Fast forward again to September 30, 1941. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the last day of September, Kii-class No. 1 ship was officially delivered to service at the Sasebo Military Port.

The total length is 255 meters, the waterline depth is 234 meters, the maximum broadside width is 31 meters, and the maximum draft is 10 meters. With a standard displacement of 42,700 tons and an estimated full load of 45,500 tons, it is 8% heavier than the original Sanjo Kibayashi design. Compared to the officially completed Nagato-class battleships, Kii's hull has been enlarged by a full circle.

The main guns are the latest battleship main guns developed and manufactured by the Hiroshima Daiichi Military Factory, which is owned by Sanjo Hidesei -- 5 triple 410 mm 45 x diameter main guns, 16 single 152 mm 50 x diameter secondary guns, 6 twin 127 mm 40 x diameter high-angle guns, 4 30 120 mm jet guns, and a number of triple 25 mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

While far surpassing the Nagato-class in terms of firepower, Kii allocated a large part of the ship's on-board buildings to anti-aircraft defense weapons, and at the same time abandoned the Nagato-class's dependence on high-angle guns, and adopted the latest jet cannon developed for the Ise class. The cool barrage effect in the experiment was immediately sought after by a number of active senior naval officers such as Kii. Thanks to the generosity of the major consortia in the construction of the original twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun, the original design of the twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun was also able to switch to the latest anti-aircraft machine gun originally planned to be developed for the Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers.

In the area of early warning, in addition to all kinds of electric reconnaissance and hydrohearing, it is equipped with five water reconnaissance planes, supplemented by surface reconnaissance. In particular, it is equipped with the No. 3 Radio Wave Detector No. 2, commonly known as the No. 32 Electric Detector, which was specially developed by the Imperial Navy, and is far higher than the active warships in terms of shooting accuracy.

In addition, it is also preset with an underwater launch tube as the Nagato class, and there is no equipment configuration for the time being.

The main armor reached 381 mm at its thickest point, and the frontal armor of the turret also had 452 mm. The main armor alloy used comes from the prototype VH steel developed in the later stage of the 88th Fleet Project, which is said to be the strongest steel armor in the world at that time. Kii once personally controlled the secondary artillery to experiment with this kind of prototype armor plate that the bald people of the research institute came to sell, and the result really satisfied her.

And such a perfect hull, the expensive cost list also made Kii's eyes dizzy, and it cost 90 million yen, equivalent to 55 tons of gold. Suppose you make this gold the size of a regular brick, enough to pile up a mountain of gold. Of course, the Sanjo family can't afford to pay back so much money, and what the consortium behind it wants is the thriving military power of the Sanjo family.

For the time being, the crew of the ship is equipped with 1,400 people, many of whom are skilled workers, and it will take some time before they can really go to the front line to fight.

"Sister Kii is super cool~~" Murayu walked into the captain's room and exclaimed. As a result of her official appointment as the flagship of the Combined Fleet of the Navy, she Kii was able to wear an admiral-level uniform, except that she was not given a rank, and the ornaments used were prepared according to the highest specifications, and the chrysanthemum pattern on the handle of the command sword was shining gold.

Kii wore the wearable uniform of only Nagato in the past, and sat in the captain's room in high spirits.

"There are so many high-end dim sum that I have never seen before. Poi~" Yutachi's unique dessert radar immediately locked on the afternoon tea placed behind Kii, and he was very excited.

Mayyu took a step slower with the spring rain, and it was obvious that she had a daze attack and got lost with the spring rain. They were led by secretary Sato Gonjun. "Kii, I suggest that some places on the ship be signposted. Now many of the recruits on your ship are lost, and many things are done and executed is a waste of time. ”

"Oh, you can keep your work ......"

Sato Gonjun has never been picky in doing things, and he has already drafted the appointment letter and is waiting for Kii's consent. "Temporary signposting of the living area and a few important communication rooms. Let the logistics department deal with it in detail, and if they don't do it well, I will personally supervise it. ”

Without waiting for Kii's consent, a series of seven opinions were placed in front of Kii by Sato Gonjun in turn, "After my field investigation in the morning, your hull still has these problems that need to be coordinated with the logistics department and the combat department." In particular, I don't think the establishment of the damage management brigade can be promoted by training veterans in the past. Consider hiring technicians and maintenance personnel to serve on the ship for a long time with high salaries. I have already started discussions with the HR department about the specific salary and candidates. A detailed proposal will be given to you after a week. ”

Kii himself studied ship design, how can he understand the knowledge related to damage management, and naturally agrees with the past damage management methods, after all, the personnel on a ship are carefully calculated, and the combat personnel must ensure a certain proportion, and the other personnel are as few as possible without affecting them.

"Good, good. It's up to you. "Anyway, Sato Gonjun didn't ask for the dismantling of Kii's triple 41cm main gun, and Kii could agree.

"By the way, I almost forgot the most important thing."

When Sato Gonjun said this, Mayrain and Spring Rain secretly walked to the side.

"Bang". The five members of the 2nd Expulsion Team and Sato Gonjun sounded the salute at the same time, and the colorful pieces scattered Kii all over his body.

"Congratulations, Admiral Kii. You are the glory of the Ninth Team. ”

"My new clothes!"

Kii is still very happy, she now has a group of trustworthy subordinates.

Just five days ago, the No. 2 ship of the Shozuru-class -- Zuizuru -- was completed and launched at Yokosuka Military Port. It seems that in order to train the pilots of carrier-based aircraft in the Fifth Air War in advance, many of the equipment on the Zuihe has not yet been fully installed, so they will start using it first.

Compared with Xianghe, which was built before and was equipped with some Type 99 naval explosions, Ruihe was equipped with all new carrier-based aircraft from the beginning, and it was different from the Zero Type 21 fighter commonly used in the first and second air battles. Zuihe is equipped with 25 of the latest Zero Type 52 fighters.

At this point, the gap between regular aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers has also been significantly widened, and the ship-based aircraft configuration represented by Long Xiang and Ruifeng is still the carrier-based aircraft configuration of the past, and the 125 air battle has achieved a huge weapon advantage, and in the future operations Takayanagi Sousuke has also set his sights on these six imperial treasures.

On the same day that Kii was built, there were also people who were not happy. Because there is someone in front of me who shouldn't be there.

"Why did Mr. Keiji Nishikawa come all the way to my territory?"

In the bright reception room, there was no one else, a young man in a suit and leather pants sat on the sunny side. He seemed a little restrained, not as confident as he had been when he first came in. It was mainly the person sitting across from him who made him feel a lot of pressure.

"It's not my brother's family who gave birth to a child, and I'm also an uncle, so I came back to see them. Now that you're in the country, how can you not visit the 'black' adult. "It sounds human, but neither of them will waste time for this thing.

The man sitting in the backlight thought for a moment. "Macau casinos are fun, right? I lost my house, so I went back to China to ask me for money? ”

"Lord Hei, this is purely a subordinate plaything. Never go again next time. "Keiji Nishikawa didn't expect that the other party would already know his old background, so he simply admitted it." Master Hei, do you think you can give some more money to the villain? It's not easy to do business abroad, and I have no way out, you can't watch the villain live on the streets and die in a foreign country, right? ”

[You'd better die quickly! 】

"Black" really wanted to kill the waste raised by this organization directly, but it happened that it was the day when Kii was built, and thinking of the credit of Keiji Nishikawa, Hei also suppressed the anger a little.

"Want money again? I really don't lack money, and I don't feel sorry for the waste of allocating it to you. But you have asked me for money several times, but you can't help anything, what should I leave you for? "Black's tone is very unkind, and he does have a very hostile attitude towards people at times." The Chinese battlefield is just short of mission performers, do you want to go to Chinese mainland to work for the organization? ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to Chinese mainland, Keiji Nishikawa immediately retreated, "Lord Hei, you know. I'm just a tech guy and let me do the task of an agent, it's ...... Isn't that killing me? ”

"But if you stay in the country, even if I am relieved, can you rest assured? If Kii knows anything, your life will turn to dust under the shells of the 41 cannon. Kure Harbor or Sasebo, it's not safe for you to stay anywhere. ”

"She shouldn't know about ......"

"Shut up!" Hei slapped the table and stopped the other party's words. "Well, the Truko station is under construction, and you go to the maintenance department there as a liaison for our organization. Always keep an eye out for Nagato and others. ”

"Yes, I will complete the task." Keiji Nishikawa knew that the errand given by "Black" was an idle job, and in Nagato's current situation, what kind of turmoil could he toss when he was assigned to the new base in Nanyang? Mutsu all blew themselves up bizarrely, and the original First Sentai didn't have much strength left. "Look, can you advance some money first?"

"You prepare me to rush to the Truk base now, and I will arrange someone to assist you in the rest."

Seeing that Kuro was already impatient, Keiji Nishikawa hurriedly took his leave and left. He can't stay in Macau, and he doesn't dare to stay in China for a long time, and it is better to have an idle job to sit than to live a hard life on the Chinese battlefield in the past.

Seeing Nishikawa Keiji leave in a hurry, Hei really wanted to pull out and kill this rice worm for a moment. If he had been allowed to follow the five people into the dock at the beginning, now there would be no more martyrs who are loyal to the country, not a rice worm who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Akagi, what do you think about what happens next?"

Akagi, who had been hiding behind the curtain for a long time, came out. She also saw Keiji Nishikawa, who gave black a headache just now, and it was indeed even worse than in the past, he actually owed a huge gambling debt in Macau, and boldly ran back to China to ask for money, and instead Kaga shot him in the head with an arrow here.

"The Battle of Pearl Harbor is imperative, and the Empire has waited too long for this day. I, Akagi, will lead all the officers and men of the First Air War to destroy the Pacific Fleet of the American Federation as much as possible. ”

"Akagi, you don't usually speak so harshly. Once the war starts, not only you, but even the destroyer Niang may be killed and sunk at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In other words, once the war starts, the death and injury of these destroyers will be inevitable, even if the admirals have concerns, the elders of the naval headquarters do not care whether these children live or die. You can only go back to the factory to repair a torpedo in one shot, and it will be the end of their lives for them. "Black doesn't know why at this time, but he brought up the destroyer girl." Fighting to sue for peace with the American Federation, how many lives do you think you will have to sacrifice? You probably know better than I am, right? ”

"I'll do my best to reduce that number." Akagi left the window with the gift he had brought and left the reception room.

"I hope there is no you in that number. Akagi. "Black's smile is as unpredictable as his personality.
