Chapter 144
Chapter 144
In the Royal Dining Room of Buckingham Palace, King George V entertained Su Bai and Hood, but the two were obviously not impressed by his hospitality and only ate a few bites of food out of politeness.
Talking about the current battle situation, Su Bai took the opportunity to put down his knife and fork and get rid of the trouble of royal food.
"Your Majesty, no matter how we fight with the Iron Blood on the high seas, as long as they can't break out, they will always be just an existing fleet and will be locked up by us. But I believe that Your Majesty wants a positive victory!"
George V nodded slightly,"The generals of the navy are a little lacking in confidence. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"The answer is very simple. Change the armor. On the battlefield, the new battlecruisers with key defensive armor belts are the main force. Those old dreadnoughts and pre-dreadnoughts are outdated. By the way, Your Majesty, I would like to ask, does the spirit of battleship exist in this era?"
"You mean the ship girls? Yes. Most of the warships are commanded by the ship girls!".
Su Bai clapped his hands excitedly, and the teacup on the table jumped vertically on the spot, which scared the King of England.
"Your Majesty, we will definitely win!"
"Why are you so confident?"
Su Bai gestured to Hu De and let her introduce
"Your Majesty, in front of you is the most powerful commander in the world in the next two centuries, Lord Su Bai, who is known as the Demon King. He is best at leading the ship girls to fight. He has never lost in such battles!"
King George V of England was overjoyed,"Very good, I will take you to see these ship girls later and leave them all to you!"
"Great!"
Su Bai glanced at Hood, who was staring at him. He could only say awkwardly,"It's for work."
The royal ship girls all lived in the Royal Navy Courtyard next to Buckingham Palace.
King George V of England took Su Bai and Hood into the courtyard. The ship girl on duty, George V, came over and saluted the King of England.
"Your Majesty, King George V salutes you!"
"Please let everyone gather, I will introduce you to the new commander!"
More than 300 ship girls gathered, those with higher status stood in the front row, and the others lined up in the back.
After King George V introduced himself, he left, and this place was handed over to Su Bai.
Su Bai walked up to the stage, and he almost blurted out"Comrades", but thinking that this was in Britain, he immediately changed his words.
"Ladies! Hello, I am Su Bai, the new commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy! I came here with only one purpose, which is to lead you to victory in the naval battle!"
The ship girls below began to chatter and talk. Su Bai's face darkened. Is this the strongest Royal Navy in the world? Where is the military discipline!
He roared, his voice like a dragon:"Be quiet!"
The voices of discussion below gradually subsided.
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Commander, this is the Royal Navy!"
"Royal Navy? Pah! I think this is the Royal Brothel!"
The faces of the ship girls below changed, and someone angrily retorted,"Who are you? What right do you have to say that about us? Our Royal Navy is the best in the world."
"The best in the world? Who are you? Get out of here!"
"Royal Navy battleship Irene!"
Irene? Su Bai smiled bitterly, the name seemed to be far away from her for centuries. He knew that this Irene was a Joe V-class battleship built before World War I, with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, which could be considered a super dreadnought.
Su Bai looked at Irene coldly, and did not treat her well because she had the same name as his wife."Look at you now, standing there sloppily, and even wearing makeup! Which soldier wears makeup while on duty? And it's heavy makeup! What's the difference between you and those glamorous women out there who pay fifteen pence a night?"
Irene was so angry that tears rolled down her cheeks."You are insulting the dignity of a lady. I want to duel with you!"
"Duel?"Su Bai almost fell down laughing. Duel with me?
Su Bai took off his gloves without hesitation and threw them away. He had to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and use someone to establish his authority. That person is you.
There was no suspense in this duel. Irene's fighting power was like a child's play in front of Su Bai. In one round, Su Bai knocked her weapon off. The tip of Su Bai's sword stopped in front of her throat.
"Who else is dissatisfied?"
No one answered. Irene was already one of the top five swordsmen in the fleet. If she couldn't even last a round, what could the others do?
"Disband now, everyone go back, take off your makeup! And change into training uniforms!"
Because Su Bai defeated Irene with one move, these ship girls were still in awe of him. With a whistle, they all dispersed.
Hu pulled Su Bai's sleeve,"Three hundred of them, and there is no need to worry about the sequelae, you can just run away after having fun, aren't you tempted?""
Puff! You're just trying to trick me!
Su Bai said very seriously:"I won't do that kind of beastly behavior, is your husband that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
Su Bai smiled and pulled Hu De into his arms,"The next six months will belong to you and me, a complete world for two people, okay?"
Hu De was stunned. She looked at Su Bai in disbelief and couldn't say a word.
Su Bai took her hand and slowly knelt on one knee.
"I plan to have a simple wedding with you before I leave here. In this time and space, you are my only wife, okay?"
Hood choked, her tears slid down uncontrollably,"Get up soon, I promise!"
The New Year time is enough! During this half year, she is Su Bai's only wife! Compared with those ship girls who can only share commanders with others forever, how happy this is.
Enterprise has one day, Juno has a week, and I have half a year!
After half an hour, more than 300 ship girls of the Royal Navy gathered. Su Bai took a look around, it was okay, it was indeed the world's number one navy, and the basic military qualities were still there. Su Bai stood on the high platform and roared loudly,"It still looks a bit like the Royal Navy now. I don't want you to be in a mess anymore. Before going to war, you must first learn how to be a soldier!"
"Irene, Queen Mary, Joe Five, Marlborough, and Brave! The five of you, as the five captains, will lead your teams to training. I have already arranged the training subjects for you. The first item today is a four-mile cross-country race!"
The ship girls were dumbfounded. What kind of a subject is this? There has never been one before! We are knights of the sea, why are we practicing this? Really. But they didn't dare to question it.
Because Su Bai was roaring:"Set off immediately. If you can't finish it, you won't have to eat tonight!"
"Oh my God, this is not a commander, this is a devil!"
"You are right, my nickname is the Devil!"
Watching the Royal Fleet's fleet of shipgirls set off, Su Bai and Hood relaxed for a rare moment.
"Su Bai, isn't this intensity too high? After all, they have never experienced this."
"A merciful army is not suitable for generals. I am being strict with them now so that they can survive the war."
The ship girls of the Royal Fleet returned to the courtyard as tired as dead dogs. Four miles was too terrible for these guys. But most of them still managed to hold on with their unyielding spirit.
Su Bai looked at these young faces and smiled,"Very good, you barely passed today, continue tomorrow! We will continue the exercise at 7 o'clock in the morning!"
"Devil!"
"I don't want to live anymore!"
"Woohoo, I am a noble, I don't want to live this kind of life, don't stop me, I want to go out and get married, I want to work in a brothel instead of staying in the navy"...
Su Bai and Hood left the barracks and prepared to go home. Su Bai took her to the market to buy some vegetables, preparing to go home and make some delicious food to reward his and Hood's damaged stomachs.
Not much was bought today, just a basket of eggs, some vegetables, a handful of mushrooms and a pork leg.
Su Bai carried the basket of vegetables, and Hood held his arm, and the two of them walked leisurely on the streets of Britain in the 20th century.
London was very foggy and a little cold, but Su Bai felt warm in his heart. With such an elegant and beautiful wife like Hood accompanying him, what else could he ask for?
"Constantine, I really hope that this war will never happen, so that we can live here forever."
"Truth?"
"Of course!"
Hood felt a warm feeling flowing through his heart,"I believe you. You once told the gods that I am the wife you want most, right?"
"Yes!"
"But why did you propose to the company first? I'm not jealous, but I'm a little reluctant."
""My dear, I was actually ready to propose to you first! But when I saw you that day, I was scared, always afraid that you would reject me. Later, Qiji was injured, and when I went to take care of her, I accidentally sprained my knee in front of the bed and knelt on one knee. Then the atmosphere was very strange, and it seemed inappropriate for me not to propose."
Su Bai scratched his hair and smiled embarrassedly,"Do you know? When I was in the original world, there was a game similar to our world, and the first person I married was you!"
·· ·Request flowers···· ······
Hood looked at Su Bai in disbelief. A smile appeared on her face. This time, her smile was so sweet, like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the mist of London.
Su Bai was stunned by Hood's beauty. She was still herself, but her confidence and sunshine made her as perfect as a goddess.
Hood murmured,"I have no regrets even if I die in Jutland to hear you say this!"
Su Bai's heart tightened. Why did you say the word death for no reason?
He took Hood's hand,"Let's go, I'll make you something delicious when we get home!" Just as they were about to enter the Duke's mansion, they saw a little girl squatting outside the door.
""Sir, can you buy a match?" The little girl had long curly golden hair, and her eyes and eyebrows looked a bit like Hood.
Su Bai was stunned. Isn't this a story from Andersen's fairy tale? There really is a little girl like this?
Well, this world is full of war. Maybe she once had a happy family, but she just encountered bad luck. In this time and space, Su Bai's heart softened a lot, and he nodded,"Get up and follow me."
The little girl hesitated for a moment. She was instinctively a little afraid of Su Bai. But after she saw Hood, she felt much more at ease. She gritted her teeth and stood up. It was too cold outside. If she had no place to stay tonight, she might be frozen to death.
This master and lady looked like nobles. Although I know that nobles have some bad hobbies, people have to live first.

After returning to the mansion, Su Bai looked at the dirty little girl and asked the servant to take her downstairs to take a bath. He went into the kitchen himself and made some delicious dishes to comfort his poor stomach.
Hood helped him cut and wash vegetables. Su Bai put the pork into the pot and started to stew the soup. Looking at Hood wearing a headscarf and an apron, Su Bai suddenly realized that this was the happiness he had been pursuing.
Hood noticed Su Bai's gaze and looked at him lovingly,"What are you looking at? Do I look weird?"
"It's not strange at all, but I just know what true happiness is now."
Hu De picked up a cherry, put it into Su Bai's mouth, and gently responded:"Me too."
A well-off family, four dishes and a soup! Su Bai and Hu De are both nobles, so they can afford these things. A few delicious dishes, plus a bottle of red wine, such a life is a bit aristocratic.
The maid opened the red wine and poured it for the two of them. Su Bai and Hu De sat on both sides of the long table, and the two raised their glasses remotely.
""Cheers, dear!"
After the little girl was washed, she looked pretty good. She was a little beauty. Su Bai motioned her to sit down at the table, and the little girl sat down somewhat restrainedly.
The servant brought her a plate and served her bread, cheese and vegetables. Su Bai knew that the little girl had probably been hungry for some time, so he didn't dare to let her overeat, fearing that she would die of a meal in his mansion.
"Little girl, what's your name, and do you have any family?"
The little girl had just taken a bite of bread, and when she heard this, tears fell from her eyes,"Master, my name is Lucy, and I have no family. My father fought with the Iron Blood and died in Belgium, and my mother remarried far away. I can only live with my grandmother, and my grandmother also passed away a few days ago."
Su Bai's heart was awe-inspiring, isn't this the little match girl? He didn't say much, there are such tragedies at any time, but in times of war, such tragedies are more intense.
He can save one Lucy, but who can save tens of millions of Lucy? Even the gods don't have such ability.
"" Lucy, since you have nowhere to go, just stay here with me. I don't need you to do anything."
Lucy gritted her teeth. She could see that this gentleman had a very high status. She finally made up her mind,"Sir, don't look at me as a little thin. In fact, I am fourteen years old. If you need, I can be your personal maid!"
Puff! The red wine in Su Bai's mouth sprayed out directly. Am I crazy or is this world crazy!
"Stop talking nonsense! You are only fourteen years old, who taught you these nonsense! If you feel embarrassed to eat and drink for free, then it’s simple. From tomorrow on, my garden will be handed over to you. You take care of it for me!"
After finishing the meal with great difficulty, Su Bai took Hu De back to the bedroom.
"Are you really not moved? Such a delicate flower bud"
"
Constantine, you are also from the civilized world, how can you say such things? I am a human, not an animal! Besides, I will only love you in this time and space, do you understand!".
