It is Kokang and Changchun

　Especially the private messages on Arizona's personal social media account, from time to time there would be strange people bombarding and insulting her, with all kinds of weird reasons.

　"America won the Second World War, but gradually lost its soul." This is the opinion expressed by Arizona after careful consideration.

　Arizona once asked her sister Pennsylvania, but her sister's answer did not help Arizona see the blue sky.

　Later, Arizona learned from her Iowa-class juniors that carriers generally had strong opinions about the current state of the United States, and Enterprise was a representative example. So she went to talk to Enterprise to see what she thought.

　"Enterprise, you seem to have quite a few complaints about the current situation in the United States, but why do I never feel that you are confused?" Arizona was still as worried as ever.

　Enterprise glanced at Arizona and said frankly, "Senior, all confusion comes from not knowing the why. When you know the why, all confusion will disappear."

　"How can we know why?" Arizona asked without hesitation.

　Enterprise patted Arizona's shoulder and said, "It's simple. You need to be well-educated and have a rich knowledge base. When you have a rich knowledge base, those fallacies of the "God-like" group that once confused you will become ridiculous and even unworthy of refutation."

　By then, you will no longer be confused, but will want to argue with these strange statements.”

　Arizona understood what Enterprise meant, "Well...it means expanding your knowledge and reading more, right?"

　"Reading is important, but what books you read is more important. A good book can benefit people for a lifetime, while a bad book can harm people for a lifetime." The company specifically reminded Arizona.

　"So, Enterprise, do you have any book recommendations?" Arizona decided to read and use knowledge to clear the fog of her inner worldview.

　Enterprise said nothing, but silently handed Arizona an English version of "The Communist Manifesto".

　(Back to the current timeline)

　After Arizona collected the chess pieces, Pennsylvania, who was bold and had a bit of a social sister vibe, came to Pennsylvania's main body to look for her good sister.

　"Arizona, cheer up. You can't be so depressed all the time!" Pennsylvania whistled.

　Arizona sighed and said, "How can I be happy when a powerful enemy invades?"

　"The higher-ups said that the slow-speed battleships will support the land battlefield and serve as the army's meat shields or mobile fortress guns. The battleships' main guns will bombard the army. Isn't that bullying? Even the armored divisions can't withstand it." Pennsylvania was very confident in the battles on land.

　Arizona disagreed. "Sister, I believe that the clashing of large ships and cannons at sea, or the duel of volleys of missiles, is the true purpose of battleships and capital ships."

　She felt that using battleships to fight land battles was a waste of talent.

　Pennsylvania was quite realistic, saying, "We are all old ships from World War I. We don't have anti-ship missiles, we don't have mobility, we don't have modern air defense, and we don't have information technology. So, can't we just cooperate with the army in firing artillery?"

　"Yes, we have modern air defense systems. Sister, you can take a look at the new Sea Ram, Sea Sparrow and Phalanx I'm wearing." Arizona kindly reminded her elder sister not to forget the transformation she had undergone.

　Pennsylvania, who cared deeply about her sister, naturally wouldn't forget. "You did undergo some modifications, but it was only an air defense modernization. The radar and other armaments are all World War II goods."

　"Alas, this is not my fault. I can only blame Congress for not giving money." Arizona shook her head and sighed.

　The modernization of Arizona's air defense was the result of the US Navy's sentimentality in replacing some old Phalanx and Sea Sparrow missiles from the Arleigh Burke.

　Because of the tiny amount of special funds for ship girls given by Congress, the part that Arizona received was only enough to buy two Sea Rams, not including the miscellaneous expenses for modification.

　As a result, the US Navy had to take the old Phalanx missiles from the warehouse to install on Arizona, and only installed one Hiram missile because the remaining money had to be used to cover miscellaneous expenses for modification.

　When it comes to Congress, all

　The American shipgirls were furious. Congress's attitude towards the shipgirls was as if they were collectively digging up the congressmen's ancestors' graves; the two dollars Congress gave the shipgirls were just a little more than just enough to cover daily maintenance and training expenses, so modifications had to be carefully calculated.

　But then again, the "big ambitions" of ships like Enterprise, Lexington, and Milwaukee were indeed no different from digging up their ancestors' graves for those bourgeois congressmen, or even worse.

　The two ships were complaining in Congress when a spirited, all-channel free mic boomed through the shipgirls' communication channel: "Hello, hello, this is Saratoga! We've arrived at Pearl Harbor!"

　Pennsylvania heard that her comrades had returned, and the negative emotions she had felt during the discussion about Congress immediately dissipated. She happily pulled Arizona over and said,

　"Okay, sister, don't think about those guys in Congress. Our dear aircraft carrier descendants are back, let's go greet them."

　After the ship girls from Pearl Harbor arrived at the berth of the aircraft carrier, there was a round of greetings and greetings. After chatting for a few words, Lexington suggested that all the ship girls take a group photo.

　However, there was a brief dispute between aircraft carriers and battleships over which type of ship should take the center stage.

　"Sisters, how many years have passed since the battleship era? Are your battleships still worthy of the center position?" Bumblebee complained.

　Nevada defended the battleship: "Hornet, we must not forget our roots. In the past, if you wanted to seize control of the sea, it would be empty talk without us. If you have the guts, you aircraft carriers should go head-to-head with our battleships."

　"We can kill you from hundreds of kilometers away, why should we fight you face to face? Isn't that stupid? Besides, times have changed, you stubborn bastards!" Saratoga curled her lips and sneered.

　"You stupid file, who are you calling a bastard? I'll use my Phalanx to shoot down all those broken planes of yours." Missouri naturally couldn't tolerate the old veteran being scolded.

　"You have the nerve to poke the fan with the Phalanx? Why not poke Enterprise's F-35 and F-18?" Saratoga felt that Missouri's words were not offensive at all.

　"Anyway, the battleship..." Saratoga wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly her left ear was pinched by two fingers, and then pulled suddenly, causing a sharp pain.

　Saratoga burst into tears from the pain. "Sister Lexington! It hurts! I'm wrong, stop pinching me! I apologize, I apologize!"

　……

　After Lexington's apology and mediation, it was finally decided that the aircraft carrier and the battleship would be mixed together to take the center position. When everyone was ready, Gridley held up the camera and shouted:

　"Everyone, look at the camera! 3, 2, 1, cheese!" After Gridley pressed the time-lapse shutter, he immediately ran to his position and smiled at the camera.

　"Swish—click!" After a burst of flash and shutter sound, everyone's posture and the beautiful scenery of Pearl Harbor behind them, this moment was captured by the camera.

　Everyone in the photo looked great, except for Saratoga, who had a forced smile on her face. However, in the days that followed, this photo became a masterpiece that could never be perfectly reproduced.

　After taking photos, the group decided to do something they couldn’t enjoy on the front lines while waiting for their fuel to run out – soak in the hot springs in the Hawaiian Islands.

　Chapter 261 The Last Relaxation and Joy of the American Shipgirl (2)

　The island of Hawaii has abundant volcanic activity, with five shield volcanoes and Volcanoes National Park on the island.

　Among them, Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano in the Hawaiian Islands, with an altitude of 4170 meters. Its large crater has a diameter of 5 kilometers and lava often erupts. Major eruptions were recorded in 1881 and 1950.

　Therefore, Hawaii Island is also nicknamed the "Volcano Island".

　Places with active volcanic activity generally have abundant geothermal resources, and abundant geothermal resources often have natural hot springs.

　Obviously, this is the only way for the American ship girls who are about to go to the front line today to enjoy the taste of hot springs.

　When they heard that the shipgirls were going to take a hot spring bath, the captains of each shipgirl felt it was a pity. After all, who would have the courage to watch their own shipgirls take a bath or take a bath together?

　Unless they are in a confirmed relationship, it doesn't matter.

　But unfortunately, among all the current American ship girls, the number of ship girls who are in a romantic relationship with the captain is zero.

　Alternatively, there's another scenario where the captain is female, and same-sex bathing is naturally permitted. Fortunately, the Enterprise's captain, Miss Crownpeace, can easily achieve something other female captains only dream of.

　At this moment, in an open-air hot spring surrounded by a tight wall, Crownpeace was bathing in this gift of nature with other ship girls such as Enterprise.

　Bumblebee felt the warmth of the hot springs, the refreshing stimulation they brought him, and exclaimed, "It's so relaxing! I feel like after this soak, I can also kill my way from Washington to New York like Sister Enterprise did, and push the deep sea creatures into the sea!"

　Compared to the uninhibited Bumblebee, Yorktown seemed more reserved. She looked up at the azure sky and said worriedly, "Soaking in an open-air hot spring like this, aren't you afraid that some lawless lunatics might use technology to spy on us?"

　"What kind of technological peeping is this? To put it bluntly, it's just a drone." Missouri scratched his ear with his little finger and said nonchalantly.

　"This is a drone-free zone. Even if there's a rogue who doesn't know how to live or die and only thinks with his lower body, and dares to fly a drone over here, my eyesight and marksmanship will kill him.

　Give me the answer! "

　After saying that, Missouri raised his right hand out of the water, a blue light flashed, and an M4A1 full of tactical accessories appeared in Missouri's hand.

　Then, in a fluent tactical stance, she raised her gun, aimed it at the sky, and shouted three times, "bang, bang, bang," to simulate gunfire. It gave the impression that there was a real drone spying, and she immediately raised her gun to warn.

　Enterprise stretched her body, shifting her stance to spare Missouri the fuss. "Don't worry, Missouri. We've got drone signal shielding here, so there's no need to worry. If you're worried about the shielding being insufficient, I can bring over the electronic warfare pod on my F-18G and activate it."

　"No, no, no, if this happens, no one nearby will be able to access the Internet." Missouri felt that the company's proposal was the one that caused the most trouble.

　At this moment, Crownpeace, who had been immersed in the water practicing holding her breath, suddenly popped her head out. "Huh~ I only held it for three minutes this time, which was a bit short... Maybe it's because the hot water was quite uncomfortable."

　"Three minutes?" Those familiar with naval soldier training know that if one can hold his breath underwater for three minutes, this lung capacity is enough to join the Navy SEALs.

　What's more, his captain felt that he hadn't held his breath for too short a time. Enterprise was curious and asked, "Pis, how long can you hold your breath in room temperature water?"

　"About five minutes." Piss answered easily.

　"Hey, you really are a Navy SEAL. Why do you choose the officer route when you are so outstanding?" Bumblebee felt that it would be a waste of talent for a female soldier with such lung capacity not to join the Navy SEALs.

　Piss expressed regret: "There's nothing I can do about it. My height is a disadvantage. Ah. I'm only 160cm, the minimum height requirement for female soldiers. I can't be a seal at this height."

　Enterprise knew that her captain was not tall enough. She casually took a look at Pis's figure, but suddenly found that her captain had almost no scars on his body and his skin was surprisingly good.

　This was the first time Enterprise saw her captain naked. Although the two had been close for a long time, they had always lived in separate rooms and had never taken a bath together.

　"Why have I never noticed that the Captain's skin is so good before?" Enterprise thought to himself, feeling very curious.

　You know, it is impossible for a soldier with this kind of physique to have almost no scars on his body and have fair skin and tender flesh.

　Enterprise looked at Crownpeace again. Perhaps because she was talking to the lively and cheerful Bumblebee, she also seemed quite lively and cheerful.

　At this moment, Enterprise discovered that there seemed to be a bit more wildness and unrestrainedness in Crownpeace's eyes, which was something Enterprise had never noticed before.

　It reminded Enterprise of the information he read about the captain when he first met him.

　The information above says that the captain was naughty and loved to play pranks when he was a student; although he has a strong sense of justice, compassion, and will stand up for others, he often gives people the feeling of a naughty child or a bad girl.

　The second half of the information said that since joining the army, Piss has changed his past and become a much better person.

　However, when companies look back at Pisi now, they have doubts about the second half of the description in the document.

　"Has it really been changed, or just temporarily put away? In this unrestrained and hot environment, has it revealed itself again?"

　Enterprise felt that the Captain might not be that simple. But she was certain that Crownpeace was a contradictory person and definitely not someone who stood on the opposite side of justice.

　"Let's not think about it too much for now. Let's think about how to fight the war well first." Enterprise shook his head and turned his thoughts to more urgent and realistic issues.

　Somehow, Enterprise asked Crownpeace, "Captain, are you afraid of dying on the battlefield?"

　Piss was confused by the company's sudden seriousness. She smiled confidently and said, "If you're afraid of dying in battle, what's the point of being a soldier? To me, going to hell is like going home. I wouldn't even blink an eye. Why would you be afraid of dying in battle?"

　"Are you ready to die? Very good. But we are going to heaven, and hell belongs only to those invaders!" Enterprise was very satisfied with the spirit of his captain.

　"Not necessarily." Crownpeace disagreed with Enterprise's statement, complaining, "Those invaders don't even deserve to go to hell. Even Lady Hecatia looks down on them."

　Bumblebee became interested and asked curiously, "Hekatia? Piss, do you believe in ancient Greek mythology? That's rare. Most people would talk about Satan, Lucifer, or something like that."

　"Ah...I guess so. I'm more interested in ancient Greek mythology, so...I'm used to it." Crownpiss explained quickly.

　Bumblebee patted Crownpeace's shoulder nonchalantly and jokingly said, "Why are you so nervous? This isn't the Middle Ages. I won't burn you for believing in Greek mythology. Freedom of religious belief, sister!"

　At this moment, with a splash, a loli jumped into the hot spring, and the splashing water scattered high over the heads of every battleship and aircraft carrier.

　"Sorry everyone, Sister Sara is late!" Saratoga emerged from the water, and her lively loli voice echoed around the battleship girls.

　Missouri looked at Saratoga calmly, pointed to another hot spring pool, and reminded her, "Sister, I think you've entered the wrong pool. This is the deep pool for battleships, and the shallow pool for destroyers is over there."

　"Fuck you." Saratoga, who was offended, naturally retorted.

　Given Missouri's personality, of course, it was a tit-for-tat response. "Fuck you. A small expulsion, ridiculous! Repair shop

　Idol, Queen of the Dry Dock, if you don't agree, let's fight?"

　"..." Saratoga was angry, but she didn't dare to rush over. Although Sister Lexington was buying snacks and not in the hot springs, the residual power of the lesson she had just received made Saratoga afraid to act rashly.

　In order to maintain its composure, Saratoga retorted, "Ha, you tell me to fight? I'll fight you! This is just a trick to provoke you."

　Seeing that Saratoga had restrained herself, Missouri felt that she had made herself bored, so she didn't say anything to Saratoga.

　But will Saratoga, a troublemaker, let Missouri off so easily? The answer is no.

　She took advantage of Missouri's inattention while she was swimming in the pool and pounced on her from behind. Her two little hands grabbed Missouri's towering breasts and rubbed them back and forth.

　"I've been annoyed with you, this cow! Watch out!" Saratoga used her milk grabbing hands, trying to subdue Missouri.

　"You!" Missouri didn't expect to be ambushed by Saratoga. It turned out that Saratoga's restraint just now was deceiving herself.

　Missouri tried to grab Saratoga's hands and free her chest from Saratoga's grasp.

　Saratoga would never let herself be easily captured by Missouri. She used her loli physique to deal with Missouri flexibly.

　While dodging Missouri's attacks, she would occasionally touch Missouri's sensitive spots.

　"Sisters! Wisconsin! What are you standing there for? Come and help!" Missouri blushed at the feeling brought by Saratoga's "acupoint pressing" and she had no choice but to call for help.

　……

　In the destroyer pool not far away, Laffey (DD-459) was leaning her face against the edge of the pool, with sleepy eyes, watching the rippling blue waves of the battleships and aircraft carriers in the battleship pool, a slight smile on her lips from time to time.

　He completely ignored the main battleship pool and kept shouting things like "children are not allowed to look at this."

　Rafi (DD-459) appears to be a harmless lazy bunny, but is actually a hidden veteran.

　"Senior, the relationship between Missouri and Saratoga seems to be very complicated. Do you know why?" Laffey (DD-724), covering his eyes, came over and asked the senior curiously.

　"Well... it's a long story, and I can't explain it in just a few words..." Rabbit Laffi blinked, making people feel that she would fall asleep in the pool in the next second.

　Laffey (DD-724) asked the right person, as Laffey (DD-459) was present when Saratoga played her first prank on Missouri.

　Although Laffey (DD-459) did not board the Missouri with Saratoga at that time, judging from the subsequent relationship between Missouri and Saratoga, Saratoga must have played tricks on Missouri at that time.
