The minimum requirements for the shelling formation, the caliber of the artillery is 150+, nothing else is mentioned, and the salary is relatively high. But there were the least people queuing here, and it didn't take Xu Zhonglin's turn after a while.

The recruitment was a Kent-class heavy cruiser, the same ship Suffolk. Suffolk glanced up at Xu Zhonglin and lowered his eyelids: "How many?" Level? Calibre? Quantity! ”

Xu Zhonglin practiced for several minutes, and thought that his particularly handsome and sincere smile was useless, so he had to hand over his Admiral Medal and answer honestly: "The two shipwives are both Franz Joseph I-class hulls, with a caliber of 150 and eight main guns...... "It is bound to be strong, so he has to follow the step-by-step process."

But before he finished speaking, Suffolk had already finished writing and interrupted him rudely: "The shelling formation will start shelling at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and gather at four o'clock, and I will guide you when the time comes, and let your ship's mother come over to exchange communication signals with me, and you must follow my guidance coordinates." The frequency of shelling is every two minutes for seventy-two hours, during which time no retreat is allowed, orders must be followed, understand? ”

"Understood, I ......"

"Just understand, this mission is relatively long, you have sixteen guns, half a month's worth of ammunition, and the rest is the reward, agree?" Suffolk interrupted Xu impatiently.

"Agree ......"

Before he finished speaking, an ammunition card slapped in his hand: "There are only 152 caliber ones here, take them and exchange them yourself, tomorrow morning at four o'clock, if I don't see you at this coordinate, you know the consequences." Next! ”

Eldest sister! Can I finish my sentence? I'm a former dreadnought, and although the guns are eight, they can't fire a salvo! You're at a loss!

Xu Zhonglin wanted to shout, but the special sister paper didn't give herself a chance to be honest, think about it again, forget it, anyway, if it is found out, it will be clarified, and it is a big deal to return some of it.

After coming out, the three of them looked at each other, and Teresa took the card: "It's so rich, this trip down, it's another eighths of a Brooklyn." Don't ask a single question. ”

Sissi frowned: "It's their business if something goes wrong, we just need to do our own tasks." ”

In this way, with apprehension, the three of them embarked on a journey.

Laayoune is in Western Sahara, it is a desert by the sea, from the shore, you can still see some shrubs and weeds scattered and scattered, Xu Zhonglin arrived when it was already evening, from the sea, the desert under the sunset is golden, very beautiful, there is a small group of wild horses on the shore grazing and licking the natural salt mine.

There are already more than 30 ships waiting at the anchorage, all of them are out to do tasks, life at sea is relatively boring, and there is more back pain and nausea in the nightlife. So the admirals who had nothing to do went to each other's doors, chatted and bragged about the news.

After getting off anchor, Xu Zhonglin stood on the deck of the Empress Maria Theresa and could hear five or six admirals and a group of shipwives bragging about the ship next door. The bridge was half-hidden and could not be seen clearly, but the sound was clear.

"Did you go to yesterday's banquet?"

"Didn't go, what's wrong?"

"Haha, I'm going, Bruce has suffered a big loss!"

"Which Bruce?"

"It's the 'Iron Fist' Bruce with the prototype ship Blucher and Birmingham. Crippled by a new admiral from the East, Blucher and Birmingham were severely wounded. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"It's not Miss Lilia yet, Bruce has been pursuing Miss Lilia, but the Excellency Li Rufeng who came from the East yesterday was even more favored by the 'little angel', and he also danced with the Oriental Kid for the first time, Bruce was angry, and made provocative remarks, and finally the two of them duel at sea, and the heavy patrol line duel, two against two, guess what the result is?"

"! This half case of absinthe is yours, hurry up! ”

"Hey, hey! His Excellency Li Rufeng's two heavy cruisers were transformed into Baltimore, and Bruce was so miserable that it was said that he only hit the opponent twice before he was beaten into a sieve. The Birmingham turrets flew two and almost couldn't come back, and Blucher heard that only the deck was still exposed when he returned. Finally, even Admiral Alessandro Bamond admired the Admiral from the East, and invited him to stay at the Admiral's palace in the evening. ”

"Oh? This Eastern Admiral is very powerful! There are actually two such powerful heavy cruisers. ”

"What's more! There are also two battleships of the same position, Ise and Mutsu, and I heard that the qualifications are A. ”

The people around him were amazed again.

Xu Zhonglin listened to it with relish here, it turned out that the cheap big brother was so cruel, it seems that he contributed a lot yesterday, and he lived at home. Just when he was thinking about whether to ask Sissi to send a message of congratulations and fry some lard again. A shout came from the other side:

"Hey! Admiral, come and have dinner together. ”

After hesitating for a while, Xu Zhonglin decided to go over, he needed connections and information.

Sissi disagreed: "Admiral, those people on the other side are practical fighters, don't you have a good past?" ”

"Oh? So what faction do I belong to? ”

"Haha, of course you're an academic."

It's embarrassing, you can't drop out of school now, and I feel that I'm inexplicably caught up in a dispute, which is very unhappy, so he doesn't care too much: "Is the fight serious?" ”

Sissi nodded: "The style of acting, the style of life, and especially the values are different in all aspects. ”

Teresa had a different opinion: "The Admiral has just come out to wander, it is better to see and see, so as not to suffer losses in the future, and he will always have to deal with it." We will accompany the Admiral and we will not suffer. ”

Sissi thought about it and agreed.

Before he got closer, Xu Zhonglin smelled a strong smell of burning leaves, but it was very fragrant.

"These people are smoking opium, if they give it to you, the Admiral might as well smoke a little, but when they come back, you are absolutely not allowed to touch it." Although Teresa is usually cold, her style of acting is very informal. Xu Zhonglin had no choice but to nod.

got on the boat, and Xu Zhonglin took a closer look at the gang. There are four male admirals, one female admiral, and more than a dozen ship ladies.

With just one glance, Xu Zhonglin knew what was different, whether it was clothing or walking, sitting and lying in the academy, there were strict standards, which made people know at a glance that they were soldiers, but these people were different, the four male admirals were all shirtless, and the only female admiral was actually half-naked. And the shipwresses next to her were even more exaggerated, and they were all leaning on the admiral's arms, and they were either sexy or nightgowns. There is no resistance to the hand stretched out in his arms, but he smiles and caters from time to time. There was also a clean-up man on the table, writhing and dancing. There are cards and bottles scattered under the feet, and the deck is littered with household garbage.

Corruption! Pornography, gambling and drugs are all over.

Now Xu Zhonglin understood what Qian Qian meant, and there was a huge gap between the shipwrewn from the academy and these shipwives. The shipwives of the college are basically the most orthodox lady education, first of all, they have to study about two years of cultural courses, and receive some values, behavioral habits and other education, which is basically equivalent to what ordinary people learn from elementary school to university, but the ship's mother has a strong ability to imitate, and it only takes two years to be about the same. Then he followed the admirals to receive military education, and the time was the same as that of the admirals, about eight years. In the past eight years, it is guaranteed that a fellow ship girl who doesn't know anything can be trained into an excellent naval officer who specializes in several specialties and is skilled in various positions.

It's cumbersome and expensive, but the absolute self-discipline and self-love of the academy won't be as depraved as these people.
