"I saved it! I'm faster than it!"
"Good! Next time, try to make sure the AI doesn't even have a chance to resist."
“No problem, Admiral.” Xiao Zhai nodded vigorously.
"Move those tactical dolls to a remote location, and we'll take them back for research."
"Ok."
In this way, a crisis was easily resolved, and nearly three hundred tactical dolls changed hands silently, moving to remote suburbs according to new instructions. Fully equipped, they were clearly the kind of people no sane person would want to mess with. Wherever they went, even the surrounding gangs stopped fighting and watched this strangely styled army leave.
It was indeed very strange; their synchronized footsteps had a natural intimidating power, making people unconsciously categorize them as "not to be trifled with."
Since there are so many places to plunder, there's no need to challenge the real army. Let's quickly retreat.
Section 46: Richelieu launches a quick attack
Paradis Corporation headquarters, somewhere in Antarctica
"Our operations forces in South America suddenly lost contact."
"Can you confirm who did it?"
"Our troops were first bombed by a B-25, and then lost contact."
"Wait, a B-25? Is it the B-25 from World War II?"
"That's the one."
"Does the Brazilian army still have B-25s?"
"There is no record of the Brazilian military using the B-25, either now or in the past, in official records."
"That's outrageous! What kind of destructive power could an old WWII machine possibly have?"
"Judging from the photos sent back from the scene, our counterattack was ineffective."
"That's even more outrageous."
"Speaking of which, when the Federal Reserve's vaults were attacked, it was the old World War II-era Air Force that launched the first attack. Is it possible that it was the same group of people?"
"The likelihood is high."
"Who is this person? Why are they doing this?"
"We don't know. This force appeared suddenly, and we have no information to analyze about them."
"There are some, such as old equipment from World War II. Maybe we should go to a museum to investigate."
"Let's investigate secretly first. After all, we don't know their purpose yet, and whether it will hinder our plans."
"Agreed!" X7
World One, Island Base
“It’s a very advanced design, but the hardware analysis should be left to Yubari, she’s better at this than I am, or my sister could do it too.”
In the large workshop converted from a shipping container, Beizhai and Xiaozhai worked together to dismantle a tactical doll, but they didn't gain any key information from it, because none of the parts had any inscriptions, if "Made in Southern Jiangsu" could be considered an inscription.
The problem is that those are all standard parts that can be purchased on the international market in World Two. There is nothing on the key components that can be used to identify these humanoids.
"I'm not surprised that Yubari knows these things, but Bismarck knows them too?" Qin Shan was somewhat surprised.
“My sister is very good at mechanical manufacturing. We are both different, one specializing in hardware and the other in software. But my sister’s expertise is not limited to technology; she is also very good at administration.”
Qin Shan nodded, agreeing with Bei Zhai's words; after all, that was Bismarck.
How much of this can be reverse engineered?
Regardless, tactical dolls are all first- or second-tier extraordinary combatants and can still be manufactured. This can be seen from the fact that the mysterious force can produce three hundred tactical dolls. Even if they cannot be mass-produced, they can still form a considerable scale and complement their own ship girls. This is creating a loyal and reliable team of extraordinary beings.
To be honest, Qin Shan really wanted it.
But Bei Zhai immediately poured cold water on him.
"Admiral, the biggest problem here is not the engineering design, but the materials science. I suggest that it would be more realistic to just go to World Two and rob a humanoid manufacturing plant. Oh, if we go to America to rob it, that's called revolutionary financing."
"In that case, I can only ask the United States to make a voluntary contribution."
Qin Shan stretched his joints. He thought to himself, "The Western countries plundered the world for so long; it's time for them to give back to all of humanity."
Even if all of humanity in another world is still human, don't argue!
"Since the Admiral has made his decision, then not only must we seize the manufacturing plant... and secure funding for one, but also the material factories needed to manufacture the dolls, software programming, AI management, cloud servers, and... >>
"Stop, stop, stop! Why don't you just tell me to bring back the entire United States from World Two?"
Beizhai analyzed the situation carefully and then replied, "No, Admiral, we don't have that many people."
This is what really discourages Qin Shan. Even a dark factory needs at least a maintenance team, but he currently has less than ten people he can use.
System, system, can't you give me a few more ship girls?
"Let's talk about something more practical. Are these dolls even usable?"
Knowing he was short-handed, Qin Shan decisively abandoned his illusions. Of course, he couldn't stop working on things in World Two; he had to accelerate the process. He could let the equipment wait for people, but he couldn't let people wait for the equipment.
"No problem, I can make them behave."
Xiao Zhai raised his hand, and then the ten tactical dolls around him immediately stood up and began to do various versions of radio calisthenics.
The flexibility of this operation is absolutely amazing.
Wait a minute, doesn't that mean I can get a powerful AI from World Two, and then purchase some humanoid workers, so I can offload a lot of infrastructure work?
Speaking of which, Su Nan, from World No. 2, often does business with African countries, so things become simple.
In his office, Qin Shan compiled the information he had on hand and discovered a new source of trouble.
"Admiral, freshly baked snacks."
"Thank you, Le... Richelieu?"
Qin Shan looked up and met Lesserius's warm smile.
Sister Li is so beautiful (thumbs up).
"Several suitable new targets have been discovered in the main world (Earth), and Saratoga is a bit overwhelmed. Lexington went to help out, and I'm serving as the admiral's secretary ship for the day."
"Then it's hard work for you."
"How could that be? I was once the admiral's secretary ship. The admiral wouldn't have forgotten, would he?"
As Richelieu spoke, he raised his right hand, showing the wedding ring on his ring finger.
The 200% favorability rating proves that Qin Shan, this Lord of the Rings guy who can even wear chainmail, has never had a secretary ship for more than two months, except for Lexington.
Even a stay-at-home guy changes wives every three months, and you can't even last two months? You scumbag!
Qin Shan said, "I'm happy to do it, it's none of your business. The past is the past, and the present is the present. I have never voluntarily changed my secretary ship. I am a staunch supporter of Totsuka."
Every Kantai Collection player has their own favorite character, it's a matter of faith!
But Sister Richelieu is also very beautiful. The real Richelieu is amazing. She has a faint fragrance on her body, which doesn't smell like perfume. It's softer and more unforgettable.
Anyone who talks nonsense about estrogen should be dragged out and fucked immediately; ship girls don't need that kind of thing.
"How could that be? I remember it was two months," Qin Shan replied righteously.
"Yes, two months. Only Lexington's was two years. The longest other people's was no more than two months."
"Cough cough cough, because... therefore... that was... I'm sorry!"
Although you can do whatever you want when playing games, now that the game has become reality, these adorable ship girls have truly tied everything to Qin Shan. Both emotionally and logically, they should apologize for their willfulness during the game.
After all, for ship girls, the so-called game is a precious memory of fighting and growing together with the admiral.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt even more guilty.
“Admiral, there’s no need to apologize.” Richelieu sat down in Qin Shan’s lap and hugged him, saying softly, “Our lives began the moment we met you, Admiral. We were once weak, but we grew up step by step with your help. Without your past sacrifices, we wouldn’t be who we are today. So, whether it’s me or everyone else, we all really want to be with you, Admiral. We don’t want anything else, just being by your side is enough.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Richelieu gave him a kiss, and the atmosphere in the office instantly became intimate.
"Admiral, today is a good day, isn't it? Hold me tight."
Section 47: This is a war
As we all know, the workplace is like a battlefield, and the office is a battleground!
After all, this isn't just a project worth billions, but a massive undertaking worth billions. As long as conditions allow and soundproofing is in place, you can enjoy romance, espionage, martial arts, science fiction, metaphysics, and thriller here—there's bound to be something for you.
However, Qin Shan's office only contains simple action movies, so don't overthink it.
France truly lives up to its reputation as a romantic country, and its ship girls are equally romantic, daring in every way. As soon as they enter the battlefield, smoke fills the air and cannons roar, with each attack unleashing a barrage of fire, fully demonstrating the magnificent results that battleships can achieve after being empowered by extraordinary forces in modern naval warfare.
It was a truly exhilarating battle (I'm sure of it).
However, it must be said that the allure of romance is a graveyard for heroes. Qin Shan almost became addicted to the charm of the ship girls, but in the end, he overcame the desires deep in his genes with great willpower. After all, he couldn't do without the color palette game.
The reasons for the war, the ugly map (roar).
After a deep, mutually agreeable, exciting, and wonderful interaction with Richelieu, the two became noticeably closer. Richelieu's clinginess was undisguised, and he practically clung to Qin Shan.
"Something feels off," Xiao Zhai frowned.
"Something's not right?" Xiao Luo looked at Xiao Zhai with a puzzled expression.
"Something must have happened!" This is the deduction of the famous detective, Xiao Zhai.
"What is it?"
"It must be a very serious matter. I have found out the truth."
"Want some tasty snacks?" Rodney handed over a bag of steel bars without anyone noticing.
"Yes!" ×2
The two little ones' attention was successfully diverted.
"Looks like I need to hurry up too."
Rodney clenched his fist secretly; after all, he was also the admiral's married ship and couldn't fall behind.
"What a bunch of ugly worms."
Saratoga, disguised, walks the streets of New York City in the main world, except that she walks through the "slums" of New York.
The reason the word "slum" is in quotation marks is because the slums here are obviously much more luxurious than those in India. For one thing, the drug paraphernalia used by the locals is more luxurious than that used by the Indians, or rather, their opium dens are more modern.
All the great powers longed for the Qing Dynasty, and so they all became the Qing Dynasty.
In 2024, the United States had more than 2500 million direct drug users and as many as 3500 million casual drug users, which is equivalent to one in ten Americans being a drug addict.
India has a similar number of venomous insects to the United States, with 100 million venomous insects. And just like the lower half of the Indians' bodies, they are indiscriminate in their use of both meat and vegetables. As long as it can get them high, they will not let snake venom go unpunished. Although the quality is not as good as that of the United States, the range of values they can use is much greater.
Drugs have become the simplest way for countries with low human rights standards to eliminate useless populations.
After all, the average lifespan of drug addicts is only 36 years.
This completely avoids the pressure on society to bear the burden of sending out talent, which can be described as a "virtuous policy" that achieves multiple benefits.
Saratoga, a ninth-order transcendent being, not only works for the Rabbit family as the Fairy of Cloud Dreams, but also often plays the role of the Dragon of Desire, searching for suitable targets in America and witnessing countless tragedies that are ugly to the extreme.
To put it bluntly, the ruling class in this country has completely lost all sense of decency.
Lolita Island has been exposed, but it's a minor issue. The new Lolita Island is in the same place, with no changes to the facilities; it's just a change in management. Anyway, there are plenty of lackeys like Epstein. No one in America can boss the powerful around. Even if it's difficult to deal with you now, you can always arrange for someone to commit suicide by shooting you in the back fifteen times later.
This country has lost all justice, or rather, justice cannot remain in the United States.
They either left the United States or went to heaven.
Saratoga tried to help one or two of them, but it was no use. This systemic corruption had turned the whole of America into something like a subspace creature. Those trapped in this system could not leave, and those who broke away from it could hardly survive on their own. Moreover, there were dark capitalist tentacles stirring up trouble in the shadows, grinning as they pounced on anyone who dared to challenge them.
But hope has not disappeared. In fact, many vested interests within the American system have already lost faith in their own country. It's just that the current situation in the United States prevents them from doing anything for the time being. But if things really change drastically, they will definitely stand up and reshape the country.
As for how it will be reshaped, that's a matter of opinion, but it will definitely be somewhat restrained.
"The admiral is right. These insects have no right to occupy this land. They all deserve to die!"
Saratoga has completed Qin Shan's layout in the United States, and now it's time to reap the rewards. Those contractors chosen by the Dragon of Desire are like hidden mines buried within the United States. They will explode one after another, dismantling the current order in the United States as quickly as possible. In the chaos, everything will be reshuffled, and Qin Shan will assign new tasks to the United States.
For example, a Soviet that truly implemented a super-planned economic system was born on American soil.
I believe that exploiters all over the world would be terrified.
