How to fall in love with a ship girl?

"Then you guys chat first. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I have patrol duties this afternoon."

Guanghui waved his hand and continued to walk away, leaving the three people standing there motionless.

"Is this Glory... Tsk." Hu Teng looked at the back of the white-haired ship girl going away and whispered:

"She didn't care about what other ship girls thought and directly stated her purpose. She is as upright and noble as her name. In contrast, I seem a little dark."

"Compared to what?"

The little octopus didn't quite hear clearly, but after thinking about the advantages of the Glory and the disadvantages of Hu Teng, he also said considerately: "Don't worry about this kind of thing. The thickness of armor of many ship girls is not as good as that of the Glory. After all, she is an armored aircraft carrier."

"What weird stuff are you talking about?"

Hu Teng frowned, then lowered his head subconsciously.

She is still some distance away from the aircraft carrier known for its washboard texture, but compared to some of the ship girls in the Glory, the thickness of her armor is indeed a little insufficient.

She seems a little awkward among the ship girls, the kind that is not as good as the best but better than the worst.

At least the two people around her now have chest armor that is no less thick than hers.

However, the thickness of the armor cannot determine everything, just like the data mentioned by Warspite cannot represent everything.

It's the same no matter what battlefield you're on.

"....I'll go see the Commander tomorrow."

"Okay~~"

The two of them pushed the shopping cart away, leaving only the blonde girl standing there motionless.

It was not until the footsteps gradually disappeared in the distance that she blushed and lowered her head to look at her chest.

She heard clearly the conversation between Hu Teng and Royal Fortune just now.

Unlike the two who are somewhat 'wild' in nature, Aurora is generally a more ladylike type.

If it were her, she would definitely not be able to say these words.

"...Chest armor?"

The girl bit her lower lip.

————————————————————————

"Glorious? Got it. I'll be there on time." Xu Huan was sitting at the table in a loose black T-shirt, holding the collected information files in his hands. He listened to Beifa's report and nodded.

Today's young people are increasingly feeling like true "commanders".

However, Xu Huan himself is quite used to it. After all, he doesn't have to be in charge in the real sense. He is still in the recuperation stage, and what he knows is basically the combat intelligence related to the Siren ship girl.

His ideal status for himself is to be in charge of combat operations. As for economic, logistical, development, personnel, etc., there are other more professional ship girls to help.

"Miss Hutten and Miss Royal Fortune should also come to visit you, probably tomorrow night, master." Befa continued.

"Visiting? Do we need to make an appointment if they are all friends?"

Thinking of the depressed expressions that Hu Teng and Little Octopus might have now, Xu Huan couldn't help but smile.

We were on the same boat a few days ago, eating, drinking and having fun together, but who would have known that a few days later we would have to make an appointment even to see each other.

"This is a necessary procedure, Master." Beifa tucked the hair beside her ears and explained softly:

"For your health, not many friends in the port know your location and information, so you may not feel it. After it is made public, if there is no restriction procedure, your house will be filled with ship girls every day..."

"Okay, just do as you wish." Xu Huan essentially prefers quiet people, so he didn't say much when he heard this.

As long as Befa and the others don't restrict their personal freedom.

I don't think we have the ability to restrict it.

Apart from going to see Aurora these two days, he basically used his free time to supplement the combat information related to the ship girls and the sirens.

After tutoring, he had a preliminary understanding of the Siren models and combat methods. As for the ship girls, there were many so-called skills that made him feel a little confused.

For example, the Royal Family has a ship girl named Formidable, and according to the description, her skills seem to be able to cause an effect similar to time stopping.

But according to Xu Huan's own understanding, it is very difficult to achieve time stop in the true sense. Even the Human Alliance, which has been developing for so long, has not yet reached the true threshold. Why can the skills of a ship girl have such an effect?

For example, there is another ship girl whose name Xu Huan had heard of before, a girl named Frederick the Great from the Iron Blood side.

Her skill description seems to be related to artillery fire, but the strange thing is that her odd-numbered artillery fire and even-numbered artillery fire have different effects.

How is this done? Is there a special way to load ammunition into the ship?

Xu Huan was a little confused, and even Beifa next to him was not very clear about it.

"If you want to know more clearly, you have to go and confirm with them yourself..."

"understood."

Xu Huan also has his own methods to create similar effects such as time stopping, which makes sense, but he really can't figure out the principle of odd and even number of bombardments.

"Frederick the Great..." After memorizing the name, Xu Huan changed another book and prepared to continue learning other knowledge.

This time, after a brief understanding of the current planet and recognizing the ship girls and humanoid sirens of each camp, Xu Huan finally came into contact with the more core areas of the Royal Family.

"Is this the deployment information and rotation positions of your port area?" Xu Huan frowned and turned to look at Beifa:

"Are you really going to show me something this important?"

Chapter 40: Your Majesty?

In addition to what he just said, Xu Huan discovered that the address of each Royal Ship Girl was even marked above.

It can be said that as long as he has this piece of information, he is basically in a state of having opened his clairvoyance within the royal family and can go wherever he wants.

"This is quite normal, Master." Befa didn't think it was a big deal.

"As a commander, you must be familiar with every detail of the port area. Moreover, you are very good at combat, so you can help us make certain improvements."

"Okay, but next time you don't need to write down your addresses. It's rare that I'll need this kind of information, and... it's not very convenient. If I need it, I'll ask you to help notify them."

As a healthy, upright, and middle-aged adult male, Xu Huan needs to avoid suspicion appropriately.

"As for the patrol deployment in the port area, I can help take a look..."

Befa's eyes flickered a little, but in the end he nodded slightly.

The master seems to be much more decent than I thought.

However, not long after, Xu Huan narrowed his eyes in confusion.

“Who arranged this?”

"It's Miss Warspite, Master."

“War-weary? That’s a bit confusing…” The young man flicked his fingers lightly on the paper of the document a few times and shook his head slowly.

On the day when the royal family was attacked, he felt that there were some problems with the royal family's defense arrangements, otherwise Guanghui would not have almost gotten into trouble. Now it seems...it was just as expected.

"Master, I will convey your words to Miss War-weary afterwards. And in order to prevent your information from being leaked, we will issue instructions in the name of Miss War-weary until you fully recover."

"Okay, you guys can arrange these."

Xu Huan nodded and continued: "Defense deployment is not a geometric problem in mathematics. It is not the case that the larger the range, the better... War-weary lets a ship girl be responsible for patrolling a sea area, without considering the combat effectiveness and support speed?"

Considering that they were at sea and the royal family itself was very short of underwater vessels, Xu Huan did not plan to set up any such things as visible or hidden sentries, but tried to be as pragmatic as possible.

"I know the reason, Master. War-weary once said that if she said this, the scope of the sea area under control could be maximized..."

"Maximizing the controlled sea area... Do you still have such a thing as territorial enclosure among your camps?"

"No, Master. It's just that this way we can give you an earlier warning of the Siren invasion."

Xu Huan held his forehead helplessly when he heard this.

"Do you often encounter Sirens while on patrol? What do you do when you encounter one?"

"We often encounter some scattered Sirens. With the combat power of the Royal Navy, we can basically deal with them. If there are more of them, we will call for support, just like what happened to Glory before."

As mentioned before, the number of Sirens is almost infinite, and it is basically impossible to completely clear out all the Sirens in an area of ​​the sea.

They are like ghosts on the sea, constantly appearing on the ocean, and occasionally coming together in groups to launch attacks.

"If they are all mass-produced, there is nothing wrong with this method... But if only one ship girl is in charge of an area of ​​the sea, have you ever considered the possibility of encountering a high-level humanoid siren?"

Xu Huan pointed at himself and said, "If it were me, a single ship girl would be killed without even being able to send out any warning information."

Beifa was deeply touched by Xu Huan's words.

This was what she thought when she first met the young man in the bookstore.

Will die quietly.

"First, shrink the scope of the controlled sea area. Each sea area must be under the charge of at least two ship girls. Also, any missions outside are not allowed to be completed alone. If you must carry out the mission alone, you need to explain the situation."

"Then the patrolling ship girls need to keep a certain distance from each other. Two people need to communicate with each other through communication equipment every five minutes, and each sea area needs to report the situation to the port area every half an hour."

"The types of patrol ships should be complementary as much as possible, and they should not be the same type as much as possible."

"The patrol ship girl is no longer responsible for clearing out the Sirens except for the lone mass-produced Sirens. She only needs to transmit the coordinates back to the port, and then the fleet in the port that is specifically responsible for clearing out the Sirens will go there."

"The cleanup team also adopts a rotation duty system, trying to make the strong lead the weak, so that more ship girls have the opportunity to participate in actual combat."

As Xu Huan kept talking, Beifa kept writing down the contents in his memo.

This was the first "order" the young man had issued as a commander since he joined the Royal Army.

Xu Huan, who initially only wanted to recuperate in the royal hospital for a few days, gradually entered the state of commander without realizing it.

"By the way, does Perseus not have to take turns?"

As Xu Huan was speaking, he suddenly remembered the ship girl he saw in the medical room the night he first arrived, and asked.

"Yes, Master. Perseus is usually in charge of the medical room in the port area, and the medical ship girls in the port area basically don't have to go out to perform missions."

"Okay, let them take turns in the future, but they don't have to participate in patrols. They just need to take turns in the cleanup team. There must be at least one medical ship girl in the team every time we go out to sea."

Xu Huan felt that the Royal Family had not fully utilized the advantages of its abundant medical resources.

How can we go out to fight the Sirens without a team doctor?

In some emergencies, it is impossible to return to Hong Kong for treatment.

KanColle cannot be born indefinitely like Sirens.

"Okay, master."

"If she has any objections, let her report to me herself and state the reasons in writing."

Xu Huan's methods were swift and decisive, which was a habit he developed from long time on the battlefield, but it did not mean that he never listened to the opinions of his subordinates.

Being stubborn and self-righteous is a big taboo.

"By the way, this ship girl... I don't think she has any responsibilities. Why can't I see her name on the patrol duty roster..."

Xu Huan suddenly pointed to the very center of the entire port area, where a blond girl who looked very perverse was printed.

His small canine teeth are slightly exposed, and his face is very cute, but it cannot hide his arrogance at all. He is the type that gives people a headache just by looking at him.

Queen Elizabeth.

The current flagship and leader of the Royal Family.

Xu Huan had read previous information and also listened to Hu Teng's popular science, so it was impossible for him to be completely unaware of such a heavyweight figure. Obviously, this move had some special significance.

Beifa didn't know what the young man meant, but still explained: "Master, she is Her Majesty Elizabeth..."

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty is useless to me. Every soldier is equal. Just choose a suitable position and assign it..."

"I understand, Master, but——"

Seeing Beifa was a little hesitant, Xu Huan smiled and said, "I know you are in trouble. My name will also be added to the rotation list. It will be the same rotation as hers."

You have to be the bad guy yourself...

Chapter 41 Cricket

That afternoon, when Beifa left Xu Huan's residence, the memo in his pocket was almost full, which contained Xu Huan's opinions on the royal family and future development plans.

Just as Xu Huan himself said, professionals do professional things, and he doesn't care about anything other than matters related to combat.

Some of these arrangements may harm the interests of other parties. Xu Huan let Beifa and Yanzhan make their own decisions on these similar requests.
