Chapter 196: Repel the Enemy
"You, what do you want to say? Of course I have reason to hate you." Kirov was really worried.
"I don't want to lie and deceive myself. Kirov must know it too." Susha said, "We worked so hard to build Kirov. Rather than saying I want Kirov, I want Kirov's gun."
The standards of Soviet warships have always been ahead of the world. The Kirov, equipped with triple 180mm main guns, is a heavy cruiser according to the standards of the London Naval Treaty.
Because the tonnage of Kirov was less than 10,000 tons, and the Soviet Union was not a signatory to the London Naval Treaty, the Soviet side did not position Kirov as a heavy cruiser but called it a light cruiser.
As for that game, the Soviet name was used.
In the Soviet Navy's coastal torpedo defense system, cruisers such as the Type 26 were responsible for long-range interception shooting and covering destroyers and torpedo boats in dropping torpedoes in a roundabout way, so a longer range was required.
In short, in the game, the Kirov gun has a long range and can be used on light cruisers and heavy cruisers, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of light cruisers and heavy cruisers. Since the game was launched, there are naturally many options to choose from, but in the beginning, the Kirov gun was uniquely powerful.
Kirov said: "I thought you would quibble, but you just admitted it directly."
"There's nothing wrong with admitting this." Su Xia said, "Compared to the Kirov, I want the Kirov's gun more. It's really too powerful."
Kirov gritted his teeth, feeling very upset. He knew that she was not strong, nor was she very pretty, and the truth was not so easy to accept.
"I was lucky enough to build Kirov. As soon as I got Kirov, I immediately dismantled its gun and gave it to Helena. As for Kirov..." Susha looked at Kirov, "Kirov must be very painful after encountering such a thing. He must resent me."
Kirov sneered, but his smile was not real.
"I have to say, at that time..." Su Xia said, "I wanted a powerful tutelary fort, and I didn't care about anything to achieve that goal. As long as I could get Kirov's cannon, I wouldn't care about Kirov's feelings."
"The only thing I care about is..." Su Xia narrowed her eyes, "Whether to give it to Helena or Wichita. In the end, I gave it to Helena because she appears more often. As a light cruiser, she has excellent detection and anti-submarine capabilities."
"Go on," Kirov said. "Go on. Say that I stole your equipment for the greater good, so that the garrison could better suppress the deep sea. The right equipment can only be put to the best use when it is in the hands of the right people. Why do you have any grudges against me, Kirov?"
"When evaluating whether something is good or bad, different people have different standards for judgment. Can one person's life be sacrificed for the survival of 10,000 people? I don't want to discuss such an issue with Kirov." Su Xia said, "In fact, I never , and I didn't consider Kirov's feelings."
Even though he already knew the truth and the admiral's character, Kirov still felt more angry than ever when he heard him admit it. You really admitted it without considering my feelings at all.
"It's just a little bit of a feeling." Su Xia said, "Now that I think about it, there should have been a more appropriate solution at the time. For example, there were still a lot of equipment in the warehouse at the time. We could have taken away Kirov's guns and compensated Kirov with some other equipment."
Su Xia thought, he was just playing a game, why would he care so much.
"No. Nothing." Su Xia said, "So I said, Kirov has reason to hate me. There are so many solutions, but he chose the most hurtful one. If I were Kirov, I would hate myself too."
"And then," Kirov said, "Is that all? That alone is not enough to stop me from publishing those ugly photos of you I just took."
"On the contrary," Susha said, "I hope Kirov will put those photos in the newspaper. If so, Kirov will calm down."
"I see," Kirov said. "I see. You want me to publish those pictures in the newspapers... If I do that, if I avenge you, will your guilt feel lighter?"
"No." Kirov raised his hand. "That was your plan. You retreated to advance. Don't even think about succeeding. I will make sure those photos are published in the newspapers, so that everyone in the garrison will know how ugly you really are."
"You discovered it." Su Xia smiled.
"No, no." Kirov saw Su Xia laughing, and she was really confused. "What exactly do you want to say? What exactly do you want to do?"
Su Xia was distressed. In fact, he didn't know what he was talking about. He just said whatever he thought of.
After all, it was impossible to come up with any good ideas in such a short time. He just had this thought in mind: no matter what he said, whether it was useful or not, it would not happen. If Kirov published the photos of him without pants that she took in the newspaper, the result would be even worse.
"My idea..." Su Xia said. He now had some ideas.
Susha looked at Kirov, the bright and charming girl, and said slowly: "Kirov, don't be blinded by hatred."
"I was blinded by hatred?" Kirov asked back, "Isn't it your fault?"
"My fault. I have no intention of defending what I did, or even blaming Kirov," Susha said. "I have done many wrong things all along."
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "Unless they are powerful ship girls, most of them will just leave them aside and ignore them after they get them. They treated you and Bumblebee like that, and... Speaking of which, they often harassed everyone."
"For an unqualified admiral like me, I deserve to be hated, or even abandoned by the ship girls." Su Xia said, "But everyone didn't abandon me and treated me wholeheartedly as an admiral. It really makes me feel ashamed. How could I have done so many stupid things in the first place?"
Kirov said: "You mean to say that no one hates you, only I hate you, I am too petty. I shouldn't hate you, I should forgive you like everyone else?"
Su Xia shook her head and said, "Everyone has the right to forgive or not. Everyone forgave me because they were generous and I was lucky. Kirov didn't forgive me, not because he was petty, but because I deserved it. In fact, I personally hate people who advise you to forgive the most. I'm not the one involved and I haven't been hurt, so of course I'm generous."
"Kirov must have been deeply hurt all along," Suxia said. "It may be a little late to apologize. But it's better late than never. I'm really sorry."
Kirov snorted and said, "Just a simple apology and that's it."
"Of course it's not enough." Su Xia said.
"Then what else have to say?" Kirov said, "I will never give up. I will put your ugly photo in the newspaper for everyone in the garrison to see."
"Absolutely not." Kirov spoke word by word.
"If we do that, Kirov will calm down. Kirov, do it immediately." Suxia said.
"Not enough, not enough. Compared to the hurt you've caused me, this alone is not enough to make me feel better."
"Then what should I do?" Susha asked, "so that Kirov can calm down."
Su Xia said: "In order to achieve this goal. As for me, I can even cooperate with Kirov to take pictures until Kirov calms down."
"Kirov can choose not to forgive me, and he can also take revenge on me," Susha said. "I just hope that Kirov takes revenge on me, his anger subsides, and the matter is over. Don't let hatred blind your eyes."
Su Xia smiled and said, "There are many, many things in this world besides hatred. Beautiful scenery, delicious food, fun games... Living in hatred, remembering it all the time, without rest, is really tiring. I don't want Kirov to live that kind of life."
Kirov was a little confused. What? She was exaggerating. She didn't hold the hatred in her mind all the time. She just didn't mind making trouble when she had the chance as revenge. Besides that, she drank and chatted with everyone every day, took pictures of the scenery with her camera, and her life was so good. She didn't feel tired at all.
Kirov wanted to speak, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Su Xia stood up and said, "I used to be a bastard and a scumbag... I don't know if Kirov noticed it, but now I want to change and be a good admiral. I want to change those bad habits, such as the bad habit of harassing everyone. I want to correct my previous mistakes and start with reforming the cafeteria."
"I think..." Susha looked at Kirov and smiled, "I want to fill this port area with everyone's laughter."
"It is also for this goal. I hope, I want to resolve Kirov's hatred." Su Xia said, "Kirov can choose not to forgive, as long as Kirov can calm down. It's not forgiveness, just calming down. If you calm down, you can live a little easier."
"Whatever it is, I am willing to accept the punishment." Susha asked, "What does Kirov want me to do?"
Su Xia took a step forward.
Kirov took a step back.
Su Xia took the initiative to step back and said, "Kirov, let me tell you. It's okay. I will try my best."
"I will try... What will you try?" Kirov said, "It's incomprehensible."
"Don't pretend in front of me. It's useless." Kirov paused, "I'm leaving now. Get ready and publish those photos in the newspaper."
"Go ahead." Su Xia said.
"I'm going." Kirov said, "You pervert, just continue to sit here."
Su Xia watched Kirov leave. He didn't know whether Kirov would publish those photos in the newspaper. In any case, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Su Xia looked at the sea and thought, there are still no pants.
