Chapter 293 Asking for Trouble
USS Hornet, the third ship of the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier.
Historically, the United States once suffered a series of setbacks in the Pacific battlefield against Japan. In order to boost morale, the Doolittle Raid was launched. The newly commissioned USS Hornet aircraft carrier carried 16 B-25 bombers from the Army Air Force to attack the Japanese mainland.
The damage caused to Japan by the bombing was actually minimal, and it was more like a symbolic mission. Even so, the air raid on Tokyo still greatly boosted the morale of the Americans and shook the prestige of the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to transfer a powerful aircraft carrier fleet back from the Indian Ocean to defend the homeland.
This indirectly led to the Battle of Midway, the turning point of the Pacific War.
In the game, the Hornet has a special piece of equipment - the super-powerful bomber B-25, which is used in this operation. It is also this equipment that has led to many tragic experiences for the Hornet in the game.
The attributes of the Bumblebee itself are not particularly outstanding, and without any modifications, its combat power is mediocre. It can never hope to possess a combat power as strong as that of the B-25. Its equipment will definitely be robbed.
Since there is only one conventional way to obtain B-25, that is to get it from Bumblebee. For most players, they salvage Bumblebee not because they are greedy for Bumblebee, but for her equipment B-25. The saying that B-25 is the main body and Bumblebee is just an accessory was once very popular.
It's because the B-25 is too powerful. It's not the only piece of equipment you can get. If you're willing to work hard, you can get as many as you want. This led to various restrictions on aircraft carrier squadrons in later events. It's really a sinful piece of equipment.
Even though September has entered autumn, the weather is still so hot. It's a bit hot outside, and it's not a good idea to stand outside and talk all the time. Yorktown called Su Xia and said if there's anything to say, we can talk at home. After walking through the garden and entering the villa, when Su Xia saw Bumblebee again, she was lying on the sofa playing with her phone.
She was a tall girl with a blonde ponytail. As mentioned earlier, the three sisters of Yorktown are designed to highlight their breasts, legs, and buttocks. Compared to Yorktown, her breasts are not prominent, but her buttocks are really prominent. The nickname of Big Butt Bee is really worthy of its name.
In fact, the Hornet was a newly built aircraft carrier in history, and it was an improvement on the Yorktown-class design. Compared with the first two Yorktown-class ships, the flight deck was extended, the hull and speed were slightly increased, and such improvements also made it more likely to launch the B-25. I don't know if it was because of this that the Hornet, as a ship girl, had a bigger butt than her two sisters.
Su Xia couldn't help but take a few more glances, but as an admiral he had to pay attention to his image, so he quickly retracted his gaze. He raised his hand to greet him, but Yorktown put the big bag on the coffee table and said first, "Bumblebee, get up, look who's here."
"Who's here?" Hearing her sister's voice, Bumblebee got up, and when she turned around and saw Su Xia, her lazy expression changed. She always remembered the person opposite her who stole her equipment.
Su Xia greeted, "Hello, Bumblebee."
"Admiral..." Bumblebee bit his lip, and then nothing more happened.
"I bought what you wanted for you." Yorktown pointed to the bag on the coffee table, which was full of snacks. "Admiral, this time I came here specifically to see you."
"Looking for me?" Bumblebee retracted his gaze and lay down again. "What do you want from me?"
Su Xia looked at Bumblebee. Based on the information provided by Lexington and what she had just seen, she was sure that this girl was also a fool.
It is true that the ship girl is a life like an elf or a heroic spirit, and is always particularly sensitive to malicious intent, but it is useless to the admiral who is destined to watch over each other. So it should be quite easy to deceive this girl. So all you need to do is use sweet words to easily deal with this girl, right?
Su Xia was about to speak, but then he changed his mind and realized that if he just wanted to deal with this girl, he didn't need to do anything. He came here this time not to deal with Bumblebee, but to apologize. Victory also said that Bumblebee didn't need any compensation, just a good apology.
Su Xia still hesitated for a moment, and said: "I came here specially to apologize to Bumblebee."
Bumblebee sat up. She had never thought that someone would come to apologize. She was a little stunned and couldn't react for a while: "Apologize, what are you apologizing for?"
"I'm just apologizing for taking your B-25 equipment away from you before." Su Xia said sincerely, "I'm sorry."
He didn't have such a big idea when playing games, so it can be said that he had no ill intentions. Now that the game has become reality and he has become everyone's admiral, he must accept it all. He should apologize.
Su Xia continued, "I heard that Bumblebee has always been resentful about this matter. For this reason, he even wants to work in the cafeteria, and wants to earn points from work to exchange for the admiral's free vouchers..."
"Did Yixian tell you?" Bumblebee asked. She was indeed impulsive. The main reason was that Wisconsin had been saying that this was a good opportunity to take revenge on the admiral. She ran to the cafeteria to find Yixian. When Yixian mentioned the difficulty of the work, she thought it was difficult to do it, and then left.
"That's not what Yixian said." Su Xia looked at Yorktown who was sitting on the side unpacking snacks. "Your sister told me."
Bumblebee looked toward Yorktown.
Yorktown said, "Admiral, you betrayed me."
Su Xia said: "You didn't say I couldn't tell you, so how can it be considered betrayal..."
York City thought about it and it seemed to be such a logical conclusion, but what was wrong with it?
Su Xia ignored Yorktown and said, "Okay, Bumblebee can beat me up, I won't resist."
It was just a piece of equipment. Besides, the admiral was not targeting her, but for the development of the naval base and to suppress the deep-sea ship girls. There must be a lot of resentment, but it was just a little resentment, not a deep hatred. The admiral apologized sincerely now, what else can we do? Bumblebee said: "No, it's okay."
"It's no big deal." Bumblebee continued, "Just take it if you want, Admiral... It's true. My combat power is not as good as everyone else's. It's a waste for me to take the B-25."
Su Xia looked at Bumblebee and thought, is it really that simple of an apology ?
Come to think of it, it seems to be true. He didn't do anything to sink the ship. The admiral with whom Bumblebee had a 100% favorability stole her equipment for the development of the garrison. Now he is taking the initiative to apologize. Otherwise, would she really beat him up or stubbornly refuse to forgive him?
"Does that mean Bumblebee has forgiven me?" Su Xia asked.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me." Bumblebee said, "It's not a big deal. You apologized so sincerely."
Sometimes, people are just mean. When someone forgives you, you feel uncomfortable and think that forgiveness is too easy. Su Xia said:
"Have you really forgiven me, Bumblebee?"
"Is Bumblebee that forgiving?"
"Indeed, I also stole Bumblebee's equipment for the garrison. Even so, I obviously have a better way to deal with it. As long as I ask Bumblebee well, Bumblebee will definitely be willing to give it to me, but I chose to rob. At the same time, there are so many equipments in the garrison warehouse, and I won't compensate Bumblebee with any of them."
"B-25 must be Bumblebee's treasure, but I took it away from him. Bumblebee must have been sad and upset for a long time, and even had nightmares about it. Without his treasured B-25, he felt lost and could only invest his feelings in the inflatable B-25, the stuffed toy B-25, and some remote-controlled B-25."
"The only B-25 we had was taken away. As an aircraft carrier, we didn't even have a single carrier-based aircraft. We must have been laughed at by everyone."
"That being said, it's not a big deal. Maybe I'm just used to it. I'm used to losing the B-25, and I'm used to being an aircraft carrier without carrier-based aircraft. It's not that I've really forgiven it, but I've let it go. It's no big deal. I'm just used to it."
"It's just that as a ship girl, the one who attacked was the admiral, so there was nothing I could do. If I had attacked the admiral, no one would have forgiven me. If you are not the one involved, you don't know how much pain I have suffered. I'm sure everyone has said a lot to Bumblebee about just a mere B-25. So, I think it's not that Bumblebee doesn't care, but that she forgot to care."
"And what else..."
Bumblebee sat on the sofa, listening to Su Xia's words, nodding thoughtfully. She remembered it all, how much she had gone through because of the loss of B-25, and it really wasn't that easy to forgive the admiral.
As Su Xia was speaking, he noticed that Bumblebee's expression when he looked at him gradually became strange, and his voice stopped.
He seemed to have said something wrong.
