"At that time, she wanted to access the confidential database of Naval Headquarters to look up the files of a Naval Base... In the end, she successfully persuaded Prince of Wales, one of the Three Admirals, to grant her access to the database... She searched tirelessly in the database for ten days and nights, almost going through all the materials, but still found nothing... By the way, more than a month before she came to Campbell Island, this little guy next to you visited Campbell Island once accompanied by Reputation. However, it seems that Prince of Wales, one of the Three Admirals, is not the Prince of Wales she was looking for... Because she never deployed her ship equipment on the island, it was impossible to determine whether she inherited the name of the Battleship from the Old World as a Fleet Girl. But I estimate that her strength should be very formidable... By the way, she went by the name Lin Qing. As for more information, I'm not too clear."
Glancing at the silent Kongou, Chuyang felt a bit frustrated; saying this was like saying nothing at all. However, Lin Qing, it must be said, is truly a sister! Even their names are so synchronously similar.
Nevertheless, trying to find someone with just a name in a city like Rongcheng with a population of several million is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, Lin Qing is such a common name; there are probably hundreds if not thousands of people with that name in all of Rongcheng. As for contacting the government’s household registration department through the Admiral Alliance's office in Rongcheng to search for her, that is also quite unrealistic. This isn’t like Chuyang's previous life on that technologically advanced Earth where you could quickly find someone by entering relevant information into the public security department's household registration system. In this era without computers, everything remains on paper files, and government departments do not comprehensively register information about both permanent and transient populations in Rongcheng, so alternative methods must be considered.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, your academy's Dean, Lexington, should know about Lexington," Kongou added after some thought.
"........" Chuyang looked speechless. Big sister, couldn't you just say everything in one breath? Why did you have to take such a big pause in between? This could lead to serious consequences...
After finishing up on the topic of Lexington and Saratoga, while waiting for their meal to arrive, Shen Yan began imparting some experiences about being an Admiral to Chuyang.
"Xiaoyangzi, once you arrive at the Naval Base, your first task is not to immediately dive into specific matters at the base but rather to visit nearby Naval Bases. Remember, this point is very important. Although generally speaking, there won't be overly powerful Deep Sea Shipgirls in coastal areas, this is not absolute. Therefore, maintaining good relations with nearby Naval Bases becomes particularly crucial... In times of crisis, whether support fleets can arrive in time often concerns the lives and deaths of your subordinate Fleet Girls... Help is mutual; thus when other Naval Bases send you distress signals, you must not hesitate... Don't listen to those politicians' flowery words; remember that as an Admiral, you can completely ignore them... Sometimes, merit isn't that important; you need to understand what to prioritize between it and your Fleet Girls... If by chance you salvage some Wreckage of Warships, don't rush into construction; first check if your resources at the Naval Base are sufficient... No matter what happens, resource reserves at your base must be able to support your subordinate Fleet Girls in waging a high-intensity war... Fireflies are Destroyers, and if you're lucky enough to salvage both Lexington and Saratoga, don't rush into using high-consumption formulas to gamble on a Battleship or battlecruiser. Although they are powerful, their drop rates are extremely low; consuming all resources at your base and salvaged wreckage may not yield them. Thus, suitable options are always best."
"With both Lexington and Saratoga, in most cases against occasional appearances of the coastal Deep Sea Fleet, just relying on carrier-based aircraft for initial strikes can wipe out an entire fleet. Therefore, your base does not necessarily need any more Battleships or Battlecruiser Shipgirls. What you should consider are those who can provide anti-submarine support, air defense, and escort for your aircraft carriers: namely, Destroyers, Light Cruisers, and Heavy Cruiser Girls. So prioritize building these types of Fleet Girls."
"Xiaoyangzi, honestly speaking, big sister doesn't have high hopes for whether you'll manage to salvage both Lexington and Saratoga. So there's a high possibility that when you first arrive at the Naval Base, you'll only have Firefly as your one and only {Fleet Girl}. Little kiddo, I'm stating facts here; don't rush to refute."
"In such circumstances, just arrange for little kiddo to escort passing ships! Never think about launching an offensive against any Deep Sea Shipgirl . Remember that accumulating strength and developing steadily is your main task at this stage... When faced with a Deep Sea Fleet that you cannot handle, do not rashly send Firefly into battle; first contact nearby Naval Bases to form a Combined Fleet ... If based on your assessment even uniting with nearby Naval Bases cannot deter the Deep Sea Fleet then immediately report it to Admiral Alliance . After that, until reinforcements from the alliance arrive, do not concern yourself with how other Admirals act. Take Firefly and evacuate from Naval Base immediately..."
"Wait a minute, senior sister. Isn't it stipulated in the Admiral code that when encountering attacks from Deep Sea Fleet we must do our utmost to intercept Deep Sea Shipgirls and ensure regional safety?" As he spoke, Chuyang looked towards Kongou. He actually already had an answer in mind regarding this question; what he was concerned about was how Naval Headquarters would respond after such incidents occurred.
"Act according to one's ability." Jingang simply uttered these four words and turned his gaze towards the window.
Saying this does not mean that the Fleet Girls are unkind. On the contrary, each of the Fleet Girls possesses a purity of spirit that surpasses that of most humans.
It is precisely because of this that when faced with situations that are known to be unachievable, a single erroneous command from an Admiral can often cost many Fleet Girls their lives.
Therefore, when such situations arise, as long as the consequences are not too severe and do not result in significant casualties, Naval Headquarters tends to adopt a "turning a blind eye" approach. Of course, if an Admiral is overly fearful and avoids battle, that would be a different matter.
After obtaining the answers he sought, during the meal, Chuyang also consulted Shen Yan on various issues regarding Naval Base. By the end of the meal, Chuyang had developed a clear plan for the future development of his Naval Base.
Now, it was time to return to the academy for the allocation meeting of the Naval Base. He just hoped he would be assigned to a coastal Land-Based Naval Base as he wished.
