Chapter 356: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
There were only a few of them on this trip.
There are probably two main reasons - the ship girl is quite resistant to riding a helicopter; and it is said that Indomitable has already reserved the admiral.
They set out at around nine or ten o'clock and arrived at the KanColle headquarters in the morning.
Indomitable is an armored aircraft carrier, a Chinook maintenance , and is used to flying. She looks energetic. Lion, as a battleship, is not used to flying. It can be seen that she wants to maintain her dignity, but it is difficult to hide it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is not in good condition and has no spirit.
There is no need to rush to salvage the boat.
Su Xia arranged for the lion to have a good rest, and Bu Niang accompanied the lion to find Ella.
His plan was to explore the route alone and collect intelligence.
After finding Ella, the two walked side by side under the shade of the trees at the KanColle headquarters.
Su Xia asked, "Does Ella know where the conqueror came from?"
"I don't know. I don't care about the registration part. I'm not very familiar with her. I just said a few words to her. Anyway, there is no admiral." Ella said, "Since she is a wandering ship girl, it's nothing more than she suddenly woke up from the sea."
Su Xia nodded and asked the next question, "How long have you been at the KanColle headquarters?"
"Just a few days. Not even a week." Ella said, "I really admire your admiral's keen sense of smell. I just learned that a conqueror has come to the KanColle headquarters, and your admiral seems to have known everything. There have been several batches of admirals who have come here to salvage the ship."
Suddenly, a whistle sounded from the dock not far away. Su Xia looked over subconsciously, but there was nothing worth seeing. She said, "Have several groups of people arrived?"
"There are at least a dozen of them," Ella said. "We don't know how many yachts will dock today, or how many helicopters will land... There are still not many people who come here by helicopter. Helicopters are easy to buy, but pilots are hard to find. Aside from you, Indomitable, the other garrisons all have admirals as pilots."
Su Xia was surprised: "The admiral can also be a pilot."
"No way." Ella glanced at Su Xia, "Do you think every tutelary fort is like yours? No matter what you do, there are ship girls, and the admiral just needs to be a mascot. In a tutelary fort without so many ship girls, the admiral must take on the rest of the responsibilities, such as finance, cooking, housekeeping, and piloting... which means he can't go out on an expedition."
Su Xia said: "I am ashamed that I don't know anything."
Ella said, "It's okay. Good luck is also a skill."
Su Xia could only laugh.
"There are so many admirals, so many excellent admirals, isn't there a single one that the Conqueror would like?"
"I haven't heard that the Conqueror cares more about which admiral."
"Fortunately, I don't have too many thoughts about the Conqueror, so it doesn't matter." Su Xia said, "It would be the best if it succeeds, but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't."
"Tsk!" Ella hissed. "You heard about the Conqueror yesterday and came here today, bringing a lion with you... I don't have too many thoughts. It doesn't matter. You're lucky you can say that. You're just afraid of failure, so you said you don't care in advance so that you can save face when the time comes."
Su Xia blushed.
A noble man does not bear grudges against a mean man.
Only women and villains are difficult to raise.
A good man doesn't fight with a woman.
Su Xia decided to let Ella go and said, "When encountering something, complete it as soon as possible and never procrastinate. If you want to do it, do it to the best of your ability. These are my life principles. My quick actions don't mean anything, don't get me wrong... You don't believe me even if I say it, so I won't refute it. I'm just looking forward to it."
"Why don't you explain it?" Ella said, "Is it a shame to not know how to explain it?"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Su Xia was just being naughty, "Does Ella know what the Conqueror likes?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"For example, what kind of personality does the conqueror like?" Su Xia said, "Cheerful or indifferent."
"I don't know." Ella said, "Even if I do know, what does it matter? If the Conqueror likes a cold person, will you pretend to be a cold person? The Conqueror is a wandering ship girl, not one of those nymphomaniacs in your garrison who is willing to believe you even though they know you are a lie. Don't play tricks, or you will end up making things worse."
"Okay..." Su Xia said, "Then I want to ask the Conqueror what he likes, what movies he likes, what he likes to eat, what drinks he likes, so that we can find a topic to talk about later. This should be okay, right?"
"You can," Ella said, "but I don't know."
Su Xia stared at Ella for a long time, and said in frustration: "How come you don't know anything?"
"The Conqueror has only been at the KanColle headquarters for a few days, not a few months or years. How can you expect me to know in such a short time?"
Su Xia was dejected. He was still hoping to get some information from Ella.
Isn't this nothing?
It is not October yet and the weather is a bit hot. After walking for a while, they decided to go to a cafe to enjoy the air conditioning and chat slowly.
Just after walking into the cafe and finding a place to sit down, Ella keenly noticed the woman sitting in the corner of the cafe. She kicked Su Xia's foot and said, "That's the Conqueror."
Su Xia followed Ella's gaze and saw a woman with a low ponytail and a bulging white shirt. She said, "I saw it... She seemed to have seen us too."
Ella bit her lip and said, "Don't you want to get a Conqueror...I'll go over and say hello first ?"
Su Xia said: "The lion is still resting..."
"This is a rare opportunity. We can drink tea or coffee together. Do you want to miss it?"
It's true that plans can't keep up with changes.
Su Xia thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Go and say hello."
Ella is gone.
Su Xia sat there restlessly, picking up her phone and then putting it down again, not knowing what to do.
"Hello."
There was a sudden voice and a sudden person. The person sitting opposite him was a man in admiral's uniform.
Su Xia said: "Hello."
"Are you here to get the Conqueror too?" the admiral asked, then he reacted and introduced himself, "Mu Yi."
"Su Xia." Su Xia did not hide it, "Yes... and you also came here to get the Conqueror."
Su Xia wondered what the admiral's purpose was.
Are you looking for trouble as a love rival or competitor?
Similar plots often appear in TV shows and novels. Suddenly, someone comes up and says something like, "You are not worthy of pursuing someone. You are not my opponent at all. If you want to snatch a woman from me, you are a hundred years too early."
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you any trouble." Mu Yi noticed that Su Xia was wary of him, and quickly explained, "Although I also came here to salvage the boat, I have no ill intentions... Admiral, salvage the boat, it all depends on your ability."
Su Xia asked: "What is your purpose in coming here?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Yi was a little embarrassed. "No chance. I just couldn't find a chance to chat up the Conqueror. I saw you and Ella came together. Ella went to find the Conqueror again and created an opportunity for you... Let me rub it, I want to rub it."
"Wait, wait." Mu Yi said, "I know it's shameless . Don't rush to refuse. As a reward, I know information that you definitely don't know... I'll tell you my information first, and if you are not satisfied, or if you know that information, I will turn around and leave. Without hesitation."
Su Xia smiled bitterly and said, "I am mainly concerned about... two people... To give an analogy, have you ever seen two people dating a girl together?"
"It's not a blind date, it's making friends. I just want to get to know each other. It's okay to think that way." Mu Yi added, "We are friends, we met friends by chance, and then sat together."
Without waiting for Su Xia to refuse, Mu Yi said, "No problem... I'll tell you the information first, and you can chase them away later."
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "If it was really important information, I would definitely hide it. Salvaging a ship is a war. Since you are so sure and even said that you will leave immediately if I am not satisfied, then your information must be somewhat important."
Su Xia leaned back in her chair and said, "But you still do that, which means you are very confident, or you have no confidence in me... It just happens that when you are with me, flowers need green leaves to set off."
Mu Yi felt a little embarrassed. He did have that thought in mind. After all, that was an admiral he had never heard of. He thought the garrison was not very strong. He said, "Sorry to bother you."
"Go ahead." Su Xia said, "If your information is really important, I agree."
Su Xia continued, "After all, even if I reject you now, you will definitely find an opportunity. We still have to see the truth with our own hands."
Mu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Xia.
"You are very confident."
"young people."
