How to fall in love with a ship girl?

This will help Xu Huan reduce work pressure.

If I had chosen Elbing...

Even if it is not, it will add a lot of things and burdens to young people that are not within the scope of their work.

So when Xu Huan said that Elbin would temporarily serve as the secretary ship for a period of time, not only Elbin himself, but also Z23 felt that it was not appropriate.

After all, the young man has just arrived at Iron Blood and is unfamiliar with the place. Does he have to distract himself to take care of Elbin?

"commander..."

Z23 gently tugged at the young man's clothes, lowered his voice, and wanted to say something, but the young man simply waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to take it too seriously.

"Don't worry..."

Xu Huan explained: "Isn't Bismarck still in charge of the entire Iron Blood business? So she is called a secretary ship, but in fact she doesn't have to do anything..."

"And considering the possible guess I told you before, Z23, the infirmary is likely to become a lot busier in the near future... It seems like it would be a good idea to have Elbing help you out?"

"Commander, what you mean is..."

"Yes, I plan to stay in the infirmary for a long time in the near future... or in the future, just treat it as a daily job..."

The feeling of handling official business in the port area was something that the young man had experienced deeply when he was in the royal family.

Even with the help of Belfa and War-weary, he still felt a little boring. Although he brought Belfa with him to Iron Blood this time, Iron Blood's housework would not be handled by Belfa. In that case, he might as well find an 'easier' job.

At the moment, healing the ship girls can bring a sense of accomplishment and improve the relationship between myself and the iron-blooded ship girls.

And most importantly...

Based on Xu Huan's current understanding of Bismarck's character, it is unlikely that the other party will hand over the power of the Iron Blood to him directly like the royal family did in a short period of time, or even for a long time.

The Iron-Blooded Prime Minister must have a strong desire to control the affairs of the port.

I have just arrived, and even if I have the status of a commander, I don't think the other party will give up all the power so easily.

Trust and relationships need to be built gradually, not simply because you are the commander.

There is still a long way to go to gain recognition...

The road to uniting the two camps is longer.

One of the best options is to start with the weak points of the port area, namely medical care.

From this perspective, it would be better to say that Bismarck's approach was correct. After all, it would be a bit too careless for the royal family to completely trust Xu Huan right from the start.

Or did the Royal Family have their own different opinions? Or was it because I had helped a lot before entering the port area?

If you have time and remember it later, just ask Befa...

While Xu Huan was thinking, Z23 beside him quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down everything he had experienced today.

Secretary ship...the commander's healing ability, the possible speculations about the Sirens, and the long-term responsibility for the iron-blooded medical work in the infirmary in the future were all recorded in the notebook.

Although I didn't spend a long time with Xu Huan, the shocking things I encountered were almost more than those in the previous month combined.

This also made her feel a little pressure, but it was quickly diluted by the surprise brought by the commander.

The new life brought by the commander may need to be much more interesting than before.

I just don't know when it will be my turn to get the position of secretary ship?

After completing today's mission, she not only needs to organize and upload the information to the port log, but also needs to go to Tirpitz in person to report...

"Secretary ship...Is it really okay for me to be so useless?"

Elbin watched the two of them decide on the identity and position of his secretary ship in a single word, and murmured in confusion.

"It's okay... Miss Elbing, this is a part that every ship girl will experience..."

Z23 persuaded: "With the help of the commander, I believe that Sister Elbing will regain her confidence..."

"I feel like... this isn't going to work. If everyone becomes a secretary ship... won't it make me seem even more useless..."

"Ms. Elbing..."

Even the usually cheerful and positive Z23 was confused by Elbing's words and didn't know how to respond.

"Elbin...does he have any friends in the port area?" Xu Huan pulled Z23 aside, looked at Elbin with a sad look on his face, and asked in a low voice.

"No, Commander. Sister Elbin basically keeps to herself. I've never heard of her being close to anyone..."

"Fine...."

Xu Huan nodded: "I understand the situation... I'll take care of Elbin for the time being..."

Chapter 225: Iron-blooded Sea Legends

The matters assigned by the secretary ship came to a temporary end. After that, Xu Huan was too lazy to wander around other places in Tiexue, so he simply stayed in the infirmary to familiarize himself with his future working environment.

After learning that Xu Huan might stay in Tiexue's medical room permanently, Beifa rushed over from home and thoroughly checked and cleaned the medical room inside and out. He also prepared a special lounge for Xu Huan to rest when he was tired.

In Befa's words, all the configurations inside have been made according to the standards that Xu Huan is most accustomed to. There is even a special large bed, so he can spend the night in the infirmary instead of going home.

As for Z23, after lending a hand, he also hurriedly rushed to the Iron Blood command room to prepare for his daily work report.

The girl walked to the door and knocked twice gently. After receiving a cold "come in" from inside, she slowly opened the door.

In the command room today, Bismarck was sitting at his desk handling port business as usual, with a calm expression, showing no signs of sadness or joy.

When she saw Z23 coming, her calm expression gradually eased a little: "Sit down... Tirpitz told me that she should be here soon."

"Okay, Miss Bismarck."

Z23 was not surprised and found a comfortable seat on the sofa nearby.

Although Tirpitz was responsible for her main tasks, the matter was after all related to the commander, so when Tirpitz listened to his daily reports, Bismarck would also participate.

It is equivalent to the leader’s leader coming to listen to your and the leader’s report.

Seeing Z23 coming, Bismarck's thoughts gradually jumped out of her busy official duties. She picked up her mobile phone and called up the task log that had just been reported, intending to get a general understanding of what happened before listening to the detailed report.

But after looking for a while, a hint of surprise flashed across his originally calm face, and his handsome brows unconsciously frowned.

“Z23....”

She pressed her hand between her eyebrows and shouted softly.

"Yes, Miss Bismarck."

"Have you sent all this information to Tirpitz?"

"Yes, I sent it to Sister Tirpitz and Sister Bismarck at the same time..." Z23 was not surprised by Bismarck's reaction, and he had already prepared a response.

After all, it involves the commander and the sirens, which is no small matter for any ship girl.

But in her opinion, Sister Bismarck's reaction was still a little too calm.

It's like knowing something in advance.

And judging from what Sister Bismarck just said, it seems that she doesn't want Sister Tirpitz to know about this?

But it’s a matter of great importance...

Z23 was somewhat confused about the situation and felt as if she was shrouded in a fog, but she did not dare to ask why.

"Okay..." Bismarck nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and said to Z23: "About this matter... you should also inform Friedrich Hindenburg and Hutten and others... and ask them to come over together."

"Uh...? Okay Miss Bismarck..."

Z23 listened and realized that although the Iron Blood flagship in front of him looked calm on the surface, the situation was actually much more serious than it seemed, so he was ready to call all the Iron Blood Sea Legends over together...

"By the way, is Egil in the port area? If so, let us know..."

"Sister Egil is out on a mission recently. Judging by the time, she shouldn't be here..."

"He's not here? That's fine, just notify them..."

Bismarck threw down his phone in annoyance, and his legs were shaking slightly.

Just as Z23 thought, Commander Xu Huan and Frederick had already made corresponding guesses about the attraction between them.

For this reason, she also specifically asked the Siren, with whom she had a cooperation, but the other party was very tight-lipped and she could not get much useful information.

But he didn't expect that his previous guess would be confirmed by Xu Huan himself in the end.

Although the report still stated that it was not 100% certain, Bismarck was convinced that Xu Huan's attraction to the Siren was an indisputable fact.

Originally, these were just private speculations between her and Frederick, but after today, many of the ship girls in the port should be aware of this situation.

She herself didn't care much about this matter, and other Iron-Blooded Ship Girls in the port area who knew the news had similar ideas as her.

Compared to the commander, the increasing number of siren attacks is nothing to mention...

Or from another perspective, the more Sirens there are, the more the commander should stay with them.

But if Xu Huan himself knew about this matter...things would become a little complicated.

She was not sure whether Xu Huan would leave Iron Blood early because of her attraction to Siren.

It's what we call not wanting to drag down the entire port area.

Although they themselves don't care, humans think differently.

That pathetic self-esteem and the so-called backbone of not being a burden to others... In a sense, it will become a catalyst for the commander to take the initiative to leave them and go to other camps.

You know... Iron Blood is not far from the locations of the Northern Alliance Iris camps.

We have to find a way to make Xu Huan stay in Tiexue.

The two people in the office stopped talking. It was so quiet that even the sound of the flames jumping in the fireplace in the distance could be heard clearly.

In this atmosphere, Z23 felt inexplicably nervous, but still forced himself to sit up straight.

About five minutes later, the ship girl with short silver hair gently pushed open the door, saw the girl sitting on the sofa, and nodded slightly.

Z23 also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

No matter what, in her heart, Sister Tirpitz is always easier to get along with...

"Sister... I'm here."

"Everyone is not here yet, please wait a little longer..."

Tirpitz didn't say anything more. Instead, after some eye contact with Bismarck, he slowly sat down on another sofa next to Z23.

About ten minutes later, there was a sound of dense footsteps in the distance in the corridor.

The door was opened, a fragrant breeze blew in, and Frederick the Great, Hutten and Hindenburg also rushed into the command room.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, the three of them found the most comfortable seat and sat down.

At this point, all of Iron Blood's current sea legends in the port area have arrived.

Chapter 226 Meeting

"What's going on, Bismarck? Why make such a big fuss... calling everyone over..."

Hindenburg lifted up her long legs wrapped in black stockings, and gently scratched her face and red lips with her bright red nails, speaking in a lazy tone.

You have to know that for Iron Blood, the last time this happened was when they had a conflict with the Northern Alliance and were preparing to sign an armistice agreement.

So is there anything big happening in Minato recently that's worth bringing them together?

The ship girls present here are not stupid. They all know with their buttocks that there is only one possibility for Bismarck to call them all here today -

Something happened on Xu Huan's side that made Bismarck find it difficult to deal with.

Or maybe they were settling accounts for the so-called "backstabbing" that happened the last time the three of them went to the royal family.

Hindenburg, who understood all of this, naturally did not intend to ask questions when he said this. He just opened the conversation to start the conversation.

Among the several ship girls who came with her, Frederick was most likely going to have a topic to talk about later, and Hutten's personality was not willing to speak actively, so she had to be the first to speak and ease the silent and tense atmosphere in the room.

There are currently six ship girls in the room.

Apart from the bewildered Z23, if any serious dispute occurred later, Tirpitz would most likely stand on the side of her sister, and the remaining three "traitors" who returned from the royal family would naturally become the same camp.

Although it is not an unbreakable alliance, simple cooperation is still possible.

"Ugh..."

Bismarck sighed, stood up from his seat, simply patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and slowly walked to the middle of the crowd.
