Elder brother's garrison

"What's wrong with Xiaobai?"

As soon as Xiaobai uttered two words, Lexington reacted extremely quickly.

—Ah, it's become a sensitive situation.

"Speaking of which, did Xiaobai have fun?" Lexington asked.

"Ah, um... I had a lot of fun..."

“Speaking of which,” Bismarck interrupted Xiaobai, stepping forward since the topic had turned to this, “Xiaobai has activated the Admiral Network on the island.”

Lexington's smile vanished.

While they might be joking around, Lexington is quite reliable when it comes to serious matters.

"Gaga."

"I'm here."

"Close the door for me." Lexington poured everyone present a cup of black tea.

He gestured for everyone to sit on the sofa.

Saratoga closed the door.

Lexington looked at Little White with a resentful gaze.

The novice watching couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

“No need to apologize,” Lexington sighed. “I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.”

Having witnessed Xiaobai's abilities, Lexington had a vague feeling that Xiaobai would not eventually follow the path of an ordinary admiral as she had envisioned.

People like Xiaobai will shine sooner or later.

“Then tell me what happened,” Lexington said.

Seeing the atmosphere around him suddenly become serious, Veneto suddenly became restless.

Um, am I being a bit redundant?

It seems like we're about to talk about something very serious.

Now that I've arrived and reported for duty, does that mean I have nothing more to do?

Veneto stood up as he thought of this.

Things seem to be getting a bit complicated. I guess I should just leave early.

Since they weren't even among the ship girls in the core area of ​​the naval base, getting involved in this kind of thing would only cause them more trouble.

Although I am very capable in combat and am an excellent battleship, I am not confident that I can handle things well.

“Then let’s step aside.” Veneto stood up from the sofa. “What happens next shouldn’t concern an outsider like me, right?”

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked at Veneto with a strange expression.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Veneto asked.

"Hasn't Veneto already connected with me?" Xiaobai asked.

"Ah, it's a link."

“Veneto is the third ship girl I linked with,” Xiaobai said.

"what?"

The order in which an admiral links with a ship girl is usually the same as the order in which the ship girls are acquired. Therefore, the order in which the links are established should also affect the status of the ship girls.

Just like Saratoga as the first wife and Bismarck as the second wife.

Then, Veneto, the third link, has become an incredibly important third wife to Xiaobai.

It even ranked ahead of Lexington, which hadn't even had time to be linked yet.

“Congratulations, Veneto.” Lexington clapped her hands with a smile. “Comrade Third Concubine.”

Veneto, who had just returned to the naval base and successfully taken over a new position, was completely bewildered.

Chapter 78: The Admiral is a High-Risk Profession

Veneto only wanted to be an ordinary ship girl in the naval base.

It's just the kind of life where you sunbathe on ordinary days, do whatever you want, and when the naval base needs you, you go out and fire a few shots at the deep-sea flagship, and then collect your battleship salary and that's how you live your life.

Veneto didn't think about anything else.

When Veneto joined the naval base, it already had enough reliable ship girls to support it. She felt that it was enough for her to be someone who could contribute to the naval base's combat strength.

Whatever the core secrets of the naval base, or the close contact with the admiral, it doesn't matter anymore.

However, things are unpredictable. It was precisely Veneto, who had no desires or wants, who was caught up in the vortex of the new admiral at this time.

Veneto certainly had legitimate reasons to participate in the following dialogue.

This puts his four destroyer subordinates in a difficult position. If the following events become too complicated to be reported, then Veneto will have to put in a lot of effort to train his subordinates' secrecy skills.

Veneto glanced at the destroyer beside him.

Four pairs of pure, large eyes.

Keeping things secret looks like it's going to be very difficult...

"Things are going to be pretty boring, you guys go out and play with Fubuki and the others." After thinking for a while, Veneto still felt it was better to throw the destroyers out as soon as possible. "It's been two years, hasn't it?"

Veneto also glanced at Lexington.

Lexington smiled and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to Veneto's actions.

A destroyer is a destroyer after all. Rather than participating in the adults' boring conversations, it prefers to vent its excess energy outdoors. Without giving Veneto much thought to its protective actions, it said goodbye to Little White and ran out in a hurry.

After the destroyers left, there were many empty seats on the sofa, and Saratoga took the opportunity to quietly move over to rub against Little White.

The little paws clung to Little White's arm and wouldn't let go.

Lexington was watching Saratoga's underhanded tactics.

It seems the rift between me and Xiaobai has been cleared up, which is a good thing, I suppose.

Lexington sent Saratoga to Whitebeard's side to try and improve their relationship, which seems to be a great victory for Lexington.

“Now you can start talking,” Lexington said.

“Yes, we were kidnapped once on the island,” Bismarck explained from the side.

Bismarck recounted what had happened on her side, from seeing Saratoga out of control to retrieving Little White from the abandoned film studio, and then mentioning that she discovered the real Ella the next day.

Lexington's mood remained stable.

Saratoga originally thought that her sister's emotions would fluctuate strongly in the two places where Xiaobai was forced to activate the Admiral Network and was kidnapped.

Lexington looked somewhat troubled after Bismarck finished speaking.

“Hmm, this is indeed a difficult situation,” Lexington said.

Xiao Bai lowered his head.

"Don't feel guilty. Little White, you did a great job." Lexington smiled at Little White. "You have done everything you could as a human being."

Instead of trembling and running away when facing a powerful enemy, she tried her best to find a breakthrough. As a newly appointed admiral, or even as a sixteen-year-old girl, Lexington has done an excellent job.

"But I was unprepared to have the Admiral's Network. Didn't Lexington say that this power wouldn't change people?" Xiaobai was worried that he would slowly lose his humanity if he activated the network without preparation, just like Lexington had said.

“Ah, yes, that is indeed a problem,” Lexington replied. “However, well, I also said that the drug itself is not the problem, right?”

"kindness."

"I'm just a ship girl after all, so it's not easy for me to answer questions like that," Lexington said. "But for Shiro, it should be no problem."

Someone as timid as Xiaobai isn't cut out to become an antisocial personality.

Lexington thought to himself as he slowly took a sip of tea.

"Is that so..." Xiaobai was still a little uneasy.

In fact, Xiaobai has been a little afraid lately that she might become like the villain in a novel.

The Admiral Network is indeed quite convenient. You can contact ship girls from anywhere and share their senses. As a high-level Admiral Network obtained from the fake Ella, it also has a similar effect of suppressing ship girls.

However, the suppression effect did not seem to be as good as that of the fake Ella, who was paralyzed on the ground and unable to move. The ship girls controlled by Xiaobai's network were only unable to use their ship equipment.

Just like Richelieu before him.

Simply put, Xiaobai's internet skills have a bit of a cheat code feel to them.

At least within the ship girl community, Shiro can do whatever he wants, and no ship girl will have the power to resist him no matter what he does.

"As for the fake Ella, I will report the information to my superiors," Lexington said, putting down his teacup. "However, according to Bismarck, this fake Ella seems to possess very high abilities. If someone like her wants to evade the search, we probably wouldn't be able to find her anyway..."

Xiaobai was very curious about the fake Ella's purpose.

The fake Ella is indeed a very outstanding person, full of wisdom, good at acting, and her courage and strategy far surpass those of Xiaobai and his group.

With just one person and one ship girl, she replaced the real Ella in a blatant act of substitution, and then orchestrated a party, inviting famous admirals from around the world. After manipulating them, she managed to escape unscathed.

If the fake Ella really intended to harm him, Xiaobai felt he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish long ago.

She's so amazing that even a novice like me can't help but give her a shout-out!

“Oh, by the way, I received a notification while I was at the naval base,” Lexington said. “Someone is writing a complaint letter to a company in the name of our naval base, concerning the treatment of ship girls.”

“It’s me,” Bismarck said, raising his hand.

“I know it is,” Lexington said. “It looks like your trip was really exciting.”

"Haha..." Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems like you've really encountered a lot of things.

Veneto looked at Little White and Lexington and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Great, it doesn't seem to be anything too serious.

It's basically about the admiral being kidnapped, then being forcibly activated on the admiral network by some strange person, and then possibly developing antisocial behavior in the future...

Looks like we can relax now.

These days, for those who work as admirals, this is considered a minor matter.

Chapter 79 Promptly Discipline Unruly Children

The conversation ended quickly.

Bismarck did not tell Lexington about Little White's injury on the island.

Although Lexington is a reliable and steady ship girl, she is also an overprotective elder.

Even Bismarck couldn't be sure if Lexington would immediately call on a few of the top carrier commanders at the naval base and take a full complement of B-25s to blow that damned island to smithereens if he told Lexington that Little White had been attacked by thugs on Colorado Island and was hospitalized.

"Then I'll take my leave." Seeing that the chat between the ship girls was about to end, Veneto immediately raised her hand. "Excuse my impertinence, but my subordinates and I still need some time to clean our dormitories, and it's getting late."

Veneto simply wanted to be a battleship in a naval base.

I just wanted to live a carefree life, living in seclusion during ordinary times, and then jumping out to save the world in times of crisis.

Conspiracies, kidnappings, admirals, vixens, wedding rings—I really want to avoid them like the plague.

“Ah, speaking of which, I should go back and visit Tirpitz,” Bismarck said, as if she had just remembered something.

“As for Tirpitz, Eugen should be able to take care of him without any problems,” Lexington said.

"Has Eugen returned?" Bismarck asked.

"kindness."

“Okay.” Bismarck nodded.

With Eugen taking care of her, her younger sister at least wouldn't starve.

However, given Eugen's personality, he's likely to be bullied by Tirpitz again.

“I’ll go back and check,” Bismarck stood up. “I’ll also settle my luggage, then I’ll go steal aluminum. Little White stays here and doesn’t move.”

Bismarck, who loved his work, said this.

“Actually, you could rest today, after all, you’ve been traveling for a long time,” Lexington said. “And I’ve said it many times, the naval base isn’t short of aluminum right now. Bismarck doesn’t need to work so hard.”
