Revisiting Azur Lane

Hood hummed and said nothing more. Zhou He had the ability to learn and withstand pressure, but after all, he was just a newcomer who had been the commander for less than two months. If you said too much, it would be difficult for him to digest it.

Zuikaku, who wanted to hear more from Zhou He, glanced at Tosa and saw that he was eating cookies and donuts non-stop. Was she the only one worried about being outnumbered? Didn't that make her look timid?

"Look at what I do. My enemies are all whetstones to me. Would you mind having too many whetstones?"

Tosa took the time to glance at her, probably guessing what this guy was thinking, and asked calmly.

"As expected of Kaga-senpai's sister ship."

Zuikaku looked at Tosa and suddenly smiled with relief: "You are all so arrogant."

"Really? After all, that girl is my nominal sister. I can't stand it if it's too embarrassing."

This sentence actually aroused Tosa's interest. She wanted to see how similar Kaga was to her. Before that, she tilted her head to look at Zhou He who seemed to be thinking about something: "Commander, do you also think that Kaga and I are very similar?"

"It's very similar."

Zhou He answered subconsciously, then exclaimed, smiled and stretched out his finger: "But if it is Kaga in battleship form, it is completely different from your personality, very interesting."

"Ok?"

"Battleship?"

Zuikaku and Tosa looked at each other at the same time. Zuikaku felt very confused: "Commander, what are you talking about? Senior Kaga has an active period as a battleship?"

"That's not the history you know, but I know that Kaga was active with battleships."

Zhou He smiled. Azur Lane does not follow the historical route. After hearing what the two said, he began to wonder what kind of memories they would have if they built ships that did not exist in history but existed in the game plot.

"real or fake?"

Zuikaku was really shocked at this moment: "So according to what you said, Commander, there will be two Kaga-senpais in our port area in the future?"

"Yeah, maybe there will be three Akagi."

Zhou He said while trying not to laugh.

"Huh!?"

Zuikaku snapped his fingers and said, "Three Akagi-senpais?"

One of them was enough to give them a hard time, but there were actually three of them? Too scary.

"This is so weird, Commander, are you lying to me?"

She held her head with both hands, unable to believe it and unable to imagine the scene of three Akagi appearing in the same frame.

"Hmph, who knows~"

Zhou He picked up the teacup with a smile, but did not give a definite answer.

Zuikaku couldn't tell the truth, so he thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Then, how many will Sister Shokaku have?"

"One."

Zhou He was very sure about this.

"Yeah."

Zuikaku breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhou He would say that there were four Shokakus.

"How many Yudachi does the commander have?"

Yudachi, who was standing next to her, had eaten most of the cake, burped, and curiously interrupted. Zhou He smiled and walked over to her and ruffled her hair: "Of course it's only you, Yudachi."

"Uh-huh."

Yuudachi smiled happily.

Chapter 35: Strike a heavy blow!

With Zhou He's joking speech, the tea party finally ended in a relaxed atmosphere. All the snacks such as biscuits and cakes were eaten, which was considered quite satisfactory.

"Commander, are we really not going to have to worry about that guy?"

After finishing almost everything, Zhou He went out for some fresh air and ran into Tosa who was waiting there. The latter was standing by the door, his tone was as calm as ever, and his words were even very impolite.

But Zhou He still understood. He looked at the bay in the distance and the setting sun and shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, I will contact her alone in Kursk. If you feel bored, maybe you can go and chat with her?"

"I'm not used to communicating with people who disappear in the blink of an eye."

Tosa clicked his tongue, turned around and left without saying anything else. Zhou He scratched his hair, walked back and forth on the paved T-shaped road, thinking about the future road arrangements - their port area might be open to traffic in the future, but that is a very distant future and there is no need to consider it now.

"Let's follow the plan step by step."

Zhou He thought so and stretched lazily facing the sea, looking forward to what this port area would look like in the future.

It was almost five o'clock when the tea party ended. After a short rest, the sky became completely dark. After discussing with Hermione, Zhou He reduced the amount of dishes and had a simple dinner.

"It's still a bit chilly this evening."

After sending everyone else away to rest, Zhou He came to the back door of the headquarters and sat down, looking up at the rising moon. When he was a child, he once heard people say, "If the moon is very bright at night, the sun will come out the next day." Before crossing over, he had no intention of looking at the sun and the moon, but here he noticed that there was indeed a little connection, but it was not always sunny, sometimes it would be cloudy.

Although the attack was scheduled for tomorrow, he still hoped that it wouldn't be a cloudy day tomorrow, which would really dampen his enthusiasm.

"I never thought I would be so adaptable to life here. Should I say I'm gifted?"

Listening to the chirping of crickets coming from the distance in the grass, Zhou He propped up his chin with one hand and thought casually. Soon he came to a surprising answer: he was abducted here by the system to be a commander, which seemed to be no different from going far away to find a job.

"No no no."

He quickly rejected this idea. How could being a laborer and doing the work of a cow compare to being a commander and helping the ship girl with logistics? There was a world of difference.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhou He felt a little thirsty due to the wind, so he got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. As a result, when he entered the room, he saw Kursk leaning against the kitchen window with food in his hand, looking out in the moonlight. It can only be said that people with temperament look good in everything they do. Even cold rice and cold dishes made Kursk feel high-end.

But this was so silent... Zhou He's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed the subtle feeling in his heart, reached out to turn on the light, and walked to the automatic water boiler to get water: "Kursk, you didn't go out."

"Ah."

Kursk responded calmly, retracting his gaze to look at Zhou He: "What are the results of today's attack?"

"You saw it, I was just about to talk to you about this."

Zhou He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and after two seconds of thinking, he spoke: "Today I asked Zuikaku to investigate the west and found the whereabouts of the Siren aircraft carrier, as well as some other discoveries... So tomorrow I want you to attack and eliminate that Siren aircraft carrier."

He explained here, and Kursk ate quietly. She didn't speak until Zhou He finished speaking. She said concisely: "What should I do?"

"The focus of this operation is Zuikaku. After her airstrike is successful, the Siren will definitely counterattack and approach. I plan to let Hood and Tosa intercept, and Hermione and Yudachi will be at the front for tactical attraction. Kursk, you can go to support them, or you can open up a battlefield on your own."

Zhou He expressed his thoughts. Although he had few people, their fighting capacity was not weak. They could fight guerrilla warfare as well as regular encounters. Considering the morale of Hood and Tosa, he simply set up a battle formation and had a fight.

"Yeah, I know."

Kursk didn't react much, and Zhou He felt helpless because of his usual reaction. He felt too distant from Kursk. Even if he wanted to communicate with him more, there wasn't much to talk about. He took a breath without leaving any trace. "One more thing. Regarding future combat meetings, do you want to listen in via video?"

"..."

Kursk was silent for a moment. She was just not good at dealing with people, not unreasonable. She naturally understood that her personality and habits had caused Zhou He a lot of trouble: "Can other people see me?"

"No way."

Zhou He had never tried to use the video function in front of other people. While speaking, he started the system and clicked on Yuuri to unilaterally start a video call. In the familiar room, Yuuri was rolling on the bed with the quilt in his arms. The liveliness reminded him of the first two nights when Yuuri slept quietly. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"commander?"

Xili soon discovered Zhou He's prying, and he lay on the bed and tilted his head to look at Zhou He happily: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to see you, Yuudachi."

He was quite calm when facing Yudachi Zhouhe, and had no difficulty chatting with him, although he didn't know the reason.

After chatting for a while, Yuli agreed to cut off the video. Zhou He looked at Kursk who was already washing dishes: "How is it? Can you see Yuli?"

"can not see."

Kursk put the washed dishes aside and turned to look at Zhou He. His usually calm face now showed a hint of subtle emotion: "It's just my personal suggestion, Commander, you'd better not chat with the people in the video in front of other people. It looks weird."

Even if she was as lonely as she was, she would not laugh and chat with the air. Seeing Zhou He's behavior just now, even though she knew the truth about the video call, she still felt a little absurd.

"Ahem, I get it."

Zhou He guessed something and managed to keep his face straight: "Then, Kursk, you will attend meetings via video from now on. If you have any ideas during the meeting, you can tell me directly. I shouldn't be able to hear the audio, right?"

"it is good."

Kursk didn't resist anymore. She could have listened at the door, but she liked Zhou He's way more. She paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Commander."

"This is just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Zhou He was already very satisfied to hear such a sentence. He drank the water in the cup in his hand, smiled and waved to Kursk: "Go to bed early, see you tomorrow."

After watching Zhou He leave, Kursk turned off the lights, walked out of the command center, stood on the concrete road and looked up at the sky.

……

After a rare chat with Kursk, Zhou He was in a good mood and slept until the next morning. When it was light in the sky, he got up and went to the office. He took out paper and pen and began to observe the movement trajectory and number of the Siren fleet in the west. He also checked other blocks, outlined the planned route of the Siren's wandering, and determined the theoretical best interception position of Tosa and Hood and the harassment route of Yudachi and Hermione.

After a while of modifications, the sky outside gradually brightened and the sun slowly rose into the sky.

"All right."

After referring to the system map and confirming it again and again, Zhou He went downstairs with the hand-drawn strategic map.

"Commander! Good morning."

Yuudachi seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When she saw Zhou He, she couldn't wait to say hello. Zhou He responded with a smile, raised his hand to rub her hair, and turned to the kitchen dining area. Today, the kitchen was filled with the charming aroma of bread. Hood at the dining table was drinking milk and enjoying a Western breakfast, and Tosa and Zuikaku next to them also got bread and fried eggs.

“The breakfast options are much better.”

Zhou He greeted a few people and went straight into the kitchen to check the inventory. Rice porridge, soaked rice noodles, steamed buns and freshly baked bread, fried eggs and side dishes, all were done by Hermione alone. He was a little frightened when he saw it, and couldn't help but ask Hermione in a low voice what time she got up.

"Well, a little earlier than the commander."

Hermione, wearing a warm yellow apron, winked playfully as she answered.

"More than a little. Hermione, I know you want to help everyone better, but you also need to get enough rest."

Zhou Hecai didn't believe such polite words, and frowned slightly: "In the future, just prepare the simplest breakfast, or make it on the spot. It's okay to let them wait a little longer, we don't lack this little time."

"Follow your orders~"

Hermione narrowed her eyes and smiled: "What would you like to eat today, Commander?"

"steamed stuffed bun."

Zhou He took out a plate and began to choose breakfast. He had said what he wanted to say, but the specific situation still depended on Hermione's own arrangements. Even as a commander, he could not force his own ship girl to do or not do something.

After choosing breakfast, Zhou He went out and joined the group eating. After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou He used the dining table as a conference table, took out the strategic map he had drawn and spread it out, explaining his ideas to Hood and the other two.

"Of course, I'm not a professional, so I can only give you these theoretical things. You still need to deal with the specific situation according to the changes on the scene."

Since there was an extra Hood this time, Zhou He put on a layer of armor for himself first.

At this time, Hood was carefully observing the hand-drawn map that Zhou He took out. Even she, who was knowledgeable, couldn't help but be amazed. This was not called radar search, it was simply a God's perspective. Except for the situation of the aircraft carrier fleet, the number, type, formation and movements of the Sirens in other positions on the entire battlefield were clearly visible.

She could say frankly that, with the map drawn by Zhou He, this battle would not be lost as long as someone with a little tactical knowledge came to command.

"The commander always gives me the first place. I feel so embarrassed."

Zuikaku also laughed when he saw the picture.

She was a little worried at first, fearing that her carrier-based aircraft would be discovered on the way to the air strike, but from this picture, her fleet would not be discovered even if it flew straight, and there were no Siren ships passing in a straight line!

"It's not too late to say such things after we win the battle."

Tosa glanced at her, stood up and walked towards the door. Zuikaku stood up and followed with a smile and patted Tosa on the back: "Come on, even if you lose the first achievement, you can still do the second achievement."

"Commander, can you continue to observe the Siren's movements in real time?"

Hood didn't leave in a hurry, but went to Zhou He to confirm the matter. After getting a positive answer, he felt a little complicated.

"Any questions?"

Zhou He noticed that Hu De was in a bad mood and asked for his advice humbly.

"Nothing, Commander, you have to be careful when you are alone at home. If anything happens, notify us immediately."

Hood shook his head slightly, stood up, pressed the table with one hand and instructed Zhou He seriously, then turned and left with the map. Zhou He scratched his hair and walked into the kitchen to help Hermione with the dishes.

Half an hour later, Zhou He accompanied Hood and the other four to the edge of the bay. After a brief conversation, he watched them go away.

"Come to think of it, Kursk wouldn't have already set off first."
