Chapter 31: Yamato Hotel
Holding the card, Liu Jianming stood at the gate of the Naval Academy.
It's 8 a.m. on Saturday, the weekend of the following week when Liu Jianming met Commander Kagawa. Liu Jianming stood at the door of the Naval Academy at this time, hesitating whether to walk in like this. After all, one of his goals is to find a way to infiltrate the Naval Academy to obtain information, and now is undoubtedly a godsend. It is naturally impossible to say that Liu Jianming is not a little moved, but a 16-year-old ordinary boy blends into the enemy's base camp like this? Liu Jianming didn't dare to guarantee whether he could accomplish what he wanted to achieve in it. Just when Liu Jianming was standing in place and thinking, he was suddenly slapped on the back.
"Yo, Jianming." The person behind her was Maya, and she patted Liu Jianming's shoulder with a smile, "Come in, everyone is still waiting for you." β
"Everyone?" Liu Jianming stood in place and was still hesitating, but Maya had already pushed Liu Jianming to the doorman, and then took the card in Liu Jianming's hand and handed it directly to the guard. The guard was stunned when he saw the card, and then dialed a phone number, and after a short exchange, the doorman hung up the phone and made a "please pass" gesture to Liu Jianming.
"You may go in, sir, and wait a little at the door, and someone will come to meet you shortly."
Maya grinned and pushed Liu Jianming across the aisle and into the interior of the Naval Academy. Maya only nodded to the doorman when he entered, and the doorman didn't stop him. Before Liu Jianming could gain a firm foothold after walking in the door, he found that there were already two people he knew waiting for him in front of the door.
"Hehehe, it's a pleasure to see you again, classmate Liu Jianming."
"I'm sorry, sister, she kept saying yesterday that she picked you up at the door today, I don't know if this matter has caused you trouble."
The people at the door are Atago and Chokai.
"No, no, I feel much more relaxed when you guys come." Liu Jianming responded to the two with a smile. "Could it be that the doorman just said that the person who picked me up is...?"
"No, we're not." Maya smiled and shook her hand, "We just wanted to come and see you, it's a special person in charge of receiving you, but I've probably guessed the identity of those people, they are all very good people." You should be able to see them after a little while. β
Several people stood in front of the door and waited together, Maya had been talking to Liu Jianming with high interest, Torikai kept trying to stop Maya from making some excessive movements, and Atago kept smiling at the group of people in front of him for some reason. After about 15 minutes, the waiting person finally appeared.
"Ah, here they are." Maya saw the figure in the distance and said to the crowd. Liu Jianming also looked over, although the facial contours were not very clear, but the two people who came here made Liu Jianming feel extremely familiar in terms of appearance and dress. The two walked in front of a group of people, and several women automatically backed back, putting Liu Jianming at the front of the crowd. The two stood in front of Liu Jianming and bowed to him slightly.
"First meeting, I'm Akagi who is in charge of receiving you, please advise."
"First time we met, I'm Kaga, who is in charge of receiving you, please advise."
"Uh, first meeting." Liu Jianming couldn't help but bow to the two, "I'm Liu Jianming, ah, please advise." Liu Jianming saw that the two were a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say, Maya behind him saw Liu Jianming's embarrassment and smiled, and kept patting Liu Jianming's back.
"Jianming, I see that you are usually not afraid of heaven and earth, it turns out that you will also have this kind of tense moment, hahaha."
I'm not nervous, I'm excited! Liu Jianming kept defending in his heart, his wife was empty! Countless admirals' self-γ objects! Of course I'm excited!
Of course, Liu Jianming didn't think it was a good idea to express this emotion, so he decided to pretend to be nervous and greet the two.
"Akagi and Kaga? Can I call you Akagi-sensei and Kaga-sensei? I don't know why, but as soon as I saw the two of them, I thought it was more appropriate. β
The two thought for a moment and nodded.
"This title is very good, please call me that in the future, Liu Jun."
"Teacher? Sounds good. β
As Liu Jianming communicated with the two, the expressionless faces of the two eased slightly, although Kaga still had that cold appearance, but Liu Jianming knew from the beginning that Kaga was a mouthless person, and he didn't care much. Maya and others behind Liu Jianming saw that Akagi and Kaga had arrived, and they also said goodbye to Liu Jianming separately.
"Come on, Jianming, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Liu Jianming, please don't disappoint Sister Maya."
"Liu Jianming, if you succeed, I'll play with you again pocky_game yo."
Maya and the others waved goodbye to Liu Jianming, and Liu Jianming waved his hand in response although he was a little puzzled. Looking back, Liu Jianming found that Akagi was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
βpocky_gameοΌ What's that? β
"Ah, it's nothing, please don't care." Liu Jianming shrugged, "Then again, what do Akagi-sensei and Kaga-sensei need to take me to do?" To be honest, I don't have a clue at all. β
"Haven't you heard anything about it?" Akagi looked at Liu Jianming suspiciously, "When the Admiral gave you that card, didn't he tell you what that card meant?" β
"She said that if she wanted to come to see the Navy, she would come with this card, so that I could see enough, and she didn't tell me anything else." Liu Jianming spread his hands, "Maya, they told me that this card is a green pass, and with this card, you can directly enter the Naval Academy if you pass some basic tests." But seriously, I don't have a real sense of that. β
"Worthy of the Admiral." Kaga sighed, "There's never a beginning or an end to doing things. β
"That's exactly what that guy would do." Akagi also smiled bitterly and sighed, "Maya, what they said is not wrong, and there is no problem with you understanding it this way." β
"That means I'm going to take a test?" Liu Jianming shook his head, "I received this card last week, and I have been attending the regular class next door in the middle, and I came here today because of the weekend break, I don't think I am prepared, whether it is physical or psychological." β
"You don't have to be so nervous, Liu Jun." Akagi smiled at Liu Jianming, "This card has omitted most of the troublesome steps in the admission process, and you only need to pass some basic tests." I trust the Admiral's judgment and she won't give cards to someone who can't pass the test, so don't worry. β
"You don't have to worry about admission." Kaga, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Even if you pass the test, you can choose whether to enroll or not, in fact, you can even postpone your enrollment, as long as the Admiral allows." β
"Well, it looks like there's no reason why I shouldn't take the test." Liu Jianming made a surrender, "So what should I do now, go directly to the test?" β
"Of course you can do it if you insist, Liu Jun, but my reservation is to take you around first, do you want to visit?"
"Of course." Liu Jianming nodded, "I came here to see the battleship, but I really didn't think too much about that test." β
"That's great." Akagi and Kaga turned around, "Please follow me, Liu Jun." β
"So, what do you want to visit first? Teaching facilities, or ships? β
"Ships, of course." Liu Jianming shrugged, "Teaching facilities or something, if I choose to enroll, then there is already time to get acquainted." β
"Well, please go this way." The two led Liu Jianming through several buildings and finally came to the port.
"Wow." Liu Jianming looked at the huge warships in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim. The harbor was moored with several warships, ranging from large battleships with guns that could fit into a man, destroyers with several torpedo launchers, and, of course, aircraft carriers with flight decks. Liu Jianming was very interested in the warships of World War II because of the ship's mother, and he was even more excited to look at these behemoths in front of him.
"Want to go up and have a look?" Chicheng saw the desire in Liu Jianming's eyes and asked him in a low voice.
"Yes!" Liu Jianming replied without thinking about it. Akagi smiled and put a hand on his shoulder and asked him, "So, which ship would you like to see?" β
"That one!" Liu Jianming pointed his finger at a ship without hesitation, "I want to see the biggest one!" β
The direction that Liu Jianming's finger pointed at was a huge monster. The most conspicuous part of the ship was, of course, three powerful 460-mm triple-mounted guns, and a dense pile of secondary guns on either side of the ship. That is the ultimate product of the cannon giant ship doctrine, the battleship Yamato.
"Aiming at Yamato as soon as you come up? What a good vision, Liu Jun. Akagi walked in the direction of Yamato, "Then, please come with me." β
Liu Jianming followed Akagi and Kaga up the boarding ladder that led to the Yamato deck. At the end of the ladder, Liu Jianming found another familiar figure waiting there.
Sure enough, I should have thought about it from the beginning. Liu Jianming couldn't help but sigh and looked at the ponytail woman in front of him who had "Indecent Law Authority" written on a pair of stockings.
"Hello, would you like to visit Yamato? Then please come with me. The big sister with the umbrella bowed to Liu Jianming.
"Oh, hello." Liu Jianming couldn't help but bow in return, and suddenly felt that it would be too abnormal if he didn't ask at all, so he pretended to know about this matter for the first time and asked Akagi, "Teacher Akagi, I want to ask, I have seen several women here, what do these women do?" β
"I can't tell you the details yet, I'm sorry." Akagi explained to Liu Jianming in a tone that he had almost memorized, "You may have noticed that almost all of us women are named after battleships, and there are some reasons behind this. If you make it to the Naval Academy, maybe we'll have a chance to explain it to you. β
"I see, that's it." Liu Jianming pretended not to understand at all but insisted on feeling and understood, and directly ignored the past. "So, should I call this young lady Yamato?"
"Absolutely." Yamato suddenly stood up straight and gave a naval salute to Liu Jianming, "Yamato-type battleship, No. 1 ship, Yamato." Participate! β
After finishing speaking, Yamato returned to his original gentle big sister appearance, "Please come with me, Liu Jun." β
Under the guidance of the ship's mother, Liu Jianming began to visit this large warship, from the deck to the inside of the cabin, Liu Jianming visited a lot of places, and on the way to visit, the ship's mother Yamato also gave some explanations to Liu Jianming.
ββ¦β¦ Pay attention there, there is a canteen, which is also divided into five categories: the cooking room for the commander and the captain, the cooking room for the first non-commissioned officer, the cooking room for the second non-commissioned officer, the cooking room for the brigadier non-commissioned officer, and the cooking room for the soldiers. Doesn't it feel amazing......
ββ¦β¦ The machine over there is an ice cream machine, and you can't imagine that ice cream can be eaten inside the battleship. Come, I'll make one for you, do you want to eat it......"
ββ¦β¦ See that freezer? Freezers like these add up to more than 223.4 cubic meters, and the crew can eat fresh-preserved food at any time......"
ββ¦β¦ This is the crew bedroom on the ship, how about it, doesn't it feel very comfortable, the average living area of this ship is 3.32 square meters......"
ββ¦β¦ See the stage over there? Once guests are entertained here, there will be an orchestra playing on it. Of course, the orchestra is standard on this battleship......"
"That, Yamato-sama." Liu Jianming spoke up to stop Yamato from continuing to introduce the equipment on the ship, "You just introduced me to things like the cafeteria, kitchen, bedroom, ice bully machine, and even a stage and orchestra...... Isn't this really a hotel? β
After listening to Liu Jianming's evaluation of the battleship, Yamato still had a smile on his face, but there were already green tendons on his face. She clenched her fists and slammed them against the wall, making a very violent dull sound.
"I even said it was a hotel, just... Not really! β
The visit to Yamato was over. Yamato, the ship's mother, took Liu Jianming back to the boarding ladder, and Akagi and Kaga led Liu Jianming back to the ground without saying a word. When the group left Yamato for some distance, Kaga accosted Liu Jianming.
"What did you do to Yamato, she seemed a little unhappy."
"Nothing, I just said that the ship looks like a hotel." Liu Jianming shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent attitude.
And Akagi responded with exclamation, "It is worthy of the person that the Admiral likes, and this kind of behavior of stepping on other people's thunder points as soon as he comes up is really very similar." β
"Is that person like this......" Liu Jianming had to sigh, "You always feel that it will be very troublesome for you to do things under her." β
"That's true." Kaga replied flatly, "But I have to admit that she is a qualified admiral. β
"Yes." Liu Jianming shook his head in disbelief, "I hope so." β
