"This heavy cruiser, designed by Birmingham Rail Transport and Rolling Stock in conjunction with Rolls-Royce, was designed with the famous Merlin engine, later renamed the Meteor engine, which could provide a full 600 hp of power (*Note 1)."

"Uh-huh~"

The girl looked at the three people in the volleyball department whose eyes were shining, and couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

"Thanks to this engine, the Cromwell cruiser weighed only 27.5 tons and was arguably one of the fastest vehicles of World War II, capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 mph (64 km/h), although the Models IV to VIII limited their speeds to 32 mph (51 km/h) to reduce breakdowns (*same note 1), but before I got the vehicle, I greeted Darjeeling and asked her to pick a Type III for us. Therefore, the maneuverability of this tank can be said to be very good. ”

"In terms of armor, the front of the tank is 76mm thick vertical armor (*same note 1), which is difficult to defend against attacks from the opponent, so it is necessary to keep moving at all times, which is the biggest protection of this tank."

Cromwell's frontal armor is indeed 76mm, well, our game is balanced.

"Cromwell Models I to III used QF6-pdr guns, while Type IV, V and VII used QF75 guns, and Type VI and VIII used 95 mm

Howitzer howitzer (*same as Note 1). It is no surprise that our vehicle uses the QF6-pdr, which is the deepest of the three guns, capable of penetrating 81mm of armor arranged at a normal angle of 30° at a distance of 500 yards (457.2m), and most importantly, it can fire APDS, capable of penetrating 177mm thick armor at a distance of 100m (*Note 3), which is strong enough to penetrate Sandas's heavy vehicles at a very close range. ”

"Although I don't understand very well, in short, our new tank has great mobility and firepower!"

The girl looked at Noriko Isobe with an unaware expression, and a strong sense of frustration suddenly appeared.

"Uh-huh...... Suffice it to say, so your mission is to scout and attack enemy vehicles at critical moments. ”

"It's very simple~" Shinobu Kawanishi said.

"Let's go and try to operate the tank first, it's all in the manual."

"Oh!" ””

After receiving the girl's order, the three members of the volleyball club also couldn't wait to rush into the chariot.

"Ahem...... Actually, there is one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Noriko Isobe, who was opening the hatch, turned around and tilted her head at the girl.

"Cromwell's standard configuration is five people, even if you remove the communication soldiers, it will take four, if you can't get it together, it will always affect the combat power, if you can, you'd better bring one more person in."

"Understood~" Noriko Isobe nodded with a smile. "Actually, there are a lot of kids in our volleyball club who want to join the armor department, but they're just a little shy."

"That's for the best." The girl also smiled, and then continued: "If there is nothing to do, I will also go to training, if you have any questions, you can call me directly~"

"Well, thank you~"

---------------I'm the dividing line---------------

"What's the matter, aren't you going to train?"

On the way to her chariot, the girl met Miho and her group, but at this time, the anglerfish group was not training, but drinking tea on the side.

"Woo~, Youhuali didn't come, and we don't want to leave her alone to train."

As soon as Saori finished speaking, Yuko next to the girl opened her mouth in surprise.

"Huh? Didn't Senior Sister Kawashima just say that all the staff were here? ”

"Ahaha......" Miho smiled wryly.

Seeing Miho's appearance, Yuko suddenly felt as if she understood something.

(Is such a captain really okay?) ）

"By the way, have you seen Yuhanari? She didn't even seem to be at school today. ”

Hua looked at the girls and asked worriedly.

Does the girl know? That's for sure.,Youhua went to Sandas to make a book...... Ahem, I mean, I'm going to scout the enemy, but judging by the time, it's time for Yuhanari to return to the academy ship.

Let it be, the girl naturally won't tell Miho and a few people......

"No......" the girl shook her head slightly. If you're so worried about Akiyama-san, go to Akiyama-san's house and take a look, and I'll help you take care of it, the president. ”

"Huh? May I? ”

The girl nodded at Saori, and then said with a smile: "It's no problem, you guys go quickly~"

"Then, Miho, let's go~"

After Saori finished speaking, she grabbed Miho's hand and rushed out of the warehouse.

"Eh, eh, eh?"

"Thank you very much."

Compared to Saori, Hua first saluted the girl, and then turned to catch up with Saori and Miho.

As the three of them gradually moved away, the girl turned around and looked at Moe and Yuko behind her.

"Okay~, we're going to train too."

---------------I'm the dividing line---------------

On the way to the chariot, Yuko suddenly spoke, as if she had thought of something.

"That's right...... Hazu-chan, are we still looking for a car commander? ”

"That's true...... the girl patted her head. I almost forgot if you didn't say it. ”

"Yu-sama, what kind of commander do you want to find?" The cute on the side tilted his head.

"Hmm......" The girl thought for a moment, and then continued: "The commander is the soul of the entire crew, and he is the most difficult member to train, after all, command ability can only be accumulated by experience. ”

"Yu-chan......, you can't find the kind of commander you said in Daxi, after all, I don't know how many years the battle lane has been interrupted."

"I know that too......" the girl paused, then continued, "so I'll just settle down and find a girl with better eyesight." I'll be in command of the chariot, and she'll just be in charge of looking around. ”

The girl has such a useful thing as the Eagle Eye, and it would be a waste not to command the chariot, if it weren't for the fact that the undetected enemy wouldn't be shown in the Eagle Eye perspective, the girl really wouldn't even need a commander.

"Hmm...... Is it much easier to find that way? Yuko nodded.

"So......, how about I be your commander?"

Just then, a voice came in through the door......
