Elder brother's garrison

Page 1047

Standing not far from the middle-aged admiral.

They were two women.

She was dressed in a bright red dress, with dark eyes, red lips, and skin as white as snow. Her beauty was unparalleled, surpassing all the ship girls the middle-aged admiral had ever seen in his life, like an alluring and delicate red rose.

Another woman was dressed in a white admiral's uniform, with a long ponytail, a serious and solemn expression, and striking features. Her long hair danced in the wind, like a bunch of pale white lilies.

Behind these two women stood rows of ship girls.

It's unclear when these two appeared beside the middle-aged admiral; perhaps they had been there for a while, but they only spoke up when the admiral burst into laughter.

The soreness in his eyes intensified the longer he kept them open, until finally the middle-aged admiral closed his eyes again.

But the look of terror on the middle-aged admiral's blood-soaked face did not diminish in the slightest.

If you want to know why.

Of course, it was the middle-aged admiral who knew them.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that any admiral who has ever reached the top ten in the world has basically seen the faces of these two high-ranking admirals.

"You...you...are..." the middle-aged admiral murmured, his voice trembling slightly, "you..."

"Sister Ringo! Sister Duan!" Xiaobai spoke up before the middle-aged admiral. She raised her hands high, laughed at the two women in red and white in the distance, and ran towards them.

Governor Lin Qing and Captain Duan Shuiliu's serious gazes softened instantly when they shifted from the middle-aged admiral to Xiao Bai, who was running towards them.

Xiaobai opened her arms and threw herself into Duan Shuiliu's arms, smiling at Admiral Ringo beside her.

"Sister Duan! Sister Lin Qing, has the matter been resolved on your end?"

"It's resolved." Ringo nodded.

"All ship girls of the Black Flame Naval Base are under your command." Duan Shuiliu bent down and patted Xiaobai on the shoulder. "We heard your conversation just now too."

"Sister Duan, do you have any evidence?" Xiaobai looked at Duan Shuiliu apologetically. "While you were dealing with those ship girls from the Black Flame Naval Base in the waiting room, we went to find this admiral, and he has already destroyed the evidence."

“Evidence isn’t so easy to erase. If you’re willing to look, I can find a lot.” Duan Shuiliu shook his head dismissively.

Finish this sentence.

Duan Shuiliu and Lin Qing looked at the weapons warehouse with its doors wide open not far away.

Inside the warehouse, the struggling figures of the deep-sea amphibious ships came into view of Duan Shuiliu and Linqin.

At the same time, a deep look flashed in both of their eyes.

—Xiaobai is the world's number one admiral.

Of course, when dealing with certain issues, one can naturally use the solutions used by the world's number one admiral.

As early as when she left Fish City and took the train to Mianjiang City, Xiaobai contacted Duan Shuiliu and Lin Qin to inform them about the Black Flame Garrison.

This wasn't overstepping their bounds; in fact, the duties that Ringo and Duan Shuiliu were responsible for were related to this matter.

Governor Ringo is the Inland Governor, which is basically a sinecure, but she still has the power to command all the naval districts. She is the superior of all the admirals. The admirals selling and leaking deep-sea information is an extremely serious matter. Now that Shiro has directly notified Ringo, as the Inland Governor, Ringo naturally has no reason not to come.

Duan Shuiliu's case is even simpler. He was originally the captain of the military police, whose job was to rectify the misconduct of the admiral. At this time, the Black Flame Garrison was leading the way in committing atrocities, so it was only natural for the military police to come to the Black Flame Garrison to arrest people.

Rather.

It even feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Because the message arrived a little late, and because of the long distance, even though their vehicles were much more advanced, they were still not as fast as Xiaobai's.

Duan Shuiliu and Lin Qin arrived at the Black Flame Garrison some time after Xiao Bai.

At that time, Xiaobai and her ship girls were locked in a fierce battle with the ship girls of the Black Flame Naval Base. It was thanks to the timely arrival of these two people that the ship girls of the Black Flame Naval Base were saved.

“My ship girl just said she sensed a deep-sea presence in the naval base, so we came to check it out.” Ringo withdrew her gaze from the weapons depot and calmly said to Shiro, “I didn’t expect there to be a deep-sea amphibious ship here.”

"Ah...it's probably because we opened the weapons depot door just now, letting the aura of the deep sea leak out." Xiaobai said, turning back to look at the weapons depot.

The walls of the Black Flame Garrison's weapons depot were thick and gleamed with the luster of rare metals.

It seems that the Black Flame Naval Base has done a lot of work to isolate the deep-sea aura in order to secretly raise the deep-sea amphibious ships. No wonder even Xiaobai, who hadn't released his Admiral Network, didn't sense the presence of the deep-sea aura when the door was closed.

all in all.

Now that the captain of the military police and the governor of the Inland Governor's Office have seen this weapons depot full of deep-sea amphibious ships,

No matter what, the Black Flame Garrison is completely finished.

The middle-aged admiral seemed to have realized this as well. After seeing Ringo and Duan Shuiliu, he collapsed to the ground, completely giving up the struggle.

Behind Admiral Ringo emerged a number of ship girls from the Governor's Mansion. These ship girls, one by one, led the handcuffed black-clad ship girls to the middle-aged admiral, lifted him off the ground on a stretcher, and transported him outside the naval base.

Behind Duan Shuiliu, the ship girls dressed in military police uniforms, carrying various tools, ran in unison into the weapons depot of the Black Flame Garrison.

"Sister Duan, Sister Ringo, what will become of this admiral of the Black Flame Garrison?" Xiaobai asked Duan Shuiliu and Ringo.

"The sentencing still needs to be investigated, but he is the main culprit... so the best outcome is that he will serve his entire life in prison," said Admiral Duan Shuiliu.

"Then he can never be an admiral again, right?"

"I can't be that position again." Duan Shuiliu said, his eyes filled with apology. "It was my mistake to allow someone like that to become an admiral."

"The appearance of such people isn't your problem, Sister Duan," Xiaobai quickly encouraged Duan Shuiliu. "Ah... well, what about the ship girls in this naval base..."

"This is a serious matter. The corruption in this naval base is no longer just the admiral's problem. The ship girls in this naval base also bear some responsibility for aiding and abetting the corrupt." Duan Shuiliu was silent for a while. "In short, they will all be taken back to the military police headquarters... We will wait for the verdict before making any further decisions."

"Ah..." Xiaobai withdrew her hand and nodded.

“They are not the main culprits, and after all, the relationship between ship girls and admirals is quite special, so they will at least not suffer the same severe punishment as their admirals,” Duan Shuiliu said to Xiaobai. “You can rest assured about that.”

"Ah! That's good!" Xiaobai nodded.

Just then, the ship girls who had run into the Black Flame Garrison's weapons depot also ran out.

"Report, Captain! There are a total of 117 Abyssal Ships in the weapons depot, including 40 small Abyssal ships, 50 medium Abyssal ships, and 27 large Abyssal ships!" A military police ship girl reported to Duan Shuiliu. "All of them are in a state of severe damage, their ship equipment has been basically stripped off, and they are being kept in iron cages to maintain their last breath."

"They even have large ships..." Xiaobai looked at the ship girl who came to report with slight surprise.

The deep-sea amphibious ships I just saw in front of the warehouse were basically the lowest-level, lowest-grade deep-sea warships in the deep-sea food chain. They were the kind of expendable, low-level deep-sea minions.

Xiao Bai thought that all the deep-sea amphibious ships in the entire weapons depot were these low-level deep-sea amphibious ships.

Unexpectedly, this admiral was even bolder than Xiaobai had imagined.

"Yes." The ship girl's gaze lingered on Xiaobai for a moment, then she nodded. "There's one more thing..."

"what?"

"On the last level of the warehouse, in the prison for large deep-sea amphibious ships, there was a cell that clearly showed signs of a large deep-sea ship having been there in the past few days, but it's gone now," the ship girl reported.

"In the last few days? Maybe it's a recent transaction..." Xiaobai said, then nodded and thought for a moment, "Hmm... if it's a recent transaction... then it should be from the small fishing village. I was drawn to the deep-sea police situation there... um?"

Xiao Bai was suddenly stunned.

Wait a minute.

Come to think of it, Pompeii seemed to have mentioned that the small fishing village was under the jurisdiction of the Black Flame Garrison, right?

If deep-sea information can be created at will, why would the Black Flame Garrison create deep-sea information within its own jurisdiction?

Xiao Bai thought for a while, then realized something was off.

Why……

Ok……

The admiral of this Black Flame Garrison is even worse than I imagined; I feel like there's something I haven't considered.

Xiao Bai pondered for a while, recalling what the admiral of the Black Flame Garrison had said before.

Ok.

They once reached the threshold of being among the world's top ten.

Now, due to laziness, he has fallen to 50th place in the world.

The garrison town that hasn't been mobilized for seven years...

Seven years without going to war?

seven years?

Xiao Bai blinked.

The garrison has mandatory missions every year; they should all be sent to the Chapter Sea to complete an expedition, unless there are deep-sea dangers in the area they are stationed in. So what exactly is this Black Flame Garrison…?

Ah!

Xiao Bai was taken aback.

His face immediately turned panicked.

Oh no!

Chapter 1356 Old Driver

The admiral's job is very arduous.

The governors and naval districts that manage the work of the admirals issue different levels of expedition targets to the admirals and naval districts around the world every year. There are no substantial rewards for completing the targets, but those who fail to complete them will be severely punished.

These expedition quotas are like the minimum workload each year. The stipulated expedition volume is actually not large. For those hardworking admirals who have already maximized their expedition volume, the expedition volume required by the expedition quota is less than one-tenth of their annual workload, so it is not very noticeable. However, for those lazy admirals, it is a rather troublesome issue.

As the saying goes, "One is born in hardship and dies in comfort." Once an admiral becomes complacent, the development of his naval base will also slow down. Although it may not seem to cause any harm in the short term, if it goes on for too long, let alone fighting the deep sea, many bad habits and evils may even arise within the admiral's own circle.

For this reason, the number of expeditions to be dispatched is often set at a level that will not burden any diligent admirals, but will also give all lazy admirals a headache and force them to take action.

The expedition quota is a rule designed to encourage admirals to participate in expeditions and maintain activity within the admiral community.

Is there a way to ignore this annoying deployment metric?

Of course there are.

Deployment quotas are not a hard and fast rule.

As mentioned at the beginning, the admiral's job is to fight in the deep sea, protect humanity, and protect the land.

Therefore, all rules and restrictions imposed on admirals must, to varying degrees, reduce the admirals' primary duties.

For example, if a deep-sea disaster of a certain scale occurs in the area under the jurisdiction of the admiral, then the admiral can completely cancel the annual expedition quota and devote himself to dealing with the deep-sea disaster in the area.

—If what the admiral of the Black Flame Garrison told Xiaobai and the others earlier was true.

So Black Flame Garrison has been a garrison that hasn't gone on a campaign for seven years.

This Black Flame Garrison has not met its expedition quota for seven years.

What an impressive display!

It's worth noting that even the world's number one naval base, a rookie naval base, had only been absent from work for two or three years before Xiaobai took office. In the end, the pressure from above was too great, and Governor Muyu had no choice but to trick Xiaobai out of Old Bai's house by making him cry and beg for forgiveness.

Just those two or three years of absenteeism.

It was only because the higher-ups considered the newbie naval base's extraordinary strength, which easily surpassed the world's second-best, the admiral's close relationship with various governors, his marriage to the young matriarch of the Mu family, his Pacific Governor's pendant, his complicated relationship with the military police captain, and his ability to subdue the world's top ten naval bases one by one, thus enlivening the positive atmosphere within the entire admiral community, that the newbie naval base was allowed to remain dormant for so long.

On the backing.

There shouldn't be any other naval base in the world that's bigger than the newbie naval base.

Therefore, the Black Flame Garrison could not possibly have been simply idle for seven years.

Therefore, the Black Flame Garrison must have repeatedly postponed its expedition quotas by dealing with deep-sea disasters in the surrounding areas.

—So here's the problem.

Although Mianjiang City, where the Black Flame Garrison is located, is located along the coast, the surrounding waters are considered a long-term safe zone. Even if deep-sea vessels occasionally appear, they are nothing more than small, insignificant deep-sea creatures. Such minor deep-sea disasters cannot be used as a reason to cancel the deployment quota.

If you say so.

This Black Flame Garrison is definitely using the tactic of crying "stop thief" to create serious deep-sea disasters in remote waters around the area, and then using the cleanup of the deep-sea disasters it created to evade its expedition quota year after year!

It's currently winter, and the time for the annual expedition quotas of the Black Flame Garrison is fast approaching. The Black Flame Garrison is probably also considering the issue of this year's deep-sea disaster—or rather, they may have already begun to create one.

The ship girls from the military police just said that in the deepest part of the Black Flame Naval Base's weapons depot, there was only one cage containing a large deep-sea amphibious ship that showed signs of being opened.

If Xiaobai isn't mistaken, these large deep-sea amphibious ships, located deep within the weapons depot, were secretly raised by the Black Flame Garrison in order to create a deep-sea disaster severe enough to disqualify them from deployment.

Why specifically a large deep-sea amphibious vessel?

Because if all of them were released alive into safe waters, the threat posed by large deep-sea amphibious ships would be even more terrifying.

If I'm not mistaken, they should have already taken action against the Black Flame Garrison!

The location where the Black Flame Garrison attacked is very likely the sea area of ​​the small fishing village where Xiaobai once stayed!
