Chapter 665: Simulation Exercise is Coming
The New Year is here. Holidays are always so short and it’s soon time to go back to work.
Su Xia, who had long known the information about the second phase of the simulation exercise, arrived at the office at ten o'clock as usual. He had no intention of dealing with the trivial matters in the garrison. In fact, everyone had already dealt with them, and all that was left for him to review and sign was a bit uninteresting. He had been waiting for a call from Zidane, but he didn't get any call or message after waiting for a whole morning.
After a good sleep at noon, Su Xia gave up his expectations in the afternoon. He could start the simulation exercise at any time when Zidane called him... In fact, he still cared about it very much. He hated the unresolved issues that made it difficult to decide on plans.
In short, Su Xia did not go to work this afternoon. Perhaps accompanying the ship girl is the most important job for an admiral. He came to the villa where the Fletcher-class destroyer family lived. The villa was quite large, and everything including the garden was well organized. It can only be said that Fletcher worked hard.
On the left, the little goblin Sigsby was hugging his arm, and on the right, the little cutie Clarkson was sleeping on his lap. Su Xia, who was enjoying himself, looked at O'Bannon who was sitting on a chair beside him and changing channels with the remote control, and said, "O'Bannon, let's go get some baked potatoes sometime."
"Okay." Of course O'Bannon would not refuse the admiral's invitation.
"Call Lu 34 along." The reason why Su Xia made that invitation was that he still remembered the promise he made to Lu 34.
"Why are you calling that an idiot?" O'Bannon put down the remote control when he couldn't find a show he liked. Willy immediately took it away because she wanted to watch cartoons.
Su Xia looked up when he heard a familiar voice coming from the TV. He looked at the TV and saw "Rick and Morty" playing on it. That cartoon was incredible. He looked at Willy holding the remote control with some surprise, but that was all. He said, "Why did O'Bannon call him an idiot?"
"If you're scared by a potato and run away, you're either a fool or something," O'Bannon said as a matter of course.
"Everyone gets nervous and makes misjudgments sometimes," said Su Xia.
"Were there any times when the Admiral was nervous and made misjudgments?" Willy turned her head, her big eyes shining. She wanted to hear the story.
"Go watch your cartoons." Su Xia waved at Willy. He didn't want to make fun of the embarrassing things he did accidentally. He thought for a moment and said, "In history, the Lu 34 was scared by O'Bannon's potatoes and fled and finally sank. Now, as a ship girl, Lu 34 has a psychological effect on potatoes and hates potatoes."
"Potatoes are the greatest food in the world." God knows where O'Bannon pulled a potato out of her skirt and held it up.
"So," Su Xia snickered, "we make potatoes into mashed potatoes, French fries, potato chips and baked potatoes for Lu 34 to eat. What do you think will happen? Will it be interesting? He is very afraid of potatoes and eats them with gritted teeth..."
O'Bannon's eyes lit up. She was a sensible child, but she was also a child.
Su Xia smiled, thinking that he was simply a genius, bringing together Lu 34 and O'Bannon with ease.
"I want to join in, too." Willy raised his hand. "Stuff firecrackers into a potato and give it to Lu 34. When she eats it, it will explode. This will surely make her never dare to touch potatoes again." In the garrison, no one was more daring than her.
"Be quiet," Su Xia said. "If you keep talking, I'll feed you London food."
"I'm sorry." Willy was completely obedient. After all, there was something that could conquer her.
Da da da——
That was the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
Su Xia looked towards the stairs and saw a girl with blue hair and a ponytail walking down the stairs. It was Halford.
Halford, a member of the Fletcher-class destroyer.
Historically, Halford participated in the Battle of the Marianas and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and received a total of thirteen battle stars in World War II.
The Halford in the game has no modifications and no skills, and is really quite inconspicuous.
Su Xia looked at Halford, and no matter how she looked at it, it seemed inappropriate.
Halford is obviously a member of the Fletcher-class destroyer, but she is an out-and-out girl, tall, with plump breasts and tight thighs. She is not like those lolis, and she looks much older than Fletcher, the big sister of the Fletcher-class destroyer.
Among elementary school students, is there always one girl who is taller than everyone else?
Su Xia thought that the ship girl came from people's thoughts and wishes, because in history, Halford was the only one of the three Fletcher-class destroyers equipped with a catapult to launch a floating seaplane - limited by the lack of mobile reconnaissance and long-range reconnaissance, the US military thought of carrying aircraft on destroyers to share some of the long-range reconnaissance tasks - although it turned out that it was not operationally suitable for its intended purpose. Did it give people the impression that Halford was relatively large?
Halford noticed that Su Xia's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then quickly moved to her sisters, and then returned to her. He smiled bitterly and said, "Admiral, please stop looking at me. I don't know why there is such a big difference between me and my sisters."
"It doesn't matter." Chungmu said that she belongs to the South Korean Navy, but her predecessor was the U.S. Navy's Fletcher-class destroyer Urban, so she often visits the villa where the Fletcher-class destroyer family lives. "No matter how big the gap is, we are sisters."
Su Xia looked at Zhongwu, she was wearing a cute skirt, beautiful brown wavy hair draped over her shoulders, big, really big, he thought to himself you just empathize with Halford, neither of you looks like a primary school destroyer.
"Don't look." Zhongwu noticed Su Xia's gaze, put his hands on his chest, and lowered his head shyly.
"What to look at and what not to look at." Su Xia said pretending to be confused.
He knew very well that explanation was cover-up, and cover-up meant it was true.
"No?" Zhongwu said to himself.
Su Xia noticed that Sigsby was looking at him. The little goblin was jealous and restless. He tried to change the subject. Seeing that Halford was wearing a baseball cap and a baseball uniform and looked like he was going to play baseball, he asked, "Is Halford going to play baseball?"
"Yeah," Halford said. "Want to go have some fun, Admiral?"
"I can't," said Su Xia. He has never played baseball, and at most he has seen some baseball clips in some cartoons. Limited venues, limited conditions, limited promotion, and there are also political reasons, such as baseball has been removed from the Olympics, and baseball is too niche in China.
"I can teach the admiral." Halford said excitedly.
Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "We can try... but the two of us might not be enough. Has Halford invited anyone else?"
"No," Halford said. She was just going to play the baseball machine. "It's enough for everyone to go together."
The lazy white-haired Loli Ka Xinyang lay on the armrest of the sofa, with her hands hanging outside the armrest, her fingertips still far from the ground, like a big salted fish: "I'm not going."
Cassin Young, DD-793, one hundred and sixty-third sister of Fletcher.
The historical Cassin Young was named after Colonel Cassin Young, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic resistance during the attack on Pearl Harbor. After serving in the army, he mainly performed a series of radar sentry missions. During the Battle of Okinawa, he faced a large wave of kamikaze planes and shot down several kamikaze planes. Although severely damaged, he did not sink. He relied on his own strength to return to the port for repairs and was awarded a Navy Commendation.
The Kasim Yang in the game has no modifications, no skills, and a modified portrait. Regardless of the new portrait, her combat power is too poor. Most players still only care about strength. She was once one of the common destroyer hells, so much so that no one even wants to see her.
"Sister Kafao should not lie still all day long. She should move around occasionally," Halford said. "Be careful not to grow up."
"Like Veneto, who can't grow up?" Willy interrupted, and then was hit on the head with a potato by O'Bannon.
"Doesn't Kafain want to grow up?" Halford said, "like Sister Fletcher."
As the younger sister, Halford lacks self-awareness and in her sister's eyes, she is the most superior.
Kasim Yang opened his mouth, and Halford's eyes lit up as he watched this scene, then he immediately became disappointed.
"My name is not Ka Xinyang, my name is Ka Xinyang." It turned out that Ka Xinyang didn't listen to her at all.
Some people have no interest in baseball at all, and naturally some people are interested in baseball.
"I'm going to play baseball." Blonde loli Charles put down the game console.
Charles Ausborn, DD-570, is a member of the Fletcher-class destroyer family.
Charles was the flagship of the famous 23rd Destroyer Squadron, also known as the Little Beaver Squadron. In the Battle of the Solomon Islands, the 23rd Squadron made many contributions, the most famous of which was the Battle of St. George. After the victory of the war, the 23rd Squadron received the Presidential Collective Citation, becoming the only Fletcher destroyer squadron to receive this honor during World War II.
Compared with the historical Charles, the Charles in the game seems a little obscure. He has no transformation and no skills, and there is nothing special about his portrait. His only function is to increase the player's collection rate of illustrations and help Fletcher on his way to the Star Destroyer. I hope that he can make a big splash with the transformation in the future.
"The Beavers are under my command," Charles said. "It's time to play baseball."
"No, I don't want to play baseball." Clarkston lay on Su Xia's lap and played with his phone. No matter how prestigious Charles was in history, Charles as a ship girl was not prestigious enough. She joined the garrison too late, never participated in exercises, and never went on a mission. You can imagine how little she had practiced.
"The admiral will go too," Charles said temptingly.
Clarkston hesitated.
"Whether the admiral goes or not, I won't go." Dyson curled up on the sofa and played the game console.
"I don't want to go either." Converse leaned against Dyson, wagging his tail.
"You're all disobedient, aren't you?" Charles put his hands on his hips.
Although many people are unwilling to participate, the Fletcher-class destroyers have a large number of people, so they can still gather so many people. Of course, the number of people is definitely not enough, unless all the Fletcher-class destroyers are deployed, but there are ways to play with more people and with fewer people.
Located on the baseball field inside the naval gymnasium.
Halford talked about the rules of baseball, starting with the simplest pitching, how to hold the bat, how to swing it, how to catch the ball, what a home run means, how to play if there are enough people, and what to do if there are fewer people now...
Su Xia was listening very carefully at first, but soon she became distracted. The reason was very simple - not far from the baseball field was a tennis court where Lexington, Saratoga, Constellation and Princeton were playing tennis. Lexington was wearing a tennis cap, had long flaxen hair tied into a ponytail, and was wearing a white tennis dress. He looked so cute on the tennis court.
As an adult and an admiral, no matter how excited he was, Su Xia kept his word and never left the baseball field.
Su Xia played with the other girls for a while. Sigsby was a cheerleader, jumping up and down to cheer for him. Clarkston didn't like sports, but that didn't stop her from being a spectator. When Su Xia got tired and took a break, she brought him mineral water and a towel to wipe his sweat.
Su Xia didn't play for too long because his level was too poor. As a pitcher, his pitches often went off target. As a batsman, he couldn't hit the ball with the bat, even the opponent had the same problem. He even got hit on the head when catching the ball. He soon felt bored and sat down in the audience seats.
"Admiral, are you okay?" Clarkson, who was sitting in the audience, felt heartbroken when he saw Su Xia being hit by a baseball.
"It's okay." Su Xia said. This was not to comfort Claxton. He was wearing a helmet, and Lori's ball didn't have much power.
"Does it hurt?" Clarkston stood in front of Su Xia and gently lifted the hair from his forehead.
"It doesn't hurt." Su Xia replied.
"Let me see." Sigsby moved closer to Claxton.
Clarkston was just an admiral, and Sigsby was a little fairy. She held Su Xia's head and kissed him on the forehead, saying, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, just a kiss will do."
Su Xia pinched Sigsby's cheek. Fortunately, it was just a little goblin. It would be terrible when it grows up.
After calming down the two little girls, Su Xia scratched her hair and suddenly asked, "Claxton, Sigsby, do you think my hair is a little long?"
"Still as handsome as ever," Claxton replied, answering the question irrelevantly.
Su Xia knew Clarkston and didn't expect any advice from her, so she looked at Sigsby.
"It's a little long," Sigsby said.
"I'm going to get a haircut." Su Xia stood up.
Su Xia left and went to the tennis court first. Lexington heard that he was going to get a haircut and wanted to help, but he declined. It was not that he did not trust her haircutting skills, but he was used to having a haircut at a prestigious barbershop. He found a prestigious barbershop in the afternoon, and afternoon tea had just ended. A simple thinning and short cut was enough. He hated taking care of his hair every day.
Su Xia stayed in the reputation room that night. He had to admit that the final weapon of the reputation was too strong. He planned to find an opportunity to urge the decisive weapon to counterattack.
When Su Xia went to work the next day, she had forgotten about the simulation exercise, and then Zidane called.
The second phase of the simulation exercise is here.
