Chapter 85 I Have a Dream
Xiao Zhai struggled to get up, but she still refused to give up and showed her stubbornness to the end.
"Admiral, do you have any evidence that we did it..."
"I didn't say you did it. I didn't say which one of you did it, Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua, or Xiao Luo, or whether you did it together." Su Xia smiled. "I just said that CV-16 found the person who posted the proposal, the blue-eyed, short battleship."
"Hmm..." Xiao Zhai recalled that the admiral did not seem to say who it was, although it was not bad.
Su Xia grinned and said, "I didn't say anything. Why are you so eager to jump out? Aren't you trying to cover up the truth?"
"I, we..." Xiao Zhai stammered, "Anyway, if you want to say we did it... where is the evidence?"
"There is no evidence, and we haven't specifically collected evidence. For now, we are just suspicious because there are too many doubts. For example, why did you only see the proposal? For example, why did you not want everyone to know about this matter..."
"Evidence, evidence." Xiao Zhai shouted loudly, and the louder her voice was, the more guilty she felt.
"There is no evidence, nothing. I just want to ask one question -" Su Xia said, "Did you post the proposal? Did you do this?"
Su Xia smiled gently and asked, "Can I trust you? Xiao Zhai, Xiao Hua and Xiao Luo."
Su Xia paused and said, "As long as you say it's not true, then it's not true. I am willing to believe you. It's definitely not you who did it. Who told me that I am your admiral?"
Xiao Zhai fell down again, lying on the bed and muttering: "Cheating, Admiral cheating, how can you do this..."
Seeing Xiao Zhai's reaction, Su Xia knew that his plan had succeeded, but why was he so sad, as if he had done something excessive and suddenly lost something, and from then on he became an unscrupulous villain, a big bad guy, a bad admiral, and I was obviously the victim.
Xiao Zhai slowly got up, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Yes, we did it, Admiral, you can scold us."
"I won't scold you." Nothing terrible happened, and as long as the little Loli was cute, anything could be forgiven. Su Xia said, "I just want to ask you why you did that." Thinking about what she said when he first met Xiao Zhai, he could actually guess what the three little guys in front of him were going to do.
Xiao Zhai and Xiao Hua are whispering to each other, Xiao Luo is the mascot.
Su Xia waited quietly, and he didn't rush her.
"Go to the activity room, our activity room, and I'll tell you everything." After some discussion, Xiao Zhai said.
"Why do we need to go to the activity room?"
"Anyway, let's go to the activity room and I'll tell you why we do that."
"Okay." Su Xia said, "Let's go now."
"Admiral, you haven't had breakfast yet... maybe lunch. Whatever, you haven't eaten yet anyway." Xiao Zhai said, "Whether it's breakfast or lunch, Madam will definitely save it for you. Go eat first, and then come to the activity room to find us. We'll be waiting for you there."
Then, without waiting for Su Xia's consent, Xiao Zhai jumped off the bed and said, "That's it, we'll leave first, come find us in the activity room after you finish eating."
Xiao Zhai ran the fastest, followed by Xiao Hua, and Xiao Luo was the slowest.
Su Xia watched them disappear at the door, wondering why they had to go to the activity room to confess. But he was really hungry, so he went to Lexington to eat something first. He thought of the little girl in Saratoga again. She probably didn't tell her sister about his night out with Missouri. Anyway, his head hurt.
Su Xia went to find Lexington. He didn't know that the three little ones ran back to their activity room like flying, chattered for a while, then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally started rehearsing...
After staying at Lexington's place for a while, we learned that everyone couldn't wait to go out because he stayed in bed, but everyone would help buy everything a man might need, such as replacement socks, underwear, etc. Even so, if he wanted to go out, he could do so anytime. It was almost one o'clock when Su Xia arrived at the activity room building.
I found Xiao Zhai's activity room with familiarity, only to see that the room was pitch black because the curtains were drawn tightly.
Su Xia once thought that several people had fled for fear of crime, but with the light coming through the gaps in the curtains, she could still see a few little guys.
"Why are you pulling up the window?" Su Xia asked.
Xiao Zhai did not answer, but just said: "Admiral, don't you want to know why we posted the proposal?"
"Um."
"Then don't talk."
"oh."
The curtains were drawn at this time, sunlight poured into the room, and the darkness turned into brightness.
Xiao Zhai was facing the window with his back to him.
The sound rang out.
"A few years ago, a man named Su Xia established a garrison, which is the garrison under our feet now. The establishment of this garrison is like the light of a beacon, bringing hope to the lives of millions of people who are threatened and destroyed by deep-sea warship girls. Its establishment is like the dawn of joy, marking the end of the era of deep-sea warship girls ruling the sea."
The curtains were drawn again and darkness returned.
"However, today, several years later, we must face up to a problem. Although this tutelary fort brought hope to mankind, it did not bring happiness and laughter to the people living in it."
"A few years later, this place is full of prejudice and bullying. Veneto is mocked and OvO is bullied. A few years later, this place is full of struggle and confrontation. Japan, the United States, Britain, and Germany are fighting every day. It is not a friendly and equal harbor for everyone. A few years later, countless people are still huddled in the corner of the garrison, and they realize that they are the ones abandoned by the admiral."
"I am here today to speak out about this appalling situation."
"In a sense, we are here today to demand the fulfillment of a promise. When our admiral established the garrison and brought everyone back to it, he made a promise to everyone with magnificent words. He promised to give everyone happiness and laughter. He promised to be everyone's spiritual harbor, beacon, and lighthouse."
"For most people, the Admiral has obviously not kept his promise. Instead of fulfilling this sacred obligation, the Admiral has simply written everyone a bad check, which has been returned with a stamp of 'insufficient funds'. But we do not believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt, and we do not believe that it cannot even take out this small expenditure. So today we ask him to cash his check, a check that will give us what we should have, happiness and laughter."
Xiao Zhai looked at Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua nodded.
"I came to this place to remind the admiral that now is a very urgent moment. Now is not the time to calm down or take the sedative of gradualism. Now is the time to fulfill his original promise. Now is the time to find everyone from the cold corners, from the abyss of strength and appearance to the bright road of equality for all. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and laughter."
"If the admiral ignores these, it will be a fatal blow to the garrison. A cold garrison without warmth will have no future. If the admiral does not take action to bring order to the garrison and bring happiness , the whirlwind of resentment, quarrels, and indifference will continue to shake the foundation of this garrison."
There was a sound of clapping on the table.
"No, we can't continue like this. This is not just everyone's expectation, it's not everyone's demand. Everyone never likes to fight, everyone never likes to do anything. Originally, as an admiral, he must be clearly aware of this. This is his obligation. When he established this garrison and brought everyone back to the garrison, rights and obligations already appeared."
"We will never be satisfied as long as people are stripped of their equipment and subjected to unspeakable brutality."
"As long as there are people sitting on the bench, ignored by the admiral and subjected to terrible cold violence, we will never be satisfied."
"As long as we are out on an expedition and cannot enjoy the resources we have worked so hard to bring back, we will never be satisfied."
"As long as we, as shipgirls, the embodiment of battleships, cannot even launch an attack, we will never be satisfied."
"As long as there is still one person in our tutelage who is without a single piece of equipment, as long as there is still one person who thinks she is dispensable, we will never be satisfied."
"No! We are not satisfied now, and we will not be satisfied in the future unless happiness and laughter surge like the waves of the river and the sea."
The sound paused, then slowly picked up again.
"At first he ignored those who were not strong enough, but I didn't say anything because I was strong, I was a battleship. Then he ignored those who were not cute or pretty enough, but I didn't say anything because I was cute. Then he learned to get tired of the old and love the new, but I didn't say anything because I... am super cute and will never be ignored."
"But one day he will also ignore me, and I will look around and there will be no one who can speak for me anymore."
"Although I have not been treated unfairly, it does not mean that I can be at peace with myself. I must stand up and speak out."
The curtains were drawn again, Xiao Zhai opened his arms, turned around, pursed his lips and turned back.
"I still have a dream. This dream is deeply rooted in the dream of the tutelary fort."
"I dream that one day our admiral will remember the promise he made in the past - I will make the tutelary fort full of everyone's laughter, I will make the tutelary fort beautiful and wonderful, and become the best tutelary fort in the world."
"I dream that one day, on the beautiful sloping lawn of the tutelary fort, the Japanese and American families will sit together to watch the sunset, Lexington and Shokaku will hold hands, the German and British families will sit together for a picnic, Bismarck will pass a sandwich to Hude, and everyone will celebrate sisterhood together."
"I dream that one day, everyone's status in a tutelary fort will no longer be determined by strength or appearance, but by equality."
“I have a dream.”
"I dream that one day, our admiral will be able to change, even though he still has no awareness of it. But one day, he can recognize himself. He can give everyone the same care, and let everyone feel that they have a place in the admiral's heart, so important. He can fulfill his responsibilities as an admiral, so that there will be no prejudice and bullying in the garrison, and everyone will be united and friendly."
“I had a dream today.”
"I dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will fall, the rough and winding roads will become straight, and the holy light will be revealed and illuminate the world."
"This is our hope. I came here with this faith. With this faith, we will be able to hew a stone of hope from the rock of despair. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling quarrels of this tutelary fort into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
"On the day when happiness and laughter arrive, everyone in the tutelary fort will sing this song with new meaning: 'My tutelary fort, beautiful land of happiness, I sing for you. You are the tutelary fort of our dreams, you are our pride, let happiness and laughter resound in every corner.'"
"If the tutelary fort is to become a happy place, this dream must come true. Let laughter ring out of Kirov's mouth! Let laughter ring out of the mouth of the Bumblebee! Let laughter ring out of the mouth of Vinamoinen!"
All the lights in the room came on, making the room brighter.
The square table that was originally placed in the middle of the activity room had already been moved away, so Xiao Zhai was able to walk straight to him. Xiao Hua pushed a chair over, and Xiao Zhai climbed onto the chair, barely as tall as Su Xia, and she stretched out her little hand towards him.
"I have a dream, Admiral, can you help me realize it?"
What a lame speech and a weird, crude play.
Su Xia wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
It feels like I've experienced this scene once before.
Is it really like that?
Su Xia hesitated and slowly stretched out her hand.
Xiaohua held up the camera.
Sprinkle sequin paper.
