"Commander, how about you try this?"
"Delicious." Wang Yu swallowed the food fed to him by the little loli in one bite.
"If it's delicious, Commander should eat more, hehe."
Inside the Commander's office, York wiggled restlessly in Wang Yu's arms.
She looked around curiously.
She hadn't been here for many days, and the Commander's office didn't seem to have anything special about it. Why did the sisters at Headquarters say she absolutely had to gain the right to enter the Commander's office?
They even said she'd understand when she grew up. What could be something she couldn't understand now but would automatically understand later?
Forget it, she wouldn't think about it anymore! Commander was the best!
Wang Yu had originally planned to send York to the infirmary to treat her wounds, then take her back to her room to rest.
However, due to the Ship Girls' inherent physique, on his way back, York's injuries began to gradually improve. Before they even reached the infirmary, her wounds had completely healed, and even the damage to her rigging and clothes had returned to normal.
He had no choice but to change direction and prepare to take her to rest. On the way back, York became more and more energetic. By the time they reached the Command Center building, York was already able to jump around lively on her own two feet.
He had reason to suspect that York had already fully recovered and was simply unwilling to walk on her own, clinging to his arms!
What could he do? Of course, he chose to forgive her!
York's repair device was still very powerful, even if its effect wasn't as exaggerated as the healing effect in the game.
But in reality, being able to continuously heal meant that all injuries except fatal ones could be fully recovered, which was already very impressive.
It was practically a divine artifact. He was even considering whether to remove Gascogne's super-heavy shells and Glorious's golden hydraulic catapults and just replace them all with repair devices!
Looking at York bouncing around with such vigor, where was her previous weakness?
He somewhat doubted whether he had been overly self-congratulatory before. Or had this little one, York, learned bad habits from Glorious?
But seeing York's expectant eyes, he still smiled and took York back to his Commander's office.
York was so cute, how could she learn bad habits? He was really overthinking.
The Commander's daily work tasks weren't actually too many. In fact, he didn't have to personally handle many of them, but there was too much intelligence data and combat information coming from Headquarters every day.
He would still insist on reading all the daily battle reports. He didn't aim to remember everything completely, just to have an impression in his mind and be aware of the situation.
"Commander, do you still have so much intelligence to process today?"
York curiously watched Wang Yu process one piece of intelligence after another. A particularly special-looking document caught her attention.
She peeked over, trying to see more clearly.
Wang Yu flicked her forehead.
"Look, look, you want to see everything. Do you even understand it?"
York rubbed her non-painful head and replied, somewhat unconvinced: "Why wouldn't I understand, Commander! Don't underestimate me. Besides the Ship Girls' inherited memories, York has also studied cultural classes diligently. Let me see, hmm... Elena? Intern Commander? Commander, what does this mean?"
"It means that our port will soon have other Commanders coming for an internship. You should be able to make some new friends then."
"Are they powerful? I mean, are their Ship Girls powerful?" York asked curiously.
Wang Yu thought for a moment. Intern Commanders in this world had almost zero combat experience, plus the difficulty of building capital ships was very high, so...
"They should be considered rookies, with little combat experience," Wang Yu replied uncertainly.
"That's great! I'm going to show them everything I've learned!" York excitedly slapped the table. Finally, there would be a few she could beat? She was practically bursting!
This punch, ah, was the culmination of more than ten days of effort. Could they withstand it?
She had suffered for so long, wasn't it all for this day of showing off in front of others!
Wang Yu looked at York with a smile, roughly guessing her thoughts: "There aren't many people, just her this year. Maybe there will be a few more next year..."
He then thought about York's progress speed in the past few days, and the full set of +10 enhanced equipment in York's equipment slots. The Ship Girls' inherent quality was important, but equipment also determined the Ship Girls' combat ability. In fact, when your own stats are not up to par, the boost from equipment is the most important.
As long as the equipment is good, even a Buli can be propped up!
"They've come from afar, after all, so don't bully them too much. Play is play, but know your limits, okay? Don't let them say our port bullies newcomers..."
York's level had increased significantly, so showing off shouldn't be difficult, but he was worried she might go overboard.
As for the new colleague, it would be a good opportunity to understand the difference between a Commander with a proper background and himself, a wild card.
York nodded nonchalantly, not knowing if she had actually listened. Wang Yu lowered his head again. Why did this person look so familiar? Had he seen her somewhere before?
...
This summer was destined to be a season of many events.
In less than a week, the flames of war ignited again on this vast sea.
"Three elite Siren models? Plus two complete large-scale strategic mass-produced fleets?"
Unlike the previous sea encounter, the combat power of a Siren combat fleet with complete command increased geometrically. The previous scattered Siren Fleet, whether in scale or strength, was incomparable to the current enemy. Compared to the enemy they were about to face, it was as harmless as a small kitten.
"Yes, radar detection results have not found any other enemy traces for now. The three elite Siren models are Explorer, Tracker, and Pilot!"
"We have already sent out emergency distress signals and evacuation signals to the nearby sea area. Do we need to retreat immediately now? Based on the troop comparison, this is simply not an enemy we can withstand."
"No! In this short amount of time, let alone retreating, there isn't even enough time for an emergency evacuation!" Pennsylvania was extremely anxious.
The port in this sea area had just been established, and Xianhua City had gathered a large number of engineering teams and civilians due to the re-establishment of its communication network.
This city was now more bustling and vibrant than it had been in decades, but the more it was like this, the more geometrically the difficulty of evacuation multiplied. Furthermore, this sea area had not experienced war for many years. When the cannons of war fired again, whether this city could quickly evacuate its civilians was still debatable!
