When Xu Zhonglin woke up in the morning, he almost didn't spray as soon as he opened his eyes.

Freya stood beside him with her intellectual pink hair in a bun, looking like she was facing a great enemy, and she was wearing a sexy maid outfit that Rena didn't have time to wear.

"Admiral...... You...... You're awake. The face wash is ready, but breakfast may have to wait a while. ”

"When did you come?"

"It's been half an hour." The girl didn't seem to be in high spirits.

"I said it casually yesterday, you don't have to care, if you can't do it, let someone else come."

The girl's voice trembled and trembled when she spoke, and she was obviously very uncomfortable. It was the first time Xu Zhonglin had seen her so nervous, even if she was captured, she was only depressed. He didn't want to force the ship's mother next to him.

"Ah, I'll try! Please believe me, Admiral! ”

As she spoke, the girl picked up the clothes next to her and prepared to put them on for him, maybe with too much force, and the clothes were directly torn open by her.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm going to get you a new one. ”

"No, I remember the one I wore yesterday was very clean. Just wear that. ”

Freya's face turned red for a moment: "I'm sorry...... I just burned it. ”

"Girl, what do you want me to say? How many accidents I don't know are told together, don't worry, I can stand it! ”

"Uh...... It's gone, it's gone. ”

Even Xu Zhonglin had to admit that Freya's stupid and cute appearance was really cute, and it was very natural, and it was completely without the pretentiousness that Barcelisa pretended to be crazy and cute before.

"Didn't you get good at tongue and embarrassment before? I remember what you were best at was dying with your enemies when you were fighting. How did you change the character? ”

"Where? I just wanted to prove that I was smarter than Venus! ”

Well, this sentence will make another goddess of love vomit blood. Fortunately, Louise, who was working as a secretary, came in and rescued her.

Xu Zhonglin couldn't help frowning when he heard Louise's report. The Germans' lose-lose style of play was simply too ruthless.

He did not know for what purpose the British came here voluntarily. But he was sure that the French and Italian admirals were definitely not 'volunteers'. For example, Cato came here to gild, and he, Lisa, and Lily came here to earn resources and expand the size of the fleet.

Last night they had a good record, not only did they not let the Germans enter Scarpa Bay to lay submarines, but they also sank one and got a 1,500-ton submarine core. There was no major damage to himself, except that Cato's shipwright, Regollo, hit a mine while cruising, and due to the timely rescue, he finally returned to port safely.

But this is not profitable at all, and the value of the fuel resources consumed by the more than fifty warships that patrolled non-stop last night is enough to buy this core. But they have to face the threat of mines all the time, and the gains are not proportional to the risks.

But they were lucky, the French lost a total of nine ships last night, and five were seriously damaged. Although they claimed to have sunk more than 30 submarines, they only got 23 cores, the battle loss ratio was close to 1:2, and the channel was covered with mines, and it is said that they had all retreated from Westerre Island to the next door, which can be described as a huge loss.

Xu Zhonglin believed that there were certainly not a few admirals who had the same purpose as him. If the Germans had continued to play like this, the volunteers in France and Italy would have retreated. At least if the British don't come up with a practical and effective solution in the next few days, he plans to take his ship and run away, and it would be shameful to be a deserter, but he doesn't think that he is a soldier of the British, and it would be even more stupid to stay and be a gun and a target. There was no need for him to dedicate his possessions to the defense of the British homeland.

"What did the British say?"

Louise pulled her hair sensibly, and she entered her role before Freya: "The English have called us to meet this afternoon at Balver Harbor on the island of Sharpsay, very close to us, opposite Kirkwall. Cato and they went to catch up on sleep, and we planned to have lunch over. ”

"How's the gopher demining going?"

The new secretary smiled bitterly: "Anne has already sent a plane to help find and detonate the drifting mine." But there is no good way to anchor mines underwater, the Germans are more familiar with the hydrological characteristics of this area than we are, and the depth of the anchor mines is very deadly. We don't have a very good way at the moment, and in and out of the port, large warships go ahead and use the hull to demine, and then small warships. It's very troublesome. ”

There are many types of mines, some of which float on the surface of the sea and drift with the current, while others lurk underwater. The detonation method is also different, some are magnetic adsorption type, the hull of the battleship is metal, and when passing by, it will automatically produce suction force on the mines to absorb nearby mines, and then detonate. Some are acoustic fuses, and the mines will 'listen' to the sound of the propellers of the surrounding battleships, and when they hear it, they will automatically detonate. There are more difficult hydrostatic mines, the pressure of the liquid is not the same when it is stationary and flowing, this kind of mine can distinguish the water pressure when the battleship is sailing, as long as it senses this water pressure, it will explode, and it is impossible to prevent it.

For the drifting mine, Anne and the others can send carrier-based planes to search around, and then detonate it with aerial bombs at any cost, but they can't do anything about the mines under the water.

"! Another big expense! If we continue to consume like this, we will go bankrupt. ”

Louise nodded, "Yes, Admiral." We don't have much in reserve. ”

"Find a way to dispose of the goods looted some time ago, and the captured hostages contact Germany as soon as possible, so that they can find a way to ransom them!"

"The threatening letters have been sent out one after another, and presumably all of them should have arrived in Germany by now. Someone should come and ransom people in the next few days. ”

"This is not enough, when Cato wakes up, you inform him, let him talk to the Italian and French admirals, and when the meeting is in the afternoon, we will unite to blackmail the British, and extort a sum of money. I don't want to die when the epitaph reads: An Oriental Empireman, who came to England thousands of miles away, did not benefit himself or others. I'm a pure person who can never get rid of low tastes. ”

"Haha, okay, I'll make a note of it."

"By the way, since we have a lot of aircraft carriers, you can send a message to ask the French by the way, do you need us to help them clear mines, remember that if they need it, just let Anne send a few planes over to fly around, don't really waste ammunition." The family is poor, and the favor of the water also has to save costs. ”

Louise, who has never been in contact with the Admiral, finally knows what a black belly is, Admiral, can't we have no friends if we do this?
