June 28, 1942. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYokosuka Military Port, the new 4th Sentai Town Guard.

Although the ships of the members of the squadron had long been anchored in Yokosuka, the four heavy cruisers did not report to the town guard until the Battle of Midway began.

The town guard mansion is as busy as ever, and the hulls of Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers are all being replaced with new 20.3cm main guns. It was a good thing, but the four heavy cruisers didn't smile on their faces, or they hadn't smiled since they came to the new site of the town guard.

“…… Multiple recruits standing guard and dereliction of duty? Do you still have to report such a trivial matter to me for approval? Take the lead and shoot me directly! Others will be punished according to the severity of the degree, and if they are disobedient, they will all be removed from their posts and sent to Manchukuo as laborers! ”

"Embezzlement among the staff officers of the Logistics Department? The garrison all eats rice? Directly arrest them all and interrogate them! If the circumstances are serious, it shall be handled by the supervision department. ”

"Kasumi reprimanded the crew in public, causing the crew to jump into the sea......"

Reading the documents that are getting more and more outrageous day by day, Shen Ming Qiuhe inexplicably wants to pick up the pen holder on the table and smash it on the heads of this group of useless civil officials.

"A bunch of rice buckets! Pass the order, and in the future, such matters will be dealt with by themselves, and those who repeatedly violate military discipline will be severely punished! ”

"Admiral Shenming, Naxia's punishment ......"

Shenming Qiuhe took a few steps forward, grabbed the belly of the other party's clothes, pushed hard, and strengthened with the strength of the quasi-ship girl, and slammed a tall man of one meter eight to the ground. "Punishment? Don't be a fool for me, a second-class sailor is picky about food and scolded, that's light! I was on the spot and sent him down for a seafood feast! ”

It's not that the Navy Headquarters deliberately embarrassed this Admiral from the Army, it's just that most of the members of the original Fourth Combat Team were scattered and sent to other units, leaving only an empty shell for Shenming Qiuhe. Now almost all the soldiers in the fourth team are new recruits, because of the great demand, they cannot be selected like other teams, as long as they come to join the army, they are accepted. Replaced by the army, this kind of cannon fodder army with the strength of the C division, is directly sent to Southeast Asia or China, and it doesn't matter if it harms the people over there.

"Kako, come here."

As the secretary of Fukamei Qiuhe, Kanda Yoshiko now has the rank of lieutenant, and after several years of training, she has handled large and small affairs in a good way, plus Fukamei Qiuhe has a good impression of this "comrade-in-arms' widow" who is a head taller than herself, and takes care of her in all aspects.

"Yes, Admiral Shenming. What are the instructions? "Kanda Yoshiko has also become a reserve for the ship's mother.,The Shenming family, as a local wealthy family.,It's easy to want two ship-girl places.。 What's more, it has become an unspoken rule for the big family to appoint young women in the clan to serve as the mother of a large ship.

The Deep Crane returned to his seat, maintaining his majesty as an admiral. "Notify the technical department to speed up the progress, and if it can't be done, we will first concentrate personnel to transform Chokai and Maya."

The four Kaohsiung sisters now sit in a corner of the office every day, like four stone statues, expressionlessly waiting for the order of the deep autumn crane.

Maya and Chokai would occasionally talk to civil officials and facilitate communication. Atago and Kaohsiung almost never spoke, especially Kaohsiung, who became distracted since he left the prison of the research institute, and sometimes even when her sister talked to her, she was slow to respond.

Fukatsuru didn't know what the madmen of the institute had done to them, and what the former admiral Major General Kondo had to do with them. She only hopes that the four ship girls can be like normal people, but this kind of extravagant hope seems to be a bit difficult to achieve.

In this way, in the evening, Fukamei Qiuhe and Kanda Yoshiko returned to their residence by special car alone, and the four Kaohsiung sisters moved their bodies and walked to the dormitory building in the town guard mansion.

"Sister Shenming, they have been like this for a month in Kaohsiung. Those who didn't know it thought they were sent from a psychiatric hospital. "Yoshiko Kanda has a lot of opinions about the four Kaohsiung sisters, and it is an extremely difficult task to rebuild the fourth team, and if they contribute, it will not be possible for the whole team to have all kinds of small things one after another.

The driver was the one brought by Shen Ming Qiuhe, so she spoke freely. "In the mutiny at the beginning of the year, the Fourth Brigade was a direct participant, and the four Kaohsiung sisters were convicted of rebellion for killing members of Congress. It is said that he was held in a special cell at the Imperial Research Institute. For these rebellious agents, I don't feel at ease to let them take control of the troops. ”

"But how can there be a ship's mother who sits in the office every day and doesn't do anything."

Shen Ming Qiuhe obviously had a headache about this, but it wasn't words that could change the four Kaohsiung sisters, she shook her head and complained a few words, and then stopped talking.

The convoy did not drive to the accommodation area as usual, but drove directly out of the military port, stopping all the way to a wine house.

At this time, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and many officers in the military port appeared one after another. In Japan, where the class system is clearly divided, even the sake houses outside the military port are divided into three, six, nine and so on. The house where Shenming Qiuhe came is obviously a high-grade one, and he can't afford to drink the sake here without some money.

"May I ask how many guest officers want to sit outside or inside?"

There was no need for the deep autumn crane to speak, and the accompanying bodyguards booked a place. Fukamei Akizuru and Yoshiko Kanda went to a private room alone, and the rest of them settled in the private room next door.

Shenming Qiuhe fell in love with drinking when she returned to China, don't look at her looking like a middle school girl, her bodyguards can't bear it when she drinks alcohol.

Listening to the babbling ancient style and music, the two sat at the low table, and they didn't have a difference. In ancient Japan, the two were like the relationship between a daimyo and a retainer. Fukamei Akizuru can only weaken her suspicious temper that does not match her appearance when she drinks, and she also likes to tell Kanda Yoshiko about her past. The pearl of the Fukaru family's palm is only at this time when she talks about popular movie male stars like a woman in her 20s.

"Speaking of which, Kako has been in Yokosuka for three and a half years. Are you still planning to become a ship girl with me? ”

"Look at what Sister Qiuhe said, how can there be any such thing as regretting or not repenting. It is a blessing for me to have the opportunity to serve my country. My father has a spirit in heaven and will support me. ”

Recalling Kanda Yoshiko's father, Fukamei Akizuru never told anyone about the last part of the battle between the two, only saying that when he was about to walk out of the dense forest, a group of Shina soldiers were killed on the opposite side, and due to the sudden incident and the enemy's firepower was several times that of his own. Everyone, including Yoshiko's father, died in battle.

Although Yoshiko Kanda originally had the idea of avenging her father on the Chinese battlefield, she thought of the kindness of Fukamei Akizuru, and rushed to Yokosuka Military Port to take up her post.

"My father was a warm-hearted man, for as long as I can remember, my father has always been involved in the difficulties of the neighborhood, although he is often away from home, but there are neighbors to take care of me, and my childhood is not lonely."

The two chatted and drank wine, which can be regarded as a relaxation after daily tedious work. Inside the military port, there are no entertainment facilities, and even wine is a controlled product, so even if you can drink it on weekdays, it is not emotional.

"That's right, Yoshiko. You went to the event with your junior high school classmates...... What's it called? After the wine came up, Shen Ming Qiuhe held his head in one hand and asked the other party about other things.

"Women's Stand Up."

"yes, I still don't get it. What a force is that. When I joined the 6th Division, I had never heard of such a female unit in the logistics department. Although Fukamei Akitsuru withdrew from the Sixth Division, General Tani Shou, the commander of her corps, as her teacher, still maintained correspondence with her. She didn't have a good impression of her cheap teacher, but the other party was very optimistic about Shen Ming Qiuhe, and encouraged her from time to time that even if she became a naval admiral, she should not forget the fine traditions of the army and avoid being contaminated with the navy's arrogance and lasciviousness.

Yoshiko Kanda suddenly froze, wanting to say but didn't say it.

"I've been in contact with them, and they're now playing for their country in northern China. Since he was not on the front line, there were no worries about his life. ”

Yoshiko Kanda is telling the truth, but judging from her expression, it seems that she is hiding something. "Let's not talk about the trivialities of the past, it's gone anyway. Sister Qiuhe has a headache with those four ship girls, right? ”

Kanda Yoshiko is of course referring to the four Kaohsiung-class ship girls, as the core of the team, they can't bear to fight, scold the hurt and righteousness, and let it go, the new fourth team will continue to look decadent.

"What's your idea?"

"The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, we dealt with Kaohsiung, and the rest of the people are relatively easy to deal with."

Having said that, Kaohsiung is the most dangerous of the four sisters, always staring at the invisible air like a psychopath, occasionally talking to herself, sometimes hiding in her room on holidays, or the aunt in charge of the dormitory to report that she has not eaten for many days, worried that something will happen.

"Their hearts are tied to Major General Kondo, who was 'killed in battle'. It's really sad that for the sake of a mutiny loser, he became like this. ”

Shenming Qiuhe tasted the appetizers, and the chicken steak in it tasted good, only worse than the roast chicken she ate when she was in Nanjing.

Just then, a young soldier opened the paper door and rushed in. He saw that there were only two young female officers inside, and even one of them automatically ignored the rank of Osa, and threw himself at Yoshiko Kanda with a wine bottle.

"Drinking...... Come and have a drink with me. ”

Facing the strange man who inexplicably broke in, the two were stunned at the same time, and when the other party pounced, Kanda Yoshiko hurriedly retreated and protected in front of Shenming Qiuhe.

"You...... Who are you! Who allowed you in! ”

Hearing the commotion here, the bodyguard group who was drinking on the side immediately rushed over, and saw an unknown man lying on the tatami mat and drinking crazy, so he immediately stepped forward and arrested the other party and scolded him while beating and scolding.

"Stop, stop hitting him. Kill someone, who do we ask? ”

Shenming Qiuhe was very curious about the identity of this intruder, it was the first time she had encountered such a rude man in China, so she hurriedly shouted to stop her subordinates.

The bodyguard searched for the soldier's card from the other party's body, and the other party's Marine Corps soldier who was employed at the Yokosuka Military Port had the rank of Juncao.

If it were someone else, he could guess that the other party was drunk and went to the wrong place at this time, but the suspicious Fukaming Qiuhe did not agree with the bodyguards' suggestion. Instead, she decided to put this impudent soldier named Komatsu Seki Huo in the cell of her own team, and she recognized that someone in the navy was against her, and first sent a drunkard to disgust herself, and she had to be interrogated severely.
