ACT185: Twins

For Franco, who has mastered half of Spain, he does not lack a god core in his hands, but a military-grade hull. And Zhao Jian's current situation is just the opposite, the state gave him a quota of 50,000 tons, and Zhao Jian took out 29,000 tons of them with a "package", wanting to exchange Franco's two half-destroyed heavy cruisers with divine cores.

Among these 7 warships, 10,000 tons are the previous generation of Shaoxing-class large cruisers, the main guns are 6 triple 155mm naval guns, 60 times the diameter of the long body tube and the number of frantic tubes, so that this class of battleships is also called "barrage ship". At present, the six warships of this class in service are all subordinate to the Zephyr Fleet, and this one of the Zhao ships is one of the two spare hulls.

The other two types of warships were the Anyang-class light cruisers and the Deyang-class destroyers, which were no worse than the old ones before the Spanish Navy in terms of numbers. Zhao Jian believed that Franco would definitely make a "wise" choice when there was an urgent need for war.

"Commander-in-Chief, if you want to wait for the construction of a new ship, you won't be able to get the goods in a year or two. And the hulls I'm talking about, as long as you have the god core and sailors ready, you can go into battle within a month. It's better to act than to be excited! ”

At present, the only remaining warships in Franco's hands are a light cruiser and a destroyer, but these two ships are only barely able to take off to patrol, and they dare not even go to the star field a little farther away. And the two Canalias-class heavy cruisers, the damage to the hull of the ship was a headache even for the Germans to see, and the other party directly sued Franco that the two new ships were easier to build than to repair.

Sure enough! After a slight moment's hesitation, Franco agreed to Zhao's quid pro quo.

Although the Canarias sisters played a role in the birth and death of Franco in the early days of the civil war, in the eyes of this ambitious hero, they are nothing more than talking weapons, and selling them can be said to have no psychological pressure at all.

"When will I get these hulls?"

"Anytime! The hull is currently on Jupiter, and you just need to have the core and crew ready. I can send them to Jupiter to receive these ships for free. Also, if it's convenient, I'd like to go and see what the two ships are doing. ”

After signing the written exchange agreement, Franco arranged for an officer to lead the Zhao ship to "inspect the goods". After leaving the headquarters, the two took a car to a soft mud clearing in the west of the city, where two Canalias-class heavy cruisers were currently lying on their stomachs, serving as fixed batteries. The vast majority of the sailors on board have been evacuated, and only some orderlies and communications officers remain on board.

The Zhao ship first came to the front of the Ganarias, and the first ship was also more damaged because it covered the second ship Bari Ali many times during the battle. The armor on the left side of the ship was scarred and penetrated in several places. The situation looks pretty bad, and on the other side, Bariari's situation is only slightly better.

"Where are the main damage sites of the two battleships? How strict can it be? ”

"Jana's turrets 1 and 3 were destroyed, turret 4 was mechanically damaged and stuck, the right side of the main bridge was punctured, and the entire chart room was wiped out on the spot...... Ali's condition was slightly better on the surface, but she was suffering from internal injuries, with multiple leaks in the oil tank, a boiler explosion, and a drop in speed of about 40%. Both ships had rather tight cracks in their keels. There are so many other small problems, I won't go into them one by one. ”

"I'll it! The one who was able to drive this ship back in the first place was also a man of God! ”

"If you can get them out again, then you won't have to let them out."

resolutely replied to Zhao Jian with a divine complaint, and the young officer obviously had no good impression of Zhao Jian. After all, he doesn't have Franco's awareness of "profit first", and the Ganarias sisters, who have always fought on the front line, are no less than Valkyries on the battlefield in his eyes. Be the hero of New Spain! Now that Franco has been sold as scrap, it is difficult for him to accept.

The two of them circled around the two warships, and then Zhao boarded the Barricari, which was in slightly better condition, and he had just made his way up the ladder to the deck. I saw that on the No. 1 turret at the bow of the ship, two lonely shadows snuggled together, silently looking at the remnant sun slowly setting on the horizon. It gives people a sense of desolation.

"That's Jana and Ali, our battle heroes!"

"Do they know?"

"I don't know yet, at least I don't have the courage to open this mouth."

In fact, even if no one came to inform them, the Ganarias sisters would have guessed their fate somewhat. The hull of the ship has been so badly damaged that with the current technology of human beings, it is impossible to completely repair it, and perhaps they will face the fate of being dismantled before this war ends.

The sisters' hulls were barely completed before the start of the Civil War, which means that they have been in this world for less than a year. The thought that after the hull of the ship was dismantled, he would turn back into an unconscious divine core, and the two sisters, who were already deeply bound to their souls, cherished every day they could still be together.

However, the problem that plagued the two sisters was not a problem at all for Zhao Jian, who had the maintenance technology of the ancients. As long as their hull hasn't completely blown to pieces, the pit can get it new in a matter of days. This is also the reason why Zhao Jian felt that it was not a loss to exchange the empty hull for these two semi-crippled heavy cruisers. What he lacks is a ship girl with rich combat experience!

Zhao Jian didn't want to disturb the pair of hard-working sisters, but from the time he stood on the deck, Cun ZĂ i had already been discovered by the other party, Jia Na glanced back slightly and glanced back, and whispered to her sister.

"Ali, we seem to have a guest coming."

"I've felt it for a long time, but ...... How do I seem to have seen that Oriental man somewhere? ”

Glancing back at Zhao Jian, Ali vaguely remembered that she should have seen Zhao Jian once, and after thinking about it carefully for a long time, she suddenly realized. It turned out that a year ago, she had seen each other while searching a heavy cargo ship of Datang. The huge Hydrangea made a very strong impression on her at the time.

Now that they looked back, the sisters were embarrassed to continue ignoring each other, so the two jumped down from the turret and walked towards the Zhao ship holding hands. This pair of rare twin ship girls, except for the different offset direction of the single ponytail, are exactly the same in appearance, figure and clothing, just like "people in the mirror".

Such a rare characteristic not only makes them quite famous in the world, but the clever combat cooperation between the two is also a must! Such a pair of sisters with both talent and color, Zhao Jian really likes it the more he looks at it, and he feels that he has made a lot of money! (To be continued......)
