Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

It seems like the first name sounds cooler!

"I think it's not bad, but how about dropping the Second Division and just calling it the Swordfish Commando?"

Jiang Ming decisively accepted the opportunity offered by Xin Hai and quickly changed the subject.

"So, starting today, the Swordfish Commando Team is officially established. You will go back to the camp for a few days to pack your things and rest. Once everything is arranged, you can head to your new training ground."

Jiang Ming didn't give them any more chances to ask questions. He simply made a decision and then sent them away.

Jiang Ming only breathed a sigh of relief when Xin Hai and Wu Lang were the only ones left by his side.

"It's so dangerous."

Chapter 97 The Great Turning Point

"You were indeed a bit careless this time," Xin Hai muttered under his breath. "It's best if as few people as possible know about things like this."

“I know, I’ll definitely be more careful next time. Speaking of which, why is Mr. Kent’s obsession with proving his innocence so strong? He’s already wiped out the entire enemy command post. Generally speaking, wouldn’t it be better to investigate slowly, gather evidence, and if all else fails, wait until the war is over and the situation has stabilized before coming back to explain?”

"Perhaps it's because of his past experiences."

With Xin Hai's explanation, Jiang Mingcai learned that Kentie was framed while working in Fontainebleau and, unable to find evidence to prove his innocence, had no choice but to flee Fontainebleau and eventually came to Haiqi Island to seek refuge with Coral Palace.

Because of this past experience, I am so sensitive about proving my innocence.

PTSD is present.

"The Fools were secretly involved in this incident. In accordance with their usual style, they would definitely handle things very cleanly when they made a move. Kentki probably couldn't find any relevant evidence to prove his innocence, so he temporarily went into hiding and then used the method of destroying the enemy's command post to show his position when there was insufficient evidence."

As Kentie was an outstanding talent who came to Coral Palace from elsewhere, Xin Hai remembered his resume very clearly. When the information was put together, Xin Hai could guess most of what had happened during this period.

Jiang Ming nodded after listening and said, "I see."

"So, what are your next plans regarding Kentucky?"

"I haven't decided yet." Xin Hai shook his head. "Anyway, let's try to clear his name through newspapers and other channels first. He can't keep carrying the stigma of being a defector."

"Um……"

Jiang Ming thought for a moment.

“I think it would be better if we did this: the previous news of his defection and this operation have already exposed Kentkey’s identity. He is no longer suitable to continue serving as an intelligence agent for Coral Palace. Why don’t we just transfer Kentkey to another department, such as the police?”

"Ok?"

Xin Hai turned to look at Jiang Ming, her eyes full of confusion.

"In this way, we won't have so many concerns. We can simply go all out with the publicity. Kentucky, as a hero in this battle, endured humiliation and went straight in alone, just to clear his name. Such a deed is bound to be praised and will certainly attract people's attention."

Xin Hai suddenly realized and patted his head.

It's indeed a good idea.

"And it's perfect timing. The old man is not young anymore, and he suffered such a serious injury this time. Going to the police department as a criminal investigator, solving cases in his spare time, would be a good way to retire and enjoy his old age."

“That makes sense.” Xin Hai nodded sharply. “Let’s do it this way for now. I’ll discuss it with Mr. Kentkey later. If he’s unwilling, I’ll arrange another easy job for him, like having him mentor new employees or something.”

Jiang Ming agreed, and then continued speaking.

"There is also the problem of the rebels who have not yet surrendered. Our troops are not manpower enough to defeat so many people in a short time. So before, we mainly focused on persuading them to surrender and did not take any further action. But now we need to change our approach."

"Have the troops below spread the news that the rebel command post has been wiped out and that Ito has fled, as well as the news and evidence of Ito's collusion with the Fools. Make sure every rebel hears this and tries to persuade them to surrender."

"But this time it's different. We gave them a total of fifteen minutes to consider after three calls to surrender. If they didn't surrender, we attacked them directly, prioritizing those with evil eyes. Once we dealt with these extremists, the rest would be easier to handle. We're currently building everywhere and are short of manpower. The surrendered rebels can all be sent to labor reform."

"The issue of suppressing the rebellion was something that couldn't be rushed before, but now it can't be delayed. We need to take advantage of the period when the enemy's command system is paralyzed and catch them off guard."

Xin Hai did not object to these orders; in her view, there was no problem in seizing this opportunity.

Goro silently wrote down these requirements, preparing to carry them out later.

"By the way, haven't we taken back the dock yet?"

Jiang Ming looked at Wu Lang.

Instinctively, Goro straightened up.

"The troops have launched an attack and are expected to recapture the dock within an hour. However, our soldiers have not seen any trace of the Southern Cross fleet. Our initial assessment is that the Southern Cross fleet has already made an emergency departure from the port to seek refuge."

An hour is alright.

Jiang Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then began to instruct Wu Lang.

"We must retake the dock as soon as possible, blockade it, and completely cut off the enemy's hope of escape. Secondly, we must find the trail of the Southern Cross fleet and make contact with them."

"I understand," Goro said firmly.

"Tsk, I wonder how we're going to explain this to Beidou."

Jiang Ming is currently very annoyed by this problem.

The problem is neither too big nor too small; its size largely depends on whether BeiDou wants to capitalize on it.

He was afraid that Beidou would use this as an excuse to make some difficult demands.

"Maybe they'll ask us for some discounts or something?" Goro chimed in from the side.

"Then I really thank Beidou. A small discount that can solve the problem with Mora is wonderful. We have plenty of industrial products to mortgage, so this is not a problem at all."

Xin Hai, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought.

"I think that, given Captain Beidou's personality, he'll most likely want our guns after the battle is over."

"gun?"

Jiang Ming thought about it and felt it was very likely.

After all, this is a real adult; times have changed, and they've changed very quickly.

Moreover, they have always kept their firearms strictly confidential, and given Beidou's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out about this confidentiality.

"If that's the case, then how should we deal with it..." Xin Hai began to think about the problem further.

"Sell." Jiang Ming gave a straightforward answer.

"Sell?" x2.

Both Shinkai and Goro were taken aback.

"Wasn't it kept strictly confidential yesterday?" Goro asked, quite puzzled.

How could things have changed so drastically overnight? Is it possible to sell now?

"That was before. Now, after such a battle, with such huge casualties and the Fatui teleporting around, no matter what kind of gun it is, there must be some that have been lost. It's not difficult to replicate a mechanical structure, so I estimate we'll soon see the Fatui muskets appear."

"Therefore, we need to change our secrecy strategy from keeping the firearms themselves secret to keeping the production technology secret."

"The enemy might be able to replicate the mechanical structure 1:1 and make an automatic rifle, but how many can you expect to produce in a workshop? At most, they could equip a few elite troops. Without our industrialized production technology, it would be very difficult to deploy them on a large scale."

Moreover, without suitable propellant, how can its performance compare to ours?

That's no exaggeration on his part.

Thanks to Alice's craftsmanship, they completed the transformation from gunpowder to nitrocellulose and TNT in a short period of time.

The process of reverse reducing nitrocellulose from nitrocellulose that has undergone various processing steps, and then using it to make propellants, is not that simple.

Even with the Eye of God, it's still all done by hand. How can it be used on a large scale?

"When we didn't have the capacity for mass production, we kept the firearms secret to maintain our advantage as secret weapons. But now, the gap between the two sides lies in the level of industrial production, which is far greater than the gap caused by one or two so-called 'secret weapons'."

Chapter 98 404 Not Found (Missing words have been corrected)

Just as Jiang Ming had predicted, the Fools had already managed to capture several rifles during the chaos on the battlefield.

The skirmisher now stared at the rifle placed in front of him.

"Interesting little gadgets, external objects for ordinary people to use for opportunistic purposes."

This is the assessment given by the skirmisher after disassembling the thing.

It's a clever design, and the imaginative thinking is commendable, but ultimately it's just a creation of mortals, nothing special.

He looked down on these gadgets; their power was negligible.

But he had to admit that for mortals, even ordinary soldiers with the Evil Eye, or even ordinary people who possessed the Eye of God, this thing was deadly.

Even a three-year-old child who wields it can instantly possess power surpassing 80%... no, at least 90% of the people on the continent of Teyvat.

The stragglers are now deep in thought.

What should I do with this?

I am, after all, an executive officer. Should I inform those colleagues?

Who knows, the professor might be interested in this thing?

I heard that the Doctor has returned to the Order of the Fathers, but I wonder what he's up to now.

Should we contact him?

Just then, the stragglers suddenly received a communication request from within the Fools' Clan.

"Ok?"

The soldier turned on his comms and discovered that the caller was none other than the doctor.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Doctor, I was just about to contact you."

"Hmm? What's going on?"
