The good news of the victory soon spread to Kii, who was recuperating, and the Shin-Akagi created a brilliant record of sinking 20 deep-sea ヲ-class regular air carriers with a single ship, and 6 aircraft carriers equipped with mothers almost completely wiped out the enemy's air carrier fleet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was supposed to be something to cheer about, but Kii just read the general outline of the information and turned his gaze to the first air carrier Akagi, who was sitting in front of him.

"Judging by your expression, it looks like we've failed." Kii was not wearing a military uniform, but stayed in the town guard mansion in Maizuru Port in civilian clothes, and she didn't bother to change her formal clothes when Akagi came to the door.

"All dead...... I and other pilots of the aircraft carrier lost more than 400 people in an air battle. The deep-sea fleet deliberately replaced carrier-based aircraft with fighters before the war, and from the beginning it did not intend to attack us. It can use more than 60 regular air carriers of the ヲ class as bait, and install air defense habitats and many air defense cruisers to escort them. ”

Akagi also had a bad face, and her beautiful black hair was as dull as her mood. "Sousuke Takayanagi and Yamato died on another front, you haven't gotten this information yet, have you? I've already ordered the news to be blocked. ”

Without Sato Gonjun to run the town, Kii could get much less resources than before, and she really didn't know the details of the Philippine naval battle to this day, only that Maya and Tokai in her team had not returned.

"Nagato is dead, and Daho is dead. Now Sousuke Takayanagi and Yamato have also died in battle, you came to inform me this time? That's a peace of mind, in the previous Battle of Rabaul, I attacked the center with the idea of ending up together, and she also broke into my hull and killed my secretary. I'm going to kill her absolutely, absolutely!! ”

Kii, who was lost, suddenly became emotional, and his eyes, which were already blood-red, were about to drip blood.

"Restrain your anger, Kii. Don't let hatred take away your sanity. You weren't the same in the past. "Akagi isn't afraid that Kii will get out of control, but she doesn't want to lose another pawn that can be the main force now." I've lost most of my most trusted pilots, and now half of the pilots on my ships haven't learned to fly jets. This war has left us all too much to lose. ”

"That's your business! I only care about mine. Kii glared at Akagi angrily, and the chair was crushed by her and made a snapping sound. Gonjun Sato is more important to me than anyone else! ”

"When I lost Kaga, I didn't spend all my days recuperating like you. If you don't want to lose more people, get ready for the next battle. Akagi originally wanted to take advantage of the loss of the deep-sea fleet and pursue it while it was victorious, but at present, it was not possible to form a fleet capable of counterattacking, and the deep sea did not move the forward base to the Philippines, but abandoned the entire Philippine region damaged by the war and continued to entrench itself in the Pacific Ocean.

The central ship, or the Deep Sea Fleet, has no interest in turf, especially on land where there are no troops to garrison it for the time being.

"There are only Haruna, Hinata, Ise and I left with the battleships, and there are only six air carriers, even if they are all the most elite ships, under the non-stop war of attrition, no one can win the deep-sea fleet. I just want to die with the central perch, and I don't have a chance. Kii calmed down a little, there seemed to be a kind of magic in Akagi, especially her language, which inadvertently made people willing to listen.

"There are still methods, more Daho-class air carriers are being produced, carrier-based aircraft are manufactured at full capacity by companies such as Nakajima and Aichi, and pilots are drawn from the army. Don't be surprised, my military and political abilities are more extensive than you know. ”

Akagi hasn't given up yet, and she has also lost a lot of important people, almost to the point of having nothing, but she hasn't thought of giving up in the slightest. She can't, a simple surrender means that her more than 50 years of hard work in this world have all come to naught, and she can't achieve the victory she declared. With the ship girl and a little technological advantage, the Japanese Empire can defeat any country in the World War II dungeon, and she has proven it, and all that remains is to defeat the deep-sea fleet. She can then proudly declare her victory and elevate it to the possibility of divine approval.

"Can you really win with these things? If you build 1 Dafeng-class carrier, the deep-sea fleet can build at least 30 regular carriers. If we continue to fight, we will all die in battle, and humanity will be cut off from civilization under the brutal slaughter of the deep sea fleet, and we will hide inland. War is created by human beings, but human beings are not connoisseurs of war. The Deep Sea Fleet has shown us what an invincible fleet looks like. ”

"So you're going to give up? Kii? To give up is to die. There is no word for "surrender" in the deep sea, and if there is, please say it in the language of the deep sea. ”

Akagi's words left Kii speechless, many ship girls retired after the ship's hull was damaged and no longer participated in this war, Kii was easier to retreat with her character, she didn't have it precisely because she knew that this war was inevitable and could not be retreated. It's so unfair to fight the gods, to be toyed with in the palm of your hand, and to struggle with all your might.

"There is no concept of surrender in the deep sea. There is only the truth that the strong become stronger and the weak are extinguished. ”

"Aren't we strong enough? You see, with our strength, humanity cannot fight against us. Isn't that enough? "Akagi did not directly oppose Sosuke Takayanagi's use of reinforcements for the whole reason, human soldiers have no use in the battle with the deep sea, and the number of ship girls is scarce, and acquiescing to the sacrifice of some people to consume the deep sea fleet is a concession that has to be made.

"Competing with the deep-sea fleet for power was wrong from the start. I don't know why you're obsessed with victory, but since you lost Kaga, we've all lost the power to stand up to the deep-sea fleet. Following the laws of the deep-sea fleet, can we win? ”

Kii is fed up with battles that are so cruel that everyone has to die, and in comparison, the war with humans has some meaning to exist. Only those who are strong enough to be qualified to conquer the world by force, and it is precisely in this principle that the deep-sea fleet is waging war against human civilization. From the very beginning, they didn't care about the division between good and evil among humans. And the IJN, which has the strongest fleet, is only slightly better than the deep-sea fleet in a few indicators, and it has evolved into a brutal war of attrition, and it is falling into the arms of the deep-sea fleet, and they are so strong that they can die casually. Soldiers are cannon fodder that can be mass-produced if they have resources, and they don't need combat experience. The Deep Sea Habitat in command, who directly extracts the combination from the dead of the enemy, is also a reflection of low cost and high efficiency.

"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. I just want to win. Win my way. Akagi was stunned, and he seemed extremely firm, and no one could shake the obsession she had brought from the moment she came to this world.

The obsession imprinted on Akagi's soul is like a curse, and this gentle and virtuous Yamato Nadeshiko, after more than 50 years of baptism, still can't forget the ridiculous duel he launched against the gods in the first place. Even if he loses nothing, Akagi will not back down half a step.

"But what are our chances? Or what else can be sacrificed? To continue this war where there is nothing but death and resentment? As long as the central suki does not die, the deep-sea fleet will be produced in a steady stream. ”

Kii's personal grudges are focused on the central sushime, and there is no contradiction in her statement, for her, there is only one mortal enemy left in this war - the central susher. If she survives, she can easily use her authority to abolish the entire deep-sea fleet.

Both know what the Deep Sea Fleet is, but both can be replaced with one-sided concepts, and Akagi is replaced with a god's creation that will disappear if you win the battle in the Pacific Ocean. It is also reasonable, as long as she wins the game and the game is over, it is true that the deep-sea fleet will lose its meaning of existence and will be swept into the grave of oblivion by God.

But only these two, and none of the other people or ship girls who can still exist on the chessboard can refer to the Deep Sea Fleet as other concepts one-sidedly, so none of them can defeat the Deep Sea Fleet. As Kaga once taught her "students", if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first analyze the essence of the enemy. No one on the chessboard could parse the will of the gods of the deep sea, so the most effective means of winning could not be implemented. When it comes to the next best, the matter of facing the deep-sea habitat is originally a rebuttal.

"Then find a way to kill her! You daughters of the deep are not invincible, and you will not admit defeat until I fall. ”

Resolutely looking at each other with depressed eyes, both of them saw the determination in each other's hearts to achieve their goals at the cost of their own lives. The dialogue is meaningless, and the two seem to be divergent, but in fact they have the same goal.

"There's also bad news, after that, I sent a number of submarines to recover the remains of Yamato and Sousuke Takayanagi, but before the submarine passed, Sousuke Takayanagi's body had been taken away, and only Yamato's body was recovered."

"The body was taken away? Creating a deep-sea perch? Impossible, make a new Suhime with Sosuke Takayanagi? In addition, the Yamato ......"

Akagi, where Kii was anxious, had long been concerned, "There is no trace of the Yamato's hull being intercepted, and I also let the submarine that went to blow up the wreckage of the Yamato." ”

The hull is a hundred times more important than the corpse, and the habit of the deep-sea fleet to collect technological weapons on the hull has long been known to Kii, but this time it was not. "Yamato's body is still relatively valuable, and it has not been taken away. What does the Deep Sea Fleet value about Sousuke Takayanagi? ”

The answer is unknown, but both men have a sense of foreboding. Also an "excellent" human chosen by the will of the deep sea, Gonjun Sato received a curse of "instantly killing the deep sea perch who comes into contact with him at will", but it seems that he has never heard any curse from Sosuke Takayanagi's mouth.

Maybe Sosuke Takayanagi is very special in his own right, but because of the too strong power of the ship's mother, everyone only sees the genius wisdom of Sosuke Takayanagi's mind.
