Chapter 364 Lin Lan’s Teacher (3000 words)
"As of this morning, there have been more than a thousand conflicts involving omnic citizens in cities across the Eastern Continent."
"Both Tianxing Consortium and Noah Deshin Consortium have deployed order forces to carry out armed suppression of violent elements. Goiliya Consortium, Tianou Group and Tomahawk Military Industry have not issued any statement yet."
"The spokesperson of the Tianxing Foundation said that this is a process that must be experienced to develop into a new era. We hope that the majority of Oran citizens will act rationally and not continue to cause violence against omnic citizens..."
"Kara!!!"
With a harsh collision, a middle-aged naval officer wearing glasses threw the tea cup 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 Eastern Continent's Navy and currently the most powerful person in the Eastern Continent's Navy, clenched his fists fiercely, but still could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"Does the Zhuhai Commercial Association really want to destroy Oran?"
"Can't they see what is the most important problem that should be solved at the moment? Is Zhao Tianyi crazy?"
The white-haired middle-aged man in a white navy uniform 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 at the top of a magnificent fortress building. Through the window, he could overlook the docks in the entire fortress area, as well as the naval commanders and ship wives who were training on the seaside.
Here is the Red Leaf Fortress of the Eastern Continent Navy.
The simple gray-toned walls and dense large-caliber coastal defense guns that have been maintained by generations of Oran navy constitute the main theme of this thousand-year-old fortress.
From the sailing ship era to the ironclad era, to the modern battleship era, until the era of building ship girls through the mind cube.
Even though the times are constantly changing and there have been countless wars and coups, Hongye Fortress still stands, and the Oran Navy Department still stands here.
As long as the Admiralty is still there, Oran is still there. This is the most basic education that countless Oran people have received since childhood.
Because of this, even the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce, with the exception of Tomahawk Military Industry, was unwilling to openly break up with the Navy Ministry.
Government regimes can change, but the Navy will always be the foundation that protects Oran.
Ji Chenlin clasped his hands behind his back and looked solemnly at everything in the fortress outside the window.
As someone who has only been in this position for just a month, he deeply understands that Oran is now on the verge of destruction.
No one knows the terror of the Siren 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 battleship how those cold-blooded killing machines destroyed Oran's proud main fleet.
The huge aircraft carrier battle group and battleship fleet were blasted to pieces in front of those dexterous humanoid killing machines, without any power to fight back.
The huge fleet that shimmered with ghostly luster and the black carrier-based aircraft that looked like locusts had woken him up countless nights.
He understood that this group of monsters came from nowhere and wanted to completely destroy Oran. They just had a thought and they had no way to resist.
However, for some unknown reason, the Sirens did not completely destroy Oran. Instead, they only blocked all sea routes from Oran to the outside world and harassed them regularly.
In addition, at the moment when their country was about to be destroyed, they discovered a brand new energy vein on the seabed, through which they could extract a product called the Mind Cube, and create a girl who could fight the sirens - the ship girl.
Under this situation, their Navy Department finally relied on ship girls to rebuild many destroyed cities and resumed shipping routes 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 Sirens brought to him at that time.
How could they possibly be able to fight against the cold murderous intent that seemed to be able to destroy everything with the help of these girls?
Rather than them finally finding a way to fight against the Siren, it would be better to say that they are more like livestock raised in captivity by the Siren.
Once the right time comes, they will all be killed by the sirens in an instant!
But no matter how you put it, the Sirens have indeed rarely launched large-scale attacks since their navy built ship girls, giving them the opportunity to gradually spread the mind cube and ship girls to all port areas.
Only when they looked back did they discover that Zhao Tianyi, director of the Tianxing Consortium, had overthrown the government of Olan during this period and formed a new regime with four other consortiums - the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce.
If that were the case, it would actually not be a big problem for the Admiralty.
After all, the Admiralty has never interfered in Oran politics since its establishment, but has done its duty to protect Oran.
But the crux of the matter is that Zhao Tianyi publicly declared that he planned to give up sea power and only needed to defend the land and develop the inland economy.
Moreover, this guy has repeatedly suppressed their Navy Department through various channels, as if he regards them as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their 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?
How could it be possible for the Siren to give up its sea power and rely solely on mechas and coastal defense guns?
Giving up sea power is tantamount to giving up Oran's most powerful military power and giving up the most powerful weapon to compete with competitors such as the Natlan Empire and the Saint Lothalon Teaching State in the future!
So under this situation, for the first time in a thousand years, the Oran Admiralty made an order that violated the Oran authorities, and began to secretly confront the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, as a senior naval officer who had experienced many wars, he was transferred to Hongye Naval Academy to prepare for the training of 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 college.
What he didn't expect even more was that in just the past few months, several senior officials of the Eastern Continent's Navy had suffered unexplained accidents.
As a result, he was urgently transferred back to the fortress from Hongye 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 for this position.
If the Zhuhai Commercial Association continues like this, they will definitely have a battle with their Navy Department. There has even been news from the Western Continent that Tomahawk Military Industry is going to take the lead in preparing for them.
His old comrades no longer wanted to be ridden by the short-sighted villains of the Zhuhai Commercial Association.
The reason why the old general was anxious to retire was because he did not want to bear the title of "the first person to lead a civil war between the Admiralty and the Oran authorities."
The outbreak of civil war with the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce will definitely make the Oran Navy Department wield the butcher knife in their hands against their compatriots.
Because of this, Ji Chenlin was selected.
He is able to sit in this position because all the senior officials of the Navy Ministry hope that he will be the one to launch a war against the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.
When he received the letter from the academy, he originally thought about rejecting it outright.
Because he just wants to be a naval instructor training the younger generation with peace of mind, and does not want to be the "first person in the history of Oran."
He understood that no matter which side won the civil war between the Admiralty and the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce, he would not be able to escape being criticized by countless people.
The Admiralty's thousand-year legacy of eternal protection of the citizens of Oran would be destroyed at his hands.
But he thought that he had witnessed the persecution and assassination of students in the college, and that his old superiors were gradually driven to a dead end by the Zhuhai Commercial Association...
After Ji Chenlin arranged the last class of students he led, he finally returned to Hongye Fortress and agreed to the appointment.
Since a battle with the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce will break out sooner or later, even if he is later scolded as a dictator and executioner, he will admit it.
Of course, the news that he has become the leader of the Eastern Continent's Navy has not yet been made public, and all transfers of power are carried out in a low-key manner within Red Leaf Fortress.
Only when the civil war begins, will his identity be officially announced by the Eastern Continent's Navy Department.
Originally, according to his plan, the civil war between the Navy Department and the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce should break out in one or two years.
After all, this will be a war that will spread to the entire Oran. He needs enough time to plan and wait for the most favorable opportunity.
But he never expected that the Zhuhai Commercial Association would be so crazy, abandoning the lives of countless Oran people for the sake of profit!
What third generation robots, what new era of development?
This is clearly the trigger that pushes Oran into the abyss!
With so many robots put into work, is Zhuhai Commercial Association 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, which was as cold as his mood at this time.
He turned around and looked at the TV set that he smashed with a glass teacup with a complicated expression.
He was obviously 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 gave him the best opportunity to launch a war.
Protecting the citizens of Oran is the principle that their Navy Department has always implemented.
Nowadays, a large number of Oran citizens have been driven out of their jobs by the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce. It is very likely that they will not survive this winter and they hate the policies of the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, as long as he orders a war to protect the unemployed, countless Oran people will definitely join his command and resist the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce.
His eyes moved to the desk in his office, where there was a black landline phone, which was an emergency one-line communication for all senior leaders of the Eastern Continent's Navy Department.
As long as he dials this number, he can summon all the senior officials of the Eastern Continent's Navy Department to the fortress conference room within half an hour and declare the launch of war.
Ji Chenlin stared at the phone, stepped forward, and walked slowly.
