Chapter 22
Wood: ...
Gion: (Д)
Wood, who had a face of indifference and was waiting to release water later to deliberately lose to the opponent, and Gion, who had a face full of fighting spirit and was ready to avenge his shame, even picked a gun, when he heard what the colonel instructor said, The two were dumbfounded at the same time!
Others have already started making preparations, what are you two still doing?
Seeing that the others had already set off to carry the shells, but Gion and Wood, who were divided into a group but were still standing motionless, the instructor immediately scolded.
Instructor, I'm applying to be in a group with other people, you said before that this test requires a tacit understanding, right?
And I feel that I have no tacit understanding with this person!
You can form a team with anyone, but only for Wood, Gion has a certain resistance. Even Gion thinks that she can complete the loading of the artillery and adjust the firing angle by herself. It is absolutely impossible for her to make a group by herself. questionable.
Shut up! I'm the instructor now. Before becoming a good navy, you should learn to accept orders!
Are you going to disobey the command of the commander in battle after you become a formal navy in the future?
If there is no tacit understanding, you can slowly run in. If you don't want to go to class, you can choose to leave now. Of course, I will directly treat the test score as zero.
The colonel officer looked at Gion with a serious expression on his face. Lieutenant General Crane came here to find him after he knew that Gion had contradicted him in the test.
He also said that the Naval Academy does not engage in privileges. Gion's current status is that of a recruit. If she violates the rules, then there is no need to save her face.
The test will be given a zero score, and this threat has no deterrent effect on Wood.
Originally, he wanted to be a mediocre supporting role. As long as his grades were not so bad that he was kicked out of the Naval Academy, he really didn't care whether he could stand out after graduation.
Wood didn't mean anything, he didn't want to use his hot face to stick Gion's cold butt, so when Wood was about to give up the test results, his shoulder was suddenly held down.
Where do you want to go? Didn't you hear what the instructor said? If we don't cooperate with the training, this test will give us the lowest evaluation!
Gion is not Wood, she still attaches great importance to her grades, her marks in the previous shooting test were quite mediocre, if she gets the worst score in the shooting test this time, she really dare not stand in front of Crane.
I heard that, but Gion-san probably hates me, right? Even if he cooperates reluctantly, he probably doesn't have the tacit understanding of others.
Rather than working hard and being abused, wouldn't it be better to choose to give up at the beginning?
Gion's tone was a bit awkward at first, but after hearing Wood's nonsense, his tone suddenly became severe and serious.
What nonsense are you talking about! How can you become an excellent navy if you give up so easily!
And if you haven't tried it, how do you know that we will be abused? Whether there is a good tacit understanding is not determined by the relationship between the two parties, but by personality.
Sometimes the tacit understanding as an opponent is stronger than that of a close friend, besides, I don't hate you, it's just...
Anyway, you can't leave alone. If you make me come to the bottom of this test, I won't let you go!
A few minutes later, Wood and Gion stood behind a cannon. Wood brought boxes of shells, and stuffed the black spherical shells into the barrel, waiting for Gion to adjust the shooting angle.
That's right, in the end Wood compromised...
After all, Gion is the Peach Rabbit in the future. He is determined to be an inconspicuous supporting role, a person at the level of an alternate general, and he can't afford to offend him at all.
The favorability of Peach Rabbit was already negative before, so at least it can't be negative all the time.
If you can't hug the other person's long legs, at least you don't want to completely offend him.
Moreover, when Jiaji left the Naval Academy before, he had told himself to take good care of Gion, and he had already paid the corresponding remuneration, so he still took the money and did not work, which seemed a bit unreasonable.
boom------!
A burst of dazzling fire came out of the gun barrel, and the gunpowder formed a strong propulsion after burning, directly shooting out the black spherical shell.
Under a perfect parabolic trajectory, the shell hits perfectly tens of meters away from the marked point...
Like this kind of medieval antique artillery, the killing range is only a few meters at most. If it misses to this extent, it can basically be said to be useless.
It seems that the angle of the gun barrel is still a little higher, let me adjust it again, and I will definitely be able to accurately hit the marked point next time.
Looking at the huge crater formed by the explosion in the distance, Gion showed confidence. She thought that she had made great progress compared to the beginning, and if she was asked to practice more, the test this time was basically It's a sure thing.
Wood, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and continue loading the shells. With your loading speed, you obviously can't keep up with my firing speed.
It had been a minute since she fired the cannon, but Wood still stood aside, and the girl was obviously quite dissatisfied with Wood's obvious lagging behavior.
It's not that I don't want to reload, but that the shells are almost used up. If I continue to shoot, I probably won't even have the ammunition for the official test later.
The Navy Headquarters is also a lot of money. Ammunition needs money, and it is impossible to provide an unlimited amount for recruits to practice.
Before each group, apart from one cannon, they were also allocated two boxes of shells, one box of twenty shells, that is, about forty shells.
In addition to the three shots that need to be fired for the test, that is to say, they have a total of 37 practice opportunities.
In Gion's previous continuous output, nearly two-thirds of the shells have been consumed, but the small marking flag inserted on the mound is still firmly fluttering in the wind.
Compared to the beginning, I have made great progress. Next time...
You will definitely hit it next time, right? But this sentence has been heard no less than ten times since the beginning.
You are indeed improving every time, from the first miss of 50 meters to the current miss of about 40 meters.
Based on the consumption of 20 shells, about consuming each shell, you can barely get close to 0.5 meters from hitting the target.
So the preliminary judgment is that even if all the shells here are exhausted, the chance of you being able to successfully hit is very low.
Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that you suddenly got lucky and suddenly succeeded in hitting, but I don't think such kind of shit luck should always work in the test.
The girl who was originally excited and confident could not help showing an embarrassed expression after hearing Wood's expressionless wave of data analysis.
But when she realized that Wood's previous shooting results were almost as bad as hers, the girl said unwillingly: It seems that your cannon is very accurate, let me see if you shoot one!
