"Looking for me?" Huang Chen was a little confused. He gently hugged the girl and asked doubtfully, "I heard from San Juan that you were going to help Washington prepare a banquet to entertain guests. Why..."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Washington who was standing beside him.
It is understandable that Seattle appeared here, and it is normal for him to leave after preparing for the banquet.
But wasn't Secretary Washington the host of the dinner? How could she entertain the guests if she left?
Huang Chen was puzzled.
And...why does this Washington look a little strange? Not as neat and energetic as he was during the day?
"Ah, well, Commander, guess who this banquet was originally intended for?" Seattle said with a blink.
Huang Chen was stunned, and immediately had a guess in his mind, "Could it be... a treat for me?"
He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Washington again, but saw that the latter seemed to be stunned, standing in the corner of the room with his head down, not saying a word.
Instead, Vincennes stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Major General Huang, I should have told you earlier. It's my fault for not making arrangements."
It turned out to be like this... Huang Chen smiled helplessly and nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter, it won't be a problem if I tell you now."
As he spoke, he looked at Kawauchi, Shentong and the others who came in from behind, and suddenly a guess came into his mind, "You weren't at the dormitory before, could it be... that you went out to look for me?"
"That's right." Shentong waved his folding fan and explained with a smile, "At that time, Seattle and Minister Washington came to talk about the dinner. Then they started looking for the commander, and the commander seemed to be looking for us as well."
"No wonder." Huang Chen suddenly realized why he couldn't find the girl no matter how hard he looked. It turned out that a group of people were circling around Lan Island. It would be strange if they could find her.
He chuckled and shook his head, looking at everyone in the room and said, "However, even though so much has happened, we are all gathered together now, so... let's go to the dinner party."
Seattle laughed and said, "Then everyone, follow me!"
After saying that, Feng Fenghuohuo walked in front, followed by little Santiago, Xuefeng and others, and then Kawauchi Shentong and others.
Huang Chen looked at the girls with a smile and walked silently at the back. When she turned around, she saw Washington standing in the room as if he had lost his soul. It was only when Vincennes called her that she reacted and hurried to catch up.
This made him feel quite strange. He slowed down his pace a little, walked with Minister Washington, and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
After all, she is the minister here, and she hosted this dinner. It is normal to show some concern when she sees her distracted look.
"what."
After hearing Huang Chen's words, Washington was startled at first, then looked at him blankly, and said with a forced smile, "Ah, Major General Huang, no, it's okay, that... Major General Huang, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to a banquet to welcome you to the front line..."
"Banquet..." Huang Chen looked at her silently without saying anything.
Vincennes, who was standing by, quickly leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Seattle has already invited us, and we're on our way to the auditorium now."
"Ah, I've already invited you. Sorry, Major General Huang, I'm a little confused right now." Washington said with a forced smile.
I see... Huang Chen nodded, said nothing, and just quickened his pace slightly.
Although no one knew what exactly happened, Washington's current condition was obviously not suitable for him to stay here.
And he actually had some guesses about her current condition.
He walked quickly forward, waved to New Jersey, and then asked, "Did you just... do something to Washington?"
Previously, when he was in the office, Washington caused dissatisfaction in New Jersey because of his somewhat arrogant words.
However, due to Huang Chen's adjustments, New Jersey did not do anything at that time.
And now...
Washington looked clearly utterly defeated.
"What? What do you think, honey?" New Jersey blinked and stuck out his tongue, acting as if he had done nothing.
"Don't pretend. You must have done something. Tell me the details." Huang Chen reached out and pinched New Jersey's little face, pretending to be angry.
New Jersey sighed, "Who told her to say bad things about Honey? And I haven't done anything yet. I just locked her up for a moment."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pinched her index finger and thumb together, indicating that she had really only locked it for a moment.
"Just locked onto it for a moment? Didn't do anything?"
"No."
Huang Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "It's good that she didn't do anything. But, is it true that just locking her down made her like this?"
"This shows that she is quite powerful, otherwise she wouldn't feel the danger." New Jersey grinned.
"Still laughing!" Huang Chen raised his palm knife and knocked her on the head, then glared at the girl, then slowed down his pace and walked with Minister Washington at the back.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Regarding what happened between New Jersey and you earlier, I want to apologize. She can be quite emotional sometimes."
"I'm sorry..." Washington looked up at him and then shook his head. "I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry."
Huang Chen shook his head and was about to say something, but he heard Washington continue, "But... New Jersey, she reminds me of an old friend."
Chapter 992 Washington and Washington
Reminded me of an old friend.
To be honest, when Huang Chen heard Washington's words, he also thought of an old friend.
But he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, indicating that the minister should continue.
He was actually not interested in this old friend, but since he came here to listen to someone talking, he naturally felt embarrassed to run away halfway through.
Better to listen to it.
The girl with short silver hair still looked a little ugly, but it was much more natural than at the beginning.
She looked up at New Jersey walking in front of her, a look of reminiscence flashing in her eyes, and continued, "At that time, I was still in Area A..."
"Area A?" Huang Chen was stunned, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.
Washington was confused and glanced at him before continuing, "Area A, actually, I was born in Area A. For some reason, I came here and finally stopped here."
Huang Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
Minister Washington, however, seemed somewhat sentimental. "Actually, the reason I left was also related to that old friend."
"She's an old friend, but I don't know if she still recognizes me."
"After all, in her eyes back then, I might have been just a naughty, ignorant new shipgirl."
Huang Chen listened silently, feeling increasingly strange in his heart.
Naughty... Secretary Washington, ask yourself, is this word appropriate to describe yourself?
"I was born not long ago, and I was quite famous near Barbarossa. Many commanders tried to contact me, and the ship girl headquarters there also invited me to join."
"In this situation, how should I put it... I feel a little bit dizzy."
Huang Chen nodded to show his understanding, saying this was normal.
Washington is a golden battleship. For the commander, she is undoubtedly a very powerful ship girl, and everyone wants to own her.
Such a ship girl can join the ship girl headquarters, grow up, and have a promising future.
As for the final floating... Huang Chen recalled his understanding of Minister Washington and felt that this was very normal.
"Just when I was feeling smug, I met another Washington."
Huang Chen was stunned and immediately interrupted the girl, "Another Washington?"
"Yes, she was the captain of the Barbarossa Military Police at the time." Washington pursed his lips, seeming to hesitate for a moment before smiling and saying, "Once, a commander invited me with some harsh words."
"It wasn't really that intense. Looking back now, those words were quite normal, but at the time, I found them completely unacceptable."
“And then I did some responses.”
Huang Chen's eyelids twitched, "Did you beat up that commander?"
"Why do you think so?" Minister Washington looked at Huang Chen strangely. The latter scratched his head and said nothing.
"Just sparred with him a little bit. And taunted him a bit," she added.
Is there any difference... Huang Chen was speechless.
Minister Washington continued, "Because he was the commander, this wasn't a big deal. But maybe my taunting was a bit... harsh, so he returned with his shipgirl."
Huang Chen immediately understood.
He felt a little strange at the beginning. The conflict between the commander and the freedom ship girl usually rarely attracted the attention of the military police.
Why is it different here in Washington?
Now when I heard her say that, I suddenly understood.
It turns out that if you beat the younger one, the older one will come, and if you beat the commander, the ship girl will come.
"Then, I also had a sparring match with his shipgirl." Washington adjusted the hair by his ear. "His port area's strength is actually not that strong. When he sparred with me, he undoubtedly lost."
"Then I mocked his port area and ship girls again."
There was a glimmer of reminiscence in Washington's eyes, and his gaze was cast into the distance, but it seemed as if he was looking at that afternoon who knows how many years ago.
The sun is dim and the air is filled with a lazy atmosphere.
In the square next to the KanColle headquarters, a crowd of people gathered around the commander and KanColle in the middle.
The silver-haired ship girl with a childish face sneered at the commander not far away, "With your level, how dare you come out to salvage the ship and become a commander? Your level is not good enough, and your ship girl is not good enough either."
On the other side of the square, the commander, looking slightly pale, looked at the several ship girls who had fallen beside him, and said anxiously, "Washington, why are you so excessive? It's just an exercise."
"Exercise? You have so many people practicing with me? No wonder you're so weak. You only know how to bully the weak with your numbers, right? A port like yours will never have a chance to develop in your lifetime!"
The commander's expression was obviously paused, he pursed his lips and said, "Don't go too far."
"How did I go too far? You were the one who proposed the exercise first, and I cooperated with it. Now that it fails, you say I went too far?" Washington sneered.
"I mean you hit me. We're all shipgirls, how could you hit me so hard?"
"Is it serious?" Washington narrowed his eyes and glanced at the unconscious ship girl. He was about to say something, but suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the crowd outside.
Faintly, people could hear shouts of "Washington," "Captain Washington!"
Washington said nothing as he watched the ship girl, who was wearing a military police uniform and looked quite similar to himself, walk out of the crowd.
"What's going on?" The military police captain looked around and finally looked at the ship girl who had fainted on the ground, frowning slightly.
"It's nothing, just an exercise," Washington explained simply.
The military police captain just glanced at her and looked at the commander, "What's going on?"
"It's just an exercise!" Washington frowned, walked up to her and said again.
However, the military police captain didn't look at her. He just stared at the commander silently until the commander slowly said, "It was indeed an exercise, but she... was too heavy-handed."
"Really? Is he right?" The military police captain then looked at Washington.
There was some anger hidden in the latter's eyes, but he raised his head and smiled, "Yes, that's right, they are too weak."
"Intentional injury..." The gendarmerie captain nodded.
Washington was a little surprised and said hurriedly, "Didn't you hear? It's an exercise. They are too weak. What does it have to do with me?"
"Can't you hold back your strength?" the gendarmerie captain asked.
Washington was silent for a moment.
"Intentional injury, come with me." The gendarmerie captain continued.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Washington's face, and he stared at the military police captain with anger in his eyes, "Why did you do it on purpose? She's so weak, so what if I accidentally hurt her?"
Chapter 993 The Day Before Departure
Orchid Island.
On the path leading to the auditorium.
Huang Chen listened quietly to Washington's narration.
"Actually, I felt a little regretful after I said that, but I was young and wanted to save face, so I refused to surrender or admit my mistake. So she detained me in the military police for half a month."
Huang Chen looked at her in surprise. "You just stayed locked up like that for half a month?"
Judging from the story she just told and her personality, this can't be such a simple matter, right?
Washington was silent for a moment before continuing, "She's too strong, too powerful. I can't defeat her. Even if I'm just locked onto her cannons, I'll instantly lose all hope of resistance."
Huang Chen nodded and motioned the girl to continue.
