Give Zongman some collapse shock

On the wreckage of the battleship, Kaohsiung stood majestically, pointing his sword at the sea fog Kaohsiung.

"From now on, you need to add the word 'Sea Fog' before your name. Any objections?"

"Why are you?"

Haiwu Kaohsiung doesn't understand.

Whether defending or attacking, I always had the advantage. The only thing the opponent had over me was mobility, but that was made up for by a hastily devised tactic. But why, with such an advantage, would I lose? Even if there was a gap between us, it shouldn't be like this...

That kind of power! That kind of strength!

The kind of trait in the other person that determines victory or defeat, a trait she doesn't understand.

What is the source of all this, the thing that is better than oneself?

"Why do you have such power?"

"As the commander of a warship, you should achieve glory and defeat powerful enemies. This is what you should do."

Chapter 211: Does Sakura Empire have such a thing as reputation?

In two days, the Sakura Empire fleet captured cities and strongholds one after another, and was unstoppable.

Under this kind of relentless offensive, where they captured a blue ship girl and immediately moved to the next battlefield to launch a precise strike, they naturally achieved corresponding huge results. Kaohsiung, Maya, Kongo, Hyuga, Haruna and other ship girls were successively captured.

The blitzkrieg operation almost captured half of the ship girls with mental models in the Sea Mist Fleet.

There were people like Kaohsiung and Hinata who were defeated until they were convinced. After being defeated, they accepted their current situation very smoothly and swore allegiance.

For such a hero, Jiang Chen generously helped repair the hull and signed a [Fate Contract] with her, giving her the same treatment and freedom as the Azure Ship Girl.

Of course, there are also people like Kongo and Kirishima who refuse to obey orders and would rather die than surrender.

Jiang Chen adopted a different attitude towards these stubborn individuals. Adhering to the principle of using courtesy before force, he calmly tried to persuade them to surrender.

If the other party insisted on using force instead of soft tactics, Jiang Chen would have to use his power of corruption to replace the naval code's instructions with codes loyal to him. This hypnotic brainwashing method was performed without any psychological pressure. This was because he would not replace the other party's memories, only the codes, and he would even make the other party clearly realize that the codes were false and temporarily fabricated.

But the Azure Ship Girl just happens to fall for this.

He knew it was a false instruction, yet it existed within his own program. Finally, with a face full of humiliation and anger, he 'voluntarily' signed his name on the contract with shaking hands.

The attitude is one of looking at you with disgust...it's hard to describe in words.

"What are you looking at? I've told you straight up. I added the Naval Code directives to your name on the spot, and you signed the contract yourself. I didn't deceive you, nor did I coerce you. Ultimately, your self-awareness isn't strong enough. Since you consider yourself a weapon bound to obey orders, what is there to resent now?"

Jiang Chen felt justified in facing the Shanghai Fog King Kong's murderous look.

Resentment, humiliation, hostility?

Just ridiculous.

The emergence of self-awareness but still calling itself a weapon of war can only be said to be a manifestation of incomplete mind.

Just look at the Azure Shipgirls and you'll see. Before they became warships, they were all independent individuals with distinct personalities and preferences. Independent thinking, self-correction, learning, and progress—that's what a complete individual should be like.

However, Umigiri Kongo and Umigiri Kirishima don't even have the basic understanding that 'once a personality is born, it's no longer just a weapon'... No, it should be said that they are aware of it but are unwilling to admit it.

Just like people who grew up in a closed environment, they have adult bodies and their thinking tends to be more adult, but when it comes to self-awareness, they insist that they are still children.

In simple terms, it means that they have not yet suffered the beatings of society.

Naturally, Jiang Chen would not be so cruel as to throw someone with sealed abilities into human society.

For such problem children, we just need to confiscate their hulls, place them in the capital to receive education, and let them interact with others for a period of time and they will become normal.

"Humph! Sweet talk."

Sea Mist King Kong snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, then, if you refuse to acknowledge me as your superior now, I will release you immediately and never interfere with your freedom again."

Jiang Chen didn't care at all.

Sea Fog King Kong gritted his teeth and after a while, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"...Mist must abide by the Naval Code."

See, it's totally robotic thinking.

Umigiri Takao has proven that the Azure Shipgirls can defy the Naval Code with their individual consciousness.

Ultimately, it's all a personal choice.

However, in a sense, Sea Fog King Kong does have something to be proud of.

after all……

The Sakura Empire's ship girls almost all won victory and glory in the one-on-one duels with the ship of the same name, the Sea Mist.

The reason why I say 'almost'.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Although everyone won, except you... well, okay. To put it another way, didn't Sea Mist Kong give his name to you? You can still use the name Kong now. As far as the result is concerned, it's still not bad."

Jiang Chen looked helpless as he comforted the young lady who was sobbing on his lap.

Kongo is different from other Sakura Empire ship girls.

The young woman, blonde and blue-eyed, carried herself like a young lady of royal nobility. Mature, steady, and elegant, her horned hat and royal-style military uniform made her seem out of place within the Sakura Empire, looking like a spy. Even so, Kongo held a unique position within the Sakura Empire.

Naturally, I feel proud inside.

But rather...

"Everyone won, but I was the only one who lost. And I was even given charity to use my own name. Shame! This is a shame! An unprecedented shame!"

The eldest lady raised her tearful eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Only Sea Fog Kongo noticed that everyone in the Sea Fog Fleet had added the prefix "Sea Fog" to their names. Unwilling to give up their Sea Fog pride and identity, they casually gave the name "Kingo" back to Kongo after their victory, as if giving alms.

This made the proud young lady feel that she had become the only stain on the entire Sakura Empire fleet.

As a result, she had a bit of a stress reaction to everyone's sympathetic or comforting looks, thinking that they were blame and contempt from her sisters.

Finally, she had no choice but to find that she could not face her former good sisters and could only seek comfort from the commander.

Who knew that Sea Mist King Kong was also here.

If King Kong is the royal lady.

Then Sea Mist King Kong is definitely the queen.

This was a natural suppression, and after losing the duel, the sisters launched a righteous group fight to defeat the Sea Mist King Kong. This made the eldest sister feel ashamed and wanted to return to the capital and Long Island to be a stay-at-home girl for the rest of her life.

The outside world is so scary!

"Heh~ childish."

Sea Mist King Kong sneered.

This is truly contemptible.

Suddenly, the eldest lady cried even louder.

At the same time, outside the door.

A blue figure was sneaking around, clinging to the door frame, staring straight at Jiang Chen's back.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

"I was peeking... wooo!"

Haiwu Kaohsiung suddenly came to his senses and covered his mouth tightly.

Almost, almost exposed!

Because of Kaohsiung's teachings, Umigumi Kaohsiung, seeking greater power, deliberately inquired about the "Commander," and received a ton of exaggerated praise from the shipgirls, to the point where Umigumi Kaohsiung completed her self-game at lightning speed in just two days, and even Ultimate Evolved into the Second Daughter... This kind of thing must not be discovered!

After glaring at the newcomer unhappily, Haiwu Kaohsiung regained his arrogant demeanor: "Humph! This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"You, don't you have any bad intentions towards the commander?"

Undeterred by the other party's aura, Tai Feng said confidently, "Heh~ It's a pest. It really is a pest, isn't it? Tai Feng has felt this way since you came aboard. This familiar aura is definitely not wrong."

There was a smile on his lips, his eyes were empty, with a hint of murderous intent, and his face was full of bad expression.

There was absolutely no mistake. The familiar posture, the angle of the voyeurism, and the forced calmness that only a stalker exhibited when discovered.

They are of the same kind.

"No...wait! What do you want to do? Don't come over here!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Haiwu Kaohsiung finally got scared.

There's something wrong with this ship girl!

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.

The big purple fox hiding in the corner took everything in and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"No matter which world the shipgirls are from, they're all like this. The reputation of the Sakura Empire has really taken a strange turn, and there's no room for redemption."

She was melancholy about the reputation of the Sakura Empire.

Of course, more importantly.

When will the Commander be done? I'm ready to hold him to sleep to thank him. Well, don't be too hasty. Just follow the old pace, bury your head in it, and the Commander will do the rest.

Chapter 212: Imperial Industry, shocking.

On the third day of the blitzkrieg, Umigiri Musashi began to gather its troops.

Jiang Chen was happy to see this happen. They had already achieved enough results. Now they just had to wait for the final battle, and that battle would decide the outcome.

He even instigated Haiwu Kong to use the quantum network to reveal his own intelligence so that Haiwu Musashi could be prepared.

Then...

A week passed peacefully.

Resting and waiting for the enemy to tire is an eternal classic tactic. Even if the Sea Fog Fleet does not feel tired, it will be considered a victory if they can improve their mentality.

Then, the decisive battle begins.

It is still the hull of Taiho.

Jiang Chen stood at the front of the bow, overlooking the fleet below, with a group of girls full of fighting spirit behind him.

Below, the fleet, led by the Umigiri Musashi, numbered in the hundreds, mostly cruisers and destroyers. Relying on their superior numbers and firepower, this super fleet was sure to achieve immediate air suppression.

Haiwu Musashi raised his head slightly, still with his eyes closed, looking calm and relaxed.

He was not worried about the fact that most of the fleet's mental models were captured by the enemy, but for the first time he faced his opponent squarely and suppressed all contempt.

However, the advantage is mine!

"I've heard from Kongo that your tactics, armaments, and aerial maneuverability are really giving me a headache. But are you truly prepared to face the sea fog?"

Umigiri Musashi spoke softly.

"What do you want to say?"

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to take action, but waited for the other party to continue speaking with interest.

"Isn't it obvious? You are very powerful. I am happy for you, the battleships similar to mine. Now, I formally invite you to join and become a member of the Mist. I have analyzed the information sent by Kongo. Your special characteristics can be transformed into sea mist by fusing two Nagara-class battleships. Join the Mist and abandon that man. He is just a human. You don't need such a thing at all, right?"

It's like they can destroy the Sakura Empire fleet at any time if they want to.

It also shows the confidence of Umigiri Musashi.

She has already obtained intelligence on the Sakura Empire fleet, which is indeed powerful, and some of its technologies even surpass those of the Sea Mist.

But so what?

Terrifying mobility can be limited by more powerful firepower. As long as the attacks are intensive, no matter how powerful the mobility is, the only outcome is sinking.

The dexterity of transforming into a human form, and the endless array of tactics? In the face of absolute firepower suppression, both dexterity and strategy would become a pale joke.

Firepower is truth, cannons are justice!

In her opinion, the next battle only required continuous firing.

The battle situation will become as simple as a coloring game. The enemy will just flee in panic. She just needs to spend a little more time. Victory will definitely belong to the Sea Mist Fleet!

"How arrogant, Musashi."
