Naval Headquarters.
Shangri-La was in a great mood.
She happily tossed the battle report in her hand to Essex, who was standing nearby.
“See? Didn’t I tell you there wouldn’t be any problem leaving this port to him? This little guy did great, he has some of our style back in the day!”
Essex quickly scanned the battle report in front of her.
At 8:17 AM that day, the Tianqing Port Fleet’s flagship, Gascogne, supported the Headquarters’ defending fleet in the Tianqing Port sea area, which was under attack. At 8:20 AM, the incoming Siren Fleet was completely annihilated…
Essex was a bit stunned; this battle record… was terrifying!
If she hadn’t known that no one would dare to falsify military achievements, and that the source of the news was her own garrison fleet, she wouldn’t have believed the accuracy of this intelligence!
She could only nod blankly. Hearing about it was one thing, but truly witnessing such a battle record, she only then realized how terrifying that little guy, who had forced himself to stay calm but could still speak eloquently, truly was!
“Report his military achievements. Just write ‘Tianqing Port Fleet annihilated incoming Siren Fleet’. Three Elite Executors sunk, 364 production models. As for other details, hmm, let them guess!”
Shangri-La stroked her chin: “Gascogne, a model I’ve never heard of…”
Deep within an unknown sea area.
In a spacious room, on a giant holographic projection, Gascogne was shown rushing out of cannon fire, dodging all attacks, then soaring into the air with full firepower, the screen engulfed in a red barrage…
“This is the last message sent back from the surface fleet. From her entering the battlefield until our fleet was completely destroyed, it took only three minutes. To be more precise, it was 2 minutes and 14 seconds, and that includes her sea travel time!”
“What I want to know is, what model is this exactly? Why is there no information about her in our database at all?” Observer looked at the direction of the darkness in the distance and asked in a deep voice.
“She is called Gascogne.”
“Richelieu-class Ship No. 4.”
“The ship’s class is defined as the highest protocol.”
“It is the highest protocol specifically developed against us.”
A fragmented voice spoke, carrying a hint of laziness and weakness, as if the owner of the voice was still in slumber and not fully awake.
“Why do you have her information, but we have absolutely nothing?” Observer questioned again.
“In fact, at first, you also had her complete data. But after multiple repeated loadings, these classified data have been re-removed from your database. And the information I have is not much. In fact, that’s all there is to know about her.” The fragmented voice said unhurriedly, seemingly not noticing the questioning tone in Observer’s voice.
“I know you are at a critical moment right now, but you must tell us what her appearance signifies! And why did you wake up at this time? This is at least 100 years ahead of our plan. And what about our action plan? This is already completely at odds with our original plan! Even all pre-selection plans are invalid!” Observer was aggressive, clearly unsatisfied with this answer.
“Naturally, it’s because it’s time to awaken.”
“My awakening is precisely for these things. Since the situation has taken a turn, the plan naturally needs to be changed again. This is precisely the purpose of my awakening.”
“As for the more data you need. I apologize, this part of the data is written into the Most Sacred Covenant, and you do not have the authority to know it!”
The Most Sacred Covenant! Observer was silent for a moment, then continued to speak.
“I am already the highest Commander of this sea area, even if it concerns the Most Sacred Covenant, I should have the right to know everything!”
“You used to be,” the lazy voice replied unhurriedly. “Even if you are the highest Commander, you are still an Executor. An Executor has no need to know this information. You only need to carry out orders.”
The conversation fell into a stalemate.
In the end, Observer still chose to back down.
“Then what should our strategy be now? He already possesses the strength to change the entire war situation. Now our strategy cannot be implemented at all!”
“You only need to act according to the original plan. As for him, I will handle it myself. As for what to do next, I will naturally have a newer plan.”
...
“Why is Gascogne a god? First, there’s Richelieu, who committed the sin of arrogance, believing that because she was the lead ship of the Richelieu-class, she could do whatever she wanted…”
“Cough, cough.” An untimely cough came from outside the door.
Wang Yu looked up. Glorious was leaning against the door, one hand on her hip, smiling.
“Alright, Commander, stop praising Gascogne. I think Gascogne’s cooling system is about to break down. Why don’t you hurry up and have her repair it?”
“Gascogne’s cooling system detected normal…”
However, everyone pretended not to hear, after all, Gascogne always said that. This self-check program felt very unscientific, even less reliable than shipbuilding.
“How can I do that? Gascogne is so amazing, a lifetime of praise isn’t enough.” Wang Yu, caught red-handed by Glorious, didn’t feel embarrassed and replied with a chuckle.
He was in an excellent mood now; good news kept pouring in, and various commendations flowed continuously. This time, Tianqing Port had made a name for itself in one battle, and it had not let down Shangri-La’s care.
A flicker of panic crossed Gascogne’s eyes. Her cheeks were flushed with an alluring blush, making one want to kiss her.
Noticing the Commander looking over, her pretty eyelashes fluttered, and she shyly averted her gaze.
He stopped teasing Gascogne then.
“What is it? Glorious, do you have any news? Is it another thank-you letter from Headquarters? Or from Xianhua City?”
“No, Commander. It’s Pennsylvania, from the Headquarters’garrison fleet that was here before, requesting to visit our port another day.”
Pennsylvania, the image of that tall, uninhibited older sister flashed through Wang Yu’s mind.
He understood that the other party wanted to personally thank Gascogne for her assistance.
“What do you think, Commander? Do you agree?”
Wang Yu thought for a moment. The matters of the port were mostly handled now, and it was time to open up a bit. There was no need to be completely closed off like before.
So he nodded: “Alright, just have her notify us before she comes.”
He had been at the port for a long time and had never left it. It was time to make some time to go and look around the vicinity of the port to understand the situation in other parts of this world.
