Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 365 A Night of Expensive Communication (3200 words)
Every time he took a step, Ji Chenlin was suffering in pain.

Indeed, this time is the best time for him to fight against the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce.

But what about after the war broke out?

With such a hasty outbreak of the war that burned the entire eastern and western continents, can it be finished in a short time?

How do so many ordinary Oran people survive the long winter?

They are the Ministry of the Navy, not an administrative agency. Once the war starts, how will they help these ordinary people in Oran survive until next spring?

This is only a problem that the Eastern Continent needs to face. What about the Western Continent?
The strength of the Navy Department of the Western Continent is not as good as that of the Eastern Continent.

Even if there is a man like Iron-Blooded General Li Hongjun in the Western Continent, can the Western Continent Navy Department really compete with the Tomahawk military industry that has already started preparing for war?
And don't forget, the head snake of the Western Continent is the Tian'ou Group, which monopolizes the transportation and logistics between the two continents.

This is a more terrifying enemy than the greedy and violent Tomahawk military industry.

During this period of time, he has studied in detail the intelligence of the five major consortiums of the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.

As early as the era when the connection between the eastern and western continents was established in Oran, the Tian'ou Group already existed, and in history, the Tian'u Group has never had a major setback.

Whether it is a war, a coup d'etat, or the competition of new business enterprises brought about by the changes of the times, Tian'ou Group can always find its most appropriate position.

Even if there are occasional mistakes, Tianou Group will always make corrections as quickly as possible.

The most frightening thing is that there has never been any exception in the history of Tian'ou Group for hundreds of years.

This gave him the feeling that there was a pair of invisible eyes watching all the situations in Oran all the time, manipulating Tian'ou Group to always make the most correct choice.

He even doubted very much that even if the Zhuhai business would perish, Tian'ou Group would still change its identity and continue to exist in Oran.

Moreover, it seems that the Sirens have not launched a large-scale attack on them for a long time. According to the law of the past few years, the Sirens should launch a large-scale attack before the winter in the Eastern Continent.

But this year he didn't wait for the siren's attack, which made him even more worried.

Before he knew it, Ji Chenlin had already walked to the desk and stood in front of the black landline.

"Not to be missed……"

"Even if I don't launch a war, I can't change the fate of so many compatriots who were frozen to death and starved to death. Why don't you just take a gamble and have a chance to win a future..."

Ji Chenlin muttered repeatedly, as if speaking to himself, and slowly stretched his hand towards the black landline.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the phone, the phone in his navy uniform pocket suddenly rang.

"Who will call me at this number?"

Ji Chenlin froze for a moment, retracted the hand that was about to touch the landline, and took out the mobile phone from his pocket in doubt.

This mobile phone was his special plane when he was working at the Hongye Naval Academy, and only his colleagues and students when he was teaching at the Hongye Naval Academy had his phone number.

Since he has only been in office for a month at this time, and there is still a little work in the college that has not been handed over, he only takes this time with him.

While taking out his mobile phone, Ji Chenlin couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. The call came at the right time, allowing him to escape from the torture and suffering just now.

"Xiaolin? I remember that this kid seems to be the focus of the Tianxing Consortium. I arranged for him to go to the Western Continent for an internship?"

When Ji Chenlin saw the number on the phone screen, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he connected the phone without thinking too much.

"Hello? Teacher Ji, I'm Lin Lan. How are you doing recently?"

Hearing his student's familiar voice coming from the phone, Ji Chenlin's heart warmed.

Although he was curious about why Lin Lan came from the Western Continent, he also believed that Lin Lan was not a student who would run away.

He should have returned to the Eastern Continent after receiving some special commission from the Navy Department of the Western Continent.

For his student, Ji Chenlin is quite satisfied.

Especially during the year he was teaching, although Lin Lan was repeatedly plotted against by the Tianxing Consortium, he still ensured his attendance and successfully completed his studies.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Lin Lan to the Western Continent for an internship, which is far away from the influence of the Tianxing Consortium, in order to protect Lin Lan.

Speaking of which, Lin Lan doesn't seem to know that he has been transferred from the academy back to the headquarters of the fortress, and has become the head of the Dongdalu Navy, right?
But for some reason, he always felt that his student's voice sounded so weak, as if he hadn't had a good rest, and was deeply tired.

Ji Chenlin thought about it, and it's not difficult to explain.

After all, it took a week to cross the ocean from the Western Continent. It may be because Lin Lan encountered sirens on the way here, and he did not rest well after fighting.

Thinking of this, Ji Chenlin chuckled, with a smile that hadn't been shown since returning to the fortress, and jokingly said:
"You don't do your internship in the Western Continent. What do you do when you come back after working so hard? Wouldn't it be a deserter?"

While talking, Ji Chenlin also pulled out the chair and sat on the seat, ready to chat with his student for a while.

At this time, Lin Lan was wearing a padded jacket and the uniform of the Ministry of the Navy outside, standing on the deck of the White Eagle mass-produced destroyer, heading for the Red Leaf Naval Fortress against the bitter sea wind and snowflakes.

On one side of his shoulder stands a majestic bald eagle, the fluffy feathers help his cheeks to block a lot of sea wind.

And on the military cap above his head, there is a brown owl sleeping with its eyes closed.

He looks like a human bird like this.

Moreover, his face was also slightly pale, which was obviously caused by excessive physical exertion.

As for why he, who has the power of a brave man, will become like this, then he has to ask the owners who are still sleeping soundly in the cabin bedroom with the three big birds on him, what did they do to him last night.

After all, as we all know, the girls of the free White Eagle ship have always played more unrestrainedly than the girls of other camps.

And there are so many White Eagles, and Lin Lan is a fraternal commander, it is impossible to treat his marriage ships differently.

Ever since, the in-depth communication that cost money all night must not be escaped.

Even the company and others who came back from the changing of the guard did not miss the joyful party last night...

Of course, regarding his escort work, the White Eagle Lady who was supposed to be on duty did not slack off.

On the sea around the mass-produced White Eagle destroyer he was on, Washington, South Dakota, Baltimore, Bremerton, and Wichita all opened up their ships and escorted them.

Fortunately, as he expected when he set off, they didn't encounter any decent siren attacks all the way from the artificial island, only a small number of mass-produced siren models in standby state.

Hearing the long-lost teacher tease on the phone, Lin Lan said with an embarrassed smile:

"Who am I, teacher, don't you know? How could I be a deserter?"

"The Navy Department of the Western Continent has a special mission. I need to go back to the Red Leaf Fortress to report to the high-level navy. Moreover, the situation is urgent, so I must report directly to General Wang."

"So I want to ask the teacher, is General Wang in the Red Leaf Fortress recently?"

In Lin Lan's impression, General Wang was the highest authority in the Eastern Continent's Navy Department, and he usually stayed in the Red Leaf Fortress.

But just in case, and he did miss the teacher who took good care of him in the academy, so he called to ask.

After all, the communication between the East and West continents is really inconvenient, and it is impossible to notify in advance.

Therefore, many personnel of the Admiralty who report to and from the east and west continents also confirm the news in this way.

"Is there anything important? Just tell me directly."

But when Lin Lan heard what the teacher said on the phone, she froze for a moment.

No, why didn't his teacher play cards according to the routine?
He knew that his teacher Ji had a high status in the Naval Department of Dongdalu, and had once served as a high-ranking member of the Naval Department.

But what he said just now is to report to the highest authority of the Ministry of the Navy in person. Could it be that Mr. Ji is in the fortress at this time, can he help him convey the news to General Wang?

This is not good.

"Ahaha...Mr. Ji, it's like this. Before I set off, General Li Hongjun specially instructed me to report this information to General Wang face to face, so..."

Lin Lan laughed and wanted to get away with it, but he suddenly found that his teacher had fallen into silence.

A few seconds passed in silence like this, and just when he thought his words revealed something, the voice on the phone came slowly:
"So it's like this...Xiao Lin, General Wang is in the Red Leaf Fortress right now. When will you arrive? I'll contact the fortress in advance to let you in."

Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Chenlin say that.

He thought it was his teacher who noticed something was wrong.

"Teacher, I'm almost at Hongye City now, and I should be at the fortress at noon. I'll trouble you, teacher, at the fortress. I even brought you some specialties from the Western Continent. I'll come to the academy and bring them to you personally, hehehe .”

Lin Lan, a special product from the Western Continent who was sent to Mr. Ji, was not lying. The storage space of the small profiteer Akashi still has a lot of props from the teaching country.

For the Eastern Continent, the so-called Western Continent specialties are the teaching gadgets from Yunhai City.

"Hehehe, then I'll wait and see, Xiaolin, that's it, hang up first."

After saying these words, Ji Chenlin hung up the phone.

It's just that Ji Chenlin, who was sitting on the seat at this time, no longer had the relaxed expression just now, but a dignified expression.

"Li Hongjun wants to report to General Wang?"

"But didn't Li Hongjun already know that General Wang has retired, and now I am in charge of the Eastern Continent Navy Department?"

"Xiaolin, what are you...what are you doing in the fortress?"

But before Ji Chenlin had time to think carefully about the purpose of his students returning to the Red Leaf Fortress from the Western Continent, suddenly, piercing sirens rang through the entire fortress.

"Boom! Boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded suddenly, shattering the window glass of his office, and at the same time, the ground of the entire fortress trembled violently.

After the explosion ended, Ji Chenlin, who was suffering from short-lived tinnitus, covered his head in pain, and stood up with his arms on the desk.

He looked out the window, and the rising black gunpowder smoke had already blown in from outside, and the thick smell of gunpowder was mixed with the snowflakes, making him suddenly feel that he had returned to the former battlefield.

At this time, the door of his office was pushed open, and a navy soldier in a white uniform rushed in in a panic, shouting:
"General Ji! Siren, the Siren has invaded!"

"What did you say?!"
