The Ninth Sentai guards the mansion, and Kii is back to her old life of leisurely office, although it won't be too long, but she can stay in Sasebo Naval Port until the next time she needs to fight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Our supply ships have also arrived at the front line, and according to the reports of the personnel I have planted, the Australian occupation is going well."

There were a lot of civil servants walking around the office, but they were busy with their own work, and they didn't have the opportunity to enjoy black tea and read documents like Kii. The report submitted by Sato Gonjun was placed in front of Kii, and the content was not important, and Kii did not want to understand how hard the transport ships under the jurisdiction of the town guard were transporting supplies on the front line.

Kii is more concerned about Australia.

"Sousuke Takayanagi took advantage of the victory in the Battle of the New Hebrides this time to regain the confidence of the naval headquarters in him. Although he readily asked me to return to being the flagship of the Combined Fleet, I always felt uncomfortable. He's still a profiteer, but he can't do anything without me and Nagato. Kii chewed on the cookies and began to complain to Gonjun Sato again. There is very little work in the town guard mansion, and when Kii is leisurely, he will also think about how to deal with Sosuke Takayanagi in the future. "How's the battle going on the Australian side?"

"The landing force had been on land five days earlier, and it was now known that the remaining American Union soldiers were few in number, and did not dare to engage the landing force of the Imperial Army. The attitude of the natives varied greatly, with some welcoming our soldiers to landing, others taking up arms and trying to drive them away. However, this does not affect the progress of the strategy. ”

Sato Gonjun never cared about foreigners, and for him it was all numbers. "According to Sousuke Takayanagi, a month would be enough to completely occupy Australia."

"Australia......" Kii turned the globe on the table with the tip of his pen and pointed it on a piece of land. Is it really useful to have such a large colony? How many people do I need to take over? ”

"Of course, we will not take over all of them, we only need to take over the extraction sites, cities and ports of strategic resources such as oil and coal that are already being developed. The elders of the two major staff headquarters are not fools, they will not annex Australia into the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, as the newspapers say, in fact, they have not even fully occupied China. It is not necessary to occupy them all, and the range that can be controlled is already an acceptable result. ”

Although Sato Gonjun was not interested in the rest of the battlefield, he also paid attention to the changes in the entire Asian theater in order to ensure that he could deal with Kii's problems. Just as he expected, the people in the army staff headquarters had said that they would destroy China in three months, but in the end they were still engaged in a strategy of separatism and rule. The slogan is for others to hear, and profit is the rice that drives the locusts, and the elders of the army can also distinguish the difference between the two.

"You see, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides, the Santa Cruz Islands above, plus Australia below. The entire South Pacific has fallen into the hands of our Imperial Navy. Sousuke Takayanagi's next step will definitely be to attack Hawaii, the base camp of the Deep Sea Fleet. ”

"Can it work? According to the report of the submarine team, has it become a paradise for deep-sea ships? There are deep-sea ships everywhere, the total number is more than ten thousand. "Kii can't imagine that in the face of 10,000 deep-sea ships and multiple deep-sea habitats, even if she fires a ship's cannon to explode the chamber, she can't finish that many ships. It may not be as fast as the production on the other side, and there were less than a thousand ships in Pearl Harbor at the beginning.

The small globe can only provide half the information of the color blocks, and the Solomon Islands and the New Hebrides are very small points in Kii's conquest.

"If you want to fight Hawaii, the best place to attack at the moment is the Ogasawara Islands, and then take Wake Island." Sato Gonjun is completely oblivious to Kii's concern for the South Pacific, which is far from Hawaii, and it is better to set sail from the mainland than from there. "I hope Sousuke Takayanagi has a better way."

"If we face the main force of the deep-sea fleet entrenched in the Hawaiian Islands head-on, do we have a chance of winning?" Kii witnessed the sinking of too many ships in the Battle of Solomon and the Battle of the New Hebrides, especially the sinking of Nagato, and if this news were to be communicated to the people, it would definitely cause a commotion. "In order to sink the battleship Qiji, we have sacrificed too many ships, continue to consume, and how many large-scale naval battles can be organized?"

If the productive forces of the Commonwealth of America on the other side of the country are not a problem in the current level of attrition, there are plenty of shipwives in the Kure Harbor Naval Academy, and what is lacking is ships.

"There is hope to win, the deep-sea fleet cannot use regular air carriers and submarines. In terms of aircraft carriers, our IJN combined fleet has an absolute advantage, and there is also that special aircraft carrier mother. Sousuke Takayanagi will definitely use the aircraft carrier force as the core of the attack on the Hawaiian Islands, as long as ...... He can make the right judgment. Sato Gonjun didn't tell Kii about his chance encounter with Kaga in Hiroshima City, and an important piece of information could be obtained from Kaga's mouth, the aircraft carrier faction almost all belonged to the organization behind Kaga, and now that organization has a disagreement with Takayanagi Sousuke, and it will not necessarily follow Takayanagi Sousuke's strategic plan.

Kii couldn't do Sato Gonjun to analyze the trend of the battle situation with confidence, in her eyes, war is an art that cannot see through the mysteries, and there are too many things to consider.

The phone in the office suddenly rang, interrupting Kii's small talk with Gonjun Sato.

"Admiral Kii, there's a guest visiting, it's someone from the Second Air Force."

Kii didn't remember receiving a notice, so she hurriedly put the teacup and biscuit box on the table into the drawer, "Sato-kun, it should be fine, right?" ”

"What are you worried about? In terms of status, Mr. Ozawa, the commander of the Second Air War, was only a lieutenant general. I guess I'm here to thank you for protecting the Crane. ”

Kii's occasional stupidity still hasn't changed, and Sato Gonjun can't hold back a smile and list the documents that need to be signed in front of Kii as usual.

"Since our Admiral wants to pretend to be working hard, please check these documents. My treatment plan is not necessarily optimal. ”

"Is this it? Old man Ozawa's office is completely incomparable. You are really rich in the town, and you use antique goods as vases. ”

Even with Murayu in charge of guiding the way, Yunhe still arrived at Kii's office quickly. When she noticed that all the civil servants in the office were paying attention to her, she immediately suppressed the compliments and stepped into the room with her head held high.

"The style here is worthy of our strongest level of shipwright, although there are still flaws, but it is already worthy of praise."

There was no one else behind Yunhe, and she was the only one who reassured Ji Yi, and she was not good at dealing with the senior old admiral.

Before Kii could breathe a sigh of relief, a kitten slipped into the office.

"Wait, return my dried squid!"

Later, Mayrain cried and shouted and chased after her, and she tripped and fell to the ground because of her panic.

"Ahh It hurts—"

Mura Yu stepped forward to help Mayyu, who was the same age as herself, and helped her pat the dust on her clothes. "Stay safe, how old are the people......"

Mayrain pouted and walked towards Yunhe, her eyes fixed on the kitten. The kitten slipped in and scurried into Yunhe's arms, looking at the people around him innocently.

"Meow~~"

The kitten Jia Lai stuffed the dried squid that was still half left in her mouth, and continued to meet the angry eyes of May Rain with an innocent face.

“…… was eaten. Yunhe himself didn't see what food Jia Lai was holding in his mouth, and after she hugged Jia Lai, Jia Lai had already stuffed the whole food into her mouth with her little paws. Dried squid? ”

"Eaten...... ...... dropped," Mayrain muttered, tears streaming down. "I'm out of my afternoon snack ......"

Ji Yi was a little speechless, she had originally thought of a set of words to meet, but the appearance of Mayrain made her completely lose the idea of greeting Yunhe seriously.

Sato Gonjun couldn't help it, forced a smile, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and turned his back. "Kii, you deal with it yourself. Take out the majesty of the flagship of the United Fleet. (laughs)"

Kii walked over to Mayrain, took out a pack of cookies from his pocket, and stuffed them into Mayrain. "There are a lot of snacks like dried squid in the warehouse, if you like to eat them, tell me, and I will divide some more into your quota."

Kii was already in a very serious tone, but she wanted to laugh herself, and she cried a lot in front of the guests for a piece of dried squid. Kii rubbed Mayrain's hair, finally stopping her crying. "Murayu, you are the eldest sister, I will leave it to you."

"Understood."

Murayu hurriedly pulled Mayyu out of the office, so as not to laugh out loud in front of the guests.

"Welcome to your visit, I'm Kii, Commander of the Ninth Sentai and Flagship of the Combined Fleet. Please look after me in the future. ”

Kii stretched out his hand and tried to shake hands with Yunhe, but Jialai in Yunhe's arms was faster and rushed down Kii's right hand to Kii.

"Meow~" Jia Lai reluctantly lay on Kii's chest, and his round cat pupils looked at Kii. "Meow~"

"Don't mess around with Jia Lai! Be careful of falling! Yunhe grabbed Jia Lai and put it on the ground. It's not the first time we've met, either. Kii, the last time we met was at a pre-war meeting in Schottland. ”

Sato Gonjun on the side had already bent over with a smile, he originally thought that it was rare enough to have a silly and sweet battleship girl in Kii, but the visiting aircraft carrier girl was a cute girl with a fast mouth, and the fun suddenly doubled.

[What do you mean by being careful of falling......] Kii had the idea of using the damn cat as a soup base for a moment. "This cat is Miss Yunhe's pet? Pretty cute little guy. ”

"It's great that you think like that. It's so clingy that it follows me almost wherever I go, and I can't shake it off for a moment. And it has a bad problem, it likes to lie on its chest, probably spoiled by the previous owner, the flying dragon. ”

Shaking hands with Kii, Yunhe also gave a brief introduction. "The flagship of the Second Air Force, Yunhe. I came here to thank you. ”
