As Hahara Mio talked about it, the details of the mission gradually took shape in Wang Yu's mind.
To put it simply, in the past two days, the Navy General Administration suddenly received an urgent report that a large-scale Siren fleet, including at least several battleships, suddenly appeared in a safe area between the main continent and the subcontinent. The sea area was then seen by the transport fleet that happened to pass by at that time.
The transport fleet had only a small number of ship escorts at the time, so those dedicated escorts led the transport fleet to flee in a hurry after noticing the siren fleet. Fortunately, the sirens seemed to be heading north and did not approach them anymore. Only by discovering them could they escape.
After the Siren fleet was far away from the all-channel jamming phenomenon and disappeared, they panicked and sent an emergency signal to the nearest Navy Headquarters signal station.
The uncharacteristic appearance of a large number of sirens in safe waters was obviously a matter worthy of attention, so the Navy Administration immediately stopped most of the transportation in this sea area on the grounds that the waterway was threatened by sirens, and Inform freighters already on the transport line to proceed with caution.
At the same time, the relevant departments of the Navy Headquarters began to evaluate the siren fleet. The result was simple. That is, the siren must be destroyed, and the action must be fast, and the problem must be solved in one hit.
If it were just a sighting record of the Siren fleet, then the Navy Ministry would not be so anxious. The main reason is that this Siren fleet does pose a threat to the human world.
The reason is also easy to understand. Although the current Siren fleet is still some distance away from the nearest main continent, they set off to the north uncharacteristically. According to the current trajectory, they will be close to a distance within a few days. Coastal safe waters are dangerously far away.
A large number of towns are distributed along the coast, and a large number of economic lines are distributed along the safe coastal waters. Therefore, as long as there is a possibility that the Siren will approach the coast, the urgency must be increased. Therefore, an emergency mission is formed.
After all, a few months ago, the Siren fleet bombarded coastal cities, so the Naval Administration could not take the risk of a similar thing happening again and ignore this Siren fleet whose purpose had been exposed.
Therefore, the relevant person in charge of the Navy Headquarters was thinking, "Did the Siren taste the sweetness in the last attack?" while ordering the nearest joint port area - that is, the joint port area where Hahara Mio is located, to be responsible for the extermination. This is a threat that is moving north quickly.
This is not the first time that the Navy's agencies in the Union Port Area have done this kind of thing. They are also familiar with the so-called headquarter branch breaking off their legs with just one mouth, so they immediately follow the usual practice and report to the Union Port Area. Several commanders issued special missions to encircle and suppress the Sirens.
Of course, the rewards for this kind of special mission are also very rich.
According to their contribution, commanders who participate in the battle against the Sirens can receive rewards including military merit, resources, and some rare materials (such as the aforementioned chips).
And even those commanders who failed to demonstrate their worth in battle—that is, commanders who took advantage of the battle against the Sirens—can still receive a sum of money to make up for the ammunition and fuel consumed by the fleet's attack.
Due to the high siren threat in this mission, the mission is not open to commanders with a limited fleet size. Only three commanders, including Mio Hahara, have received mission notifications, and these three commanders will lead three fleets. Work together to surround the Sirens and annihilate them all.
According to the branch's plan, Hahara Mio had at least ten battleships to form a fleet, four of which must be capital ships.
Capital ships are easy to understand, that is, battleships that can provide the main output of combat operations, including heavy cruise ships and above.
In fact, based on the projection amount, the light cruiser can also be used as the main force in the battle against the sirens. However, the output of the light cruiser is unstable and relies heavily on its own position and output environment, so it is excluded from the scope of the battleship.
In short, after Hahara Mio informed Wang Yu of the combat plan she received, the latter finally understood why Hahara Mio came to her specifically for help.
Her port area can indeed gather four capital ships - she has three large-caliber battlecruisers alone. In addition to Tiancheng and King Kong, which Wang Yu already knows, there is also a battleship Dunkirk. Not to mention she also has some heavy cruisers there.
But here's the problem. In her fleet, the only highly trained main ship girls are Amagi, Kongo and Prince Eugen. The rest are still training - such as Dunkirk. This battleship was only launched in the second half of the year. Yes, it has been less than a few months since entering the port area, and the training level has not been improved yet, so it is still difficult to deal with the high-risk siren fleet.
Although Habara Mio's fleet is large in size, it has insufficient foundation and few highly trained ship girls. Giving her time, she might be able to develop better, but now that this special mission is urgent, it makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
It's not impossible to rely only on your own fleet, but if the battle is really fierce, the girls with low training levels may be injured.
So Hahara Mio thought of Wang Yu's fully trained Annapolis. She could undoubtedly be used as a battleship or even as the core of the fleet, playing an outstanding role in the battle against the Sirens.
"Overall, that's it."
Mio Hahara finished what she needed to say seriously, without any reservation: "This time the Naval Administration gave a lot of things, and the three commanders shared it equally, which is much higher than the usual combat gains, but I hope that the Minato District can It develops faster, so I want to get more results in the battle to get more rewards...
"But the current strength of my port fleet... well, there are some deficiencies. If I force a ship girl with insufficient training to go on board, it may have consequences that I don't want to face - so after thinking about it, I think you are the only one who can help me. To achieve this goal, I am here to ask for your help.”
Wang Yu nodded. Hahara Mio wanted to destroy more sirens in this joint operation in exchange for more rewards to develop the port area, but her own fleet strength did not allow her to do so, so she came Ask Wang Yu to "borrow a boat".
While Wang Yu was thinking, Hahara Mio spoke again.
"Please rest assured that I am not the kind of person who imposes things on others. I will pay for it. After this battle, I can give you 20% of all the mission profits in the way you want... No , thirty percent.”
Hearing this, Wang Yu raised his eyebrows.
This girl, Mio Hahara, is obviously destined to win.
Thirty percent is close to one-third of the total mission revenue, and he only needs to send out a battleship to follow her out to fight.
In addition to the fact that this reward is indeed generous, it is probably the reason why she has a very high opinion of Annapolis' combat level.
She wasn't wrong either.
Wang Yu believed that Anna could exert the combat capabilities of several battleships.
However, it is true that commanders are a group of beings who "will not scheming with others". They are really suitable to live with the equally innocent and kind-hearted ship girls.
Just like Mio Hahara now, she obviously doesn't know how to negotiate with others.
Asking for prices all over the place and paying back the money on the ground.
She really doesn't understand.
Although she seemed very sincere by directly raising the price so high, it also directly let the other party know her desire for successful negotiation, or her weakness in negotiation, so that the other party could freely raise the price.
Fortunately, Wang Yu is not such a person.
Of course he can be.
But this time he wasn't.
He felt that under the current situation, making good friends with Habara Mio was more important than seeking temporary benefits.
So, under the girl's expectant eyes, he spoke.
"Even so, Anna and I only did some minor work, so the reward doesn't need to be as much as 30%. So after the mission is over, you help me build a 23,000-ton battleship. What's the point for me?" That’s enough.”
As expected, Hahara Mio showed a mixture of surprise and joy.
For a 23,000-ton battleship, she only needs materials and a shipyard.
In any case, it must be much less than the 30% she originally proposed.
She didn't expect that she would get such an answer, and there was a trace of joy and gratitude in her heart.
She looked at Wang Yu with emotion and could only say that he was worthy of being a legend of the previous era. He was magnanimous and aboveboard. No wonder he could command such a legendary battleship.
