Azur Lane: I took the graduation port area through time
Chapter 43 Leviathan
The territorial waters of the United States of Orange and the Eastern Continent Route.
On the calm ocean, a fleet of four fully loaded large ocean-going cargo ships was sailing at full speed.
The large white seagull logo on each cargo ship illustrates the identity of this fleet.
The Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce of the United States of Oran, among the five major consortiums, is the only giant that can conduct navigation between the east and west continents - Tianou Group.
At noon under the clear sky, in the luxury restaurant of the freighter at the front, two young men were having lunch at the dining table and having a conversation.
One person was wearing a white Oran navy uniform and looked calm.
One man was short and fat, dressed luxuriously, but had a flattering look on his face.
"I've said it before, it's impossible for me to agree to this kind of long-term entrustment contract. You can only get the same answer when you go to any port area."
The young port commander Zhao Rui sat at the dining table, put down his chopsticks and shook his head.
After hearing his words, the short and fat man's face froze, and he quickly said anxiously:
"Brother Zhao, you are my eldest brother. Since I have introduced you to so many commissions, please help me. Otherwise, those old men on the board of directors will definitely abolish my right to pre-select the director! "
The short, fat man in luxurious clothes had tears on his face, and he begged Zhao Rui in front of him with a stern look on his face.
His name is Sun Dewang, and he is not an ordinary businessman.
As he said, he is one of the pre-selected directors of Tianou Group.
However, Tianou Group currently has at least seven or eight pre-selectors.
He is just one of them, and he is already on the verge of being eliminated.
"Hey...Old Sun, it's really not that I won't help you."
Looking at Sun Dewang who was about to shed tears, even Zhao Rui, the port commander, looked embarrassed.
"It cannot be denied that your Tianou Group is the closest consortium to our Navy Ministry among the five major consortiums, and I have always appreciated your favor."
"But, you are the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce after all. Siren attacks have been particularly frequent in recent times, and the headquarters' missions are becoming more and more difficult each time."
After Zhao Rui sighed deeply, he looked deeply at Sun Dewang and continued:
"Your passenger ship was attacked by sirens two days ago, haven't you forgotten? With two destroyer girls escorting us, we were almost destroyed by the sirens."
When he mentioned this, the fat on Sun Dewang's face seemed to twitch.
Of course he remembered this, because the passenger ship was owned by him.
It was precisely because the captain abandoned his passengers and fled privately when the passenger ship was attacked that he was widely used by other candidates for director preselection and was wildly criticized by the media.
As the main person in charge of the passenger transportation business, he was sprayed with blood by the old guys on the board of directors.
If it were not for the timely rescue by a powerful port commander whose identity has not been revealed, and the Siren attack did not cause any casualties, I am afraid that his status as director preselector would have been abolished on the spot.
"Originally, the Navy Ministry strictly prohibited our port commander from cooperating with the consortium. It's just the special management situation of the port area that the higher-ups turned a blind eye."
"On weekdays, we cooperate with you to entrust escort. As long as the ship girl is not injured, the superiors don't bother to care."
"This time Lao Hong's two darlings were almost sunk by the Siren. In the current situation where the war with the Siren is becoming more and more intense, every casualty of the ship girl is a huge loss to the Navy Department."
"I heard that the military police have already detained him as a typical punishment."
"Now that I can carry out such a short-term commission with you, I am already committing a crime against the wind."
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he took a breath and reached out to pat the shoulder of Sun Dewang, who had a bitter face, to express comfort.
It’s not that you don’t want to help you, it’s that you can’t even protect yourself.
"That damn guy, ugh!"
Sun Dewang slammed the table angrily.
Thinking of the captain of the passenger ship who abandoned the ship and ran away, he became furious.
Originally, if the captain was on duty, major issues could be reduced to minor issues.
As a result, as soon as that irresponsible guy ran away and was exposed by the insider of the group, the credibility of the entire Tianou Group was immediately reduced to the lowest level.
You know, Tianou Group has a monopoly on HNA's profits, and the other four major consortiums are all keeping an eye on it.
In particular, Tomahawk Military Industry, which is located in the Eastern Continent with the headquarters of Tianou Group, has begun to formulate the HNA Industry Plan. This incident is the opportunity for backstabbing that the other party has been waiting for for a long time.
Looking at the naval commander in front of him who was about the same age as himself, Sun Dewang knew that the other man had made up his mind and could only sigh deeply.
If it weren't for the appearance of the Sirens, which blocked all routes between the United States of Oran and other countries, their Tianou Group would have been the largest transoceanic consortium in the world.
Today, Tianou Group has become the weakest of the five major consortiums in Oran.
Just when Sun Dewang opened his mouth to say something more, the hull of the passenger ship suddenly tilted abnormally.
Before the two of them could react, a violent alarm sounded inside the ship.
"Enemy attack? Is it a siren?"
Sun Dewang instantly turned pale, but Zhao Rui quickly calmed down while holding onto the dining table with plates scattered on the floor.
"Even if it's a Siren, there should be no problem. My main fleet is all here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shelling and explosions sounded outside.
"Let's go out and take a look!"
The extremely heavy freighter was bumping violently on the ocean, as if it would roll over at any time.
The sounds of gunfire and explosions also kept coming.
When the two of them rushed to the captain's room where they could observe the outside, they were stunned for a moment.
Like a strange black beast coming from the abyss, it stood diagonally in front of the fleet, blocking its progress.
The body of this giant beast just floating on the sea is already taller than a freighter that is tens of meters tall. Several dark green tentacles with seaweed are waving wildly on the ocean.
The ferocious mouth with sharp teeth let out bursts of intrusive howls, and its eight scarlet eyes were staring at the several small figures that were besieging it on the sea.
"How could...Leviathan?"
Zhao Rui's expression also changed, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Sun Dewang also recognized this terrifying beast and wailed loudly:
"It's really Leviathan, I, I, I... Let's go, don't these ghosts only lie dormant in the trench of the Saint Lothalon Teaching Kingdom? Why do they appear here?!"
Leviathan's huge and ugly body is like a monster descending from the abyss, and an evil aura emanates from it.
What is shocking is that its thick skin was only blown into pieces by the gunfire of several ship girls.
Several carrier-based aircraft hovered in the sky, constantly dropping cannonballs that caused violent explosions on the body of the giant beast, but they seemed to cause no damage to it at all.
"Attack with torpedoes and smoke grenades, and everyone retreats. This thing is beyond our ability to handle!"
Zhao Rui immediately took out the communicator from his waist and gave anxious orders to his ship girls.
Those huge and towering tentacles are like huge steel whips. Even a ship girl with a ship suit may be fatally injured if hit.
Sun Dewang became anxious when he heard this, and immediately grabbed Zhao Rui excitedly, his voice trembling:
"What do you mean, don't you want these four shipments?"
Zhao Rui threw his hand away, shook his shoulders and shouted:
"Are you stupid? What's more important, life or goods?"
"As far as I know, these Leviathans can only be driven away by the 'Holy Judgment' of the Teaching State."
"And without battleships or super-large-caliber cannons, it's impossible to compete with Leviathan. My fleet only has light cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers. I can't let them die!"
After saying that, Zhao Rui pulled Sun Dewang, who had despair written all over his face, and shouted in a deep voice:
"You immediately ask all the crew members to evacuate here in the diving escape boat. If you are late, everyone will escape..."
While the two were talking, the huge Leviathan raised all its huge tentacles high, as if blocking half of the sun from the sky.
In the shadow of this behemoth, both the freighter and the ship girl who opened the ship's suit were as small as ants.
The monster from the deep sea is like a demon at this moment, crushing into the ocean any mortal who dares to challenge it.
"Commander, run away!!!"
The anxious shouts of his girls came from the communicator. Zhao Rui looked desperately at the tentacles covering the sky, but sat limply on the ground and gave up on escaping.
In just a few seconds, he would be beaten to pieces by this Leviathan, which should not be here at all, using its tentacles, ships and people.
There's... no way to escape.
