Wang Yu didn't reach out to take the letter.

Instead, he frowned and asked, "Excuse me, did you get the wrong recipient?" ”

He felt that the other party should have found the wrong person, or was simply entertaining himself.

First of all, the courier brother came up and didn't ask his name or address, and directly asked Wang Yu if he was a commander, there are few commanders in this town, but not none, so how can you judge whether the other party is the recipient in this way......

The second is how can someone in this world send him a letter.

And sending paper letters is a ...... Wang Yu said he hadn't seen him for many years.

The courier guy scratched his head with his free hand: "You are indeed the commander of this United Port District, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Then this letter is indeed for you."

He handed the letter over again.

So, the letter is not addressed to a specific person, but to the "commander".

Wang Yu thought about it, took the envelope from the other party's hand, and looked at it.

This is a very delicately made envelope, which does not contain the sender's contact information and address, let alone the recipient's information, but only a line of small print in the middle that indicates who the letter should be addressed to.

In small print it reads, "To any commander of the United Port District on the front line."

Wang Yu pointed to this line of small print and asked the courier: "So you handed the letter to me because of this?" ”

Unexpectedly, his question opened the courier brother's chatterbox.

The other party immediately began to complain: "It's really because of this, I've been sending couriers for so many years, and I've seen a lot of strange requirements, but this kind of strange request is also the first time I've seen it." ”

Seeing that he still had something to say, Wang Yu said that he was listening.

And the other party obviously didn't have any other work tasks after sending the letter, so he sat next to Wang Yu and said.

"I don't know who the messenger is, they placed a big order at the headquarters, asking to send a special letter to a front-line United Port area, in fact, the delivery of the letter is normal, although letters are not popular these days, but there are always two or three retro - mainly the customer's request is really strange."

"How?"

"The client didn't give a fixed address, but the client had a request that we pick a random joint port area on the front line, and then when the letter is delivered to the front line joint port area, we can send it to a random commander.

Wang Yu looked down at the letter again, so whether someone sent him a letter or not, but came to him randomly.

"It just so happens that I came over these days to send some documents to the Navy General Administration branch in this joint port area, so the headquarters saw that the geographical location was also suitable, so they asked me to bring this letter by the way, find a random port area, and hand over the letter to the commander of the port area, even if this business is completed."

The courier seemed to be very happy to meet Wang Yu here: "I originally thought that I would have to find a way to take a boat to a certain commander's port area to deliver this letter, but I didn't expect to meet you here, so I handed the letter to you......"

He said, then took out a tablet from the small bag behind him: "If you don't mind, let me take a picture of your commander's insignia to confirm that the letter has been delivered, and I won't have to stay in this cold place for long, and I can take the ship back to headquarters tonight." ”

Wang Yu didn't mind, anyway, he was pretending to be Mio Hahara.

He removed the badge and let the courier take a picture to confirm that the letter had been delivered.

"Okay, confirm the receipt." The courier excitedly put away the tablet: "Then I wish you prosperity in martial arts!" I won't bother much. ”

He rode away quickly in his electric car.

And Wang Yu set his eyes on the letter in his hand.

Someone in this world, at great expense, also wants to deliver a letter to a commander.

It did make him a little curious.

The commander was to have a warship under his command and himself commanded the Annapolis.

The commander fights with the sirens and fights the sirens himself.

The commander lives in the port area and currently lives in a shipyard on the edge of the port area.

The argument is valid, and he is also a commander.

So it makes sense to accept this letter yourself.

So he opened the envelope and pulled out the letter from inside.

Even Wang Yu can see the value of this letterhead, the paper is soft, smooth and tough, the background of the letterhead is also beautifully made, the whole is a lilac that does not affect reading, and there is a pattern of irises in the upper right corner as a decoration, close to the face, you can smell a faint aroma, I don't know if it is the smell of ink, or the smell of paper.

The handwriting on the letter paper highlights the difference of the writer - the handwriting written in blue-black ink shows the writer's skills at a glance, the pen runs smoothly, the handwriting is clean, there is no trace of ink dots, and all the text is almost the same size, even looking like a print that has just been taken out of the printer.

The other party is obviously writing this letter with a very important attitude.

But, as mentioned earlier, the letter has long been obsolete.

Even if the sirens completely abolished all human satellite communications, at least radio and submarine cables of various frequencies could still be used, so I don't know what the point of choosing letters as a means of communication is.

Wang Yu was a little curious, both about the content of the letter and about the identity of the sender.

He looked at the text on the letter.

[Dear Strange Commander,

Hello.

When you receive this letter, you may be confused.

If you are too busy with the responsibilities of the Commander to spend time on such a trivial task as reading a letter, please ignore this slightly obtrusive letter.

And if you're in the middle of a busy time and you're looking for a way to entertain yourself, then hopefully you'll turn to the second page of this letter. 】

That's all for this first page.

Wang Yu couldn't help but smile, it was really an interesting opening statement.

Even if it's to satisfy your curiosity, you should turn to the second page to see what the mysterious man wants to say to a commander he doesn't know.

He turned the second page of the letter, and the friction between the papers made a nice sound.

[I'm glad you can see this line, which proves that this letter has not become indistinguishable from other paper balls in the wastebasket, but first of all, allow me to apologize for choosing this wayward way to let the letterhead disturb your life.]

However, I hope you don't get me wrong, this letter is definitely not a malicious joke.

In fact, in this way, I am looking for a "pen pal" with the status of a commander.

You must know what this word means.

Just as we can use the Internet as a channel to talk to strangers who are far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, we can use letters as a medium to become pen pals with others and develop a friendship carried in words.

You must be wondering, why does it have to be an epistle?

Pen pals can use e-mail and many other ways to communicate, but this means of correspondence is only a high-cost but inefficient way of communication, and it can even be said to be boring and time-consuming.

But I have a different view.

In the era of fast-paced communication, more and more people choose to pursue the ultimate efficiency of communication, but naturally ignore the communication itself and the ...... transmitted between the communicators.

The text of the letter paused at this point, and the words that followed were written down and crossed out, repeated several times.

Obviously, the other party considered this word several times when writing the letter.

Until the next line.

[Emotion.

That's right, emotion.

When I sat down at my desk and wrote this letter with the tip of my pen, I could even feel that this emotion, which we would normally ignore directly, flowed into words like a clear stream.

I think that through writing, we can produce more direct emotional expressions than words.

In other words, being able to calm down and tell the words of your heart is part of the emotional value in itself.

With the help of words, I don't have to think about all kinds of pressures from the people around me as I normally do...... Etiquette, upbringing, there are too many things that accompany my growth, imprison me like a cage, and make me breathless.

But as I write this letter to you, I can be a pure self and speak freely.

It can also show you who are reading this letter right now that you are who you really are.

The words that I can't speak, the thoughts that I can't express through words, will be faithfully conveyed for me.

I'm sorry, I seem to be a little too far off topic.

I am an immature person who exalts myself for a long time because of a small thing, and even forgets the main point in the letter.

Without further ado, now that you've patiently seen this, I would like to ask you to consider one more of my small requests.

I hope that you, as a commander, will be able to become my pen pal.

As I mentioned earlier, through letters, a special friendship develops.

At first, I wondered if I should just find someone around me to communicate with me, but that would be too pretentious, and the people around me would have too high expectations of me, and it might be difficult for them to understand what I was thinking.

So, at first, I was going to send this letter out at random, to a complete stranger.

And when I saw the blue sea outside the window before I was about to write a letter, a crazy idea came to my mind.

Growing up in a coastal city, I know that there are "sirens" at sea that threaten our survival.

But it seems that as I grew up, the siren's story was like a backdrop in an opera, and it didn't really matter to me, and if it weren't for the news that was often reported, maybe I might even think it was just a rumor.

I know that I have been able to generate such bizarre fantasies because of a group of commanders like you.

But I had no idea about the people who were protecting me and what they were doing.

In my original life trajectory, I probably never crossed paths with a commander in my lifetime.

But I don't want that.

So, when I saw the ships sailing on the sea, I had a very urgent and strong thought.

If you can, become a pen pal with a commander.

Through backward and primitive letters, we slowly understand and get to know each other in communication.

Whew, I've finally finished my inner thoughts.

But it seems that the most important thing has been forgotten.

Since I'm writing to you, it's up to me to introduce myself, eh...... Maybe we shouldn't use real names, pen pals, shouldn't get too involved in each other's lives, then let's use a more appropriate pen name on stationery.

My name is "Elise".

As you can see, it's the name of the flower on the letterhead.

Maybe you're tired of it now, and a letter shouldn't be too much.

More on that should probably be left in the next letter.

So, if you don't mind, there are two brand new pieces of stationery in the envelope, and I sincerely hope to hear from you.

The return address is shown on the back of the letterhead.

But if you don't plan to reply for any reason, you don't have to worry about it, and it's already exciting for me to send a letter full of my thoughts and let you see it.

Finally, I would like to send you my sincere wishes.

May you carve victory on the level of dawn.

Elis]

This is the end of the letter.

"That's really ......"

Wang Yu let out a sigh of relief, then took the envelope and shook it, and sure enough, he shook out two pieces of letterpaper.

He was a little hesitant, it was a simple thing to reply, but should he do it?

Perhaps, if he had been fighting the sirens in the previous world, he would have thrown this letter away after reading it.

After all, in the last world, there was almost no entertainment to speak of.

Even one of his few friends will comment when they meet, "You guy is really boring".

But now......

Maybe it's because coming to this relatively relaxed world has made me feel a little relaxed.

He actually thought that it would be good to reply a letter to this stranger.

Idle is idle anyway.

Mio Habara is right, she should try to get in touch with this era, this world.

Now that the battleship is still under repair, let's start from here.

Wang Yu looked around and saw a café in business.

He took two steps, pushed the door open, ordered a cup of coffee, and asked the bar hosts for a pen.

He sat at a table by the window, amidst the smell of coffee, picking up a pen and writing on brand new letterhead.

【Elis:

Hello.

It's a pleasure to hear from you.

So, to introduce myself, I'm a Commander from the Union Port District, so since we're talking under a pseudonym, call me "Commander" if you will.

Also, since it's friendship, don't use the honorific word "you" anymore.

I already understand the contents of your letter, so I ......]

…………

At dusk, Mio Habara and the others finally finished their afternoon of shopping and returned to the port to meet Wang Yu.

I have to say that they buy enough things.

They bought a whole truckload of things, and in Wang Yu's dull gaze, the truck, which seemed to be able to pull a lot of goods, was driven by the little girl of the destroyer and stopped directly on the dock next to the destroyer's berth.

"How much did you buy?"

"Well, it's a little bit more than usual." Habara Mio glanced at the cargo compartment that was being transported to the destroyer with the help of the dock staff: "This is probably the daily necessities needed for the port area to operate for three months, after all, it is about to be deep winter, and there are sometimes icebergs and other things in the waterway, and it is more troublesome to come here, so I simply buy enough at once." ”

Wang Yu was interested, and approached the goods to take a look.

It was found to contain a bunch of raw and cold ingredients.

"Don't look at the special life form of the ship mother, in fact, like humans, they also need food and clothing."

Mio Habara explained: "There are some things that we need to use in the New Year's Eve celebration ceremony in the port area, although there are not many ship girls in the port area, but there is still some lively sense of ceremony." ”

Wang Yu nodded, and then he remembered that he still had something serious to ask Habara Mio.

"By the way, do you know where to send the letter?"

Habara Mio only found out at this time that Wang Yu was holding an envelope in his hand.

The girl knew Wang Yu's identity, so she was a little surprised, who was he going to send a letter to?

She replied, "There's a place next to the headquarters of the Navy General that sends and receives couriers...... But where are you going to send your letter? ”

Wang Yu glanced at the address written on the envelope: "It is said to be a city called 'Union'. ”

Mio Hahara's complexion suddenly froze.

Wang Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

She quickly came back to her senses and explained simply: "Union City...... It was our capital, the political center of human civilization in this era, and the headquarters of the Navy Administration. ”

Wang Yu was also a little stunned, he looked at the address again, the person on the other side of the emotional letter was still an IP address capital?

You are auspicious Lord of the capital.

When you think about the current location of this small town, there's a beauty to New Yorkers writing letters to Tanzania.

Ahem, it's far away.

Habara Mio looked at the letter in Wang Yu's hand curiously, but Wang Yu didn't have the intention to hide it, and directly let her see the address.

The girl had been to Union City when she was appointed as a commander, but she wasn't familiar with it, so she didn't know what that address represented.

She didn't ask for more content, but took Wang Yu to the express distribution center in this small town and set up an expedited delivery service for Wang Yu.

It is expected that the letter will be delivered to Union City in the near future.

After delivering the letter, Wang Yu returned the card that he basically didn't use to Mio Hahara.

They stayed in a hotel near a port dedicated to the commander and the ship's wife.

"Well, then, I wish you a good night, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to disturb you."

She said she was going to take her to visit the commander's trading center tomorrow.

Although Wang Yu didn't expect to buy anything, he would still visit in line with the principle that it never hurts to see more.

And he also wanted to find out what Mio Hahara was talking about "precious resources in exchange for military merit".
