In the night, the warships did not stop moving. The searchlights shone on the sea continuously. The formation of the warships stretched for several kilometers. The black smoke from the chimneys continued to dissipate in the night.
The Iowa-class flagship, the Huaxia, was in the middle of the column. This was a warship that had entered service near the end of World War II. It was completely superior to all warships of this era. Even when compared to the Yamato, it was not much inferior. This was also what Wei Chenghong was most satisfied with. Although the main cannon and weight of the warship were inferior to the Yamato, in terms of cost-performance ratio, the Huaxia was much better.
The cost of building Yamato was astronomical, and the construction period was about three years. Wei Chenghong had only paid 5000 gold coins, and the ship was also instant.
Soaking in the bathtub and soaking in cold water in the summer was very refreshing. Although there was air conditioning in the room, it was far less comfortable than soaking in cold water. The hot summer increased the power consumption of the warship, especially for a huge ship like the Huaxia. Including the people from the Marine Corps, the number of people had already exceeded 3,000. With so many people squeezed together, without air conditioning, they would probably not be able to sleep.
The new warship was good, but the Pride didn't have such conditions. Wei Chenghong only had a room of more than ten square meters, which couldn't be compared to the Huaxia. One was a small hotel, and the other was a five-star hotel.
He put on his summer uniform and turned on the hairdryer. The fan blew on Wei Chenghong's hair. After a while, his hair was dry. Wei Chenghui put on his hat and left the bathroom.
Tokumi was already boiling water and preparing to perform her tea ceremony for Wei Chenghong. Matcha had appeared in many TV dramas, movies, and anime. It was just taking a bowl, adding tea powder, and stirring it to form a thick foam. It was very refreshing.
However, I believe that everyone will not like this kind of matcha very much. This is because of the difference in tea culture. In China, people drink fried tea. No one likes to drink this kind of mixed tea powder.
Wei Chenghong sat cross-legged in front of Tatsumi and watched her tea ceremony performance. It was very complicated. Ordinary people would not be able to learn such complicated tea ceremony etiquette without training.
With both hands holding the bowl of matcha, she handed the stirred matcha to Wei Chenghong. Looking at the green foam, Wei Chenghong felt a little guilty. Could this thing be poisonous?
However, when he saw the girl's expectant eyes, Wei Chenghong frowned and took a sip. How could he describe the taste? It was warm water and green tea powder mixed together. It was a little refreshing.
"Can I add some sugar?" Wei Chenghong put down the bowl. It tasted better with some sugar.
"Cheng Hongjun, that won't do. Do you want another bowl?”
Wei Chenghong raised his hand to indicate that there was no need. He didn't want to drink or eat anything right now. He had to digest the things in his stomach first.
Upon seeing Wei Chenghong's expression, Tatsumei removed the tea set and took out two sets of chessboards. One was Chinese chess, and the other was Japanese shogi. She asked him which one he wanted to choose.
Was there still a need to say? It must be Chinese chess or Japanese shogi. Wei Chenghong had never played it before and didn't understand it at all. Playing Japanese shogi with Japanese girls was asking for abuse. As a man, Wei Chenghong wasn't that stupid.
China's Xiangqi, Go, International Xiangqi, and East Asian Shogi were recognized as the four major chess games in the world. They were all related to the country's political system in history. The background of China's Xiangqi was the struggle between Chu and Han.
In 203 B.C., Liu Bang sent troops to attack the State of Chu. Xiang Yu was short of food and soldiers, so he was forced to put forward the request of "dividing the world, cutting the chasm to the west for Han, and the chasm to the east for Chu". From then on, there was the saying of Chu River and Han boundary.
To this day, the ruins of two ancient cities were still preserved on Guangwu Mountain in Xingyang. The one in the west was called Hanwang City, and the one in the east was called Bawang City. Legend had it that it was built by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Between the two cities, there was a 300-meter-wide ditch. This was what people usually called a chasm, and it was also the basis for the boundary river marked on the chess board.
Wei Chenghong held a black piece, representing Xiang Yu. It was said that Xiang Yu liked black. His clothes were all black, and even the bird horse he rode was black.
Tatsumi Hengshan held a red chess piece and represented Liu Bang. It was rumored that Liu Bang led the rebel army to Mount Mang Dang and personally killed a big white rope on the mountain. This was the long-circulated story of the Great Ancestor Slaying the Snake. Legend had it that after Liu Bang killed the big white snake, an old woman cried and came up the mountain, saying that her son was the son of the White Emperor. She turned into a white snake and went up the mountain to play, but was killed by the son of the Red Emperor. She was extremely sad.
With that, the old woman disappeared. This story meant that the Qin Dynasty was about to be replaced by a new dynasty. Ever since he killed the white snake, Liu Bang had claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor. He also liked red very much, and even the flag of the army had been changed to red.
Liu Bang had a powerful commander, and Xiang Yu had unparalleled strength. The characteristics of the two people corresponded to the Red Commander and Black General.
The red chess player, Tatsumi Hengshan, was the first to attack. Her series of attacks were very sharp. Both of them played fast chess. Wei Chenghong realized that he had fewer chess pieces than Tatsumi Hengshan. It seemed that he would lose. He had to get serious.
"A fatal blow." Looking at the chessboard, Wei Chenghong spread his hands. He had lost to a Japanese girl. This seemed a little…
"You're not going to play anymore? If Cheng Hongjun can defeat me, I can agree to any of your requests.”There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind the girl's words. She could agree to any request.
"Again, I don't believe it." This time, Wei Chenghong was serious. Every step he took was careful. The chess pieces on the chessboard began to fight. This time, he didn't lose. It was a draw.
"It's a tie." Wei Chenghong took off his big brimmed hat and stroked his hair.
"Then let's call it a draw." Chen Mei, who was kneeling, also agreed to a draw.
The third round began. Wei Chenghong looked at the kneeling Japanese girl and said,"It's my turn to make the first move."”
"Ha Yi, Cheng Hongjun, please go ahead." Tatsumi nodded.
After playing two games, Wei Chenghong realized that Tatsumi's style of chess was completely different from her personality. She was very aggressive and aggressive. She liked to change her chess pieces and was good at using cannons. In the first game, she used cannons to kill him.
Therefore, Wei Chenghong changed his previous method of attacking. He would definitely kill her two cannons first, and at the same time, he would stare at her split collar. Tonight, he would let her experience his power.
Indeed, he was right. Tokumi was very reliant on this cannon. After Wei Chenghong replaced her as a chess piece, Tokumi's offensive was no longer effective. She was defeated by him and shaved bald, leaving only Commander Hong.
"General." Wei Chenghong pushed the soldier in front of Commander Hong.
"It's a dead chess piece." Tatsumi replied.
Pulling down his sleeves, Wei Chenghong looked at the time. It was past eight o'clock. He got up and locked the door.
He turned around and picked up Tatsumi and walked towards the bedroom. He had worked so hard for so long, and he could finally get what he wanted tonight.
"Chenmei, what's the use of this pillow?”Wei Chenghong asked teasingly as he untied Tatsumi's belt.
"This is a 'belt', a type of decoration.”
"Hehehe, I don't think so. It looks more like a sheet with a special purpose…hehe.”
Wei Chenghong looked at Tatsumi unbuttoning his shirt with a displeased expression. He was maliciously trying to figure out the " pillow " behind the kimono.
As for the later part of the plot, well, everyone can imagine it themselves. If you want to change it, it will be troublesome.
In order to avoid trouble, I won't write the warship data!
