Chapter 707: Self-recommendation
The next morning.
Su Xia met Detroit who called him yesterday. The girl was cute and lovely, with orange waist-length hair and thick bangs. She wore a loose coat and hid her hands in the long sleeves. She even hid her hands in her sleeves when she was playing with her phone. She looked even cuter than he had imagined.
"Originally it was Cotton El's job... Little Bit could actually do the job, but she had something urgent to do, so I knew Little Bit was unreliable, so I took over the job." Detroit started complaining as soon as he saw Su Xia.
"I don't want to work." Detroit sat down on a bench by the roadside.
Detroit suddenly noticed a blonde girl looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" Detroit asked. "Any questions?"
"Are you Detroit?" The sneaky blonde girl is Suxia's sister-in-law Saratoga.
"Yeah, I'm Detroit." Detroit asked, "Who are you?"
"I am," said Saratoga, "Lexington."
"Lexington?" Detroit tilted her head and looked at Saratoga. She saw a black lace collar on her neck. "Don't lie to me. You are Saratoga. You must be Saratoga."
Saratoga giggled. She had heard about Detroit and came here to watch.
Detroit, who received Saratoga's affirmation, jumped up in an instant and crossed his arms across his chest.
"Saratoga, don't come over, I'm not afraid of you." Detroit was on high alert.
Saratoga stuck out her tongue, she found it very interesting. Although she had always known that the experiences of battleships in history would affect the current shipgirls, this was the first time she had experienced it herself.
It turns out that Detroit is really afraid of her .
Detroit participated in the ninth Fleet Problem exercise, in which Saratoga played the role of the "bad guy" attacker, attacking Lexington, the "good guy" defender, with Detroit belonging to the Blue Fleet.
During this period, an interesting thing happened: Saratoga, which was preparing for a roundabout attack, encountered the destroyer Blake during the voyage, but because the two sisters looked almost exactly the same, the destroyer did not recognize it as Saratoga. Saratoga then "tricked" Blake into escorting them, and then "opened fire" at the poor destroyer and "sank" it.
The unwilling destroyer captain broke the rules and sent a radio message to the nearby friendly ship Detroit requesting the interception of Saratoga. As a result, Detroit, which came to support, found that she could not defeat this aircraft carrier with both firepower and heavy defense, and was soon "sunk".
It was because of this incident that in order to distinguish Saratoga from Lexington, the Navy painted a black identification strip on the chimney of Saratoga.
Saratoga was overjoyed. Bullying people was really fun.
"Gaga, don't bully others." Omaha, who heard that Detroit had come to the garrison, also rushed over.
From the perspective of battleships, Omaha and Detroit are sisters, but as shipgirls, they cannot be considered sisters unless they are from a naval base. The problem now is that Detroit has no admiral, so there is a possibility that they can become sisters. In short, seeing that everyone has sisters, Omaha also wants a sister.
When Detroit saw Omaha, she felt that he was very close to her, but she did not let her guard down. She was just frightened by Saratoga and asked, "Who are you?"
"Omaha," Omaha said. "Omaha, the first Omaha-class light cruiser."
It turned out to be my sister. Detroit relaxed.
"Hello, Sister Omaha," Detroit said.
"Yeah." Omaha nodded repeatedly. "Detroit sister."
Detroit looked around, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the secretary ship or the assistant? Are you here to greet me as well?"
"No," Omahan said, "I don't have a job... No, I'm just a projectionist because I'm bored. I just heard you were here and came to see me."
"I also want to work, but there are too many people in the garrison. Only a few can work, and most of them can do nothing every day." Ohama wanted to explain. She was afraid that Detroit would treat her as an idler.
Detroit blinked her eyes. She didn't quite understand. You have to know that in the KanColle Headquarters, unless you are a child, you can't eat without working. The KanColle Headquarters does not keep parasites. Of course, the KanColle Headquarters will find jobs for everyone, easy and suitable jobs, but she just doesn't want to work.
"Is it okay not to work here?" Detroit asked cautiously.
"Sure." Omaha said, "Why not?"
The garrison can keep idle people because everyone is a family.
The KanColle Headquarters is also united, but certainly not as united as the Naval Base.
"What if a deep-sea ship girl appears?" Detroit said, "Don't you need to attack ?"
"No need." Omaha said, "If a deep-sea ship appears, the aircraft carrier fleet will send out their carrier-based aircraft to fly around. Even if a deep-sea flagship appears, the garrison has Lexington, Saratoga, North Carolina, Washington... Missouri is a missile battleship... Anyway, it's not our turn to attack."
"What other jobs are there?" Omaha said, "Secretary ship, office clerk, etc."
"Everyone was vying for the position of secretary-ship. They almost broke their heads to get it... King George V was too scheming, and in the end, he made things worse. The business community was still better." Omaha thought for a moment and said, "The office doesn't need many clerks. There are only a few clerk positions, but there are hundreds of people in the garrison. It won't be your turn at all."
"What are the benefits?" Detroit asked anxiously, "If you don't work, you get no money. If you attack, you get a bonus, but if you don't attack, you get nothing and you have to eat dirt."
"If you don't work, you will definitely lose money. If you work, you will definitely earn money, and then you will get bonuses." Omaha said, "Even if you don't work, you will get pocket money every month, and there are various subsidies. When you eat in the cafeteria, you can eat whatever you want, whether it's Chinese food, Japanese food or Western food... I don't know how to explain it."
"If you don't mess around with sports cars or yachts, and you're not a geek, and you just live an ordinary life... you don't have to worry about anything." Omaha said, "I always feel embarrassed to eat and take money from the garrison every day, and I don't have to do anything."
"No, that's not right. Don't lie to me." Detroit said, "Where do you get so much money to support such high consumption?"
"It's from the KanColle headquarters." Omaha said, "Our garrison has destroyed many deep-sea flagships, from the Deep-Sea Bismarck, Tirpitz to the most recent Deep-Sea Taiho, all of them were destroyed by our garrison, so naturally the pay is high. Could it be that our garrison destroyed so many deep-sea flagships, but the pay is comparable to those garrisons that can only fight a few deep-sea destroyers?"
"Yes." Detroit nodded. She thought to herself that the reason she and South Dakota came here today was just for the matter of the deep-sea flagship.
"Um..." Detroit rolled his eyes, licked his lips, and took Omaha's hand. "Are you still accepting people in the garrison?"
"Sister, my sister Omaha." Detroit held Omaha's hand tightly, "Please talk to your admiral for me. I want to join your garrison."
Omaha blinked, she was a little confused.
