Chapter 364 Lin Lan's Teacher (3000 Words)
"As of this morning, there have been more than a thousand conflicts in cities across the East Continent that have harmed intelligent citizens."
"The Tianxing Consortium and the Noah Dexin Consortium have both deployed order forces to carry out armed suppression of violent elements. The Goilia Consortium, the Tianou Group, and the Tomahawk Military Industry have not yet issued any statements."
"The spokesperson for the Tianxing Consortium said that this is a necessary process for the development into a new era. He hopes that the majority of Orlan citizens will act rationally and not continue to create violent incidents against intelligent citizens..."
"Kala!!!"
Accompanied by a harsh collision sound, a middle-aged naval officer wearing glasses directly threw the teacup in his hand onto the TV screen in the office, smashing the TV that was broadcasting the news to pieces.
Ji Chenlin, the general of the East Continent Navy Department and the current highest authority of the East Continent Navy Department, clenched his fists, but still could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"Does Zhuhai Commercial really want to destroy Oran?"
"Can't they see what the most important problem to solve is! Is Zhao Tianyi crazy!"
The white-haired middle-aged man in the white uniform of the Navy Department cursed in a low voice with an angry face. After taking a deep breath for a long time, he got up from the sofa and walked slowly to the window in the office.
Outside the window in the early morning, it was snowing heavily.
The room he was in was located at the top of a magnificent fortress building. Through the window, he could overlook the docks of the entire fortress area, and the naval commanders and ship girls who were training on the seashore.
This is the Red Leaf Fortress of the East Continent Navy Department.
The quaint gray walls and dense large-caliber coastal defense guns prepared by generations of Oran Navy constitute the main theme of this fortress with a thousand-year history.
From the sailing ship period to the ironclad ship period, to the modern warship period, until the period of building ship girls through the mind cube.
Even though the times are constantly changing and have experienced countless wars and coups, the Red Leaf Fortress still stands, and the Oran Navy Department still stands here.
As long as the Navy Department is still there, Oran will still be there. This is the most basic education that countless Oran people have received since childhood.
For this reason, even the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce, except for the Tomahawk Military Industry, is unwilling to openly tear its face with the Navy Department.
The authorities can change, but the Navy Department will always be the foundation for protecting Oran.
Ji Chenlin put his hands behind his back and looked at everything in the fortress outside the window with a solemn face.
As he has only been in this position for a month, he deeply understands that Oran is now on the verge of destruction.
No one knows the horror of the Sirens better than him who has personally participated in the fight against the Siren disaster.
At that time, he was just an ordinary soldier, and he saw with his own eyes on the warship how the group of cold killing machines destroyed the main fleet that Oran was proud of.
The huge aircraft carrier battle group and battleship fleet were smashed without any resistance in front of the group of agile humanoid killing machines.
The huge fleet shining with the luster of the netherworld and the black carrier-based aircraft like locusts entering the country woke him up countless nights.
He understood that this group of monsters that came from nowhere wanted to completely destroy Oran, but it was just a thought, and they had no way to resist.
But for some reason, the Siren did not completely destroy Oran, but only blocked all the sea routes leading to the outside world from Oran and harassed them regularly.
In addition, when they were about to destroy the country, they discovered a new energy vein on the seabed, which could be used to refine a product called Mind Cube and build a girl who could fight against the Siren-the Ship Girl.
In this case, their Navy Department finally relied on the Ship Girl to rebuild many destroyed cities and resume the route with the Western Continent.
Although many people in the Navy Department thought that they had finally passed the most dangerous period, Ji Chenlin could not forget the fear that the Siren brought to him at that time.
How could they fight against the cold murderous intent that seemed to destroy everything with these girls?
Rather than finally finding a way to fight against the Siren, it is better to say that they are more like livestock kept by the Siren.
Once the right time comes, they will all be killed by the Siren in an instant!
But no matter what, the Siren rarely launched large-scale attacks since their Navy Department built the Ship Girl, giving them the opportunity to gradually popularize the Mind Cube and Ship Girl to all ports.
Only when they looked back did they find that Zhao Tianyi, the director of the Tianxing Consortium, had overthrown the government of Oran during this period and joined forces with the other four consortiums to form a brand-new regime-Zhuhai Commercial Association.
If that were the case, it would not be a big problem for the Navy Department.
After all, the Navy Department has never interfered in Oran politics since its establishment, but has done its duty to protect Oran.
But the key to the problem is that Zhao Tianyi, this guy, actually publicly declared that he intended to give up sea power, and only needed to do a good job of land defense and develop the inland economy.
And this guy has repeatedly suppressed their Navy Department through various channels, as if he regarded them as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.
Ji Chenlin didn't understand what was in the head of this consortium director. Is this a policy that an Oran person could come up with?
Giving up sea power, how could mechas and coastal defense guns alone be the opponent of the Siren?
Giving up sea power is equivalent to giving up Oran’s most powerful military force and giving up the most powerful weapon to compete with rivals such as the Natlan Empire and the Saint Losolon Church in the future!
So in this situation, for the first time in a thousand years, the Orlan Navy Department violated the orders of the Orlan authorities and began to confront the Zhuhai Commercial Association in secret.
Originally, as a senior naval official who had experienced many wars, he was transferred to the Red Leaf Naval Academy to train a new generation of naval commanders.
But what he didn't expect was that the Tianxing Consortium would directly choose to attack the students in the academy.
What he didn't expect was that in just these few months, several senior officials of the East Continent Navy Department suffered accidents for unknown reasons.
As a result, he was urgently transferred back to the fortress from the Red Leaf Naval Academy by the old general, and was directly recommended by many old comrades to become the current highest authority in charge of the overall situation of the Navy Department.
Ji Chenlin knew very well why the old general and his comrades chose him to take this position.
If the Zhuhai Commercial Association continued like this, it would definitely have a war with their Navy Department. In the West Continent, there was even information that the Battle Axe Military Industry would take the lead in preparing for war against them.
His old comrades no longer wanted to be ridden on by the short-sighted villains of the Zhuhai Commercial Association.
The reason why the old general was anxious to retire was because he didn't want to bear the title of "the first person to lead the Navy Department and the Oran authorities into a civil war."
The outbreak of the civil war with the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce will surely make the Oran Navy Department swing the butcher knife in their hands against their compatriots.
That's why he, Ji Chenlin, was chosen.
He was able to sit in this position because all the senior officials of the Navy Department hoped that he would be the one to start a war against the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce.
When he received the letter in the academy, he originally thought of directly refusing.
Because he just wanted to be a naval instructor who trained the younger generation, and didn't want to be the "first person in Oran's history."
He understood that no matter which side won the civil war between the Navy Department and the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce, he would not be able to escape being criticized by countless people.
The Navy Department's thousand-year heritage of always protecting the citizens of Oran will be destroyed in his hands.
But thinking of the students he witnessed being persecuted and assassinated in the academy, and thinking of his old superiors being gradually driven to a dead end by the Zhuhai Commercial Association...
After Ji Chenlin arranged the last batch of students he led, he finally returned to the Red Leaf Fortress and agreed to the appointment.
Since a war with the Zhuhai Commercial Association will break out sooner or later, he will accept it even if he is scolded as a dictator and executioner later.
Of course, the news that he has become the head of the Navy Department of the East Continent has not yet been made public, and all power transfers are carried out in a low-key manner within the Red Leaf Fortress.
Only when the civil war breaks out will his identity be officially announced by the Navy Department of the East Continent.
Originally, according to his plan, the civil war between the Navy Department and the Zhuhai Commercial Association should break out in one or two years.
After all, this will be a war that will spread the flames of war to the entire Oran. He needs enough time to plan and wait for the most favorable time.
But he never expected that the Zhuhai Commercial Association would be so crazy that it would abandon the lives of countless Oran people for the sake of profit!
What third-generation robots, what new era of development?
This is clearly the fuse that pushes Oran into the abyss!
Putting so many robots into work, is he going to let so many laid-off people starve to death? !
"War..."
Ji Chenlin thought of this and slowly raised his hand to open the window.
The cold wind of winter brought a few snowflakes into his office, just like his mood at the moment.
He turned around and looked at the TV that he had smashed with a glass teacup with a complicated expression.
He was only in his early forties, but at this moment, he felt as if he had aged ten years.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the sudden operation of the Zhuhai Commercial Association at the moment gave him the best opportunity to start a war.
Protecting the citizens of Oran is the principle that their Navy Department has always implemented.
Now a large number of Oran citizens have been driven out of their jobs by the Zhuhai Commercial Association, and it is very likely that they will not survive this winter, and they hate the policies of the Zhuhai Commercial Association.
At this time, as long as he orders a war to protect the unemployed, there will definitely be countless Oran people joining him to resist the Zhuhai Commercial Association together.
His eyes moved to the desk in his office, where there was a black landline phone, which was an emergency single-line communication for all the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Continent Navy.
As long as he dialed this number, he could summon all the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Continent Navy to the fortress conference room within half an hour and declare war.
Ji Chenlin stared at the phone, took a step, and walked slowly.
