Rabaul was in shambles after the raid, and this was the largest in recent times. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Kii himself estimated that the enemy planes coming from about 80 regular air carriers of the ヲ class came from the enemy, and the enemy lost regenerative carrier-based aircraft, while they lost lives and expensive weapons on their side.

"Welcome, Kii-sama, Shozuru and the warband's Admiral General Hara are waiting for you."

When Kii boarded the Shozuru, he saw the tragic pit on the flight deck in the distance, and the Shozuru had been hit by more than one bomb during the air raid. The repair work is being taken over by professional workers in the berth, and the condition is not too serious. After the Xianghe was renovated, the old-fashioned wooden deck was replaced with armor plates like the Dafeng, and the ballistic resistance was greatly improved.

Kii didn't notice that the crew of the Shozuru next to her was urging her.

"It's very different from the Shozuru of the past, and just by seeing it up close, you will be shocked by her armor-covered all-through deck."

"Thank you for the compliment, but unfortunately my deck has just been blown out of a hole." Shozuru had already appeared in front of Kii on crutches, who only realized it when he heard the voice.

It's not the first time the two have met, but it's as if this time they've really gotten to know each other.

One is the armored air carrier Niang, who is at the forefront of the times, and the deputy of Akagi, the real owner of the current IJN Combined Fleet; The other is the Daughter of the Deep with immunity, currently the most dazzling warship in the IJN Combined Fleet.

Xianghe's long silver hair is also a little haggard, but she is different from the newcomer who silently followed behind the first and second air battles in the past, and now she has more perseverance than she has ever had.

"Then I had a little bit of a small injury, and I was probably going to have to walk on crutches until the day after tomorrow." To put it mildly, the injuries to her broken leg bones and damaged organs were in her mouth like peeling an apple and cutting her finger after lunch.

"I thought it would be easy to convince you. Inadvertently chose a very difficult task. I have some views on this air raid that I would like to share with you. ”

The surrounding crew of the Shozuru had already automatically retreated, and Shozuru immediately raised her hand to refuse, she didn't seem to want to listen to Kii's "advice".

"If it's about Sousuke Takayanagi, you don't have to mention it to me. Chief Akagi, who punished him, has long wanted to get rid of Sosuke Takayanagi within our organization. Before you know who the other person is, be careful about your decision. The crimes he committed were enough for him to fall into the hell of Abi forever. ”

"But he can save more people, and I've worked with Sousuke Takayanagi many times, so I know his temperament. Although he is not a good person, he will definitely not be a coward who betrays the empire. Only he can handle the current situation now, so give him a chance. Kii took Shozuru's hand very sincerely and bowed deeply. Since saving him as commander of the 9th Sentai Force, Kii has rarely begged outsiders, especially with the most sincere attitude.

"Let it go!" Xianghe withdrew his hand, his attitude was still resolute, and the solemn expression on his face was a little heavier. "Give him a chance? Give him a chance to gamble with the lives of tens of millions of people? Cruel as he is, a wicked gambler who can do anything! You had been in Kure Harbor before the Pacific War, and you didn't know what was going on outside. Do you know how much he caused to build the battleship Yamato, and the families who lost their sons did not get pensions? And how many civilians and soldiers in Korea, Taiwan, and Manchukuo have become war beasts with a lifespan of only 75 days? He is indeed a rare general in a century, but he is also a demon who has done all kinds of bad things! Use his method? If you are willing to let your soldiers turn into human weapons, they will die with the deep-sea fleet. ”

"You know everything?"

Xianghe saw Ji Yi's panicked expression, and only then did she soothe her tone, she thought that Ji Yi didn't know everything.

"Akagi-sama knows everything, she told me about it before I left. Although she herself did not make a judgment, the kind-hearted Akagi-sama would definitely not agree to the use of suicide weapons, and it was precisely because she hated Sosuke Takayanagi's cruel experiments and methods that Sosuke Takayanagi broke away from our organization. ”

In Xianghe's mind, Akagi is the goal and creed of life, and everything about her is taught by Akagi, and she is given the current identity of Xianghe.

"Well, then, you come and tell me. With the power of this Rabaul anchorage, how can it fight with more than 100 regular airplanes of the Upper Class, as well as countless deep-sea ships? An air raid almost wiped us out. Now is not a way to discuss how everyone can live happily, but to let as many people as possible live and try to win. If we also lose, human civilization will come to an end, and people will hide in the mountains in the future to survive. I never thought that we who had participated in the wars of expansion were good or evil, I just wanted to fight for the Japanese Empire. Our enemies, whether they are Southeast Asian nations, the American Commonwealth, or the deep-sea fleet, can never be internal colleagues. Sacrifice is inevitable, and giving trust to people who can bring miracles. ”

After experiencing battles with great sacrifices, Kii has long since abandoned the idea of saving everyone, even if she is the daughter of the deep sea, and it is simply wishful thinking to try to achieve a perfect ending under the control of the will of the "mother" - the deep sea.

The death of every deep-sea roost represents the death of multiple ship mothers at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and ship mothers have paid enough, really enough......

"You...... Have you been brainwashed by Sousuke Takayanagi or by the little white face of the same bastard next to you? No one can easily decide the lives of others! ”

Kii knows Shohe's ultimate plan, and in order to win reinforcements from Akagi, she will "bravely" fight fiercely with the regular air carrier army, even if she ends up in pieces. "You're not afraid of death?"

Looking at each other, Kii will not take a step back, she recognizes the other party's respect for human life, but she wants to save the lives of the ship girls and the lives of the familiar people around her. "You're not afraid of death. Your eyes are firm enough, and you are no less than any warrior who has fought bloodily in the land of death in the past. But the next battle isn't just for you, it's for our entire IJN Combined Fleet to take on an almost invincible enemy. I won't die, I won't even be hurt when the time comes. Your decision will not affect me and my crew, but your sister Zuihe will also die with you, as well as Miss Yunhe from the Second Voyage Battle, Admiral Taiho of the new Fourth Squadron, and the Flying Eagle sisters from the Third Voyage Battle, etc. For the sake of your personal noble character, about 30 shipwives and thousands of their crew members will be buried at the bottom of the sea to accompany you for your virtue and goodness! ”

-- After watching the ball hit the bottom pocket for a long time, Sosuke Takayanagi finished his coffee and threw the cue onto the pool table. "Don't get too excited. Annoying viewer, I may not be far from dying, but I'm definitely not dying right now. Maybe you're one step ahead of me. ”

The two had never seen each other, and from the very beginning, the two elites of the human race, who had been chosen by the will of the deep sea, never imagined that there were people similar to themselves in the world. The other party is superfluous, an obstacle to interfering with oneself to become the protagonist of the times.

"Then I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance. Whether you're dead or alive, make sure you do your best to be on stage, and as an audience, I'm always picky. ”

After Sato Gonjun finished speaking, he grabbed the cue on the table and unceremoniously hit the last ball with one shot. "By the way, Kii asked me to bring you a message, 'Survive well, the whole world owes you a favor.'"

"She's still so naïve, silly and cute." Sosuke Takayanagi surrendered, but not to the disgusting Sato Gonjun in front of him, but for Kii. "I'm a gambler, so I always bet on the box of the roulette wheel that is most worthy of the highest return. I envy someone who can live happily for someone else. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi had never felt the love of others, and he had been refusing it, so much so that now he didn't understand those superfluous emotions at all. At the age of 24, Sosuke Takayanagi, who was a great accomplishment and faced the biggest challenge in his life, also made his decision.

"I see, I'll be the person in charge of the special attack. As for how much results can be bringed, it depends on the fortune of God. ”

"Kii may not be able to convince Shozuru."

"Don't fool me. Before you came, you believed that Kii could succeed, and just because she is Kii, I am willing to trust her. Sousuke Takayanagi lifted the military jacket on the side and draped it over himself. Get out of here, don't send it. ”

―

"Isn't this Sato Shaosa? Why did you visit my Yamato without anything? Drinking the espresso that can be brewed, Sosuke Takayanagi, who was thinking about it on the billiard table, turned his head.

"Kii has already gone to ask Miss Shozuru. Here's your chance. Speaking of this, Sato Gonjun couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and let out an unpleasant evil laugh in a trill.

"Let's go down, Nodai. Inform Yamato casually, and the next time Sato Shaosa asks to board the ship, he will directly punch into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Noyo looked at Sato Gonjun at a loss, and hurriedly left from the billiard room of the Yamato.

"You're dead, you're dead! I didn't think it was you who could watch the finale in the end. It's a shame! Sato Gonjun has been looking forward to Sosuke Takayanagi's tragic death for a long time, and he never expected that the other party would usher in the last glorious moment of his life at this moment.

One shot will bet
