Chapter 22: An Unexpected Meeting
On the evening of November 17. In www.biquge.info next day, Kii was going to return to Sasebo Military Port with his team, and it happened that in order to celebrate the occupation of Shanghai, the navy held a celebration party in a nightclub in Shanghai. She didn't want to participate, but due to Yubari's invitation to Mogami and Mikuma, she accepted the invitation.
Since the party was not suitable for children, Kii didn't bring them Mayrain, and since Oi and Kitakami arrived in Shanghai, Kii gave them a long vacation, saving them from showing affection in front of her every day. As for the Dead Reservoir Water Team C, they didn't see a shadow when they arrived in Shanghai, and maybe they were still lurking in China's coastal waters, preparing to snipe at China's reconnaissance ships.
So after thinking about it, Kii still pulled Secretary Sato, and it was too difficult for her to participate in a party alone, which was too difficult for her, an admiral with zero social skills.
"Here we are, Admiral Kiei." Sato Gonjun saw many people coming in and out of the navy outside the door of the lively nightclub, so he parked his car in the alley, and the two were not wearing military uniforms, so as not to cause a riot. After all, this party is for mid-level naval officers, it is private in nature, and it is not necessary to be too public.
Gonjun Sato walked in front as usual, and the two walked smoothly through the side door into the party venue. Japanese music was playing inside, and even some of the waiters at the intersection were replaced by navy personnel.
Kii saw Yubari and Mikuma, and Mogami drinking beer from afar, and because of their special status, they got a table seat alone.
"Kii is here, welcome~" Yubari looked extremely happy, and before Kii was seated, he poured her beer. "Now that you're here, eat and drink well. Don't be polite to the organizers, the Chinese businessmen here have invested a lot of money to curry favor with us. Hahaha. β
Kii also felt that a few middle-level officers of the navy could have the money to put on a feast, and behind the joint authorship was the Chinese businessmen in Shanghai. But since it's not bribery, it doesn't matter if the gendarmerie investigates.
"I'd better drink less...... Kii took a sip of beer and quickly put down her glass, it was her first time drinking. Sato Gonjun on the side seemed to be doing a lot more, and a few subordinates brought by Yubari quickly mingled with him, and a few of them you have a cup and I have a cup, for fear of snubbing each other if you drink slowly.
Yubari patted his head, as if he had thought of something, "I almost forgot, you just turned 20." Waiter, come on orange juice! β
At the end of the week, she doesn't have the power of a woman, so she still dresses up in a short-haired uniform, but Mikuma loosens the two twists, ties a pair of ponytails, and changes into a dress like Yubari. The two also met Kii for the first time, and Sanjo Teruma didn't tell them the truth about Kibayashi becoming Kii, so Mogami and Mikuma also thought that Kii was the fifth daughter of the Sanjo family who had been hiding for many years.
"Beer or something, it's really not enough. Waiter, change me for Chinese liquor! Mogami was probably a little drunk, beckoning the waiter with orange juice and serving her liquor. Mikuma immediately shook his hand, indicating that he didn't need it. "Summarily, you've drunk too much."
"It's okay, Mikuma, you don't understand. This wine has no taste when you drink it with a low degree, and it is easy to get dizzy. A bottle with a high degree is like entering a fairyland. β
Kii thinks that if Mojo really drinks a bottle of liquor, he can send it to the emergency room of the hospital to experience Wonderland.
"Yes, change the liquor for her." Yuzhang pulled the waiter and whispered to him to find someone with a relatively low degree. Although Yubari is one level lower than Mogami Mikuma's identity, she has more of a captain's image.
Kii watched Mogami carry the wine bottle, pour it directly into his mouth, and then pour it on the wine table with "glory". Mikuma, as a younger sister, immediately called his subordinates, and several of them carried the drunk Mogami and left the party first.
"Is Mogami okay?"
"If there is anything to do, just send her to lie down for a while behind the venue." Yubari was not there, so he simply sat next to Kii. "Tell me, is Sasebo's job still going well?"
Halfway through the party, the crowd shouted hooray over the horns as several officers opened large bottles of champagne. Even Yubari jumped on the chair and raised his glass to cheer. For military men, there is no better hymn than victory. The navy has not had a chance to fight for too long, and it is rare to take Shanghai, and being the second protagonist is naturally an incentive for the navy.
"Sister Yuzhang, pay attention to the image." Kii's reminder was also drowned in cheers, and she had to raise a glass to celebrate with the enthusiastic participants. γThe wine is so hard to drink......γ
Since they were all officers of the navy, everyone didn't care about the image problem anymore, and after cheering, many people took advantage of the wine to go to the dance floor and dance out of tune. There were even a few young officers of the same period, spraying champagne with each other and having a great time.
The organizers also changed the music to cheerful tunes, which further exacerbated the level of nonsense in the party venue.
"Kii, don't sit here, let's go on stage HAPPY!" Yubari summoned two electric guitars out of nowhere and pulled Kii onto the band's small stage. Before the Chinese performers could understand what was going on, Yubari and his subordinates drove them aside.
"I don't know how to play an electric guitar." Kii glanced at the instrument in his hand and immediately made a difficulty. Her knowledge of music was limited to singing a few songs and taking recorder lessons in junior high school.
"You're with me. Kii, you go and beat the drum kit. Let that group of juniors understand that our soldiers in Wugang are all on the battlefield and can play music. β
Without Kiida saying it, Yubari pressed Kii in front of the drum kit, and she connected the power herself, playing European and American rock music with her subordinates.
"Rejoice! Long live the Imperial Navy! β
Yubari holds the microphone and sings an unknown English rock rap in her pure Hokkaido rural English. Kii's drumming sound, under the noise of Yubari and others, was like a mosquito moaning, unable to keep up with the beat, and it was harmless.
More young officers began to party on the dance floor, and half-eaten dishes on the table turned into "weapons" in their hands, covering the faces of their colleagues nearby. Suits and dresses or something, they don't care anymore, a rare opportunity to indulge, a mere set of clothes is nothing.
"That's it, get high!"
"Mogami, don't drink it."
Mogami didn't know when he was back at the party, and even though he was being pulled by Mikuma, he still twisted his dance steps and jumped on the chair.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen such a joyous scene, and Kii's last celebration party was to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the academy. At that time, there was also a group of fox friends and dog friends around him, gathering together to celebrate and play. Now she is the only one, continuing to live for her ideals.
Sato Gonjun walked behind Kii at some point, "Admiral Kii, why don't you continue beating the drum?" He didn't realize that Kii was wandering in the world, and his mind was not on the accompaniment.
"Can't keep up with the beat. So I didn't knock it. β
Kii put down the small drum stick and quietly slipped off the stage. She is not suitable for showing herself in a conspicuous place, hiding in a corner will make her feel at ease and not cranky.
Suddenly, the door to the party venue was rudely slammed open, and a large number of armed gendarmes rushed in.
Naturally, the organizers were not powerless, and one of the naval staff officers with the rank of lieutenant immediately stepped forward and angrily demanded that the gendarmes leave immediately.
"The soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Navy actually gathered here to go crazy?" Have you all thrown the five provinces into the sea? "A woman in an old-fashioned naval uniform stepped out of the gendarme, knocked down the organizer who was still talking nonsense with one punch, and behind her was Vice Admiral Hasegawa, commander of the 3rd Task Force, and Admiral Terumasa Sanjo, Admiral of the 4th Sentai and Sentai 7th Sentai Admiral.
It can be said that just one Izumo only shocked a few people, but the navy chief behind her, with his authority, was enough to make everyone in the audience bow their heads and admit their mistakes, except for Kii.
The chief of the gendarmerie, in accordance with the plan realized, immediately detained several of the organizers on the list, and asked all the people in the audience to register according to their numbers.
It was some people who were shocked, many of whom were already so drunk that they didn't even react when the gendarmes came to them, and continued to pull the people around them to drink and punch.
For this kind of person, the captain of the gendarmerie is not in a hurry, after all, all the officers present are officers with military ranks, and it doesn't matter if his gendarmes don't know him, their superiors are basically here, and their superiors can claim it themselves.
So much so that the drunken officer shouted to the gendarme: Are you counting that onion? I was ...... dignified, and then I was slapped by my boss and sobered up, so frightened that the scene of apology was staged repeatedly.
Sanjo Teru was striding across the venue, ignoring the scareless subordinates of the Seventh Sentai on both sides. "Yubari, Mogami, Mikuma. Register your name, then go back to the port station and calm down. β
The ship's mother, who the gendarmes didn't dare to deal with, became like a good cat in front of the admiral, especially when she was lying on the table and pretending to be dead a second ago, and when she heard the order of Sanjo Terumasa, she immediately stood up and nodded in agreement. It is better to be confined for a few days in your own home than to be sent to the gendarmerie.
Kii watched Yubari and the three obediently sign and register, but no one seemed to pay attention to her, especially Lieutenant General Hasegawa, the only one with a higher position than her, who disappeared with his face. One by one, the officers who attended the party were taken away by name or handed over to their superiors, but the military police on Kii's side deliberately walked around.
Sato Gonjun knew that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, so he planned to slip away through the back door with Kii. It's better that no one cares, and to be honest, Kii is the head of the support unit that escorts the transport fleet, and even Vice Admiral Hasegawa has to call the commander of the Navy Command Headquarters and Sasebo Naval Port to punish her.
Takao and Maya "just happened" to come through the back door, with flashes and cameras in their hands, and then took pictures of Kii.
"Hello Admiral Kii, I'm Kaohsiung of the Fourth Sentai Team. It's a shame that we'll meet again in a Chinese nightclub. I will deliver your photo to Commander Nagato in three days. When you become an admiral, you forget what you were so quickly? Can you grow a little? While you're here to play wildly, the soldiers of the Empire are fighting on the front lines! How old are you? Do you still need someone to teach you how important things are? Kaohsiung didn't give face, and deliberately got out of the way, signaling that Kii could go.
was so humiliated, if Kii hadn't been stopped by Sato Quanjun, he would have to fight with Kaohsiung. But she blushed and waved her fists, in exchange for the indifferent eyes of Kaohsiung and Maya.
"Let go of me, Gonjun Sato! Shige Patrol also dared to talk like this to the battleship? β
Although Sato Quan Jun is happy that Kii has the courage to face other people's difficulties, how dare he let go of the order, people have made it clear that the backer behind them is Nagato, not to mention whether Kii can beat Kaohsiung and Maya, as long as he does it, the responsibility will only be heavier.
"Senior Sato, you can do what my sister asks." Terumasa Sanjo and Yubari also walked to the back door, and before he could wait for Kii to turn around, he punched Kii in the face. Kii was knocked back a few steps, his mind was dizzy, and he sat on the ground and couldn't tell the difference between up and down, left and right.
"Hui Zheng, she was brought by me. It's all my fault. You don't fight. Yubari suddenly felt heartache, after all, she was the future sister-in-law.
With a wave of his hand, Sanjo Terumasa stepped forward to pick up Kii, threw it hard towards the door, and threw it directly out the back door. "Get out! Lost the face of the Sanjo family! β
This time it's Kaohsiung's turn and the others are dumbfounded, even if Sanjo Terumasa didn't know that Kii was his sister last time, can he still do it so heavily now? They didn't want to take care of other people's family affairs, so they turned around and left the venue, anyway, the prospective ship mother would not be beaten to death by ordinary people.
