Kii and Sato returned to Shotran Harbor in a diving suite, but the diving hime herself did not tell Kiido that it had fulfilled Kii's previous orders, and that the two opposing daughters of the deep were of the same priority, and it could not and did not want to get involved. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Kii can also guess that the diving suhime will definitely stay on that uninhabited island, continuing its mission, and when the balance of authority is once again unbalanced, it will obey the surviving daughter of the deep sea.

"Although you think that you have only made an agreement with me, I still want to thank you." Kii began to speak at the end, even if the other party didn't appreciate it.

Diving Suhime looked back at Kii, and slowly dived into the water. "I want you to be my new master, but I can't guess what the end result will be. Kii, I've reinstated the ban on submarine attacks, so rest assured, at least you won't have to face killers from underwater. ”

"Goodbye! Goodbye......"

Kii had a hunch that she might never have the chance to meet this ancient perch who was born thousands of years ago in the future, after all, she was going to face a new deep-sea fleet that had lifted many sealing technologies, as well as the central perch.

The odds are pretty low......

"Congratulations, there's probably a lot of stuff piled up in our absence. Kii, let's hurry up ......"

"Spring Rain is also dead? And Miss Nake from the first team. Answer me. ”

Gonjun Sato tried his best to provide Kii with the most secure environment before she found out, but for Kii now, the child-like trick no longer works.

"A lot has happened since the forward base was moved back to the Solomon Islands from the Marshall Islands. Although it is now ...... "Kii understands the difference between what a deep-sea submarine can attack and what it cannot, and it is approximate to represent victory or defeat."

"That's right, it's not just those two, but Miss Shimafeng who took me to Nameless Island doesn't know if she came back safely. Armageddon, which was expected to be an easy to deal with...... It was given up a long time ago, and as you can see, it was changed to a strategic retreat, after paying the sacrifices of many ship mothers. The only thing worth boasting about is probably that the air carrier mobile force led by Dafeng blew up and sank Minato Qihime. ”

"Sinking the harbor and the rest of the battle can be regarded as the best one, and it was really a mess when I was away."

The changes that began with Kii's disappearance came to an end with Kii's safe return, and for Akagi, who was in the mainland, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, although this time Sosuke Takayanagi obeyed her request only because the other party also felt that it was better to retreat temporarily.

On September 27, the third day of Kii's appearance in Shotranberdi.

Kyoto, the Emperor's Imperial Palace.

"You tell me the truth, why did Miss Kaga ......"

Hirohito's rebuke was directly interrupted by another person with a vicious look, and probably Hirohito had never seen the other party's expression outside of leisurely eating dumplings.

After taking half a minute to calm down, Akagi handed a document to Hirohito. "This is a survey sent back by my subordinates in Shanghai, China. Kaga was assassinated while on vacation in Shanghai, China. The perpetrator can conclude that it is Chinese and ......"

Akagi paused, as the document she wrote to Hirohito didn't include it.

"Won't you tell me?"

"It doesn't matter if you tell you, it's the hand of an apprentice she trained in China. At present, the status of disappearance is basically determined. My subordinates are all human beings, and I'm very satisfied to be able to find out this. Akagi closed his eyes slightly and took a bite of the glutinous rice cake. The skill of the imperial chef is far worse than that of Kaga. ”

"So what are you going to do next?" The creator of the war, Miss Akagi. ”

"Are you blaming me? War is inevitable, and more importantly, even if it does not engage the deep-sea fleet now, it cannot be avoided in the future. They are the enemies that you humans have brought in, and if humanity had not caused wars, there would be no deep-sea fleets. Unfortunately, I can't go back to the moment when two groups of apes fought with spears and clubs. If you want to try me in court on this charge, I will reject everything else on this ground. ”

Akagi's mood is very bad, not only Kaga's death, but the reversal of the battle situation is also the reason why she almost drove her crazy, but fortunately Kii is back.

Hirohito shook his head and said that he did not blame Akagi for this. "I want to ask, you promised that this war would be won, but now it seems to be far from what you said."

"North Korea, China, Philippines, Myanmar...... The whole of Southeast Asia and even the American Federation across the Sea, I have won for you. Your enemies have all been defeated and their chains are bound to rise again, and now it's the nation's turn to fight to bring down my enemies. Whether you or your people want it or not, if you choose to die all of them, I am wrong about this country. ”

"This kingdom, blessed by eight million gods, will not lead to a lost war, I only have this one promise. To tell you the truth, as soon as Kaga died, my confidence in you has dropped by two notches. ”

"The responsibility is not on me! It is you humans who have made a big mistake! Someone was stupid enough to kill Kaga! Bastard! For the sake of personal revenge, the whole world now wants to bury the perpetrator. It's all your human fault! War is the ultimate ugliness of your human selfishness when it is magnified! The situation of winning is collapsed because of an idiot! Akagi raised her hand and slammed the plate in her hand and got up from her seat angrily, even though she was dressed like a government civil servant today, she couldn't hide her out-of-control emotions.

"What then? It's your responsibility, right? The situation is already like this, and it is facing a group of monsters that cannot be reconciled. I think it would be better to simply mediate after losing the Battle of Midway, which would certainly cool the Deep Sea Fleet's fanatical desire to try to fight. ”

"Less than 20 years of comfort for a hard-won victory? Are you worthy of the dragons and wyverns sleeping in the waters around Midway? ”

"Then are you worthy of those women who become ship mothers? There are a few people like you and me who bear the responsibility of sin in this world, and most people should not die for us. Originally, they had their own happy life, and when Mrs. Wyvern and Mr. Yamaguchi got married, I also sent someone to send a blessing letter privately, knowing that the ship's mother could not have a child, and at the same time writing the blessing words of 'having a healthy baby as soon as possible'. I also really admire my own acting skills. Hirohito said this, and his tone softened, it is true that the pastries made by the imperial chef are too far from those made by Kaga, and he may not see Akagi when he is angry in his life.

Putting the half-eaten cake back on the table, Hirohito wiped the dregs from his mouth. "Say, what's next? I'm going to do something, for the sake of the victory you described. ”

"Kii is back, and the enemy's submarine will be back to its original state again. Then ......"

"Except for this good news, people don't want to hear anything else, right?"

Hirohito also has his own channels for obtaining information, and the deep-sea fleet on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is moving closer to this side, and probably many ships have been transferred here.

"I still have cards in my hand, and it's not time to throw in the towel. I will go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and fight the deep sea fleet on the front line. Kii's return proves that there is still hope for us. My only personal request for you is simple, even simpler than before. Akagi smiled slightly and said her request, "Before the establishment of the Navy Command Department, please don't do anything and wait and see what happens." ”

"Understood." Hirohito understood Akagi's thoughts, and probably the sky in Tokyo was about to change again.

"There's one more thing...... Akagi hesitated to bring up another matter before Hirohito wanted to leave his seat. My Admiral, General Nagumo, passed away last night. The First Air War is finally over...... Until yesterday, the man had fought hard and hard for what he had promised. Until yesterday......"

"Condolences. Posthumously conferring the rank of General Nagumo and other honors, I will send someone to do it at any time if needed. But with all due respect, he was indeed very powerful when he was young, but that doesn't mean that he can continue to play the god-like admiral next to you when he is older. After all, he's human and you're a ship's mother, and you're still in your fifties like when you graduated from the academy, but we're already gray-haired. Akagi, you're too paranoid! ”

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! I believe he can command the fleet again, once again......" Akagi shed tears, she herself had long been aware, but because of love, she still tried to continue to play the "game" of Admiral and Ship's Mother with Nagumo Tadaichi.

"He can't, if you hadn't asked for it, you think that an officer with a background in mine warfare would have the opportunity to take charge of the air carrier fleet. It's all your own personal satisfaction. In your eyes, all humans except Nagumo Tadaichi are garbage? Idiot? What gets in the way of your victory? But I can tell you that you can do nothing but do what we humans can't! "Hirohito can be regarded as venting his complaints about Akagi, no one is perfect, and the same is true of the ship's mother, even if it is a special ship's mother who can foresee the future and has knowledge of almost all mankind.

For Akagi, the change in the chess game has approached the last line of defense in her heart, and it seems that Kii has pulled it back, but when the opponent takes a chess piece to her side, she once again makes an impulsive choice. This time she personally commanded the entire fleet.
