Chapter Twenty-Six: On the Eve of Departure

He didn't have to wait too long, and in the last week of June, he received an order to fight. This time www.biquge.info it was also a large-scale battle for the entire Combined Fleet, and Sosuke Takayanagi allowed the second Sentai to participate in the battle.

In her busy office, Kii marked the latest front-line information on the map, and she couldn't use it as proficiently as Sato Gonjun could do if she saw it.

"This time, even the second team is involved, and Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi probably wants to defeat the deep-sea fleet at once."

After Kii marked the known information, he also felt that the battle around Hawaii would officially determine the outcome of the battle, and the Deep Sea Fleet had set up the Hawaiian Islands as their main maritime joint base, and once they could take this area, the Deep Sea Fleet could only retreat to the west coast of the American Commonwealth mainland.

As a result, almost all of the Pacific Ocean came under the control of the RB Empire.

Sato Gonjun had a different opinion from Kii, so he didn't believe that people like Sosuke Takayanagi would abandon their previous suspicions, and eighty percent of them were unable to participate in the battle between Fuso and the First Air Battle, so he had to let the second team join the battle queue. After all, in addition to Yamashiro and Hyuga, the empire can only use two first-class battleships, Yamato and Kii. It is true that aircraft carriers alone can deal with most enemies, but against individual perches with extremely thick armor, the latest Meteor carrier-based aircraft have proved to be very difficult.

"Our mission is to fight the enemy's main force, Suhime, and I reckon that the other warship squadrons are also under this vague order. There are a lot of deep-sea dwellers in Hawaii. Sousuke Takayanagi had to take all the battleships with him this time. ”

Sato Gonjun always felt that it was too hasty to choose to launch a general offensive in July, and the deep-sea fleet only lost one battleship, Suhime, and the mysterious deep-sea air defense destroyer did not figure out the information. In the event of another encounter with that deep-sea destroyer with anti-air capabilities, the Empire's strongest aircraft carrier fleet will suffer heavy losses.

"Do you think the success rate of this operation is not high?" Kii could see that Sato was thinking, and until she marked all the known information on the map, Sato was still staring at the map in thought.

"If I seek stability, I will choose to fight the Aleutian Islands first, there is only one known Qiji, even if there are enemy reinforcements, relying on the team occupying the Marshall Islands, the enemy will not dare to relax his vigilance."

Kii looked at the map and had some impressions of the sea area where he first went into battle, and Holland Harbor was later reduced to a forward base for the Deep Sea Fleet, and did not become an occupation of the RB Empire.

"But it's freezing there, and it's useless to knock it down. The previous attack on the Aleutian Islands was purely an attempt by the senators of the naval headquarters to create public opinion. ”

"Now we can use this area to test the strength of the deep-sea fleet. However, since Sosuke Takayanagi chose to attack the Hawaiian Islands directly, it is useless for us to analyze more here. "Gonda Sato added several pieces of information to the map." Don't forget the deep-sea fleet on the other side, a fleet of 100 regular air carriers as the core has now blown up half of North America. ”

Sato's army cast a shadow on the eastern side of the Mississippi Plain in North America, "These are the true forces of the Deep Sea Fleet, and they cannot be used in a battle against us." ”

There is no need to compare, all three RBs can be placed in the shaded area. Kii knew a lot about the Daughter of the Deep Sea through Sato Gonjun, and he told her that the Deep Sea Fleet couldn't use the ヲ-class regular air carrier all thanks to Kaga's credit.

"It's too miserable, why doesn't Kaga let the ヲ-level regular air carrier not attack the American Federation? Although the other side is a hostile country, it is too cruel to clean up the land indiscriminately. ”

"Tell you why, and you won't understand. In Kaga's eyes, humans are inferior creatures, and she has never considered the RB Empire or the Yamato Nation. Her values are different from ours. ”

Sato had only heard about Kaga from the will of the deep sea in the past, but the previous chance meeting made Sato realize that he was an incongruous individual between humans and gods.

But it must be admitted that without Kaga on this side, just 100 regular aircraft carriers of the ヲ class are enough to blow up the combined fleet. It was all thanks to Kaga standing on the opposite side of the deep sea, which made it possible for the "game" to continue.

Kii could shout at any time for the glory of the Empire, and in her heart these were all noble glories.

"I'll go and supervise the assembly of the ship's personnel first, and I'll leave the logistics to you to supervise."

Kii suddenly thought of something, and left the office in a hurry, she didn't realize that the level of lying was too low, and deliberately brought a list of people on the ship seriously.

Instead of going to the docks, Kii went straight to the team's warehouse area. Unlike the three little guys, Ki Yi walked helplessly in it, and she wouldn't just run to get more because the quota of snacks was not enough.

“…… Probably in ...... Over here. ”

The military industrial enterprises owned by her eldest brother Sanjo Hidenari also had close ties with her team, and the guns of the officers in the team were not selected by the Sasebo Military Port, but directly handed over to the Hiroshima Daiichi Military Factory to be responsible for production.

For this reason, Kii has set aside a room in the warehouse area to store samples and products sent by the other factory.

As stated in Hidenari Sanjo's letter, Kii easily found a special box in the latest batch of specimens with the name of the Sanjo family on the outside of the box.

A few days ago, Kii was busy supervising the training in the team due to preparations and forgot to pick up the gift. "I don't know what gifts my eldest brother has sent this year."

Kii was angry when she remembered the fountain pen lighter she sent last year, and she thought it was a real fountain pen, but she burned through the document to be signed during the office.

Opening the box, Kii found a booklet from the sawdust with a pencil drawing and a piece of letter paper in it.

「…… I originally wanted to give me a car that I designed and remodeled, but my little ghost is very fond of your aunt and has drawn this pencil drawing like in your photo. So this year, I decided to make this pencil drawing, so if you like it, please accept it......

Perhaps in the eyes of Sanjo Xiucheng, this child's pencil drawing is more precious than a car with refrigeration, and the letter reveals the meaning of "If you don't like it, return it to me".

Kii took a closer look at the pencil drawings drawn by Keitaro, and although they were somewhat abstract, the details of the military uniform were not bad at all. For a child who has not yet entered elementary school, it is already a rare thing to be able to draw this kind of pencil drawing.

"It's not a weird new product this year......

Sanjo Xiucheng is the only person who sends her a birthday gift every year, and according to the convention, the ship's mother will change her birthday to the day of signing the contract, but Kii only doesn't want to change her birthday, anyway, ordinary people are not qualified to see her information, and they won't know that her birthday is still the same as Sanjo Kirin.

Sandwiching the letter paper and pencil drawings in the file bag, Kii pretended to have finished picking the goods and walked out of the warehouse, bumping into the three little ones by the way.

It's the end of the month, and I want to come to them......

"Mayrain didn't come here because the flour and honey used up to make the cake." The daredevil's mother, Mayrain, reacted the most, and she directly told Kii the reason in addition to being frightened.

"May Rain!" Mura Yu had already thought of an excuse to deal with it, but May Rain said everything he shouldn't have said in one go.

Chunyu didn't expect to bump into Kii, so he hid behind Murayu in a panic, not daring to probe.

"You guys...... Eat too many sweets and beware of tooth decay. "Ji Yishi doesn't want his team's destroyer mother to eat sweets uncontrollably and develop bad habits.

"Murayu-chan, will we get tooth decay?" Chunyu asked in a whisper.

"Of course not, we are ship mothers."

Kii directly asked the warehouse management to let him go, anyway, he was about to go to war, and he wouldn't have a chance to eat sweets all day long at sea.

Murayu and Chunyu hurriedly ran to the storeroom where the food was stored, and after Mayyu took a few steps, he turned around and called out to Kii.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Sato said that I have something to look for you, in the office."

After handing over the list to the officers on his ship, Kii reassured himself to admire his mighty hull, which had no incongruous flaws except for wind and rain erosion. The professional damage management team she hired at a large price has never had the opportunity to play her skills, and she has plans to dismiss these professional and technical personnel. However, Sato Gonjun insisted on retaining a professional damage management team, and Kii did not change the positions of these people.

"Well, today's work is done. Just wait for the departure on July 2nd. ”

Kii had planned to go straight back to her residence, but remembered the message from Mayrain, so she returned to the office first. It was already past the end of the day, and when Kii returned to the office building, he could only see a few people still walking around. It was also starting to get dark outside, and in order not to keep his driver from waiting too long, Kii quickened his pace and went straight to his office.

Pushing open the door, as she thought, the civil officials had already left work, and the ninth team still did not have the atmosphere of working overtime, so it was not easy to make these leisurely people work on time and on time.

Sato Gonjun was still thinking about the map, and maybe he also cared about this difficult battle.

"What's wrong? Have a document that I need to read? ”

When Kii walked in, the door to his office was slammed shut by the person behind the door. Before Kii could react, color pieces and ribbons were sprinkled on him.

"Happy Birthday."

Including Kitakami and Oi, the five ship girls smiled and sprinkled the congratulatory props in their hands on Kii.

"Huh? You know ......"

Kii had never celebrated his birthday in front of them, and he didn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays for others in the army, so Kii was very surprised.

"It's nice to celebrate once in a while, isn't Kii?" Kitakami rarely smiled, she probably rarely cared about other people's affairs.

"Kitakamisama certainly has a point. Come to Kii, this cake was made for you by Mayrain. Although it is not as good as my Kitakamisama craftsmanship. ”

Oi dragged Kii to the right side of the office, where there was indeed a cream cake on a table.

"Happy birthday." Gonjun Sato took out a gift box from behind him and stuffed it into Kii's hand. "Even if you are a theatergoer, there are often times when you give gifts to the actors on stage."
