Elder brother's garrison

"You ship girls and ordinary people who have lived in human society for a long time probably don't know this, so let me tell you today. The reason why life forms like Abyssal Ships exist is actually because of a mysterious energy called Abyssal Resentment. This mysterious energy called Abyssal Resentment is absolutely invisible to ordinary people with the naked eye." The middle-aged admiral smirked and snapped his fingers in front of everyone. "Abyssal Resentment is like a locust. As long as a little bit flows into the ordinary sea, it will multiply and expand at an extremely fast speed, infecting normal sea areas, and then Abyssal Ships will be created. In other words, as long as I put Abyssal debris contaminated with Abyssal Resentment into any ordinary sea area, in just a few months, the ordinary sea area will become an Abyssal sea area infected by the Abyssal Resentment in the Abyssal debris..."

The middle-aged admiral got to this point in the conversation.

His expression was also calm.

It was as if he wasn't talking about something as serious as ocean pollution.

It seems like they're just talking about a very trivial, ordinary, everyday matter.

"You!!!" Pompeii glared at the unfazed middle-aged admiral, taking a sharp step forward, her eyes blazing with fury. "You!! Do you know what you're doing..."

Pompeii hadn't finished speaking.

I suddenly felt my arm become heavy.

Pompeii turned around.

Behind Pompeii, Iowa swiftly reached out and tightly gripped his wrist.

Pompeii looked up at Iowa, panting heavily as they exchanged a few glances, her eyes filled with questions about why Iowa had stopped her.

Iowa silently mouthed the words, "Please trust the admiral."

Pompeii paused for a moment, glanced down at Little White, pondered for a long while with a conflicted expression, then gritted her teeth, shook off Iowa's hand, and then, as if she couldn't see it and wanted to calm down, turned her back to the middle-aged admiral in anger.

"Haha... She really is a straightforward girl."

Just before Pompeii stepped forward, a hint of displeasure flashed in the middle-aged admiral's eyes, but he quickly concealed it as Pompeii gave up. He smiled and clapped at Xiaobai and the others, saying, "Of all the people who heard this news for the first time, Miss, your reaction was the most intense."

"...Did you dump the deep-sea debris into the sea, then artificially create multiple deep-sea disasters, and finally sell the information to civilian mercenary groups?" Xiao Bai asked the middle-aged admiral in front of him.

"exactly."

"But... why do this? With the admiral's level of interpersonal skills, shouldn't he be able to find out a lot of deep-sea information every day in the naval base?" Xiaobai asked in a low voice.

"Oh, Miss, you seem to know quite a bit about our profession as admirals." The middle-aged admiral's gaze shifted to Xiaobai. He nodded with satisfaction, opened his arms, and spoke again, "However, Miss, there is still one thing you don't understand."

"...Which point are you referring to?"

"Our admiral can certainly learn a lot of information about the deep sea through his social network, but first of all, deep sea information is an unpredictable natural disaster. No one knows when or where it will happen. All we can know is where a deep sea disaster has already occurred. There is a big difference between the two."

The middle-aged admiral said, "Some deep-sea disasters occur in sparsely populated, almost uninhabited coastal areas, while others occur in the deep sea thousands of miles away from the coast. It is rare for them to coincidentally appear directly around wealthy coastal cities."

"...randomness?"

"That's right. The deep-sea disasters that our admirals encounter on a daily basis are almost all deep-sea disasters that will not endanger human survival in the short term. Even if a few deep-sea disasters do happen to be near a city, they will be detected by the nearby admirals in the first instance and quickly eliminated."

The middle-aged admiral said smugly.

"But I'm different."

I can manipulate deep-sea disasters to appear at will in any remote, oily, coastal area near a city.

These deep-sea disasters are a favorite of mercenary groups; they love to raid such places for profits. —Mercenary groups live a tough life, and since they're so poor, I might as well do them a favor and provide them with this kind of information. That way, they'll be grateful to me, and I'll achieve a win-win situation for both the mercenary group and you, the middleman. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

“…How wonderful…” Xiaobai murmured these two words, then looked up at the middle-aged admiral, “Pollution of the sea… can affect innocent people.”

"Well, there's no need for everyone to worry. I'm an admiral, not a murderer. The deep-sea information I create is usually sold to the mercenary groups that need it so they can clear it out as soon as possible. So, in terms of the outcome, it won't harm the public. At most, it'll just be a matter of losing money to avoid trouble."

The middle-aged admiral put his hands behind his back and looked smugly at the waiting hall around him.

"Being an admiral is truly wonderful," the middle-aged admiral exclaimed, giving a hearty smile to the young man and the others before him. "So, are you all satisfied with what I've heard?"

"..." Xiaobai didn't speak. She glanced at the ship girls around her, whose faces were obviously somber, and looked at the middle-aged admiral with a hint of doubt. "I understand the specifics, but I still have a question."

"Hmm? What's your question?"

"Why tell us something so important?" Xiaobai asked.

"...Hahahaha..." The middle-aged man laughed. "Ladies, this is my garrison. I'm in my own home now. What's wrong with me saying whatever I want? Besides, I've been in this business for five or six years. I'm already in cahoots with most mercenary groups and have my own power base. They can't do without me, so of course I'm not afraid. Let me ask you, have you ever seen a gangster boss in a movie who's afraid to admit he's killed someone?"

“…Ha.” Xiaobai sighed softly.

"Of course, the reason I've been talking so much with you ladies is simply because I'm in a good mood and it's just a matter of interest." The middle-aged admiral said, then put his hands behind his back and looked at the suitcase in Iowa's hands. "You are all newly recruited ship girl subordinates by General Jiang. Delicate women are more conspicuous, so it seems we'll have a long time to get to know each other—anyway, let's leave it at that for now and continue with the transaction?"

The middle-aged admiral finished speaking.

The black-clad ship girl who had gone to touch Iowa's briefcase reached out again and touched Iowa.

The black-clad ship girl's hand.

They quickly found the briefcase in Iowa's hand.

Just now.

“…Iowa,” Xiaobai called out softly.

"As ordered!"

Iowa smirked, swiftly retracted the briefcase into her ship's storage space, and then turned around in a flash.

next second.

There was a flash of white light.

With a muffled thud, Iowa delivered a spinning kick that crackled through the air as she slammed the black-clad ship girl who had walked up to her towards the hall door.

boom!

clatter clatter————

The black-clad ship girl shot out in an instant. Everyone present heard a whoosh as her body, like a black meteor, smashed through the door of the waiting room, followed by a loud crashing sound.

Iowa delivered a precise and powerful kick.

This surprised everyone present except for Xiaobai.

"You?!?!" The middle-aged admiral stared in shock and rage, looking at Little White standing next to Iowa, and roared furiously, "You son of a bitch, do you even know what you're doing?!"

“I know.” Xiaobai sighed, raised her head, took off her sunglasses to reveal a pair of dark golden eyes, and calmly looked at the middle-aged admiral who was glaring angrily.

Xiao Bai's gaze was utterly calm.

It resembles a pool of clear water.

The bottom is clearly visible.

"At first, I thought that perhaps the admiral who secretly traded with the mercenary group was just a greedy and lazy admiral who desperately needed a lesson in justice."

As Xiaobai spoke calmly, she raised her hand and, under the gaze of the middle-aged admiral, removed the baseball cap from the top of her head.

Wow————

A cascade of long, silver hair, like a waterfall, poured out from under Xiaobai's baseball cap as if by magic.

“But I think I was wrong.” Xiaobai looked up at the dazed middle-aged man in front of her.

Xiao Bai sighed.

His gaze held a hint of regret.

"It seems that you... have already..."

"It's hopeless."

Chapter 1351 I'm not a light cruiser!

"Hopeless?" The middle-aged admiral stared blankly at the little white boy in front of him, momentarily stunned. "What do you mean by that...? Wait... what's with that face of yours..."

The middle-aged admiral's gaze lingered on Xiaobai's face for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes.

White hair.

Golden eyes.

A petite girl.

Three distinct features, like some kind of mysterious key, were tentatively exploring the middle-aged admiral's mind.

then.

About six months ago, a TV interview I watched during my free time inexplicably resurfaced in my mind.

That was an interview about the legendary ship girl Missouri.

The interviewee was an admiral who wished to remain anonymous and not reveal the name of the naval base.

...to be promoted to...Admiral?

Then the middle-aged admiral suddenly took two steps back.

"I've seen your face before! You're the admiral?!" The middle-aged admiral hissed, gasping for breath. He pointed at Xiaobai, his face filled with disbelief. "You! You're not Xiao Jiang's men?"

"I never said we were under General Jiang's command," Xiao Bai said, spreading his hands as he addressed the middle-aged admiral.

"But! But how did you get in?!"

"...The ship girls at your door let us in," Xiaobai said innocently. "My ship girls said we were coming to see you, so they let us in."

"Damn it!!" The middle-aged admiral cursed angrily, then turned around and glared at the black-clad ship girls behind him.

The black-clad ship girls behind the middle-aged admiral looked at each other innocently.

"We have carefully noted down what you just said. It may become very important evidence in a little while. Thank you very much for your cooperation," Xiaobai said to the middle-aged admiral's back.

The middle-aged admiral paused slightly after hearing Xiaobai's words.

"call……"

The middle-aged admiral straightened up, gently adjusted his collar, then turned around and gave Xiaobai and the ship girl beside him a cold look.

Just a few seconds.

The middle-aged admiral had calmed down.

"You recorded it?" the middle-aged admiral asked with a cold face.

"Hmm... I guess so?"

"..." The middle-aged admiral sighed. "Phew, friend, since we're both admirals, it'll be easier to talk."

As the middle-aged admiral finished speaking, he reached out his hand to Xiaobai.

"Since we're all in the same profession, there's no need to make enemies, right? Although I don't know why you came here, it was my ship girl who made a mistake and brought you in, mistaking you for my friends... As for me, I was also a bit confused just now and made some unfounded boasts. Now that there's no proof, let's all pretend we don't know anything. You, hand over the recording, and I... naturally won't make things difficult for you. We'll let this matter drop, and you'll still be honored guests of our naval base. How about that?"

The middle-aged admiral stopped there.

His eyes were full of threat.

Subsequently.

Throughout the hall, at the front and back doors, and outside the windows.

A series of rustling sounds came from all directions.

In an instant, a large number of black-clad ship girls poured into the waiting room, completely blocking the huge waiting hall.

A large number of black-clad ship girls stood ready, their faces expressionless as they watched Xiaobai and the others in the middle of the waiting room.

The entire hall, inside and out, was filled with the aura of highly trained ship girls.

It was pitch black.

The momentum is terrifying.

When so many ship girls burst through the door in an instant, Pompeii, who was originally guarding the back of Xiaobai's team, looked at the black-clad ship girls around her and her face turned quite pale.

"So many highly trained ship girls...?" Pompeii looked at the ship girls around him in astonishment. "This... doesn't seem like the strength of a naval base ranked within the top 50..."

"..." Xiaobai glanced at Pompeii silently.

"Ranked fiftieth? Oh... oh, you mean the admiral's strength ranking?" The middle-aged man seemed to have heard something interesting from Pompeii. He curled the corners of his lips and glanced smugly at the ship girls in the Marquis's living room. "Looks like you... spent quite a bit of time investigating me before you came looking for me?"

"Aren't you in the top fifty of the strength rankings?" Xiaobai glanced at the black-clad ship girls in the hall, then looked at the middle-aged man and asked curiously.

"Hahahaha—So, data doesn't tell the whole story!" The middle-aged man spread his arms wide and laughed loudly. "It's true that I'm currently ranked in the top fifty in the world. But you have to understand, I'm a ten-year veteran admiral!"

"...Ten years..." Xiaobai frowned.

"I've fought, I've worked hard, and I've given my all. I've given everything for my goals." The middle-aged man said proudly to Xiaobai and the others, "I meticulously planned every chapter of the Admiral's chapters, from the first, second, and third chapters, all the way to the fifth chapter where I finally conquered them, and then entered the sixth and seventh chapters, becoming one of the most respected Admirals in the world's eyes—but that was many years ago. Time has worn down my edges, and I've slowly come to realize that grinding ships and activities day and night will damage my body. The world is so beautiful, why shouldn't I enjoy my life more?"

"..."

"I haven't been on a campaign in a long time, and I haven't participated in any events for a long time either. I've just been stationed here, living my own life." The middle-aged man spread his hands, his face full of pride. "I am indeed a top 50 admiral in the world now, but that's because I haven't challenged the rankings for six or seven years! I once had the opportunity to touch the threshold of the top ten in the world, and I was an admiral who reached that supreme realm! In other words, the true strength of my naval base is that of a top-tier naval base ranked in the teens in the world!"

The middle-aged admiral spoke with perfect clarity and articulation.

Surrounded by a hall full of black-clad ship girls, it appeared exceptionally imposing.
