He has been living in Sasebo for 20 days, and Kii, who is sitting in his office and flipping through the records of the transport ship, looks listless in the face of the hot temperature. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kii-sama, Kii-sama."

Kii, who was pushed on the shoulder, woke up while lying asleep on the desk. She rubbed her eyes before she saw the secretary standing beside her.

"Kii-sama, the sun is setting. That's the summary for today. Once you've made sure it's correct, sign it. ”

After Kii fell asleep, Gonjun Sato did all the work for her, and it wasn't until the street lights outside came on that he woke Kii up.

Looking at the rigorous summary report in front of him, Ji Yi was a little embarrassed, and the dignified admiral slept all afternoon looking at the statistical table, but it was the secretary who finished all the work.

After signing, it is equivalent to the end of the day's work, and the other civil servants begin to say goodbye and leave. "Sato-kun, I can do this job, you don't have to do it all for me."

"Kii-sama, you don't have to force yourself. I'm your subordinate, and I'm supposed to solve all your work problems for you. ”

Kii only heard the first half of the sentence and left the office with his briefcase. Just as she was about to return to her residence, Gonjun Sato delivered a telegram. "This is a telegram from Yubari of the Seventh Sentai Team, saying that your brother Sanjo Terumasa has arrived at the Kaohsiung Military Port in Yizhou. If you have any souvenirs of Yizhou, Yubari will send them to you. ”

"Let the sisters of the seventh team take care of their bodies and return to these for the time being. Yizhou doesn't have any special products in my impression. ”

Sato Gonjun knew that Kii had an admiral brother Sanjo Terumasa who worked in Kure Harbor, and he also vaguely knew that his boss Kii had a bad relationship with her brother. "Kii-sama......"

"Needless to say, I don't need anyone else to take care of my family affairs."

In the face of Kii's tough attitude, Sato Gonjun had no choice but to swallow the words back into his stomach. "There is no work tomorrow. Why don't you take the six shipwives to Nagasaki City to relax? To put it bluntly, the work of the Ninth Sentai is often exempted from even going to sea, just counting the situation of the transport fleet. ”

In the past 20 days, most of Kii's work has been done by Sato Gonjun, and she is really embarrassed to refuse the other party continuously. "Well, but you're going to come along. I can't cope with Oi going north. ”

"Yes, Admiral."

The two walked out of the gate, and the shuttle car was already waiting outside, and Sato Gonjun and Kii had their own residences, which was considered a stop. Working with Sato Gonjun, Kii basically doesn't have to worry about it, but he has a feeling that he used to be with his friend Hua Kaiyuan Ryuxing. He is also a doer, equally smart, and always wants to be ahead of others.

"Sato-kun, you remind me of a friend of mine. It's a little different, though. ”

"Oh. Am I too long-winded? ”

"No, you're never going to contradict me. If I were a friend, I would always find a lot of holes in my vision. ”

"Because, I don't think you're wrong, you don't need me to correct it, I just need to correct it."

Kii didn't understand what Sato Gonjun meant, but felt that it seemed to make sense. What's so bad about someone who thinks everything through and takes care of it by the way?

"Then your friend is still working in Kure Harbor?"

"No, he's there."

Kii sat in the back seat of the car and pointed to the sea beyond the dam. The beach at sunset is exceptionally beautiful.

"It's already one with the sea."

The water washes silently onto the beach, leaving behind a lone crab or two, the shells reflecting the colours of the sunset, and the occasional ship sailing in the distance.

"The sea is so beautiful." Kii sat in the back seat, stunned by the scenery outside the car window, in order to design a supercrossbow-class battleship, he had been running back and forth with his companions' bedrooms, laboratories, and libraries. Although they yearn for the blue sea and are willing to become one with the sea after death, it has been a long, long time since they have enjoyed the view of the sea as they do today.

"The sea is so beautiful every day." Sato's answer seemed to be repeating, "It's a pity that the storm is coming." ”

"Storm?"

Sato Gonjun subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette from his pocket, and when he worked with the old admiral, he smoked it every day. However, due to Kii's assumption of office, he almost did not make a move to pull out a cigarette in front of Kii.

Realizing that something was wrong, Sato took out his pocket watch from his pocket. "It's 6 p.m."

"Sato-kun, what is the storm?"

Sato Gonjun has already gotten a lot of information from Kii's mouth, and after that, he has his own plans. "Don't think too much when I didn't say it. Anyway, the storm is far away from our Ninth team. ”

Will there really be a storm? Will it really be far from the Ninth Team? A person like Sato Gonjun who is too smart has seen too many things that he shouldn't see, and it is precisely because of this that this genius politician will be thrown to Sasebo as a secretary. In the eyes of the people at the headquarters of the commander of the Navy, obedient people are far more reliable than smart people, because they all think that they are already smart people, so why bother a few more?

The opportunity is also in front of Sato Gonjun: the five daughters of the Sanjo family, the sister of Admiral Terumasa Sanjo, the admiral of the ninth Sentai team, and the new super crossbow class battleship ship that surpasses the BIG7 Nagato class...... Each title is enough for a person from a poor family to fight for a lifetime.

However, when he saw the "star of hope" of the empire in the mouth of the commissioner of the headquarters and the commander-in-chief of the Sasebo Military Port, Sato Gonjun could only sigh that the ship's mother was an unscientific girl.

After working with Kii for 20 days, Sato Gonjun understands Kii, regardless of the identity of the ship's mother, how many catties and taels does she have. It's purely a big lady who should study hard in school, she is lazy to eat, she doesn't pay attention to work, and she laughs with her subordinates all day long. Unlike those standard officials of the second generation, Kii has a shy personality, and when he is frightened, he has no opinions, and he will not rely on his power to fly and dominate, and can be a mascot to boost morale. Sato Gonjun should raise a younger sister and take the army's money, so he must be worthy of taxpayers' money.

As for the storm, walking out of the bustling Sasebo military port, you can feel it by looking at the current domestic people. Prices are skyrocketing, unemployment is rising, law and order in third-tier cities is dire, the news media is unanimous in promoting patriotism, and politicians are clearly trying to turn all social contradictions into ********. Once the meat grinder of war is in operation, the extra people, the extra products, and the extra social discontent will all be ground into minced meat. From the First Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, and then to the new pattern of the world after the end of World War I, Japan has won every bet. To put it bluntly, politicians are a group of gamblers who don't want to die, not only their own lives, but also the lives of their families, even the lives of the entire Yamato nation, and they can also take past victories to deceive the ignorant people.

The cherry blossoms of the Taisho era were short-lived after all.

"It's here, I'll send a car to pick you up at the door tomorrow morning." Sending Kii to her residence, Sato Gonjun has already thought about tomorrow's play plan, although she is a powerful ship girl, but her mind is full of little children. Before the height of summer arrives, go shopping in Nagasaki city, and girls will love it. With this thought, Sato Gonjun walked back to his residence, which was only a few hundred meters away, and he could not enjoy the special car treatment.

It was June 22, 441 days before the outbreak of World War II, and 15 days before the start of the war machine.

Fifteen days is just the time to prepare for the oil before the machine starts, and it can even be said that the oil is poured in much earlier, and 15 days is just an auspicious day for crazy gamblers.

At the Kaohsiung Military Port in Yizhou, the ships and mothers drawn from the various town guards have arrived, and everything is in a state of secrecy, claiming that it is a routine military exercise, but the scale of the military exercise is a little larger.

Kaga, Long Xiang, and Feng Xiang, the three most important aircraft carrier mothers, are so secret that other Kaohsiung military port mothers don't know about it. The only claim to the internal mobile forces is the addition of the sea-based carrier Kamui. On the night of the 22nd, Lieutenant General Hasegawa of the Provisional Mobile Force secretly met with Kaga.

Compared with the two light aircraft carriers Long Xiang and Feng Xiang, in the eyes of Vice Admiral Hasegawa, the commander of the fleet, Kaga, as the best regular aircraft carrier in the first air war, is the most important weapon.

"Military exercise, when will it start?" Kaga had never spoken to Hasegawa before, and she knew that the other party was a command officer who admired the victory of warships.

"Miss Kaga, don't be so serious, let's have a cup of tea and talk slowly. No one will hear what you or I say. ”

Nagumo Tadaichi often whispered in Kaga's ear not to listen to the rhetoric of the old foxes in the headquarters, and Kaga never felt at ease, but he still remembered it. "Let me ask again, when will the military exercises start?"

Knowing that Kaga is a woman who doesn't give face, Lieutenant General Hasegawa is not in the mood to go around the corner. "There will be no military exercises. There is the seventh warring team of Admiral Terumasa of Sanjo, plus the ships here, which are enough to frighten the natives who don't know each other. ”

Lieutenant General Hasegawa, who was 54 years old at the time, also seemed accustomed to being looked down upon by his country's soldiers, especially since what he said was enough to make Kaga angry.

"What do you want to do?"

Kaga has a cold personality, but it's not an expelled elementary school student who is still holding a party outside. If it's not a military exercise, then it's going to be dead, after all, the war knife has been unsheathed, how can there be a reason not to see red.

"No hurry, I also know that Miss Kaga doesn't trust people like me. I just hope to cooperate normally and complete the tasks assigned by the above. The flagship of the entire mobile fleet was the Izumo of the town guard, and the Kongo-class battlecruiser Haruna was transferred as a wingman. Miss Kaga only needs to accompany the convoy and carry out my orders. ”

"Feel free, the people in your mouth are ants to you, but to me, why aren't you humans?"

Hasegawa laughed to himself, but didn't react violently. "Miss Kaga's words, if they get out, they will be investigated for military justice."

"If you humans really punish me for words, then I'm impressed." Kaga stood up, took out a German-made pistol from his pocket, and threw it in front of Hasegawa. "This toy is free, I don't need it."

"Just a little gift. In the words of the people of China, 'courtesy is still exchanged'. ”

Kaga picked up the pistol and pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger with a blank face, and the bullet landed with the cartridge casing.

Lieutenant General Hasegawa saw with his own eyes that the bullet was compressed into pieces of iron, and it did not touch Kaga's temple at all.

"You humans always like to give toys as gifts? I'm stronger than you know to be a ship's mother. ”
