Elder brother's garrison

“I apologize for the omission,” Barbarossa said to Kamikaze.

"Forget it, forget it anyway, you were blinded by rage back then, you couldn't possibly have noticed me, right?" Kamikaze waved his hand at Barbarossa, "I understand, let's just consider it a little episode."

"In other words, Barbarossa's account is essentially no different from what you experienced yesterday," Frederick the Great asked the crowd.

None of the directors of the Deep Sea Academy offered any rebuttal.

"Then I will give you an explanation for this matter," Frederick the Great said.

"Hmm? Didn't you just say you wouldn't interfere with us?" Savoy raised an eyebrow.

“I will not interfere, but there will be a difference.” Frederick the Great said calmly, paused for a moment, and then slowly said, “Barbarossa, step forward.”

"Yes." Barbarossa bypassed the crowd and walked up to Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great's human form is that of a very tall woman, even possessing a certain "imposing" presence. Barbarossa, the Deep Sea Dean who resembles a young human girl, appears suppressed in front of Frederick the Great, giving the impression that she might be crushed by him at any moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

“Hey, Frederick…you’re not going to punish Barbarossa, are you?” Savoy was displeased when he saw the situation. He then said, “My business with Barbarossa is over. Even if I still have things to deal with with Barbarossa, that’s my own business. I don’t need you to help me get revenge.”

“I understand,” Frederick the Great said. “Your business is over, but what I’m talking about is our business.”

"You? Us?"

“Barbarossa is my confidante. She is responsible for supervising your actions in the deep-sea city on my behalf and for relaying your messages to me,” Frederick the Great said calmly. “In a sense, her status is different from yours. She is the discipline of this city. Her actions are my actions, and her will is my will. Therefore, her duties and powers in this city are slightly higher than yours.”

"That's true." The Deans of the Deep Sea Institute tacitly agreed.

"But her actions yesterday were a serious violation of her duties," Frederick the Great said calmly. "Disregard for discipline, firing indiscriminately, harming her comrades, and destroying the city—regardless of her motives or reasons, even if she gains the understanding of others, Barbarossa is no longer qualified to bear the responsibilities she is now."

"..."

“Therefore, I will strip you of your position.” Frederick the Great lowered his head and spoke to Barbarossa before him. “From this day forward, you are no longer the embodiment of discipline in this city, nor will you enjoy any privileges. You will be treated as an ordinary resident, just like the other Deans of the Deep Sea. Do you have any objections to this outcome?”

“No,” Barbarossa replied, shaking his head.

"Go back," Frederick the Great said softly, his voice gentle. "From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."

"Yes." Barbarossa nodded, turned around, and returned to the Deep Sea Dean's side.

As soon as Barbarossa regained her footing, Hindenburg rushed over and hugged her tightly, his eyes closed, rubbing his head against Barbarossa's chest as if he would lose her if he were to use too little force.

Barbarossa raised his hand and patted Hindenburg's head without saying a word.

Little White, standing behind Frederick the Great, also breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

That scene was truly terrifying...

“However, let’s leave it at that.” Just then, Frederick the Great’s voice rang out once again.

Everyone looked at Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great spoke expressionlessly.

"This city ultimately cannot do without an enforcer of discipline..."

Frederick the Great's voice echoed in the conference room.

"Ah," Savoy exclaimed, suddenly realizing what was happening.

"Ah." Kamikaze also had an "I understand" expression on his face.

"Huh...?" Chao Dahe covered his mouth, looking surprised.

Barbarossa remained expressionless, as if everything that had just happened, was happening now, and was about to happen was all within her expectations.

All eyes turned to Xiaobai.

"Pachina".

"From this moment forward, I appoint you as the discipline executor of this city, with the authority to command other residents and all deep-sea frigates to a certain extent."

"Your actions are my actions, your will is my will."

Chapter 2125 How did I, an undercover agent, become the second-in-command?

The majestic voice of Frederick the Great echoed in the somewhat empty conference room.

The sound fades.

The Deans of the Deep Sea Academy looked at Xiaobai, who stood there in astonishment, with expressions of "I knew it."

At this moment, Xiaobai felt her head buzzing, and Frederick the Great's ridiculously cheesy remarks were still echoing in her mind.

Your will is my will!

Your actions are my actions!

One boat below, five boats above!

—What an incredibly embarrassing statement.

But along with the shame, I was also shocked.

"Huh? What? Me? Isn't that inappropriate?" Little White looked at Frederick the Great in confusion, momentarily at a loss for words, and quickly waved his hands, "Let, let me take over Miss Barbarossa's work? This, I'm afraid I can't do that..."

joke.

Xiao Bai is an undercover agent in the deep-sea city.

Barbarossa's previous position in the Deepsea City was practically that of a leader, the second-in-command. How did he, an undercover agent, end up in that position now...?

Putting aside the trouble that would ensue if he were to take over, and how detrimental it would be to his undercover operations, the fact that he was promoted at lightning speed is simply outrageous in every sense.

No.

Absolutely not.

If I were second-in-command... wouldn't that mean I'd be meeting Frederick the Great every day? Wouldn't my cover be blown after a while?

"Ahem, I... I've only been in this city for a few days, and I'm not familiar with anyone here... Frederick, well, I'm fine with maintaining deep-sea frigates and such. I don't think I'm suitable for Miss Barbarossa's new job. Maybe... maybe you should reconsider finding someone else..." Little White racked her brains for reasons to refuse while declining Frederick the Great's offer. "Someone like me, with an unknown background, suddenly being given such an important position and having the power to command others would definitely make the others uncomfortable..."

"Hmm." Frederick the Great listened carefully to Xiaobai's suggestion, nodded slightly, and then said, "Your considerations are indeed reasonable."

"Then, so it really is still..."

“That’s why I’ve gathered everyone here.” Frederick the Great looked up at the Deep Sea Deans on the other side. “If any of you have any objections to appointing Patina as Barbarossa’s successor, you are welcome to voice them. Does anyone object? If so, I will fully respect her wishes and reconsider Patina’s appointment.”

Frederick the Great's voice was calm.

The directors of the deep-sea research institute exchanged glances.

Xiao Bai looked nervously at the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

Just one is enough...

If even one director of the Deep Sea Academy objects, I won't be appointed...

Come and oppose me!

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

In the large conference room, no one spoke for a moment, and a brief silence fell.

Just one is enough.

Finally, one of the directors of the Deep Sea Academy spoke up.

"I have a problem with that!" Chao Dahe pursed his lips, raised his hand high, and looked serious.

Xiaobai looked at Chaodahe with surprise.

"Please speak," Frederick the Great said, looking at the Hyper-Yamato.

"Excuse me, is the position you're planning to give the admiral one that allows her to command other Abyssal Commanders in the city?" Super Yamato asked seriously. "I want to know exactly how high her authority is!"

“Generally speaking, as long as the content of the order does not harm their own interests, they are obligated to obey it,” Frederick the Great said. “This is for the sake of discipline in the city, and I ask for your understanding.”

"So, does that mean the Admiral is now the boss of this city?!"

"...when I'm not around."

"Okay!" Chao Yamato nodded seriously, then closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of excitement. "I agree! The admiral is absolutely capable of doing this job well!"

"..."

"Admiral! I believe in you, you can definitely do it!" Chao Dahe, blushing, shouted and cheered for Xiaobai, looking like a loyal fangirl.

Shiro stared blankly at the super-sized robot, who was caught up in the revelry, his mouth agape.

It’s over.

This is the first time I've been betrayed by my own people.

Xiao Bai wondered why Chao Da, who used to be quite clever, was acting like a traitor this time, getting so excited about the promotion...

“Very well.” Frederick the Great nodded, turning his head to look at Superior and Savoy beside him. “Savoy, what are your thoughts?”

“No.” Savoy shrugged, leaned against the wall and chuckled, his face full of mockery. “Isn’t this an interesting development? Anyway, I think she’s much more reliable than Barbarossa.”

Savoy and Xiaobai had a shady deal; the more power Xiaobai wielded in the city, the more benefits Savoy would receive, and she naturally had no objections.

“Kamikaze.” Frederick the Great looked at Kamikaze.

"Hehehe... What's wrong with my dear sister taking on this job?" Shenfeng chuckled, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she looked at Xiaobai, enunciating each word with a sweet, melodious voice, "I'm really looking forward to seeing how my dear sister, in her new role, will make me feel the heat of the moment."

If Savoy didn't object, Kamikaze was even less likely to object.

After all, only a few days had passed since Shenfeng attempted to corrupt Xiaobai with his mental power and was subsequently attacked. Shenfeng was already physically obedient to Xiaobai. Even if Xiaobai wanted to develop some plots that were not suitable for writing in a novel, she could not resist. Therefore, for Shenfeng, Xiaobai obtaining the authority of the second-in-command of the Deep Sea was almost the same as not having it.

not to mention.

Kamikaze was actually hoping that Shiro would do something to her.

Who told Xiaobai to be born into Kamikaze's XP?

“Barbarossa.” Frederick the Great looked at Barbarossa.

“She is more suitable than I am,” Barbarossa said earnestly, gazing at Frederick the Great.

"Hindenburg," Frederick the Great said, looking at Hindenburg, "and you?"

“I agree! Barbarossa is willing! I am too! I love the Admiral!” Hindenburg raised his hand, waving it in the air, and grinned like a child.

"Zuikaku." Frederick finally fixed his gaze on the deep-sea Zuikaku.

Xiaobai also pinned her last hope on the Deep Sea Crane.

Shenhai Zuikaku knew Xiaobai's background and was also the relatively intelligent Dean of Shenhai. She should be able to understand how inconvenient it would be for her to carry out undercover activities in this city if she became the second-in-command of Shenhai. The previous ones were unreliable, so she could only hope that Shenhai Zuikaku would voice her opposition and make Frederick the Great suppress the appointment of Xiaobai.

Under Xiaobai's gaze, Shenhai Zuikaku and Xiaobai exchanged a brief glance, and then he sighed softly.

It seems that the Deep Sea Crane understood what Xiaobai meant.

As Xiaobai's expression gradually filled with hope, Shenhai Zuikaku lowered his hand, about to say "I have an objection," when suddenly, in that instant, Xiaobai watched as Shenhai Zuikaku's movements stopped.

The deep-sea crane's body trembled.

The deep-sea crane opened and closed its lips.

A bead of sweat slid down the face of the deep-sea crane.

The deep-sea crane remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Bai was taken aback. Just as he realized that something was wrong with the Deep Sea Crane, he glanced at Frederick the Great and then realized what was going on.

"Ah! Frederick, you..."

Frederick, you have no martial virtue!

You actually used your mental power to suppress the Deep Sea Crane and prevent her from speaking!

So despicable!

"It seems no one objects." Frederick the Great's voice drowned out Xiaobai's, then he gently patted Xiaobai's shoulder. "Remember to come to work tomorrow at noon."

"Meeting dismissed."

Frederick left a final remark, and before the Deep Sea Deans present could react, he slowly took a step, but surprisingly quickly left the conference room.

Several seconds after Frederick left the meeting room, the deep-sea hermit, who had been sitting there as if imprisoned, suddenly trembled, took a deep breath, regained his mobility, and gasped for breath while holding onto the table in front of him.

The wood is done.

"Admiral! Congratulations!" Super Yamato and Hindenburg rushed to Xiaobai's side, one on each side, welcoming him like a great hero, their faces full of admiration and respect. "Admiral, you are amazing! You have become the second-in-command here in just a few days, and you get along so well with everyone!"

"I……"
