Chapter Twenty-Six: Beginning Soon
Hearing that when the ship girls reach level ninety-nine, they will be able to completely control their own power, and it is possible to marry humans, Luke found some records about this from the memories of his predecessors.
But now Fusang has just touched the edge of the first stage, and level 99 is still a very distant thing, it is said that some admirals have not been able to see their own ship mother reach level 99 in their lives, of course, this may be due to the fact that he did not have the opportunity to let his own ship mother fully exercise.
Ah, when will the days of being a porter all day long pass? Luke was carrying a large box of sunscreen, and there were a lot of clothes and snacks bought by Lian and Agano on his body, it was a failed decision to promise these two guys to accompany them shopping, it seems that no matter how old or young they are, they must not underestimate the combat effectiveness of these guys who are women!
In the evening, a few people found a place to stay in a hotel near the port, which usually did not have much business, and there were not many people who would come to these places to stay, and if it were not for the fact that the island had been giving them subsidies, maybe no one would have wanted to do this business.
After all, the people who usually come to stay are the little admirals who return to Hong Kong, and there are very few people who come at other times, but fortunately Luke and the others came back a little earlier, otherwise there might be no place to live at night.
They were followed by an admiral who had returned from the forward position like them, and the last few rooms were booked by Luke, and the guy was disappointed to take his ship's wife to find a place to stay.
Naturally, it was a good night's rest, and tomorrow was the day the exercise began, and this large-scale exercise was really hasty, but Luke could already feel the tension that hung over the island of the Governor's Palace.
Even the civilians on the street began to get nervous, after all, summer is the most dangerous time of the year, and a large number of deep sea began to attack the range of human activity, and if you were unlucky, you would be affected by the attack of the deep sea.
Although there are many towns and guards on the big island here, and the scale is relatively large, there are still some residents who have been raided by the deep sea because they are relatively close to the sea, and this casualty figure exists every year, because the coastline is relatively long, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
The next morning, Luke, who got up from the bed, immediately felt the difference, almost all the eyes walking on the street were full of ship girls, and many admirals got up quite early, and in this hotel Luke saw at least three admirals who came out of the room with their own ship wives.
But do these guys live with the ship girls at night? How did they all come out of one room? Is this a convention or something?
Do these guys really have to do it? Aren't you afraid that the ship girls will kill them with a natural reaction? You must know that the ship girl who has reached the first stage of the level is not able to control her strength well, and if she is not careful, she will knock her own admiral into the air, or the elementary school students will knock the admiral with a head hammer and vomit blood.
Of course, it is unlikely that this will happen to Luke here, and now the strength of Ripple and Agano is not as strong as his own, and even Fuso, who is a battleship, is ashamed of Luke's completely non-human physique.
"Check if there is any problem with the ship's equipment, check it carefully, don't have any emergency when you want to open the gun, in that case, don't blame me for not telling you in advance, after you go back, wipe the gun for a month, and then the maintenance of the ship's equipment will be done by one person." Luke looked at the ship's uniforms on Agano and reminded them before leaving.
"Huh! How so! The owner's heart is too bad! Hearing Luke say this, Lian had no choice but to take off the ship's suit on his body and carefully check it again, and the same was true of Agano next to him, Lilian heard Luke say this on the side, and also asked Dian to check it carefully and confirmed that there was no problem, and Luke and the others set off.
This exercise was only conducted in the waters near the port of the Governor's Palace, so it would not leave far, and all the admirals and shipwives had to gather at the port in advance, and then take the boat prepared by the Governor's Palace to watch the exercise.
Fortunately, it was not far in the first place, and after a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the port of the Governor's Palace, and it was said that they were originally in the port, but one side was civilian and the other was military.
Their little admiral's cargo ships were actually classified as civilian ships, and they didn't even have the qualifications to berth in the military port here, which is really a cruel idea to think about, but after all, this side is still responsible for protecting the security of this area, and it will definitely be very inconvenient for these ragged cargo ships to come and go here, right?
After all the admirals gathered in a clearing in the port, Luke found that there seemed to be a lot of small admirals like him, and it seemed that there could be nearly a hundred people, and everyone was followed by at least two ship girls, of course, Lilian was not counted as a person who only had electricity, and here she seemed to be the most shabby, followed by an electricity.
Nearly a hundred admirals, in addition to the two or three hundred ship girls team, it is really hard to imagine that so many ship girls, every year is just enough to resist the attack of the deep sea, and there are not many admirals who can pull up a powerful fleet and expand outward.
There are naturally some of the same ship girls among the hundreds of ship girls, but most of them seem to be used to this kind of scene, and it is not so unusual to see another 'self' who is exactly the same as themselves, after all, in the eyes of most admirals, they are just weapons used to defend against the deep sea.
Of course, Luke naturally doesn't think so, in his opinion, these ship girls are just ordinary girls, at most, they are more able to use ship suits than others, and they have some special abilities on their bodies that can defend against deep-sea attacks.
In the world he crossed before, there was no shortage of guys like this at all, and there were outrageously strong guys almost everywhere, if he wasn't lucky enough to mess around with a big guy, it would still be a big question whether he could survive until the day he crossed over.
"That's it! Listen to me now, because of the large number of people, I will now roughly divide you into four groups and start the exercise in the four surrounding areas, and now I will give you this plan of action, and read it carefully after you get it. The Governor stood on a makeshift platform, or rather a pile of crates, and picked up a megaphone and shouted to the admirals below.
At the same time, a dozen shipwives behind him began to hold a large stack of papers and distribute them to Luke and the little admirals.
"Well, also, because of the limited time, each fleet can only fight once, because it's just a drill, don't care too much, it's enough to let the ship girls get the exercise they deserve." The Governor pressed the brim of his hat and warned a kind of admiral.
Although all the admirals are selected through layers of selection, there are still some guys who are not very reliable, and there will always be cases where the brain is hot and does something stupid, so it is better for him to remind him in advance. "Okay, now there are not enough admirals to get acquainted with other admirals."
Although most of them are minor admirals, this time there are still four large town guards who have taken the time to participate in this exercise, and if they are particularly unlucky, they will be drawn to conduct a drill with them, right? Most of the ship girls in the large town guard mansion have already entered the first stage, which is really a bit too strong for them as little admirals.
Because the group had already been booked in advance, it didn't take long for Luke and Lillian to quickly find the admiral they had assigned to work with this time, but the first impression was really home.
"Huh? Are you two new to my team? Someone with his nostrils turned to the sky gave him a disdainful look at Luke and Lillian, and then he looked behind them, and when he saw that the two of them were just followed by two destroyers and a light cruiser, the contempt in his eyes was about to jump out.
Luke suddenly felt a bruise on his head, and he almost didn't directly pull out his gun and destroy this stinky fart.
"Hmph, newcomer, just let your ship's mother follow my ship's mother when the time comes, and I'll let them take care of it." With that, the guy was about to leave, and some of the admirals who had already found the team members had already begun to board the ship.
"Hey, that...... Who ...... that" Luke saw this guy's arrogant appearance, he couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to stop the other party, but suddenly found that he didn't seem to know the other party's name.
"It's Tanaka, Tanaka ......" Fortunately, Lillian next to her still remembered the other party's name, Luke only glanced at the other party's photo and the ship's mother before, and didn't pay attention to the other party's name at all.
"Tanaka? Why does this name sound so familiar? Luke suddenly felt as if he had heard the name somewhere.
"It's the secretary, and that guy is also surnamed Tanaka." Agano leaned over and reminded in a whisper.
"Ah, it doesn't matter what it's called, my ship's mother will naturally take care of herself, so you don't have to worry about it!" Luke frowned and said unceremoniously, this guy in front of him is really infuriating, if it weren't for the fact that the governor is not far away, he might have to go straight to the fist.
"You! Hum! Tanaka, who didn't expect Luke to say this, snorted coldly, and turned around and left.
Fuso and Kirishima behind him were still quite polite, bowing slightly to Luke and Lilian before leaving, and Maya also nodded to Luke as a greeting.
"Cut, what kind of person, not as sensible as his own ship's mother, how did this kind of guy become a commander?" Seeing Tanaka leaving, Luke said dissatisfiedly, but then he thought about it, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, how can every admiral be a guy with the same moral model.
