Chapter 249 I Am... God
Su Xia took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Admiral." Richelieu's voice came from the phone.
Su Xia had already made preparations, and said calmly: "Yes, Richelieu."
"Is the Admiral busy?" The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. It was not surprising that Richelieu asked this question.
"It's OK." Su Xia replied. To be honest, he was a little surprised at first that it was Richelieu who called first. But then he thought about it and it made sense. Richelieu, this French girl, had always been passionate, romantic, and cheerful. She had been the one who doted on him. "What does Richelieu want from me?"
"What do you think?"
"I can't guess."
"The Admiral has quietly gotten involved with Missouri... Richelieu is no match for Missouri, whether in looks or figure."
Su Xia scratched her hair, feeling a little headache about how to answer.
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "I have already talked about my experience with Missouri... As for your question about why Richelieu is inferior to Missouri... I don't know how to compare them. Richelieu and Missouri are two different people. In my mind, Richelieu is Richelieu, unique and incomparable."
A faint laugh could be heard. "Admiral, you have passed the test. But the Admiral went to Missouri instead of Richelieu. Richelieu is very angry now. Admiral, you can do whatever you want."
Su Xia wanted to complain, so I told him how Missouri and I got together. It was a chance encounter, not a one-on-one encounter. He was sure that Richelieu would not be so stupid, but was intentional. He said, "What do you think is the best way to deal with Richelieu?"
"I am going to paint a picture and I need a model. If you come and be my model, I will forgive you."
Su Xia glanced around, and now he was running away with Richelieu. What should he do next? He said, "It's okay another day, but I'm afraid it's not possible today. I'm busy working in the office now."
"Didn't the Admiral just say that everything was fine?"
Su Xia explained: "Not bad means that work is not too busy."
"Well... Actually, I knew the answer before I called the Admiral. Now I have given up."
"It is not a refusal, but a delay... Richelieu has falsified my speech."
"I see."
Su Xia was in no hurry to hang up the phone. Rather, he said, "Richelieu needs models for his paintings. Joan of Arc, Dunkirk, Strasbourg... everyone can be your model... Have you painted them all?"
“I have.”
"Leon?"
“I have drawn it.”
"So many people have drawn it... am I the only one who hasn't drawn it?"
"Didn't I invite you today?"
"…I just invited you today."
"Weren't you not in the tutelary fort before?"
Su Xia pretended to be wronged: "I know... Even if that's the case, everyone has it, am I the only one who doesn't have it?"
"If you care, Admiral, come here now."
"Even if I go there now, I will be the last one. Richelieu drew everyone first, and it was my turn last... How should I put it? I am a little concerned and jealous. After all, Richelieu is my wedding ship, right?"
After putting down the phone, Su Xia lay on the desk. She was really tired, but she had dealt with Richelieu. Everything was worth it. Using jealousy as a breakthrough point, let Richelieu know that he was jealous, so that she could feel that he cared about her.
Su Xia twisted his neck, making a clattering sound, and suddenly realized that Victory was looking at him, and said, "Victory, why are you looking at me like that?"
Victory said: "The admiral is quite capable."
Su Xia asked: "Is it really useful? I feel like what I said is a bit impressive."
"It doesn't matter. People like you, they will deceive themselves."
Su Xia hesitated to speak.
Su Xia stared at the phone on the desk for a while, wondering who would be the next caller.
The sound of little girls playing and fighting came from outside the window. Even in such hot weather, can they still play outdoors? Children are still fearless. Su Xia took a break and thought, does he have to wait passively for everyone to call? Can't he take the initiative just once?
Even if he turned out to be just being sentimental, the worst that could happen is that he would be laughed at. What's the big deal?
Su Xia picked up her phone and called Bismarck. Wait, let me think about what to say first.
"Hello, Bismarck."
"Yes... Admiral?"
"Is Xiao Zhai at home?"
"Not at home."
"She's not at home. I thought she was at home." Su Xia roughly knew that Xiao Zhai should be in the activity room.
"Admiral, do you have anything to do with her? She is wearing a children's watch. Admiral, do you have her cell phone number?"
Su Xia thought, how could he not have Xiao Zhai's cell phone number? He said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to play with her. I thought she was at home. She likes Bismarck so much, doesn't she? When I'm with her, I always hear her calling her "Sister Meow" all the time."
Su Xia continued, "I'm a little curious about how Bismarck did it. She likes her so much. In comparison, I tell her stories and play games with her, but there's nothing. She just doesn't like me and likes Bismarck. It's really jealous."
"I didn't do anything... How could Xiao Zhai not like the admiral?"
"Even if Xiao Zhai likes me, it's definitely not as much as Bismarck. I'm just an admiral, but Bismarck is Sister Meow."
“…”
No sound came. Su Xia smiled. Bismarck was indeed not good at speaking.
Su Xia said, "It's probably her personality charm. Speaking of which, Bismarck is really popular. Xiao Zhai likes her and always calls her sister Meow. Bei Zhai also likes her and can't live without her sister. Prince Eugen likes her. Hu De also likes her. The German flagship is well-deserved, obviously... No one is unconvinced by Bismarck."
Su Xia wanted to say, "It's obvious that they are not strong enough, so what's going on? This highlights Bismarck's personality charm." But she held back and didn't say it. Although it's okay to say that, Bismarck 's combat power is not good enough, not as good as Hu Teng, definitely not as good as his sister Bei Zhai, and not as good as Hindenburg. Even so, he is the leader of the German system.
“…”
Bismarck remained silent.
Su Xia said, "In comparison, I am only an admiral. I also want to have the same charisma as Bismarck and be popular. I work so hard just to get recognition from everyone, but it doesn't seem to work. Everyone just looks down on me and has no expectations of me. All they want is for me to stay in the garrison honestly."
Su Xia lost his temper and said, "Bismarck, am I really not good enough? Should I give up on becoming an admiral? I'm not good enough to be a mascot of the garrison."
"I think the admiral is great ."
Ten minutes later, Su Xia put down his phone. He thought that there should be no problem, and Bismarck should have been able to handle it. Complaining a little to a girl should let her know that she holds a high position in his mind and that he cares about her thoughts, otherwise he would not have contacted her.
Su Xia left his desk, walked around the office for a while, ate two packs of snacks, soaked chicken feet and candied dates, and finally walked to the balcony. It was still too hot outside, it would be better to have air conditioning in the office. He returned to the office and called King George V again.
"His Majesty?"
"Are you sure you want to call me that... whatever you want."
"Then Your Majesty." Su Xia said. He also felt that such a title was strange at first, and wanted to follow everyone else and call him George, Qiao Wu, Big Brother, etc., but finally he got used to it.
"Admiral, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I can't come to you if there's nothing?"
"So, the Admiral called me this time to chat with me?"
"It's actually for work. I have some problems at work and I don't know what to do."
"I knew it... If the Victory can't solve it, you have to find me."
Su Xia watched Shengli sitting at the tea table enjoying black tea, holding a cup of black tea. He couldn't understand, did she like black tea so much? It seemed that he always saw her drinking black tea. He lied with his eyes open, saying, "Shengli is not in the office."
"Oh...what do you want from me?"
Su Xia hadn't figured out an excuse yet. He didn't have any problems at all. He said, "There are so many people in the garrison. I thought of you when I encountered a problem. You can definitely help me solve the problem. I contacted you immediately. No matter what the problem is, I just need to leave it to you, my King George V."
Su Xia put down his phone. He didn't know if he had dealt with King George V. This girl was really difficult to deal with. For example, he finally thought of a suitable question, but King George V was unwilling to answer it. He kept saying that the question couldn't be explained clearly over the phone and it would be better to have a face-to-face meeting.
However, Su Xia was sure that he still made King George V of England feel that he cared about her and needed her very much.
Su Xia didn't know if Shi was with King George V. If so, wouldn't it be too awkward to call Shi now that both of them knew his operation after just calling King George V? After some consideration, she finally dialed the number.
"lion?"
"Um."
"I was just thinking, come over here and say hello. I'm carrying out reforms here. Qianwei is your man, can you borrow his name? Then, I can propose reforms in the name of Qianwei, a reform that can easily cause problems. If any problems arise, Qianwei can take the blame."
"The vanguard is not my man, it's your man."
"Even if I'm your man, I'm following you all the time. I have to say hello to you."
"That's fine with me."
"Then I'll treat you to a meal. We'll be in the big dining hall. Eat as much as you want. Don't worry about bankrupting me."
"Isn't the cafeteria free? Does that count as the admiral's treat?"
"Ha ha."
Su Xia thought that borrowing something from someone could also show that he needed her.
Su Xia was a little worried that Shi would think he was treating her as a tool.
You mean avant-garde opinions? I don't know.
After hanging up the phone with Shi, there was also the call with the Prince of Wales and Akagi. Even if Yixian did not participate in the so-called three-court trial, she still had to call her. As for the Soviet Union, she could forget about it. There was also the little loli in Veneto. After making all the calls, Su Xia felt a little tired. When she finally put down the phone, she lay down on the desk.
Victory came over and said, "I really admire the admiral now."
Su Xia opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She was too tired to speak.
"Are you exhausted so soon?" Victory said, "We are still short of one more person."
"There are still many people missing ." Su Xia said, thinking that there were hundreds of people in the garrison, and he had more than a hundred wedding ships. Even if those little loli didn't need to be taken care of, and only the big sister was considered, there were still dozens or hundreds of people. Calling them one by one would cost lives.
Su Xia could only assure him that he now knew to take the initiative and would take things slowly from now on.
Victory poured Su Xia a cup of black tea and said, "But the admiral can never forget Lexington."
Su Xia just smiled.
"why are you laughing."
"Why do you think I didn't call Lexington."
Victory knew the answer.
