Revisiting Azur Lane

Bismarck looked at the figures on the sea and said, "At this stage, we are just a fleet put together temporarily. When fighting against the Sirens, we can only rely on our own combat experience. By fighting each other, we can effectively observe the combat habits of both sides and use them for wartime dispatch, so that the team as a whole can be more coordinated."

"That's amazing, I didn't think of this level at all."

Zhou He opened his eyes slightly. His knowledge of attacking was limited to arranging the flagship to command the fleet.

"The commander is just exhausted because he has too many things to deal with. We are different. We are only responsible for combat and the inheritance of memory, so we understand it more deeply."

Bismarck glanced sideways and told the story very seriously.

These words came completely from the heart. In fact, it was not just Bismarck. Everyone who joined the port area had such thoughts to a greater or lesser extent. After all, in their memory, the naval port that required hundreds or even thousands of people to maintain was completely under the charge of Zhou He alone. So they instinctively thought that Zhou He was very busy at ordinary times, and small problems like this would be discussed and solved by themselves, and would not be submitted to Zhou He.

Of course, there is also one guy who suspects that Zhou He is actually very idle.

"Is that right?"

However, Zhou He himself felt that Bismarck was comforting him. After all, he was the commander. The fact that he did not pay attention to such a crucial matter could only be attributed to his lack of ability.

"Yes!"

Bismarck expressed his affirmation and wanted to emphasize again that Zhou He's powerful reconnaissance capabilities would be of great help in combat, but he was interrupted by the confrontation that had already begun in the bay. Seeing that Zhou He's attention was drawn over, he had to give up and started to observe as well.

Among the six people on the sea, the Cleveland sisters and Jean Bart were wearing pure and simple ship uniforms, Ayanami and Javelin had weapons of unknown meaning in their hands, and Hutten stood there like a dark boss with wings of light spread out. His indifferent and otherworldly temperament, the two-headed dragon taller than a human body surrounding him and the extended metal limbs made him extremely attractive.

The battle process is also very simple. The targets aimed at by both sides are not the opponents themselves, but the open spaces in front of, behind and beside them. In close range, such target judgment is even more difficult than hitting the enemy. Therefore, the whole battle process does not look exciting, but fierce and tense as a whole.

However, Hu Teng, whom Zhou He paid close attention to, did not show any special combat capabilities. The sense of oppression was indeed very strong, but because the ship's equipment was too large, it had the negative effect of increasing the area affected.

"Although Hu Teng has a powerful ship armor, it seems that she is not able to use it skillfully at present. Commander, you can compare it. Her aiming speed is obviously stiffer than others, a beat slower. Moreover, her turrets are distributed all over the hull. She cannot fire at the enemy with full power while standing straight. She needs to turn sideways or take time to fully deploy the ship armor. I wonder if it can be optimized and adjusted after she becomes proficient."

The focus of Zhou He's eyes was very obvious, and Bismarck was also most concerned about Hu Teng. She was worried that Zhou He could not understand the pros and cons and thought that a ship would be powerful if it was big and fierce, so she made some comments.

After hearing Bismarck's speech, Zhou He made a comparison and found that Hu Teng's control of the ship equipment was indeed more rigid than others. He couldn't help but take a breath. In the game, the ship equipment of the later Iron Blood ships was more fancy than each other. Unexpectedly, after the reality was completed, the structure of the ship equipment was too complicated, resulting in the turret's landing position not being efficient enough.

However, he still felt that Hu Teng had a promising future, so he said, "Like Tosa, Hu Teng did not inherit any combat experience, and his ship equipment is a brand new system. He will definitely feel stuck for a short time, but he will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties once he becomes thoroughly proficient."

For example, Hu Teng manipulates the ship's equipment to twist around her smoothly and quickly, which not only solves the problem of the ship's gun landing point, but also makes her look more handsome - worthy of being a construction color, while possessing powerful firepower, she is also much more handsome than ordinary people.

"..."

Well, Zhou He admitted that Hu Teng did not have outstanding combat capabilities at the moment. He was not disappointed. He could only say that there was a slight discrepancy between his expectations and that was not a big problem.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you, Tosa, were beaten by the other me."

Before Tosa could say anything, Kaga next to her suddenly realized something as she hammered her left hand with her right hand, so that Tosa's brows twitched slightly, because at that time she was not lacking in combat experience, but was simply suppressed by the numbers of Kaga, the aircraft carrier.

Although it can be attributed to her lack of strength, she still felt unhappy when she heard Kaga say that.

"If you're interested, Tosa, I can allow you to fight Kaga again."

Zhou He fanned the flames after hearing this. He had now completely overcome the discomfort of getting along with the expressionless ship girls, and even wanted to see what they looked like when they broke the ice.

"No, Commander, if you keep fanning the flames, it will cause big problems in the future!"

When Kaga heard this, her face changed instantly. She had narrowly defeated Tosa before, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The reason Tosa defeated her at that time was that she was not used to sparring with ship girls. Now Tosa is familiar with the process, and she may not win if they fight again.

"That's not necessary for now."

Tosa snorted. She was not as fooled as she was last week. Now that everyone knew that Kaga was her sister, what would she change even if she really beat Kaga? Would she be able to make Kaga shut up?

pity.

Zhou He sighed, turned his head and continued to observe the performance of the others except Hutten. Jean Bart, who was facing Hutten, seemed to be at ease, but still maintained a high-intensity attack without revealing any flaws. Cleveland and Montpellier both laughed as they bombarded each other and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

As for Ayanami and Javelin... for some reason, the two of them were getting closer and closer, and there was a tendency for them to engage in hand-to-hand combat with swords and guns, but fortunately they stopped in the end and did not perform any outrageous drama of cold weapon confrontation at sea.

'Huteng is almost at the peak of his powers, which makes Barr go all out even when facing a weak enemy. The two sisters in Cleveland have no special features. Ayanami looks silent, but her fighting style is very tough. She is good at charging, and Javelin is very good at cooperating with the atmosphere.'

According to Bismarck, Zhou He summarized the performance of the six ship girls on the scene and felt that if these six people formed a team to attack, Hutten’s shortcomings would be covered up, and they might even make great progress in the battle.

"With this amount of ammunition consumed, it's completely understandable why military exercises are so rare."

After stealing a glance at the ammunition reserves of several people, Zhou He's mouth twitched. This was not the first or second time that Bismarck and Hood had been practicing here. Most of the time, they did not ask him to replenish ammunition. Instead, when they were attacking, he suddenly discovered that the ammunition of several of his own ship girls was not full, and then he filled it up manually.

Thanks to the fact that he had more ship girls, he sank more Sirens. Now, he was far ahead in the number of scrolls for replenishing ammunition, with nearly two hundred left, which was enough to support a large-scale operation that lasted for days.

“Let’s not build it today.”

Taking a look at his own Rubik's Cube reserves, Zhou He suppressed the urge to use them. It was fun to increase the number of troops, but it was troublesome to make appropriate arrangements for the new members. It would not be too late to build more after Ayanami, Yukikaze and others were fully integrated into the port area and there were more options.

Each training session was not long, only half an hour, but the amount of exercise was intense. When they approached the dock, Zhou He could see that their clothes were all wet.

I looked at it again, oh, it seems to have been wetted by the splashing of sea water, otherwise it would not be wet so thoroughly and evenly.

"Commander, stop staring at me! It's embarrassing."

After Cleveland came ashore, he noticed Zhou He's gaze. He covered his chest with one hand and spread out the other hand to try to block Zhou He's sight. He still had a smile on his face, but he looked shy because of the action of hiding his face behind his hand and the coquettish tone.

Dad Ke, shy.

He is not a rebellious son, so why would he have such a dream?

"Sorry sorry."

Zhou He bowed his head and apologized sincerely: "You all performed very well in practice. I was unable to stop observing you for a while."

"Even if the commander did it on purpose, it's not a problem."

Jeanbal lifted the hair from her cheek with one hand. She liked wearing low-cut tights very much. Now she looked the coolest, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she teased Zhou He.

"Well, actually I did bring in a lot of personal emotions."

Zhou He hesitated for a few seconds before giving his answer, which made Bal stunned for a moment. A smile appeared on his face: "That's right."

"Don't encourage the Commander in this regard!"

Cleveland complained helplessly, how could this happen?

Chapter 116 Advantages and Disadvantages

"Huten."

After finishing the interaction with Cleveland and the others, Zhou He looked at Hu Teng who was taking off her coat and walked over without waiting for her response: "If you are familiar with the use of ship equipment, you will not lose to any ship that has left a name in history."

"..."

Hu Teng obviously did not anticipate Zhou He's action. He turned his head to let his hair cover his eyes. After a while, he spoke: "Is this an order?"

Ok?

Zhou He had also gotten used to the different personalities of his own shipgirls. He didn't think too much about it, but smiled and said what he wanted to say: "Yes and no, this is my personal expectation of you, Hu Teng."

"I see."

This time Hu Teng answered quickly. She nodded, put her coat on her shoulders, brushed shoulders with Zhou He and walked towards Bismarck.

"It's so cold."

Javelin and Ayanami were the last to come ashore. After observing the situation on Zhou He's side, Javelin muttered quietly. Zhou He was closer and heard it. He put his finger to his mouth to make a gesture of silence. Javelin blinked and covered his mouth with his hand. Ayanami, who was next to him, also covered her mouth after seeing it. Zhou He smiled at this imitation show and gave them a thumbs up: "You two performed very well, keep up the good work."

"Yes!"

Javelin was very spirited, while Ayanami just nodded.

Zhou He was accompanying the children here, while Kaga, who was a little further away, had already started chatting with Bismarck and the others, "Is it our turn next? I've wanted to ask you two for advice for a long time, but I never had the time."

"How should I say~"

Hood looked at Bismarck with a faint smile. Earlier, Kaga saw them moving towards this side and came over with Tosa. She suggested that the two sisters have a sparring match with her and Bismarck. She didn't say anything at the time, but Bismarck agreed.

Bismarck did not look at them, but cast his gaze towards Hutten who was approaching: "There is a gap between our ship equipment and yours, but there are also common points that can be used as a reference."

"Ah."

Hu Teng did not avoid the question and responded calmly.

Bismarck's meaning was very clear. She wanted her to observe and learn from their control of the battle rhythm and learn those things that directly affect combat and have nothing to do with ship equipment. She also didn't think there was anything wrong with her ship equipment. It was just that she had used it for too short a time and had not found the best way to control it.

"Just the four of us?"

As soon as Hood heard this conversation, he knew that Bismarck had agreed. She personally didn't mind letting Kaga and Tosa admire her style - unlike housework like making snacks, combat and exercises were her strong points.

"It's just the four of us, and it could be dangerous to have the little ones hanging around."

Kaga grinned, revealing his white teeth, and he looked in high spirits. Tosa also turned around and looked at Hood and Bismarck. Because Zhou He had expressly forbade Hood and Bismarck to fight each other, she had never thought of competing with the two of them. This fight could be used as a reference for the real fight.

"Commander, do you want to stay and see?"

Javelin stood beside Zhou He and asked quietly. The latter smiled and shook his head: "My presence here might affect their performance. You should go back and change your clothes early to avoid catching a cold."

"Yes~"

Javelin responded obediently, with a pleasant voice and sensible personality, which made Zhou He feel once again how lovable and worry-free the destroyers were. He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the top of Javelin's head with a gentle smile on his lips. Javelin, who was treated like this, let out a surprised sound of "Aiya~", raised his head to steal a glance at Zhou He, and then quickly lowered his head.

"Then I'll go back first. You guys should also do your best."

Zhou He didn't touch her for too long. After his itch was relieved, he tilted his head to look at Ayanami who was staring at him expressionlessly with her mechanical ears erect. He withdrew his hand, left a few words of encouragement, and turned away.

He remembered that in the game, Ayanami and Javelin were treated as daughters, and had far more skins than other ship girls. However, Ayanami's ears looked very hard, so it was not very convenient to touch her head.

……

After leaving the coastal wharf, Zhou He briefly inspected the residential area here, and went to the industrial area to check on the work progress of Lingmin and Mingshi. From the number of parts piled up in the corner, it can be seen that the two are really serious about completing the "automatically meet the enemy" function that Zhou He mentioned. However, Lingmin was not there today, and Mingshi directly covered herself with a small quilt at the door of the workshop and took a nap in the sun. Zhou He admired her for being able to fall asleep while a group of people were firing guns next to her.

I also envy her carefree life.

"I can do it, too, right?"

Zhou He thought so in his heart as he turned around, but he also knew that he probably couldn't do it now, because he didn't know when he took on the idol burden of the position called "Commander", and tried his best to make himself look more reliable every day.

This can be felt from the fact that he now smoothes out the wrinkles on his military uniform from time to time every day. Before he traveled through time, he would never do such a time-wasting thing.

However, when the stars gather in Hong Kong in the future and there are too many talents to need him, he can get rid of this situation and become a parasite in Hong Kong.

“It’s a bit far away.”

I took off my hat and rubbed my styled hair. I don’t know why, but my scalp feels uncomfortable and even a little stinging after wearing a hat for a long time. Maybe cutting it off is the right choice.

With his thoughts wandering in all directions, Zhou He followed the road and left the building complex and came to the edge of the area. He heard intensive explosions in the distance behind him, and standing on the high platform, he also saw other people moving around outside.

Hermione and Jarvis were drying their quilts, and Harman was following suit. Not far away, Yuudachi was also basking in the sun. It can only be said that cats and dogs are quite similar in some things.

As for Yukikaze, who was the most concerned, it seemed that she was being led by Jinto to visit the port area, but in fact she had been entangled by Zuikaku. No one knew what they were talking about. Zuikaku was talking very excitedly, and Shokaku did not stop him. He just stood by and enjoyed the time quietly.

"Isn't this good?"

Zhou He thought to himself, squatted down and sat on the stairs to look through the greenhouse garden house that Hermione mentioned before. After many purchases before, he found that the price of building-type products seemed to be directly linked to the area they occupied. Software such as interior decoration and style did not cost money, and the greenhouse house, which sounded like it could not be small, would definitely not be cheap.

He flipped through it and unexpectedly found a greenhouse that was selling for over a hundred yuan. Its overall appearance looked like the heavy industry shed in Red Alert 3, a long semicircular strip lying on the ground.

'What about the orchard?'

Hermione wanted desserts and drinks. The healthier option would be to grow her own fruit trees. The more convenient option would be to buy powdered sugar directly. If she wanted to be self-sufficient, she would have to grow some. So she looked around and found an orchard with a wide variety of fruits ranging from 100 to 500.

None of them is affordable now, just like having a savings of 3,000 and thinking about a computer worth 6,000, but the system does not provide the installment payment function, so he has no choice.

"We still have to fight the Siren, take down the Siren base, and capture the Siren Mirror Sea."

After closing the mall, Zhou He turned his attention to the Sirens in West District 4 and South District 3 - two human bases. He stared at them for a while and then moved back to the sea area near the port. Yesterday, the snow wind came all the way and sank at least dozens of sirens, but there was no sign of a decrease in the number of sirens on the map. In fact, because the snow wind lured out the executors from South District 3, the combat effectiveness and density of the Sirens increased.

This is what is called pros and cons. It will be impossible to kill all the Sirens in the short term.

Most importantly, Zhou He observed that there were four Siren cadres in the West Fourth District Base. The observers came over at some point, and it looked like they were going to kill him in one go, but in fact they also revealed an important message: that is, these cadres from the experimental agency were very idle, so idle that they had time to gather at his doorstep.

In other words, at least in the large area of ​​ocean where he is, there are no other anti-Siren forces.

“It’s pretty bad here.”

After looking at it again and again, Zhou He took a breath and frowned unconsciously.

His ship girl didn't like the feeling of being stuck at home, and he didn't like it either, but now he could only take it one step at a time.

After forming a simple idea in his mind, Zhou He stood up and jumped down the stairs in two steps. After a few steps to steady his body, he approached the command building. He greeted Hermione and the others before entering the door. When he entered the house, he saw Nagashima and Yuguro who were playing rock-paper-scissors for some reason. Yuguro happened to lose.

"Just in time, the commander is here!"

Nagashima showed a smug smile and pointed at Zhou He who came in, as if to indicate something, while Yuhei sighed helplessly, turned around and lay on the back of the sofa to look at Zhou He: "Commander, Nagashima wants to eat snacks, do you have time to help take care of it now?"

"What do you want to eat? I won't make anything too rare."
