ACT031: The Gambler's Philosophy
Although it was an unexpected encounter, Yamamoto Fifty-six did not seem as surprised as Zhao Jian. The other party only hesitated slightly, and then greeted Zhao Jian in Chinese with a smile.
“Hi! What a coincidence, young man, we met again. ”
"Uh...... yes, you remember me? ”
"It's only been half a day, my memory is not so bad, your cake is delicious."
As early as the morning, while observing the ship's mother, Zhao Jian also peeked at the senior generals of the United Fleet, especially the big-faced Yamamoto Fifty-six. After all, he was one of the most prestigious admirals in IJN in the future, but after observing for a long time, Zhao Jian really didn't see anything special except that he found that this product was super edible.
As for the "chance encounter" in the casino, Zhao Jian was not surprised at all.
Yamamoto Fifty-six has a reputation for good gambling, even in this time and space, he has long heard of it, and in history, the other party even dared to use the "national fortune" to play it. Coldly face-to-face with this kind of "historical celebrity", Zhao Jian was a little nervous.
If there was also a war of aggression against China in this time and space, Zhao Jian would definitely not hesitate to snatch a wine bottle from the waiter now, and then smash the goods to death on the spot. But in this time and space, there has not been a "direct war" between Tang and Japan until now, and Zhao Jian will have to go to Osaka, Japan in a few days, and he will not be able to offend them at this time.
"I said, General Yamamoto, is it really okay for you to just run out like this?"
"There wasn't much social activity on the first day, so I just got off the boat and walked around."
"And then walked into the casino?"
Yamamoto smiled and shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the dealer to start dealing cards. The short-haired beauty dealer skillfully dealt two hole cards to all gamblers. Zhao Jian opened one, inserted it under the other, raised it and glanced at it slightly, and then opened the other one, signaling that he folded, and Yamamoto next to him also chose to fold after confirming that the hole cards were very bad.
"Oh~! Not the first time to play? ”
"No, it's my first time playing, but I've just seen someone else play it before."
"How old are you?"
"I'm 14 years old, and I'm 2 months away from my birthday."
"During the day, I see that you seem to be in charge of the food and drink at the venue, your family should be the naval sponsor of Datang, right? At this age, you start to do things, and it seems that your parents have high expectations for you! ”
"If they were still alive, they would probably urge me to do bodybuilding now, right?"
"Uh...... I'm sorry. ”
"I don't need to apologize, it's been more than five years, and I'm already used to it."
"I have a daughter your age who is still in school."
"Is it pretty?"
"It's beautiful, but don't worry about it, because she's engaged."
"Isn't it distressing that the fertilizer water has flowed out so early?" Zhao Jian teased.
"This family business is not something I have the right to refuse."
While the two were talking, the second round of dealing began. This time, Zhao Jian did not lift the cards by himself, but let Hongling behind him do it for him. Yamamoto glanced at the little maid beside him, and looked back and forth between the master and servant meaningfully, as if he understood it at once, while Zhao Jian motioned to the dealer to continue dealing cards after reading it.
Soon all 5 cards were dealt to Zhao Jian's hand, and a pair of spades flushed the whole court, and the chips in front of Zhao Jian suddenly tripled. More than 5,000 yuan came so lightly, which made Zhao Jian begin to understand the mentality of those gamblers a little.
"Looks like you're in good luck this time."
"To be precise, it's my Xiaoling's good luck."
"Gambling is a bit of a trick, but a lot of the time, luck is the difference between winning and losing. Unpredictable, but traceable, this is probably the charm of gambling! ”
"For the charm you mentioned, I think it's better not to fall too deep."
"Haha, that's the truth."
To be honest, the 51-year-old Yamamoto Isoroku is indeed a very good person to get along with, with a "large national character face" that is not very good-looking, but the face is not vicious. Regardless of the identity of the other party and the history that Zhao Jian is familiar with, Zhao Jian is afraid that it will be difficult for Zhao Jian to have any bad feelings for this gentle-tempered uncle.
Trying to relax his nervous mind, Zhao Jian quickly resumed his rhythm, chatting and laughing with Yamamoto while gambling money, and no longer felt restrained. But gradually, Zhao Jian found that the rhythm of the gambling game was gradually being grasped by the other party, although there were occasional small losses, but every time the other party won was a big victory! It didn't take long for the chips in front of me to be stacked as high as a hill. Zhao Jian couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, this guy's gambling skills are really not covered!
It only took less than an hour, and Yamamoto Fifty-six successively "drove away" more than 20 people, but Zhao Jian barely relied on Hongling's god-like luck to follow up until now. Although Zhao Jian didn't understand it very well, he also understood that this was the other party's gambling skills. Being turned away from Moroccan casinos for this reason is also a skill.
"It's better to be Tang Guo, I won't be turned away because I always win."
"I think that according to your winning method, it will definitely be a matter of time before they invite you out."
After driving away so many people in a row, the gamblers on the second floor basically knew that there was a "master" at this table, so no one wanted to come to this table again. And if there are only two people left, Zhao Jian and Yamamoto, the duel between the two is not interesting, so the table is deserted for a while. But just when Zhao Jian was thinking about whether to let Hongling also sit on it and play together, a new challenger finally appeared, and it was a blonde royal sister.
"Mind if I play at this table?"
"Of course not, Miss Frilinger."
The third gambler who appeared was no stranger to Zhao Jianhe and others, and the other party was the battlecruiser De Fleeter, which was sent by the German side to observe the group. Although it was a World War I warship, the ship is still a fighting capital ship after many modernizations by the Germans.
In another time and space, the De Fllinger, who had participated in the Battle of Jutland, sank in Scapa Bay on the eve of the end of World War I with the main force of the High Seas Fleet. This was once complained about as "just a fleet that stores zài", and in the end, for the sake of dignity, even the only "zài" was abandoned.
On this side, in the First World War, because of the Tang Dynasty, the High Seas Fleet was retained by Germany, but the size of the capital ships had to be reduced by half. The D'Ringer was lucky enough to survive the "Navy Layoffs" and was the only one left on this class of battle cruises.
It is worth mentioning that the hull used by De Fleeter today originally belonged to the third ship, the Hindenburg.
In the Jutland Space War, the D'Flinger suffered 17 shells and the hull was severely damaged, while the Hindenburg was the last German battle cruiser built during World War I, with little actual combat experience. In view of this, after the war, the Germans exchanged the Delflinger's core to the Hindenburg, and the Hindenburg's core was temporarily sealed.
The refitting of the same type of ship god core is the only assimilation method that can retain the previous memories after the god core is reset, which is more appropriate than only retaining the "skills" after changing to a new type of hull.
However, to the great surprise of the German Navy, although the memory of the new Fringer after the hull change is still there, his temperament has changed greatly, and his words and deeds have become perverse and degenerate, and he is not like the Germans who are known for their strict style. Now the other party appears in the casino alone, and he is full of alcohol, and he knows at a glance that the other party has sneaked out to play.
De Friinger's sudden appearance made Zhao Jian nervous, after all, the divine core of his "sister" Lu Zov was still in his safe, so Zhao Jian, who had a ghost in his heart, looked extremely cramped. And when De Stringer saw his nervous look, he suddenly walked up to him with a playful smile on his face.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"Uh...... The surname of the contemptible person is Zhao, and the single name is the ship word of a ship. ”
As he spoke, the tall and tall Ringer almost pressed on Zhao Jian's body, and the distance between the two was not even 3 centimeters. The other party was wearing a red sleeveless dress with a V-neck, as long as Zhao Jian's eyes went down a little, he could see a deep "career line" and a large area of snow white through the wide open neckline, while the other party's delicate face was constantly shaking in front of his eyes, and the appearance of licking red lips was simply leading people to commit a crime!
The favorite royal sister ** Zhengtai (pseudo), Zhao Jian's reaction made De Frilinger very satisfied, while Yamamoto Fifty-six sat on the side with great interest. Zhao Jian could clearly feel that there was a strong gaze behind him staring at him, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was Hongling's gaze, and even the other party's bulging face appeared in his mind.
After a little ** Zhao Jian, Flinger returned to his seat with a smile and raised his slender legs, which made the male gamblers around him frequently look sideways. De Friinger did not care about this, and motioned for the dealer to start dealing the cards.
After De Frilinger arrived, Yamamoto finally had an opponent. This ship's gambling skills are not very superb, but she likes to gamble unusually much, and it is completely a fierce attack posture of "fighting big". Several times, the other party obviously only had a bad deck of cards in his hand, but he still relied on this courageous momentum to suppress Zhao Jian and Yamamoto alive!
"Miss De Stringer, your gambling is like a war."
"It's like drinking." Zhao Jian looked at the pile of empty wine bottles in the other party's hand and complained.
"War? I fought once 20 years ago, but unfortunately I lost in the end, and I lost badly. For so many years I tried to find the feeling of winning, only to find out that I could only get ...... in the casino"
De Friinger, who drank a full 10 bottles of various famous wines, was obviously drunk at this time, and even the ship's mother, who could nibble on aviation aluminum and steel plates, was unable to completely immunize against alcohol. And the drunk Frilinger is even more charming at this time, with a unique depraved beauty, and many men in the casino who don't know her true identity are about to be fascinated by this angry stunner!
"Miss Fringer, you can't drink any more."
"Little brother, you're not my captain, you can't control me."
"But you're drunk, and it's dangerous for a girl to drink like this."
"Haha! Who else dares to go to the old lady? Come on! I'm going to see which human man is so kind, for the sake of a little romance, he is not even afraid of being directly beaten into a particle state by strong energy. ”
As soon as Frilinger's words came out, he was basically exposed, and the group of men around him who were confused all showed disappointed expressions after knowing the truth. At this moment, several German naval officers appeared at the staircase, and the other party found De Linger from a long distance, and several Japanese officers also appeared close behind, and Zhao Jian shrugged his shoulders when he saw this.
"Looks like that's all I can do today."
