Chapter 037 Borrowing a boat
Although Wang Yu wanted to build the fleet quickly, he couldn't conjure up the materials needed to build the ship out of thin air.
He wants all kinds of materials now, and he can only go through Mio Hawara's relationship.
One way is to use the raw materials directly from her port stockpile, but she has just finished repairing the ship for herself, and the landlord's family does not have much food to spare.
Wang Yu can't do such a painful thing as directly asking others to provide materials to help him build a ship.
The second way is to go to sea to fight the sirens, and rely on combat military merits to exchange materials with the Admiralty.
This method was favored by Wang Yu at the beginning, Annapolis itself has a strong combat power, and the appearance of the ship's mother is even more powerful, which can play a great role in the process of fighting the sirens.
In this way, he was able to help Mio Hawara clear more of the Siren fleet that was wandering across the ocean.
In this way, his request for ship-building materials can be regarded as justified.
However, it is now a cold winter, the daily temperature has fallen below minus 10 degrees, basically two or three days is a snow, and the calm bay area on the shore with no water waves has even shown signs of freezing.
Obviously not a good climate to go out and fight.
Mio Habara had told him before that her harbor fleet would not go out to clear the sirens in the winter, and it would be a holiday for the ship's wives, and the warships would either enter the dry dock and park, or soak in the harbor, waiting for the climate to warm up in the spring of the next year before leaving the port.
No one wanted to go out to fight, and Wang Yu couldn't tie her up.
Wang Yu thought about going out with a single ship to fight with a small-scale siren fleet, but after considering the pros and cons, he still gave up this plan - in case the battleship was injured, he had to come back to find Mio Hahara, and the gains outweighed the losses.
So, now he can only hope for the last way-
A special mission of this world Navy Administration.
As mentioned earlier, the Navy Administration sometimes sends some special missions to each commander, which are completed by the commanders of each port area, and these special missions are usually accompanied by rich rewards - although Mio Habara does not plan to go out of the port to fight in the winter, if there is such a special mission, she will also make an exception.
Mio Hawara's idea is simply that it is not possible to fight spontaneously, but if there is a mission, it will still be accepted.
For example, the last mission that allowed her to meet Wang Yu was a small special mission, and she also received a certain amount of military merit points and resource rewards, which were put into Mio Habara's Minato warehouse during the maintenance period in Annapolis.
Wang Yu thought that when he encountered these special tasks, he would go in and make a contribution to get a piece of the pie.
It's just that these special tasks are generally accompanied by emergencies, such as the sudden appearance of a large number of sirens blocking the shipping lanes in a certain place, such as clearing the key siren fleet, such as escorting important people from the Navy General Administration.
All in all, these tasks are hard to come by.
Even if there is, it may not necessarily be the turn of the United Port area where Mio Habara is located.
Therefore, Wang Yu did not wait for a similar situation.
This also made him extremely depressed, and it seems that he can only wait for the second way in the spring of next year.
…………
Time passed slowly, and Wang Yu began to get used to the feeling of being accompanied by someone.
Unable to sail out of the harbor, he and Anna settled in the two-story building.
During the day, Wang Yu either holds all kinds of books in this world and reads them carefully to learn more about this world, or he conceives the future direction of himself and Anna through notes.
And Anna will use some strange means to connect with the ship's ability - specifically to control the hull across a certain distance, for example, many times, Wang Yu can see that although Anna is sitting peacefully not far from him, the guns of the Annapolis anchored on the sea are constantly rotating and pitching......
At night, they sit by the warm fireplace and talk about what they want to talk about, letting the conversation fly freely.
Wang Yu seems to have regained the warmth of his long-lost "home".
Of course, occasionally they will also walk around to see the winter scenery of this fjord in the Habara Mio port area.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching.
Although the two worlds have similar divisions of years, months and days, but the dates are still different, when Wang Yu left the last world, the season over there should still be spring, and when he arrived in this world, it was indeed the late autumn season.
So with the arrival of the New Year, Wang Yu can be regarded as a little emotional.
I just passed the New Year not long ago, and now I have to celebrate the New Year again.
This new year is endless.
The port area of Mio Habara is also gradually becoming lively.
They seem to have a custom for the Chinese New Year, and Wang Yu sits by the window every day, and he can see that all kinds of buildings are being decorated with colorful lanterns and ribbons—even the warships parked in the harbor are more or less decorated......
On a whim, Wang Yu discussed with Anna whether to decorate the small building where the two lived together.
Anna thought about it, built a ladder to climb up to the roof, and carved a flower on the thick snow on the roof......
Wang Yu was speechless.
But eating is still one of the most important items in this house - Anna got a lot of ingredients from the battleship, plus some things sent by Mio Habara, she can make the daily meals in full style.
Fortunately, under Wang Yu's persuasion, she limited the amount of meals she could eat every day to the extent that the two of them could finish it.
And on New Year's Eve, she seemed to make a table full of meals for celebration.
The corners of Wang Yu's mouth twitched as he looked at the plates on the square table - what is pain, it is when the world's top food is placed in front of you, but you know that it is difficult to eat it all because of the limitation of the amount of food.
And just when he wanted to tell Anna to stop for a while, Mio Habara suddenly stepped into the snow to visit.
"I wish you a happy new year in advance."
She brought some small gifts and was smiling.
Wang Yu welcomed her very much, and in line with the principle of wasting a little less, he hurriedly invited her to sit down and eat together.
Mio Habara wanted to refuse, but when she walked into the house and saw the sumptuous meal on the dining table, and Anna, who was still serving dishes from the kitchen, she was dumbfounded.
The so-called food is full of color and flavor, although Mio Habara didn't eat it in her mouth, but by looking and smelling, she knew that the taste of these meals would definitely not be bad.
She looked at the table, then at Anna, "...... Why is Miss Annapolis so good at cooking? ”
Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders: "It's just that I've done a little too much, so it's just right for you to come...... Doesn't your ship's mother know how to cook? ”
Mio Habara sat in her seat confusedly: "Yes, yes, Miss King Kong is very good at making black tea, Miss Amagi and Mrs. Kazao also know a lot of heavy cherry cooking, Eugen is a good at making chocolate, but there is no one who can be as versatile as Miss Annapolis...... I see that there are dishes, soups and desserts on this table, and the dishes are very different......"
Wang Yu sighed: "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there is an advanced galley on Anna's hull......"
Mio Habara: "? ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about that."
Wang Yu handed her a pair of chopsticks: "I came here on such a cold day, just to give me an early year?" ”
When Mio Hahara heard this, he hurriedly slapped his forehead: "By the way, I was interrupted by you and forgot everything I was going to say, yes, I came here this time because I hope you can help, I came to borrow a boat from you." ”
"Borrow a boat?" Wang Yu subconsciously looked at the battleship moored on the sea outside the window: "Annapolis? ”
"Yes, just now, I received a message from the Navy General Administration that there is an urgent siren interception mission that requires a certain number of warships from my port area, so I need the support of you and your warships - of course, I will not let you help for free."
When Wang Yu heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced.
This is exactly what I wanted, I was thinking that I would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, and this is just right.
