Chapter 1624: The Ship Girls with Distinctive Personalities
Chapter 1624: The Ship Girls with Distinctive Personalities
Two proposal ships, two submarines, plus Jianwu from Donghuang. Under normal circumstances, Yang Sikang could have completely stopped construction at this point. In the past, he basically maintained this level of construction intensity.
But today he was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should continue his construction.
However, what made him hesitate whether to build the ship girl this time was quite special. It was not because of her combat power or special status, but her identity.
The ship girl he was considering building now was called Alfredo Oriani, a destroyer girl and a reporter from the Sardinian camp.
In his plan, an excellent reporter also has an important function, but it would be best if this reporter, rather than the one he built, could be undertaken by his own family. However, he was not sure to what extent Clemenceau of the experimental field could interfere with Sardinia, and whether he could get Alfredo of his own family to join their plan.
After careful consideration, Yang Sikang stopped and put the Rubik's Cube back.
He decided to trust Clemenceau's abilities.
Seeing that he seemed to have no intention of continuing the construction, Befa took back the remaining Rubik's Cubes, and the construction stopped there.
But everyone else understood each other tacitly. Although they left the construction room, they just gathered in the empty rooms around it.
Although Yang Sikang did not build many ship girls today, everyone understood that this was because too many members had joined his fleet recently, and those people from the Iron-Blooded High Seas Fleet were still standing by!
Inside the construction room, Yang Sikang briefly introduced several newly built companions to the others, and then, as usual, handed them over to others for placement. However, Jianwu came over immediately:
"Commander, I have some ideas. Do you have time to cooperate?"
"Maybe later, but probably not now."
Yang Sikang shook his head:
"According to the custom of our fleet, a grand dinner is prepared on the day when a new member joins the fleet. And because of the special nature of our fleet, the dinner generally invites guests who are in the home port at the time, that is, those who just came to visit."
"So, as a commander, don't you need a more appropriate outfit?"
“But I’m also a chef.”
Yang Sikang smiled and said:
"Although I'm a commander, I'm also a pretty good cook. The clothes you designed are not suitable for me to wear at work. They should be used in more formal environments. In contrast, due to some special reasons, I hope you can design a few clothes for the iron-blooded Prince Eugen first."
"Iron-blooded man?"
"Yes, but he is also a member of our fleet, haha. It will take a long time to talk about these things."
"Then we can talk about it later. It seems that you are also very busy, and I don't want to take up too much of your time. So, that's it. In this case, I will go to Prince Eugen first."
Jianwu left directly after saying that. She obviously didn't want to waste time waiting. It seemed that she was planning to design something for Prince Eugen before the dinner.
After spending some more time communicating with Cheshire, and after Cheshire left with Neptune, Yang Sikang took the initiative to find Marco Polo who was asking Dido something.
"What are you asking Dido?"
"Commander? Nothing much, just want to know the development of the fleet, the general content of the work and future plans. Excuse me, Commander, you are so busy, why don't you expand our own territory?"
Yang Sikang scratched his head. Although he knew that Marco Polo's questions were mostly about this aspect, when he actually heard it, he still felt like he didn't know how to answer.
"The situation of our fleet is... rather special. Well, all in all, we don't have too little space... Never mind. I'll take you for a tour tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after I've completed your basic inspection and confirmation work."
Marco Polo is a very ambitious ship girl. Compared with other things, expanding the size of the fleet and the port area is more important to her.
Yang Sikang also understood Marco Polo's character very well, so instead of describing it verbally, it would be better to be direct and take her to see it in person.
Sure enough, after he said this, Marco Polo nodded in approval:
"That's great! So, is there any work I can do now?"
"There's no rush for the work. Getting to know the environment and your companions first is a prerequisite for handling the work well, isn't it? There are quite a few companions in our fleet who joined the fleet just a little earlier than you guys. Get familiar with everyone first."
"That makes sense! Well, then let's do as the commander says! Miss Dido, can you please show me our fleet?"
"Okay, please follow me!"
Dido happily began to lead Marco Polo. At least this was much better than being chased by Marco Polo and asked some sensitive political questions.
Seeing that Marco Polo couldn't wait to leave, Yang Sikang couldn't help but smile.
"This is the first time that the newly joined ship girls are more ambitious than each other and they all left in a hurry."
"Hehe~ But Cheshire won't leave. As long as my dear wishes, Cheshire will always be by my dear's side~"
Cheshire came over immediately, but was grabbed by Tai Feng halfway and forcibly dragged away.
Even though it was forced, judging from the fact that Cheshire was clearly cooperating with Taiho's actions, it seemed that she was enjoying it as well.
As for Da Vinci...since she was built, she seemed to be glued to the machine next to her and has not left until now.
In another room, the royal side reacted strongly to Yang Sikang's construction.
Unlike the quietness in the construction room before, Elizabeth had been chattering for a long time after making sure the room was soundproof enough. Her ideas came one after another, but many of them were unrealistic and spoken in anger. War-weary and others just listened helplessly, and no one even took notes.
Finally, Elizabeth took two breaths, and Befa brought her a cup of black tea at the right time, and she calmed down a lot.
"Really? What on earth is that guy trying to do? First he talked about something with the Archbishop of Free Iris, and then he met with Jean Bart from the Vichy Church. Jean Bart is perfectly healthy, isn't he? Now he's building ships for Sardinia. What's his intention?!"
"Your Majesty, weren't these things already anticipated? You also knew that Sheffield and others were suspected to have appeared in the Europa region before."
War-weary said helplessly, Elizabeth curled her lips:
"I know, but he... damn it, ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Elizabeth was a little mad. Yang Sikang had made some moves in the Europa region, but who would have thought that he would take advantage of this incident to push things forward so quickly? What she cared about was not what Yang Sikang wanted to do, but that he had concealed it from her in advance and made so many preparations without her realizing it.
The changes in the European region are also a concern for the royal family, which is itself an island country!
