In the same month, the German Panzer Division, one of the Axis powers, had arrived on the Volga, and Stalingrad, the capital of the Soviet Union, was about to face one of the most powerful land steel forces in the world at that time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this newspaper did not please Kii, and the defeat in the Battle of Midway lost the strategic initiative. Although the successive successes have been greatly exaggerated in the country, Kii and other ship girls have become heroes who have made great achievements, and the Japanese army has also landed on the land of the American Federation, but how to win the war with the American Federation in the next step, even the veterans of the Navy Headquarters are under pressure.

According to the information I received from my father's subordinates, there are currently great differences within the Navy Headquarters, and some people question Sousuke Takayanagi's military capabilities, and Nagumo Tadaichi has also been dragged down from the vacant position of "God of War", and if it were not for the lack of aviation power due to the total destruction of the Second Air Battle, the construction of a new aircraft carrier would have been postponed again.

The second Sentai team's Tsuchigomon Moriga also suddenly attacked Sosuke Takayanagi, and the two almost fought in the conference hall of the Navy Headquarters.

On the other hand, the Commonwealth of America is planning to pursue the victory, and it is also rapidly building new aircraft carriers in the country to cope with the powerful air force of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Finally, there was a letter from home, written to her by her father. It mentions that a new type of warship secretly planned and built by Sosuke Takayanagi is about to be completed and launched. Her position as the flagship of the Combined Fleet was lost.

"Admiral Kii, you say that the German Panzer Division will be able to take Stalingrad in a few months?" Gonjun Sato sorted out the materials on the table, and when he saw the international newspaper in front of Kii, he asked a question.

"What's my business?"

The deflated Sato Gonjun poured black tea for Kii, then took away the newspaper, and gave her an obituary. "Wu Gang is about to bury the fallen soldiers of the Second Air Force, and the memorial service of General Yamaguchi and Canglong Feilong are interested in attending?"

"Commander Shiozawa requested?"

"No, it was sent by the people of the first voyage of Kure Harbor."

Kii drank black tea and shook his head, "Don't go." ”

She didn't say why, anyway, she was the biggest in the town guard mansion, and a secretary was not the commander-in-chief of the Sasebo Military Port above. If Yamaguchi hadn't discovered that they had forged documents, he wouldn't have discovered it so quickly.

Seeing that the civilian officials around him didn't pay attention to this, Sato Gonjun leaned into Kii's ear and whispered, "Still thinking about the upcoming construction of a new type of warship?" ”

Kii snorted coldly, turned his chair around his head, and turned his back to Sato Gonjun. "This vanity of the flagship of the United Fleet, whoever loves it will take it. Anyway, I'm the number one hero of the AL battle, have you seen my military medal? ”

Kiyi's originally plain military uniform did have a few gold and silver military medals on it, and many of the overage veterans of the Ninth Sentai also had military merit medals.

"I heard that the name of the ship has been determined to be ......"

"What's it called?"

Sato Gonjun casually threw a bait and let the 45,500-ton battleship take the bait, which was also something he expected. Whoever made Kii have a straight face as soon as he entered the office in the morning, and he ignored everyone. I want to be the same thing as a child being robbed of a toy.

Seeing the expression on the successful expression of Sato Gonjun's plan, Kii, who turned around, immediately became unhappy, "Say it quickly, I know that you used my money to buy eyeliner at Yokosuka Military Port." ”

"Yamato."

With a lot of "special military spending", Sato Gonjun naturally will not buy east and west like Kii, and build the town guard mansion into the highest standard of Sasebo. He had his own prediction that when he had money, he would turn it into more valuable shares in military factories, advanced German weapons and equipment, the hiring of skilled workers, and many "good things" that no money could buy.

Kitakami and Oi were able to get rid of the identity of the captain of the transport brigade, and Sato Gonjun spent money to dredge up the relationship, and won the opportunity for transformation. Kii has no objection to this, she is not good at all in terms of human sophistication, and money will only become more and more luxuries in her hands.

"What should we do?"

Still saying you don't care? Gonjun Sato met Kii's serious eyes, satisfied with the change in his boss. Although he still looks immature, he has a little bit of a general's demeanor and brain.

"As you say, 'What's my business?'. Sousuke Takayanagi didn't want battleships like you or 'Yamato', on the contrary, as an officer who supported aircraft carriers, he would prefer to build more large aircraft carriers. Whether you are or Yamato, what he wants is to win over a large number of people in the navy who have a firm stance on the doctrine of big ships and giant artillery. And we are now his allies, and Tsuchigomon Moriga also wants to seize power, and we need us to support him. ”

Sato Gonjun pondered Kii's ability and added. "In the next step, once Sosuke Takayanagi fails again, the Navy Headquarters will most likely remove him from his post. The empire cannot afford to lose, and the empire is not enough to fight a war of attrition with the American Federation in terms of comprehensive national strength. ”

Oi and Kitakami are about to return to Sasebo Military Port after completing the transformation, and the main transportation and escort work of the 9th Sentai is now reduced to a secondary task. The 9th Sentai Team is now giving priority to supporting the operation with Kii as the core.

"My father said that the next goal for the Navy Headquarters was to take Australia."

Sato Gonjun stared at the map of the South Pacific unfolding on the table for a long time before he replied, "The two aircraft carriers of the First Air War will stay in the harbor for maintenance until this winter. Relying only on the Five Naval Battles of Yuan Tadaichi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely seize air supremacy. ”

Not only is it difficult to seize air supremacy, but the air force of the Imperial Navy is enough to overwhelm the air force of the Imperial Navy with the army aviation force stationed in various military ports in Australia. But if Australia could be captured, the entire South Pacific would be in the possession of the Japanese Empire. Not only Australia, but also the colonies in Southeast Asia can become a strategic resource for security.

Therefore, in the next step, Sousuke Takayanagi will not rush to attack Australia, but seize an archipelago as a forward base first, and supplement the attack on Australia with army aviation forces.

――――

Wu Harbor, a voyage to defend the town. In the intensive care unit.

Nagumo Tadaichi was not in the town guard mansion because he attended the memorial service for the fallen soldiers of the Second Air Battle. The person who walked into the intensive care unit wore a black mask and was dressed in a dark coat with no identification.

"Just keep guard outside." Both sides kicked their subordinates out of the ward. The condolences brought by the black general were placed next to the beds of the two people, all of which were Soviet sustenances.

Akagi's injuries were relatively light, unlike Kaga, whose body was wrapped in gauze, and she was particularly excited when she saw that the person was black. "If it weren't for Sousuke Takayanagi's withdrawal, we would have been able to take Midway. It's all because of him, we paid huge sacrifices in the first and second air battles, but we didn't get anything! ”

Kuro found a chair and sat in the middle of the ward, looking unhurried in the face of Akagi's anger. "Take Midway? Akagi, why do you care so much about an island that is easy to attack and difficult to defend? It is already a great luck in misfortune that you and Kaga can survive this time, although Sosuke Takayanagi is ambitious, he doesn't care about the life and death of others. But this time he made the right decision. ”

"Why?" Half of Kaga's body is still in a plaster cast, and she can only lie obediently on the hospital bed, but her calmness remains the same, and even if anyone who comes, she can't see through the darkness.

"The will of the deep sea has awakened. After the Battle of Midway began, the men of the Will of the Deep Sea decided to mobilize the forces in Pearl Harbor and eat the forces of both sides in one fell swoop. If Sousuke Takayanagi hadn't withdrawn his troops, I'm afraid that many people would have died in the sea. ”

In addition, Holland Harbor has now been reduced to a base for the deep-sea fleet, just like Pearl Harbor, and a new large perch has been born. Spies from the American Federation also came with information that a large number of unknown aircraft carrier groups had been discovered. It is certain that the deep-sea fleet already has a huge force that we cannot imagine. ”

"It has been confirmed that the Enterprise sank for unknown reasons, plus the Yorktown was sunk by the I-168 on the 7th. The Commonwealth of America is actually in worse shape than we are, with only one large aircraft carrier left in the entire Pacific. In the event of an attack by the deep-sea fleet, they are powerless to fight back. ”

The black spent a lot of money to buy more information than the Navy Headquarters got, and both Akagi and Kaga were shocked by these bombshell news. The deep-sea fleet, the black fleet composed of silicon-based steel creatures, is currently known to be more powerful than the number of naval ships in the world combined, and all of them have submersible capabilities, and it is unknown how much is hidden under the deep sea.

"Damn, if it weren't for these ancient species, how could our Imperial Japanese Navy lose at Midway!" Akagi tugged at the sheets angrily, and the corners of his eyes were about to burst into flames. Her rare anger even froze for a moment.

"Calm down. Akagi. It is not known what the purpose of these black monsters was, and they did not even engage in any offensive acts against the Japanese Navy prior to the Battle of Midway. ”

Black's advice, Akagi obviously didn't listen to it, from the streak of victories that went all the way after the start of the war to now lying in a hospital bed to recuperate, it is unacceptable to be replaced by someone else.

Kaga also scoffed, she didn't classify herself as a human anymore, and she didn't take the deep-sea inhabitants below her seriously. "The choice is left to them? Since they intended to entail the Japanese Combined Fleet after the Battle of Midway began, it proved that they were hostile to us again. We must preemptively destroy these eyesore, mass-produced weapons! The words were very imposing, but Kaga's body, which was now held in place by bandages and plasters, was not convincing enough.

Black didn't have much to say about the two members of the organization who didn't listen to the advice, they lost their best friends in the first battle of Midway, and they almost put their lives into it, and it was too unkind to ask for easy access to the shadows. "Well, there's something else to it about. I'm here to make a message. ”

"Who? What to pass? "Akagi and Kaga know that Hei only chooses the most meaningful things to do, and what he wants to say should be very important.

"Sousuke Takayanagi's next step is to seize the Solomon Islands, and then use the Solomon Islands as a springboard to attack Australia. And this battle will obviously be a 'war of attrition'. ”

The so-called attrition is naturally the sacrifice of destroyers and a small number of cruisers, and the exchange of the enemy, as long as the strategic goal is achieved, it does not matter if the battle loss ratio is worse.

"Do you need me to stop him?" Kuro deliberately asked Akagi, who was silent.
