Chapter 20 Different ships of the same name
It's also a helpless move to disguise yourself as a queen. These guys are all outlaws who lick blood from the knife edge, and if they don't justify the shock and deter back, it will make people even more suspicious.
Sure enough, the fire drank too much, was kicked twice, and could only lie on the ground humming and chirping, already delirious. After the others looked at Xu Zhonglin, they didn't see anything, and played their own games again, the oppressive atmosphere just now was swept away, and at that moment it was as if time stood still, only the three shipwresses of the fire helped him leave.
Xu Zhonglin also took the opportunity to take Sissi and Teresa back to his ship.
Sissi let out a sigh of relief when she returned: "It's so dangerous! ”
Teresa lowered her head, already crying: "I'm sorry, Admiral, it's all my fault, I almost messed up." ”
"Nonsense! As an admiral, if you help me to charge into battle and make achievements, I have the obligation to shelter you from the wind and rain in the world. Although it was thrilling just now, the scene was still controllable, to put it bluntly, I still don't have the strength, if I am as strong as that black widow, will those people dare to do that? I command you to put away your tears! If you know shame, you have to work hard and become strong as soon as possible! ”
"Yes!"
Sissi was very good at adjusting the atmosphere and changed the topic: "Admiral, what do you think?" ”
"Something is not right, the appropriate maximum size of the shelling formation is four to eight artillery cruisers of a unified caliber and firing range. But as you saw just now, there are nearly twenty admirals here, plus a single shipwive, a total of more than eighty ships. There are a variety of artillery calibers, seven or eight calibers such as 150, 152, 170, 203, 210, etc., and there are even two 356 mm shallow water heavy gunboats. It's a rabble. It's not efficient at all. ”
"Is this a trap?" Sissi was a little worried.
Xu Zhonglin shook his head: "It's not clear at the moment, it may also be because it is cheap, the best ship here is only the prototype of the treaty heavy cruiser, maybe it is to make up for the quality with quantity." Didn't Agni say that? The bearded Carlos recently made an investment in Norway, perhaps due to a shortage of resources. ”
Sissi nodded: "It's not peaceful over there, the deep sea in the Arctic Ocean is too difficult to clean up, although it is not very harmful, but there is always more investment over there than in the Mediterranean." ”
Teresa also recovered: "That guy Carlos has a very strange idea, he has the strength above the town guard, but he doesn't have the town guard mansion, and he always likes to invest with others. It is very unusual to be so proactive this time, and we must also be vigilant. ”
After reaching a consensus, Xu Zhonglin prepared to take a bath and sleep. Although the secretary ship is the flagship of the fleet, it should have been very different from the ordinary hull, such as strengthening the bridge armor, and the interior decoration should be softened as much as possible, Xu Zhonglin was hit and injured in the Engineer before, which should have been avoided. There should also be kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and other living facilities that should be complete. But Teresa's hull is really simple, there are basically no these, only a one-square-meter toilet and bathroom, or Teresa herself modified it for her own convenience.
The transformation of the hull is not so simple, he has visited the hulls of Xu Zhonglin's two ships, and they are not the same thing as ordinary warships at all. The equipment that an ordinary warship should have is here, but it is also full of purple-black style of the deep sea, whether it is the power system, the naval gun system, the torpedo system or other things, all of which are covered by a huge purple-black component like a beehive, and the top is covered with dense runes. The underside of the bridge is also occupied by a large altar-like object, which is used to house the core of the ship's hull. These unknown components are the fundamental reason why the ship's mother can operate a hull alone, and it is a very complicated project to change it at all. The smaller the displacement, the less room for modification. Teresa is only four thousand tons,
The conditions were very difficult, so Xu Zhonglin was not in the mood to enjoy it, he hurriedly took a shower and prepared to go to bed, it was difficult for him to rest for the next three days and seventy-two hours, and he had to recuperate.
But to his surprise, there were visitors when he came out. This is a very tall ship girl, about the same height as Princess Sissi, with a slender figure, when Xu Zhonglin saw her, he almost shouted: Halle Berry!
Yes, this ship's facial features are very similar to Halle Berry's, but she has a long neck, and her skin is lighter, much more beautiful than Black Pearl.
"Hello, Admiral, I'm the mother of the unprotected cruiser Lena Christiana."
"Hello, I'm Xu Zhonglin." It was actually a prototype ship, but Xu Zhonglin got drunk when he heard about the unprotected cruiser. To put it simply, it is a ship made of iron sheets, and its defensive ability is the same as that of ordinary merchant ships, and a sharp dagger can pierce it. Here's what Helleye says:
Unprotected Cruiser Rena Christina: Battle scum, go away, don't stain my eyes.
"Miss Rena came alone?"
"Yes, I'm a wandering ship girl, take the liberty to bother, please bear with me." The so-called wandering ship girl, which is Sissi and Teresa, who were summoned by the admiral, and because of their poor strength, they were deeply disliked and unwanted, and they were placed in the original world, commonly known as 'dog food'.
Rena kept bowing since she came in and was very polite, so Xu Zhonglin didn't blame her for disturbing late at night.
"Miss Rena, is there anything we can do to help?"
"I, I want to come to my sister."
"Who is your sister?"
"Empress Maria Theresa, I heard she's here, can the Admiral let me meet her?"
At this time, Xu Zhonglin and the two girls were stunned. Teresa stammered a little: "I ...... I'm the cruiser Empress Maria Theresa, but ...... I'm sorry I ......."
"Huh?!" The big-eyed cute girl on the opposite side was also surprised.
That's it, the four of them look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all a little overwhelmed.
After a long time, Rena was a little surprised: "But I ...... But I don't feel like it, my sister is an armored cruiser. ”
"What country are you from?" Sissi seemed to understand a little.
"Can you say that? Spain, I participated in the Battle of Manila, was sunk, and my sister was also destroyed after the Battle of Santiago. The little girl looked a little wary, and only said it when she saw Sissi nodding, obviously knowing the agreement between the prototype ship girl.
He must have found the wrong person, Xu Zhonglin saw an Enterprise when he set sail with the cadet team, and when he rushed to the deck with a pilgrimage mood, he found that it was a former dreadnought. It is said that there are six or seven ships of the same name of the enterprise, all of which are from different countries, and Prince Eugen, Sissi and Teresa's nemesis, also called Prince Eugen, but they are combined forces-class battleships. So this kind of situation of different ship girls with the same name often happens.
Sissi couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen your sister since you were born?" ”
The little girl was obviously disappointed: "No, the Admiral doesn't want me, I spent ten years in the Naval Academy, but still no one wants me, I will come out to work after graduation, most of them are escorts, help the town guard Admiral patrol and early warning, for more than a hundred years, I have only seen Castile, but unfortunately she returned to the sea eighty-six years ago." This time I thought I could finally find my sister, but I didn't expect ......"
Sissi's eyes flashed with tears, and Teresa had already cried, and went up and hugged Rena, howling and crying.
Only they who are also homeless ship mothers can experience the feeling of being lonely and rejected by the whole world. The same kind of people laughed at them, the admirals disliked them, they were not needed to resist the deep sea, and even the wandering ship girls would become tense because of the competition for a little meager escort remuneration. Year after year, he wandered around like an outcast, without a home, without a partner, without a commander, and without knowing when he would die at sea, suffering from spring and summer after spring.
