Chapter 35: Return to the East China Sea
Since being awarded the title that day, Lu Xi has become completely leisurely. There is basically no need for new major generals like him when going to sea. Basically, they are old people. The daily tasks are to train, eat, train, and eat over and over again, which is not interesting at all.
, Lu Xi, who had had enough of this kind of life, went straight to the office of the Warring States Marshal.
"When will the Marshal assign me tasks? I'm almost getting rusty after being idle day after day."
Listening to Lu Xi's complaints, Warring States raised his head from the document and looked at Lu Xi before him. Then he suddenly remembered that he had not assigned ships and subordinates to Lu Xi yet. He put down the pen in his hand and stared at Lu Xi as he spoke.
"Lucy has a lot of things going on these days, and I forgot about allocating ships and subordinates to you. So you go back and wait a few days, and I'll have someone make arrangements for you right now!"
After hearing Marshal Warring States' words of assurance, Lu Xi had no choice but to lose his temper, so he gave up and walked out of the office with disappointment. After leaving the office, Lu Xi met EMI who was assigned to his grandma's group outside. EMI saw Lu Xi.
He immediately greeted Lu Xi warmly.
"Lucy, what are you doing here?"
"Emi! I came here to ask questions about the ship subordinates assigned to me by the marshal. What are you doing here?"
Lu Xi looked at EMI who came to him and put away the irritation and disappointment in his heart, and responded to EMI's question in a very calm tone. When EMI heard Lu Xi's words, he didn't ask anything and answered Lu Xi's question.
Then he followed his boss, Lu Xi's grandmother, into the office. After EMI left, he had no choice but to continue walking towards the house assigned to him.
three days later
Lu Xi's team and ships were finally assigned to him by the Warring States Marshal, and he put on his rear admiral navy coat for the first time. When he walked to the dock, a rear admiral-level attached warship that was half the size of his grandfather's dog-headed warship was quietly moving.
Where it stopped, people were constantly carrying supplies to the boat. The man with the rank of major who was supervising the work saw Lu Xi coming here from the corner of his eyes and immediately ran forward to salute.
"Hello, Major General Luci, I, Carlo, have been ordered to be transferred to your command. We are now organizing soldiers to transport supplies."
"Yes! I understand. Can we leave now?"
Lucy looked at Carlo and said to him with a smile on his face, and Carlo saw his boss smiling at him and suddenly felt a bad premonition. This premonition was where his previous boss worked.
This kind of training has caused him to think the worst when he sees his boss smiling at him. Lucy looked at Carlo's nervous look and smiled brighter and looked at him with concern.
asked Carlo.
"Major Carlo, don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you."
"Understood, Major General Luci."
Although there was no problem with Carlo's words, his nervousness still did not ease. Lucy looked at him like this and did not speak, because he knew that no matter what he said now, his subordinate would still be like this
It looked like Shi Zhanshao boarded the warship directly and stood on the bow of the warship and gave orders to Major Carlo below the ship.
"Major Carlo, let's sail the ship after the materials have been transported! This time our destination is the East China Sea."
"Yes, Major General Luci."
half an hour later
After the warship's supplies were transported, the warship, which would frighten countless pirates on the seas of the future, slowly left the dock.
two days later
Lucy looked half-dead, lying on the guardrail of the warship and asked Major Carlo who was busy next to him.
"Caro's rice is not ready yet?"
"Major General Lu Xi, please stop talking. If you hadn't been very cheerful and said that there was a lot of food on the ship, it would be no problem to eat more. It would not have caused our food shortage now, and you would have been so heartless.
laughed."
Listening to Carlo's words, Luci smiled at Carlo very cheerfully and without vengeance, while Carlo looked at him with a dark look at his cheerful and ungrateful boss and his heartless boss. He suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship.
.And Luci just waved his hand towards Carlo and responded with a nonchalant expression.
"It's okay, it's okay. The most indispensable thing on the sea is food, as long as we still have it."
Carlo was speechless when he heard his boss' cheerful personality that thought about everything, so he had to give up the food competition with his boss and start talking to him about business.
"Major General Lu Xi, now we have safely sailed out of the windless zone and entered the East China Sea."
"Yes! I understand, has anything happened in the past two days?" Lucy nodded after hearing Carlo's report and asked about some major events that may have happened recently.
"Yes! Major General Lucy, the biggest news recently is that Fisher Tiger, the leader of the Sun Pirates, was ambushed and seriously injured by the navy when he was sending a little girl back to his hometown. Because there were no humans to give him a blood transfusion, he died of excessive bleeding.
.”
When Carlo said Fischer Tiger's name, Luci immediately recalled something that this man had done that no one had dared to do for hundreds of years, that is, he climbed up the red soil continent with bare hands and broke into the Holy Land of Mary Joa to rescue the slaves.
Action. Thinking of this, Lucy suddenly felt a little emotional and wondered whether her choice to be a navy was right. With such emotion, Lucy asked Carlo.
"Carlo, do you think our navy is just?"
"Major General Luci, why do you ask like this?" Carlo asked Lu in confusion after hearing Luci's questioning and emotional questions.
"It's nothing. I just think that the Dracos who claim to be descendants of the Creator treat all human beings and other species that are not one of them as slaves, and our navy has to help them when they say they don't like it. I always feel that our navy seems like
Became their lackey."
After hearing Luci's words, Carlo had no words to refute Luci's words. The reason why he couldn't refute was that Luci's words were absolutely right and there was nothing wrong with them. Luci, who had been waiting for Carlo's reply, never heard him.
In reply, she had no choice but to turn her head and look at him. Seeing that he was lost in thought and could not get the answer he wanted, Luci sighed deeply and did not continue to wait.
Carlo woke up from his meditation when he heard Lucy's sigh, and looked at his boss's face, which had always been wearing a cheerful smile, but now it was full of sadness, nothing like his original appearance. When he wanted to speak, he was stopped by his boss.
The movement was blocked in her mouth. Lucy got up and walked to the bow of the ship, looking at the sea in the distance and said to the adjutant next to her.
"Carlo, let me know. The next stop is Rogge Town, the town where it starts and ends."
