infinite creative mode

Saying so, Kashima involuntarily showed a lonely smile.

Seeing her like this, Steve stepped forward and knocked her on the head: "Then you will have a lot of work now, in addition to the affairs of the secretary ship, you also need to train the goblin crew. You will be busy in the future." of."

"Yes! Mr. Admiral!" Kashima gave a military salute.

Chapter 93 The Beautiful and Funny Woman

Two hundred nautical miles is not a long distance for the ship's mother, but for the ship group, even if they are heading towards each other, they will not be able to meet until the next day.

Of course, the colliding mentioned here does not mean that the convoys collide with the convoys.

There will be a certain distance between the convoys and the convoys will travel in the same direction, but they will not be connected directly.Because the management of personnel is very troublesome, especially for relatively large fleets, it would be bad if some bad guys sneak in from other fleets.

Everyone brings the things they want to exchange, and each side sends out a relatively large boat to trade on the boat.After the transaction is over, count the number of people, and after the number of people is confirmed to be correct, they leave separately.This is how ordinary fleets trade on the fleet.

For relatively large transactions, the price is directly negotiated, and the goods are directly transported by boat, and the other party sends people to carry the other party's ship group.Then just deliver the exchanged goods.

During the period, both parties sent out a ship escort to ensure the fairness and justice of the transaction, and there would be no robbery of goods or forced buying and selling.

Originally, Kashima was supposed to come out to maintain order, but the secretary ship was too busy, and the ship outfit for the shoes was snatched away by the vicious square-faced admiral, so she could only hurry up and stay in the town guard mansion to train the goblins up.

According to the usual practice, the boats are exchanged for relatively small fleets, so it is natural that Bugas will take things to exchange.

The task of escorting the bulk trading ship was naturally given to Weier. After all, Bugas is too small. The so-called bulk trading is actually just that the ship owners want to trade some steel and oil. You can put it down, it's just some fish oil and agricultural products.

In addition, Aisha and the others drove their salvage boat over to change some things. Naturally, these things were the ship equipment that had been salvaged before. As for the metal plates, they had already been digested by Bugas internally.

As for Steve, he was also full of wood to be exchanged, and went to the dock of the Dempsey Ship Group with Aisha and the others.

This fleet called Dempsey is much larger than Bugas, because there is a floating island in the center of the fleet.

Floating islands are actually four or five large ships, completely abandoning the flexibility of being a ship, and are completely spliced ​​into a whole piece of mobile land on the sea.In this case, the usable area is much larger than the residence transformed from a simple ship.

Of course, doing so is not without risk.

In case of a storm, such a floating island is actually very dangerous. If it is not done well, it may be broken and damaged. A small boat group like Bugas definitely dare not make such a big thing.

"I think we can get one!" Steve, standing on the deck with others, held his chin and seriously considered the possibility of building a floating island.

In this regard, Nelson, who was explaining the rules among the ship groups to Steve, could only laugh... No way, after all, it is really hard to say that he will not turn around and build a floating island for you. At that time, Nelson felt that he could only find a way to change the subject.

"Ah... look, my lord, that's the ship's wife of the other party's guardian mansion!"

Weier stood on the sea more than ten meters to the left of the salvage ship, and on the sea not far away, there was also a girl with pink hair. Her single ponytail was very long, hanging down to the bend of her leg. Because it is too long.The ponytail was tied back and forth with a hair band, so that no matter how the sea breeze blows, it will not be raised too high.

Seeing the ship's wife guarding the other side's mansion, Weier speeded up and drove over.

The other party also drove over, and stopped tacitly on the sea about tens of meters away.

Weier looked at each other, looking at her sailor costume, she seemed to have a familiar taste, but on the surface she still had that completely expressionless face: "Ver, who belongs to the Bugas tutelary mansion, is here to perform escort missions, Request guidance from your ship!"

"Dempsey's tutelary mansion belongs, Yura, I will guide you into the dock this time, please slow down the speed of the boat and follow me." After speaking, Yura turned around and started to drive back.

"So Yura..." Weier muttered.

Originally, she was just muttering in a low voice, but unexpectedly, Yu Liang heard this. She turned her head and looked at Wei Er: "What? You...know me?"

Now that the other party has heard it, then admit it frankly, Weier nodded and said lightly: "Well, I know, you are Yura of the No. [-] Nagara-type light cruiser."

Unexpectedly, the other party would be able to report his own background in one bite, which made Yu Liang very puzzled.

She frowned and looked at Weier carefully, and made sure that she had never met the other party... Since she had not met the other party, it might be the fate of her previous life: "Who... are you? From your outfit, it seems It's a Soviet ship, but how have I ever dealt with a Soviet ship! But your sailor suit is quite familiar, and it always feels a bit like a six-wheel drive, but the six-wheel drive sailor suit is not white like this. ..."

Mentioning the word "six-driver", Weier's body couldn't help shaking, lowered his head slightly, deliberately suppressed the flatness of his tone, and said mechanically: "I am Weier, a Soviet ship, not the same as Liudriver. relation."

While speaking, the girl pulled off the brim of her hat with her hand.

Since the other party said no, then no, Yu Liang was not persistent, but just looked at her with an inexplicable look, and didn't plan to investigate further.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wei Er suddenly asked again: "This tutelary mansion... has... six-drive... destroyers?"

Yu Liang could clearly feel the psychological activities of this ship girl, but she didn't care, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and she didn't want to pry into the thoughts of a strange ship girl.

So Yura just said absent-mindedly: "Yes, Dian-chan is here, why, do you know the Sixth Destroyer?"

"Ah... no, it's nothing, I don't know her, I just asked." Weier lowered her head and lowered the brim of her hat even lower.

Yura smiled slightly, she glanced at the silver-haired girl, and said no more.

Under the guidance of Yu Liang, the two ships sailed into the temporary dock of the Dempsey convoy one after the other. This so-called dock is actually a lifting device erected between the two ships.

The device across two ships can lift all the goods in the middle ship, which is something that Bugas does not have.Steve thought it was quite novel, and he had some ideas when he went back to see if he could build such a device.

According to the agreement signed on the ship, the wood shipped this time should be exchanged for 800 units of oil and 1000 units of ammunition.

Steve's order was the largest of all transactions. In order to avoid shocking the world, under Nelson's persuasion, Steve reluctantly agreed to put the wood he wanted to exchange in the cabin and let them slowly transport it out. As for the inventory exchange Nelson is solely responsible for the work.

After arranging tasks for others, Steve himself was idle, which made him a little uncomfortable.

According to the rules, without the other party's permission, it is not allowed to go out of the boat casually, so Steve is now sitting on the side of the boat bored, with his legs hanging outside the side of the boat and wandering.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone's voice below.

...Wait, next?

Steve stretched his head forward, and saw a short-haired girl in a swimsuit and upper body sailor suit poking her head out of the water and beckoning to him: "Hi! Do you remember Bitter Melon? The amazing human-san!"

"Ah, Yi 58, I just said why I didn't see you." Steve also waved his hand to greet her.

"Because it's Miss Yuliang who is in charge of guiding! Bitter Gourd is a submarine, so I can't be a guiding pro, but I still sneak over to greet you... By the way, the admiral will probably come to you later, you should pay attention Oh! The admiral of Bitter Melon is a fierce relative."

"Uh...Is that so? I thought I had no chance to see him...Where is he?"

"Bitter Melon doesn't know... Ah, King Kong Sang! The admiral must have asked her to come! Bitter Melon has been withdrawn, and Bitter Melon doesn't want to be lazy and get caught. Anyway, you have to be careful kissing!"

With a plop, Yi 58 dived rapidly.

...King Kong Mulberry?

Steve raised his head, only to see a tall woman with a completely different temperament from ordinary humans coming from a distance.The clothes she was wearing were honestly a bit weird, and Steve couldn't quite tell what kind of clothes it was.

The upper body looks like a kimono, and it looks a bit like a maiden's costume, while the lower body is made of high-heeled shoes and boots, giving off an aura of royal sister.As for the two dumplings on the head and the strangely shaped golden headband, it is even more strange. No matter how you look at it, the decorative effect is greater than the actual effect.All of this shows that this must be the ship girl, because it is impossible to see such a fancy dress on a human female.

The other party came to Steve and looked across the boat from him: "Hey! I am the secretary ship of this fleet's tutelary mansion, King Kong de-su, please give me your advice."

... This secretary is really cheerful.

"Oh, hello, I'm Steve, uh... the admiral of Bugas." Steve stood up and replied solemnly.

"Ah! It really is you! Our admiral wants to invite you to the tea time (tea party) de-su! I wonder if you would appreciate it? For you, we have prepared scones waiting for you (waiting for you) !" The other party made a gesture of invitation.

...Can this guy talk properly?

A thought popped into Steve's mind.

...But I thought about Yi 58's way of saying that it is always bitter gourd, dear dear... Could it be the special habit of the admiral of the tutelary mansion?Or is that just normal?Then do you want Kashima and Weier to do the same?

Strange thoughts circling in his mind, Steve still climbed over the hanging ladder.

Chapter 94 Can You Guess?

Following the ship girl named King Kong to Dempsey's fleet, Steve looked around curiously.

Although the Dempsey Fleet is much larger than Bugas, the layout is not looser than Bugas.In the streets formed by the boat groups, people still have to walk close to the side of the ship. Some larger ships, the ones with several buildings, simply welded a fixed walkway on the outer extension of the ship.In addition to allowing pedestrians to come and go, the windows that open on the side of the ship can also be turned into a storefront.

Just as Steve was looking up at the design on the opposite boat, wondering if he wanted to get a boat with this structure when he went back, King Kong who was walking in front suddenly turned around and said, "That...thank you .”

The other party spoke so suddenly, Steve didn't realize what she was for a while: "Ah? What did you say?"

"I said, thank you, thank you for saving Bitter Gourd Sauce, that child is the only submarine in this tutelary mansion, and the task is usually too heavy, I really hope the admiral can understand de-su."

Turning around, the beautiful ship lady bowed her head slightly, and thanked her sincerely.But for this, Steve just blinked and scratched his head, he really didn't think there was anything to be grateful for in this kind of thing.

"Ah? That...it's nothing, I'm not saving her, I'm just saving myself."

"But even so, I still have to thank you!" As the other party suddenly opened his arms and was about to rush towards him, Steve subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the other party stopped in the middle: "Oh, sorry, sorry , My first admiral told me that I can’t do this to others casually... Ahem... Well, anyway, I really appreciate you, and I hope I can get your help de-su this time as well."

After speaking, the other party turned around in a proper manner and continued to lead the way.

Leaving Steve with a bewildered expression...

Following King Kong to Dempsey's tutelary mansion, Steve found that it was quite different from what he had imagined.

He originally thought that the tutelary mansion was like Bugas, where two ships were connected to form a platform, and then a house was built on top of it.

But Dempsey's tutelary mansion is just a ship, and it is also a ship in the style of a battleship.It seems that they can break away from the fleet and fight independently at any time.Coming to the ship along the hanging ladder, a brown-haired girl was waiting by the side: "King Kong-sang, welcome back! Admiral-san of Bugas, please give me your advice. I am the third ship of the Xiao-class destroyer!"

...Akatsuki-class destroyer?Steve blinked, as if he had heard this term before.But now there is not much time for him to think about it.

"Hi, my name is Steve."

"That, King Kong-sang, leave it to me! Mr. Steve, Mr. Commander has been waiting for you for a long time, so please come over and tell me."

"OK! I'll leave it to you!" King Kong smiled brightly at Steve and waved goodbye to him.

Follow the girl named Dian all the way to the bridge, open the hatch, and see a middle-aged man sitting on the other side of the room, this layout Steve has naturally seen, this is the layout of the admiral's room.I don't know why Kashima insisted on this place, and insisted on putting a desk and chair directly opposite the door of the room.

But now Steve vaguely felt the purpose of doing so.

For example, at this time, the admiral of Dempsey is sitting behind that desk with his back to him.As a person who just entered the room, Steve felt that this layout could maintain a certain majesty, which could deter those who entered the room for the first time.

Of course, although he still felt that it was useless.

"Commander, tell me as soon as Mr. Steve arrives." This girl named Dian also likes to put a mouthful at the end of every sentence.

...Is it true that all ship girls are like this?

When Steve was still struggling with the problem of mouth addiction, the other party had already waved his hand, "I see, let's get you down!"

"Yes, Commander." With that said, the girl stepped back out of the room and closed the door of the admiral's room.The attitude of the girl walking out caught Steve's attention.

... Uh, is the ship's wife going to be so respectful?

At this time, the other party turned around while sitting: "Hello, my name is Edward, and I am the admiral of this tutelary mansion."

When the cropped man turned around, Steve froze for a moment... Unexpectedly, the other person also had a square face, which made Steve look a little friendly, but this well-defined square face was wrinkled. The frowning one looked seven-point serious and three-point hostile at first glance.

"Hi, my name is Steve, and I'm the admiral of Bugas."

Seeing Steve's appearance, the other party seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but quickly changed his face again: "Ah... I know this, Yi 58 has already reported it to me, the incompetent subordinate has caused you trouble ,I'm really sorry."

Although the other party said so, he didn't look embarrassed at all... because at this time, he was sitting on the admiral's chair, and Steve was standing opposite the desk.

But Steve didn't know much about the knowledge of this position and social status.

He sat down directly on the sofa in the admiral's room, then picked up the grapes on the coffee table and stuffed them into his mouth: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm helping myself!"

The other party seemed a bit overwhelmed by Steve's familiarity, which was completely different from the admiral he imagined from Kugua's description.

Bitter Gourd said that the other party was a tall, chiseled man.

A man who can help Yi 58 defeat the opponent without injury in the sea, and according to the intelligence, the previous intelligence, Bugas only had this admiral not long ago, and the intelligence said that he quickly built a second Ship girl, then the other party must be a vigorous and resolute character.

In his vision, the other party should be an admiral who behaves well, is personable, walks like a dragon and a tiger, and acts calmly and pretentiously.

But what's the matter with this guy?Why did you sit down without waiting for your invitation?Or is it that the other party is testing himself?Want to embarrass yourself in this way and gain an advantage in negotiation?

A lot of thoughts flashed through Edward's mind, and it took him a little time to calm down.Fortunately, the other party was eating and didn't notice the situation on his side.

"Ahem... Well, Admiral Steve, how do you feel about coming to Dempsey?"

...Yes, let's exchange some pleasantries first, and then confirm the character of the other party.

"It's pretty good! Well, that floating island is amazing, and I want to get one when I go back." Steve was indeed very impressed with that thing.

... Floating island?get one?Isn't that something from the fleet?What does the tutelary government want the floating island to do?is he kidding me?

Edward felt that the other party was talking nonsense, but it was not easy to dispel it: "The floating island is good, but if it's the battle of the tutelary fort, I think a single ship is more suitable!"

"Uh, oh...that's what you mean!" Steve instantly understood why the other party set up the tutelary fort on a separate ship, "In other words, your tutelary fort is attacking with the fleet? "

"Yes! Only in this way can we grasp the battle situation anytime and anywhere!" Seeing the surprised expression on the opponent's face, Edward was a little proud.

"But... isn't it easy to be targeted like this? The target is so big!"

"With the protection of the ship's mother, the problem is not too big, and it will not go too deep into the war zone." Edward explained, "And if the tutelary fort has some resources, this can also shorten the supply route."

"Oh...that's it." Steve nodded, it seems that other tutelary forts also have their own solutions, "but what if you encounter a situation where you can't fight and need to escape? The tutelary fort ships with resources can't run fast, right? !"

In terms of combat, Steve's first consideration is naturally the issue of retreat, and this issue is exactly the disadvantage of the battleship tutelary mansion: "Ahem, it is indeed a bit inconvenient in this regard... However, as long as there is no mistake in the tactical decision, No problem!"

"...Is that so...then...this method is not suitable for me!"

Steve thought about it seriously. He felt that it was obviously impossible to calculate everything on the battlefield. His favorite thing was to adapt to the situation.
