Chapter 578: Making a Move
According to the news from the front line, the deep-sea battleship has been sunk, so there is no need to worry about the matter of the deep-sea battleship being known to everyone, because even if they know it, they will not panic about it. At most, they will complain a few words about why they were not told earlier, so that they can't have a good Halloween.
Su Xia sat in the coffee shop of the commercial building and looked at her phone. She no longer had to face a group of lolis and girls who asked her why everyone suddenly disappeared and hesitated. She waited slowly for Helena and St. Louis to come back with the three little ones.
After waiting for about half an hour, Su Xia finally saw some people. U1405 and U1206 could no longer wear their original costumes of ghosts and flashing ghosts, so they changed into ordinary cute skirts. U-14 was a cute little girl with slightly wet black hair. She wore a small skirt and a hair band on her wrist. She looked at him strangely.
"Admiral, we are back." U1405 saw Su Xia and said loudly, completely unaware of what he had done wrong.
Su Xia looked at the two little girls without saying anything, just watching.
"Admiral, why are you looking at me?" U1405 asked, "Isn't my little skirt so cute?"
U1206 was a fool, she didn't know why Su Xia was staring at them, and after listening to U1405's words, she lowered her head to check the clothes she was wearing. Anyway, she thought it was cute, and wondered what the admiral thought... The little leather boots seemed a little dirty.
Su Xia was somewhat helpless, because the two little girls had no idea why he was looking at them. They had no idea what they had done wrong, and staring at them would not put any pressure on them. He said helplessly, "I'm not looking at your little skirt... I want to say that you guys still remember to come back."
"Helena..." U1405 said, but she realized something was wrong. Helena was standing not far away watching them, so she quickly changed her words, "Sister Helena and Sister St. Louis insisted that we come back, otherwise..."
"What else?" Su Xia felt a little overwhelmed. "I remember the garrison has a rule that no one is allowed to leave the garrison without permission."
The management of the garrison can refer to the military to a certain extent. Just as soldiers cannot leave their posts without permission, the ship girls cannot leave the garrison without permission. The ship girls seem to have nothing to do every day, but in fact they are on standby all the time, ready to attack and sink those deep-sea ship girls that suddenly appear.
"Is there such a rule? Why don't I know about it?" U1405 tilted her head and said, looking and speaking in a way that made it seem as if Su Xia would be angry. "If no one is allowed to leave the garrison, isn't that the same as imprisonment?"
"What do you mean by imprisonment..." Su Xia felt a little breathless. "It's just that you are not allowed to leave the garrison without permission. It doesn't say that you are not allowed to leave. Just register and report. Whether you want to go out to play or buy things, you can... Those are not the main points. The main point is that it is absolutely not allowed to attack without permission."
U-14 felt a little uncomfortable listening to Su Xia's words, because she was the one who called U1405 and U1206 out.
Su Xia just glanced at U-14 and did not comment on her restless and embarrassed look.
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders." Su Xia stared at the two young girls. "You will be brought to the military court for leaving your post without permission."
"Didn't you disappear every day before?" U1405 asked back.
Su Xia had no way to explain that he only played games before. It was okay in college, as a layman with no plans for the future, he had plenty of time to play games. After becoming a social animal at work, it was good to be able to find time to log in to the game every day.
"If a court-martial worked," U1405 muttered, "you would have been court-martialed this morning."
Su Xia gritted his teeth and thought about what he had done in the past. He often disappeared after turning off the game and harassed the ship girls by clicking on the screen. Those operations were completely due to the gameplay and bullying and exploiting the ship girls. There was nothing wrong with going to a military court.
"Why are you silent?" U1405 said, "I was right."
Su Xia didn't say anything, just leaned back in the chair, was silent for a moment and said: "I say, you, why do you think I didn't let you go out casually?"
“I don’t know.” U1405 shook his head.
"Rules are one aspect." Su Xia paused and said, "Besides the rules... in the end it's all because I'm worried about you, worried about your safety. When I think about the dangers you might encounter when you go out, I'm so worried that I can't do anything, I can't work, and I can't even eat."
"We are very strong." U1405 said proudly, "My training level is full... much higher than that idiot U1206. Besides, it is night now, even if we encounter a deep-sea destroyer or a light cruiser, they can't catch us."
"You also know that your level is much higher than U1206, which means that U1206's level is much lower than yours. You only consider yourself and not U1206?" Su Xia said, "Even so, it's better to be safe than sorry. Even at night, you may be attacked and directly destroyed. "
"Honestly." Su Xia said emotionally, "I can't imagine what would happen if you were injured when you went out. What if... To put it bluntly, I can tell you now, otherwise I'm afraid of the crow's mouth. What if the ship sank? I might never get over the psychological trauma for the rest of my life."
"But there are deep-sea battleships..." said U1405.
"I know." Su Xia interrupted U1405, "I know why the ship girls appeared. In order to defeat the deep-sea ship girls, no ship girl is afraid to attack or fight. Even if they know they can't win in the end, they are not afraid of being defeated and sunk."
"So, please, think about it," Su Xia said, "You fight for glory on the battlefield, but also think about those people waiting for you in the garrison. You are not alone, you have the admiral, the one who loves you the most, he is waiting for you in the garrison and is worried about you."
Su Xia stared at U1405 after she finished speaking. U1405 was a foul-mouthed little girl, but that didn't mean she was a heartless fool. However, she still refused to admit defeat: "The Admiral is so worried about us."
"Of course, my ship girl, if I'm not worried, then who will be worried?" Su Xia touched the little girl's head and ruffled her hair.
U1405 was completely speechless this time: "I, we got it. Next time, we will never run out without permission."
"That's it," Su Xia said, "You can go play now."
Su Xia looked at U-14. He had already learned about U-14's situation through Ella. She came from the Ship Girl Division next to the Naval Base. The director of that Ship Girl Division was New Orleans. She certainly would not let a young girl attack. In short, she was just another disobedient child.
"U-14." Su Xia shouted.
"Yeah." U-14 lowered his head.
Even if she had acted on her own, the little girl was still a sensible child. Even if Su Xia was not her so-and-so, he was an adult, the admiral of U1405 and U1206, the admiral of so many powerful ship girls, he could only listen to what they said and dared not say anything.
"I contacted your Ship Girl Division... New Orleans told me everything." Su Xia said, "Even if you are not my Ship Girl, I still have to say that going out without permission is not allowed. It is wrong behavior... Do you know how much New Orleans is worried about you?"
"I was wrong." U-14 did not resist at all.
"It's good that you know you're wrong." Su Xia said with relief, "But if you know you're wrong, you have to correct it. Don't just say I know I'm wrong but I still have to do it. Don't make the same mistake again next time."
"All right."
"I've already told New Orleans that you're fine. Tell her not to worry." Su Xia looked toward the window of the café. Outside the window was the dark garrison. "It's already so late today... an attack is an attack, and normal times are normal times. We can't let you leave like that. U-14, you should stay at our garrison tonight."
Su Xia suddenly laughed and said, "Anyway, New Orleans is furious with your behavior. You can just wait to be severely punished by her when you return... Or you can stay in our garrison for a few more days and wait until she calms down before returning."
"It's almost eleven o'clock now. U-14, do you want to rest? I'll have someone prepare a room for you." Su Xia said, "Otherwise, play some more. Today is a rare Halloween... If you don't give me candy, I'll make trouble."
U-14 looked at Su Xia and blinked. She inexplicably felt that this admiral was very gentle.
"Speaking of which, U-14 is the U-14 of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not the U-14 of the Wolf Pack," Su Xia asked.
"Yeah." U-14 nodded, her eyes lit up. It was rare for someone to recognize her.
"It's the Curie, the former Kirisame-class submarine." Su Xia said casually. It's different if you do your homework. "Austro-Hungarian shipgirls are really rare... For so long, apart from U-14, I only know of one shipgirl belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire."
"Who?" U-14 asked curiously. She had never seen any Austro-Hungarian ship girl other than herself.
"Join forces." Su Xia said.
"Ah, I know." U-14 said excitedly.
"Otherwise, I'll take U-14 to see the united forces." Su Xia said, "I think she must want to see U-14 very much."
Next, Su Xia took U-14 away and found the flaxen hair with double spiral curls at the Challenge Dark Cuisine event hosted by Atlanta. The girl looked very majestic, in fact, she could also be called a loli, and was a rival of Veneto.
United Force, the first United Force-class dreadnought.
The Union Power class was the first batch of dreadnoughts built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its most striking feature was its four triple-mounted turrets. Although it was the first class of battleships in the world equipped with triple-mounted main guns, its performance was mediocre otherwise.
The United Force in the game has no transformation and no skills, and its attributes as a dreadnought are really average. Since there is no record of war in history, it can even be said that it has done nothing. As a result, even if the illustration has a little bit of a story, it is not taken seriously by players.
"United Force, just look at it and don't try it?" Su Xia looked at the United Force and saw those dark dishes. "They just look a little bad, but there is absolutely no problem with the taste."
The combined forces turned to Su Xia and said, "Has the Admiral eaten yet?"
"No." Su Xia smiled.
"I'll try, and you try too?" Su Xia asked, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Look who this is. Do you recognize him?"
The combined forces looked at the black-haired little girl following Su Xia.
Su Xia did not contact the joint forces in advance, and was a little worried that the joint forces would not recognize him, so he took the initiative to introduce: "This is U-14."
"U-14... the U14 from the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" The United Forces looked at U-14. As a lone woman in the garrison, she was looking forward to meeting her sister from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even if she was a scumbag like Ji Ling.
Su Xia explained what happened and then patted United Force on the shoulder.
The united forces glanced at Su Xia sideways.
Su Xia looked at the place not far away and said, "Speaking of which, U-14 belongs to the French system, so they should be very familiar with the French system."
"Hmm?" U-14 responded. She didn't know if she was familiar with him.
"Fantasy, Horror... You may not be that familiar with them, but you should be more familiar with Joan of Arc and Lyon..." Su Xia nodded, "You must know Surcouf."
The united forces suddenly coughed.
"Okay, that's it. The United Forces seems to want to talk to U-14." Su Xia smiled, "I'll take U-14 to meet Shukuf sometime."
Su Xia left quickly and returned to the cafe.
Helena was still in the coffee shop. Seeing Su Xia walk in, she said, "Admiral, you're back so soon?"
"What else?" Su Xia asked back.
"Spend more time with the U-14s?" Helena asked, thinking that someone could say such shameful words. Even the U-14s who were not involved in the conversation would seem to be very moved and would envy U1405 and U1206... Wait, could it be that he has other intentions?
"It's almost enough." Su Xia said, "Too much is as bad as too little."
As a grown man and an admiral, it is easy to put pressure on people by always accompanying a young girl.
"Where's Ella?" Su Xia asked.
"What does the admiral want to see her about?" Helena asked.
"A lot of things." Su Xia said.
There are many reasons why Su Xia looked for Ella. First of all, he needed Ella to help him contact the KanColle branch where U-14 originally worked to discuss U-14's affairs. Anyway, he had his eyes on U-14, and of course, he might force her to stay if he really couldn't get her. In addition, that deep-sea battleship was quite powerful, even if it was not as good as those serious deep-sea flagships, it was not far away, so he must get some equipment rewards.
Su Xia found Ella.
Maybe it was because she almost ruined the relationship between U1405 and U1206, but Ella was particularly easy to talk to this time. She gave Su Xia whatever she wanted, so much so that Su Xia felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to use this to threaten others, so she decided to negotiate with Zidane.
Those who attacked returned quickly. No one was injured except for one or two people who were scratched. After all, several fleets attacked a deep-sea battleship. It was just a scratch, so there was no need to repair it immediately. We could wait until we had time. Let's have fun today on Halloween.
As an admiral, Su Xia certainly cannot stay away from Halloween. In any case, due to the appearance of the deep-sea battleship, he has been seen by everyone walking around in the headless knight's equipment. It is too difficult to do something mysterious to scare people. But just taking everyone for a motorcycle ride is also good.
Next, Su Xia took everyone on a motorcycle ride and accompanied everyone to explore the garrison in search of candy jars, and they played until late at night.
It is now one o'clock in the morning, night.
