Chapter 512: Great Strength Creates Miracles
The guests stayed in the garrison. There were important things to do the next day. Mainly because Dafeng was sensible and easy to satisfy, Su Xia went to bed quite early that night.
If you go to bed early, you naturally get up early - getting up at eight o'clock is not too early, as many people have already started working - in short, Su Xia got up at eight o'clock today, and arrived at the cafeteria at half past eight, taking her breakfast tray and enjoying a delicious breakfast with Dafeng.
Then this is the reception room in the office building at 9:30 in the morning.
"Good morning." Su Xia greeted Shang Chu who arrived at the reception room on time.
"Good morning." Shang Chu said.
Su Xia looked at her phone and said with a smile, "You must have come on time."
"Aren't you?" Shang Chu asked back, "Admiral Su has a good sense of time."
"It's okay." Su Xia nodded and said, "Anyway, I hate people who have no sense of time. I have no idea what those people who are late for an appointment are thinking. If you feel that time is too tight, you can make an appointment later. Of course, it's understandable if you have to deal with something suddenly. Is it that difficult to just make a phone call to notify them?"
"It's difficult, of course it's difficult." Shang Chu smiled.
"Also," Su Xia complained, "It's okay to be late for something unexpected. It's really hard to understand your behavior when you just walked out the door and kept saying you were almost there."
"Admiral Su looks like he has suffered greatly from this." Shang Chu said, "Who in this garrison dares to date Admiral Su sooner or later?"
"I'm not talking about everyone, everyone is still very punctual, I'm talking about some people." Since they have already traveled through time, it is meaningless to talk about the people and things in that world. Su Xia waved her hand and said, "How did you sleep last night, Admiral Shang? Don't be polite, just tell me if you are not satisfied with anything."
"Very good." Shang Chu said.
"Are you used to the food?" Su Xia asked, asking with confidence. Yixian was in charge of the canteen, and all the staff were experts in cooking. There was no one who was bad at cooking. They prepared everything from Chinese food to Western food and Japanese food. There were still people who had complaints about such a canteen and were just picking on it.
"It couldn't be better." Shang Chu said, revealing a sad expression. "You don't know that in our garrison, breakfast every day is to buy frozen buns, rice dumplings, pizza and other things from outside and heat them up. Lunch and dinner are almost the same..."
Normally, there would be no one in a garrison except the admiral and the ship girls.
If the admiral and the ship girl don't know how to cook in this situation, it will be a big problem. However, with the development of technology, everything can be refrigerated and heated up when needed. There are also a lot of instant hot foods that can be heated up after opening.
"I want Yixian, too." Shang Chu shouted, "I want to have a big meal every day, too."
"Bless you." Su Xia said politely.
Shang Chu glanced at Su Xia and said disdainfully: "Your blessing is not sincere at all."
"Then what does it take to be sincere?" Su Xia asked.
"Anyway, there is no sincerity." Shang Chu thought for a while and said, the female admiral is also a girl, girls can be unreasonable sometimes, "If there is no Yixian, Ninghai or Pinghai will be fine... Fuso, Shokaku, Mutsu or something will also be fine... My request is not high, right?"
"Is it really not high?" Su Xia asked.
"Is it high?" Shang Chu looked at Su Xia, remembering that he took her to visit the cafeteria kitchen, where more than a dozen beautiful cooks were busy cooking delicious food and looked even more delicious. There were dozens of dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining area for everyone to choose from. He suddenly felt a little unbalanced, "You have more than a dozen or twenty, but I only need one... Is it considered high to only need one person?"
"It's no use yelling at me." Su Xia said. For some reason, she was very happy to see Shang Chu's hysterical look.
Shang Chu clenched his fists, but being angry was useless.
"I envy you." Shang Chu bit his lip, "You have a cafeteria like that, you can always dream of delicious food."
"No." Su Xia said, "Our cafeteria has been recently renovated and is now like this."
"Hmm?" Shang Chu tilted his head.
Su Xia said calmly, "The original canteen chef was London."
"What did you just say?" Shang Chu stopped. You know, London's name is well-known in the entire admiral and ship girl circle, and no one can ignore it. "Was your cafeteria's original chef London?"
"Don't you know? " Su Xia asked.
"I don't know." Shang Chu said, "I haven't heard you mention it."
"So have I told you that I've eaten London food?" Su Xia asked calmly.
"What, you've eaten London food?" Shang Chu was really surprised.
"It's nothing big." Su Xia waved her hand and walked to the reception table and sat down.
Shang Chu looked at Su Xia. This time, she really admired him. She had heard that those big guys were more ruthless than each other. Burning their livers was a small matter. They were not as brave as this guy who dared to eat London cuisine. Today, she really saw it and felt ashamed of herself.
Once everyone is seated at the reception table, stop talking nonsense and get down to business.
"We want two MK6s, and in addition..." The admiral and the secretary ship discussed for a whole night, and Shang Chu spoke without hesitation this time. In addition to the two MK6s, there are some other equipment, most of which are relatively cost-effective equipment.
"I still agree that the MK6 is not very cost-effective." Su Xia paused, thinking that it would be fine to just give a brief reminder. Talking too much nonsense would make her seem a little too self-righteous. "But you guys have thought it through, so let's do what we have to do."
"This is the first time I see business being pushed outside," said Shang Chu.
Su Xia turned the red teacup and said, "I'm just telling the truth. You can't recommend everything you need or don't need just for the sake of business. That's not a good idea."
Su Xia thought of the tricks that Santi had mentioned. Of course, there was no forced buying or selling or bundled sales, but there were all kinds of messed up things like discounts for purchases above a certain amount, you could get a certain amount off as long as you bought a certain amount, a certain piece of equipment was on sale today and the discount would expire after the deadline, a variety of package options, several pieces of equipment were sold for only a certain amount together, and finally, interest-free installment payment services were provided.
Su Xia's idea is very simple - the murderer should be prepared to be killed. If you trick others today, they will trick you the next day. It's better to be less tricky and more sincere. I will exchange sincerity for sincerity.
Shang Chu looked at Su Xia and smiled, thinking that the harmonious admiral circle was the result of everyone's joint efforts, and said, "We have thought about it. We still have some extra money in the garrison, so we might as well use it instead of letting it get moldy. The MK6 is a bit more expensive, but it will never be obsolete."
Su Xia didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "How can the MK6 not be eliminated... Our naval base's main battleships, the ones that usually attack, basically don't have MK6, so they are almost eliminated."
Su Xia found that Shang Chu was staring at him.
After a morning, the transaction was considered completed.
Shang Chu leaned back in her chair, tilting her head to look at Su Xia who was sitting opposite her. She really didn't expect that the other party was so easy to talk to. Even if the admirals are decent people, it doesn't mean that the admirals are easy to talk to. They just won't lie or trick people. Every garrison has its own difficulties, and it is impossible for them to sacrifice themselves to help you. Anyway, they only help in emergencies, not in poverty.
"We agreed that you can pay with money and resources, and you can also pay in installments," Shang Chu reminded.
"It's a deal." Su Xia said. The garrison is not short of money or resources, so why not do me a favor?
"In fact, our garrison can pay off all the money at once." Shang Chu said, "At the beginning, I also wanted to pay off all the money at once, so that I can be debt-free."
"Then why don't you want to pay it off in one go?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"Because I suddenly want to build a few times." Shang Chu said, "Build a ship like Yixian that is good at cooking. We need a cook in the garrison."
"You still remember that." Su Xia said, thinking of their conversation in the morning.
"I remember, of course I remember." Shang Chu suddenly sat up, "Admiral Su, Lord Su, I have a request."
"What request?" Su Xia asked.
"Please teach me." Shang Chu said seriously, "Teach me how to build a ship."
"You have so many shipgirls, you must be good at construction." Shang Chu said, "I want to ask if you have any special construction tips... If it requires any price, please let me know if you have any requirements. I'm sure that request must be difficult, but I will try my best."
"There is no trick." Su Xia said, "It's just an ordinary construction."
"I don't believe it." Shang Chu said.
"Really." Su Xia said, "Why would I lie to you? What's the point?"
"There's no trick." Shang Chu asked, "Is it just luck that killed the seal?"
"No." Su Xia waved his hand. "My luck is not bad, but not good either. It's just average." He had seen how Saratoga, Zuikaku and the others played cards. The good cards that he rarely drew were completely common in their hands . He could only ask Sukhbaatar to help him draw cards to win against them.
"Without any tricks or good luck, how can you build so many ship girls?" Shang Chu thought for a while, "Or is there some trick that you don't know?"
Shang Chu nodded and said, "Admiral Su, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Ask me." Su Xia said, "As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."
"Then let me ask you," Shang Chu said, "Do you do anything special before you build?"
Since I came to this world, I have never built anything. Just like playing a game, I will build it as I want. Thinking of this, Su Xia shook her head and said, "No, I never do anything special before building."
"No, I can't ask you that. It seems that people in the south may have never taken a bath in their lives. Taking a bath is a very special thing for them, but it is very common for people in the north." Shang Chu said, "I know how to ask, and I really know it this time."
"Ask." Su Xia picked up the black tea. The black tea brewed by the Victory had been finished long ago. This pot was brewed by the enterprise. The taste was not as good as the Victory, but it was not far behind.
Shang Chu bit his finger subconsciously and asked, "Do you wash your face before construction and rub it hard until your face turns red?"
"No." Su Xia said, "Why do you ask that?"
"You can't build a ship if you have a dark face. Wash your face to get rid of the dark spots. Rub your face hard to make it red, and you can definitely build a ship." Shang Chu said, "This is the most common construction style - wash your face, don't you know it?"
"I don't know." Su Xia said, "What's this about face washing flow? Isn't this just superstition?"
"Superstition is superstition." Shang Chu shrugged and said, "It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Anyway, it's just to let you wash your face. You don't need to spend a penny."
"I see." Su Xia said, "I don't have it anyway. I never wash my face...or rather, I never wash my face before construction."
"So," Shang Chu said, "Do you look at the window period before building? It is said that the ship girls released in each time period are the same, and they always appear in groups... This is not superstition. We have organized and tried it before. Many people built together, and everyone produced a destroyer."
"Destroyers are the most common." Su Xia said, "Isn't it normal for everyone to build a destroyer together?"
"I don't want to explain it to you. It won't be clear in one go." Shang Chu said, "Anyway, since you can say that, I can be sure that you don't look at the window period."
"No." Su Xia said. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard such a term in the game - window period.
"Then did you watch "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Imperial Palace" or the movie "Das Boot" or "Chasing Bismarck" before building it?" Shang Chu said, "It is said that after watching those movies, it is easy to build a Lion, U96 or Bismarck."
"No." Su Xia said, "I may have read and memorized "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" in middle school and high school, but I have never read "Das Haussmann" and "The Chase of Bismarck"."
"Nothing..." Shang Chu muttered to himself and suddenly raised his head, "Women's clothing, has Admiral Su ever worn women's clothing?"
"No." Su Xia said affirmatively, "Of course not, I have never worn women's clothes, let alone women's clothing."
"Speaking of which," Su Xia said, "I remember I said it a long time ago, I never do anything special before building... If I had built in women's clothing, I would have told you a long time ago."
"Who knows if wearing women's clothes is a common thing for you." Shang Chu said.
Su Xia stared at Shang Chu.
"Just kidding." Shang Chu said quickly, then leaned back in his chair, "I really don't understand what construction style you have, or you don't have any style at all."
"Yes, I haven't asked yet. Let me ask." Shang Chu said, "How many times do you build a ship girl on average?"
Su Xia thought for a moment. In the game, there is a ship every time a construction is carried out, but it is not the case here. For him, the effective construction is the one that locks the ship.
"Let me put it this way." Su Xia hesitated, "When I built Lyon before, there were several other ship girls, about one or two hundred times."
"One or two hundred times?" Shang Chu asked, she suspected she had heard wrong.
"Yes, one or two hundred times." Su Xia said, "It took so many times to build it. It's not considered good luck."
"Wait." Shang Chu said, "I just want to ask, where do you get so many resources for one or two hundred constructions?"
"I have more resources." Su Xia said.
"How much more is more?" Shang Chu asked.
Su Xia was about to speak when Shang Chu raised his hand and said, "Don't speak."
"Um?"
"I know what school you belong to." Shang Chu said.
"What school?" Su Xia asked curiously.
Shang Chu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
