Yokosuka Military Port, outside the residence of Sousuke Takayanagi, commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A car stopped at the back door, and the supernatural power in charge of reception appeared instantly, and she had actually been waiting at the back door for a long time according to Sosuke Takayanagi's order.

"Welcome, Admiral Kii."

Although the supernatural powers did not wait to see Sato Gonjun, who was suspected of betrayal, she was still polite to the other person in the car.

Sato Gonjun and Kii stepped out of the car door, and the two, led by the supernatural powers, quickly walked to the secret reception room.

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi is inside." After saying that, Shentong knocked on the door and stood by the door.

It was Yamato who came out, and the current de facto flagship of the Combined Fleet, just for the sake of secrecy, still declared Kii to be the flagship of the Combined Fleet.

Looking at a completely different woman than a year ago, Kii said that it was a lie not to be jealous. Stepping into the reception room, Kii saw Sosuke Takayanagi sitting directly across from the entrance. Except that it has not changed much from the past maturity, it is still cynical, playing with his own military hat. "Long time no see, Kii."

"You and I haven't been going well since we started the war with the Deep Sea Fleet, have we?" Kii didn't show weakness either, and half-jokingly mentioned Sosuke Takayanagi's scar.

Kii didn't understand why the other party wanted to meet him alone, but the opportunity to meet this big gambler who had been quiet for a long time after the Battle of Midway was also rewarding.

Yutachi was buried with his illustrious exploits, but Owari was assassinated in an overseas garrison before he could go to the battlefield and before the hull was fully completed.

"It's not just you and me in this world who don't go well. At the end of November, Australia fell into the hands of the Deep Sea Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet of the American Federation of America was completely gone. ”

Of course, this war report did not spread, and Takayanagi Sosuke and other insiders have been trying their best to block the spread of news since the interception of information.

"The Hawaiian Islands have also fallen, plus the Aleutian Islands...... The Pacific Ocean is separated by a deep-sea fleet? ”

Kii also has a bit of a brain, and combined with the information obtained by his intelligence department, he quickly understood the division of forces in the current Pacific theater.

Anyway, the best option is to hold on to the Solomon Islands first and wait for the deep-sea fleet to crush the American Federation.

"Commander-in-Chief Takayanagi wants me to put forward a defensive proposal at the next strategic meeting?"

Sousuke Takayanagi was very satisfied that Kii was not like some old antiques, and when he heard that the American Federation's armies in the Pacific were all finished, he shouted that he would take the opportunity to destroy the deep-sea fleet and take the Pacific Ocean into the hands of the Japanese Empire itself.

If he really had this ability, Sousuke Takayanagi would not have retreated in a hurry after half of the Battle of Midway. Although it turned out that the enemy's air supremacy was very weak, and there were only light aircraft carriers, at that time, if the deep-sea fleet exerted its strength, the losses of the entire combined fleet could not be small.

"No, it's a gamble at this time. When I was in Midway, there was no benefit in winning the bet, and losing the bet was a complete loss, so I resolutely retreated under the pressure of the Tuyumen Shouga Admiral and others to mutiny. And now, based on the information I have, I can take a gamble. ”

When the word "gambling" is mentioned, Sosuke Takayanagi always seems to be describing some kind of artistic act, like a painter painting a book, a novelist writing a book, or a chef cooking a meal.

"So His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief invited us to be your bargaining chip?" Gonjun Sato, who has not spoken, bluntly said through Sosuke Takayanagi's thoughts. He himself didn't care about annoying the big gamblers in front of him.

"You can't say that, Sato Shaosa. This is a cooperation, and it is impossible for the Navy Headquarters to agree to send Yamato to the front line to fight at the moment, and Kii will still be the main battleship in the next step. ”

The night battle to reinforce the 7th Sentai made Kii famous in the navy again, and was even promoted by the media and newspapers as a "god ship with a hundred shots".

Kii and Sato's intelligence officers at Yokosuka Naval Port have not yet officially started their work, and the two of them don't know what Sousuke Takayanagi wants to do, especially now that the deep-sea fleet is obviously strong, how to fight them?

"The next step is to attack the New Hebrides and cut off the blockade between Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. If this move is successful, either having the army take Australia or attack the Hawaiian Islands north is an option. "Sosuke Takayanagi is only explaining part of his plan, and this part is enough for Kii and Sato Gonjun to think about." By the way, His Majesty the Emperor has already been informed about the appearance of the Deep Sea Fleet. His Majesty the Emperor is also an ambitious politician, and the first thing I asked was whether I could take over the Pacific Ocean in the name of endangering humanity by the deep-sea fleet. Then, without waiting for me to answer him, he himself finalized the royal judgment and demanded that the Combined Fleet, whether it be the American Federation or the mysterious Deep Sea Fleet, be wiped out. ”

In the mouth of Sosuke Takayanagi, His Majesty the Emperor has also become a secular mortal who is as obsessed with victory as he is. Kii can't help this alone, the emperor is a living god of the eternal lineage.

"Your Excellency Takayanagi, you don't respect other people, I don't want to talk too much, but you don't respect His Majesty the Emperor, but you are ashamed of your rank. Your family will be disgraced by it, too! ”

Sato Gonjun didn't say anything to stop it, he came this time to think about finding an opportunity to demonstrate to Sosuke Takayanagi, originally he planned to be a "bad guy" himself, but since Kii himself came forward, as long as the expected effect was achieved, by the way, look at Kii's cute appearance when he was angry. In Izumo's words, he lives like a child who has been robbed of a bear puppet.

It was also the first time that Sousuke Takayanagi and Yamato saw Kii slapping the table and staring, and thanks to their strong adaptability, they almost laughed out loud.

Sure enough, it's still too difficult for Kii to be the battleship girl who is in charge alone.

"Family? Kii, do you value it yourself? Are you here for the Sanjo family? Stop using high-sounding excuses to show your noble character. "Sosuke Takayanagi is the one who knows Kii's original identity, and Ki has also been investigated for taking bribes, and he also knows that Kii and Sato Gonjun have planted an intelligence organization in Yokosuka Military Port, but they don't want to destroy the cooperative relationship, so they don't make it clear.

Not having the heart to continue to spend time with Kii, Sosuke Takayanagi bluntly proposed a "cooperation" treaty. "I have only one request, to sink as much of the enemy ship as possible called 'Battleship Suhime'. In contrast, as a gesture of sincerity, I am giving you all the information I have about the Deep Sea Fleet. ”

After Takayanagi finished speaking, Yamato on the side took out a prepared document bag from the safe. "You could have given this document to your father, but of course I personally recommend that you keep it secret. If the information inside gets out, it will cause a riot. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi took the document bag and put it in Kii's hand. "There's something about you in there, believe it or not. In short, sink the battleship Suhime as much as possible. You must agree to this deal, right? ”

The qualifier used is "as much as possible", and without Sato Gonjun's analysis, Kii understands that it is equivalent to Sosuke Takayanagi sending her information for nothing. It is equivalent to that the cooperation in front of her is not binding on her, and everyone will try to keep it if she earns benefits for nothing.

Just as Kii was about to get the document bag, Sato Gonjun took the lead and picked up the file bag. He said to Sousuke Takayanagi, "What are you gambling on?" ”

"Bet that we will continue to deepen our cooperation rather than meaninglessly suspicion. This time, I have sent you the top-secret information very sincerely. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi pretended to be a good man and got up from his seat. He personally opened the door and made a send-off pose. "While it's still early, why don't I invite you to visit the Yokosuka Naval Port."

"Excuse me," Kii had discussed countermeasures with Gonjun Sato before coming, and Sosuke Takayanagi's so-called invitation to her was nothing more than to tell the other admirals that the two of them were now partners in the same camp. Of course, Kii would not be willing to be at the mercy of Sosuke Takayanagi and serve a big gambler who disrespects the emperor and is full of gambling on the fortune of heaven, and she Kii refuses 200 percent. "I still have to make arrangements for the future New Hebrides battle plan, and I don't have time."

Before the moment to tear his face, since Yamato "took away" her United Fleet flagship vanity, Kii had no intention of cooperating with Sosuke Takayanagi again.

Sending Kii and Sato Gonjun away, Sosuke Takayanagi returned to his normal state of contempt and contempt, and lay on the sofa with Jiro's legs crossed. "Yamato, why do you think even 'Black' is optimistic that Kii can bring victory? In my opinion, it will be a long time before she can be on her own. ”

"Maybe Kii is 'special'. Have you forgotten about Kii's bizarre resurrection? ”

"The ship's mother itself is a thing full of mysteries, and 'black' is likely to know secrets that we don't know, and although the research institute forces of Dean Kitamura are now at our orders, 'black' also has a hand. Dean Kitamura had no idea why the core of the ship could be made out of the birthplace ore of the prototype ship, and the human and the ship were perfectly integrated into a whole. Even the capture of the two prototypes back then was also the direct dispatch of the army by the 'black'. ”

Sousuke Takayanagi enjoyed the gentle force of Yamato's shoulder massage and continued to talk about his ideas. "As long as we help the Imperial Academy to get more information about the ship and the deep-sea fleet, he will be able to improve the combat ability of ordinary people. With the transformed soldiers of the combat effectiveness of the quasi-ship mother, the Japanese empire will be able to dominate the world just around the corner. ”

It was because Sosuke Takayanagi couldn't get used to the secret of 'black' firmly controlling the ship's mother, so he rebelled, and in his opinion, instead of using all of it to build a girl who controls the ship, to improve the strength of the navy. It is better to weaken the effectiveness and turn the entire Japanese army into an invincible "new army" in the form of mass-produced potions. Being able to conquer the Pacific does not mean that we can continue to engage in attrition land warfare with other countries.

"Maybe there's something hidden in 'black' that we don't know about. Since I became a ship girl, I have gained strength beyond the human body, but I also have a different feeling in my training. ”

Yamato was the first battleship with a tonnage of more than 60,000 tons, and from the analysis of the data provided by the Imperial Research Institute, different data were indeed found on Yamato.

"What's different from the past?"

"In training, sometimes you want to really kill your opponent." When Yamato said this, he also remembered the occasional trance state in training, the urge to tear all the people in front of him apart.
