Shipgirls and Salted Fish Commander, Port Survival Guide

In the port area, ship type and personality are not strictly equivalent, or rather, ship girl's figure and personality are not strictly equivalent.

Based on experience, destroyers are generally associated with the size of a young girl, roughly the size of an elementary school student, while light cruisers are like middle or high school students. However, this is not an absolute comparison. Some light cruisers, and even battleships and aircraft carriers, are not as physically imposing as destroyers.

Therefore, in terms of personality, there are many mature destroyers, such as Javelin. She is quite mature in both mind and body. Perhaps it is not particularly exaggerated when viewed in the context of the port as a whole, but it is very good in the human world. You know, Javelin can easily pull off a strapless dress without any straps.

Javelin vaguely remembered that she had once played a pillow fight with Jing Su. At that time, Javelin accidentally exposed her southern hemisphere, which deeply attracted Jing Su's attention.

Some are mentally mature, while others are more childlike. Although the mental maturity of the ship girls in the port is not strictly linked to their figure or ship type, there are indeed more girls among the destroyers. To some extent, it is true that figure affects mentality.

Take Unyielding for example. Her mind is relatively immature because, after the movie started, she was the only one whose attention was entirely focused on the snacks on her plate. Vauquelan would at least glance at Jing Su every now and then. Only after finishing her snacks would this girl tug at Jing Su's trouser leg and ask the commander to give her a new plate.

"I have some cookies here, Javelin Sister, would you like some?" Sensing that Javelin wasn't quite right, and although she didn't know what was wrong, Unyielding still took out one of her favorite cookies and offered it to Javelin.

"Cough cough, no, no need, thank you~" By now, Javelin had almost recovered her composure. At this moment, she had thought of a good idea, who knows, she might be able to snuggle into Jing Su's arms.

"Oh~" Seeing that Javelin indicated he was alright, Unyielding didn't think too much about it and went back to eating his biscuits and watching the movie.

To be honest, the movie made her a little sleepy. It wasn't that she didn't understand the plot or anything, but in her opinion, if the female lead liked the male lead, she should just confess directly. Why be so coy? Every time they got to a crucial moment, all sorts of strange things would cause misunderstandings. To be honest, she should just express her feelings directly.

Liking someone is liking someone. If misunderstandings occur, it indicates a lack of trust. How can you say you will always trust the other person?

'Hmph, this female lead is so pretentious, and this male lead is so dense. The person he likes is right beside him, yet he's like a blind man, completely oblivious.' Thinking this, Buqu looked at Jing Su, 'But what does the Commander think of us? What are my feelings for the Commander?'

Yes, I like the Commander too. I don't want to have any regrets about my feelings for the Commander!

Thinking of this, Buqu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he made a decision.

"Um, Commander~" Just as Unyielding had figured things out, Javelin was about to start her operation. She had barely opened her mouth when she realized something was wrong.

"Commander, hehe~" Before Javelin could finish speaking, Unyielding climbed directly onto Jing Su's lap.

Previously, because there were people sitting on both sides and Buqu was eating at his feet, Jing Su's legs were together. But without saying a word, Buqu sat directly on Jing Su's lap.

"Hey, Buqu, what are you doing?!" Seeing Buqu's actions, he was dumbfounded. How could she do this, going up to him without saying a word? Was she cheating? Did she have no sense of romance at all?

"Sit on the Commander's lap, eat some snacks, and watch a movie," Buqu said matter-of-factly, while pulling out a small cookie and handing it to Jing Su, saying, "Commander, have one, it tastes good~"

"Uh, haha, okay, I'll eat it." Jing Su was indeed startled by Bu Qu at first. After all, it's normal to be startled when someone suddenly climbs on you without warning.

However, Jing Su didn't say anything to object. What could she do when the person was already sitting down? She couldn't just kick them off, that would be too hurtful.

Moreover, Buqu's body was soft and had a great feel when you hugged her. Jing Su took the opportunity to hug Buqu in her arms, wrapping her arms around Buqu's abdomen so that she could lean back a little more and prevent her from falling.

This move left everyone else dumbfounded.

"You...you can do that?!" The other ship girls who were watching Jing Su's situation were all dumbfounded.

'Damn it, I was so focused on closing the distance that I forgot that going straight for it is the simplest and most direct method!' Seeing the defiant little girl sitting in Jing Su's lap, shaking her little feet, Qianwei was on the verge of tears. So, going straight for it is the best approach?

It wasn't just the Vanguard who was helpless; Fuxi was too. However, she was still better off than the Vanguard, since the Unyielding was still one of Vichy's people. Letting her succeed was better than letting Javelin succeed.

Judging from the javelin thrower's movements, she was actually already preparing to make her move, but Unyielding beat her to it. What's that saying again? If you and your opponent are both unlucky, you'll definitely feel better than if only you're unlucky.

Of course, strictly speaking, it's not all bad luck.

After all, given their personalities, it would be very difficult for them to do something like Bu Qu, who would jump into the commander's arms without saying a word. They might not even think of doing it.

They might do this in private for the sake of romance, but with so many people watching, the shame alone would stop them.

At this point, they were indeed not as good as Buqu. Although in terms of temperament, Buqu was similar to a child in many ways, sometimes a child's straightforward nature makes it easier to succeed.

Others might not know what kind of personality their commander has, but as ship girls, how could they not know?

Although the reunion was short, Fuxi had already figured out what Jingsu was like, or rather, she had always known.

Jing Su is actually quite indifferent. She doesn't take the initiative to do many things and keeps many thoughts to herself. But when it comes to stepping forward, Jing Su will not hesitate at all.

Moreover, Jing Su has a strong learning ability. Although, according to Jing Su himself, he has lost his memories of being with the ship girls, he is genuinely working hard to learn and is learning very quickly. After a simple understanding, he was already able to help Queen Elizabeth of the Royal Navy handle political affairs.

As the absolute ruler of the port, Jing Su did not do whatever he wanted to the ship girls. He knew their feelings and their willingness to obey his orders. Under these circumstances, Jing Su did not intend to show even the slightest bit of the behavior of a poor man suddenly becoming rich, but this state of mind alone was already far beyond that of ordinary people.

Possessing immense power, the ship girls only realized how much dirty work Jing Su had done for the port after they came into contact with the outside world. There were always many forces coveting the port's strength, but the ship girls in the port only needed to consider one thing: battle.

He could even slack off whenever he wanted. I don't know how Jing Su managed to do that. When he was around, the port area never worried about resources. Although there were times when resources were indeed exhausted on paper, the inventory was still quite impressive.

In the early days after Jing Su's disappearance, the port area lost its source of resources and survived for almost half a year on its inventory. Keep in mind that this was during the period when all the ship girls were constantly on the move. Except for a few secretary ships and the person in charge who were still maintaining the overall situation in the port area, all the other ship girls that could be deployed were deployed.

The resources consumed by the colorful ships are very high. Even with attacks day and night, Jing Su's remaining stockpile can last for another six months. In addition to oil resources, Jing Su also left behind a huge amount of gold coins. This means that after the port splits, each faction does not need to worry about start-up funds. It is conceivable that Jing Su has accumulated resources for many years.

She neither takes the initiative nor refuses, and of course, she can't refuse either. She takes good care of people. When Jing Su looks at her with doting eyes, even if Fu Xi considers herself the embodiment of calmness, she can't help but feel excited.

Actually, it's always the ship girls who are the ones who are truly reserved. After all, they are girls, and when it comes to real situations, they are easily shy.

Or rather, ship girls are girls too, and everyone longs for a passionate romance. However, sometimes, it seems that when the opportunity arises, going straight for it is more effective.

Just like now, Buqu is snuggling into the commander's arms, getting so close to Jing Su that even Fuxi, let alone Qianwei, has to admit she's a little jealous.

However, they might not actually be able to do such a thing. Shyness is one thing, but embarrassment is another. If the other ship girls knew that they had snuggled into Jing Su's arms in front of so many people, they would probably be talked about for the rest of their lives.

Of course, if I can rise to the top directly, I'll be talked about for the rest of my life. As long as I can get close to Jing Su, I don't care about saving face.

It's a pity that with so many people watching, it's impossible to do that right now. But thankfully, Kewei set a good example for everyone: you don't necessarily need a ring to get close to Jing Su.

Of course, it would be best to have a ring, but you can force yourself on someone else if you don't. Anyway, if you succeed in taking her place, you'll definitely get a ring. It's just that it won't be good for your reputation if word gets out.

For ship girls, what does reputation matter? Can it put food on the table? Is it more important than getting close to the commander?

Obviously not.

Jing Su's three-year disappearance made many ship girls realize their true feelings. As the saying goes, if you like someone, you like them. Don't let a moment of waiting become an eternal regret.

Since our commander is such an annoying guy who never takes the initiative, we might as well take the initiative ourselves. If the mountain won't come to us, we'll go to the mountain.

So at this moment, all the ship girls present, including Vauquelan, were thinking about only one thing—how could I share a room with the Commander?

Chapter 194 Do you want the Commander to feel the sea breeze?

Unyielding's direct attack on Jing Su's embrace strongly provoked the other ship girls present.

In an instant, everyone lost interest in watching the movie and started thinking about how to get closer to Jing Su.

“Commander, your little accessory is really pretty. Where did you buy it? I want to get one too. Well, I already have one in my room that comes in pairs. How about we wear them together?” It was La Galisoni who made the first move. She wasn’t too far from Jing Su.

Originally, there was a javelin between them, but since Buqu had nestled into Jing Su's arms, there was an empty space next to him, and the javelin moved to where Buqu had been.

La. Galisoni was able to get close to Jing Su.

Just then, the movie reached its climax. The male and female leads were in a brightly lit church, surrounded by their family and friends, embracing and kissing passionately.

Clearly, La Galisoni had this in mind; she wanted to force herself on him.

Will this avant-garde approach lead to her success? We decisively stopped her.

"Ahem, what La said is right, it is indeed a very beautiful accessory. Sirius gave it to you, Commander, right? But I feel that there are still not enough. I'll go get the equipment and get you a few more, Commander~" After saying that, the vanguard put his arm around Jing Su's armpit, intending to carry Jing Su away directly.

This is a move that could be considered a complete overturning of the table. Clearly, after being provoked time and time again, Qianwei was no longer willing to tolerate it. She had successfully risen to power, and to put it simply, she had tasted the sweetness of success. The ambiguous words in the movie might have seemed like mere flirting to Fuxi and the others, but in Qianwei's eyes, it was a fierce attack on her mind.

"Commander's embrace feels so good~" Bu Qu's voice rang out at the right time. Clearly, what Bu Qu said was her true feeling. Jing Su felt a soft and cute thing leaning against her chest. Without even thinking, she knew that it was Bu Qu's little head.

Now it was Jing Su's turn to be confused. What was going on?

Jing Su quickly realized, "Oh no, this is aimed at me!"

In an instant, Jing Su's mind went blank, as if she were in a sea of ​​fire, her whole body steaming hot.

To be honest, La. Galisoni pressed his face against his own skin, played with his own ears, and wrapped his arms around his own armpits, intending to make a move, but he seemed to be stopped by something. Unyielding kept swaying his body, launching as many attacks as possible at Jing Su.

Javelin didn't make any moves, or rather, Jing Su didn't know what Javelin was doing because she was right next to her feet. Vockland, on the other hand, was more direct. There was someone in Jing Su's arms and on her side. Upon closer inspection, only her back was empty, so Vockland buried her head in Jing Su's back, seemingly wanting to get even closer to her.

Who can stand this!

Jing Su was a vigorous young man, and he had drunk some red wine at the banquet earlier. Now, whether it was because of the girls' encouragement or the effects of the alcohol, Jing Su felt hot all over, but he was at a loss.

Three words!

I dare not move, I dare not move!

Or rather, with the girls clinging to him like this, even if Jing Su wanted to move, there was no space for him to move at all.

'Holy crap, how did it end up like this?!'

Standing to the side, Fuxi looked at Jing Su, who was surrounded by people, and fell into deep thought.

'It shouldn't be like this!'

Fuxi said she was about to collapse. "Seriously, are you all shameless? In broad daylight—oh, it's nighttime now, no sun? But it's still a dark room, right? And yet, in the room, right in front of me, you did this kind of shameful thing with the Commander."

I don't even have that yet, no, that's shameless!

Fuxi originally intended to step forward and stop it, but she found it difficult. First of all, the vanguard of the colorful battleship was unleashing its power.

As a legendary ship girl in the port, Vanguard's strength is beyond doubt. Whether it is output, support or training level, she is among the top.

As for Fuxi, she was just a light cruiser with a fragile body. When faced with the Vanguard who had unleashed their full power, she was surprised to find that she could not move her body.

To prevent anyone from disturbing him, the avant-garde man actually used his aura, specifically targeting him!

Fu Xi was furious and felt wronged. What kind of people were these?!

Of course, what really angered Foch was why only I was stopped? Vauquelan, Unyielding, and La Galisoni were clearly closer, so why weren't they affected?

Even though Fuxi had a relatively open-minded attitude, he was somewhat on the verge of collapse at this moment.

After all, this is clearly being targeted.

Sensing Fuxi's depressed mood, Vanguard felt a little more relaxed. "It's all about you," he thought, "after all, among the ship girls present, you're the biggest threat."

In the port area, Fuxi is a very typical confidante older sister type of ship girl. She is optimistic, cheerful, and always has a smile on her face. Anyone, whether it is Jing Su or other ship girls in the port area, even the avant-garde, must admit that it is very easy to get along with Fuxi.

In terms of professional caregiving skills, Foch is actually not ranked among the best in the port. Not to mention that the professional skills of the various maid groups in the Royal Navy far surpass those of other factions, the Eastern Empire's Yat Sen, Ironblood's Frederick the Great and Hutten, and even many of the Sakura Empire's ship girls are all very good at taking care of people.

But Bok-hee is still a very special person. When you are with her, you always feel like you are with a big sister next door. You can confide in her and ask for her help.

When you want to confide in someone, Bok-hee will be the perfect confidante, responding flawlessly with every word. When you encounter difficulties, Bok-hee transforms into a reliable older sister, able to come up with a solution for you in a very short time, as long as you ask a question.

When you encounter setbacks, Fuxi will offer you thoughtful encouragement; if you want to act cute, she will open her arms to embrace you; and when you are being mischievous, she will play along with you.

That's why the avant-garde guy used his aura to intimidate Fuxi first, implying that he hadn't hugged her enough yet, and she should wait until they had, then he wouldn't let her move.

Besides, Jing Su really doesn't have any room left for Fu Xi right now. If she were to join in, things might not be able to continue.

However, Qianwei also knew that what he was doing was a bit unfair. After all, it was Fuxi who brought the movie together. Without her help, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to be so close to Jingsu.

After all, normally she wouldn't dare to be so bold; she would only dare to do it with everyone else, just like she was going all out, and get close to Jing Su.

Moreover, if they were still on a Royal Navy cruise ship, Vanguard might not be able to compete with Warspite and Plymouth, or even Perseus, who are all formidable opponents. After all, they are all ship girls with rings, so there is no psychological burden in taking down Jing Su; they can just go for it.

As for Sirius and Javelin, they are also formidable opponents. Sirius is single-mindedly focused on giving up, and who knows when she might succeed. Javelin, on the other hand, is a true veteran of the port area, and she has the most in-depth information on the entire cruise ship. If she really goes all out, there's not much anyone else can do.

Speaking of veterans, there has always been a debate on the port's intranet – which ship girl is the commander's true initial ship?

If we're talking about time, Miss Ghost Long Island should be the first to join the port, but Norfolk says, "I joined the Commander before he even took over the port, so I'm the first one."

Javelin said, "I was the commander's earliest fighting force," while Glorious and Enterprise said, "I led the port to glory."

Cleveland and Eugen argued that in the early days of the port's development, it was the two of them who were fighting on the front lines. Helena emphasized that although she joined the port early and started working late, her SG radar was an important guarantee for the port's strength. When the Sirens invaded in large numbers, or when the port needed to launch an expedition to the Great World, I was always there.

In short, different ship girls had different opinions and were debating whether they were the ship girls who left the deepest impression on Jing Su.

The main reason for arguing is to boost one's confidence, or rather, to have a stronger reason to stay by Jing Su's side. For example, Guanghui may not be the initial ship of the port, but she is undoubtedly the first married ship. In terms of seniority, all the later ones have to call her "sister".

This is why Illustrious can overpower all the secret service ships and withstand the attacks of other factions.

Judging from their apparent strength, the Royal Navy seems to have a slight advantage over the other factions. The Royal Navy has two secretary ships, one of which is the veteran-level "first wife" - Illustrious. However, the other factions are not completely helpless.

For other factions, the top spot in this port area belongs to both the Royal Navy and me.

The Sardinian Empire was particularly enthusiastic, and Marco Polo could be seen at almost any meeting involving the power of the secretary ship. This girl had tried more than once to push for reforms that would make the secretary ship's power supreme.

It is often said that the secretary ships should be rotated among the four, and a chief secretary ship should be selected from the four, with that chief secretary ship having unlimited power.

Of course, this was just talk; when it came to actually drafting a bill, it wouldn't even get past the application stage.

The reason is simple: when it comes to matters involving secretary ships, any changes require the joint application from all faction leaders, which must be submitted to the navigator TB for review. After approval, the four secretary ships must vote by raising their hands, and all secretary ships must agree before the changes can be officially implemented.

Marco Polo's plan is so complicated that getting all the key figures to agree to it is impossible, let alone getting it approved by Taobao.

As mentioned earlier, due to Jing Su's disappearance, TB would fall into a periodic hibernation every now and then. Only when the four secretary ships activated the emergency procedure could TB be temporarily awakened. Each time it was awakened, TB could only be awake for an hour or two. In such a short time, there was not enough time to do anything important, let alone review an important matter.

Every time it's time to awaken TB, there are usually some very urgent matters, such as the allocation of resources needed by each faction. In the early days after Jing Su disappeared, the port area consumed the reserve resources left by Jing Su, and there was basically no income, so allocation was a very important matter.

If each faction were to distribute the resources themselves, there would always be people dissatisfied no matter how they were allocated. But if TB were to handle it, no one could find fault with it.

However, as time went on, the remaining resources in the port area became less and less, and the conflicts between different factions became more and more intense. In the end, the port area split up, and TB no longer needed to be awakened until Jing Su returned and awakened TB.

Because Jing Su's presence could be detected, TB was able to remain conscious, and communication between different factions gradually increased.
