Chapter 166: Every Failure Makes You Smarter
If the admiral runs outside, the ship girl must follow him to avoid any accidents.
The naval base is an absolutely safe place. It may be an exaggeration to say it is absolutely safe. Anyway, when the admiral is in the naval base, there is no need for the ship girls to follow him. Otherwise, it will not be protection, but surveillance.
No matter how important the admiral is, following him is a bit too much.
Just do your own thing and pay more attention to the admiral when you find him. But for the hundreds of people in the garrison, they are scattered all over the garrison. If anyone sees the admiral, they will tell him in the group, and the admiral's movements will be revealed without any concealment.
The admiral went to the activity building, the admiral went to the commercial building, there is really nothing much to say about these, I just went to the group to talk about it.
The admiral has arrived at the cafeteria, and this must be said. London was in control of the cafeteria, and no one dared to approach it, so no one saw the admiral go to the cafeteria, and no one spoke up in the group, resulting in no one arriving in time to successfully rescue the admiral.
The izakaya is not a den of danger, so no one dares to approach it. The izakaya is right next to the square, and the location is quite good. In short, many people saw the admiral leave the office building, pass through the commercial building, walk through the square, and finally stand at the door of the izakaya.
The admiral looked like he was going to a pub.
The admiral is going to the izakaya, the same izakaya where Mutsu got him drunk and took him away a few days ago, a place with a criminal record. This is a big deal that must be announced in the group, and a voice must be spoken out.
Then.
By frequently attacking and earning a lot of bonuses, she doesn't have to spend money on a regular basis. For example, when people like Iowa buy expensive supercars and motorboats, and pay Bu Nie to help modify them, Lexington has a lot of money on her bank account, making her one of the richest women in the garrison.
Lexington was rich, so she often took her two sisters to Chinese restaurants. In fact, her two sisters, Constellation and Saratoga, were also busy and had as much money as she did. They often bought various snacks from Chinese restaurants and gave some to their elder sister.
All in all, I have eaten a lot of delicious Chinese food and various dim sum in Chinese restaurants in Lexington.
After two days of hard work, trying various dishes and snacks every day and comparing them, Lexington gave up eating in Chinese restaurants.
No matter how hard a mortal tries, he is no match for a genius. Can an ordinary person who reads 20 hours a day achieve more than Einstein? Not to mention that geniuses also work hard, and they may work harder than you.
Lexington figured it out. She was being too stubborn. There was no need for her to compete with Yixian in cooking. She should put her energy into other things.
Constellation and Saratoga also breathed a sigh of relief, not having to eat their sister's cooking anymore.
My sister's cooking is not bad, but eating it all the time is not a good idea. Especially since my sister not only asked them to eat, but also asked them to give their thoughts after eating, and where the shortcomings are compared with the cooking made by Yixian. There is no need to answer, there are shortcomings everywhere.
That evening, Lexington was not busy practicing cooking or anything like that. She sat on the sofa, and without her sister's reminder, she saw in the group that the admiral had gone to an izakaya alone.
"Brother-in-law went to the pub." Regardless of whether Lexington was holding her cell phone or not, Saratoga curled up on the sofa, ready to inform her sister of any messages she saw.
"I saw it," Lexington said.
"Someone saw him sitting with Akagi and having a good conversation," Saratoga continued.
"I understand." Lexington's face was as dark as water.
"What shall we do?" said Saratoga. "Shall we attack them now?"
Even though Akagi had been the flagship of the air brigade for such a long time and everyone had been together for a long time...it was precisely because of this that Saratoga was very unconvinced.
Lexington remained silent. What would she do if she were Akagi? Surprise attack on Pearl Harbor? Surprise attack on the admiral?
Lexington learned through the group that the admiral went to the pub, and of course everyone else knew about it. Among them, the heads of the major families, except for one who was ready to go to bed, did not know yet. It is said that going to bed early has many benefits, such as growing taller and older, and they have even thought about countermeasures.
And at this time in the izakaya.
Akagi was busy eating and had no idea what was going on in the group.
"Sister Akagi, Sister Akagi~"
Just because Akagi didn't know didn't mean no one else knew. Isuzu didn't have any extra thoughts. She saw everyone in the group talking about the admiral going to the izakaya and that they had to go to the izakaya to take the admiral back. Akagi seemed to be completely unaware of the situation, so she quickly found Akagi.
"Well, Isuzu...is there anything wrong?" Akagi asked.
"Nothing, it's just..." Isuzu hesitated. It would be hard to say it in front of the admiral. She waved her hand repeatedly, "Sister Akagi, come here."
Akagi left his seat and followed Isuzu to the bar.
It was far enough away, Isuzu said, "Sister Akagi, have you checked the group?"
"No." Akagi said, "Why, is there a problem? Did the deep-sea ship girl appear? There was no alarm."
"No." Isuzu said, "Someone in the group saw that the admiral came to our pub."
"So he saw it. Can't the admiral come to our pub?" Akagi asked.
"No, what I mean is that if everyone knows that the admiral has come to our pub, they will definitely come to disturb us. How can you launch a surprise attack and capture the admiral in one fell swoop, Sister Akagi?" Isuzu said, "Why don't we close the doors and windows of the pub now... We will stop the others, and Sister Akagi, you take the admiral away first."
Mutsu can't do it, only Akagi can, the big sister who single-handedly supports the Japanese system.
Everyone in the Japanese style supports Akagi, not only because she stood up and led everyone. Akagi is also gentle, generous, considerate, and has always been a sister who takes care of everyone. If there is a shortcoming, it is that she is "overeating". However, this small shortcoming is harmless and makes people feel more friendly.
Hearing Isuzu's words, Akagi said with a smile: "When did I ever say I would launch a surprise attack on the admiral?"
"Ah, Sister Akagi, aren't you going to surprise the admiral?" Isuzu said, "If we miss it, we'll miss it. The next time the admiral comes to our izakaya will be at night, and we don't know when that will be. Besides, everyone is staring at the admiral, and by the time the admiral comes again, we might be behind."
"So what if I fall behind a little." Akagi chuckled.
Akagi smiled and said, "In history, the Akagi led the attack on Pearl Harbor. Regardless of whether such an attack was glorious or not, it was a great victory. Even so, Japan's final defeat was inevitable. Even if the Battle of Midway was won, the result would be the same. In the final analysis, the gap in national strength between Japan and the United States is too great."
"Let's not talk about history. It's meaningless." Akagi said, "Let's just talk about our tutelary fort. What do you think of our Japanese style?"
"How about our Japanese cars?" Isuzu thought for a moment, "Our Japanese cars should still be pretty strong."
"Is there a stronger American style?" Akagi asked.
"Probably not." Isuzu said, "There are probably 20 to 30 American wedding ships."
"You think the American style is super strong, but I don't think so." Akagi said, "I don't think our Japanese style is worse than theirs."
"Honestly, I still think the American ones are stronger," Isuzu said, "They have so many wedding ships."
"What's the point of having too many wedding ships?" Akagi said, "One Lexington can beat ten ordinary wedding ships."
Isuzu nodded, Lexington is really powerful.
"So, the number of wedding ships is definitely useful, and the quality is also useful," said Akagi.
"Yeah." Isuzu responded.
"Lexington is a wife, and our Shokaku is also a wife. Our Shokaku is not as good as Lexington in any way. One is combat ability, the other is seniority, and the other is personality. Lexington is relatively enthusiastic and generous, while Shokaku is more reserved." Akagi said, " If Shokaku is more proactive, Shokaku is better at housework and cooking than Lexington. Even if he is not as good as Lexington, he may not be worse than Yixian."
"Yeah." Isuzu nodded. Mrs. Shokaku was really awesome.
"Besides Shokaku, Shinano is also a potential stock. Nine-tailed Fox Shinano, Izakaya proprietress Shinano, Experimental α Shinano, all of them made the admiral's eyes go straight." Akagi said, "Similar to Shokaku, Shinano's character is too weak. If she can do anything, she will definitely make the admiral crazy."
Akagi continued, "Speaking of Fuso again, her problems are similar to those of Shokaku and Shinano. Otherwise, even if she's not as good as Yisen, she's not much worse."
"Rather than a surprise attack on the admiral, even if we win temporarily, it will just be another Pearl Harbor attack." Akagi said, "Even if the surprise attack on the admiral succeeds, I win, and we Japanese lose."
There were rice crusts on the counter, which must be Isuzu's snacks. Akagi took one, then another, and finished eating. He slowly said, "Historically, Akagi was the flagship in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Now, everyone thinks that I will definitely launch a surprise attack on , but I don't want to do that."
Akagi looked at the door of the pub, not knowing when everyone would come to cause trouble. She said, "Even if the attack on Pearl Harbor and the surprise attack on the admiral succeed, it can only be a temporary success. It is more likely to fail and more likely to alert other departments. If we want to achieve the final victory, we must strengthen ourselves."
"I see." Isuzu said. The big sister is worthy of being the big sister. Everyone can only think of surprise attacks on the admiral, such as Mutsu and Kongo. Only she can see so far and so deeply. She is worthy of being the opponent of the big devil Lexington. No, Lexington is not as powerful as Akagi.
"Okay, I have to go back, otherwise the admiral will have kept you waiting for a long time." Facing Isuzu's admiring eyes, Akagi acted very indifferent.
"Well, Sister Akagi, go back."
Akagi walked away, took two steps, and suddenly turned back.
Isuzu was waiting for Akagi to give her important instructions.
Akagi spoke up.
"One box of takoyaki, one large fried chicken nuggets, one dorayaki, and one yokan."
"Hurry up."
