The defeat in the Second Battle of the Solomon Sea once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the naval elders with Sousuke Takayanagi, but it still stayed at verbal blame, after all, the new intelligence showed that the two aircraft carriers of the American Federation were missing, and the attack on Kuah Island was expected to be successful, and it seemed that Sosuke Takayanagi's position was very stable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Longxiang was severely damaged and its design was not sufficient to sustain the use of the new carrier-based aircraft. After Long Xiang himself recovered from his injuries, on 12 September, the officers on the ship, including Long Xiang himself, proposed that all of them be discharged from the army, and the commander of the Fourth Air Force, Genda Daisa, forwarded this "general resignation" to the Navy Headquarters in the presence of Sosuke Takayanagi.

This is the first time that the ship's mother has been discharged from the army, and Sosuke Takayanagi, who has already lost his face in the battle, has a face that is hard to see as if he has eaten Xiang.

Takayanagi Sousuke saw that this was the Navy Headquarters' final warning to him, forcing the shrine maiden of the gods, the ship maiden ordered by Emperor Taisho, to make a meaningless sacrifice, which was enough for them to impeach Takayanagi Sousuke.

Just when Sosuke Takayanagi thought that this was the end of it, another heavyweight document was sent from the staff headquarters. Kii, who had captured a small number of the wreckage of the Abyssal Fleet-class destroyers in previous battles, had already been dissected and studied by the General Staff Headquarters itself through the research institute of the University of Tokyo.

"What do you mean by that?"

The documents clearly state that the active ingredient was extracted from the wreckage of the destroyer of the Deep Sea Fleet, proving that the so-called "イ-class destroyer" is a living creature. However, according to the material analysis, most of the debris is composed of metals, and the non-metal is a protein type that has never been found before, with a very low carbon content, but the presence of silicon elements, and the decomposition product is black grit. Most importantly, the wreckage reacted to the "placer powder" developed by the research institute.

Closing the document, facing the veterans of the Navy Headquarters who had already shown hostility, Sosuke Takayanagi's face did not change.

"When are you ...... Kii, how could she have time ......"

……

On August 23, the day before the Second Battle of the Solomon officially began.

Along with the 9th Sentai Squadron, Fukiyuki and Hatsuyuki were formed under the 11th Destroyer Team of the new First Sentai from Yokosuka Military Port. The main reason is that intelligence shows that the American Federation has dispatched a large number of submarines, and no one can rest assured that they can only rely on the village rain to escort them.

Since sailing into the waters around the Solomon Islands, the fleet has maintained a slow navigation to avoid enemy detection, and its main task is to rely on Kii's reconnaissance planes to complete its main tasks.

To put it bluntly, Kii's battle was the result of a compromise between Sosuke Takayanagi and the Navy Headquarters, and it was a dispensable part. She is in charge of the sea area, and it has little to do with the main battlefield.

"Slow down, Yuli. You're running too fast. ”

Before Murayu could set up his chair, Yutachi rushed from the deck into the captain's room with the snow in tow. This is followed by spring rain and first snow.

"Although Sister Xi Li looks unreliable, she is full of energy every day, which is the source of vitality for our ninth team." Chunyu is still explaining to the guests that a certain poi is running like a rabid dog.

Chu Xue saw that Blowing Snow had already turned her eyes in circles, and she couldn't help but trot over nervously and shook Sister Yi. "Are you alright? Blowing snow sauce. ”

“…… Ahh......hh I also lost the vitality ......" said words of unknown meaning, and Fuyuki was helped up by Hatsuyuki.

Xi Li came in and stared at the basket of blue desserts behind Mura Yu, and it looked like he rushed over to enjoy it in advance.

“poi！”

was knocked on the head, Xi Li let out a cry of pain and hurriedly protected his head.

Sato Gonjun appeared behind Yutachi, and he was always elusive. "Don't bully the guests who come to help, get along with them. And these desserts were treated to the two of them by Admiral Kii, so they couldn't be eaten by all of them. If there is an emergency, Kii will announce it on the radio. While you still have some free time, get to know each other. ”

Mayyu finally arrived because he was lost, and Sato Gonjun saw that the six little ones were all seated in the captain's room, and then he left with confidence. The rest of the things are in the village rain, so he shouldn't have to worry about it.

On deck, Kii was standing at the bow of the ship, looking out over the vast sea.

"It's beautiful. It was my first time in the Solomonic Seas. ”

Sato Gonjun has long seen through everything, and his own admiral is obviously because her brother's fleet has lost partners one after another, and she can't bear to let a few little guys fight on the battlefield.

"But this beauty doesn't belong to us. It's like the sea doesn't belong to man,"

Kii turned around, leaned against the railing, and looked up at the sky. "It's so tiring to calculate others, Kitakami and Oi have already started to act, right?"

"That's right, it was much more convenient for the two ships to participate in the battle if they didn't declare it. In order to beware of you, Sousuke Takayanagi did not hesitate to send his subordinates to keep an eye on you. What did he take us for! ”

……

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi, don't think you're the only one who knows everything. The outcome of your battle that seems to be open to the world is all about the Deep Sea Fleet secretly attacking the American Federation. ”

It was the Minister of the Navy who spoke, and the other party was watching the every move of Sosuke Takayanagi and his secretary Yamato, while Moriga and the four Kongo-class shipwives were not far from his position.

"I also ask Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi to hand over all the information you know about the means of contact with the Deep Sea Fleet. For the sake of the Imperial Japanese Navy's great cause of dominating the Pacific, the Navy Headquarters unanimously decided to try to cooperate with the Deep Sea Fleet. ”

"Hahahaha......", Sosuke Takayanagi stood up laughing, looking at his colleagues around him who were hostile to him, very disdainful. How naïve are you? Working with a deep-sea fleet? They are the enemies of humanity! They have only one purpose, to wipe out all human civilization! Taking advantage of the fact that they regard the American Federation as their primary enemy, it is the king to seize the strategic resources of Southeast Asia as soon as possible. There is not much time left for us, and sooner or later the deep-sea fleet will go to war against Japan. Then you will know how stupid you are! ”

――――

"Sister? What are you doing here? ”

A young soldier was urgently recalled from the front line at a newly established frontline station on Guadalcanal. He was incredulous to learn that it was a family visit, until his superior brought him to the visiting family.

Although she is called an older sister, the girl in the simple sailor suit looks only 16 or 17 years old, and she will be even younger if she dresses up well.

"Hehe, scared, right? Sister, I heard that you were also part of the landing force, so I came to visit you. ”

The young Private First Class Uesaka Hideyori watched his sister take out two boxes of bento boxes and asked him to sit down and chat while eating, and was embarrassed.

"Sister, my comrades-in-arms are still fighting on the front line, I don't have the heart to eat with you, please forgive me."

Uesaka Momoba, who is also blowing snow, beckoned to his younger brother's superiors who were standing outside the house.

"What else does Lady Blowing Snow command?" The other party is only a second lieutenant, and Fuyuki, as a destroyer, has a status several levels higher than the other party.

Fuyuki stepped forward and said, "My brother needs a day off, it's okay, right?" ”

"Sister, what are you talking about? I don't need to rest, now I can return to the front line to fight the American enemy! ”

The other party didn't listen to Hideyori Uesaka's petition at all, and agreed to Fukiyuki's request on the spot, and then left in front of Fukiyuki's eyes.

"Sister!"

Fukiyuki smiled and put the bento in his brother's hand, and pulled him to his side to sit down.

"Try it, I didn't have any fresh ingredients on the boat, so I made this bento with the semi-finished products I could find."

The landing assault force where Hideyori Uesaka was located was very short of supplies, and many people were compressed biscuits and rained water to cope with their stomachs, and occasionally ate some rusks and prunes.

"Sister, my comrades-in-arms can't even eat a full stomach these days, let alone eat white rice, and meat and vegetables are even more extravagant. I can't eat it. ”

Fuyuki holds the rice grains between the chopsticks and chews while listening, and seems to have a good appetite. "Wouldn't it? My Admiral, the Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet, had clearly arranged for the landing force to be supplied and transported in the battle plan. There are medicines, cotton clothes, water, food, ......"

Blowing Snow counted the supplies she knew, not caring if she had seen them or not.

As soon as Hideyori Uesaka landed on the beach, his commander told him that he should use ammunition and food sparingly, and that the most important thing was to overcome difficulties and complete the task of seizing the island with a strong bushido spirit. "These things are also a drop in the bucket, and most people have to save the materials they have on hand."

"Really?" Blowing Snow couldn't believe it, and after repeated questioning, he was convinced that the supply transportation had not been implemented at all.

"Don't worry, I'll report the situation to Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi when I go back, how can I fight without supplies. It must be the troops in charge of logistics who are passively slacking off their work, and they must do a good job of rectifying the scum in the navy. ”

Fuyuki stuffed the lunch box back into his brother's hand again, "Don't talk about these little things, let's continue to eat." After eating, my sister took you to my ship, and I prepared a cream cake for you. Speaking of cakes, my sister asked Team Ninth to make a special one. ”

Blowing Snow came specially this time to celebrate his brother's birthday. When she saw the hotel-level kitchen on the Kii, she brought Hatsuyuki to make a cake together. Kii also gave a small Xiaoice cabinet to Fukiyuki to keep the cake.

Hideyori Uesaka put down the bento and tried to leave with some anger, but was pulled by Fukiyuki's clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! Sister, this is the battlefield! Please don't embarrass me again! I'm not a kid who hasn't grown up, but a private in the Imperial Marines! I'm going back to the front lines to fight now! ”

Breaking free from the pull of the blowing snow, Hideyori Uesaka ignored the latter's shouts and left angrily.

Fuyuki didn't expect her brother to refuse her kindness, and she didn't even take a bite of the bento she made. In desperation, Fuyuki finished her lunch and radioed her crew to pick her up tomorrow. Fuyuki wants to calm down alone, and she has never been rejected by her brother. Obviously, every year on her birthday in the past, she gave her brother a cake, and his brother could eat it happily. And this year, Fuyuki tried her best to get the supernatural powers to allow her to participate in the bombardment of Guadalcanal, and finally made a cake that was kept in an expensive freezer until now. Her brother went straight back.

Blowing Snow didn't understand what went wrong, obviously her arrangement was very good, and she also helped her brother take a day off. Is it wrong for my sister to celebrate her brother's birthday?
