Chapter 390: Great Battle
The pier of the tutelary fort was naturally equipped with street lights. When the street lights were fully turned on, it was bright everywhere.
Su Xia looked around. Lexington and Saratoga were standing next to the iron bench, Zeppelin was standing under the tree, and Enterprise was lowering his head to trim his long hair...
Not knowing why everyone had been staying here, Su Xia reminded them, "Why are you standing here all the time? The food and the big bath have been prepared for you. Take a look and take a bath, change clothes, eat something, and then prepare to repair and rest."
Empire couldn't wait to go back. First, he took a simple shower, changed into dry clothes, ate something, and then entered the canal. While entering the canal, he played the game console or read a book. But he found that everyone was motionless, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. He didn't know whether he should leave.
Akagi combed her long black hair, then secretly glanced at Lexington, thinking that she had wanted to slowly conquer the admiral before. The idea was that who could win the admiral's heart was the most important thing, and a temporary victory was useless. Little did she know that conquering the admiral's body first could speed up the conquest of the admiral's heart. It was really a one-step difference.
Now that we are behind, it is not easy to catch up, but there is still a chance. No matter what, the first person to take down the admiral is Missouri, and the others are all losers, without distinction of high or low, that is enough.
It seems a bit self-deceiving. If she loses, she loses, but she won't lose forever.
The admiral's words meant that they should leave, and he was not going to go with them. Thinking about why, Akagi asked, "Admiral, aren't you going back with us?"
Su Xia replied: "There are still some people who haven't come back yet."
Everyone has returned. To be more precise, the high-speed ships, which have a faster speed, have all returned. The fleet composed of low-speed light aircraft carriers, in order to take care of the slow-speed ships, had to slow down even at high speed, and no one has returned yet.
Akagi said, "The speed of the Chaser and Borg is only 16 knots. It will take at least one or two hours for them to return. Do you plan to wait for them here?"
"The speed of Feiying and Falcon is 25 knots, which is just a little slower than yours." Su Xia said, "They should be back soon."
Akagi said, "They were in the same fleet as the Chasers and the Borg, so they must have returned together, but they left the others behind and returned alone."
It's not that a fleet is speechless, the members of a fleet must help each other. Thinking of this, Su Xia nodded and said, "That's right."
"In that case," Akagi said, "Admiral, do you plan to stay here for an hour or two?"
"One or two hours is just one or two hours, it's nothing."
"Maybe one or two hours is not enough." Akagi walked to Su Xia's side, stood side by side with him, and looked out at the dark sea. "The admiral is worried that everyone will come back, or that they will come back injured and feel lost because they can't see the admiral and can only return to the garrison alone?"
"No one will care about this." Akagi said affirmatively.
"Everyone can ignore it," Su Xia said, "but I can't ignore it."
Akagi smiled: "The Admiral has really changed."
"It's okay." Su Xia said modestly.
Akagi said: "It's not that I don't want the admiral to wait, but I think it's meaningless. It doesn't matter if you come later. What the admiral should do now is... arrange us first."
Su Xia said: "Everything has been arranged. Victory..."
"We don't want the Victory. We want the Admiral." Akagi interrupted Su Xia, looked into his eyes, and said emotionally, "When a girl is hurt, she is at her most vulnerable. She needs the man she loves to be with her... Does the Admiral know?"
As expected of Akagi who wasn't eating, he was so terrifying.
Akagi was preparing for a combo, but she noticed from the corner of her eye that Lexington was looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat. Lexington didn't say anything, but only heard the sound of flapping wings and something falling to the ground.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a bald eagle lying on the square bricks of the dock like a dead chicken.
"Bell, are you asleep? How did you fall to the ground?" The white-haired girl Essex quickly squatted on the ground and picked up the wilted bald eagle.
Essex, the first ship of the Essex-class aircraft carrier.
Speaking of Essex, we have to mention that the Essex-class aircraft carrier is a concrete manifestation of the United States' strong industrial manufacturing capabilities. It is mass-produced according to standard design plans, allowing shipyards to smoothly adopt assembly line operations...
In short, the United States once produced 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers in a short period of time. This shipbuilding technology, like making dumplings, also gave the Essex class the nickname of "dumpling class".
I don't know if it's this reason or just coincidence, but the Essex-class characters in the game all have great bodies, but they are dressed tightly. Just like dumplings, the dumpling skin wraps the dumpling filling tightly, and under the dumpling skin is the plump meat filling.
As a battleship, Essex has an ace pilot, David McCampbell, who shot down 34 enemy planes during the war, making him the pilot with the most enemy kills in the US Navy Air Force. As a ship girl, Essex has a pet bald eagle named Bell McCampbell.
The carrier-based aircraft are useless at night and have no combat effectiveness. The prototype is the ace pilot Bald Eagle Bell McCann, or the ship emblem of the USS Essex... Anyway, the bald eagle is not an owl, so what can it do at night? It can only lie down.
Hancock sneered at Bell McCann.
CV-16 was very concerned about Bell McCann and asked anxiously, "Mr. Bell, are you okay?"
No matter what Bell McCann was like during the day, Bell McCann spoke weakly at night.
"No...someone pushed me."
Essex looked back and saw no one behind her, and said, "No one."
"There was someone," Bell McCann said. "He must have gotten away."
"There really is no one," Essex said, "and who would be so bored as to push Bell for something."
Kewei suddenly laughed and said, "Jiaozi, you really are. You know Bell McCann's character. He is so stubborn... You must make him admit that he fell asleep and didn't hold your shoulders tightly, and then fell down."
The bald eagle noticed Essex looking at it, and smiled, trying to explain: "I didn't, someone just pushed me... I understand, Kewei, it must have been Kewei who pushed me."
"Just because I said it, did I do it?" Kewei looked at CV-16, "Tai Shiwu, you are a great detective, you deduce it and see if it was me. Do I have any reason to do that...Okay, okay, I did it well. I'm really sorry, Bell McCann, I shouldn't have pushed you."
"She admitted it. She admitted it," Bell McCann said. "Listen, dumpling, she admitted that she did it."
Essex didn't believe it was done by the fearful one, because there was no reason.
Akagi glanced at Kewei. He didn't know if it was Kewei who pushed Belle McCann, but someone pushed Belle McCann - she couldn't scream suddenly, and she couldn't push down those little lolis, or someone, a pet bald eagle was the best choice - in order to interrupt her continuous attacks on the admiral.
Even if it was Kewei, now was not the time to find out who was against her, let's get rid of one person first. Akagi said: "It must be Kewei who pushed Bell McCann, but Bell McCann should be tired... Jiaozi, why don't you take Bell McCann back to rest, put him in the nest, and put him on the bird stand."
Essex looked at everyone, then looked down at the bald eagle and whispered, "Yes... I'm leaving first and taking Belle back to bed."
Essex exits.
"I'll go too."
Since someone got there first, the Empire was immediately rude. She couldn't understand why everyone cared so much about the admiral. Instead of fighting for the admiral, she should play games or read books. When the time came, the admiral would come naturally.
The empire is gone.
With so much experience, Su Xia had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so she said, "Okay, Feiying, Falcon and the others will probably be back soon, so let's go back first. It's the same if we come out later to wait for them and greet them."
When Essex and Empire disappeared behind the shade of the trees, Su Xia took the lead and walked into the garrison.
Kaga was slightly injured, and his white hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail, was now loose. He asked, "The admiral has left, so let's go too."
"Sure," Akagi said, then called out, "Shokaku, Zuikaku, Hiryuu, Soryuu, Shoho , Zuiho, and Taiho and Shinano... Let's go."
In any case, the admiral had left, so there was no point in staying, so everyone followed him and left.
Saratoga and Lexington stood together and whispered, "Sister, look at that Akagi, he's really arrogant."
"Really?" Lexington said. She didn't care about Akagi, the defeated general, at all.
"I'm very upset with her... I want to stimulate her." Saratoga said, leaving Lexington, running behind Su Xia, and jumping on his back, "Brother-in-law, carry me, I'm injured and can't walk."
Because the blonde girl suddenly pounced on him, Su Xia staggered for a moment, but quickly recovered and said in surprise: "Jia Jia, you are injured... I can't tell."
"I'm injured," Saratoga said. "I'm not cheating. Don't call me the Queen of Cheating."
Su Xia was sure that Saratoga was not injured, not even a little scratched, but since he loved his sister-in-law the most, he could only carry the girl on his back.
Saratoga hugged Su Xia's neck tightly and looked at Akagi provocatively. But who knows if she really wanted to provoke Akagi, or if she had other intentions and wanted to get close to her brother-in-law in front of her sister, or if it was both.
Akagi didn't care about Saratoga's provocation, but that didn't mean she would remain indifferent. After thinking for a while, she said, "To be honest, I've always been curious. Gaga always calls the admiral brother-in-law... Is it because the admiral is Lexington's husband, or Constellation's husband?"
Akagi got to know Lexington, and then got to know her two sisters, and what conflicts there were between them.
"Of course it's because..." Saratoga responded, "Zodiac is not my sister."
"Why not..." Akagi said, "Isn't it Lexington, Constellation, and then Saratoga?"
Saratoga said, "There are only two Lexington-class aircraft carriers, my sister and I. She is a Lexington-class battlecruiser, not my sister."
"A sister is a sister." Akagi said, "If the Constellation in history had not been dismantled and rebuilt properly, then just because she was a battlecruiser, she couldn't be Gaga's sister?"
Saratoga bit her lip.
Akagi snorted and didn't continue. There was no point in bullying a sister.
The canteen and living area are not in the same direction.
Seeing that there was a fork in the road ahead, Su Xia asked, "Are you going to eat first, or take a shower first?"
Su Xia looked at everyone. Not to mention those who were injured, even those who were not injured had been sailing on the sea for so long that their hair had already been messed up by the sea breeze, and it was inevitable that their bodies would be wet by the sea water. Even if they were dried by the sea breeze, there would definitely be fine salt grains remaining on their bodies, which would not be comfortable.
Su Xia said: "I recommend that you take a shower and change clothes before eating. Then you can rest if you need to and repair if you need to."
"I just had a minor scratch and will recover in no time. I plan to take a shower and enter the sewer at the same time. If you, Admiral, can give me a bath, I will recover even faster." Hancock suddenly said, his movements steady, accurate and ruthless.
Akagi smiled and said, "Hancock, your injury has healed in no time. Maybe the admiral hasn't even finished scrubbing you, but you've already recovered."
In the game, it may only take a few seconds to scrub everyone's body. If you are faster, it may take less than a second. In reality, it is not that easy. Let alone dozens of minutes, it will take at least ten minutes to scrub the body clean.
Su Xia asked, "Is Hancock just a little scratch?"
"Well. The durability will be reduced by one. Although this is the case, I just want the admiral to help me with my bath... do you want to come?" Hancock looked at Su Xia, turned and walked towards the large bathing area, raising his hand as he walked.
Kewei is now Akagi's helper. She said, "Our aircraft carriers launched carrier-based aircraft to attack the enemy... Even so, there are still many casualties. Battleships, battlecruisers, heavy cruisers... Everyone must face the deep-sea fleet head-on. There must be more casualties, and there are more people who need your help to scrub their bodies."
"So," Kewei said, "What I mean is that the admiral should first consider giving a bath to those who need it, and those who don't need it can wait... Otherwise, when the main force returns, you will be in a mess."
Su Xia took a deep breath. Hancock was on one side, but what Kewei said made sense.
Yorktown nudged Enterprise and said, “Aren’t you going to say anything?”
Enterprise raised his hand and said, "I'm not joining in the fun."
