Chapter 340 Appetizer
When the yacht slowly docked at the pier, Shang Chu and her ship girl were already standing at the exit waiting.
Shang Chu saw Su Xia, the white-haired ship girl standing next to him whom he didn't recognize . She was not the one who accompanied him to the Ship Girl Headquarters that day. There was also a girl who looked a little silly, with long hair, tall figure, and big breasts. She must be a capital ship, and she was not the one who accompanied him to the Ship Girl Headquarters that day.
Shang Chu saw a ship girl with big wavy blonde hair and paid special attention to her. Then she turned around and looked at Indiana who was standing next to her. She found that the two people were very similar, but there were still some differences. The two people had different hairstyles and dressed differently. Their noses were not very similar, and their eyes and lips were different. They were different in many places, but they were mainly similar in spirit.
Shang Chu realized that the man must also be an Indiana.
Shang Chu looked around, but he didn't see any of the people who accompanied him to the KanColle headquarters that day. Lexington, Saratoga, Prince of Wales, King George V, King Kong, no one was here. Where did those people go? So many people were not here, so how could there be so many people?
What he meant was, didn't he call all his ship girls to welcome her at the dock together, or was he preparing to give her a show of force?
Seeing Su Xia approaching, Shang Chu temporarily put aside his messy thoughts and took the lead in greeting, saying politely: "Admiral Su, long time no see."
A few pleasantries.
Shang Chu found that her captain had moored the yacht, thrown the anchor into the water, and tied the cable to the cable pile on the shore. All the people she brought with her on this trip came out of the yacht and stood beside her. They were introduced to each other one by one.
Shang Chu had already introduced her shipgirl, and now it was obviously his turn. Su Xia stretched out her hand and placed it in front of L20, introducing her: "This is my secretary ship... How should I put it, L20-class battleship L20."
He thought that some things must be announced in advance, or he should give L20 some face in front of outsiders. "You just became my secretary ship, and you may not understand some things yet..."
Shang Chu knew it was rude to interrupt someone casually, but he couldn't control himself and said, "Wait a minute. Admiral Su, what kind of ship girl did you just say she was? L20 level L20, is there such a ship girl? Why have I never heard of it before?"
When L20 heard Shang Chu's words, "You didn't even know L20 and actually denied the existence of L20," she was very dissatisfied and said, "How can there be no L20-level L20? I am L20..." Before she could finish her words, Su Xia kicked her shoes and she shut up obediently.
"I remember telling you this before. Maybe you didn't pay attention... Yes, it seems that I just mentioned a name." Su Xia said, "Let me explain. Isn't it said that the ship girls come from people's thoughts and wishes? So some warships didn't sink at all, and they were placed there as museums, and there are still ship girls. Some warships didn't appear at all, and they still have hulls, drawings, and ship girls."
Su Xia paused and said, "L20 is a blueprint ship, so it doesn't even have a name, only a code name. In history, since the Battle of Jutland..."
Su Xia explained the whole story of the L20 blueprint ship and asked, "Do you understand now?"
"So it's a blueprint ship. A blueprint ship." Shang Chu nodded, "No wonder I didn't know that much about it."
I studied it when I was in the naval academy, but who would care about a blueprint ship that didn't appear at all. I know that a blueprint ship will appear as a ship girl, and the famous Lion is it. I didn't expect there is another blueprint ship, why didn't I know about it before.
Did it appear recently?
No matter what, let's talk about those things later. We must not show our weakness now. Shang Chu nodded, looking calm and said, "I understand."
"Then," Su Xia looked at Shengli standing beside him. She wore a uniform today. The uniform was a little small, which made her chest look tight. Her long white hair was neatly tied up, making her look capable. "This is my assistant, Shengli."
Su Xia smiled and said, "The Victory is very famous in history , you must know that."
"Uh... that, I don't quite understand, Victory?" Shang Chu was really confused. What Victory? She had never heard of it. Even those unknown shipgirls in history, she even knew all 175 Fletcher-class destroyers, and had a clear understanding of the history of those destroyers, but she didn't know there was such a Victory.
"Mine, mine." Su Xia suddenly realized that the Victory was definitely a well-known name, but most people would not think of that Victory.
Su Xia smiled and said, "The Victory is indeed very famous... Let me remind you who the battleship Nelson was named after and who his flagship was."
Shang Chu is definitely a top student, as he was able to graduate from the Naval Academy, become an admiral smoothly, and own a large garrison responsible for the safety of a sea area. Otherwise, even if he had a ship girl, he would be an admiral and could only work at the ship girl headquarters or branches, and could not be independent.
Shang Chu reacted immediately and said, "Victory, is she that Victory?"
"Yes. She is the Victory." Su Xia said, "Most of the shipgirls are World War I or World War II ships, but there is one exception, and that is her. She is a sailing battleship. As a sailing battleship, her strength is not enough, so she basically does not attack. But as a senior, her work ability is very good. She is the treasure of our naval base, the instructor of everyone, and my assistant."
Victory was not like L20, she stretched out her hand towards Shang Chu and said, "Hello, I'm the admiral's assistant, nice to meet you."
"Hello." Shang Chu extended his hand.
In front of outsiders, Su Xia absolutely gave everyone face and said, "I remember saying that I used to do things in a ridiculous way. As an admiral, I didn't care about anything at all. I relied entirely on the Victory to support this garrison and help me with my work. Without the Victory, I really don't know what to do."
Shang Chu listened to someone constantly praising his ship girl, she bit her lip and nodded continuously.
If it were possible, who wouldn't want to be a lazy admiral?
Victory also gave Su Xia face in front of outsiders and said, "Admiral Shang, don't listen to him. I'm not that powerful. When I joined the garrison, it was already extremely powerful. That's all thanks to the admiral."
"No, no, no, I just did a small job." Su Xia said, "It's mainly the Victory and everyone else."
Shang Chu calmed down a bit and said jokingly, "Okay, you two should stop bragging about your business."
Su Xia laughed, and then he realized that he and Victory were constantly praising each other.
Su Xia noticed that Shang Chu was looking at the other people who had come to join in the fun at the dock. He was a little confused about how to introduce them, after all, there were too many people.
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "L20 and Victory are my secretary ship and assistant respectively. As for these people... no other admiral has ever visited our garrison, and today one finally came. Everyone is very interested and wants to come and see us."
"We can't chase them away, so we can only let them stay here. If you want to get to know them, I can introduce them to you." Su Xia looked at the sun, "But wait a moment, let me take you to a resting place, put down your luggage first, and then take a good look at our garrison."
It was a very reasonable reason, Shang Chu replied: "Okay."
Shang Chu was a little concerned. So many people were just there to join in the fun. Aren’t they all here to welcome them, or to show them off?
Shang Chu thought she was a little silly. There was something wrong with this garrison. Seeing Su Xia leading the way and preparing to take them to where they would stay, he temporarily put aside his doubts.
Su Xia brought everyone to the suite that he and Shengwang had worked so hard to clean up last night.
Su Xia was sure that there was no problem with this suite, but she was being modest and said, "I received the news from Admiral Shang yesterday, and I hurriedly prepared the house. There may be many inadequate preparations, so please forgive me."
You should be modest, but you should also speak out what you have done. Su Xia said, "But don't worry, these sheets and towels are all new. The kettle and tea sets have all been washed... It wasn't me who did it. I'm a careless man and I'm not good at those things. It was my head maid Mingming who did it. She's hardworking and capable, you can rest assured."
Shang Chu was looking around the room. When he heard his words, he asked, "Reputation, do you still have one reputation?"
"Yes." Su Xia said, "My head maid."
Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, there are no two identical ship girls in the world.
Just as leaves are always similar, the same is true for ship girls. Reputation is always a capable maid, and for this reason she is nicknamed the head maid. Shang Chu is very clear about this , which does not stop her from joking: "Reputation head maid... Since you are the head maid, does that mean you have many little maids?"
"It's okay." Su Xia didn't think much about it. "It's just a few little maids. The sister of reputation, the maid sister fights back. The flower maid Shropshire... How to say it, if you have to say it, many people have been maids, Germany is one of them, Tianlong and Longtian have also worn maid outfits, and now they want to be maids..."
Su Xia noticed that Shang Chu was absent-minded and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No, nothing." Shang Chu nodded. She just cared a little. I was just joking. Your reputation as the head maid is not a nickname. You are really the head maid, a true head maid. Do you have a whole team of maids here?
Su Xia didn't care about that and continued to introduce the suite, where tea leaves, sugar cubes and the like were placed, fruits and ice cream in the refrigerator, and snacks in the cabinet. If there was anything special needed, just contact him.
After Shang Chu put down his luggage and took a short rest, Su Xia asked if he wanted to go for a walk.
Shang Chu’s answer:
"Uh... can I not go?"
