Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 51 It’s barbecue!

The first rays of morning light come from the mirage of the westerly drifting front.

Saratoga didn't stay in bed today!

She had put on her clothes early and was waiting in front of the office of the Deacon's Mansion.

Huang Jiang walked out of the stairs and was putting his coat on when he was grabbed aside by Jia Jia.

"Did you do something to your sister yesterday?" Jia Jia's eyes were like an owl that saw a mouse, staring sharply into Huang Jiang's eyes.

"What have you done?" Huang Jiang looked confused. I wanted to do something unsightly, but I didn't have the guts.

Jia Jia blushed and continued to question hesitantly: "Are you sure you didn't do anything shameful... or shameful to your sister?"

"What you mean by...the shameful things..."

"It's just... it's just..." Jia Jia let go of her hand, her face was red, and her mouth was like a repeater with a jammed tape. She kept repeating a few words but couldn't come out, "It's just... it's... "

Seeing this, Huang Jiang understood in his heart, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said righteously: "No! Absolutely not!"

"That's it." Jia Jia breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was you, Admiral, who was in such a good mood all of a sudden."

"Is your sister in a good mood?" Huang Jiang was a little surprised. He thought Lexington would be angry because of the nonsense he told last night.

"Yes, she was as happy as when the admiral made an oath to her." Jia Jia described, "My whole body seemed to be floating, and I was even humming a song while taking a shower."

"..." Huang Jiang was silent for a while and asked, "There is something I must confirm. Whose room did you sleep in last night, Miss Saratoga?"

"Of course it's in my sister's room." Gaga said matter-of-factly.

Huang Jiang took a deep breath, raised his hand, and finally gave up helplessly.

"Get ready, we're going to attack later." Huang Jiang opened the office door.

After a while, Lexington appeared in the corridor carrying breakfast.

She was humming a little tune and her gait was light and graceful.

Firefly was still sleeping, and Huang Jiang had no intention of waking her up.

She was also exhausted.

She hurriedly and slowly last night, and finally successfully transported the ship of aluminum to Gloria Island around three o'clock this morning.

After inviting the two sisters to sit down, the three of them ate a breakfast that was a combination of Chinese and Western flavors.

Milk with grilled cold fritters.

Watching Jia Jia put butter on the fried dough sticks, Huang Jiang felt deeply the generation gap between the two sets of eating habits.

After breakfast, they went to the repair room to replenish the ship's equipment, and the three of them rushed to the east side of Gloria Island together.

When they went out again, they met Andersen and his party.

Joyce spoke first. He shook the fat on his face and said enthusiastically: "I have learned everything from Deacon Anders. If necessary, the Merchant Alliance will be happy to assist in the defense of Gloria Island. "

"No need." Huang Jiang said calmly, "Although I am not strong enough, I can still defend here. If Mr. Joyce has free time, he can go to the beach to watch the fighting style of my sea soul."

Joyce was smiling, almost laughing out of his eyes: "That's for sure, I've long wanted to see the legendary fighting spirit of the different sea souls on Cycad Island."

……

……

The group of people took a boat to the east coast of Gloria Island.

Here is a flat grassland.

The grassland spreads around with the small lake as the center. Once here, it slowly thins out and gradually turns into a beach.This place was inaccessible in the past because it faced the west wind drifting front, and there were unpredictable risks.A few days ago, this place became busy. Due to the emergency of the war, in order to reduce the distance, Lexington and Saratoga directly crossed Gloria Island and set off from here to resist the mirage.

But now the war is not so urgent.

The mirage that was staggering towards this side had been under the gaze of the aircraft carrier reconnaissance aircraft.

With reliable information, Huang Jiang can behave more confidently.

He leaned on the railing, his hair and clothes flowing in the sea breeze.

The white hull cut through the calm sea, leaving a white wave on the channel.

"I have no interest in this war anymore. We have already won this war." Huang Jiang said to Joyce, "From now on, I will no longer think about this war. There is only one thing worthy of our concern." The thing—that is, the reconstruction work on Cycad Island and Ongzhu Island in the next few years.”

"I want to know if you are sure about taking this matter down." Huang Jiang looked at Joyce.

"No one can compete with the Business Alliance." Joyce said confidently, but he still had a doubt in his mind, "But in this matter, do you really plan to use steel as a building material on a large scale? You understand Does this mean anything?"

"I need steel to become the mainstream structural material of the Federation." Huang Jiang said calmly, "rather than just being produced as a supply resource for Sea Soul. If it is limited to supplying the Deacon's Palace, the steel industry will not be profitable at all."

"But your thoughts are really... a bit too shocking."

"We already have a more efficient way of producing steel." Huang Jiang looked at Kalecki standing aside. He had chatted with the 30-year-old man all night.

Kalecki Andrew, an ordinary person without Haiwu's talent, has a better vision than most deacons.He saw through the laws of how the world works and grasped its fundamentals very accurately.

If there was no Huang Jiang, he would have entered the steel industry according to his own choice and become the king of steel in the entire world.

Kalecki-Andrew, the builder of the first steel bridge in the Blue Federation.

"I can guarantee it." Kaleji assured with Huang Jiang's permission, "As long as a certain output is reached, the production cost of steel will be reduced to a fascinating number."

Joyce was still skeptical.

However, the movement in the distance gave him no time to refute.

A mirage appears.

However, this time, they did not bring fear, but instead caused most people on the ship to fall into confusion and surprise.

Boy, what a bunch of mirages they saw!
Almost none of the mirages' limbs were intact. Their barrels were twisted and broken, and blood spilled from the wounds, evaporating into purple mist in the air.

Purple mist enveloped the entire mirage army, but it lost the mystery and terror of the past, leaving only a lifeless atmosphere.

Lexington and Saratoga unfolded their battleships, and carrier-based aircraft roared into the sky.

After a while, fire and explosions came from the distance.

Balls of exploding fire hit the sight of everyone on board.They couldn't even see the mirage under the blazing fire. The thick smoke and fire had completely enveloped the sea.

On Jialan Island, the islanders who were out grazing also noticed the movement here. They came over curiously and pointed to the east.

There was an eerie silence on the ship, and most people stared blankly at the scene of the mirages being slaughtered. They had never thought that facing two to three hundred mirages could be so easy.

Huang Jiang chatted with Lexington for a while and felt that the atmosphere was about the same. He patted Gaga on the head who was on a errand and walked towards the crowd.

"What a nice surprise." Anders said.

"I told you last night." Huang Jiang walked to Andersen and said with a smile, "My favorite thing is barbecue."

　Ask for collection!Ask for a recommendation!
