"It's easy to say that it starts to strike at the first wave of the enemy's fleet, but it's really difficult to achieve."

Hayato said as he looked at the chart, he was sitting in Musashi at the moment, with some expectation and some confusion in his eyes.

"It's not really smooth sailing...... The people of Xingao have also followed, and I hope that the next battle should be a little easier. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Hayato leaned back in his chair in a muttering voice.

Hayato actually has more reflection on his military career in the past few years, and after returning from the duel with Lockat, his inner unrest has become more prominent.

After the famous martial artist, the excellent tactical genius went from a nobody to a well-known silver star in just a few years.

Due to the wide range of contacts, it can be said that it is smooth sailing in the military department, and even if you want to, promotion to marshal is only a matter of time and seniority.

But is this really what I want and need?

And now it has also united the fleet of Xingao and fulfilled the previous agreement, but Hayato is now confused.

Lokat Prada, who fled for the sake of the fleet and his ideals or righteousness, defeated himself both strategically and tactically.

But what really defeats you is your firm faith.

If you just cling to the Combined Fleet and continue to wrap yourself in the posture of a silver star, is it really what you want?

"Musashi, have you already done what you asked you to investigate?"

Hayato took a deep breath and asked Musashi, who was doing nothing.

"I investigated it a bit, but I suspect there's something wrong with the record, so I'll put it in the third cabinet on the left for the time being."

Musashi pushed his glasses, compared to his personality a few months ago, Musashi finally regained the composure that a soldier should have, but once Lokat and his fleet were mentioned, Musashi still instinctively felt disgusted, but this was also something that could not be helped.

"There is still a little time before reaching the combat position, and the preemptive reconnaissance and suppression will be handed over to Angelina and Erica, which happens to be an opportunity to practice."

Hayato stood up, walked over to the nautical filing cabinet on the bridge, and took out the information he had ordered Musashi to obtain.

This is an investigation report on the Southern Cross fleet, or an internal military evaluation of the Southern Cross fleet.

It has been recorded since the time when it was still a subsidiary of the Yokosuka Main Port Fleet and the Third Fleet, and from this file you can see the growth path of the Southern Cross.

However, among the vast archives of the military department, there are very few materials related to the Southern Cross, and most of them have been sealed or destroyed.

It's called 'denaturalization', but in fact, this hand to cover up the destruction of information is a bit of a cover-up.

Although the general evaluation is not very high, after the second defense of Maizuru Port, after returning to Tokyo to report on the work, there was a steady improvement, but after Tanaka came to power, the evaluation took a sharp turn, and the secret investigation of the Southern Cross fleet has also become much more, and it can be seen that Tanaka has a great dissatisfaction with the new Maizuru's Southern Cross fleet.

But what really makes Hayato a little puzzled is that a lot of the content has been blacked out after this, or whitened, and if you want to modify the file, the permissions required are not something that ordinary people can get.

"The enemy ahead has discovered! Carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft returned! ”

Musashi's recital called Hayato back from his thoughts.

"Got it, the torpedo machine can be used, lieutenant general, and then the torpedo cover will be please."

Turning his gaze to the heavy mine-loaded cruiser with black and white northern camouflage, he buried the doubts in his heart for the time being, and prepared for battle wholeheartedly.

On the other side, the Liberator fleet, which was preparing to intercept and attack the headquarters of the 11th District, was also preparing to make contact with the enemy.

"What is the configuration of enemy ships?"

Locatt was sitting in the command seat, but his expression was bored, as he had seen that Dafeng's expression had changed from active and belligerent to a subtle expression of 'Ah, are we going to fight salted fish?'.

"The heavy patrol water strike force, as well as a small number of destroyer teams, although they can directly bombard in waves, but I don't think your goal is to directly intercept people and go home to sleep, right?"

Dafeng looked at Locat, and then looked slightly at the snow-white destroyer escorting on one side, which was so conspicuous in the blue sea.

"Of course...... I don't think it's going to be easy to finish the outpost either, and ...... Our arrogant princess obviously needs some actual combat to run in. ”

Lockat sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose again, seemingly complaining a lot about Larissa joining the battle sequence.

However, in fact, the results of the contract exercise with the Sixth Destroyer Team were satisfactory.

But in fact, whether you can follow the command and get rid of the opponent is a question.

"The Sixth Destroyer Team cooperated with the Decembrists to enter the battlefield from the flank to meet the enemy, Dafeng, Xianghe, air support preparations, King Kong Hazel is approaching head-on, and the rear of the ship Dafeng is observing."

As if in a change of mood, Locatt breathed a little, then stood up again, looking at the end of the ocean.

Although the enemy ship has not yet made official contact, Lokat can feel it.

This battle will definitely not be very easy, and it can even be a little tough.

Because he's feeling a familiar call, yes, that's right.

The other self in the deep sea is approaching him, and the agitation in the abyss is like two hearts beating together.

Although it is still far away, and it is still far from the skirmish.

However, he knew very well that this was not the moment of decisive battle, and what really cared about him was the throbbing sensation that seemed like a war book.

"Admiral, what's going on?"

And Dafeng, who saw Locat's fugue at a glance, had no choice but to pat Locat.

"It's nothing, it's just that an acquaintance is coming to meet us, and he must have prepared a 'good' gift."

As he said gloomily, Lokat pursed his lips and looked up again, his confident expression regaining his confidence.

"The battle begins!"

PS: There's nothing inspiring in this chapter, but it's finally getting into the fight, huh.
