The noisy sound of artillery fire in my ears disappeared, leaving only the sound of battleships sailing through the waves.
This contrast is the calmness after the rain has passed, the calmness after the climax of the movie plot, and the silence after the end of the noisy night market.
Wang Yu took a deep breath and sat on the chair a little tiredly.
As the battle ended and the Siren's warships moved away, the sirens subsided, and a sense of fatigue emerged from the bottom of my heart.
Physical fatigue was secondary, but mainly mental fatigue made him even more uncomfortable.
He slept for about three hours before, and then stayed up for half the night, thinking about all the details of the battle, which naturally made him physically and mentally exhausted.
Wang Yu guessed that Mio Habara's side was similar. She had to face Siren's fire, and the pressure she endured was naturally no less than her own.
"Ana, thank you for your hard work." He said to the girl beside him.
Anna shook her head seriously: "It's not hard, it's the commander's hard work."
Wang Yu gave her a reassuring smile: "No, it's our joint efforts."
He turned his gaze to the porthole window and looked at the eastern sky. After a moment, his tone even sounded a little surprised: "Look, it's the light of the rising sun."
Anna followed Wang Yu's gaze and saw that a faint ray of morning light appeared on the distant sea. The morning sun was about to jump out of the sea. First, it made a trace of dark red appear in the dark sky, and together with the clouds, it formed a wonderful scene of light and dark. scene.
She blinked, seeming to understand her commander's mood at this moment.
This rising sun is not just the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Maybe it also means something more.
"The long night is finally over."
Wang Yu was like Zhuzi Ge in a certain copy-selling director, and delivered a post-war speech that was basically the same as usual: "No matter how dark the night is, it will eventually usher in the dawn."
Anna came behind Wang Yu, put her hands on his shoulders, and kneaded them gently.
That's great, Anna.
Although Wang Yu wanted to express some thoughts on this matter in his heart, his tiredness made him give up this move, and he was replaced by an uncontrollable yawn.
"Go and rest, Commander." Anna said softly.
Wang Yu didn't want to be brave and say that he wasn't tired. After all, the battle was over now and there were no other enemies in the surrounding waters. When the battleship only needed to sail smoothly, he could indeed rest for a while.
So he stood up and returned to the cabin below the deck with Anna.
Since Wang Yu was no longer on the bridge, Anna had no reason to stay there.
The stay of ship girls on the bridge is more of a symbolic meaning than a practical meaning. They are only for combat or to accompany the commander. Otherwise, they generally prefer to stay in their own bedrooms, just like Anna at this time.
As for whether she was sleeping, reading or doing something else, Wang Yu didn't know and didn't want to ask.
Wang Yu closed the door of the commander's cabin, and after a brief wash, he didn't bother to take off his clothes and just lay on the bed.
Under the soft quilt, he soon fell asleep.
…………
When he woke up, he glanced at the watch hanging in the room and saw that it was already past noon.
This sleep was really long enough. My plan for the day was in the morning, so I really used it to sleep.
He stretched, complained somewhat self-deprecatingly about his schedule, and then opened the hatch.
When he walked out of the commander's cabin, Anna's bedroom door across the corridor also opened.
Anna came out and asked him if he had rested enough.
Wang Yu looked at her and said good afternoon, but he couldn't suppress his complaints in his heart - why was it such a coincidence when you went out? I just opened the door here, but your door also opened. If you don’t go out, you won’t go out, right?
Wang Yu thought of the setting that Anna could know everything that happened on the battleship, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly. When you are in the bedroom, do you still want to see if I am awake from time to time?
Forget it, as I said before, my girl is fine no matter what.
Anna said that she was going to prepare something for lunch, but Wang Yu said that he was not hungry yet. So they gave up their plan to go to the restaurant for dinner first and went straight back to the bridge.
Using these seven hours, the battleship moved 200 nautical miles north and had already left the intercepting sea area.
The weather at this time is clear and sunny, making people feel like they can sunbathe when they go out.
But this is winter in high latitudes after all, and the sun in the sky is like the light in the refrigerator.
It looks bright, but it doesn't actually bring much warmth here.
Wang Yu looked to the side, and as expected saw Mio Hahara's fleet a mile away.
It seems that while he was asleep, Annapolis completed the rendezvous with Hahara Mio's fleet, and both parties headed north together, preparing to return to the port area.
Wang Yu picked up the telescope and took a look over there. He found that almost every ship in Hahara Mio's fleet had a lot of scars, and some battleships even had scars that looked scary. It seemed that after returning, It will take a lot of materials to repair.
They did pay a lot for this naval battle.
Although Wang Yu always said that if there was a proper strategy, her fleet would not be like this after defeating the main Siren force, but he also knew that without sufficient practice in strategy and tactics, it would not be possible For normal use.
For example, in the previous world, every cadet in the military academy had to participate in several practical internships before graduation. That was to set off on the ship to fight with the Siren with real swords and guns, and turn the knowledge learned into practice. Experience is etched in the bones.
Mio Hahara's fleet currently lacks mature tactical systems and training for these tactical systems.
In short, due to the severe damage to Hahara Mio's fleet, the original plan to hunt more siren roving fleets to expand the results after the main battle could not be carried out, which can be regarded as a fly in the ointment of this entire mission.
But fortunately, Hahara Mio has made enough contributions in destroying the target fleet. She can guarantee that she will get the most rewards during the settlement, and will naturally help Wang Yu build the battleship, so there is nothing wrong with Wang Yu. It's okay to regret.
What Wang Yu felt regretful about was the trophies that the Sirens had exploded. Maybe they were some good things.
Even the mental core is what Wang Yu needs. After all, he must have something to let her generate will when the new battleship is launched.
As a result, Mio Hahara later told Wang Yu a piece of good news. The fleets of the remaining two commanders would clean up the battlefield after the battle, and they would also collect the trophies exploded by the sirens during the battle of Mio Hahara's fleet and send them away. come over.
This once again made Wang Yu feel that the commanders of this world are all kind-hearted beings.
In fact, even if they swallowed the spoils of war, Hahara Mio had nothing to say - after all, they were the ones who solved the battle and cleaned the battlefield.
But they chose to distribute the spoils according to the results of the battle.
In the past, Mio Hahara took the initiative to save the results of the battle for the fleets of the two commanders, and later the two commanders helped clean up the battlefield and not embezzle the spoils. This is really goodwill and mutual help, and neighborly friendship - it can be called a fair game, and it officially starts today.
No matter what, the result is perfect.
Now, as long as the fleet returns to Hahara Mio's port area after a while, she and the other two commanders can report the completion of the mission to the Naval Administration in exchange for various resource rewards that are critical to both her and Wang Yu.
Next, Wang Yu can put the construction plan for the second warship of his fleet on the agenda.
It was a cruiser that she felt was very powerful in combat after discussing it with Anna.
Wang Yu had a hunch that she could play a big role in the fleet.
