Chapter 429 Pressure

As soon as they walked out of the tea room and into the corridor, Su Xia couldn't wait to ask, " What's the matter with Chicheng asking me to walk with you?"

"Apart from the time when Mutsu got him drunk in the izakaya, this is the first time the admiral has entered our Japanese residential area." Akagi did not answer his question.

Seeing that Chicheng didn't answer, Su Xia didn't ask any more questions. He said, "I guess so."

"How is it?" Akagi asked.

"Not bad." Su Xia praised, "Very beautiful. I think it can be ranked alongside the Chinese restaurant as the most beautiful place in the garrison."

"Really?" Akagi smiled.

Su Xia nodded affirmatively.

"From here is Feng Xiang's room. She lives near where the destroyers live, and is mainly responsible for taking care of the group of children. Fuso, Shokaku and others also help out occasionally." Akagi suddenly introduced while looking at the sliding door beside the corridor.

"I know." Su Xia said. After being an admiral for so long, he now basically understands everything in the garrison. The Japanese children are mainly taken care of by Feng Xiang, and the British children have a lot of maids such as Reputation, Counterattack, Shropshire, etc., and poor Fletcher himself is a destroyer and has to take care of a lot of sisters...

"Feng Xiang is not in the tea room, nor in the room. Where did he go? Izakaya, big bath or cafeteria... I don't know. I can't guess." Akagi said and retracted his gaze, "By the way, what do you think of our Japanese style, Admiral?"

"What's going on?" Su Xia asked subconsciously.

Su Xia thought for a moment and smiled, "I heard from Xiao Zhai that the garrison is mainly divided into the court and the eight great families. The court is the office represented by the admiral, and the eight great families are the eight factions - Britain, America, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Soviet Union, and Fishery. Of course, there are some ship girls who do not belong to these eight factions, but their number is too small to count."

"Then Britain, America, and Japan are the strongest among the eight great families." Su Xia said, "The garrison has the most say."

"How can Japan be ranked in the top three?" Akagi said, "It would be more appropriate to replace Japan with Germany."

"The Derby is still a little behind," Su Xia said, "The combined fleet has more people than the Imperial Navy."

"It's just that there are more people." Akagi said, "In terms of combat effectiveness, the Germans have Bismarck, Kitazaki, Zeppelin, Hindenburg, Hutten, Leipzig... L20 may still need time to grow, and they often attack. On the other hand, the only Japanese who have any combat effectiveness are me, Shinano, Taiho, Ariaki, and Nagato."

"Do Hiei and Shun'ei not count? Doesn't Zuiho count? Fuso, as an aviation battleship, also made many sorties. There's also Mogami, Kitakami, and Ooi." Su Xia said, "Since everyone agrees with the Japanese system, it means there's nothing wrong with the Japanese system... Compared to the British and American, especially the American, it's probably really incomparable, but it's still a little stronger than the German system."

"Yeah." Akagi responded.

Let's keep moving forward.

"Admiral, you know, Akagi really feels a lot of pressure sometimes." Akagi said suddenly.

"What kind of pressure?" Su Xia asked.

"What kind of pressure is that... As the big sister of the Japanese faction, I must protect everyone from being bullied, safeguard everyone's interests, and protect the position of the Combined Fleet in the tutelary fort." Akagi said, "Nagato doesn't look like she can make it. I really hope Yamato can come soon, then I can unload the burden and hand over the Combined Fleet to her ."

"Yamato... that's unreliable." Su Xia said. He couldn't understand why that game didn't want to include Yamato. "Even if she comes, even if she is the Yamato, so what... at most she'll be a lady, like Hu De, the honorary flagship of the navy, and you will always be the big sister of the Japanese series."

"It seems so." Akagi pondered for a moment. She held onto the pillar of the corridor and looked at the courtyard at night. The stone lanterns were hidden in the bushes. The green pool water in the teahouse was swaying under the light of the stone lanterns. She sighed deeply, "It's so difficult. It really feels a bit difficult."

Akagi patted his clothes. "In terms of combat power, the German faction is closely following the Japanese faction, and it feels like it will soon surpass them. Although people don't expect to make money by opening a store in the garrison, the faction that opens more stores in the garrison also represents the greatest influence in the garrison."

Akagi continued, "The Japanese only have two businesses in the tutelary fort. One is an izakaya, where we Japanese basically eat, and the other is a supermarket."

"In comparison." Akagi narrowed his eyes, then opened them after a long while. "In the early days of the tutelary fort, it was entirely dependent on the British faction. At that time, the American factions were only Lexington and Saratoga. The commercial building was built with the land provided by the office, and they paid for it. They own almost half of the shares of the commercial building. The American faction operates video game arcades, coffee shops, bars, and almost all entertainment stores. The French faction runs the most popular luxury goods and clothing stores in the tutelary fort..."

"Let's talk about how many people are in the office and in the court. The British have the Victory, she is the admiral's assistant. The German L20 is hard to say, her secretary ship is the mascot, but Leipzig is the warehouse manager. The American Wisconsin is the finance, Washington is the legal department, and there is also audit..." Akagi laughed, "The Japanese have almost no one working in the office."

Su Xia said: "The garrison is a big family, not a company."

"I know the tutelary fort is a big family." Akagi smiled bitterly, "But who would want to be a sister? Only heartless people like Beizhai and the Empire don't care about those things."

Su Xia was silent. She had to admit that those things existed. Even in a big family, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Akagi squatted on the ground.

“That’s not all.”

Akagi buried his head in his arms and said, "The Admiral should know what the conflict is between me and Lexington. Yes, I just don't accept her. What right does she have? But I know that I can't compare to Lexington at all. I am not her opponent at all. Even if I try my best, I can barely catch up with her."

"She is Mrs. Lexington, the wife acknowledged by the admiral, and the admiral's first marriage ship. She joined the garrison when it was first established, and accompanied the admiral in his growth, conquering one sea after another, and becoming a marshal." Akagi pursed his lips. "If that were the case, it would be fine. She is beautiful, has feelings for the admiral, is smart, is good at both literature and martial arts, and has a sense of humor... There is absolutely no weakness."

"She still has weaknesses." Su Xia said, "Lexington's weakness is that she can't be too caring. Sometimes I feel that she is more like a doting mother than a wife."

"But the admiral likes her personality very much." Akagi asked.

"Yes." Su Xia said, he likes Lexington and will always like Lexington.

"So," Akagi said, "Akagi joined the naval base not too late, but not too early either. He only gained a little power after the transformation and was able to help the admiral do some things... He is not as good as Lexington at all. He keeps provoking Lexington just to show his presence."

"When Lexington was feeling proud, I pulled her clothes and told her, 'Hey, hey, hey, I'm here.' I was proud of myself for creating a sense of crisis for Lexington." Akagi laughed. His laughter was uglier than crying.

"I feel so stressed, so stressed," Akagi said. "Only when I eat... the daifuku is delicious, the croquettes are crispy and delicious, and the shrimp tempura dipping sauce is delicious. I just remember that the food is delicious and don't feel stressed. So I keep eating and eating, and I have become a foodie."

"It's all thanks to the fact that she's a ship girl. As a ship girl, her physique is different from that of ordinary people. Otherwise, I would definitely be a fat man now, instead of being like this... I can barely be considered to be thin when dressed and fat when undressed." Akagi finally smiled.

Akagi stood up and said, "Let's keep going."

"good."

The two walked for a long time.

"Actually, that's not so bad." Akagi said, "I've gotten used to that kind of pressure a long time ago."

"Um?"

"The person who really makes me feel stressed is..." Akagi looked at Su Xia and said, "It's you, Admiral."

"How do I put pressure on you?" Su Xia asked.

"The admiral was always away from the garrison before. Even in the small house and Lexington, it was rare to see the admiral. Akagi had an excuse." Akagi said, "Now the admiral lives in the garrison, staying in Missouri's room, staying in Lexington's room... staying in Ariaki's room, but Akagi is not there."

"Does the Admiral hate Akagi?" Akagi paused, "I know the Admiral definitely doesn't hate Akagi, but sometimes I just can't help but think about it. I can't sleep because of it, and I want to get up in the middle of the night to eat."

"I heard that the admiral had come to the Japanese residential area, so I ran over here excitedly." Akagi laughed, "I knew that the admiral would sleep with Fubuki and the others tonight, but I couldn't help but snatch the admiral away... Time is running out, if I miss today, I may never have another chance."

"What?" Su Xia said, "What do you mean there will be no more chances?"

Akagi said: "The Admiral is always on the side of the British and American factions, isn't he?"

Su Xia was speechless.

Akagi turned her back to the moonlight and blinked her eyes. The moon was exceptionally bright as the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, and Akagi was exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight.

Lexington is the sun and Akagi is the moon.

"Akagi really feels a lot of pressure."

"Akagi really likes the admiral."

"Akagi is so scared."

"Akagi doesn't want to be left too far behind by Lexington."

"Akagi..."

"Akagi wants... if possible, the Admiral can stay in Akagi's room tonight."

Su Xia hugged Akagi gently.

"No problem...as long as Akagi is willing."

Akagi hugged Su Xia.

Su Xia stroked Akagi's smooth long hair and said, "I like Akagi."

"It's okay." Su Xia said , "The Admiral is here, everything will be fine."
