Chapter 513 I also want to build
"Why are you silent?"
Su Xia was really interested in what school of construction he belonged to.
"What school do I belong to? How come I don't know."
Shang Chu looked at Su Xia deeply and said viciously: "Damn money flow."
"Superpower flow?" Su Xia was puzzled. "What superpower?"
"Money is money." Shang Chu stared at Su Xia, but she now knew that the admiral in front of her was a new admiral to some extent. He didn't know much about the common sense of the admiral and the ship girl circle, and was not as good as those trainee admirals. "Money is money, and ability is ability."
"So it's about the money ability. I get it." Su Xia smiled. He has been an admiral in this world for such a long time that he knows a lot of things. He didn't say anything stupid like "It's just one or two hundred rounds of construction, so it can be considered as money ability." He just never thought that one day he would be considered as having money ability.
"No matter if you are into washing your face, metaphysics, or cross-dressing... I am confident that I can do it all. At most, I can wash my face before construction, or watch a few movies... It's no problem to dance in advance, belly dancing or Yangko, and cross-dressing is even easier for me..." Shang Chu sighed, "You really can't learn the ability to make money. Although facts have proved that the ability to make money school is more reliable than all other schools."
Shang Chu lay on the reception table, sniffing and thinking, no matter how others got their money, as the second generation of rich people or officials, their families have a lot of resources, or they earn a lot of resources through excellent management, her garrison has nothing.
There are only so many shipgirls, and they can barely put together one or two fleets. A fleet must be stationed at the garrison all year round in case of emergency. There are only a few people left who can be pulled out for expeditions. Due to the limited training level of everyone, they cannot go on expeditions with rich rewards. After working so hard for a long time, they can only get pitiful resources.
"Can I ask you something?" Shang Chu suddenly asked, "What kind of family do you come from, Admiral Su?" A family that can help a garrison develop must be a top-tier family with huge financial or personal connections. An ordinary wealthy or official family can provide very little help to a garrison.
"What kind of family do you think I come from?" Su Xia asked back.
"I can't tell." Shang Chu looked at Su Xia for a long time. The top second-generation rich also eat at roadside stalls. The richer the people, the more low-key they are. It is better to say that it is precisely because the rich do not care about how others look at them, and enjoy life as they please. They still wear cheap clothes and walk around in a pair of slippers.
"It's just an ordinary family." Su Xia said.
"Then can I ask you a question?" Shang Chu said, "How to operate a garrison?"
"It's not that I won't tell you. I don't know how to run a garrison either." Su Xia put down the red teacup. "I'm usually only responsible for combat, exercises, and expeditions in the garrison... Of course, construction is also included... I don't know how to put it. I can't explain it clearly all at once."
"Expedition." Shang Chu said , "There are only a few ways for a garrison to obtain resources. The main way is expedition, in addition to the monthly allocation from the Shipgirls Headquarters... It's the same for any admiral."
"You want to ask me how to arrange an expedition?" Su Xia said, "Try to choose an expedition with generous rewards. The main thing is to make choices in terms of expedition time, rewards, requirements, etc."
"I know this." Shang Chu said, "Anything else?"
"Try to get high-level ship girls to participate in the expedition as much as possible." Su Xia said, "That way the chances of success will be higher."
"What if there are no high-level ship girls?" Shang Chu said.
"Then level up well." Su Xia said, "Participate in more exercises and sorties, and your ship girl's level will naturally increase."
"Exercises are easy, but they can only be conducted a few times a day. Sorting out requires resources, and we don't have them." Shang Chu scratched his hair. "Destroyers are fine, as they consume less energy. Capital ships consume more energy, and if we carry out more sorties, including light aircraft carriers, we are more likely to lose aircraft. We simply don't have enough resources to consume them."
"The more expeditions we take, the more resources we will have." Su Xia thought for a while and said, but he always felt that something was not right.
Shang Chu was the first to discover the problem. He was too weak to complain and said, "Okay, that's it. Don't worry about this problem... Apart from getting as many high-level ship girls as possible to participate in the expedition, is there anything else?"
"Tianlong and Longtian are the best at expeditions." Su Xia said, "Let them be the expedition leaders as much as possible."
"I really don't know about that." Shang Chu immediately perked up and sat up straight. "What do you think of Tianlong and Longtian as expedition captains?"
"What do you mean..." Su Xia didn't know what special origins or experiences Tianlong and Longtian had in history, so that the Tianlong and Longtian in the game had the skills to increase the benefits of expeditions. "I don't know how to explain it either. Anyway, my Tianlong and Longtian are the best at expeditions, better than anyone else... They are just Tianlong and Longtian who have grown up and been transformed."
"It doesn't matter if I don't know why. As long as I know that they are good at expeditions... I've learned it, and there's no end to learning." Shang Chu nodded subconsciously, and suddenly slapped the table, "Wait, that's not right, I don't have Tianlong and Longtian, let alone transformation."
Su Xia noticed Shang Chu looking at him, shrugged and said, “Look, I’m useless, figure it out yourself.”
"I know it's useless." Shang Chu lay on the table again, then slowly raised his head and blinked his watery eyes. Who said that a queen can't act cute? "Anything else?"
"What else?" Su Xia said to herself, "It's just a long expedition. Don't stop."
"What do you mean by don't stop?" Shang Chu asked, "Shouldn't everyone be allowed to rest for a few days after each expedition before continuing the expedition... Do you mean that a new expedition should be arranged immediately after the expedition ends?"
"Uh..." Su Xia didn't know what to say. After all, his previous expedition method would be oppression now.
Shang Chu saw all of Su Xia's hesitations and thought that he knew everything. It must be the hateful capitalists who exploited the ship girl. At that time, he said with a fake smile: "Admiral Su's ship girl is really good. Hasn't she hung Admiral Su under the street lamp yet?"
Su Xia smiled awkwardly and said, "I remember saying before that I used to be pretty bad."
"That's more than terrible." Shang Chu was blunt. As a ship girl whose admiral loved her deeply, she hated bullying the most. She didn't mind showing her disgust, even though the other party had just taken good care of her in the transaction. At worst, they would not trade. "That's simply inhumane."
"I know, I know." Su Xia said, "Hasn't he changed now? A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."
Shang Chu snorted. After all, it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, and as an outsider, it was not good for him to interfere in the affairs of other people's garrison.
"Believe me." Su Xia said, "My current goal is to fill this port area with everyone's laughter."
"I hope so." Shang Chu said, "Anyway, if you don't do anything, it will provoke everyone to rebel, and you will be the one who suffers the consequences. It will have no impact on our garrison."
Shang Chu hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but say: "Once a person becomes an admiral, he can never get off the ship again. Being nice to the ship girls is also being nice to yourself... Let's not talk about these things. The ship girls are so cute and they love you deeply. Do you really have the heart to hurt them?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Xia said hurriedly.
Shang Chu opened his mouth, then closed it again, thought for a moment and said, "After observing you for the past few days, I found that your ship girl loves you and cares about you so much. You must have changed now, that's good... Speaking of which, I'm not related to you. We're just colleagues. I have no right to say anything about you."
"Speak, you can speak." Su Xia said, "Admiral Shang is speaking for my own good, otherwise just laugh it off."
"It's good that you know." Shang Chu turned his face away, "So do you have any other tips on the expedition?"
"Ah?" Su Xia was not used to Shang Chu's speed in changing the subject. "No more... Whether sending a high-level destroyer or a high-level main fleet, does it count as having no impact on the expedition's benefits?"
"I know that, too." Shang Chu said, "Anyway, as long as the expedition can be completed, it doesn't matter who we send."
"That's really all." Su Xia nodded affirmatively, and added, "That's all I know."
"Okay." Shang Chu said, "It's enough to know that Tianlong and Longtian are particularly good at expeditions... Even if there are no Tianlong and Longtian now, there will definitely be some in the future, and this information will be useful."
"We'll build a Tianlong and a Longtian when we get back... Light cruisers consume less energy and are easier to level up than battleships. Even our garrison can afford that amount of resources, and by then we'll have an expedition captain in our garrison. In the end, with more resources, we can build more, and with more construction, there will be ship girls on expeditions, and with more expeditions, there will be more resources. It's a virtuous cycle, and by then I'll be a big boss too." Shang Chu said with anticipation.
"Didn't you say you wanted to build a ship girl who's good at cooking?"
Su Xia asked: "Why did it become Tianlong and Longtian again?"
"I don't have enough resources to carry out one or two hundred constructions, but I still have enough for three or five constructions." Shang Chu said, "I've calculated that I will have one Yixian, one Fuso, and one wife Lexington, plus Tianlong and Longtian, for a total of five people for five constructions."
"Bless you in advance." Su Xia said.
"Whether it was that time or this time, your blessing to Admiral Su really has no sincerity at all." Shang Chu leaned back in his chair, his shoulders drooping. "Okay, I know it's difficult. The chance of success is one in a hundred million... Don't ask me how I calculated it. I'll ask if Long Tian and Long Tian can cook."
"I don't know." Su Xia said, "I only know that they are good at kendo and have good sword skills."
"As a Japanese, he must be good at cooking." Shang Chu said decisively.
"Who knows." Su Xia said, "I'll ask for you when I have time. Tianlong and Longtian are my maids now."
"You know how to have fun." Shang Chu said teasingly, "Two maids."
"Not bad." Su Xia waved her hand.
"Well, actually I don't expect to build any Tianlong or Longtian. I just want to build a random ship girl. It doesn't matter if it's a destroyer. I like destroyers the most." Shang Chu said that it is important for people to know themselves. She is not an African, but she is not a European either.
"I like destroyers the most, too." After Su Xia said this, he found that everyone was looking at him and waving their hands to indicate that they should not care.
Shang Chu didn't care about someone's terrible remarks. She said, "Regardless of whether we can build a ship girl or not, an admiral has to build a few times a month... Am I right?"
"Don't look at me." Indiana said, "We build it a few times a month, where do we get so many resources?"
"Admiral Su, how many times do you build in a month?" Shang Chu asked.
"As for me..." Su Xia said, "I haven't built for a long time."
"How long is a long time?" Shang Chu asked.
Su Xia replied: "Several months."
Shang Chu was surprised and said, "You are so cruel. You can stop it even if it hasn't been built for several months."
"Well," Su Xia said, "It's mainly because I've been busy lately, otherwise I would have liked to build it a few times."
"Build, build." Shang Chu said, "How can a commander not build?"
Su Xia was not to be provoked. He looked at his secretary ship Enterprise and said, "Enterprise, can I build it as many times as I want?"
"You can build it if you want, Admiral." Enterprise said, "but not too many."
"How much can't be too much?" Su Xia asked.
"No more than a hundred times," said the enterprise.
"One hundred times." Su Xia said, "Just barely enough."
"That's enough. One hundred times isn't too many, but it's not too few either." Enterprise said. Now that she is the secretary ship, she has to consider the garrison. "You gave Tianlong and Longtian a holiday. The garrison hasn't had any expeditions recently, so there's no income... See if you can prepare to start the expedition."
"It's almost time to start." Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "But we have to give generous rewards to those who participate in the expedition."
"Well, actually." Su Xia suddenly said, "We already have enough ship girls in the garrison... We don't need a hundred times, just build a few or a dozen times for fun."
"As long as the admiral is happy." Enterprise held his chin and looked at him.
"That's it." Su Xia suddenly shook her head, "Let's talk about it later."
The two discussed the construction issue.
Su Xia noticed that Shang Chu hadn't spoken, so she asked, "Shang Chu, why aren't you talking?"
"Say... why aren't you talking?" Shang Chu said, "What should we say? We're going to go back later."
"So fast?" Su Xia asked.
"I don't want to either." Shang Chu said.
Next, after lunch, Shang Chu left, saying that the admiral was the backbone of the garrison and it was not appropriate for him to stay outside for long.
Su Xia was sure that the situation was not that simple, but there was nothing she could do if Shang Chu insisted on leaving.
Otherwise, he would like her to stay in the garrison for a few more days. The reason is very simple - he has a very powerful garrison, but in a sense, he is a completely new admiral. Even if it is just chatting, chatting with Shang Chu can learn a lot of useful knowledge as an admiral.
