Chapter 253
Chapter 253
The problem is that the ship is still in the hands of the enemy.
So Vian is very worried now. He does have a lot more resources, but he can't spend them.
Before, it was wealth and resources that limited the strength of his fleet.
Now it is him who is limiting his fleet. His physical strength can't keep up.
Now even if he completes the replacement of all the ship equipment of Shropshire, he will need at least 6 days. (Not counting the ship equipment that has been made.)
Not to mention that he can only make two aircraft a day when he replaces all the new carrier-based aircraft for Saratoga with B25.
Then there are 5 ship girls waiting for the ship body to materialize, and Hood may also need a battleship transformation. He will need at least nearly 2 months to complete the major transformation of his ship girls.
He is going to be squeezed dry.
"Really? Commander? I'm finally going to have new planes!"
Hearing Vian's words, Saratoga was immediately excited.
"Yes, but it will take three days. Shropshire still has other ship equipment and it will take some time. Even if you make up the remaining carrier-based aircraft, it will take about 8 days."
Hearing that it would take so long, Saratoga curled her lips.
Who can understand her mood!
She finally got a new hull, and finally she could fly hundreds of carrier-based aircraft at a time like her sister, but the hangar that made her complacent before became a burden to her.
She regretted why she didn't ask Vian to make more ship equipment in advance, otherwise she could directly take off 220 bombers at a time.
This time she was half bomber and half fighter, not at all happy,
So Saratoga is unhappy now! Very unhappy!
The total waiting time of 11 days is like a year for her, just like ants crawling on her body.
So Saratoga, who was more cunning, rolled her beautiful eyes.
"Then Commander, can you hurry up and make more ship equipment?"
"Commander~ You can't do it~"
"If the commander is not in good health, you can tell Gaga how to make more. Gaga is willing to help you no matter if it means going through fire and water!"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Saratoga's words were terrifying.
Can he tell her how to increase the number of ship equipment?
He only increased it once, and it was with Xuefeng.
So he glanced at Xuefeng, who was eating at the opposite table and didn't dare to look up, with a guilty conscience.
For the time being, only he and she knew about this.
Xuefeng, who was eating quietly, blushed unconsciously.
"Sister Xuefeng, why are you blushing... Is it too hot?"
Shimakaze, who happened to take a piece of barbecued pork from Xuefeng's plate, happened to see the change in Xuefeng's face.
"No...it's okay, Shimakaze, you should eat more. I just got burned by the soup."
[I'm enough for Xiao Wei's destroyer. 】
Xuefeng thought to herself and said calmly.
"Okay, then Sister Xuefeng, I'll take your meat, Shimakaze~"
Shimakaze said and stuffed it into her mouth in one gulp.
"Woo~ The dishes made by the admiral and Sister Yixian are so delicious~"
Shimakaze looked satisfied.
Vian, who was choked because of guilt, let Lexington pat his back helplessly.
At the same time, he glared at Saratoga fiercely. Her sister was too naughty.
"Commander, are you okay? Gaga is just used to being naughty..."
Lexington asked worriedly while stroking Vian's back to relieve his discomfort.
"It's okay, you should eat too."
"Yeah~ Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Lexington ate at ease.
On the other side, Saratoga, who was glared at by her sister, also knew that she was being unreasonable. Vian basically gave them the good things as soon as they had them.
So she ate with a guilty conscience.
But the people who were eating harmoniously did not notice that Lexington, who was eating bread in small bites, was a little absent-minded, with a light flashing in her eyes.
As she spent most of the day paying attention to Vian.
Found out.
Found out that Vian looked at the opposite side after Saratoga asked the question, and that position was Yukikaze.
Both of them looked a little wrong.
If you want to say what is special about Yukikaze and Vian, they are admirals and ship girls, sisters and brothers, husbands and wives, and they have all kinds of identities.
So Lexington was thinking, what is the unspeakable problem of Vian in this matter.
As a calm sister, she certainly can't be like Saratoga.
She was so unreasonable and asked some bad questions in front of everyone.
After thinking for a while, her eyes kept swaying on Xuefeng and Wei'an.
She had a solution.
It was another night, and Wei'an fell asleep peacefully after making the secondary guns that needed to be made for Shropshire today.
The other ship girls also returned to their warships after playing for a while.
But tonight's night was a little special.
Xuefeng, who was about to return to her warship, was left alone by Lexington.
"Can we talk alone later? About the commander's matter."
Looking at Lexington, who usually did the most for everyone silently, Xuefeng nodded.
In this fleet, apart from her, Lexington knew Wei'an the best, and she must know everything about Wei'an.
After all, after so long, she also found that Wei'an's decision was indeed correct. This fleet is centered on aircraft carriers.
It is the main reason why their fleet has been so powerful during this period.
And Lexington, who is in a special position, needs to share Wei's worries every day.
So after the other ship girls left, Lexington poured a glass of Coke mixed with red wine for her in the restaurant.
At the same time, she took out some snacks and placed them on the table.
They chatted casually, but they didn't shift the question to Vian.
Until.
Xuefeng, who was drinking Coke, licked her lips.
She hadn't had such a delicious Coke for a long time. Although the taste was a little strange, it was delicious.
At the same time, her face was slightly red, and her eyes, which were usually very focused, were now a little distracted.
20 minutes later.
After drinking one cup after another, Xuefeng shook her head drowsily.
She thought the reason why this Coke tasted good was because there was wine in it.
Since drinking on the day Clemenceau joined, Vian began to supervise Xuefeng for a long time and not allow her to drink.
So after that day, she has not touched a drop of alcohol for so long.
But when she thought of Wei'an's worried look, Xuefeng, who had always been greedy, held back.
A drunkard, could actually hold back from drinking.
Now that she suddenly smelled a little bit of alcohol, could she hold back?
Can she be blamed for this?
No, it's all because Lexington is too treacherous.
As the woman closest to Wei'an besides Xuefeng.
She usually communicates with Wei'an a lot.
Thus, she knows a lot about Xuefeng and their past.
