"Even so, Nagato should be angry at Mutsu's Admiral, so why is she taking her resentment out on my Admiral?"
Akagi was quite unhappy. She had intended to show off in front of the Admiral, but unexpectedly, it resulted in both of them facing embarrassment. To be honest, if Nagato hadn't left in such a hurry, Akagi would have likely revealed her Carrier-Based Aircraft to throw it in the opponent's face.
"If it were just because that Admiral mismanaged things leading to the sinking of Little Luou, then Little Nagato wouldn't act this way. As the only one among our Japanese Fleet Girls who can compete with Lexington for the position of Secretary Ship at the Naval Base, Little Nagato is still very rational; it's just that the reasons behind this are not as simple as you think."
Saying this, Feng Xiang suddenly turned her gaze to Chuyang and said, " Chutong, let me ask you a question. Suppose behind your Naval Base are tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and in front of your Naval Base, there is a fleet led by Deep Sea Tirpitz. What would you choose?"
"Isn't that obvious? Just go for it," Chuyang replied without hesitation.
As an Admiral, he had both the responsibility and obligation to protect the lives and property of ordinary civilians. Moreover, an entire fleet led by Deep Sea Tirpitz signifies countless resources and Merit points. Since Prince of Wales and others returned to the Naval Base, Chuyang had been worried about resources, so encountering such an opportunity was something he couldn't let slip away.
"You..." A hint of anger flashed across Feng Xiang's face but was quickly suppressed. She looked at Akagi with a somewhat pitying gaze and said, "Little Akagi, do you really think it's good to follow such an Admiral?"
"You..." Lexington also had a displeased expression, but her ire was directed at Feng Xiang. It was unreasonable for someone to slander her own Admiral in front of her and expect her to respond kindly.
"Well, Fengxiang, while Deep Sea Tirpitz is indeed powerful, in front of our Naval Base, it's just that."
Akagi understood what Feng Xiang meant, so she quickly spoke up to stop the retort from Lexington.
"Little Akagi, whether it's you or her, your skill level has already reached max level, and you have B25 as an extraordinary Carrier-Based Aircraft. But do you really think that just with two Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls, you can contend with Deep Sea Tirpitz? Even if you are both aircraft carriers, it’s absolutely impossible."
"Who says our Naval Base only has me and Akagi as the two Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls?" replied Lexington.
"Little Akagi, isn't it? Do you mean to say that your Naval Base has other powerful capital ships?" Feng Xiang was taken aback. To her, someone like Chuyang, who had just graduated from the Naval Academy, could only have built a Lexington at the academy, and with her childhood friend Akagi, having a few Destroyers would already be quite lucky, so she didn't think much of it.
"Uh!" Akagi was a bit tongue-tied and said with an embarrassed expression, "Actually, what I told you earlier about looking for my Admiral is true, but there is a bit of exaggeration in it."
"What exaggeration?"
"Uh, well." Akagi cautiously glanced at the bewildered Chuyang, gritted her teeth, and decided to come clean: "My Admiral and I are not childhood friends, and the Admiral doesn't only have me as his Fleet Girl."
"You, you." Feng Xiang smiled helplessly, unsure of what to say.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Childhood friends? You are the Admiral's only one." Lexington said with a smirk while lightly rubbing the ring on her left ring finger.
"However, even if your Naval Base has one or two more powerful capital ships, it still won't be able to compete with Deep Sea Tirpitz."
Feng Xiang said solemnly: "You who have never fought against a flagship-level Deep Sea Shipgirl will never understand the power of Deep Sea Tirpitz."
"Feng Xiang, you are mistaken. Not long ago, I fought against Deep Sea Tirpitz. I am very aware of her strength. But in front of our Naval Base, as long as she dares to come, she shouldn't expect to leave unscathed," Lexington said confidently.
If before, when Prince of Wales and others had not yet been found, their Naval Base indeed lacked the ability to resist Deep Sea Tirpitz. But now it was no longer a question of whether they could resist; it was about whether they could completely suppress Deep Sea Tirpitz.
"Little Akagi, why don't you tell me which Fleet Girls you have at your Naval Base?" Feng Xiang said with a wry smile. Until she understood the situation better, she decided it was best not to jump to conclusions.
"As of now, there aren't many. We have four Aircraft Carrier Ship Girls: myself, Lexington, Saratoga, and Enterprise. For Battleships, we have Richelieu, Prince of Wales, Veneto, Andrea Doria, and Kayo. The remaining ones are Light Cruiser Ship Girls Isuzu and Kirov and Destroyers Firefly, Amethyst, Aviere, Carmicia, as well as Submarines Bluefin Tuna and Shooting Fish."
"Chutong, is your last name Su?"
"Nope, my last name is Chu."
"Are you sure you don't have any other surnames or former names?" Feng Xiang asked. There was no helping it; she had seen situations like Chuyang's before, but that was a long time ago. It was the same with the newly graduated Newbie Admiral from the Naval Academy, who commanded a rare group of Fleet Girls that everyone envied.
"The surname is given by my parents; how could I change it? Since I was born, I've been surnamed Chu."
"Alright! I must have been mistaken." Feng Xiang sighed and asked Akagi again, "Little Akagi, how about the strength of these Fleet Girls?"
"I'm not too sure. I only just found the Admiral today; let Lexington answer you!"
"Feng Xiang, let me put it this way! In our Naval Base, the only Fleet Girls who have reached maximum level are me, Jaja, Akagi, Richelieu, and Prince of Wales."
"What about their equipment?"
"Jaja and I are slightly behind; we only have BTD-1 Destroyers and Sea Vipers as Carrier-Based Aircraft. The others are all equipped with golden or colorful gear, such as B25s, MK6s, and Type 91 armor-piercing shells."
"......" Feng Xiang was completely speechless. When did BTD-1s become considered subpar equipment? She had been around for nearly seventy years since her birth and couldn't even gather a set of BTD-1s. Had she really wasted her years?
After a long silence, Feng Xiang finally blurted out, "Chutong, do you also have the cutest Fleet Girl in the world, Little Tirpitz?"
"Yes! Feng Xiang, how did you know? Not only do I have the cutest Little House in the world, but I also have Rodney."
"......" You city folks have too many tricks up your sleeves; I want to go back to the countryside.
