How to fall in love with a ship girl?

Her steps were slow and firm, her body was straight and upright, and the slight tenderness in her eyes gradually disappeared in the process, leaving only cold rationality.

As the flagship of the Iron Blood, Bismarck at this time was filled with that unique cold and hard temperament.

"Hindenburg...Bismarck, and Hutten at the beginning..." She spoke slowly, her eyes scanning everyone sitting there at the same time.

Frederick still had a gentle expression, Hutten had no expression on his face, but Hindenburg's red eyes showed a hint of amusement and curiosity than usual.

"Why, Bismarck, are you dissatisfied with our behavior?"

Hindenburg's seductive red lips were slightly open, and his charming and delicate face formed a sharp contrast with Bismarck's handsome face without any makeup.

"Yes... In theory, if you don't bring the commander back, then there will be some corresponding punishments, although I also know that these so-called punishments are not painful for you..."

For other maritime legends in the Iron Blood Port area, effective management has always been a headache for Bismarck.

After all, the Iron Bloods are not as peaceful as the Royal Family. Strength accounts for most of the so-called status in the port area. This is also the main reason why Huteng and Frederick told Xu Huan that as long as he has enough strength, he can live well in the Iron Bloods.

Not to mention that there have always been ship girls like Frederick the Great who are very special in both strength and status.

Therefore, Bismarck has always set an example and taught by words and deeds in everything he asked of him. He has taken care of both port affairs and combat together, and has devoted almost his whole body and soul to building the Iron Blood.

Her approach also won the respect of the vast majority of her Iron-Blooded companions, including Hutten and Hindenburg, who all obeyed Bismarck's orders.

Of course, that was all before the commander was discovered.

Now that the commander has appeared, the three people's attention has been more or less shifted to other places.

"So... let's talk about this matter later when we have time. Let's skip it for now. The main reason I called you here today is not because of this..."

After Bismarck finished speaking, he took out the communication device and shared all the log information reported by Z23 today with the ship girl in Kangzuo.

"This is the intelligence about the commander that was just collected today... I have only read the first part myself..." Bismarck said, and glanced at Tirpitz and Z23 beside him.

Receiving Bismarck's eye signal, Z23 hurriedly trotted to the side, took out the projector that was usually used to discuss tactics, and placed it in the center of the sofa.

Tirpitz also pulled down a whiteboard in the center of the room very tacitly. As the projector started, the relevant information reported by Z23 today was projected directly onto the whiteboard.

"boom--"

The lights in the room dimmed, and the original office was transformed into a half-conference room in a short time.

"First of all, I have speculated before..."

Bismarck briefly introduced the details recorded on the projector about Xu Huan's ability to attract Sirens.

Except for Tirpitz, who had not read the report on the way here and whose pupils shrank slightly, and who was a little surprised by this situation, the expressions of the rest of the ship girls did not fluctuate much.

"What do you guys think about this?"

Hutten had a blank expression, Frederick smiled without saying a word, and even Hindenburg looked indifferent.

This kind of thing... I've already guessed it~

It's just been confirmed now, but so what?

"What's there to say about this?" Hindenburg was the first to speak: "I think everyone has expected this, right?"

"Well... I thought about this before going to the royal family. In a sense, the child is quite popular..." Frederick added.

Although Hu Teng said nothing, he nodded slightly to show his approval.

Bismarck turned his gaze to Tirpitz and Z23 on the other side.

The emotional group, who had a close relationship with Xu Huan, expressed their views, and the next was the rational group, who could look at things "objectively".

Tirpitz was silent for a long time, apparently just recovering from this somewhat shocking news.

She gently clasped her hands on her legs in front of her, frowning slightly: "Although the fact that the commander will attract the sirens will increase the pressure on the port's coastal defense, from a long-term perspective, the benefits the commander brings to the port are obviously greater than the pressure on coastal defense... I just don't know to what extent this so-called attraction of the sirens will eventually reach..."

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Frederick opposite her.

"Before this, the Royal Family did have the same experience..." Frederick understood what Tirpitz meant and explained, "However, from the time I spent at the Royal Family, this so-called pressure did not have much impact on the Royal Family..."

Chapter 227 Moral Clay

"I stayed in the Royal Family for a longer time..."

Hu Teng, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up at this time: "Except for the very sudden attack at the beginning, the intensity of the Siren's activities at other times was there, but it was not something that was difficult to deal with."

The purpose of Hutten and Frederick's words was very clear and simple, they just wanted to prevent Xu Huan from leaving Tiexue because of such an inexplicable trait.

The two of them thought so, and Tirpitz, who was sitting opposite them, would naturally consider the same thing.

Given their previous criminal record (referring to never returning and lying about the commander), it was hard to believe their explanation at this point.

Tirpitz lowered his head, said nothing, and fell into deep thought.

"I know that you, Tirpitz, seem to think that we might be lying..." Hindenburg smiled and said, "But whether it's true or not is not that important, right?"

"Unless the Sirens are too powerful and the royal family can't bear to ask the contractors to leave the port area..." the succubus said, her long and thick eyelashes trembling, and then her beautiful eyebrows raised.

"Do you think it's possible? Although Elizabeth doesn't have as many things as you think, she's not a fool..."

"Don't think about that. Frederick and the others should be telling the truth."

Bismarck, who was watching from the side, suddenly interrupted and said, "There is a grudge among the people who came this time. One of the royal sea legends, if the royal side is under great pressure on coastal defense, it will not let a top combat force leave the port headquarters..."

"Then there shouldn't be any problem..."

Upon hearing this, Tirpitz raised his head and smiled gently, which was in stark contrast to his previous silence and frown. His expression changed very quickly.

When Bismarck saw this, a flash of enlightenment suddenly occurred to him.

My own sister...did she say that on purpose? Was she trying to test my attitude?

Well, let's try it out...

Anyway, her attitude of insisting on keeping Xu Huan in Tiexue has never changed from beginning to end.

The problems caused can be solved, but if the commander is ready to leave again, it will be difficult to bring him back.

Thinking about this, she finally looked at Z23 who was sitting nearby looking a little nervous.

The others all looked towards the girl.

"Z23... I remember that you are in charge of accompanying the commander today?" Bismarck said, "If you have any ideas, you can talk about them now..."

With the exception of Hindenburg, almost everyone present had enough patience and good temper towards the diligent and studious Z23.

"Me? I...I don't have any opinion..."

Z23 calmed down his nervous mood and replied.

This was her first time participating in a meeting of Iron Blood's level, so it was normal for her to feel a little nervous.

Bismarck nodded and said, "Since everyone has no objection... the basic direction will remain unchanged..."

Needless to say, the so-called basic direction is Iron Blood's view on the commander's ability to attract Sirens.

Maintain unchanged means still insisting on keeping Xu Huan.

Everyone had anticipated this decision, and the so-called discussion was just a formality at best...

"Then the main issue now is... the commander's own view of his own ability. This is related to the commander's own personality, which is also the main reason why I called you here today."

"You must have spent a lot of time with the Commander before, right? You should have a deeper understanding of the Commander's personality than we do... So, how do you think the Commander views this trait of his?"

"Personality...and opinions?"

The three of them smiled at each other, and Frederick shook his head: "It's hard to describe that child's personality in one or a few words... If I have to say, it should be considered as being quite casual..."

"Instead of talking about this, why not ask Bismarck what are you worried about?"

Frederick asked curiously, "I can understand you asking me about the child's personality, but as for my opinion... it doesn't seem to have much to do with the matter we are discussing, right?"

"Yes, could it be that he has a bad personality and doesn't want to keep the contractor?" Hindenburg also asked.

"I'm a little worried. I'm afraid that the commander might leave on his own initiative... because he's afraid of dragging us down. You know, humans are prone to falling into moral dilemmas and being forced to make choices."

"..."

As soon as Bismarck finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

Z23 and Tirpitz, who were confused, saw that Frederick and the other two were silent, and thought that Bismarck was right, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, about half a minute, a very inappropriate voice suddenly sounded in the room.

“Hah—”

As if he couldn't hold back his laughter, Hindenburg covered his mouth with his hands and tried his best to stop himself from making any sound.

The corner of Frederick's mouth rose, and Hutten turned his head to the side.

"....What's wrong?"

Bismarck saw that everyone had different reactions and asked in confusion.

At this time, Hindenburg finally couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha...."

She moved her hand away, showing a somewhat wanton smile, then shook her head and said, "If the contractor knew what you were worried about, Bismarck, he would probably feel honored..."

".....oh?"

"There is absolutely no need to worry... that child would not have such an idea." Frederick smiled gently at this time:

"When we were chatting before, he once said something very impressive to me - the specific situation determines what is moral. If you have the ability to define the situation, ethics are just clay in your hands, you can manipulate it at will."

"In short, it's about having a flexible moral bottom line...it might be too low, but don't worry about it being too high..."

The Bismarck sisters and Z23 were a little surprised when they heard this.

"You want to fiddle with the clay in your hand?"

Tirpitz repeated in a murmur.

It's time to update my view on the Commander...

Anyone who can say such things... is either very dangerous or very... shameless.

Tirpitz's guess was half right.

Although Xu Huan did not have any so-called moral dilemma, he still had to save face most of the time.

On the other hand, he is indeed dangerous.

Compared to the Siren.

Chapter 228 I'm waiting~

"Actually... I don't think we should worry too much about this problem..."

While everyone was expressing their own opinions on the so-called moral dilemma of humanity and the commander, Z23 on the side, after a brief thought, silently expressed his own opinion.

Seeing everyone's gaze, the girl swallowed lightly and then continued:

"It seems that everyone...hasn't read what I wrote in the diary..."

Just as Z23 said, both Bismarck and the remaining ship girls' main attention is currently focused on the first page of the log, which is Xu Huan's deduction about his ability to attract Sirens. For the time being, they have no intention of reading further.

But we can't blame them for this. After all, they had a big bomb at the beginning, and it would be difficult for anyone to have time to pay attention to other places.

After hearing what Z23 said, Bismarck was a little surprised, and then he followed the girl's instructions and turned down a few pages of the log on the projector.

Afterwards, they all saw the report that Xu Huan had the ability to directly heal and repair ship girls and their equipment, and that he planned to be stationed in the infirmary in the future.

The room fell into silence again. Everyone looked at the description of the so-called ability to repair the ship girl's ship equipment on the projector, and they all remained silent in tacit understanding.

Not only Bismarck and Tirpitz were shocked by this fact, even the three people who had been to the royal palace were a little confused at first.

It was only when she thought of the young man's previous battle trial with the formidable beast on the training ground that a look of understanding emerged in the eyes of the ship girl.

From this perspective, it seems that Xu Huan learned some medical-related skills from the Royal Medical Ship, and then brought them directly to Iron Blood.

"When Xu Huan was in the Royal Family, he once asked me what skills Iron Blood lacked the most... It seems that he had already made relevant plans."

Hu Teng spoke in a low voice, adding another perfect piece of evidence to everyone's already confident guess.

"That child is quite caring..."

"I have to find a contractor to experience that feeling when I have time... I've been thinking about it for a long time..."

Different from the reactions of the royal trio, Tirpitz and Bismarck were stunned for a moment, and then their hearts were quickly filled with joy.
