How did I become a villain
Page 82
The workers in the shipyard all left after get off work, leaving only the lights for lighting and dotted with the Zeppelin's damaged hull. There are few people around the shipyard, and there is no daytime hustle and bustle.
[Negotiation failed? 】
Seeing Saratoga appearing in an indignant state, Zeppelin seemed to understand something.
They met and had a very unpleasant chat.
[It seems that she has become the hope of all mankind, and she has the illusion that she is number one in the world. ] Saratoga sneered. 【She actually taught me in turn that 'the seniors have retired, so I shouldn't dictate to ships in active service', 'carrier training doesn't apply to battleships'... Anyway, a quarter of my blood is battleships.She actually said that I am not qualified. 】
Zeppelin said frankly: [On the shelling... That's it. 】
[Isn’t it amazing to have 406 big roots?Now the ocean is dominated by aircraft carriers! 】Saratoga said with hatred.Even if I don't have big roots, I still have a lot of anti-aircraft guns. I can't fight a boat, and I can't teach you to fly a plane? 【You haven't seen how proud she is.As for the four sisters, none of them retired.I am now absolutely convinced that the absence of enterprises is a matter of endless troubles. 】
That damned kamikaze, if it weren't for it, who would have gotten this stinky sister of Missouri.
【I'm curious... what did you tell her? 】
[A little greeting from the old man. 】
Oh.
Zeppelin was silent.
With Saratoga's arrogant temper, it is not surprising that the talks between the two parties collapsed.
【That slut from Missouri is not the same as us, so let's keep it at a respectful distance from now on. ] Saratoga said, scanning the hull of the Zeppelin with the radar. [The accident caused serious injuries.Navy idiots, why didn't you remove 150 of your skirts?This way at least you won't be killed by the ammunition depot. 】
It is clearly defined as a rocket carrier. Are these secondary guns not removed and kept for New Year's fireworks?
It looks mighty with cannons all over its body, but in fact, with the armor of an aircraft carrier, this is a mobile ammunition depot.
【there is no time. ] Zeppelin explained. [Since I came here, inspections and sea trials have taken up most of my time, followed by shipboard rocket tests and aircraft takeoff and landing. Except for routine maintenance, I basically spend all my time cruising in various sea areas.In addition, starting from this year, the Navy's budget has been greatly reduced, and there is no time for large-scale refitting. 】
[So, this is a hidden danger that you have been carrying since you were born. ] Saratoga took over. [If there is no little girl like Griffin, even if you can join the United States Navy, you will be scrapped because of a similar accident. 】
Zeppelin didn't deny it at all. 【really.I owe her so much. 】
Saratoga was silent.If you want to say that you owe her, whether it's me or the company, who doesn't?
[Forget it, now you can rest for a while, as the only rocket test aircraft carrier in the United States, they are counting on more tests.This repair will transform you from head to toe. 】
Bear the brunt of these unsightly 150 large roots.
Just like Saratoga's own 203 big roots, they are all things that have no chance to be used.
[Speaking of which, what are the seniors of the enterprise doing now? 】
Since that parting, I haven't seen her for a long time.
[The Veterans Association and the Enterprise Association collected all the reserved modification fees for her. She is now in Bayonne, New Jersey, and can be converted into a museum when the official documents are issued. ] Saratoga said.
The Enterprise is a legendary ship, with so many honors and victories that many veterans think she will be able to easily raise ransom money.However, the reality is that they didn't even raise a quarter of it after all their hard work. It was at this time that the veterans realized that they had overestimated the image of the company in the hearts of the people, and not everyone liked her fighting in the Pacific cold.No one really cared about her except the veteran himself.Let them raise the flag, yes; let them pay for it, no.This aircraft carrier that once carried the entire IJN on its own finally had to face such a cold reality.
Just when they were anxious and disappointed about this and couldn't sleep at night, at the critical moment, Infinite Energy Company filled in the remaining pits.
As the $200 million was transferred to the Navy's account, Forrest, who was then Secretary of the Navy, also readily approved the release.
Enterprise is free.
Infinite Energy Company, as the bulk of the donation, should have the absolute right to dispose of the ship, but under Griffin's instruction, it finally handed over the enterprise to her veterans as promised.For the soldiers who are not good at words, this is undoubtedly a great favor, and words alone can't express their gratitude.After discussion, Mick Cochrane, the first president of the Enterprise Association and a former armorer of the Enterprise, proposed to invite Griffin to become an honorary member of the association.
She agreed.
As for Saratoga, her association was more difficult.
Although it is an old pre-war ship with frequent failures, compared with the Enterprise, the ship’s redemption money is only a few hundred thousand dollars less. Even the outstanding Enterprise is almost lost. Her much weaker Saratoga's recruiting can be described as dismal.Although she is luckier than the company because her name comes from Saratoga, New York State, and she can go directly to the south of the city along the waterway. If she is really old and useless, it is not bad to stay there for the elderly.
But the problem is that even if the local government and veterans are willing to pledge a part, it has not reached the predetermined amount.
In the end, the fundraiser came to the aid of Infinity Energy.
In return, the Saratoga Society also listed her as an honorary member and enjoyed the same special treatment as the Enterprise Society.
Helping the warships decommission twice in a row also allowed the name of Infinite Energy Company to appear on the first page of the newspaper in another form. In the eyes of officers and soldiers who have served on these two warships, the name of Infinite Energy Company is even more important than The father of the Admiralty is close.Even Halsey, who had been their commander, praised Griffin for his generosity.
She didn't have to do it, but she did it anyway.
Just by chance.
The old man didn't realize that his two wives had been abducted in this way.
It is also because of Griffin's generosity at critical moments twice that she has gained a lot of fame in the navy.So much so that some veterans associations of retired warships came here especially, hoping to get her help.
The ransom money of several million dollars is not something ordinary people can do.
However, Griffin is really out of money now.
Although she claims that she likes beautiful warships and spares no expense, the real situation is not because the two aircraft carriers have ship spirits. Other warships have not found ship spirits, so naturally they are not within her hunting range.
Volume 117.2: [-] Snow Wind Comes to Say Goodbye
Griffin likes the boat to be honest, but she's not stupid and doesn't want to be taken advantage of.Facing these visitors, the girl could only decline them one by one.
To say that what they really fancy is not Griffin, but the Stark Group behind her.In the eyes of the outside world, as a company that was born less than half a year ago, how could Infinity Energy spend so much money to buy ship models without the full support of Howard Stark?
She was very clear about the real purpose of this group of people, so naturally she was not polite to them, and put on a businesslike look.
And if the navy finds out that it can sell the ship to get back the funds, they will only set the price higher and higher.Selling ships is also a technical job, so don't underestimate these naval officials who have been immersed in the government for a long time.
As long as you ignore it completely, it will benefit buyers who really want to collect it.The most she should do is to buy a part of the ship as a holy relic when the ship decides to retire.While collecting, it is also used as an experimental prop for research.
Even if she has the ability to perfectly seal these retired warships with space capabilities, she will not use them lightly.Space storage technology, like other similar products, should gradually improve its functions according to the plan. It is not yet possible for the United States to realize the infinite possibilities of space stones.
[What about you, senior? 】
【I?I also just got the decommissioning documents. After the interior is renovated, I will exhibit in New York. It is estimated that it will be next to the company. Come and play at that time. ] Saratoga said casually.
After that, she may be taken back to Lake Saratoga for resettlement, or she may be permanently stationed in New York.
Griffin gave her a lot of help, and she had no way to repay them, so she could only record it silently in her heart.On the bright side, the proud ship spirit still has its own persistence.
[If you are free some other day, you must go there. ] Zeppelin made a strong promise.
Then Saratoga stuck out a tentacle and interrupted her impatiently.
[Don't wait for another day, another day means not coming.It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. I will set a time for you, and I will choose it as the first opening day of the museum ship. You must come on that day. 】
Faced with such an outrageous decision, Zeppelin had no choice but to agree to it. 【Okay, I'll talk to Griffin. 】
[That...Senior Zeppelin, Senior Saratoga...] Suddenly a timid voice came from the chat room of the two ship spirits, and Xue Feng appeared in front of them with an obviously exotic oriental accent. [I'm here to say goodbye. 】
[Isn't this the Japanese ship spirit that Griffin found in Tokyo Bay? 】Saratoga observed this ball of light, which was much weaker than them.
She has never seen the spirit of other destroyers, if there is, it may be this size.
[Senior Saratoga. 】Adhering to traditional Japanese etiquette, Yukikaze took the initiative to express his respect for this aircraft carrier.Then she said to the two aircraft carrier spirits: [The results of the lottery for the warships of the victorious countries have come out. A group of coastal defense ships and I were selected by China, and we will go to Shanghai soon.I am here to say goodbye to the two seniors. 】
After participating in the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay, Yukikaze, like many other IJN ships, assumed the duty of a demobilization transport ship, not only transporting the starving army officers and soldiers from the battlefields of various East Asian countries to Japan, but also picking up local Japanese expatriates .During the past half a year, Xuefeng, who has personally experienced the whole process, has gradually understood what kind of evil things his country has done in the past few years.
If they hadn't done something heinous, why did these compatriots who had settled there flee?If not, why would the locals be so joyous and festive when the garrison was transported away?
Just for the sake of resources, they willfully provoke other countries as an excuse for war, and the indiscriminate massacre is just for fun.Xuefeng couldn't figure out what made Japan, from the emperor to the common people, cheer for it.War is about death. Is it really so fun to be dead?
The Japanese army is not a person, but a beast that walks on two legs.It's something she's been hearing since she was born, but it's only recently that she's really understood what it means.
She also thought that the navy and the army were completely different, but it was not the army that used ship-borne machine guns to shoot and drive ships to crush the enemy's officers and soldiers who fell into the water.
When dealing with humans who have lost the ability to fight, no matter whether it is the army or the navy, they cannot restrain their desire to kill.They can't learn to be merciful, they are only immersed in killing and pleasure.
It seems that in the whole IJN, she and her crew are the most unusual ones.
She felt sad for the departure of her partner who had sailed together. As time went by, the more she knew, Yukikaze gradually realized that when she fought for the islands on the Pacific battlefield, she created her own country and did it when she invaded other countries. more excessive.
When she saw her comrades die one by one, she thought it was hell, but the real hell was far scarier than she imagined.It's not just the blood dripping on the surface that can be felt by the five senses, but also the fear from the soul, facing the abyss.
The country that created her has a bloody debt, and has turned piece after piece of beautiful scenery into a purgatory on earth.Every land, island, and atoll was stained with the blood of the local people. What made them bleed was the ammunition fired from the Japanese guns and the sabers in their hands.
She used to think that she was pure and innocent, but which of the heavy oil and ammunition supplied to her in every battle was not scavenged from the land of these invading countries?
Our war is a war of honour, and our deeds are neither fair nor just.
Xuefeng is sensitive. While envious of these huge ship spirits who can call the wind and rain and influence the situation of the battle, they are also afraid of them.They are the projections of the country in the face of the gradually out-of-control madness. The instinct from the soul is warning her not to become a moth to the flame, making her wary that getting too close will ignite herself.When following those powerful ship spirits in the past, the negative emotions emanating from them made people uneasy.
This is a kind of chaotic consciousness that is extremely frightening. Apart from accepting instructions, there is only the urge to destroy everything.
At that time, the young Xuefeng didn't understand what this meant, but she wanted to stay away from them while envious of them.
In the end, they all sank into the sea, but they survived.
Come to think of it, maybe it was because of luck.
She was just a little lucky, not reincarnated on the side of the weak, nor on a boat full of blood and debts, not born as a purely killing weapon, this may be her only luck.
The captain and officers and soldiers controlling her still have a trace of humanity, which is very rare in this war that breaks through the bottom line.
She's just luckier.
Volume 117.3: [-] Friendly Advice from Seniors
【congratulations.snow wind. 】 Facing this ship spirit who was already quite calm in his gestures, gestures, speech, and demeanor, Zeppelin nodded reservedly, acting like a serious senior.
After all, it is Griffin who has a good relationship with Xuefeng, not her. It is still a bit difficult for her to show her love for this little destroyer spirit like Griffin.
【Well... China, it doesn't seem to be that far away, don't say it as if it's farewell. 】Saratoga didn't have so many thoughts, she shook her soul slightly. [Anyway, we share the chat channel, where we can express various opinions at any time.If you want to chat privately, just remember our respective bands.Although they are thousands of miles apart, they are still on the same planet after all, so there is no need to say goodbye so solemnly. 】
【yes.I remember, Xuefeng will definitely keep in touch with the seniors... from time to time.I wish everyone happiness and happiness. 】The seniors of IJN have all sunk into the sea, and the only ones who can speak among their kind are these two in front of them.
As for letting Xuefeng chat with another ship spirit named Enterprise... Let her be spared.
【Work hard, eat well, sleep well.Be a good ship spirit. 】Saratoga stretched out his tentacles and scratched his forehead. [If I have to say some parting advice... A warship only lasts for 30 to [-] years, but as long as we are still a warship, we should stand on the last post.May you be able to play your own value in your new home port. 】
【I remember.Thank you Saratoga senior for your parting guidance. 】Xuefeng dwarfed the short soul, and said to Zeppelin: 【Please tell Griffin for me, Xuefeng will always remember the highlight moment when she came down like a god and pulled me out of the nightmare. 】
Zeppelin, with no wavering in his soul, complied.
She was not good at words, although she also wanted to give a few words of encouragement to Xuefeng before leaving like Saratoga, but in the end she gave up the idea.
It's not too far away. If she and Griffin have the opportunity to go to China, it's not too late to meet at that time.
When Xue Feng disappeared in the chat room, Saratoga smiled and said: [What a fun little destroyer.I can feel her growth during the time we were apart, and many things must have happened to her. 】
[Yeah, being able to recognize oneself is a... stage that every ship spirit must go through. ] Zeppelin felt a little bit. [Griffin and I are very happy that she can develop in a good direction. 】
When Zeppelin was born, no one would tell her how to grow up as a ship spirit in the future, but she gradually figured out a set of her own theories during the ups and downs.She believes that the main shaping period of Jian Ling's character is divided into two stages.One is the meaning given by the country of manufacture when it was first born; the other is the concept formed based on one's own experience during service.
Zeppelin was born of hope, but almost fell into the abyss. In the end, Griffin pulled her back and brought her back to the light.
Saratoga and the company were also squeezed out by the giant ship faction at the beginning of their birth, and they both expressed doubts about their own existence, but they never completely fell into despair, and naturally they never saw the horror of the abyss.
So in this regard, Zeppelin thinks she still has a say.
Born of hope, Jian Ling may not always be able to persevere through the trials of despair, and even she needs outside help to get out.
Xuefeng went smoothly from the very beginning, and even the most brutal battles were always accompanied by a positive and optimistic crew. She is a lucky ship spirit, and such a special is difficult to replicate.
[That's why I said that she is a lucky little guy. 】After Saratoga finished speaking, the relaxed and happy atmosphere changed and became serious. [When Griffin came during the day, why didn't you tell her directly about your difficulties? 】
Zeppelin has also considered this question for a long time. [I just hope that I can do my part too.If some things can't be solved, don't disturb her.Not to mention adding troubles, it will also affect her judgment. 】
Griffin has more troubles than himself.Human intrigues and intrigues are more complicated than what Zeppelin is facing now. Fortunately, Griffin still has a few people who are willing to keep the trouble out for her.
As the self called by Griffin one wife at a time, I can't block the troubles from the human world for her, and try to minimize the troubles behind her.
A wife should be a strong backing for her husband. Similarly, a husband should also be a barrier for his wife. If he can't solve the problem for the other party, at least he can make the other half who is exhausted from busy work feel comfortable at any time when they go home. Harbor can be relied on.
[The energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube cannot be controlled by mortals.One day she will not be able to hold on. 】
[So I shared most of it for her, allowing her to age at a normal human speed.She is holding on for me, just because of what I said.If I tell her to stop now, it will negate her previous efforts.Don't worry, old Saratoga, our debt to the Germans will be paid in no time, and that's when we will be free.So far, everything is going well, we even have a slight surplus in terms of depletion and recovery. ] Zeppelin said. 【She wants to contribute so much to the development of mankind. I have never seen her spend so much time and energy on other aspects.This is her own value that she finally found, so let's not disturb her by doing unnecessary things. 】
Griffin's feelings for himself are very unique, and the same is true for her. They are friendships that have experienced life and death, and they are willing to trust each other.
Saratoga's remarks were also based on her knowledge of the Rubik's Cube, and did not represent authority—none of them had the qualifications.
So maybe... there will be exceptions?
From Saratoga's point of view, Zeppelin was still thinking too optimistically.Germany's debt has been paid off, and the United States does not think that there will be no debt disputes between them, and I am afraid that it will be another new debt by then.
Saratoga felt extremely annoyed that he could not help them with his limited ability.
【Okay, I'm still concerned about trouble, right?Don't tell me this is bloody love. 】The senior aircraft carrier Spirit scratched his head with tentacles, feeling like he had a big head. [Humans and ship spirits can't reproduce, are you really going to live your life like this? 】
[Isn't that enough?To live a rich and colorful life in a limited time, if it were you, senior, how would you choose? 】
Of course, how long can you live!
