Chapter 617 What does she do?
The distance between the naval base and the KanColle headquarters is not close, and even if you take the extremely fast Chinook, it will take a long time. Even with the black technology of Yubari and Indomitable, the speed of the cruise ship is far inferior to that of the Chinook. It is better to say that there is a world of difference. In other words, everyone has to stay on the cruise ship for a long time.
With so much time, what can we do to pass the time?
Small gambling is fun, but big gambling is harmful to your health.
On this sunny morning, inside the spacious cabin of the cruise ship, Su Xia was holding a lovely big bluefin tuna. He glanced at Missouri who was sitting opposite him, threw down a playing card, and said, "A seven."
The big bluefish sat in Su Xia's arms. They were in the same group. He reminded, "There are two left."
Su Xia smiled slightly, he believed that he had already won, he put two poker cards on the card table, hugged the big bluefin tuna and leaned back, the plump little girl felt so good, leaning on the back of the chair. The chair, including the card table, was fixed on the cruise ship to prevent it from being thrown to other places in strong winds and waves.
Enterprise was left in the garrison as a secretary ship. No one on this trip was particularly lucky, as everyone was an evenly matched opponent. Su Xia had only one twenty and one ten left in his hand, and he won the final victory without any surprise.
The winner is responsible for shuffling the cards. Su Xia gave this task to the bluefin tuna as a special honor. As for whether Loli can shuffle the cards, he doesn't care. Anyway, if there is a problem in the final investigation, it is all the responsibility of the bluefin tuna.
While the bluefin mullets were being shuffled, Missouri walked to the window with a cup of water. Outside the window, the sky was endless and blue. A few seagulls were circling around the cruise ship. The sea was sparkling under the sunshine and the sea breeze. It was so beautiful that it was hard to imagine the appearance of a deep-sea flagship.
Missouri leaned on the windowsill, the sea breeze blowing her slightly curly long hair. He looked at Su Xia who was directing the bluefin fry to shuffle the cards, and said, "The admiral doesn't look nervous at all."
"What's the use of being nervous?" Su Xia shrugged.
"I remember the admiral said that Sable only gave everyone one week, and we must suppress the Deep Sea Taiho in one week," Missouri asked.
"Yes." Su Xia said.
There are priorities, and suppressing the Deep Sea Phoenix is obviously the most important and urgent one, for a simple reason - the Deep Sea Phoenix is wreaking havoc in an important sea area. In contrast, the Deep Sea Eagle had actually appeared a long time ago, but because it had been wandering in the depths of the sea and posed no threat, it had been ignored.
"Besides the fact that the deep-sea giant phoenix appears in important sea areas and threatens several shipping routes at the same time, if one is left untreated, it will have a great impact on trade," Missouri said, "there may be another reason."
Su Xia smiled and said, "There is another reason. The Deep Sea Taiho is not considered strong in the eyes of the KanColle Headquarters. It only takes a week."
Su Xia thought that in the game, the duration of the re-engraving event is usually very short, and it is often a small event. In this world, the reason why the Ship Girl Headquarters gave those ship girls who made a comeback a very short time to suppress them is that they can defeat them once and twice, and the deep-sea flagships that already have various intelligence are not to be feared.
"Is this why the admiral is not nervous?" Missouri asked.
"No." Su Xia bit the ear of the loli with blonde twin tails.
Su Xia raised her head and looked around. Missouri was leaning on the windowsill. Veneto was reaching out to take the coffee brought by Archerfish. Facing the heavily armored Deep Sea Taiho, how could they be without Richelieu? Richelieu was especially good at dealing with high-armor opponents. She was looking at her phone. North Carolina was now in a young girl state...
"I have Missouri, Veneto, Richelieu, North Carolina... everyone will never let me down," Su Xia said, "I am confident."
"And me, and me." The bluefin tuna raised her hands high. The little girl twisted restlessly in Su Xia's arms, "Cricket monkey."
"That's the deep-sea monkey." Su Xia said, "The deep-sea flagship."
"Deep-sea flagship, stupid monkey is also stupid monkey." As the submarine that sank the armored aircraft carrier Taiho in history, the bluefin tuna is very disdainful of Taiho, no matter which Taiho it is. The literary girl with pink hair and twin ponytails, or the white-haired loli.
Su Xia smiled and pinched the cute face of the big bluefin tuna.
Missouri saw that the bluefin shuffled the cards and returned to the table, where the game continued.
After playing a few more rounds of poker, Su Xia's record was a mixture of wins and losses, which was considered average.
The bluefin tuna had left Su Xia's arms and was playing games on the game console. The archerfish sat beside her and watched her play games to kill time on the boat. Su Xia held her chin and looked at the scenery outside the window. The scenery outside the window was still so beautiful. She said casually: " What time ? It will be afternoon when we arrive at the KanColle headquarters."
"Are you bored, Admiral?" Richelieu had just won the game and she was now in charge of shuffling the cards.
"It's okay." Su Xia said, "I just suddenly missed the fact that I haven't been to the KanColle headquarters for a long time."
"The admiral can't wait to show off his boats?" Missouri said, "I heard that every time the admiral goes to the headquarters of the ship mother, he shows off his boats, which makes the other admirals stunned."
"Three people can make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can melt gold... Don't believe in rumors or spread them. Don't listen to their nonsense." Su Xia said, "I don't like to sunbathe the boat. I hate it the most."
Missouri's expression clearly showed disbelief.
"Come to think of it," Su Xia paused and said, "You don't know."
Su Xia had already inquired about it. He said, "There are no Africans in the garrison participating in the operation to suppress the Deep Sea Taiho this time. The weakest garrison has more than 20 ship girls, and the strongest garrison has dozens of ship girls. It can easily form a main fleet. There are all kinds of ship girls that they have not seen..."
Su Xia laughed as he spoke. It was not important to show off the boats. What was important was everyone's mood. He said, "No problem. No matter what monsters there are, they can't compare to my ship girls... Let's show them off to death."
"I like to sunbathe the boat the most." Su Xia raised her hand.
"I just want the admiral to be happy." Missouri said, "Whatever the admiral wants to do, Missouri is willing to cooperate with the admiral."
"You're almost there." Su Xia said, as Missouri lay on his shoulder again.
Soon it was noon.
Everyone ate the food that was carefully prepared for everyone in the morning in the canteen of the garrison. The cruise ship was equipped with a kitchen, but it was generally not used. In any case, heating up the food was a piece of cake. As for dinner, we would definitely arrive at the Kanmusu headquarters by then, so we could just eat in the canteen of the Kanmusu headquarters. The food there was also quite good.
After lunch, Su Xia stopped playing cards and stood on the upper deck of the cruise ship to enjoy the breeze. Of course, she couldn't help but cooperate with Missouri to repeat the classic moment in the movie "Titanic". That girl likes to perform, but as a ship girl, she can't become an actress. Usually, she can only shoot short videos and MVs in the naval base to entertain herself.
After playing with Missouri on the upper deck for about half an hour, Su Xia prepared to go back to the cabin to rest. She didn't go to bed late last night, but she got up very early this morning in order to go to the ship's headquarters, just as the sky was getting light.
Walking in the corridor back to the cabin, Su Xia saw Richelieu, dressed fashionably, leaning on the railing and looking out to sea.
"What is Richelieu looking at?" Su Xia asked, "Won't you take a break at noon?"
"I saw it all," said Richelieu, turning his head.
Su Xia asked in confusion: "What did you see?"
Richelieu replied: "What the Admiral and Missouri did on the upper deck."
"Then what?" Su Xia asked.
"I want some too," said Richelieu.
"No problem." Su Xia nodded without hesitation. He was not confident that he could be completely fair, but there was absolutely no problem in being as fair as possible, and he would never favor anyone over anyone. Besides, he liked Missouri and Richelieu, the blond knight.
"I don't want to repeat what others have said." Richelieu looked at Su Xia and said.
"I will cooperate with Richelieu no matter what he wants to do." Su Xia said affirmatively.
"Can the Admiral draw?" Richelieu asked suddenly.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He remembered that when he was a child, he saw a very remarkable scene in "Titanic", but when he watched "Titanic" again when he grew up, that scene was gone. He smiled and said expectantly: "Not likely. But I will try my best."
"I can," said Richelieu, "I am good at drawing."
"Uh..." Su Xia thought of the tree-banging incident on the steps of the garrison. Richelieu has always been a passionate, generous, proactive and romantic French girl.
Su Xia wanted to refuse.
I set out from the naval base in the morning and arrived at the KanColle headquarters in the afternoon. I contacted Ella to avoid the embarrassment of arriving at the KanColle headquarters but not knowing where to go or what to do.
The cruise ship had just docked at the dock of the Ship Girls Headquarters. The dock of the Ship Girls Headquarters was empty. This dock was large, but it was only used for special ships such as the garrison and the Ship Girls Branch. Su Xia saw Ella coming to the dock in the sun. The people traveling with her were Sable and an unknown woman.
"Admiral Su, you finally appear after being called for so long." Ella immediately started shouting when she saw Su Xia appear on the deck when they were disembarking.
Su Xia didn't bother to pay attention to Ella. She greeted Sable and looked at the unfamiliar woman.
She wore a big hat, had waist-length black hair, and a fitted uniform. Fit doesn't mean that she had an ordinary figure, she was tall and had a prominent bust. Fit means that the well-tailored uniform perfectly set off her figure, making her look exceptionally handsome.
Zidane noticed Su Xia's gaze and was about to introduce her to him, but Ella spoke up first. She hugged the bluefin tuna. She had spent a long time in the garrison before, and had spent several days there during Halloween. She was very familiar with everyone. "Admiral Su, guess who she is."
Su Xia had never seen that woman before. Anyway, she was not a senior member of the KanColle headquarters. She smiled bitterly and said, "I can't guess."
"I can give you a hint." Ella said, "Shipgirl."
"I know for sure it's a ship girl." Su Xia said. It is too rare for ordinary people to have such beautiful appearance and temperament.
"You should be able to recognize her," Aila said. "Don't you think she looks very similar to a certain ship girl in your garrison?"
Su Xia looked at the strange woman again. The woman smiled at him politely, looked at him carefully and said, "She looks very familiar."
Judging from the figure of the woman, she must be a battleship. Even battleships don't have that figure. Black hair usually appears on oriental shipgirls. If the woman is a shipgirl, she is most likely a Japanese shipgirl. It's definitely impossible to be Yamato or Musashi. There's no reason for it...
"I really can't guess." Su Xia said.
"Okay." Sable said, "Ella, please don't embarrass Admiral Su."
"Ibuki." Sable raised his hand and placed it in front of the strange woman.
"Ibuki?" Su Xia muttered, "Ibuki heavy cruiser?"
The Ibuki-class heavy cruisers were ordered by the Navy in the Marukyu Project. They were slightly upgraded versions of the previous Mogami-class cruisers. After being severely damaged in the Battle of Midway, the construction of the cruisers was suspended due to the increased importance of aircraft carriers during the war. After discussion, it was decided to convert them into light aircraft carriers, but the construction project was not completed until the end of the war.
It's just a heavy cruiser, but its image is closer to that of a battleship, which feels a bit out of place. Think about Des Moines, it's just a heavy cruiser, but it's enough to crush those battleships, as if everything can be explained.
The Des Moines, with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, was the ultimate artillery cruiser built at the end of World War II . It was nothing special to have such a body. The combat effectiveness of the Ibuki-class heavy cruiser was obviously not very good, but it looked like a battleship, which made people feel very subtle, as if the handsome big sister was actually a weak chicken. If it was put in the game, it would be a waste of such a good illustration.
"What is Admiral Su thinking about?" Ibuki asked.
"Nothing." Su Xia said quickly, thinking for a moment and explaining, "I just heard about Ibuki's identity and remembered the ship girl of our naval base. She is the second ship of the Ibuki-class heavy cruiser, Kurama."
"Really?" Ibuki stretched out his hand towards Suxia. "I heard that there is a Kurama in your tutelary fort. I've always wanted to go and see it."
"Be sure to go and see it if you have the chance." Su Xia held Ibuki's hand.
The reason why Ibuki appeared with Ella and Sable was that she was one of the persons in charge of the operation to suppress the Deep Sea Taiho.
They just chatted briefly and then parted ways.
Next, Ella took Suxia and his ship girl to their residence to rest. In fact, this was the reason why they just had a brief chat and then parted. This meeting was just to get to know each other, and the formal work and communication would have to wait until tomorrow.
Taking a cruise is not as tiring as taking a Chinook, but it is still quite tiring as it lasts from morning to afternoon and there are some bumps during the ride.
Su Xia planned to put down her luggage at her residence and take a brief rest. She would officially start work tomorrow, so she could take advantage of the night to walk around.
