Chapter 637: The Heavy Patrol Sisters
I thought Christmas was the only thing to do, but there was already a lot to do at Christmas. Who knew there would be New Year and a mock exercise. There were really a lot of things to do in December. Su Xia did not finish breakfast with Dafeng the next day. The main reason was that the foodie girl was too hungry to accompany her, so she went to the office early.
"I gave the Christmas planning work to Missouri, and she said to hand in the plan tomorrow..." The company reported its work to Su Xia.
"And then?" Su Xia picked up the red teacup and blew a breath towards the rising hot steam.
"And then what?" Enterprise asked puzzled.
"How do you plan the New Year activities?" Su Xia asked.
"What New Year's event?" Once a shipgirl joins the garrison, she will celebrate various festivals with the admiral. Enterprise knows how important the Spring Festival is to the admiral. Isn't it at least a month away? "Are you talking about New Year's Day? Do we have to celebrate New Year's Day in a big way?"
Su Xia smiled and pretended: "Don't you know that Japan celebrates the Gregorian New Year, not the Lunar New Year."
Enterprise downplayed the situation by saying, “I don’t know anything about that Japanese group.”
Su Xia was speechless about Enterprise's attitude and said, "Enterprise, as a secretary ship, actually doesn't know about the public New Year celebrations in Japan. This is somewhat unqualified."
"It's indeed not up to standard." Qiye said jokingly that she had no intention of suppressing Japanese products deliberately and she really didn't understand those things.
"Anyway, now you know?" Su Xia said, "We also need to prepare for the New Year's event."
"Okay." The company agreed.
Su Xia stared at the company for a while, then said worriedly, "Otherwise, you can take care of the Christmas event, and I'll let other people take care of the New Year event."
"Admiral, don't you believe me?" Enterprise said, "I won't deliberately target the Japanese."
"No, it's not that I don't trust enterprises." Su Xia said, "I believe in enterprises. Enterprises like to be upright, like open schemes and hate conspiracies, and never play tricks."
"I am worried," Su Xia paused and said, "The company doesn't even know how Japan celebrates the Gregorian New Year, so how can they organize a good New Year event? It would be ridiculous if they organize a weird New Year event. It's better to leave the New Year event to those Japanese companies. If it goes wrong, it will be their fault and no one else can be blamed."
"Okay." Qiye said, feeling a little reluctant when she thought about how she was busy running around for the Japanese New Year activities.
"Who in Japan is good at planning?" Su Xia asked. He had some plans in mind, but he still wanted to ask the company.
"Mutsu, Myoko, Haguro, Tenryu, Tatsuta?" Enterprise said, "Admiral, you can ask Akagi."
Su Xia talked about the simulation exercise again. Although there was no definite news about the simulation exercise, the simulation exercise could be conducted at any time. If you don't know, forget it. If you know, you must inform the secretary ship.
A morning passed just like that.
At lunch, Su Xia found Chi Cheng, her plate was full of food, and hoped that she could recommend a few people to take charge of the New Year's activities. Chi Cheng's recommendation was similar to that of the company.
"I, I, I, Admiral, please leave the planning of the New Year activities to me." Zuikaku knew that Su Xia wanted to plan the New Year activities in a Japanese style, and excitedly recommended himself.
"Let me say first, I won't participate." Dafeng was not interested in planning New Year activities at all - otherwise, if she had one night to whisper in the emperor's ear, it would be a piece of cake to get a position in planning New Year activities - watching videos, enjoying delicious food and writing novels, she was too busy with many things every day to take care of anything else.
Zuikaku's original plan was to bring her good friend Dafeng into her planning team. As a talented beautiful young woman writer, Dafeng must have many unusual ideas to ensure that the New Year activities would be eye-catching. Unexpectedly, Dafeng guessed her idea at once and said, "Dafeng, you are too lazy and don't have any dreams at all."
"What are the benefits of planning New Year activities?" Dafeng asked back.
Zuikaku looked at Suxia, hoping that he could persuade Zuikaku.
"There is basically no benefit." Su Xia said.
"Then please forgive me for not being able to help you." Taifeng finished eating the strawberry daifuku and attacked the dumpling, saving the good stuff for last.
"I'm not saying that Ruihe, you really can't be the chief planner." Su Xia said bluntly, "If you just want to participate in the planning activities, you don't necessarily have to accompany Dafeng to participate... Anyway, I remind you that I agree with your participation in the planning, but you are not allowed to give up halfway."
"After thinking about it, I decided to forget it." Zuikaku still had some self-awareness. She just wanted to join in the fun.
Su Xia finally found Miao Gao and gave her the task of planning the New Year event. She could find the candidates herself and write a plan for the funds she wanted and ask the office for reimbursement.
Next, after all the arrangements were made, Su Xia would check on the progress almost every day, but that was all, because he still had a lot of things to do. From August when he traveled to the garrison to December now, he knew every ship girl and had talked to them, but there were still many ship girls he had not communicated with properly.
Communicating with those ship girls who I haven't communicated with properly yet, while helping everyone prepare for Christmas and New Year activities, is really a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
That afternoon, in the cafe located in the commercial area of the garrison, Su Xia sat opposite the royal sister with purple long hair tied into a single ponytail and said, "Pensacola will definitely participate in the Red and White Song Festival."
Pensacola, the first ship of the Pensacola-class heavy cruiser of the United States.
Historically, Pensacola was America's earliest treaty heavy cruiser. It participated in the Battle of Midway as an escort for aircraft carriers, and took part in the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Battle of Tassafaronga, and many battles from the Gilberts to Okinawa. Although it encountered danger many times, it survived in the end.
After the war, Pensacola participated in Operation Crossroads and survived two nuclear explosion tests. She was then officially retired and her hull was used for radiation research. Finally, she was sunk as a target ship off the coast of Washington State.
With such an experience, is the Pensacola a lucky ship or an unlucky ship?
The Pensacola in the game had mediocre combat power before the modification, but after the modification, it has top combat power among heavy cruisers. The individual combat capability of heavy cruisers is quite strong. It is an indispensable member of the heavy cruiser fleet, and the key illustration is also quite cute.
"Why should I participate in the Red and White Songs Contest?" Pensacola tapped the table with his slender fingers. "The Red and White Songs Contest is a Japanese New Year event, right?"
There are no secrets in the naval base. As Suxia gave the task of preparing the New Year activities to Myoko, Myoko started to get busy. Now everyone knows that in addition to the Christmas activities, the naval base also has New Year activities.
Pensacola is an American city, and as an American city, they are not that interested in Japanese activities.
"It's not a Japanese New Year event, it's our garrison's New Year event." Su Xia said, "It seems that the Christmas event is not only an event for you, Britain, America, and France, but also an event for the entire garrison."
"You deny New Year's activities, thinking that they are Japanese activities. Can I assume that you agree with Christmas activities, thinking that they are activities belonging to your Anglo-American and French activities, and no one else can participate?" Su Xia asked, "Does it mean that I can't participate, does the Fisheries Administration not participate, does Yixian, Chongqing, Changchun... everyone can't participate?"
"That's not what I meant," Pensacola explained.
"I think that's what you mean." Su Xia said.
"Okay, my bad." Pensacola surrendered. "The Red and White Song Contest is not a Japanese show. It's a show for all of us in the naval base."
"Why is the admiral so good at flattering people?" Pensacola asked.
"I'm not trying to flatter someone, that's the truth." Su Xia asked, "So Pensacola is willing to participate in the Red and White Song Festival, right?"
"Why me?" Pensacola said with a headache, "The Admiral should ask Quincy, she will definitely be willing to participate."
"Quincy will definitely participate in the Red and White Song Contest. It will be meaningless if she doesn't participate. Everyone is looking forward to her and Aoba's exciting match at the Red and White Song Contest." Su Xia added, "And Prince Eugen will definitely participate."
"That's enough," Pensacola said.
"How can just three of us be enough?" Su Xia provoked, "The main attraction of the Red and White Song Contest is the match between the American and Japanese forces, the match between the firepower heavy cruiser and the torpedo heavy cruiser... I think Pensacola is afraid, afraid of losing to the Japanese, to Aoba, and to Kaohsiung."
“But——” Pensacola still wanted to refuse.
"No buts." Su Xia said.
"But..." Pensacola said, "I can't sing. How can I go to the Red and White Song? Will I be embarrassed?"
"Pensacola actually said that he can't sing?" Su Xia didn't believe it.
"Why does the Admiral think I can sing?" Pensacola also knew a little bit, "Is it because I look like that singing character in some anime?"
Su Xia thought about why he insisted that Pensacola could sing. It seemed that it was really because when he was playing games before, he saw that Pensacola's portrait was very similar to a singing character in a certain anime.
Su Xia was a little skeptical and asked seriously, "Can Pensacola really not sing?"
"I can still sing a little." Pensacola smiled.
Su Xia clapped her hands and said, "I told you, how could a heavy tour idol not be able to sing... I'm looking forward to their performance at the Pensacola Red and White Song Festival."
Pensacola held his chin and looked at Su Xia.
"Pensacola won't refuse, will she?" Su Xia looked at Pensacola. Such a powerful and beautiful ship girl must have been married a long time ago. She is now his wedding ship. He really wants to see Pensacola sing at the Red and White Song Festival, just like the character in that anime. "I want to see Pensacola sing on stage. She must be dazzling."
"If the admiral wants me to sing at the Red and White Song Contest, that's fine too," Pensacola said suddenly.
"What does Pensacola want to say?" Suxia asked. "What does Pensacola want me to do?"
Pensacola tilted his head.
Su Xia looked in the direction Pensacola turned his head, and saw a dark-skinned lady with spiral golden curly hair lying on the table playing with her cell phone.
That's Salt Lake City, the second ship of the Pensacola-class heavy cruiser.
Salt Lake City once visited Australia when the Pacific War broke out, and luckily escaped the attack on Pearl Harbor. It has a lot of combat experience, and due to good luck, it did not suffer major losses in a series of fierce battles until it was severely damaged in the Battle of Commander, and finally participated in Operation Crossroads.
The Salt Lake City in the game is not like its sister, which means it basically has no chance to attack. Compared to its sister, it has no clothes to wear and even lacks lines. No matter what, its portrait is still quite cute.
"Is there any problem in Salt Lake City?" Su Xia asked.
"I thought the Admiral was better than before, but he still looks the same." Pensacola said, "Don't you know what's wrong with Salt Lake City?"
"I really don't know." Su Xia asked, "Is there anything Salt Lake City needs my help with?"
Yanhu City raised his eyes and glanced at Su Xia, then answered with a lack of energy: "No."
"No, Salt Lake City said no." Su Xia looked towards Pensacola.
"Just because she said she didn't have it, did she?" Pensacola said, "She has been so lazy and listless all day long, and has no energy at all. I hope the admiral can help her."
"How can I help?" Su Xia asked.
"Why would I ask you to do anything if I know how to help?" Pensacola said, "She won't go to the drill, she won't , she won't go out for more walks, she either lies on her stomach or plays with her phone all day."
Su Xia looked at Salt Lake City and asked, "Why does Salt Lake City either lie down or prone all day long?" It is really curious that such a big-breasted and long-legged lady would have such a personality.
"What do you think, Admiral?" Salt Lake City said, "Isn't it more comfortable to lie down than to stand?"
"That's true." Su Xia nodded, and then noticed Pensacola's stern gaze, "Is the cell phone so fun?"
"Aren't cell phones fun?" Salt Lake City asked.
Su Xia was speechless. Of course this phone is fun. Who can live without a phone in this day and age?
"I took your cell phone." Pensacola said viciously. Although he said that, his sister was an adult, not a child anymore, and he couldn't continue to use that kind of method. You know, even Bismarck didn't take Bei Zhai's cell phone.
"Put it away." Salt Lake City held up her phone, "Really, it's so boring." It seemed that she didn't even like her phone very much, it was just a boring pastime.
Pensacola looked at Suxia with a helpless expression. This was her sister, the sister who gave her a headache.
Su Xia looked at Salt Lake City, and for a moment, there was nothing she could do.
"What does Pensacola want Salt Lake City to become?" Su Xia thought for a moment and asked. This was not only to complete Pensacola's mission, but as an admiral, he didn't want to see his ship girl look like that.
“Just a little more energy,” Pensacola said.
"I know." Su Xia was silent for a moment and then suddenly shouted, "Salt Lake City."
"Yeah." Salt Lake City responded weakly.
"Playing computer games?" Su Xia asked. "Playing games?"
"Eh?" Salt Lake City tilted her head. She was asked by Su Xia and didn't know what kind of medicine the admiral sold in his gourd.
"Admiral!" Pensacola shouted expressionlessly.
"Calm down, calm down." Su Xia raised her hands towards Pensacola to signal her not to worry. "The first thing we need to do now is to get Salt Lake City motivated, right? A fun game can motivate people, right?"
"That won't work either," Pensacola said. "I can't let Salt Lake City become a homebody."
"Discrimination against otaku girls." Su Xia said.
“No discrimination,” Pensacola said, “My sister can’t be a stay-at-home girl anyway.”
"That's discrimination," said Su Xia.
Salt Lake City always stays on the table.
