Xu Zhonglin was able to walk on the ground after only lying down for two days, and it seemed to be tightly packed, but in fact, the body was not damaged, and several bone cracks needed to be slowly recuperated. The wound on his head had also scabbed, and although the doctor did not advise him to go out, he made it to the docks.

Today we are going to meet Princess Sissi's sister ship, the cruiser Maria Theresa.

"Admiral, my sister is not very good-tempered, if there is any offense later, please forgive me."

"Oh?" This made Xu Zhonglin a little worried, the ship girls are not all fairies who don't eat fireworks, and beautiful appearance does not mean that people are beautiful. With a personality like Soldati, who looks like a spoiled little girl, it is clearly not suitable for a small group that has not yet been formed at this stage. If this Maria Theresa has a bad personality, it will be fatal for Xu Zhonglin's future team.

Seeing that he was a little worried, Princess Sissi explained: "My sister is actually very good, but she doesn't believe in people, you understand, although the fate of the ship girl is in the admiral, but most of the ship girls are actually not doing well, and it is our obligation to fight with the deep sea, but we often have to fight with the ship girls under the admirals of other forces, and the ship girls of their own admirals have to fight, and we must prevent those bad-hearted ship girls from messing up their big family, these are all unnecessary, but they are always unavoidable." ”

The last reason Xu Zhonglin understood, this was Princess Sissi assuring him that Maria Teresa, the ship's mother, would not do such a thing.

At this time, a battleship slowly sailed in the distance, which looked quite clean and tidy, but the subspace of the ship's mother seemed to have a maintenance function, and every ship was like this. In the bow you can see two twin 150-mm guns, which are relatively old, and the others are not worth mentioning, with a displacement of 4,000 tons with eight guns, and there is not much room for anything else.

"Didn't all the old ships burn coal during World War I? Is it okay for you to use a fuel card? Xu Zhonglin suddenly thought of this question.

"Haha, the Admiral is really special, this question is the first time I've heard someone ask, you have been on the Sapper, haven't you visited the internal structure of the ship?"

Xu Zhonglin then remembered that there had been an organized visit to the college before, but it was not him, so he said honestly: "I saw it once in school before, and I was not impressed at that time." ”

"I'll show you around that moment."

The woman who walked down on the deck made Xu Zhonglin stunned for a while, is there a race of elves in the world of ship girls? It's really Maria Theresa's facial features that come down are too exquisite. The ship girl herself is all the best in the world, but because of the influence of unknown forces, the appearance and temperament of the ship girl has a great impact on her name. For example, in Xu Zhonglin's impression, Nelson's temperament is particularly heroic, like a female god of war. Richelieu, on the other hand, is more of a god, and she can always feel the cardinal's transcendence, and of course, in this world, everyone praises her for having the charm of the 'Lord'.

The woman in front of her is different, noble, arrogant, and inviolable. Her platinum-blond hair shines especially in the sun, and the first thing in the crowd is to focus on her. Curved eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge are similar to other ship girls, but they feel particularly delicate when combined. Coupled with the small lips and pointed chin, at first glance, it really looks like an elf.

"Nice to meet you, Maria, I'm Xu Zhonglin. We look forward to seeing you there. ”

The first impression is very important, and for this politeness, Xu Zhonglin thought about it for two whole days. Tragically, Her Majesty doesn't seem to be buying it

"You're my Admiral? It looks good, he dares to fight the deep sea before he becomes a commander, and his courage is okay. You've passed the level for the time being, but I'll continue to watch you for a while, don't let me catch the handle, or ......"

This kind of wording seems very unreasonable, if it weren't for Princess Sissi to greet in advance, Xu Zhonglin would feel that the other party was provoking. But this proud appearance was quickly stripped away by his companions.

"I'm sorry, Admiral. My sister is actually just worried that our hull is too old and will be looked down upon by you, after all, you are the owner of the victory pocket watch. It wasn't like this before my sister came, she brought all the drawings that the two of us had drawn over the years, saying that she could give you a reference and help us renovate, and we both saved a lot of money, enough for a small transformation. ”

Princess Sissi's explanation made the corners of Xu Zhonglin's mouth tear a little smile, it turned out that it was the self-esteem caused by inferiority complex that was causing trouble.

"I am the best, and since I chose you, it means that you are also the best. The strength of the hull never means anything, the Hood is very strong, it is lost in seconds, and the water fish is very weak, and it can sink Shinano. I believe that as long as we work together, all difficulties will be temporary. ”

A certain admiral has no reputation in his daily life, and he seems to have been recognized.

Her Majesty looked at him carefully: "Good speech, you can call me Teresa, it's nice to meet you, Admiral." ”

Xu Zhonglin is very impressed, Princess Sissi's bloodline is good! This is a strong ship girl, and after the little fragility in her heart is exposed, she seems very calm. Through a sentence, he can feel that this is a ship girl as good as Sissi.

"I'm glad to meet you, Teresa, I'm Xu Zhonglin, and I hope you can call me Admiral in the near future."

Leaving the two sisters to reminisce, Xu Zhonglin walked on the beach behind the residence. A good start is half the battle. After meeting Teresa, he was very steady. Two excellent enough to lay the cornerstone of the team made him happy.

At this moment, a small figure walked over.

"Sappers? You okay? Is your hull repaired? ”

"It's fixed." The sappers looked a little hesitant.

"I'm sorry for putting you in danger this time, but I was obsessed with it at the time and didn't care about your safety. Later, I heard Sissi say that you almost didn't come back. It made me feel guilty. ”

"No need to be like this, Admiral Xu, Sister Sissi will help me to manage it together, I am not in danger. And it was because I didn't have enough experience, and the cruising position at that time was not right, blocking the way of the deep-sea heavy cruise, so that it misjudged that we were going to block it. Teacher Capreira has already criticized me. ”

"Why is the teacher criticizing you? I think you're very good, very brave, thanks to you this time, I have to thank you very much. Xu Zhonglin felt that the two of them were fighting together, and they had swallowed the core by themselves, but he didn't expect it when he gave it to Sissi, but later he felt very guilty, although the "Wartime Act" stipulated that the spoils of war belonged to the admiral, but after all, the engineers were the main force of the war.

"Nope! The teacher was right, as a flagship, he should not take risks with the Admiral. This is a very important principle of the ship's mother. You don't have to thank me, I've already got a lot of rewards, and I have the core. I'm here to thank you. ”

As he spoke, the sapper turned to look at a reef, which made Xu Zhonglin have a very bad premonition.
