After tearing his face, Xu Zhonglin lost his previous deference, he leaned back on the sofa and looked at Garibaldi: "You know, it's just a piece of dog's head gold, I'm from the Eastern Empire, do you think I'll be rare?" ”

Garibaldi frowned, obviously she didn't expect Xu Zhonglin to say this, the little guy's words made her a little uncomfortable, Italy is a strong country anyway, she doesn't know why this Oriental is so disdainful: "I can provide you with the drawings of the Veneto-class battleship for free, as well as the drawings of the aircraft carrier Aquila!" ”

"Haha! You underestimate my status as a battleship designer! Xu Zhonglin beckoned, and the soul girl took out a drawing from the bookshelf and handed it to Garibaldi: "Look at it, this is the glorious level of the British." I already have it, and I've made some improvements. As for the Veneto class, it's just mixed up in the Mediterranean, and it's not easy to use in the Indian Ocean, right? ”

Someone has a hellish pocket watch, what drawings don't? Garibaldi was selling kitchen knives to the blacksmith and was looking in the wrong direction. The glorious sketch was, of course, drawn by Xu Zhonglin himself, and he only wanted to tell Garibaldi that his relationship with Britain was closer than she thought.

Garibaldi obviously didn't expect Xu Zhonglin to be so tough, she didn't expect that what the average admiral dreams of Xu Zhonglin actually refused without hesitation: "It's useless to sink me, the policy of the military department will not change." I can go talk to those North African factions, don't you like these two ship girls? How about letting them go with you? ”

Before Xu Zhonglin could speak, Margaret stopped: "Hehe, when can you decide whether I go or stay?" Who am I willing to follow out of my own volition, does it have anything to do with you? Amusing! ”

Elena also sarcastically said: "I haven't been in contact for many years, Garibaldi, you have become too arrogant, I advise you, don't take yourself too seriously." ”

The big guy was slapped in the face!

Garibaldi is experienced in the end, and he was sprayed on the face: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to refuse before I came, but we really need this batch of resources." In fact, any bit of resources are precious these days. Lady Catherine had already promised to give most of the resources she had received this time to the Ministry of War. Your share of the military department will not give up, so, let's be straight, what do you want? ”

Xu Zhonglin is actually very distressed, none of this is in his plan, but if he really sinks Garibaldi, everyone will scatter, he will not get anything, and he will definitely offend Italy to death, for him with this current strength, it is almost equivalent to death.

So he thought for a while and said: "You can take ninety percent of the resources, my benefits are not only my own, this time all the admirals involved in Haomait Suke have a share, you go to talk to them, you must ensure that everyone is willing." ”

"Don't worry, I won't treat them badly. Let's talk about you. ”

Before Xu Zhonglin could speak, the soul returning girl shouted: "No! Admiral, we need this resource! "As the Admiral's secretary ship, of course the ship girls know the Admiral's plan, this resource is used to renovate their ship hull and develop the large and small Nicobar Islands, if they are handed over, the Admiral's plan will be delayed for at least four or five years. There will be no such God-given opportunity in the future.

The goddess of wisdom also advised him: "Admiral, it is better to think carefully. ”

Xu Zhonglin waved his hand, he looked around, looked at each of the ship maidens of Margaret, Elena, the Soul Resurrection Girl, and the Goddess of Wisdom, and then looked at Garibaldi and solemnly put forward his request: "I ask for the restoration of the honors of the four of them." ”

The four shipwives were all 'North African', and they were all sanctioned after the 'Taranto riots', and they were robbed of all their ranks, status, and glory. There are still many people in the North African faction who have been sanctioned, and Xu Zhonglin can't control them, but he wants the four around him to be recognized by the military department.

Garibaldi exclaimed: "This can't be! Do you know what you're talking about?! ”

"Why can't it be? You know, they're just scapegoats for Taranto, and I'm not trying to overturn the case. Now that the purpose of your Middle East faction has been achieved, and you also said that there are difficulties in the supply of resources at present, and there must be many difficulties in other places. There are still many North African factions who did not participate in this war. Why can't they be given a chance? It's just a matter of restoring their reputations, and it's not going to cost you. Wouldn't it be nice for them all to come back and contribute to this country, I think they would be willing even if they died, and unite all the forces that can be united? ”

The four shipwives were overwhelmed with emotion, and they all looked at Garibaldi with some expectation.

His Excellency the Lieutenant General thought for a while, and some of the expectations Ai Ai: "Wait a minute, I need to communicate!" ”

Elena sneered, "Worthy of Cavour and Julio Caesar's dog." ”

Garibaldi didn't say anything, just sat there motionless with his eyes closed.

Xu Zhonglin was nervous, maybe the next moment Garibaldi would open his eyes and reject him. If that's the case, he can only hold the other party hostage and run away.

The four ship mothers of the goddess of wisdom were more nervous than him. The Admiral paid such a large price for their reputation, and the Goddess of Wisdom did not know if the other sisters would have an opinion, nor did she know if it would be realized. But she instinctively wanted to refuse the Admiral's suggestion. But his mouth opened, but he couldn't say anything, and so did the other three ship's mothers.

As prototype ships, they all have their own memories, born in the country of Italy, with a sense of affinity and identity. Italy is their mother, and who wants to be abandoned by their own mother?

After a long time, Garibaldi opened his eyes, and the moment of fate had finally arrived!

"Elena and Margaret were reinstated as retired generals, given back all honors, and demoted to three levels if they wanted to return to the army. The Goddess of Wisdom and the Resurrection Lady were restored to the title of Honorary Dean of the Livorno Naval Academy, restored to the rank of Commodore and reinstated to enjoy the treatment of Vice Admiral. When Garibaldi said this, it was tantamount to agreeing to Xu Zhonglin's conditions.

The Goddess of Wisdom, the Soul Resurrection, and Margaret immediately hugged each other and wept with joy.

Only Elena said coldly: "Lieutenant General, please send my general's uniform and those medals as soon as possible after you go back!" ”

Garibaldi's arrogant words made Garibaldi angry, but now that he was a general and a retired man, she had to answer: "Yes, sir!" ”

Margaret also looked up: "And mine!" ”

The Goddess of Wisdom and the Soul Returning Girl also reacted: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, we will submit a resignation report in a few days, and the treatment of Lieutenant General will not be necessary." ”

Now Xu Zhonglin understood that Elena and Margaret begged for a general's uniform, which meant that they would not return to the army. It is also a reason for the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of resurrection to push away the treatment of lieutenant generals.

Xu Zhonglin, who was surprised, went up and hugged Elena, lifted the other party up, and turned around: "Really? Not going back to the army? ”

"Ah~ let me down!" Elena was caught off guard and a little overwhelmed.

"Answer me."

"Yes, not going back to the army!"

Someone was overjoyed, put down Elena, felt that it was not enjoyable, and held the other party's face in excitement and kissed it on the forehead: "Ahaha, great! ”

Unexpectedly, a basin of cold water was splashed: "Hmph! Does not returning to the army mean that I want to go with you? Flatter yourself! ”

However, the figure of fleeing in embarrassment still betrayed some of Elena's inner thoughts.

Tsundere! Write it down in a small notebook first, and you will definitely spank it in the future, just like Teresa!
