Elder brother's garrison

“Yes…” Xiaobai nodded.

"Well, according to the tradition of our naval base, every modified ship girl needs to find a sparring partner to demonstrate her combat power! When it's time to show our strength later, shouldn't we... shouldn't we... find that person?" Everyone got excited again and then looked into the crowd.

Xiao Bai looked in the direction of the crowd and smiled slightly when he saw his target.

Ok……

This choice is indeed in line with people's wishes.

Jean Bart certainly didn't want to show her strength; she just wanted to slack off and make excuses. However, no matter how Jean Bart tried to avoid it, with Xiao Bai there, she definitely couldn't escape.

Finally, despite his great reluctance, Jean Bart could only be pushed and shoved by the ship girls and sent to the training ground.

Ning Lu and the ship girls from Jin Shiqi's family, who were originally training on the training ground, finally had a chance to rest and ran ashore.

Ning Lu and the ship girls of Jin Shiqi's family did not receive Xiao Bai's mental power, so they were naturally unaware of Jean Bart's existence.

In the eyes of these ship girls, the instructors at the newbie naval base simply told them to go ashore to rest, and then a group of them gathered by the water, excitedly watching the training ground, as if they were plotting some plan.

The ship girls from both companies were initially a little confused, but they quickly came to their senses.

The ship girls of the world's number one naval base...

How could ordinary ship girls possibly guess what they like to do on a normal day? Anyway, it's a rare time to rest, so instead of thinking about random things, they might as well lie on the ground and relax...

Amid the expectant gazes of the ship girls, Jean Bart and the sparring partner chosen by everyone faced each other at opposite ends of the training ground.

"Sigh... why you of all people..." Jean Bart pouted, looking distressed. "If I fight with you, I won't be able to catch any fish at all..."

"Then let Senior Barr go easy on us, and let Missouri win this match?" Missouri asked with a smile from the other side of the water.

"That definitely won't do... If I don't fight with all my might and the admiral sees me, she'll punish me." Jean Bart pouted.

“I see.” Missouri said with a smile. “Missouri is also looking forward to sparring with Jeanbart, who is also a missile battleship… although Missouri cheated in this battle.”

"Cheating?"

“After all, Missouri was only aware of the senior’s existence because of the admiral,” Missouri said. “Without the admiral, Missouri wouldn’t have been able to fight the senior, let alone realize when he was defeated.”

"Humph……"

"So, senior, before we get into serious combat, would you like Missouri to give us a little practice run with the missile ship equipment?" Missouri asked.

"Hmph! I'm not an ordinary ship girl. I don't need to learn how to use missiles and ship equipment. I can learn them in no time!" Jean Bart looked at Missouri with great confidence.

"I see, then Missouri can rest assured."

Missouri smiled upon hearing this.

Under the sunlight, the water surface of the entire training field shimmered.

A light shone behind Missouri, and a snow-white guided warship appeared with a gentle breeze.

Jeanbart also raised his hand, mimicking Missouri, and summoned his ship equipment amidst a burst of light and a gentle breeze.

……

"Oh! It's starting!"

At the edge of the training ground, the ship girls cheered excitedly.

Xiaobai was looking at the two ship girls on the water, full of anticipation, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Huh? Where is it... That's strange."

"There was definitely a reaction before..."

Xiaobai turned around and saw a ship girl wearing a sailor uniform with a pleated skirt, a red scarf around her neck, and short pink hair with fox ears, curiously searching the training ground. She muttered to herself as she paced back and forth, her delicate body constantly searching for something.

Jinan?

what is she doing?

Xiao Bai is confused.

Chapter 3061 Stop! What you're doing isn't missile warfare at all!

The area around the training ground is like a cruise ship in Montana. Because the ship girls' schedules have been arranged here recently, many container-like cargo racks have been placed on the shore to facilitate their work and training. Ship girls from both inside and outside the newbie naval base can use them at will.

The shelves are usually filled with instant bread, bottled water, various kinds of oil, aluminum, live ammunition, training ammunition, spare clothes, and a large number of rapid repair devices.

The sponsor of the above goods, needless to say, is of course the rookie naval base.

Do you remember when Ning Lu and the ship girls from Jin Shiqi's family first came to the training ground? They were all stunned by the mountain of supplies in front of them, especially when they were told that they could use these supplies at will, and even take some back with them every day when they went home? They all showed an expression of worship on the spot, as if they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Xiaobai in gratitude.

What are supplies?

Supplies are the lifeblood of ship girls.

Just as girls are born to love jewelry, ship girls are born to love resources.

This is an instinctive affection; no ship girl can resist this feeling.

Although the quantity of these supplies seemed intimidating, even making Jin Shiqi and Ning Lu's ship girls hesitant at times, the amount was actually manageable for Xiaobai. This was how her ship girls spent their money when she was in the newbie naval base. Moreover, when she recently went to purchase these supplies, Xiaobai didn't even need to report to the newbie naval base thousands of miles away. She only needed to call Missouri to her dormitory, take her admiral's certificate to the admiral's guild, and the admiral's guild staff would use the relevant channels to continuously bring over the supplies.

Well... of course, these supplies weren't stolen; they were bought honestly.

still remember.

As a reward for successfully conquering Chapter 8, Xiaobai received a small share of the city's profits. Although the share was only a "small portion," its sheer size still made it a terrifying figure that even surprised Xiaobai. If that huge sum were only used to buy daily training supplies, it would be just a drop in the ocean.

Xiao Bai watched Jinan dart in and out of containers and shelves, and then into one trash can after another, rummaging around inside for a while before popping her head out, covered in a layer of dry leaves, searching left and right.

Finally, Xiaobai couldn't help but call out.

"Jinan, what are you doing?"

"Huh?" Jinan, who was in the trash can, suddenly widened her eyes upon hearing Xiaobai's voice. She quickly looked over at Xiaobai. "Oh my! I knew that voice was familiar. It's the Admiral!"

After Jinan finished speaking, he pressed the edge of the trash can and rummaged through it.

wow-

As Jinan emerged from the trash can, several dry leaves were brought out with it.

The trash can was very tall, and Jinan's eyes were fixed on Xiaobai, so when she crawled out of the trash can, she lost her footing and fell hard on her bottom with a thud.

"oops!"

Jinan's two white-stockinged legs parted towards Xiaobai, and she swayed her upper body, rubbed her buttocks, stood up, grinned at Xiaobai, and ran towards him.

"What were you looking for just now?" Xiaobai asked Jinan after she ran up to him. "Going through the shelves is one thing, but why did you crawl into the trash can... it's dirty there."

"Comrade Admiral, you're wrong, you're wrong!" Jinan quickly raised his finger, made a small X in front of his mouth, and said to Xiaobai, "The trash cans in the training ground are very clean! They only contain fallen leaves. I hid in them when I was playing hide-and-seek with Fubuki and the others! It's fine to crawl in there!"

After Jinan finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward, hugged Xiaobai's arm, and gestured for Xiaobai to smell his scent.

Jinan does indeed have a grassy fragrance, without the smell of rotten garbage.

"Okay..." Xiaobai nodded, looking at Jinan's explaining expression. "So what exactly are you looking for?"

"Oh dear, it's all because of the task assigned to me by the Admiral!"

"Hmm? What mission was it again?"

"Didn't the admiral tell me to look for ship girls with missile modification qualifications in this temporary naval base?"

"Hmm... I did say that, so what happened?"

"I'm definitely strictly carrying out the Admiral's orders!" Jinan quickly put his hands on his hips and said confidently to Xiaobai, "Reporting to the Admiral! In the past few days, I've been diligently searching for ship girls with missile modification qualifications every day!"

"I see... So, did you find it?"

"Uh...no." Jinan lowered her hand, looked down, and said pitifully, biting her lip, "I've searched all over Admiral Nia's ship girls, but it seems like none of them can be converted into missile ship equipment..."

"Pfft." Xiaobai covered her mouth, looking at Jinan's adorable appearance, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh." Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Admiral!" Jinan quickly raised his hands and said to Xiaobai, "Although I haven't found any ship girls for missile modification all day, just now... my modification beam suddenly reacted! I sensed the presence of a ship girl nearby who can accept the modification beam!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes widened immediately, filled with curiosity. "Really? Who is it?"

“…It’s gone.” Jinan lowered his head again.

"...How could we not find it?"

"It was clearly around here before!" Jinan said angrily, waving his arms. "Damn it, but when I got here to investigate, the reaction suddenly disappeared!"

"There's such a thing... Could it be that the qualification for modifying missile ship equipment is something that only appears occasionally?"

"That's right, how could that be..." Jinan also looked incredulous, looking left and right.

Seeing Jinan's determined look, Xiaobai smiled slightly and waved to him.

"Forget it, Jinan, it's just the ship girls in our naval base that are reacting, right? In that case, there's no need to rush for a day or two." Xiaobai looked at the training ground, "There's an event going on at the training ground, why don't we watch the training ground first?"

"Huh? The training ground?" Jinan listened to Xiaobai's words and took a few steps closer to Xiaobai, looking towards the training ground. "Oh right, I just noticed that the training ground is very lively today. What's going on?"

"Jean Barth's transformation is complete, and Missouri is preparing to have a friendly spar with her to warm her up."

"Huh? Jean Bart's transformation is so fast?!"

"Ah... um... uh... yes." Xiaobai looked away, subconsciously touching her neck where Yubari had bitten her, and glanced somewhat awkwardly at the modification workshop. "...Indeed, it was quite fast..."

Jinan rushed into Xiaobai's arms, standing on tiptoe as she looked at the two people gazing at each other from afar on the training field.

Under the sunlight, Jinan's pair of sea-blue eyes gradually shone brightly.

"Wow...is this a duel between missile battleships?!"

"Yes."

"Comrade Admiral, who do you think will win?" Jinan turned around and looked at Xiaobai excitedly.

"This question is too cruel for me..." Xiaobai looked at Jinan with a wry smile, "Janbar is a special ship girl."

"Does the admiral think Jean Bart will win?"

"...Hmm...I'll still choose Missouri."

"Ah~"

……

While the ship girls on the shore were watching the battle with great enthusiasm, Jean Bart and Missouri on the water in the training field also released their ship equipment and looked at each other from afar.

“What a surprise.” Missouri examined Jean Bart’s ship equipment for a while. “Missouri had previously heard from Yubari-senpai that Jean Bart-senpai’s missile warfare modification was based on Missouri’s design drawings, but judging from the appearance, the ship equipment doesn’t seem to be very similar.”

“After all, if it were exactly the same, it would be plagiarism,” Jean Bart said, closing his eyes and nodding.

“I see.” Missouri gently covered her mouth, smiling at Jean Bart. “Senior Jean Bart, shall we begin?”

"Okay."

"Please make the first move, senior."

“No, no, no, you do it, I’ll just watch,” Jeanbart said, declining.

"I didn't expect you to take such good care of Missouri, senior." Missouri smiled, gently stroking the ship's cannon behind her with her fair and delicate hands. "Well then... as a friendly exchange, Missouri will... make a small fool of herself."

Finished.

The water surface fell silent.

next moment.

A gentle breeze is blowing.

boom! ! !

Missouri quickly raised its cannon and fired a shot in the direction of Jean Bart.

Missouri did not use its missile capabilities, but instead, like a battleship, fired ordinary artillery at Jean Bart.

Although Missouri has been converted into a missile battleship and her shipboard gunnery capabilities have declined somewhat, she still retains the combat awareness of a top-tier battleship from her battleship days. The gunfire she unleashes remains accurate and sharp.

Missouri's shells streaked across the training ground like meteors, hurtling toward Jeanbart.

Jean Bart looked at the shells in front of him and pouted helplessly.

The next moment, Jean Bart subtly shifted his body, using his ship's equipment to evade Missouri's shelling.

Boom! ! !

Missouri's shells created huge waves behind Jeanbart.
