Chapter 277: It's really a loser

"I'm sorry I couldn't finish what you delivered, Lord Admiral. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When I saw Lady Celia again, the big sister who showed shrewdness and intelligence in business had a little more flavor in her attitude towards Koji, a kind of clear distance between up and down.

"It's okay, I didn't expect to hear Lexington say that Lady Celia has sold most of the goods I left behind."

"It's a pity that there are no naval professionals among the negotiation partners, and most of the remuneration received is in the form of federal credits, which may not be of much use to the Admiral."

"Credits really don't work much for me......"

Koji told the truth.

Federal credit is money.

As a naval admiral, Koji has been exposed to a value system based on the four resources of burning bombs, steel and aluminum, and currency in the conventional sense is of little significance to a naval admiral.

“……”

That's right.

But the Admiral's appearance of taking it for granted is really a bit of a fight.

Every penny of income here is Celia's hard work and those shrewd businessmen, who doesn't want to hear a few nice words of praise.

Business Woman ......

It's also a woman, okay?

"The money received is pretty good, and the credit points can sometimes buy the resources I need, but some of the goods are in trouble, so I can't take them away and I can't use them."

"That's because ......"

Lady Celia was furious.

Because no one is as capable as you, Lord Admiral.

I thought it would be a tug-of-war and an armed conflict that would last for quite some time, but it only took a few days for the results to come to fruition.

This completely disrupted Lady Celia's plans, and the merchant's eldest sister had already collected the hot goods, but it would take some time to turn them into credits.

The problem is that it seems that the Admiral in front of him does not have the patience.

It's like she's not getting things right.

The businessman's eldest sister said she was very aggrieved.

"I'm leaving at four o'clock in the afternoon for my original destination." Koji said.

"So fast? Didn't you say that the Andrea battleship in your fleet was badly damaged in battle? Celia was even more angry, knowing that there was little time but not expecting less time than expected.

It's less than three hours.

At this point, she will not be able to cash in the goods.

"Well, Ellie has learned some lessons, but she can run and jump after she comes out of the bath."

"Then I will immediately convene a chamber of commerce to sell the materials on hand and recover the value of the goods as much as possible."

"There's no need for that!"

"What?"

Celia looked up in surprise.

Did she disappoint the Admiral because of her mistakes?

"I mean, don't bother, Celia, you just need to make a count of the goods you have on hand, and someone from the federal military will take over for a while."

"Federal Military...... Don't you know, Lord Admiral, that doing business with the military is the most cost-losing way? In addition to gaining so-called official connections that are worthless to you, the price they offer can make people vomit blood. ”

"I didn't negotiate the price with them, but I promised to leave all this mess to him."

"Your ......, Lord Admiral"

Lady Celia's expression was the same as Lexington's when he learned of the news.

Koji has become the biggest loser in their eyes.

However, the Admiral could only shrug his shoulders.

This world doesn't support global mailing, you blame me.

Besides, if you really mail the Blue Sea Mist Fleet, you can't use those goods, so why not just order it.

"Well, if all this is what you mean, I'll do a good job of handing over the people from the military, but I'll say it anyway...... Lord Admiral, you really have to learn more from Sister Lexington when it comes to running a family. ”

During this time, Lady Celia was in contact with Lexington, and the two women got to know each other a little.

The Admiral shrugged his shoulders again and expressed his innocence.

People say that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, but his situation is not special.

The Admiral's daily hours spent on systems and plans barely made it even for him to step out of his room and onto the deck.

"Also, I told you about Celia's situation above...... Then, the forehead ...... This is a call-up order. Lord Admiral took a document from his hand and handed it to the merchant's sister.

The Federation, as the governing core of human society, naturally has some special authority.

For example, it is mandatory for age-appropriate teenagers to serve in the military.

Or if you enlist a federal citizen.

Lady Celia has been drafted!

Koji only told the uncle of the base commander about the situation, and the bearded lieutenant colonel patted his chest on the spot and said that he would solve it and quickly brought this recruitment document.

The general content of the document is that Ms. Celia Duilio will officially become a supernumerary member of the Federal Navy from today, and will be directly subordinate to the Blue Sea Mist Fleet under the command of Second Commander Ni Hao.

Other words.

Lady Celia has become Koji's subordinate!

After reading the information on the document, Lady Celia's beautiful eyes widened.

In order to recruit her, a commoner woman from a merchant family, the Federation also gave her the rank of honorary second lieutenant as a consolation.

Forehead.

It's kind of comforting.

Honorary ensignships are also considered officers.

Although the whole document said that Mrs. Celia is equivalent to selling herself to Koji.

"This ......"

I'm going from being a citizen to an officer?

Lady Celia stared at her eyes in disbelief.

"It has a military stamp on it that enjoys federal legal protection, congratulations, Second Lieutenant Celia."

"Uh...... Eh...... Xie - No, this says that I am going to follow you to some kind of appointment in the Cursed Sea, where is the Cursed Sea? What am I going to do? "It's not a good place to know just by the name.

"Ahem, Second Lieutenant Celia, the first thing you have to do as a federal soldier is to obey orders." Lord Admiral's face was embarrassed.

……

"It's windy at sea, so don't look if you can't see it."

On the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, Lexington finds the businessman's big sister who is alone at sea level.

Columns...... Lexington, that ...... That one...... Forget it, I'll make you laugh. Lady Celia had not yet adapted to the change of identity, and seemed a little hesitant.

"Then Yu really smiled." The aircraft carrier mother smiled kindly.

"If you can bear it, I hope you can bear it." Celia rolled her eyes, helpless.

Because the two have had many contacts during this time, and even Lexington's hull Celia is not the first time to set foot in it, and the friendship between the two mature big sisters is more familiar than it seems.

Sometimes Celia can't imagine.

The sister in front of her, who was not as old as her, would actually be the embodiment of the will of this war beast with a displacement of 40,000 tons under her feet.

Mind-body!

Celia remembered what the Admiral had said.

She looked like an ordinary woman just like herself.

If you really want to say it, Lexington seems to have more ethereal aura than Celia, and it is a little unreal.

"Is it the first time you're away from home?" Accompanying Lady Celia to look at the island of Gagu, which was no longer visible behind the fleet, Lexington said.

Celia shook her head and let out a long sigh.

"It's not the first time I've left."

"But the way to leave is something I've never thought of."

"I don't know if I'll be able to come back here in my lifetime."

Lady Celia was born here, grew up here, and started a family, and she used to think that maybe she would be here until she was old and could never fight again.

But the fate of life changes so quickly, and people are unprepared for it.

"Is hometown meaningful to you shipwives?"

"No, the place where the Admiral is there is the hometown of the Yu Ship Niang, and the home of the Ship Niang is the Governor's Town Guard's Mansion."

"That's really ......"

It's really not a good object to talk about life and sigh with the ship's mother.

Celia gathered her messy mood and pulled the conversation to the fleet.

The Admiral had already spoken to Celia about her position in the Blue Sea Mist fleet.

In fact, it is not much different from what she did in the past, it is to provide logistics support for the fleet.

A merchant can't be an admiral.

But every admiral can be seen as a merchant.

This is because a Governor often means that he will be sent to the garrison to establish a Governorate.

And a town guard mansion can be as small as an island, as large as a bustling city.

Whether it's the former or the latter, the Admiral needs sound logistical support.

This role is generally played by the Federal Military Department.

But it didn't say that the Admiral couldn't open another line on his own to get some family property or something.

"Everyone else went so many days early, can we catch up with so much backward now?" Talking about the Blue Sea Mist Fleet's destination cursed sea area this time, Celia was a little worried.

The competition in the industry that Koji said under the pretext is really not nonsense.

Newly developed seas such as the Sea of the Damned have different locations, different responsibilities and obligations, and even different resource tendencies.

Naturally, some prime locations will be formed, some are tasteless and discarded, and the division of the jurisdiction of the probationary town guard government is a unified arrangement by the superiors, but it can also be artificially influenced.

Of course, those who go late don't have much of a choice.

"Yu is now advancing at a speed of 30 knots, and it is only a matter of time before he catches up with the large army." Lexington smiled softly.

The secretary ship did not explain to the merchant's eldest sister that in fact, there was no difference between the blue sea fog fleet going early and going late, and the position of the lieutenant town guard of the Admiral had already been set by the big ship girls of the European Imperial Mansion.

"Verse 30......" Celia was startled.

The merchant's eldest sister cautiously leaned out and looked at the water below deck.

Lexington's statistic might not be so amazing if it were given to a man on land or to another admiral.

But Celia used to be a businessman.

Azure Star, the merchant ships of this world merchant are only a dozen knots at most.

This is still very fast, and many merchant ships are still only at a turtle speed of less than 10 knots.

The fact that the merchant ships themselves do not run fast is one reason.

There is no need to run too fast in a safe sea area is also a reason.

There is also a reason why the faster you run, the greater the consumption, and the budget-conscious businessmen know how to make the best income.

So to Celia's ears, the meaning of the 30 knots is very different.

The first thing that came to the mind of the businessman's eldest sister was how much fuel would be consumed in a day for an aircraft carrier as large as Lexington to run out of this speed......

Lord Admiral.

It's really a loser!
