9. Holidays

The sun is scorching, palm trees and parasols leave a weak shadow on the beach, and the sun's ultraviolet radiation is so good that the sound of the waves cancels out much of it.

People who have to be outdoors must take measures to prevent heat stroke and sunburn, and a cool shade and a deck chair that bears full body weight, a fruit shake with bubbles, sliced pineapple and lemon and ice cubes in it is a stark luxury.

"Alas~ It would be perfect if there were a few more young ladies. ”

On the beach chair, wearing a brightly colored short-sleeved shirt, beach pants, and a bowler straw hat, he glanced at the empty beach from behind his thick-rimmed sunglasses, and the elven youth muttered, his toes hanging from his slippers and swinging in boredom.

"Speaking of the beach, it should be a place where plump girls in swimsuits gather, and a serendipitous encounter occurs in the jungle of endless plump lines, from which bursts out of a fiery encounter full of electric light, and then they attack each other's hearts in one breath, and walk into the box hand in hand in the evening, and after fully enjoying some lingering foreplay, they have a 'pop' game time-"

"Admiral—"

Wearing a full set of officers' uniforms, wearing all the medals, medals, and seniority badges, the young soldier stood sideways with his long shiny silver hair combed into a meticulous back hairstyle, and proclaimed that "no matter when, the demeanor of a soldier must not be neglected!" Colonel Albert Cartox also appeared in a dignified manner today with a dignified posture that could be reviewed at any time.

Looking at the water antenna in the distance, MA ace driver asked very seriously:

"Please allow your subordinates to ask questions. Do you know what month it is?"

Time is the Frost Moon.

People wrap themselves in warm clothes to prepare for the New Year's festival, and snow begins to fly in some areas, leaving readers to complain about the frost moon of "Hey, what time do you think it is" to the guy sunbathing on the beach in front of them.

Even though this Solomon base is located south of the equator line, when the mainland enters the icy and snowy land, it is a hot summer, and considering that most families are preparing for the New Year's festival, this is not a tourist resort, and you can expect beautiful women or something...... The odds are not generally low.

"So—"

Major General Kittel Diraz, whom the Major addressed as "Admiral", shrugged. Spread out his hands and said:

"I've been asking the top to increase the proportion of female soldiers at this base. At least let the number of female captains be a little more numerous. The coordination between the opposite sex can reduce mental stress, take me as an example, if the beauty is in front of you, you can eat three bowls of rice. ”

"Admiral, this is sexual harassment. There will definitely be complaints. If you're unlucky. There will be a few fewer stars on your shoulders. ”

"Oh, aw, is that so?"

"Besides, although my subordinates can't understand what kind of special habits you have for female captains, my subordinates are very sure. You could get a pistol in the face, kick and kick by some long-haired captain, and end up with a headshot or something. ”

"Oh, that's horrible. ”

"It's almost time, Admiral, please change your clothes. ”

"What? Changing clothes? A man asking another man to change his clothes in person? Isn't that a little too shocking?"

Facing the stiff expression and tense body of the chief, Cardo said expressionlessly:

"Today is the day of the visit, and the consul is about to arrive, so you should not be inspected with this dignity. ”

Solomon Base.

The earliest, largest, and most well-equipped overseas base of the Alfheim Defense Force is centered on this, and the Gabro, Palau, and Chimbhu strongholds are radially distributed around it, forming a huge base group, and the warships, submarines, MAs, strategic bombers, and other large weapons of the Defense Force's overseas garrison troops are all hidden in these bases, building the world's most formidable long-range mobile strike force.

In addition to this, the Solomon base is also the largest military industrial manufacturing base of the Defense Forces. Shipyards, aircraft factories, large ship canals, smelting plants, Tianjing assembly bases...... It can be said that there is everything, so that the manufacturing, training, maintenance, and repair of all kinds of large-scale main station weapons can be carried out calmly outside the sight of all forces.

"That being said, it's still too inconvenient after all. ”

Outside the gunwale window, the ship-based MDS unit and the base air force can be seen handing over the escort mission, confirming that they have entered the friendly air defense identification circle. The Supreme Archon of Alfheim looked down at the scattered islands under the white clouds, took a sip of the navy's salted instant coffee, and muttered with feeling.

"Not to mention the cost of resource transportation and the inconvenience of communication, even if the base group hanging overseas has sufficient facilities and material reserves. In the event that they are cut off from their homeland, they will be under considerable psychological pressure, and if they are unfortunate enough to be isolated from each base, they will not be optimistic at all about whether they will be able to hold on. ”

"Conversely, their ability to provide support in the event of a war on their home soil is constrained by distance and time, and even if they are willing to expend more resources and make up for it in numbers, the results may not be significant. ”

Brunhill took the tea set and handed it to the orderly, with a wry smile on his face.

In the final analysis, it is all caused by the narrow depth of the local strategy and the limited access to resources.

Although Alfheim is a 100% land country, its special strategic environment is no different from that of an island country, due to the demand for resources for industrialization, the consideration of expanding overseas to improve the local geographical environment, and the huge advantage of geographical understanding, this invisible country was the first to begin to explore overseas and establish its own colonial system. Spices, ores, rubber, and grain were continuously transported to the land through secret channels...... Among them were slaves, a special commodity that made Alfheim even more prosperous.

While bringing benefits, it has also put the issue of safeguarding overseas interests on the table. The sneaky "rat transport" can deliver a limited amount of material, even if a large transport submarine and a new type of floating transport ship with landing functions are completed and put into use. Albion and Castile's sea and air forces were not to be watched there, and if they were caught, it would not be a trivial matter of losing a few ships, and the big game that Alfheim was playing could lose all the games.

It was in this special environment that the navy, which had always been raised by the mother, ushered in the "happy period" of being loved by my grandmother and my uncle for the first time, and this group of guys, who were nicknamed by the Air Force and Army as "Defending the Family and Defending the Fishery Bureau", finally tasted the feeling of being treated as fragrant and sweet.

The bill for the issuance of naval bonds was unanimously approved, and a large amount of the budget flowed away with the welding sparks like a waterfall on the shipyard, labeled "fishery administration", and slid down the slipway like a submarine dumpling like a black fish. Some parliamentarians formed the "Naval Club of Yalfheim" to educate the population about the importance of the Navy and overseas interests, chanting patriotic slogans and taking the lead in buying naval bonds. Some scholars began to look through the foundation of history, proving that "since ancient times, elves have been maritime peoples" and "since ancient times, elven ships have reached as far as XX"...... The parliamentarians proposed to set up Navy Day and Ocean Day, starting from the baby, to instill marine awareness in the new generation. Some of the most enthusiastic people visited the shipbuilding designers to explore the possibility of a fishery administration ship equipped with a triple 406mm main gun, which can fire powerful liquid oxygen torpedoes, and a fluctuating gun in the bow......

Compared with their usual attitude towards the Navy's appropriations, this is really a kind of enthusiasm that makes people cry, or the kind that is mad. (To be continued......)
