It is difficult for Xu Zhonglin to describe what kind of mood he is in now. It's like a leader in the unit goes to the supermarket to buy something, and you want to help him get it, but he suspects you of stealing something...... In short, very depressing.

"Shall we both go along? You see, although this admiral is an Oriental, he is witty and courageous, and the front line needs a commander like him to contribute to it. Elena's tone was very calm, and as she spoke, Xu Zhonglin felt a sharp pain in his brain, and then a sense of loss in his heart, and he couldn't feel Elena anymore - the contract was broken!

The contract was broken, and it was unilaterally and forcibly severed!

Elena ignored all this and spread her hands indifferently at Garibaldi: "You see, now it's okay." ”

"Shut up!"

Garibaldi was interrupted by Xu Zhonglin as soon as he opened his mouth: "What are you doing?!" You keep saying that you recognize me as a commander, and now, do you take me seriously?! Why unilaterally terminate the contract? ”

Elena's expression was finally moved, she glanced at Xu Zhonglin deeply with complicated eyes, guilty and nostalgic, but she didn't answer his words, and continued to say to Garibaldi: "I will go back with Margaret, incognito, and promise not to appear in the public eye again." My admiral needs merit, he must go to the front. ”

Xu Zhonglin felt that he was going crazy, and a cloud of anger accumulated in his chest, Elena ignored him, and he shouted at Margaret: "Do you want to betray too?!" Okay, come on! ”

Margaret's personality is not as rigid as Elena's, she already has tears in her eyes on the side, and she can't cry even more when she hears the words: "Admiral, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... But you can't go to the front line with us! ”

"! Are you stupid? Without you, why would I go to the front? Sent to death? Am I crazy to take the risk to help Italy on turf? ”

Margaret choked up and couldn't speak, and Elena finally spoke to him: "Admiral, without us, you can choose other battleships. I've already sent a message to Caprera that two new battleships will come and follow you to the front. Those two are the same ship as me and Margaret, both have A's qualifications, they are both excellent, and their previous records are very brilliant, they will definitely help you ......"

"Shut up!" Xu Zhonglin roared hysterically this time.

After yelling, the depression in his chest eased a lot, and he regained his composure a little.

"What are you two going to do when you go back incognito? Be a teacher like Minerva and Eurydice, or a nun like that Bloody Mary? ”

Elena lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him: "I judge the weather more accurately, I used to be a weather forecast announcer on the radio, Maggie She likes children, and she used to be a kindergarten teacher." It's okay to keep going back to work, get used to it. ”

Xu Zhonglin sneered: "It feels very leisurely to listen to, and I kept shouting to my commander, and I retracted at the critical moment." That's all you Queen Elena's insistence is? What about your pride? ”

Elena is a very stubborn ship girl, and it is difficult for Xu Zhonglin to change her decision, so she can only try to use the radical method.

"Nope! That's not true! Admiral! The two of us have discussed that we will go back for a while, and when you return to the East, we will go back with you. Margaret was frightened by his indifferent attitude and quickly confided the truth.

Elena finally raised her head, with two lines of tears on her face: "We didn't want to leave you, but this way you can not only take us, but also bring one or two more battleship mothers, okay?" ”

Truth!

Xu Zhonglin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Made, I thought it was a betrayal, it turned out to be a false alarm, and I scared my father to death!

It's time to take the opportunity to brush up on favorability again, someone carefully wiped Margaret's tears, then picked them up, put them next to Elena, squatted in front of them, and put their hands on their own: "No, I won't let you two leave so dishonorably." Since we have decided to go, we are going to go in style. I just want to take you to the task honestly, so that you two don't owe anything to the country. It's naturally good to take two more shipwives away, but unfortunately my ability is limited, so I don't think I can take that much. Well, I only want my stubborn Elena and the docile Margaret, and nothing else. As for the issue of merit, since I am your admiral, leave it to me. ”

Xu Zhonglin stood up and turned to face Garibaldi: "The British Tejlis-class aircraft carrier is much better than the Eagle class aircraft carrier hull armor that Xiaomi is using now, I have the drawings." Let me take them to the front and I'll give it to you. ”

Garibaldi shook his head: "As long as the hull is not sinking and the protection is sufficient, there is no difference between the Aquila class and the Radiant class after being hit by a nine-hundred-kilogram bomb." There are our ports everywhere in the Mediterranean, and if you are injured, you can find a port to repair it. Moreover, the tonnage of the Tejas class is larger, but the carrier aircraft is about the same, which means that it consumes more precious aircraft carrier cores and resources, which is too luxurious for the Italian Navy, which is not very rich in military spending. ”

! Can I say you're always short-sighted?

"I have blueprints for the Tone-class heavy cruisers and the Tone-class heavy cruisers, especially the Tone-class, which has a faster speed of 37 knots than the Taranto-class heavy cruisers, and has better protective armor than the Zara class."

Garibaldi still shook his head: "It's useless for us to ask for this kind of thing, we have the best Des Moines-class heavy patrol drawings, but you can also see that the navy is not equipped much, because no matter how powerful the heavy patrol is, it can't beat the armored weakened version of the Veneto-class battleship, with that resource, we might as well transform a few more battle cruisers, the Zara class and the Taranto class are used together, and it is enough to perform general tasks." ”

! Stupid and poor, there is no future! It seems that it can only magnify the move.

"There is a French shipwreck named Richelieu, as you must know, I have seen her hull, and now it has been transformed into a giant ship with four quadruple 381 mm main gun turrets. I think I'll be able to design a Veneto-class quadruple hull in two years. Let me take them to the front, and I promise to produce drawings that will satisfy you before leaving. ”

Garibaldi shook his head again: "We have already had more than a dozen different versions of this kind of design drawing, but the price is too great. We have even modified the hulls of several shipwrecks for testing, but the results are not ideal, and the reduction in speed and tonnage caused by the extension of the hull outweigh the losses compared to the resources consumed. Moreover, no matter what, it will not be able to defeat a battleship with a larger caliber of main guns. Unless you can come up with a battleship blueprint with a 406 mm caliber gun, I advise you not to be delusional. ”

! And it's a resource!

Of course, the 406 mm caliber gun Xu Zhonglin has it in his hell pocket watch, and even Yamato's 460 has it. But if he really believed Garibaldi's words, he would not want to leave Italy.

Garibaldi's lack of oil and salt made him very depressed, and Xu Zhonglin finally had no choice but to say: "I can't get the drawings of 406, but I really want to go to the front line and take them with me." Why don't you put forward the conditions? ”

"There are no conditions, in fact, I think Admiral Elena has a good idea, wouldn't it be nice for you to go to the front on your own? I can help you get it, and maybe you can leave with two more battleships. I'll pretend I didn't hear it. ”

Can it be the same? The Goddess of Wisdom and the Soul Resurrection Girl originally followed Xu Zhonglin with the intention of finally repaying the country and making some contributions to Italy. He didn't have to ask to know that Elena and Margaret must have thought the same thing in their hearts. They all want to fight the deep sea again for this country. As their admiral, Xu Zhonglin can't let them leave regrets here.

So he could only turn away depressedly, and when he left, he unwillingly stretched out his middle finger at Garibaldi.

“Vaffanculo！”
