Chapter 188 The Truth
Su Xia was a little surprised. He didn't know why Shang Chu called him specifically to say something.
Seeing Su Xia sitting down, Shang Chu asked, "What do you think after listening to so much from everyone just now?"
"I've learned a lot." Su Xia thought for a moment and said, he was not perfunctory, he really learned a lot. Such as many small tricks to manage the garrison. Leniency for confession, life in prison, strictness for resistance, and going home for the New Year. How to argue in the military police, kissing a destroyer is not a foul.
"It's not wrong for a new admiral to learn more from his seniors." Shang Chu stretched out his legs. "In school, the teachers taught you this and that. They were right. But when you really go to the garrison, you will find that plans cannot keep up with changes, and the things you learned in school are difficult to use."
"Oh." Su Xia responded casually. He was not a student who graduated from school, but an admiral who changed his career halfway through. To be honest, he didn't quite understand.
Shang Chu finished his drink and put the glass aside.
"Let me think about what to say."
"I specifically called you over because I need to remind you of something."
"Some of what everyone said just now can be listened to, but some should not be learned. Don't listen to them, as if they can easily get so many capital ships. It's not that easy. The hurdle that an admiral can't overcome is gambling on ships."
"Don't be impulsive. If you think that if someone builds a battleship in no time, why can't I build one? It's easy to lose all your resources in one go."
"New admiral, don't think about the battleship. Focus on steady progress. Even if you are lucky enough to build a battleship, do you know how much it costs to build a battleship? It's easy to lose money..."
"These things are all based on our experience. Schools won't teach you that. They will only teach you how to command operations and laws and regulations."
"Remember, don't get carried away." Shang Chu emphasized again, "You don't have resources when you are a student, but when you start working and become an admiral, resources will come all at once. Many new admirals can easily lose control and get carried away."
Su Xia now understood everything. Why Shang Chu called him? It turned out that he wanted to give some advice to the junior as a senior. He was a good person.
"Let's exchange contact information." Shang Chu said, "If you encounter any problems in the future, don't hesitate to contact me at any time. We are a small circle of admirals, so we must unite."
They exchanged contact information.
Shang Chu saved the contact skillfully and did not put the phone back into his pocket. He placed it on the bar and said, "Contact me anytime. If you have time, you can come to my garrison to take a look."
"Okay." Su Xia said, being polite is a must, "You can also come to my garrison when you have time."
"Definitely." Shang Chu said.
"Come to think of it," Shang Chu hesitated, "I haven't introduced my ship girl to you yet."
Shang Chu waved his hand and called over a beautiful woman with blonde hair parted on the side, and introduced her as "Indiana."
For an admiral, a shipgirl can be absent, but he must not be ignorant of battleships and confuse who is who. Even so, Shang Chu said: "Indiana, the second South Dakota-class battleship. Not Indianapolis, not the second Portland-class heavy cruiser."
Shang Chu laughed: "Speaking of this, it reminds me that when I first acquired her, I always confused her with that Indianapolis. For this reason, I was always criticized for not looking like an admiral."
"Hello." Indiana stood behind Shang Chu.
"Hello." Su Xia said, looking at Indiana, wanting to remember her appearance and compare it with his Indiana. But out of politeness, he only took one more look.
"How about it, my ship girl is very beautiful, a big beauty." Shang Chu asked.
"Very beautiful." Su Xia said.
"Don't say dark skin, that's wheat-colored skin." Shang Chu reminded.
Indiana reached out and grabbed Shang Chu's neck, saying, "Who do you say has dark skin... I don't need you to remind me, anyone can see that this is a healthy wheat color."
Shang Chu grabbed Indiana's arm that was strangling her neck and said, "Black skin is super sexy."
"You're the pervert," Indiana said.
After a while of playing around, the two men seemed to suddenly remember that Su Xia was still sitting next to them, and they quickly stopped.
Even though they were just playing around, Shang Chu still felt a little pain in his neck. What a violent ship girl.
Shang Chu touched his neck, coughed, and said, "I'm not bragging, my Indiana is pretty strong. So, if you encounter any difficulties, or if there is something in the sea area you are responsible for, or if there is a deep-sea battleship that you can't deal with, you can call me."
Shang Chu paused and added, "But let me be frank. It's not free. But according to the standard price, considering that you are a new admiral, I can give you a 20% discount. There is no other way. The landlord doesn't have any surplus food. You don't know how much a battleship consumes."
Showing off the boat is showing off the boat, and taking care of newlyweds is taking care of newlyweds, there is no conflict.
"It's definitely not free. Even if you want it for free, I don't dare to ask for it." Su Xia said, "Free is the most expensive."
A AAA masterpiece costs only a few hundred dollars. I don’t know how much I need to invest in a free mobile game if I want to have fun.
Honestly, it doesn't matter whether it's free or paid, as long as they don't do something like - before the game goes online, they say players vote on whether to charge for point cards or items, but who knows if point card charging will win in the end, and they just innovate a dual-charge system of point cards and mall items. What a great game company.
"Yes, free ones are the most expensive." Shang Chu said, "They call it free, but once you're fooled, they charge for all the value-added services, and that's the most expensive."
"It's just like printers," Su Xia said. "Printers are usually sold very cheaply. They sell the printers to you at cost price, or even at a loss, to occupy the market first. Then when you buy ink and other consumables, they make money back one by one."
"Ah?" Shang Chu was stunned for a moment, "No wonder the printer is so cheap and has so many features?"
Su Xia is also a little stupid, don’t you know?
"I just play games, and free games are the most expensive." Shang Chu coughed, "Anyway, this fee is really necessary. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly . Just because we are friends, we must pay. Friends also need to be managed, otherwise this friendship will definitely not last long."
"I understand." Su Xia said. He was already past the age where he felt that friends should be selfless.
"No problem." Shang Chu acted quite naturally and patted Su Xia on the shoulder. "Yes, everyone can do it. You can also build a battleship. Then you won't need to ask anyone for help."
"Speaking of which..." Shang Chu looked inside the bar, "The two people who were with you during the day and came with you tonight, what kind of ship girls are they?"
"During the day?" Su Xia said, "Indomitable, Lexington, Saratoga... and a King Kong."
"Those two must be Saratoga and King Kong," Shang Chu said. After all, he was an admiral, and with certain intelligence, it would be a small matter.
"Which KanColle division are they from?" Shang Chu asked. There were no such people at the KanColle headquarters, so they could only be from the KanColle division.
Without waiting for Su Xia to answer, Shang Chu said, "Is it a wandering ship girl?"
Shang Chu reminded: "Even the ship girls working in the ship girl headquarters or branches may have admirals. They just work with the admirals in the ship girl headquarters or branches, not in the garrison. If there is already an admiral, there must be no small moves."
"If it's still a wandering ship girl, don't worry, there's no first come first served, everyone depends on their own ability." Shang Chu thought for a while and said, "Don't trust those bastards, don't let them, seize all the opportunities..."
As Su Xia was listening, she suddenly noticed a blonde girl running towards her from inside the bar.
Seeing her brother-in-law chatting with two beautiful women, Saratoga cared even if the two beauties had nothing to do with her brother-in-law.
Although she cared, Saratoga did not bother her brother-in-law without him calling her. We were all family, so it was okay to fool around a bit, but we couldn't fool around when there were outsiders around.
Isn't this something, can I bother you for a minute, Saratoga ran to the bar and shouted, "Brother-in-law."
Shang Chu naturally noticed that the blonde girl ran over and seemed to be in trouble. She had stopped temporarily, and then heard the blonde girl calling the new admiral sitting next to him "brother-in-law". To be honest, she was a little confused. How could a ship girl call a man "brother-in-law"?
"Well, what's the matter?" Su Xia asked. He could naturally see that Saratoga came here for something.
"My sister asked if we had gone home, and then said they should come over and sit for a while," said Saratoga.
"Come over now?"
"I just noticed the message... It's been a few minutes. It should be here soon."
"Oh." Su Xia said, "Come on, they know where we are, right?"
"Of course I know."
After Su Xia and Saratoga finished their conversation, Shang Chu looked at the blonde girl and asked, "Kanmusu?"
"Um."
"Saratoga?"
"yes."
Shang Chu glanced at Su Xia and said, "Why do you call him brother-in-law?"
Saratoga was also a little confused by the question. Why else could she answer? After thinking for a while, she said, "Because he is my brother-in-law... my sister's husband, shouldn't I call him brother-in-law?"
"That makes sense." Shang Chu nodded. There was nothing wrong with her sister's husband calling her brother-in-law. So what was the problem?
Just then, the door was pushed open and a group of people walked into the bar.
Saratoga saw the group of people. She had always liked her sister the best, so she excitedly shouted, "This way, sister."
Walking to Su Xia's side and stopping, Lexington said, "Admiral, didn't you say we'd be back in half an hour or an hour?"
Su Xia looked at the time and said, "I didn't pay attention to the time."
"It's okay, we don't blame you." Lexington said, seeing the beautiful female admiral sitting next to Su Xia.
Su Xia noticed Lexington's gaze and introduced him, "Admiral Shang, we just met."
Lexington knew immediately why the admiral had not returned so late, and greeted him: "Hello."
"Hello, hello." Shang Chu hasn't reacted yet.
Then he was about to introduce Shang Chu. Su Xia was a little hesitant about how to make the introduction. He felt that Shang Chu was a good person who took good care of him and gave him advice, so he should just give a perfunctory introduction. As expected, he still introduced Shang Chu properly and said, "These are all my ship girls."
Su Xia stretched out her hand.
"Lexington, the CV-2 one."
"The first ship of the King George V-class battleship, King George V."
"Prince of Wales, second ship of the King George V class."
Su Xia introduced them one by one, then remembered that there was another person and said, "Oh, that one over there is the King Kong."
Su Xia found that some people had not come yet, so she asked, "Where is Bu Ruo?"
Lexington replied, "She's asleep."
"And what about counterattack?"
"She is not coming," replied the Prince of Wales.
Su Xia wanted to ask more, but suddenly remembered, looked at Shang Chu, and said apologetically: "Well, what I have always wanted to say is that I am not a rookie admiral... How should I put it, I don't know if I am a rookie admiral. Not a rookie, but a rookie who doesn't know anything."
Shang Chu said expressionlessly: "I don't understand."
"I don't know how to explain it better." Su Xia said, "Anyway, I still have a fairly large garrison with a few ship girls."
Shang Chu looked at Su Xia who was hesitating about how to explain, then at the many ship girls standing beside him, and then looked behind her, there was only one... no, not one at all, the disloyal Indiana disappeared at some point.
Think about the information I got from Ella... Ella didn't say anything, but she thought it was a new admiral. The other party was a new admiral, and all of it was her guess.
Ella misunderstood me.
