Chapter 1, Pacific Governor's Office

Taking a banknote out of his pocket, the young man pointed to the pile of fish on the wooden counter and said, "If possible, please help me clean it up."

Yes, Aaron likes the ship girls, even if they are weak and unable to fight for humanity, he will still protect them: "Sister, you must not bully her in the future."

Grabbing the remote control from the glass table, Aaron turned on the television and casually switched to the international news channel. This was his habit; aside from reading, Aaron often kept an eye on significant events happening in the world, for only by maintaining a mind that keeps pace with the times can one keep up with the rhythm of this world

He turned on the lights in the living room, and in his mind, Aaron reviewed all the material for today's exam. Soon, he revealed a confident smile: "Perfect!"

Ga-

No one responded, and Aaron did not shy away from anything; he simply walked in like that

The pace of ocean expansion has been curtailed, and soon, the Pacific front will launch a comprehensive counteroffensive just like that on the Eurasian side. Clenching his fist slightly, Aaron made a silent decision: "If I can seize this opportunity, perhaps I too can..."

It was not until 6:30 PM that Aaron finished all his exams, and then he returned home with a weary body. As usual, there was no one at home, or rather, only his sister was staying in her room watching television and playing on the computer.

The boy named Aaron is a resident of the Governor's Office. This identity is exceedingly ordinary among the nearly 300,000 inhabitants of the Pacific Governor's Office. Moreover, compared to his peers who have been able to snuggle in their parents' embrace since childhood, Aaron is merely an orphan receiving relief funds from the Governor's Office

Gently closing the door, Aaron glanced at the time on his watch, which was still ample.

Meanwhile, behind the balcony on the second floor, a blonde girl parted a curtain and watched as Aaron gradually disappeared from view. Her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions, and only when she could no longer see him did she softly pray, "I hope you achieve good results, Aaron"

Without saying any more unnecessary words, Aaron simply took out the money, and then left the bookstore with the newly purchased books and groceries. After the young man left, the owner let out a deep sigh: "It really isn't easy for that child..."

Oh, I forgot to mention, he also has a full-blooded sister, but due to certain issues, the burden of this family has fallen on him

Aaron greeted the neighbors as he opened the wooden gate that was half the height of the yard

Having not received the money back from the uncle, the young man smiled slightly with gratitude and said, "You all have it tough too"

Well! Turning around, the young girl also knew that she should be happy now, after all, Aaron was very confident about today's exam: "Get some rest early, there is a practical assessment tomorrow"

Compared to little Aaron, my child is simply... sigh...

Of course, as the years go by, many people may feel that this dream is unattainable and give up. Some may even think that they are just ordinary people, destined not to become an admiral. However, for Aaron today, there is actually no difference between either perspective, because today, Aaron will tell these people that even those of ordinary background can still become an admiral through their own efforts

I bought your favorite fish. After picking up the blanket from the floor and covering the girl with it, Aaron gently stepped back to the door and said softly: "I have two exams today, so I won't be back for lunch. I will prepare the fish and keep it in the warming oven, don't forget to unplug it. Well... good night"

It is Aaron! The boss asked, "What is the name of that book?"

You will soon become an admiral, yet you are still working so hard. Aaron will surely become an extraordinary person in the future!

Yes, that condition is the material foundation, or to put it more simply, it is money

Everything is for today

"Boss," Aaron pointed to a shelf and asked, "Are there any of the books that were displayed here last time still left?"

"Don't treat what I said like it's about a little pet." The blonde girl chuckled softly, raised her hand, and gently stroked Aaron's head, then nostalgically remarked, "Time flies so quickly; in the blink of an eye, you've reached the age where you can become an admiral."

"Don't worry, sister, I have saved a lot of money." Turning his head, Aaron gave the blonde girl a reassuring smile: "Besides, there are only a few famous ship girls from the sub-world that emerge from the governor's shipyard each year. Even if it doesn't happen to be my turn, that's quite normal, isn't it?"

Snap

Ignoring the expression of the blonde girl who seemed hesitant to speak, Aaron smiled and said, "Even if she is just an ordinary ship girl, or even one that does not exist at all in the history of the sub-world, I will still take care of her with great care"

The sea breeze sweeps over the rusted containers in the port, mingling with a hint of saltiness, painting the tidy streets with the unique scent of spring. This is the Pacific Governor's Office, the most central area of the Pacific front, and also the territory of the greatest humanity in this maritime region

Are you going out to buy groceries so early?

A few rays of sunlight streamed into the bedroom, casting light on the bedding that had fallen onto the floor. Beside it, a golden-haired girl, dressed only in a snow-white shirt, lazily turned over, completely oblivious to her exposed figure. She tightly clutched a pillow, as if Aaron, standing behind her, did not exist at all.

After observing for a while, Aaron gained a deeper understanding of the current situation

Boss, give me a piece of steel fish

This ... ...

Then, good night

The examination is divided into two sessions, with one session in the morning, followed by a break of one and a half hours, and then the strategy exercise in the afternoon

Oh, isn't this Aaron? You are here again today to buy fish for your sister. The uncle with the white headscarf skillfully gutted the fish, quickly cleaned it, and placed it into the boy's basket, along with a portion of the change: "We are all old acquaintances, no need to give so much!"

After ten years of hard work, balancing a job while self-studying through purchased books

Gabang!

Thank you

On the Importance of the Five Types of Tactical Changes to the Situation of the Battle

Although the governor's mansion is large, Aaron's actual activity area is only near District 11. Over the course of ten years, in this current era, even without blood relations, neighbors feel like family. Thus, even though Aaron is an orphan, he has never experienced the taste of indifference.

The Governor's Office is established on a vast island, which has a total of 16 ports, each equipped with checkpoints and their own shipyards. The island boasts a suitable environment and unique natural scenery, complemented by a distinctive tropical climate, resulting in an abundance of marine flora and fauna. Given this alone, in an era where vast areas of land have submerged and the oceans dominate the world, the island protected by the Pacific Governor's Office holds extraordinary significance.

The snow-white seagull flaps its wings, leisurely resting on a suspended tarpaulin, and beneath its feet, separated by the fabric, lies a pile of seafood resembling small mountains. This is the market of Port 11, where the status of the Pacific Governor's Office has led to an increase in foot traffic, resulting in a vast customer market. Even if it is merely one-sixteenth of a market, at this moment, due to the frenzied purchasing by customers, the supply of goods has experienced a disruption.

Sister, I am back

Push open the door, place the dishes in the refrigerator, then quickly run up the stairs, and knock twice on the door of a certain room: "Sister?"

Does Aaron have a desired ship girl

Admiral is the most important profession in this world, and becoming an admiral has become the childhood dream of almost everyone

"Aaron." At that moment, a gentle female voice sounded behind him. Turning around, he saw a blonde girl in a snow-white nightgown: "How did the exam go? Do you feel confident?"

The Pacific Governor's Office is vast and sparsely populated. On this expansive island, people are valued far more than land, especially in this era of significant population decline. All policies are undergoing changes aimed at increasing the population. Therefore, even orphans like Aaron can receive a two-story house with a yard.

Ah, so I will work hard to buy more of the food you like to eat, Sister!

This is a spacious bedroom, directly opposite the main door is a row of glass doors, outside there is a balcony, which is simply covered by curtains

One should not speak too boastfully, and Aaron naturally understood: "It's fine, it should be okay."

Standing in front of the examination hall, Aaron placed the newly purchased books into his bag: "With this, I will have mastered all the books related to the admiral's examination, thoroughly!"

Walking through the campus of the Admiral Academy, Aaron observed the students dressed in naval uniforms, each displaying a different expression. Unlike them, he had no memories tied to this place. For Aaron, the Admiral Academy was merely an examination venue, devoid of any additional significance.

"Good night, sister." Watching the blonde girl disappear at the end of the hallway, Aaron lay back on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes: "I wonder what my ship girl will be like..."

In this world, most ship girls are unique, and at the Pacific Governorate, every admiral who passes the examination can apply for an initial ship girl from the dock based on their results. Theoretically, only outstanding admirals can earn the favor of excellent ship girls; however, more significantly, this favor is based on a very important condition.

Returning from the market, Aaron walked into a bookstore

As long as she does not compete with me for the food of the steel fish

Oh, oh, that should be it, and also, wait a moment. From the storage library, the owner took out a packaged book and handed it to Aaron: "20.08 yuan, I'll round it down to 20 for you"

He went downstairs and took the steel fish out of the refrigerator. Soon, Aaron prepared a dish of "pan-fried steel fish" and "steel fish balls." After placing them in the warming oven, he finally shouldered his bag and headed towards the examination hall
