The interrogatorship was held early the next morning, and the scene was very depressing, and everyone was very serious.

Only a certain joker watched the two shipwives on the jury keep drooling, one of them was about 1.68 meters tall, with chestnut hair, baby face, thin eyebrows, deep facial features, and particularly plump lips, this is Elena. The other has blonde hair, slightly raised eyebrows, melon seed face, and a cherry mouth, this is Margaret.

Capreyla had already introduced him to two ship mothers just now, these two were originally Queen Elena-class battleships and Queen Margaret-class battleships. Margaret's attitude towards him was quite good, it turned out that she was actually the sister of Teacher Benito Brynn, and Teacher Bryn often praised a certain Admiral in front of her. The other ship's wife, Elena, was not very clear, very polite, but very distant.

Teresa sat aside and couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch him: "Admiral, pay attention." ”

I saw Garibaldi ask very majestically: "Costa, are you pleading guilty?!" ”

I asked three times in a row, but no one answered, and everyone's eyes looked over.

I saw Costa standing quietly below, motionless, as if he had passed away, which made Xu Zhonglin want to go up and set a fire, maybe the remaining ashes could be pulled twice casually to have relics.

Garibaldi struck the hammer hard before Costa reacted and defended himself in despair: "I'm not wrong! I left Major Rossi because his battleship was too slow to make it back, and I didn't have much strength at the time, so I couldn't give him too many battleships. ”

"Then you have superior forces, but you are afraid to fight against two Bismarck-class battleships, what do you say?"

"I was trying to stall for time, and the Tripoli side told me that they would fly the plane in the early hours of the morning and give us air support as soon as it was dawn."

"And what about you leaving your companions and running away in the end?"

Costa suddenly turned his head, pointed at Xu Zhonglin and yelled, "That's me who fell for it!" The other party cleaned up the reconnaissance ship I sent with a light cruiser, and I was deceived! This is all Xu Zhonglin! I asked him to support me, and he brought four expulsions, and if he had brought the remaining dozen or so ships over at that time, how could I not have noticed? He also disobeyed orders and tried to stall for time! Finally, I came late to help! I asked him to lead the lightning strike and block the opponent's battle patrol, and he also rejected me, it's all his fault! It's all him! ”

Garibaldi raised his eyes and looked at someone: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zhonglin, what do you say?" ”

Such a good opportunity to pretend, how could someone miss it?

"Lieutenant Admiral, I was fighting against eighteen cruisers with five cruisers, one destroyer, and in the face of three times my strength, it was a fluke that I was able to repel the other side, and I was almost completely annihilated, and there were Austro-Hungarian submarines around my battlefield at that time, and later the Second Fleet also sank two of them. I was injured, bleeding profusely from my thigh, very weak, in fact, my concussion is still not healed. I personally led the four destroyers that supported Colonel Costa, and it was already the largest force I could draw on. ”

Xu Zhonglin said a little exaggerated, but the big coercion technique was successful again, and someone saw Margaret and Elena pointing at her with his spare eyes, and whispering, he was very excited in his heart, but his face was fearless: "Colonel Costa finally ordered me to lead the lightning strike, but my second fleet only has four ship girls, and I can't command others, and besides, the torpedo tubes of the four ship girls have been damaged, so they can't lightning strike." I had already reported this to Colonel Costa a long time ago. If I had the ability to do it at that time, I would have bought time for the main fleet, but unfortunately, I really tried my best. ”

Garibaldi nodded: "Well, you sit down first, and now it is decided that Colonel Costa made a mistake in judgment and killed his colleagues, and that he delayed the fighter plane, resulting in heavy losses in the Heroic Tsuk fleet, and after review, it was decided to expel him from the army." Lieutenant Colonel Koh Chung Lun was loyal and brave, and was promoted to colonel in charge of the defense of Hammetsuke, and Captain Lisa Gratini was promoted to lieutenant colonel to assist in the defense ......"

Xu Zhonglin listened carefully, and almost all the rest were promoted. I have to say that Comrade Costa sacrificed well.

After the verdict was announced, Xu Zhonglin and Lisa were left alone by Garibaldi.

"This time, I will leave behind an aircraft carrier, two battleships, and two battle cruisers, all of which are the most elite. There are also five heavy cruisers, all of which are heavy cruisers of the same Des Moines-class hull as Colonel Xu's heavy cruisers, and other warships will also be replenished to your original level. My request is simple, I must hold this place! If you have any requests, you can ask them now, and I will try to accommodate you. ”

Xu Zhonglin raised his hand: "Our destroyers are obviously not as fast as the other party's, and the tonnage gap is also very large, can we transfer a group of ships with more advanced hulls to come over?" ”

Garibaldi shook his head: "No, in fact, what I have added to you is that I escaped from the Gärgane Islands." So you need to figure it out for yourselves. ”

Someone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a thief's light flashed: "Then can I choose a batch of destroyers from the side of Haomait Suke, become my own personal ship, and then refit it." ”

The heroic lieutenant general frowned: "This is not in accordance with the rules." ”

There's a play! Someone was not directly refused, so he was naturally bolder: "Look, I don't ask for it in vain, I have a share of more than 20,000 tons of cruisers at the Naval Academy, how about you help me change to a torpedo boat here?" As long as you promise, I promise to keep this place solid until the end of the day. ”

What is the purpose of Xu Zhonglin's coming to the army? Isn't it just the wool of socialism? The big guy let himself make a request, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The big guy glared at someone fiercely: "You have a good calculation, the quota of 20,000 tons of cruisers, at most two good recruits, but you want twenty veterans of a hundred battles with me." Do you think there is such a cheap thing in the world? ”

"You are accommodating, I only have this one request! Besides, I'm not completely selfish, Austria-Hungary has a lot of influence here, and I'm really powerless. "Someone spreads his hands and starts to sell cuteness.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll give you a place for four ships."

Sure enough, the big guy couldn't speak, and someone could only come up with a big trick: "You're too stingy, even if I get four Roman captain-class cruisers from the academy, that's the fastest cruiser!" ”

"Okay, I'll give you eight, it's all right!"

"Ten! Fixed price! ”

Garibaldi was laughed at by the shamelessness of a certain admiral: "Hehe, you are here to talk to me about business." ”

Someone rubbed his hands: "You see, the torpedo boats here can only be used for patrolling, in fact, the role is not very large, they are all small broken ships of 1,000 tons, after I changed it, it is also to serve the empire." I've already lost a lot of money. ”

"Oh? Is it a big loss? It's really a spirit of sacrifice, but how can I hear Caprela say that as long as you rub your hands, it shows that you have cheated someone, although it is very heartbroken on the surface, in fact, it is very happy in the heart. ”

it! Teacher, you're selling students! That's embarrassing. But at this time, you can't retreat, you must have a thick skin, so someone said: "This is a win-win!" It's all for the country! ”

"Haha, okay, I promised you. But I warn you, if you can't, you're dead! ”
