Chapter 473 Official Business
"Where did you go suddenly, Admiral?"
Santiago spotted Susha walking into the conference room from the corridor.
"I had to go out for a while for something." Su Xia answered perfunctorily. Seeing the tail of the small anchor sticking out from Santiago's skirt, she couldn't help but reach out and pull it.
"Admiral, don't pull my tail." Santiago covered his little butt with one hand and pulled his tail with the other.
"Is the Admiral acting like a hooligan again?" Wisconsin interrupted.
"How can I be considered a hooligan if I just pulled his tail?" Su Xia said unconvinced.
Wisconsin smiled and said, "Don't you know that the tail is San Diego's Achilles' heel?"
"Uh..." Su Xia hesitated when she heard Wisconsin's words, wondering whether to let go of Santiago's tail.
"No, it's not fatal." Santiago said loudly. Her voice was quite loud at this time, causing everyone to look at her. She was too embarrassed to lower her head.
"If it's not a vital part," Su Xia was really interested in the tail behind the four cat-eared sisters, "Is it okay for me to touch it?"
"No," Santiago refused.
"Why?" Su Xia asked.
Santiago opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain, and almost cried.
"Even if it's not a vital part, does it mean you can just touch a girl with your hands?" Enterprise, the new secretary ship, was surrounded by people and walked over.
Su Xia thought about it and it seemed to be true. She said helplessly, "Okay."
"Is King George V okay?" Enterprise asked. She saw King George V leave, followed by the admiral, and then she heard the explanation from the Prince of Wales and knew everything.
"No problem." Su Xia bit her lip lightly, "Very energetic."
"That's good." Enterprise glanced at Su Xia.
Su Xia always felt that Enterprise's gaze was meaningful. She didn't know if Enterprise had seen through something. Anyway, she said something: "Congratulations to Enterprise. You have successfully passed all the tests and become a secretary ship."
"Congratulations." Enterprise clasped his fists towards Su Xia, "I congratulate the admiral as well."
"Congratulations on what?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"Congratulations, Admiral, for having such an excellent Enterprise as your secretary ship." Enterprise said confidently.
Su Xia smiled and nodded: "Indeed."
"From now on, Enterprise is the secretary ship, right?" Missouri lazily laid on the conference table. "A new official has three things to do when he takes office. What is the first thing Enterprise plans to do?"
L20 is a mascot when it comes to being a secretary ship, while Enterprise is a secretary ship for work. She is already a well-known figure in the naval base, and now she is also a secretary ship, which makes her second to none.
"It will take time to hand over the work," said the company.
"What kind of work needs to be handed over..." Su Xia said, "Do you think L20 has any work to hand over from its original position as a secretary ship?"
"There isn't much work for L20, but there is for Victory," Enterprise said.
"Yes." Shengli was naturally in the meeting room as an assistant. "There are a lot of tasks that need to be handed over."
"I will try my best." Enterprise said, "Don't worry, senior."
"Don't call me senior." Victory said. She hated being called senior the most.
"Got it." The enterprise was not playing tricks.
Victory thought for a moment and said, "The handover will take at least one day."
"Does the handover take that long?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"I'm afraid one day is not enough." Shengli said, "I don't care about L20. It's useless. As for the enterprise, I have very high requirements."
"What?" L20 was still a secretary ship until the final results of the secretary ship exam were announced. Of course, she had to attend the secretary ship exam. At this time, she heard the words of the Victory and said dissatisfiedly, "Even if I am not as good as the Enterprise, I am not that bad... What do you mean by a piece of mud that can't be helped?"
"Isn't it?" Victory said bluntly.
L20 thought about it, retreated to advance, and said, "If you say so, then so be it."
"That's right." Victory glanced at the grumbling L20, then turned back to Enterprise. "Anyway, I'll take you around the naval base tomorrow, and I'll leave the admiralship to you from now on... I still have exercises to do."
"I originally wanted George V to be the secretary ship, but who knew that he would do something like that? But Enterprise isn't bad either." As a British ship, Victory is definitely more inclined to King George V. "I really want to see what changes you can bring to the naval base if you become the secretary ship, Enterprise."
"I'm also very curious. Can I ask?" Victory said, "What does Enterprise plan to do after becoming a secretary ship?"
Enterprise pondered for a moment and said, "There are many things I want to do."
"What's the first thing you plan to do?" asked the Victory.
"The first thing I plan to do..." Enterprise said with a smile, "is to raise my own salary."
"What do you mean?" asked the Victory.
"Literally, it means to help the secretary ship raise her salary... also help the admiral raise her salary, help the admiral's assistant Victory raise her salary, help finance and accounting Wisconsin raise her salary, help legal Washington raise her salary, help everyone raise their salary." Enterprise said, "Yixian gets salary and points for canteen management, and other people who help also get salary and points, and our office needs it too."
Victory knew what Enterprise wanted to do, and said, "We were originally thinking about helping everyone get a raise, but then something happened and delayed it... Enterprise, as soon as you became a secretary ship, the first thing you did was to raise your own salary. Aren't you really afraid of what people will say?"
"Work must be paid in accordance with the work. This is a matter of course. I am open and aboveboard and not afraid of any discussion." The company said openly.
"When we help improve everyone's treatment, the requirements will definitely be stricter." Missouri knew the Enterprise very well. "The stick and carrot policy is a good way to establish authority and win people's hearts."
Enterprise did not comment.
"I'm really relieved now," said Victory.
"A garrison is like a home..." Su Xia interrupted, "It's not a company, society, gang or anything like that. Is it necessary to make such a big deal about it?"
"Don't you know, Admiral?" Enterprise said, "Be a villain first and a gentleman later."
"Too."
The interview started at two o'clock in the afternoon. The first stage of preparation and the second stage of presentation took an hour alone. The third stage of free time took the most time, consuming nearly two hours. That is to say, the interview ended at nearly five o'clock in the afternoon. After counting the scores and chatting for a while, it was almost dinner time.
At this dinner, Su Xia naturally sat with Qiye to discuss the future development of the garrison.
It was just a change of personnel on the secretary ship, and it wasn't a major holiday, so there was no elaborate celebration or banquet prepared. The dinner was just ordinary.
The days of fried fish and potatoes could not be returned. Shengli liked sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and every meal was a must for sweet and sour pork tenderloin. At this time, he skillfully used chopsticks to pick up a piece of tenderloin and put it into his mouth, chewing slowly and enjoying the sour and sweet taste in his mouth. After eating a piece, he temporarily put down his chopsticks and said, "Enterprise, you are ready."
“Yeah.” Business loves spring rolls.
"I don't know how much you know about the garrison, but I'll take you around it tomorrow," the Victory said. "As a secretary ship, you must know what exactly is in our garrison."
Victory extended his fist and gave a thumbs-up. "To maintain such a large garrison, garbage disposal and sewage treatment centers are essential. In addition, the water treatment center, seawater desalination system, substation... these places are basically in the charge of the German system, mainly for daily maintenance and upkeep. If there is a problem, Yubari, Kouwei and Renown must step in..."
Victory pressed his temple and shook his head gently, saying, "Speaking of this, I really admire Reputation... She knows everything. Even if she doesn't know it right now, she will know it after a while... Anyway, I tell you, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can always ask Reputation. In terms of professionalism, she is not as good as Yubari, Kouwei, and Iowa, but there is nothing she doesn't know."
Su Xia was eating grilled eel and thinking to herself, "My maid is the best in the world."
"I understand." The enterprise said that normal people should not compare themselves with reputation, because they can't compare.
"Do you know how many yachts and planes we have in our garrison?" asked the Victory.
The company replied: “I know a little bit.”
"Admiral, do you know?" Victory asked Su Xia.
"Of course I know." Su Xia said as a matter of course, "It's nothing special to know how many yachts and planes there are." Victory said, "Do you remember how many resources and equipment we have in the garrison?"
"I know about the resources, but what about the equipment..." Su Xia laughed dryly. He had been to the equipment warehouse and there were too many equipments.
"I know," said the Victory.
Shengli is not a person who likes to brag. What he says is what he means. Su Xia did not want to test Shengli and said, "You are great. I am not as good as you ."
"I don't need you to accept my advice. I just hope you know that shame can lead to courage." Victory said bluntly.
"I understand." Su Xia leaned over the dining table and suddenly remembered that Shang Chu had hoped that he could sell equipment. She wanted to buy it, but there had been no news until now. It had come to nothing. She didn't know whether she should ask her or not, so she just gave up.
Victory sneered , "To be honest, I've always suspected that you didn't even know how many people we have in the garrison."
"Victory, you're going too far." Su Xia said, "Victory, don't underestimate me. It's too bad that as an admiral, you don't even know how many ship girls there are in your own garrison."
Even if I knew which ship girls I had before... I only knew which ship girls there were, but I didn't know how many there were. I've been an admiral for so long, and I've looked through the roster and paid attention to everyone, so I already knew that. Thinking of this, Su Xia looked around.
Three Colorado sisters sitting together.
The Lion and the Conqueror sat together, along with the Avant-garde and the Royal Ark. The Royal Ark in cheongsam was really cute.
Missouri didn't sit with her sister. The short-haired woman sitting with Missouri must be Hindenburg.
Hindenburg, the first Hindenburg-class battleship. As the core of Plan Z and the absolute main force of the German Navy in the future, it basically follows the design of Bismarck, but the main gun caliber is larger, the tonnage is larger, and the power system has also been changed.
In fact, there was no such thing as a Hindenburg-class battleship.
Hindenburg and Hindenburg-class battleships did not exist in history. Strictly speaking, they should be called Battleship H and H39-class battleships respectively. After all, due to the outbreak of World War II, only the first two ships of the H39 plan began to lay the keel, and the half-built hull was placed in the dock until the Navy Command ordered it to be dismantled for other purposes.
The H39-class battleship never had an official name, and several names commonly seen in publications, including Hindenburg, were all speculations.
As for the Hindenburg today, just like those ships on the drawings, they all come from people's thoughts and wishes, and the sea appears in response to people's thoughts and wishes.
Suxia saw that Missouri noticed that he was looking at them, pushed Hindenburg and waved at him, and he waved back at them.
Su Xia saw Missouri take out his cell phone and pointed at it, meaning for him to look at it.
Su Xia took out her cell phone, but there was nothing there. Suddenly, she saw a message from Missouri.
"I told you Hindenburg is super cute, and has a nice body, with a curvy figure."
"Let's go to the Hindenburg Room tonight."
"Let me hold her hands for you."
Su Xia took a screenshot decisively, and after searching, he found that he didn't have Hindenburg's contact information, so he could only return the screenshot to Missouri.
"Do you want me to send this screenshot to Hindenburg?"
"You know what to do now."
Su Xia waited for a while and saw the news that Missouri had returned.
"The night is long and I have no mood to sleep. I wish Xiu Yan well...Brother Su Xia."
Su Xia thought of the ship girl who stayed in her room that night, and a smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of her mouth.
"Admiral, why are you laughing while looking at your phone?" Enterprise's voice suddenly sounded.
Su Xia was startled, and quickly turned off the phone, saying, "Nothing."
"Really?" Enterprise asked.
"Really." Su Xia said, "We were just talking about that... Victory, don't underestimate me. How could I not even know how many ship girls there are in my own garrison?"
Victory glanced at Su Xia. After all, she was the admiral, so she had to give him some face and not be too harsh. She said, "Speaking of the admiral, you don't have to know how many resources and equipment our garrison has... Of course, it's best to know, but Enterprise must know what our garrison has, so that when the admiral asks, it's easy to answer."
"Yeah." Su Xia nodded repeatedly.
They sat in the cafeteria hall and discussed for a long time until only a few foodies were left in the entire hall.
"How about this?" Su Xia asked.
"That's it." Victory looked at the time. It was already late. "We can talk about it tomorrow if there's any time."
Victory had already cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks and plates and placed them all on the plate. She picked up the plate and walked over while Su Xia was still cleaning up.
"Admiral, were you chatting with Missouri on the phone at the beginning?" Enterprise had also packed up and was waiting for Su Xia with a tray of food.
"Uh... yes." Su Xia did not deny it. "Is there any problem?"
"No problem." Enterprise paused, "It's just..."
"You won't forget, will you? We have to discuss official business together tonight."
"ah?"
