Chapter 628: Path
Since the Deep Sea Taiho appeared near the shipping route, it directly threatened the passing ships on the route and caused serious impact on the economies of various countries. A number of affected countries asked the KanColle headquarters to deal with it as soon as possible.
The Kanmusu Headquarters gave the Sable, the cadre who was directly in charge of the suppression of the deep-sea flagship, a week - they already had experience in suppressing the Deep-sea Taiho, so as long as they followed the procedure, a week would be more than enough - to deal with the Deep-sea Taiho, otherwise the reputation of the Kanmusu Headquarters would inevitably be affected.
Sable gave the admirals six days, and one day was to avoid any accidents . The killer weapon was ready.
Due to the accident, the combat meeting was interrupted and a day was wasted. We were not being pretentious. Such serious injuries needed a day to heal. The combat meeting lasted another day. Time was running out and we had to hurry. The next day after the combat meeting, all the admirals began to take action.
This is the first day of the official launch of the operation to suppress the Deep Sea Taiho.
Compared to the admirals who were busy preparing for the attack, Su Xia had almost nothing to do. He and his shipgirls came as the guarantee and trump card for suppressing the Deep Sea Phoenix this time, but they have not yet started to attack the Deep Sea Phoenix. They are just preparing to clean up the deep-sea fleet summoned by the Deep Sea Phoenix. They are not needed yet.
Even if they are not needed yet and are only here temporarily, who knows when an accident might happen, especially now that intelligence shows that the Deep Sea Yamato has appeared. Everyone must be on standby at the ship girls and be ready to attack and participate in the rescue at any time. They are not allowed to go out shopping, visit the zoo, or go to the amusement park.
Being on standby does not require you to stay on the dock ready for battle all the time, it just means you can find someone whenever you need to attack.
The albacore likes to play games when they are free, and the archerfish watches the albacore play games, and when necessary, it acts as a lap pillow or even feeds it. She has always been a good sister who takes care of her sister. The rest of the people, such as Missouri, Richelieu, etc., fight on the mahjong table, and the cruelty is no less than that of the battlefield.
As for Su Xia, as the admiral, he had been staying in the operations room since morning.
He was forbidden to attend combat meetings, but now it was no longer a combat meeting, but a formal combat. Since it was just a fleet attack, there were still many admirals staying at the fleet headquarters, so he was repeatedly told by not to allow any form of Versailles.
Anyway, Su Xia felt very innocent, and he really didn't want to be Versailles.
When the Shipgirls appear on the sea, the mysterious forces that hinder human technology disappear. To some extent, it can be said that the fog of war disappears, and everyone can use high-definition satellites to see how the Shipgirls and the deep-sea Shipgirls fight. The problem is that you can only watch and cannot interfere in any way.
Su Xia and everyone else sat next to the electronic sand table, watching the combined fleet sailing on the vast ocean on the screen. The figure of the deep-sea fleet appeared in the disappearing fog. The two sides encountered each other, the battle was about to break out, and the shelling began.
"The distance is too far. We need to adjust the angle."
"The enemy is too weak."
"New Mexico hit a straddle shot."
"Now it's a joint air battle."
"Nevada was bruised by the attack."
Compared to games, games must consider gameplay. It is often the case that a ship girl is sunk by one shot, and then a battle often turns into a night battle. The actual artillery battle is not that simple. A battle often lasts for a long time. No matter how high the training level of the ship girl is, she must fire many shells to slowly calibrate, aim at the enemy, and then hit the enemy. This is the case when the deep-sea ship girl will not escape, otherwise a blocking battle will have to be fought.
I don't know if it was because our side was too strong. The average training level of the combined fleet was also over 80, and the equipment was quite good. Even the MK6 was not a rare piece of equipment. Or was it because the enemy was too weak. Everyone's target was the weakest of the deep-sea fleets summoned by the Deep Sea Taiho, in order to eliminate those weak deep-sea fleets and finally bite the hard bone. Maybe it was both. In short, the battle ended quickly.
Seeing the combined fleet win the battle with overwhelming force, and New Mexico taking the MVP, Su Xia couldn't help but think of the game. If it were in the game, this would probably be the so-called first level, and it was generally recommended that the ship level be greater than level 10. Even a newcomer could easily win by forming a fleet.
From morning to afternoon, the combined fleet encountered a total of three deep-sea fleets. The main battle lasted for a long time from time to time. The hit rate of the artillery fire was too low, and the reloading time was quite long. No one suffered more than a hit, but two people were scratched, which did not affect their combat effectiveness.
Su Xia sat next to them without saying a word, silently listening to everyone talking about where the Combined Fleet did well and where it performed poorly, how it was a bit flustered when it saw the torpedo approaching, or how it shouldn't have approached too close... There must be a lot of problems for shipgirls who are not at the maximum level. The main reason is that the keyboard warriors with a God's perspective are invincible.
"Why isn't Admiral Su talking?"
Su Xia turned his head and found that Ibuki was standing next to him without him noticing.
"Don't you want to get involved?" Ibuki asked.
"No way..." Su Xia looked at Ibuki. Ibuki was still wearing his uniform today, with his cap off. His smooth black hair reached his waist, and his fierce temperament seemed much softer. " Haven't you been investigating me?"
"Then you should know that I'm not very good at commanding operations." Su Xia said, "I can't get a say."
"I don't know." Ibuki said.
Ibuki leaned on the electronic sand table, crossed his arms and said, "I have never heard that Admiral Su can't command a battle. I just heard from Ella that Admiral Su often watched everyone fighting and cursed, 'Why are you always hitting randomly?', 'You are a bad tank again', 'Why are you hitting a low-health destroyer?', 'Don't you know that you are hitting a battleship?', 'Can this also be scratched?', 'Can't you dodge?' and so on. It doesn't seem like he doesn't know how to command a battle."
Su Xia smiled, he recalled his previous experience of playing games, in which there were very few parts of the battles in the game that players could operate, or even none at all. It was almost completely random which enemy the ship girls attacked. If you were unlucky, you might suffer unnecessary losses in a battle that was clearly a winning streak, or you might be about to kill the deep-sea flagship but fail due to a "god-like" operation. The focus here is on Hu De, as this would inevitably lead to cursing.
Su Xia didn't know how to explain it. He was just angry because he was not happy. He didn't have any unique insights into commanding operations. He smiled and said, "Is it particularly bad to be a swearing admiral?"
"You can scold me, but I still helped rub everyone's backs afterwards, didn't I?" Ibuki said, "And I insist that stupid operations deserve scolding."
"No, that's not the case." Su Xia said, "Some idiots are not fools, because when attacking, you must do your best to maintain the power of the ship. Sometimes you can't think too much and can only see which enemy is within range and attack which enemy."
Even if this type of game situation also occurs in real life, I wonder if it can be considered a coincidence?
"I don't understand." Ibuki said, "I've never fought or practiced, and my training level is still the same."
"Ibuki clearly wants to become a powerful ship girl." Su Xia said, "Why not?"
"No matter how high the training level is, a heavy cruiser will never be able to surpass those battleships, right?" Ibuki said, "Even among heavy cruisers, Ibuki is super weak, right?"
Su Xia opened her mouth to comfort Ibuki, but in the end, no words came out. Ibuki was a mature queen, and false praise was an insult to her. She couldn't say nothing, so she could only give a vague answer. "It's okay."
"What do you mean 'alright'?" Ibuki asked.
Su Xia really wanted to say that it was perfunctory.
"It means that it is not as good as the best, but better than the worst." Su Xia thought for a while and said, "There are many heavy cruisers that are weaker than Ibuki, and there are also many heavy cruisers that are stronger than Ibuki." The Des Moines-class heavy cruiser has the strength to be transformed into other heavy cruisers even before it is modified. If it is modified, it may be able to surpass some weak battleships.
"Ibuki hasn't been transformed yet, right? Who knows how strong she will be after the transformation?" Su Xia said, "I have seen many weak ship girls become powerful after transformation, really many. Ibuki may not be impossible. I really don't understand why you are complaining about yourself."
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "The historical Ibuki was a blueprint ship, and it was not completed until the end of the war. Regarding Ibuki, the navy once considered converting her into a high-speed supply oiler, but finally decided to convert her into a light aircraft carrier. In other words, Ibuki, who is now a ship girl, is likely to become a light aircraft carrier after the conversion."
"As a heavy cruiser, Ibuki may not be the best." Su Xia said, "If it is transformed into a light aircraft carrier, I believe Ibuki will definitely not be weak."
Anyway, in the game, Su Xia firmly believes that the combat effectiveness of Ibuki, which has been transformed into a light aircraft carrier, is absolutely excellent.
Ibuki looked at Su Xia, who seemed a little concerned, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Ibuki said, "Admiral Su is very good at comforting people."
"I'm not trying to comfort you." Su Xia said, "This is the truth."
"I hope so." Ibuki seemed quite pessimistic.
The combined fleet spent a day to wipe out all the weak deep-sea fleets, and began to suppress the slightly stronger deep-sea fleets the next day. In Su Xia's opinion, this was the second level. The difficulty of the second level was just that, and it was still a piece of cake for the combined fleet.
By the third day, all the weak deep-sea fleets were destroyed, leaving some powerful deep-sea fleets. Although they were still not as powerful as the combined fleet, they were enough to pose a considerable threat to the deep-sea fleet. After one morning, only two deep-sea fleets were destroyed and two people were injured. Now it was a question of whether to return or continue the attack.
Ibuki has nothing to do these days so he talks to Su Xia.
"Does Admiral Su think the Combined Fleet is weak?"
"No." Su Xia said, he should know himself. If it weren't for the game, it would be a question whether he could become an admiral. Even if he became an admiral by chance, think about how everyone is so good and only has such a fleet. It's amazing that he can just get a battleship and build a fleet.
"If it was Admiral Su's fleet and aircraft carrier brigade, it would be enough to bomb all those deep-sea fleets now." Ibuki said. She had seen everyone's equipment, and there were so many B25s that it made people doubt reality.
"Maybe." Su Xia said.
Ibuki looked at the electronic sand table. Judging from what was displayed on the screen, the Combined Fleet really had a problem. She said, "Admiral Su likes the aircraft carrier brigade the most. It can solve all problems with just one opening."
"No." Su Xia said, "I like the Fishy Team the most. The Fishy Team consumes less energy... It's funny every time I see those deep-sea fleets have no way to deal with my Fishy."
"It's the aircraft carrier team." Ibuki said, "The Yuyu team has low consumption, but it is easy to get hurt when encountering anti-submarine attacks. In contrast, the aircraft carrier team is not afraid of anything except the deep-sea fleet where the deep-sea flagship is located, especially because of its high efficiency. Unless they are extremely unlucky and miss the enemy, they will not be easily hurt."
Su Xia said nothing. Indeed, he still preferred the aircraft carrier team to the Yuyu team. The aircraft carrier team was not like the Yuyu team, which was easily defeated by anti-submarine warfare. As long as they brought enough fighters, they were not afraid of the enemy's aircraft carriers. Although the consumption was a bit high, that little consumption was nothing to his garrison. High efficiency was everything.
"Is Akagi really that strong?" Ibuki said, "She surpassed Lexington, Saratoga, Enterprise, Yorktown... so many people and became the flagship of Admiral Su's aircraft carrier group."
Ibuki is Japanese, so naturally he cares about Akagi, which is also Japanese. Especially from a historical perspective, Akagi is not really a very strong aircraft carrier.
"It's mainly because of her strong skills." Su Xia said. He thought that Akagi's physique was really not that good, but her skills guaranteed her position.
"Akagi is truly amazing," Ibuki said, "She was able to become the big sister of the Japanese faction even with the historical Combined Fleet flagship Nagato."
Su Xia looked at Ibuki and said, "You seem to know a lot about our tutelary fort. It seems you have investigated it in detail."
"Yes, the investigation was very detailed." Ibuki said, "Is Xiaozhai really that cute?"
"The cutest in the world." Su Xia said without hesitation.
"Is Quincy really OvO?"
"real."
“What’s the food like in London?”
"It's indescribable."
"As an adult, wouldn't you feel guilty about doing that to a child?"
"I never hit a child."
"Little Changchun?"
"No."
"A colorful world?"
"Can't understand."
"If there is something wrong, correct it. If there is nothing wrong, try your best."
"You're a bit annoying."
After chatting for a while, Su Xia found that Ibuki really knew him and his tutelary fort very well.
"Who told you I have so many things?" Su Xia said, "Ella or Sable."
"Many people," Ibuki replied.
Su Xia nodded without comment and waited until the evening to tell everyone about this matter.
Missouri thought.
