Chapter 23: Undercurrents

In the study of a mansion in Zhoushan Mansion, a young man stood respectfully in front of a very dignified middle-aged man. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged man was wearing a white military uniform, his unattractive face had a pair of extremely sharp eyes, and his short black hair stood on end, making him look extremely sophisticated. He was sitting on his back on the couch, looking down at the young man.

"How's the investigation going?" He asked.

"It has been investigated clearly, the target's parents are both civilians, and their usual work has nothing to do with the battleship, and the cause of death is an accident, and there is no sign of man-made. Since there were no relatives around him, and the target was all dependent on his own part-time work to support his life, it was impossible for him to have time to contact and learn advanced warship modification techniques, so his subordinates speculated that the Shikinami had undergone deep transformation before making contact with the target. When the young man heard this, he immediately reported the results of the investigation during this period of time.

"So, the target was pure luck and slipped out of the dump?" The middle-aged man's tone was a little playful.

"That's what my subordinates think."

"Okay, that's all for the matter, by the way, how's the preparation for that matter?" The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then asked again.

"My subordinates have contacted seven media outlets, and they have promised to help build momentum when the time comes." The young man whispered back.

"Well, have you got the stuff?"

"I've got it, but Ling Qianjin is extremely dissatisfied with this, I'm afraid ......"

"She's still too young to understand what this means to all mankind, you have been working hard these days, be responsible for watching her, and if you find anything wrong, detain her immediately."

"Detention? Wouldn't that be too harsh, I'm afraid Ling Qianjin will resent you afterwards. The young man was hesitant.

"In the face of the overall situation, what is all private feelings?" The middle-aged man said in a serious tone.

"What the dean said is that his subordinates have been taught." When the young man heard this, he hurriedly nodded yes.

"Okay, you go down first, and contact me if you have anything." The middle-aged man waved his hand.

"Yes......" The young man bowed when he heard this, but did not immediately retreat.

"What? Anything else? The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The subordinates are just a little confused." The young man hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Huh?"

"Why didn't the dean contact the target directly, maybe the other party would be willing to hand over the Fubo to us, after all, it would not hurt him, but he might benefit from it." He asked, puzzled.

"You know what? This young man knew that there was something unusual in the deep sea and dared to go alone to investigate, which shows that he was not small, and he was willing to kneel and beg for Fubo afterwards, which shows that he attaches great importance to Fubo, a young man like this, ordinary coercion and temptation are useless, only by using some means to kill his heart first, and then tempting him with fame and fortune, he may be obedient. The middle-aged man explained slowly.

"In other words, even if we suppress him, we may not be able to get the results we want?" The young man frowned when he heard this.

"Human nature is the most difficult thing to judge, and it would be best if we could solve it peacefully. If not, for the sake of the overall situation of the Federation, I will have to use other methods. When the middle-aged man said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It has been three days since Fu Bo was sent to the maintenance room, and Chen Xiaoming has also been waiting outside the maintenance room for three days.

It stands to reason that a destroyer like Fubo, even if it is in a broken state, will never be repaired for more than a day, after all, the technology of the maintenance room is also brought by the ship's girls from the other world, and it is powerful enough to be classified into the category of black technology, but this time Fubo's injury is different, she is in a broken state to forcibly increase the speed, and she insisted on nearly half an hour, which greatly damaged her core origin, so the repair time has become extraordinarily long.

In fact, after the inspection, the maintenance personnel found Chen Xiaoming to explain the situation, as a professional, he thinks that there is no need to repair the Fubo, it is better to dismantle it and replace it with resources, after all, even if it is repaired, the performance of the Fubo will be greatly reduced, and then it may not even be possible to launch and sail normally, let alone continue to fight.

"As ship girls, their duty is to fight the deep sea, and if they can't do this, their existence itself is meaningless." That's what the maintenance staff said.

Hearing this at that time, Chen Xiaoming's eyes were red and he was about to rush up to fist and kick the maintenance personnel, thanks to Liu Yinan beside him, who was quick to hold him to death, otherwise he would probably have to be a brother and sister in the confinement room with the young captain.

Speaking of the young captain who shot his colleague, the punishment he received was only three days of confinement, which caused the dissatisfaction of some of the navy, but they were all forced down by the fat commander. The reason why the punishment will be so light is because of Chen Xiaoming's face, but afterwards, the fat commander also talked to him privately, if this kind of thing happens again, it is best to say hello first.

Aside from the topic, when Chen Xiaoming learned that the injury was serious, and if he repaired it in the maintenance room, he was afraid that his performance would be greatly reduced, the first thought in his mind was to bring the maintenance back to the system, but when he contacted the system, he realized that even the system could not do better, unless he could come up with a damage tube.

Damage management is a unique product in the battleship girl system, and it requires military merit to be exchanged, Chen Xiaoming has checked it before, and found that whether it is in the real world or in the small world of the system, he can only get 1 point of military merit for every ten deep-sea battleships he sinks, and the damage management needs 200 points of military merit to get it, and when he gets it, there is not even rust left.

The damage tube could not be obtained in a short time, and the situation of the compress could not be delayed, Chen Xiaoming almost lost his hair.

In fact, Chen Xiaoming doesn't care about whether he can fight after the repair of Shikibo, he is only afraid that when Shikibo is sober, he will not be able to accept this situation, and then a bad change will happen, after all, this matter is not without precedent, and there are many ship girls in the history of the Federation who have self-destructed, and the reasons are mostly similar to Fubo's current situation. Fortunately, the system told him that even if there was no damage to the tube, it could restore the performance of the compression, or even go further, which made Chen Xiaoming relieved himself and sent the compression to the maintenance room.

"It seems that she must clear 1-4 as soon as possible, and only when Lexington has it can she bring her experience to the non-destructive brush, and when she reaches level 44...... Chen Xiaoming planned in his heart.

"Chen Xiaoming, come here, come with me!"

A hurried call interrupted Chen Xiaoming's train of thought, he got up to look, and found that it was Zhang Chunshan waving his hand to call him.

"What happened?" He walked over and asked.

"I don't know, I originally wanted to come over today to see the situation of Shibo, but as soon as I arrived at the dock, I saw a group of people gathered outside, they didn't look like fans, everyone looked angry, what did you say to explain things clearly, I saw that the guards outside couldn't stop it, so I ran in from the side door to inform you." Zhang Chunshan grabbed him and dragged him to the side, explaining as he spoke.

Chen Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this, and secretly said that the matter of killing the commander was exposed?

Thinking of this, he frowned and began to recall his previous experience, only to find that there was no possibility of leaking secrets. The queen of heaven and several other shipwives were retrieved by Shikiba shortly after he sent them for repairs, and as he escaped from the encirclement of the deep sea, he had kept an eye on the situation behind him, and was sure that no other captain had survived.

But what else could cause a riot but this? Is it because of the damage to the navy?' He thought puzzled.
