"Come and see, come and see! Bell, bell~ This is my brother! ”

Pulling Zhao Jian through the thick crowd of onlookers, Da Lian came to the surrounded cake shop, and pushed Zhao Jian in front of her as if showing off, showing it to her sisters. In an instant, more than 30 beauties of different sizes turned their heads and used their "eyes" to make a "covering blow" to Zhao Jian.

"Big face, you're not human, where did you come from?" An intellectual beauty with glasses was the first to complain.

"This is the son of my father-in-law Zhao Teng, and naturally he is also my younger brother! In addition, Shenyang troubles you to straighten your tongue and speak, my name is Dalian, not a big face! And don't save that 'class' word, you're already scolding! ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry to speak in a northeastern tone."

"Tsk! This poisonous old lady! Don't think that I'm a battle cruiser, I'm still the lead ship of the Dalian class! ”

"Then I'm a full 10,000 tons bigger than you!"

"So you're a full 10 kilograms fatter than me."

"Humph!" x2

In a few words, Da Lian and the other party annoyed each other, with a posture of incompatible rivals. And Zhao Jian also learned through his name that the figure in front of him was indeed a glasses beauty who was plumper than Da Lian, and it was one of the main battleships of the Northern Fleet of the Tang Dynasty - the Shenyang battlecruiser.

Datang's military development has always been among the best in this shijie, especially the proud space fleet, which is firmly in the top spot in terms of quantity and quality. Therefore, unlike another time and space, although Japan here has also experienced the Meiji Restoration, its national strength has risen sharply, and it has faint intentions to expand outward, but it still does not dare to fight the ghost idea of the Tang Dynasty.

After the end of World War I, the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy formulated a "Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments" at the Washington Conference in 1922. Nominally, it is to curb the arms race in order to reduce the financial burden, but in fact it is an attempt to deceive Datang into disarmament. In this matter, the students cultivated by the Tang Dynasty in Japan did not hesitate to participate in it, ready to pit their own teachers.

At the meeting, these five countries first took it upon themselves to list a large number of restrictions on warships, and even made a clear division of the total tonnage of warships and the proportion of various types of warships. Then he signed a big name and recommended Britain to take the contract to meet Tang Lingzong, who had just succeeded to the throne at that time, and persuade the other party to get together.

These five hooligans had a good wishful thinking, and they wanted to use the power of the five countries to coerce the Tang Dynasty into submission, but Tang Lingzong didn't eat this at all. There were even rumors among the people that the British ambassador at that time pointed to the treaty and said, "This is Shijie's will", and then Tang Lingzong tore the treaty to shreds in front of the other party and replied with a sneer.

"Fuck you shijie!"

Not long after that meeting, Datang started a new round of "large-scale construction", and the specifications of the newly built warships were obviously a slap in the face of the Washington Naval Treaty. Ships of all classes not only made extensive use of the new jishu, but were also much larger in tonnage and caliber than they had set limits.

A high-speed heavy cruiser of this type like the Dalian class has a standard displacement of 13,500 tons, a full load displacement of 17,000 tons, and the main gun is 8 240mm guns of 52 times the caliber. In terms of tonnage, it is slightly larger than the German-class "pocket battleship" secretly built by Germany, and the firepower, armor, and speed are all the top level of heavy cruisers!

The Shenyang is the third ship of the Harbin class, which is somewhat similar to the enlargement of the Dalian class in appearance, but with an additional twin main turret added to the front. Its high speed can hunt enemy cruisers and aircraft carriers in a team with the Dalian class, and the firepower of 10 365mm main guns is also quite deterrent.

When Da Lian and Shen Yang were arguing, Zhao Jian was also secretly observing the other "ship girls" in the store. With these two in front of him as a reference, Zhao Jian can guess the type of other ship girls based on his body type and temperament. As a result, he found that nearly half of the main force of the Northern Fleet was in this cake shop, and two of them were battleship-class at first glance!

One of the two was wearing a flaxen-colored braid with a local complex, and was concentrating on fiddling with a set of nine links, while the other black and straight cold and glamorous royal sister was looking at a book of "Li Bai's Poetry Collection" in an ancient style, and nodded from time to time!

"Sister, sister! You see if everyone is kind, there are many people outside the store watching. ”

"Humph! For my brother's sake, I don't bother with you today! ”

"If you love to be noisy or not, who is afraid of you! Little friend, you see that this guy behind you is so rude, you will definitely be bullied as her younger brother, or come to my sister's place. Sister, I am not only very gentle, but also have bigger breasts! ”

"You, you, you actually seduced a 12-year-old child, shameless!"

As soon as she heard that the other party was going to "abduct" her younger brother, Da Lian immediately tightened her arms, and Zhao Jian suddenly felt that the back of his head was sinking into a deep softness. But just as the two were about to quarrel again, the battleship lady with big braids suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and roared loudly at this side in anger.

"Kill you two! If you don't be quiet, believe it or not, the old lady asked the commander to withdraw your vacation!? ”

After the other party yelled at the other party, not only the ship girls in the store were frightened by her, but even the crowd outside the store who were watching from the window retreated 5 or 6 meters away, leaving only the stunned Wangcai and Hongling, who was holding his head and squatting, remained in place. Seeing this, Zhao Jian hurriedly waved at them, asking them to hurry up and take the opportunity to come in.

For a moment, everyone present was silent, and the owner of the cake shop and the two waiters all squatted behind the bar, showing half their heads and watching. Fortunately, the black long straight royal sister came out in time to play the round, coughed lightly and reminded the other party to pay attention to the impact.

"Ning Ning, you scared them."

"But Sister Black Dragon, I was about to get this out of the way just now, now, now...... Sister Heilong, you are so smart, can you help me? Please! ”

Holding the nine rings with both hands and fiddling for a long time, the girl with big braids who had just looked like a "Hedong Lion" immediately changed to a pitiful expression. But when the royal sister with the word "black dragon" in her name saw the complicated thing, the corners of her eyes jumped unconsciously, and then twisted her face to the side with a little embarrassment.

"Ning Ning, this thing has to be opened by yourself to have a sense of accomplishment."

"Then you demonstrate it to me, and then I do it again, and the sense of accomplishment must be the same."

"This ......"

Looking at the nine consecutive rings in front of her, Sister Hei Changzhi had a feeling that she was obviously being pitted, and when Zhao Jian saw this from the side, she suddenly felt that this was an "opportunity", so she pulled Da Lian over. There is a strange uncle in his 30s inside, who is shameless and uses his external skin to disguise himself as a "cute Zhengtai" to set it off.

"Two sisters, are you playing Nine Links?"

"Uh...... Will you get this? ”

Intuition told Sister Hei Changzhi that Zhao Jian was a "life-saving straw" sent to the door, but he also fell into the other party's arms.

"Yes! My mom taught me how to solve it when I was a kid. ”

"That's right, please show me a demonstration, please!"

Putting the nine rings together with both hands, the attitude of the girl with big braids was like a primary school student asking the teacher for math problems, which solemnly made Zhao Jian a little embarrassed. And after Zhao Jian took over the Nine Links, he couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion in his heart. The solution to this thing was indeed learned from his mother Zhao Xiangling in his previous life, and it was purely because of the curiosity of children at that time, but he didn't expect that now the pickle girl can still come in handy.

The nine rings are not too complicated for those who can solve them, Zhao Jian untied this thing in three strokes and five divided by two, and the royal sister on the opposite side suddenly lit up with excitement, and shouted "oh oh" like a child.

"That's amazing! It's so easy to unravel, you're a genius! ”

"Actually, there is a trick to this thing, I'll teach you."

"Yes, yes!"

The pigtailed girl who was really the battleship Liaoning nodded busily, and then happily hugged the other party in her arms, and Zhao Jian's head was suddenly buried between the towering twin peaks. Although the Heilongjiang on the side was still reading the poetry collection, her eyes were obviously peeking this way, and it was obvious that she was not interested in the Nine Links at all.

The Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and the Jilin and Shandong, which had not yet appeared, were the main forces of the Northern Fleet, which had only recently entered service, and like the Dalian and Harbin classes, they were all products of the "anti-treaty" series.

The standard displacement of this type of battleship is 42,500 tons, and the full load displacement can reach 50,000 tons, far exceeding the 36,500 tons stipulated in the treaty. The main armament is 9 triple 48 times the caliber of 420mm guns, with a reasonable arrangement of "two in the front and one in the back", which is currently recognized as the strongest battleship on the Shijie, and is called the "Oriental Kraken" by Western countries.

The fly in the ointment is that the large-caliber main gun pursues performance excessively, and the power and accuracy are at the first-class level, but the service life of the barrel is not high, but this is not an unacceptable big problem in the eyes of the wealthy Tang Dynasty government.

The main force of the Northern Fleet has just returned from summer joint exercises with the Far East Fleet to rest and recuperate, so they will stay in Qingdao for a long time. Except for Jilin and Shandong, which were forced to lose by lot, they could only lead the second destroyer fleet to continue patrolling and duty in the jurisdiction, and the other main warships came back for the holiday first.

Zhao Jian just caught up with the good time, relying on the appearance of a child and the affection of Youdalian, the "godsister", to smoothly approach the eldest ladies of the Northern Fleet. Then he relied on the small skill of solving the nine consecutive rings, and won the favor of the Liaoning, and for a time he was very open among these big and small girls, envious of those single men who could only watch from the outside of the store.
