship suit that looked like a steel shark, and his eyes began to light up.

"cool?"

Prince Heinrich was apparently stunned for a moment, and seemed unable to react for a moment.

“It means very handsome.”

"No, I still know this, but... aren't you afraid?"

Prince Heinrich looked at him with some confusion. He had seen many commanders before, but they were still human beings after all. Faced with such a moving, scary-looking mechanical ship suit, they were basically very scared. Even many ship girls would keep their distance from Xiao Tie, saying that their Xiao Tie was very handsome. They had never seen such a thing before.

Chapter 22 No man can resist a handsome mechanical dragon!

"Fear?"

However, after hearing what Prince Heinrich said, Lin Xiao showed a rather puzzled expression, "Why are you afraid?"

"because……"

Prince Heinrich thought that this was something that would come out of his mouth easily, but when the words came to his lips, he froze in place, and for a long time he didn't know what to say.

Of course she didn't think Xiaotie was scary, so why would she be afraid? Xiaotie was obviously very well behaved, just a little naughty sometimes, but he wouldn't really hurt anyone.

Thinking about this, he inevitably felt a little aggrieved, but the conversation had to continue, so based on his own guess, Prince Heinrich asked tentatively: "Is it because the little iron is very big, very black, and very long?"

"..."

Lin Xiao always felt like something was wrong, but the girl in front of him obviously had no intention of driving and simply didn't seem to care about these details.

But the other party's words really confused him, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"According to my understanding, maybe it's because they have seen too few shipgirls...especially Iron-Blooded Shipgirls, and they don't know enough about Iron-Blooded Shipgirls and their ship outfits. They just think that they look scary, and then they naturally think that they might hurt people, so they are afraid, right?"

Lin Xiao organized his words and expressed his understanding.

"Well... isn't it because Xiaotie is too big, too long, and too dark? So I often wonder if I should dress Xiaotie up a bit, maybe people won't be so afraid of him."

——When Prince Heinrich heard Lin Xiao’s words, he nodded first, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly realize and said this.

Lin Xiao was really helpless. Could it be that this person was actually a hidden evildoer? Was he really not driving on purpose or playing a prank on him?

But it seemed that there was really nothing wrong with it. She understood what Prince Heinrich meant. In fact, he was just saying that Xiaotie's appearance was a little scary.

But logically speaking, in Lin Xiao's opinion, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.

Regardless of whether Xiaotie looks scary or not, neither he nor Prince Heinrich has any ill will towards others in essence, nor will they do anything to really hurt others. If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?

Besides, he didn’t think there was anything scary about Xiaotie?

Not only do I not feel it’s scary at all, I also think Xiaotie is very handsome. He’s so handsome, okay?

You bitch, you're blocking my view of the mecha.jpg

Of course this is just a joke. Although the mecha is cool, Prince Heinrich is also very cute... so real.

I can only say that this cannot be blamed on Lin Xiao. Which man can resist the temptation of a mecha?

It would be fine if Prince Heinrich's little iron was a mechanical shark, but if there was an iron-blooded ship with a mechanical dragon, it would undoubtedly be a sure kill for him.

No man can resist a handsome mechanical dragon!

Unfortunately, before Lin Xiao traveled through time, he had never seen a very authentic mechanical dragon. However, the appearance of Anchorage and the terrifying made him certain that there were many ship girls in this world that he didn't know about. In other words, maybe there really were iron-blooded ship girls with mechanical dragons!

If it really exists, it is easy to imagine that no matter whether it is fished out or built, it will definitely be immediately given the highest level of treatment, with the favor being increased at the speed of light and then the wedding ring being given and the marriage being completed in one go.

What? You ask what to do after marriage? Is there any need to ask? Of course, I will ride a mechanical dragon around the streets every day. Just thinking about it makes me feel cool.

As for the ship girl? Sorry, I've been feeling a bit weak lately and need to take care of my health. Please don't come to see me again. I'm afraid the mechanical dragon will misunderstand me.

However, when Lin Xiao expressed (part of) his thoughts to Prince Heinrich in front of him, Prince Heinrich felt as if his three views had been impacted in some way.

"I say...are you kidding me?" Even though she was a cheerful and lively girl, Prince Heinrich couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao with some suspicion.

It couldn't be blamed on Prince Heinrich for doubting his motives. After all, no one had ever said so before. In the final analysis, even as a commander, he was still just an ordinary human being. He was already wary of the existence of a supernatural being like a ship girl, let alone an iron-blooded ship girl with a terrifying ship uniform, let alone her, Prince Heinrich, whose ship uniform was particularly terrifying.

"This is definitely a misunderstanding on your part."

Lin Xiao spread his hands helplessly. He was not the kind of person who would say coaxing words just to save the boat. Although that was understandable, his opinion of Xiao Tie and the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl's ship outfit was not a lie at all.

And to be honest, if he excluded Xiao Tie's factor, he really didn't want to save Prince Heinrich. Although she was cute enough, she had a good figure, she had a cheerful personality and she was from the southern hemisphere...but all of these could be found in the port area.

The only special thing is Xiaotie, and even Xiaotie is not the most handsome or biggest among all the iron-blooded ship girls of Lin Xiao.

For example, Frederick the Great, Odin... Their ship suits are more handsome and bigger. Lin Xiao especially likes Frederick the Great's ship suit. Although it is not a mechanical dragon, it is indeed big enough and exaggerated enough, giving a full sense of oppression.

Well, the emperor himself gives people roughly the same feeling. Even Commander Lin Xiao sometimes acts like a child in front of the emperor.

This was also true on a physical level. The emperor was more than 1.9 meters tall, and it was said that she was almost 2 meters tall, more than half a head taller than Lin Xiao. If Lin Xiao stood in front of the emperor, she would probably only be able to reach her nose...

"What the master said is of course true... There are many iron-blooded ship girls in our port area, and the master particularly likes their ship uniforms."

Just when Prince Heinrich was still doubting the truthfulness of Lin Xiao's words, the loyal maid Sirius also began to join in.

"A lot of Iron-Blooded Ship Girls?" Prince Heinrich was stunned again. She felt that she would not be surprised so many times even if she sat in the office for a whole year.

"There are indeed quite a few..." Although Lin Xiao said this, his face was somewhat embarrassed, "But for some reason, they are not in the port area now, but... um, they are carrying out some special tasks."

"Is that so?" Prince Heinrich still looked a little skeptical. After all, this was too mysterious. "But, you are still just a trainee commander, right?"

"If it wasn't for a special reason, how could the trainee commander get this thing?"

Lin Xiao shook the small sign in his hand and started to use chicken feathers as a token of authority again...

Chapter 23: Long Island must have corrupted my girls

Seeing the sign in Lin Xiao's hand, Prince Heinrich, who trusted Peter very much, finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll just trust you guys for now."

"I swear on the dignity of a royal maid that neither I nor my proud master will tell a single lie."

Sirius is a royal maid, and when she gets serious, she is still quite authoritative and persuasive.

The last bit of doubt in Prince Heinrich's heart finally disappeared. He nodded and asked with great interest: "Well, can you tell me which Iron Blood ship girls are there in your port? You may not believe it, but although it has been a long time, I haven't seen many Iron Blood companions. The most familiar one is Peter, and the few Z-drive girls in the Maritime Administration. If possible, I really want to meet a Prince Eugen or Leipzig Deutschland or something..."

"Um, this is quite a lot, right?"

Lin Xiao thought about it briefly. Of course, he should be modest and low-key. But since others have given him the opportunity to show off, if he doesn't do it now, he will be ungrateful to others for their hard work...

"First of all, the Prince Eugen and the Leipzig Deutschland you mentioned just now, of course they are all there, there is no Nuremberg, but there is Count Spee, and then there are many, many Z-Drive girls, how many there are... I'm not sure, probably close to ten?"

"so many?!"

Prince Heinrich was shocked. She was already a little surprised when she saw Lin Xiao walking in with three or four ship girls. She didn't expect that there would be so many ship girls in the other side's port area?

Well, if I could get the recognition from that serious Peter, it would be reasonable to have this level of strength...

St. Louis on the side seemed to find it interesting as well, so he joined in the conversation and said, "That's not all. There are also several sisters of the Königsberg class in light cruisers. In addition to Eugen, there is also her sister Hipper in heavy cruisers. Well, that's a bit rare, but there are quite a few battleships. The battlecruisers include the two sisters of the Scharnhorst class and Odin. In the orthodox battleships, there is Frederick the Great, not the one you know. We also have a great emperor in our family, and she's very powerful!"

Then, as if taking over the baton, Sirius also spoke...

"As for aircraft carriers, there aren't many. There are only the Big Zeppelin and the Small Zeppelin. The Small Zeppelin is a small ship girl. Since you are the Director of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, you should know that the Small Zeppelin always claims to be the number one iron-blooded aircraft carrier because the Big Zeppelin can't beat her. But it seems that it is no longer the case now... Miss Peter seems to be quite powerful."

"Besides that, there are some girls from the U-class submarines. There are also quite a few of them, but nothing else..."

Lin Xiao finally took back the conversation, showing a shy and honest smile.

Prince Heinrich was now completely stunned.

And... that's all? What else do you want? Are you going to wipe out the entire Iron Blood Nest in one fell swoop? !

Apart from anything else, she had already received orders for so many ships. She was not familiar with some of the names, but the name of Frederick the Great was well-known!

The Frederick the Great that she knew was simply a mobile army, whose combat power was strong enough to put all the battleships of the time to shame!

It is precisely because of this that she is known as the "Battle King", but this trainee commander in front of him actually said that he also has such a super rare and super powerful scientific research program ship?

But she just carefully discerned the emotional fluctuations of these people and found that they really didn't lie at all?

Is this...

"Well, I don't have much experience, so I want to ask, who is Odin...?"

She was unfamiliar with the other names, but she had never heard of the name Odin.
