Chapter 683 The Only Solution
Su Xia didn't know how to help Fletcher better, so she could only take it one step at a time.
Su Xia drank the coffee, which was both fragrant and bitter, and asked casually, "How many sisters does Fletcher have?"
Su Xia now knew how many ship girls he had, but he had never properly counted how many Fletcher-class destroyers he had. There were too many people on the Fletcher-class destroyers to count in a short time.
"I know." Andrea interrupted, "There are a total of 195 Fletcher- class destroyers, so Fletcher has a total of 194 sisters."
Su Xia glanced at Andrea and said, "I must be talking about our garrison, how many sisters Fletcher has."
"If we count Zhongwu, she was originally Urban. We have a total of twenty Fletcher-class destroyers in our garrison." Fletcher said, "Which means I have nineteen sisters."
"I remember Zhongwu joining the garrison as Zhongwu, right?" Su Xia said. In his impression, Zhongwu was Zhongwu when he joined the garrison in the game, not the Fletcher-class destroyer Urban transformed. He didn't know if her existence could provide attribute bonuses to Fletcher. "She lives with you, right?"
"Yes, Zhongwu lives with us." Fletcher said, "Her room is next to Taylor's room."
Su Xia nodded.
There are eight major systems in the naval base, but not all ship girls belong to these eight systems. The remaining ship girls can live anywhere they want.
"Nineteen sisters, are they all taken care of by Fletcher?" Su Xia asked, "Halford should be able to take care of himself."
Su Xia had a profound influence on Halford. Although it was a destroyer, it felt more mature than a heavy cruiser.
"Why would she take care of herself?" Fletcher said. "She's a child, too."
"Is she still a child? Is she the same as the others?" Su Xia thought of a certain movie scene, and thought about how there was nothing wrong with Halford being a child. "Well, it's okay to be a child."
"Anyway, there are so many sisters who need Fletcher to take care of them." Su Xia said, "Fletcher has worked so hard."
"It's okay." Fletcher was about to cry while eating snacks. Every day was busy, and even at mealtime her sisters would not stop, picking and choosing food, fighting and making noises, and she had to take care of them. For this reason, how long had it been since she had a good snack?
"I understand you." Andrea said, "I also have a sister to take care of. It's hard."
"Andrea, please stop talking." Su Xia couldn't help but speak.
"What do you mean?" Andrea said dissatisfiedly.
"You know what I mean." Su Xia said. He thought to himself, Kayo is so well-behaved and sensible, why does he need care? On the contrary, it is you, the older sister, who needs care from your younger sister.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore." Andrea turned his head, but just turned his head and still stood there motionless.
"Fletcher, don't worry about Andrea." Su Xia said, "No problem, since the admiral is here, the admiral will help Fletcher, and he won't have to work so hard in the future."
Fletcher is also a member of the garrison, an indispensable member. If you want this port area to be filled with everyone's laughter, you naturally cannot avoid Fletcher.
"How is the Admiral going to help Fletcher?" Andrea quickly forgot her bold words.
"The main problem now is that Fletcher has to take care of more than a dozen sisters by himself. Anyone who takes care of so many people at the same time would be tired." Su Xia thought for a while and leaned back in his chair. The warm winter sun shone on him through the huge French windows of the cafe. "As long as Fletcher doesn't have to take care of so many people, he will have time to rest and won't have to work so hard."
"No." Fletcher said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired, Admiral, please don't separate us."
"How did you think I would separate you?" Su Xia said, "I just wanted to find some helpers for you."
"Oh." Fletcher was relieved.
"Let me think about it." Su Xia said to herself, "Helena is the dean of our garrison school. She has a lot of things to do every day, and a bunch of naughty kids need to be disciplined. She is already very busy. Lexington's two sisters need to be taken care of, especially those two sisters who are not easy to deal with. She doesn't have time either."
"How about Colorado? Colorado is still very reliable, a reliable big sister." Su Xia shook her head, "No, she also has two troublesome sisters. Maryland is always making trouble, looking for fights everywhere, and she never stops. West Virginia is similar, either she likes to play pranks, or she is often unreliable, and she has no sense of the importance of things."
Su Xia thought about it and found that he couldn't think of a reliable person to help Fletcher.
"Des Moines?" Su Xia suggested.
"Admiral, don't be fooled by her big breasts. Big breasts don't mean she can take care of others." Andrea said, "It's good enough that she can take care of herself."
"Andrea, you seem to have a lot of complaints about Demaine?" Su Xia's gaze fell on Andrea's chest. The girl also had a flat chest, so that made sense.
"Where are you looking, Admiral?" Andrea put his hands on his hips. "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes."
"No, I didn't look anywhere." Su Xia stopped looking at Andrea and looked at Kayo instead, wondering why there was such a big gap between them when they were obviously sisters.
Andrea followed Su Xia's gaze and saw that Kayo was talking to the Gothic Lion. Kayo's chest was bulging, while her chest was flat. She said angrily, "Kayo is not allowed to look either."
"Andrea, you have a bad temper." Su Xia noticed that the girl had a ferocious expression, and he immediately restrained himself, "Think about it, Demaine probably won't take care of people... Not everyone is Fuso."
"Then I really can't think of who to call to help Fletcher." Su Xia said.
"Don't limit yourself to the American faction," Andrea said. "British faction, Japanese faction, German faction... There are so many people in the garrison, hundreds of them. I don't believe that we can't find a few to help Fletcher."
"The Japanese are ruled out first, otherwise there are many Japanese who can be considered... The relationship between the Japanese and American is still a bit tense." Su Xia thought that the relationship between everyone had been deepened several times through Halloween and Christmas activities, but the gap was not so easy to eliminate. "Then what about the Germans? There are so many Z-drives and U-boats that need to be taken care of, and they don't have enough manpower themselves."
"The British." Andrea said, "The British have so many maids, and there are fewer British children."
Su Xia sighed deeply, pressed her palm to her forehead, and said, "The problem with the British is not that there are more children, but that there are more young ladies... Miss Hood, His Majesty King George V of England, the Prince of Wales is the prince, and Lion is the queen, and London must be guarded by someone... The British are that adults need more care than children."
Andrea was speechless.
"Let me think about it again. It doesn't have to be Helena or Lexington. As long as someone helps Fletcher share the burden, it will be fine." Su Xia asked, "What does Fletcher think?"
"Huh?" Fletcher had no idea at all.
"It seems that Fletcher has no other ideas. I'll let him think about it." Su Xia thought, "Tennessee and California are more relaxed... Omaha is also quite relaxed. No, she doesn't seem to be too idle working in the cinema."
"Well..." Su Xia hesitated, "What do you think of Wichita?"
"I'd better take care of my sister myself." Fletcher thought about it. Tennessee is a tomboy, California is a car fanatic, and Wichita is too heroic. She can't trust any of them.
"It seems like Fletcher is worried about them." Su Xia said with a smile.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable either," Andrea interrupted.
Su Xia glanced at the girl. He really wanted to say that you are even more unreliable than them. If you want this port area to be filled with everyone's laughter and Kayo to smile again, you are a problem that must be solved.
"There is no way to find someone to help Fletcher take care of his sister, and Fletcher is worried about everyone... We can try to change our thinking." Su Xia said, "We can try to let everyone be independent, take care of themselves as much as possible, clean up their own rooms, and do things within their ability, so that Fletcher will have less work to do."
"No," Fletcher said.
"Why not?" Su Xia said, "Fletcher can try it. If it doesn't work, we can talk about it later."
"I've tried it," Fletcher said. "The result is that if you don't help them, they won't clean their rooms if you don't help them, and their clothes will be scattered everywhere. Even if you don't help them wash their clothes, they will keep wearing those clothes and won't change... Mainly, if you don't help them, they will keep shouting and keep following you."
Su Xia smiled.
"Be brave," Su Xia said, "They are like this now because they know you will definitely help them. Why don't you try to help them for a month or two? By then, they will definitely do the housework themselves."
Andrea clapped his hands and said, "I support the admiral's idea."
"I'm more tired, just a little more tired," said Fletcher.
"Fletcher, don't be too pampered with them. Be tough." Su Xia advised, "Even if you can still take care of so many people now, there will definitely be more Fletcher-class destroyers in the future, thirty or forty. Will you still be able to take care of them by then?"
"No problem." Fletcher said firmly, "I won't let my sister suffer any injustice."
Su Xia looked at Fletcher, and he thought of Fletcher's skills again. He felt that Fletcher might be able to take care of any number of sisters. Some people are like this, they become stronger when they meet stronger opponents.
"If Fletcher can't make up his mind, there will be no way for everyone to be independent," said Su Xia.
"I'm sorry," Fletcher said.
"Fletcher, you don't have to say sorry." Su Xia said, "I won't be the one who's tired anyway."
"Admiral, stop making sarcastic remarks and try to help Fletcher think of a solution." Andrea sympathized with Fletcher's experience.
"Don't rush me, you can think of a solution." Su Xia said.
"You are the admiral, and I am not." Andrea said dishonestly.
"Yes, I'm the admiral, I'll find a way." Su Xia pondered for a moment, "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools, right?"
"What do you mean?" Andrea asked.
"Andrea, you are a little ignorant. Don't you understand this?" Su Xia said, "That sentence means that if you want to do something well, preparation is very important."
"It seems that in the cafeteria now, there are only a dozen people preparing meals for hundreds of people in the garrison, and the meals are particularly rich. Under normal circumstances, this is not possible." Su Xia smiled, because the cafeteria reform was one of his major achievements. "But once the tools are in place, such as vegetable cutters, bone cutters, meat grinders, dough mixers, etc., it will be completely sufficient."
"Not to mention washing machines, there are sweeping robots, vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers... and all kinds of cleaning agents, such as degreasing, rust removal, and glue removal..." Su Xia said, "Tools can save you a lot of effort."
"Yes, I have them all," said Fletcher.
"All of them?" Su Xia said, "I thought Fletcher must be very conservative."
"I didn't buy them, they were given to me by others," Fletcher said. "The robot vacuum cleaner was given to me by Dyson. I now have five washing machines at home, and the other five dryers were all bought for me by others with their pocket money. The other two washer-dryers were bought later. Willy often gives me strange things, such as automatic flower watering machines, magic clothes hangers, and clothes folding boards..."
"It seems that everyone cares about you as a sister." Su Xia smiled. He thought of how he had bought all kinds of things for his mother, whether it was food, daily necessities or various home appliances. She could work hard outside, but when she came home, she didn't do any housework and just waited for everything to be provided for her.
"Yeah." Fletcher looked gentle, her sister was so cute.
"Anyway, you have so many things, and you're still so tired..." Su Xia was out of ideas, "That's a bit difficult."
"No, then no," Fletcher said, "It's not that tiring."
"There must be a way." Su Xia also got angry.
"Yes, I have a way." Missouri appeared with coffee in his hand.
"When did Missouri come?" Su Xia asked.
"It's coming once," said Missouri. "Have you not noticed?"
"No." Su Xia asked, "How can you help Fletcher?"
Missouri laughed.
Su Xia felt inexplicably uneasy.
"The solution lies with the admiral," said Missouri.
"On my body?" Su Xia asked.
"Yes, it's on the admiral." Missouri walked over to Suxia and hugged him from behind. "It is well known that the admiral has the ability to heal the ship girl."
"Fletcher, you must be tired from work, right?" Missouri said, "Please, Admiral, just heal me."
"Please explain in more detail. I don't understand." Su Xia said.
"That is to say, Fletcher works hard, but as long as the admiral cares about her, she won't feel tired anymore. It's like a middle-aged office worker who works hard and comes home exhausted, but as long as he sees the bright smiles of his wife and daughter, all his fatigue disappears immediately... Do you understand what I mean?" Missouri said, "Then, admiral, let's stay in Fletcher's room tonight?"
“Although it’s only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure,” Missouri said, “it’s really a good solution.”
"Uh..." Su Xia had no idea how to answer.
Fletcher is the destroyer, Fletcher is the girl, no way.
Fletcher glanced at Su Xia and lowered his head.
