Azur Lane: I took the graduation port area through time
Chapter 61 Refuting rumors at the dock (3300 words)
Lin Lan's yacht traveled upstream along the wide river. Along the way, Lin Lan also saw many ordinary people living here.
Most people looked at them with cautious eyes, and many fishermen only fished in the coastal sections and did not dare to go near the center of the river.
This is not at all like what a country from another world that has entered mechanical intelligence should look like, but more like the remote countryside that Lin Lan visited before on Blue Star.
"Without the port commander cleaning up the sirens nearby, the residents here are in such a miserable state."
Looking at the residents who were carefully demolishing the ruins of the past and fishing along the coast, Lin Lan felt sad.
Because the county seat is too far from the core city, communication rights are often in the hands of the Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce in the inner district of the county seat.
Signal towers in the county are generally built in the inner area, so people living in the outer areas of the county can naturally only rely on the information conveyed from the inner area to understand the situation in other areas of Oran.
After all, there are only a handful of people like Lin Lan who can clean up the sirens like fried fish along the way and make a special trip to these remote counties.
In a different world without satellite networks, it is not surprising that this situation occurs.
When Lin Lan came to this world, he read in a book that the United States of Oran had achieved network signal coverage in all counties before the Siren Disaster struck.
After most of the cities were destroyed by the sirens and the Candle Sea Chamber of Commerce came to power, the main way to spread information was taken over by the Chamber of Commerce and held in its own hands.
Only people living in cities and counties can continue to live an information-based life.
And those people in the outer areas of the county naturally gradually become out of touch with the times.
Lin Lan already understood one thing at that time.
The Zhuhai Chamber of Commerce wants a stable Oran, not a prosperous Oran.
Monopolizing information is undoubtedly the best way to control civilians.
Speaking of Oran, the country was once so prosperous because it relied on the convenience brought by science and technology and its powerful navy to conduct various trades with other countries.
But Oran also has its own rival country.
The Natlan Empire, across the ocean from the United States of Oran in the south, is the mortal enemy of the United States of Oran.
In a sense, the United States of Oran is the most similar and normal country to Blue Star.
As for other countries, Lin Lan, who traveled from Blue Star, was truly a foreign world that was completely unfamiliar to him.
An hour passed quickly. The number of fishing boats wandering on the shore gradually increased, and some normal buildings finally appeared on the shore.
"Commander, we are almost there."
Z23 looked ahead at the dock with many ships docked and said.
After adjusting his military cap and appearance, Lin Lan stood up from the sofa.
"Commander, I won't go in with you. I will release the carrier-based aircraft group here. If you need air assistance, you can call me at any time through the short-range communicator."
Weiser also stood up and said to Lin Lan.
As an aircraft carrier, she is naturally better at using carrier-based aircraft from the rear to control the entire battlefield and provide air assistance.
Lin Lan nodded and agreed to Weiser's proposal.
The capable girl with short red hair smiled slightly, and the fourth sister of the Hipper class jumped directly into the river and unfolded her ship suit.
The river passing through Lihu County is very wide, and because there are no people in the middle or on the other side of the river, Weser will not be noticed even if he unfolds his ship's equipment.
"Wow, what a handsome sister! What a handsome dragon!"
Seeing Weser unfurling his ship suit handsomely and leaving, Li Ke couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed.
"Riko, can you find your way home?"
Lin Lan smiled, looked at the little cat-eared lolita and asked.
"Well, I come to this pier often, but the bad guys who caught me before are also here..."
Hearing Li Ke's worries, Lin Lan chuckled:
"Don't worry, I want to see who dares to arrest you in front of me today."
With his status as a dignified naval commander here, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to come up and cause trouble.
Not to mention the scope of the commander's protection in his own port area, for other ordinary people, he is at the level of a patron saint who dare not offend.
The ship's main gun who followed the commander was not a vegetarian either.
After receiving Lin Lan's support, Li Ke was also encouraged and smiled happily:
"The commander is indeed a good person!"
After a while, the yacht slowly docked on the pier, and Lin Lan and his ship girls stepped off the yacht one after another, letting Li Ke walk in the middle.
There were dozens of residents of Lihu County on the pier who were dressed obviously worse than the citizens of Dongyun City.
Their eyes widened when they saw Rico following Lin Lan, who was wearing a white navy uniform.
"It's Siren Bane!" "But why is Siren Bane with the Commander?"
"Look at those beautiful girls, are they ship girls?" "They must be ship girls, and that man is definitely a commander, but he won't be like the previous commanders, and leave after only a few days, right?"
The residents of Lihu County were talking a lot, but Lin Lan led Li Ke through the crowd openly.
Although the people in Lihu County have more or less believed the rumors.
But due to their trust in the commander and fear of the ship girl's power, no one of them dared to step forward to stir up trouble, even though they all had surprise in their eyes.
"Dear compatriots in Lihu County, I am the port commander who just came here today to take office."
Lin Lan saw more and more people coming around after hearing the news, and knew it was time to refute the rumors first.
As he spoke loudly, people around him fell silent and looked at him.
"I know that the commander who came here before left here not long after, leaving you all living in fear of siren attacks."
"But, I want to prove one thing to you today, that is, I have enough power to protect you."
After Lin Lan finished speaking, he said to Mainz behind him:
"Have Weser send a group of carrier-based aircraft to fly low over us."
The efficiency of the Iron-Blooded Ship Girl is very efficient.
Within a few seconds of delivering the order in Mainz, seven or eight Iron-Blooded carrier-based aircraft roaring in the sky penetrated the clouds and appeared directly above everyone.
"It's a carrier-based aircraft! It's an aircraft carrier!"
"Great! She's really an aircraft carrier girl! We finally don't have to worry about those damn sirens coming!"
"Finally, finally! We can finally go fishing in the middle of the river! The remains of the buildings on the shore can be cleaned and rebuilt with confidence!"
The crowd at the dock looked up at the carrier-based aircraft flying in the sky and cheered excitedly.
Many older people even knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.
For ordinary people, the arrival of the aircraft carrier means that the Siren will no longer be able to invade the county as easily as before, which means it brings security.
Only when you live in fear every day can you know how valuable a safe life is.
More and more residents of Lihu County came running after seeing the carrier-based aircraft. When they heard the news of the arrival of the commander and the ship's wife, they all shouted happily.
Soon, hundreds of people gathered here, looking at Lin Lan and his party with respect and excitement in their eyes.
Lin Lan called Li Ke to him at this time and held it high in his hand.
"Eh? Eh?"
The cute little cat-eared loli was lifted up with a confused look on her face and became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Isn't that the child of Lao Li's family who was taken away?" "Why did the naval commander bring the siren with him?"
"Don't he know that the Liaozhou people will attract attacks from the sirens?" "How so? That's the commander who fights against the sirens. I've long said that those Liaozhou people must be innocent."
When the people around him saw Lin Lan's move, they had puzzled eyes and started talking again.
"Compatriots, I think you have all made a mistake."
Lin Lan looked around at the people around him. After they all calmed down, he paused and said slowly and loudly:
"Those are the Liaozhou people. They have never been the source of the siren's troubles. They are just like us and have always been a part of Oran."
After the words fell, everyone around him was stunned for a moment. A young man in his early twenties pretended to be brave and asked:
"But, Commander, the adults in the inner area of the county said before that the Liaozhou people attracted sirens to attack..."
"That's just a rumor! I was in Dongyun City yesterday and saw Liaozhou people filling the streets! There is no such statement anywhere else in the United States of Oran!"
Lin Lan's tone became more serious and loud.
"Someone must be here to sow discord between the Orans and the Liaozhou people! I will definitely go to the inner area today to find this guy out and give everyone an explanation!"
The people around him were completely stunned after hearing Lin Lan's confident words.
They all looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Only then did the residents of Lihu County’s outer districts realize that they might have been taken advantage of.
After all, their only channel for receiving news is from the inner districts of the county.
Before, it was precisely because there was no port commander that they were filled with complaints from the Sirens' attacks.
After the rumors emerged, they instinctively regarded these Liaozhou people as a punching bag to vent their pressure.
At this moment, after the real Navy Port Commander refuted the rumor in front of them, the rumor was undoubtedly self-defeating.
"How many stupid things have we done in the past few days..."
The people of Lihu County woke up from a dream and began to reflect on everything they had done to the innocent Liaozhou people in the past few days.
"Now is not the time to repent. Tell me where those Liaozhou people were taken. You should apologize to them properly instead of being in a daze here!"
Lin Lan knew that he had the situation under control, and these people would soon spread what he just said to other places in the outer area.
The top priority is to release all the Liaozhou people who were taken away and imprisoned.
"Commander, those people were taken to..."
At the same time, on the roof of a building not far away in the outer area of Lihu County.
A strong man in a yellow vest was crawling on the edge of the floor.
What he held in his hand was a large-caliber sniper rifle.
And the sniper scope on the gun was aimed at...
It was Li Ke, a cute black-haired cat-eared lolita with a confused expression who was holding high in her hands.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in order to prevent everyone from being attacked by sirens again... the source of the sirens' disaster must die..."
"Both the commander and the ship girl... they will give up here eventually. We still need to protect ourselves..."
The man's finger on the trigger trembled slightly, and there was a painful expression on his face that was condemned by his conscience.
He kept repeating these words silently in his mouth, as if he was comforting himself.
Finally, his eyes became determined and he made up his mind.
After taking a deep breath, his finger slowly pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
