Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 722 If you don’t know how to play emotional drama, then just be a fool!
As evening fell, when the hands of the clock tower pointed to six o'clock, the street lights on both sides of the street were lit almost at the same time.In the Blue Federation, in important cities, especially near the Deacon's Palace, street lamps are very common decorations. They are often used by local deacons to show off their financial resources, abilities and power, and have no practical function.In the eyes of ordinary people at that time, what could be more respectable than bringing light at night?
As the pace of industrialization and electrification draws closer, the role of street lights has slowly begun to change from a noble symbol in the past to today's infrastructure.The person who created this precedent was naturally the person crossing the Yellow River.Huang Jiang never thought that street lamps could also become a symbol of power, but after thinking about it, alcohol, which is now an ordinary drink, was still used for sacrifices in ancient times, so it is not surprising.

Different from traditional gas street lamps, Jialan's street lamps naturally use electricity. In order to control the unified lighting and shutting down of street lamps and ensure that if one street lamp breaks down on the line, it will not affect other street lamps, the original design also consumes a lot of money. It took a lot of effort.Of course, the effort was only spent on Gloria Island. On other islands, especially starting from Iris Island, every construction project in Gloria Territory has already reserved pipeline channels.

Huang Jiang stood in front of the window, watching the dim light frame lighting up a small area on the road. Mosquitoes were flying around the light bulb, seeming to be curious about what this glowing sphere was.A moth strikes the glass of a lightbulb tirelessly.It seemed that the force of the impact was so strong that he could faintly hear the impact even standing so far away.

The door of the room was opened.

Rodney tiptoed in, wearing regular clothes.

Huang Jiang turned around and looked at Rodney who was holding a pot of black tea.

"It's really disappointing. I thought Miss Rodney would come here in a maid outfit." Huang Jiang said half-jokingly.

Rodney shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "I don't have a hobby of prestige. If you are really obsessed with this kind of dress, I can just... let Miss Hood try it."

"You just wanted to cheat, right?" Huang Jiang said.

Rodney placed the plate on the table.

"Really." Huang Jiang tapped his shoulder, "She is also your flagship after all. It's not good to play tricks on her like this."

"If you encourage me directly, Commander, the effect may be better." Rodney came over and whispered, "You are the protagonist of our lives."

Huang Jiang was a little embarrassed and subconsciously touched his nose.

Rodney clapped his hands gently, pointed at Huang Jiang's movements, as if his evil plot had succeeded, and said, "Look, the protagonist's exclusive movements."

Huang Jiang spread his hands, then picked up the teacup on the table. Rodney picked up the teapot and filled the cup with black tea.

Seeing Rodney take back the teapot, Huang Jiang finally said: "Really, who taught you this kind of thing?"

"Tirpitz, her way of thinking and knowledge perspective are the closest to yours, Commander. This makes us a little envious." Rodney poured himself a cup, took a sip, and looked into the teacup. He asked for tea and sighed, "It's not as good as Reputation's tea, and it's not as good as Hood's."

"It's already pretty good." Huang Jiang finished the drink.

"This is not like drinking black tea." Rodney glanced at Huang Jiang complainingly.

Huang Jiang said truthfully: "To me, drinks are only good, bad and undrinkable."

"If you tell Miss Hood this, you will be shot."

"Huh?" Huang Jiang was a little surprised.

"You have no idea about the Royal Navy's pursuit of black tea." Rodney shook the teacup in his hand and sighed.She was no longer surprised by Huang Jiang's slowness.

"No." Huang Jiang quickly explained, "I'm just surprised that I didn't get shot when I complained about Hood's cat."

"..." Rodney was silent for a while, and looked at Huang Jiang with very strange eyes, "So what you care about is this, not black tea. It seems that Tirpitz is right, Commander, you really He is a complete gentleman."

"The gentleman you call should be the gentleman in the traditional sense of your Royal Navy, right?" Huang Jiang asked guiltily.

"Yes," said Rodney, "in every sense of the word."

Huang Jiang was helpless. It seemed that it would be impossible to eliminate the completely unnecessary knowledge that Tirpitz had instilled in the minds of other ship girls in a short period of time.

Rodney put the teacup in her hand and finally asked the question she was more concerned about: "How is the situation on the other side of the Violet Sea today?"

"At the beginning, except for a battle with Mirage's fighter jets and the elimination of some of Mirage's maritime troops, there was no other action for the time being." Huang Jiang said. "That's it."

"What? Are you worried about Hu De and the others?" Huang Jiang asked.

Rodney hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "After all, it is such a dangerous mission."

"Instead of worrying about Hu De and the others, I'm more worried about whether they will move forward according to my plan." Huang Jiang closed the window, and the summer sea breeze was still a bit cold. "Hu De and the others can always give me some new ideas." If you don’t go deep behind enemy lines when the time comes, I will believe you if you can capture the tea island by the way."

"Relying on Hood and the others alone, we won't have enough troops," Rodney said.

"...It seems that they have really had such an idea."

"Uh..." Rodney fell into silence.

Huang Jiang looked at Rodney who sat down and covered his forehead: "It seems that you have discussed it very seriously."

"It's a deduction." Rodney emphasized. "The information brought back by the submarines is so complete that it is normal for the ship girl to not be able to resist deduction."

Huang Jiang looked at Rodney suspiciously.

Rodney and Huang Jiang looked at each other for five seconds, and finally turned away with a slightly red face.

"Are you shy?" Huang Jiang asked coldly.

"No! I'm guilty!" Rodney argued.

"..." Huang Jiang smiled and said nothing.

"...Why don't you act according to common sense!" Rodney puffed up his cheeks angrily.

Huang Jiang walked over and sat next to Rodney. Looking at Rodney whose cheeks were red with anger, he asked with a smile: "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"What's good?" Rodney rolled his eyes, "It doesn't feel good to be played with by a piece of wood."

"Okay, okay. This time it's really because of the conditions that we can't send out your low-speed warships." Huang Jiang patted Rodney's shoulder.

Rodney stiffened slightly for a few seconds, then relaxed.

"So that's why." Rodney covered his face and said softly.

"Maryland has been harassing me through the sea fog every day recently." Huang Jiang said, "Now that I have discovered your little thoughts, I am not qualified to do my job."

"You've never been good at your job!" Rodney said angrily.

"Ugh?"

"Humph!"

Rodney stood up, stretched, and murmured as he walked out:

"I thought Lexington had made some progress after being trained for so long, but in the end he was still a piece of wood..."
