Chapter 54: The Ship's Wife's Salary
I want to build a dozen aircraft carriers!
However, this is not possible. Pro, Baidu search eye & fast, a large number of novels are free to read.
It sounds like a multiple-choice question, but it turns out to be a single choice.
"The current resources are only enough to build the most basic destroyers and light cruisers, right?"
Nagato corrected in a serious tone: "There are also heavy cruisers. ”
…… If it weren't for the contact in the past two days, I probably understood Nagato's character, and Rilan would definitely think that she was mocking.
If the only remaining 50 units of ammunition are really thrown in, even if the heavy cruiser comes out, there will be no resources to provide the fleet to go on the expedition, right?
"Actually......" I don't know if it's an illusion, just now Lan felt that Nagato's tone seemed to be a little strange.
"Nagato still has some resources in stock"
"Huh?"
Reelan heard it right...... Inventory of resources? Will the ship's mother also have "inventory" resources?
"It was saved as a substitute for wages, because the shipping lanes with the north were blocked, so there was no way to consume them" and said in a tone: "You can use it if you want." ”
"Wait......" Lilan's head was a little confused by this sentence: "You mean, the ship's mother also has a 'salary'?!" ”
Seemingly dissatisfied with Rilan's rude question, Nagato's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Is there any problem?" ”
"No, no problem......" Leaving the others aside for the time being, after getting a definite answer, there is now a more serious incident in front of Lilan.
"How are salaries for destroyers and light cruisers calculated?"
―――――― Split ――――――
Steel: 2
Bullet: 18
Oil: 53
Aluminum: 19
This is the total amount of resources that the Seventh Town Guard Mansion really has at present, and it is still not calculated on the premise of "salary" since this month.
In a way, this game is no longer playable - I thought it was a relatively difficult strategy development class, but after all, it turned out to be a hellish simulation management class! (Fall)
Looking at the gray back of the blue and gray, Nagato couldn't bear to comfort him: "Actually, this kind of monthly resources provided to the ship's mother is not constant, if your relationship with them is enough-"
"It's okay" interrupted Nagato's words, and the recovered Rilan has returned to normal - how to say that he has experienced so many incidents, and there is only a "salary" problem...... And that's not a problem!
Compared with this, Lilan is more interested in the question of why the ship's mother has a "salary".
Considering that Rilan was just a complete rookie admiral, Nagato no longer minded, but patiently explained to him: "Actually, at the beginning, there was no such fixed monthly resource ration for the ship mother, but because some of the admirals have been reducing the resources used for the maintenance and equipment replacement of the ship mother in various names, it has become a mandatory order."
"The Admiral must pay a certain amount of resources to the shipwives every month in the form of 'wages' similar to those of you humans, and let them decide how to use them for themselves."
I see...... Li Lan thought that these were all arranged by the admiral of the ship's mother, but he didn't expect that there was still such a "wonderful" existence of "deducting resources", and he could only say that the world was so big that there were no surprises.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Not for the time being"
"Got it, let's get started"
As a battleship and secretary ship, Nagato's monthly resource ration reached a fairly high level, and with the blockade of the northern shipping lanes, the allocated resources could not be used, and the final amount accumulated was quite staggering.
"Don't have so much" Listening to the series of numbers reported by Nagato, the corners of Rilan's forehead sweated - the more you take now, the more difficult it will be to get up in the future, although there is no such thing as a profit between the "business" with the ship's mother.
"As long as I can build a heavy cruiser, I can go on a single expedition to consume resources"
"Have you decided to build heavy cruisers?"
"Hmm"
The Sixth Fleet can't even think about it in the short term, and what the Seventh Town Guard Mansion lacks most now is the role that can defend against enemy attacks - whether it is a destroyer or a light cruiser, their armor is too weak, and the deep-sea habitat ships above the heavy cruiser are basically wiped off and broken and sunk.
Although there is a Z16 that is good at interception, and there is an unscientific "immortal bird", there are a large number of deep-sea habitat ships that can't stand this sea area, and the battle of less than four ships at sea is fine, but it can't be carried at all in the sixth town guard mansion calculated by the six-ship formation that is often marked, and at this time, it is quite necessary to add a companion who can defend against a certain degree of firepower of the enemy.
Considering the exaggerated resource consumption of battleships and battlecruisers, in the end, Lilan chose a heavy cruiser with high speed and good defense, and most importantly, her expedition resource consumption and monthly fixed resource ration were still within Lilan's acceptable range......
Steel: 100
Bounce: 50
Oil: 30
Aluminum: 30
With Nagato's assistance, a series of resources were thrown into the trench behind the builder, which then vanished into the air as particles......
Build time: 1:29:59
Seeing this value, Lilan can be regarded as a sigh of relief, the types of warships built according to the number of resources invested are not completely fixed, and sometimes even if you pile up all the resources to the upper limit, that is, 999 units, the final one may be a poi......
Eh, why a POI?
"In an hour and a half, the new sisters will come out......" Nagato's tone was filled with emotion, "It's been a long time since a new face has appeared in the Sixth Town Guard. ”
Li Lan was stunned when he heard this: "If I remember correctly, there should be no shortage of resources in the Sixth Town Guard's Mansion, right?" ”
"Yes, but Lord Admiral has his own ideas......" Speaking of this, Nagato's tone was obviously low, and in the dark, Riran intuitively felt that this should have something to do with why he was able to get such excellent treatment in the Sixth Town Guard, but he couldn't say anything when the information was insufficient, as for asking Nagato......
As early as the conversation in the repair cabin last night, after she finally said goodbye, Lilan understood that it was absolutely impossible for her to tell all the truth.
No matter what, you'll always know when you should know.
With this in mind, Lilan put the question behind him.
"Moreover, there is a limit to the number of ships that can be stationed in the Sixth Town Guard's Mansion at present."
This is the first time I've heard of it.
Just as he was about to ask, Nagato had already closed the memo in his hand: "Now Nagato is going to report the results of this expedition to the Admiral, so I will take my leave."
"Ah, walk slowly......"
The ship's mother will be loyal to the humans who built herself, but she will also be quite impressed by the first existence when the construction is completed, so it is impossible for Lilan to directly drop the instrument under construction and run out, so she can only give up the plan to ask.
Also, Riran feels that even if he asks, it is not certain whether Nagato will answer truthfully.
Ninety minutes wasn't a long time, at least when Li Lan's eyes were closed and he was cultivating light perception.
When I opened it again, time had passed.
Construction time: 0:00:22
Suddenly remembered the three ship girls who had been built in the Seventh Town Guard's Mansion before-
Ning Hai's social phobia, Z16's coarse nerve jump, and Hibiki's two extreme personalities......
"I hope that this time the feng shui of the Sixth Town Shoufu can be better"
As soon as he finished talking to himself, it was exactly the same as when he built Z16 and Hibiki, and the blue-haired girl appeared in front of Rilan without warning.
"Heavy cruiser, Prince Eugen. I'll take care of you, and ...... Please advise."
It's good, it looks like it's fairly normal.
But why does it feel like when she says this, it's quite ...... Skilled?
In short, it's really bad that it's not all schoolchildren anymore - no, it's great!
"Li Lan, the active commander of the Seventh Town Guard" stretched out his right hand to the blue-haired girl, and Li Lan had a gentle smile on his face: "Please give me more advice in the future"
Heavy cruiser - Prince Eugen.
The standard displacement is 14,200 tons, the length of the ship is 206m, the width is 21.8m, the waterline is 7.2m, and the speed is 32.5 knots.
Equipped with a 203mm main gun, there are as many as 4 37mm anti-aircraft guns as an air defense force, but what surprises Lilan the most - her armored defense.
The thickness of the main armor belt has reached 80mm, you know, even in the heavy cruisers of deep-sea habitat ships, only the thickest part of the armor is in the range of 60mm~70mm, but Prince Eugen has reached this data as a whole.
The defense force in the heavy cruiser is quite good, and it is only stronger than the battle cruisers in many deep-sea habitat ships-from the evaluation of the senior ship lady Nagato, but I don't know why, she looked at the girl behind Rilan with a subtle strange look.
"Now that you've finished building, what are you going to do in the future......" looked away from Prince Eugen, because it was facing away, so Rilan couldn't see the embarrassed smile of the girl behind him at this moment.
"Maybe I might give you some advice," Nagato said.
It's getting weirder and weirder, she's never suggested anything like that before.
"I'm going to go over and find two shipwives belonging to the Sixth Town Guard's Mansion later, and after forming a combined fleet, I'll carry out the fourth suppression mission tomorrow."
"The Fourth Suppression Mission......
Flipping through the memo, it was written in exactly the same text as the task book that Resus had given to Rilan.
Now, Reelan was completely sure that he was here for a premeditated act.
"For the fourth suppression mission, the possible deep-sea habitat ships are a standard high-speed patrol fleet, with heavy cruisers, two light cruisers and two destroyers."
"Are you sure about it?"
Li Lan said without hesitation: "If it was before, it wouldn't be necessarily, but now with Eugen's strong defense force, as long as you are careful, it will definitely be fine!" ”
After all, he is also a person who has commanded large-scale battles in other worlds, and if under the same conditions of the strength of each other's warships, his own side is still in the initiative and cannot win, then Lan simply washes and sleeps.
However......
"I'm sorry to tell you" After hearing Rilan's words, Nagato had a helpless expression on his face: "If you plan to use Prince Eugen as the main defensive battleship, I'm afraid this expedition will fail."
“…… Ha? ”
"She's so famous"
