Ten kilometres southeast of the island, 10 kilometres from the port, a passenger ship carrying Masamu Dahe and his entourage is sailing unhurriedly – the old liner used to ferry around the surrounding islands. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Has the Empire been defeated?" and without receiving an answer from Ogagawa, Kohachi Matsushima asked again, but this time his voice was small and seemed more like talking to himself.

Masayoshi Oga understands Kohachi Matsushima's mood at the moment, since he was born, he has been fighting for the empire that no longer exists, and he wants to figure out the survival of the empire himself. This is simply a matter of course.

"To the east!" said Kohachi Matsushima suddenly.

"Why?" asked Masayoshi Taiga. The East is facing the coming of the Shen people, what is Kohachi Matsushima going to do?

"I don't want to run away. "A few simple words, Kohachi Matsushima said it categorically.

"My grandfather and father fought all their lives, and they never backed down, no matter what the odds were. And I was given great power, and I couldn't be like a lost dog. Kohachi Matsushima's expression was very serious.

Matsushima Kohachi didn't insist on asking if he was defeated, which made Taiga Masayoshi breathe a sigh of relief, but he asked to face the east, where there were not only Shen people, but more importantly, there were also Yan people, Matsushima Kohachi was going there, what was he thinking in his heart?

"Okawa-san, please!" Kohachi Matsushima bowed deeply.

Masayoshi Oga was stunned, not because of Kohachi Matsushima's stubbornness, but because he suddenly remembered the timid Filipinos he had reprimanded when he landed on the island. Not long ago, he rebuked them for being a regular soldier and being defeated by seven World War II veterans. He was qualified to laugh at the timid Filipinos, but what he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for him to become the one to be ridiculed - in fact, no one laughed at the Taiga Justice, it was he who laughed at him.

Why are you worried about being caught up by the Shen people? Why do you want to leave before the Shen people arrive? Why are you suspicious or even worried about the people of the Shen country? Dahe Zhengyi can convince himself that the above is definitely not because he is timid, but what he has done is all confirmation of this.

Just as Kohachi Matsushima said just now, why is he so timid when he has such a powerful ability? What are the people of Shen Guo? What are the people of the Jin country? Masayoshi Ogawa feels that he is the person who should be most ashamed.

"Go tell the captain to turn around!" said Okawa straightened his waist and instructed his attaché.

Soon, the attaché brought back the other party's answer - no.

"You say they won't?" said Okawa frowned. Passenger ships receive money and give away people, where is it not the same? Why refuse?

"You say they already know that the Shen Guo Capable is coming?" When he got the answer from the attaché's mouth, Oga Masayoshi was extremely surprised. To know the news that the merchant ships of the Shen people were approaching the territorial waters of the Philippines, he had only just gotten it. When did the Filipino man become so well-informed, and he was only the captain of a passenger ship, although he seemed to have some kinship with the Philippine military, which itself was helped to connect with the Philippine military.

Well, Dahe Masayoshi himself found the answer, it must be the people of the country who reported the information to the Philippine military, and then......

"This sieve country!" scolded Dahe Justice.

"Okawa-san?" Kohachi Matsushima doesn't know Philipin as well as Masayoshi Oga, although he has been "living" on the land of this country since he was born.

"The captain of the ship was reluctant to turn, but it didn't matter, there were many ways to get him to change his mind. Dahe said lightly. As he said, there are many ways to change the captain's mind, such as using the simplest and most effective means of coercion.

"No need. Kohachi Matsushima suddenly looked to the side of the ship and said.

"Why?" Masayoshi Taiga was a little strange, wasn't he the one who had been insisting on turning?

"Because I found a better boat. The look on Matsushima's face I don't know how to describe, surprise, anger, sadness, and a hint of excitement.

"Better ships?" "Masayoshi Ogawa looked outside, well, there were, they were the two Jacinto-class corvettes that didn't dare to dock and had been floating outside the harbor. Apparently they received the news that Masayoshi Matsushima had left, so they were also evacuating.

Although the face of the Philippine Coastal Force, both "frigates" are still well maintained - at least for their "advanced age". But in the eyes of Dahe Justice, these are two pieces of scrap metal floating on the sea, which can be dismantled with his bare hands.

It's not a joke, if Dahe Masayoshi wants, he can really dismantle those two capital ships of the Philippine Coastal Army with his bare hands, and it won't take long.

However, Masayoshi Oga is sure that the "better ships" that Matsushima Kohachi said are definitely not these two, because they are not qualified to make Matsushima Kohachi show such a complicated expression.

Sure enough, Kohachi Matsushima looked under the surface of the sea, determined, as if he wanted to penetrate the sea.

"What's there?" asked Masayoshi Oga. But he already had a vague answer in his mind.

Judging by Matsushima's abilities and his words, he is able to summon people who had strong obsessions before he died, as well as items related to their obsessions, such as his father and his father's weapons before the battle was over.

What have I done in this sea area? The identity of a ship in this sea area that has moved Matsushima Kohachi so much is about to come out!

"I feel a lot of loyal souls, many, too many! Their unwillingness and anger are so strong!" Matsushima Kohachi stretched out his hands excitedly.

Then he became bitter again: "These are the heroic spirits of the empire, but they are helplessly buried here, so we can see what kind of blow the empire suffered at the beginning!"

"Sixty-eight years ago, the strongest naval battle in history broke out here!" said Okawa with a sigh of pride.

It is not an exaggeration that 68 years ago, the Yakuza and the Saymoto did fight the largest naval battle in human history, with a total of 28 aircraft carriers, 21 battleships, 44 cruisers, and more than 200 ships of various colors, including destroyers, which is not more than the number of these warships combined, which is about 1,800 aircraft.

Although the ultimate loser of the war was the one who lost the war, as a participant in the largest naval battle in human history, even defeat is a testament to its strength. Defeat is relative, and losing to the more powerful world No. 1 Kokuni is nothing to say – at least that's what Kohachi Matsushima thinks.

And so it was. "Matsushima Kohachi is not as indifferent as Okawa Justice, compared to Okawa Masei, who has been the world's only superpower since he was sensible, Matsushima Kohachi's education is the strongest in the empire, and the role of Kohachi is the enemy that the empire wants to fight, since it means that the other party is not invincible. So for Kohachi Matsushima, the defeat of the Imperial Navy was obviously more difficult to accept.

"You feel the loyal soul of the Empire, do you want to summon the Imperial fleet?" asked Masayoshi Ogawa with some hesitation. Although it should logically be that Kohachi Matsushima summoned seven World War II veterans and their weapons and equipment on the island of Tsura, but the Imperial fleet?

"Yes, but my current strength is not enough, and I can only help a small number of Heroic Spirits fulfill their wishes. Kohachi Matsushima blamed himself, as if he was apologizing to Justice Okawa and to the undead under the sea.

"Who can you summon?" Matsushima Kohachi's definitive answer made Ogagawa's heart jump, and according to his memory, there was a huge ship under the surface of the sea that was once the symbol of the Honmoto.

At this moment, the sea water seemed to be boiling and churned, and a steel beast suddenly broke free from its cage and saw the light of day again!

"That's it, Musashi!" said Ogawa, looking at the broken sea, his heart shocked.

PS: The idea for this volume of Matsushima came from a book that I wanted to open separately before: "The Indomitable Fleet". The general premise of "The Indomitable Fleet" is that the protagonist travels around the world, summons the fleets of those who lost naval battles, and helps them fight for another five hundred years, such as the First Sino-Japanese War, Jutland and so on, and of course, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the prototype of this chapter. But how to say it, after all, the navy of the modern Shen State is too weak, and the only fleet that can summon and take a little shot is the Beiyang Naval Division, and the fleets of other countries have no sense of belonging, and I always feel that there is no passion from the bottom of my heart to fight foreigners with a bunch of foreigners, so I put it down at that time. Until today, "The Indomitable Fleet" has finally been integrated into "Divine Word". (In the later chapters of the "Word of God", there are also many books that want to be opened separately but are abandoned for various reasons, and they are all integrated like this volume.) ）

PS2: Musashi is indeed sunk in the Philippines, but the exact location is blurred in the book, and most of the historical events and so on in many countries in the "Divine Words" are specious, some of them are done to better match the development of the story, and some are deliberately avoided, so it is normal for this aspect to be different from history, so don't worry too much about it. In addition, it's not a spoiler, that is, many things in "The Divine Word" are not in line with the historical reality, and the situation can be justified in the follow-up plot, in the foot-to-foot plan, the plot of the first two million words of "The Divine Word" is just a foreshadowing for the whole book, and the back is really grand, these specious realistic histories are used for the follow-up plot, and when the time comes, there will not only be a reasonable explanation but also become the main axis to promote the plot. Well, there may be real spoilers if you talk too much, so that's it. In the future, when there is a similar problem, the feet and feet will not be repeated. o(∩__∩)o

PS3: One more thing, originally the feet said "Divine Words" 3 million words, according to the current progress, it is far more than that, this time the feet and feet have to write a super long story!o(∩__∩)o
