infinite creative mode

Edward didn't expect that the other party was really thinking about revising the tutelary mansion... He really was thinking about this?The construction of the tutelary fort is generally a matter of several generations, or is it that the tutelary fort in Bugas is so dilapidated that it doesn't matter if you can change the structure at will?

There are a lot of doubts, of course, Edward knows that this is not the purpose of today's conversation.Since the other party has a more easy-going personality, let's go directly to the topic!

He himself felt that it was a bit arrogant to always sit like this. Edward stood up from the chair, walked to sit next to Steve, and said, "Mr. Steve! I have something to do now, and I may need your assistance."

Hearing this, Steve nodded unsurprisingly: "Well, is it the deep-sea fleet or the resource point that you want to help fight?"

Edward was taken aback by Steve's words, and he became nervous: "You know?"

"I don't know! Why else would I ask you?" Steve glanced at Edward with your strange eyes.

...Uh, that's right, it's normal for an admiral with this talent to guess one or two.Edward cleared his throat again: "Actually, it's not too much trouble... About a week ago, my fleet discovered an island in the southwest... Originally, we thought it was the territory of other admirals, or it was a deep sea Those who occupied the island did not dare to get too close, for fear of causing trouble. As a result..."

Speaking of this, Edward stopped, and he looked at Steve with mysterious eyes.

"The result?" Steve blinked, "How did it turn out?"

"Guess..." Edward showed a very awkward smile.

Chapter 95 The History of the Ship Girl

If it was someone else, seeing the playful expression on that Fang's face, they would probably slap him.A guy who owes such a beating can't live for more than three days in other places.

But Steve didn't think too much about it. He thought about it seriously: "An uninhabited island with plundering value?"

"Uh... you actually know?"

"I guess." Steve said as a matter of course, "If it was an ordinary island, it would have been occupied long ago, and if you ask me for help, it means that your fleet is not strong enough, and occupying the island may not necessarily hold it. ;Then the only possibility is that this island has valuable things that can be taken away."

... This person is really pretending!

Induced by huge benefits, Edward began to repeatedly revise his evaluation of Steve.If this guy is easy to use, then sell less benefits, if it is not easy to use, then sell more.It is precisely because this discovery is so important that he has become so hesitant.

"Uh... yes, in fact, the general situation is like this," Edward slowly revealed the detailed situation while organizing his words: "When my fleet encountered that island before, it didn't dare to approach it. , but because of an accident, we discovered the wreckage on that island."

"Wreckage? Is it another battlefield where someone else fought?" Steve felt like a scavenger at sea.

"We thought so at the beginning, but in fact, the situation is not that simple," Edward paused, "At that time, we thought it was the battlefield after the battle of other fleets, so I ordered the submarines in the fleet to go down to see if there were any Something worth picking up along the way."

"Um……"

"Then, we found the complete hull..." Having said that, Edward paused, "It's not the hull of a sunken ordinary ship, but the hull of a warship."

"warship?"

"Yes, warship." Edward's expression was very serious: "I don't know Admiral Steve, do you know the origin of the warship girls, they are all the souls of warships in the last land civilization era in this world reincarnated here Yes. But there were a lot of warships at that time. In fact, there will be warships in every era, but according to the records, it seems that only warships that have participated in wars will become ship girls, so most of the ship girls are from World War II. .”

"Oh..." Steve didn't understand this aspect at all, so he could only nod foolishly.

"At that time, there were indeed a lot of famous ships. Unfortunately, the combat effectiveness of warships was limited, so it restricted the combat effectiveness of the ship's own mother." Speaking of the key point, Edward swallowed, "The wreckage of the warship we found was from World War II. The last warship...do you understand what this means?"

"Uh..." Since the relics of the ship's mother can be built in the construction formation, the original hull can also be regarded as the relic of the ship's mother... After classifying them simply, Steve said: "Use the construction formation to build them. ?”

"That's right! That's it!" Edward's clenched fists began to tremble, "It is said that after that war, the power of battleships has been greatly improved, which is not comparable to that of warships during World War II. If such a warship can be built If the ship girl, then the deep sea fleet can be completely wiped out!"

"Oh..." In fact, Steve didn't have a good idea of ​​the reason for Edward's excitement, "Well...then you just drag that boat back. What does this have to do with the uninhabited island?"

"Uh... just can't be dragged back... It's very difficult to salvage a warship in the deep sea," Edward showed an embarrassed expression, "and according to the results of Yi-58's reconnaissance, there are similar wrecks on that island. But there are also wrecks in that place." There are resources in the deep sea, so we need human help to see if we can plunder the wreckage directly from the island."

Steve just remembered that people in this world don't seem to be able to knock things off like him. If so, he can find a way to go to that place and knock the warship back directly... The other party is just the admiral he met for the first time , so Steve kept an eye on the rare thing and didn't say anything, but continued following the other party's topic.

"But if there are resource points in the deep sea over there, it will not be easy for us to go to the island! And we should not be enough alone!"

This point touched Edward's heart: "Yeah... the most troublesome thing now is that we don't know how much power the opponent has and how much troops we need to accumulate to attack. This is the most troublesome thing. Every force is equal to power! My idea is to gather more troops, and then we will attack the island together, so that maybe we can directly capture there without wandering around at sea."

On this point, Steve agrees: "Well, the land is very important."

"Right! Everyone is the admiral of the ship regiment. Although they are not big, they have their own ambitions!" Edward felt as if he had found a common topic with Steve, and leaned forward while talking, " At that time, regardless of the size of the fleet, everyone will have a place, isn't that great?"

"Oh, yes!"

"That's right, this is a difficult time, everyone should help each other!" Edward patted Steve on the shoulder, "Dianjiang! Serve the prepared black tea and snacks!"

"Okay, Commander, wait a moment!"

The discussions have reached a consensus, but there is still a lack of specific plans for the time being.But since we are already partners, we naturally want to get closer.

The ship lady named Dian skillfully placed the tea set and snacks on the coffee table, and poured the tea carefully.At this moment, King Kong suddenly rushed in: "Ah! Admiral, you finally finished talking, I have been waiting for tea time for a long time de-su!"

"Ahem...Admiral Steve is here, King Kong, please pay attention."

"That's not what you said! Tea time is very important de-su, and its importance even takes precedence over supplies!"

"...Then don't eat so many resources from me next time, okay, I will prepare tea parties for you every day..."

"Hey... I can't dispatch de-su without supplies... Is this also a NO problem?"

It seems that the daily life of the tutelary mansion over there has become troublesome, but Steve is still immersed in the information given by Edward.

It has to be said that Edward's plan and proposal are very tempting.

If there is land, there are too many things Steve can do by himself.If what the other party said is true, even if you don't have to put in too much effort, you can still get a considerable reward.

Of course, the premise of all this is if what the other party said is true.

For this, Steve is still sober.

Although Edward drew a beautiful pie for himself, it would be meaningless if the pie was fake.

Looking at it now, Steve feels that there are too many conditions that he can't be sure of... For example, the history of the ship's mother, for example, what happened to that island, these things are completely unclear to him.

So he decided to put forward his request directly: "Admiral Edward, can you provide me with the location of that island? I want to verify it with my own eyes."

Edward's expression also froze when he was hit directly in the face by a straight ball from Steve.

He thought that the other party had already recognized his words, so he used gentle means to get close to the other party... He really is not a kind person!

Edward also put away his previous kind attitude, and he put on a stern face as before: "No... I got the coordinates of that island with great difficulty. If I provide it to you and you resell the information, then I'd lose everything, it's impossible."

"Uh...you seem to have a point in saying that!" Steve nodded.

... Tsk tsk, this acting of pretending to be crazy.Edward has already determined that Steve is the type who likes to pretend to be stupid, "If your government doesn't believe me, then naturally you don't have to participate, and everything is up to you."

"Oh...that's it!" Steve thought for a while, "I'm not very good at this matter, how about it! Then I'll go back and discuss it with Kashima first, and then I'll give you an answer!"

Hearing Steve's words, Edward suddenly sneered... It's not enough to use the ship's mother as a shield.

"Okay! Since you said so, I will wait for the good news," Edward said, standing up, "King Kong, help me see off the guests!"

Just about to start the tea party, it broke up in such an unhappy way. King Kong standing aside was a little caught off guard, but she still obeyed Edward's order: "Okay, Admiral."

Steve also noticed the change in the other party's mentality, so he didn't say much, just bid farewell to the other party routinely.

On the way to disembark, King Kong suddenly turned his head and asked, "That...Mr. Steve, the Kashima you mentioned, do you mean the Kashima of the second Katori-class ship?"

Steve didn't know why she asked this out of the blue: "Uh...it seems so, how do you know Kashima?"

"Of course I know de-su!" King Kong had a bright smile on his face, "Because it's an IJN ship! I want to meet each other, I want to know what happened after I sank, and I want to know how they are going. ...Although it is full of sad stories, it is the history of what we have fought so far!"

Steve blinked, he didn't know what the so-called history was, but since it was just a meeting, it should be fine, so he promised: "... If Kashima agrees, I will let her meet you , of course, as long as your admiral does not object."

"Oh, the admiral is not that kind of person de-su! It's okay if I go to see Kashima, de-su!"

Steve could only shrug his shoulders.

At least in his opinion, Edward's desire to control is a bit too strong... About today's matter, I have to discuss it with Kashima when I go back.

Chapter 96 King Kong's Senior Strength

After returning to Bugas with the trading ship, Steve and Kashima explained in detail about the meeting with Edward.

After listening to Steve's description, the secretary, Miss Fleet, frowned and thought for a long time.

"It's like this... Mr. Admiral, in fact, the legend about the post-war ship has always existed."

"Ah? Isn't this first-hand news?"

Kashima shook his head: "No... Uh, how should I put it. Because I'm not the kind of fighter girl, I pay a little more attention to this news. Many years ago, Bugas When the first admiral was appointed, there were already legends about post-war ships."

"The so-called post-war ships, in addition to the warships equipped with weapons of the next generation that the admiral said, are actually some extremely powerful warships that were expected to be built in that war but were not actually built. A type of post-war ship. The British Lion class, the American Montana class, and the United States class are all post-war ships."

"The two former admirals studied this kind of news, but they gave up in the end. After all, no one knows whether they exist in the Ship Spirit Hall, and they have never seen it with their own eyes..." Speaking of this, Kashima concluded, "So I still oppose this action. The price offered by the other party seems too loose, which makes people feel that there is a trap."

Steve nodded.

Kashima's concerns are not unreasonable. This matter seems natural on the mountain, but the actual problem lies in it.There is no absolute reason for the other party to ask for help from this small boat group, the town guard.My side seems to be dispensable... Then, facing a dispensable partner, will he care about himself and change his attitude like before?

... a bit suspicious.

Seeing Steve nodding, Kashima thought he agreed not to participate: "That's right! We don't need to go to this muddy water, and the supply of the tutelary mansion has not yet been secured, even if there is such a powerful ship girl, We can't afford it either!"

"No, I'm going,"

"Ah? You still want to go?!" Hearing that Steve was still going, Kashima uttered anxiously, "Admiral, why are you so disobedient?!"

Steve gave a thumbs up confidently: "Even if it's a lie, as long as I get to that island, I should have a solution... Unless, he even lied about the location of the island."

……

Kashima feels very sorry for the admiral who keeps advising him, but he is not the type to instruct others and sit in the back. Whether as an admiral or as a soldier, Kashima feels the need to respect his choice. !

I heard from the admiral that the other party's secretary, Jian Kongo, wanted to see me, and I happened to have to go to the other party to exchange for the repair fluid used to build the repair shop, so Kashima took the task of conveying the news.

After asking the admiral for the shoes of his ship outfit, Kashima wanted to take Weier to go with him, but the other party said that he didn't want to go, and Kashima thought it was strange.

It's just that the admiral still has matters to deal with with the ship regiment. If Weier is unwilling to go, Kashima has to go to the other party's tutelary mansion alone.

In the tutelary mansion placed on the battleship, Kashima informed Edward of his wishes, and offered to exchange resources for some repair fluid.

Admiral Edward was very happy when he heard the news. He didn't even ask to exchange resources, but gave Kashima four barrels of repair fluid with a wave of his hand.Of course, this may also have something to do with Kashima's personal image. Living in a society of people all the year round, it is still very easy to deal with men with his own looks. Of course... that unkind wooden cube in my house Except for the admiral.

After King Kong came out of the other party's admiral's room, Kashima said straightforwardly: "Senior King Kong, I don't know what you want from me?"

The battleship King Kong is considered to be one of the most senior IJN battleships, and it was also the fourth generation of the flagship of the United Fleet.In the face of such an outstanding ship girl, Kashima bowed his head and called him a senior, which is not an exaggeration.

"Ah...well, sorry, I asked you to meet very lightly. In fact, I haven't figured out how to say de-us. It's a bit of a headache..." King Kong had a smile on his face, and he didn't look like a senior at all. .

"Don't worry, Mr. Admiral went to the ship regiment for a meeting, and it may take a while to come back, so please speak slowly." The sea breeze blew, and Ka Dao, standing on the side of the ship, faced King Kong, showing a gentle smile.

Being stared at by the other party, King Kong felt embarrassed. She stroked her temples, turned around and lay on the railing of the ship's side, and turned her gaze to the dividing line between water and sky in the sea: "Kashima-chan...you should have lived until After the war!"

Kashima nodded: "Yes, as a training cruiser, I existed until two years after the war before being dismantled."

"That's right... Although I have no complaints or regrets when I was sunk in the sea, it's not bad to survive the war!" King Kong smiled when she said this, but she quickly restrained her smile. "Then... after the war... The war... What do you think, how do you think about our war... Can you tell me?"

Kashima understood King Kong's meaning.

It's different from myself, a training cruiser that bears the name of a warship and is actually just in charge of finishing.She is the real warrior. As a warrior who has traveled all over the world and has experienced hundreds of battles, she naturally hopes that her achievements will be affirmed by others.

But recalling the previous scene, Kashima could only sigh softly: "Senior, time has passed for too long, so long that even that world has been submerged by sea water. Now I can only tell you, If you gamble, you must have the consciousness of losing. There is no redemption in such a war. We are all weapons to kill, and we should not expect any redemption from the beginning.”

Hearing Kashima's words, King Kong seemed to have expected a wry smile: "Kashima-chan is really amazing... But, since I have the opportunity to reincarnate, I still hope that everyone can be more energetic, so yes, I If you want to bring everyone together, at least you can meet de-us once, and we can catch up on the old days together, just talk, after all, everyone has common memories!"

Kashima sighed: "Senior, I understand what you mean."

The other party's sudden change of subject made King Kong startled: "Uh...you sure? (Are you sure?)"

"Yes." Kashima nodded, "Different from the veterans who are good at fighting, because I always stay away from the battlefield, so I have existed in this world for a little longer, so the number of ship girls I have seen is slightly more... Naturally IJN colleagues have seen many of them back then, and it is only natural that they will understand their wishes.”

"Senior belongs to that kind of neutral faction. They can accept the fact of defeat, but still hope to restore the nostalgic fleet here; there is also a radical faction, who can't let go of what happened back then, even if they belong to the same tutelary fort. There will be conflicts with ship girls from other departments; as for me... sorry, I am that kind of opposition, I hate that war, just like I hate being a ship girl, if I can, I would rather live as a person, Feel life, old age, sickness and death."

This was the first time that Kashima, who always looked gentle, showed a fierce and stern expression. His silver-gray eyes did not have a trace of luster, and he just looked at King Kong coldly.

Seeing Kashima's eyes, King Kong froze for a moment, then she smiled sadly.

Because the look in his eyes is like saying... I know you want to laugh, laugh!Laugh at me!Laugh at me, a ship girl who is afraid of war as a warship!

"Oh, NO, please, don't look at me with that kind of eyes," King Kong shook his head and said, she suddenly stepped forward, opened her arms and hugged Kashima, as if her whole body was standing upright The stabbing girl, "...we...we've all worked hard...that world is gone, everything is over, de-us is over."

The sea breeze blew past, brushing up the other party's hair, poking Kashima's nose itchy and sour.Deep in the warm embrace under the setting sun, Kashima couldn't help rubbing against his chest.

...As expected of a reliable senior...

The girl who didn't notice Kashima's movements slowly stroked her hair: "Be good~ Be good~ Let's get along well together in the future!"

"Hmm..." Kashima pushed King Kong away, "Sorry... I lost my composure."

"It doesn't matter de-us," King Kong patted his chest while laughing, "If you have any troubles, just come to me de-us!"

"No way! Senior, I am responsible for my admiral. It's not okay to always rely on senior." Facing King Kong who is full of strength from senior, Kashima smiled softly, but, always pestering on this topic, I am also quite embarrassed, "However, now, I still have to trouble the seniors to lead the way."

"Well! OK, come with me!"

King Kong led Kashima all the way to the warehouse below the deck, which is where the tutelary mansion stores the repair fluid.
