Chapter 378 Total War
The conqueror returned with the food.
She actually planned to stay out there for a while longer, or even run away, leave the ship's headquarters, and not go to any garrison, and wander around the world from then on. Suddenly, she thought that if she wasn't watching, who knows what the Royal Ark would say, and who knows what the admiral would say. Now there is still a way to get away with it, but by then there may be no chance.
The conqueror made up his mind to muddy the water, put the plate on the table, and asked, "Royal Ark, do you want grilled chicken wings?"
"I don't want it." Royal Ark refused.
"I took a bit too much...please help me share the burden."
The Conqueror said this, and Royal Ark, as a good friend, naturally did not refuse. "Okay."
The Conqueror took a fork and gave one of the grilled chicken wings on the plate to Royal Ark. At this time, he found that Royal Ark was holding chopsticks and said, "Royal Ark, when did you learn to use chopsticks?"
"I learned it a long time ago. Haven't you learned it yet?" Royal Ark raised her chopsticks. The girl liked Chinese culture and knew many idioms and proverbs, but it was obvious that she had not learned what humility meant. "I can pick up beans with chopsticks."
"That's amazing." The Conqueror praised, almost applauding.
"I practiced it specifically." Royal Ark talked about her experience of learning how to use chopsticks.
The Conqueror didn't care how Royal Ark learned to use chopsticks. She looked out the window. The sky outside had turned completely dark. The bright moon hanging high in the sky looked like a round disk. She said, "Today's moon is so round... I remember that it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days... Royal Ark, have you ever eaten moon cakes?"
"No."
The Conqueror diligently changed the subject, and it was very effective. The topics of conversation ranged from mooncakes to the moon, and from the moon to Chang'e, and never touched upon the admiral, the ship girls, or the naval base.
Dinner is over.
Everyone lives in different places.
Conqueror and Ark Royal return to the dormitory.
Royal Ark was no fool, he had already noticed it and said, "Conqueror, you are so strange tonight."
The Conqueror's heart beat faster, but thanks to his usual habit of keeping a stern face, there was no sign of abnormality on his face at this moment. He asked with his usual expressionless face, "What's strange?"
Royal Ark tilted her head and thought about it. Usually when she had dinner with the Conqueror, she had to find topics to talk about. The Conqueror didn't seem to like talking much, but today he was particularly active. She said, "You talk a lot tonight."
"Is there?" The Conqueror remained noncommittal, looking at the surface of the pond not far away, which looked like a mirror under the light from the residential building.
"Yes." Royal Ark said affirmatively, "Because Admiral Su is here too?"
The Conqueror opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but then he thought it might be a misunderstanding on the Ark Royal's part.
Walking over the small slope and passing the pavilion, Royal Ark suddenly asked, "When are you leaving, Conqueror?"
"I don't know. Maybe tomorrow," said the Conqueror. "Why are you asking that?"
Royal Ark said, "You just went to get the food. You're not here. I told your Admiral Su that I also want to go to your garrison to take a look."
The Conqueror felt his heart skip a beat and asked, "Why do you want to visit our garrison?"
"You've been telling me to go take a look, haven't you?" Royal Ark said again, "Admiral Su said he wants to challenge the Deep Sea Eagle. I want to see how he challenges. How he defeats the powerful Deep Sea Eagle with a weak garrison..."
Royal Ark told the Conqueror what she and Su Xia had said when he went to get the food.
The shouts came from far away, then from near to far away. There were many destroyers living in the Kanmusu headquarters, playing hide-and-seek downstairs every night, chasing each other and running around. The Conqueror looked at the little loli jumping over the bush wall, and she said without changing her expression, "When did I say that our garrison was weak?"
"I'm asking you, how is your tutelary fort? Didn't you say that you don't care whether the tutelary fort is strong or not?"
"I just said that I don't care how strong the garrison is. I didn't say that our garrison is not good enough." The Conqueror said that although he could continue to conceal it, it would be exposed sooner or later. It would be better to take precautions in advance so that he would have something to say when the time comes.
"Uh..." Royal Ark responded, wondering if she had misunderstood. "Then is Admiral Su's tutelary fort very strong?"
The conqueror was silent for a long time. If she were given another chance, she would never pretend again. But now there was no way to turn back, otherwise her image would be completely ruined. She said, "I don't know... I don't care about this... It doesn't matter if she is strong or not."
But let’s talk about this side.
Su Xia led his ship girl to the hotel. Passing by the cafe and bar, he saw many admirals sitting inside. He wanted to invite everyone to sit in, but in the end he didn't. He said, "Did you notice that Conqueror is acting strange today?"
Missouri snickered.
Number Thirteen smiled happily.
She was a cute little maid, she didn't have so many thoughts.
Yubari said in a bad tone, "You didn't realize it just now, did you?"
"Of course I found out a long time ago." Su Xia wanted to ask, do you know the reason? But after thinking about it, he decided to give the Conqueror some face. The Conqueror is a man who cares about face, not a shameless guy like L20, and he is not sure that the truth is what he thinks.
It was already after eight o'clock when we returned to the hotel.
Su Xia has been learning these days how to become an excellent admiral.
To be an excellent admiral, you need to know a lot of things. According to statistics, not many people can successfully graduate from the admiral school, and generally need to study for two or three years.
Since the garrison's combat power is quite strong. The garrison has hundreds of ship girls, and it is unknown how many deep-sea flagships have been defeated. Recently, there have been no deep-sea ship girls attacking. Su Xia's current direction of study is not combat, but management.
I've only just begun to understand the operation of the tutelary fort .
There are hundreds of ship girls in the naval base, and more than half of them have never had a proper chat.
Even so, as an admiral, Su Xia knew that there were many differences between reality and games.
In that game, there are too many restrictions due to the gameplay, such as a fleet can only have a maximum of six people.
Reality is not so particular. As long as you are willing to spend resources, the key is to be able to mobilize so many people. Most of the garrisons have few ship girls, so you can send as many people as you want at a time. Destroyers can fire torpedoes even during the day, but whether they can hit the target is a big problem.
However, there are also many corresponding problems. It seems that the hit rate of artillery fire is quite low. It is good to be able to hit a few out of a hundred shells. Only when you get close, the hit rate can be higher. But this does not mean that training is useless, it all depends on luck. If you don’t have training, the speed of artillery fire cannot be increased, and the hit rate may be imperceptible.
Thinking about the battle all the way, as soon as she got back to the hotel, Su Xia sat on the sofa and shouted, "Missouri."
"Yeah." Missouri put down the phone.
Su Xia thought about how to start the conversation and said, "You know about the Deep Sea Eagle, right?"
"Huh?" Missouri asked.
"What do you think of our garrison attacking as a whole?" Su Xia asked. Since there are no restrictions on gameplay, can't we play however we want? In the past, my favorite thing to do when playing games was not to show off my skills to defeat the strong with the weak, but to farm until I had a strong army, and then I would just fight automatically all the way.
Missouri said: "Why should we attack with all our forces? As long as one fleet attacks and defeats the deep-sea flagship, we will win."
In this world, humans only have control over the continents and coastal areas, as well as a few shipping routes. Deep-sea shipgirls occupy most places. These deep-sea shipgirls generally do not attack human cities from afar, but only attack ships they see. But when the deep-sea flagship appears, the situation is different.
Correspondingly, as long as the deep-sea flagship is defeated, the remaining deep-sea ship girls will retreat without a leader. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate all the deep-sea ship girls. As long as the deep-sea ship girls do not disturb human activities, it can be regarded as a victory.
Missouri said, "The admiral used to plan the decapitation plan. Six people in a fleet went through five levels and killed six generals to attack the deep-sea flagship."
Su Xia thought, it's not that I want to execute the decapitation plan, it's the game limit, only one fleet can be sent out at a time, six people or more. I worked hard to train so many people, most of them can only sit on the bench, do you think I don't want to make full use of them?
"I'm worried about you guys." Su Xia said, "The decapitation plan is convenient and quick, but it's also easy to encounter danger. Even if nothing went wrong before, it doesn't mean you'll always be so lucky in the future... I'm not a pessimist, but I'm taking precautions."
"But compared to the decapitation plan..." Missouri said, "The deep-sea flagship is often very confident. If there are only six people in a fleet, she doesn't mind you breaking through the vanguard and coming to her. She even looks forward to your arrival and a fleet decisive battle. We usually only need to defeat two or three waves of enemies to reach the deep-sea flagship."
"Once we choose a total war, the Deep Sea Flagship will definitely mobilize all the Deep Sea Fleet Girls. The Deep Sea Flagship is as smart as us, and much more ruthless than us." Missouri said, "At that time, we will have to face an overwhelming enemy."
Su Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Even if a full-scale war requires us to face overwhelming enemies...we don't have to be limited to one fleet with six people. We can mobilize all our combat power."
Su Xia said, "If it was before... like the first time we faced the deep-sea flagships, the Deep-sea Bismarck and the Deep-sea Tirpitz, we only had a few capable people in the garrison. Even if we added up the destroyers and light cruisers, there were only a dozen capable people at most, so we could only use the decapitation plan."
"How many are there now?" Su Xia did some mental calculations. "There are about eighty full-level battleships and large ships alone. Including the medium-sized and small ships, there are more than one hundred and fifty full-level ships. There are at least fifty people on ships that are not at full level but can be used."
Missouri was also a little surprised and said, "Do we have so many people at the maximum level in the garrison?"
"Yes." Su Xia said, "We can calculate it."
"No need to calculate. If the admiral says there is, there must be." Missouri said, "I am not a secretary ship, and I don't usually take care of things. I am not the head of the eight great families, so it is normal that ... I just express my feelings."
"Except for the two hundred people that can be dispatched..." Su Xia paused, "Battleships and battlecruisers are basically guaranteed to have MK6 equipped with Type 91 armor-piercing shells, aircraft carriers and armored carriers basically have hero aircraft, full-level heavy cruisers are all gold-equipped, and output-type destroyers are all gold torpedoes. The others are anti-submarine sets, and Yuyu is not worth mentioning."
Missouri muttered to herself, "Is our tutelary fort that strong? I really don't know."
"It's okay." Su Xia said, "You may not understand it very well, but as the admiral, I arranged all the exercises and attacks, so I know it." As a player, he must be familiar with his own cabin.
"Sometimes." Missouri said, "I really don't understand... Admiral, where did you get so many people and equipment?"
"Don't worry about the details." Su Xia laughed. "We can dispatch 200 people from the garrison, but how many deep-sea ship girls can we have?"
Missouri thought for a moment and said, "Once a deep-sea flagship appears, it will definitely involve several sea areas. There will be nearly 20 deep-sea fleets and 100 deep-sea ship girls in one sea area. In other words, if we want to fight a full-scale war, we will have to face 500 deep-sea ship girls."
"So many?" Su Xia was originally full of confidence, but when he heard Missouri's words, he suddenly became less confident.
"Yes." Missouri nodded firmly, "I'm not exaggerating."
Su Xia hesitated for a moment, thinking that from the perspective of the game, there are several maps for an activity, and each map has more than a dozen points. One point is a deep-sea fleet. Adding them all together, it should be about that number.
Su Xia stood up from the sofa, walked in the hall, and said, "Even if there are more deep-sea ship girls, they are definitely not as strong as us."
"It's definitely not as high as ours. One of our teams can often beat four of their teams. If it weren't for the fuel and ammunition restrictions, it could be even higher." Missouri said, "The point is that there are too many unnecessary wars, which may consume a lot of resources. There are more battles, and inevitably more casualties. The gains do not outweigh the losses."
Su Xia nodded and said, "Let me see if we can discuss with the KanColle headquarters to see if we can reimburse our resources."
Missouri said: "The Shipgirls Headquarters will definitely not agree to this request. It is expensive to maintain so many garrisons every month, and they often spend more than they earn... I don't know if they are just crying poor. Anyway, don't let them pay, and you can carry out the decapitation plan. They will definitely not agree to a total war."
Su Xia thought about it for a long time. In ancient times, there were war games, and now there are more ways to play.
"Let's try a simulated battle. Then we can discuss it later."
