Chapter 396 Consumption
At three o'clock in the morning, the large force returned one after another.
The first to return was the heavy cruiser fleet.
The reason is simple——
The Deep Sea Eagle was sunk, but there was still a large number of deep-sea fleets, but without the restraint and control of the deep-sea flagship, they lost their unified goal and were no longer a threat. In any case, the main fleet must be left behind. Of course, the slow main fleet can retreat. The heavy cruiser fleet is the fastest among the retreating fleets.
"Admiral! I'm injured, and I need your help to scrub my body." Wichita was a girl with a heroic character. She rushed over to Su Xia as soon as she saw her.
"Okay, okay. No problem." Su Xia was already numb now. "In addition to helping with the bath, you can also help with the massage."
"Yeah." Wichita almost jumped up, "Let's go then."
"I still need to greet everyone here..." Su Xia called Lexington. He hoped that everyone would finish their meal and repairs and go to bed and rest early, but Lexington insisted on helping him. After persuading him for a few times without success, he did not force him. "Take Wichita to take a shower, eat, and rest."
It was just a heavy cruiser, and an American one at that. How could Wichita dare to resist Lexington? She just looked at Su Xia eagerly, hoping that he would say something, but Su Xia was not moved at all.
The garrison sent out two heavy cruisers, one of which was the main heavy cruiser fleet where Wichita was, and the other was a heavy cruiser fleet with less combat power. Despite this, there were also some with all the members at level 100, and their equipment was also very good, but the main thing was that they had not been modified and their skills were not very good.
No matter how many times she met him, Su Xia was always shocked every time she saw Des Moines.
Des Moines, the lead ship of the Des Moines-class heavy cruiser.
The Des Moines entered service quite late in history. World War II had already ended and there was no war in the world, which made Des Moines have a lot of skills but nowhere to display them. In any case, Des Moines's combat effectiveness is quite strong. Her gun has a very high rate of fire, and the most important thing is that it uses an automatic loading device. However, as a price, this turret is very heavy.
The turret is so powerful, and it is also the strongest and last type of artillery cruiser in the United States. If the battleship is like this, what about the ship girl?
As a heavy cruiser, its combat power is definitely not the opponent of those battleships. As a heavy cruiser, its size can crush those battleships, and it can be said to be the strongest in the naval base. What Lion, what Prince of Wales, what King of Football Fuso, they are not even a match for it.
As a girl, Des Moines was very sensitive to sight and easily noticed Su Xia's gaze, but she didn't care at all because she was the marriage ship.
Newport News was obviously not that reliable. When she noticed Su Xia's eyes looking at her sister's breasts, she said loudly, "Admiral, you are peeking at my sister's breasts."
Newport News, the third ship of the Des Moines class. As the younger sister of Des Moines, it naturally served after World War II and missed World War II.
As Newport News' voice rang out, Su Xia found that everyone was looking at him. He thought he had hidden his gaze well, but he didn't expect to be seen through so easily. He hesitated at the time.
"Why do you keep looking at her breasts and not mine?" Newport News continued, revealing his unreliable side, "My breasts are about the same size as my sister's."
"Really, really, I never understand." Newport News kept talking, "Why do you always say Des Moines, Des Moines? Obviously, I am not bad either."
Des Moines rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't want to... I'm always compared to others. It's hard to buy clothes with such big breasts... I really don't understand what there is to envy."
Royal Ark stood at the edge of the dock and said, "I thought you were great enough, Conqueror... There are always better places. And, isn't that really Versailles?"
Ella thought for a moment and said, "Des Moines is definitely not that kind of person... Maybe this is the siege. People outside the city want to get in, and people inside the city want to get out."
After the two heavy cruiser fleets returned, the light cruiser fleet returned soon. Among them, Yixian was mixed with other slow-speed fleets because of its low speed.
"Admiral, Admiral, there must be a bonus for suppressing the deep-sea flagship, right?" Leipzig asked for the bonus as soon as he came back.
Su Xia had a blank expression on her face and asked, "I just want to ask, how much did you get?"
As a light cruiser, how could it achieve any results among so many battleships? Leipzig said with a smile, "I am a light cruiser. My mission is to escort. No submarine can attack a battleship under my nose. No battleship has been attacked under my escort. Can it be said that I have completed my mission perfectly?"
Leipzig ripped his tattered clothes pitifully and said, "Look at me, I was seriously injured while escorting. Can you really bear it? You won't even give me a hundred dollars."
"Okay, okay. Here you go, here's your bonus ." Su Xia said, "Go take a shower, eat, and then get ready for the repair."
"Scrub my body." Leipzig reminded, "Admiral, remember to scrub my body for me."
"One minute... this number." Su Xia raised five fingers. Of course he was joking. He just wanted to test how the stingy Leipzig would react.
"Five hundred?" Leipzig asked cautiously.
Su Xia waved her hand and said, "Thousand."
The money in the garrison's account is not small, but it belongs to the garrison and must be used in the operation of the garrison, not to the admiral. The admiral gets a salary every month, and the salary is really not cheap. Even so, for him, Wan is still a very scary unit.
"Is five thousand a minute so cheap?" Leipzig smiled. "Give me an hour first."
Su Xia never expected that Grandet would suddenly be so generous. "I regret it, it's still ten thousand."
Leipzig started to shout, "Are you still bringing in a temporary price increase?"
Su Xia pretended to be disgusted and said, "If you don't have money, don't learn to spend like others."
"I just strongly condemn your unscrupulous behavior of raising prices suddenly." Leipzig stretched out his finger and pressed harder on Su Xia's chest, "I didn't say I wouldn't spend money. Fifty thousand a minute is fifty thousand a minute. I have saved a lot of money over the years... I want one hour."
Su Xia shrugged and said, "It's just talk... boring."
"I'm not just kidding," Leipzig said. "I'm serious."
"Do you think I will believe you are serious?" Su Xia touched his head. "I heard that you hardly spend money in the garrison because the prices inside are higher than outside."
"I don't like shopping inside the garrison because the prices are high. I like to go out and buy things when I have time." Leipzig put his hands behind his back and lowered his head.
"I am stingy." Leipzig paused, "I am so stingy, but I just want to..."
Leipzig kept their heads down.
"The admiral has no money. Even if the admiral's salary is high, as he was paid last month, the expenses of the garrison are also high... Yes, no one will take the admiral's money. The problem is that whether or not to take the admiral's money is different from whether the admiral has money or not."
"A man without money can't even speak with dignity." Leipzig said, "And now you go to the KanColle headquarters once in a while... You have to spend money no matter what you do there. And as a man, if you buy things with KanColle, those people outside and the waiters will laugh at you."
"Even if the admiral doesn't care." Leipzig looked at the sparkling sea under the lights on the dock, "I won't allow others to look down on the admiral."
"I don't have much money, but I've saved quite a bit over the years... If the admiral has no money, just ask Leipzig for it. Take the little ones out to play, and buy them some more candy and toys. When you're with other admirals, play and spend money the same way they do, and don't be reluctant."
Su Xia looked at Leipzig and felt like she couldn't tell a joke anymore.
Helena noticed something was wrong, walked over and asked, "Admiral, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Leipzig finally punched Su Xia. "Don't take it seriously. You want me to pay? You're just dreaming."
Helena looked at Leipzig's back as he walked away with his hands on the back of his head, and frowned slightly.
Su Xia asked, "Leipzig is Grandet, right?"
"Why did the Admiral suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask." Su Xia said. He remembered that some people were reluctant to spend money, but they insisted that their boyfriends, husbands, and children should not be stingy and should be generous with money.
"If Admiral doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it... Anyway, I'm injured, and I need the Admiral to rub my back." Helena jumped onto Su Xia and hugged his neck, but her attention and eyes were always on Leipzig.
