To be honest, at this moment, Chuyang really didn't know what to say. On one side was his wife and Secretary Ship of the Naval Base, and on the other side were his Fleet Girls.
Lexington could joke freely with Enterprise because they were familiar with each other, but he wasn't as close to Enterprise, and it could even be said that they were almost strangers.
Although he knew that Lexington and Enterprise were just joking, he couldn't do the same because he couldn't be sure if a seemingly casual remark would leave something unpleasant in Enterprise's heart.
Fortunately, Lexington didn't put him in a difficult position. She pulled Chuyang back to the sofa and directly said, "I can lend you my BTD-1 and Sea Viper. You should be satisfied now."
"Deal." Enterprise had been waiting for Lexington to say this. "It's rare for you to be so generous this time; what could I possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"You make it sound like I used to be stingy."
"Well, you were. When I asked to borrow Carrier-Based Aircraft at the Naval Base, you completely ignored me. What a shame! I even thought about coming to support you sisters!" Enterprise sighed.
On December 19, 1941, in the history of the Old World, Enterprise left Pearl Harbor for Wake Island to cover and reinforce Lexington and Saratoga. Unfortunately, on the 22nd, Commander William Halsey of Enterprise terminated the rescue operation, and the next day, Wake Island fell. Although Enterprise did not reach its destination during this rescue mission and neither did Lexington or Saratoga arrive in time, in real history, the U.S. Pacific Command did issue orders for Enterprise to reinforce Lexington and Saratoga.
"Reinforcement? Did you arrive at Wake Island?" Mrs. teased.
"Aren't you the same?"
...
Chuyang stared blankly at the two who were bickering joyfully.
What can I say! Lexington had always given Chuyang an impression of being gentle and generous, while Enterprise seemed a bit wild towards him but overall presented herself as dignified and gracious. However, now these two intellectual and mature Elder Sisters were arguing like children lost in their own world, which really subverted Chuyang's worldview.
"Alright, I can't argue with you. It's been years since we last met; I didn't expect your eloquence to improve." Lexington took a sip of her coffee and said, "On a serious note, you know the Admiral is looking for everyone at the Naval Base. Do you have any news about other Fleet Girls?"
"You almost made me forget. Yesterday at the snack street across from Rongda, I ran into Akagi."
"The foodie from the First Carrier Division, Akagi?" When Chuyang thought of Akagi, he recalled the meme circulating among players. Although based on actual consumption, Akagi wasn't as gluttonous as some of the other carriers and couldn't compare to Lexington and Saratoga, her notorious reputation alongside Kaga as a food-loving duo left a deep impression on Chuyang.
"Admiral, you seem to remember her well. Are you thinking of giving her a ring?" Enterprise said mockingly.
To be honest, after seeing so many guys at Rongda who got girls pregnant and then abandoned them for new loves, Enterprise couldn't stand Chuyang's flirtatious nature, even if he was her Admiral.
"Enough of that nonsense. Quickly tell me where Akagi lives."
Lexington understood that Enterprise was defending her, but so what? Trying to explain love to someone who had never been in a relationship was just a waste of breath.
"I don't know either."
".........." Chuyang was speechless. I’ve already taken off my pants, and this is what you show me?
In the end, by the time they left Enterprise's home, they still hadn't figured out where Akagi was, only knowing that she should also be in Rongcheng.
"Admiral, where are we going now?" After leaving the neighborhood and seeing the bustling crowd on the street, Lexington tightened her grip on Chuyang's arm.
Since there were still many things to pack up, Enterprise didn't walk with them but arranged for Chuyang to have Isuzu drive the big truck from Naval Base to pick her up tomorrow and help move furniture.
"How about we check out the snack street?" Chuyang suggested.
This wasn't the first time Chuyang had heard news about Akagi. Back in Europe, Prince of Wales and others had mentioned her. He even went to several food companies run by Scarlet to inquire about Akagi but unfortunately didn't gather any useful information. The only thing he could confirm was that Akagi worked as a food critic or something similar.
So there was a high possibility that Akagi wasn't a long-term resident of Rongcheng; she likely came for its unique cuisine.
Who knows if they would miss each other this time? It might be a while before he got news about Akagi again.
But he couldn't help but search. However, with Rongcheng being so large and the Population so numerous, looking for a homeless person was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Chuyang went to the food street with a mindset of doing his best and leaving the rest to fate, without holding too much hope.
The food street across from Rongda was not far from Rongda Xinyuan. There was no way around it; after all, the community was built right next to Rongda.
"Madam, since Akagi is in Rongcheng, do you think her sister Kaga is also in Rongcheng?" Since it wasn't far to the food street, Chuyang didn't drive. The two walked together like an ordinary couple, mingling with the crowd as they chatted on their way to the food street.
"Admiral, who told you that Akagi and Kaga are sisters?"
"Aren't they?" Chuyang looked puzzled; in his impression, Akagi and Kaga should be sisters.
"No." A hint of helplessness flashed across Lexington's face. She really didn't know how Chuyang managed to study for three years at the Rongcheng Naval Academy. But since Chuyang was her Admiral and her husband, Lexington patiently began to explain.
"In the history of the Old World, Akagi is the second ship of the Amagi-class heavy Aircraft Carrier of the Japanese Navy. The original design plan during its construction was for it to be a battleship cruiser, but it was forced to be converted into an Aircraft Carrier due to the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty."
"And Kaga was the third battleship constructed under Japan's Eight-Eight Fleet Plan, which was also later converted into an Aircraft Carrier. So they are not sisters."
"The reason people often mention them together is simply because they both belonged to Japan's First Air Fleet."
"However, there is one thing they have in common: both sank due to corporate reasons."
"Madam, do you see that? Is that Akagi?" As they approached the entrance of the snack street, Chuyang suddenly pointed at a woman with black hair mingling in the crowd, wearing a red and white kimono embroidered with cherry blossom patterns, and asked Lexington.
