Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

Since most commanders are not serious people, this is not a serious meeting. It is probably just to let the commanders of this area get together to exchange information and keep in touch with each other. It is more like a salon. In official terms, it is called a commanders' gathering.

Before St. Louis, who had just sat down, asked what was going on between Xia Bai and RX-03, a brown-haired man was bewitched by his companions and stepped forward with a glass of wine to start a conversation.

"Brother, you look unfamiliar. You are probably not from Takers, right?"

Judging from his neatly-dressed commander's uniform and the red-haired ship girl beside him, Xia Bai boldly guessed that he was most likely a newbie who had just graduated not long ago.

Because commander's uniforms are not breathable and the collar is very tight, veterans generally don't like to wear this kind of thing, not to mention that commanders never pay attention to these things at their gatherings.

Looking at the man who took the initiative to talk to him with doubt, Xia Bai said hesitantly: "You... don't know me?"

After carefully examining Xia Bai for a moment, the brown-haired man shook his head and said, "I don't know you. Judging from your appearance, you should be the commander of the Mingyang region, Yokohama or Shanghai Port..."

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is An Hansen, and I am a graduate of the 68th class. The one next to me is the ship girl..."

The 68th issue, just as I thought, is a commander who has just graduated for less than a year, and the opening move is to show off the ship, but it doesn’t seem right. Does Takors still not recognize his commander?

As if he understood Xia Bai's thoughts, RX-03 quickly explained in his ear: "The Commander's Party is held every six months. It's not held specifically for Bai. You are just invited."

"So it's normal that there are commanders who don't know you, because most people have never seen you and don't know you are coming."

"Especially those who have just graduated. When they saw me and you sitting together, they came over to talk to me because they were fooled by those old-timers."

Hearing this, Xia Bai shifted his gaze to the sofa not far away. Several men with sinister smiles immediately covered their mouths and raised their glasses to greet him.

Complaining about these people instigating the newbies to "die", Xia Bai turned his attention to An Hansen again and said rather embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Who is this ship girl of yours?"

Seeing Xia Bai asked this question, An Hansen seemed a little excited and said proudly: "The first ship of the North Carolina-class battleship, North Carolina, is also the first ship I built."

Hearing her commander introduce herself again, this fellow ship, which was completely different from White Eagle's North Carolina, raised her head proudly.

Wow, my goodness, it turns out that the initial ship is a battleship, the famous North Carolina. No wonder he wanted to show it off so much and found a stranger to be a seal.

Although Xia Bai himself had never used a construction machine, he knew how difficult it was to produce battleships and main ships. Building this kind of ship as the initial ship for the first time was much more difficult than winning the lottery.

Generally speaking, if students at the Commander Academy can successfully build a ship girl on their first try, they will be considered Asians, and if they manage to build a heavy cruiser ship girl, they will be beaten to death on the spot. So Xia Bai can understand why An Hansen wants to show off so much.

But it is obvious that An Hansen chose the wrong person to show off. North Carolina can indeed stimulate the new commanders who have just graduated a few years ago and some African chiefs, but for Xia Bai, it is nothing special.

But An Hansen's behavior undoubtedly offended Xia Bai's dignity, so the great Sakura Empire commander decided to "sanction" him.

What's the difference between a person not showing off his boat and a salted fish? If you show off your boat, I'll show off my boat too. This is called reciprocity.

Chapter 89 Versailles

The poor new commander had no idea what hardships he was about to face, and was proudly showing off his North Carolina.

From ship equipment data to armor, to main gun caliber, An Hansen knew everything about North Carolina like the back of his hand, and frantically explained the key points of knowledge to Xia Bai.

Xia Bai, on the other hand, smiled as he listened attentively to the other party's seemingly popular science talk, which was actually showing off. He also looked like a newbie who didn't understand but was deeply shocked.

St. Louis and RX-03, who knew that Xia Bai was insidious, were laughing secretly, hoping that An Hansen would be able to accept the coming blow.

When the atmosphere was about right, Xia Bai pretended to be envious, looked at An Hansen's North Carolina, and asked innocently: "Since you have inherited the name of North Carolina, you must be very strong, right?"

Seeing that Xia Bai was so sensible and not only did he not run away after being exposed to the sun, but he also asked these questions, North Carolina also cooperated with her commander and said, "It's okay. Although it can't compare with those advanced battleships, I am also one of the newcomers."

Being able to build a battleship for the first time is already a favor from the goddess of luck, and building a battleship like the North Carolina is like saving the galaxy in the previous life. Battleships of this level are extremely rare in the world.

They represent the high-level combat power among the ship girls, with both strength and beauty, and are the ship girls that most commanders dream of having.

That's why An Hansen showed off his boats so simply and roughly, and North Carolina was happy to cooperate with him. This was not objectification, but an atmosphere unique to the commander. After all, the Maritime Administration has developed to the point where showing off boats has become a basic "etiquette" when meeting each other, and the Africans could only hold back their displeasure.

Of course, it is common to fail to show off your boat and end up being exposed instead. Some big commanders will deliberately pretend to be newbies to conduct fishing enforcement to satisfy their own bad taste.

These countless painful lessons taught the SEALs to choose the right targets, and Xia Bai looked like a rookie commander. Apart from the mecha girl leader RX-03 who was sitting next to him for some reason, there was only a dwarf and a ship girl who looked a little familiar.

Anyway, An Hansen didn’t think that the familiar blue-haired ship girl was a battleship, and even if it was, it was definitely not as good as his North Carolina.

After hearing what North Carolina said, Xia Bai showed a 'distorted' face appropriately, as if in pain, and then continued to ask weakly: "How does the North Carolina type compare to the Iowa class? It should be able to beat the other side, right?"

After hearing this, North Carolina crossed his arms and said very complacently: "I haven't competed, but I don't think I can lose to Iowa. Of course, if you are talking about the casual New Jersey, I am no match for him."

As we all know, there are many similar ship girls in the world. The Iowa-class is one of the top battleships. Although it is rare, there are still many of them. It’s just that the Iowa-class has been overshadowed by Miss Rabbit, or it can be said that the brilliance of all battleships has been overshadowed.

"Is that so..." Xia Bai showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and continued to ask, "So how do you compare to Nagato, sister? I saw that Nagato in the official website of Azur Lane was so small, so I should be able to beat him."

"The Nagato-class battleship is Big 7, an old model. It is impossible for it to be a rival of our North Carolina-class if it grows to the same level, but the son of God from the Sakura Empire..."

Speaking of this, North Carolina didn't know how to explain it to Xia Bai for a moment. God knows how Nagato in Azur Lane became the flagship.

The First Fleet Battle of Sakura Empire is famous, and most of the ship girls know how powerful the Red and White Fox is. There are also strong men like Izumo and Kii in Sakura Empire. Nagato is so young but he can overwhelm the entire Sakura Empire and become the flagship. I think he is also a tough character.

Could it be that concentration is the essence, and if one abandons the growth in size, one's strength will soar?

Recalling the immature photo of Nagato on the official website of Azur Lane, North Carolina said with an unpleasant expression: "I am no match for that flagship of the Sakura Empire..."

Looking up and seeing Xia Bai was a little disappointed, North Carolina quickly added: "It should be said that there are not many battleships in this world that can match her. It's normal that I can't beat her."

"It looks so small, but it turns out to be so powerful!"

With a gleam in his eyes, Xia Bai showed a longing for Nagato of the Sakura Empire, which made An Hansen and his North Carolina feel guilty.

This guy is too new, too naive. Is the Sakura Empire's Nagato something that an ordinary commander can aspire to be? I always feel bad about showing him off.

At this time, Xia Bai asked again in a daze: "Then the elder sister should be able to beat North Carolina from Azur Lane. I have seen her and she looks very weak."

This is the truth. Xia Bai really feels that White Eagle's North Carolina is pretty bad, in every sense of the word. This is also the first "barrage-free" battleship he has seen except for reputation.

In terms of reputation, battlecruisers have the ability to fire overlapping guns, while North Carolina only has air defense. Not only does it have a low sense of presence, but it is also teased by its companions every day. Even the 'invincible' North Carolina has come.

Hearing this, the red-haired North Carolina lowered her head, no longer proud and complacent, and said somewhat dejectedly: "I can't win. White Eagle's North Carolina has grown to a certain level and has rich combat experience. She has made great achievements in many attacks on the Sirens. Even if I grow to the limit, I am not sure I can beat her..."

After hearing what the other party said, Xia Bai had a certain idea of ​​the basic combat effectiveness of Azur Lane. Perhaps his previous understanding was wrong. In fact, everyone in Azur Lane is quite strong among the ship girls.

Why does he feel weak? Because he is too strong...

An Hansen found that North Carolina was somewhat embarrassed by Xia Bai's questioning, so he immediately abandoned the little bit of sympathy in his heart and couldn't help but say: "Brother, it's useless to ask these questions. The ones you are comparing are not your own ship girls."

It's over. Hearing that An Hansen finally mentioned Xia Bai's ship girl, RX-03 couldn't help but hold his forehead. The other party didn't know that Xia Bai had gone through so much trouble just to trap him, and still foolishly fell into the trap.

Just as 03 expected, Xia Bai chuckled after hearing what An Hansen said, no longer looking like a newbie at all.

"North Carolina is pretty impressive, but still a little behind my little fox, and even worse than Huten."

"Looking at your appearance, brother, you probably don't have any carrier girls yet. Well, actually having too many carrier girls isn't a good thing. The First and Fifth Carriers are always fighting for attack positions, and it takes a lot of time just to adjust their relationship."

"Kewei and Dafeng don't get along very well. They even fought each other last time. It's really hard to be a commander."

Until now, An Hansen finally realized that the atmosphere was not right. Why did other commanders look at him with pity? Could it be that the man in front of him was a big shot who was stinging to enforce the law?

Chapter 90: Newbie Defeat

The First and Fifth Carriers? The Formidable and the Taiho? And the shipgirl Hu Teng, who he had never heard of. An Hansen had every reason to believe that Xia Bai was having a good time, but the amused looks from the people around him also made him instinctively feel that something was amiss.

He swallowed hard, and for the sake of safety, An Hansen asked cautiously, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your name, brother, and where the garrison is located."

Xia Bai raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands, and replied modestly: "My name is Xia Bai, and my garrison is in the Mingyang area."

Xia Bai? This name sounds so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere recently...

An Hansen muttered the name softly. The more he thought about it, the more familiar it sounded. However, he just couldn't remember who this person was. However, he was sure that Xia Bai should be a big commander, otherwise he would not have heard of him.

At this moment, North Carolina seemed to remember something, his face froze, and he whispered something in An Hansen's ear.

The seal's expression became more and more complicated, first it was green and then turned into liver color.

Trying hard to put on a smile, An Hansen cupped his hands like Xia Bai and said awkwardly, "So you're a hero dressed up for battle. I'm so sorry..."

Although the commander had well-informed information channels, An Hansen had just rushed from his own garrison to Fulk City to attend the party. He had only heard about the formal battles but did not actually participate. He had just wanted to take advantage of the party to show off his talents to the newbies and non-Africans, but he did not expect to encounter a giant deep-water shark.

Commander of the Sakura Empire, savior who breaks through the darkness, hero who fights in full costumes... An Hansen couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he thought of these titles given to Xia Bai.

Now taking a closer look, this blue-haired ship girl is the rich lady from White Eagle. I am so stupid that I didn't notice this detail. Apart from Xia Bai, who else could have White Eagle's ship girl following around?

He was discussing Xia Bai with his own ship girl yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would pretend to be so in front of her today. It was very embarrassing.

The laughter that sounded around him made An Hansen want to find a hole to crawl into. No wonder those old foxes encouraged him to come here to sunbathe the boat and said that they would give him this rare opportunity. It turned out that they just wanted to have fun.

Now it was a bad situation. An Hansen didn't know whether to leave or stay. She could only stand there stupidly and accept everyone's laughter. North Carolina was equally embarrassed. She had just boasted about herself in front of Xia Bai for a long time. Now she wished she could go back in time and strangle herself to death.

To brag about one's own strength in front of a hero who has personally fought in the battlefield is like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong; one is ignorant of one's own limitations.

Xia Bai was very satisfied with the performance of the two at this moment. The excitement of successfully showing off was simply explosive. No wonder those commanders liked to show off so much.

But he was always a kind and noble man, and did not continue to provoke An Hansen. After he had his fun, he comforted him kindly: "You don't have to be too envious. I was born in a wild way and took a shortcut to become the commander of the Sakura Empire."

This consolation made An Hansen feel that he was in Versailles. He clenched his fists, raised his head and tried hard to hold back his tears of unwillingness.

He was so angry that he was trembling. When could he take a shortcut?

"Hahaha, Brother Xia, stop talking. An Hansen just graduated not long ago. It's normal for him to have the thought of showing off his boat. It's not good for him to have a psychological trauma if you continue."

Laughing loudly, Song Ya, who had met Xia Bai once, walked over and patted An Hansen's shoulder gently.

"I don't want to destroy the Sakura Empire, but I hope the sea is peaceful... I'm just telling the truth, why do you always misunderstand me?"

Looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, Xia Bai acted as if fame and fortune had nothing to do with him and he was noble.

Seeing this, Song Ya covered his chest, as if he had suffered a lot of internal injuries, and laughed and scolded: "You are really a dog, and you still say that the heavy Sakura is not my wish, high-level Versailles, right?"

"I won't argue with you any more. Brother Xia, do you think you can tell us something about the battle in full costume?"

Nodding, Xia Bai stood up and bowed solemnly to the commanders in the hall, saying in a deep voice: "Thank you all for your support. The victory of the grand battle is not only mine and Azur Lane's, but also everyone here's."

"Due to my health, I am a little late in expressing my gratitude. Please bear with me. If you have any difficulties in the future, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."

The coalition of ship girls is not just White Eagle and Iron Blood. White Eagle and Iron Blood alone cannot stop Qian Gong. It is the result of the joint efforts of more than 500 ship girls in the coalition, and many of them are seriously injured.

When these commanders received Ajax's request for help, they chose to send troops to help without any hesitation. Xia Bai accepted this favor.

"Brother Xia, you are too kind. This is all part of our job."

"That's right. You don't need to thank me for what is within my responsibility. We all know the importance of dressing up for battle."

"We are also part of this world, and it would be unacceptable if we don't contribute."

"My daughter explained it to me after she came back. If Commander Xia hadn't risked his life, we wouldn't be here now."

Anyone who can become a commander is naturally not a fool. He can clearly distinguish the seriousness of a misconduct and knows who has contributed the most. Seeing Xia Baizhen thanking him, he quickly expressed his praise.

After bowing, Xia Bai picked up the water cup and said, "I cannot express my gratitude enough. I would like to offer water to all my colleagues instead of tea to pay tribute to our deceased comrades. Please."

"Please!"

After drinking, Xia Bai bowed again and then sat down. The scene became more lively. Commanders with similar interests and hobbies gathered together and chatted about all sorts of things.

This is how a gathering of commanders from the Maritime Administration should be. Xia Bai was specially invited not for winning him over or for intelligence, but just to let him integrate into this circle.

Commanders are all smart and humane, not as disgusting as the government. We are all companions fighting hard for this world. It is enough for us to get together and talk about ship girls, the situation, and love.

"You're back to your senses." Seeing that An Hansen was lost in thought, Song Ya waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked with a smile, "I'm so excited... Are you envious of us for participating in the costumed battle?"

"Well, seeing so many seniors raising their glasses to offer drinks, I felt a little out of place... I felt a little regretful that I couldn't participate in a battle like the grand battle."

Shrugging his shoulders, Song Ya said sadly: "There is nothing to regret. I wish there hadn't been this battle. Once you see how brutal it was, you will understand how cruel it was."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I said you might not believe it, after all, I heard it from my own ship girl... Isn't there a hero dressed in battle costumes here? He can tell you."

After hearing what Song Ya said, An Hansen cast his eager gaze on the expressionless Xia Bai, hoping to learn about the enormity of the battle from this hero.

Chapter 91: The dog licker is really awesome

An Hansen left with the ship girl in a daze. The information he got from Xia Bai was too shocking. The impact of something like supreme power was too great for a newbie. It would probably take a long time for him to recover.

Xia Bai did not tell him anything orally, but used the communication ring to play a section of the combat video on the RX-01 mecha. Only when people see the cruelty of the battlefield with their own eyes will they feel awe.

War weapons towering into the clouds, evil beasts covering the sky, lightning guns emitting a terrifying aura, light beams lighting up the night, blood and broken limbs flying everywhere... These are not human achievements, but shocking scars.

Glancing at An Hansen, who was sitting in the corner with a depressed mood, Song Ya said, "Even I feel powerless and hopeless from this. Isn't it too early to show this to someone who has just become a commander?"

Song Ya was not bragging. He believed that he had always been fighting on the front line and was a commander who had seen the world. However, the scene of the Rangers and Infantry Regiment being cut down by the engineering beasts like cutting straw was still too bloody and made him feel nauseous.

The appearance of Qian Gong further fueled the arrogance of the bad beasts. Both battlefields made people feel desperate, especially the roar of RX-01 when he led the Son of Prometheus to fight against Qian Gong after Xia Bai fell down, which was sad and tragic.

Don't look back, turn into a howling gale...Perhaps the son of Prometheus has already put his life aside.

"Fighting is not an honor, but a pain. I want him to understand this truth... Only by seeing such tragic scenes will he respect life and try his best to avoid war."

"If he seeks battle without reason and regards this glory as something he is pursuing, An Hansen may kill his own ship girl."

Glancing at Xia Bai, who was sighing, Song Ya said in disbelief: "You are the one that Yasasi is talking about. You actually thought of this for An Hansen."

"Rumors are not to be believed. You can only understand a person's character after you have met him."

Seeing the other party mention this, Xia Bai also became interested and asked quickly: "What kind of person am I in the rumors? I am the kind of caring big brother, right?"
