Xu Zhonglin lowered his head a little depressed and walked back. A voice came from in front of him: "Hey! Isn't this Admiral Xu who has seven ship girls? ”

When I looked up, it was Benso.

It's been a long time. Benso used to be Cato's henchman, but since the night in the Canary Islands, Cato and Xu Zhonglin have released their previous suspicions, and Benso has disappeared from the two of them. I didn't expect it to appear again today.

Seeing Xu Zhonglin standing there frowning and not reacting, a person next to Ben Suo continued: "Oh, so that's the case, it's amazing!" I heard that there are seven ship girls. ”

"Haha, yes, the seven shipwives add up to more than 10,000 tons." Cato laughed wildly.

Another pretended to be surprised: "Really? Isn't that an average of just over a thousand tons? It deserves to be the 'King of Rags'! Aha......"

This person Xu Zhonglin has a little impression that he should be a student who graduated from the last two classes, named Pia Costa. Looking at the large number of ship girls standing behind him, she should be a very good admiral. This item wears a coat of arms on its chest, and it can be seen that it is a nobleman, Xu Zhonglin does not know much about this aspect, but it is very similar to the Cato family, the patterns on the left and right sides are diametrically opposed, this should be the heraldic style of the new family formed by the marriage of two powerful families.

Ben Suo suddenly stopped smiling and showed a bloodthirsty expression: "Haha, all of them can't beat me as a ship girl!" Isn't that the King of Rags? ”

Xu Zhonglin judged that Ben Suo already had three ship girls according to the position of the shipwrewn behind the two of them. This is obviously stained with the light of this unintentional military operation, many reserve ship wives were re-recruited by the navy, and Xu Zhonglin, who just graduated this year, also got a share. Cato sent a message that he had been assigned two more shipwives.

Ben Suo's forced pretending to be a little fresh and refined, Xu Zhonglin originally wanted to be sarcastic. But seeing that Anne in her arms was a little timid, with an expression of wanting to cry, she thought about it or forget it, her little cute thing was very afraid of life, and she still needed to recover slowly.

Annie's expression made the two of them even more arrogant: "Haha, this kind of coward can also become a ship girl?" I don't think it's better to be a target ship, so that the contribution is greater. ”

Xu Zhonglin can spit on himself, but no one is allowed to insult Anne like this.

", thirsty for him? Right! The name is disgusting, you'd better get out of the way, disappear from my eyes forever, and next time I see you, I'll kill you! If it was half an hour ago, he might have smiled at it, and also sarcastically said "three domestic slaves" and "stray dog lovers" or something. But now, what are they?

Someone who has been bathed in blood and has an imposing body in him, Pia Costa obviously did not expect him to issue a death warning so bluntly. It wasn't until Xu Zhonglin walked out of the distance with Anne in his arms that Pia Costa shouted behind him: "Yellow monkey! You wait, I'll make you look good when you enter the navy! ”

didn't even bother to answer 'waiting for you', Xu Zhonglin left disdainfully.

……

Passionate military music, solemn scenes. Xu Zhonglin solemnly took his Admiral's sword from Caprela's hand. This is a handguard stabbing sword style, the gauntlet is in the shape of a bowl, with a complex pattern of thorns hollowed out, and the thorns represent tenacity and perseverance. The sword is slender, with a one-sided blade and a blood groove in the middle, which can be stabbed or slashed. But this sword is more of a symbol, a commanding sword of the Admiralty.

Xu Zhonglin's one is a little more ornate than the others, the bowl-shaped gauntlet is made of gold, and the most special thing is the counterweight of the sword tail, which is a double-headed eagle pattern. The tail of the eagle is in the shape of an irise, representing wisdom and glory, and the two talons of the eagle hold the sword and the cross respectively, representing bravery and generosity. The eagle wears a small crown on its head, which represents power, status. This is an honor for the best students in each class.

If Xu Zhonglin is canonized by any European country in the future, he will have the right to use this double-headed eagle pattern in his family coat of arms. The traverser obviously doesn't know much about the meaning of this pattern, but he just knows that many countries use this pattern, making an exception to give the first place in each session, probably a kind of 'rest with the country', which should be an incentive, but unfortunately he is from the Eastern Empire, so he basically can't use it.

Capreyla whispered: "I won't send you off, I'm not used to that kind of scene, you just have a chance to come back and see it more, cherish!" ”

……

The thousand words of parting have turned into a depressed dullness. Sissi, knowing that the Admiral was unhappy and had been depressed, proposed to go to Taranto from the inland to report that she wanted to go all the way to the cathedrals for Eucharistic Mass. Of course, a certain non-religious admiral doesn't know if he has been fooled, but he understands this as an otherworldly version of 'burning incense in the temple and kowtowing to the Buddha', and other non-Catholic ship girls also know that the admiral is in a bad mood, and Sissi wants him to distract himself.

The group decided to take the train to Fileneauld to find Cato first.

The locomotive is also a kind of machine girl summoned by the broken core, this kind of machine girl is very short, only about one meter tall, although the eyes are also big, but the pupils are dull and godless, and can only understand orders, without wisdom. Xu Zhonglin observed curiously for a while, and simply greeted this machine girl, and the other party could still answer his questions, but he was relatively mechanical and had no feelings, which made him lose interest.

Filenere is very close to Livorno, up the Arno River, two hours away. Xu Zhonglin had already notified Cato and asked him to pick up the car. But when the train arrived at the station, he was stunned by the scene on the station.

A red carpet flanked by honor guards and military musicians, flowers and streamers were sprayed after the doors opened, and music sounded at the right time. Xu Zhonglin thought that some big man was coming, so he looked left and right, and found that there were only his own people in this carriage, and he was a little confused.

Cato Miroda appeared on the other end of the red carpet at this time and walked over with open arms.

it! Brother, it's over, you're so pompous, buddy can't hold it!

didn't know what the hell Cato was doing, Xu Zhonglin could only meet him and make a face-to-face salute with the other party.

"Welcome, my comrade-in-arms!" Cato appears formal.

"Dude, what is this going on? Such a big battle. Xu Zhonglin was a little unaccustomed.

Cato said, "Yes, this is the courtesy that the Miroda family and the Medici family should have for a well-known warship designer and a well-known admiral, and if I don't do it, I will be ridiculed." ”

Sissi telepathically explained to him: Admiral, these are all conventional, representing the recognition of you by the Miroda and Medici families, so you should thank each other.

Teresa seemed to be prepared, and held out a complete set of porcelain: "Thank you for the reception of the Miroloda family and the Medici family, according to Eastern etiquette, you need to give a gift for the first visit, please accept it." ”

Made! Feelings, you all know that the other party will play like this, just hide it from Lao Tzu alone?

Under-Training! You have to be spanked one by one when you go back.
