Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 294 The possibility of marching in foggy weather

The commissioning ceremony of the Iris was surprisingly simple.

Huang Jiang brought the aircraft carrier and battleships back from the training ground and simply shook hands with the crew, said a few words of cheering, and then it was over.In the eyes of Huang Jiang, this is extremely crude, but in the eyes of the crew, it is completely different.

Even an old sailor who claimed to have seen the world was so excited that his legs were shaking and his face was red when he saw such a battle.And the new recruits were trembling with excitement as they spoke.

Seeing this situation, Huang Jiang didn't come to his senses for a while, and his heart was full of doubts.

It wasn't until dinner time, holding the steak with chopsticks and cutting the meat, that Huang Jiang finally understood.He has always viewed his own ship girls with the mindset of an admiral. He feels that there is no essential difference between ship girls and ordinary girls. They just have powerful weapons, but they are still full of humanity. .

But in the eyes of humans in the blue world, the ship girl belongs to the spirit of the alien sea.Whether they are alien sea souls or sequence sea souls, they all belong to the category that ordinary people cannot touch. It can be said that they are the guardians of an island. Even worshiping gods is a normal operation.

Jialan naturally does not have such strange customs, but Miss Haihun is still unattainable in their hearts.Similar to the habits in other parts of the Federation, the first thing everyone who comes to Gloria Territory cares about is never who the deacon of Gloria is, but who the sea soul of Gloria is.

In this regard, Jialan is slightly different. It is not like an ordinary deacon territory, with single-digit sea souls, but more like a powerful consul or governor-general, with a large number of sea souls. Even the number of ship girls announced by Huangjiang exceeds ten.

As a sign of respect for the sea soul, every Jialan person will memorize the names and descriptions of the ship girls. They are more familiar with the ship girls of the Huangjiang River than the Huangjiang River.

The same applies to the soldiers on the Iris.As Jialan's army, they obviously know more than the outside world. In order to cooperate with the actions of the ship girls, they will naturally contact several ship girls that Huangjiang has not announced to the outside world.So if they were called as soldiers because they were loyal enough to Jialan, then after that, they would have a greater sense of belonging. Who would think that they have too many patron saints?

And when Huang Jiang brought the main fleet to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the Iris, in the eyes of the crew, this undoubtedly showed great importance to them. Several recruits even looked at the backs of the ship's ladies and began to recite their names silently.

Lexington, Saratoga, Tirpitz, Bismarck, Richelieu, Veneto, Chi Peng, Dafeng...

These eight ship girls have been regarded as the Valkyries of the Iris... Huang Jiang can never imagine the extreme worship of the sea soul by the Azure people. Even if he understood it, he probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.

But if the ship girl were replaced by a modern naval warship, he would probably understand a little better.

After all, 055 is his goddess!
As the logistical support for the ship girls, the Iris needs to conduct adaptive training with the ship girls in the next few days. As the only sea soul mothership in Jialan that has developed effective combat capabilities, the Iris will have future missions. Undoubtedly daunting.Huangjiang needs to coordinate it with various fleet configurations. Whether it is a battleship formation, an aircraft carrier formation, a mixed battleship and aircraft carrier formation, a submarine formation or a destroyer formation, it must find a corresponding supply process. Especially for the supply units that fill the deck with resources, the training in this area is absolutely arduous.

However, in the next few days, the crew of the Iris showed incredible enthusiasm, especially those veteran sailors who he originally thought would look for opportunities to work as foreigners. They also actively participated in the training without any fatigue. middle.

Huang Jiang thought hard and couldn't figure it out.You know, in order to take on the upcoming battle, the Iris trains seven days a week, day and night.After three days of such painful training, it is simply unbelievable that these newbies still look like they are practicing violence.

Naturally, Huang Jiang would not have thought that since he knew that he went to the front line to cooperate with Haihun in the battle, the enthusiasm of the entire Iris team would immediately explode.This not only contains respect for the sea soul, but also contains hatred for the mirage. You must know that the Jialan people who can voluntarily join the navy will never do it for the reward that is not too much or too little. Why do you have to work so hard with this money?

They participated for no other reason than to protect their homeland.

Most of the sailors who were able to respond to Thors' call and come to Gloriosa agreed to participate in this dangerous job because of their deep hatred for Mirage.

The new recruits may not know it very well, but the veteran sailors can tell at a glance that there is no such intense training just after joining the service. Isn't it obvious that the war is approaching and urgent training is needed?As soon as I heard that the movie with Mirage was about to start, the enthusiasm of the sailors who came here just for the adventure exploded, and they couldn't wait to pick it up immediately...

Um...they seem to be working in logistics?It doesn't matter, watching the mirage suffer from a distance is also a kind of enjoyment.

After more than a week of non-stop training, although there were still some problems in coordination, the two parties finally adapted to this combat mode.

The ship girls began to board the ship proficiently, disembarked and moved forward.

"It's a little different from the supply of supply ships." Saratoga said truthfully, "It affects our combat efficiency, but it's much better than nothing."

Saratoga stretched and continued: "I no longer have to sit at home and fight in frustration. It feels so good."

The corners of Huang Jiang's eyes twitched and he asked, "Who taught you this strange oral habit?"

"Tirpitz." Saratoga said matter-of-factly.

"..."

really.

Huang Jiang was not surprised.

"Do we really need to train in this weather?" Saratoga looked at the thick white mist in his eyes and asked in confusion.

"I need to verify something." Huang Jiang's tone was full of uncertainty.

"It's difficult for a carrier-based aircraft to take off in such thick fog." Saratoga didn't understand what Huang Jiang meant, so he blinked and said truthfully.

Huang Jiang was not surprised. He nodded and said: "You don't need to fight, it's just navigation training. From Iris Island to Gloria Island."

"Normally sailing is not possible in this kind of weather."

"That's why it's called surprise!" Huang Jiang said with a slight smile.

In the distance, the voices of Atlanta and Killeen were heard.

Saratoga looked around and couldn't see anyone, but there was already a clear color in his eyes: "Want to try the radar?"

"From previous surveys, it is about noon when we depart from Iris Island and arrive at Iris Island. At that time, the fog has dissipated, and now this sea area has not yet entered the monsoon season with frequent heavy rains. Generally speaking, it will be Sunny weather...but only if the foggy weather sails smoothly.”

"Don't worry, although I haven't personally experienced combat in foggy weather." Saratoga smiled confidently, "But Veneto and the others have. When fighting in the deep sea, what kind of bad weather have you not seen?"
