Chapter 12: Cato's Growth
The person who came out was Cato, who was also quite miserable, with a thick splint bandage on his right hand and hanging around his neck. There were also several wounds on his cheeks, which seemed to be somewhat disfigured.
"Hello, Your Excellency Xu Zhonglin, let me know again, I'm Cato Miroda."
Cato seems to have grown up and matured a lot overnight. He also made a great contribution to this battle. Kato left the port later than him, and happened to encounter a submarine sneak attack, and he was teamed up with another ship's lady in the class, the same ship Javelin. The growth of the Javelin is not very good, only B, but it is very hard in peacetime, and this battle is also heroic.
After the first wave of torpedoes, Cato and Javelin decisively blocked the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. Saving the ship from a second wave. And the Javelin itself was hit by a torpedo, and the entire hull of the ship was broken in two. Luckily, it's right on the harbor waterway. Cato commanded the Javelin to immediately rush to the beach, saving the Javelin's life by running aground.
Even so, because the hull was so damaged, the Javelin still hasn't woken up. However, yesterday, the Admiral of the Xiangrui had already suggested that the Javelin should be replaced with a Fletccher-class hull, and the cost was all included. For this kind of front-line tyrant admiral, this little expense is nothing as a thank you.
Cato made great contributions because of his resolute command, and was also gifted a 10,000-ton cruiser core by the admiral. At the time of the explosion, he was thrown out like Xu Zhonglin, and he lived in the ward next door to Xu Zhonglin to recuperate from his injuries for the past few days.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, brave Admiral Cato Miroda, I'm Xu Zhonglin."
The two remaining intact hands were held together, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed together at the same time. Fighting is the best way to enhance friendship.
"The sapper is my secretary ship, this time with you, I have made a lot of progress, I want to thank you." Cato handed over a resource card.
Xu Zhonglin didn't answer: "Hey! Robbed my bride, and came to abuse the single dog, it's not kind, as for thanks, I just said, I don't think we need to be so polite. ”
"Haha, well, I'm here to tell you that Archadmiral Bamond has returned, and he will personally preside over the contract for us meritorious students here at the Commandery's Mansion. The teachers at the academy have agreed. Although the sapper was mine from the beginning, it feels like robbing you, so, I'm going to ask you what you think, I think Soldati and Javelin are very good, Soldati is also A qualification, if you have difficulties, I want to help you a little. ”
Xu Zhonglin was a little shocked, how could this product change so much overnight? So he said with some caution: "Chengguan? Men's soccer team? Demolition and relocation office? ”
Cato looked confused.
Hey, I don't even know this kind of elite unit with high combat effectiveness, and it doesn't seem to be from my generation. Xu Zhonglin looked at it with a look of disgust, which made Cato understand a little: "Hey! You're always so mysterious, and you're really unlikeable. ”
"You too, a noble lord from Fei Leng Cui."
"Hey! I am a nobleman, but the aristocracy is strict with self-discipline, cherishes honor, and helps the weak, so don't be fooled by the rebels of that country in the north! Only the landlords in the countryside would use the title 'lord'. ”
"Haha, okay, I apologize to you. And sincerely thank you. I already have my favorite shipwive, and it's two. ”
"Who!"
"The cruisers Queen Elizabeth and Queen Maria Theresa from the east."
Cato was visibly surprised: "We're friends, aren't we?!" ”
"Yes."
"My friend, although you will not be happy to say this, however, I would like to ask you not to be blinded by the title of the prototype ship, I admit that these two ship girls are very good, but they will also cause you trouble, Javelin is not good? Soldati is also A, and such a ship of the same position is not necessarily worse than a prototype ship. ”
"Thank you, my friend, for your sincerity. Javelin is good, she is an amazing warrior and will definitely grow into a great shipwreck in the future. But Soldati is clearly not mature enough. As you said, in my opinion, it is enough that the ship's mother is excellent, and this is enough to represent everything. As for the rest, we're still young and can work our own, aren't we? I feel that the Admiral has an obligation to help the shipwreck with any trouble. ”
"Friend, you're an amazing person. You'll make a great admiral, I'm sure of it. ”
"So are you."
Turning enemies into friends is a happy ending for all. As a nobleman, Cato may be arrogant or even a little arrogant, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach him, but this does not negate the excellent qualities in him. Xu Zhonglin now feels that he underestimated him. As long as the strength can be recognized by him, this is actually a good guy.
Sure enough, after going back, the news came that Xu Zhonglin and these students were also received by Governor Bamond.
Alessandro Bamond was a legendary admiral who was in his eighties. can still have a teenage daughter, which makes Xu Zhonglin have some speculation about the 'old king next door'. But after seeing the appearance of the other party in his twenties, he felt very magical. Although his appearance is young, his expression is very domineering, especially a pair of eyes, eagle and wolf, and his eyes are very sharp. His voice was hoarse and low, with the smell of iron and blood.
"Very well, lads, I'm happy with your performance. So, I have decided to give you some rewards, and I think you should be honored by them, and I hope that in the future, you will honor me. Okay, let's go back and prepare. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, vigorously and resolutely.
Xu Zhonglin, Cato and the other three students who participated in the battle did not dare to come out of the atmosphere below, this kind of aura was too powerful. Although Xu Zhonglin's mind was unimpressed, his body was uncontrollable and a little nervous. This made him feel very fresh, and he wanted to catch up and ask the other party: big brother! Do you have your own aura? Which skills to learn? Of course, there is a high probability that it will be chopped up and fed to the fish after asking.
Arch-Admiral Bamond is not arrogant, and the contract room of the Canary Islands Governor's Mansion is indeed much better than that of the Academy. This is mainly reflected in the fit between the admiral and the ship's mother after the contract.
No matter where the contract is, the Admiral and the ship's mother will have telepathy when they see it. But if it's the low-end of the academy, the telepathic distance may only be a few kilometers at first. This distance will slowly increase over time, but it will take time.
The contract room on the side of the Canary Islands Governor's Mansion is different, and it can keep telepathy at tens of kilometers from the beginning.
This kind of thing doesn't seem to have much effect, because the ship mother and the ship mother can also contact each other and pass on news. In fact, otherwise, between the ship mother and the ship mother, there can only be a single line of contact at the same time, and telepathy is multi-directional, and the admiral can transmit news to all the ship girls of the contract at the same time, as long as there is an idea in the heart, the ship mother will know immediately. It has great strategic value on the rapidly changing battlefield.
