Before Yuuyu could recover from the 8 aluminum cost of Taihou, he immediately snapped back to reality when he heard his starting ship mention the resource issue.
Yes! I'm a newly appointed admiral, the naval base is still in ruins, and resources are scarce. Yet I need to maintain an Iowa battleship and an armored aircraft carrier, Taiho.
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Gambling Ship
Dafeng returned quickly and is now chatting with Iowa.
Yu Shenhao sat in the spot where he had slept the night before—basically, a relatively flat stone slab. He pondered how to overcome the resource crisis; Iowa's ship equipment was also running low on resources.
It was supposed to be enough for her to eat for a week, but now it's only enough for 3 days. Who told the Admiral to get a Taihou armored carrier through a blood test? And to build the Taihou armored carrier using a formula that guarantees a destroyer with 4 stats and 30 points? What kind of bloodline does the Admiral have? Is this considered lucky? I guess so!
As for the resources that Mikami Hiroyu possessed, Iowa didn't even consider them. His resources weren't even enough for her lunch, let alone Taihou's.
They can only hold out for three days relying on the Iowa destroyer. They need to find resources within those three days. If only a destroyer had come out earlier! A destroyer... Yes! A destroyer!
"So what if the admiral expelled him?" Taiho turned around and asked.
"Iowa, Taiho, what do you say? How about I build one? This time, we'll definitely get a decoy."
"No way," Iowa said without even thinking.
"I'm sure they'll expel them this time, trust me!"
Iowa has seen cases like Mikami Hiroyu's. Those who are obsessed with getting Yamato always believe they will get Yamato, but all they get after gambling with resources are destroyers, the most common kind of destroyers.
Like them, Yu Shen Haoyu was also betting on ships, but unlike them, he didn't want big ships; he only wanted to bet on destroyers.
Thankfully, Iowa knew why Mikami Hiroyu wanted destroyers, otherwise Iowa would have thought Mikami Hiroyu had some peculiar hobby, like liking elementary school students. By the way, Iowa had even seen destroyers with a 90% affinity with them. But before those admirals could do anything, they were taken away by the military police.
"No means no. The resources in my ship's equipment are only enough for me and Taihou to eat for 3 days. If the Admiral builds any more battleships or regular aircraft carriers, we'll go hungry today," Iowa firmly opposed Mikami Hiroyu.
As for Taihou, she looked at Mikami Hiroyu with a pitiful expression, which made Mikami Hiroyu give up the huge temptation of building it again.
Yu Shenhao thought to himself, "World, please give me some resources! How am I supposed to survive like this?!"
Although the world consciousness rejected Yu Shen Haoyu's request to be expelled, it did grant him his request for resources. However, whether he could obtain them depended on his own abilities.
The Maizuru Naval Base where Mikami Hiroyu is located is a large naval base because it is situated on an island surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the sea area it faces is several times larger than that of other naval bases.
Furthermore, Maizuru Naval Base is a relatively important military base and a necessary route for the Abyssal forces to attack humanity.
Mikami Hiroyu's predecessor was from a powerful family. After taking over the Maizuru Naval Base, he spent a great deal of effort to build it. However, after only a few days of use, his own flawed decisions led him and his fleet to pay the price for them.
The previous admiral of Maizuru Naval Base had already conquered up to levels 1-3 and recovered a portion of the sea area. However, due to his failure, the Abyssal Fleet turned the recovered sea area back into its territory.
Since both Iowa and Dafeng oppose rebuilding it, we can only leave it at that.
Mikami Hiroyu's desire to build the Expeditionary Force was not without reason. The main reason was the lack of resources and the absence of supplies from the General Headquarters... He had to obtain everything himself.
The only remaining solution is to address the resource problem from the deep sea. Once the 1-1 outpost in front of the naval base is restored, the resource problem will be solved, along with the issue of accommodation.
Yu Shenhua is currently a second lieutenant, the most basic position for every new admiral. Getting promoted is both simple and difficult; you can rise through the ranks by restoring the sea areas occupied by the Abyssal Fleet. However, restoring the sea areas occupied by the Abyssal Fleet is easy to negotiate.
The furthest we've managed to clear so far is 2-1, and even this seemingly simple 2-1 has already claimed the lives of thousands of admirals and countless ship girls.
Countless new admirals return to the sea without even conquering 1-1, since they only have a starting shipgirl destroyer, and those with incredible luck might be able to build a light cruiser. Then they still have to put in a lot of effort to conquer 1-1.
Those who are unlucky, or those who are just average admirals, can only build destroyers and are then forced to attack 1-1. The conclusion is simple, but also cruel.
Those teachers at the school can only rise to the rank of captain at most. That means they only complete level 1-3 before retiring, since the difficulty of level 1-4 is worlds apart from the difficulty of the previous levels.
如果说新任提督死亡率在1-1居高不下的话,那么1-4便是所有提督的恶梦,只有几个人的度过1-4。达到了现在攻略最远的2-1停了下来观察了起来。
Putting aside their own safety, none of the ship girls who participated in the 1-4 quests ever returned; they all broke their contractual relationship with their admirals.
Therefore, many admirals stopped before level 1-4 and chose to retire. For retired admirals, there are two options: 1. They can teach at the Naval Admiral School, and 2. They can go home directly and receive a large amount of supplies from the government every month.
Now, once I conquer 1-1, my rank will rise to lieutenant. At that point, I can collect my salary and a certain amount of resources, and there are also plenty of resources at the 1-1 outpost in the deep sea.
"Iowa, and Taiho, come here for a moment. We're going to discuss the strategy for level 1-1."
"Yes, Admiral, you even have this method! How could I be so stupid? Admiral is so smart!" Iowa thought of this as soon as she saw Mikami Hiroyu bring up 1-1. As long as 1-1 is conquered, the previous problems will no longer be problems. Even if the Admiral builds any battleships or aircraft carriers, it won't be a problem.
Daihou looked at Yushin Hiroyu with an expression of adoration, making Yushin Hiroyu feel quite embarrassed.
A novice admiral and two ship girls embarked on their first world-changing deep-sea conquest meeting, which was unexpectedly held on ruins.
Hiroyu Mikami held the limited resources he had obtained from the Naval Admiral Academy. Among them was only a map of the area around Maizuru Naval Base 1-1. There were originally two more maps, 1-2 and 1-3, but as for 1-4... well, his predecessor hadn't managed to conquer 1-4 and had even lost his life. However, the captain who had given Mikami the resources, seeing that he was a powerless orphan, hadn't given him any.
The 1-1 map of Yu Shen Haoyu was discovered by later generations while sorting through his belongings. It has since been placed in the National Museum of China, allowing the world to witness the beginning of Yu Shen Haoyu's world-changing journey.
(This is the third chapter... I originally planned to post it tonight, but after seeing the support and donations from ushsus after finishing the writing, I posted it early. There should be another chapter tonight.)
Chapter Sixty-Four: Objective 1-1
According to the blueprints, Mikami Hiroyu could tell that the 1-1 base was quite close to his naval base. He could reach it in 10 minutes by flying, and the ship girls could reach it in 30 minutes.
"Admiral, why don't we take out 1-2 as well? With my and Taihou's combat strength, we can definitely take down 1-2," Iowa said, looking at the map.
"Admiral, I think Iowa is right. With Iowa and me, we can definitely take down 1-2 as well. If we have enough resources, 1-3 will be no problem either," Taihou suggested.
御神浩宇看着图纸,上面标注这1-1深海的战力分布图。根据地图上面的信息,1-1的深海是由5艘驱逐和1艘轻巡组成的一个防御舰队。
So Iowa and Taihou revealed their desire to even get their hands on 1-2. Mikami Hiroyu initially agreed with Iowa's suggestion.
However, after seeing the ruins of the garrison, Mikami Hiroyu had no choice but to give up this tempting idea.
"Let's take down 1-1 first!" Yu Shenhaoyu said, pointing to the 1-1 point on the map.
"Admiral, why don't you take down 1-2 as well? That way, your rank can be promoted to captain, and you can receive more resources then?"
Okay! Iowa wants Mikami Hiroyu to be promoted to captain because he's eyeing the resources he'll receive when he's promoted to captain.
"Taihou nodded in agreement. 'Yes, Admiral. Let me take down 1-2! A few destroyers and light cruisers can be easily taken out.'"
After Taihou finished speaking, Mikami Hiroyu pointed to the still-ruins of the naval base and said, "I also want to conquer 1-2, but our naval base is still in ruins. Our strength is still very weak. Right now, this naval base only has you and Iowa. Although you are very strong, once we show a power that the main naval base cannot control, then the people of the main naval base will try every means to frame us."
Not just on the human side, but also on the deep sea side. If we, as newly appointed admirals, quickly conquer 1-1 to 1-2, do you know what the consequences will be?
Iowa, having spent some time in this world, quickly understood Li Xiaodao's words: "It's estimated that the deep sea will intensify its attacks on us."
"Iowa is right. If that happens, we'll be isolated and helpless. We'll be attacked from the deep sea ahead, and someone will try to sabotage us from behind. So now is not the time. We just need to take down 1-1."
"Then, Admiral, when can we stop worrying about this?" Taiho asked.
"When we have enough power, no matter who it is or what tricks they use, they will be nothing but paper in the face of absolute strength," said Yu Shen Haoyu, stroking Tai Feng's head.
Although Hiroyu Mikami and Taihou were about the same height, it felt awkward for Hiroyu Mikami to touch Taihou's head, but Taihou still looked very happy, and even Iowa looked envious.
“Then let’s take 1-1 as our objective and set off,” said Mikami Hiroyu to Taihou and Iowa.
"Yes"
Because the naval base was still in ruins, Taihou and Iowa could only set off directly from the seaside, but they discovered that their admiral was flying in the air.
Iowa was used to it, but she was a little curious as to why Mikami Hiroyu was flying in the air: "Admiral, what's going on?"
However, Taihou had never seen him before, and looked at the flying Mikami Hiroyu with a surprised expression, saying, "Admiral, how could you...?"
"What? It can fly, right?" Mikami Hiroyu asked, hovering in the air.
"Mmm," Da Feng nodded.
"Consider this my power! You'll see later."
Hearing what Mikami Hiroyu had to say, Taihou was able to suppress his curiosity for the time being.
"Then let's set off!"
"No, no, why is the Admiral coming with me?" Taihou and Iowa said together.
"Can't I go?"
Taihou and Iowa shook their heads simultaneously, saying, "No, Admiral, you can observe the scene through the Soul Network. Admiral, you should stay at the naval base! Although the enemy is just a destroyer, it's still very dangerous for you."
"If you're talking about safety, then you can rest assured, I can guarantee my safety."
I don't believe it.
"How about you look at me with a cannon shot or throw a punch?" Yu Shenhao suggested.
When Taihou and Iowa saw that their admiral insisted on going to the battlefield, in order to make Mikami Hiroyu give up this idea, they could only do as their admiral said and use their fists to make him give up. As for using cannons, Taihou and Iowa never even thought about it.
"Then I'm coming, Admiral!" As a battleship, Iowa's punch was incredibly powerful. In order not to hurt the Admiral, and at the same time to persuade him to give up the idea of going to the front lines, Iowa controlled her power very well.
"bring it on!"
Iowa tried his best to control his power, but just as his fist was about to reach Mikami Hiroyu, Iowa felt his fist hit a wall, and no matter what he did, he could not get close to the admiral.
At first, Iowa thought it was because his strength was insufficient, so he slowly increased it. However, even when he used all his strength, he still couldn't touch Mikami Hiroyu. Instead, he exhausted himself.
"So, can I go now?" Mikami Hiroyu said with a smile.
"It still won't work. What if the stray bullet injures the admiral?" Iowa agreed with Mikami Hiroyu, but Taihou still objected.
Left with no other choice, Mikami Hiroyu asked Taihou to give him a quickie. Taihou initially refused, but Mikami Hiroyu forcibly controlled her ship equipment through the soul network, causing her to give him a quickie.
It's estimated that in this world, only Admiral Hiroyu Mikami would use the Soul Network to fire at himself.
"Admiral, are you alright?!" Iowa and Taihou rushed to Mikami Hiroyu's side immediately after the bomb went off and asked anxiously.
"It's alright. Do you think I can go to the battlefield now?" As the smoke cleared, Yu Shen Haoyu reappeared before them unharmed.
“In that case, I have no objection,” Iowa agreed.
"If the Admiral insists, then I have no choice but to agree," Taihou agreed.
"Then let's head towards 1-1 again, for resources!" Yu Shen Haoyu shouted, flapping his wings in the air.
Mikami Hiroyu's words were a bit impolite. At this point, saying "for the blue sea, for humanity" would be much better than "for resources." But since the admiral was right, the main objective this time was indeed resources.
After Yu Shenhao finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew towards 1-1.
Iowa and Dafeng exchanged a smile.
"Then, Battleship Iowa, anchor and set sail!"
"First Mobile Force, Taihou, launch!"
Above the gray sea, a ray of hope suddenly shone, tracing two sharp arcs as it plunged into the deepest gray depths.
(Chapter 4: Please give flowers, rewards, and favorites).
Chapter Sixty-Five: The Surprising Great Phoenix
Mikami Hiroyu's flight speed wasn't fast, and since this was a route to the deep sea, he wasn't worried about being discovered. Sometimes he was in front of Taihou and Iowa, sometimes behind them, having a lot of fun.
Aside from his time in the void, Yu Shen Haoyu is only 11 years old in real life.
As Taihou and Iowa watched Mikami Hiroyu soar through the air, their spirits lifted.
Soon they arrived at base 1-1. As they approached the base, Mikami Hiroyu felt an unsettling deep-sea resentment, with a dark mass looming ahead.
Mikami Hiroyu had no choice but to descend from the sky and float beside Taihou and Iowa.
It seems that the deep sea on the opposite side has discovered Yu Shen Haoyu and his group, and has launched several probing attacks from the other side.
Then, six Abyssal ships quickly appeared on the other side. Although they looked similar to ship girls, they were all relatively low-level Abyssal destroyers and light cruisers, with most of their bodies made of Abyssal resentment.
In terms of sheer numbers, Mikami Hiroyu is no match for the opposing Abyssal Fleet. However, this isn't a game of sheer numbers where whoever has the most wins. This is war, a war where the strongest prevails.
In a single round, just one round, the opposing Abyssal Fleet was sunk by Taihou and Iowa. Iowa took them down one by one with each shot, saying as she fired her first shot, "Then let me show you my firepower! Fire!" She fired a total of three shots, taking away half of the enemy's fighting force.
Taihou simply said, "Excellent children, show them your true power!" Then she launched her carrier-based aircraft. A beautiful firework appeared on the sea, followed by dozens of carrier-based aircraft appearing above the remaining three Abyssal Fleet ships. The goblins on the carrier-based aircraft accurately dropped bombs on the Abyssal Fleet's heads. Under the attack of dozens of carrier-based aircraft, the remaining three Abyssal Fleet ships were quickly sunk.
After the deep sea was destroyed by Mikami Hiroyu's ship girls, the surrounding sea returned to its original azure blue. The aura of the deep sea that had made Mikami Hiroyu uncomfortable also disappeared.
While collecting their ship equipment, Taihou and Iowa said, "Admiral, we've completed 1-1. Let's go ashore!"
Mikami Hiroyu nodded, and after Taihou and Iowa packed up their ship equipment, they went ashore on the original 1-1.
After landing, the one person and two ship girls searched the island for resources, and they actually found quite a lot. After plundering the resources, Mikami Hiroyu left with his fleet of only two ship girls.
Yuuichi returned to his Maizuru Naval Base and eagerly began to analyze his spoils. After clearing the resources and deducting those consumed in the operation, he arrived at a result that greatly satisfied him. According to the complete count, Yuuichi had reaped 1000 million steel, 2000 oil, 1500 aluminum, and 4000 ammunition in this 1-1 battle. It was a very successful haul, and this result even gave Yuuichi the idea of taking 1-2.
Once Yu Shenhaoyu had this idea, it spread through his mind. If there were so many resources in 1-1, how could there be so few in 1-2? After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Shenhaoyu finally gave up this tempting idea.
I kept telling myself, "The timing isn't right yet. Anyway, the resources in positions 1 and 2 are there and won't disappear. They'll be mine sooner or later. Don't rush things, and don't lose sight of the bigger picture."
After mentally rehearsing it many times, I finally gave up the idea of winning 1-2.
The resources obtained from this campaign, if used frugally, will be enough for Taihou and Iowa to last a month. If you add the rewards from conquering the 1-1 Naval Base and your own salary, then it will last for two months.
