He is the commander and the admiral.

Light cruiser Qiji had no problem with this. After all, it was highly inappropriate for her to join the joint exercise lineup no matter how you looked at it. Not to mention that after realizing that there were many unscientific aspects of the ship girls in this world, she felt that she would gain absolutely no advantage by exercising with that group of guys. If the opponent's aircraft carrier was like the Siren chess player she had encountered before and would launch some barrage of artillery fire, then wouldn't it be boring for her to participate in the exercise?

And who knows what amazing things they might do. In a word, she can't get along with the ship girls here.

"I'll take care of the situation in Minato."

After explaining the affairs, Roger and others began to prepare to set off for the port area of ​​​​White Eagle. Along the way, he was also discussing and planning something with the Prince of Wales and others. Although he didn't know what they were talking about, considering that this joint exercise was actually a contest between the two camps in a relative sense, some of the problems involved were conceivable.

"Commander, I am very welcome that you have agreed to the invitation for this joint exercise. I think the exercises will not disappoint you."

After the fleet successfully arrived at the port of White Eagle, Enterprise immediately went to meet Roger who came down from the command ship. At the same time, he also glanced at the Prince of Wales and others nearby. When their eyes met, a spark flew, but they quickly withdrew their gazes from each other.

"It's better to say that your joint exercise has helped me a lot. It can help me get more familiar with it and gain some experience, which is what I urgently need."

"We are the same! Commander, you should know that Sister Sarah is very much looking forward to fighting with you!"

Saratoga rushed to Roger's side, saved his arm, then smiled ambiguously and said, "Will the commander want to order Sister Sara to do something when the time comes?"

"Well...it won't be the kind of prank you think it is."

"Ugh! Commander is so annoying! He won't cooperate with sister Sarah's pranks at all! You won't win my heart if you behave like this."

Chapter 48 It’s basically a royal brothel!

"Then Commander, please follow me to the headquarters."

Enterprise looked at Saratoga and Roger playing around and immediately spoke up to remind them.

"Ah, that's right. So let's leave it like this for now, Saratoga."

Roger reached out and patted Saratoga on the head, which again caused her dissatisfaction.

"Don't treat sister Sarah like a child!!"

"In terms of body shape."

This joke again aroused Saratoga's dissatisfaction, and Roger, with a smile on his face, took Little North and followed Enterprise to the headquarters.

"The commander is getting worse and worse."

Saratoga missed Roger from her school days. In the past, a prank of hers would have made him completely unable to cope with it. If it was some ambiguous one, it would definitely make him blush and his heart beat fast. But now, it is almost impossible to see it.

"Really? We actually think the commander is getting better and better."

The Prince of Wales chuckled, and Saratoga felt that there was something else behind his words.

"Let's not talk about this for now. How could you use us like this? You said you were helping us fight the Sakura Empire, and then you went to the commander's port and stationed there! That's too despicable!"

Saratoga was particularly angry about the Royal Navy's behavior. After all, who could have thought that the other side could use this trick to suddenly widen the distance between the two sides.

"We didn't lie. We really did it to help you. We just provided some convenience for ourselves. You can't just let us do nothing and watch you act, right?"

Saratoga really wanted to say that this was the best way, but she could only think about it in her heart.

"And this time, the joint exercise is also your attempt to show your strength so that the commander will know the strength of the White Eagle and choose the more powerful White Eagle as the first fleet."

Things like this can be said to be very disadvantageous to them now, but it is not to a very serious extent.

"Is there anything wrong with this method? We are just using normal methods to show our best side to the commander."

"Of course not. I can't even find any problems."

The Prince of Wales shook his head and replied: "But what I want to say is that it is not so easy to achieve the goal in this way."

Because they have already reached another level.

Saratoga looked at the Prince of Wales and his men who were smiling but not saying anything. She didn't quite understand why they were so confident and thought they would not succeed.

"Commander... kissed the maid today."

Rafi suddenly spoke up and told everyone who had heard this in the morning. This news undoubtedly stunned everyone at Saratoga.

"Hey hey hey!!! You must be kidding! Commander's first kiss is gone!!"

While being surprised by this, Saratoga immediately understood what the Prince of Wales had meant. It turned out that these guys wanted to use this method to strengthen their relationship with the commander!

"You actually used the method of seduction!"

This also made Saratoga's eyes scan the royal people. She originally thought that the most likely person to do such a thing among the group should be Guanghui, but when she saw Dido with a blushing face, her eyes were immediately locked on her.

"Seduction? We didn't do that. Everything happened because the commander couldn't help himself. It has nothing to do with us."

"Huh?! Staying by the commander's side with a figure like that, what else can she do but seduction! Arranging a maid like this specifically by the side of a young and energetic man! Isn't it just to make him lose his temper and do something wrong!"

When she said this, Saratoga was filled with envy and jealousy. If she could also have such a figure, no... or if she only needed half of it, then why would she need to have such a figure!

"Master...didn't do anything wrong! It was Dido who was so reckless...wuwu..."

"Dido, there's no need to take the blame on yourself at this time."

Hood calmed Dido down a little, telling her not to rush to take the blame just because she heard others say that it was the commander who did something wrong. Besides, if she did that, she would really be labeled a seductress. Although some things were understood by everyone, they could not admit them.

"…What kind of Royal Navy is this anyway! Each of them has such a lewd figure, and they are particularly proactive in seducing the commander. They should just change their name to the Royal Brothel."

Saratoga thought so, and if she continued to let it go, then it would most likely become the First Fleet that they were striving to become the commander of, while the Royal Fleet would directly become the commander's wedding ship. At that time, the significance of the First Fleet would no longer be so good.

On the other side, after Roger arrived at the combat command center, he looked at the various precision instruments placed in the room, as well as the performance operation tests being conducted by many barbarians.

"As expected of White Eagle, the technological equipment is indeed the most advanced. A situation like this is really enviable."

"Envious? If the commander wants, we can immediately send a batch of the same equipment to your port. After all, we are also aware of the situation that the equipment was not effective in the Siren Sea. At present, this batch of equipment can still be used in seas with higher erosion levels. It is also equipped with a specially paired signal device. As long as the signal is sent, even if there is interference, we can still receive it here."

Enterprise's words made Roger excited. After all, the more advanced the equipment was, the better. No one would not like to get better equipment to deal with those troublesome enemies, not to mention being able to get support faster when encountering danger.

"If it doesn't affect you."

"No, after all, we at White Eagle are capable of developing and manufacturing a whole new set of equipment for the commander to use."

Seeing that Roger accepted her kindness, Enterprise felt relieved. The signal from the paired signal device was sent directly to her, so as long as there was a problem, she could receive it at the first time and then go to rescue.

Chapter 49 This is the strength of White Eagle!

"Then Commander, I will go over and prepare for the joint exercise."

"Ah."

After watching Enterprise leave, Roger sat on a chair with Little Beifong in his arms and familiarized himself with the use of the equipment. Little Beifong looked at the various buttons on the operating table in front of him and had no idea what they were used for. He boredly played with the deep-sea ship battleship in his hand, imitating the sound of flying, and then made machine gun shooting sounds at Roger.

This made Roger involuntarily reach out and knead her face, causing Xiao Beifang to laugh. He then looked at the figures of the White Eagle and Royal Fleet Girls on the screen, heading out to sea together to the location of the joint exercise.

"The combat goal of this exercise is a decapitation operation. We will prioritize eliminating the flagship of the exercise fleet and that will be considered accomplished."

Roger's voice was communicated with many ship girls through the communication equipment, explaining the objectives and tasks of each other's exercises. However, just as he finished speaking, Saratoga immediately spoke up and put forward a new suggestion.

"Then Commander, let's change this exercise into a competition! Both sides will act together and compete against each other to see who can complete the mission objective of the decapitation operation."

"Eh? Why are you suddenly asking for this?"

Roger was a little slow to react. It was originally a joint operation, so how did it become a competition between two camps?

"We just want to show off a little in front of the Commander. Sister Sarah really wants the Commander to see her shining~"

Roger looked at Saratoga's playful and cute appearance on the screen and did not agree immediately. After all, this decision needed to be discussed with other people before deciding whether to make such an arrangement.

"What about the others? Are there any problems?"

"We have no objection, Commander. We also want to see what kind of power the White Eagle's ship girl possesses."

The Prince of Wales replied, "I have witnessed the White Eagle's strength as a companion, so now I want to see what it feels like as an opponent."

"Well, if there's nothing wrong..."

Roger nodded, although he didn't quite understand why it suddenly became like this, and it turned into a confrontation like this. It seemed that he couldn't command any operations. Otherwise, it would be too strange to command two fleets to fight each other.

Enterprise soon learned from other people about Saratoga's sudden decision. After realizing the actions of the Royal Navy, Enterprise's eyes became serious.

Nowadays, the White Eagle has fallen behind in some aspects. If it fails again in this battle, it will be really difficult for it to have any good chances again.

"So are you guys ready for the contest?"

White Eagle's side has almost finished the discussion, and the six people are Enterprise, Bumblebee, Saratoga, Laffey, Helena and Santiago.

"No problem."

The Prince of Wales nodded slightly, their choices were herself, the Glory, the Ark Royal and the Hood, but the only ones who could serve as the vanguard were the Javelin and Dido, which were a little insufficient in the confrontation with the White Eagle, but with the cover of the artillery bombardment, they could still more or less keep up.

"Then get ready now. The exercise troops are already dispatched."

After Roger reminded everyone, the aircraft carriers of the two fleets immediately dispatched appropriate carrier-based aircraft to begin scouting the position of the exercise troops. However, when the carrier-based aircraft of both sides met, they also began to interfere with the other side.

"Hehe~ This is the first time I've encountered such a situation! Let me see your current strength!"

Saratoga looked at Guanghui not far away. As a former teacher who taught Guanghui relevant knowledge and techniques, she had not paid much attention to Guanghui's current aviation technology situation. Now was a good opportunity.

But to be honest, she actually refused to teach Guanghui at the beginning. After all, when she stood next to her, she always felt that she was not an aircraft carrier at all.

"I will behave well, Miss Sarah."

Guanghui responded with a smile, and then the battle for air supremacy between the two sides began.

"The two teams have already started to clash before the positions of the exercise troops have been locked."

Watching the fierce air battle between the two sides, Roger was watching very seriously, and little Beifang in her arms was also watching intently.

However, in the battle for air supremacy, the White Eagle side clearly has the advantage.

"Where are you looking? This way!"

Relying on her more abundant aviation tactics, Saratoga once put the carrier-based aircraft of Tejas in a passive state. The carrier-based aircraft following closely behind her made it impossible for Tejas to launch effective counterattacks. Every time she took action, she would be interrupted by Saratoga's carrier-based aircraft. After all, as a former student, Saratoga was undoubtedly very familiar with some of Tejas' situations, which also made Tejas' operational efficiency very low.

"Teacher Sarah is still as amazing as ever, but I'm not completely without improvement on my part."

Guanghui, who was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, was not discouraged. After all, like Saratoga, she was also very familiar with some of her teacher's actions.

Besides, her main goal is to restrict Saratoga and then let others deal with Enterprise. As long as Enterprise can be restricted, then half of the victory in this confrontation will be achieved.

Thinking of this, Guanghui looked at the Prince of Wales and his party not far away. They had already officially come into contact with Enterprise. Enterprise was very reliable as a teammate, but would become very scary when becoming an opponent. It also made the Royal Ark realize how difficult the opponent was.

She felt the huge gap in the aviation tactics of both sides. After the carrier-based aircraft started firing in the air, the carrier-based aircraft she controlled could not hold on for too long before being suppressed and shot down. Before it could even have much impact on the enterprise, she lost the advantage in the battle for air supremacy.

As a result, the subsequent carrier-based aircraft took off and were shot down by Enterprise before they could take any action. In such a situation, Royal Ark also understood why the Sakura Empire could not ignore the Enterprise.

Chapter 50 Abnormal Space

"Oh oh oh!!"

Xiao Beifang watched the battle on the screen and exclaimed from time to time, waving his deep-sea battleship in front of the screen, as if he had joined in the action and was obviously having a lot of fun.

While the battle for air supremacy was in fierce competition, the vanguard troops tried their best to obtain information to find the position of the exercise troops, so no fighting occurred in the vanguard troops.

“It’s getting closer.”

Roger looked at the map marks on the screen. As the personnel of both sides got closer and closer to the location of the exercise troops, they first encountered the ships of the exercise troops. However, this battle did not affect the pace of both sides. After quickly dealing with it, they began to move deeper.

However, when things progressed to this step, the exercise troops that were originally the target disappeared from the map signal. This situation made Roger look confused. After all, there was obviously no problem with the equipment. But if this was the case, what was going on?

"Pause for a moment. There seems to be a problem with the exercise troops. The signal has disappeared. Something must have happened. Please pay attention."

After hearing Roger's call, the people who were fighting anxiously stopped immediately. The goal of the game was gone, and it was useless no matter how hard they fought.

"Why did we suddenly lose the signal? Did we encounter the Siren Fleet?"

The only possibility that could lead to this situation, apart from excluding equipment problems, is being sunk. As the newest equipment in the White Eagle Port area, the probability of problems occurring is zero, so the only possibility is being sunk.

"The seas near us are generally very clean, so there shouldn't be any Siren fleets there. Let's investigate first."

With this happening, everyone lost interest in continuing the competition and, following the coordinates of where the signal disappeared given by Roger, they began to launch carrier-based aircraft towards that area to see what was going on.

"It's strange. There are no traces. There is no sign of any ship on the sea."

When the carrier-based aircraft flew over the sea area where the signal disappeared, it could not find any trace of any ship, as if there was nothing here in the first place, which made people feel strange and confused.

"Eh? The carrier-based aircraft lost contact."

The sudden loss of contact with the carrier-based aircraft made Saratoga stunned for a moment. The situation where the plane was flying well and suddenly lost contact made her think of a certain possibility.

"Is it the Mirror Sea?"

The only thing that could explain this kind of strange phenomenon is the mirror sea. Only the mirror sea can make the ship disappear suddenly. At the same time, the control of carrier-based aircraft would be interfered with due to space problems. However, if it is a mirror sea, there would be no abnormal weather conditions in the nearby seas.

"We don't have any carrier-based aircraft here, but we saw Teacher Sarah's carrier-based aircraft, which crashed directly."

Guanghui told the others about this situation, but everyone was confused and extremely alert about this incomprehensible situation.
