Chapter 66: Return to Zhoushan Port

Aboard the Queen****

Afternoon. The thunderstorm back on the Queen was still heavy. It's not just because the mission was not successfully completed, but because I saw the passing of those little ship girls.

"Rain ......," Yongan said with the intention of persuading.

"An ......," Lei Yu said as he sat in the captain's seat with a dark face.

"Rain, you don't want to be like this...... We still found Little King Kong?" Yongan also thinks that Lei Yu's bad mood is because the mission was not completed.

"It's not...... I'm wondering who killed those little ship girls. It's really ......" Lei Yu said this, choking up a little again.

"We'll find those people. It's just that you're still our Admiral. You're still in command of this fleet. As soon as Yongan said this, Lei Yu also temporarily let go of those bad memories.

"Ann...... You're so nice. After Lei Yu finished speaking, he got up and hugged Yong'an.

"Hmm...... Don't, Sasha and Donkey Kong look at it...... "Yongan was a little shy by this somewhat sudden ambiguous behavior.

"The Admiral and Sister Yong'an look so happy...... I want to get one of these captains too......" Little King Kong immediately expressed envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Dwarf oil, it's ...... to blame it," Windsor, who was in a girlish state, said with a normal face.

"It's all ...... It's crazy......" The stunned little King Kong covered his face and said in shock.

The task force sailed in a wheeled formation in a north-westerly direction. This time, there was an extra battleship with only a hull in the middle of the fleet formation, and a large amount of silver-white nanomaterials were piled up on it.

When entering the port, the command assumed that the results of the task force's operation this time were the same as the last time. As a result, after receiving a somewhat heavy report of a thunderstorm, I understood the specifics of this operation.

Zhoushan Fleet Command****

"Thunderstorm, your actions this time have not only defeated the Soul Fleet, but also opened a new route and a new transportation network within our country. Therefore, the state has awarded you such a medal......" **Feng said, placing a small brocade box.

The brocade box opened to reveal a medal cast from sterling silver. The outermost layer is a blue navy anchor logo, and the bottom picture is a party emblem made of a hammer and sickle, with a red ribbon on the outermost part.

"Comrade Lei Yu, Admiral of the Task Force, is now awarded the Naval Combat Meritorious Service Medal of the Second Class, and Zhuo is promoted to the rank of colonel of the regiment. After listening to what ** Feng said, Lei Yu stood up and saluted, and then took the medal.

"May you continue to defend the motherland and the people, and guard the sea frontier!" **Feng finished speaking, and returned the salute to the thunderstorm.

"By the way, did you really only get a mental model this time?" said the commander of the Zhoushan Fleet with a look of disbelief.

"That's true. And I think it's necessary for us to leave for the South China Sea immediately to rescue those shipwives. Lei Yu suggested.

"That'...... What did Commander-in-Chief Xu say?" asked the fleet commander of the Zhoushan fleet.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu wants to leave this King Kong-level prototype in your Zhoushan...... Just be happy!" **Feng said with some taste.

"Haha...... Is it okay to be expected by everyone? The commander of the Zhoushan fleet was happy when he heard this, and said.

"The superiors want us to use these special ships for escort and cruising missions, and it is impossible for me to fight with the fleets of various battleships and aircraft carriers with a heavy cruiser, right?"

"Look at you, Lao Li. A battle cruiser is so excited about you, if you want to hand over Xianghe to you, isn't it a heart attack?" Caused a thunderstorm and a burst of sweat.

"Okay, I won't talk to you. Thunderstorm, you've worked your mission. Hurry up and rest......" **Feng said, driving the thunderstorm out first, and then continued to argue with the commander of the Zhoushan fleet.

"Commander, I want to mention one more thing. It's ......" Lei Yu was about to talk to **Feng about the cooking staff, **Feng waved his hand.

"I know, cook...... We have selected a local cook who can adapt to the sea voyage, and we are training you. When it's done, it will be sent to your ship. Feng Weifu predicted what Lei Yu wanted to say, so he said.

"Yes, then I'll go first. After Lei Yu finished speaking, he quickly flashed out.

Underground Dry Dock****

"Rain, you're back......" Now Yongan was standing on the ground and greeted Thunderstorm. This makes the thunderstorm a little strange.

"Ann, what are you doing standing here?" asked Thunderstorm.

"Academician Li put the new equipment on the Yongan and the Queen. Yongan said very happily.

"Oh, what's new?" said Thunderstorm as he tilted his head sideways at the Yong'an.

"It's Ruihe's new armor and a new twin main gun. It's just that the new armor is much more powerful than Zuihe's. The main cannon is also almost as effective as Salsa's main gun. Yongan jumped up happily and said.

"Hmm...... It's getting stronger......" Lei Yu said as he touched his chin and looked at the main gun turret that had just been hoisted.

"The new main gun reloads much faster than before. After changing to a new automatic press machine, there is no need for people to watch at all. As soon as Yongan said this, Lei Yu also felt happy.

The reason why the previous main gun had a gunner to watch was entirely because there were often small problems with the bomb press. In particular, the caliber of the newly created shells and the original shells is the same. But to change the length of the warhead, someone must watch to prevent the shells from falling out of the ball.

"Then send the extra personnel to Sasha. It's also nice to take some of the burden off salsa. Lei Yu thought for a moment and said.

"That's right, the rain. Xiao Jin, did she decide where to go in the end?" Yongan asked as he remembered Xiao King Kong.

"Just stay in this fleet. It is mainly responsible for escort and patrol tasks in the coastal area. It's easy......" replied Thunderstorm.

"Then I'll be relieved......" Yongan said as if relieved.

"Isn't it good to follow us?" said Thunderstorm.

"No, rain. If she follows us, she won't be able to grow on her own. As soon as Yongan said this, Lei Yu also roughly understood.

With the combat effectiveness and a complete set of tactics and strategies that the task force now has, even if you add ships, it can only be followed by firing artillery. There is no experience of fighting completely independently. On top of that, the operations of the task force are generally dangerous. For example, the current design of the Yong'an has been optimized to the strongest state now.

Whether it is seeking the enemy or firepower, it is definitely not weaker than the Yong'an at the beginning. By the way, when the main gun fired a railgun shell, the twin barrel had to be turned into a single barrel. But that's no longer the case. The rifled barrel of the twin main gun can fire railshells directly without deformation.

And the caliber of artillery for general shells has not become smaller. And it is possible to fire a wider variety of shells.

The high and low angles of the new gun, from a minimum of -10 degrees to a maximum of 75 degrees. In the face of a large number of fighters, the role of the flowering bomb will be clearly reflected.

Although the secondary cannon is not a rail-mounted gun, it has its own gun-sighting radar, which has been updated to a new type of automatic artillery. With only a few people to operate, these automatic guns can do the function of powerful destruction of small ships and warplanes.

"By the way, what about the other ships?" asked Yong'an after Lei Yu thought about it.

"Now only Sasha and Zuizuru's boats have this kind of equipment. The next step is to prepare for the installation of all ships above the heavy cruiser class. Yongan replied to Lei Yudao.

"Ann, I just want to know. What is the reason for supporting you to fight with me and your kind?"
