Faced with Xu Xingchen's sudden and straightforward words, Xianghe was surprised, and subconsciously observed Xu Xingchen again, squinted his eyes and sensed his mental state.

The two sides were half a coffee table. At such a close distance, for mature independent ship girls, there was basically nothing that humans could hide.

Xianghe immediately confirmed Xu Xingchen's intention, because it was too obvious. He wanted to get himself, that is, to make himself his contract ship girl.

For commanders, this kind of idea is nothing special. I have seen so many commanders before, and I have more or less thoughts.

However, the commanders in the past were more interested in their combat capabilities. After joining, they could improve their fleet strength and thus enhance their status.

But Xu Xingchen...he was the defeated man of his ship girl, and he was not the defeated man of his main force. His fleet seemed to be no longer apart from the main force or a frigate.

Even if he and Musashi join his contract fleet, they can only be ordinary ship girls. Whether they can even become the main force depends on whether he gives new equipment.

For him, it was not the ship girl who decided on combat capabilities, but his equipment, so it was no longer utilitarian to invite himself.

His current purpose is just to simply want to get himself and sign a contract with him. What he does not seem to matter?

If you are a ship girl with little experience and simple thinking, you may just think about it and you will be over. You may be moved by the other party's concern for you and seriously consider whether to sign with him.

But Shohe is different. Shohe lives independently for so long and has seen all kinds of humans and commanders. After a very short period of thinking, he came to a possible conclusion:

Collective fetish?

Humans have various hobbies, and ending similar things is also a very typical one. The most common ones include collecting stamps, cards, toys, guns, and antiques...

But collecting the ship girl? Although this does meet the identity of the commander, there are too many ship girls, and how many ship girls can the commander sign?

Even if he has been an old commander for half his life, the number of contracts he signed has not been reported to reach three-digit numbers, and more than ninety are rare.

While Xianghe was thinking in her heart, Xu Xingchen looked quietly and was observing Xianghe. When she showed a sudden expression on her face, she asked:

"How is it? Are you interested in joining?"

Xianghe had a strange expression and asked:

"What you... mean is whether you want us to sign a contract with you, or simply want to poach us and join your Admiral's Mansion... or Marshal's Mansion? Become your subordinate?"

Xu Xingchen almost subconsciously replied:

"Of course it's best to sign a contract! If the two of you can't accept it for the time being, or if you need to consider it, you can join our Admiral's Mansion first and talk about the others later."

Shohe was waiting for Xu Xingchen's answer. There was a question in his mind that had already reached his mouth, but while opening his mouth, he was snatched by Musashi next to him:

"How many contracted ship girls do you have now? How many contracted ship girls can you sign in total?"

Xu Xingchen didn't hide it and replied casually:

"There are 251 now, and the number of contracts that can be signed is almost doubled."

Shoto and Musashi were furious on the spot:

"How is this possible!"

"This is impossible!"

Xu Xingchen said with a smile:

"How is it impossible? Otherwise, what can I do to become the leader of the Marshal's Office that unifies the entire Central Islands?

"My talent and wisdom can only be considered medium-level at most. I can say that it is a little bit higher than that. With my personal ability, it is obvious that this kind of achievement is impossible.

"It's not that I rely on my ship girls. Only with the ship girls can I have the current situation. The ship girls are the foundation of my life.

"According to the human world, we commanders are mostly just a little bitch..."

When Xu Xingchen said this, Musashi and Shotori, plus Xu Xingchen's Asoge and Hunan, all their expressions froze.

Chaoge couldn't help but mutter: We are not soft at all...

Xu Xingchen talked about the jokes of the ship girl game players on Earth when chatting nonsense, but after entering this world, this joke became a fact.

However, most commanders in this world would not think so. Even if they had this understanding, they would not admit it. Instead, they would try their best to hide it.

Most ship girls’ requirements for their commanders are actually very simple, just to be at ease.

This kind of peace of mind is not asking the commander not to make trouble, but hoping that they will be sincere enough to themselves and not use any conspiracy with them, which will only make them tired.

Xu Xingchen now admits this state so bluntly and accepts this reality so frankly. It is obvious that he can gain the favor of the ship girls.

On this basis, Xu Xingchen has so many signing quotas, which has become very attractive.

The more contract quotas the commander has, the more tasks he can undertake, the positions he can hold, and the social resources he can control will increase exponentially.

After the scene was quiet for a few seconds, Xianghe seemed to wake up from his shock, and then looked at Xu Xingchen as if he was analyzing:

"You mean, you are based on the existing 251 ship girls who can enter the battle state at the same time to judge. Can you have twice the signing quota?"

The contracted ship girl will put mental pressure on the commander, and the pressure will double when she enters a state of combat.

If you sign a contract normally and sign it according to the upper limit of your ability, then when all the ship girls enter the battle at the same time, the commander may directly burn it to an idiot.

Therefore, almost all commanders will leave a certain margin and will not allow all ship girls to enter the battle state at the same time, avoiding burning their brains...

So Shohe has such a judgment.

In Xianghe's view, 251 ship girls can enter the battle state at the same time, which is extremely terrifying.

As a result, after a brief hesitation, Xu Xingchen answered in a very tactful tone:

"At present, all my contracted ship girls, even after entering the battle state at the same time, I still feel very relaxed and can't feel any mental pressure.

"So if I calculate this way, my ultimate contract ability is obviously much more than five hundred..."

Now Shoto and Musashi were completely silent.

Although Xu Xingchen didn't say it directly, he could judge based on his emotional fluctuations. He said it now seriously. In fact, he must have spare energy.

After the First World War in my memory, if all Japanese ship girls with destroyers and above had to sign one for each ship of the same name, so many places would be enough.

He can really do a ship girl collection activity now...

The scene was quiet for a few seconds. Xu Xingchen watched the two of them staring blankly, so he spoke a little and tried hard to persuade them:

"How are you thinking about it? I am serious now and formally invite you to join our team.

"After joining our Admiral's Office, we will get basic transformation, using early versions of anti-ship missiles, with a range of up to 70 kilometers and able to penetrate Yamato-class defenses.

"There are also new guns with fully automatic fire control systems, and new turbine systems with significantly improved power density.

"There are also fighters with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers and an engine power of more than 5,000 horsepower, and attack aircraft with four 1,000 kilograms of guided bombs...

"If you directly join my contract fleet, then everyone can get the same equipment if my ship girl used in the previous battle..."

Xianghe recovered and said in uncertainty:

"This...our identity is too special. Our decision needs to consider the companions of the Joint Fleet. I...I need some time to think carefully about it."

Musashi was originally trying to speak but stopped, but after listening to Shotori say:

"The same goes for me. I have to go back to find the flagship. If I leave silently, she will definitely beat me to death..."

Xu Xingchen stopped and nodded slightly:

"Okay, no problem. I already know about the video recording. I have someone to prepare storage and playback equipment for you. Just bring it with you when you go back."

Xu Xingchen did not urge him too much, and urged him to be useful to the new independent ship girls, so that they would not think too much about things in depth.

However, for independent ship girls like Xianghe who have lived independently for a long time, there is no point in urging them. They say that they should consider them seriously.

Moreover, it is already rare to be willing to consider rather than directly refuse the response to such a request.
