Azur Lane, I really didn’t lose my memory!

"Emm...Anyway, let's clean up these broken glass shards first. If children come over to play, the broken glass shards on the ground will be dangerous."

Baltimore, the only heavy cruiser on the scene, said this while holding the ball in one hand and putting the other hand on his waist.

The free-spirited short-haired girl is wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts today, showing off her curvy and hot body. She is a cute basketball babe.

Everyone nodded and were about to get the tools to clean.

At this time, Columbia, who was facing the gate of the basketball hall, was the first to see Lu Xiuyuan and the others coming.

The bubbles that the girl blew became bigger and bigger and burst with a pop. Then Columbia looked at her sister Cleveland with a playful look and said with a sly smile, "Big sister, you are in trouble!"

Cleveland had his back to Lu Xiuyuan and did not notice his arrival.

Looking at his sister's smirk and the Riddler's words, Cleveland was confused on the spot?

Why am I in trouble? It's just a broken backboard.

"Big sister, behind you..." Montpellier, the most calm among the sisters, reminded.

Cleveland looked back and saw the commander and Helena walking towards her with Rafi...

Cleveland was a little surprised. Why was the commander here?

Since I was put under the commander's custody, the last time I saw the commander was last time.

Cleveland was puzzled, and his sister Columbia was fanning the flames: "Big sister, it's over, it's over, the commander must have seen you dunking and breaking the backboard, and the commander is angry."

"Ah... No way, it's just a rebound..." Cleveland felt a little nervous.

The main reason was that she had just broken the backboard and felt a little guilty at the moment.

Although it's just a rebound, it's not worth much.

But think carefully about what the Commander has done in the past...

The commander seems to be getting stingy...

Although he was very nice to everyone, he also gave everyone some clothes.

But everyone knows that the commander feels very painful when buying clothes.

I compared several pieces of clothing over and over again, and it took me a long time to make a decision.

Obviously Mingshi's clothes aren't very expensive...

Thinking about it this way, the commander's financial situation should not be very good or... rather stingy.

Thinking of this, Cleveland, who had just smashed the backboard, felt a little guilty, and his originally carefree personality became a little more reserved.

"Um... I'm sorry, Commander. I broke the backboard... Cleveland put his hands together, "I'm sorry... I'll compensate you."

"It's okay, as long as everything is okay."

"Huh!???" Cleveland was surprised.

The commander, who had always been a "Grandet", was not angry at all this time. Instead, he showed concern for her?

"Commander, Commander." Columbia said with a suppressed smile, "Even if you don't have to pay compensation, at least you should inform the entire Hong Kong area about Sister Cleveland's smashing of the backboard as a warning to others, right?"

"Eh!!"

When the whole port area was informed, the usually boyish Cleveland showed a rare panic expression: "No, no way? For such a small matter? Commander, I have deeply reflected on my mistakes. There is no need to inform the whole port area, right?"

Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to notify the Hong Kong District about such a small matter?

Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself, Dad Ke, you may not understand Columbia’s true intention. This is not a public execution, but a public praise.

He waved his hand and made a decision in coordination with Columbia. "No, we must inform the Hong Kong District! It will be on the Hong Kong District headlines tomorrow. By the way, Helena, who is in charge of the Hong Kong District News Department now?"

"Gridley and the others," said Helena.

"Okay then, I'll ask Gridley to take a picture and it'll be on the headlines tomorrow."

"Eh!!!"

After some jokes, the atmosphere in the venue eased a lot, and Lu Xiuyuan told everyone the purpose of his visit.

Baltimore answered without hesitation: "No problem, I don't have an appointment at the moment."

The Baltimore-class sisters have a very good reputation in the port area.

My younger sister Bremerton is a caring big sister who can talk to everyone and help everyone solve their problems. She is widely praised.

My sister Baltimore is a kind-hearted person who often helps everyone with things and is very popular.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

But if you think about it carefully, it is actually a very simple matter. If you haven't decided on a candidate and want to do an on-site investigation, you can just contact him directly on the phone.

"Well, Baltimore, you guys go ahead and have fun first."

Lu Xiuyuan patted his butt and stood up to leave.

"Is the Commander leaving now?" Columbia said.

"Well, I still have to invite people..."

"But Commander, isn't your team full?" Columbia counted on his fingers and said, "Nagashima, Akane Shinjo, Kizuna Ai, Laffey, Kobe, and Baltimore, which is exactly six people."

"Adding more people will serve as substitutes." Lu Xiuyuan said.

Columbia was silent for a moment. Some things were hard to say directly, so she could only say tactfully, "But if we include the substitutes, there will be problems with the allocation of the winning rewards, right?"

All the members of the Cleveland class, except for Cleveland, participated in the exercise. Columbia was also quite clear about the rules of the exercise.

The six members of the winning team can go camping on an uninhabited island with the commander, and each person will have an extra relative quota.

So in theory, your team should have between six and twelve people.

But currently, there is no team larger than six players.

On the one hand, the ship girls will not get sick, and even if they are injured, they can be quickly repaired with resources, so the position of substitute is not so important.

On the other hand, there are too many monks and too little meat, and one more person means one less cup of porridge.

Naturally, the fewer people the better. Moreover, in such an elite competition, only six ship girls can be on board at a time. Having more people may not necessarily bring any advantages, and in a sense it may even be a side effect.

Having more people means more time is needed to integrate the team and hone the tactics.

Now, there is only a little over half a month left before the exercise begins, so there is not much time to integrate the team.

"Um... it's better to be prepared."

It is indeed better to be prepared. Lu Xiuyuan is very clear about the problems of his team.

This team as a whole is "biased", and each ship girl has her own strengths and weaknesses.

But if we have to say which problem is more serious, it should be air defense.

Although the Luxiu Yuandian team currently has one light aircraft and one regular aircraft, it seems that the air control capability is still good.

But what if you're unlucky?

Just now, when Lu Xiuyuan was chatting with Mrs. Guanghui outside, he accidentally learned that this guy Kewei was actually forming a three-carrier fleet...

Uh...that's too beastly.

It's terrible that you really don't take the battleship seriously. Aren't you afraid that the battleship will carry you away in one go?

Although in general, the priority of aircraft carriers is higher than that of battleships.

But this time it's an exception.

Lu Xiuyuan had learned something about the venue of this exercise from Zhenhaikou.

At that time, an exercise area will be designated in the sea. This area will not be too large or too small, but the exercise must not leave this area for combat.

The restricted space means that the aircraft carrier girl cannot always hide in the safe rear.

The aircraft carrier's beyond-visual-range strike capability has been severely weakened!

It can strike beyond visual range, but only a little bit.

Once the enemy battleships advance a certain distance, our aircraft carriers will be exposed within the range of the battleships' main guns due to space restrictions and have no way to retreat!

Of course, site restrictions may not necessarily bring disadvantages to aircraft carriers.

Looking at it from another angle, because it is closer to the main battlefield, the efficiency of aircraft carriers has been greatly enhanced whether it is recovering carrier-based aircraft or launching carrier-based aircraft.

But this also means that the air defense pressure will increase due to the improvement of carrier-based aircraft delivery efficiency.

Lu Xiuyuan thought that his team's air defense was acceptable, but he couldn't withstand encountering a team like Kewei that would directly send three aircraft carriers to you.

So Lu Xiuyuan needs to prevent extreme situations, and for this he needs Santiago.

As a legendary ship girl at sea, Santiago is excellent in all aspects, especially air defense, except for her poor brain.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiuyuan wanted to take over San Diego.

"Can I ask who you are going to invite later, Commander?" Columbia asked.

“Santiago.”

Columbia was silent for a while. Well, it seems that the commander really has no one available.

"Everyone, stop standing and talking. I prepared some nut cookies and drinks. You can eat together."

While they were chatting, Helena spread a blanket she had prepared in advance on the ground, then placed some nuts, snacks and drinks on it and invited everyone to enjoy them.

Lu Xiuyuan wanted to say no, as he was leaving soon, but he couldn't resist Lafite's greed and took a look at the acid cola in the drink.

He had no choice but to sit down and wait for a while, hoping that it wouldn't be too late and he wouldn't miss his appointment with Kewei.

Columbia seemed to notice that Lu Xiuyuan was a little anxious to find Santiago, so he continued, "Commander, don't worry. There will be no problem with Santiago. Um... How about this? Commander, you accompany Big Sister..."

Columbia was almost exposed, so he quickly changed his words: "You can chat with us for a while, and I will go to Santiago's house tonight to deliver a message for you."

"Do you live close to each other?" Lu Xiuyuan asked.

"Very close. Santiago lives with her sisters, very close to our home. We often run into them when we go out."

"Well... that's fine too. I'll trouble you to pass on a message for me."

Lu Xiuyuan thought about it and realized that this place was still some distance away from the White Eagle Dormitory. If he went there now, he might not be able to make it to his appointment with Kewei in the evening. It would be better to ask Columbia to help deliver a message.

Moreover, Jin Kela, this simple and silly girl, is also his marriage partner, so there is no way she would refuse to help Lu Xiuyuan.

"By the way, Commander, speaking of Santiago... I'll also recommend you a substitute candidate, I guarantee he'll be strong." Columbia thought that since Santiago could do it, there was no reason why the other kid couldn't do it.

"Who?"

"Anchorage."

As the little angel in the hearts of many commanders, Anbao Lu Xiuyuan is remembered.

From a purely strength perspective, Anchorage is absolutely fine, but her problems are similar to those of San Diego.

Santiago is a little bit stupid, and although Anbao has a mature body, his mind is as innocent as a child.

Sometimes, Lu Xiuyuan also wondered if he was refining copper?

Physically speaking, An Bao is definitely a big sister. Her explosive figure ranks among the best even in the Hong Kong area where there are many talented people.

But on the other hand, Anbao's mind is too childish.

So much so that every time Lu Xiuyuan was attracted to An Bao's body, he would feel a strange sense of guilt in his heart.

Lu Xiuyuan pinched his chin, still considering whether to invite An Bao to join the team. After all, the composition of his current team was already quite abstract...

At this time, the little girl Lafei handed Lu Xiuyuan a chestnut.

Other chestnuts have a small cut on them to make them easier to open, but the one in Rafi's hand had no cut. After trying for a while, the little girl found that she couldn't open the chestnut, so she sought Lu Xiuyuan's help.

"Commander, help Rafi open it." said the little girl.

Lu Xiuyuan doted on his original ship. He took the chestnut without thinking and tried to break it hard, but it was of no use as the chestnut shell was still strong.

"Commander, how about I do it..." Seeing that Lu Xiuyuan couldn't open it, Helena volunteered.

"No, I can do it myself."

This time, Lu Xiuyuan did not try to force it open. Instead, he looked at the smooth shell of the chestnut and tried to bite a hole with his teeth to make it easier to open.

However, when Lu Xiuyuan bit down, his expression suddenly twitched and became painful...

144-A guess

Toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens.
