The conference hall is a circular auditorium with a raised and lowered podium at its center. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of Xing Meiyun's lightness, Su Yun almost sat in the front row, close to the central area, and all the details could be seen clearly.

After a while, the time was close to nine o'clock in the morning, and the crowd was already boiling in the venue, and finally an old woman in a military uniform appeared, supported by two emcees, and walked onto the podium.

This person Su Yun naturally recognized that it was the famous legendary Admiral Yanagawa Aoi.

This spirited old man was the mother of the Shozuru who was in the 60s of the last century, and made great achievements for the Sakurajima Navy, and is still selected as the prototype of the Shozuru aircraft carrier to this day, that is, the benchmark for the peak synchronization rate. After retiring from the army, Yanagawa did not choose to be demobilized, but remained in the naval system, and a few years later was appointed as the admiral of the No. 58 official town guard office, and then gradually promoted to admiral with his far-sighted strategic talents, becoming the commander-in-chief of the naval headquarters and the first female admiral of Sakurajima.

Her story has long since become legendary.

The legendary character stood still at the podium, looked around for a moment, then coughed lightly and said slowly, "Please be quiet, the entrance phase is over, and the 57th Expeditionary Force meeting is about to begin." ”

With these words, the hall of thousands of people instantly became silent.

Su Yun had never seen such a uniform scene.

"I saw a lot of familiar faces today. Admiral Yanagawa didn't seem to need any warm-up work, and he spoke to himself as if he were at home, "Brigadier General Zuo Xu of the No. 127 Town Guard Mansion, Mr. Shiraishi of the No. 213 Town Guard Mansion, and many more colleagues who shone in the last expedition are honored to be able to meet you again at this national convention as the commander-in-chief of this operation after a year and three months. ”

After speaking, Admiral Yanagawa paused, and Su Yun just wanted to applaud, but found that there was no sound around him, so he held back.

The admiral on the stage again looked around at the thousands of people on the field.

"I have learned about the list of the expeditionary force, most of them are old acquaintances, but there are still about 700 or so colleagues who are participating for the first time, so there are some prefaces that still need to be explained, if the remaining 1,800 old acquaintances feel that they are tired of listening, please bear with me for a while. This is serious business, especially for inexperienced newcomers. ”

"First of all, these 700 colleagues, this time you are facing a real deep-sea fleet - of course, I am not saying that the ones who have fought with you in the past are all fake deep-sea fleets, but there is a big difference between them: the latter is the cannon fodder sent by the deep sea to fight against us, or send us to death, while the former is the final hole card they use to defend their territory. In addition, the Z3 sea area is their home turf after all, they occupy the geographical advantage and the difficulty of attacking the battle against the Tsuji, in the past 56 expeditionary operations, even if we are well prepared and sure of victory each time, there are still 18 times that end in our defeat, and I don't want this to be the 19th. ”

"Secondly, in the Z3 Sea, the safety of your lives cannot be guaranteed 100%, so please be cautious at all times. At the same time, the commanders of all teams must keep in mind that the life of the ship girl always comes first, and if a strategy leads to a situation that could endanger the lives of the members of the team, then there is no need for it to exist, even if it can achieve brilliant results after implementation. ”

"Finally, everything you see in the Z3 sea area is classified as a military secret, so before entering that sea, remember the identity of your Sakurajima Navy and the position where you are. Once you sign the NDA, all the above laws will take effect immediately, please cherish your opportunity and do not do anything irrational. ”

"This is the foreword I would like to give to my colleagues who are joining the expeditionary force for the first time. ”

Applause rang out, and Admiral Yanagawa watched everything in the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next, let's explain the details of the Z3 sea area in detail......"

……

……

Z3 is a prismatic area with a side length of 100 nautical miles located in the western Pacific Ocean, which has been seized by the Deep Sea Fleet since 1139 A.D., the year after the outbreak of the deep sea.

Although the ocean map of this world has changed a lot compared to Su Yun's previous life, the Pacific Ocean is still the largest ocean in the world, and its area even occupies 20% of the entire earth. Now, 80 years later, mankind has only regained about 30% of the sea control of the entire Pacific Ocean, and as for the deeper deep sea, it is still an extremely dangerous and unknown area.

In that tens of millions of square kilometers of calm sea, no one knows what kind of horror is hidden underwater.

Today is the fifth day after the expeditionary force meeting, and over the course of five days, about 2,500 people who attended the meeting were organized into 75 detachments of three army corps and went to dozens of naval bases near Yokosuka for a simple run-in. Among them, the first corps is the main corps, which is mainly composed of members sent by the front-line town guards, and they are basically veteran members who cooperate tacitly, and it is better to say that they are running in than to take a few days off to adjust their status; That's right, Su Yun understood a little, if he didn't meet Xing Meiyun Qing when he came out this time, but reported to work step by step and obeyed the assignment made by his superiors, then the 17th Detachment of the Third Army to which he belonged was mainly tasked with escorting the perimeter of the combined fleet of the headquarters in the early stage of the expeditionary force operation.

The so-called Command Combined Fleet is a fleet composed of the White Dragon-class aircraft carrier as the flagship, eight Kyushu-class heavy transport ships, and hundreds of mixed missile ships, and all the ships in this fleet are real warships rather than ship mothers. The significance of its existence is equivalent to forming a mobile base at sea, with the White Dragon-class aircraft carrier as the general headquarters, eight heavy transport ships providing all logistical supplies, and hundreds of mighty missile ships as powerful long-range support, with a range of hundreds of nautical miles away.

The fleet would not penetrate deep into the Z3 Sea, not even touching the edge, it would be too dangerous, and until it was ensured, it would dock at the forward port of the Z1 Sea, which was closer to land, which was under the jurisdiction of the 381st Line Warden. Of course, because Xing Meiyun lightly and forcibly pulled Su Yun into his team, these have nothing to do with him.

Now he is sailing on the vast sea.

The sky is still the same sky, and the sea is still a blue and black sea, but since 23 o'clock last night, Su Yun, who has passed through the boundary between the Z1 sea area and the Z2 sea area, feels that he has indeed entered a completely different world.

The most obvious manifestation is that in this place, there is nothing to see except the seawater.

"General!"

On the deck of the voyage with a slight shake, there was a wooden table, and Xing Meiyun, who was used as a mount by her sister, gently put her head and hands on the table, and struggled to drop the last one.

Su Yun on the other side frowned, seemed to be in thought, and after a moment, let out a long sigh.

"Eh, there's no way out, I'm losing again. ”

Xing Meiyun shook his head lightly, he didn't seem to be very happy after winning the chess, and frowned slightly: "After a night, Sheng Tianjun is still a little nervous, he always feels a little absent-minded." ”

"Actually, my chess skills are already poor......"

Xingmei Yunqing wanted to say something, but saw Xingmei Sao on his body shouting excitedly.

"Sheng Tian-kun, why don't we go back to the cabin and play electricity, don't play this boring chess game with this useless livestock, we can't understand what's fun after watching it for a long time just now!"

Su Yun hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, forget about the electric too, is it really good to say that your attitude like you're on an outing, from last night to today, we should have passed through the entire Z2 sea area, and we are about to enter the Z3 sea area that is controlled by the deep sea, right?"

Xing Meiyun nodded lightly: "Yes, but Tone and Chikuma are exploring the way ahead, the problem is not too big, as long as you rush to the M87 island and reef before this afternoon." ”

"But don't you think it's too strange that you haven't seen a deep-sea expulsion along the way?"

"The deep sea is shrinking and defending, normal. ”

As soon as the words fell, a dull detonation was heard from the front room, causing the entire deck to tremble slightly.

Su Yun was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

Xing Meiyun hurriedly stabilized him: "Anla, An, the sound just now should be that the floating cannons are removing shallow water mines, and it is inevitable that there will be minefields everywhere after entering the Z3 sea area, as pioneers, of course, we must do a good job of cleaning up the follow-up troops 50 nautical miles behind us." And in my opinion, we may not be able to meet an enemy who is willing to take the initiative to fight us before tonight, and the deep sea is not stupid now, it will not be as brainless to resist as before, and it is the right thing to know how to retain the strength to the maximum and survive the last leisure before the battle. ”

"Well, I'll admit I was a little nervous. ”

As the No. 551 Town Guard Team of the Eighth Detachment of the First Army, it was naturally assigned the most important task, that is, to break into the Z3 sea area as a vanguard army and make a security guarantee for the construction of forward positions for the follow-up troops. The 1st Army had a total of 12 teams, divided into three groups, each group of four, which entered the sea area from the west, north and south directions, and established positions on three different target islands, and the 8th detachment was one of the four westward vanguard armies, and the 7th detachment 10 nautical miles to the left was neck and neck, opening up a route to the M87 islands and reefs in the Z2 sea area.

Such an important task naturally made Su Yun excited that he didn't sleep well all night, and he was ready to be attacked at any time, but after a night, he didn't even find a long-sighted deep-sea expulsion, which really made Su Yun unexpected. If it weren't for Xing Meiyunqing, this was the fourth time he had participated in the expeditionary force operation, he was experienced, and the words he said were full of weight, Su Yun would not have been able to feel at ease.

However, Su Yun also felt it, Xingmei Yunqing, this guy, didn't seem to take the deep sea too seriously at all, including the first few days of the Yokosuka run-in, every day was either ridden by Xingmei Sao or sent by other ship girls to roll eyes and insult, other than that, there was only all about eating, drinking, and having fun, and he looked like he didn't care at all. Su Yun recalled his bold words in the toilet at the beginning, and wanted to fight with him on the ocean Yunyun, and he would always wonder if this was, because now he couldn't guess how this guy should fight - he didn't have a ship suit, and he didn't have a homemade mecha or anything like that, so he just jumped into the sea and splashed water on the deep-sea warship?

Well, having said that, Su Yun didn't worry too much.

Although Xing Meiyun is completely useless, his ship mother is really strong!

The Musashi, which was called a sea fortress last time, was commanding the ship to escort one nautical mile in front of it, and it was on the right and left sides of the protective circle formed by five Akizuki-class destroyers, followed by the Daiho-class and Shinano-class aircraft carriers and their escort ships—just when they were playing chess, there were still several groups of fighters in the sky from time to time that they had released to reconnoitre. Not to mention the fact that there are two floating gunboats in Tone-tsukimo, as well as four underwater submarines I, who are carrying out minesweeping work.

With such a lineup, unless a division of troops is dispatched from the deep sea side to encircle and suppress, Su Yun doesn't know how to lose at all.

However, what really made Su Yun feel that the egg hurt was mainly another problem......

In such a luxurious battle lineup, there is no place for him at all!

This embarrassing situation was expected by Su Yun for a long time, the eighth detachment composed of the No. 551 Town Guard Mansion was originally a whole, and the result of Xing Meiyun lightly pulling him in was that it was redundant wherever he put it, and the direct consequence was that now he could only stay on the command ship and play chess with Xing Meiyun, who also had nothing to do, and even felt unnecessary to put on the ship's uniform and go into the water.

As for Sao Hoshimi......

Since the deep-sea expulsion that has not shown her head all day can be beaten, she also looks bored.

Xing Meiyun said lightly that it was still early, and there would be opportunities to show his strength in the future, so Su Yun could only choose to believe it or not. This awkward situation lasted until noon, when the sun rose overhead, and the occasional thunder explosion for several nautical miles ahead had exceeded 1,000 in five hours, and the smell of gunpowder and smoke was on the waters they passed.

Finally, at the end of the vast horizon, an inconspicuous dot appeared.

"Perverted Admiral, your destination is coming. ”

A soft and boneless voice sounded from the communicator next to Xing Meiyunqing, and after a few days of understanding, Su Yun knew that this voice came from the floating gunboat Chikuma in front.

Xing Meiyun, who was doing push-ups under the scorching sun, jumped up from the ground.

"Got it, slow down and wait until the follow-up troops catch up. ”

After speaking, he turned around and smiled at Su Yun.

"Prepare, Morita-kun, the first battle you've been looking forward to will start soon. (To be continued.) )
