Colonia Storm Tour

"That sounds terrible. It's not just about dealing with the Astoria Empire. Could it be that there's another world police force in the west, similar to the United States?"

Lin Haiyuan buried half of his face and head in her two soft mounds of flesh and asked.

"The Asia we just saw is called Okkadgar, while the counterpart to North America is another continent called Teldrassil. There is also a federal country on this continent called the Teldrassil Federation. Putting aside the name that sounds familiar, this federal country is composed of elves with different ethnicities, pointed ears, and different skin colors. The federation is composed of several states formed by former elven tribes. Democracy is nothing to say about it, except that the leader is not called a president, but a chief executive officer. We have also seen their fleet. The art style is not entirely fantasy, and they also have warships with steel frames. However, their domestic ideology is pacifist, so they did not fight with the ship girls of Dual-Gun Li Xiangyang and Kangde. Instead, they exchanged languages ​​and communication methods, and there has been no further action so far."

Shinonono no Tsukasa's explanation of the system is entirely based on the approach used by the stars.

"Since there are alternative China and the United States, then what about the Russians, who are so popular? The two countries that are playing out on the world stage are missing one."

Lin Haiyuan inquired, smelling the air mixed with a pleasant body odor, his mind beginning to consider how to strike immediately and how to end these two fantastical countries.

For him, being beautiful is one thing, but when it comes to fighting, being more beautiful than others is not a reason to stop yourself from getting beaten up.

"Just above Okkadgar, separated by a narrow sea area comparable to the Red Sea, is a continent called Rosno."

Shinonono no Nakamaru moved the baton to a continent similar to Russia's territory.

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, guys.

Chapter Twenty-One: Dogma Day (Part Three)

"The country on the continent of Rosno is called the Republic of Ikchino. Like the Astoria Empire below, its main ethnic group is composed of beast-eared girls and beast-eared men. However, they have more KUMA, wolves and foxes, as well as anthropomorphic versions of some creatures that can be found in the Arctic. You know from the name Republic of Ikchino that this country is very communist, right?"

So, it's true that Shinonono no Tsukasa said the Ikchino Republic Union was Russian, judging from the large number of bear-eared girls and bear-eared boys.

"For the Soviet glory, any time! If that's the case, then Russia, China, and the United States are all together. But what about Europe?"

After reciting a few lines about choosing and moving the Sickle Motorcycle, Lin Haiyuan looked at the upper left of the world map.

"The counterpart to Europe is the continent of Seraphim, and there is a powerful military alliance on Seraphim called the Alliance of Eternal Revelation. This continent is famous for its advanced technology. The name and continent name are both in the style of the Supreme Commander. The only thing missing is UEF and Sebran. The main race is the previously insignificant human race."

Shinononozuka moved the baton to the upper left, to the continent that resembled Europe, only this continent was much smaller than the Europe they remembered.

"The continents of Seraphim, Rosno, Okkadgar, and Teldrassil occupy 25% of the planet's landmass, while the remaining 4% consists of various islands and island kingdoms. Just like Earth in the standard universe, each country maintains a superficial peace. The Teldrassil Federation may genuinely be maintaining peace, but it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly started fighting one day."

This concludes the explanation of Lin Haiyuan's current geographical location and power structure. However, he still needs to learn about the details.

"If they had nuclear weapons, there certainly wouldn't be a world war, right? You just mentioned they have magical enhancements, which means only the Eternal Revelation family has nuclear weapons?"

Lin Haiyuan knew from the fantastical names of the Teldrassil Federation and the Astoria Empire, along with the magical enhancements, that the other side likely didn't possess a weapon of mass destruction like nuclear bombs.

"Only the Eternals possess nuclear weapons. However, their pacifist ideology of peace and universal love prevents them from immediately resorting to force to conquer the world in order to maintain peace and ensure the future existence of humanity. Of course, we also know that in the game's storyline, the Eternals and the UEF are having a great time fighting against Sebran. Therefore, the condition for them to use nuclear weapons is very likely that another country will attack them. Remember, the power of nuclear weapons has been known to the world. That's why other countries can maintain peace with the Eternal Revelation Alliance."

Shinonono knew that they might encounter the Eternal Fleet again soon, and if they threatened them, these outsider transmigrators, with nuclear weapons, things would become complicated.

When they want to live in this world, they don't want a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, threatening them.

"They are benevolent interventionists, and they might get involved in battles that are not their concern. Since they have ICBMs like the Peacekeeper, do they have organized rocket forces or do they store all their ICBMs in one base like the Americans in MO?"

Lin Haiyuan undoubtedly shared the same thought as Shinonono: nuclear weapons posed a significant threat to them, and it was necessary to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons to ensure their safety if necessary.

"Based on the intelligence gathered from the internet and civilian sources, the Eternal Revelation Alliance stores all its nuclear warheads in a launch site, but the location of this launch site is unknown."

Since they were newcomers, they clearly lacked the ability to quickly establish their own intelligence network in this new world.

"If I can find this base, I will find a way to knock out all the nuclear weapons there without them even realizing it, leaving them completely clueless and ready to be psychologically prepared."

With his psychic abilities and the Altaïr armor, Lin Haiyuan could easily deal with a launch base that was completely unprepared for his arrival.

"So your method isn't Foehn at all, but rather Epsilon. However, for us pragmatists, that doesn't matter, especially since it concerns our lives. I'll analyze your Altaïr armor to ensure that your individual optical cloaking device is still functional. As for the nanotechnology needed to repair it, that won't be so easy."

Shinononozuka lacks the proper nanocentrifuge and related equipment to repair the damaged Altaïr armor.

"I know, so it would be good if we could fix the individual optical cloaking device on it. As for the Altaïr armor itself, it wasn't damaged by any serious external attack, so it's not that easy to break."

Lin Haiyuan wanted the key to covert operations to be the optical cloaking device on the Altaïr armor. As for why it wasn't a mind illusion device, it was because the mental energy fluctuations emitted by the mind illusion device might accidentally expose it. The mental energy's influence on the thoughts and spirits of those around it might be detected as abnormal. A simple optical cloaking device wouldn't have this strange problem, so the Altaïr armor used an optical cloaking device.

"Remember, this is the tropics, so you'll need to change into a different outfit. You can only wear your Altaïr armor when you need to operate alone."

Shinononozuka did this to reduce the probability of unforeseen accidents damaging Altaïr's armor.

"No problem, but you know my personality and thoughts. Could you find someone to make me a replica of the Altaïr armor? I don't want to wear the uniform of the Pacific Front commander or those naval idiots."

Lin Haiyuan himself had to wear the commander's uniform, and he was not used to the commander's uniform of the Pacific Front and the ship girls.

"It's very simple. There are quite a few ship girls with tailoring skills on Li Xiangyang's side. Just give them the design drawings and it should be fine. However, we will definitely use high-grade fabric to ensure comfort, which will make the custom-made price very high. But that's not a problem."

Shinonono no Tsukasa readily agreed to Lin Haiyuan's request to wear a replica of Altaïr's armor.

"Ah♂, that's good. Enough about the clothes. Now that we've joined the Azur Lane organization created by those two guys, what exactly are we going to do?"

Lin Haiyuan believes that every organization should have its own purpose, rather than gathering its members to sleep in the office or meeting room.

-

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing you prosperity and good fortune, commanders, generals, heretics, and Walkernet!

Without Colonia's flank air base, anything built using nanotechnology will face the predicament of being unable to be effectively maintained.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Dogma Day (Part Four)

"If the Allies want to guarantee free will and a free world, the Soviet Union wants to communize the whole world, Epsilon wants to command and conquer the whole world, and Foehn wants to protect the world from Epsilon's clutches while ensuring its own free will and saving the world, then the Azur Lane organization jointly established by Li Xiangyang and Kangde doesn't have such high-end and ambitious goals. At present, the overall tone is to protect itself and develop the surrounding offshore oil fields, increase revenue and reduce expenditure to preserve its existing territory. As for the idea of ​​dominating the world, it doesn't have it yet."

Shinonono Tsukasa's purpose for organizing Azur Lane can be simply summarized as: farming, protecting oneself, and not causing trouble.

"It sounds simple, but the problem is that the entire organization and we are all positioned on key routes, so it's impossible to just relax and farm. I think neither Li Xiangyang nor Kang De, nor the two of us, have any intention of being anyone's lapdog. Let's become the Southeast Asian countries of the new world."

Lin Haiyuan knew that they were all people who valued their face and dignity. It would be better to kill them than to make them be dogs for others. It would be more like others would be their dogs. Of course, he didn't expect any oddballs to appear who would say things like, "Being Da Meng's dog is the greatest honor."

"Neither they nor we want to become the despised Li Jiapo. Moreover, we are not weak and lack decent military strength. As long as the other side does not mobilize its entire fleet to attack us, it is not impossible for us to defeat them. Furthermore, neither the Astoria Empire nor the Tedasil Federation has expressed any attitude towards us yet, so we do not need to worry about being attacked by their fleet for the time being."

Shinononozuka drew a dotted line on the world map between Seraphim and their current position on the flight path.

"We haven't encountered the warships of the Eternal Revelation Alliance yet, but I believe they will soon seize the opportunity to come to us and see if we can promote the ideas of peace and universal love to win them over and make them a military base symbolizing their overseas presence. Oh, by the way, pirate ships appear on this route from time to time, so the Azur Lane organization will also organize hunting operations to eliminate these pirates who pose a threat to passing merchant ships and the organization itself."

The pirates mentioned at the end of Shinonono's words are nothing unusual. Even in the modern world, pirates have not disappeared from major shipping routes, so it is perfectly normal to still fight pirates.

However, the scope of piracy was significantly reduced to the Central European shipping route, because the impoverished and chaotic areas along the route were fertile ground for bandits and robbers.

"In short, there are no missions requiring us to go out on duty at the moment, so you can stay here and adapt to the Allied combat control system. EVA is not as smart as WalkerNet AI, so you can't play in the Archon mode as before. Just focus on operating the troops in combat without managing base construction, and stay here with me..."

As she spoke, Shinonono no Naka bowed her head—as a researcher, she was very welcoming of super artificial intelligence like Walker.com AI to help her solve some trivial problems.

After giving her a light kiss, Lin Haiyuan said, "Don't you think we're using too many flashbangs? Even though there's no one else here who will be blinded."

"That's why I like doing this, huh? Now let's continue with the search and rescue operation for your daughter. You know I'm not a transmigrator who came with an RTS game system. I can't create soldiers out of thin air to pilot those war machines. So, for the search and rescue operation, I'm just providing the equipment. The search and rescue personnel are still from Azure Island. The EVAs on Azure Island arranged the list of search and rescue personnel and the equipment yesterday. I just gave my approval to this operation, and they've already sent people to the island where you landed to search for your daughter."

Shinononozuka said, pressing the button to collapse the world map and return to the battlefield control interface.

"I hope I can find her on the island where I appeared, otherwise I can't feel at ease. But according to what you just said, now that there are tanks but no one to drive them, doesn't that mean I can only control robot tanks and drones like the X-0 futuristic tank for combat control?"

Lin Haiyuan thought that there didn't seem to be any manned vehicles driving around here.

"The future tank X-0 and the robot tank are easier to control with drones, and I don't want my base to be mixed with sand, so you only have unmanned vehicles for your command and practice."

The Allied transport plane that Shinononozuka had just boarded and the Black Hawk helicopters that were escorting him were both manned, and the pilots were undoubtedly Li Xiangyang's men. They returned to base after completing their mission.

“Really a starfish, which is unexpectedly convenient for you and me. If there were human soldiers around, we would definitely have been discovered if we hadn’t come out of the construction site all night.”

Lin Haiyuan didn't want gossip about him and Shinonono to reach Azure Island, otherwise it would cause others to have inappropriate opinions about him and her.

"So what? If they can't control their mouths either, I'll just withdraw everything I have there and only compensate them with oil. The two of us can manage on our own with just drones."

Shinononozuka scoffed, saying that if it weren't for the need to gather intelligence and save time and effort, he wouldn't have considered joining Azur Lane; at most, he would just be an ally.

"This way of speaking is so typical of me. We'll deal with them when they find out. They can't control us in this matter anyway. Now that the Mind Vision and the common knowledge about this world are complete, all that's left is for me to familiarize myself with and adapt to the Allied combat control interface. And you're still sitting on me like this instead of doing your serious research and development of military equipment?"

Lin Haiyuan is now eager to readjust to the Allied combat control interface in order to prepare for any potential conflict.

"The important thing right now is that matter. If I'm in a good mood after finishing that, the work will progress much faster."

Shinononozuka's mysterious smile had already told him the important matter.

"You promised to only do that kind of thing at night?! Get off me now. Scientific research requires both passion and composure, not this kind of catalyst."

Lin Haiyuan looked at Shinononozuka, who was licking her lips, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"That catalyst is just right for me. I won't get off you until I've had a go."

Shinonono no Tsuki said that she was completely wrapped around him and had no intention of letting go.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Lin Haiyuan let out the same long howl as when Dan Guai Xiao Ao was killed.

None OJBK. Remember to check it again when Chapter 13 appears (because it has been updated with normal content, replacing the original OJBK content).

Chapter Twenty-Three: Dogma Day (Part Five)

-Astoria Empire, Capital City Easttre-

Some have wondered what a country would look like if magic replaced technology and developed normally without chaos under such advanced magic. The Pharaoh's Trails series can serve as a reference, but it's just that—a reference. However, in terms of architectural style, it's undoubtedly Victorian. It's worth noting that Victorian architecture is a very broad term, encompassing many different styles, including French castles, Second Empire, Italian, Gothic, Elizabethan, composite, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Romanesque, and shingled-roof villas. Judging from many depictions of fantasy city backgrounds, the Victorian composite style is predominantly present. Therefore, brightly colored and ornate houses, triangular gables, soaring roofs, protruding eaves, tiered or fan-shaped brackets, fashionable corner towers, and balconies with porticoes are ubiquitous.

It was the dead of winter, and the capital city, with its predominantly cool colors, felt even colder. From a distance, it looked like a fairytale kingdom in the snow. The snow on the roads had been swept aside—since the Astoria Empire had steel warships, it was impossible for them to use something as outdated as horse-drawn carriages.

Therefore, we can see modern cars that are more stylish and cool than cars that are considered "classic cars" by modern standards. However, these cars do not have pungent and hot exhaust pipes. This is because their cars, warships, and airplanes do not consume "gasoline". Since their main theme is fantasy and magic, the fuel consumed by the cars is undoubtedly the crystal structures containing so-called magic power, as well as the magic engines used for propulsion. It seems that the horsepower is almost the same as that of the gasoline engines of the longswords.

As for the pedestrians on the street, their clothing oscillated between retro and modern styles, lacking a unified aesthetic. It seemed to foreshadow that the empire was in a transitional phase between the old and the new. Moreover, they all had distinct animalistic features, such as furry animal ears and tails of varying lengths. The most common were cats, dogs, foxes, and wolves, followed by some races whose origins were unclear. One point worth mentioning regarding their clothing was that their winter clothes did not cover them up completely; instead, they looked like summer clothes and coats with added thickness and appearance.

In other areas of the capital city, which share a similar style, the royal palace district, which occupies the central area of ​​East Teresa, naturally maintains high walls and thick ramparts. There are specially decorated walls and heavily armed royal guards with fierce and imposing faces guarding each entrance and exit, checking everyone entering and leaving the palace to ensure that there are no assassinations or explosions that could threaten the noble residents inside the palace. Otherwise, people would doubt whether the royal guards are reliable enough.

The largest palace in the Royal Palace District is called Thursminster Palace. However, the interior of the palace is not decorated with the extravagant and festive decorations that people might imagine, nor are there any priceless works of art or treasures. Instead, the decorations are all related to text and books. The items that are worth displaying in the palace are not works of art or gold and silver jewelry, but rather books that are meticulously bound and large enough to be displayed inside.

It was not the time for an audience with the emperor, so the ministers and generals standing on either side of the throne could not be seen. However, the Supreme King of the Astoria Empire, Decores van Dackholm, was meeting alone with two of his ministers: the Minister of Intelligence, Talisus Dirac, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Harrison Friedman.

"Your Majesty De Corres, our intelligence agents in the Spinning Arms Islands have obtained preliminary information about the Azur Lane. Let me give you a brief overview here: the locals saw ships with two different shades of blue anchors and rudder markings at the end of November this year, and in December, armed vehicles hovering on the water appeared in the Pisces Sea."

The non-Siren enemies appearing in the main story and event chapters all have ships whose names clearly indicate they are mass-produced warships of a certain class. For Dual-Gun Li Xiangyang, these mass-produced warships are not only meant to be enemies; he can also build a certain number to use himself. However, there are obvious limitations: he cannot manufacture mass-produced warships other than Japanese warships, and he also lacks important aircraft carriers. He only has destroyers, cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships. As for the Yamato and Musashi, forget about it; they haven't even been released yet! As for the armed vehicles floating on the water, they are undoubtedly the Kappa hover tanks and robot tanks provided by Shinononozuka. The Allied Navy's shipyards currently do not value the destroyers, Aegis cruisers, aircraft carriers, and battleships. The Allied destroyers have weak firepower, and only the Osprey anti-submarine aircraft are of great value. The Aegis cruisers, which have the strongest air defense, have not yet encountered any enemies with a decent air force. The aircraft carriers and battleships are far inferior to their ship girls. The Dolphins equipped with Prism Rifles Type 01 need to be trained separately.

"At first, the locals thought it was a pirate warship that wasn't flying its pirate flag. However, according to reports from fishermen and passing merchant ships, those ships and armed vehicles never attacked their fishing boats or merchant ships, nor did they fly a black pirate flag. On the contrary, they were attacking pirates. The name 'Azur Lane' was spread by their human members when they landed at the port and traded with the local residents. Their language of communication is not the local dialect or Astoria, but the Sakura language used by the inhabitants of the Sakura Islands. Therefore, it is very likely that all of their members are from the Sakura Islands. Your Majesty, you already understand what happened next, so I won't go into details. We haven't found their fleet's base island yet, but we have summarized their approximate range of activities. If Your Majesty orders the Royal Navy's [Shaonan] squadron to search for them, in conjunction with local intelligence personnel, we should be able to obtain the location of their home port by January of next year."

Talisus Dirac had finished speaking, so he took a small step back to indicate that he was done.

"Instead of robbing merchant ships, they are cracking down on pirates. They are also human forces that seem to speak the language of the Dieying Islands, and there are floating vehicles on the water. In the long run, their behavior is aimed at becoming the masters of the Qubi Islands and Fenggou Strait. Cracking down on local pirates can be seen as an act of maintaining their own stability and winning over the hearts of the people. This doesn't seem right."

Decores van Dackholm didn't want to see the most profitable and crucial shipping route fall into the hands of others, otherwise it would have a serious impact on the Empire's trade and economy.

“Your Majesty, I do not think sending our Royal Navy fleet to annihilate them is a good option.”

Foreign Secretary Harrison Friedman pondered.
