Elder brother's garrison

Those familiar with her personality should know what she's up to.

The reputation of the little white (referring to a specific aircraft carrier)? The face of the naval base? The dignity of Saratoga, a world-class aircraft carrier? I'm telling you, none of that matters.

Saratoga doesn't care about anything as long as she can be with Xiaobai, not even the first chapter, and no matter how embarrassing it is.

Your own happiness! But you have to fight for it yourself!

With that decision, Saratoga jumped off the other side of the wall, humming happily.

With a thud, she landed on the ground.

It takes a lot of courage for Saratoga to decide to run away and find Snow White again, going against her older sister's wishes after being treated inhumanely at home.

God knows what kind of torture my sister will use on me when I go back this time.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Hmph, we'll think about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

"Okay!" Saratoga raised his hand, clenched his fist, and gave himself a shout-out.

"What's so good about it?" Just then, Lexington's voice rang out behind Saratoga.

Saratoga turned his head away as if he had seen a ghost.

"Sister...sister?"

"You still remember I'm your older sister?" Behind Saratoga, Lexington, with a friendly smile, stood behind where Saratoga had landed and said with a smile, "Gaga, do you even know what kind of ship girl your older sister is?"

"Uh... an aircraft carrier..."

"Do you still think you can fool your older sister with such a little trick?" Lexington smiled and put her hand on Saratoga's shoulder. "Oh dear, it seems the lesson from last time hasn't been enough to make my dear sister behave herself."

Saratoga was covered in sweat.

Saratoga was drenched in sweat.

Saratoga was sweating profusely.

Saratoga felt her life was threatened.

“And this time, my dear sister.” Lexington pressed her face closer and closer.

As Saratoga drew closer, the shadows on the once kind and beautiful woman's face grew larger, making her look increasingly terrifying, like the woman in white from a videotape that would kill her within seven days.

"This time, are you prepared?"

"Ya ya ya ya ya"

Saratoga's rare screams, like blades, tore through the clear sky.

-

"Huh?" Little White turned around and looked at the naval base behind him, which had shrunk to the size of a gingerbread cake in his field of vision. "I think I just heard Saratoga's voice."

“Oh, I heard that too.” Veneto was holding a travel brochure and looking at it carefully. “Admiral, don’t worry. Saratoga wouldn’t make that sound if she were really in danger. She must have been dealt with by Lexington again.”

"Haha, Saratoga, really! I just left and you're already causing trouble for Lexington again." Little White laughed like a silver bell, completely oblivious to her surroundings.

-

Lexington carried the unconscious Saratoga toward the office building.

"Lexington?" On the way back, she ran into Bismarck, who was returning. She looked at Saratoga behind Lexington with a slightly strange expression. "Is Saratoga sick?"

“No, Jiajia is going to sneak out to find Xiaobai again.” Lexington shook his head, looking helpless. “Honestly, I’m so worried.”

"Little White went out again?" Bismarck understood the meaning behind Lexington's words.

“Yes. I’ve arranged for her to go on the first chapter of the expedition,” Lexington said.

The decision to go on the expedition was made quite hastily; sometimes even the people living with us didn't know.

“Oh, that’s good.” Bismarck nodded. “Safe.”

"Don't worry about Xiaobai for now. Bismarck, you should rest for a couple of days too," Lexington said worriedly, looking at Bismarck's travel-worn appearance.

“No need. Actually, stealing aluminum is quite interesting.” Bismarck refused. “Since you’re here, I won’t go to the office building with you. I’m leaving.”

After Bismarck finished speaking, he smiled at Lexington and walked away in a hurry.

—Seriously, this guy.

Lexington watched Bismarck's retreating figure and sighed.

I don't know if this workaholic trait is a good thing or a bad thing.

She looked around the square again.

Many ship girls went out and happily enjoyed their lives in the morning sunlight.

When they saw Lexington looking at them, they all greeted her.

Good morning, Lexington!

Good morning, Lexington!

Good morning, Mrs. Leigh!

"0v0!"

Each ship girl, like a flower, revealed her innocent and carefree smile.

Lexington greeted everyone one by one.

...Really.

Lexington chuckled as he rubbed his head against Saratoga's forehead, which was resting on his shoulder.

Lately, I seem to have unconsciously started having fun along with these kids.

-

Let's return to Xiaobai's story.

How does an admiral reach the target sea area when leading his ship girls on an expedition?

Xiaobai had thought about this issue a lot.

One of the more distinctive features is that the ship girls walk directly on the water, drifting and gliding across the sea towards the enemy camp, cutting down anyone in their way and carving a bloody path through the endless deep sea.

However, this is actually impossible. Putting aside the issues of combat effectiveness and endurance, the amount of fuel and ammunition in the ship's equipment alone cannot support the ship girls making such an extravagant and wasteful choice.

Therefore, traveling entirely by water is probably not feasible.

"Admiral. You seem quite disappointed?" On the train, Veneto asked Xiaobai with some curiosity.

"Ah..." Xiaobai leaned against the train window, her eyes filled with disillusionment. "I never expected to be traveling on a civilian train..."

Little White looked out the train window.

"Is it really true that airplanes are better?" Veneto asked, putting down the travel brochure in his hand.

"Oh no, no, being more frugal is definitely better," Xiaobai quickly refused. "It's just not quite what I imagined."

"What is the admiral thinking?"

"...Um...I thought there would be a private car or something." Xiaobai blushed and answered shyly in a low voice.

Upon hearing what Xiaobai said in a low voice, Veneto smiled and said, "Veneto also thinks that a private car service is better."

“But Fubuki thinks the train is nice too!” At that moment, Fubuki popped her head out like a gopher from the berth next to Veneto and Shiro.

Strands of blue hair fell down, and Fubuki looked at the two people below with her energetic eyes.

"Yes, sister is right, this rumbling and booming feeling is very interesting!" Bai Xue also crawled out of the sleeper berth to cheer for her sister.

The four Fubuki sisters were of one mind. After seeing their eldest sister's remarks, they all chimed in and started chatting excitedly.

Xiao Bai looked over at the four sisters on the sleeper berth.

The four sisters squeezed side by side on two beds, their legs, clad in slippers and white stockings, dangling in mid-air.

Four incredibly cute little faces smiled, like four little flowers blooming in the sleeper berth.

It seems that Fubuki and the others really enjoy taking the train.

Xiao Bai looked at the four girls in front of him.

Four little girls were lying on the sleeper berths, looking over with smiles on their faces.

Perhaps for them, the train is a more interesting mode of transportation than anything else.

"Yeah, taking the train or something might be better," Xiaobai smiled.

Being able to stay with the destroyer, Xiaobai felt that anywhere was paradise.

"Hehehe~" The four destroyers immediately became embarrassed.

Veneto leaned against the window, looking at the four destroyers on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh.

You're saying they're both destroyers, so how come there's such a big difference?

As a parent who has been greatly influenced by unruly children, Veneto genuinely appreciates how well-behaved and obedient Fubuki and her four children are.

"Veneto, what kind of place is the first chapter's sea area?" After being soothed by the destroyers, Xiaobai also got into the zone and turned to Veneto to ask.

She was a little curious about the place she was about to go.

“I’m sorry, Veneto hasn’t been to the first chapter.” Veneto shook his head. “But it’s no problem, it’s okay even if you haven’t been to the first chapter. Leave it to me.”

Veneto indeed never went to the first chapter. The deep sea there was too weak. Many admirals, after leaving there and gaining the strength to go to the second chapter, never went back there.

For ship girls like Veneto, who only joined the newbie naval base in recent years, there are almost no illustrations of characters before Chapter 6.

No problem, even though she's unfamiliar with the place, Veneto still has experience with chapters six and seven, so she won't be completely lost.

That's why Veneto kept looking at the travel brochure in his hand.

—Yes, in the first chapter, because the deep sea was so weak, even the surrounding land had a thriving tourism industry.

“Yes, I believe in Veneto,” Xiaobai said.

Veneto blushed.

Veneto loves the feeling of being relied upon and trusted.

This is the treatment a noble battleship should receive!

It will take a few days to get to the place where the first chapter is located. The place is quite close; you can get there by changing trains a few times, just like a tourist trip.

Once you reach the area around the first chapter's sea, the basic procedure isn't much different from the sixth and seventh chapters. In any case, it's just about going up and going all out with cannons, so Veneto's experience will come in handy.

Are there many people there?

"There are many, there must be quite a few admirals alone. Don't the new admirals who graduate every year take their ship girls to test the waters in the first chapter?"

"It sounds like some kind of exam venue."

“Well, actually, the first and second chapters can even be interpreted as upgrade areas specifically set up by humans to improve the training levels of ship girls. In fact, you can even see more admirals and ship girls in the sixth chapter.” Veneto shrugged and said, “After all, as you know, admiral, humans have a huge advantage in the current war.”

Chapter 201 Pretending to be weak while actually being strong is my specialty!

Xiao Bai nodded with a smile.

The fact that chapters like the first and second chapters mentioned by Veneto are actually large-scale training areas for ship girls has been mentioned more than once in Xiaobai's book.

The overall strength of ship girls in the world is greater than that of the deep-sea forces approaching the land. In this era when the deep-sea forces have finally been driven back to the ocean by the triumphant humans, and facing the seemingly endless human-controlled forbidden zones filled with deep-sea ships, humanity's view of the once irreconcilable deep-sea ships is slowly changing.

The chapter on the ocean is a product of this change in human perception of the deep sea.

Although the chapters are strictly divided according to their overall strength, which sounds like a forbidden zone that strangers should not enter, if you think about it carefully, isn't this just like the newbie village, level 10 leveling area, level 20 leveling area, and level 30 leveling area in a game?

People of different strengths go to chapters, become stronger within a chapter, and then move on to the next chapter.

New players should stay in the starting village and level up slowly, waiting for the opportunity to move on to the next chapter.

It is this somewhat vague yet incredibly secure "Admiral Upgrade System" that allows countless new admirals to smoothly grow stronger, thereby significantly reducing the chances of them failing.

This practice of constantly providing humanity with a large amount of fresh blood may be one of the reasons why humans have the advantage.

—One has to admire the wisdom and courage of the previous generations who treated the deep sea as a source of experience.

"In short, you should be able to meet quite a few new people in the first chapter, Admiral," Veneto said. "Although it's a fenced-off deep-sea area, the number of people around there is probably no less than that of any ordinary tourist attraction."

As he spoke, Veneto picked up a travel brochure and showed it to Xiaobai.

The thin tourist brochure prominently displays a sign in bright red font indicating a daily tourist flow of 88,000.
