Elder brother's garrison

The old man smiled and said nothing more.

Emden, who was following behind the old man, suddenly felt nervous upon hearing this and subconsciously swallowed.

As the four approached the gate of the temporary garrison, a nonchalant figure happened to pass by.

Chairman Er Gou walked in from outside the naval base, carrying a wine bottle, yawning, and scratching his ear.

"Ugh, this eighth chapter is totally meaningless... They won't even let me touch the girls outside. I might as well go back to the newbie naval base and have a drinking contest with Washington." Guild Leader Er Gou grumbled as she entered, picked up the bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls. Then she saw Xiao Bai, and her eyes lit up. She quickly waved and greeted her, "Oh! Isn't this Xiao Bai! Come on, come on, perfect timing for you to ask Chao Dahe to send me back to the newbie base... um?"

President Er Gou greeted them warmly, and then they saw the old man and Emden next to Xiao Bai.

Strictly speaking, Emden is a ship girl type that is quite to the liking of President Er Gou.

But when President Er Gou saw Emden and the old man, she was indeed taken aback.

The old man looked up with a smile and exchanged a glance with Chairman Er Gou from afar.

"Fuck!"

President Er Gou jumped in surprise, and without saying a word, he dove into the nearby bushes and disappeared in a flash.

"Huh? President Sister?" Xiaobai was stunned for a moment as she watched President Er Gou run away from afar.

"Haha, Miss Mu is as energetic as ever," the old man said with a smile.

"Hmm? Miss Mu? Grandpa, do you know the president?" Xiaobai asked.

"Chairman... are you talking about the Mummy Song?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Yes."

“Old friend, old friend,” the old man repeated.

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully.

This old man is the elder of Admiral Haoding, and Admiral Haoding and the guild leader were once colleagues of the top ten admirals. So, it doesn't seem strange that the guild leader has met Admiral Haoding's elder.

Ok.

reasonable.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai stopped worrying and continued to see the old man off with a smile.

The group arrived at the main gate of the temporary garrison.

The old man went outside, glanced at the weather, and Emden, who was beside him, took a hat out of his ship's rigging and handed it to the old man.

The old man put on his hat, turned around, and smiled at Xiaobai.

"Admiral Lu Lin, this is enough. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you today. I'll come to apologize another day." The old man said, "As for that brat Hao Ding's gift... I'll think about it carefully later. I hope I can give you a satisfactory result next time."

"Ah... um... well, goodbye, grandpa." Little White waved to the old man.

The old man walked out of the temporary garrison with a smile.

Emden remained behind the door. She didn't leave with the old man immediately, but instead looked at Xiaobai with deep affection.

"Miss Emden?"

"Admiral Lu Lin." Emden bowed to Xiaobai. "Thank you for speaking up for me today. I will remember it."

"Don't mention it." Xiaobai waved with a smile. "That old man was very open-minded. I only said a few words, and he listened. I thought people of that age were as stubborn as those in TV dramas."

Emden smiled with satisfaction at Little White, then turned and left.

Emden caught up with the old man.

The two figures gradually disappeared into the street.

"What a strange old man," Little White muttered, then looked at Missouri beside her. "Missouri, thank you for your hard work today..."

“It is Missouri’s honor to share the Admiral’s burdens,” Missouri said with a smile. “But Admiral…”

"Ok?"

"I didn't expect the Admiral to personally refuse a ship girl that was offered to him. It's a bit of a surprise to Missouri." Missouri smiled and touched her face. "It reminds me of when I came to join you, Admiral. You almost put me through a lot of tests back then."

"Oh dear, that was so many years ago."

"Why did the admiral accept Missouri back then?"

"Would you believe me if I said you're good-looking?"

“If that’s what the Admiral says, Missouri will naturally believe it,” Missouri said with a smile.

Xiaobai and Missouri returned to the path inside the naval base.

As the two passed by the bushes, there were two rustling sounds from within, followed by a whooshing sound, and then President Er Gou popped his head out from under a patch of greenery.

"Hey, hey, hey? Have those two left yet?"

President Er Gou asked with a look of lingering fear.

"President Sister, they've already left," Xiaobai said.

"Oh my, that scared me to death." Upon hearing this, President Er Gou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She threw the green belt above her head behind her, then got up, picked up the wine bottle, and walked over to Xiao Bai while brushing off the dead branches and leaves on her clothes. "Hey Xiao Bai, how did you manage to offend such a big shot without making a sound?"

"Big Boss?" Xiao Bai tilted his head.

"Yes," President Er Gou sighed to Xiao Bai.

"That old man? Who is he?"

"Huh? What? Xiaobai, you don't know him?" President Ergou's eyes widened.

"Um..." Xiaobai touched her lips, "Who was it again?"

"Hiss..." President Er Gou took a deep breath, then quickly waved her arms at Xiao Bai and said, "He's Lin Zhengchuan! The awesome Old Master Lin!"

"Surname Lin?!" Xiaobai was stunned. "Isn't his surname Hao?"

"What do you mean, 'hao'?!" President Er Gou quickly put his hands on his hips and said, "Old Man Lin is the boss of our Admiral Headquarters, Commander Lin, do you understand? Not to mention us, even the entire Governor-General has to listen to his orders! That beautiful blonde, blue-eyed, big-butt ship girl next to him is Commander Lin's personal secretary ship! Emden! She's the legendary one who's second only to the leader! She and Old Man Lin have been friends for decades!"

President Er Gou said it with an air of seriousness.

After President Er Gou finished speaking, he saw Xiao Bai standing there with his mouth agape, stunned.

"Hmm? Xiaobai? What's wrong?" Guild Master Ergou asked. "Xiaobai?"

Xiao Bai covered her mouth, her pupils dilating in shock.

what?

what?

Is that old man the Commander-in-Chief of the Admiral's Headquarters?

His surname is Lin? Not Hao?

Ah... but he does look a bit like Admiral Haoding... It seems like the guild leader doesn't even realize this.

Is it to avoid suspicion?

so……

Was Admiral Haoding actually a relative of the Commander-in-Chief?

Was he really that strong?!

Chapter 3324 These days, everyone on the internet is an acquaintance.

Shocking facts!

Xiao Bai was momentarily stunned by the shock of the news he had just learned.

"Ouch……"

Xiao Bai covered his head and weakly let out a breath.

"Xiaobai? What's wrong? Is this really that shocking to you?" Guild Master Ergou asked curiously, looking at Xiaobai's expression.

"Hmm... I didn't expect that Admiral Haoding had such a connection..."

"Haoding? What happened to him?" President Er Gou asked curiously, startled.

Xiao Bai put down his hand and looked up at President Er Gou.

President Er Gou stared at Xiao Bai with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand why Xiao Bai would mention Hao Ding in this situation.

It seems that Guild Master Er Gou truly has no idea about the relationship between Admiral Hao Ding and that old man from earlier...

Thinking of this, Xiaobai opened her mouth, but after a while, she closed it again.

Since even the guild leader doesn't know about this, it means that this matter is also a secret among the top ten admirals, right... In that case, Xiaobai thinks that she should refrain from saying anything more until she has a clear understanding of the situation.

It's not that Xiaobai treats President Ergou as an outsider.

The main reason was that Xiaobai was afraid that if she told President Ergou, the entire Chapter 8 would know about Haoding's nepotism with the Commander-in-Chief the very next day.

"I didn't know that old man at all," Xiaobai said regretfully.

"Hey, you've only been an admiral for a short time, it's normal that you don't recognize Old Man Lin." Seeing that Xiaobai was speaking normally, President Er Gou smiled with relief and patted Xiaobai's shoulder. "I told you, the information of the commander-in-chief of the admiral headquarters is always top secret. Not to mention ordinary admirals, even among the top ten admirals, not many people have seen Old Man Lin in person. His access to information in the materials database is no less than that of the world's number one admiral."

"So, is the president one of the few people who have seen the old man?"

"That's what I mean..." President Er Gou replied somewhat hastily, as if she didn't really want to bring up this past event.

"What an amazing president!" Xiaobai praised sincerely.

"Well—who told me I'm the little princess of the Mu family?" President Er Gou said smugly, arms crossed. "There are bound to be some opportunities to meet her."

"Pfft." Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh at the guild leader Er Gou's "little princess" comment. She quickly covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden?" President Er Gou felt offended and pouted as he looked at Xiao Bai.

"No, no... I wasn't laughing..." Xiaobai quickly shook her head.

"You're lying! I saw you smile!"

"I was just thinking about happy things..."

"What, your wife is pregnant too?"

"Cough cough..." Xiaobai coughed twice, then pressed herself against President Ergou's body, tugged at her clothes, and said to President Ergou, "President sister, speaking of which, when I saw you on the road just now, you seemed very afraid of that old man."

"How can we not be scared? He's the boss of all of us admirals. If we don't serve him well enough and he gets angry, the worst punishments are... like deducting our salary, cutting our benefits, being sent to some remote, desolate place, being forced to work overtime at the naval base, or being assigned troublesome, low-paying missions. That old geezer doesn't hold back!" Once Er Gou mentioned this, he started complaining to Xiao Bai like a tap had been turned on. "Let me tell you, Xiao Bai, remember this: when we become admirals..." "We can mess with anyone, but not this old man Lin. If he's really determined to get us, he has plenty of ways to do it! For example, twenty years ago when he visited, I secretly added some mustard and croton seeds to his tea when no one was looking! Guess what happened? The next day, I was chosen as the Admiral's propaganda ambassador, tied up by a dozen people, and sent to human society. I had to spend six months reciting a moral model handbook in various human cities, carrying a little red book, before they finally sent me back!"

"Ah..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.

I never imagined that Chairman Er Gou and the Commander-in-Chief had such a connection...

It's hard to judge.

Xiaobai decided that when she went back to her dorm to rest later, she would go online and search for President Er Gou. Maybe she could even find a video of her being a moral exemplar twenty years ago.

"Xiao Bai, did Old Man Lin do anything to you?" Guild Master Er Gou asked Xiao Bai with concern.

"Ah...it's alright?" Xiaobai thought for a moment. During her time with the Commander-in-Chief, she felt that he was quite kind and approachable. "That old man was very kind to me. He even said he wanted to let Emden join our garrison."

"What?" President Er Gou's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Emden? For you?" President Er Gou winked and made a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked curiously, looking at President Ergou.

"That's impossible... Others may not know, but I do... Emden is Old Man Lin's secretary ship. They've known each other for decades. Old Man Lin doesn't have dementia yet, so why would he send Emden away?" said Chairman Er Gou.

“Huh? But just now it really was…” Xiaobai began.

"It's definitely fake." President Er Gou waved her hand and said to Xiao Bai, "That old man Lin Biden is a real shrew. You can't believe most of what he says. I bet he's just pretending to give you Emden. He's probably trying to test what you really want. You have to be careful when you talk to him. Don't fall for that old bastard's tricks. Otherwise, you might end up being sold out and still helping him count the money."

"Uh..." Xiaobai scratched his head.

what?

Is that so?

So it turns out the Commander-in-Chief wasn't really planning to give Emden to him after all...

What was the meaning behind his sudden stunt?

If I actually accept Emden's offer of employment, will there be any bad things?

The newbie doesn't understand.

Xiaobai didn't understand.
