Admiral Middle Age

"This..." The situation is known.

But whether or not to make Santiago manifest the hull, Peace Ark felt that it was better to leave this issue to the most powerful manager around him: "Admiral, what do you think?"

"I see? What am I looking at... Oh, you are talking about the matter of San Diego's embodiment of the hull." Originally, he watched the video with relish, but inside, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, Chicheng deliberately stood on the deck, Hold a tablet and lift it up to show off around, showing the actual situation around you completely in front of others for everyone to see.

...Well, there are indeed quite a lot of boats.

Although it can't reach the level of airtightness of the inner species, there is no problem at all with the standard of hearing the sound of chickens and dogs, which makes everyone who sees it can't help but "amazing": "There are so many. "

"Well, that's all." The chatter was also happy, and the delay was not too serious, so Chicheng switched the communication system to data communication again - also in order not to increase the burden on the admiral, When possible, Peace Ark suggests: It is better for everyone to put some less important contacts on the data link.

At least in the recent period of time - after all, Lin Jianguo had just been in a coma a few times before, so he still needs to recover.

However, if the data network is used, it only consumes some electric energy and machine depreciation fees, which can be repaired or replaced directly-and the admiral, that is, Lin Jianguo, has not yet found a way to repair or replace it.

So Lin Jianguo is very relaxed at the moment, huddling beside the Peace Ark, watching the fun with great interest.

The sudden question from Peace Ark stunned Lin Jianguo: "Well, I'm not a soldier, and it's up to you to make up your mind about these matters in combat."

After thinking about it, I added another sentence: "I believe you will take good care of your sisters!"

Yes, it is like that.

Professional things are left to professional people.

Especially when it comes to issues that are related to other people's lives, Lin Jianguo is very self-aware.

So he nodded affirmatively after speaking, saying: This matter is really not suitable for me to make up my own mind.

"Here, Admiral, you don't have to be so careful, it's just that there is no danger at all in the form of a hull." Regarding the cautious attitude shown by the admiral, Peace Ark felt a little ironic while applauding the admiral's cautious attitude.

Inside, Chicheng yelled directly: "Why don't you be so timid, admiral, you are so careful, but you have to worry that others will say you have no manliness."

"Chicheng!" This is really too shameless.

"It's okay, let's just say it, it's not a big deal." Having passed the age of that kind of emotional conflict, coupled with the unforgettable experience before, Lin Jianguo directly lost feeling for such words, Instead, he directly advised and reprimanded Chicheng's Peace Ark with a smile: "Anyway, as long as you are all safe and sound."

……

Looking at the honest man with a smile on his face, Peace Ark and Chicheng curled their lips and rolled their eyes at the same time.

But what is the specific feeling in each other's heart, but it is not clear for a while: "Then, admiral, how is the situation of your internal resources? If we let Santiago go over and manifest the ship If it’s body, is the amount enough for her?”

Originally, he didn't intend to let Santiago manifest the hull, but after the admiral's statement, Chicheng suddenly felt: It seems that it is not unacceptable to let Santiago manifest the hull.

On the contrary, after Santiago manifested the hull, it should be a good thing for the admiral:

Well, Santiago can also go directly to the admiral to manifest the hull. In this way, it can solve the problem that she may expose the new weapons and equipment in the fleet when she manifests the hull.

Moreover, it can directly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the admiral's inner side, so that the admiral's inner side has a stronger execution ability in terms of safety factor.

that is it!

It was also possible to say such a suggestion in a casual manner, and then obtain the agreement of the Peace Ark and the others.

"Well, our resources here..." Originally, I thought that if possible, I would ask Chicheng to follow her, and while accompanying Santiago, she would also deliver the materials for her hull.

After all, after the war inside, there should be no shortage of supplies.

After being reminded now, Peace Ark suddenly discovered an abnormality that hadn't been noticed before: "The number of our deep sea here is really not much!"

Although there is also the possibility that the previous battle consumed the "reserve" of the nearby deep sea, resulting in a sharp drop in the number of surrounding deep seas, but this number is the same as the number of deep seas encountered in the process of escorting Akagi. Compared with , it is also a lot less.

This seems a bit abnormal.

Anyway, according to the information that has been inquired before, at least, it seems that there is no precedent for such a drastic decline in the number of deep seas after the World War - the deep seas that do not know where they come from can always quickly fill up the gaps that appear.

Even, because the contact method of the principle is unknown in the deep sea, some deep sea people gathered in the deep sea due to the appearance of the deep sea boss will actually make the number of the surrounding deep sea denser than before.

It's just that after the boss in the deep sea 'passes away', they will wander around again with nothing to do.

However, after leaving the previous battlefield and forming an independent team.

Although it has not undergone rigorous statistical statistics, after being reminded, the Peace Ark still found that the number of deep seas in this sea area is still much smaller than the density of deep seas in some sea areas it has passed through. Some inside, but within the second line of human defense.

Even in such a place, the number of deep seas in this sea area is much more than that in this sea area: "Lexington has been running outside every day these days, but the number of deep seas he faces every day is indeed too much. Anyway , Her material collection speed has not reached full capacity in the past few days. The specific reason is not clear, but I am also preparing to inquire about it. And I have a general idea."

The train of thought mentioned by the Peace Ark is Tirpitz who is still sleeping soundly on it.

As a local householder who has stayed here for an unknown amount of time, Peace Ark reckons that she should, at least probably, know the reason for the low number of deep seas nearby.

It's just that when resources are needed urgently, it's a bit difficult.

"Oh, what should we do? We have quite a lot of resources here. Although most of them are allocated to sister Xiao Zhu to build her hull, but as far as her consumption is concerned, it is enough to save a little. Enough for Santiago to manifest the hull." Apparently, Chicheng also thought of this matter, and felt a little worried.

Although there is a bit of suspicion of contempt for Santiago, but to be honest, the situation here is: there are supplies, but there is no way to use the supplies safely, or to transport the supplies safely to the Peace Ark and the others. There is no one left.

In other words, there is no ship: the fleet is still here, except for myself and Zhu August, most of the others do not have a concrete hull, including Veneto and Santiago in the form of a ship girl, and then Plus two submarine motherships, Yi-400 and Yi-401.

The only other one who still has the ability to transport materials is the eldest sister, Shi Linyao.

But she is too busy helping Zhu Bayue to build the power system, so she doesn't have the time and energy to make such a trip: "I'm sure I can't leave here, and the eldest sister doesn't have time... Otherwise, let's see Let's see who can help me."

"No," the one who hurriedly jumped out to refuse this time was actually Santiago who was going to manifest the hull this time.

When Xiao Hongmao leaned in front of the camera to talk, he had a distressed expression on his small face: "We can't ask others for help!"

"Why?" This time, as expected, it was England, the lifelong enemy of Santiago, who jumped out, pointing at Santiago in the camera with an angry look on his face, his little face flushed red: "You Said, clearly you don’t want to manifest the hull, you just want to escape, you are a deserter.”

"I'm not a deserter!" When such a big hat was put on, Santiago immediately jumped up, and then saw the little red hair approaching the face in front of the video head, and he couldn't see it directly, but he saw it , just a huge 'bloody mouth' that occupies the entire field of vision and extends beyond: "You are talking nonsense, I am not a deserter, I am not trying to escape, I am the Bald Eagle hero battleship, the light cruiser San Diego, I Never a deserter!"

Well, now, even my own name has been reported, this is to gamble my reputation for the rest of my life, and I will also have a fight with England: "England, don't talk nonsense."

At this time, it is definitely necessary to reprimand the little golden retriever who speaks unscrupulously, to comfort Santiago's wounded heart, and then find a way to calm this matter down: "Everyone is sisters, you say Santiago like this, How can you treat her as your sister? Don't you know, as a soldier, especially a navy, or a navy with its own glorious history, when you hear this, what kind of feeling will you feel in your heart? How do you feel? You are directly stabbing someone in the heart, hurry up and apologize to Santiago."

"I..." In fact, the moment I said it, the moment I saw Santiago's anxious red face, and saw her little tongue exposed in the video, England knew that he was the one to handle this matter. wrong.

Now, even the admiral stood up and reprimanded himself, speaking for Santiago, England's small mouth deflated, and immediately there were big tears, which began to roll down: "Yes, I'm sorry, I...I just...wow..."

This little girl.

Rolling his eyes with some anxiety, he sighed secretly. Lin Jianguo also felt a little numb about the current situation: First of all, it is fortunate that the two involved are both ship girls, and they both have a whole ship. The mysterious presence of the ship's history and lore, despite being a destroyer, isn't really the childish little girl it's shown to be.

Therefore, after realizing his mistake, England was very straightforward and sincerely apologized to Santiago.

Now, here is the trouble: Both are ship girls, both of whom can complete deep-sea battles alone, and can fight bayonets with their opponents on the battlefield full of artillery fire.

So, just considering their independence, now, there are two little ones who look like little girls and seem to have the same character as little girls, one is performing tasks outside, and the other is in another 'branch' Inside, not by my side.

Ordinarily, the children were crying, and next, they should hug them in their arms and coax them well, and then help them wipe their tears or something.

However, now that the two little guys are not around, this... If you want to comfort me, it is really beyond reach: "Don't cry, don't cry, everyone is a famous battleship with a name and surname, this is like a little Crying and crying like a child, what a shame, ah, now that England has apologized, and the gift has been paid, so don’t be angry at Santiago. Well, well, Santiago is a lot, so if you don’t get angry, you won’t be angry Well, then, let’s talk about it again, what is the reason for what you said before, not letting others help? I believe that if you can say this, it must be because of your own reasons, your own reasons, So, is it convenient for us to listen to this reason, and then see if there is any way to solve it."

"After all, the three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang. If everyone brainstorms, maybe we can find a solution." Well, it seems that the leader of the factory said so back then.

At the beginning, it sounded quite exciting.

It's just that after a period of time, after seeing some good-sounding things, they are actually just some clichés, some good-sounding words for the stunned youths of superiors or subordinates, and when he heard these again, Lin Jianguo showed a "kindness" on his face. 's smile, sitting there is like a statue - after all, whose enthusiasm, after encountering a few basins of cold water, what is left is wet carbon that cannot be ignited.

Unexpectedly, it was my turn now, and it was really my turn to say this set of words.

It's just that I hope I can really pay attention to the opinions given by the children, and then tell them my choice?If you tell them all the reasons for your choice, they probably will understand.

Well, Lin Jianguo secretly made up his mind.

"I...I..." Santiago still had some lingering anger.

But the admiral has already given a solution, and England has already apologized, if she persists, it will be her fault.

So she tried her best to calm herself down, tried her best to recall the previous thought, and then said it to everyone: "I think if we ask someone to help, we must not just ask them to help for no reason. But I really don’t give them anything.”

Seeing everyone looking at the camera without saying a word, even England stopped crying and looked at himself seriously, Santiago finally calmed down: "And we can find help now, in fact, that is There are only two inside."

What Santiago said was Dafeng's admiral Zheng Zhiyuan and fat admiral Adelaida.

I haven't been in this world for a long time, and I don't know many people (although the words of the old village chief and the others are not small, but facing the current situation, they can't help at all. ), so, as Santiago said, the people who can find help now are actually the two inside: "But the two of them..."

Frowning, Xiao Hongmao curled her lips, with a look I didn't want to say: "I know too much about our details. If we ask them for help, they won't ask us for money, and they won't ask us for money." Resources."

Having said that, everyone understands a little bit.

According to Santiago,

They helped,

but won't ask for money,

It will not ask for resources,

That sounds like a good thing.

But no one would think so.

Ask someone for help, when the other party doesn't want money or supplies... Not to mention other things, Lin Jianguo is not young, and in his years of experience and knowledge, there are already many rumors and examples to educate him. Look at him: cheap ones, although not necessarily good ones, but free ones, but most of them are very expensive.

Of course, such a thing is possible if one can earn cheaply with a thick skin.

But if there is no such a thick-skinned word: free, it is not something that can be easily taken away.

Even, there are some better ones, after the final calculation, I found out that some of them are marked as free, and in the end, they are more expensive than the clearly marked ones.

After all, favors are priceless!

Of course, if it's just a daily human relationship,

Those who took it from others will be returned to them in proportion at that time, but there is nothing to make people sleep and eat.

However, if the target of the other party is not the banknotes and materials used as a substitute for transactions...then in the fleet, apart from the money and materials used as a substitute for ordinary transactions, there are things that can be remembered...

"They have always been thinking about our good things." Santiago's expression became angry again.

Now that the matter has come to this point...everyone understands what Santiago said about the other party's goal.

It's just that if you use the one-time transportation fee to ask for the fleet's equipment...it's not easy to handle.

If people are rushing to help you, and the purpose is for your good things, then you still have some opportunities to refuse.

But if you are in a hurry to ask others for help... Although it is derogatory to say that it is a derogatory term to add insult to injury and take advantage of others' danger, but when you want to ask others for help, the standard of price you pay is often according to This standard comes from it—it’s like the tutoring classes held by teachers in private. If you don’t completely give up the treatment and think that the child will not get better if he learns again, how many people will have the courage to refuse or report it? .

Knowing the consequences of doing so, the price is the future of the child—unless you really think that the child is here to collect debts in this life, and then treat him or her as an enemy...

Of course, there are quite a few people who have other mentality to report troublesome things. After all, those who are in the same company are enemies.

"That...isn't it." However, regarding the question raised by Santiago,

Akagi said that he had something to say:

She feels that Santiago's thinking is very wrong, and it will even affect the development of the fleet: "I admit that there are still many good things in our fleet, especially with the eldest sister Next, now we use a lot of things, which are much better than those used by other ship girls..."

Everyone rolled their eyes together.

"Okay, ok, that, I was wrong, can't I be wrong!" Chicheng's desire to survive is still very strong, and it can be seen from everyone's expressions that he has committed public anger.

She immediately raised her hands and admitted her mistake: "Our things are very good, they are very powerful, and they can completely crush the equipment of all the ship girls outside and inside, and they crush them without leaving a piece of armor. Is it okay to say that? ?”

"Forget it, this, it's not as good as it is." Chicheng's mischievous expression made Lin Jianguo feel a little funny.

Moreover, at such a time, the only one who can come out to make things right is him, the aloof admiral: "Don't be angry, everyone, I think I understand what Chi Cheng wants to say. "

"Yeah, yes, yes, admiral, he is the admiral, I haven't finished my words yet, he can understand what I want to say, he really deserves to be the admiral!" Lin Jianguo, who was talking, raised his two thumbs up high, and Chicheng was not stingy with his compliments: "Just like Admiral Jun said, our fleet has a lot of good things, and even our good things will be quoted. Others are jealous."

"But just by helping us with a transportation mission, they want to take away our most advanced things. I think those people we know, no one would think so." The pictures of all the ship girls flashed one by one, Chicheng wanted to confirm his words, everyone listened to him: "If it is the two who really know our details, they should not dare to think so."

Peaceful Ark nodded, then turned around and looked at Lin Jianguo beside him: "Admiral, do you think what Chicheng said makes sense?"

"Well, there must be a reason." Lin Jianguo also understood what Chicheng meant, and roughly understood what she wanted to say: "And if someone really thinks this way, it is completely a one-time transaction. , and then we can ignore them any more.”

"If you suffer a loss, you only suffer once, and it won't shake our foundation."

"However, if we use this method to get to know a person and prevent him from causing us trouble in future battles, it will not be considered a disadvantage." Lin Jianguo looked back at the pretty face of the Peace Ark, a little proud.

It's just that what he waited for came, but Heping Ark winked with a 'praise' smile: "Yes, Admiral, your brain is not too stupid."
