Chapter 316 Preparation for Exercise
L20 arrived at the office at around 10 o'clock as usual. As soon as she arrived, she found that Shengli, who usually indulged her, looked at her with a bad expression. After thinking about it, she realized that she had never offended her before. Could it be that she had been discovered for secretly calling her "Grandma Shengli" for fun? Who knew it was an unprovoked disaster?
The wind direction seemed to be wrong today. Victory looked at her with a stern expression, while the admiral who usually liked to bully her looked at her with a smile. It was strange. L20 greeted her honestly: "Admiral, Sister Victory, good morning."
L20 wanted to explain why she was late, but Su Xia had already spoken, saying kindly, "Good morning, L20."
L20 is now a little scared. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
Su Xia stuttered regardless of whether L20 was speaking or not, and he asked, "L20, you are a ship girl, right?"
"Yes." L20 nodded. Is there any need to ask? It's a sure thing.
"Shipgirls, the heroic spirits and elves that once sank the battleships, whether adults or children, always yearn for the sea and fighting. No matter who the opponent is, ordinary deep-sea shipgirls or deep-sea flagships will move forward." Su Xia paused and asked, "Is that right?"
L20 hesitated and said, "Yes, right."
Su Xia asked again: "How long has L20 been a secretary ship?"
"About a month or two."
"How does it feel?"
"What?"
"Just asking how is your work going and whether you feel anything is not going well."
"Uh..." L20 is a person who knows herself. It's not a question of whether her work is going well or not. She doesn't have any work at all. She has been slacking off all day. In the past few days, she has been spending money lavishly because of her salary. She has been a little unbridled and has no intention of leaving. She used to stay in the office for so long, but now she is coming in late and leaving early.
Su Xia smiled and said, "Compared to being a secretary ship and doing clerical work, L20 as a ship girl should still prefer the sea and fighting. Blood and fire, roaring cannons, huge waves, shells blasting huge water columns, dancing in torpedoes... The comfortable rear area is not as exciting as the front line."
L20 Qiqi Ai Ai said: "I, I think it's better to stay in the comfortable rear area."
"Okay, stop kidding. You like the front line." Su Xia looked at L20 and nodded. "The Victory also praised L20 for his talent. As long as he grows up, he will definitely become the mainstay of our garrison. He can also easily become a deep-sea flagship. The future leader of the German system."
“No, no, no, I can’t be the boss.” L20 said quickly.
Victory crossed his arms and interrupted, "L20, be more confident. You are very talented."
L20 looked at Su Xia, then turned to look at Victory, only to see two people looking at her. She took a step back involuntarily and said, "Did L20 make a mistake again?"
Su Xia replied: "L20 did not make any mistakes."
"L20 must have made a mistake." L20 said firmly, "Admiral, please tell me. As long as you tell me, L20 will definitely correct it."
L20 raised a hand and said, "L20 promises that I will not be lazy anymore, and I will not be late or leave early anymore. I promise to arrive at the office on time and leave on time. No, L20 will come to the office early, clean up, and make tea for the Admiral and Sister Shengli. I will also work overtime in the evening until ten o'clock."
"L20 may not be good enough now, but from today on I must study hard and make sure I complete the work."
"So," L20 cried, "Admiral, please don't look down on L20. Don't send L20 to the front line. L20 is a battleship, but it's not good enough now. It can't defeat those vicious deep-sea ship girls. L20 has just woken up for a month or two and hasn't officially attacked yet. If it suddenly goes to the front line, it will be in a mess and die."
Su Xia looked at L20, who was a little confused, and said, "What are you talking about? I just want you to participate in the exercise."
L20 was also confused. She paused for a moment and said, "Drill?"
"Yes, exercise." Su Xia answered affirmatively.
L20 was still worried and asked, "Is it just an exercise?"
"What else do you think it is..." Su Xia was now certain that L20 had misunderstood something.
"You want to throw me to the front line to die because you can't stand my being late and leaving early every day, and my disobedience, and even asking who Su Xia is in the group?"
Su Xia was too tired to complain: "It's just being late and leaving early, what's the big deal. Most people in this garrison do nothing all day long. They're not late or leaving early, they don't even go to work. Did I get angry about this and throw you to the front line? Also, I forgot about you not knowing me and asking who I was. How come you still remember it?"
"No." Su Xia said, "Do you think I have such a bad image in your mind? I am so petty and narrow-minded."
L20 grumbled, "If this is just a drill, why are you talking like that bad boss in a TV show wants to send the protagonist to his death?"
"I don't think there is any resemblance." Su Xia said, "Anyway, it's just to let you participate in the exercise in case of emergency."
L20 was still worried and asked, "Are we going to the front line after the exercise?"
Su Xia stared at L20 and said, "There are currently no deep-sea ship girls, at least within our jurisdiction. If any deep-sea ship girls appear, you will definitely be needed when you are needed. This is your responsibility as a ship girl. Why, are you afraid and dare not go to the front line?"
"No." L20 said. As a ship girl, how could she be afraid of fighting? "As long as they don't deliberately send me to the front line to die?"
"How could I do that? I deliberately sent you to the front to die." Su Xia said, "You have been following me for quite some time, don't you know who I am? Even in the past, at that time, I valued the lives of the ship girls more than anything else."
"No matter if victory is imminent or not, as long as there is a possibility of danger, I have only one order, which is to retreat."
Su Xia remembered that he had never made a major attack in the game. Even if the enemy had a slim chance of sinking his ship, he had dozens or hundreds of damage management orders and only one retreat order.
Victory nodded. Although the admiral had done many bad things and had never fulfilled his responsibilities as an admiral, he had never crossed the admiral's bottom line. This was also the reason why everyone was determined to stay by his side. There was only an increase in favorability, not a decrease in favorability.
"Well, it seems that I misunderstood the admiral." L20 was a little ashamed.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Su Xia stared at L20, "Idiot, you are my important ship girl."
L20 looked at Su Xia. To show his unwavering determination, Su Xia smiled and nodded. She looked into his bright eyes. She had the impression that he bullied her a lot, but he also took good care of her, taking her to Chinese restaurants and izakayas, eating and drinking, and saving her from the clutches of Bei Zhai Senior...
You are my important ship girl?
Thinking of this, L20 lowered his head.
Su Xia noticed that L20 lowered her head, as if she had misunderstood something again. He coughed and said, " Anyway, you have nothing to do in the office. Victory said you are very talented. It's not a good idea to be idle every day. Why don't you participate in the exercise? Don't you also want to become stronger and become everyone's elder sister or senior?"
L20 asked, "Am I alone?"
"Of course there are more." Su Xia said, "I just want to inform you first."
"When does it begin."
"Why not now?"
Su Xia was a fake admiral who had only played the game and watched some videos. Even after so many days in the garrison, he had never seen the ship girls show the power of their battleships. He wanted to learn more about it through L20.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Su Xia stood under the shade of a big tree by the dock.
He saw L20 standing alone on the sea. It was too far away to see anything but a small black dot. The huge phantom of the L20 battleship was overshadowed by it. The phantom was more than 200 meters long and was shocking. However, it was just a phantom, and seagulls could be seen flying through it.
He knew it a long time ago.
A ship girl has to go all out to maintain her ship. She has no time to play with her phone, make phone calls, or even have a conversation. She can only use the power of the ship itself, that is, radio, lights and signal flags to communicate with each other, and communicate with difficulty.
As a result, there happened to be many unexpected situations during the battle, which resulted in everyone often having to take care of their own business, unable to concentrate their fire and could only fight randomly.
It is true that a ship girl can sail on the sea for a long time, ten days or half a month is difficult to do. Keep going all out throughout the journey, physical exhaustion is a big problem. The ship girl can only be responsible for a small area of the sea with the garrison as the center. The sea is too vast, and dozens or hundreds of garrisons are needed, the more the better.
Soon after, Su Xia saw L20 firing into the distance. As L20 controlled the guns on the ship to fire, the phantom of the huge battleship followed suit and fired into the distance, with one shot reaching the end of his sight. The distance of this shot was more than 20 kilometers away.
Su Xia wanted to watch the battleship showdown, but didn't know who to call, so he took out his phone and sent a message to the group.
Admiral: "Dock, let's have a battleship and L20 exercise."
West Virginia: "Why did the Admiral think of arranging an exercise?"
Indiana: "I can. But is there a reward?"
Blücher: "How about a heavy cruiser?"
Köln: "Blücher, don't go and embarrass yourself. Even if it's an L20, it's still a battleship."
Maryland: “Me, me, me!”
Blücher: "I don't think a heavy cruiser can defeat a battleship."
Bismarck: "Leave it to me."
Since too many people signed up, Su Xia gave the decision to L20 and asked her to choose an opponent.
The British will definitely take the opportunity to bully others, so they are excluded first. The American people should not bully others, but it is said that Maryland is a fighting maniac with a very crazy fighting style. As expected, Bismarck is the best, strong enough, and a caring senior. I have always been taken care of by her.
L20's answer: "Big Sister Bismarck, I want Big Sister Bismarck to be my exercise opponent."
Today's Bismarck is particularly cruel, but that's another story.
