Chapter 561 Expedition
That's it for the Engineering Bureau, just leave everything to Yubari.
The exercise was still led by the Victory, Aurora and Zeppelin. There were only so many people taking part in the exercise, with no increase or decrease. Considering that combining work and rest would achieve twice the result with half the effort, the exercise was conducted three times a day, five days a week, with two days of rest time left, and the exercise was carried out in an orderly manner.
Expeditions have different missions, different rewards, and different mission times. Some difficult expeditions take several days, while some simple and easy expeditions only take one or two days to complete. Today, an expedition team has returned.
It was 11 o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining brightly. Su Xia was sitting in the office reading a book, still one about battleships, but more deeply immersed in it. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and looked in the direction of the sound. The office door was not closed and a girl with orange hair and a ponytail was standing by the door. She was the captain of one of the many expeditions sent out by the garrison - Jinqu.
Enterprise, the second ship of the Royal Navy's Emerald-class light cruiser.
There is no noteworthy record in history. If you must say, it is the second ship, but the construction and launching time are earlier than the older one, so the seniority is a mystery. In fact, the order of warships is generally determined by the order of orders, so there are also cases where the order is placed later but the construction starts earlier.
In history, she had the task of escorting gold bars just like her sister Emerald, but there is no gold box in the game, so there are fewer players. She has transformation, and her skills are OK. She can suppress small ships, but her survival is worrying. Since light cruisers are a useless ship, there is Helena when there are occasional occasions when light cruisers are needed, but she has no sense of existence.
Su Xia remembered Jinqu, and also remembered the reason why she wanted to join the expedition, mainly because she was bored and wanted to find something to do. He looked at the girl with orange hair and ponytail and said, "Jinqu is back."
"I'm back." Jinqi walked into the office, looking around as if it was his first time in the office, "I'm here to report on my work."
"Just got back?" Even a ship girl would get tired, especially mentally. It was also for this reason that a ship girl could not sail on the sea for ten days, a half month or even longer like a real warship. The vast ocean required even many garrisons. Su Xia found that Jinqi's eyes were haggard, his bangs were messy, and the big hair tied up was crooked, and he looked exhausted.
"Yeah." Jinqu said, "I just came back and came here right away."
"Where are the others?" Su Xia asked. An expedition team requires more than one person . Most of them require several people. The more people there are, the more likely it is to be successful.
"I asked them to go and rest first." Jinqu was afraid that Suxia would think they didn't take him seriously. Suxia felt that he had changed, but some deep-rooted images were difficult to change. She said carefully, "I can do the report alone. I know everything the admiral wants to ask."
"That's not what I meant..." Su Xia said, "I meant that everyone went to rest, why don't you go?"
"The report is not important. It is just for future use. It doesn't matter when you submit it... It can be submitted in the afternoon or tomorrow." Su Xia smiled and nodded at Jinqin. "You have worked hard on the expedition. Resting is the most important thing now."
"It's okay." Jinqu said. Most expedition missions are relatively easy. Of course, that's compared to an attack. In an attack, one could get hurt if one is not careful. An expedition is just busy running around. It's not easy in any case, but it's not so easy that one can't even make a report.
"It does matter." Su Xia said emotionally, "Industry is my ship girl, I don't want to see it suffer so much."
"Huh?" Jinqi was a little confused.
"Okay, Jinqu, go and have a rest." Su Xia said, "Take a bath in the big bathhouse and change into dry clothes... It will be lunch time soon, so it doesn't matter if you go there early. Eat something and then sit for a while. Don't go to bed right after eating, it's not good for your health. Finally, have a good rest."
"Go ahead." Su Xia waved at Jinqu, "This is the admiral's order - have a good rest."
Jinqu walked away in a daze, and even when he walked out of the office and onto the stairs, he was still doubting whether that person was really their admiral. He had heard that the admiral's personality had changed drastically, but he had never expected that he would become like this.
Although she had her own secretary ship office, Enterprise would never go back unless there was something going on, and would stay in the admiral's office. Even if she became a secretary ship, she could not be careless, and learning never stopped. Su Xia was learning, and Enterprise was also learning. She did not speak until stood up from the sofa after Jinqi left the office.
"I finally understand." Qiye held the teapot and poured black tea into Su Xia's cup.
"Know what?" Su Xia picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. This was the taste.
"I never understood it before... As a secretary ship, I work with the admiral every day. It's normal to fall in love with the admiral after a long time. Why do I also like the admiral during the expedition..." Enterprise nodded, "So that's how it is. The care from the admiral after the expedition makes me like him."
"Then," Enterprise looked at the teapot, which had little tea left, and prepared to brew a new one, "the longer the expedition, or the greater the success, the easier it is for the admiral to have a favorable impression of him... The longer the expedition, or the greater the success, the more attention he will get from the admiral. In this case, the favorable impression will come naturally."
Enterprise laughed and said, "The reason why attacking can improve favorability is similar. Being the flagship and defeating the deep-sea fleet will make it easier for the admiral to have a good impression of him, because being the flagship and defeating the deep-sea fleet will make it easier for the admiral to care about you and praise you."
Su Xia glanced at Enterprise and said nothing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Enterprise has been a secretary ship for so long. How much do you think of me now?"
Enterprise snapped her fingers, and she smiled, "Two hundred percent."
"How much do you think of Enterprise?" Enterprise asked.
"How many are there..." Su Xia said, "Because I want to be with the company, I wish I could stay in the office all the time."
"It's not true that he wants to stay in the office all the time because he wants to be with Enterprise." Enterprise laughed. "The real reason why the admiral wants to stay in the office all the time must be that he is afraid of getting off work, because getting off work means he has to accompany everyone, and... I heard that the admiral stayed at the Su faction last night..."
"How come you've become so gossipy in the enterprise?" Su Xia said, "Don't believe in rumors or spread them."
The enterprise couldn't stop laughing.
Enterprise made some tea and asked, "Admiral, why don't you go check on us? Show some concern for us and improve our impressions."
"Take out the last sentence. " Su Xia said, "What everyone needs now is rest, not care."
"The admiral's care is more useful than any rest," said Enterprise.
Su Xia thought about it and felt that Qiye's words really made sense. Then she shook her head and said, "Everyone should take a bath in the big bath now, and then we can care about it at lunch time."
"Even if people are taking a bath in a large public bath, they can still show concern," the company said.
"That's really not okay." Su Xia said, "That's too rogue."
"Everyone comes back from an attack injured, and the admiral helps rub everyone's backs. How come?" Enterprise asked, "Isn't that rogue?"
Su Xia was speechless and still didn't plan to go to the big bathhouse to care about everyone. When I played games before, the game settings were so unpredictable, but now it's different.
Su Xia still left the office, mainly to go to the cafeteria to remind Yixian that everyone had worked hard after the expedition, and she could prepare some of their favorite food for everyone.
This afternoon, Su Xia found an opportunity to take good care of everyone and had lunch with everyone.
"Omaha, I remember you used to be a projectionist in a movie theater, right?" Su Xia was a little confused. Was Ohama now a projectionist in the garrison movie theater, or did she once have such a set of costumes - the movie projectionist gave him a misunderstanding.
USS Omaha, the first ship of the Omaha-class light cruiser.
Historically, the Omaha class was designed to "save tonnage", which proved to be a bad design in use. At the beginning of World War II, it was mainly used for training and neutrality patrols. After the Pearl Harbor incident, it was still left in the South Atlantic to continue patrol missions until the late war when it finally had some work.
The Ohama in the game has a transformation, but it is of no use other than adding one to the illustrated guide.
"I'm a projectionist," Omaha said dejectedly. "I don't even have two viewers a day. Even when I deliver popcorn and Coke, there are still no viewers."
"Is it so miserable?" Su Xia asked, "Why?"
"I don't know... because there are no new movie sources?" It's not a big movie. There is no way to get new movie sources. We can only play old movies or movies made by the garrison for its own entertainment. Omaha's eyes lit up as he said, "As long as the admiral comes to our cinema to watch movies more often, there will definitely be more customers."
"I'll consider it." Su Xia said perfunctorily.
"Okay," Omaha said, "I'll work part-time in the theater, too."
Su Xia thought of the screening room in the game, which can be used to view picture books, review plots, etc. The current screening room is considered part of the archives.
"I still want to be a sheriff," Omaha continued, "patrolling everywhere every day and checking for prohibited items."
Listening to Omaha's talk, Su Xia recalled that the Omaha had captured a German cargo ship flying the American flag near the equator, and began his career as a "smuggling detachment" - after the United States entered the war, it had long intercepted cargo ships in the South Atlantic that tried to transport rubber and other materials to Germany. After finally getting a decent job, he started working as a "smuggling detachment" again.
Cushing said. Cushing also participated in the expedition. At the dinner table, Su Xia stroked the blonde girl's head countless times.
"Whatever Cushing wants, the admiral will satisfy Cushing." God knows Su Xia cares so much and makes so many promises. He wants to reward the girl simply because she participated in the expedition, or he has other intentions.
"I want the Admiral to sleep with me." Ma Han interrupted, then put his arms around Su Xia's waist.
"Let me go." Su Xia pushed Ma Han away. Compared to Cushing, he was an innocent and cute child. He was afraid of that guy. He was a primary school student, but he was very erotic. This eroticism also included her favorite way of burying her head in everyone's chest. Of course, she had to think twice when facing Desmoine because it might cause suffocation.
The pink-haired loli is Smith, a Mahan-class destroyer and the sister of Mahan and Cushing. She received six battle stars throughout World War II, but has little presence in the game. At this moment, she looks at Su Xia and Mahan with envy.
"Suffolk, what are you looking at?" The blue-haired girl was the last one to arrive at the cafeteria. She was holding her plate and looking at them, ready to go somewhere else to eat, but was stopped by Su Xia, who noticed that she was staring at the corner of the wall.
Suffolk, the fifth ship of the Kent-class heavy cruiser.
In history, Suffolk once participated in the pursuit and destruction of the Bismarck, using radar to track the Bismarck during the naval battle and briefly firing. After that, he mainly performed escort missions and finally ushered in the victory of the war in the Far East Fleet.
Suffolk in the game is also nicknamed Quint because his portrait looks a lot like Quincy and Kent. Although his strength is not very good, he is very difficult to obtain and his drop rate is very touching, so he has a name among the players. Even though it is easier to get now than before, it is still not easy to get.
Suffolk also participated in the expedition. Although she was a heavy cruiser, her training level was relatively low, so she could only be a team member and not a captain.
"Gecko," Suffolk said.
"Where did the gecko come from?" Su Xia looked in the direction Suffolk was looking, but didn't see any gecko at all.
"Next to the table leg." Suffolk pointed.
Su Xia searched for a long time and finally found the gecko. She said, "I saw it. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it... Suffolk has really good eyes."
Suffolk snorted. She was very confident in her eyes. She had a new radar.
"Where, there is a gecko." Ma Han lay on Su Xia's back. Her movements were always so unbridled.
When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Su Xia went to the warehouse to look at the resources everyone had brought back. Seeing that the resources were about to drop below one million, she was anxious and arranged another expedition team to go on an expedition. Games are games, and reality is reality. We can't do things like keeping an expedition team working all year round.
Apart from the expedition's return, nothing happened that day. That night, Su Xia stayed in Wichita's room for no particular reason, except that she ran into Wichita when she was getting dinner and got entangled with her. I have to say that Wichita is really open-minded.
The next day, two more expedition teams returned, one early in the morning and the other near noon. Su Xia had already told everyone not to report to him immediately after returning to the garrison, but to wait until they had rested enough before reporting.
In the afternoon, something important yet unimportant happened. Shang Chu called and said that someone wanted to contact her through her and wanted to buy or exchange some equipment from the garrison.
Su Xia was naturally happy to see such a thing happen.
For the next few days, nothing happened.
