The arrival of the Ninth Sentai was considered the completion of the pre-war assembly, if no one cared about the seven transports that sank 300 nautical miles from the anchorage.

Before Kii had time to get off the ship, Sosuke Takayanagi personally took his subordinates and boarded the deck to find Kii directly.

"Borrow a step to speak."

Sato Gonjun was the first to react and gave instructions to the officers around him, and the group immediately went about their own business. "What's wrong? Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi? Is there anything you can't say more on pre-war mobilization? Our Ninth Sentai has come all the way to reinforce your fleet that has been hit by air raids. We're not a universal babysitter either. ”

Sato Gonjun deliberately wanted to give Takayanagi Sosuke a dismount, and with the victory he had just won, the initiative was not in the hands of Takayanagi Sousuke.

"Shut up! I don't have time to talk to you as a secretary! Until now, I still want to take advantage of face, and 99% of people in the world hate a character like you. ”

Sosuke Takayanagi rarely started a fire, and after reprimanding Sato Gonjun, he hurriedly took Kii's hand. "This is an emergency, and the future of the Empire is at stake. Please be sure to accede to my request. ”

The attitude changed 180 degrees, and it was also thanks to Sousuke Takayanagi that he was able to beat other people's dogs, and then shamelessly begged the dog owner for something. At least in his eyes, Sato Gonjun is an inferior person who fights with people, and he used to be in a good mood and didn't want to be like an inferior person.

Kii couldn't see these ways, and only thought that Sosuke Takayanagi was too anxious, so he reprimanded Sato Gonjun in front of her. "What's going on? If I can help you, it will be my duty to serve the Empire. ”

Changing Sato Gonjun is Kii, at this time, he would have sneered again, and then patted his ass and left. He had already guessed that the convoy had been bombed, and Sousuke Takayanagi was now in dire need of resources, so he had his eye on the transport ship of the Ninth Sentai Army.

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi, your attitude doesn't look like you're here to beg someone, but like you're here to rob. Don't fool Admiral Kii like a child. Sato Gonjun pulled away Sosuke Takayanagi and grabbed Kii's hand, turning sideways to block in between. The dignified Admiral, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, has lost his identity by doing such deeds. ”

Sosuke Takayanagi was eager to kill Sato Gonjun on the spot, and when he saw Kii's eyes deviated, as if he was about to ask Sato Gonjun, he immediately held back his anger and explained his intentions.

"The convoy was loaded with a large amount of fuel and coal, and with this amount of fuel, the entire battle plan against the New Hebrides could be carried out without any worries. And now the fuel does not reach the planned reserves, which will have a serious impact on the operational plan. So, I'd like to call on your Ninth Sentai transport fleet in Sasebo to deliver a shipment of fuel from mainland China to Shoreland Anchorage. ”

The most important thing is that Sosuke Takayanagi didn't want to ask for people from the Nagato faction many times, and with Kii's transport team, it would be more reassuring to pursue the victory and expand the results of the battle. It would take a long time to draw a transport ship from another place that would not arouse suspicion from Headquarters, and having a ready-made loan was the best option.

"It's true that some of the transport ships are idle at the Sasebo Military Port. About ......"

As soon as Kii wanted to say the number, he was pulled by Sato Gonjun and stopped.

"There are more than 5 of them. But we can't do it in vain. Sato Gonjun deliberately raised his voice, pretending to be at a loss.

Kii doesn't like to take advantage of people's danger, but it's not a matter on the battlefield, and she still prefers to listen to Sato Gonjun, who has never let Kii suffer in negotiations.

"I only need 5 transports. Immediately available. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi also wanted to hear what Sato Gonjun wanted in return, he thought that he was already very shameless and had done a lot of things that violated morality. I didn't expect to meet a little secretary who was even more shameless, and he dared to sit on the ground with the dignified admiral.

"Admiral Kiyi. Do we have 5 free transport ships for our team? ”

"Yes, more than that...... No, there are exactly 5 more. All the rest are on assignment. "Kii willingly cooperated with Sato Gonjun to play a double reed, and she thought it was interesting to be able to be angry with Sosuke Takayanagi." If you borrow it all, will it have an impact on our team? Sato-kun? ”

"Of course, Admiral. Once there are not enough transport ships at the Sasebo Military Port, they often borrow from our 9th Sentai team. In the event that such a thing happens, Commander Shiozawa will have to seek help from other military ports, and there will always be complaints against us. It's still light. Without our escort, these transport ships were sunk by the enemy, who should we go to? Speaking of which, with the escort level of a certain admiral, 7 of the 8 transport ships will be sunk, so how many of our 5 ships will be sunk in case of this time? ”

Sousuke Takayanagi laughed angrily, "Say, your conditions. I was as satisfied as I could. Although I don't have the full political contribution of your Ninth Sentai team, I still have the capital to rent 5 transport ships! ”

"Let Yamato cede the honor of the flagship of the Combined Fleet. Conversely, we do not report to Headquarters about the attack on the convoy. Stopping with a hippie smile, Gonjun Sato made every word very clear, and he waited for Sosuke Takayanagi to make concessions.

"For this kind of thing, you're going to tear my face with me?" Sosuke Takayanagi asked Kii rhetorically, hoping that Kii would decide. If Yamato takes the initiative to give up the vanity of the flagship of the Combined Fleet, of course it will return to Kii, which is no longer important to Sousuke Takayanagi, who is currently desperate. But not being important does not mean that he will simply transfer, and take this empty position that is still valuable in the eyes of others as a bet, and may be able to achieve unexpected results later.

Kii originally thought that it would be reasonable to transfer the idle transport ships of his team for the sake of the empire, and if he could help Sosuke Takayanagi, he would indirectly support the entire combined fleet. But when she heard that Gonjun Sato was going to regain the honor of the flagship of the Combined Fleet for herself, she was immediately moved. And listening to the second half of Sato Gonjun's words, Sosuke Takayanagi seems to have no reason to refuse.

As long as she repeats Sato's words now, there is no reason why Sosuke Takayanagi should not make concessions. Kii, who was in charge of decision-making for the first time, felt a great deal of pressure. Between public interest and selfish desires, she chooses.

"That's right...... "Kiita wanted to get the false name that belonged to him, and chose to break with Sosuke Takayanagi completely." Please let Yamato transfer the qualifications of the flagship of the Combined Fleet. As for the situation on the front, it's up to you to decide how to report it, and we won't reveal half a point. ”

"Do you understand what you're talking about? Kii? Not hesitating to bear the charge of 'persecuting the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet'? Is it worth it for the sake of a vacancy? ”

Having mustered up the courage to take a step forward, Kii followed the path he chose, and it was much easier to take the second step. Resentment and resentment towards Sousuke Takayanagi also welled up in her heart, and she had always regarded Sousuke Takayanagi as a partner since she first worked together before Pearl Harbor, and now she has unwittingly become a conflict of interest. What finally made her hate Sosuke Takayanagi was the information about the Deep Sea Fleet that she had given her not long ago, which actually mentioned that the battleship Suhime was related to her deceased old friend. In Kii's opinion, Sosuke Takayanagi has not hesitated to make up lies in order to win her over, and it is not worth continuing to cooperate with the other party.

"It doesn't matter if Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi doesn't want to. 5 transports are still at your disposal. But ......" Kii's weak tone was not there, and she conveyed her majesty as a battleship ship girl in a firm tone. "I will work with Admiral Tuyumen to drag you from the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet!"

"Stupid, stupid! It's up to you? It's up to you?! What can be done? Sosuke Takayanagi chuckled under his breath, very excited about Kii's change. He didn't expect that a ship girl who was not good at thinking and not good at making a brain would dare to threaten him, and he still shared the precious information with Kii. In exchange for threats, this kind of cooperation is not wanted!

Sousuke Takayanagi has his own self-confidence, he is not even afraid of the leader of the organization, "Black", and it is impossible to take Kii's threat in his eyes.

"You'd better go back to Sasebo and be your little princess! Don't take yourself too seriously! ”

Sousuke Takayanagi turned around and wanted to leave, but Gonjun Sato suddenly attacked, threw out the pen in his sleeve, and swiped Sosuke Takayanagi's hair and stuck it on the wall.

The door to the command room suddenly closed, something that Kii hadn't done when she evacuated Midway, and now she did it.

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi, what about your reply?"

In the third step, following the previous pace, Kii made the move of closing the door without any past concerns. This time it's not for others, it's for her own selfish desires, just to let Sosuke Takayanagi understand that she Kii is also a very terrible person when she is angry.

Takayanagi Sousuke's subordinates were all panicked, and only Takayanagi Sousuke's face did not change, his back was turned to Kii and Sato Gonjun, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke. Even "Hei" didn't dare to make substantive coercive behavior when he argued with him, and today he saw the amazing courage of a stupid person who was lured by a false name.

"I promised you, Kii. When this battle was over, Yamato was relieved of the honor of the flagship of the Combined Fleet. ”

The control hatch opened, which was just as easy for Kii. Sosuke Takayanagi, who had originally envisioned easy assistance, became very unhappy with him, and he became a naval genius who became a vice admiral at the age of 18 and a major admiral at the age of 22, and was repeatedly hindered by others, and now threatened by Kii. If he refuses to accept it, the entire Japanese Navy obediently takes it as his bet, and it is enough to live for him to make a big gamble in life.

"Maybe Dean Kitamura has a point, there is no need for subordinates who can think, as long as it is enough to train a group of obedient fighting machines. I'm right, why explain for stupid guys and suffer humiliation from them! If you don't want to obey me, get out of here! Some young people will be willing to serve me. ”

Mumbling Takayanagi Sousuke stepped off the sampan and left the port.

On the ship, Kii took a few long breaths of nervousness, calming down his current excitement. "Sato-kun, I did it! Reclaim the honor of the flagship of the Combined Fleet with your own strength! ”

Seeing Kii jump on the spot with joy, but Sato Gonjun has been silent after Sosuke Takayanagi agreed, he can see Kii's desire for the vacant position of the flagship of the Combined Fleet. So he couldn't reverse Kii's thoughts, and he chose to push it and let it be recaptured by his own hands.

The Kii he is loyal to and guards is an ordinary person, so Sato Gonjun will stand up and be a bad guy even though he knows that there is no point, just to let Kii be able to satisfy his desires like an ordinary person and cheer. This is a human being, not a god who is high up and indifferent to everything.

"Congratulations, Admiral Kii. Let's go say hello to the other teams in Hong Kong. For example, the newly reorganized Second Air Force. ”

Fast forward to March 4, 1943, and the New Hebrides were on the verge of breaking out.
