I really don't have money for the ship girls.

Magdeburg: So, the commander wants the sun?

Magdeburg retracted a message.

[Magneburg was silenced for 24 hours by administrator Bismarck]

Commander: Actually, I just wanted to say that everyone should eat on time, and I'm going to have lunch too...

Supernatural Power: ...

Chapter 53 The Commander's Three Agreements

Actually, it wasn't just lunch. Because of Rino's arrival, Shoukaku decided to add a dish on the spot and is still busy in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Yingtian's account logged into this phone has been added to another group.

[The Commander has joined the port council group]

Prince of Wales: @Yingtian, here, there are too many people and too much chatter in the large group, so important matters should be discussed here.

Yingtian: Understood.

Yingtian: Hello everyone.

The principle of discussing small matters in large groups and big matters in small groups should be understood by Ying Tian. Just look at the names of the members in this "Port Area Council Group": Enterprise, Yi Xian, Essex, Amagi, Mikasa, Bismarck, Richelieu... Not a single one of them is joking around. They are all well-known figures whose names are resounding. Calling it a council group is actually being modest. It should be called a decision-making group.

Glorious: Hello, Commander.

Enterprise: Hello, Commander.

Jeanbart: Hello.

Akagi: Commander, all is well.

Soviet Russia: Comrade Commander, please take responsibility as soon as possible.

Frederick the Great: Commander, if you have any questions, just ask us here.

Yingtian: Then I won't stand on ceremony. I've only heard your stories before, and I'd like to understand your decisions and plans more clearly.

Prince of Wales: Then let me explain to the Commander?

Yingtian: You speak.

The Prince of Wales used a question, but after Ying Tian made her statement, no one questioned it. So she clearly stated the things that everyone had discussed before in the form of a timetable.

In her description, the "Second Garrison Plan" gradually became clear in Yingtian's mind. The plan was divided into three steps.

Step 1: Establish a preliminary foothold in the Commander's world, utilize existing conditions and tools (referring to the game itself and other existing media) to acquire oil and training resources, and try to improve the existing strength of the Naval Base. At the same time, the Port Research Group should conduct in-depth research on time travel and Siren materials, optimize the existing travel methods, and lay a solid technical foundation for future material transport.

Step 2: Establish a semi-permanent base in the commander's world, break free from the constraints of existing influence tools, directly purchase war resources such as oil and transport them to the naval base, eliminate spacetime disturbances, and open a semi-permanent passage between the two worlds.

Step 3: Establish a permanent second naval base in the Commander's world as a backup base for the First Naval Base's logistics, supply, and recuperation functions, thereby empowering the First Naval Base's combat capabilities. In the most urgent situation, the Second Naval Base will become a safe haven for all ship girls in the port area, serving as a last resort.

Prince of Wales: Commander, do you have any comments?

Company: That is indeed our plan, but you are our commander, so the final decision rests with you.

Yingtian: Let me think about it.

Holding the brick-like phone, Ying Tian fell into deep thought. Theoretically speaking, there was nothing wrong with this so-called Second Naval Base plan. It was well-structured, progressed step by step, and the methods used would not cause too much impact. In the worst case, it would only result in the world having more than 500 women, which was a drop in the ocean compared to the world's population of 8 billion.

However, these 500-plus women are not ordinary women; they are all real weapons of war. If I can't control them and something goes wrong, the country will instantly become a mini-Middle East, and even the free and beautiful United States will have to say that you are the real boss when it comes to shelling.

Yingtian doesn't care much about the world of Kantai Collection. She still has feelings for this world. Even though there are many bad things, it has finally brought peace after the war and has nurtured her for nearly twenty years in a peaceful society. Even if she can't repay the kindness, she shouldn't cause any trouble.

So, can I, as the commander, really command and control the ship girls?

"Commander, dinner's ready."

"it is good."

Ying Tian arrived at the restaurant with his phone in hand. The dishes Xiang He had prepared were steaming hot and emitted an enticing aroma.

"Speaking of which..." Ying Tian looked up at the ship girls at the dining table and asked, "If I give you an order, will you carry it out?"

Ron replied without hesitation, "Of course, hehe, I'm really looking forward to the Commander's orders."

Mercury blinked, clutching her chest warily, and said, "What does the Commander want to do? I'll refuse if it goes too far."

"So you're saying it's okay as long as it's not excessive?"

"It's definitely fine as long as it's not excessive, you're the commander, after all."

"How about barking like a dog?"

"I'll bite you."

"Learn to meow like a cat?"

"That's no problem."

Mercury Memorial cleared her throat, but St. Louis beat her to it with a meow. The charming trailing tone and her beautiful smile were just like a seductive Persian cat.

"Cats and dogs are both pets, but your preference for cats over dogs is simply racial discrimination."

Ying Tian smiled, then, as if remembering something, switched the chat interface on his brick-like phone.

Prince of Wales

Yingtian: Long time no see.

Almost immediately, the other party replied.

Prince of Wales: It's been a long time, fifty-eight days.

A simple sentence warmed Ying Tian's heart.

Ying Tian: Yes, you haven't paid your room fee. I still remember you owe me four hundred yuan.

Prince of Wales: It's no use remembering, I have no intention of returning it.

Yingtian: No, it must be returned, and it must be returned in person. I will not accept any other method.

Prince of Wales: You want to see me?

Ying Tian: Yes, I want to see you.

Prince of Wales: I want to see you too, I think about it every day.

Yingtian: If I were to order you to come here in the name of the commander, would you come?

Prince of Wales: Yes.

Yingtian: This doesn't quite fit the plan. Would everyone agree?

Prince of Wales: Although I don’t really recommend you do that, as the commander you need to maintain the balance, it is precisely because you are the commander that, as long as it’s not a matter of principle, there is no question of agreement or disagreement, everyone just has to obey.

Yingtian: I understand.

[Hong Kong District Council Discussion Group]

Yingtian: I've thought it through. I have no doubts about this plan. You understand the current situation better than I do. Judging from my contact with the Prince of Wales, your abilities are beyond question. So I believe there are no problems with the plan, and I will cooperate as much as possible.

Yingtian: But I have three conditions to mention beforehand.

Amagi: The commander says so.

Yingtian: First, in the future, please let me know the time in advance before anyone comes, otherwise it can be very awkward sometimes.

Richelieu: Of course, that's no problem. There was no way to do it before, but now we will naturally notify you in advance.

Yingtian: Second, it's best if the ship girls coming over have black hair. Of course, this isn't mandatory, but your hair color is really eye-catching.

Frederick the Great: No problem.

Yixian: Sure.

Zhenhai: A reasonable request.

Veneto: You three...

Hood: With all of us looking like this, even without black hair, we'd still be quite noticeable, wouldn't we?

Yingtian: Indeed, that's why I said it's not mandatory.

Yingtian: Third, I hope to take the lead in my actions in this world, using gentle methods and respecting the social rules of our world.

Yixian: Of course.

Richelieu: Our aim is to bring peace and freedom, absolutely not destruction.

Marco Polo: What we bring is absolutely glory and honor, hehe.

Yingtian: Okay.

Ying Tian: I don't know what to say. This sudden feeling is a bit strange, but I know that everyone trusts me, so at least I will live up to that trust. All encounters in this world are predestined, so let me say it again: I'm very happy to have met everyone.

Littorio: It's also a pleasure to meet you. You should strive to be as radiant as I am.

Akagi: It is Akagi's greatest honor to know the Commander.

Yingtian: No, no, I'm going to eat now.

Hu De: You should eat first, there's no rush for the rest.

Inside the small pavilion in the naval base garden.

Hood put down her phone and looked at the Prince of Wales, who was smiling beside her, and said, "I understand how you feel now. It's a real shame that you didn't meet the Commander sooner."

Inside the church, where bells were ringing.

Richelieu clasped his hands together, while Jean Bart stood behind his sister with his arms crossed, saying with a hint of disdain, "You can't get a chance to go there by praying."

On the beach, a bald eagle cried out and landed on the company's shoulder.

The company twirled a strand of white hair, muttering to itself, "There's no battle beyond...?"

In the dormitory of the Donghuang ship girls.

Zhao He said indignantly, "He didn't even mention it. Does he not intend to acknowledge the previous oath?"

Yi Xian gently shook her head: "My heart is like a double-stranded net, with thousands of knots within. It's already good enough that I know the Commander is this kind of person."

Amidst the misty hot springs of cherry blossoms.

Akagi hugged her tail, her white, flat back emerging from the water, splashing water droplets onto Kaga's face, then flowing down her white neck and sexy collarbone back into the water.

"Akagi, don't get so agitated."

"Hehehe, how could I not be excited?"

Akagi rubbed her fluffy tail, feeling like she was on fire.

Chapter 54 Who is the Number One Ranking Sister?

Ying Tian didn't bring the brick-like phone with him. Firstly, he didn't have the time or need to constantly monitor the messages inside. Secondly, he wanted to leave the phone with Xiang He and St. Louis, who had been away from the naval base for over a month and needed to contact their sisters to ease their longing.

In addition, Reno needs to cooperate with the research team in the port area to conduct experiments in order to improve the existing crossing mechanism as soon as possible.

As for the current first phase of the Second Naval Base Project, the existing communication and teleportation methods are sufficient. However, to move to the next phase, further improvements are needed. Ideally, the two-way teleportation portal should be maintained. If that's not possible, at least the connection between the two worlds should be strengthened to greatly improve the efficiency of using Sirens materials.

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight; Reno has more important things to do now.

In the early morning at the naval base, the rising sun gradually peeks over the horizon, the sea breeze carries albatrosses that flutter up and down among the white clouds, and the fragrance of magnolias mingles with the unique scent of camphor trees. As the ship girls who have just finished their missions disembark at the dock, after several days of hard work, they choose to have a good meal at the canteen after handing over their tasks, and then take a shower and rest.

However, today many people were holding their phones and rushing back to their dormitories without even eating.

Tashkent sat on the edge of a flowerbed by the street, her long purple hair tied in a high ponytail, cascading over her tender legs clad in white cotton socks, her round, adorable cheeks puffed up in a huff.

Being vicious is one thing, but being a slacker is another, and what's truly terrifying is that he's also a lazybones who loves to doze off.

But Shimakaze didn't come, Caesar didn't come, Benson didn't come, and even Javelin didn't come.

Even if not everyone is present for the morning run, at least none of my running buddies are here this late, like today.

Yesterday I was finally able to chat with Commander-chan, which was great. I felt like I had a pillar of support in my heart, and Commander-chan's image became clearer. I no longer felt empty like before. But for Commander-chan's sake, shouldn't I work even harder?

Tashkent stomped her foot angrily. She couldn't hold back any longer and took out her smartwatch to call Shimakaze and question this lazy little rabbit.

"Hello, is this Shimakaze? This is Tashkent."

"Why are you asking me why I called you? You have the nerve to ask? Did you oversleep and forget about your daily morning run?"

"Huh? Reno is live-streaming the Commander's actions in the group chat right now? How come I didn't know about that?"

"My lord... Aurora and Kirov were a little excited last night, they drank too much vodka..."

After hanging up the phone in Tashkent, he quickly opened his chat app, and sure enough, Lino was live-streaming the commander's day with pictures and text.

The beautiful girl in sky blue hurried back to her dormitory; the screen of her smartwatch was too small, and she needed a larger screen to see the commander.
