Azur Lane: I Traveled Through Graduation Port

"In the future, the ship girls will have minds and will be able to think, talk, and do various tasks like ordinary people."

"One day, you were recruiting an employee for your company. The applicants were an ordinary Oran and a ship girl."

"Tell me, with your many years of experience in business management, who would you choose between the two of them to take this position?"

Seeing that Sun Dewang was about to answer instinctively, Lin Lan immediately interrupted Sun Dewang with a cold voice:

"Think about it carefully, and answer me when you have thought it through. I've heard enough of these compliments that are just a waste of time."

After hearing this, Sun Dewang immediately realized that the answer to this question was absolutely crucial.

For a moment, the only sound on the entire bus was the hum of the engine, except for the sounds of Z16, U1206 and U110 chatting with Suiqiong in the back.

As time passed, the bus drove from the outer area of ​​Lihu County to the highway inside the county.

There were more and more vehicles on the road, and pedestrians gradually appeared on the streets on both sides of the road.

"Your Excellency, I don't know if my answer will satisfy you. Please listen to my personal opinion."

Finally, just when Lin Lan was looking out the car window and thought that Sun Dewang would not answer this time, Sun Dewang's voice came.

"As a business manager, I will appoint professional HR to conduct a fair and impartial assessment of the work capabilities of these two applicants."

"Of course, whether their personalities and character meet the requirements of the job are all within my consideration."

"Since in the future, the ship girls and ordinary people are safe, I will naturally recruit the person who best meets the job requirements from the perspective of the company's development."

"Regardless of the race and gender of the applicants, if only one of them is more suitable for the position than the other, I will choose the best candidate."

"That's my answer. In my eyes, our shipgirls are no different from the Liaozhou people who come to work, the teaching people, or even the Natlan people."

“They are all…citizens who have made a personal contribution to the development of Oran.”

Looking at the extremely serious expression on Sun Dewang's face, Lin Lan did not show any fluctuation in expression.

But in his heart, he had already obtained the test results he wanted.

If Sun Dewang just analyzed it and finally said that he would hire the ship girl, then it would be obvious that this was still a flattering lie.

Because no one who comes from a consortium would not care about interests, especially since Sun Dewang was a senior executive of the consortium.

No definite choice was given, but it was stated that the essence of the development of the consortium, which is to put profits first, would be upheld and applicants would be selected fairly and impartially.

When Sun Dewang said this based on the actual situation of Orlan's future development, Lin Lan truly recognized this fat man Sun.

Chapter 220 Return to the County Navy Office

"Your Excellency, Xiaosun's answer..."

Seeing that Lin Lan was slow to speak, Sun Dewang asked nervously.

But Lin Lan just said lightly:

"Drive your car well, I told you. I'm just using your answer as a reference."

Although he recognized Sun Dewang in his heart, Lin Lan was not stupid enough to express his recognition directly.

Otherwise this fat guy Sun will get too proud.

His words also made Sun Dewang even more uneasy. He couldn't figure out whether his answer would satisfy the leader.

Soon, the bus stopped in front of a long, white building in the center of Lihu County.

The Navy Department sign outside the building indicates that this is the Navy Department County Office.

"This is quite different from the last time I came here."

Lin Lan looked at the completed county office building outside and remembered that the last time he came here, it was still a construction site.

"You keep the car keys, and you can leave now. We'll keep the car for today, and you can come to the dock to pick it up later."

When standing up to get out of the car, Lin Lan said to Sun Dewang who was sitting in the car.

"This car can be used as a gift to the President..."

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Sun Dewang dared not say no, and quickly agreed with a smile on his face.

After nodding to Sun Dewang, Lin Lan looked at the iron-blooded ship girls in the carriage, thought for a moment and said:

"August, Tirpitz, you and I will go to the Admiralty office together. The rest of you will stay in the car and wait for us to come back."

The air conditioner in the bus was turned on and it was very warm inside.

"You didn't even call me!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the evil dragon girl Ruprecht immediately stood up from her seat and protested.

"I'll take you to the buffet later."

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you here!"

Lin Lan had a good idea about how to control this evil dragon girl.

But he really didn't expect that Ruprecht's expression would change so quickly.

After he took August and Tirpitz off the car, Sun Dewang said goodbye to him and left first.

"This Admiralty office seems a bit shabby."

As soon as she got off the car, Queen Tirpitz of the North looked up at the building and spoke softly.

"After all, it is a county-level Navy Office, which is considered large in scale. The Tianou Group must have helped a lot."

Lin Lan put on Tirpitz's navy cap while explaining.

Several naval soldiers standing guard at the gate in front of this four-story long and spacious office building immediately stood up straight and opened the gate blocking the road after seeing the hat on Lin Lan's head.

After nodding slightly to this group of dedicated soldiers, Lin Lan walked into the office building with two tall, iron-blooded ship girls.

He was right about one thing. Although this was a spacious four-story office building, as the county navy office, it was obvious that not many people worked in the building, and the doors of many rooms were closed.

Obviously, under normal circumstances, the county-level naval office does not need such a luxurious office building.

Led by several naval clerical staff, Lin Lan came to Sun Xiaozhu's office on the fourth floor.

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Xiao, who was wearing glasses,

Zhu immediately stood up from his chair with a surprised expression on his face:

"Commander, you're here, and I didn't come down to pick you up right away. It's my fault!"

Lin Lan smiled faintly and waved her hand while looking around the spacious and bright office.

From the bookshelves piled with books and folders, as well as the many unfiled documents on Sun Xiaozhu's desk, it can be seen that his daily workload is definitely not small.

While Lin Lan was looking around the office, Sun Xiaozhu also looked at the two people following the commander with a similarly frightened look.

Another strange ship girl she had never seen before.

Judging from their figure and appearance, these two beautiful ship girls are definitely beyond the capabilities of heavy cruisers. Sun Xiaozhu is 100% sure of this.

No wonder Tianou Group has been so cooperative with her work during this period, and it can even be said that they have responded to her every request.

Only when a commander possesses strong power can he truly be respected.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sun Xiaozhu about his recent work in Lihu County, Lin Lan, who received a satisfactory answer, got down to the point of the trip.

"Feng Tao shouldn't be here yet. You can contact him and ask him to come over now. Take us to the living room. Tea and other things are ready."

"Okay, he should be staying in a nearby hotel now. I'll contact him right away."

After leading Lin Lan to a special reception room on the fourth floor, Sun Xiaozhu walked out of the hall and called Feng Tao.

In this reception room, four sofas are placed in groups of two, symmetrically in the center of the reception room, with a small table between each sofa.

The hall is brightly lit and has a faint fragrance.

Soon, other clerks brought over hot tea and snacks, placed them on the table between the sofas, and closed the door when they left.

Lin Lan and the other two were the only ones left in the reception room.

"If you are not confident about the loyalty of the human being in the car, I can use my mind control technology to make him completely obey you."

While waiting for Feng Tao to come, August sat on the sofa next to Lin Lan.

She leaned over and spoke with a smile in Lin Lan's ear in a voice that made people indulge.

"Thought control..."

After hearing the words of the witch Augusta, Lin Lan thought for a moment.

He had just forgotten that August did possess this ability.

In the game, one of the skills possessed by the Iron-Blooded Witch Auguste is [Insight Technology-Mind Control], which uses unique iron-blooded technology to create a powerful control effect to control the enemy.

This magical cheating ability is probably the reason why she calls herself a witch.

August's skills allow him to control even the Sirens, so controlling ordinary people should be easy for him.

"You don't have to be so extreme. When we go to Yunhai City later, it will be enough if you can make him subconsciously more loyal to us."

"Is it a 'hint' or something like that? Hehe, no problem, familiar, you are really kind."

August gently lifted up his long gray-purple hair and smiled faintly.

This was a very easy thing for her.

"Kind...huh?"

Lin Lan laughed at himself.

In order to prevent Sun Dewang from escaping his control in the future, he felt that doing this was already very unfair to the other party.

But there is no doubt that it is necessary to do so.

"If it were my sister or Frederick, they would definitely control this person completely so that they can make better use of him in the future."

Just as Lin Lan was beginning to feel a little guilty, Tirpitz spoke calmly.

Well, for the Iron Blood camp, this style of doing things is very normal.

But looking at August's gray-purple eyes that were looking at her with doting, Lin Lan suddenly remembered something.

Bismarck had told him before that the senior officers of the Western Continent's Navy had always been cooperating with Iron Blood...

"August, have you ever used your ability to control minds on the top brass of the Navy?"

"Familiar, guess what~ hehe..."

The witch took off her gloves, picked up a pastry from the table with her slender fingers, and fed it to the commander in front of her.

At the same time, she also let out a sweet laugh, and an elusive smile appeared on her beautiful and flawless face.

"Come on, dear, open your mouth~"

Looking at Auguste, who was feeding her cakes with an expressionless face, Lin Lan sighed and opened his mouth to let the witch in front of him feed him.

Feeling the sweetness of the pastry melting in his mouth, Lin Lan sighed.

It would be better to wait and ask Bismarck for clarification. The possibility of such a thing happening is too great.

Chapter 221 Sorrow

They didn't have to wait too long. After about ten minutes, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"The commander is waiting in the reception room. Please come in."

Sun Xiaozhu's voice sounded outside the door. August quickly stood up and stood behind Lin Lan side by side with Tirpitz.

As the door of the reception room was pushed open, Lin Lan stood up and looked.

A man in his early thirties wearing a white navy uniform walked in first. It was undoubtedly Feng Tao, the port commander of Lanjiang City.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, Lin Lan always feels that Feng Tao’s mental state seems not very good, and his face is very pale.

Three light cruiser chess pieces carrying various gifts followed behind Feng Tao, looking at Lin Lan and the others curiously.

"Brother Lin! I finally get to see you in person!"

As soon as he saw Lin Lan, a smile immediately appeared on Feng Tao's pale face. He strode forward and held Lin Lan's hands tightly.

When Lin Lan saw Feng Tao up close, she realized that the man's eyes were bloodshot, as if covered with a layer of light red.

"Thank you so much to you and the two Yalang County Commanders for your rescue. Damn it, I didn't expect you to be attacked by Leviathan. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
