August 16th. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the ninth team guards the house.

Originally, because of the proximity of the battle, Kii did not have time to meet with the nephew of a writer. But because it was Izumo personally introduced, she had to prepare well and met with Sato Gonjun in an inconspicuous document room.

After Izumo sent the people to the town guard's house, she quickly hitchhiked back to the castle, and although her hull was refitted in Sasebo, she has only remained in Sasebo as a training ship. A strong woman like her would not give lectures and teachings to a group of little kids who have just left the military academy.

It wasn't Kii who walked into the document room, but Sato Gonjun, the second-in-command of the current town guard. As for the reason, just say one, anyway, Izumo left the town guard mansion, so he didn't need to give face to this writer's nephew.

"You're Shigeso Sasaki's nephew? I've also seen some of your uncle's work. He's a brilliant writer. ”

Sato Gonjun deliberately said halfway, sat next to the other party, seemed polite, and asked his subordinates to hand over hot tea.

"Sato Shaoza is too polite, and he is just a literati below. I only learned one point from my uncle's writing, but it is enough to write copywriting. ”

"Sasaki-kun, you're too humble. I read your experience, plus what Izumo said about you. I think our Admiral, Kii, will also agree to you joining the Ninth Sentaination. Sato looked at the young man who was sitting on the sidelines, not squinting, and felt more and more that Izumo was right--a very old-fashioned reader.

If someone with a discerning eye sees that the teacup is porcelain from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty in China, he will definitely follow carefully. But the other party just took the teacup and put it in his hand as usual. is completely unsuspecting, as long as Sato Gonjun deliberately pushes him now, and the teacup falls to the ground and breaks, this loss cannot be compensated by a small person at all.

"Tea, tea. Admiral Kii is on official business, and he will have to wait half an hour before he can come. Seeing that the other party did not speak, Sato Gonjun turned the other party's attention back to the teacup.

But this time, Sasakiji still didn't notice the trap set by Sato Gonjun, just like drinking tea on weekdays, holding it with both hands and taking a sip of tea.

"It's made with tea leaves from Indochina. Don't know if it's to your taste? ”

Sato Gonjun lied again, and the tea used was produced in the Shanghai area of China. Although he was not interested in the "condolences gifts" sent by the chaebol bosses, it was enough to take them out to entertain the guests.

"Personally, I prefer Chinese tea, especially Chinese tea."

After coming and going, Sato Gonjun felt a lot more at ease with this young man, as long as he was not a person like Sosuke Takaliu, he could play with applause, especially since the other party was more pretentious than when he joined the ranks. An extra subordinate who is a little smarter can also save him a lot of worry. Under Sasebo's atmosphere, there are almost no subordinates who can be regarded as diligent.

"Our admiral also likes the Chinese-style decorations, she is a very cultivated lady from the Hiroshima Sanjo family, and she is never stingy in personal taste consumption."

"Oh? Sanjo family? Slightly heard. "Sasakiji has also investigated the background of the ninth team, except for Kii, it is a third-rate team, managing transportation and escort missions. However, since Kii became Admiral, the definition of the Ninth Sentai Force's mission has changed, and with the recent defeat at Midway, Kii, as a battleship with heavy air defense, can be sent to the front line at any time.

"I heard that Lieutenant General Sanjo Masamune had a number of excellent sons, the eldest son was the shareholder of the Hiroshima Daiichi Military Industrial Corporation, the second son was a member of the local council, the third son was the admiral of the Seventh Sento, and the fourth son designed the Kii. Coming from such a distinguished family, Admiral Kii must have been a young general who inherited his father's military talents. ”

The other party praised Kii to the sky, and Sato Gonjun hadn't figured out how to answer. Unexpectedly, Ji Yi ran in with the four little guys in a hurry, "The appointment letter has been issued!" Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi asked our Ninth Sentai to prepare for battle immediately. ”

For a moment, Sato felt that it was actually five destroyers who walked in......

The admiral of the fleet took the letter of appointment of the top secret level of operation, and specially came to consult with the secretary, and I don't know how others would feel when it was passed on.

Kii had no such self-consciousness at all, so she put the letter of appointment in front of Gonjun Sato and opened her mouth -- she did not understand what it meant to "be responsible for reconnoitring the movements of the enemy fleet and directing it in the direction of the main force, and actively providing support and cover when the main force engages the enemy."

"This kind of task is generally the responsibility of the Eighth Sentai Team, and this time you are the flagship, it is likely that Tone made a huge mistake in the Midway operation, which led to a misjudgment of the battle situation, and the bigwigs of the military department were not satisfied with the performance of the Eighth Sentai Team."

Sato Gonjun analyzed the formation information and concisely told Kii what to pay attention to. "Tone and Chikuma were not punished, but the Admiral of the Eighth Sentai was said to have been reprimanded by the Commander's Headquarters for several days and was almost suspended for observation."

Kii didn't seem to be satisfied with Sato's answer, but he didn't discuss it deeply in this matter, "And then with the existing aviation power of our army, can we accomplish the strategic goal?" After the First World War of Midway, the naval battle for air supremacy, our army has always been at a disadvantage. Otherwise, the Commonwealth of America would not have had the opportunity to establish a large base in the Solomon Islands. ”

Aside from the Battle of Savo Island, the Japanese Marines had a ridiculously poor grasp of the situation in the Solomon Islands, and the airfields they had worked so hard to build were taken away by American troops.

"Whether or not we can take air supremacy, it has little to do with our ninth Sentai Sentai in this operation, and this operation Takayanagi Sosuke obviously also took into account the lack of strength in the Fifth Air Battle, and sent three ships to support, Long Xiang, Chiyoda, and Chitose. It's not something we need to think about, so leave it to Commander Tadaichi Hara's old man for a headache. ”

The military order has been issued, and all Kii can do is follow the order, and with Sato Gonjun's analysis, she is relieved to issue a summoning order to the four little guys. Pre-war preparation is also an important part, not to mention that this is the first time that the town guard mansion has gone out to fight with all its staff, even if it is not in danger, it is necessary to be prepared for supplies.

"The telegram didn't say whether the two ships Oi and Beishang were going to fight, how should we deal with it?"

When Ji Yi said this, he realized that there was an outsider present, and even his voice was subconsciously lowered. "Both of them are now equipped with different gears and are classified as classified."

Sato Gonjun thought for a while, but decided to send two ships to participate, because he only said that the level of secrecy was not high, and he didn't need to care about the intentions of the naval headquarters.

"You're the newcomer recommended by Izumo?"

Kii held the top-secret combat mission book in his hand and sat in the seat directly opposite the other party. "He doesn't look like a literati, but like a samurai ronin."

Kii has also been in contact with some people in the literary world, and although most of them maintain kimonos, wear their hair in a bun, and speak in Old Japanese, it is relatively rare for young people like Sasakiji to wear old-fashioned clothes, short hair, and no embellishment.

"Where, Admiral Kii said with a smile. In the next scholar, he can't dance knives and sticks, and he is quite beginner in archery, but he has no power to tie the chicken. Sasakiji said very modestly, and even put the teacup back on the table as soon as possible, and sat upright, for fear of losing the courtesy.

"Then you take up a position in my staff group first, Chief of Staff Nishishi is an experienced old navy, and if you have trouble at work, just look for me and Sato Gonjun."

Without any test or test, he was appointed to the staff group on the ship, and he was also required to have relevant work experience and referrals on the destroyer.

Without giving Sasakiji time to ask questions, Kii kicked the other party out of the lounge.

"It's about to leave the port, you go to the logistics department to get your military uniform and necessities, and then go directly to Chief of Staff Xishi, he is on the ship."

The door locked automatically, and Kii panicked and took out the secret letter written by her father.

"Gonjun Sato, my father gave me other requirements......"

The bigwigs at the Navy headquarters didn't believe the few photos and the speculation of a group of scientists that the black deep-sea fleet must be taken seriously. They felt that it was a suspicious plan made up by the American Federation, and they disdained things that Sosuke Takayanagi, the generals who fought on the front line, believed in. Sanjo Masamune wants Kii to make contact with the Deep Sea Fleet again, and it is better to capture some live objects, and if there are no live samples, it is okay to break them into wreckage and recover them.

Sousuke Takayanagi's attitude was to avoid engaging him, and the other side could not see any hostility towards the Japanese navy for the time being.

"It's not going to be easy to do this time...... I'll think of a way, unless I have to, it's not wise to fight against an unknown force. Sato Gonjun read the secret letter and looked very hesitant.

The secret letter also provided Kii with a small amount of information about the deep-sea fleet, and in the Solomon Seas, submarines of the American Federation found black warships and destroyers cruising sporadically. The source of the intelligence was a spy embedded in the Australian residence of the Commonwealth of America.

"Assuming the intelligence is true, I am concerned that this operation for air supremacy in the Solomon Islands is dangerous." Sato Gonjun knew a lot of things, but he pretended to be worried, so it was enough to deceive Kii. "It would be unbelievable if it was an unknown creature from the deep sea, as the scientists at the Tokyo Research Institute had suspected. The deep-sea monster composed of steel and living creatures completely violates the laws of biological evolution. ”

Kii didn't want to miss this opportunity to help her father, she didn't answer, and she was still waiting for Sato's final judgment.

"Perhaps...... You can give it a try. ”

It's the first time Kii has seen Gonjun Sato have "not sure" written on his face, "Try it?" ”
