Transmigrated into Azur Lane

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Dong shook his head and rejected Nelson's suggestion. Although Bismarck had sworn that the numerous sea slaves would never return to the Sirens' embrace or defect to other powers, Lin Dong dared not place all his hopes on that verbal guarantee. Letting the sea slaves wreak havoc in India, making them universally hated, might perhaps increase the rift between the sea slaves and the various Indian powers, reducing the possibility of their cooperation.

Nelson nodded in agreement with the commander's decision and then continued reading the report in his hand.

Realizing that Nelson wasn't going to pay any more attention to him after finishing their work, Lin Dong immediately leaned in and blocked her view, shamelessly asking, "What do you mean?"

"Honey, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the money your good wives have spent in Africa these days. I'm telling you, if you don't keep an eye on them, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Nelson frowned, pushed the obstructing head away, and then slammed the financial expenditure report in his hand heavily onto the table in front of him.

Looking at the report handed to him by Nelson, Lin Dong quickly realized why Nelson was so angry. The report was filled with a dense list of categories for the funds withdrawn by the ship girls in the past few days, and each withdrawal amount was quite substantial, with Comet, Atago, and Shaku being the most prominent.

As the Maritime Safety Administration's oil fields in India, in partnership with Donghuang, began producing oil, Donghuang started refusing to sell oil to the Maritime Safety Administration under various pretexts, instead using Donghuang currency as the settlement unit, seemingly unwilling to allow the Maritime Safety Administration to hoard too many resources. Donghuang also believed that the money the Maritime Safety Administration, which had no self-sufficiency, received from Donghuang would eventually flow back to Donghuang, which could be seen as a shrewd calculation.

And things turned out much as Donghuang had anticipated. With the profits from the oil field, which had a capacity of tens of millions of tons, the Maritime Safety Administration's need for oil was no longer as urgent as before, and it had little objection to Donghuang's actions. Therefore, without the huge expenditure of purchasing oil, the Maritime Safety Administration now had more cash on hand than ever before.

In addition, Kuroshio has recently caused trouble, so Lin Dong has started to spend money like crazy to compensate the ship girls, proposing a policy of "reimbursement for everything you buy". During this period, apart from Gridley, the ship girls of the Maritime Bureau can be said to be living a very comfortable life.

In contrast to Nelson's anger, Lin Dong casually tossed the report aside and said calmly.

"Money is just an external thing; if you spend it all, you can earn more. It's not like we've never been poor before."

At this moment, Lin Dong's arrogant and nouveau riche ugly face was on full display.

Nelson slammed his fist on his desk again, angrily addressing the commander who couldn't distinguish between public and private matters.

"Without rules, there can be no order. You call yourself a Donghuang person? Haven't you ever heard this old Donghuang saying?!"

In her eyes, who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, the commander's behavior of treating the Maritime Bureau's property as the property of all the ship girls is absolutely intolerable.

Faced with Nelson's furious outburst, Lin Dong could only weakly reply.

"I'm not from Donghuang..."

"What did you say?"

Nelson looked on in disbelief, thinking she had misheard something. Although she knew this was another world, the distribution of power in the original world was not much different from that in this other world. And in her memory, this good-for-nothing husband was indeed a commander under the Eastern Empire.

Realizing he had inadvertently let something slip, Lin Dong immediately pretended to be crazy and shouted.

"Time to go home!"

Without saying another word, he walked straight out the door...

In Lin Dong's eyes, Donghuang was merely a fictional country created by a game developer. While it shared many similarities, it clearly couldn't be linked to his homeland. As for why this country, so strikingly similar to his own, existed in another world, he could only ask fate. Since failing to find his home from his memories during his trip to Donghuang, he had given up on the idea. In his mind, he always considered himself Chinese, not some random Donghuang...

Watching the commander's retreating figure, Nelson muttered to himself in annoyance.

"Hmph, how strange."

...

"Belfast, shall we go see a movie? I heard the theaters in Arizona are really awesome!"

As Lin Dong stepped out of the room, he immediately made a suggestion to the head maid who was following closely behind him.

"Now that work is finished, Commander, why don't you head to the gym and get some exercise?"

"....good"

Seeing the head maid's unyielding expression, Lin Dong wisely gave up the futile struggle. Although he felt a little down, he didn't want to show it in front of Belfast. So, he put on an enthusiastic "I love sports" look and led the head maid and the ninja towards the gym... Looking for the latest chapters yourself? You're so outdated!

Chapter 399 Gym

Although it was afternoon, there were still quite a few ship girls busy using various fitness equipment in the gym. The atmosphere was similar to that of a regular gym, with everyone focused on their own equipment and hardly exchanging any words.

In the gym where only the sounds of the equipment could be heard, the three people who suddenly walked through the door and entered the room instantly became the focus of attention.

Tennessee, who was sitting in front of the chest press machine doing chest muscle training, shouted with surprise when he saw the commander.

"Hey! What a rare guest!"

After she finished speaking, she released the pusher she had been holding and walked toward the commander. Without her support, the 2000kg weight on the back of the equipment fell with a deafening sound.

However, this sound, no less frightening than the one when Victory fell from the building a few nights ago, didn't attract the attention of the other ship girls, who seemed to be used to it. It was Lin Dong, who had just entered the room, who was startled.

Wearing a tight vest that accentuated her stunning figure, Tennessee casually wiped the sweat from her face with a towel hanging around her neck, then casually draped her arm over the commander's shoulder as if they were old buddies, and said...

"Has the Commander finally come to his senses and decided to start exercising more?"

Why would Tennessee, whose favorability rating is not high, be so enthusiastic? This has to do with the commander's popularity. Haven't you seen dozens of ship girls following him around when he just has tea after a meal? It's unknown how many of them genuinely enjoy tea. Tennessee, the initiator who is eager to expand the "Fitness Enthusiasts Association," naturally values ​​the commander's influence.

Lin Dong, with Tennessee's arm around his back, who was covered in sweat, felt the stickiness of her sweat and the steam rising from her breasts, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

If this phenomenon happened to an ugly woman, it would naturally be disgusting, but if it happened to a stunningly beautiful woman, it would exude a healthy aura. Therefore, Lin Dong was not particularly disgusted; on the contrary, he felt a strange little excitement, which could be described as quite perverted.

"Yeah, I've finally finished working these past few days, and I can finally do something I enjoy!"

Lin Dong, who had absolutely no sense of shame, echoed Tennessee's words, "Could you say you were forced to come by the head maid? Aren't you ashamed?" He then pretended to raise his knees, doing the warm-up exercises that athletes did on TV.

"It's wonderful that the Commander is willing to join our association!"

Tennessee, who was equally shameless, also began to act on his own initiative.

"What?! The Commander has finally agreed to join us?! Sister!"

California, who was originally jogging on the treadmill far away, followed her sister's lead and, true to her tagalong nature, joined the group after seeing her sister talking to the commander.

"Mmm!"

Tennessee immediately responded with a triumphant smile. In front of her sister, she always maintained the authority expected of an older sister and tried her best to create the impression that "the older sister is omnipotent."

"As expected of the older sister!"

California exclaimed with admiration, clearly showing that Tennessee's years of hard work had not been in vain. Then, the follower looked at the commander next to his sister, who couldn't even do the warm-up exercises properly, and asked in surprise.

"I never expected that our well-built commander would be such a gym newbie."

Lin Dong, who was originally thinking about how to brag to make a better impression on the two sisters, was hit hard by the sudden ridicule, and even his warm-up exercises gradually stopped.

However, Tennessee, whose hand was still on the commander's shoulder, very tactfully came to the commander's rescue.

"The commander is usually busy with work, unlike the two of us who just laze around all day. It's already amazing that we've managed to get this physique."

Although she was trying to help the commander out of a tight spot, Tennessee couldn't help but take the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction with the cold treatment she had received in the Maritime Bureau in the past. But despite her dissatisfaction, the matter was over, and now everyone in the Maritime Bureau was not much different from her previous state of just loafing around. Having already let it go, she quickly regained her previous enthusiasm and patted the commander on the back.

"From now on, I'll be the Commander's personal trainer. I guarantee you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

Tennessee, whose graceful body was pressed tightly against the commander, was not unaware of the awkwardness between them. However, after keenly noticing that the commander seemed quite attracted to her behavior, she pretended not to notice.

This brings us to the ship girls' style of doing things. Years of combat have taught them that they'll stop at nothing to achieve their goals, just like Yukikaze and Akagi who betrayed Lin Dong, and Tennessee, who wanted to keep the Maritime Bureau fit. Plus, coming from the passionate and open-minded Eagle Union, these intimate gestures are a piece of cake for her!

As long as the commander can be kept here, ship girls who want to cultivate their relationship with the commander will come to the gym in an endless stream, and the growth of the "Fitness Enthusiasts Association" will be just around the corner. Compared to this great feat, what are those little physical bumps and scrapes?

While it was a small matter for Tennessee, it was undoubtedly a major event for Lin Dong, who was already feeling the murderous gaze from behind, which could materialize at any moment!

Lin Dong, who had been secretly enjoying this strange feeling, then slightly stepped aside from Tennessee's intimacy and said reservedly with a flushed face.

"Then I'll have to rely on you, Tennessee..."

Just then, California, who always likes to follow trends, also raised her hand and shouted loudly.

"I want to be the commander's personal trainer too!"

"I'll have to trouble you again, California, haha."

...

"Tennessee, stop pressing down! My back is about to break! Ouch! Ouch!"

At this moment, Lin Dong, who was lying on his back on the exercise ball, stiffened his body and kept begging for mercy from Tennessee, who was still pressing his body against the ball with all his might.

However, Tennessee was no longer the warm and hospitable woman she had been before. When it came to her professional field, she became extremely serious and immediately refused with a blank expression.

"This is the most basic crunch exercise, used to loosen the commander's joints, and it's also the direction Belfast asked me to train the commander in."

If she didn't agree to that arrogant maid's conditions, she wouldn't let the Commander come to the gym again. Tennessee, with a cool expression, added this thought to herself...

Chapter 400 Gym Part 2

Lin Dong, pinned to the exercise ball, wailed and begged for mercy under Tennessee's merciless iron fist for a long, long time, until his old back suddenly made a series of sounds. It was unclear whether it was a spinal misalignment or if he had truly opened up his Ren and Du meridians under Tennessee's masterful guidance. Tennessee suddenly paused, and only then did he stop his rigorous training of the commander.

While the commander was resting, Tennessee quickly left his side. When she returned, she had a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and her expressionless face had changed to the previous warm and enthusiastic look. She then handed the water to the commander and said with a smile.

"Commander, have a sip of water."

Faced with Tennessee's sudden attentiveness, Lin Dong couldn't help but wonder if he had actually opened up any meridians, or if his old back had really been messed up by this woman who didn't know her own strength.

Seeing the commander's slightly displeased expression, Tennessee couldn't help but stick out her tongue. As a ship girl, she subconsciously didn't treat the commander like a human being and hit him a little too hard. Then, fearing that the commander would never come to the gym again, she quickly sat down next to him. Taking the towel hanging around her neck, she began to wipe the sweat from the commander's face.

After taking a big gulp of water, Lin Dong, feeling the softness pressed against his arm, had lost all his previous fantasies. He remained calm and composed, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world, and said indifferently.

"Please have some self-respect, young lady."

If this little bit of seduction is enough to make me pay such a heavy price, then I should just give up. I have more than a dozen wives; I'm not some kind of lustful monster.

Tennessee, who had been diligently wiping the commander's sweat, paused when she realized that her seduction techniques were not as effective as before. It seemed that this old rogue was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined.

"Commander, lie down. Let me give you a massage to loosen your muscles and joints. Your back pain will be relieved soon!"

Tennessee decided to use his best skills to retain the commander. After saying this, he immediately rubbed his hands together, determined to let the commander experience the muscle massage technique that he had taught himself for many years.

"Ah... never mind..."

As soon as Lin Dong politely declined Tennessee's offer, he tried to stand up from the iron stool, but the soreness in his waist made him plop heavily back down in his original position.

Fearing that he might actually be killed by this ship girl, Lin Dong, realizing that he couldn't escape for the time being, said nervously.

"I'll rest a little longer and then I'll leave..."

"Oh, if Commander insists on leaving, I'll kick your spine right now and crush it, so you can spend the rest of your life in bed, and at least you won't have to worry about working out anymore..."

As mentioned earlier, ship girls always retain their battlefield habits in handling matters. No matter how despicable the process, they will carry it out without hesitation as long as it achieves their goals. And this commander, who is clearly refusing to listen to reason, has already earned Tennessee's low favorability, so she decided to stop flattering him. What a shameless bastard!

No sooner had Tennessee finished speaking than the cowardly Lin Da Guanren had already slumped onto the iron bench, and before he was done, he shamelessly urged her on.

"Tennessee, what are you waiting for? I'm so excited!"

"Hmph..."

Seeing the commander's sensible expression, Tennessee couldn't help but chuckle smugly. Then, disregarding any secrecy between men and women, she straddled the commander's backside, flipped up his shirt, and placed her hands on his waist, beginning a rehabilitation massage...

Although the facade had been torn off, Tennessee's threats were merely a means to achieve her goal. While she wasn't particularly fond of him, she wouldn't actually do anything to harm the commander. Under her professionally executed technique, Lin Dong, who had been lying on the iron bench like a dead pig awaiting slaughter, quickly began to groan comfortably.
