According to the command order, Chikuma retreated with the Ninth Sentai Team, and Tone and the rest of the Eighth Sentai went to the area where the incident occurred to rescue the remaining naval soldiers of the American Federation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info above. ”

Admiral Ito got this retreat order, and the whole person felt unpleasant that he had bitten a stone while eating. It's just a boatload of soldiers of the American Federation who escaped from Australia, and Sousuke Takayanagi actually wants to carry forward the humanitarian spirit to save them? I still think the situation is too good when I'm full, and I want to make more trouble.

However, the military order is like a mountain, and if he dares to disobey in front of the battle, if he dares to disobey in front of the battle, enough people will immediately stand up and ask him to apologize.

"Go to TMD! Retreat, retreat, and let Lao Tzu be his charity ambassador for Sosuke Takayanagi! Obviously, the Navy Headquarters has already stated that it will not cooperate with the American Federation, and he actually threw the unfortunate thing to me again! ”

Throwing the newspaper into the trash, Admiral Ito kicked the trash can several times. The commander of his dignified battle team was going to save the remnants of the enemy country, which was simply humiliating him, the descendant of a samurai with pure blood.

When the inferior Americans were invaded, they did not think about how to draw more enemies to serve their country, but begged the belligerents to come to humanitarian aid. Admiral Ito was confident that he would be unable to return to the end of the battle, and even if he jumped off the deck, he would swim to the enemy ship with explosives in his arms and try to sink one.

Ligon hadn't recovered from the shock just now, his face was pale, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead. "Chikuma is damaged now, and Kii's Ninth Sentai is another Glory Sentai team, so we are the most suitable candidates. What to do? ”

"What else can I do, according to the orders of the command, Chikuma and the Ninth Sentai retreat. Let's go rescue those white-skinned rice animals. ”

Admiral Ito was in a bad mood, and in the morning he was anxious about the situation of the battle, so he waited for the order to retreat, and waited for the joint mission that made him extremely disgusted.

If it weren't for the reconnaissance intelligence that it had been confirmed that the enemy had lost the air carrier, he would rather go back and be stabbed than let his subordinates continue to stay in the dangerous seas.

Also receiving instructions was Kii of Sentai Nine...... The secretary of the officer, Gonjun Sato, Kii's fever has just begun to subside, and he is sleeping comfortably. Little did she know that the battleship Suhime had already sailed for the New Hebrides with more than 500 ships.

"Rescue the remnants of the American Commonwealth?" The telegram sent to Gonjun Sato also mentions the mission of the 8th Sentai Team, and incidentally asks the 9th Sentai to accompany the damaged Chikuma to ensure Chikuma's safety.

"What do you do to save people? No one was going to cooperate with the Commonwealth of America at all, so why risk saving people? "Gonjun Sato would never believe that Sousuke Takayanagi would make such a superfluous decision for the sake of humanitarianism or justice, and nine times out of ten he will rely on this rescue to make some small moves.

"Wait a moment. I'm going to ask Admiral Kie. ”

Gonjun Sato didn't explain Kii's fever to the officers on the ship, he only said that Kii had other things to deal with all day.

None of the officers on the ship dared to suspect that Sato was lying, and neither Kii nor Sato could afford to provoke him, the former being the commander of the warband, and the latter holding their handle, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kii was obedient to Sato Gonjun.

Sato returned to the captain's room and pushed the door open, but there was no one else in the cabin. The military doctor is probably busy writing a detailed report on Kii's fever so that he can return to the Imperial Academy in the future as a deputy to the director of Kitamura.

Gonjun Sato brought a chair and sat in front of Kii's bed. He saw Kii's eyelashes flutter and his breathing rate fluctuated, as if Kii had woken up and was pretending to be asleep.

"Admiral Kie, time is of the essence. I'll read out the instructions from the command first. They asked our 9th Sentai to accompany the damaged Chikuma at once and join the following heavy cruisers. That is, we can retreat now. Next, we will face the deep-sea fleet led by the battleship Suhime as the second echelon. ”

Sato Gonjun saw that Kii was still pretending to be asleep, so he had to tell what he knew. "Who you were before and what you did has nothing to do with me. The first time I met you, I met a ship who was about to become the flagship of the Combined Fleet, a star of hope for the future of our Imperial Japan. ”

"As for all the unsatisfactory deeds in the past, they were all done by a man named Sanjo Kirin. But in my opinion, it is impossible for Sanjo Kirin to turn a bastard and wait for death team into the main team you are now as a team commander like you. The only person I serve and respect is you, Kii, do you know how high the hit rate of your main gun shot was during yesterday's five-hour battle? 56%。 Not in exercises, but in real combat. I dare say you're brilliant as a battleship mother, you're a genius. ”

If Kii wanted to know what his attitude was towards a strangely resurrected man, Gonjun Sato was willing to tell part of the truth. He admires Kii now.

No one has ever praised Kii's talent, even she herself regards being able to become Kii's shipwreak as a credit for the accident caused by her own design, if he is lucky enough to survive, not to mention that men are not likely to become contractors, with his ability is definitely not comparable to many excellent shipwreak reserve cadets in the Naval Academy.

Someone actually praised her for being a genius today, Kii inexplicably felt like crying, she was finally recognized by others, and all the relics inherited from Sanjo Kirin were faded, and with her efforts after the resurrection, she was recognized as a ship girl's excellence.

She Kii is real, recognized, and unwittingly at the pinnacle of glory of the IJN Combined Fleet.

"I'm so tired of living...... No one can talk to you...... None of his friends were around......" Kii sat up from the bed with a crying voice and buried his head in the quilt. "Now I tell me that my friends have become the enemies of the deep-sea habitat of humans, and I am the only one still fighting for the ideals I once had. I'm scared, scared! If they do attack me, I'll die in the Pacific, so I'll have to fight my old friends. But I can't accept it! They were all the same as me when they were alive, and they even wanted the Japanese Empire to dominate the world, why did they become the way they are now! I don't understand! The truth is so cruel!! I might as well not let me know that they are resurrected and let me shoot at them. I can't do it!! ”

The pain that Kii suppressed in her heart was poured out at once, and from the time she learned the information to the present, not only did she have no one to tell, but she also had to make up excuses to deceive herself. If the flower blossom courtyard dragon apricot seen after the end of the naval battle of Solomon is a real person, then everything is undeniable. All four of her friends have become deep sea perchants, and the so-called soul return to the sea, witnessing the oath of the Japanese Empire to dominate the world, no longer exists.

If it wasn't for that oath, why would she fight on the battlefield? So she has been building a fortress of lies trying to keep the oath that has become empty in her heart, but this self-deception will be blown down with just a gust of wind, and the oath is long gone......

Sato's encouragement allowed Kii to discover a new reason that she had never had the courage to admit. She is to become the flagship of the Combined Fleet by her own will, and she is to realize her dream of fighting to the death against the enemy on the blue waves. Now, she can't take half a step back, she can't see her former figure. No matter how cruel he is to her, he will bury the undead named Sanjo Kirin.

"No one can help me and tell me what to do. Just expecting me to win again, it's really hard for me. Anyone can tell the truth, but I can't shoot at them! ”

Hugging Kii tightly, Gonjun Sato comforted Kii in pain. He was faced with the choice of aiming the blade at his loved ones, it was indeed the cruelest thing in the world, he knew it was right, but the tears still flowed, his gums were bleeding, his hands were shaking, and he wanted to stab the knife into his heart and escape from the choice.

That kind of pain, as long as you taste it once, you will never want to touch it, and it will become a scar in your heart for a lifetime.

For the first time, Gonjun Sato felt that his bad character was wrong, and if he hadn't been hiding it from Kii, Kii wouldn't have sealed himself in a cage. On the contrary, Kii also tried her best to maintain her glorious image for outsiders, and forced a smile on everyone. "Just do what you really think, Kii. You can do it. ”

If the battleship Suhime appeared in yesterday's battle, Kii would have collapsed on the spot, and her friend Hyozaburo Mito, who had made an oath with her, would have turned into a giant battleship and become an enemy of humanity.

He could have thought of it.

"I'm sorry." （X2）

The two said the same thing.

――――

Truk Poldi.

The letter of appointment that Nagato never dreamed of actually appeared in front of her, and her brother-in-law lifted her ban on Truk Podi and gave her a dream mission.

-- Supporting the Combined Fleet, which is at war in the waters of the New Hebrides, and contributing to the Empire's domination of the Pacific.

She no longer has to bear the name of a sinner all day long, and spend her war spirit in Trukpo. Her mission is not over, and her brother still needs her to continue fighting, which is a great salvation for her.

The rusted war knife was unsheathed, and just by lightly wiping it with gauze dipped in knife oil, all the rust stains on it were wiped off.

The sword is still sharp, and she Nagato is still the strongest ship girl who created the combined fleet. She had waited for this moment for almost two years, especially when she was defeated head-on by the battleship Suhime in the harbor of Truk Anchorage, and the knife wound had subsided, but Nagato would not forget the shame. She was defeated head-on, and her faith did not allow for recognition.

Now is her chance to make a comeback. If it were possible, she would definitely have to fight the battleship Suhime in addition to the artillery battle, and have another white-knuckle battle that gambled on the dignity of the samurai.

"Tianlong, Longtian. Start preparing for your departure right away. The garrison mission is over, and from now on we are a reinforcement fleet for the Australian operation! ”

The two of them will not be mistaken, the Nagato, who once waved his arms and could inspire millions of Japanese hot-blooded men to go to the battlefield, has been resurrected again!
