Chapter 595: The Victory is Hard to Arrive
Su Xia knows how to play chess. He liked it very much when he was in junior high school, mainly because he thought playing chess was very cool at that time. He never touched it again after entering high school. Anyway, he still knows the rules. He has been here for so long and has played a few games with everyone, but that's all.
Delhi herself has no interest in this and is more willing to be Hood's follower. In order to keep up with Hood's pursuit of cultured and elegant aristocratic daughter's personality, she has studied classical literature, philosophy, etc., and chess is naturally included. Not to mention being a national player, it is no difficulty for her to crush Su Xia.
Seeing that Su Xia was losing ground to Delhi's men, he lost one chariot and one knight each, and three guards. In contrast, Delhi only lost one chariot and two guards. Delhi was already sure of victory. Victory hesitated and reminded: "Admiral, didn't you see Delhi's chariot?"
"Car, what car?" Su Xia asked.
"The Victory can't be taught," said Derry.
"Auntie Victory." Xiao Luo called out. She was an English lady who preferred quietness over playing around with the Fireflies and the others. She liked being with Nelson and Hood. Nelson and Hood would definitely watch Su Xia and Delhi play chess. It was not too late yet, and she hadn't gone to bed yet. "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word."
Victory looked at Xiao Luo, and saw only the innocent eyes of the blonde girl, twinkling. She was sure that she didn't mean it, so she couldn't get angry at this little British princess. The annoying thing was that no matter how many times she corrected her, she couldn't change her habit of calling her "Auntie". This is the case of "the bad company makes the bad bad", Xiao Zhai is really hateful.
Xiao Zhai is a primary school student, she can't control her. There must be a reason why Xiao Zhai likes to call her "Auntie". Young girls don't know anything, so it must be from the Germans' words and deeds. Thinking of this, Victory made up her mind to teach L20, the German ship, a lesson tomorrow.
All in all, Victory had no choice but to shut up.
Every profession has its specialties. Victory can be an instructor and an admiral's assistant, but she is not so good at some aspects.
"Go ahead." King George V of England was an old hand, and he patted the Duke of York on the shoulder who was watching.
"Going for what?" The Duke of York had no idea what her sister wanted her to do.
"You can play chess, right? You should be able to see it." King George V looked at Su Xia, who was lost in thought because of Victory's words. He saw Delhi's rook, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. "You can teach the admiral."
"A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word." The Duke of York is a pedantic knight.
"You are not a gentleman." King George V of England said. As a king, she was very good at thick black art. A little word game could not faze her at all. If necessary, it would be okay to break her promise and gain profit.
"Knights are also gentlemen." The Duke of York said stubbornly.
"Why are you so troublesome..." King George V of England pushed the Duke of York.
The Duke of York was not prepared and was pushed by King George V of England to stand next to the chessboard.
"What's the matter, Duke of York?" Su Xia said.
"No, no." The Duke of York noticed that King George V was staring at her, and hesitantly said, "It's just a soldier, I'll give him up... Admiral, don't just defend blindly. If you fall into the passive position, you will definitely lose."
Just now, Victory interrupted and was scolded by Xiao Luo, and now Su Xia didn't expect that someone else would speak up.
"A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word." Xiao Luo was not targeting the Victory. In her eyes, everyone was the same. She pointed at the Duke of York, "York...Sister Duke of York is not a gentleman." York and the Duke of York are often confused.
The Duke of York didn't know what to do.
King George V of England stood up, patted Little Luo's head, and said with a smile: "The Duke of York is not a gentleman. She is a girl... and she is a knight. It is impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the difficulties of the lord."
"Oh." Xiao Luo nodded. Her little brain was unable to understand such a complicated relationship.
"Can the Duke of York continue, please?" asked King George V of England.
"Okay." Xiao Luo said.
Derry wanted to speak, but saw King George V looking at her. It was true that Hood was not the flagship of the Royal Navy, but just a mascot. The entire British system was in the control of King George V... In fact, a large part of power was still in the hands of the Prince of Wales and the lion. The problem was that the Prince of Wales was the second sister of the Duke of York, and the lion could not help her for this matter, so he decisively shut up.
"The Duke of York, please help the admiral. As a knight, you must not allow your lord to fail." said King George V of England.
So, the Duke of York spoke up and taught Su Xia how to play chess.
There is no doubt that Su Xia is a shameless guy and will definitely not refuse. He doesn't want to lose to Delhi.
Victory saw this scene of a sister helping her sister, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She had no sisters.
It is better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. What if no one helps? Shengli is not ready to give up. It is just a small setback. Hasn't she encountered enough setbacks in these years?
Victory stood nearby, watching Delhi, Suxia, and the Duke of York playing a game of chess. In the end, Delhi was the better player, mainly because of the huge advantage Delhi had accumulated in the early stages. She said, "I haven't played chess for a long time. I'll give it a try... Delhi asked me to play a game with the admiral."
Lion crossed her arms and glanced at the vanguard. This idiot didn't know how to work hard at a critical moment and a great opportunity. It was a headache. What was the point of playing with those lolita? But she was a good sister, and a good sister helped her sister. She said, "Victory wants to play chess with the admiral?"
"I haven't played for a long time." Victory explained. She was embarrassed to say that she wanted to play chess with the admiral.
"Aren't you bullying the admiral with your level?" Lion asked, "Admiral, do you want to play chess with the Victory? Or find an opponent of equal strength."
Suxia people value self-knowledge. Chess is OK, Gobang is the best, but chess is really difficult, otherwise we can't always rely on the Duke of York. He smiled and said, "That must be an evenly matched opponent."
"If Victory wants to play chess so much, then play with Delhi. You two are about the same level." Lion said. Delhi is a skilled player, while Victory is not much better. Anyway, he is not as good as everyone else. "Admiral... Vanguard, come over here."
When the vanguard heard the lion calling her, she put down M1 and walked to the lion, asking in confusion, "Why did the lion call me?"
"Play chess with the admiral." said the lion.
"I don't know how to play chess." The vanguard replied.
The historical Vanguard's power part came from the main engine originally ordered for the Lion, and all eight main guns came from old ships of the First World War. Therefore, its firepower was criticized by later generations as "installing grandma's dentures on a new battleship", as the new ship was just a bunch of second-hand goods.
In this way, the vanguard of the ship girl is never a noble lady, or even a knight, but a pitiful scapegoat. It can be understood as a sister who is poor and can only wear her sister's clothes. She only looks good. If she doesn't have new clothes, how can she learn to play chess?
When Su Xia heard Qianwei's words, he was worried about finding a novice as an opponent, so he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Qianwei, it's you, let's play chess. You can't refuse."
Qianwei sat opposite Su Xia in a daze.
Lion smiled and said, "Admiral, please don't bully the vanguard."
"Of course." Su Xia said.
Victory sat aside, waiting for the maid Counterattack to bring a new chessboard. Seeing that Su Xia and Counterattack had already started playing chess, her eyes were deep. She just wanted to play chess with the admiral, not to play chess.
Victory looked at Delhi. This girl Delhi really wanted to play chess. While waiting to counterattack and get the chess and cards, she also ran to watch the admiral and the vanguard play chess... It didn't seem so. She looked at the admiral from time to time. It seemed like a girl with sexual thoughts.
Su Xia played chess with Qianwei. Since Qianwei was a guy who was even weaker than him, even he could bully him . He had no interest in chess originally, but he didn't know what to do, so now he is very interested in it.
Su Xia was satisfied with his victory in battle.
"Avant-garde's level is not good enough, you need to keep working hard." Su Xia said pretentiously, leaning back in his chair.
"I've already told you I don't know how to play." Qianwei is a girl who is easy to bully, and she won't complain about Su Xia bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"The vanguard should step down and let's have someone with a higher level come in." Having won several games, Su Xia is now full of confidence.
"Let me do it." A crisp voice rang out.
Su Xia saw a pretty girl with short gray hair and wearing a black dress stand up from her seat.
Sailor Yagur, the ninth ship of the Dido-class light cruiser.
The experience of the Yagur sailor in history is just like her name, her tracks are all over the East and West. In the early stage of the war, she mainly fought in the Atlantic, and finally participated in the Normandy Operation and the Far East Operation.
The Yagur sailor in the game has not been modified, its attributes are not very good, and the skill triggering conditions are a bit harsh. In general, it is mediocre. The light cruiser is useless and basically has no chance to attack.
The fact that the character illustrations are quite beautiful is an advantage, but as long as the character illustrations are beautiful, that’s enough.
Su Xia looked at the mechanical arms and legs of the Yagur sailor and thought that the reason why she was treated so well was probably because in history, the Yagur sailor was once struck by a submarine torpedo, which caused the bow and stern of the ship to be blown off. The ship was shortened by 50 meters in an instant. The damage was so serious that the German authorities believed it had sunk, but she still survived.
"How good are the Yagur sailors?" Su Xia asked.
"It's okay." Sailor Yagur replied, moving his mechanical arm.
Su Xia was just confident, and had not been overwhelmed by the victory. He hesitated whether to agree to sailor Yagur. At this time, he heard York's voice: "Let me do it... Sailor Yagur, you are too rigid. If you accidentally win against the admiral, you will be bullied. I am best at playing chess with the leader."
"What does it mean to be the best at playing chess with the leader?" Su Xia asked.
"I must not defeat the leader, I must lose to him." York thought for a while and said, "I must not lose, I must have a fierce battle with the leader, and finally lose by a single move, which will give the leader the greatest sense of accomplishment."
"This is playing chess with the leader... I see. I got it." Su Xia nodded and said, "Then I can't play chess with you."
"Why?" York was dissatisfied. "I guarantee that the admiral will be happy to win."
"No reason." Su Xia said, "I'm not a leader."
"Isn't the admiral a leader?" York said.
"No... Although we are admirals and shipgirls, we just have different divisions of labor in the revolution." Su Xia said, "There is no high or low in work."
"Tsk!" York hissed rudely.
Su Xia looked around, suddenly laughed, and said, "Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, let's play chess."
"Aren't you being a bit shameless, Admiral?" York said. As we all know, ship girls may look like children but they may not be. For example, Claxton, Sigsby, and Ugolini all have more ulterior motives than the other, but Luo is different. She is a pure little girl.
Xiao Luo blinked and looked at Su Xia, and asked, "Admiral, do you want to play chess with me?"
"Yes." Su Xia said, "Don't worry, I will let Xiao Luo take the chess piece. Don't bully our lovely Xiao Luo."
He reached out and pinched the cute little girl's face, and couldn't let go until Nelson knocked her hand away.
"I want to play chess with the admiral, too." Xiao Luo said, " But it's already past ten o'clock, and I'm going to bed soon."
"It's already past ten o'clock..." Su Xia took out her cell phone and looked at it. She had to admit that time passed very quickly.
Shengli felt that this was a good opportunity that could not be missed, so she interrupted and said, "Xiaoluo is still a child, and usually goes to bed after ten o'clock."
"The Admiral will definitely stay at our British side tonight." Victory asked casually, "When will the Admiral go to bed?"
"When will I sleep..." Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure."
"I remember that the Victory basically goes to bed at this time." Su Xia looked at the Victory.
Victory said, his heart beating inexplicably.
"Victory is used to going to bed early." Su Xia shook her head and said, "I can't fall asleep that early anyway. I want to play for a while."
When Shengli heard Su Xia's answer, she was stunned. Is this a rejection?
Su Xia thought about it and said considerately: "If Victory wants to sleep, go to bed early. You don't have to accompany us."
Victory seemed to be about to speak but stopped himself, his chest heaving with his deep breaths.
Xiao Luo went to bed, and the other lolis also went to bed one after another. After Victory left, Su Xia was not in a hurry to go to bed. She played chess and cards with everyone until eleven or almost twelve o'clock.
King George V of England knew Susha's character. He found Susha privately and told her that her sister, the Duke of York, was ready and she would be disappointed if he did not stay in her room. Of course, the admiral's thoughts were the most important. Avant-garde was cute, and incomparable was also cute.
Su Xia had always coveted the Duke of York's long legs, and after hearing this, she decided to stay overnight in the Duke of York's room.
St. George is good at taming dragons, but I wonder how good the Duke of York is as a knight.
