Chapter 1 Moment, Dawn
March 6, 1937. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu City Xiushan.
Four kimono girls sit around the cherry blossom trees and laugh and enjoy the flowers, and it is easy to meet groups of citizens traveling for spring outings in the suburbs at this time. But these four were no ordinary citizens, and any one of them enjoyed considerable power. Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Wyvern, they would never think about the ending they would each usher in in the future.
Under the tree in front of the flowers, the wine is fragrant, and the pastries made by Kaga make the other three people unable to stop talking.
"No, the handmade pastries of the First Air War are so delicious. Sister Feilong, I gave up my weight loss plan. Give me what you can't eat. The slightly drunk Canglong finished nibbling on the walnut shortbread and stretched out his black hand to his cousin's food box. Before the dragon could stop her, she grabbed two pieces and stuffed them into her mouth. "You're all married, so you have to pay attention to your manners. Such a dangerous, high-calorie snack, I'm happy to do it for you. ”
"Canglong! It was your arrogant appearance that scared away the son-in-law of the Xixiang family. If you don't drink well, drink less. Wyvern's preaching was unconvincing, and she herself was so drunk that her face was flushed, and she couldn't hold her glass steadily.
"Don't worry, Kaga brought enough snacks this time. The food of the first air battle is always sufficient! (chewing)" Akagi pointed to a large box behind the tree and shouted to stop the two people fighting for the shortbread.
"The cherry blossoms are fleeting, but the trees do not die, and the beauty and splendor that are not lost to the past are reproduced year after year with the gorgeous colors that were born on them." Kaga also drank a lot of wine, but her mind was still clear, and she kept an inorganic expression, impromptu praise to the cherry blossom tree next to her.
"A little modification can be used as a haiku record, and Kaga's perfection is too stressful for others." Akagi's mind turned to the bottom of the mountain, and the countryside on the outskirts was unobstructed. But what she wanted to see was farther away. "Compared to Japan's thousands of years of history, we are like cherry blossoms blooming on cherry blossom trees with a lifespan of more than 200 years."
The Wyvern and the Canglong stopped fighting, and their eyes lingered on Akagi for a few more seconds. "Akagi ......"
"Well~ Kaga actually wants to say this, right?"
"I'm just lamenting that you've swept away most of the beautiful pastries I've made."
Akagi Kaga and the two looked at each other and smiled, which also soothed the atmosphere that suddenly became serious. The four of them continued to drink and enjoy the flowers, and the spring in Wu City also brought the most romantic warm breeze here, they are the air carrier of the IJN Combined Fleet, a vital weapon of war, and they are the witches of the gods in the hearts of the people, and in this country of eight million gods, there may have been many more "gods" for a long time.
Flowers are beautiful, spring is beautiful, and people are more beautiful. Fade away in an instant.
Wyvern suddenly raised her hand to interrupt the rest of the group's laughter, and she looked in the direction of the military port in panic and stood up. "The Navy Staff sent special personnel to inspect the shipyard that had been mothballed for many years? What's going on? Wyvern didn't explain to the others, she directly contacted the communication group on her ship's hull, and soon her face became gloomy. Fake. ”
After only saying a short judgment, the flying dragon changed his slightly drunk state just now and said to Akagi. "Someone forged a certificate and trespassed on the 11th shipyard."
For Akagi, this was expected, and she originally planned to arrange for people in the organization to demolish them, but it happened that Nagumo Tadaichi and Yamaguchi Tawen went to visit, so they didn't have to worry about it.
"What do you say? Oh no, our Admirals for the First and Second Voyages are there. If it was a spy sent by a hostile country, he might ......" Canglong also came to his senses, dropped the wine glass and food box in his hand, and went to get the clogs placed outside the napkin. "Let's hurry up."
"It's only 1.5 kilometers away in a straight line, and we're just looking far away from the mountains." Kaga knew Akagi's plan, so he didn't worry that his admiral would be in danger.
"It's only such a distance, how about everyone compete to see who runs to the finish line first this time?" Canglong rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, but was stopped by the flying dragon on the side. "Don't worry, our Admiral has an easy time dealing with a few student-level youths, and they all bring the guards of the Town Guard's Mansion. We're rushing there and that's only going to make things worse. ”
Regardless of whether he goes there or not, Akagi's script will not be affected, and five ignorant young people trespass on the forbidden land, causing deaths and sealing the hull of the ship, thus using it as an opportunity to mobilize the "patriotic enthusiasm" of the youth in the country. The American Confederation was not the nearly invincible country in her original world, and the Japanese people were far less warlike than she had expected. Akagi moved to Kaga's side and whispered, "After that, I need to ask the members of the organization to call up the news media resources, and I hope you can do this yourself, which is very important for my future plans." The people under the legacy of Taisho still dared to shout out the call for the return of Yizhou, and the reclamation of Manchukuo was very active. ”
"It's human nature. The false benevolence of the lower creatures. It was only then that Kaga had an expression, a mockery of the entire human species, and the sacred war was seen by humans as a small game to negotiate with him.
"The price is a bunch of useless broken copper and the lives of five young people, do you think this price is worth it?"
"You can control the direction of public opinion of the foolish people of the whole country at the cost of calculating the number with a single digit, and there are few politicians in the empire who can reach your level."
After only ten minutes of waiting, the dragon's face changed again, and she looked very shocked, confirming several times with Yamaguchi Tawen on the other end of the communication.
"What's going on?" Akagi didn't have a dramatic follow-up in the original script, and she felt that something was wrong from the beginning, but it seemed to be just her personal delusion.
"All 5 intruders are dead. Forehead...... And then the thirteenth battleship...... Anyway, even I think it's almost impossible. But Tawenmaru did witness a new ship's core being built in the dockyard. ”
"What?!" Both Soryu and Akagi were taken aback, and both of them were eager to rush to the shipyard where the accident occurred right now, although they had completely different ideas.
"Tawenmaru originally thought that the five men might have been lured into the shipyard by a hostile country to break into the shipyard as spies, but they did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to break in to design a new ship. It's unbelievable, I can't believe that a young man of five school years can design a super dreadnought-class battleship. The wyvern put on his clogs and prepared to go over there. Canglong on the side had already set off first.
"Akagi-san, where's the Kaga people?" Wyvern pointed to the unoccupied seat next to Akagi, and wondered. "Looks like it was still here."
Akagi reacted immediately, pretending to be surprised and looking around, then stepped on the clogs outside her seat and ran to the back of the mountain. "Maybe she's in a hurry. You go to Shipyard 11 first, and Kaga and I will arrive later. ”
When something so miraculous happened, it could even be said to be a miraculous accident, and Akagi naturally thought of a suspect, and only that "god" would do something that seemed meaningless outside of the agreed time. Even this time I sent a warship that was stronger than the Nagato-class.
Not far away, Akagi spotted Kaga on a hillside, who was looking at the valley with hostility.
"Who did you find?"
"Here she is. I can't understand why she deliberately sabotaged your media campaign, which is extremely uneconomical in terms of revenue ratio. Of course, Kaga couldn't grasp the "god" that was almost equal to the concept, especially since the other party didn't plan to come to see his beloved daughter this time.
"The arrogance of the gods is equivalent to demonstrating to me before the official start: 'Give you another battleship, and you won't win me'. Your mother probably just wants to convey this meaning to us. ”
"No," Kaga narrowed her eyes and slowly backed away. This time she also planned for a long time, and she took away four of the souls of the five deceased. The remaining one remained in the shipyard for the time being. ”
"What is she for? Just showing me off? The mind of the gods is really incomprehensible. "Akagi's plan did not arrange to build more battleships, and after the appearance of regular air carriers, the battle mode of large ships and giant guns represented by battleships was eliminated.
Akagi only treats the sudden accident as a joke of the gods, and it is just psychological warfare before the official duel. "It's okay to have one more battleship, anyway, most people still have the idea of the old big ship and giant cannon, let this new battleship be used as a tool to contain the Nagato faction."
Kaga heard her mother's laughter, as if the other party had a firm grasp of victory and was just waiting for the moment when the showdown officially began. She is all too familiar with this, and the "Will of the Deep", which is good at playing with people's hearts, has gained plenty of happiness and resentment from several of the dead, and the souls of the dead who have been tainted with more pure resentment have become her mother's new minions, and will be her mother's pawns in the future.
"No, she's just making rules for us. For the efforts and preparations made by you and me, she only needs to borrow a few human souls that we have abandoned to fight, and also reserve one for us to taunt. Kaga clenched his fists and glared angrily in the direction of the sea. Thinking back to my mother's ugly face, I can't wait to destroy the deep-sea fleet she created and smash her in the face with a punch! ”
This is the true face of Kaga, and Akagi knows this well and controls Kaga as his trump card. It will be difficult for her future knowledge to be translated into combat effectiveness, so she needs a trump card that must be won.
A mother who was bewitched in the process of growing up and switched from the deep sea side to the side of the ship's mother, just to prove that she can surpass her almighty; The other crossed the world line to this place, and with the help of the imaginary ship girl technology, he created a new history.
War is the way the two of them look forward to it, and a new war situation is about to rewrite the naval war in the Pacific......
Waking up from the memories, the grief-bearing body has been abandoned by Akagi himself, but her heart is still full of pain. The departure of Kaga and Nagumo Tadaichi completely erased her attachment to this world. It is only because of her character of not admitting defeat that she has been able to persist until now, even if she has to carry out a core transfer with a high probability of death, Akagi has no fear. She had nothing to worry about losing, because she had nothing.
