Chapter Thirty-Eight: Before Departure
The so-called joining a faction is not just a form or symbol, but a real participation in a huge network of interests, enjoying due strength and obligation.
Long before Mo Yan built Akagi, the Ishutanor Naval Base was actually not suitable for Mo Yan to stay.
The growth of the ship mother is not much achieved overnight, just like raising Gu or the formation of coal. On the road of every ship's growth, there is a thick layer of deep-sea wreckage.
Nearly two months have passed since the last time the city was attacked by a deep-sea air raid. In the intervening two months, the sea near Ishutenor had been almost completely overturned, and the deep sea, which had been born in large quantities by air raids, had been completely cleared. After reconnaissance by the aircraft carrier of the base, it was confirmed that there was not even a deep sea within 200 nautical miles of the coastal waters near the base.
The admirals and the shipwives who had come from all over the northern coast to destroy the deep sea because of the attack on Ishutenor also left, as if they had eaten all the birds and thrown themselves into the forest, leaving behind a white sea and so clean!
The naval base has changed from the bustle and bustle of some time ago to the way it was before the air raid on Ishitanor.
The aircraft carrier mother who was responsible for duty in the intelligence center changed back to three, working three shifts a day for six hours each. After the reconnaissance plane was released, it went to the office in a daze, of course, you can also call two ship girls or admirals you know to chat and fart, and if you are really bored, you can directly lie on the desk and sleep.
The mission hall has become deserted again, and apart from the occasional mission of one or two merchant ship escorts, there is nothing to do here.
Even the exercise ground, which was noisy for a while because of the arrival of ship wives from all over the northern coast, is now only two or three kittens left, and occasionally a few new admirals will take their newly built ship wives to practice tactical maneuvers and artillery accuracy.
Since coming out of Nelson's house that night, the goose-feather snow has been falling non-stop for three days. It wasn't until this morning that the heavy snow was exhausted and slowly stopped.
After the snow, the continuous white snow decorates the entire naval base, and the jade branches and jade trees are covered in pink and white.
In the front yard of the single-family apartment assigned to Mo Yanxin, the three shipwives rarely got up early in the morning.
Akagi stood in the porch in front of his apartment with a cup of hot tea, quietly watching Quincy and Princeton build snowmen in the yard.
Mo Yan went out early in the morning to get some documents needed for an internship at the front line town guard mansion and to ask Nelson for a letter of recommendation for a faction.
For Mo Yan, who owns Akagi, although the base in the rear of Ishutanor is comfortable, it is difficult to have a chance to show his strengths. The sea around the base has been completely cleared, and if you want to continue to destroy the deep sea and earn merit, you must either go to other cities along the coast, or go deep into the middle sea area two hundred nautical miles away from the coastline.
However, most of the cities along the coast are not much different from Ishutenoor, and most of the deep sea in the coastal waters is regularly cleaned by the shipwives from all over the country like cutting leeks, after all, everyone wants to accumulate enough strength before going to the front line.
If you want to go deep into Zhonghai, which is 200 nautical miles away, the distance of each sortie is a little too far, so it is better to apply directly to those front-line town guards of the second line of defense for internship.
The actual control and defense area of the second line of defense is the Zhonghai sea area 200 to 600 nautical miles away from the coastline, and it is far more convenient to go more than 200 nautical miles from the coastal base to go deep into the Zhonghai Sea.
Therefore, Mo Yan, who wanted to continue to accumulate merits and even established his own town guard mansion, actively began to seek the opportunity to go to the front-line town guard mansion for internship after building Akagi, and finally after Nelson used the network of military factions, it took only three days to complete this thing, and won a place for Mo Yan to go to the front-line town guard mansion for internship.
The town guard mansion that was scheduled for the internship this time happened to belong to his own faction, so Nelson also prepared a letter of recommendation for Mo Yan, so that Mo Yan could be taken care of more or less after he passed.
The prototype of Quincy and Princeton's snowman is the eldest sister of the Italian Lori Party, Veneto, but both of them are not very good at craftsmanship, except for the ship ornament on the head, this snowman can't find any enemies similar to Veneto.
After the two of them built the snowman, they looked back and forth, and they were probably not satisfied, but Quincy picked up the shovel and brushed it a few times to flatten the snowman's chest, which made the snowman and Veneto somewhat similar.
After stacking Veneto's snowman, the two shipwresses pointed around the snowman and didn't know what to say, and then continued to roll the snowball and prepare to push one, this time it was Bismarck.
Akagi felt a little bored after watching it for a while, so he went back to the apartment to cook.
Since having Akagi, Mo Yan is no longer willing to go to the cafeteria to eat, the aircraft carrier lady not only has the noble and elegant temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko, but also has the cooking skills that she wants to match, and she has been involved in all major cuisines. Of course, the best cooking is still Japanese cuisine.
After returning from Nelson, Akagi used only "one meal" to completely capture Mo Yan, Quincy, and Princeton, three starving ghosts who had been poisoned by the base's cafeteria for a long time.
"In winter, I should still make oden, it's rare to have such good ingredients."
Akagi, who had changed into home clothes, thought about Mo Yan's gobbling up when he ate, and he was suddenly full of energy.
Not to mention how Akagi in the kitchen prepared breakfast for his beloved admiral, Mo Yan finally came to the office where Nelson had been trained by Nelson again after visiting several units and handling various documents.
When Mo Yan first arrived, Nelson was sitting at his desk with a cup of hot tea in his hands, his eyes completely unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"It turns out that a shipwright like Nelson can actually be lazy!"
Mo Yan chuckled at Nelson's cute appearance, coughed deliberately, and then stood outside the door and knocked on the door.
Nelson was stunned when he heard the knock on the door, then put down his teacup and shouted out the door:
"Please come in!"
Because of the Mai Yin Force, the ship girls are generally not very afraid of the cold, even in the cold winter covered in silver, the door of Nelson's office is wide open.
Mo Yan walked into the room, rubbed his hands with a hot breath, and then placed the papers under his armpits on Nelson's desk.
"All the procedures are done, you just need to write me a certificate and give me a letter of recommendation, and tomorrow I will leave for Shernais."
"I've got the certificate and recommendation letter ready for you." Nelson pulled a file bag out of a drawer and placed it on his desk, continuing, "But are you really sure you're in such a hurry? I think your best choice now should be to stay in the base for two years of seniority, and it would be better to go to the front-line town guard for an internship after accumulating six shipwives in a fleet. ”
Although Mo Yan's ships are very strong, the front-line town guard is not as strong as the coastal base after all, and the intensity of the deep sea is at least ten times more than that of the coastal base. Many of the shipwives who perform extremely well at the coastal bases will have a long time after arriving at the frontline town guard mansion to adjust to the rhythm of the battle there.
Reaching out to take the document bag from the table, Mo Yan smiled confidently: "If the admiral of the navy is not motivated, what is the difference between him and salted fish?" It's more secure, but that's not what I want. As for forming a fleet, as long as you destroy some more deep seas, wouldn't it be faster to defend the mansion on the front line? I have 100% confidence in my ship! ”
"Then good luck with that!"
Nelson looked at Mo Yan with a determined expression and smiled with satisfaction.
"Tianlong, you really accepted a good apprentice this time!"
