Elena and Margaret operated the hull of the ship to paddle the waves, sandwiching a battered cruiser in the middle, one left and one right. The cruiser, half-sunk, was slow and was moving little by little towards the shallows under the tow of a destroyer.

This is the same ship of the cruiser Savoya, and when she saw that someone had come to save her first, the ship's mother, Savoya, stood on the deck and shouted at Elena: "Sister! Leave me alone, go and save Alphonda Tol first! ”

Alphonda Tor, one of her Admiral's battleship counterparts, is now paralyzed a little farther out in the sea.

It is a tacit understanding that the priority rescue value is higher. Elena and Margaret naturally knew, but Xu Zhonglin told them to save the ship girl closest to the coast, and they could only do so.

"Savoya, control the ship's hull damage management with peace of mind. I can still hold on! Afonda Tol's voice sounded calm and calm.

The communication that the ship's mother only saw reached Xu Zhonglin's ears through Catherine's report, which reminded him of the loveliest group of people in "The Assembly". The friendship between comrades-in-arms is common in any world.

Alexandrovna didn't know much about Xu Zhonglin's style of doing things: "Admiral, why don't you save that battleship first?" ”

"I always think, whether it's a destroyer, a cruiser or a battleship. Since everyone is a ship mother, it is an intelligent life that can speak, think, and cooperate. Then you should be equal, there is no first come and last in the level of life, and each one is unique and precious. Saving Savoya should simply be the closest to her shore. ”

Catherine shook her head: "No, Admiral, you are wrong. There is no equality between the shipwives, and Afonda Toll is more valuable. If one day, we encounter this situation, please give up on me and save Anne, Athena, and Alicia first. ”

Mao Mei is so upright, she means that aircraft carriers are more valuable than battleships, so save the aircraft carrier first. The subconscious meaning is that if she is injured at the same time as Sissi, you must save her first.

Maybe people who have been big guys are so cold and ruthless in their hearts, and they can use the simplest numerical comparison to avoid disadvantages in everything. So it was with Elena, and so it was with Ekaterina. But Xu Zhonglin, as a traverser, has never been able to accept this.

The urgency of the situation is not a good time to argue about the philosophical question of which is more important, freedom or equality.

Savoya is closer, rescue her first to test the U-boat's reaction, if the U-boat dares to fire torpedoes at them, it will reveal its position, Elena and Margaret are strong, it will not be easy to sink. This would also prevent a reckless entry into the deep waters, and it is not yet known if there were mines around Afondator, and rushing through them could cause more casualties. Is this explanation sufficient? ”

Xu Zhonglin was just perfunctory, but he didn't expect the two hairy girls to look at him with admiration: "You are really an excellent commander, you can still be calm and calm at this critical moment, I have to say that the command ability of human beings is indeed much better than that of our ship, and you consider the problem from a more comprehensive perspective." ”

Without waiting for him to explain, the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly.

"Port side, four torpedoes!"

Elena's mournful voice resounded through the night sky.

"Don't care, I can handle it, go and deal with that submarine!"

In the end, she was the one who had been a big man, and Elena was not chaotic in the face of danger, and unceremoniously took over the command of the other admirals, commanding several ships that had already entered the sea and had anti-submarine capabilities to deal with the enemy first.

Xu Zhonglin's heart suddenly tensed.

Elena could only move at eight knots for now, and she couldn't dodge the threat of the Savoya. This meant that she had no way to dodge the torpedo.

What does the torpedo fired by the U-boat mean?

In Xu Zhonglin's original world, German submarines in World War II sank a total of 15 million tons of various ships, including the aircraft carrier Brave, the battleship Royal Oak, the aircraft carrier Ark Royal, the battleship Barham, the aircraft carrier Audacity, the aircraft carrier Avenger, the aircraft carrier Brooke Island, the aircraft carrier Magistrate, and the aircraft carrier Lord...... Each shining name is the soul of these sea wolves.

Will Elena be able to handle it?

Time seemed to stand still, Xu Zhonglin's hand clung to the railing, his eyes fixed on the sea.

An explosion sounded, and Elena's hull shook violently, and a huge splash exploded on the port side. This was followed by a second explosion and a third......

"Elena! Elena! Talk back! Xu Zhonglin shouted with supplication in the depths of his heart

One second, two seconds...... Ten seconds...... Thirty seconds seemed like thousands of years had passed.

Just when Xu Zhonglin's heart was about to sink, a voice finally came:

"I'm fine, Admiral. Reported to the Admiral, the battleship Elena was hit by three torpedoes on the port side, fortunately the Pleser underwater defense system worked, the hull was moderately broken, and the water ingress was about 600 tons, and it was being damaged with all its might, and I could still fight. ”

Elena dutifully sent out a formulaic battle damage report.

Xu Zhonglin didn't want to hear this at all, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

For the first time, the tsundere ship girl replied to him in a slightly aggrieved voice: "It hurts, I was torpedoed for the first time, it really hurts, I want to eat ice cream when I go back!" ”

"Okay, I'll ask Sissi to make you a big bowl!"

What else can be said at this time? In addition to being distressed, Xu Zhonglin can no longer feel other emotions.

"Really? That's great! Ah, the port torpedo! Six shots! ”

!

Xu Zhonglin felt like he was going crazy: "Give up, Elena, I order you to give up and do evasive actions!" ”

Part of the Prisese underwater protection system has already been partially ineffective, and with such a low speed, such a dense number of torpedoes, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Admiral, I can still fight! Trust me. ”

He was answered with a firmer word.

Xu Zhonglin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, he only felt that he was going crazy, if time could be turned back, he would never let Elena and Margaret help.

Just when his mind was blank, a voice came from behind him: "All go to the flank dock to summon the hull, and be sure to suppress all the submarines in the harbor in the shortest possible time!" ”

Lisa Gratini stepped forward at the critical moment, and the down-and-out aristocratic lady knew that the current Far Eastern Lion Cub had lost the calm that a commander should have, so she took the initiative to take responsibility and asked her ship's wife to help.

Xu Zhonglin didn't hear the words of the down-and-out aristocratic lady at all, he just stared at the sea as closely as he did just now, and the six torpedoes rushed towards Elena in the waves under the illumination of the searchlight, as if sounding the death knell of death, so that he couldn't hear any sound.

At this moment, despising all ghosts and gods, he felt that he had faith, and in the depths of his heart he prayed to God for Elena's safety.

God seemed to have heard his prayer, and a torpedo was hit directly by Elena's secondary cannon, exploding a huge column of water. But God seemed to be a not very good teammate, and he could only help him get here, and the other five torpedoes still rushed towards Elena.

What is the fate of the tsundere girl?
